How are you lovely? Couldn't be better? We're gonna talk about the
Abbotsford Canucks in a bit and about what happened in the National Hockey Lea playoffs.
Will do that either in this segment or at some point during the show.
Troy Stacher is going to join it a little bit later. But we
want to start with some sad news and that's that. Peter klima former national
Hockey League player was such a big deal when he defected from what was then
Czechoslovakia to North America. He's passed away at the age of fifty eight.
No cause of death, given it's well documented that Peter had his off ice
issues. We're looking here for our television viewers at Peter Clima's most memorable NHL
moment. Nineteen ninety Stanley Cup Final oilers versus Bruins and Peter klima third overtime
he'd been benched bench. This was his second overtime shift. There we see
John Muckler, who's left us as well. He be benched him and didn't
see much Ice. Didn't see much Ice ends up being the overtime hero.
I'll never forget that, and he'll I'll always be remembered for that moment.
But also that defection was a big deal. He was the first player,
and this was in the mid eighties' first player to defect from again what was
then Czechoslovakia to an American NHL team. He ended up with Detroit and that
deal. Do you remember the Red Wings had passed on Jimmy Carson during Carson's
draft, and it was that was a big guilt and Carson had a very
Jimmy Carson, despite what Vancouver fans remember about him being what the Canucks,
had a really good start to his career, back to goal, back to
back fifty goal seasons. He went, He went from la to Edmonton in
in the Wayne Gretzky deal. Detroit got him in that trade that involved Peter
Klima, and it was the thinking was that Jimmy Carson was going to explode
and explode back in his hometown and never worked out for him. But Klima
went there, Adam Graves went to Edmonton, Joe Murphy and they were a
really important part of probably I would think the the one Oilers, the Oilers
five Stalent Cup champions that doesn't championships that doesn't get talked to. Abou Usasky
wasn't there, Gretzky had left. Gretzky had left, and then John Muckler,
Messier, Kleima, all these guys won that stand on the Cup against
Boston. He wore number eighty five darning because that was the year affected.
The other thing about Kleima going back is the helmet and you're better, you
know, you know this stuff better. It was a Jofa and he stuck
out. It was just you always knew Peter Kleima on the ice because of
his helmet, and he was such a wonderful talent. Close to eight hundred
games. He was on the right team because Curry wore one of those helmets.
Curry Gretzky had one of those helmets as well. But you're right,
they really really stuck out. He stuck out. He always knew when Peter
Klima was on the ice because of the helmet. But very sad news out
of the Czech Republic. Yeah, eighty nine, A claima goes from the
Red Wings with Adam Grays, Joe Murphy and Jeff Sharpell's uh to Evanton for
Jimmy Carson, Kevin McClellan and a draft pick, and that worked out for
Evanton, got themselves a stand the cup. And we talk about Peter Clema
having off ice issues. Joe Murphy's had a struggle as well, but back
in nineteen ninety that that that team, they really contributed in a big way,
and Needles say Adam Graves did. Of course, Adam Graves goes on
and plays for the Rangers and helps the Rangers knock off the Canucks in nineteen
ninety four, and you know, I always give that team credit because you
know, Gretzky left and everyone said, ah, the Oilers are done.
They win the Cup without him. They win the Cup without him, which
was massive back then. Yeah, not not long after, not long after
half I think a year and a half later, Peter Clema leaving us at
the age of a puppy, fifty eight year years old. God bless him.
Okay, tough term. We're gonna take it. Abbotsford beats the Calgary
Wranglers last night three two. It was a must win situation. So they're
still alive, the Abbotsford Canucks. They get a chance. I could can't
imagine. Well, the atmosphere the last night. I think we got some
pictures here. The atmosphere last night in Abbotsford was outstanding. We're to get
to the highlights, said a bit Derek. Okay, I was talking about
the fan shots here. The towels were waving. Beautiful scene. Almost sold
out last night. Donny Derekson A bit of a tissy right now, this
one, right, I think squad he arrived late to the studio today.
Yeah, I think squad rally tweeted this out and look at that scene,
you know, and it makes you wonder done, like, what the hell
were they think and why wouldn't they leave Utica way earlier than they did?
Well, that's not my first thought. My thought, it is thought is
what the hell was Calgaries farm team doing an Abbotsford for a couple of years?
Yeah, well here's an irony here them playing the Calgary Wranglers in this
k at that HL final look at that scene. So three two Abbesford over
the Wranglers. Derek had a tough time coming in today. There were skytrain
issues. I'm not sure exactly. Yeah, he's not the only one with
traffic issues. See if he gets this right now, let's go with the
highlights here, Direck. There you go, Abbotsford Center, Abbotsford BC,
picking up the score one nothing Calgary. Midway through the first Knucks power play,
well landin Holdlander, he locates Line's Carlson. His first of the playoffs
is Tristan Nielsen gets into a dust stop one and one. Let's go to
the second period. Christian Malanin's point shot goes off, a Wrangler, hits
a Levi and a GWG and goes in past Dustin Wolf two one green.
Third period, Tristan Nielsen grabs a loose puck left side to Kyle raw Ki
right NIO three one and the tally by the former Golden Gopher of Minnesota.
Wranglers reply, Nick d simone from long range beat Spencer Martin. That's as
close as they come. Abbotsford knocks off Calgary three two, Game four Friday
in the Fraser Valley. If Abbotsford wins, Game five will go Sunday in
Abbotsford. I gotta give Abbotsford a ton of credit here. First of all,
Calgary's a top team in the American League, Donny, and first two
games over time and now they win. Give these guys credit. And the
other one is that they've got the best goaltender in the league. They got
the MVP and Dustin Wolf. So hey, look, this is a really
good showing by Abbsburg. They're well coached by Jeremy Colton. This is really
voting well, Donnie. The young kids are getting great experience and pressure games.
They're in round two. There's a lot to like with what's going on
in Abbsburg. And let me just say this too, when it comes to
Kyle row and he's had a cup of coffee with Florida and in Minnesota in
the National Hockeyague, he's thirty years old. Justin Dowling's down there as well.
They have some veterans down there with NHL experience, and every time you
hear you know, Jeremy Carlton talk or anybody with the Connection organization, it's
important to have those veterans there. You know, I'm not saying they're hanging
on, but they can certainly teach the kids down there a lesson or two
about perseverance. And no matter what you want to say about those players,
to have played in the National Hockey League, you are an incredible athlete,
and those players help them be competitive. And as as opposed to losing eight
one every night you're banging on, you get to win hockey games and maybe
do something in the playoffs. So those those players down there, there's not
a lot of them, but they're very important. You nailed it. You
can't go with twenty one year old kids in the American League, just like
in junior you can't go with sixteen year olds. You need good nineteen twenty
year olds and the same thing in the American League. You need those guys
when you're thirty years old to teach these kids the way as they leave junior
and go into pro. Very important, those veteran type guys. Okay,
we showed the one Calgary goal there or the one we showed them on the
highlights, it was from long range, not indicative of what Spencer Martin was
up to. Made twenty five saves. He's been alternating. This is gonna
be the focus of our poll question, which will introduce later. He's been
alternating with Arturus selves the last twenty one games for the baby connection. We'll
see what that means going into next year for the big team, the NHL
team. But here's Spencer Martin, Derek, We're good with this. Skytrain
memories have left you. Here's Spencer Martin post game on his team's performance.
Like, we've been playing well, so it's not that we had to change
too much. But we loved I loved our energy tonight. It was almost
like we just had to keep it under control and just and just bring it
home. Twenty one games. You guys have alternated in that consecutive games.
