Check Podcasts. Thanks for listening to the Donnie and Dolly podcast. Catch the
show Monday through Fudday, ten am to noon on Check. The show is
about nothing. This is your home for Donnie and Dolly. You go to
a party and there's deviled eggs out there. You're talking with Don Taylor.
At least have this recurring dream when I was a kid of going to school
in underwn Rick Dolly Wall. Look at this hot doc. Three? What
do you say? Three? Fee? Here's Donnie and Dolly tac clock in
downtown Vancouver, roll the Paul Carson Studio. Thanks for tuning in, folks.
It's Donnie Dolly the team on Check. Don Taylor, along with Rick
Dolly Wall. Ryan Henderson is our producer. He is the man of the
controls are director. The voice of God is Derek Wong. How are you
couldn't be better? Because that's just Sonny outside, it's a good day.
You seem very low key. Well, I pick it up. You want
me to jack it up? With jack it up? Let's go. Maybe
you're a little down because of the way the Knucks are playing right now.
Well that was not very good, Donnie. That's a four and one in
their past five against teams and playoff positions. There's a lot to be concerned
about right now, thirteen and twelve since the All Star break. But why
things are going awry? Things are gone AWRYE six' three Vegas over the
Canucks. Frustrating game. Look, we'll get to the highlights in a second,
but they fall down to nothing early. And this is a lot of
people might consider this irrelevant, but that might, you know, go for
the entire show today and maybe going back three years. As a matter of
fact, why is it that at the start of games when teams start out
poorly? You see it once in a while. And I just thought,
and I'm not trying to give out coaching advice here, well maybe maybe i
am, but it's it's clear your team doesn't have it. Why not call
a timeout? Yeah, that's already though done unless they are up four or
five nothing in the first five minutes, I don't see a timeout. I
didn't think I was thinking time out when Vegas went up to nothing. I
didn't see that. You got fifty eight fifty five minutes a ton of time.
You're down to a ton of time. This just in bad starts hurt
teams it did last night for the Canucks. They give up four goals in
the first period. I know, just something you always, you know,
feel or see coaches save their time out til later in the day, you
know, why not use And you know what I'm I can't. Did he
use a timeout last night? I don't think he No, I'm not criticizing
Rick talking. This is a general question. Why do coaches not use that
time when it's pretty obvious the team doesn't have it early, you know,
wake them up or tell them to relaxed, take it easy. You know,
there's still a lot of time left in this game. Also, and
I'm a believer in this within a game. I'm a believer in momentum.
Slow down the other team a little bit. Just again, this isn't what
was wrong with the Knocks last night. No, It's just something when it
comes to strategy that I that I wonder about. Just thrown it out there.
Yeah, and there was You're right about the start. First ten minutes
were awful, bad defending a lot of odd man rushes. You had four
or five guys clearly not ready to play. I thought Baine struggled lirly.
I thought Cole struggled dirly. I thought there were guys, there was giveaways.
After the Anaheim game, talk had clearly talked about you can't have that
many turnovers. That was Anaheim. We're now talking about a top team in
the West in Vegas. They paid the price four goals on nine shots down.
Yeah, and hey, look and we'll get to the highlights and hear
what Rick talking and Quinn Hughes have to say later on in the show.
We're in this segment. But Casey the Smith had a tough start. That
first goal was tough, trying to gather it back into his glove and just
swoops it to Anthony Amantha in the net early one nothing, then they go
up to nothing. Yep. Maybe should should have called the timeout, but
we've gone We've gone through that already. But I think for a lot of
people, and trust me, folks, we're going to talk about Elias Petterson
in a bit here because he's a target for a lot of people. But
a lot of people in conduct nation will say, well, they'll be fine
once thatcher Dempko comes back, Okay, and he can't come back until the
sixth's third today, Okay, But the stats since the All Star break not
good. They don't. They're not good, and they're not good offensively.
No. Last time I checked Thatcher Dempko hasn't put the puck in the net.
At the other end, he's not. Some assists, but no goals.
Cannucks have one player. I dug up these stats earlier today, I
actually have one player over ten goals since the All Star Break. One that's
j T Miller at fourteen. If everybody had his drive and look, I
know I've criticized him in the driving passion, that body language has gone.
He's just been absolutely fabulous. Nils Hoglander has nine, Elias Petterson just six
goals. Goals for per game since the All Star Break. I don't know
what happened in Toronto. How much were those guys a half dozen players happened
to? How much were they done? How much were they partying? The
coach was there? What happened there? Goals for per game since the All
Star Break? This just in. There's a lot of talent on this team.
Okay, they're twenty sixth overall in the National Hockey League since the All
Star Break and goals for per game that has nothing to do with that.
Your down are very little to do with that, Youri Dempco maybe the oddissist
as you point out right, so you know a lot of the and they
got three goals last night, but you you kind of got the feeling that
with that start it was four to one after one, it just it.
It didn't matter how many goals they I guess if they scored seven, biggest
scored six, they would have won. You get, you get the idea,
you get the drift, you get the idea. So what exactly has
happened? They're thirteen, A, ten and three, which for a team
that you know, at moments ago had Stanley Cup aspirations. That's not good
since the All Star Break exactly happened there? Yeah, well what happened All
Star Break was in that month of February, Donny, where the schedule was
really absolute. I'm not making excuses. They go straight from Toronto, seven
or eight of them. They go to Carolina. The next day in practice
after there was a Saturday, was the All Star Game Sunday, and talking
said to the All Star guys, you guys can have the day off,
and they said, no, we're going to practice. So they practice on
the Sunday. That was a disastrous month for travel because of that practice.
