show Monday through Fundy ten am to noon on check. You're in local sports
coverage laves here? Well, why am I watching it? Because it's on
TV where Don Taylor cucumber is the worst vegetable out there, no lasting power,
no staying power. And Rick Dully Wall forty five minutes in front of
a mirror. I banged it years. Donnie and Dolly ten o'clock in downtown
Vancouver run the Paul Carson Studio. Thanks for tuning in, Folks. It's
Donny and Dolly the team on Check. Don Taylor, along with Brick Dully
Wall. Ryan Henderson is our producer. He's the man of the control is
our director. The voice of God is Derek Wong. How are you couldn't
be better? Abbots for Canucks host the Calgary Wranglers tonight. The Wranglers,
who finished with the best record in the American Hockey League up to nothing on
after a couple of overtime wins in Alberta, so they play again tonight.
So it's the best of five. Calgary can wrap it up. If Abbotsford
ends up winning, they play another game on Friday. If they win again,
then there's a game five fifty deciding game Sunday in Abbotsford. Here's what
I like, Donny. In game two it was the young kids that scored
our Steeve Danes two shorthanded goals on the same Calgary power play unheard of?
When is you know that doesn't happen every day of the week. And Tristan
Nielsen, the Fort Saint John kid, the good The young kids scored Donny
in a pressure pack situation against the best team. But Abbotsford better get their
power play, going down over nine in the first two games over seven in
the second game. You can't beat the best team in the American league if
you're gonna go over on the power play with the other thing. Niels Hoglander,
who is who has you know been arguably their best player? Yeah?
Ibbots for the best player in the playoffs. He's running into penalty troubles in
this series so far, so obviously he's got to stay out of the sin
bit. They need him on the ice. I don't know. I think
there's some tickets still available. I know we've been through this before. It's
a Wednesday night and we know junior hockey in the American League day best nights
or Fridays and Saturdays. But pack that rank tonight, Abbsburg. Let's stick
on the theme of the Canucks Vancouver version this time. Tyler Myers is going
overseas Finland and Latvia for the World Championships to represent Canada. He won't be
the only Canuck defenseman. You know that. Ethan Barry committed to Team Canada.
So Tyler Myers goes over. Why does this make sense for him?
Oh, it makes a lot of sense for him, just you know,
he keeps it's a good experience. Yeah, Donnie, we don't get to
go to Finland every day of the week. You know, you take your
family, you have a good time, you go play some hockey. It's
a good opportunity for him to keep going. And Ethan Bear and Tyler Myers
to the Cannucks defenseman going. Connor Garland's going as well for the Americans.
So some good representation by Vancouver. Now some local guys that are not going,
Donnie. Troy Stetcher was asked, he said, no, I think
Troy Stetcher is in the UFA. He's a UFA this summer again. So
I think that played a role, and I think that Devon Tave's a kid
out of Absburg, Colorado Avalanche second in the NHL don for NHL points for
defenseman Devon Day. Tave said no to Canada, He's not gonna go.
So Stecher said no, Tave said no, and Myers said yes, Canada
versus Latya. That's our country's opener. It's on May twelfth. Does that
say something? Look, I'm not knocking anybody who's made it to the National
hockeyy. You have to be a superior athlete to do so. But let's
face that the Canucks were exactly a defense of Juggernai this. Yes, does
it say something about Canada's defense if Tyler Meyer is an Ethan Barrett part of
it? Yeah, I I I'll just tell you that a lot of a
lot of players said no. A lot of players said no to the Americans.
A lot of players said nohere the Canadians, Donnie, after you said
it yesterday before the show, after a grind of an NHL season, you
want to you want to relax. You don't want to hop on a plane
go overseas. You know. So anyways, that there is that factor but
some guys go, Lucit just going to a good Vancouver kid. He's gonna
go to Finland and he's a UA. He's a UFA, he's a you
know. I heard Bruff and Rough talking about Lucit this morning, if you'll
come to Vancouver. They had it wrong, both of them. But anyways,
that's okay. What do you mean they they had it wrong. They
were saying Lucas is gonna retire. He's not gonna retire. I talked to
his agent, Jerry Johansson, good guy. They're gonna try and get another
contract. Donnie. I think luch still wants to play, and they're asking
about if Luca and Vancouver works. I don't know what you're done. But
if Lucit is gonna play in Vancouver and signed with the Canucks, he's got
to be an everyday player. He was an healthy scratch in Calgary this year.
I think if you're gonna play that role for the Vancouver Canucks and Rick
Tarckett, you gotta be an everyday player. You can't be bouncing in and
out of the press box. Well that's easier said than done at this stage
of his career. Yeah, but he's still tough. He still defends his
teammates and he's still one of the toughest guys in the NHL. Don and
you know that, so their team, there will be interest in Milan,
Lucite. I take it to the bank with Milan with Tyler Meyer, and
I'm not sure of their history internationally, but I think as you get older
in later in your career, I think representing your country no matter what the
event is, it's it's bucket list, isn't it. Let's get this done.
I want I want to get this. I want to do this at
least once or you know, twice during my career. Yeah, it's important.
I think that's true, and that trip and everything that you represent the
country. There's no better feeling. Um, let's stick with the Canucks here.
Elias Petterson, Well, first of all, I'll do this lady being.
I know you were excited about that yesterday, Lady Being finalists announced yesterday,
but also the Selkie finalists were announced yesterday for best defensive forward in the
National Hockey League. The three finalists are Patriot Spurge Run. Everybody just assumes
he's going to win. Another one of the Selkies. Who should name the
award after him, Nico Heischer and Mitch Marner on no shortage of people in
connect Nation. Upset that Elias Petterson wasn't We don't know how many votes he
got. We don't it wasn't named one of the three finalists. I'm sure
he got voted on. His day will come. It doesn't have to be
this year. I mean, look at the finalists. I mean, can
you complain with any of the finalists on well, because he's a league and
he's a winger. Most guys that win this are centerman because no one has
more responsibility defensively more than a centerman. So there are surprises that Marner got
it simply because he's a winger. Not many wingers win this award. But
Petterson will win it someday. Down someday he'll get there. He'll be in
the final three. Not this year. He was plus sixteen. He had
five shorthanded goals after moving to p K one hundred and two points. Not
that that plays a whole. I think they want an all around game,
so points do play some part into it. But you talk about being a
center iceman. If you're going to be a center iceman, if you are
a centi riceman in the National Hockey League, and you want to win the
Selkie Trophy, you have to be pretty good at faceoffs forty three percent for
EP forty. That doesn't get it done. Then there's team performance absolutely twenty
fifth in goals against per game not good enough. And then the pek which
Elias was part of. I know he's not the only problem out there,
and I don't think it was a problem at all, but dead last,
that's a thirty second a pk. So it's it's not just what he's doing
out there, that's what the whole team is doing. The thing is with
Elias Patterson, and this isn't going to be the case with a lot of
the voters, many of whom, most of whom are situated back East.
You really have to see him play live to appreciate what he does. Defensively.