How is it going through it in a playoff? Situation. It feels like
it might be a little bit different than railer season. Yeah, no,
matter what, you just have to be a pro. I mean, I'm
sure both of us want to play every game, so you know, so
far, we're both answering the bell when it comes. Let's introduced the pull
question right now, because it has to do with that subject. It's the
bet ninety nine dot net poll question every game Rick begins at bet ninety nine
dot net. Oh boy does it ever? The bet ninety nine dot net
pull questions shoes run gets it up. Hello, Hello, our bet ninety
nine dot net poll question. Spencer Martin and Archer Sea Lobs alternating starts and
Abisburg? Who should be the Canucks backup next season? What's down the middle?
I've never seen this before? Thirty three point three thirty three. This
is, of course, only fifteen votes at this point. Yeah, you
gotta be joking, but you're right. We haven't seen this book. We've
never seen this before. Lickety split down the middle? They should sign.
Somebody's the third option? Okay, they should sign. They don't got any
money to sign anyone, right, not a penny to spare. And last
time I checked in Donny on Delia. They haven't talked yet with him about
his future in Vancouver, and he's at UFA. Yeah, exactly. For
people who aren't aware of this, colon Delia would be the obvious answer.
I think for a lot of people, well he would. I think he
would be for a lot of people, give him the way last season unfolded
in Vancouver. He is a UFA. Yeah. I'm not sure if he's
going to be back, but the general consensus amongst people who follow the Canucks
closely is that this was going to be Archer Sealaf's job because Spencer Martin struggled
somewhat at the National Milkey League level, but he's picked his game back up
in the American Michy League from all reports and indications. Yeah, when when
Martin went down, Donnie refreshed my memory. Was Boudreau still here because he
struggled for a two three four week period, You're supposed to be the extra
stuff. The Codocks about five hundred coaches in the last three years. It's
hard to keep track of who is you know. Anyways, he struggled,
he went down to the minors and he's down there. But I like this
decision last night to play Martin because you go with the veteran and there's a
playoff gate, you gotta win to stay alive, and you go with the
veteran. It was a good move last night, smart move. But they
have been alternating, so even though they won, we assume that it'll be
Sea Loves on Friday. Whatever works. And there's a lot of people who
feel, when it comes to alternating goaltenders in the playoffs, which is unusual
in the world of professional hockey, that that's what the Bruins should have done,
right, But with Swayman and Allmark, Allmark wasn't a percent, wasn't
He hadn't played all that many games relatively speaking during the regular season. Right
when he played forty eight forty nine games. You think it'd be more for
somebody who is likely or is a strong candidate to win the VIZ. And
that's what they should have done. It goes against conventional thinking, um,
but it's probably what Boston should have done. Hindsight is twenty twenty Canucks are
doing that and it's working out. And let's not forget in this city,
the Canucks did not rush Dempco. Donny he marinated in the miners. They
brought him out at the right time. Now he's your number one Goaldie.
There's no rush with Sea Lobs. You don't have to put him in a
situation he's uncomfortable with. Let him work his way up. So Abbotsford wins
Game five Friday in the Fraser Valley. And yes, Ryan Abbotsford is in
the Fraser Valley. Oh no, no, no. We got to get
this out of the way before the show. Around nine thirty five. Why
do you what do you put? Nine thirty five? Taylor asked, uh,
why would you do this? Why not you always ripped me when I
asked dumb questions. Fraser asked, no, not Fraser up Fraser. Taylor
asked if Abbsburd is a part of that? I was joking, Ryan,
get in here. Taylor asked if Abbsburg is a part of the Fraser Valley.
Unbelievable putting his highlights together and yes, yeah, Well you guys were
doing nothing, And this is what happens when you don't you live in the
mountain exactly, don't go out to disconnectedly Chilliwack and abs Bird is the Fraser
Art. Okay, okay, I want to move off that subject. Stanley
Cup playoffs last night. Okay, Hurricanes Devil's. All you need to know,
as I predicted, the all red battle are all red and black battle
boring. All you need to know from that game. First of all,
it was five one. All you need to know is what happened in the
first period. Devil's had one shot and look, I respect the heck out
of Rod Brenda Moore in Carolina, but you know, it's it's tough to
watch. I know they love it in Carolina. It's not the brand of
hockey I love to watch. I did one shot for the Devil's hats off.
I'm not saying this is this is a negative for them in terms of
playing winning hockey, but it just was not. It was not entertaining at
all watch it. I'm sorry. I know which games to watch and which
ones not to watch. In contrast to that, you know what happened in
Vegas and staves in Vegas, but not in this case. We all saw
it. Six four Vegas wins. They get the empty. Nutter was in
doubt the whole way, and they were doing a pretty good job against Connor
McDavid, not so much against Leon Dry Siddle I don't think I've ever seen
this before. No, but I'm sure it's never happened back to back nights
in the playoffs where a star player gets four goals and Joe Pavelski is a
star is a start in Dallas. But Joe Pavelski gets four goals, they
lose. Leon dry Settle four goals, they lose. But I wanted to
focus. We got time for this. I think on this, this second
goal that Leon dry sidles Derek. We got this that Leon dry Siddle scored
right at the end of the first period. I mean, things move so
fast skill in NHL hockey, and to have the presence of mind to slow
things down and realize exactly clear what's going on off Laurent brosois back and end
he knew exactly what he was doing. But it's just one of those one
of the many talents that Leon dry Settle has and an underrated talent. Gretzky
was like this as well. And I'm not comparing dry Settle to Gretzky,
I guess I am, But just to have the games slow down and to
be able to do that, you know, time running out. It's an
NHL playoff game. You're on the road. Just amazing, just a just
an amazing, amazing play. And you know, um, I always remember
us having Shane malloy on from Hockey Prospects Radio. Is he's still doing Hockey
Prospects Radio, author of the Art of Scouting, knows a hell of a
lot more about hockey than any of us, well maybe you two. And
he said that the number one quality that scouts look for isn't I just assumed
it's skating number one, But he made the point that the kids today,
when they get to this level or near this level, they all, they
all all. The number one quality they look for is hockey sense. Sense
and to be able to slow the game down like that, I think the
game and realize the situation. It's It's an amazing talent. Among Leon dry
Suttle's other talents. This was a double take goal where you look at it
and you go, Okay, rewind it. I want to watch it four
more times. You know what a beautiful, beautiful hockey player. He is
best player in the playoffs this year by country mile. Isn't just me DTMZ
coming up in the next hour. Troy Stature, former Canack spent last season
with Arizona and Calgary, two really interesting franchises. We'll talk to Troy about
that is going to be a UFA. Would he be open to coming back
to Vancouver. We'll talk about that with Troy Pride of Richmond Minor Hockey.
That's just after eleven o'clock later this hour, Big Ride, the Twitter guy

How are you, sir? I'm good. You know, I'm disappointed
that Ryan Henderson didn't put up a picture of Don Taylor stadium. Oh you
know stadium? Can you show the tweets? Yeah? So, so I'm
in Vegas. I'm in Vegas and my son seven on seven tournament. We're
in Vegas. We're in a place called Basic Academy. And Henderson, who
would you would think that a Don Taylor stadium would be at a place called
Basic Academy. Yeah, but you know, you're you're no nonsense, simple
getting your guy. Yeah right. Yeah. So so it was good.
