weekend? Oh? It was great. It was lovely outside. I cut
the grass. That the smell of fresh cut grass, Donny, you can't
beat it. Well, I'm somebody who suffers from hayfeatlergy, so you can
beat that. That smell got the weed eater out. It was all good.
I do I do cut the lawn, though I know you do.
I managed to, you know, fight through it, okay, um,
I wanted to talk about the big sports Monday coming. It's gonna be a
great night for one right nights versus Stars Heat at Celtics. But I cannot
believe, and we'll get to that in a bit. I cannot believe the
amount of criticism we're receiving for our bet ninety nine dot net poll question.
It's that it's the basically we borrowed the tweet that I put out last night,
and I don't get Maybe we can read some of the comments, but
here's our bet ninety nine dot net poll question. Artist Sea Laws named tournament
MVP at the World Hockey Championships. Latviat surprises, everybody shocks, the USA
wins a bronze medal, Canada gets the gold. So I don't know.
We thought we'd throw this a question out and there's a part of the criticism
that I love, and I'll get to that in a second. But Bett
nine dot net poll question wreck every game every story begins at bet ninety nine
dot net. Oh boy does it ever? Our Bett ninety nine dote that
poll question what would be the best for the Canucks right now? When it
comes to Archer's Sea Lovs MVP of the World Hockey Championships, continuous development,
eighty three percent, trade wall values, high trade demp go Sea loves number
one, and a lot of people taking shots at Henderson because they think he
came up with the pole. That's the part of the criticism that it was,
really and John trying to find some of the some of the comments here,
at least some of the ones that we can read. Uh. But
um, look, he's tournament MVP, and I know you have no respect
for that. Stop but I never said that. Um. But here's the
thing, Archer's Sea loves Canucks property. Yeah, spent most of the last
season where abbots for tournament MVP at the World Championships. This is a significant
accomplishment, big time, right, twenty two years old. Here he is
get getting the award at the at the end of the tournament. Boy,
this is Donny twenty two years old, MVP of the tournament, MVP and
Appsford this year and you can't say enough good things about him. His development
has gone through the roof everybody and what the Canucks should be happy. They're
doing cart wheels. You know they're doing cart wheels right now. Jim ruthword
as we speak is doing cart Jim Rutherford is doing cart wheels here. He
should be the whole the entire staff should be doing uh cart wheels. This
is a pretty significant tournament by the kid Donny and Dolly Twitter account at Donnie
and Dolly. Here's some of the comments were getting Yeah you want such a
stupid ass question from dumbrova Rick from Richmond. This one is wild, guys,
Scott am terrible poll question. Paul, I don't know, okay,
doesn't doesn't bottom line, Little Rye strikes again. I'm the one who came
up with the pool ques, so I'll take blame. And Ryan had little
to do with that other than writing it out. Um. People in Vancouver
in connoct nation for so long. We need bold moves, bold moves.
You know, how do we improve this roster? Here's a guy who increased
it. No matter what you think of the whole value. I don't know
to what degree he increased his value, but he certainly increased his value.
Just a thought, let's throw it out there. Throw it out there,
like you know, our Arthur C. Law's value is increased. Hey,
what about what about trading him? While his value has increased wall his value
is higher. Yeah, I don't think that's that that's out of the realm
of possibility. Or I don't think it's a question that other people have thought
about either, right, or maybe maybe you say, we really believe in
this kid, and maybe you can get a bucket load for for dem call.
Yeah, it's not like they're this roster is you can't mess around with
it. They haven't made the plass for a gazillion years. Yeah, why
why not consider a bold move like that? And and donnie keep all your
options open. You never know. I means in their pursuit to get rid
of salary cap or create salary cap space, they're gonna have to get creative
because what they've been trying to do in the last year and a half it's
not working. They can't get rid of bad salaries. So you know what,
get creative? Well, never know, trading sea lobs. I don't
think it's gonna get you um a lot in terms of a player that can
help you now, but maybe a draft pick. Because the other complaint with
the Canucks is Okay, when they need to increase their cap space, they
also need to increase their prospect pool. Ye, maybe you do that with
the Sea Lobs or absolutely, you know, I mean, it's the way
out there. But but trading dimical I always I always refer to this when
it comes to this, this type of situation where player has increased his value.
Do you remember the twenty thirteen Stanley Cup Final, Boston versus Chicago,
Yes, I do remember, and Dave Boland score was the goal was at
the end of game six, it was game tide. Looks like it was
going to go to overtime, look like the series was to go the distance.
He scores late in that game, like with a minute left right or
under under a minute left. And you know what the Blackhawks did, Like
a couple of weeks later, or two or three weeks later, they traded
in Toronto for three draft picks. They bowl would probably tell himself he wasn't
worth that, but his value was increased and popular player in Chicago, you
meant him, nasty guy got under the opposition skin. They traded him to
the least with three draft picks. I don't think any of the draft picks
worked up, but one was a second rounder. I think it was a
couple of fourth rounders. They wouldn't have got that before that moment. You
know, sometimes you'd jump on and here's on a player when he's increased his
value, whether it's warranted or not. And here's the other thing for you,
Donny. There's a lot of teams looking for goaltenders right now, and
you know what, they might turn to Vancouver and say, hey, guys,
you guys got two, not one, but two good young goaltender.
Here's what I want to say about sea Lobs. Obviously, the Canucks are
very happy with him. I'm told it really doesn't change the Canucks views on
sea Lobs. They felt he had a good shot of playing in Vancouver next
season prior to this tournament in Latvia. I just think ultimately what he does
a training camp will decide things. If he earns a job, great,
Donnie. If not, go go put him in Abasper. Let him face
thirty forty shots every night. If the Canucks after Christmas are in a position
where they got fighting for a playoff spot, he's not gonna get any ice
time. You know, they're gonna overplay Demco to get in the playoffs.
So there's a lot of factors here, but let the kid play. I'd
say put him in Abbasper. Let him develop. He's only twenty two.
Be patient. They were patient with Dempco. They should be patient with this
kid. I think that's the smart movement. But by the way, yeah,
the criticism on Twitter and into the Laney's Okay, Tire and Langley inbox,
love it, love it. I love that people cared that that much.
I love that they're some of them are ripping into big Rye. He
needs that punk. That's the best part of it. Is There no problem
with that at all. Keep them coming, folks. Absolutely, we're glad,
you're you're glad, you're so engaged. But just I don't just just
out of the box thinking. I don't think it's out of the realm of
possibility. I don't know what Jim Rutherford is thinking. You probably don't bold
move you you brought it up before the show. Both about them since Mike
Gillis, there have been a whole lot of them. Okay, So they
win the World Championships. Team Canada wins the World Championship. Their lineup includes
Tyler Meyers and Ethan Bear, and good on those two Canucks defensemen for going
over there committing themselves to Team Canada. I don't know if they were their
first choices, but they they're on that roster. They get a gold medal.