No, no, I'm not saying it. But this past month, nine
games at home, tons of practice time, tons of days up. There's
no excuses. That excuse is out the door. And you you said that
because when they were going through that tough month of February, very little rest,
not much time in between games. A lot of what they talked about,
and understandably so, was well, you know, we need some rest
here, we need some practices. They got them home for nine games and
two and a half. We're much better, you know, no back to
backs anymore. And nine home games in a row, you got home cooking,
you got you're to sleep in your own bed, you got multiple days
off. There's no excuses for this. But Donnie, the biggest concern for
me is when Rick Talkt says postgame, we got some individuals who don't have
the fight, Well, we're gonna get to those. What's going on when
the coach is calling out players for no fighting will? This is not game
seven of the regular season. This is seven games to go, don And
if you got players with no will and fight, don how are you gonna
make it the rest of the way and be successful in the Playoffs highlights Derek
were good rock and Roll, My friend tea Mobile Arena, Las Vegas,
Nevada. Just over a minute in Casey to Smith with a save on Drafeyev,
but fails to gather in the pucket. Anthony Mattha is there to Potts
one nothing Vegas. Five minutes after that, Jonathan Marchiasso with room keeping,
shooting and scoring his career high forty first two nothing Knights of the Golden Variety.
Conocks responds, puck goes behind the Vegas goal. Elias Peterson and Brock
Bester could by it to dig the biscuit out for Nils Holdlander and the man
wearing Zach Delpi's old number twenty one makes it two to one is twenty third
fail, but the Knights would reply just twenty seconds later. Again it's Jonathan
Marchiso, this time feeding Jack Eichel, and the former terrier of Boston University.
University restores the Vegas two goal lead three to one. Knights didn't have
a park play, working the puck around nicely. Noah Hanafan from the point
shot his first as a Goalden Knight for to one for the home team.
William Carlson made it five to one Canucks. Then on a second period power
play, Hughes and Garland worked the old give and goal, resulting in Hughes
rippling the mesh five to two and the Canucks captain wasn't finished. Third period,
Quinn Hughes on the right side. Quinn Hughes scooting all the way over
to the left side. He'll unloaded risshot that finds its way past Logan Thompson.
Second of the game, fifteenth of the year. Five to three.
But that's as close as they come. Again. The Canucks allow the Knights
to respond and respond quickly. Two on one, Kegan Cole star over to
Brent Howden. This was twenty four seconds after Hughes made it five to three
Knights double Vancouver is sixty three Caducks at Arizona tonight. You know, I
just looked up that whole goals the goals four things who came up with before
the show yourself by yourself? Is it wrong? No? No, it's
right. Guess led the NHL from Game one until the All Star Break.
I'm gonna give you one. Guess. The Canucks as a whole, Okay,
we were because the goals for is they're down to seventeen yeah before the
break, number one three point eight zero goals for per game. That is
some wild stuff. I mean, it's a tale of two seasons. If
it is, it's turning out that way, it's it's that's there will be
a tail of three seasons. And will they be able to turn things around
come the playoffs and then they could that's again and the tale of a fourth
season. Yes, But a big part of their scoring was the third line.
And then Joshua got hurt that you know, that broke up that line.
That line was doing extremely, extremely well and it was providing bottom They
don't have any bottom six scoring now zip. That line was provided une last
night. That was good. Yeah for once, so they got no their
bottom six scoring is absolutely non exist But okay, but then, but okay,
hold on a second. What about the guy who's gonna be making eleven
six next year? Starting next year? He was in on the first two
goals, Donny. You saw the first goal, he was right there,
and then the second goal he provided the screen for Hughes. So before you
go slamming and hamming up on him, not slamming and hamming, he was
in on the first playing well, yeah, he's playing well, yeah,
no he's not. He's got to get better. That's four games in a
row, Donny, he's gone pointless. Seven of the past nine he's gone
pointless. So, uh yeah, is he hurt? I don't know.
Okay, he had a maintenance day he had on Saturday before the Sunday game
against Anaheim. What do we read into that? Is there something bothering?
No one's hearing an injury. No one's hearing it. I mean, don't
got to be injured. I honestly, he's too good to be Tony unproductive.
If they're sitting out home Lindholm, to get him one hundred percent healthy.
If you if your guy Patterson is hurt, sit him, get him
ready for the playoffs. Got the one hundred percent. Why why anyway,
why you keep playing him if he's hurt? On the head? Coach Rick
Tockett post game, now on what went wrong? Yeah, the penalties and
then a couple odd man rushes. It was about four. I didn't think
four or five guys were ready to play, and then we had our moments
in the second the third, But obviously that first kind of put us behind
the eight ball. A couple of times, you guys crawled back to within
reachable distance, then gave went up right away. Yeah, two to one,
they score twenty seconds later, five to three, they score what twenty
four seconds later? Yeah, can't happen. Why do you think the team
was so loose at the start? I don't know, but it's about three
or four plays. You got to go through people. We weren't going through
people in this game. And that's a good wall team there. They're they're
a team that holds on the puck. So you have to go through people
where were caught in between. So there was like four plays where if you
go through the player the player, they probably don't get the odd man rush
and and then you dive. You dive in you don't get a piece of
anyway. That's how you get on in russ So I don't know why they
weren't ready to play. Okay, So you hear this a lot going way
down to minor hockey, going through players, going through opponents, you know,
aim for their crash and take them out. Don't do what hockey people
will call a fly by, where you just coast by somebody kind of wave
your stick at them. That was happening. I thought a bit last night.
Rick Talker would disagree, obviously, he feels it was happening a whole
lot last night. But go right at their crest, go right at their
body and and and take them out. And to hear him say that at
this stage of the season, that's it. That's that's that's And I know
we talked about goal scoring being a problem, but that thing there, which
is again something that happens that you tell kids in minor hockey go through.
Look look how many times Vegas entered the Vancouver zone Donny last night with ease.
You know, look at that to howden goal, Look at the Kasar
had. So he just kept going, knowing, he kept going, and
he was, well, they're out, they're out numbered. They were outnumbered.
Done. But there's no no one standing up to them, and and
no one what happened in the New f zone though, where they weren't taking
there, there's just taking there. Too many entries by Vegas last night on
attested okay very quickly. And this also alarming for Canuck fans. Here's the
head coach again talking about his team, his players and their current inability and
they have to do this playoffs are coming inability to raise the performance level.