That's a good point. Is he is really conscientious when it comes to
backchecking. Backchecking he is there's a lot of hustle there. When you think
Elias Petterson, you think of him with the puck, you think of his
creativity offensively, but when you see him live and it just doesn't you know,
you don't always pick this up on television. That's like you rarely do
you see him, like you really notice how much he cares about backchecking right
from his first one. That's one of the reasons why he's in the conversation
at the very least. But not a finalist this time finalist team has to
be better than all three finalists, all three of those all three of those
teams made the playoffs. Yea, No, that's a good point, and
he'll get there someday. And his backchecking game one in the NHL, you
see you saw it in game one, Holy smokes, this guy cares first
guy back We'll deal with the kracking and Stars. So the two games last
night is the second round gotten underway. We'll deal with the kracking and Stars
a little bit later when we deal with our poll question. It is somewhat
Stars related and we're gonna relate it to the Canucks. But Florida also beats
the Leaves by a score of four to two. You just assume there was
going to be some sort of emotional letdown for Florida after what they did against
the Boston Bruins, and that wasn't the case. They were great, They're
fast, and I think the Leafs are going to have trouble with that.
They certainly did last night. Panthers over the Lease by a score of four
to two. Matthew Kachuck three assists, he also had nine. You know
what a leader he is. And the thing is with him last night,
and I think this must have been part of the Leafs a game plan,
in particularly Luke Chen's. He got hit a lot. He was giving out,
he had, he got any. Part of their plan was let's,
you know, let's let's drive that guy into the ground. It didn't work.
He got he got the three assists, and I think he's the type
of player. A lot of great players are like this, and he is
a great player. You hit them, it gets them more involved. He
was just a fine last night. He was he was outstanding. Luke Schen
six hits last night, Donni fourteen minutes. He didn't play a ton.
But you know again in three block shots, his price on July first is
going to go up. And if the Canucks want to get Luke Schen back,
it's the price point is going up. I'm telling you that much.
Right now. I have a couple of friends, I'm sure you do,
two who are big Leaf fans, and they laughed when the Canucks probably when
their team. When the Leaves picked up Luke Chen, It's like, what's
he gonna do? What He's sure he was good with the Canucks, but
the Leaves are so much better. And they all they both admit that,
hey, great he's been he's been great, and you're right. His his
cost is is because price point is up. Luke Schen is what what what
Luke Schen costs? Two months ago in July? First, Donny, that's
not the price anymore. The other player I want to talk about. I
remember being at a game at Rogers Arena, Uh Canucks versus the Ducks,
and I couldn't believe how good this kid named Brandon Montour was good lacrosse player
too, by the way, but um, but about how good he was
on the ice, and kind of a strange career after that, never lived
up to the expectations, went from Anaheim to Buffalo. But that talent was
there, like the skating was there, the offensive potential was there. So
he's got four goals in three games. He scored again last night. He
scores twice in Game seven. If I'm not mistaken against Boston is he one
of the most underrated players in the hits seventy three points in the regular season.
It was his it was it was his career best six goals in eight
playoff games. John And as a player, the previous regime in Vancouver was
trying to get for a while too, so especially when he was in Buffalo.
So he's having one hell of a playoff. Brandon montour Man, oh
Man All defenseman by long shot. So two openers tonight in round two,
the All Red and Black series, and you know that bothers me. Somebody
cares about uniforms too much, too much. Get Away from a Devil's at
Carolina tonight, Oilers at Vegas. I think that's the series most people are
looking forward. Yes didn't have that poll question yesterday. It's all a blur.
It was all so much going on in this head that I can't keep
trap. But that was our poll question yesterday. I think most people are
interested in the Oilers in Vegas. I think a lot of people feel that
one of those two teams are the favorites to win the Stanley Cup. Maybe
maybe the Leafs. So they lost last night. I think Vegas, the
city has had the Leafs as the favorite. There's our poll from yesterday.
Yeah, it's forty four percent. Oilers, Golden Nights, no surprise,
No Panthers only right behind them. But it brings together in a playoff series
the two top draft picks from twenty fifteen, which is a fabulous draft class
up there with un three is one of the best of all time, and
it's and it's early relatively speaking. Yeah, but Connor McDavid versus Jack Eichel,
would you take Jack Eichel? Would you still take Jack Eichel? Not
second overall? Oh? Oh you being second? Yeah, I think you
would. You told me off the air that you've been doing doing a lot
of thinking, and you said to me that, no question, you would
take Connor McDavid still, oh, boy said but Donnie, look at the
two fifteen draft. Look after Eichel, there's I would take Marner ahead of
him. Well, okay, let me throw some numbers out here. Yeah,
Iichael, And there have been injuries, which is part of it,
you know, Kenny, Kenny stay healthy and of course he wasn't all that
happy in Buffalo, but he's fifth amongst the twenty fifth Dean Draft picks.
In points Marner's ahead of him obviously, McDavid, Marner, Ranton in um
Sebastian Aho is ahead of him. I think, uh yeah, I think
I've got that right. And then also in that draft, so it's yeah,
sorry, so McDavid, Marner, Ranton and Aho ahead of him.
He's fifth. Rupey Hints was also in that draft. That's the best first
round in the NHL draft. Well, Hints wasn't in the first round.
He wasn't in the first but that two fifteen that's where brock Besser went,
and that's Barzel's in there. Barzel's and they're Thomas Shabad, who's unreal is
in there. Yeah, Kyle Connor's in there, Eric Sinak, who's been
a very good player. I mean, it's such a loaded first round they
there, there's so much Yeah, that's right. Uh, there's so much
with that twenty fifteen draft. And the thing for me that you know,
sticks out almost as much as McDavid and Michael being taken one two. Boston
kind of blew it all. They blew there three in the first round and
the only one that's made any uh you know, and any sort of punch
in the National Hockey League impact in the National Hockey League is Debrusk the other
two. They passed on Burzel, they didn't pick Shabbat. They could have
had brock Best or it would have been a great pick for them. There
unbelievable. Best ER's tenth all time or tenth all time, but tenth.
I think maybe people would find this surprising. And when it comes to that
twenty fifteen draft, rock best or tenth on that list night if they redid
it. Ninth goals, No, he has the tenth most most points amongst
all those twenty fifteen draft picks. So Chael versus mcdavids, Vegas and the
Oilers tonight down there in Vegas, there should be a whole lot of fun.
It was fun again last night. That that again, we'll deal with
it later. But that crack in Dallas game was tremendous. And I've said
this before in the show. I really like watching games in Dallas. That
crowd is really into it. The camera angles there, it's very opinion are
fabulous, and they stand, they stand and start. You can't see all
the ice, but it kind of brings you in, it draws you,
and I really enjoy agree. Here's what's coming up on the show a DTMZ
is it just me? We want to talk about the CFL draft as well,
so we'll do that later. BC Lions picked up seven players. Vanny
Sartini is going to join us from the Vancouver Whitecaps. They are unbeaten in
their last seven MLS matches now five of those ended up in draws, but
and in beaten streaks, an unbeaten streak. They host Minnesota on Saturday.
We love having Vannie on the show. He's going to join us just after
eleven o'clock. Big Ride, The t Quitter Guy coming up later this hour
and up next from Sakara Surprice to talk about the Connucks and yeah, I
know he wanted us to talk about the Vancouver Cannucks and the Abbotsford connuckstion.