It was fun, Yeah, it was. But as soon as I saw
that, I'm like, wait a minute, Yeah, well, I try
to keep that secret, but seriously, who is this guy? Who is
Dante? You'd have to look it up. I you know, I remember
there was a down Taylor that used to play for the Lions number ninth course
in the early eighties. Yeah right, head, yeah, yeah, yeah,
and don Taylor if you if you look it up, I believe was
also director of the first Planet of the Apes. Proud moment for those of
us named John Taylor. Love the bucket hat by the way, far hand
before we talk about the NFL and the CFL. The latest on SFU's football
program, Well, the latest is we're still waiting for a decision from the
judge. We fogged for an injunction that went to court. The arguments were
heard on Monday. I was out of town, so I didn't get a
chance to go. But another quard room was fairly full with a lot of
SFU players and parents and stakeholders. And it's gonna take some time, but
you know, we would imagine by the end of the week or early next
week we're going to get a decision. Now, as I've said many times
for us, it's not going to be the start of the finish, right
if we win the injunction, there's still a process to go through where you
know, we can get long term buy in from the university to bring the
program back and not just do it on on a short term basis, and
you still got to work with them and all of those types of things.
Unlikely they would appeal, but they could. And even if we lose,
we've still got other remedies that we want to pursue because we're not willing to
let this go quite yet. But certainly a momentous points in the battle will
be the ruling from the judge on the temporary injunction. That's going to matter
a lot, and you have to believe that the university you're just trying to
wait and they think that'll make it all go away. But if they if
they haven't learned from our group right now, they haven't been paying attention,
well, all the best. With that farhand, you know how we feel
about it. NFL Draft, you're in Kansas City, So let's talk about
what Seattle did in the first round at number five, Devon Witherspoon defensive back.
At number twenty, Jackson Smith and Jigba a wide receiver. You weren't
a fan of the first choice of him. If I've got that right farhand,
yeah, look, and I guess that it was. It was so
important for them to make that pick at five because they haven't picked that high
before the Schneider Carroll era. So I really felt they needed to address a
need. And quite often, look, it's always the big debate, right
best player available or positional need, and the best players of the were some
pretty good ones still available at five, and they had a massive need along
the defensive line. Obviously, they had some concerns about Jalen Carter, the
defensive tackle from the University of Georgia, but he goes a few picks later
to Philadelphia, and that's an organization that also does its due diligence right,
and they wanted to picking him at nine. And then you know, maybe
they had some concerns about the foot of Tyree Wilson, the edge defender there,
but he got taken a couple of picks later by Vegas. So they
passed on two pretty special guys. You know, there were some other guys
like Miles Murphy from Clemson and a few other places that were first round great
guys that maybe trade down and get some value to still address your need,
but also get some value with some picks, but they just decided to take
the best player available. Now, I'm not criticizing Devin Witherspoon. I think
he was an exceptional player. I think he's the best corner available, and
you know, you can make a case for him being a top seven or
an eight selection. So I don't know that they reached, but you know
they picked some corners last year and they improved in the secondary last year.
So for me, if they if they didn't necessarily get to address the need,
if it was me, I would have traded as far as Jackson,
Smith and Jigba at twenty. A lot of teams have tied Seattle to JSN
and he is an exceptional player. Right The draft has been very receiver heavy
the previous two years. I think there were twenty three receivers taken in the
first two rounds of the twenty one and twenty two drafts, and six and
seven in the first drive, respectively. So here you don't get the top
receiver until Seattle takes one at twenty, which starts to run a four receivers
taken at that point. But Smith and Jigba, they've been trying to find
a number three receiver for them for a long time to compliment Metcalfine Lockett,
and they've tried to do it. Later in the draft during free agency and
they just haven't been able to do it. This kids can't miss. So
not only will he be your third receiver, but within a couple of years
he probably elevates above Tyler Lockett to be your number two receiver. But you
still wind up with, you know, three guys that you can hit with
a number of different areas of the field and targets. It made them a
lot better offensively. Geno Smiths had a much better place to go there.
So far as CFL team's gonna watch the NFL draft to see who got drafted
who not Canadians and the VC lines took six out of their seven picks on
defense. Why so many on d well? I think they need more Canadian
depth on that side of the ball, right because you've got, you know,
up front right now, you've got Ben Haladaic and bow Lacambo in the
linebacking corps, and then you've got David Menard and Matthew Betts at defensive line.
So you know, they haven't been able to really get a Canadian impact
d lineman in a while, really not since Brent Johnson in terms of guys
that they drafted. So they drafted Nathan Cherry lash year didn't work out great
in terms of immediate impact. I think they still have some belief that they
can get something there. But you know they need more defensively, right because
if you can get more now, you can play more Canadian receivers. You're
not obligated to necessarily play so you can play more American receivers. You're not
forced to play more Canadian linemen than you want. Right. The more you
can build on d the more flexible you are on offense with your ratio.
So right now, you know, I don't think they want to start both
Lacambo and Haladic. I think Haladic probably starts and Lacambo becomes a rotational guy
with Josh Woods being a key piece at linebacker there, you know, defensively
or sorry on the edges. You know, Bets was good. Menard's not
getting any younger, Lacambo's not getting any younger, so you've got to try
to work in and get those next guys. So they got Francis Benny,
who many people had as the number one player could be taken, right.
I know, Dwyane Ford thought he was a viable candidate to go number one
overall, and you know, the fact that the lines were able to get
him at nine was really really impressive. And then in the second round they
get Simmer and Baggy Yogo, who's a really long defensive back that's fairly new
to the game. He didn't start till he was sixteen years old, so
he's got incredible length, athleticism and coverage skills. But in the CFL you're
a Canadian dB, you know, like the teams play more zone, so
he's got to get better at his tackling. But just in terms of pure
athleticism and upside, there's a lot there, So he's just got to show
that he's prepared to be more physical. You know, he's a soccer player
that transition to football later in his life, so that's going to take a
minute to get figured out. But again, players that had higher grades that
the lines were able to get lower. So big win for Neil McAvoy and
Rick Campbell and Ryan rig Maiden. All Right, the CFL season is upon
us. It's not far away. Give us a preview the top teams.
Use your great cup pick. Wow, Well, like I still didn't.
Winnipeg is the class of the West, right, can the Lions compete with
them. I don't think Winnipeg is gonna get any better this year than they
were a year ago. And I think that gap is closing for the Lions,
you know, I think they can compete for that second spot again.
A lot's gonna depend on Vernon Adams, right, And I've said to you
guys before that, you know, I've talked to Vernon a lot this offseason
and the focus and rededication he's shown to his craft. Not that he's ever
not been dedicated, but it's different because there's times when you know, you
signed the first big contract and now you kind of look ahead right to two
different things, and you know, maybe you feel comfortable, and you know,
maybe you start thinking about what you're gonna do later. And you know,
Vernon is so rededicated himself this year to being in the best physical and
mental shape he can be in that I think he's gonna have a really good
year. So if that happens, I think the lines have got some good
pieces everywhere else Calgary will be like, be right there. I think Edmonton
is going to be better. They've improved the receiving corps. Taylor Cornelius is
going to be better. They address the defensive needs in the draft, so
I think they'll be better Saskatchewan still a lot of questions around them, you
know, And in the East. You know, you look at Toronto and
you feel at eleven and seven they kind of came out of nowhere to beat
Winnipeg, and maybe that final week of the year they did pull off an
upset. But when you look at that roster, and when you look at
the Canadians on that roster, you'd be hard pressed to find a team with
better Canadians top to bottom, not just your seven starters, but even your
depth guys than the Toronto Argoes. So what's Chad Kelly gonna do there?
Right? Can he be that guy? But for me, the team I
like in the East, you're gonna you're gonna laugh Seatto Redblacks. And I'd
say that because, in my opinion, if Jeremiah is soul, he's healthy,
Ottawa's got the best quarterback in the East. Sorry, right, people
aren't gonna like me saying that, But in my opinion, if he's healthy,
Ottawa's got the best quarter back in the East. They made some important
editions, including Drew Dejarlais on the offensive line. They're my dark ork pick
in the East. But I still think um Toronto is going to be right
there near the top. But again, let's see what Chad Kelly can do.
