I want to get right to the poll questions. 12 00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.759 Here are the Panthers over the Hurricanes by a score of forty three. 13 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.600 The Florida Panthers are going to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 14 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.120 nineteen ninety six, when they were swept in that Cup final by Uve Croup 15 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.120 In the Colorado Avalanche, him Mark Crawford. Yeah, Mark Crawford was the 16 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:18.400 head coach group, getting the overtime winner in the game four to clinch Colorado. 17 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:25.079 It's first Stanley Cup. So Florida onto the Stanley Cup Final, which 18 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.719 has a whole lot to do with, of course, Sergei Bobrovski and Matthew 19 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.319 Kochuck. He scores their winning goal last night, his third winner of the 20 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.480 series. Second in playoffs scoring right now. He's been so effective throughout the 21 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.680 whole playoffs. People talk about him not scoring in the five games against the 22 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.799 Leaves. He did get five assists in that series, three assists in the 23 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:53.079 first game. He's been absolutely fabulous in Vancouver hockey fans, members of Canuck 24 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:59.719 Nation, we know how you feel about watching Matthew Kochuck performed so well, 25 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.400 not only in Calgary, but of course now in his first year with Florida. 26 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:07.080 That leads to our bet ninety nine dot net poll question wreck. All 27 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.840 right, let's get to it. The bet ninety nine dot net poll question, 28 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.159 who should feel worse about not having Matthew Colchuck in their lineup? This 29 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:21.000 one's close, This one's close. Fifty seven percent say the Flames, forty 30 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.879 three percent say the Canucks, and let's delve into this, Donny. In 31 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:29.520 two thousand and sixteen, folks, the Canucks took only u Levy fifth overall. 32 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.599 With the next pick, the Flames took Matthew could Chuck sixth overall. 33 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.400 And that is therein lies the problem. He could have been a Vancouver Canuck 34 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.479 and that is why we got the pull question up. I thought you were 35 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:49.000 gonna take a shide. I'm going to tell you why they didn't take Matthew 36 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.000 Colchuck, whether you like it or not. Done. The last time the 37 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:57.159 Vancouver Canucks have taken a defenseman in the first round prior to that draft, 38 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.280 only eu Levy was in two thousand and five, Luke for Dawn, eleven 39 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:05.199 straight years in this city, the Vancouver Canucks took a forward in the first 40 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.680 round. Two times they took two forwards in the first round. It has 41 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:15.319 been heavy forwards for eleven years, Johnny, eleven years before the ou Levy 42 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.360 pick. So I can see why they took Olie u Levy. What I 43 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:23.680 don't see is why they took the wrong defenseman. Mikail's Serge chev ninth overall, 44 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:30.719 Charlie McAvoy fourteenth, Jacob chickern sixteenth all three year difference makers and we 45 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:37.680 know what has happened. So if Mariel Lemieux was available at that fifth spot, 46 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.039 you don't take them because you haven't drafted defenseman for a long time. 47 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.759 They picked the wrong guy. Like you're saying, take the best player available. 48 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.960 I'm telling you they haven't taken a defenseman. And eleven years down eleven 49 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.639 years? Was it the right choice of the wrongs? Was the wrong choice? 50 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.520 Wrong choice? Anyway you chop it up like you're right, they should 51 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:03.039 have taken another defenseman. Macavoy would have looked just even brother. There's a 52 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:09.319 long list there. Um. But what I don't understand with with Matthew Kachuck 53 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.599 is I don't you love you played for for the same team London won the 54 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.360 Memorial Cup. That's Kachuck. What did he do that year? Do you 55 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.319 remember what he did at the end of the season, scored the winning goal 56 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:23.240 in overtime for the London Nights. Does that sound familiar? The guy's a 57 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.839 clutch player. He plays his best hockey. Uh, you know well, 58 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.319 and I know that people in Calgary might I disagree with that. He didn't 59 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.720 have a great playoff last year, but we're seeing what we're seeing now. 60 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:42.480 He's matured into this clutch playoff performer. I just it's just for me. 61 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.959 The team that should feel worse about not having Katchuck in the lineup is Vancouver 62 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:53.639 because at least at least Calgary, Calgary saw something with him, They had 63 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.879 him in their lineup for at least a little bit. Couch didn't have him 64 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.319 at all at all, right, at all. They value Matthew Kachuck more 65 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:04.120 than the Canucks dead and even though he left Calgary, at least they had 66 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.360 they placed some value on a player that's clearly one of the most viable players 67 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.839 in the National Hockey League. And I realized it's another regime, another era. 68 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.959 It was the Banning era, not the Rotherford Alvine era. But it's 69 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.560 it's pretty painful to watch that guy do what he's doing right now. For 70 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:26.439 members of CONNOC nation, it is and London. The answers Vancouver and London 71 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.319 was in Red Deer at the Memorial Cup. Donny Canucks had all their scouts 72 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.319 there, the whole nine yards. Mitch Marner too, was he just pushing 73 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.720 the puck up to the superstar forwards and they were doing their thing. I 74 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:41.079 don't know, it's just what you're saying, they should have taken the best 75 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.800 player available. I'm saying they should have taken the best defenseman available. The 76 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.120 screwed up. Here's one for you. A circuit Chev's camp. He got 77 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.079 an interview from the Canucks, but it was a token interview, same with 78 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.959 Kachuck says his interview did not go on. It didn't go well with it. 79 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.600 They had zeroed in on I was told they had zeroed in on you. 80 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:00.680 Levy. Brent Utter, the coach a Redyar at that time, had 81 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.639 given them a really good recommendation of you know, obviously they were in red 82 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.759 ear. They could see with their own eyes Jacob Chicker and I was told 83 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.120 the Canucks didn't feel he had the hockey sense. He led all defensemen in 84 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.199 scoring what a couple of years ago, Donnie. Uh So, Anyways, 85 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.959 it just look, it's a it's a big whiff. It's it's it's it's 86 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.959 they're gonna I don't know what to say. Well, people who would say 87 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:26.519 Calgary, you know, well you had him and you lost them because he 88 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.120 had a coach that didn't get along with it. Ever, anybody Darrel Sutter, 89 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.560 and you don't know what would have happened with with Vancouver. Like he 90 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.600 come, he comes to Vancouver. He wanted out of Calgary, he wanted 91 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:39.839 You don't know what would have happened with Vancouver. Maybe he would have been 92 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.560 happy in Vancouver than he was in Calgary and wouldn't have gone on to Florida. 93 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.519 Yes, say hey and Donny, we complained about the Canucks are not 94 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.519 hard enough to play against. He would have solved that issue if you would 95 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.560 have come to Vancouver big time. He's got it all. He's got the 96 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.759 scale. Look at the patients on the Winner last night, Donny patience, 97 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.519 patience. He's got great hands, he's got skill, he's got toughness, 98 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.600 he's he's everything you're wanting a player, I don't want everything. I don't 99 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:09.959 want to pile on somebody because a lot of people pile on this player. 100 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.199 But the Canucks. My understanding of the situation talking to people is that the 101 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.720 Canucks felt they had Matthew Kuchuck at the time, Jake for Tannon and Jake 102 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:26.480 that's right power forward who at times, like in his junior career anyway, 103 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:33.040 could be an agitator. Big drove to the net, at least in juniors, 104 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.439 and we didn't. Nobody ended up seeing any any of that at the 105 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.319 NHL level. They thought they had Matthew Kuld. We all thought that was 106 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.920 Jake was going to be that of that ilk. Yeah, and and it 107 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.920 it never had It didn't work out and again didn't work Hate to pile on 108 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:54.040 on somebody like like Jake for Tannon, but my understanding of the situation is 109 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.040 that's that's what we have that guy. Yea, we have Matthew, we 110 00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.480 have them. We don't need we need it. We need a young defenseman. 111 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:01.839 And not only did they pick the wrong player, if you want to 112 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.680 extend it, we talked about it earlier, Um they picked the wrong defenseman. 113 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.319 Well, yes they did. I'll even go back to last year and 114 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.160 LOOKRAMACKI to pick. Everybody was saying, get a defenseman, done it, 115 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.000 there's nothing in the system. And they took a forward. Um you know, 116 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.399 but eleven straight years the Canucks took a forward and then they took you 117 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.639 Levy, and so you can understand, I understand why they took you Levy. 118 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.480 Uh, get some defenseman and they're all in the difference makers. They 119 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.080 were expecting a difference making defenseman at fifth overall done and then we get it 120 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.240 with Matthew Kachuck as well. And I remember this from from that day. 121 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:46.159 Yeah. Um, the knock was his skating And to this day you look 122 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.200 at him skate and he's not a he's not a beautiful skater. It's not 123 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.840 fast. Gets the job done, gets it done, like whoo, who 124 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.080 cares that you know about? You know how he looks skating? How fast 125 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.399 gets the job done? Bottom line, we see the stats, we know 126 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.879 what he does. It was it was the wrong call. He's a big 127 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.559 guy in front of the net, that's got it all. He does all 128 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.000 his damage around the front of the net, behind the net, the side 129 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.360 of the net. He's so wonderful to watch. Um, Okay, moving 130 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.759 on and we'll deal with the poll question more later. But Rod Brenda Morris 131 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:20.600 from Campbell River, home of quincim Communications, we love it felt for him 132 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.240 last night. Yeah, I mean he looked so stunned after that game. 133 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:30.799 Four loss, all four losses by one goal goal after a great, great 134 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:37.639 Carolina season, Rod Brenda Moore post game last night, after yet another one 135 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.679 goal loss to the Florida Panthers. That's the unfortunate part of this is he's 136 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.879 gonna look back and Aryone's gonna say you got swept, and that's not what 137 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:50.519 happened. I watched the game there, I'm cutting the game. We're in 138 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.799 the game that we didn't get. We didn't lose four games, we got 139 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.159 beat but it's you know, we were right there and just could win the 140 