It's something you can talk about with the grandkids, with the kids,
the grandkids, and you know, good on them. It'll go down in
family lore for both both of them forever and ever. So good on them
for doing that. But Ethan bar got hurt and so and he missed the
last two games. He missed the last two games. What's the status of
his upper buddy? Upper buddy, Ethan Bear? You know what part of
the upper body? Well, you know, I'm not good at this stuff.
Like obviously it's from the waist up us. That's upper upper body.
That's all I can say. Upper body. You'll figured that out after a
few years. Huh, upper body. He's going to be reevaluated once he
gets back to Vancouver later on this week, Donny, and good on Tyler
Meyers by the way. Uh he tweeted out, I think, uh,
hey, not bad for the worst Canadian team at the World's uh, something
to that effect. He was just having a little fun with the with the
with the fans. Um. There's probably some criticism about the roster. Not
a lot of NHL guys went to the Worlds this year, Doney, the
Russians weren't there, so you know what, I know what he was saying,
but he was just having a little fun. Former Canucks prospect Michael Carconi
was one of their best players. Well that's it, right, that's it.
Twenty seven years old and you know he's he booted around pro hockey for
for quite a while. He was great over there. It gives you an
idea of the of the of what was gone if the if the Americans would
have got all the Canucks players that are on the Golden twenty Seconds. I
mean, you know, look at all the Cannuck players that said no the
Americans. The only one that went over was Garland. What happens with Ethan
Bear and Tyler Myers? Where do they playing? Excellent? And I say
that because there's been trade talks Ronnie Tyler Myers forever he has that bonus Cone
is coming up. His cap hit for the finally year of his contract is
still six million dollars. Maybe something they want to get rid of. Ethan
Bear, meanwhile, is an RFA. Do you expect both of them to
start the season in Vancouver? Donny, I am I'm really surprised, especially
in our Delaney's okay and Tyl Langley inbox all they hate for Ethan Bear.
Look this guy Jim Rutherford mentions Ethan Bear in his season ticket holder You think
he mentioned him in the season ticket holder a letter if he's not going to
be here. There's a gap. They're trying to work on getting the gap
closed. Everybody wants Ethan Bear gone. I don't understand it. He's a
right shot d They spent six months trying to get the guy. Now everybody
wants him gone. He's got our brights. They got to qualify him.
It could be a one year deal, it could be two or three.
Uh, they're working on it. There's a gap they're trying to get.
But I I am really surprised. Here's one right here. Uh get rid
of Ethan Bear. He is not what we need. We need more physical
presence, tru what's that where Brian Burke used to use recommenced. That's it
right there, not medium sized, no non physical defenseman unsigned into the unsigned
unsigned. So I'm really surprised the amount of people, Donnie the one don't
want Ethan Bear back. That's not the plan of the organization. The plan
is to sign him. Obviously there's a gap. They're working on it.
Yeah. Ethan Bear played a significant part of the latter part of the Last
Sea of last season for the Nyacks with with Quinn Hughes. Yes read at
the end he did, how are you doing? Ryan? By the way,
you're good. We'recovered from the criticism. So yeah, I mean this
is what happens. The the the amount of people like offended at the idea
we can even have the discussion is just shocking to me. Like, like
again again, first of all, let's preface it by saying love the passion.
Yeah, sure, but I mean, like, we can't have a
discussion. Look at the franchise, Look at the team. I get they
don't have very many bright prospects, Like I understand that, but at the
same time, teams capped out. The owner apparently doesn't want to do buyouts
if you want to hold on the eleventh pick, like, how how are
you fit? Like they legitimately can't go into next year with their current situation.
So I'm talking, is to me something that can happen? You can
say, sure, no, I'm not going to get a first rounder from
no. I mean, unless there's some team that's like super desperate for goaltending
and they want to rule the day. Like again, you talk about teams
don't even have a bunch of picks, ye, right, you know,
would you want to roll the dice on it? I believe that less than
I believe to talk about though, and we talk about creative trades for the
Connects drafted it never happens. But I I have more belief in the thought
that they would package up a bad contract to Chicago and eleven to move down
to nineteenth and maybe get a little something else to kiss after that as well.
I believe that more. But I'm with you, like, yeah,
Art Seals increases his value, Yeah, maybe, and they've got Demco.
You want to prove your roster or your prospect pool, here's an opportunity.
Brings it up. I don't think it's crazy to talk about it brings it
up all the time, Like how many chips does this team have to play?
Seels is one of them. And if you're in the camp of saying
it, no, no, it's way too earthy to keep them, you
know whatever, that's fine, But to see, oh, you can't even
talk about this is ridiculous. Well, it's perceived as negative. It's a
negative. Media added again, Well, it's been eleven years. Holding a
second, it's been eleven years of bleepockey in this market. Give us something
to be positive about it will be positive. Well, it is positive.
You're saying that as a player was increased your value. Maybe you can get
something to help out the team, to the entire organization. That's a positive.
That's a positive. That's a positive. It could be a positive.
And nobody remember Alvin said or there was the story that there's no untouchables on
the Canucks. You know there's no untouchables. Now Patterson's an untouchable. Uses
but you know, seven of the last eight years no playoffs. Nobody should
be you know, you shouldn't. You should be thinking about all options all
the time to get out of this mess. We have to break all right.
We're having some technicals diffic culture. I think we had what the kids
call audio break up a little bit. Okay, but Derek on getting a
lot of messages, You guys have never sound better, so that's interesting.
Really. Yeah, Okay, here's what's coming up on the show. We
want to talk about the big, big sports Monday. You know, we
need we need some sort of Derek, you could maybe you could work in
this when you get the audio figured out for our show. But we need
some sort of echo effect. What was the what was the what do you
bring up last week? Reverber? No, yeah, big Sports Monday,
Monday Monday. We need that right well, the blowout sale, that's what
we were talking about last week. I don't know, Maybe you work on
that, Derek. I'm sure it's a huge priority for you. We're trying
to get rid of as much echo as possible, and you want to bring
echo into the show. Yeah, but no, just some sort of equalization
to make it sound bigger than ballsier. Yeah, just do it the way
just did it? Just say it over and over and up. Yeah,
that doesn't have the same effect, you know. Yeah, uh DTMZ is
it just me? Coming up in the next hour, Craig Button is gonna
join us TS and Scotting Director. Craig is in count Loops right now from
the Memorial Cup, the well traveled Craig Button, Golblazers, Goldblazers, Big
win last night, Big Ride, the Twitter Guy coming up later this hour
and coming up next to BC Lions play. They lost in saskatchwhen Rick Campbell
considered it a win. It was a preseason game. There was a weather
issue near the near the end of the game, but he was pretty happy
with what happened, despite the final score was thirty twenty seven. Julio Caravetta
was there in Regina. He's going to talk to us about the BC Lions.