I think as an individual, you look at your game, you know you
and how can I play better? You know what can I do to do
like to be contributed to the team. If every does that, you know
you hope the next game will improve on that because you know, like I
said, you know, some guys gonna look at their shifts and you know,
what can I do different to help the team? You know, we
know the system obviously, but then it comes to you know, there's a
Pelly kill. Can we be a little bit more aggressed on the wall to
get that thing out? I think we were a little light in in there,
which I just thought we were a little light everywhere. And that's not
what That's not the type of game you want when you know you're getting this
stretch drive. So we got to find it quickly. What do you say
to them as a coach to get them to do that, especially with this
tight timeline. I don't go out. I didn't go out after tonight.
Hopefully they talked about it, but you know, you gotta we gotta read
regroup tomorrow. You got to get these guys that energize for the against Arizona.
You know, you gotta get the negativity out of yourself now. But
but as a player, you know, it's not so much negative. You've
got to look at yourself, how I can do better. But we've got
some individuals that they gotta they got to start to have that fight a little
bit more will right now. You can't save it. You can't save it
for two more weeks. It has to happen now because it's hard to turn
it on and off. So who do you think he's talking about there,
Well, he's talking about a lot of his star players. You cannot win
when your star players are not your star players. In Vegas, his best
players were their best players last than the Canucks players. The best one where
they were not Donnie is very simple. Yeah, but four or five players,
that's a large I named you too, Baines and Cole on the first
two goals game, you know, but his archdeep Bain's going to be there
like well, due respect, he's going to be there come playoff time.
Had a tough night. Skill is great, but he just mentioned will.
Skill without Will is not good. You know, it's just not He mentioned
there's guys that have no fight and no will and we are two weeks away
from the player Well, I can't name you who the players are, and
I'll tell you why I didn't notice them. I mean, there's too many
guys you just don't. You just don't. Our friend Jeff Patterson always said,
do something, Do something this crucial time of year, when everybody's criticizing
you, whether they care about this or not, for not coming up big
against these playoff bound teams. Absolutely do something, like I just there's a
lot of guys I just don't notice out there. And that's some some of
the star players as well. Pretty pretty alarming to when you combine that.
You look back to those stats since the All Star break. That was a
great number you pulled out Ryan about them being number one goals for before the
All Star Break and number twenty six or twenty six of overall goals for per
game after the All Star Break. We could go on and on. We've
got to bring up the standings too. And it's again, I'll use the
word alarming if you're a if you're a Canuck fan. Kuzmenko with a couple
of goals last night. On the positive side, Lacara Macki stood out for
Abbats first last night and they clinched the playoff spot. So we'll try to
get to all of that later on DTMZ. Is it just me coming up
in the eleven o'clock our John Shannon is going to join us just after eleven
o'clock. NHL analyst Big Ride, the Twitter guy coming up later and up
next. Rick Taky just mentioned it. We barely mentioned it, but the
Cocks do play again. They have a chance for redemption tonight in Arizona,
they played the Coyotes and joining us next from p h n X Sports.
He covers the Coyotes. He covered Rick Talckett when he was the head coach
of the Coyotes. Steve Peters is going to join us next. Thanks for
tuning in, folks, Donni and Dolly the team, won't you? Dottie
and Dolly. The team is supported by Able Auctions dot c A. Closing
your business you can help Wednesday and all of our guests today are brought to
you by our title sponsor, Able Auctions, Able Auctions dot c A.
Just ahead of Steve Peters, Delandy's Okay, Tyroon Langley the inbox JJ from
Fiji. If the Canucks lose in the first round, the Canucks should seriously
look at PD for Barzel in the off season, reunite p d Andre that
maybe, yeah, I see that happen. But that's the that's the thinking
out there, the panic out there. Why would you trade the guy who
you just signed him like that's good? That's gotta be a dumb text.
Why would you trade him? You just sign them for what eight years?
And you think they're even thinking that? Come on, wake up, I'll
tell you what you think. The Islanders want him. A lot of people
would love to see Matt Barzel bank home in the Vancouver area. Hey,
Donny, if you if you're sitting there telling us Peterson's horrible, he's horrible.
Do you think the Islanders won him for eight years? Steve Peters joins
us now from p h n X Sports in Arizona. Canucks at Arizona tonight,
trying to redeem themselves after what happened last night in Vegas. Steve,
thanks for doing this, sir again. How are you? I'm doing really
well here, nice and sunny and warm here in Arizona. Okay, listen,
Stevens, it's sunny here as well. It's you know, it's you
know plus one, but it is Sonny here. Last time I check in
it cold cold, still cold A Rick Talcket, Steve you he covered him
for the three or four years he was down there as a head coach.
How is he to deal with under some pretty tough circumstances. You know,
it's interesting because I actually I worked for the team for twenty years, so
I had Rick Tockett as a player and assistant coach, and I was his
video coach when he was the head coach here. Wow. The one thing
about Rick Talckett is is people don't give him credit as a really good X
as an OS guy, and I think behind the scenes, he's a guy
that's always trying to improve. He's looking at other teams, he's trying to
see what fits for his team. And I think you see him on the
bench and you just think he's an emotional leader that leads through motivation and he's
kind of that tough guy. It's not who he is. I mean,
he's a guy that's exceptional at exes and o's And I think you're seeing a
Vancouver how well this team defends and how well they play between the blue lines.
This team knows what they're supposed to do. The advantage he has here
versus what he had in Tampa and in Arizona is he's got really good players
and that's the first time in his coaching career where he's been able to put
out the kind of players he has now. And by the way, you're
tekno Peterson. Yeah, if you want to get rid of him, I
think, and he likes to golf, well we'll take him downtown Arizona.
Yeah. Well, what goes through your mind when you see people are here
about people in Vancouver panicking and criticizing their team. Given with the Coyotes have
gone through this season and several seasons back, you know, it's it's one
thing here in Arizona. We just don't you don't deal with the media.