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.200 other way in this We could in the four games the other way. And 141 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.519 tonight, you know, the way it ended is tough. Getting appenalty like 142 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.279 that, that's tough, you know, especially what was let go and then 143 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.759 you go, that's that's gonna that's gonna sting. But not to take anyway 144 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.679 from the other team because they played hard. But um, you know, 145 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.679 I think we took a huge step this year. Um, you know, 146 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.000 coming this far, like I said, with what we were missing, it's 147 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:28.759 pretty pretty impressive. Like I said, great season, you know, second 148 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.879 overall, a couple of playoffs series victories, and then that the four one 149 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.639 goal losses, the two overtime losses in Carolina and it's over and you look 150 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.000 at everybody they were missing, and they ran into injury problems yesterday with Nason 151 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.519 and slaven Or by the way, What a hit? What a hit? 152 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.960 Sam Bennett, them going down, you know, you forget you know, 153 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.639 patri Retti and Sechnikoff never played a game in the Slayoffs. Travan behind it 154 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.159 came back, didn't look the same. So there there was a whole lot 155 00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.399 there that led to Rod Bryndamore looking stunt and he's taken some heat because they 156 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.120 did get swept. They did, They did get swept. It hurts, 157 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.240 but I think anybody with the brain could figure out where Rod was coming from. 158 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.960 There. It's just like it. It's it's they got swapped. But 159 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:15.120 it didn't feel like they were. They were competitive in all games. It 160 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.240 wasn't a wipeout. I think they outshot the Panthers in every game. Doney, 161 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.159 last night again, Bob Barowski. Let's give credit to Bob. We're 162 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.840 giving check credit. Let's give their goaltender credit. Doney. You only gave 163 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.679 up six goals in four games. Three of them were in the last game. 164 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.159 So Florida ends up scoring its winning goal on a power play. Chuck 165 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.559 gets the winning goal on a power play. He mentioned the penalty to Jordan's 166 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.200 stall that led to the led to the power play. The trip played must 167 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:46.360 have for his ling. The thinking is that, okay, it's it's a 168 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.919 playoff game. You dial back what you're going to call. That was in 169 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:56.600 that was in Florida's end, right, So that that undoubtedly led to the 170 00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.519 thinking of the official who made the call. I would have waited a beat 171 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.399 to make that, and of course my NHL officiating experiences fast, but I 172 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.600 would have waited a beat. Florida got possession, like Foresling was able to 173 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.039 advance the pucks time, like there was a beat there where maybe maybe you 174 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.159 wait, if if if the pucket turned over. I know it's easy to 175 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:22.000 say where I'm sitting right now, but I could see why Rod Brittamore might 176 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.840 be frustrated. Technically, no doubt about it. It was a trip. 177 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.399 I don't know about the situation if that was indeed the right call. The 178 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.840 other thing is so the goal of counted. Yeah, well they reviewed it 179 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:39.159 because Sam Bennett it had a stick. Well, my take on it is 180 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:48.279 that I Freddy Anderson lifted Bennett's stick and then Bennett retaliated by trying to spear 181 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.320 him in the groin area, put a stick between his lips and uh, 182 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.159 but there's no way the NHL was taken, it would have been considered a 183 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.240 tikie tack called by a lot of people. They reviewed it. They reviewed 184 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.000 it, Donny, and there was some there was something going on in front 185 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.399 there. If they have, if they had disallowed that goal, I would 186 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.759 have understood it. But given the whole situation, I guess there you go. 187 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.960 It counts that Florida goes on to the to the Stanley Cup Final. 188 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.720 But again I think what happened was that Bennett was retaliating for Anderson messing around 189 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.679 with the patients. Donny, it's unreal. Yeah, I agree. You 190 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.000 know, a big guy, great myths. Um, look at that. 191 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.720 Yeah, it's so fun to watch that guy play hockey and he loves hockey. 192 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.000 Um. And he said the other day it's fun coming to the rink 193 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.840 and Florida and that's a bit of a shot at you know who in Calgary. 194 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.519 C Yeah right, yeah, okay, Um. Later on the show, 195 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:54.919 we want to talk about the fact that Kachuk and Barkoff no problem touching 196 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.360 the Prince of Wales trophy. We'll do that. There's a cannock angle to 197 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.679 it as well. If you remember ninety four, you'll you'll know what I'm 198 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.440 talking about. Uh, okay, we got time for Rick here, right, 199 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.840 No, we don't, we don't. We'll do that later. We've 200 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.759 got I want not some business here?

We mentioned Rick with some Canuck news. You'll never guess who Kevin 213 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.279 b X thinks should be the next GM of the Toronto May please, we'll 214 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.320 get to that. John Shannon will join us just after eleven o'clock. John 215 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.200 remembers ninety six when Florida went to its last Stanley Cup final, Doug McLean 216 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.639 like, yeah, it was his buddy coach back then. And I'm gonna 217 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.720 wonder how many times John thought over the years, how many times anybody who 218 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.879 follows hockey thought over the years that Florida would be moving out of Florida, 219 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.759 that franchise was seemed to be in trouble. It's funny you'd watch games from 220 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:41.960 Florida and to me, the building in Arizona seemed, and this is relatively 221 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:46.360 speaking, way more vibrant than the one in Florida, Like all the all 222 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.440 the expansive seats were all they're always empty, yes, Splorida. And I 223 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:52.600 always thought to myself, everybody talks about the Coyotes leaving, well, what 224 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.120 about what about the Panthers? Will talk to John about that big ride. 225 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:02.519 That quitter guy will join us later this hour and up next Lions BC. 226 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:08.440 Lions open up their preseason this weekend in Saskatchewan.

That's part of the athletic complex here at the University of Ottawa. 239 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.559 The players are out in the field and uh yeah, it's the top high 240 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.599 school football players in Canada. I've got a chance to call this game for 241 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.880 the last three years, so it's it's gonna be fun. And this one's 242 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:17.240 an interesting one because they've also got a youth game the next day here in 243 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:19.839 Ottawa as well, and my son's playing in that, so that'll be fun 244 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:25.200 to get to sit around and have some some father time as well as work 245 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:29.920 time. All the best to uh look, the big question farhand. The 246 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:34.359 Highak Parade takes place Saturday in the West. Have you found have you found 247 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:38.279 a Grand Marshal? Because Rick and I are well aware you must be desperate 248 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.920 because you asked us. Yeah, you know, we did. My wife 249 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.319 actually thinks so much of you done that. She said, you know, 250 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.279 could could Donnie and Rick do this? And I said, well, you 251 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.839 know I should ask. Rick's actually a news guy. You go for all 252 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:53.279 the viewers out there to tell you how big time these guys are. I 253 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.400 didn't even get a response for a week now, but you did get a 254 00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.079 response. I did, But I'm assuming you guys must have thought I meant 255 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:04.319 to send that to somebody else. You texted us and Whistler. You texted 256 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.799 us and Whistler not a good time, Not a good time. Well, 257 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.079 there's no parade in Whistler, right like you can come here. Rick, 258 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:14.920 you were You need to get back to your roots. You're an NWSS grad 259 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:17.880 or at least you're not sitting in a car. I'm not sitting in a 260 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:21.279 car and a parade and having people throw eggs at me. Nah, not 261 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.319 gonna happen. You know what, I've done the Marshall thing before. It's 262 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.160 a lot of fun. You can take yourself way too seriously. Just you 263 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:29.519 know, just wave, do the queen thing and just just wave a little 264 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.599 bit like that. Man, and I though I thought they were desperate asking 265 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.880 us. You were the Grand Marshal one year. My god, a few 266 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:37.920 years ago. Yeah. Look, I was a Citizen of the Year in 267 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.519 Newst as well, so I attributed to my hometown. Oh my goodness. 268 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.920 Well, yeah, I don't feel so bad because if I go into that 269 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.559 the High Act parade as the Grand I'm from Burnaby, Yeah I'd be I'd 270 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.400 be in big trouble. But I've adopted new Ust as my hometown. You 271 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:53.839 know, I lived there since two thousand and two. It's it's a great 272 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:57.079 place to live, it's a great place to raise a family. And of 273 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.200 course, you know, and yeah, we could have done we could have 274 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:04.640 done. Rick in the moje no and there's just so many marketing possibilities are 275 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:08.319 gonna come with that because both are news guys and both went to high school 276 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:14.200 there, and yeah they are. Okay, let's let's move on from the 277 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.960 Grand Marshall title. Let's farhand BC. Lions training camp continues in cam Loops. 278 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:22.920 You're good at that. Lions training camp continues in cam Loops played their 279 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.759 first preseason game and says catch and we haven't talked about this week and I 280 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.119 feel bad about this, but the Lions go out and get Wait a minute, 281 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.200 wait a minute. This is where Rick asks, how do the Lions 282 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.200 move on from Nathan Ork? Is that the question? No, it's who's 283 00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:37.720 gonna win the Great Cup? He's gonna win the Great Cup? Who's gonna 284 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.799 win the Great yea, yeah, and you've told us the last seven weeks. 