He's next Donnie Delhi. The team my check Donnie and Dolly. The
team is supported by able Auctions dot CA. So those in your business where
you can help. Regan Assis Catuent Saturday Ryder Verga Lions lineback twenty twenty two
draft pickup. Believe a third rider. He's from Regina, went to University
of Regina. Pick six eleven yards for the BC Lions. However, they
end up losing that game to the Riders by a score of thirty to twenty
seven. You know what I want to talk to, Julio. By uniforms,
those uniforms, those fog Grays. The debut of the fog Grays for
the Lions looked out standing. As we bring in Lions analysts, Julie,
care about it, Julio, thanks for doing this, sir. How are
you. I'm good, guys, How are you very good? How did
the fun? You know what I'm like, Julio, I love my unit?
Yeah? Yeah, how do how do they look blast from the past
and from a blastroom of the past, because we when I played, we
had those fog gray pants. We didn't have the unit the tops, but
the pants. Uh, you know, I love them. They look great.
Um. I loved how the teams are kind of you know, changing
it up a little bit and and trying some new things. And uh,
I was you know, I mean I thought they looked fantastic and uh um,
you know it's too bad it was a little bit wasn't a better result,
but uh, you know, I mean for a first preseason game,
I think everything went pretty well. Lion's host Calgary Thursday at BC Place.
They'll wear their road fog grays in that game and then the Yeah and then
they'll for the home opener they'll debut the Blacks. So what was your takeaway?
What stood out? Who stood out for you? Julio? On Saturday
you mentioned writer Marguy. I think you know, I mean, he looked
he looked very good, see very comfortable. Um, and uh, you
know, showed himself very well. And you know, I think everybody was
talking about aid everhard, you know, the young receiver from the University of
Wyoming. I think what makes this such a great story is just that he
was completely overlooked by everybody because you know, it's it's it's typical of football.
And I think especially with you know, statistics, you know, means
so much. What's your forty time? What do you banch? All those
kinds of things, and Aiden was this, you know, I mean,
he runs a four six, not very fast, but he's just one of
those kids that is in the right spot at the right time. Um,
really understands defense. That was one of the things that jumped out at me
was, you know, when he caught the ball, he really you know,
he was turning and moving away from defenders like you know when zone coverage,
when everyone's got an area. Like when he catches a ball, he
knows where the next defenders coming from, and he spins and goes away from
those kinds of of of things. So that to me really jumped out.
And and it's not that you mean he had what I think he had seven
catches for over one hundred yards one hundred and four yards, I think,
but um, I think it was the kind that how contested they were.
There was a couple of really spectacular catches, especially when he came out of
his break and actually got tripped up and was actually stumbling, um and almost
looked like he was gonna fall, and then was able to recover and catch
the ball. Uh, it was pretty pretty spectacular. So he jumped out
at me. Javani Robinson. Actually it's a really cool story too. He's
the he's a young man who played professional basketball, didn't play much. Yeah,
and and and you know, I mean he's six to eight. He
played basketball and he had five targets, caught all of them, and uh,
you know I was impressed with him, Like you know me, obviously,
you want your receivers to you know me catch with your hands. But
there's you know, and I know he played basketball, but you know,
I mean in football, because he hasn't played very much. The tendency a
lot of times is for the ball to come into your body. You allow
your body to kind of be that backbone and and you know, for him,
you know, everything was out out in front with his hands and he's
got big hands, and uh, I thought he fared very well. Uh
so, you know, those two guys offensively. I would have liked to
have seen a little bit more from the two running backs, uh, Antonio
Williams and Smoke Mizelle. But uh, you know, I think that it
maybe is a little bit more of an indication up front. You know,
they played a lot of young guys. I'm sure there was a lot of
miss assignment. So I'm excited to see what those two guys will do on
Thursday when most of the starters will start to play up front. Julia no
Vernon Adams. In this game, they went and played the other three quarterbacks.
Your thoughts on Dane Evans, Dominique Davis, and obviously Jet Ericson was
cut this morning, so out of the quarterbacks, look, I thought,
you know, I mean Dom, I think Don Davis. I thought that
he just had that one mistake, um, you know where he kind of
he was stepped up into the pocket and I think he wanted to throw kind
of more across his feet or his body, and his feet weren't sad,
and he kind of lofted one up there that got picked off. I'm sure
he wants that one back, But you know, I think there was a
couple of throws there too that he had drops. But Dane Evans, I
thought, looked exactly what you would think veteran quarterback does in a first preseason
game. You're playing against a lot of rookies. You're playing against man,
demand coverage and simple zone because that's how you're being evaluated. So you want
your starter, you want a guy who's a veteran, you know, to
be you know, upwards of eighty percent completion. I think he was thirteen
of sixteen, four hundred and sixty two yards. He had a touchdown,
he had another touchdown. I was dropped, So I was, you know,
I mean I was. You know, it was what I expected from
from those two guys. Right, you're veteran quarterback playing in the first preseason
game. You expect to put up pretty good numbers. They did. They
didn't disappoint, so you know, the next test is going to get a
little bit more difficult. But I thought that they both looked good and comfortable.
We've talked about the offense. What about the defense. Coach that they
gave up too many deep balls. Yeah, you know that they had.
You know, again, they played a lot of man and man coverage and
you know when you do that, you mean you you and you're doing it
for a reason. You're doing it because you want to see if the guys
can cover. And you're right, they did. They did throw a lot
of deep balls and you know, to Saskatchewan's credit, those those passes were
right on point. But at the same time, in order to make the
football team as a defender, you've got to be able to find a way
to make that play right like they're in position, but they just weren't able
to make, you know, that play where you can get your hand up
there or get a knock down or or something that's really going to separate you.
And I know a few of those guys this morning were let go um.
And so that's that's the reality of of pro sports, especially in the
CFL, where you really only get one game if you're a rookie, uh
to impress, and you know, it's a pretty brutal process. So you
get you get that one chance and if it doesn't work out for you,
you're out on the streets. So uh, you know, not the not
the not the best for some of those young guys, but just the reality
of pro sports. Hey, I'm Julia, I should know this. Jonathan
Congbo. I'm not sure if he played on Saturday, But what is he
gonna do for What is he gonna do for the BC defense? For people
who don't know, two time Great Cup champion with Winnipeg played in the NFL
the last couple of years. Lions have signed him, what's he going to
do for them? Yeah? And the local guy too, right, he's
you know what the Holy Cross High School. Um, you know, he's
he's a he's an impact player really, you know, he comes off the
edge. He's a big, physical guy who's got tremendous speed and quickness.
And I think the other big part of this is, you know, Jonathan's
a very he's a very good football player. But when you add that he's
Canadian, that brings another dimension into it because you're playing a position traditionally that's
not occupied by a Canadian. In the Lions case, they have Jonathan Congbo.
Now they have Matthew Betts and they also have David Minnard, so they
have three guys who are playing the defensive end position that are more than capable
of starting for you. And in Jonathan's case, all the physical attributes you
bring I just got a chance to talk to him briefly, and he just
seems like a very very nice young man who's really committed to the team.
They've been around great Cup champion culture in Winnipeg, and when you bring that
kind of mentality, it seeps through everybody. And same for Michael Coulture.