Jeff used to work in cam Loops. O. Cam Loops wins last night
beats the Seattle Thunderbirds four one, so that series is at two one now
in favor of the t Birds. And like I said, Jeff used to
work there, so I think he'll have some thoughts on that. Jeff is
next from Sacaris and Price. It's Donny and to only the team on check
on the end, like the team is supported by Abel Auctions dot c A.
Closing your business where you can. Helm Wednesday, Oliver our guest today,
brought to you by Able Auctions, Able Auctions dot c A. We
talked yesterday a lot during GTMZ about Gordon Lightfoot. I just want to say
hats off to Hockey and Canters dated a whole lot about the late great Gordon
Lightfoot during yesterday's broadcasts. Gordon and Chris leaving us earlier this week, Jeff
Pattison joins us now from Sacaris and Price, The Rink Why podcast and The
Hockey News. Jeff, thanks so much for doing this. How are you,
sir? I hear you're headed out to Abbitts for tonight. I am.
I'm gonna leave right after the broadcast here. Hopefully I get there by
the drop of the pot. Yeah, looking forward to it. It might
be the final night of professional hockey in this province for a while, so
we'll see what happens. Abby. Canucks have been closed in both of their
games. You were talking about specialty teams. Those have been a massive issue.
And Yeah, the Nil's whole letter thing is fascinating to me. I
mean, it's so good in that opening round against Bakersfield and four separate stick
fouls in Game two and in the penalty box for the overtime winner the other
night. So yeah, he's got sta out of the box discipline obviously against
the best team in the American Hockey League. And I'm really curious with Jeremy
Carlton's going to do in goal. He's been rotating Spencer Martin and Arthur Sillovs
if it was up to me, and Jeremy hasn't consulted me on this,
but I'll give him some free advice on Donny and Dolly. Arthur Sillovs with
the Team MVP, I think in the big picture for Sillovs and the organization,
playing in elimination games probably matters more for the development of Arthur Sillovs and
it does Spencer Martin. So I would ride the Team MVP from this point
forward. If he gets a win tonight, then do it again on Friday
and see where it goes from there. But I mean, it doesn't seem
like there's much to pick between the two goaltenders. They both can perform at
the American Hockey League level. But if you leave your MVP on the bench.
It's going to take me back to that two thousand and four Gray Cup
when Whalley went with over Casey Printers. Yeah, yeah, I remember it
well. We're hearing from our sources e. Chris Faber that it will be
Spencer Martin tonight. Jeff. Interesting and I think a lot of people are
given what happened in Vancouver, We're a little surprised to see Spencer plays so
well so far in these playoffs, So it looks like it's going to be
him. Elias Petterson not a finalist for the Selkie. Can you understand why?
Jeff, Yeah, one hundred percent. And I saw a lot of
chatter on social vote of being a snub and Connucks Twitter is Conducks Twitter and
takes a lot of things personally. Look if Elias Petterson and we won't know
the final votes until the awards show the week of the draft, my hunters
that Elias Petterson is going to get some votes. If Elias Petterson is on
the radar, let's say he finishes somewhere between five and ten in the voting.
He's one of the top ten defensive players in the National Hockey League.
That's something to builbond for a twenty four year old who's only getting better.
But is he one of the three best defensive players in the NHL right now?
I would say no to that. Patrice Bergeron the Perennial finalists again.
If he wins this year's twelfth nomination, this would be a sixth win,
and it kind of feels like he's gonna, you know, it'll be a
Lifetime Achievement Awards sort of. If he announces his requirement between now and the
awards, then it'll be sort of, you know. Again, the career
body of work speaks for itself, but even at this stage of his career,
Bergeron's winning sixty one percent of his faceoff He was on the ice for
eighteen five on five bold against all season. Think about that, playing against
the best players around the National Hockey League. Miko Heisher, who was the
first overall picked in Peterson's draft class so certainly one of his peers, set
records for the New Jersey Devil's this year in faceoffs taken and faceoffs one and
was a huge part of their penalty kill. And Mitch Martyr led the National
Hockey League in takeaways and you guys talked about him earlier that you know he's
a winger, not the conventional sulky finalist perhaps, but one hundred and seven
takeaways one of fully, I think it's seven guys, since they to tracking
takeaways as a statistic to reach that hundred takeaway mark. So you know he's
a thief out there on the ice, doing it a little bit differently.
And the common thread for all three of those guys the Bruins had the best
penalty kill in the NHL, the Devil's had the third best penalty kill,
and Toronto was fourth, and so Pederson, you know, he showed that
he could bring an element of a power kill to the Cadocks. But he's
guilty by association because they had the worst penalty kill, they didn't make the
playoffs, and so again there's no shame. This is no snub. He's
trending in that direction. He does so many good things. But another point
that you mentioned on where you know you sort of say you have to see
him in Courson to see some of the things away from the pot. Well,
look, this is an award that's voted on by the Professional Hockey Writers
Association. Fewer media members than ever are traveling these days to see these players
home and away, and I would say with new media, the voters are
younger than they've ever been before, and that probably lends itself to more stats
driven analysis when it comes to these players. And so Elias Pederson had better
than fifty percent in individual metrics of possession you know, COURSI and shots four
and goals and all the expected goals. Like his metrics are terrific. But
he's not one of the top three this year. So no snob, but
certainly in years to come, I could see him working himself into the conversation
Jeff down the high Highway. I can't. I can tell you it's fun
watching Seattle. Boy, you know, they're missing their top two guys,
mccannon, Barrokowski dropped four goals last night, eleven shots first period. This
is a fun team to watch and I you know, I the best thing
in the world would have been for Pavelski to score overtime last night. But
they're Seattle again. Another victory and they just keep rolling right along. Yeah,
they are relentless. The speed and I don't know, in the first
period, cracking, we're killing a penalty and Brandon Tannev put the afterburners on
and beat Miro High School and it's one of the great theaters in the National
Hockey League in Tanna. With a zoop just right past them created a great
scoring chance, and so it is incredible. I mean, those guys are
dog on bone in every facet of the game, whether it's defensively, uh
in on the four check, turning pucks over. You saw what happened obviously
on the game winner, Jake got injured. Per halfs would like another chance
it punching that puck sort of back out into the slot area, but hey
bounced around and you know, pinballed its way into the net. Whatever the
case. You know, these guys in the road record they did it in
Colorado in the first round, and now they've got a win and a leg
up. Yeah, They've been fun to watch it, and you know,
people keep thinking that somehow this is a you know, a mirage and it's
gonna just vanish all of a sudden. I think there is some sting power.
I'm not saying that the Crackers are gonna do what Vegas did in its
first season, but they've got one round under their belt and off to a
good start here in round number two, Pavelski is thirty eight years old.
Don had the good tweet last night about j T. Miller. He's going
to be thirty eight some day and it could be still playing for the Vancouver
Canucks. Set. By the way, at thirty eight, there's eighteen players
in the NHL this year that we're thirty seven years or older. So Pavelski
doing what he did last night with Jeff was so at his age. It
was so fun to watch. Yeah, and certainly the part of the storyline
about him coming back from injury and making the work that he did, And
wouldn't that have been something if he had capped it with the winner and a
fifth goal all five goals for the Stars. So it was an incredible night,
but not a storybook night ultimately for Joe Pavelski and his hockey club.