Here is the Arizona tame. You just don't like they don't recognize you to
dinner. I taught to talk about that the other day. And he's he's
a guy that doesn't shy away. He's going out to restaurants. He's not
going to sit in his house. Travis Green is a guy that said when
it wasn't going well, he'd hide out at home. But talk's going out
and he's going to tell you what he thinks. And you guys know his
media members, he's really good at telling you what's on his mind. And
and I think that you know, in Arizona, they we're lucky, I
guess in a way, but you don't have that pressure. And to watch
Vancouver fans right now panicking over a team that's competing for a President's Trophy,
it's crazy. The one thing abut Vancouver, they can do it all.
They can play physical, they can play one nothing, they can play eight
to seven, they can do everything. So you know, I know they're
not playoff tested and there is a level of concern there, but they are
able to win in a lot of different ways. So if I'm a Vancouver
fan, I'm excited going into this, into this playoff season. Steve's when
it comes to Coyotes, let's start that conversation with something positive. Josh Dones
first three NHL games, Shane Dones' son, two goals, three assists,
a second round pick. What has he shown you? You know, it's
interesting because I've watched Josh since he was a little kid, and at every
stage I said he can't play. He's not going to play in juniors.
He's not going to be able to compete in college. He won't be able
to compete at an American league level. I thought he was too small at
one point, he was too slow at another point. But every time he's
challenged, he blows through the brick wall. And I tell you what,
Josh don't competes well. He skates well, and he's extremely smart. He's
a guy that's going to be above the puck all the time. If you're
supposed to dump it, he'll dump it. He has fun to watch and
five points in three games now he's better than his dad, who had four
point points in his first three games. So we remind Shane of that often.
He's a kid that you're going to look for in the future. I
mean, he's going to be a leader. I don't think he's got the
explosive skill like a Logan Cooler or a Dylan Gunther for some of the young
guns here. But he's a guy that's going to be in that top six.
I mean I can see him second line and he's going to produce,
and he's going to be a guy you can throw it in all situations.
And for a Vancouver Canuck fan that doesn't know much about the Coyotes. He's
one guy to keep your eye at number ninety one. He's going to make
things happen around the blue paint and he's a fun player to watch. Steve.
I always sometimes think your fan boy, your fan base in Arizona,
did something to piss off the hockey gods. Eleventh time in the past twelve
years, no playoffs, numerous owners, arena deals, all this stuff.
How long do you think, because if you've been out of the playoffs for
eleven years, that's a lot of high draft picks that you should have turned
it around by now. How long before you think they can get back to
the postseason. You know you're right, and you look at some of the
draft mistakes ahead with John Ker losing a first round pick with some some issues
that they had there that was costly, and you look at a Dylan Strom
that didn't pan out here in Arizona the way they had hoped to, when
Kyle Turist didn't pan out here the way they had hoped to. The drafts
haven't gone well for Arizona until Bill Armstrong took over. And now you're with
the players who mentioned I don't know if you've Dylan Gunther. We might have
Pup picked up in an olive recomonolition trade, but that's another story. But
the Dylan Gunter, Logan Cooley, Josh Doan, and you're looking at some
of the they have some really strong players in the KHL right now in Simachevan
Daniel boot It's coming, Maverick Lamarou, you know Connor Geeky. The young
guys are finally coming in their pipeline. Unfortunately it's not next year, and
it's probably not the year after. For a Cooties fans and Coyote's fans have
heard until next year, as you've said, almost for twenty years now.
And I know they had the blip on the radar in twenty twelve or they
made it to the Western finals. But this is a team that doesn't make
the playoffs. And you're right, it's now or never, like the new
arena has to happen. That doesn't happen, this team will not be here
and you've got to get the arena built. Luckily, for Kyes fans,
the timing of the new building with all of these guys coming through the pipeline
should be about the same time, So we're saying, keep hearing it hanging
in there till twenty seven to twenty eight and maybe we'll see the playoffs then,
Steve, Do you sometimes think, though, why the NHL they've moved
other teams they've they've moved them. Do you sometimes think why they they always
keep giving the Coyotes, not two, not three, not four, like
ten chances? Like, what is it about that market? The NHL won't
leave? Yeah, it's funny. Gary Bettman has had a commitment to this
market since the Coyotes have moved here. And I tell you what they should
think. They're lucky stars he does, because this is it. They've been
ripe for relocation several times, and it was minutes away from moving to Portland
when Wayne Gretzky saved the team with a last minute part ownership. And then
when Winnipeg moved from Atlanta, the Arizona was right there and it was close.
The discussions right now are Salt Lake City and it's real and they're ready,
and this is it for Arizona. There are there are no more kicks
at the case they build a building now or this team is leaving. And
I think it's too bad. Because this fan base is here. And I
think the one reason they've got so many opportunities is because it's a huge TV
market in the Southwest in the United States, and so I think that's what
bought them the time. But this is it. Their nine lives are over.
The auction is scheduled for this summer, and if they don't get this
new land to build a building on, I think this team will be gone.
Yeah, such a great area. Okay, Steve updates about that,
you've mentioned it, but you mentioned the auction the land twenty seven, twenty
eight. Where are we with something new for the Coyotes building wise? You
know, they're just waiting for the State Land Board to announce the auction date.
We're anticipating that as soon as today, in as late as Friday,
and the auction is scheduled for the middle of June. And we have not
heard of any other bidders at this time. Eighty percent of the auctions that
the state puts up land that they put up for auction have one bidder has
one bidder, So we're hopeful that it's just Alex Morello and then it's up
to him. You know, constantly said he has the money. He's constantly
said he's a billionaire, but now it's his time to prove it. So
pull out the checkbook, win the auction, and then this is all over.
And then the arena they're anticipating opening in the season twenty seven to twenty
eight, so that means three more years at Mullet Arena. And that's it.