Right, you can never had ad enough of those kinds of character, guys
that know what it takes to win championships and do nothing but improve your locker
room. So you don't only get a great football player, you're also getting
a guy that's going to fit into your locker room and really kind of I
think raise the level and the flexibility now for Neil McAvoy and Rick Campbell racial
wise, because they have guys all over that can really as as Canadians that
can play. So anytime you have those kinds of guys, Donnie, you're
gonna you're gonna create more flexibility for yourself rosterwise, each and every week.
And that is a very very key component in all of this. Before I
let you go, Julio, assume you are up in Camos. How busy
is that city right now? Memorial Cup lines camp, It's awesome to be
there. Well, I actually I spent the week up there. I just
came back last night. Okay, but you're right, the Memorial Cup is
is is going on. I know the city is really super excited. I
also was very very disappointed because I don't know if you know this, but
Thomas Millet's the goalie for Seattle is my neighbor. Wow, so you know,
I mean, I really wanted to get a chance to see him play,
and unfortunately they played on Friday night we traveled, and then they're also
they're playing again tonight and I wasn't going to be there, so unfortunate for
me, But I'm really pulling for Thomas. He's such a great kid.
And the atmosphere up there, you're right, is tremendous that everybody was talking
about the tournament and looking forward to it. Team Canada goal Hey, Julio.
Okay, and I realized you didn't weren't able to see games here,
But what can you tell us about the baron of beef situation? He can
loops the baron of beef across from the hotel. Well, we across from
the hotel. Come on across from the hotel we used to stay at there
in came Loops. Every year was a place called on the Rocks that had
the best baron of beef I've ever had. You know what I'm talking about.
You know it, I know, I know. I'm sorry. I
apologize that. You're right if you would have said on the Rocks baron of
beef. There you go. Oh okay, bang, I got you.
I thought that was the name of the place. No, No, I
uh right, you know what. I didn't go there this time. Oh
my god, I can't believe it. I know I didn't go. We
went, we went down the road there. There's another new restaurant to just
down down the street the other way that we tried. So um. But
yeah, unfortunately I didn't try the baron of beef. But I do remember
that now. You were very very impressed with that. It was awesome.
So y'all thanks for this. We'll get you back on soon. I appreciate
it. Guys, have a great day, okay. Julio Caravetta, Ryan
was up there for the baron of beef. No, the baron of beef
is great there. And I can't believe Julia, he's he's bsking us.
He remembers the baron of beef there. I can't believe he didn't go back.
He's a big fan of Baron of the beef. Julio all right,

by the way, it just seems every goaltender that he comes near h improves.
Pleasant problem. They've got a prospect that has improved greatly to the point
he's a World Championship MVP, no matter what you think of that tournament.
And hey, at the very least, maybe you get something from him if
if you indeed, I think his value is increased to the point where you
get something back significant or great for the future and the timing. He's younger
than dem go you don't. Maybe Thatcher leaves the franchise and you've got his
replacement, absolutely, darni And nothing bad from this, No, no,
there's not. They've got two quality young goaltenders who not many teams in the
NHL have that. I mean, you know the Canucks. That's it looks
like. That's obviously one of the strong points the team when it comes to
backing up Dempco next year, though they might have to do it by committee
like they did last year, Donnie. Last year they used three goaltenders to
back up Dempco, Martin, Martin's, Delia and uh Sea Lobs and maybe
they do that again this year. Delanney's okay, Tyn Langley inbox, I
know you've got some business to take care of, Rick, Yeah. I
want to get this in. MTB Sam, MTB Sam. Hey, Donnie,
I couldn't help. But notice that your previous employer, TSN we all
of us used to work for them, didn't mention Archer Sea Loafs MVP Win
did sports Net. I'm not sure about that. I wonder if they would
have overlooked it as well if he were a prospect for the Leaves. Oh,
big time. If Archer Sam you're bang on there, You're bang on
Sam because if the archer Selaws was a Maple Leaves prospect lead story, lead
story, and it'd be ten minutes long. But because he's in Vancouver and
he's a Canucks prospect, they don't care. If they don't even I bet
you the people in Toronto don't even know Sea Lobs is property the Vancouver Canucks.
Yeah, they're too worry in Toronto about the fact that Kyle Dubis and
Austin Matthews, you know, are represented by the same agency. I think
they've focused on that time for the last ten days. Yeah, it's just
yeah, it is. It's it's a it's a local station. That's that's
what it is. Same the same as sports net s. Lobs was a
big story. Donnie, don't kid yourself what this kid did over there in
Labvia. Look at the the pre today in LABYA fifty thou visuals of the
visuals of the pre Look at this? How is this not wonderful? I
mean, Sea Lobs A big chunk of why this is happening is because of
the kid. And that now I keep these pictures up if you don't mind.
Ryan. Before the show started yea Ryan Henderson, YEA millennial over there
know it at all, says to me they should do away with the bronze
medal and all competitions. So you look at these pictures and you say to
yourself, I think the bronze medal means something to some people. In fact,
a large amount of people. This is for a bronze medal. With
bronze medal, it was probably a bigger deal because you know, they beat
the mighty USA shocked them as a matter of fact, and the way the
game went, they wanted in overtime. Overtime. Um, I gotta ask
Craig Button this when we have won the show at eleven o'clock. I think
this guy's like hockey more than we do, like like adust to God.
It's just that that's going a little far. The first time ever, Donny,
they played in the medal round. This is a big deal for that.
Yeah, but you say that it doesn't count because the tournament was weak.
I never said that. Oh my goodness, Ryan, don't put words
in my mouth. I never said that. I said a thought of anach
Others didn't go the water down the product a little bit. I'm not gonna
lie, Russia is not there. No, but we all we all hear
all the time. You know this is a bigger deal for the Europeans that
it is the North America. Yeah, there's proof right there, right there.
They want a bronze medal. That's a beautifulga by the way, I
won. What do you think the interest would be if the World Championships were
played over in North America? Um? Would it wouldn't be great? No?
You don't think so? No? If they let's say they were in
Vancouver, yeah, like right around now? I mean I know you you
can't because I mean, who knows you schedule you schedule them in Vancouver and
the Caducks going a Cup run. You know, you have the World Championships
sharing the building with the Canucks. That's not ideal, But I do know
it's it's a good question. I just I just wonder if it would if
if there would be interested in the event or not, and if would it
would it change? Guys thinking? You know what? It might be an
idea for Francesco the way the franchise is, buildings open, Yeah, I
want to you know, in fact, it would be a good move,
I think because through the years things have often gone wrong for the Caducks.
Yeah, schedule the World Championships, yes for May, yes, right,
yes, and then guaranteed the Caducks will go on a run and screw everything
up for that friend, Yeah, not franchise, but for the organization.