285 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:47.839 But they acquire Canadian defensive lionan Jonathan Congbo. He played down in the 286 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.960 NFL last couple of years with Denver, I believe, and Great Cup champion 287 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.720 with Winnipeg. What do they have in Jonathan? Yeah, they've got a 288 00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.519 talented guy, right. I mean he was able to make a a difference 289 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.480 as a rotational pass rusher. The tears that he was in Winnipeg, but 290 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:06.759 you know, he obviously got a tremendous amount of experience in Denver last year 291 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:08.839 just being around the best players in the world. Got a chance to get 292 00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.519 defensive snaps in three of those games, you know, So I think we're 293 00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:15.680 gonna get the best to Jonathan Congbo. He's not a kid, he's not 294 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.559 a rookie. He's now a bit more of a refined football player and he 295 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.240 wants to play. And I think that's the most important thing is that he 296 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:23.759 could have bounced around the NFL and he probably would have had some additional interest, 297 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:27.119 but he wanted to get on the field and play and he thought that 298 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.720 that was an important thing for his development. So for the Lions to do 299 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.319 that, I think it's a great opportunity for them as well, because now 300 00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:37.200 they can really do some things with the ratio. You know, they can 301 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.279 maybe commit to three players on the defensive side of the ball, because along 302 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.759 with Congbo, you've also got Francis Bemy, who was their first round draft 303 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.279 pick and he's looked fantastic and training camp. So you couple that with guys 304 00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.920 like Matthew Bets and David Menard and then Nathan Cherry, who was their first 305 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.079 round pick a year ago. And you take all of those guys, and 306 00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.559 all of a sudden, you've got five six legitimate Canadian defensive linemen that you 307 00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:02.519 can rotate through three spats or two spots at the very least, along with 308 00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:07.039 a Canadian linebacker. And if you go with three, that gives your flexibility 309 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:10.319 either on the offensive line or at receiver to add some more American depth. 310 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.480 So I think to get a guy like Congbo is a huge deal for their 311 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:18.039 ratio, their flexibility, and just their defensive improvement far ahead. I always 312 00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.119 think the two preseason games isn't enough for young kids trying to make football. 313 00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.440 You don't have like an Avesburd These kids can go to Avesburg develop all you 314 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.720 you got a small taxis quad practice roster. Is there any thought to happen 315 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.720 more than just two two preseason games? Yeah, I mean, you know 316 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:38.880 they move from three to from four to three, and I think that was 317 00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:42.279 sorry, four to two, I should say, And you're right, it's 318 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.279 difficult. But you know, we're seeing such a trend even in the NFL 319 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.680 now of less and less in the way of your starters playing in preseason. 320 00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.680 Yeah, right, so you're going to see in most cases of starters play 321 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.240 half of a game total, right, even in the CFL. So can 322 00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:00.759 you get enough of an evaluation on your younger guys? And they do controlled 323 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.400 scrimmages and things like that, you know, but I think one more evaluation 324 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.759 opportunity probably isn't a bad thing. And you're seeing in the NFL they've expanded 325 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.400 to seventeen games, and they're talking about, you know, three preseason games 326 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.279 only now, and you just see such little in the way of starters being 327 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.039 risked to injury by playing them in the preseason. So, you know, 328 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.480 I don't know that you're going to see more. I don't know that the 329 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:25.759 CFLPA would allow it, but I think this is kind of power for the 330 00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:30.079 course for where football is headed, right, less meaningless games, less meaningless 331 00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.960 exposure to injury and risk, and try to find a way to do that 332 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.039 in a controlled practice setting. All right, NHL down to their final three 333 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:42.240 teams Florida. They beat the top three teams in the regular season to get 334 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.119 to where they are. I mean, this is no fluke. They beat 335 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.400 the three of the top four teams in the regular season, but are you 336 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:55.319 still surprised as an eight seed they've done this. Yeah, it's hard not 337 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:56.559 to be, you know. And I debate this for Tom and Drants all 338 00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:59.880 the time because they won the President stro for a year ago. Yeah, 339 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.000 and you know, if you look at them, they've had a track record 340 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.720 of success and here they are this season. They needed like a Chicago upset 341 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:08.400 against Pittsburgh just to get into the playoffs this year, and then they were 342 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:12.160 down three one and we're on the verge of being eliminated against Boston and then 343 00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:15.440 they wound up coming back and doing what they did. So you know, 344 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.039 it does speak to the roster. But this isn't the exact same team, 345 00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:21.559 right. I mean, when you look at that Matthew Colchuck trade, that 346 00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.119 was a franchise altering trade for them, so that was going to take some 347 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:26.960 time to get figured out. But you know, you look at Dad, 348 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:30.079 you'll get a coaching change in the last couple of years. So this is 349 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.119 a different team and maybe the team that had some regular season success. So 350 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:36.960 I do think that what they're doing right now that makes it even more impressive 351 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.880 because it's not simply enough to say this is the exact same team. They 352 00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:44.200 just stubbed their towing the regular season. So what they're doing right now is 353 00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:47.960 impressive. Their top players are playing their best, They're not relying on goaltending. 354 00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:49.480 You know, I think it's a complete team. And I don't know 355 00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:55.720 how Vegas season, but I think they should be favored over Vegas right regardless 356 00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:57.599 of how the sports books see it. And I think we're right now. 357 00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:02.880 They're probably underdogs Evan TA today, but the way they are playing right now, 358 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:04.440 and I think they've been outstanding. And look, you could certainly make 359 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.599 the case that Carolina outplayed them in three or four games, all of these 360 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.680 being one goal games, two of them being overtime games, and one essentially 361 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:14.400 was an overtime game with the goal with four seconds left. But the way 362 00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:17.400 these guys are able to play in big moments, the way Matthew Kutchuck's playing, 363 00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:21.079 these guys are you know, I don't like cliches, but they sure 364 00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:23.720 look like a team of destiny, you don't take no question about it. 365 00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.440 A lot of grit there far ahead. We asked you this every week along 366 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:30.359 with Rick asking you who's going to win the Great Cup twenty twenty three. 367 00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:37.640 But the latest on SFU's football program good and bad. Right, Like you 368 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.799 know, when we last talked, there was a lot of encouragement with the 369 00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:42.200 with the advisor and that's been good. And you know, we asked the 370 00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:47.279 university to give a small olive branch to these players by opening up the locker 371 00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:52.160 rooms and also giving them a chance to get access to strength and conditioning programs, 372 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.240 right because there still are going to be a lot of people, a 373 00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.160 lot of players that stay at the school, and I think the university admin 374 00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.640 was willing to do that, but I think there's been some push back in 375 00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.640 the athletic department, so there's been some mixed messaging. They haven't gotten into 376 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.440 the locker rooms yet, they haven't gotten that access to the strength coaches, 377 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:10.599 even though we thought it was headed that way, and I think they need 378 00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:14.839 to do that. President Johnson talked about re establishing trust. Something small like 379 00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.119 this does that, and then when you have this mixed messaging and the pushback 380 00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:21.839 from the athletic department, it takes away that trust. So hopefully they can 381 00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:25.480 get that sorted out, because these kids deserve that opportunity given what they've been 382 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:29.279 through in the last six weeks. Okay for ahand one more if you don't 383 00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:32.599 mind, and you and I share something in common, we both got in 384 00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:38.079 trouble earlier this week from the folks on social media Delaney's okay, tiring Langley 385 00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:44.200 inbox and all that because we talked about the late great Jim Brown and didn't 386 00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:48.720 bring up what he did off the field, which reportedly was awful abuse of 387 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:53.920 women. But just your memories of the late great Jim Brown on the field 388 00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:59.000 at the very least. Yeah, you know, and I'm not here to 389 00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:03.519 dismiss the minimize anything that happened and with him off the field. I know 390 00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.799 they were. They were all allegations and charges and and ultimately not not a 391 00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:10.200 lot of that stuck, which didn't mean something didn't happen. So I'm not 392 00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.720 trying to minimize that at all. But your question was what he did on 393 00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:21.920 the field, the concentration of time that he played because he cut his short 394 00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.000 for for you know, non injury related reasons. Um, the two best 395 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.319 I've ever seen, right, And when you look at what Jim Brown did 396 00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:32.640 in his time in Cleveland, if he had stayed that year, you know, 397 00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:41.640 when he was still tired because essentially, Um, the owner of the 398 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:44.440 time said, but he you know when they said no, get back here 399 00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:45.960 right now, he said, no, forget it, I'm gonna step back 400 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:48.359 and I don't want to play anymore. They probably won the first Super Bowl 401 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.319 that year, right, But this guy was an incredible player. He did 402 00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:56.880 in so many different ways physically and when you look at just his overall athletic 403 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.319 ability, right even what he did as a lacrosse player and the things. 404 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.240 This guy was a tremendous, tremendous athlete. So it was certainly a loss 405 00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.400 for the NFL to lose him as early as they did. You have to 406 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:08.920 consider him. I mean that period of time, you could make the case 407 00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:12.079 for greatest player ever that you know that wasn't a quarterback. I mean, 408 00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.119 I know, we give that, we give that Moniker of the Goat to 409 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.920 Tom Brady because of the number of Super Bowls he won. But the best 410 00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:22.880 player ever, the most physically dominant player ever, may have been Shambron. 411 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.960 Yeah, well, said fan, thanks for this. We didn't have the 412 00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:32.960 greatest transmission on that last answer. No shortage of people in the inbox saying 413 00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:37.200 you've never sounded better. Thanks for this, frand appreciate it. Thanks you 414 00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:40.200 guys. We'll talk next toek it'll be cleaner. Okay, No, it 415 00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:48.480 was fine thanks to farandology of TSN Lions again Saturday in Saskatchewan. They play 416 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:53.759 the following Thursday, a preseason game BC Place against Calgreathan. Their home opener 417 00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:57.559 is the seventeenth June seventeenth, Edmonton. We still don't know the band. 418 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:02.680 Should ask farhand that they're working on it. Well, you know something, 419 00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:04.440 I can they're working on it. There's still they haven't got it. I 420 00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:07.839 know, you know something about the connection. We'll deal with that next, 421 00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.640 along with an update of the poll question and some talk about, you know, 422 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:18.559 touching the Prince of Wales trophy or the Campbell Conference bull Hurricanes touched the 423 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:21.960 Prince of Wales trophy the last night. We'll see how that works out. 424 00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:30.759 That's next. Donnie Delhi the team on check, Oh so nice, and 425 00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:37.519 by Bryan Adams. Tina Turner yeah so good. Yeah, and we'll deal 426 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:44.519 more with Tina Turners passing in DTMC at bet ninety nine dot Net Pole question. 