Okay, so very quickly, farhand, I have to ask you this.
He just brought up the Red Blacks. I have to ask you both.
The player picked first overall, uh the other day in the CFL draft
because he's from Dante Bow because he's from Victoria, and that's where our bosses
are, so we want to keep them happy. Thumbs up, thumbs up,
thumb thumbs down. Hey, well, the top two offensive linemen in
the draft were taken from from Victoria. Right, You've got Dante Bull who
played at Belmont High School from my good friend Alexei Sansergrin and that's a you
know, up and coming building program there. And you know, I was
disappointed I didn't get to do the interview with Dante because I was going to
ask him whose favorite coach was to coach against when he was in high school.
But he's a he's a player that I'm stayed in touch with it since
his high school days. And you know, big six foot seven, twenty
pound guy that has really good footwork. And can be a starting tackle in
this league. Still dealing with a leg injury, he might not be ready
week one, but very early in the season he's going to be fully ready
and able to go. And I think he can do some great things in
Ottawa. They got him in Ottawa for their draft party, got him signed
and sealed right then, so some clarity there, so that's a good thing.
And then Phil Gorovic from Mount Douglas, which you guys know has been
a powerhouse program here in British Columbia. So your bosses in Victoria should like
hearing Mount Douglas because you know they're they're generally in contention for the BC High
School championship. So those two guys were the top offensive lineman and Fills more
of a guard, more of a physical, nasty run blocker who's still got
to work on his pass protection, not that he can't do it. But
his collegiate team at Western Ontario very much run heavy, but certainly BC well
represented along the offensive line with those two guys, both talented players who were
going to have long CFL careers. Man, you like football, I said,
ten seconds or left, I think the show's over. I didn't I
didn't hear the ten second party. Every time I come on, I check
in with you, get excited with Henderson. He's like, oh, we're

day Made the fourth be with you. I get it and I happy made
the fourth. To everybody who's into Star Wars, I'm not one of you.
I don't know why. I've only seen I think two, maybe three
of the movies, and it's obviously, from what I hear, pretty pretty
popular, certainly stood the test of time. I was a Star Trek guy.
That you mean, you're talking the movies or the show. The Star
Trek was crowd Canadian will Yeah, yeah, that's right, Star Trek was
guy. I didn't get into Star Wars, no Darth Vader, and yet
every day on the show you imprison it like Darth Vader. When I get
you, are you into Star Wars? Right? I saw the original three,
which see now it's all messy because the original three actually came out in
two thousand, not the ones from way back. Yeah, but I saw
those, and then I saw the most recent three with Force Awakens, and
okay, the Force Awakens I saw, and I thought it was pretty good.
Yeah, but then it went downhill after that in my opinion. Really,
but there's just so much like the Mandalorian in the Rogue one, and
it's just like, I can't sounds like you know a lot about this.
I'm like, I'm familiar with all of the content, but there's just so
much of it. And now Disney much like they've done with Marvel. They're
just grabbing that lemon and squeezing every ounce out of it, much like Darth
Vader. Just the squeeze. Yeah, I have no idea what you the
force we're doing, you know, the force goes like this is the neck
and then I don't just didn't, didn't, didn't grab me. Yeah,
and I'm clearly in the minority. Yeah, I was w in the seventies.
I was more into horror shows things. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
we go just yeah. It was the first one that I'm gonna go.
The seventies. No Texas chanceaw that for decades. I'm gonna go. I'm
gonna say the first Star Wars was seventy seven, seventy eight. I mean
again, I'm not a huge fan, so seventy seven could be wrong.
There you go. Then the second one was eighty. I remember it being
a big deal when I was in high school. Yeah, just didn't didn't
grab I saw it just to be in with the in crowdy. As Delbie
Gray would say, obscure reference never never hit me. Bet ninety nine dot
net poll questions Hapsford Canock's winning last night. There will be a Game four
against Calgary on Friday in the Fraser Valley. Yeah and our bet ninety nine
pole question Bet ninety nine Dot net poll question or just die Yeah exactly dot
poll? Ryan, could you make it any longer? Like? I mean,
you know what? Anyways? Martin claves alternating starts. Who should be
Vancouver's backup next year? Thirty six? This one's close Your old boss there,
Robbie Gray would love this. U thirty six percent say see loves and
then thirty five percent come in Martin and then Ryan put in. Should you
sign somebody else? They don't have any Well, no, we asked them
to. Okay, we did h they don't have any money. They're capped
out to get another goalie. If you want to know why Spencer Martin was
signed to a two year deal under eight under grad last year, that's that
was the thinking going into last year. I don't know. Things didn't work
out the way they thought they would. Again, this is another indication of
how good you have to be to be in the national hockey Spencer Martin,
what you've got? Our friend Chris Faber sent you a stat regarding Spencer Martin's
playin forty three say percentage in the playoffs so far for Spencer Martin outstanding in
the American Hockey thea you make that jump to the National Hockey League different,
It is a significant and you're facing as I as I stayed the obvious.
Yeah, and you're facing a guy named dry Citle in the in the in
the NHL's a whole new ball of wax. Okay, okay. So Abbotsford
last night, one of the big factors for Jeremy Carlton and company the atmosphere
at the Abbotsford Center that the towels much of the chagrin of Jeff Patterson.
They were out in full force. Jeff made it there, which is a
big deal. I think he had a seven hour drive. He joked about
wanting to leave I think at like noons or one to get out to Abbotsford.
He got into traffic, jab it took him four hours to get out
there. He jinked himself. Jeremy Carlton post game last night, after his
team's victory, talking about the atmosphere in the Fraser Valley even in the morning
come out for the morning just the rink looks fantastic, Like you come out
and it feels like a big game. And I think that's so important for
our players to experience, to know what it's like to be in that kind
of environment. And I thought the Abbots for tonight was just what he would
expect and it does help. It helps us a lot. It's one win.
I mean, obviously needed to win to stay alive, but in a
short series like this, it's like, what's the level of belief now that
you are here at home for the derision. You've go out one where you
guys played well enough on the road but didn't get the wins. Where do
you think the level of belief can be. Yeah, well, we needed
a result. I mean in the end, you'right if we don't get when
we're going home. So but I think even going into Calgary, we felt
it was set up that if we get one win, then some you apply
some pressure and we end up taking them to O T twice and couldn't get
it done. But I didn't feel that the series had really changed in that
respect. Obviously we were facing elimination, but they're the top seed, they're
got fifty plus wins. Like I mean, we were here to fight,
and we're here to battle, but as soon as we get one win and
now now there's some pressure there. It's up to us to come fly on
Friday and because then the game fight would be here. So that's that's up
to us to make the most of that could be a really fun weekend in
Well, it'll be fun no matter what that game Friday, but if they
went on Friday, there's a game there on Sunday. Really fun weekend in
Abbotsford. Boy, what a smart move. And there's a connection between Patrick
Alvin and Jeremy Colton. Smart move by Patrick Alvin to bring in that guy.
You know, you talked about what happened in Chicagomy. He was so
young when he got that job. But it's pretty clear that he knows what
he's doing. And I talked a lot of pro scouts. They love Abbotsburn
what they're doing, and that guy gets a lot of credit. Jeremy Carlton.