But guys, it's not just Joe Pavelski. Like you look. Ricky mentioned
the fact that there are some you know, graveyards in the National Hockey League.
Sidney Crosby in the nineties this year for points. Yeah, his teammate
of game Hulk and not far behind Flowed Guru had an incredible season in Ottawa.
NJE Copetar did great things down to Los Angeles Pavelski. Of course,
alexo Vetchkin is Alexovetchkin, and now we're talking about some legends of the game
there. I get that, But all of the players that I just mentioned
are over thirty five, and they all had seventy or more points to this
season. So it can be done. And I think a lot of people
would have said when Miller signed that contract, if you could have a fifty
point JT. Miller for the last couple of seasons, you know you would
take that if you knew that he could be that productive to that level.
We'll see how it all plays out, but I do think that these guys
are in better shape than ever and they keep themselves in better shape. And
JT. Miller certainly is a guy that looks like he treats this seriously.
And you know, the new deal kicks in. Let's see how it goes
in the early part. But I mean, there is potential. I suppose
nobody's got a crystal ball, but there's a chance at J. Miller.
I'm not saying that he's gonna be a seventy plus point guy at the back
end of the contract, but just the way that he plays and as productive
as he's been as a Vancouver caduct, I think it's possible that he could
give you fifty to sixty points towards the back end of this deal. Jeff
Rick wanted me to remind you that you're hit with US is next to Wednesday,
so we expect you to come up with some sort of formula as to
where Connor Badard is going to fit in the Cannucks lineup after they win the
lottery? Is it torture at this point for Connect fans to watch the draft
lottery? Don't you think most Connect fans are just resigned to the fact that
the lottery asolutely not gonna so, so I don't sense torture in this fan
base. I think there's some degree of resignation and people have set the bar
so low that you know it would be an incredible surprise, obviously. And
yeah, number one with Connor Badard, and I think we all just watched
what Macklin Cellabrini did and said over the U eighteen, so we're gonna go
through this again next year perhaps. But the thing about this draft class,
guys, is, I mean, Badar gets all the focus, and understandably
so, but you know, talking to people that watch the prospects a lot
closer than I do, like whether it's Fantility, whether it's Leo Carlson,
Like, these guys would be top picks first overall in a lot of draft
years. So you know, even if you don't win the draft lottery,
but you have the second pick or the third pick like those teams, I
think are gonna be pretty happy as well because they're going to land game breakers
and game changers. But yeah, I mean, we could be in for
a sizement shift here on the West Coast if the lottery balls fall the way
that they're expected to. Anaheim adding Connor Bdard through an incredible pipeline that they've
already got there in place, and then you know, team like Sad Jose
obviously I could use an injection of a player like Connor Badard. So let's
see if he's setting up shop in the NHL on the West Coast when those
lottery vall fall. Lottery balls fall on Monday night, three percent chance of
landing Connor Bdard ninety seven percent chance if my math is correct, of not
landing Connorbinard. Keep that in mind, Jeff, thanks for this. We'll
talk to you next week. All right, guys, thank you Jeff Patterson
foreshadowing there of our poll question. We'll bet ninety nine dot poll question.

Oh boy does it ever? At our bet ninety nine dot net pull question.
Joe Pavelski's thirty eight Vancouver fans, any chance that makes you feel any
better about JT. Miller's contract? Sixty six percent say no, it doesn't
make us feel any better. Um, you have the stat about players over
thirty five, thirty seven thirty eighteen players over the age of thirty seven in
the NHLUM, I want to say this to you, don Ryan Suter last
night is thirty eight twenty seven minutes on the blue line for Dallas. Corey
Perry's thirty seven seventy eight playoff games in the last four years. Zach prez
A thirty eight twenty one goals, Giordanold thirty nine, Doney maple leafs.
He's in the lineup every day. He's not being healthy. Scratch. Look
are they the exception or their rule? Well, I'm telling you eighteen players
is pretty good. Thirty there's a lot of players who are that age who
aren't producing all that while or retired. There's true, that's true. But
I'm I want to say, with nutrition and eating and specialized coaching, these
guys are prolonging their's careers. But they have to do it right. They
have to eat right. Uh No Krispy Kreme stuff in in the summer twelve
months of the year. UM. Joe Pavelski gets the four goals last night,
which is a great story in of itself. They did. They did
lose the game, though, but he's coming off the injury two weeks previous.
In the Minnesota series, he gets knocked out and literally and he comes
back that way, gets four goals. He all scored it in overtime as
well. But it wasn't just about last night with Joe Pavelski and he turned
thirty nine, well just round the corner in July, but his last two
seasons eighty one and seventy seven points. The point is, and I tweeted
it out last night as well, you know, the point is that you
know, offensive production quality, offensive production. It could be done in today's
National Hockey League, even at a so called advanced age. So I just
thought maybe that would make knock fans buying large, who buying large weren't thrilled
with the JT. Millers contract. Maybe it makes him feel better because that
was the knock, you know, like, what's he going to be doing?
And he had a decent season this year offensively, not ninety nine points
but in the eighty two, which is fine. Maybe makes him feel better
what he can do in in the future. All JT. Miller's ever done
in the city since the day he arrived on his produce. I think he's
over a point per game in the four years. He's been phenomenal that way.
And let's wait a couple of years before we start predicting what he's going
to be at thirty five, thirty six, thirty seven. I think this
guy's got a lot left in the tank. He's a beast. Talket loves
him, and I you know what, let's take it a year by year
with JT. I think he just said something there that's the key, and
that's Rick Talkett loves him well. And I also think that he goes the
other way. I think that's the more important thing that I think. I
think JT. Miller this is nothing against Boudreau or Travis Green. I think
he has a whole lot of respect for Rick Talkett. He has talked a
lot about how Rick Talkett can understand the type of player he is because it's
similar to the way that he plays. Yeah, JT. Miller isn't dropping
the gloves like Rick Tockett. He used a different era, but you get
the feeling that he really likes playing for him, and you know, Rick
Rick Towkett clearly somebody who likes JT. Miller because we all remember at the
art of Rick Hawkett's tenure and with Vancouver he made a point of saying,
I'm not going to overplay my stars. That's right. What happens he takes
a look at JT. Miller playing and ends up arguably overplaying twenty plus every
night. And all these guys on Twitter that are predicting JT. Miller's going
to go to the Rangers going to go to Boston. Every team that drops
out now is going JT. Miller's going there, apparently on conducts Twitter.
Let me ask you something. They're top two centers, Johnny, they're looking
for a third line center. You know why they're looking for as the third
line center. The depth up the middle took a hit when Orvette left.
If you're gonna trade JT. Miller, you have to get back and absolutely
phenomenal, top sixth center. You think those guys grow on trees? Do
you think the other teams J T. Millers don't even supposed to be a
center? Yeah? Right, and so's And there's another big reason to keep
JT. Miller. When Peterson needed one hundred points, what did Taka do?