427 00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:47.880 The Florida Panthers are on to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time 428 00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:52.720 since nineteen ninety six. They sweep there urricaanst Matthew Kitchuck, including last night 429 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.359 three game winners in that series two and overtime. Our bet ninety nine dot 430 00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:00.920 net pole questioner who should feel worse about not having Matthew could check in their 431 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:06.960 lineup one thousand votes already it's hopping, and it's popping as well. Even 432 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.400 Stephen almost flames fifty seven percent Canucks forty three And just to give you the 433 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.039 background, the Canucks took all of you Levy at five, Donnie, and 434 00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:22.240 two sixteen Chuck, when at six and we've told you eleven years prob you 435 00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.079 think you thought it was the right choice. I didn't say that. I 436 00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.920 said to you they hadn't taken a defenseman in eleven years. It was time 437 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.759 to draft a defenseman in the first round. The Canucks had gone eleven years 438 00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:37.480 without drafting a defenseman in the first round. Two times it took two forwards 439 00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.839 done in the first round in the past eleven years. So that's why they 440 00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:47.079 took a defenseman. They just picked the wrong guy, picked the wrong defenseman 441 00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:49.039 in the wrong approach. I think you always go, this is just me 442 00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:53.160 the best players player. You can trade him, right if you feel you're 443 00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:56.720 two stacked, well, so do you want to go twelve years in a 444 00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:00.200 row before in the first round. No, but what happens is you you 445 00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:03.359 draft a forward, and if you have a surplus of forwards, that's a 446 00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:07.039 pleasant problem. You trade them for a defenseman. Simple. Why wasn't I 447 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.119 in charge of the Canucks back? I have no idea. Why haven't they 448 00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:17.200 called you and hired you? Well, Canucks aren't calling us all these things. 449 00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:18.960 We're on their bleep list. Yeah yeah, but believe me, the 450 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:22.119 owner doesn't like But we still talk about the vancorrect. We still talk about 451 00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:27.319 them. You have some happen to the graphic Ris, just stop it, 452 00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:30.799 Duc there's not the major. I got it. I finally got four times 453 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:33.039 said I don't know if Derek still has it or not. No, just 454 00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:38.319 there's nothing major. I'm just giving it update. Right, you need to 455 00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:42.079 promote yourself that God, there's no promotion. I'm just giving an update. 456 00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:45.799 I finally got to Millstein. You know, Dan, good guy, a 457 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:48.000 friend of ours, friend of the show, friend of the show. Dan 458 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:56.480 is finally talking about Donni crats off of a tally Stop get it out of 459 00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:57.880 there, right, just set it out of there. I'd like you two 460 00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:02.640 in that what's that called the hood or what's it called the front? Front 461 00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:04.119 loader? Front loader? Yeah, you two in the front that that looks 462 00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:08.000 good. I believe that was Mario and Richmond. That sentence Mario and Richmond. 463 00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:15.119 Who's the guy birthdays today? Island? Joe has been Quiet's ghosted us? 464 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:18.079 Yeah, well what could you? That's very hip of you. Is 465 00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.079 that what the kids say? Yeah? Wow, I never heard. I 466 00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:25.920 just heard ghosting on what the kids say? Dan? That's what the kids 467 00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:27.960 say. That's what Dan Milsty was doing to you for something. Hey stop, 468 00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:32.160 Dan Milstein never ghosts me. Dan's a good guy. He likes me. 469 00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:37.000 I got to him this morning. He's finally telling us why Vitally Cratsop 470 00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:40.160 signed in Russia's gonna get a ton of ice time down their first line power 471 00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:45.759 play. He's had a tough a cup, tough See. This is what 472 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.079 you guys do, by the way, is it Dad? Everything ready to 473 00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:52.400 go? And then you guys, is the khild down there? Where it 474 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.359 is? Down there? What did I say? You sit down there in 475 00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:00.079 the kh I think that what else is it right there? I equivalent in 476 00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:04.839 of a minor league. That's what Rick was referring. So overseas u KHL 477 00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.680 in Russia. Can I finish like Mexico. Yeah, he's had a tough 478 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:12.839 couple of years in the NHL, so he's twenty he's only twenty three. 479 00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:17.160 It's time for a reset. And Donnie Dan was communicating with the Canucks that 480 00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:21.640 they didn't get caught off guard with this signing in Russia. They are going 481 00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:24.720 to qualify him. Dan confirmed and yeah, Canucks are going to qualify and 482 00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.079 watch his development over the next two years. Now, I want to bring 483 00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:32.880 this up because this guy rips the Canucks signing. Eliam mccalf, I want 484 00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:37.160 to tell you something right now. Mccaf knee surgery February second. I just 485 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.279 want to tell you he's going to start skating in August. Donnie, no 486 00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:44.960 setbacks so far. They shut him down. They no, no, they 487 00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:49.119 shut him down on January twenty seven. He had surgeby five days later. 488 00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.720 I just want to tell you there's been no setbacks. He continues to see 489 00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:55.559 doctors. Right now, it looks good to start training camp for mccaf, 490 00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:59.319 So that's good. The other one I want to tell you is Milstein says, 491 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:01.440 go back to that first. Let's go back to mccamp. Why did 492 00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:07.480 he play huh like, oh, because he loves hockey, Donna talking, 493 00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.119 But he's got a bum knee and they have him. He played the majority 494 00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:14.039 of the season. He played hurt. He played hurt, he loves hockey. 495 00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:15.000 Didn't want to come out of the lineup. Probably not a good idea. 496 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:17.599 Kip it, Donny. It's your first season with the Canucks. You 497 00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:22.279 just signed as a UFA, So what do you mean you want to shut 498 00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.079 it down two weeks into the season. Come on, if it's a serious 499 00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:28.839 knee injury, which apparently it was, Yeah, shut him down earlier. 500 00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:31.720 So anyways, all all signs look good. Dan says, no setbacks. 501 00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:37.400 That's the key for me. Donnie Milstein also says Andre Kuzmenko is going to 502 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.359 start preparing for the upcoming season next week. It's the earliest he's ever prepared 503 00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:49.000 for a season because there were conditioning issues, right, I were that. 504 00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:51.920 We only don't know that for a fact. The coach never came out and 505 00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:55.039 said he's you know, I'm just telling you he's starting his earliest next week 506 00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:59.279 talk. It's made it very clear to these guys, don't go home and 507 00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:01.279 eat apple pie and cherry pie all summer. Donny, and you know that, 508 00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:06.519 By the way, cherry pie is the best. Anyways. I'm just 509 00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:09.719 telling I don't think it's the best pie. But we could go on cherry 510 00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:14.159 is There's nothing better than cherry pie, Donny, Are you kidding me? 511 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.840 Apple is good, you put a little ice cream on, but cherry pie. 512 00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:22.559 But cherry pie is the best. Anyways. The key is the key 513 00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:30.519 is cuse make was gonna start next week the earlier cherry but right, okay, 514 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:32.000 cherry pie is you know what I mean? Top three. I had 515 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:37.360 a cherry tree back to Little Ricky. I. I used to go up 516 00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:39.360 that tree and just sit there for hours and just munch on those cherries. 517 00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:44.519 We had the same thing. Cherry tree was my neighbor Tim and I got 518 00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:47.679 sick one time in the tree. What yeah, like vomiting. I would 519 00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:52.000 sit just nothing better than a cherry tree. My mom had no cherries for 520 00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:55.760 the pie because we we had a huge cherry tree. It was great. 521 00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:00.519 We had two. I'm better than you all had two. Okay, that's 522 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.400 a that's you had one more thing. No, there's nothing else.

Lost the 595 00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:51.239 seats again, I stop last Oh my god, I'm tired of this crop. 596 00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:53.199 I brought it up on Tuesday when we returned. But there is there's 597 00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:57.519 an update, so I need to provide it to the people. Last night 598 00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:01.559 was the season ticket holder seat relocation event. If you have season tickets at 599 00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:05.920 Rogers Arena, you could go last night potentially move your season tickets or what 600 00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:10.199 happened. So, of course the main topic of conversation was the seats themselves. 601 00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:15.079 The seats. So our good pal Clay I Move has provided some great 602 00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:20.519 detail on what happened or what is happening with the seats. He's actually posted 603 00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:22.679 a seven minute long YouTube video with all the details, so if you want 604 00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:25.760 to check that out on Clay's YouTube channel, you can get all the details 605 00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:28.719 there. So this is from Clay. Here's the photo, one of the 606 00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:32.960 photos, so you can see there's two actual seats here in this photo furthest 607 00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:37.840 from furthest from the camera. There's seats with no like buttons. She either 608 00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:42.559 flat back, they're smooth, there's nothing there. Closest to us are the 609 00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:47.039 ones with the buttons. These closed seats are part of the sixty seat VIP 610 00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:52.280 seating section. Buttons the big difference. Well, I think there's more cushion. 611 00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:57.000 It's like a captain seat. So sixty seats VIP section. Okay, 612 00:41:57.159 --> 00:42:00.039 now hold onto your hats. These seats. You have to lock in for 613 00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:06.760 a three year commitment on these seats, okay. They range from seventy five 614 00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:10.239 to eighty five thousand dollars over the three years, you get access to all 615 00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:14.679 of the Canucks games and every event in Rodgers Arena. Basically, if you 616 00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:17.119 have these seats, you also get access too. I'm gonna show you another 617 00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:22.199 photo. Here this new tunnel that's been built right next to these seats. 