Smart. Smart hired by the Canucks. Okay, I'll mention this again
because we do have listeners and viewers from across the province and that includes Camloops
big game tonight, game four of their WHL Western Conference Final Blazers and Seattle
Thunderbirds. Thunderbirds favored. They took the first two games down to Seattle Camloops
one the other night. What was the score? Four one four while they
play again tonight and waiting for them. As we mentioned earlier in the show,
Winnipeg Guys, they took care of Saskatoon in the Eastern car Price four
game sweep. If I'm not mistaken, so that game tonight in Camelops.
There's hockey outside of Vancouver apparently, and cam Loop's boy, Donnie I'm not

they're welcoming somebody back to their panel this weekend. Rick Talkin will be on
a T and T panel. This can get him in a weekend everybody gets
Rick Cokin except us. Uh, he would be on the I'm curious if
this is one of those things. I think John Shannon mentioned it once before
when Mark Crawford took the job here in Vancouver. Originally back in the day,
he was working for Hockey Night and he went back there in the playoffs
to kind of shore up his contract. Yeah, and so I'm guessing that's
the same kind of Well, it's also a trend. Do you see what's
happening with Dallas Aikins right now out of a job, Yeah, and Derek
Laalan before that. Yeah, that's good. You like that. Yeah,
that's true with Aikens too, right, Yeah, he's got time on his
hands. Yeah. Rick talking doing four hundred interviews a week. That's good
to see. We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens next week.
If Rick joins this show, you gotta get on side, on board.
Oh, we gotta get it. I might have to text somebody. Uh.
You guys talked about it, despite one of our viewers in the inbox
porky pig situation, despite one of our viewers in the inbox missing it.
You guys talked earlier about Leon Dryside on his performance last night. Four goals.
He's doing things literally at this point, that I've not been done in
over one hundred years. His eleven goals of the most through are players first
seven games of a postseason in over one hundred years, this recording to sports
net Stats. So uh, newsy Land. Yeah, Derek's uncle. I
wonder if he's related to former cut Bobby Laalan or Derek Laalan who we just
mentioned. Yeah, no, I know no, but I'm trying to make
it local. Yes, Bobby Lalan was five to five. I wonder how
tall New Zealans great name. I wonder, Yeah, I wondered that a
lot. Actually um over the second I want to ask Johnny Steve Payne eighty
one was Minnesota North Starts. Remember Steve pay Yeah, yeah, a friend
of mine named Steve Payne. As a matter of I look at those names
though, newsy Lan and Babe Guy. Well, and you can tell us
all about both of those players because you watch them. Can you come up
with something more original like come on, would know? Yeah? Well that's
true. Drive out having a hell of a Postsee here's the other stat of
God you've got for you When it comes to Leon dry Settle. This courtesy
Arta o'call host on ESPN, Leon fifty two points in his last twenty five
playoff games. Can you believe that dry Setter joins two names that are regularly
brought up, Gretzky in the view as the only skaters have at least fifty
points in any twenty five game playoffs ban in NHL history. Rick said it.
He's the best player in the playoffs, is not even close. He
is. But if you watch last Lance game and even the first round series
against LA, so much attention is being placed on Connor McDavid and he's getting
frustrated giveaways yesterday that I'm not saying that. You know, Leon Drestal wouldn't
do this anyway, but a little bit more space for him, I would
think, oh definitely. And well, and you weren't talking about the frustration
last night Jack cho stripping him of the puck at the end of the game
to pot that empty netter, and you could tell he was kind of really
angry at that point. Of course, I can understand that being frustrated.
Of course, you know he wants to produce. But at the end of
the day, what you said is bang on, he's allowing them to have
success because everyone's focusing on him so much. Except they didn't have success last
night. Yeah, but they lost. They did, Yeah, but that
game could have That game ultimately could have gone either way. Let's be honest
here. They did lose the opening game, but the bottom line is I
think that's the only way he's the dry side us having the success because of
the magnifying glass on. It's not. But he's also got a tonight of
talent. Look at the first power play goal. We've seen that five times.
This playoffs same things over to him and back of the net. Their
power play is a cheat code ten, the ten power play. It's crazy
the talent on there. Okay, moving on one other thing. This was
announced yesterday. The match, you know, the golf tournament. It's still
going on, if you can believe it. I know a lot of people
thought it might have been. I'm as interested in this as it was in
Star Wars in nineteen seventy seven. The match will take place yet again,
twelve Holes at the Win Las Vegas, June the twenty ninth, is made
for TV event. This time it's Patrick Mahomes at, Travis Kelsey facing off
against Steph Curry and Clay Thompson. Good. You have four personalities there that
I'll make it quite interesting. I think the content will be good. The
Chiefs against the Warriors, They're not gonna I know that. Well, they
might for a hole maybe, but for the most part it'll be the two
NFL Travis Kelsey is gonna be loud. Great, you don't find him funny?
Okay, oh see you just really Saturday Night Live guys. Yeah,
and then he came out of the NFL draft him in mahomes to kick things
off in Kansas City, of course. But so the this is they still
keep going with this tournament. I will say, I like the twelve holes.
I don't need to see eighteen. Well, it's probably done well ratings
wise. Yeah, I mean it's a contint with a lot of people content
in the in the summer. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, there's
just nothing for me. I'll be in the yard working. This does nothing
for you. You know. My one moment I remember, first of all,
when John Daley's not involved in these I know I'm going back a bit.
They're not all that good, but the one but I don't remember for
the last couple of years during one of these things, was Tom Brady ripping
his past was about it wasn't it also like a downpour in Florida When they
were doing that one, there was one of them that it was just troch
atrocious weather in Florida. Now they've moved in to Vegas, give up with
another one. Now they moved in to Vegas with this one. And of
course Rick wouldn't care because there's two NBA ars. It doesn't matter, it
doesn't matter. That does nothing for me. He registers zero on the Richter
scale for me, the Richter scale or whatever scale. So it works because
you're Rick zero zero on. There you go, You got there. Eventually.
It took a while to click in. Get two Canadian hockey players with
a couple of celebrities and I'll watch, well, the watch that boys at
the spitt and Chicklets podcast they've done. I think it's a sand Beeger invitation
or whatever. They have two hockey players played, they swear during the whole
they might have they might have passed her knack and I'm trying to remember the
other player. They were the last two to do it with and biz.
But I mean, it's content, that's what it ultimately comes into. One
game in the NBA last night, the Celtics all over the Sixers, by
the way, big time. He did a big second half of the Celtics
ebid being a named NBA MVP. Yeah that was a couple of days ago.
Yeah, yeah, And when he got back in the lineup last night
for the Sixers, but again the Celtics all over them. Warriors Lakers game
two tonight among the some of the NBA playoff action that'll register big on the
Richter scale in that household zero. Coming up next, I can't believe anyway.
Coming up next is he's still pending UFA. We gotta get an NBA
player on soon. He is a uf Is it pending? Though? What
does pending mean? He's a UFA until he's about to become a UFA.
Yeah, unless they strike a deal with Calgary. You never know. He
loved Darryl trying to figure out what terrocious means. It's not a bad word,
terrocious, terrible and atrocious. Yeah, yeah, it sounds something Charles
Barkley would provide. Coming up next, Troy Stature. Troy from Richmond joined
you guys next big eleven o'clock. I our ahead, Donny the team on
check Thursday and all of our guests today, including Troy Stature standing by,
are brought to you by the Vancouver Giants. Giants would like to thank their
fans for their support the season at the LLEC and can't wait to welcome them
back for the twenty twenty three twenty twenty fourth season. Get your season tickets
for next year now at Vancouver Giants dot com slash season tickets as we're joined
now by Troy Statue, who's spent the last NHL season. Is seventh NHL
season by the way, with Arizona and Calgary. Troy, thanks for doing
this, sir. How are you good? Thanks for having me on the
show. No problem, former cunack as well. I'm sure people in Vancouver
remember that, Troy. What a season for you playing in those two markets.