Yeah. NHL playoffs are still on, so if it was in North americaud
be a tough goal, right, And he just mentioned we're having some fun
here. No, I know, but he just know. But there's also
a really good point you made. You know, you took your kid to
your hockey game on Sunday. No one was there. It was so much
beautiful weather. No one wants to be in a in a in a hockey
rink right now, you know it. Remember the World Juniors last year and
Edmonton in August, Remember how it was. It was poorly attend There were
you know, pricing issues, yeah as well, Yes, for sure.
Business, do we do it yet? No, No, We're going to
do it right now. And look at this with the wildfire season upon us,

and Halifax for the hundred with the double if hundredth anniversary. Yes, okay,
that was in I believe it was two thousand and seven. It was
the only time he was played in Canada. Yeah, I knew that it
was. And I don't know. I should look that up, get the
attendance figures for each and every game and get back to me on that Ryan.
The fact it doesn't stand out maybe tells us something, all right.

old video game days you pull the cartridge out, pull on it it,
put it back in and sixty four that sort of thing. Oh yeah,
But and like we have issues with our fridge, which I've talked about a
lot. Sometimes I just hit it and the noise goes away right right now.
And now you have the fridges where you knock on it and you can
just see what's inside of the fridge. That must be the stupidest idea ever,
just another thing to go wrong. I Yeah, that's how I feel
about it too, Like how lazy are we now? Plus that you can't
open a door? Well, is itically environmentally more friendly? Because you don't
open the door, you don't let the cold out right, you don't make
the fridge work harder. Instead you just knock on it. But how stupid?
Sure the world is saved, How stupid do you look? Going like
yeah, yeah, what have you knocked on it and there's a face or
somebody said hello, Well, then you'd be in trouble. That's a good
point. That's a good point. Big rather Twitter Guy, Donnie and all.
They are sponsored in part by Sarahtoga Motorsports Park, home of Sarah.
This is where we need the echo Saratoga see is happy to have audio of
any kind. Uh. Two great events are at Saratoga Speedway this weekend.
Saturday it's Sarah Say Saratoga Speedway, a hometrack Heroes event. And on Sunday
it's the autocross or autocross competitors from across the island at at an echo or
mess it up. All the details are at Saratoga Racing Dot c A and
I should mention June the tenth big event happening. It's the Island Warm Event
Craft Brewer Festival. In the afternoon drift competition had a good combination drift competition
in the evening. I'm gonna hope that the drivers aren't partaking, said Kraft
Beer Fast Event. I'm glad that Big round of Twitter Guy is brought to
you by Sarah Sarahtoka Speedway because it leads into some motorsports visual the weekend ind
five hundred, Indianapolis. So there was a crash involving Felix Rosenquist, okay,
and Kyle Kirkwood. Kirkwood's the one that had the main issues that Kirkwood
is Kyle Kirkwood. Yeah, so these cars collide, Derek, you can
run them whatever. Cars collide here? Oh no, sorry the visual there
we go. Cars collide here, So you're gonna see the first vehicle vehicles
Felix, who spins out, he causes the crash. Here it is here
he goes into the wall. This is not great for the podcast, I
know, goes to the walls. Kyle Kirkwood. The pink car there,
boom hits him. I don't know if you see it or not. You're
gonna see a replay here in a second Kyle Kirkwind And thankfully he was fined
by the way, thanks to the halo, because this was a very scary
crash. Yes, you're gonna see the slow mo here. Watch the pink
vehicle come up alongside the tire. The back left tire flies off the vehicle
goodness, over the fence, narrowly missing the grand stand. Look at this
it hits this parked car in the parking lot. Look at the damage to
the front end of the vehicle in the parking lot, smashed headlight, massive
dance scratches, the whole nine yards. The million ways this could have been
if this car, if this tire goes into the grand stand, if somebody's
around the car too. Yeah, I mean, this is the Indianapolis five
hundred. There's a million people, scary, a lot of people there,
and yet nobody injured and both drivers as well not injured because again, a
very scary crash, but I couldn't believe that. I've never seen that before,
the tire flying off at that rate of speed into the grandstand, and
again thankfully all the fans avoided contact with it and there were no injuries,
and they talked about doing something to make sure that that doesn't happen again.
I mean, like or I'm sure there's safety measures in place, but that's
the thing unusual. I mean, it's like baseball with the fall balls exactly.
It's shocking to me it took that long to have fencing up around there.
I mean, you look, though, the fence is quite high,
right, and it's curved over which you again you're expecting that, Yeah,
you know it's going to catch anything, right, But this is kind of
a fluke event that it was able to clear up and and head into the
parking lot. Yeah, very lucky, very lucky. Scary scene at the
but again thankfully no injuries reported. And I know Donnie was glued to the
F one race in Monica over the weekend that Max verstapping one, so it
was in the middle of the night, so I didn't know. I check
the results though after the fact. You don't like racing, you didn't.
I never said you feel that it's not a great event to tend outside of
the party. I think that nobody puts on an event better than people involved
in racing. The actual competition. It's not. It's not for everybody.
It's not. No, it's not. Did you go to the most an
Indie Rik, No, you never went. Really Well, we had to
cover it. I mean did you go with him? Well, did we
went to get the interviews and stuff? You worked? Yeah? Yeah,
well we all worked it, Little Ryan. It was. It's tremendous the
organization and how accessible like for the media, each and every driver was,
no matter how it was so easy to get, like Paul Tracy's got good
year. Yeah, we're back in the day like he was. It was
so nice and so they're selling themselves right little as an autograph book. At
home. I met Paul Tracy, Mario Andretti. Wow, others, Wow,
what's the one? Uh? What's the one? Uh? Not I
want to say castidy Cat Media. Yeah, wasn't he married to somebody?
I don't know, but he sure made a big impression on you. Yeah,
exactly. Mario Andretti was the big one for me. They're just like,
oh my god, even at your young age you knew Mary Andretti.
It's like it's a very like that's a great. Yeah exactly, it's a
great. It's and Mary Andretti, by the way, a big big hockey
fan. Yes, um, like some of his grandkids play. It's just
it's one of those names where you know, if you see somebody speeding to
this day, you know Mary Andreddia there on Highway one. Right. You
still use it even if you're young, don't you. Yeah? Yeah,
I think you do. I think you do. The number one name you
go too, Yeah, when you see somebody going fast, totally totally uh.
Donnie mentioned it Big Sports Evening happening tonight. Stars of course trying to
force a Game seven against the Golden Knights in Dallas. But we have a
Game seven in the NBA. I take you back to Saturday night in the
craziness in Miami, final seconds, the Boston Celtics were able to force a
game I still cannot believe that they were able to get this often time,
but they did. They were able to force a Game seven as the Celtics
last second, literally last second shot, last middlesecond shot goes in, and
they forced a Game seven tonight. So again, I think everyone knows statistics
by now, teams down three in the NBA looking to come back and win
a game seven series three times, the record is oz and one fifty one.