618 00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:25.880 Yeah, here's the tunnel here, the Oilers esque tunnel. So this tunnel 619 00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:30.480 here, you go down here, you're gonna be able to see the players 620 00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:36.400 go out onto the ice if you're one of these VIP folks and there's gonna 621 00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:39.039 potentially be what are you looking at eating area down there? That's not the 622 00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:44.079 area you're talking underneath. Yeah, you're gonna go down here. They've got 623 00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:46.719 to cover up Like Edmonton, they're trying to copy Abinton where the fans can 624 00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:51.719 see the Oilers. Yeah. So the other thing, the other thing they're 625 00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:55.199 copying here is seat licensing is starting to get into Rogers Arena, which is 626 00:42:55.599 --> 00:42:59.039 you Now, no, you don't just buy a ticket, you buy your 627 00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:02.159 seat, You pay a license fee on the seat. That's where these VIPs 628 00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:07.239 are. You're you're buying a license to own the tickets on the seat. 629 00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:12.400 So, uh, when it comes to the rest of the seats in Roger's 630 00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:15.960 Arena. It was confirmed last night. They're basically gonna have one section done 631 00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:19.920 a black seats. It's gonna look hideous. This yes, that's it, 632 00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:24.599 one section total over by the time the puck drops on the preseason. Why 633 00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:29.840 bother with the one level down black seats. It's a great question, Donnie 634 00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:36.840 Umphite Gray. Apparently it's gonna be three years of redoing the seats at Rogers 635 00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:39.039 Arena. This is year one, then the next two off seasons they'll be 636 00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:44.360 doing the rest. Now, the one thing that's gross about this. If 637 00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:47.480 you had season tickets in this section where these new VIPs are getting to have 638 00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:54.039 their cushing little area, you've been booted out, you've been told thank you've 639 00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:57.599 you, you've had season tickets in the building seats it open, doesn't matter. 640 00:43:57.679 --> 00:44:00.800 You either have to buck up to the VIP level of seventy five to 641 00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:02.880 eighty five thousand dollars or you gotta go elsewhere. So there's no one year 642 00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:06.239 committed with these seats. Well, that's not right. No, you gotta 643 00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:08.199 move. That's not right. So again, I said it on Tuesday, 644 00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:13.280 and I'll say it again. Francesco Acquilini, Michael Doyle, A lot of 645 00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:16.039 Canucks sports and entertainment and only care for the most part about the people that 646 00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:20.639 can pay the most money in the building. I get that, which I 647 00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:23.519 know you have to. This is to the extreme. This, it's ridiculous. 648 00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:27.559 I have a buddy that went last night. Okay, he's a three 649 00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:30.199 hundred level season ticket older. He's been a season ticket older for I think 650 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:34.719 it's close to twenty years now at this point. Okay, loyal customer. 651 00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:37.840 But he's in the upper deck. But he's there every night, he buys 652 00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:39.800 all the merchandise, he does it all, and yet his seats are likely 653 00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:45.239 not being replaced with until three more years. Meanwhile, you expedited these people 654 00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:49.800 that are going to be you know, again, I'm sure they're blue collar 655 00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:52.920 fans that are gonna have merchandise on. I'm sure they're gonna be up cheering 656 00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:54.880 and really providing a great environment in the lower bowl. You had to get 657 00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:59.880 their seats done immediately. Well off, again, I understand I talked about 658 00:44:59.880 --> 00:45:02.119 the uh you know, I don't know the fifteen times you brought brought up 659 00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:06.639 the seats. I understand taking care of your your best customers, but this 660 00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:10.440 three year commitment and and for what did you say seventy five to eighty five. 661 00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:15.360 Eighty five? Come on, it's a ten thousand dollars difference if you 662 00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:17.920 want an aisle seat, if you want an I'll see ten thousand dollars more. 663 00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:22.239 Which again, which I who doesn't want an ill seat? Ten grand? 664 00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:28.519 I don't know. And look at I understand how business works. They 665 00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:34.199 have to have levels of customer I get that. Full heart of my problem 666 00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:38.039 is with a lot of what the Canucks do. They care more about the 667 00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:42.480 people. That's where all the money is. Why are you so shocked about 668 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.679 because you can't forget the other people and that's what they do. The sad 669 00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:50.199 part, Ryan is I think you're banging on. The sad part is not 670 00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:52.639 the sad part. But reality is those people are still gonna stick around. 671 00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:57.360 I know and and and the owner knows that. Hoey fan and the owner 672 00:45:57.400 --> 00:46:00.679 knows that and takes advantage of those people. And he he he hasn't been 673 00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:04.239 hit like he's they were hit in the eighties. If they were down to 674 00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.360 nine, ten thousand and eleven thousand like they were in the eighties, he 675 00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:10.280 would be he would be much different. But it's never gonna happen. It's 676 00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:14.639 it's a it's been eleven years of bleep pocket but the rink still packs. 677 00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:16.360 So he can't do this stuff. I just, you know, like I 678 00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:23.559 just can't believe he can't relate to everybody, like anybody, like Amar Vancouver, 679 00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:27.719 like Amar Dolman, like this a Vancouver. This is not gonna go 680 00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:30.119 over well with with a lot of people, but they'll probably still They're gonna 681 00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:35.719 be done on every game. Anybody who gets booted out of that section has 682 00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:39.400 to get a little kiss yep, I'm sorry, apparently not Apparently, it's 683 00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:43.960 tough luck. Sorry, you either have to write this check or you gonna 684 00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:46.559 move elsewhere. And again, that's that's my beef with it. I totally 685 00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:51.039 understand you need to have sweet sections, you have to have all these clubs 686 00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:52.559 they've got there. If you want to have this, that's fine. It's 687 00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:55.800 more revenue for the team. I get all of that. But it's it's 688 00:46:55.920 --> 00:46:59.599 throwing everyone else to the wayside that I got a problem with. And like 689 00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:04.039 I said, Mark, we're gonna get some stories in the inbox. There's 690 00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:07.280 people that went last night that they've said that they were told straight up, 691 00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.840 here's the new amount you pay on your seats or you're moving your seats. 692 00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:15.840 Well, keep in mind too that the team has had this run of on 693 00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:22.679 ice success that I totally fifty yard line in football, same thing. Those 694 00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:25.119 guys get a lot of special stuff, extra stuff. It's it's it's everywhere. 695 00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:30.320 But yeah, but okay, one more thing here from me anyway, 696 00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:35.880 is there a model for this elsewhere? Like I said, this, the 697 00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:39.840 seat licensing thing, the three year commitment, that just seems the licensing thing 698 00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:43.559 is now everywhere. I'm out of touch when it comes to this sort of 699 00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:47.079 stuff. The licensing thing is everywhere. It's season, it's in Seattle, 700 00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:52.760 it's in Edmonton for the Oilers. That's they're trying to milk every dollar they 701 00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:55.400 can out of people owning seats. And I again, I understand it. 702 00:47:55.480 --> 00:47:59.679 I know how business works. Like I say, it's it's the feeling out 703 00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:02.840 of the ownership group is where I have the main beef with. There's a 704 00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:08.239 lot of this stuff looking after the high end client and not worrying about the 705 00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:14.159 guy like Donnie who's been covering the team since forever. You don't care because 706 00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:16.960 they don't pay eighty five thousand dollars over three years for seats and that's what 707 00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:21.159 bugs me. Coming out. Next. John Shannon joins you guys to talk 708 00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:24.719 about the Stanley Cup Final. One of those teams is set Florida. Wonder 709 00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:28.679 if anybody's paying eighty five grand for seats in Florida. Let I guess probably 710 00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:31.760 not. There were still there were still tickets available last night to walk up 711 00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:36.119 to that game. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. It's not 712 00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:37.960 the perfect franchise, no, but hey, look at the building was packed 713 00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:39.800 and looked like that good vibe. You gotta give him credit for that, 714 00:48:39.880 --> 00:48:46.800 John Shannon, next Donnie Doll, the team on check. All of today's 715 00:48:46.840 --> 00:48:51.519 guest, including John Shannon, standing by. Brought to you by the Vancouver 716 00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:54.679 Giants.

Speaking of the Giants, in the Western Hockey 720 00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:14.719 League Tabloops, the Memorial Cup starts this weekend with the Blazers against Quebec Law 721 00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:20.440 Quebec Ramparts. All the best to the organizers up in camoops and the teams 722 00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:23.840 involved. As we bring in NHL analyst co host of the Bob Accollen podcast. 723 00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:27.880 He's been to a Memorial Cup or two, John Shannon, how are 724 00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:31.119 you, sir? I'm great. Memorial Cups fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. 725 00:49:31.519 --> 00:49:37.480 It is one of the great events for nine or ten days and really in 726 00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:40.639 so many ways you get such a sense of the future of the game by 727 00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:45.599 being around the four teams and it's a blast. I did I think four 728 00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:51.119 of them in the mid of the last decade, and I just it became 729 00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:53.639 a real treat. Yeah, for people who haven't been, I always describe 730 00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:57.480 it as the Canadian version of the Final Four. I love that. You'll 731 00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:01.039 you'll get alumnis from the ALM, from the four teams involved. There, 732 00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:05.519 there's a there's a lot to be seen. Good party, Hey, John, 733 00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:08.199 Florida is moving on to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 734 00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:13.519 ninety six. That was early in their existence. We all know the visuals 735 00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:16.719 of the empty seats in that building between ninety six and now, what were 736 00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:21.320 there times and you thought like, how how long can this franchise last? 737 00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:27.159 There? Well, I think we had a lot of conversations about what was 738 00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:30.679 going on in South Florida, like we had conversations about what was going on 739 00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:36.280 in Arizona, you know. And and the biggest difference between the two was 740 00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:42.239 that ownership was able to find a way to have an arena built, albeit 741 00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:46.239 not in the greatest part of the urban areas of South Florida, whether it 742 00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:52.400 be Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood or Miami. But it's out. It's out near 743 00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:54.920 the Everglades and on the way to Alligator Alley. But it's still a big 744 00:50:55.000 --> 00:51:00.960 building and they can still sell it out and they have done some good things, 745 00:51:00.519 --> 00:51:06.039 particularly this playoff. So you have to cross your fingers and hope that 746 00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:08.960 this will be that watershed moment when they say the team has arrived. What 747 00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:13.599 do you think people people in Vancouver are thinking some things as well, But 748 00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:16.519 what do you think people in Calgary are thinking? Watching with Matthew Kitchuck is 749 00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:23.880 up to well. Matthew Chuck was not going to sign long term in Calgary. 