That's in Tempe, is it? Yeah? And that's I tell you
what. Every And I tell you what if you guys haven't had the opportunity
to see. It's five thousand seats and it is probably a practice rink there
in the Vancouver metro area. But if you want to see, you will
see the Vancouver Canucks from thirteen rows away. I'd love it. It is
fantastic place to watch a game. Okay, what one more note of positivity
here. Josh Don't played his minor hockey from what I understand, in Arizona.
You know, and every level right up to the National Hockey League Austin
Matthews, KH Thompson NHLP players from Arizona. Is a thing. How much
has hockey grown there? How much has minor hockey grown in that part of
the world. Yeah, you know, it's it's it's amazing. And I
think that's the effect of the Coyotes. And when you see all of these
a lot of these players retire here and then they their kids play here,
and then not only that, they begin coaching. I mean, we've got
Derek Derek, but why am I forgetting Derek Morris or Michael Grabner, Tyson
Nash. All of these guys become coaches in the minor hockey program and and
I think that really helps. And then once you get one, once you
get one player there, and now it's the Austin Matthews effect, and guys,
we can do it from here. And you look at the two top
players in the Toronto Mape believes, well maybe not the top, but but
Maddie Nys is in there. We got Maddie Knights and Austin Matthews, both
from Arizona. By the way, if they want to return, we we'd
be glad to help them look for real estate to play here in Arizona.
We could go on and on. Steve, this has just been fabulous.
Thanks so much for this. Yeah, you bet anytime, anytime, Sonny
and one degree up here. Yeah, thanks to I don't even know what
what the degree it is. It was cold this morning, that's all.
Was cold last night. Don On the weekend, I turned the heat off,
and then every day is cold for you, mister Fort Saint John too

big fan of this song. Oh good too, great intro April Wine.
You're thought this is good, but tonight isn't wonderful? You had to look
it up? No, No, tonight is a wonderful time is their best
song? I didn't have to look it up. What do you christ?
Miles Goodwin just left us as a matter of fact. Oh really, front
man for April Wine. I hope I'm right there. That's a big OAF
is wrong too. You're a good point. Why did I bring that up?
Like broadcasting? No? No poll question the Waddling Dog poll quest past
in December. There you go, recently visit one of Victoria's favorite pubs where
you can enjoy twenty taps and twenty screens. Say hello to your friends there,
say and people who are your friends say hello. You're home for the
Canucks in UFC. Come sit and stay at the Dog today. Poll question
Rick, Those NHL standings Canuck wise in the Pacific Division very interesting right now?
Oilers just five points behind the Canucks. Both teams play tonight. They
have two games in hand on Vancouver. All right, Ryan, get her
up. Ryan, put this away, and that the ball up. I
liked what Derek was doing. That. That was what did Derek do.
He showed the standings. I don't want the standings. No, No,
let's establish the standings here. All right, we're good, Okay, go
for it, Rick, Okay. So the Canucks five points up on the
Owners, but they do have two games in hand on and you know the
owners are Oilers have two games. Owners have two games in that Vancouver and
by the way, Edmonton in Dallas tonight. That's a top tough game.
Canucks win tonight Edmonton and all of a sudden, yeah, just look at
a whole lot better. If that happens, the Canucks would be seven points
ahead, seven with two games in hand. The Oilers would Okay, Ryan,
get the pull You getting the pull up? Okay, you can't do
that. Just confuse me, you can't do that. Just get the pull
up? All right. Our Waddlin Dog poll question who will finish first in
the Pacific Division, and fifty eight percent say the Canucks and forty two.
It's pretty high. Done. Forty two is pretty high. See the Oilers
over eight hundred votes. It's almost split. A lot of oinner fans in
the city too. We have to keep that in mind. I think there's
more Canuck fans. Yeah, I know, but that's high to be in
Vancouver. If you did this poll in Edmonton, don, I don't think
you'd have forty two. You'd have forty two saying Knucks. So there are
a ton of oinner fans in the city. Sadness the great observation. Sadly
to say, Uh, by the way, Don, Edmonton's got five tough
games where they play teams that are really good in a playoff position. The
Canucks have four tough games. So to make it a little bit easier for
you, the Canucks have three easy games. The owners have four easy We're
talking about the Arizona's and the Calgaries and stuff like that. And yeah,
they play Arizona twice sort of the Canucks if I not mistaken. Yeah,
the Canucks play also played Calgary. I'm talking about Edmonton, and they played
San Jose. They got San Jose. But boy, look at their next
three out of the four for Edmonton, Dallas, Colorado and Vegas. That'll
be bad. And keeping in mind that on the thirteenth, which is a
Saturday, the Canucks and Owners play each other. Yeah, they so they
play each other as well. And I believe the Oilers played the night before
against Arizona, right right, Yes, but they do have two more games
than the Connucks. Look, the thought of asking this question two weeks ago,
maybe one week ald go for sure. I mean, would just get
criticized. We'll get criticized all the time, especially one submission yesterday. That's
another story. But you imagine the heat we would have taken. But it
would just be out of nowhere. But look at this five points, it's
doable. I mean, you talk about it. You know, an Edmonton
team that's got some pretty good players on it, you could you could see
it. You could come down to that game, Donnie, Vancouver Edmonton because
they and then after that the Orders have a couple of soft games, so
they could end up getting four points right after the Vancouver game. So we'll
see Delaney's okay. Tyrion Langley inbox Darren from Colonna. Canucks losing six to
three last night to Vegas down four to one after one period. It was
pretty much over at that point, Darren from Colona Again, don't you guys
think that PDE's contract messed with the team's chemistry? He gets paid big dollars
for not producing. Signing him to an extension completely reminds me of signing Messier
back in the late nineties. Wreck. That's Darren from Colona for a third
time. Yeah, I don't know if his contract, you know, didn't
they win right after his contract? I think he's got a winning record.
The Canucks sins have messed with the LEAs pet yeah, you know, which,
of course affects the entire team. But all due respect to Darren,
keep in mind that as much heat as Mark Messier takes in this market.