Let's start in Arizona. Troy, the of this question, what was
it like playing at Mullet Arena? Did it take you back to your days
with Richmond minor hockey? Now I kind of remind me of being back in
junior is playing Pentickton. Obviously the same size arena, Obviously a different experience,
but one that I really enjoyed. That was a great atmosphere there on
a nightly basis. They did a good job promoting the obviously and moving locations
into Tempe closer to campus. So it was a lot of fun and obviously
something you don't expect as an NHL player, but you just embrace it.
Do you see promise with that market, Troy? From a players standpoint,
I think you do. Obviously, the organization as a whole is surrounded by
a lot of really good people, coaching staff, management, training staff,
a lot of good teammates there, and I think everybody understands the direction they
want ahead and the rest of it's out of our control. So obviously you
see what's going on kind of the media with the city of Phoenix, so
you don't know what's gonna arise, But I do think it's a market that
obviously can't thrive if the arena gets built, and they can obviously move from
Arizona to Calgary. Another obvious question, that's what we what we do here,
Troy, We ask obvious question. What was it like playing for Darrel
Sutter? It was great. I actually really enjoyed playing for him. He's
a really well respected coach. He's had a ton of success around the NHL,
dating back to even his time in Calgary. I think he was the
coach and GM and their OH four run and obviously he won the Stanley Cup
with LA and he's a player back in the day, so he was someone
that I came into kind of heard a lot of different things from some of
the players there that were former teammates, and he was someone I respected.
It was a coach I liked playing for. He's kind of my style of
coach and we got along great. So obviously it's tough to see him go,
but that's part of the business. Troy. After leaving Vancouver, he
went to Detroit, La Arizona, back to a Canadian market. Fun.
Was it getting back into a Canadian market? Yeah, it's great. You
obviously missed the you know, the competitiveness of you know, the market,
the media attention and the pressure of playing in the Canadian city. So it
was something I embraced, something I love to do. And obviously going to
Calgary in the position that we were in fighting for a playoff spot and that
hunt and just falling short was a lot of It was a lot of fun
and very enjoyable to play in a lot of meaningful games. So it was
something I was looking forward to when I got the phone call, I got
traded there. Look, Toy, you get to pick your next destination because
you're a UFA on July first. Is there a part of you hoping that
the Canucks call they called last year on July first. For you, I
don't know. We'll see, obviously, that's something I leave to my agent
him and Igel obviously Howard discussions in the off season, which we've already began,
just kind of doing a recap of my year and moving forward, we'll
do some more research on teams, and you know, what they need as
personnel and opportunity. Where they are is organization going forward, if they're winning
culture or they're in rebuilding phase, and whatever we see as the best fit
is the decision will make. Hey, Troy, back to to Darryl Sutter
And sorry to harp on that a lot, but you said he's your type
of coach? What do you What do you mean by that? Um?
I don't think it's surprised that I'm not the I'm no offensive defenseman, natural
stay at home defenseman. I'm not going to be a superstar. I feel
like I'm a good supporting piece and a depth player, and I'm a player
that works hard and keeps the mouth shut. And he's a coach that really
respects that and expects the best out of you. And if you're going to
pout and you're going to complain, which I don't think I do as an
individual, then you're obviously going to hear it from him. So he's someone
that I respect him the fact where if you work hard, he's going to
give you an opportunity, and um, that's exactly what he gave me in
Calgary. Gave me a great opportunity to play an important role for our team
on the third pair and a lot of meaningful minutes. So I really enjoyed
my time with them. So what was missing in Troy the Flames failed to
make the playoffs. A lot of talent there. You know what, I
don't really know. When I got there the deadline, we went eleven four
and four, So it wasn't like we played back like we played some really
good hockey after the deadline when I got acquired. It just seemed like some
of their issues met ever happened earlier in this season. I know they went
through a seven game losing stretch. I think back in November obviously, when
I was in Arizona. So when you lose that many games consecutively, which
I went through in Arizona, we had some stretches like that, it's really
hard to make up ground in this league and sometimes you get behind the eight
ball. That's kind of the righting on the wall. These playoffs so far
have been strange. I don't know how much you're paying attention to them,
but lots of fights and success of the road teams in the playoffs. Troy,
do you have any theories on that. I don't know. I think
some of it could go to coaching and matchups, taking advantage of having last
change. But I just think the game has changed so much now where you're
injecting youth, and it seems like some of these younger guys don't have any
fear, like they're so well prepared and trained. It younger now where they're
able to come in and have an impact. I've been paying attention obviously the
playoffs. I love hockey, I love the game, and I wish I
was competing, so I've been watching. But for a guy an example,
he worked with my agent, but Nys in Toronto, like he scores a
big goal and coming right out of the college, so right away, so
and he's playing with Matthews on the top line. So I think kind of
stay that around the league, and I think it definitely has an impact with
the results based on the teams Troy, Canada would love to have had you
at the World Hockey Championships. It was it just because you were a UFA
eating goal. Yeah, it was tough. There was kind of right away
I figured I wouldn't go with my contract, and then seven of us got
invited from Calgary, so we were talking about maybe going as a group.
Talking with my agent, he said, you know, at the end of
the day, it's your call, and we kind of fell in the decision
that it was best that I don't go, just for that fact that we're
If you get injured, you don't have a contract be used against you.
But yeah, I take a lot of pride and I'm playing for Canada and
representing them, and I've been twice before and I would have loved it gone
again, but unfortunately I was in a different circumstance this time around. Who's
gonna win the Stanley Cup, Troy, I've actually been four for five the
path four years, wow, and this year I'm already wrong. I had
Boston, So you don't get to answer that question. Now you're not the
only one, Troy. Yeah, yeah, Hey, listen, I picked
Calgary to be in the Stanley Cup Final, So there you go. Don't
don't feel bad. Hey, you've always yeah, you've always been good to
us. Thanks so much for joining us today. Try and really appreciate that
and all the best in the sum What are you gonna be up to in
December, by the way, other than trying to sign a new deal.
Right now, I'm back in Arizona my girl. I purchased a place here
during the season, so we're spending some time here and then we'll go back
to Vancouver some time in June. And I started training on Monday here at
the Coyotes staff, which I'm very thankful for that they're open to having me
back and I'm want to get back home while I'll be back with the Ian
Gallagher and the group there and just another summer of getting prepared for another eighties
two game season. All the best, Troy again, thanks so much,
appreciate it. Yeah, thank you appreciate it. Troy Statcher UFA this summer
um Darryl Center. He liked him, big fan of Darryl Center. What
do we here after Darryl Cutter got canned in Calgary that it was the it
was the exit meeting, exit meetings that did Darryl Center in I'm guessing if
Troy Stetcher wasn't there for a long time had an exit meeting, he wasn't
one of the reasons Darryl Center got let go and can I tell you something,
Elstone? He The other person I heard that didn't have a problem with
Darryl Cutter in Calgary was Chris Tanev. And so it's interesting that guys like
Tanev and guys like Stacher had noise shoes with Daryl. Poll question will update

I got a text from a guy. I'm working on a story. Focus.
You're right, I just can't focus. Take the cell away Langley,
Mettertown, Twasha Mills and Guildford Moll. If you can't visit them in store,
you can chop their massive collection online at pastime Sports Dot. If we
took your cell away, you'd never count survive without my sell I'm gonna not
in the position in the corner over there the agents. What would I do?
I don't know what I do in front of your job, Yeah,
twenty four seven, I gotta sell in front of the laptop. Up is
the genogic side puck the box of Series two upper deck Hockey cards. And
the card of the day is not actually from that box hockey cards today.