Yell, never happened. It's never hundred and fifty one teams. Wow,
he's ever done it? Of teams down three zero in the series in
NBA history. The stat that I was going TODs this has happened three times
before, Yes, where a team has been down three but they but they
lost. However, all three of those teams were playing their seventh game on
the road. Sufflix are at home tonight yes, yeah, but maybe that's
not such a great thing. Although they did win their last game at home,
they're five and five at home. They haven't they have been great at
home in these playoffs. It's been We've talked about it. They have immense
amount of talent, but every now and then, early on in this series,
they just seem like they didn't care. They didn't seem like ap whatever,
they're losing whatever. And Miami had him and now they let him get
off the mat and the ball gets rolling really fast, really quick. And
here we go with Game seven tonight. And even in that game they were
up ten points late, yes, and they allowed Miami to come back,
setting up the heroics at the end. By the way, I was,
I was running around kids, errands whatever, Saturday, so I listened to
the game in the NBA network they had the Miami broadcast on. You would
have thought that was a routine play in the second quarter of a game in
I don't know, November. Yes, just the muted response by the homerism
and during American I kind of like it. It's there's personality there. Very
side was it was like just such a you know, a dull moment if
you're listening to the broadcast and yet it was outstanding. It's like the Boston
Bruins guy when the Panthers right, same thing, Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
Jack Edwards, he might be the biggest owners at all worst of all
time. Yeah yeah yeah. Coming up next we stick with hockey. We
talk to Craig Button, Tis insurrector of scouting. He's in Kamloops Memorial Cup
getting underway over the weekend. We'll talk to Craig next. It's Donnie Know.

com. TS and Scottie Director Craig Button is working the Memorial Cup up in
cam Ooops. Camoops Heavy showed today. Craig joins us. Now, Craig,
thanks for doing this, sir. How are you? I am really
really good. Hey, the Memorial Cups going on. We should be I
should be doing it live for the Memorial Cup. Oh yeah, we should.
We should. We'll talk to your boss is about that, Craig.
But we'll have to do with you being in cam Oops and that's just fine.
What kind of job is Camlops doing hosting the Memorial Cup? Yeah,
fantastic. You know, I you come to Camloops over the years, so
many different times. I was here in nineteen ninety five when the Memorial Cup
was here last and you know, it's one of the great Jews. Your
franchise is in the THHL and you know, when you we look at the
history of the franchise and the success they've had, and you know, the
stars that have come through the Camloos Blazers organization and started in the NHL and
starred for Canada. You know, it's just the excitement, the enthusiasm,
all all everything from from every area of this tournament and the city of the
organization has been fantastic. And you know it doesn't hurt when the hometown team
puts up ten on the scoreboard on a Sunday afternoon. That that puts everybody
u into a really good state of mind, a lot of a lot of
enthusiasm. And I've heard the song taking Care of Business a lot of a
lot of a lot of times over the years. Ten times it played in
the arena. Yesterday the Blazers fans were rocked in by one of the great
bands of all time, not just great Canadian bands of all time, great
bands of all time period. Bat Oh, how do you explain Peterborough being
and two and a couple of lopsided losses there, Craig, Well, if
you if you go back and look a little bit at the OHL final,
uh and and even during different stretches of their playoff run. You know Michael
Simpson, their goaltender was outstanding no accident. He was the MVP at the
OHL getting the Wayne Gretzky ninety nine trophy. But you know, you get
up against better competition, you're you're able to push a team that that plays
with essentially three lines, uh you know, into spots where you can take
advantage. And you know Michael Simpson had to make fifty plus saves twice in
the in the OHL final versus London, Well, London doesn't have the same
firepower as uh as the teams that they're going to face here. So you
know, you you have the Seattle Thunderbirds or a top team the Caneli's Pleasures
with lots of talent, they're going to take advantage. And that's what happened.
And you know, Peterborough is a is a competitive team. They're they're
a team that didn't get here by accident. Don't get me wrong, goaltending
is an important part of it. But you know, when you get up
against competition that stretches you a little bit thinner and can take advantage a little
bit to a lot greater extent, you're going to run yourself into problems.
And I think that's where Peter browepinds themselves, and that being said, all
they have to do is win one game on Tuesday versus Quebec to give themselves
a chance to continue on in the tournament. But I think it's a tall
task for them right now because they're clearly the fourth best team here. And
when I say clearly, clearly the fourth best team, Yeah, Craig,
I was watching cam Loops Quebec Friday night. I was surprised. I'm not
gonna lie to you, but was that Was that a case of that long
layoff really hurt cam Loops that night? Sixteen days off, Rick, I
don't think there's any question about it. You know, you can practice and
you can stay sharp and everything that goes and the midday enthusiasm. Sean Cluston
talked about trying to manage their energy and trying to make sure that they were
ready for this. But all the teams coming in here, you know,
you start to look at you know, cam Loops team, and you know
it's offer sixteen these other teams we're having to go on and play in a
championship series and ultimately win. So what I would say is is their saw
wasn't as sharp as it needed to be coming into the tournament, but you
know, playing Friday and losing you know that game. But then I don't
I wasn't surprised one bit that they came back with a with a real vengeance.
I didn't think they'd win ten too, but wasn't surprising that they would
come back and really show how sharp they were. I was talking to Logan
stan Covid after the game and he said, oh, yeah, he goes.
The layoff you know, affected us, and you know, you start
to play against teams that have been playing, you know, in the recent
days. He was, and it was noticeable, and we were just about
a half step behind, and we knew we had a lot more together and
they certainly did that on Sunday. Yeah, Craig, let's go to another
tournament overseas. I want to ask you about Archer sea Loves MVP of the
World Hockey Championships. Now, you know, this is Vancouver, so everyone's
got sea Loves backing up dempcre ahead of DEMP go. You know that's going
to happen. But he's only twenty two, you know, just let him
develop at his own pace, Craig, you know, on that with that,
Rick and I think that you know, Archer's going over there and playing
as well. I mean it's phenomenal. I mean, if you're the Vancouver
Canucks, you know, you have to feel really good about your goaltending when
when you see this goaltender that you're drafted later in the draft really blossom.
And Latvia was tremendous. It's a tremendous uh, you know, getting that
bronze medal and Latview is a great hockey country. But you know when you
have Thatcher demp go and Thatcher had his injuries, but when he came back
last year, we saw that Thatcher is a clear cut number one. So
the way I feel about it is what a great opportunity to work another goaltender
in there. He had some games last year. You know, he goes
and performs exceptionally well at the World Championships, and now he can come back
with with with greater confidence and and also knowing that he doesn't have to take
on a burden and he might not quite be ready for I think that's the
ideal situation. And if he runs into a little bit of a patch,
you just let them go play some games over a stretch of like let's say
thatcher's on a run. Send them down and let him play some games in
the American Hockey League and then get them around the team. I think that's
one of the great benefits of having your development team so close by in Abbittsburg.