And did you see what happened on April Fool's Day was the Canucks sorry tweeted
out as a joke that Canucks were going to put Mark Messier into the Ring
of Honor. I couldn't believe a lot of people who I felt think fell
for it, who bought it. As much as you want to criticize Messier,
his contract was only three years. It was only three and that's not
eight. Yeah, and it didn't have a no trade clause in it.
As well, So that was huge as well. Uh No, I don't
think there's similarities between Messi and Patterson. Look at ones eight years, one's
three. Hey, look they're still trying to sign guys out there. You
know, you still got to try and sign Heronic. If they signed Heronic,
is that gonna screw with team chemistry? I mean they're talking to some
other agents about deals. I think when it comes to contracts and team chemistry,
yeah, like for the most All right, Look, I'm not in
the room or anything like that. Obviously. I don't think players care or
coaches care, right if they all realize they're in a business, And I
don't think somebody's going into the corner battling for a puck thinking I why should
I try? I try? I should not make it more than Peterson here.
Yeah, maybe some guys do that. I'm not really sure, but
I kind of doubt it. Okay. Meanwhile, Business Tuesday, able Auctions,

dot c A. Canucks losing six y three to Vegas last night in Arizona
tonight. Let's focus now a little bit down the road from where we are.
Abbotsford, British Columbia, four to three, Abbotsford over Manitoba last night,
and those two teams playing again tonight in Abbotsford. Abbotsford the Canucks,
the Baby Canucks. If you want to call him that clinch American Hockey League
playoff spot. And I know you wanted to focus on Jonathan LEKARAMACKI who has
played under the radar. I would say three games for the Abbotsford Cannucks.
Now, yeah, three That was his home debut last night, Donnie,
he had five shots. Only one player, Linus Carlson had more shots than
him last night. But look at this a nice deal there. You gotta
love that five shots last night. Here's an opportunity on a breakaway. L
Karamaki, puck got a little bit away from him. Done. But okay,
he's got zero points in three games. But what I like is the
shot totals. Okay, he's around the net, he's creating chances as he
did with the getting the turnover. Hey, look, this kid's gonna be
good. This kid and give him time. He just got here from Sweden
a week ago. There's the transition, he had to go to Colorado for
two games. You got the travel involved, you got all that stuff.
He's been last night was probably talked to somebody last night. That was his
best game last night so far for sure. Well, I mean when you
look at these highlights, and one thing that sticks out wearing the number forty
four, because it doesn't look out of place. No, again, it's
hard to tell with you know, short clips like that, but just the
pivot he made their accepting the pass on that one golden opportunity, he just
does not look out of place at all. Again, it's the American Hockey
League level. I realized it's another level to the National Hockey League. But
that's a good sign. Good shod and he's got new teammates. He just
got to Vancouver a week ago, get the kids some time to get acclimatized.
I thought he was great last night, five shots. So those two
teams play again tonight in Abbotsford. Also, we should mention that the Vancouver
Giants, we had Ron toygo of the Giants on the show yesterday. They
host Everett tonight at the Langley Event Center. That is Game three of their
Western Hockey League series, tied somewhat surprisingly at one, keeping in mind the
Giants finished twenty seven points behind in the to the hockey standings, and ever
it's got the first overall pick in the Baham Draft. Oni, they're gonna
get that kid out of Calgary who's going to be rushed, not rushed,
but he's going to be playing in the Western Hockey Thague as a fifteen year
old next year. DuPont's kid, Mickey DuPont. So that's it's gonna be
a big deal for that is a hockey name. Mickey DuPont. No,
his dad playing the NHL. DuPont You remember his dad Andre no No,
keep going. He played in the Arizona DuPonts for five hundred two punts.
You you're you know you Ryan, Mickey Andre DuPont. Knock Andrea Moose DuPont
DuPont Not not that DuPont in Philadelphia. Come on, guys, help me
that way back? Who's DuPont. Big defense has been warning this is about
twenty thousand Mickey DuPont No, So we all get it on the other side
of the commercial ball, right, can you not get it? Anyways?
His dad playing in the NHL. This kid they're calling the next general rational
player. He's out of Calgary. JP Dumont. That's it, JP,
JP is in it or not? Yes, it is JP Dumont's kid,
DuPont's kid. This is a big deal. This kid's coming over. You
said racking in DuPont five hundred times in this segment. I said, what
Racking and DuPont? Anyways, this kid JP Dumont's kid, This guy watch
him out. But he's gonna be good. He's gonna be good. We
think his dad's last name was DuPont. We know that. And he played
played in the NHL. See how old I am automatically went to move.
You thought Moose DuPont and the Flyers, right, Oh, he was tough,
scary looking. He was on the brun Street bullies. Yes, yes,
Moose was tough, tough, toughest nails. Can I just say quickly
I shouted to DuPont. No, shout out to Dave Hall and Ben Lipka
for the Karamaki highlights. They've been covering everything Abbitsford they do. Both of
them do great work. Oh and and you didn't mention Peterson the defenseman played
DPD. Yeah ep no ep e p D. You call him? Yeah,

trying to get through of our viewers. So I want to I want to
sneak this one, and this is Alex and Angela. Alex went over to
visit Angela, who's been over in Victoria his wife for a month. So
Alex went over there. They stopped at the Waddling Dog Pub. Probably saw
a good pal. Brandon got a couple of bucket hats. Oh look,
join the Wadling Dog Pub. So big fans of the show, too,
business are we giving? I know, Brandon, they're doing a pretty good

last night merch sales really going well lately. Yeah, going well. Thanks
so much, folks. Yeah sure, Thank you to Alex for sending over
this photo, and thank you for buying our bucket hats as well. Okay,
one thing that we did not talk about yesterday is what happened on Monday
night with women's college basketball. Okay, arguably, it's not arguable. The
biggest women's college basketball game happened on Monday night between Iowa and LSU, rating
twelve point three million viewers on ESPN tuned into Iowa LSU, marking it the
most watched NCAA women's basketball game ever. The title game between Iowa and LSU
last year so that was for all the marbles. Nine point nine million was
on ABC. It's also the best college basketball game any gym agenda on ESPN's
channels. For ratings, it's the strongest rated game ever. So that twelve
point three million, if you want to stack it up against some other events.