He moved Miller to the wing. These guys don't grow on trees,
And what are you expecting to get in return for Miller just out of curiosity?
You better get a top six center back from Miller or else you get
you're screwed up the middle again. Well, and that talk about Miller going
to Boston almost started immediately after two seconds. Ye Cannucks Twitter, Okay,
Miller to Boston. Boston has got no draft picks left. They got no
draft picks. That's you know, well, as as somebody's followed the Canucks
for a long time, that's what I would expect in return. You mentioned
a top sixth center, but uh no, the young center. They've got
nothing there. He's got nothing, nothing on the farm. That's just there's
the other problem the Canucks at Donnie, they got no young kid on the
farm ready to challenge for a center spot. So the depth in the organization
is not going to allow them to make a Miller trade. But it's everyone's
got him going to every city in the NHL Miller. So we're talking so
much about Joe Pavelski, we forget that. The cracking story is incredible.
You know. I think one of the reasons we're not talking a lot about
it is because of what happened with that was that was the incredible expansion story.
You know, twenty eighteen, you make a Stanley Cup final in your
first year of existence. This is this is peanuts compared to that. But
the Kracking with their speed and uh balanced like their balanced drug, their four
line. They also I thought the big stat from last night other than the
final score and that was a lucky goal. But bottom line, they did
they did score. I'll get back to that in a second. But the
Cracking out hit the Stars forty seven nineteen. Oh, you don't think of
them this overly aggressive team, but that that's stat's really significant gored for you
know, first of all, outen your punched the puck back out into the
fray. Maybe he Jeff mentioned he'd like to have that one back. Gordon
was passing the puck back to the point. That's what he was doing.
Hits the shin pat and the back on a stick and into the net it
goes. So there was a real goal element of luck there. But they're
up one nothing and who knows what could happen with the Cracking you have,
Like honestly, you could sit and say Ambon is gonna win the cup,
Leaf's gonna win the Cup. Anybody do you really know? Nobody, it's
guesswork. It's guesswork. There's injuries to happen yet, there's injuries we don't
know about. Possible injuries coming up to any team in the next week or
so. It's hard to predict right now, Donnie, okay, um,
let's do this. Uh. Speaking of Rick Talckett, he was what's the
name of this? Why we have talked to you yet? Ryan? How
are you? By the way, Missing Curfew? He was on Missing Curfew?
That's with an apostrophe Missing Curfew podcast. They managed to get Rick Talkett.
Does anybody here have any idea what it's like to have a Canack guest?
We don't know. Kannaka is a guest that we know. No,
we're on the bleep list. We've asked for Rick Talket for months and months.
We don't get them. It's just it's pretty bad. We criticize the
power play one day. It's probably my fault to talk about the seats.
Well, they probably are you more than anyone else, Ryan, But what
they got I don't think. We've asked for Canuck's guests for weeks and weeks
and weeks on end, and it's just embarrassingly like just toss our Well,
we don't want to whine, We don't want to whine, but why not
gone? Why not be honest? It's it's pretty bad. Yeah, we'll
just continue promoting their product day after day after after day. It's just they
we request something, they just toss it in the garbage and off they go.
Beautiful, beautiful way to conduct business. We're not rights holders and that's
maybe the way he thinks these days. But it's can you get check to
get the right first one? But Missing Curfew got him? Yeah? Oh
yeah, miss Curfew? How long has that podcast? Beauty? Are they
Vancouver based? What are they based? Shane O'Brien is channel Brian is the
main host, good guy. I don't know if he's the main host or
not. They have like seven hosts. Yeah, they're one of these podcasts
that have fifteen hosts. Yeah right, it's him in Scotty Upshell. Okay,
well too then yeah close, No, but I think there are others
involved in it. But yeah, they're two main characters. So Rick talk
it and yesterday I want to say this that, um, yesterday we had
was it? Yesterday? We had Bruce on Monday Bruce spoodro was Monday,
Yeah, Monday, Okay. We had him on and there were some issues
with his camera. It was an extreme close up and I don't know what
it is with kind of coaches, ex coaches, current coach, coach.
This was not much better. There's a lighting issue here, but you get
the idea. You can hear what he's saying. Here's Rick Cockett from it
earlier this week. I'm really up on this thing. Yeah, you know,
it was Monday, Monday, Monday. Was it Monday, which would
be earlier this week? Yeah, yeah, that's right. Single. This
is Rick Tockett. We got this, Derek. This would be the Quinn
Hughes clipp This is Rick Tockett on the possibility of Quinn Hughes being named Canucks
captain. I don't know what I'm gonna do yet. We're not we're not
in a huge rush. But if you if, if if I can tell
you and I'm only here, like I said, been there four months from
day one to day you know, the fourth day and the like what was
that one hundred and twenty days later, Huggy has really kind of made that
that tra directory to be a captain, like he's he's done some things that
are uncomfortable. Like he said, some things that are uncomfortable you have to
do, to say to teammates, order a coach, or to put your
balls on the line. That's what captain's do. It's not just about organizing
a team party. It's about putting your teammates first and also being able to
go into a coach officers, hey, man, talk, you got to
back off and practice. I got this, well, I guarantee you the
next game we'll be ready to play. So I love that about him.
There you go. I think it is mostly about organizing the team party,
but there are other things that come into consideration. I think the big hint
with Queen Hughes was him talking, grabbing the microphone, talking to the fans.
Yeah, final home game of the regular season. I think that final
home game of the season period. I think that was the indication that that's
the direction that connects are leaning. More so than Elias Patterson, I think
it's gonna be maybe even JT. Miller. I think it's gonna be Quinn.
Think Miller's candidate as captain will be Quinn Hughes. There. I think
that's the way it's leaning for sure, Okay, for sure, So we
got to kind of clip on and we thank Rick for that. Speaking of
ricks, you've got some business to do, all right, all. Arnold

a first. The referees for the Lease Pathers game both from Richmond, Kelly
Sutherland and Trevor Hanson. Good work by both Richmond Minor Hockey uh PRIBB.
Good work by both RMHA alumni Richmond Minor hockeyst Richmond Minor try steyan Yeah,
among others. Okay, there's a controversy guarding the Oilers Vegas Golden Knights series
that has people in a bit of a tiff. They're angry. Games one
and two of the Golden Knights series. We're announced to take place tonight for
Game one, Game two on Friday, Yesterday, after much time had passed,
the NHL finally released the entire schedule for the second round and there was
a change. Game two in Vegas pushed to Saturday. So this is Daniel
Nuja Bowman from the Athletic in Edmonton. You'll notice Game two, originally scheduled
for Friday, has been moved to Saturday. This is a colossal screw up
in the NHL. Many oil fans have already traveled to Vegas. That made
plans for a Friday game to change now is amateurish. And on top of
this, there's been no explanation as to why there's a move. It's not
building availability, no problem there. I don't even think it's TV because well
I'll get to that in a second. There's a lot of over the TV.