750 00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:29.079 He told Brad trill Living that and Brad trill Living did him a favor 751 00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:31.719 and in doing so, we all thought Brad tur Living did a solid job 752 00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:37.719 and getting a pretty good return with Jonathan Huberd and Mackenzie Wieger and a couple 753 00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:43.760 of other assets. So I mean, we were all saying that Brad tur 754 00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:45.920 Living should win the Manager of the Year before the season started for what he 755 00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:51.280 did that didn't contemplate what was going to happen with the coach and was going 756 00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:53.800 to happen with the players interacting with the coach in Calgary this year, plus 757 00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:58.840 some pretty mediocre goaltending most of the season. So from that point of view, 758 00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:01.480 funny, I look at that line a little differently when you think of 759 00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:07.840 Matthew Kachuck, Sam Bennett, another Calgary Flame guy, and and Reinhard Well, 760 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:12.639 Paul Reinhardt played a lot of pretty good years in Calgary as he did 761 00:52:12.679 --> 00:52:16.599 in Vancouver, and Sam, you know, who's really a north Shore kid 762 00:52:16.679 --> 00:52:22.119 more than anything else. But you know, there's there's a connection with Calgary 763 00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:25.199 with Reinhardt as well because of his dad. So that that whole line would 764 00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:30.559 drive Flame fans nuts in my opinion, John, you mentioned Brad tree Living. 765 00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:36.360 He's in Toronto this week interviewing for the May Beliefs GM job. He 766 00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:38.480 is serious candidate in your eyes. Or give us a little recap of what 767 00:52:38.559 --> 00:52:45.280 you're hearing in Toronto who's going to replace Dubis? Well, I think that 768 00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:49.599 there's a lot of people suggesting that Brad is the odds on favorite to replace 769 00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:55.320 Kyle. I just think it's too early to decide that. I certainly you 770 00:52:55.400 --> 00:53:00.840 know Brad would interview well, Brad is a solid States Brendan Shanahan would have 771 00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:05.719 a plenty of time to be able to speak with him this week. But 772 00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:12.119 to me, you know, when you consider that, Brendan Shanahan said he 773 00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:17.760 really started to look in earnest after Kyle Dubis's press conference on Monday of last 774 00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:22.519 week. So he's had ten days to look at candidates and we're gonna make 775 00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:27.039 a decision this quickly. That doesn't make much sense to me. You know, 776 00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:30.840 they still have some quality people in the front office that can do certain 777 00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:35.719 things, whether it be prepared for the draft or even sign some guys to 778 00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:43.719 contracts or build negotiating practices for contracts and guys like Brandon Prittiman, Lawrence Gilman. 779 00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:47.320 So from that perspective, I don't know why Brendan Shanahan would be in 780 00:53:47.480 --> 00:53:52.719 that much of a hurry to sign somebody right away unless he got the sense 781 00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:55.320 that this was going to be the only guy available, or this was the 782 00:53:55.400 --> 00:53:59.280 only guy for the job, and I just don't see that. What do 783 00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:00.920 you see it on? Well, it looks like they're down to the final 784 00:54:01.039 --> 00:54:05.159 stages. Who's going to be the new owner there? John? In your 785 00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:07.559 eyes? Well, We've talked about it on this show and I've talked about 786 00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:10.639 it on other shows. I've always thought that Michael Landlawer was going to be 787 00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:15.920 the inside track. The fact that he's been to the Board of Governors representing 788 00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:22.000 Montreal many times. He has a familiarity with Gary Bettman and Bill Day in 789 00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:29.679 the NHL office. I think that Anne Lauer has basically been vetted already because 790 00:54:29.719 --> 00:54:34.480 of his partial ownership of the Montreal Canadians. So from that perspective, I 791 00:54:34.599 --> 00:54:37.880 think that Anne Lauer has always had the inside track and just now is trying 792 00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:42.440 to agree on that what that final figure is. The other two groups, 793 00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:47.880 the Kimmels and the Enstopoless, both Toronto millionaires billionaires, are going through the 794 00:54:47.960 --> 00:54:52.800 same process. But my money's still on Michael Landlawer. I'd be shocked if 795 00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:57.360 it wasn't him. Hey, John, getting back to the Leafs general manager 796 00:54:57.480 --> 00:55:02.079 situation, and maybe Pittsburgh's In this conversation as well, Kevin Bix has been 797 00:55:02.119 --> 00:55:07.159 talking with Elliott Freeman and saying that why isn't anybody mentioning his old boss, 798 00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:15.599 Mike Gillis. Has his name been thrown around there at all? I have 799 00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:19.039 not heard, obviously, Mike Gillis. The last time Mike Gillis's name was 800 00:55:19.119 --> 00:55:22.599 brought up was to be the executive director of the Players Association, where he 801 00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:27.639 has been a consultant for the last eighteen or nineteen months. But I have 802 00:55:27.880 --> 00:55:35.119 not heard Mike's name in terms of the Pittsburgh scenario or even the Philadelphia scenario. 803 00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:39.280 The one thing I could tell you is that it becomes a question of 804 00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:45.480 relationships, and it's one of those things that you wonder now where what Mike's 805 00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:50.320 relationship is with the guys in the New York office, with Bill and Garry, 806 00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:52.920 and how would that affect things? You know, John Henry and the 807 00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:57.599 people at Fenway Sports Group that own the Penguins now are doing things a little 808 00:55:57.719 --> 00:56:01.719 differently, I think, And if you guys have followed the track, but 809 00:56:01.920 --> 00:56:07.880 the guy in charge for Fenway is David Beaston, who is Paul Beaston's son, 810 00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:13.039 the former or Chairman of the Blue Jayson CEO of Major League Baseball. 811 00:56:13.400 --> 00:56:16.320 So David is working for John Henry in that group, and he's going to 812 00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:22.480 pick the new president of hockey ops and general manager, and whether it's Kyle 813 00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:25.679 Dubis or Eddie Oulchik, who I believe has talked to the team. You 814 00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:30.880 know, there's going to be some big changes in Pittsburgh and hopefully try to 815 00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:34.199 re engage with the fan base there. But I have, in all honesty, 816 00:56:34.280 --> 00:56:37.079 I have not heard Mike's name, and Kevin's probably very right that Mike 817 00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:43.800 Gillis deserves an opportunity. Hey, back back to last night and the Hurricanes 818 00:56:43.880 --> 00:56:45.679 lost to the Panthers. You know, four one goal losses. Do you 819 00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:50.239 understand where Rod Brendamore was coming from. I'm not sure he expressed it all 820 00:56:50.280 --> 00:56:52.639 that well, but he felt it wasn't a sweep. He took some criticism 821 00:56:52.760 --> 00:56:55.639 for that because you know, it's a fact it was a sweep. But 822 00:56:55.719 --> 00:57:00.199 do you understand where he was coming from? Sure, when you consider that 823 00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:05.719 you had two overtime games, and then you might as well have called last 824 00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:08.199 night an overtime game as well. Right with four point nine seconds left in 825 00:57:08.519 --> 00:57:15.679 regulation to score the goal and the other game was a one nothing shut out 826 00:57:15.800 --> 00:57:23.119 by Sergei Robowski. Carolina missed Andre Spshnikoff last night. They missed Jacob slaven 827 00:57:23.239 --> 00:57:28.320 for most of the game after the Bennett hit. They never addressed and we 828 00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:32.800 did talk about this around deadline, guys, they never addressed finding a sniper. 829 00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:37.039 You know, every other team has a sniper, whether that's Mark Stone 830 00:57:37.119 --> 00:57:46.039 in Vegas, Jason Robertson in Dallas. You know, Carolina was a great 831 00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:52.239 team, but every once in a while you need that unique player to be 832 00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:53.599 able to say, boys, jump on my back, I'm going to get 833 00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:58.199 us to the goal. Right now. Matthew Kachaka has become that guy in 834 00:57:58.280 --> 00:58:04.320 Florida. They don't have that body and haven't had that body in Carolina ever, 835 00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:07.679 and it's something that I think at some point they have to address. 836 00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:10.400 They thought Max Patchoretti was supposed to be that guy, but his achilles issue 837 00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:15.159 popped up again and so that was a problem. But even at the deadline 838 00:58:15.159 --> 00:58:20.039 where they could have gone out and found a sniper, they didn't and it 839 00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:22.639 really hurt them, particularly in this series. Yeah, hard to watch what 840 00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:27.960 patch Retti went through on the ice and certainly last night Slaven Slaven as well 841 00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:30.519 we are live, John, thank you want to see something? Rick? 842 00:58:30.639 --> 00:58:37.039 Sorry? What did you think of Craig Craig Conroy in Calgary? John tell 843 00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:38.760 us Live? What do you thought? What do you think of that? 844 00:58:39.519 --> 00:58:45.559 Well, it's nice to see good people rewarded for hard work. You know, 845 00:58:45.719 --> 00:58:51.000 here's here's a guy from upstate New York that people say, well, 846 00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:52.880 Americans don't like to play in Canada or live in Canada. Well here's a 847 00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:57.760 guy that has made the commitment to living in southern Alberta, has worked his 848 00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:01.400 tail off within the organization. So that's that's a positive. I think part 849 00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:05.639 of the Cell job too, was at a key time that they're going to 850 00:59:05.719 --> 00:59:09.039 get that guy out of Cologna named Jerome Acginla to come out and work with 851 00:59:09.119 --> 00:59:13.679 the organization. I think that will be a positive. So from that perspective, 852 00:59:14.239 --> 00:59:17.719 I think rewarding people for hard work is something we haven't seen very often 853 00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:22.519 in our league and our sport for a long time. It's nice to see. 854 00:59:22.639 --> 00:59:28.079 And by the way, ritten by the way, ye strawberry rhubarb for 855 00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:34.239 pies for pies, not cherry strawberry rub Sorry, we had Donnie and I 856 00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:36.920 had cherry trees.

I 858 00:59:42.119 --> 00:59:46.039 know all about cherry trees, apple trees, and peach trees, but strawberry 859 00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:50.639 rubarbs at the top of the list points up there.

Rubart, 865 01:00:13.280 --> 01:00:17.079 Oh, it's good the with strawberry. That offsets the sour of the Rubart 866 01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:22.679 rub It works. He's right about the Calgary connection with with the Florida. 867 01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:29.280 We're moving on here, but obviously good Chuck and Bennett. I know Sam 868 01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:31.800 Reinhardt never played for the Flames, but there's the Reinhardt connection with his father, 869 01:00:32.119 --> 01:00:36.239 one of the great Flames of all time, also played for the Canucks. 870 01:00:36.679 --> 01:00:39.079 All right, we'll update the poll question and talk about that trophy. 871 01:00:39.199 --> 01:00:44.800 Situation. Next, Donnie delayed the team on check.

In a couple of segments. Meantime, let's update the Bet 881 01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:35.480 ninety nine dot net pole question. As the Florida Panthers move on to the 882 01:01:35.559 --> 01:01:38.039 Stanley Cup Final for the first time since nineteen ninety six. Matthew good Chuck 883 01:01:38.199 --> 01:01:43.880 with three game winners in the series the sweep versus Carolina. Oh yeah, 884 01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:47.079 our Bet ninety nine done that pole question? Who should feel worse about not 885 01:01:47.199 --> 01:01:51.400 having Matthew coot Chuck in their lineup? The connects are the flames and pretty 886 01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:58.000 close flames leading a fifty eight percent already thirteen hundred votes. My vote goes 887 01:01:58.039 --> 01:02:00.079 to the Flames because at least they had in the lineup at one point. 888 01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:02.800 But you were mad the connections, Yeah, but you were also pissed the 889 01:02:02.840 --> 01:02:07.119 Canucks didn't take Well, I'll tell you what. We were doing a show 890 01:02:07.239 --> 01:02:12.400 at Rogers Arena for that twenty sixteen draft, and when Jim Banning said Lindon 891 01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:15.039 Knights, everybody just that little split second, everybody just assumed it was going 892 01:02:15.079 --> 01:02:19.639 to be math. It was only a levy. There wasn't a lot of 893 01:02:19.679 --> 01:02:23.679 applause. No, people were really surprised, stunted and as it turned out, 894 01:02:24.400 --> 01:02:29.280 rightfully so h some business, all right. Looking for a gift for 895 01:02:29.320 --> 01:02:32.159 a sports fan, how about an addition to your man cave, Pastime Sports 896 01:02:32.239 --> 01:02:37.599 a place to visit check out the largest election as sports member Billy autographed items, 897 01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:42.280 trading cards and collectible games of Western Canada.