This is one of the National Hockey Card Day cards. Are you an what
you're going with? A leaf? And the Leaves and Panthers are playing tonight
And actually this might be the first time I've used the leaf of this generation.
And this is why, because Rick and I would have a problem with
that. If you were going with the leaves, Donnie and I, you
should have had Mike Pomatin, like Darryl Sittler, Yes, somebody old,
Donnie McDonald, the big am Yeah, Darcy Tucker, Yeah, one um.
The roster for oh are we moving on? Yeah? The roster for
the American team at the World Championships later this month has been announced. It
includes a cock yep Connor Garland is actually the only problem. I gotta be
honest with you, Donnie. This looks like and I told you this before.
I think a lot of American players said no to go over the world.
Apparently they did. There's not many NHL players. Connor Garland is one
of who had the roster. Roster one a very few NHL players, Donnie,
that's going to go play for the Americans. Alex Tuck is there as
well. Nick Purbecks, who got some pretty significant playing time for Tampa Bay
in the playoffs. Young defenseman, he's there as well, Nick Benino,
okay Um and Luke Tuck, who I don't know what I should know.
This is he Alex's younger brother. I think not a NHLer. Casey to
Smith there from the Penguins, and you'll be pleased to find out that Henry
thrun is there. I found out that his name was actually Henry Throwne.
He signed with San Jose out of Harvard. Yeah, Henry Throun Throne out
of Harvard. Boy, those kids that go to Harvard and play hockey,
Donnie give him all the credit in the world. Yeah. Not everyone can
get into Harvard focusing on education and hockey. Well they all do, right,
but I mean selling it both. How about that? That's what I
mean? Yeah, okay Um, we're good, right. I want I
want to show a picture of of this gentleman, can you an I want
to any I know you guys know who it is, but just want to
give people people have any idea who this is. He passed away Earli this
week, so let's be respectful. It's Peter Good and he passes away at
the age of eighty, a Connecticut based graphic designer who came up with what
is arguably the best logo in National Hockey League history, maybe even sports history.
He was responsible for the Hartford Whalers logo, the second logo that I
remember for the Whalers. But you know what this is. I'm not the
smartest guy in the world. It took me about, I don't know,
fifteen years to realize there was an age in the middle of it, in
the negative space. It's really really innovative, really really creative, and my
one of my criterias for a great logo. There are exceptions. Can a
kid drive? That's just a nice, simple, clean logo kind of says
it all. The logo that I really like now in the National Hockey League
and you know the old ones people, I love the Red Wings logo is
fabulous, but I love the New Jersey Devil's logo. Yeah, it kind
of says it all. Just really simple line to draw. Yeah, very
similar if he had maybe he did, I don't know, but if mister
Good had come up with that, I wouldn't have been surprised. But this
is one of the great logos of all time. And I'll tell you how.
You know that. It's because you still see people not just in Carolina
but everywhere everywhere wearing this. It's a great, clean looking logo, great
colors that they took from the Canucks when they went away from blue and green.
But it's just just fabulous. I don't know if we have this right.
And I didn't ask for this, but it was the second logo I
remember with the Whalers, the New England Whalers of the World Hockey Association.
They and they had a lot of Yes I believe that they were the first
winners of the Avico Cup. Oh right. Um, they had a logo
that was incredibly popular but also incredibly politically incorrect. And actually, when you
think about it, it had a harpoon in the middle of it. Have
you got it there? Um, when you think about it, the name
Whalers is you know, I don't know if it would pass Mustard today.
So this is when you're talking about whalers killed whales. Wow, yeah,
this is the old you know, the old New England Whalers. First,
remember Ted Green was one of their first big players, the late great Ted
Green. Very nice. Yeah, based based based in Boston before they moved
to Hartford. Yeah, not as sharp, is not not as clean as
the other one. But he leaves us at the age of of eighty.
A big deal in the in the state of the Connecticut area. It's really
stood the test of time. When the Hurricanes, I don't think they wore
it this year. They've worn the thrown throwbacks before well, but not this
year. I'm glad you brought that up, because arguably the worst logo in
National Hockey League history is the Carolina Hurricanes. It's just terrible. What are
you supposed to do with the name? What hurricane? The other, like
the other creative secondary logo is better than their primary logo, the one with
a hockey stick and the hurricane flags. Okay, that's that's better, but
you know the the Yeah, but this one's jumble in front of what is
that? That one looked good? Is like a primary logo in the front
of a jersey. They do have it on on some of their third jersey
really yeah, if it seems too small, too staplistic, Yeah, I
don't know if it look You're right, it's more of a shoulder patch logo.
I don't mind the Carolina logo, Like again, what are you supposed
to do? It's the hurricane, it's the eye of hurricane. You just
give up, get creative road. I guess it forms the sea. Yeah,
yeah, okay. It kind of looks like the original Sports that logo
in Away, you know, the player. I like that it was simple,
But that looks like you know, I'm mass back at a Kiss concert
in nineteen seventy eight. It looks like a mess, Like this is Dollywall's
doodling. No, my favorite Atlanta Flames. Well that's a good logo.
Atlanta Flames used to draw his kid all the time. And the other one
Minnesota North Stars in the eighties, Donnie best logo, Tipple. You could
draw them. You could draw them is the kid? I used to draw
it all the time. Look at this? Yeah that's look at this?
Are you kidding? Mate? And that's what the do they still do this?
I believe they do in the uniform. Guy should know the Rangler know.
The alternate captains have that on their jersey in Calgary. This was a
beautiful, beautiful logo the Wranglers. The Wranglers though, this is what I've
yet they're based off that. Yeah, I think their jerseys feel closer to
this than they do Calgary. Yeah, except there's not an A there.
No, I understand that. But the logo itself because it's the W obviously
not an A because it's the Wranglers. This is one of your worst takes.
No, I'm not at all. So it's it's if it's got a
are the same? No, but it's got the it's got that, it's
got that lean to it. Yes, yes, I don't feel it doesn't
look the same as the cow. What is the flames logo? Right now?
Why am I blanking the sea? Yeah? That's right, the flame.
I'm like the horn is that? This is worse than me asking the
question how about Avasford being in the Fraser Valley? No, no, unreal?
What's the flames look? Because I, for some reason I had that
horsehead in my brain. Yeah, another logo I like moving up highway to
an upper. I like the oiler's logo, the melting letters. Yeah,
dripping letters simple enough. Yeah, cracking's good too. Oh definitely all right?
Are we logoed out? I think so. DTMZ Next, Donnie Dli

didn't. Initially She's like, no, I'm not a rock and roller,
and then eventually I don't know saw the Light or ever you want to explain
it. But again, Kate Bush going in, yea, Kate Bush is
in because of Stranger Things. Well. I was also like, I was
just looking up. She's just first respected, first female artist to achieve a
UK number one with a self written song. That's pretty significant. I mean

because her debut single, Wuthering Heights, Okay, r igot that was on
the top of the chart, running up that hill Kate with the big thing
obviously stranger stranger thing. Yeah, she got momentum running up that hill.
Yeah. But again, like I look at the guess who like way more

a lot of songs. Yeah, I mean, I I he fits.
But okay, white striped rock and roll? Yeah, but again, though,
what was like over time rock and roll has evolved, Like, okay,
dad, he was like country folk kind of right, would you say,
well, now you mentioned something else, you're throwing folk in there.
Yeah, I don't know White Stripes. I'm good sound guard and I'm a
little surprised they didn't. But they're not in. No, I I know

a friend who had a cabin there when I was growing up. I've been
in the potholes and what do they call them in Victoria, the potholes whatever
they're called in Souk. But I've been there, but I haven't been a
Galiano little suits on Vancouver Island. I know that I've been to Souk.