But ESPN is the basketball and Friday Night, not T and T,
and this game was supposed to be on T ANDT, so it can't be
that. So I don't know why this occurred, but I could understand why
a lot of people are angry, and a lot of people were a lot
of people were saying, you know, did Dan oh they got to stay
another day in Vegas? Well, hold on a second, that can cost
people a lot of money to change flights, another night in a hotel,
more spending money. All that, I understand, Vegas is a nice place
to be in terms of travel too, but there are certain expenses l catering
to the road fans of the home fans. Well, there's people. There's
people. When the Nights tweeted this out, there's people in Vegas tweeting going,
hey, I planned, like, I cleared my schedule for Friday night.
What's going on? So people weren't exactly thrilled in Vegas either that this
occurred, but there was a lot of people critical because the NHL took a
long time to put out their schedule. It was moments before the first games
last night. And this is your job, Johnny. The Toronto Maple Leafs
are not playing on a Saturday night and round, which is strange. I'll
give you that. So your entire sports and that paid eight billion or whatever
the hell they shade history. They pay all that money to the NHL and
all year long, Hockey Night in Canada is Saturday night in this country and
the biggest team in this country. Now the league goes mah, who cares,
We don't care. About that the biggest team in this country. It
is, it is. It's gross for me to say it, but it
is. Let's be honest, it is. You're becoming a least fan.
Yeah, what are they successful? Now? You're gonna wear a hat tomorrow.
I'm being truthful and honest here. But the bottom line is TNT and
ESPN didn't want that, and so as usual the NHL, well, what
do you need? Well, anything you want, no problem. There's Canadian
fans who cares. Screw them, it doesn't matter. Well, that's part
it's part of it. There, there's no question the NHL knows. Gary
Bettman knows it could be played midnight on a Tuesday and up here we're gonna
watch exactly right, and the game could be a yellow Knife Yeah, and
you know, and people show up and then and they'll watch. Don't know
that and they're there, are there, they and they take advantage of it
and they've ran into and don't get me wrong, I know it's not easy
because all these buildings are multi use buildings. Shania twains in Edmonton for two
nights, so that's become a problem. They've actually had to cancel another concert
in Edmonton disturbed. As in Edmonton, they've already had to move that because
of to get this Oiler's gaming, they gets disturbed, not for Roger's place.
Apparently climate pledges a ton of events, so they've been dancing around that.
And we saw what happened in the NBA. Janet Jackson's concert in Atlanta
got pushed. Yeah because of the Hawks. Yeah, because the Hawks were
able to force I think there was a game six. Yeah, anyway,
it gets the Celtics, so that happened. Look, you should text Kelly
mcremmon, a friend of the show, find out what the hell happened.
Yeah, I am very cures. Maybe you should. Anyways, you should
text Kelly mccremmon a lasker. I'm curious. Hey, you know right,
I am curious, and I do feel bad are the Oilers fans that would
have traveled again. It's a destination place and now all of a sudden,
the NHL just goes, oh no, we're just going to change it for
another night. Really, and there's nothing for Oiler fans. Wow. Well,
because you know what's really cheap, Brian, is a plane ticket of
Vegas. It's not cheese to change a plane ticket if you if you fly
out of Bellingham. Yeah, I'm talking about us. I'm not. I
don't know what it is from Edmonton, but it's relatively very cheap to go
fly out of Bellingham. But the change of plans, what if, like,
you know, there's the hotel to change a vacation. Can you have
an Oiler shirt on underneath Superman? I'm just the uproar would be the same
here. If this was involving the Vancouver Conox, it would also be a
problem. Only one gate a game on Friday night in the NHL with the
second round schedule, and that's the Devil's game, and by the way,
and like and now, after ripping into the the television coverage and all of
that, there's this. Uh. This is from the NHL yesterday, Round
one of the twenty twenty three Stanley Cup Playoffs, the most watched first round
of all time across North America. So what Taylor said, They could have
the game in the middle of the night, it would have no problem at
all. More than ten million viewers across North America watched the Sunday game sevens
Florida and Boston and then Seattle and Colorado, and the list goes on to
other things. So the amount of respect the sound like up playoffs get from
people who aren't necessarily hockey fans, or least you don't think they are,
it's pretty eye opening. Yeah. Multiple times Charles Barkley has been on T
and T and said he's not watching the game, he's paying more attention to
the hockey. I mean he's a huge hockey fan. He's made it very
good. Yeah, Nasty sees buddies with the head coach of the Rick Well,
he's also buddies with the head coach in Tampa to John Cooper, John
Cooper. Yeah, yeah, but Rick and him played in Philadelphia around the
same time. Yeah. In fact, Rick Talker will be on Charles Barkley's
podcast next week. That's a joke because the missing curfew. Wow, shot
a little shot anyway, I think we're done for shots at them for the
day coming up next. White Caps manage might have been the lowest. Ye,
it's all about the audience. I heard Nina laughed over there. Vanny
Sartini, white Caps manager. He's gonna join you guys next. The Caps
are hot when it comes to being unbeaten. That is seven ye seven games
in a row. Yeah, there's also an interesting quote from Girard Gallant.
We'll get to maybe later in this second hour that just came out. The
Rangers are cleaning up their lockers right now and Gerard Gallant not happy to be
asked about his future in New York. We'll talk about that more in the
second hour. Donny Dolly, the team out check Wednesday, and all of
our guests today, I brought you by our title sponsor Able Auctions, Able
Auctions dot c A Vancouver white Caps. They're unbeaten and seven Major League Soccer
matches. They host Minnesota on Saturday. They tied Minnesota in Minnesota one one
back on March twenty fifth, and here to talk about all that. The
head coach of the white Caps, a regular on our show, Vanni Sartini.
Vanni, thanks for doing this, sir. How are you very good?
Guys? How are you very very well? Unbeaten in seven MLS matches?
Vanni? What do you like about the way your team is playing right
now? A lot of teams, I would say the two main things are
the quality of our game. So we are in every game that we played
of this unbeaten streak, we've been the team that played more than the oppositions
shot more to gold than the opposition. We tried to be always i would
say, on the front foot, keeping possession going forward, but also our
solidity, that our tactical shape, our tactical solidity defensively when we lost the
ball, we rarely consider chances to to the opponent's team. We didn't concede
goal in the last four games. So yeah, those are the two things
I want to anticipate. You what I'd like to see more. I'd like
to see my team scored more goals. Yeah. But but but it's not
just that value, it's the whole the whole league. Goal scoring is down.
What do you have to do to put the ball on it more?
And maybe explain why this is a trend in MLS. I think I think
it's a very good point. I think the trend in MLS it's because,
I would say, the level of quality intents of the quality of the game,
the attention then the coaches puts on the detail went on the roof in
MLS. If we compare with I came to North American in twenty sixteen,
in seven years, it's like, literally there's no there's no comparison on how
the teams are much more organized now than it was before, and and the
quality of the of the game as going up and up and up. So
at the same time, you need to find solution and you need to find
more chances for your players to be closer to the goal and trying to score.