You can't see it. I 903 01:03:07.239 --> 01:03:13.360 can't do it. I can reach over there, easy reach there you go. 904 01:03:14.519 --> 01:03:17.840 Now, it's a lot a lot of second It's just leave it, 905 01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:22.679 Ryan, you gotta be better yourself a piece of cherry pie. Just leave 906 01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:27.519 that thing alone. The player coming into the conference finals was arguably the oddest 907 01:03:28.039 --> 01:03:31.400 going in the playoffs. Joe Pavelski of the Dallas Stars. Will the Stars 908 01:03:31.480 --> 01:03:36.920 stave off the Golden Knights tonight? That is the question. M stave off. 909 01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:38.960 That's the one word I don't get. Well, it's two words, 910 01:03:39.000 --> 01:03:43.400 but stave off. I mean you don't use it every day of the week. 911 01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:49.000 Staved is a playoff. Whee Okay, So let's talk about what happened 912 01:03:49.079 --> 01:03:52.159 last night. One of the things that happened last night in Sunrise, Florida, 913 01:03:52.519 --> 01:03:57.800 Brooks Kepa all sorts of celebrities there watching that game, watching their Panthers, 914 01:03:57.880 --> 01:04:01.199 the Peas defeat the Hurricane four three late goal, of course, four 915 01:04:01.280 --> 01:04:05.639 point nine seconds left. John Shannon just talked about it. By Matthew Chuck, 916 01:04:05.719 --> 01:04:12.039 what patience he showed on that goal. So the question always is when 917 01:04:12.079 --> 01:04:15.280 a team wins a conference final, in this case the Eastern Conference, would 918 01:04:15.320 --> 01:04:19.639 the Panthers touch the Prince of Wales Trophy? Right? They did. They 919 01:04:19.719 --> 01:04:24.760 did. Not only did they touched it touch it, they prayded it around 920 01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:29.360 with it like it was the Stanley Cup. I have no issues with this. 921 01:04:29.960 --> 01:04:31.679 Well, they got here by beating three of the top four teams in 922 01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:35.960 the regular season. Donnie forgot about superstitious. They're confident, and they're basically 923 01:04:36.039 --> 01:04:39.840 saying, we don't care, bring on the next guy, We're gonna win 924 01:04:39.880 --> 01:04:42.079 the Cup. I have no issues with that. I agree with you. 925 01:04:42.239 --> 01:04:45.519 I'll get to that in a second. But five of the last seven teams 926 01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:49.840 who have won the Stanley Cup, including the Tampa Bay Lightning, have touched 927 01:04:49.880 --> 01:04:55.039 the Prince of Wales Trophy. I'm wondering if this thing is has gone the 928 01:04:55.159 --> 01:05:00.840 way of the Dodo Bird. Last team to not touch the Prince of Wales 929 01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:03.159 Trophy and win the Stanley Cup. Are you with me here? Oh yeah, 930 01:05:03.360 --> 01:05:08.559 the twenty eleven Boston Bruston. So it's it's been a while. Listen, 931 01:05:09.400 --> 01:05:12.079 you're at home. You don't know what's going to happen in the next 932 01:05:12.199 --> 01:05:15.480 round. Has some fun with your fans. So I think you touch it 933 01:05:15.760 --> 01:05:18.400 in this case, parade around with it, which not every team does even 934 01:05:18.440 --> 01:05:21.639 if they do touch it. I didn't didn't have a problem with it at 935 01:05:21.639 --> 01:05:26.199 all. Yeah, I loved it. That's confidence. We don't care, 936 01:05:26.679 --> 01:05:30.440 you know. We just beat Toronto Boston to get here, you know, 937 01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:33.760 and the top teams in all of the NHL to get here. We're confident. 938 01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:38.360 We're okay, okay, We'll see what happens with the Clarence Campbell Bull. 939 01:05:38.719 --> 01:05:42.519 We assumed that Vegas is going to win that series up three games to 940 01:05:42.639 --> 01:05:46.199 none, game four tonight against the Dallas. Will they touch the Clarence Campbell 941 01:05:46.280 --> 01:05:51.639 Bull or not. The Canucks history with the Clarence Campbell Bull. Stan Smeal 942 01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:57.840 touched it in nineteen eighty two. They did not win the Stanley Cup that 943 01:05:58.039 --> 01:06:02.079 year as they were going to beat the Islanders as well as as I state 944 01:06:02.519 --> 01:06:08.559 the obvious, Daniel Sedine did not touch it. In twenty eleven, they 945 01:06:08.679 --> 01:06:13.280 end up losing that Stanley Cup final and then you have the most infamous knock 946 01:06:13.320 --> 01:06:16.159 comment. But with the Clarence Campbell Bowl back in ninety four, we got 947 01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:20.800 the footage your guys, Brian Burke with the NHL head office presenting the Clarence 948 01:06:20.840 --> 01:06:26.039 Campbell Bowl to Trevor Lindon. Now, why they don't glue this thing? 949 01:06:26.159 --> 01:06:30.239 I have no idea. The lid fell off, and my understanding of it 950 01:06:30.360 --> 01:06:32.440 reading the stories that that wasn't the first time that happened. I don't remember 951 01:06:32.480 --> 01:06:39.199 it, but that's the most famous or infamous time regarding the lid falling off 952 01:06:39.239 --> 01:06:42.920 the Clarence Campbell Bolts. Trevor had some fun with it, and on they 953 01:06:42.960 --> 01:06:45.280 went to the Stanley Cup Final, which they lost to the New York Rangers. 954 01:06:45.360 --> 01:06:48.400 Remember that yet? I remember that that was and some of the best 955 01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:51.880 photos in Cannock's history are from that series. Donnie, Yeah, yeah, 956 01:06:53.079 --> 01:06:56.320 yeah, that was quite the moment it was. Trevor again had a good 957 01:06:56.400 --> 01:07:00.079 laugh with it, and you know, just just seems strange seeing Brian and 958 01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:04.800 burked him at the NHL who had worked had worked for the Canocks and moved 959 01:07:04.840 --> 01:07:08.280 on to Hartford. But of course that they knew each other. The lid 960 01:07:08.360 --> 01:07:11.599 comes off, and I guess, do we know if they welded it together 961 01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:15.039 and glued it together? Have they used gorilla glue, gorilla glue, glue? 962 01:07:15.239 --> 01:07:18.719 Yeah, what's that? Crazy glue? It's Glue's what? Grilla glue? 963 01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:21.960 You don't know what gorilla let's you see the all? I know it's 964 01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:27.760 crazy that amongst the best ads on TV. Crazy glue was good. It 965 01:07:27.880 --> 01:07:30.519 was good. The guy with the hard hat and steel beat, Yeah, 966 01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:33.039 that's it. But the gorilla in gorilla glue. You haven't seen this? 967 01:07:33.199 --> 01:07:36.199 Stir up? Just no crazy glue. How do you not see that? 968 01:07:36.360 --> 01:07:40.519 Show me google crazy glue, show a picture.

She'd been suffering from a long illness. She 997 01:09:44.439 --> 01:09:49.800 struggled with high blood pressure and kidney issues. An official word of the cause 998 01:09:49.880 --> 01:09:55.079 of death, but we're making that assumption. Her ups and downs are well 999 01:09:55.199 --> 01:09:59.880 documented. She was born You talked about this off the air yesterday, born 1000 01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:04.960 Anime Bullock and Nutbush, Tennessee. She shuttled between various relatives as a child 1001 01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:10.520 and abusive father, followed by an abusive husband, Ike Turner, leader of 1002 01:10:10.600 --> 01:10:14.800 the Ike and Tina Turner Review. She split with Ike in nineteen seventy six, 1003 01:10:15.399 --> 01:10:16.880 and if you've seen the movie What's Love Got to Do With I have 1004 01:10:17.079 --> 01:10:23.319 seen it, my lord, what she went through. She split with Ike 1005 01:10:23.399 --> 01:10:27.239 in seventy six when their group was on the road in Dallas. It was 1006 01:10:27.319 --> 01:10:32.039 a night she talked about in a conversation with Terry David Mulligan on Good Rock 1007 01:10:32.079 --> 01:10:39.279 and Tonight back in nineteen eighty five. It was seven years of realizing what 1008 01:10:39.439 --> 01:10:43.439 I was into seven years of thinking that I could not survive that to I 1009 01:10:43.479 --> 01:10:46.359 believe me very long. And the one trip that I was in rude and 1010 01:10:46.920 --> 01:10:51.000 we had one of our big explosions. And when we arrived at the hotel, 1011 01:10:51.039 --> 01:10:56.880 we actually were opening at the Dallas Hilton, and we arrived and it 1012 01:10:57.000 --> 01:11:00.319 was all kinds of chaos because we were late, and I cut a nap. 1013 01:11:00.439 --> 01:11:02.640 I mean we were late. He went to bed and I said sleep 1014 01:11:02.720 --> 01:11:10.119 out and I left. I had to leave. That was the time nothing 1015 01:11:10.239 --> 01:11:13.119 was planned. I took no baggage, I took nothing. I took absolutely 1016 01:11:13.199 --> 01:11:16.119 nothing. I had maybe a small purse with a credit card or something, 1017 01:11:16.199 --> 01:11:20.359 and that's all pretty scared. Yes, I was very much afraid, and 1018 01:11:20.479 --> 01:11:27.159 it worked up. She started a solo career that rocketed skyward with the eighty 1019 01:11:27.199 --> 01:11:31.600 four album Private Dancer. Tina went on to become a superstar in music and 1020 01:11:31.840 --> 01:11:36.720 part time actor as well. Now, as far as her connection with Vancouver 1021 01:11:36.920 --> 01:11:42.079 goes, we saw her talking with Vancouver Terry David Mulligan there, but she 1022 01:11:42.279 --> 01:11:45.239 performed in Vancouver at least seven times. I could be wrong, but I've 1023 01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:50.079 got it at seven, most notably with Ike Kerner at Basitas in East Vancouver 1024 01:11:50.279 --> 01:11:54.840 nineteen seventy four. That was an East Van nightclub I believe was on on 1025 01:11:55.000 --> 01:11:59.920 Hastings and it was several nightclubs in one and she was there. This is 1026 01:12:00.119 --> 01:12:04.600 the one I can't believe. Tina Turner. I can Tina performed in nineteen 1027 01:12:04.720 --> 01:12:12.640 seventy five at a dance at BC.