Yeah, we want to run these pictures for our viewers of the celebration
in Riga, Latvia. I don't know, it's a fifty thousand people show
up to celebrate their bronze medal victory over the Americans. Just looking at these
pictures again, this is for a bronze medal at the World Championships. Do
Latvians and this is all due respect to our great nation? Do they love
hockey as much as anyone on the planet, Craig, Yeah, why yes,
with capitol letters. It's a passionate hockey country. They do. They
love their they love their hockey and they love, you know, seeing their
team participating. I mean they were co hosts of this tournament. I mean,
I'm watching the Sweden Latvia quarterfinal game and like I'm watching it on TV
and I've got I've been to Latvia. I've been to World Championships in Latvia.
I've seen all those fans. Uh, you know how excited they are
with their with their national team, and I could feel it through the TV,
like you know when they beat Sweden and then they carry on and they
get a bronze medal, and we say a bronze medal. I mean what
it is is like you think about Tenata gold, Germany silver, Latvia bronze,
you know, okay, like you know, you put yourself ahead of
like what we consider to be you know, the hockey powers Finland and Sweden
and Czechy and Slovakia. I mean that is a that's the first medal they've
ever won an international competition, first medal. So this isn't just about a
bronze medal. This is about you know, winning a medal for the first
time ever and iih events and know how much they care about it, and
certainly you see the enthusiasm and the excitement they have in Riga and Latvia,
and I think that it's great for hockey and certainly Latvia and a lot of
people probably don't know that, Donnie, but but it's a fantastic and a
really deeply passionate hockey country. And Craig quickly, if you don't mind,
as we switch gears, what has allowed the Dallas Stars to come back against
the Vegas Gold and Nights Dallas without Jamie Benn, who they get back tonight.
Yeah. Well, you know that is something when you look at the
series, and we looked at oh, it's three nothings, so that you
know that I've got two wins. The first two games went to overtime and
Dallas could have won those games too, So you know the games were close.
Other than the four nothing game. Uh, you know that dave Vegas
the opportunity to take the three nothing lead. The games have been close.
The games have been really really tight. I mean Pavelski gets the game winner
and game in game four to send it to game five, you know,
to get the two third period goals. Deeper down the lineup, I think
these are two even only match teams Donnie and and and And that's number one.
Number two is Jake Hartinger, who was who wasn't very good in game
three, you know if he'd find and I didn't think he was very good
overall in game one, and certainly the overtime goal was one that was like
you know where you at. But when when Jake is up in his game
and playing it at the level he's capable of he's he's a top notch goaltender.
And I think that his stability in the neck has allowed them to to
to not get behind the proverbial eight ball in a game and have to chase
it. And I think that's a big part when you're playing a team uh
in Vegas. That's that's really good. But I think these are evenly matched
teams. Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see a game seven on Wednesday in
Vegas for a chance to go to the Stanley Cup Final. All right,
you're in Kamloops. There's a bar there called on the Rocks. They've got
a bearer to beef, a beef dip there that will not your socks off.
Go try it. You can thank me later. On the rocks.
It's called Okay, okay, done and finished, and next Tuesday I will
give you the scouting reports, right, Craig. If you mentioned Donny and
Donnie ten percent off the bearon a beef, okay, I will do that.
No, are they gonna charge me ten percent extra or ten percent off?
Yeah, they might be extra. They won't let you in the place.
Thanks for this, Craig. Thanks, I have a great day appreciate.
I don't buy that, Julio. There's no way he didn't remember having
the baron a beef. I don't you know he's just playing. He's mind
you as on the road a lot a lot of restaurants. Maybe that's that
played into it. I bet with Julio on the road you can eat.
Okay, We're gonna update the rather controversial bet ninety nine dot net poll question
I don't I also want to talk a little across Oh yes, if you
o mind for on Vangar Island all over the Lower Mainland, Donny Dolly the
team? Why Jack Donny and Dolly the team is supported by able auctions dot
c A closing your business We can help Bett Ninny and I dot net poll
question of the day as Archer's Sea Lofts named tournament MVP at Hockey's World Championships
over in Finland and Lafia laughy with that bronze medal Canada with the goal.
We've talked more about Lafia winning the bronze the law than we talked about that
Canada winning winning gold pull question. Yeah absolutely, Tyler Myers and Ethan Bear
winning gold. All right, our bet ninety and I dot Net poll question,
what would be the best for the Canucks right now when it comes to
Archer's Sea Loves the World Hockey Championship, MVP continue his development eighty three percent.
We just heard Craig Button said, let the kid play, let him
develop, don't rush him. The Canucks never rushed Dempco and they painting off
in spage. Donny, let the kid develop at his own rate. Um,
d j T keeps Sea Loves. This is Delaney's Okay, Ter Langley
inbox keeps selves, but he still needs development. Sea Loves now is at
Spencer Martin level. In three to four years he can take over from Thatcher.
Hopefully we'll have Thomas Millich as Sea Loves back up by then. Yeah,
Julio's neighbor. Julio's neighbor, Thomas and Millich. He hasn't been drafted
yet, Donny, but the hope and belief is h he's gonna get drafted
in this year's NHL draft. Okay, Um, you've got some business and
then I want to talk some lacrosseco Yeah. Absolutely. Looking for a gift

Yeah, and one of the players of Pavelski said, we're gonna make
sure we're in this series when and Jamie comes back. And they did it.
They won two massive games. Yeah in Dallas tonight. Um, well,
let's talk about that for a second. I wish the NBA and NHL
could talk to each other a little bit more, just you know, with
me and mind and the Pacific time zone. The NHL game starts at five.
The NBA game heated Celtics Game seven five thirty be nice if there was
an hour difference, Yeah, or even more, even more, yeah,
more, Yeah. I just a thought, think of the people I'll be
flipping in more at BC. You only have one screen in your man cave.
Still we're listening money bags. Well, how many of you got three?
Okay? See yeah, but you're throwing that in our face. I
don't have three screens. I don't have time. But you don't like the
NBA anyway, it doesn't matter. I'm gonna be flipping back and forth.
I'd do it the traditional way. I flipped back and forth, and you
know the remote it says a previous channel. That's what I do. You
don't think it'd be a good idea to maybe ten you stagger it a little
bit more? Five five thirties, not bad, but I think an hour
difference would be would be better. Leave you Ryan. Back in the day,
we had one television set, Donnie, with two channels at CBC and
BCTV. That was it. And you're sitting here with three TVs throwing it
in our face. KOs not kvos and we we we got in the French
channel too, remember, Donnie, the French channel, And here you are
throwing three TVs in our face. Unbelievable, saying, young kids, this
is what I mean. The young canned back in the day. Yeah,
Rick and I were our fathers remote. Yeah, and we used to get
up and change the channel. Don't remember the knob. We had to get
up and change the channel with the knob. I remember the knob. But
you know what I mean. I spoiled, spoiled kids, a big I
can't wait to get home today, you know, you know, maybe have
a little nappy poo wake up and I'm and they set those two games,
just set an alarm. It'll be a big thing. Okay. Um.