Trying to score goals. I think we are actually doing. I think
the numbers are saying to us that we had the team who create we're creating
more chances in the in the league. And does the stats it's called the
expected goals. It means that it gives you a percentage of goals on every
shot that you take, and we are the highest and the expected goals in
the league, so it means that we are arriving there. It's uh,
it's it's a matter of being i would say more clinical on the box and
sometimes even to do the right it passes when when we are we are close
to the close to the goal, because sometimes we maybe there's an option that
is even better and we choose the wrong option. So that's one of the
things that we're working on this week in training. Vanny seven goals against the
nine games, that is second best in all of Major League Soccer. Four
straight shout outs. You gotta be happy with those numbers. Yes, yes,
I am. And of course I'm happy with our defensive game. That
is not meaning that I'm just happy with my defense line. Like in soccer,
when you defend, eleven players are defending, and the way that you
defend is totally related to the way to you attack. And of course if
our back line and our goalkeeper they have to face Like I don't know,
I always say ten situations instead of thirty situation a game. It's easier for
them to make a good performance. But those are numbers that make me very
happy because if we keep continue this, if we keep if we keep maintaining
our average gold conceded less than one goal per games, for sure we und
the play off at the end of the year. Vanny. In some sports
they say it ties like kissing your sister. You got five ties second in
the Major League soccer, even a couple of wins out of those ties,
and you're higher up in the rankings. Um, you want to get rid
of some of those ties and turn them into wins. Yeah. Yeah.
First of all, I'm an only child, so I don't know what kisses.
College football, they say a tie is like kissing your sister. I
know, I know, I know, I know, I know. Yeah,
yeah, I would have loved especially I don't mind, to be honest,
the ties that we did the way, the three ties that we did
in in Minnesota, Austin, and LA. Because it's really really hard to
win away in the league, and every points that you do away it's I
would say it's a gain point. I'm a little bit frustrated for especially the
last one in Colorado because against Dallas at home, it was an open game.
Dallas is a very good team. You can tie with them. The
last one against Colorado we definitely should have won. We were the best team
in the in the on the field, and I think we had to transform
those ties in wins when we had clearly the best team and trying to win
twin more games. Then we talk about scoring more goals before we let you
go. Have you seen much of Levante Johnson who has been popping in goals
left and right for WFC two this season and episode? Do you think he
can help? Yeah? I saw well. Actually, Levante came with us
in preseason, so we spent all the preseason with us because we believe a
lot in him. We offered him a contract with the second team and we
hope that he's gonna do the same path that Hally Ahmed and Simon Bacher they
did last year and coming to the first team. He's doing very well.
I'm gonna give you a scoop or next week. We love scoops. Next
week we're gonna play in the Canadian Championship in York and it will be the
first time that Levante will be part of the the team of the first team.
I don't know if it will start. No, I don't know if
you play or no, but it will be with us next Wednesday in New
York to play the Canadian Championship. Guys, does know that Vannier or Scoop
actually doesn't? You are guys? You are the first Oh my godness?
Yeah wow. Are we gonna have to start paying you? No, no,
guys, I'm I I'm all in for the circulation of good news.
So that's the very nice Hey Vannie for summer. It sounds like your team
hasn't played its best yet. Have I got that right? Yeah? Well,
I would say that we're playing a very good brand of soccer. We
need to just have the I would say to go to the next level and
capitalize the chances. When we'll do it, I think we're gonna really really
start to I would say, have fun. I invite a lot of people
to count to busy plays and see our games because we're really really close.
I think that this is here. This is the year where we can make
something special here. Thanks for this, Thanks for the scoop. Vannie checks
in the mail check ate it. Thank you, Thank you, Bet,
Vanni Sartini. It's fun to talk to you, coach of the White Camps.
We mentioned there are goal scoring issues, and again this is a trend
all around a major league soccer Eleven goals in nine matches so far. Five
of those goals game in one game that was the five Neil victory. That's
right against Montreal again. The White Camps host Minnesota on Saturday at PC Place.
Paul question, we'll update it. That's next. Donnie Dolly the team
much, Donny and Dolly. The team is supported by able Auctions dot c
A closing your business where you can help. I'm not too sure. Well,
you're a BC Lion. Congratulations, We're gonna take you with this pick
right now. Thank you. Appreciate it, really appreciate the world to me.
We are thrilled to get you. We were surprising you fell this far

as coming to camp, which starts quickly, so um, well, we'll
be in touch with you, all right, all right, So congrats there.
They're gonna announce it in a couple of minutes, so you can keep
it quiet till they announce it on TV. That'd be great. Awesome,
have a good one. That was yesterday CFL draft. Rick Campbell, Lion's
head coach, co general manager, talking with France Is Bemmy the Lions first
pick. He was picking a ninth overall defensive lineman Southern Utah for Montreal.
I grew up an Alouettes fan. I think I'll be able to make that
move to caring about the Orange and Black. So they ended up picking seven
players, six on defense, six on defense, and they do expect Bemmy
a camp next week, you know, barring an NFL contract, but he
is expected to fight for a spot on this team. Donny three defensive backs,
two linebackers, one d lineman and one offensive lineman. Is what the
lines took in the CFL draft yesterday. Took a lot of offensive guys.
Last year. They went this way to help with special teams. Special teams
was a big problem for the lines this year. So they want to address
this year year. And we should mention that picked first overall offensive lineman out
of Fresno State. He's an offensive lineman. Is this like the best name
ever? Dante Bull? And one of the reasons we well, the reasons
we bring this up is because we want to keep our jobs. He's from
Victoria, Victoria Native where Check is located. Check. Congratulations to boss,
friends and family, and to Dante himself. Dante Bull picked first overall by
the Red Blacks. Was he allowed to play any position? Any other positions?
No? No, it was a rule, like honest, Bull,
your offense, you could be a defensive lineman. Yeah, but like I
just don't, you know, punter, I don't really. Unfortunately, sorry,
Dante, You're not allowed to play. You're not allowed to be a
punt back. In the day, guys played a lot of positions. Not
anymore. Yeah, but Bull. This has to do with the name though
I know, I get it. Yeah, back on the leather helmets days,
we understand that guys played on both sides of the ball. It was
the back in the old days. Yeah, leather helmets though, face cards,
yeah right right, the leather helmet like, well, it's all they
had back It's innovation. That's how things start running. I guess. Yeah.
You know what's unbelievable is that. And I didn't play football as a
kid. Did you know, Ryan, you didn't play anything? Yes,
I did soccer, been over this intramural No, no, no, sorry,
okay, okay, I know he did. Okay, I played on
a soccer team, yes you seven eight nine, Okay, I didn't play
football. So like one of my kids, we go to the Lions and
it's a great, great event where they sell off their equipment. Yeah right,
usually just before Christmas after their season is and I end up getting a
helmet for the thing is like five hundred pounds. Oh they are, I
know. I don't know how they do it versus the leather helmet, which
I'm guessing was in five hundred pounds. Quite amazing. You can want not
just we walk around, it'd be enough to just walk around flying down a
football field hitting people their weapons, Donny, Donny's right. I was at
a Lions practice and one of the guys to a helmet on me. Heavy
vision is covered. Hold on a second, Why would I asked? I
was at a practice, I asked the guy. I said, let me
try helmet on. So I tried the helmet on the mid practice, not
before the practice. You know how the media get together on the side.
Back in the day, we had more than five media in Vancouver for sports.