Uh yeah, 1153 01:22:24.399 --> 01:22:26.880 they're they're gonna be a whopping number. What is it, Ryan for 1154 01:22:26.960 --> 01:22:30.640 these seats? Seventy five to eighty five thousand dollars? On? I thought 1155 01:22:30.640 --> 01:22:34.000 that when they frustra Donny, weren't the sweets seventy eighty grand? Oh? 1156 01:22:34.079 --> 01:22:38.079 Yeah? And now we got we're getting to the point where the seat the 1157 01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:41.560 sweets were seventy or eighty or ninety grand. Now we're at a point where 1158 01:22:41.600 --> 01:22:44.600 the seats are seventy five you get, you get a close up of players 1159 01:22:44.680 --> 01:22:45.920 going on the ice, So I mean, come on food. Yeah, 1160 01:22:45.960 --> 01:22:49.479 they're apparently building some kind of restaurant downstairs as well. Unbelieve here's my thing. 1161 01:22:50.039 --> 01:22:53.600 So you're building this area, You're gonna go on about the seats again. 1162 01:22:53.680 --> 01:22:56.600 Here you're building this area. Where's the announcement of the area where you're 1163 01:22:56.600 --> 01:23:00.319 making an affordable section? And well, good luck with that, And well, 1164 01:23:00.359 --> 01:23:01.760 what are you doing for the guy in the end zone in the upper 1165 01:23:01.840 --> 01:23:05.880 deck. You do something for everybody, do something for everybody. In three 1166 01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:11.439 years, all the seats are being replaced. Apparently, whatever is it? 1167 01:23:11.560 --> 01:23:14.960 Just me? I missed the coliseum days when you pay five bucks for parking 1168 01:23:15.000 --> 01:23:18.000 in the alley walk up and pay twenty five bucks for blue seats and Donnie 1169 01:23:18.039 --> 01:23:20.600 and Donnie and I can relate to this. That's Jerry and camoops. I 1170 01:23:20.640 --> 01:23:25.439 remember going to a Canucks game. Seven bucks Donnie for the ticket program, 1171 01:23:25.560 --> 01:23:30.039 one dollar, uh popcorn, coke, everything within ten bucks? What can 1172 01:23:30.039 --> 01:23:31.560 you get for ten bucks at a Canucks game? Now, Donnie? Nothing? 1173 01:23:31.840 --> 01:23:34.720 Can you get water pots? I'm in the minority here, but I 1174 01:23:34.800 --> 01:23:39.960 missed the parking and side bucks in someone's garage. Yeah, just it was 1175 01:23:40.359 --> 01:23:45.039 just a slice of old than go on. I did it with the kids, 1176 01:23:45.159 --> 01:23:48.600 Yeah, yeah, the p I did it just because, you know, 1177 01:23:48.800 --> 01:23:51.479 this is what we used to do all the time, which is really 1178 01:23:51.600 --> 01:23:58.560 quite It's quite a gamble on your part parking with someone's Yeah, random yard, 1179 01:23:59.079 --> 01:24:01.239 it really is. But you know what, I don't remember anything. 1180 01:24:01.239 --> 01:24:04.720 I'm sure something. Maybe there's one example of something really bad happening, but 1181 01:24:05.279 --> 01:24:11.199 I didn't. I didn't hear anything better times Yeah, what happened to him? 1182 01:24:11.479 --> 01:24:13.840 Randy and Oliver? Is it just me? I'm so sick of this 1183 01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:17.880 you Levey Kachuck debate. If the Canucks draft Kotchuck then they finished his few 1184 01:24:17.960 --> 01:24:23.239 spots higher in the standings the next few years and Petterson and Hughes aren't available, 1185 01:24:23.640 --> 01:24:30.800 I'd take Petterson and Hughes over Katchuck. Yeah, if you're looking at 1186 01:24:30.840 --> 01:24:34.720 what Matthew kachucks in the Stanley Confinals, Yeah yeah, yep. We've had 1187 01:24:34.800 --> 01:24:40.520 one Buggle playoff run in eight years. What would you would you take Katchuck 1188 01:24:40.600 --> 01:24:43.399 over Petterson? Oh? Boy, I love Katchuck. I love both Kachuck 1189 01:24:43.479 --> 01:24:47.039 brothers since the day they entered the NHL. They're just every team would love 1190 01:24:47.119 --> 01:24:50.640 to have those two guys in their lineup. There's a lot of fire there. 1191 01:24:50.840 --> 01:24:55.600 Go Is it just me? But you guys are being confused by the 1192 01:24:55.640 --> 01:24:59.239 Canucks suspect drafting shouldn't be a surprise. It's been this way from the start. 1193 01:24:59.319 --> 01:25:02.119 Look how heavily invested we are in Europe today and twenty eighth on the 1194 01:25:02.239 --> 01:25:06.600 depth chart for Prospects Day from Couch and Lake Couch and not happy with the 1195 01:25:06.680 --> 01:25:11.039 scouting. But the scouting, Donnie, Uh, what do you say about 1196 01:25:11.039 --> 01:25:15.640 Europeans? Hold on a second, Look how heavily invested we are in Europe 1197 01:25:15.720 --> 01:25:21.960 today, meaning European player European players. Yeah, well it's interesting. I 1198 01:25:23.039 --> 01:25:25.720 know Ryan, and I think even you Rick don't want to do I mean 1199 01:25:25.800 --> 01:25:28.640 maybe Europe. What do you talk? I love? I want more Canadians. 1200 01:25:28.960 --> 01:25:30.880 Florida and Vegas have a lot of Canadians in their lineups. Las Vegas 1201 01:25:30.920 --> 01:25:34.439 has got fifteen Canadians on the roster. Don where are they going? They're 1202 01:25:34.439 --> 01:25:40.479 going to the Stanley Cup finals. Still the best hockey nation? Um? 1203 01:25:41.880 --> 01:25:47.039 Is it just me? On signed surprises hasn't come up before, But Kachuck 1204 01:25:47.119 --> 01:25:51.000 needs to put his mouth guard in properly can't stand seeing him chewing on that 1205 01:25:51.159 --> 01:25:55.359 thing all game. I thought Patrick Kane was bad for that sort of thing, 1206 01:25:55.920 --> 01:25:59.159 Like, you know, is that thing really helping you in any way? 1207 01:25:59.560 --> 01:26:01.560 It's it's gotten to this point where it's not about protection frame, it's 1208 01:26:01.560 --> 01:26:04.920 just a habit. Yeah, I don't think it's It means you see him 1209 01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:11.840 playing and the thing is not in his mouth. Yeah, but I think 1210 01:26:11.920 --> 01:26:15.720 k Chuck takes the cake. It's never I mean, I haven't relieved examined 1211 01:26:15.760 --> 01:26:18.279 what dry cidles up to, but it's never where it's supposed to be. 1212 01:26:19.159 --> 01:26:24.199 Something's working though. We'll wrap up the show in the poll question next fitting 1213 01:26:24.239 --> 01:26:30.640 some more. Is it just means Donny Donny the team on check m and 1214 01:26:30.039 --> 01:26:35.920 we talk about Tina Turner, oh close and a collaborator with David Floe bet 1215 01:26:36.079 --> 01:26:41.039 ninety nine dot net poll question.

And they're line up. The Canucks are the Flames and winning 1218 01:26:46.279 --> 01:26:50.000 right now, the Flames at fifty eight percent, Canucks at forty two, 1219 01:26:50.159 --> 01:26:55.239 fourteen hundred votes already and of course, the Canucks took over the U Levy 1220 01:26:55.279 --> 01:26:58.720 in two sixteen, Donny and the next pick, the Flames took Kachuck. 1221 01:26:59.000 --> 01:27:01.359 A lot of people saying, well he left the Flames k Chuck. He 1222 01:27:01.399 --> 01:27:05.399 probably would have left the Canucks two, but I think there was a coach. 1223 01:27:05.640 --> 01:27:09.520 We don't know that coaching issue in Calgary which led to his departure. 1224 01:27:09.720 --> 01:27:13.399 We don't know that.

We talk all the 1235 01:27:58.600 --> 01:28:01.760 times that played in Vancouver, but at least three times a cap seventy four 1236 01:28:02.319 --> 01:28:06.039 at the Old Barn There Memorial Arena. So thanks was that? Don in 1237 01:28:06.800 --> 01:28:13.039 Sycolus nus Nick? Is it just me? But shrewd acquisitions allow the Panthers 1238 01:28:13.800 --> 01:28:16.479 uh to have three of the top four picks in the twenty fourteen draft, 1239 01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:23.359 and they're all playing pivotal roles in this playoff run. He's talking about ec 1240 01:28:23.439 --> 01:28:29.000 Blad, Ryan Hart and h Bennett Bennett. Yeah, boy, I love 1241 01:28:29.039 --> 01:28:31.479 Bennett and he's playoffs at physicality. He's not the biggest guy in the world. 1242 01:28:31.520 --> 01:28:34.239 Well no, he plays an edgy game. But do you remember what 1243 01:28:34.399 --> 01:28:39.680 happened before the draft in twenty four He couldn't do a push up, couldn't 1244 01:28:39.680 --> 01:28:42.920 couldn't do a pull up, and everybody made a big deal about it. 1245 01:28:43.199 --> 01:28:45.840 I think he's managed to rebound pretty nicely. I don't think there's a guy 1246 01:28:45.880 --> 01:28:48.560 in the Vancouver media sports that could do a pull up, Donnie. I 1247 01:28:48.600 --> 01:28:53.439 don't think so. Not nobody in this studio. Maybe deaf, that's it. 1248 01:28:53.600 --> 01:28:58.479 He takes the Crocs off. He gets yea, I said, Croc 1249 01:28:58.640 --> 01:29:00.760 by the way, go probably be the worst draft pick ever by any GM. 1250 01:29:00.960 --> 01:29:03.920 Was Benning taking your Levy over Chuck? Just stupid? Quit them? 1251 01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:06.119 Joe not happy. Hey, listen, I gotta write the worst ever. 1252 01:29:06.279 --> 01:29:09.600 Come on, well, we'll hold it. It was.