A few pictures here from from Friday night. You know I'm an all across
guy. I know you love it as well, Rick, Western Lacrosse Association
Friday and night. Look at the crowd at Victoria Shamrocks winning over the Langley
Thunder. Thunder expected to be a powerhouse this year, but the Shamrocks beat
them late. That's the winning goal we're looking at here. Think about about
a minute left twelve eleven for the Shammys over the Thunder. Over they lost
in Maple Ridge seven four on Sunday. There's a The next WLA game is
on Wednesday. It's New West the Salmon Bellies. You're stomping ground ust at
Langley at the lac. Let me get this in. You got in your
stuff. Salmon Bellies took their season opener fifteen six against the Timberman of Nanaimo,
of Nanaimo Queen's Park. Beautiful. Yeah, amongst the best uniforms,
seven sports, great name, great un for the whole nine yards. Okay,
um, do we got time for anything else? Right now? Let's
do this. Did you see Matthew Kachuck, Yes, on the on the
NBA on on t AT with Shack and Kenny and Charles and Ernie and the
boys. So Matthew Kachuck, what was it a couple of days ago?
It was Saturday before the last game of the Yeah. Uh that that series,
that Boston Miami series and see Miami. So Matthew just do next door
and goes over and checks and checks things out, ends up on the T
and T broadcast. This is the best show on television. It's right well
next to ours and anything else anything else. Chat Check runs. But the
job they do the inside crew NBA on TV with those four gentlemen is just
outstanding. So Matthew Kachuck is there. He looks about fourteen years old,
next like a fourteen year old kid next to next to them. But I
love this. Kenny Smith asked him a question about the most important quality,
important skill for a national We got this clip. We're good, we got
it Ryan. Oh my mister, I got three televisions. Yeah, yeah,
I got three TVs. I'm set. I'm sitting here setting it up
for five minutes about it before the show. Were good. Oh, unbelievable,
unbelieve Okay, but let me just say this that you know, for
years and years I always thought you always thought everybody thought. And it's definitely
important that skating is the number one skill you need, the number one attribute.
You need high qualities absolutely to be a productive player in the National Hockey
League. Shane Molloy from Hockey Prospects Radio was on our show a few years
ago and you go, no, no, it's it's everybody is so good
these days. It's skating. It's it's about hockey sense. So Kenny Smith
asked Matthew about, you know, the skills it takes to be a productive
at the National Hockey League level. I love Matthew's answer here here check it
up. That's the game hockey. I go, what is the biggest skill?
Is it the skating to get there or the stick to make it get
there? I think I think the hardest thing is like just the overall hockey
sense, like you have to be in the right spot. It's like Wayne
Gretzky always said, like he wasn't going to where the puck was, he
was going where it was going to be. And I think that's the biggest
skill. And um, guys can skate. Everybody can skate, Like I
don't think there's a huge difference between guys that play in the NHL when it
comes actually skating and guys that don't play in the NHL. But well,
you're able to do with that, and um, I think there's a lot
of guys on our team that have that full package and that's why where we
are. I just thought it was it was a great answer, and I
think things are different when when Bobby you are played, he could outskade everybody.
He also thought the obviously thought the game really was same with Bobby Hulls
some of the greats, you know, Gretzky comes along and things kind of
change where you know, the brain became the most important part of part of
the body. And I think, well, it's Matthew kuchuck it. It
was a hell of a lot more about hockey than I do. But he's
right, Like you watch games now. All these kids are such great skaters.
They all go they skate all year long, they go to clinics and
all this. They're all great skaters. But it's the guys who can think,
think the game, who realized that you can't blow through everybody like you
could in the in the past if you're a really good skaters. The guys
who think the game, who passed the puck, who get in the right
position, who are courageous, who go to the dirty areas like Matthew could
chuck. Those are the guys that excel. There are exceptions, obviously,
but I think hockey has really changed that way. Hockey sense is number one.
And I remember when Shane and wife has said that, I kind of
is that? Is that true? But then you see Matthew him say what
he said on the weekend. I think Shane's bang on. Not everyone in
the NHL is a graceful skater. Donny, you gotta do other things.
You gotta have more things than your tool belt. If you're not a great
skater, you better do two or three other things. Really well, everybody
rips brock Besser all the time he's not a great skater. Well, guess
what, he's got good hockey sense. He's got a good shot and he
stays in the game because he thinks the game at a high level. Okay,

level suburbs, but inside the show depicted an sprawling spread known for a long,
open staircase. Remember that the staircase photos that shows a run ended in
nineteen seventy four when the long time homeowner died. In twenty eighteen, HGTV

the Panthers the most Canadians on the roster. Vegas has got sixteen. The
Rangers had three out in round one. Uh, just a Canadian stat to
get. I can't read the rest, but you know what I'm saying,
the roster with the Canadians, there are the teams that are going the farthest
down. He's got a damn good point. Okay, he talks about me
getting excited, but I should point out that our discussions in the studio,
in the breaks before the show. You're the one who pointed out all the
Canadians on the roster of these teams that are doing well. Yeah right,
yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely Vegas has got as we both sound like
don Cherry. Yeah, and then there's nothing wrong with that. And it
is every year the team with the most Canadians goes to farthest. Is just
the way it is. Let me throw this one and before we go to
break, JT. Van Isisle. Is it just me? Or is the
Unreal West Coast Express series by Scottie Rintoul must listen I forgot as a podcast
I must. I forgot how good those teams and that line was I recommend
to all the listeners. Couldn't agree more again on real the name of Scottie's
group, the West Coast Express Series Scottie Rintool of our favorites. We'll wrap
up the show next. Donnie delayed the team on check Archer's Sealoff's World Championship
Tournament MVP Latvia Bronze, Canada, Gold, Germany. I got the silver
right to talk about that. Our poll question Oh the day keep saying oh
the day, But our poll question of the day bet ninety nine dot oh
boys, whatever our bet ninety nine dot net poll question what would be the
best for the Canucks Right now when it comes to Artur Selavs, eighty three
percent say just let him develop. The Canucks are obviously doing cartwheels about the
kids play. But I think before he went to Latvi, I've been told
he was gonna be uh, he was gonna get a good shot at that
backup spot to Dempco anyway somewhere. It's just this is just gravy, Donnie
gravy. So any thought of signing Delia again and or and or bringing in
a veteran backup. I think Delia's and there has last time I checked,
there's been no contact with his Asian. He did a solid job, twenty
games done, and you know what, I think he's earned a one way
contract. So I mean that could be an issue somewhere. Yeah, somewhere.
Might not be here, Okay, a business. If you missed any

Come on, man, we'll work on that. Is it just me
or is that your downco? The more valuable trade ship we should be talking
about this is from Lionel in Victoria, not necessarily now, but later next
season or soon after, as the Canucks become more comfortable with Sea Loves as
a proven replacement. Dempco has got three years left, right, Yeah,
he's got three years on a very and you know you can criticize the previous
regime to five mill You can the previous regime, Donny, you can rip
them all you want. One of the best things they did was get Ryan
write that script due Demko long term cost control, very good contract. Yea,