Anyways, I put it on, Donnie, and it was heavy as
hell, and and the vision, your vision is cut right off. I
don't know how these guys play football. Your vision, You're just like you
can't see anywhere. You imagine Ricky puts on the helm at the coach,
Hey you over there, get in there, yeah, or forgets to take
it off, drives home. I could. I could be a kicker.
A kicker. I could be. Have you ever kicked in football? Not
because the kickers are usually you know, skinny guys that you know, they
don't run around. You don't have to run it right, you have to,
you know, kickers, that's the job anyone could do. Donna,
did you tell Louis Pasaca that anybody could do that? Are you serious?
Are you anybody could do that job? Most people can be a kicker.
Come on, how far do you think what I'm talking about? Kickers don't
They're not want to be a kicker. Not Kickers are the number one reason
I wouldn't want to be a kicker. You don't want to miss the game
winning field goal and and walk and you mentioned you know you're the smallest guy
on the team. You walk into that locker room and you blew it thirty
five yards and super I don't want to walk into that locker Why are you
thinking of the glass half half empty thing? There was a chance to be
but I thought the pressure on a kicker versus a lot of other positions in
sport, it's enormous. Hey don't he look at the Lions kicker last year
they brought him in. He lasted what four weeks? He missed a lot
of few goals, So Bingle, it's it's a tough position. That was
so I'm talking physically physically I could pull off you know you couldn't. Yeah,
I'm not more okay, you gotta have leg string, Like how far
can you lift your leg to kick. I was. I played soccer.
I was a striker, so I know a little bit about I go out.
If I was a kicker, i'd go old school toll punch right like
like a dropkick, not not a not a soccer style kicker. Oh yeah,
okayld school head on, straight on kicker. Don't a lot of the
kickers name cutler tying up the shoe? Remember that you tie that used to
curl the uh the up of his boot up? No, sorry, I'm
not I'm not familiar. Okay. Wouldn't it make sense to wear steel toad
boots? I think it would, right, It would add a little extra,
it would be happy. The steel boot is heavy, dumb, dumb.
Those the helmet they managed the kicker. You don't want a heavy foot,
I want you nice lightfoot. But think of the extra power yet with
the steel. What about the guys like Rich Carlos comes to mind, Jason
Elam the barefoot kickers? Yes se, remember the bare foot kickers? How
do they do it? Like? Good lords? Franklin? I think I
think I've got some many like I have no idea what the philosophy was there,
especially like when you're playing like it's got a rain bay in Decemba,
it's got a hurt barefoot kicking. And yet you see she was a kickery
that well. At fact, that's where she lost her shoe. It would
flying into the stands one day. He never got it back. This from
Tyler Rick couldn't kick a fifteen yard field goal. I've kicked forty yards and
was a toad kicker. No, I disagree to kicker. I was on
BC Place on the fuel once, me and the helmet. Now Colin Metcap,
the PR guy. We did a one hundred yard dash. I beat
him. That that's not kicking. I know. I'm just telling you I
could do it. I could do it. I could pull it off.
I'm telling you right now you could kick how far you think? Yeah,
that's not getting it done. But you're saying that a pro football you could
be a kicker. Not in pro I'm just saying at the park, Ryan,
you could play offensive line, you could probably do defensive line. I'm
just saying I'd be a good kicker. That's all I'm saying. You get
choked up about this. I got a frog in my throat. You've got
a pull question to deal with. Yeah, let's take care of that frog,
and let's hear the bet ninety nine dot in at poll question. All
right here here it is the bet ninety nine dot that poll question. Joe
Pavelski's thirty eight years old vancoor fans, any chance that makes you feel better
about JT. Miller's contract? Sexty six percent say no, uh. JT's
new deal kicks in next year, and let's take it year by year before
we predict Donnie what he's gonna be like in seven years, which is impossible.
What would he be like? What it was steel toad, boots on
undeath? What would JT. Miller be a good kicker for the BC lines?
I don't know, but anyways, yeah, okay, go ahead,
Hey, look at kickers though they're thirty nine, thirty nine, forty,
that's the one position in sports. Pavelski He's gonna be thirty nine in July
and he's still playing the Stanley Cup playoffs and excelling. Yeah, he could
retire that fans should feel better about that given Pavelski's success. Yes, he
could retire from the Stars and he could be kicker for the Cowboys. I
mean the problems well, apparently it's easy. Yeah, anybody could do it.
Anybody. Have you talked to the Cowboys at all? No? I
haven't. I'm just seeing in football such a tough sport. I can't play
the hitting positions. I think I could pull it off as a kicker,
That's all I said. I'm gonna text Matt Baker, get you out to
the line already. Probably. I think I can hit thirty thirty five in
equipment? What's equipment a football riot? They still don't have anything other than
shoulder pads. They still wear pants pads making go all the way there to
make it look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yeah. Anyways, so mid practice,
you asked a guy for a who was before me? One time it was
Dan Payne. I was a Lions practice. What's the name of the park
over here? Um? Livingstone Park? Is it over across Chilling? Not
dude, Chill. I don't want to go on that route that's right behind
us. It's two feet away. Okay, Yeah, and the Lions actually
used to practice, now they used to. Dan Payne starts talking to me,
I'm I'm a reporter. And this is when Greg Mons volcanic. Greg
Mints my favorite. He had just taken over the Lions, and Dan Payne
starts talking to me like in report. We're you know, we have mutual
friends. We're tighting. The offensive lineman for the Lions used to be a
wrestler as well. Where we're talking, all of a sudden they hear this
whistle to stop. The tire. Practice stops. Report your guy, never
do that again. I look over. Dan Payne is left laughing. The
whole thing, the whole practice stop again. Reporter. Yeah, that's what
he called me. Foot tall. Mons would yell at me on the phone
all the time. You always say to me, don't let the facts get
in the way of a good story. Dollyway. This was in front of
several athletes. It was extreme. How big did you feel like? Yeah?
Maybe Greg was. Yeah, I had steal to the boots on Greg

and Chip well, and then post game he said five to one, he
said we as opposed to waving his arms and screaming. That's good. I
like that. Post game he said, we need to be prepared to always
have more killing penalties more than the opposition. Well, keep in mind who
was the head coach of the Leaves at one point. Yeah, and also
I will he gave this symbol after Ryan O'Riley got smacked. Like that was
a clear high stick. The officials originally missed it, but it was a
clear high stick, Like, I don't know, you thought this was some
sort of gang symbol at one point, I think, well, I thought
it was something for the Van Buren boys. Yeah. By the way,
so I'm looking this up that a company historian the roots of the double denim
can be traced back to nineteen fifty one, and in fact one Bing Crosby

in North America because most people wanted to witness another Leafs choke? How sweet
it would have been. It's a good point, very good point. It
might have been. You know, the other way too. A lot of
people want to see the Leafs win. But that was definitely part of it.
I would think for some people. Anyway, we got a big time.
Is it just me? Or? Should JT. Miller be traded to
the Rangers precisely because they have a young center and the fregner that we could
get. That's from Mike Roch from Burnaby. H. I'm gonna tell you

Second of all, Lefreni had zero points against the Devils, zero zero?
Can I say, can you spell zero a capital? Who's his form?
Mike? Yeah? And he's not a full time center man. He plays
mostly on the wings anyway. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Jakie Miller