You ask me if I've been there. This is galliant. This sorry,
this isn't on the Where's Galiano? Galiano Island is one of the Gulf Islands,
one of the first ones you come to when you leave Twasson. I
think you and I need to do the show from there and I get the
away, get the stress away from what Henderson beside Main Island. If I'm
not mistaken. Thank you. We have this picture from Mark with a Star
Wars destroyer see that. No, okay, a lego start destroyer anyway?
Okay, what else you got? By the way, I should have mentioned
this? Is it just me? This is unsigned? Is it just me?
But wasn't Chris de Burgh fantastic in concert a couple of nights ago.
He came out on stage, played songs that addressed the crowd, thanked them
for coming, saying new people came to the concert with a couple of questions,
took some questions, gave some answers. Christ Lady and Red, who
we brought up earlier this week. It's funny we brought up the song Lady
and Red and then we found out, oh my gosh, he's He's playing
in Vancouver this week. Lady and Red was a wonderful song from the nineteen
eighties done he he was? He in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
ten. It went top ten on Dick Lark's Top forty. Is it just
me? Sorry? Rick? Get this one in? Well? Is it
just me? But? Are these rumors true on Twitter that Shane O'Brien is
going to replace Cheech? Any word on this unsigned I saw that is that
I know Shane's in the media. He's got the missing curfew podcasts that he's
part of. Is there anything to that? I have done the NHL network
as well. I have not heard that. But Shane O'Brien has been busy
ripping bow Horvett lately. So yeah, I saw that he called bow Harvets
soft. He called him soft, He called him soft bo. Shane O'Brien
not a fan of bow Horvat. You know what if if if he's calling
bow Horvet soft, even if Bohrvet is no longer part of the Canuck organization,
he's probably not getting that job. Yeah, well, given what we
know, Yeah, that's a good point. Uh, Stephen Cloverdale, is
it just me? What's going on with Jonathan, Lacaramackie, Donnie. They're
talking contract the Canucks and Lacaramackie, Steve wats to know? Steve, Steve
wats to know? And Cloverdale. Well, they're talking contract. It's gonna
get done. They're gonna sign him here soon. But the only thing they've
got to figure out is where he's gonna play in the SHL. I told
you last week he's gonna move up a league in the Sweden. He's gonna
go to the SHL. They're working that out. But a contract with a
Karen mac he should get done in the next little while here. It's gonna
get done. But there's been that talk about him moving up to the elite
league. Even if it's not he's moving up now. Yeah, they've got
to figure out the team. Um, Donaldan Langley, Is it just me?
But you guys are wrong. The best NHL logo ever, which no
one can draw, is the Chicago Blackhawks logo. I love that. It's
a tough one to draw. Yeah, that's high, spectacular, controversial for
some people, but the whole look of the Blackhawks is is amazing. Is
it just me? Surrey Ryan. The hard nosed players love Daryl Cuter's coaching
style. The softer players didn't. That's the modern NHL. Yes, we
have chroic stature. On the show and the in the first hour or probably
it was this hour, and he talked about how he had no problem He's
a guy who keeps his mouth shut and does his job. That's how something
to that effect, I'm paraphrasing, he had no problem with Daryl Sutter.
Now, I don't know if that was a shot at other players in Calgary.
Bottom line Troy Stetra said he had no problem with Darryl Sutter, and
you got the feeling listening to people in Calgary after Darryl Sutter was like,
oh that every player had a problem with Darryl Sutter. Not the case.
There wasn't the case, not that Troy was there that long. And I
can tell you that Chris Tanner was probably another guy that didn't have a problem.
Okay with the Shutter as well. I've heard that Chris tannev likable,
coachable, every coach that he's ever played for. Donnie plays the hell out
of him, So you know, I don't think he had a problem with
him as well. Uh yeah, one, no, no, you go,
okay, is it just me? But here's a question for Rick.
I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna paraphrase this unsigned. Can you name the
seventies rocker who played Pinky Tuscaderow's younger sister on Happy Days? I believe her
name is Leather Tescadero. Leather, uh and Pinky, not Vinnie, not
Vinnie. Anyways, I don't know what I was thinking. No, I
can't even know. You help. It was Susie Quatro. Susie who Susie
quatro quatroll quatro quatro quadrow Yeah, okay, yeah, now can you get
a picture of her up? I can't remember what Leather Tuscadero slash Susie quatro
Susie Quatroll Happy days at the fauns they were, They had a thing going
there for a long time. Pinky Tescadero and the sister and fawns. Pardon
me, no, no, that sounds like a dream you have was Pinky
Tescadero and the fawns were Okay, so this is Susie Quatroll. That's a
that's her when she was older. Oh do we have not one? Do
we not have one? From the seventies? Google? Happy days and before
you were born? There you there, you go right there, that's Leather
Tuscadero though, that's Susie quatro right yeah. With the funds. Yeah,
this show has taken another left turn. That it is just were not I
missed the fa He was the greatest. He's still around, Henry Winkler in
the show, Barry streaming as we speak. Are you serious? Yeah?
I could still see the funds. He doesn't play the funds. Oh yeah,
I know it, but yeah he won a couple of the Emmy's.
If I'm not mistaken for what he does, he was an idol for us,
so I'm not gonna lie to yet. He was the best of the
best of the best. Henry Winkler. Yeah, he was the best.

Delany's okay toarn Langley in box for helping us out. Dj T Is it
just me, but I'm repeating this question because a lot of people are asking
it. If the Oilers could keep either dry sil or McDavid, who would
you pick? Oh my goodness, it's a tough one. Dry Citle is
so unbelievable. It's so fun to watch Donnie. He's a finisher and I
told you every time it's a look at the power play goal last night.
But you gotta go with McDavid. I'm sorry, Well, McDavid's gonna win
the heart and you just how you think this too? Like it does?
Does dry Syle get disrespected because he's on the same team as the guy everybody
talks about being the greatest player in the world, and then but then there's
the this this argument. I'm with you. I would go with McDavid as
well, just because I think he would fill seats if i'm if i'm you
know, if I want to watch somebody every night, it would be him,
it would be McDavid. You wonder what dry Settle's production would be like
if teams like the Vegas Nights weren't spending so much time worrying about McDavid.
I guess he could go the other way as well. But you know,
if if I a business side of it, I take McDavid because it's watching
him. And this is all due respect to dry Settle. Watching McDavid is
otherworldly. Yeah, incrediblesolutely, but he got Is it just me? But
the Connucks need big players would talent and grit not enough of it, Donny
whatever, If they free up some cap space, I expect them to go
get some size. Size on the blue line. It's one of the smallest
blue lines in the NHL and they need. You know that. We were
talking about Milan Luchit yesterday. I talked to his Asian last night, Scott
Bonner. He's coming back, Donnie. I I don't know what to say
to you. That's going to be a low cost point, it's not going
to be very high. But he's going to be available and there's to be
a lot of interest in Milan because I don't care what you think of Milan
um. He still is a guy that big and tough, big and tough,
and he defends teammates. You you touch Quinn Hughes, Milan's gonna be
going over there and saying, hey, don't touch that kid ever again.
Well, I don't know. The other takeaway, probably one of the takeaways
I had from many of Rick Towkett's uh postgame interviews was after a Vegas game,
Yeah, later the season, I can't their their blue line is so
big and so good about them, and so when it comes to size on
the blue line, I think you're you're you're banging on there, bang on.
Okay, that's it. Thanks for putting up with us, folks said
