Mario's at the United Center that way. Stephen is here. Stephen. I'm back. We had the whole game back together. We had to give him several sacks of cash to show up tonight. The red carpets rolled out and some cake. We were feeding him grapes and fanning him during the intermission. Don't forget the wine. The wine, of course. Stephen is all about the cake. All about the cake. And he likes, I want my cake and I want to eat it too. He likes baked goods too.

Well, it's good to have you back, Stephen. We won't keep you, you know, it's a one-time thing. Well, keep mine. You're getting paid. I'm getting paid per minute, so I want to go too far over. Talk faster. You've got me and Stephen on the same night. Yeah, this is getting expensive. This is, yeah, well, that too.

It's, yeah, well, that too.

It's all this talent wasted for such a meaningless garbage game.

Yeah, boy, oh boy.

Yeah, if you missed it and who could blame you, the Rockford Ice Hawks lose four nothing to the blues.

I will say the first period was pretty competitive.

They hung in there.

I'm not, you know, there's nothing to,

there's really very little time we need to spend talking about this game.

But here's what I'll say.

There was a sliver of an opportunity for guys like Kevin Kortinski, Lucas Reichel,

Ryan Green, Oliver Moore, Ethan Del Mastro to make their final bids to make the roster.

And I didn't see enough from real.

I guess Ryan Green had a pretty decent game, but I didn't see much from any of them that makes me feel like any minds were changed tonight based on the way they played.

I was really hoping.

And what could have been, Lucas Reichael's last game probably was Lucas Reichael's last game as a Black Hawk,

that he would have flashed something. Well, he had one play in the first period. Can you remind me about it? Oh, well, there was a play, we all kind of like, oh, where he got pushed off the puck, and then he stole it back and fell on Sam Lafferty. That's right. And then I don't remember if he got on the ice again after that. There wasn't much. I mean, that was typical Lucas Brackle. Makes a really good player early where you're like, all right. Yeah. We're going to get a good Reichel game and then you're still waiting. He at least to get to wear the A on his jersey for his last year. Yeah, that was cool. That was cool.

You know, and look, in fairness, when your best players are Ryan Green, Oliver Moore, and Lucas Reikle, against the pretty much, I'd say 90% of that roster was the Blues NHL roster.

Two thirds at least.

Right.