I got some tweets here, so okay, here we go into hockey.
Hockey. Hockey's not even mentioned here, so that just say that twelve
point three million. It tops the men's Leite eight game between Purdue and Tennessee
on Sunday, the Golden Globe, this past year's Golden Globes, nine point
five, the final round of last year's Masters, for the five games of
the NBA Finals in twenty twenty three, in every World Series game in twenty
twenty three as well again, and no mention Donnie Day, and no mention
in the NHL. And I think that shows I mean the NHL, I
think will be quite low in comparison to this twelve point three. So look,
it was a perfect storm, and there's a lot of reasons for this
number. Caitland Clark's a big one out of Iowa. Angel Reese ut LSU
was another big one. As well, a lot of storylines. There's a
ton of storylines. But also the other thing is what has gone away from
men's college basketball, and that's the fact these women aren't won and done.
They're there, they're at these schools. You're getting to know them year after
years. You know, there was all this build up about Angel Reese versus
Caitlin Clark again, a repeat even though it's not the title game, but
a repeat battle between these two women and these two schools who clearly don't like
each clearly don't like each other, and that that that's a great storyline.
It's a great thing for sports. People don't hear that, no not liking
each other, but it seems that way. And I tells, hey where
I got I totally, absolutely absolutely it was and that was a great night.
And look the numbers back it up. It's the most watched any gender
college basketball game on ESPN. That's a big deal. Caitlyn Clark and Angel
Reese are both getting head to the w NBA, so they're gonna lose them.
But there are a lot of people that were thinking Caylan Clark maybe should
have stayed because she was gonna make that nil money she's in endorsement. She's
in a bunch of commercials in the States for a bunch of different product products
that she's gonna go to the w NBA. She's still an endorsed test herself.
Uh. The nl NIL money's gone, but it was. There was
a lot of buzz about this game, in particular on Monday night. Now
the final four set and you're gonna have Caitland Clark going to try and win
a national title with Iowa in the in the final four. So uh yeah,
very oppressive rating for that game on Monday night. And I wonder what
that means in this country when it comes to not just this country, but
North America it comes to women's hockey. If we'll see something like that one
day when it comes to the pro league. Yeah, I mean, look
at they've had these games that they flexed into you know, Scotia Bank Arena.
I think they did one in Bell Center in Montreal, Pittsburgh, they
did one which went over very well, right where they've gone to the bigger
building and they've got a big attendance. Uh, And I think that's kind
of a way to do it instead of just having them constantly play in these
bigger buildings. Well, I think too. You got to get to know
the people, and that was used to some extent. You got to know,
uh, you got to know Clark and Reese and that they didn't like
each other and they were both very good and that that that opened up a
lot of doors. So absolutely, women's hoops. Absolutely. Okay, that's
it for me, coming up next a day earlier than usual, that's it.
They were getting a lot of texts wondering if we could see a picture
of mouse DuPont's how scary? Hey he broad street bullies. Boy, he
was tough. I mean you just looked at him. And when they came
into town, I'm sorry, it was like a bike your gang and everybody.
It was like a big, big chero had them rolling. Boy,
Bobby Clark, I mean, is this moose? Yeah, you want to
run it? That's what it's cut off. It's cut off. You can't
see it all right. There's no photos that are all that menacing that looks
would you want to run into that guy? This is kind of menacing.
I guess this photo here there you go against the Red Army. That was
the Russian guy. Yeah, that was the most behaved. He was during
that game, him and Ed Van imp not running rough shot the nickname moose
anymore. I remember a player going way back on the Blackhawks named Elmer Moose.
Vasco wasn't Uh what about Hebburd, wasn't he moose? Yeah? Right,
yeah, that's because people thought it was funny that he played for a
team, and when he played for Pittsburgh called the Manitoba moose, and he
just became moose. Right yeah, all right, right that's true. God,
you got that all established. I don't want to mess with a person
named moose. No, no, no kidding, John Channon coming up next
time. We also will at some point. You don't want to mess with
the moose. We don't want to mess with the well Rick claims he's got
a story. That's a lie. Now, you hit a moose. I
hit a moose with the company radio event keep driving somehow? Yeah I was.
I wasn't going fast. I hit the moose. Why do you Why
are you having a tough time believing that it's Micky DuPont was involved. Uh,
we will at some point talk about if you haven't seen it yet,
Adam, the former Bath guys provided us an amazing piece of content good guy
in this show. We'll mention it at some point and then maybe we'll hear
more about Rix Moose story. John Shannon's coming up next though. It's Donnie
the team id Check. Hey everyone, it's Donnie and Dolly, and we're
looking to partner with your company. We have several packages and price points to

advertise at Checkmedia dot ca A. It was JP Dumont, by the way,
not DuPont. I was wrong there. He used to play for Nashville.
It is Wednesday. All of our guests today, including John Shannon.
I don't know John can talk about JP Dumont, but I know he can
talk about Moose DuPont. All of our guests today brought to you by our
title sponsor able Actions at ABELOCXS dot c A. As we're joined now by
NHL analyst and co host of the Bob McCowen podcast, brought to you by
Abel and they're racking John Shannon. John, thanks for doing this, sir.
How are you. I am great boys Moose DuPont boy. I'll tell
you what. It takes me back to my teenage years watching the Philadelphia Flyers
change hockey for five years. Yeah. Was that good for the sport at
the time? They want? Probably not? Probably not, you know,
but what it did do was it it set the stage for a for the
classic art of intimidation that has existed for a long period of time. It
actually lasted longer than the Broad Street Bullies. Yeah, in so many ways.
