On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Aaron Vickers discuss Team Canada's need for another defenceman after Alex Pietrangelo withdraws due to an ailment. They debate whether MacKenzie Weegar could fill the role, evaluate other potential options like Evan Bouchard, Dougie Hamilton, and Drew Doughty, and consider the growing trend of players opting out to prepare for the NHL season's stretch drive.

(23:33) Flames VP of Hockey Operations and Wranglers GM Brad Pascall joins the show to provide insight into the team’s recent performances, Rory Kerins’ reassignment, and the importance of veteran players like Dryden Hunt. Brad also reflects on Devin Cooley’s return and Clark Bishop’s inspiring story, including his first NHL goal in six years.