Or you know, and hey, listen. One of the craziest nights
in the history of the Vancouver Canucks was a Sunday night in nineteen eighty Flyers
Canucks. I think there were some lawsuits, Donnie, if you remember way
back then. Yeah, goaltender by the name of Bob Taylor among others going
into the stands at the coliseum. It was something imagine that today was social
media. Memory serves me, Memory serves me. That was the same weekend
that the USA beat Russia and Finland to win the gold medal in Lake Placid,
and so we were celebrating how great the game was at the Olympic and
we had four hundred penalty minutes at the Coliseum. Yeah yeah, trust bank
over to go completely against what's good for the game of good for the game
of hockey. But I do remember that because the goaltender's name was Taylor,
Bob Taylor. Well, and I tell you what, just as a complete
aside, you know who the Flyers Laurier was at the time, and it
made him very famous. Within Edge Snyder's world was Gil Stein, who became
president of the NHL. Yeah, he became the president of the National Hockey
League for seven months and then tried to put himself into the Hockey Hall of
Fame. Yes, yeah, Well I tried to do that with the BC
Sports Hall of Fame and I was successful. Well, I can get into
the BC Hockey BC Hall of Fame because I can pay the eight dollars admission.
Yeah, John, it was eight fifty, I'll have you know.
All right, Vegas over the Canucks sixty three. Knucks have lost three of
four there now just five points. Well, they weren't going into it yesterday
five points ahead of the Oils. Oilers have two games a hand. So
what is not there with the Canucks right now versus what was there before the
All Star break? Well, I think you do have to pinpoint a little
bit at that your demco, you know. And I also think that and
and Rick Talkett has been adamant about this all season long, about process,
to the point we were tired of hearing the word process that the teams do
go through these you know, these these times of insecurity, these times of
of not being able to complete the task. Uh. It's happening at an
inopportune time for the Canucks. But I'm not really too worried. Actually,
the biggest thing for me last night was I actually think that KEITHA Zidoros are
getting picked on. And you're gonna laugh at me for saying I agree.
I think that I think the league has created a different standard for somebody that
big. Uh. And and because one of those two penalties wasn't a penalty,
yeah, and the other penalty I think was two minutes not five.
John Sidney Crosby sixteen points in his last five games. He's got the Penguins
now within striking distance of the playoffs. He has not scored sixteen points in
five games since twenty to thirteen. Unbelievable. He's got eighty four points.
He's putting that team on his back. And saying, let's march to the
playoffs if we can do it. And I believe that's now nineteen seasons of
a point a game that's yes, which is remarkable. Yep, remarkable.
I think only Wayne has done that. So that tells you how good Crosby
has been. There's a lot of pressure on Sidney Crosby this year in so
many ways because when they made the change in management and Kyle Dubis took over
part of this whole thing to hold this group together one more time. The
tang and Malkin particularly was on the assistance of Sidney Crosby and he thought they
deserved one last chance to go the distance. So when we looked six weeks
ago and the Penguins were floundering, a lot of people were saying, well,
sid got what he wanted, and I think he's taken that responsibility to
heart and has done a magnificent job. You know, they weren't happy that
Jake Genzel got traded at the time, and I think that that put them
in a bit of a funk. But at the same time, what a
great leader on and off the ice Crosby has been for the Penguins. And
don't wor. The other thing is I think Alex Nadalkovich has gone seven straight
games in goal, and he was not supposed to be the start at Golton.
This was Tristan Jarry's team. Jarry got the long term contract and Nadalkovich
came in as the number two guy, and right now they're doing a lot
of good things with him in goal, and that, to me is another
fascinating story in Pittsburgh, John, I want to ask you about John Tortorella.
He had that thirty eight second press conference a week ago and the day
after he apologized he ripped the team. A couple of nights ago. He
wouldn't answer questions about healthy scratching, Sean Conturier, how he handles the media
and his team, Like does it get old? Like, I mean,
we saw it in Vancouver, but we only saw it in Vancouver for one
year. But I'm seeing a lot of people come out and saying, look,
this guy is just not this is not right the way he handles the
media and then he handles his players. I'll tell you what. Rick,
go online and Ryan can go find it. His press conference today. Yeah
I saw it today, he went, yeah, no it it was remarkable.
It was as open and transparent as I have ever heard a coach in
the history of the game. Wow to the point where oh, no,
no, you It deserves the amount of time to watch it because at the
end of it, I find I would find anybody who's close to this game
wouldn't want to play for this guy because he talked about his how he deals
with players. He talks about how he deals with the challenges of coaching a
young team. It was a brilliant, brilliant press conference today and well worth
the watch. And you're right, he gets too abrupt, he gets too
emotional at times, but he also deals, you know, looks you in
the eye and deals with things quickly and effectively. And he used the word
today in the press conference, transparency. And I couldn't help but admire John
Torrirella today for what he did and he had And not that they they they
follow him, you know, blindly, but I think the media there was
very appreciative of what he said today, and it was it's something that if
if you can find it on social media, it's something well worth listening to,
because he was really they talking to the media in Philadelphia in philip did
he mention Moose DuPont by any chance, nobody he would. He would never
have been mad at Moose Dupe. His type of player. He would never
accuse mouse mouse DuPont of not trying. Yeah, because you know, darn
well, every one of those flyers, they were accountable to each other and
accountable to Fred Schiro and Ed Snyder at that point. Yeah, say what
you want about them. Nobody criticized their effort. John, this has been
great as always, and thank you so much. We'll talk to you next
week. I'm not used to this Wednesdays, guys. You know I got
you know, I'm a guy of routine, a guy of routine. As
long as tomorrow is it, Thomas Drants, I'm okay, Yeah, no
Friday, he won't be replacing you tomorrow. Don't worry. Thanks, John,
appreciate it. I know John has tweeted out a lot about the the
Art Ross race right now. It's just yeah, it's crazy, absolutely fabulous.
Kutrov a kid had tied at one to twenty seven each, and McDavid
at one point behind something else. And you got six players about to be
a seven or eight who have one hundred points or more. Yep, offenses
alive and well in the National Likely League. JT. Miller could get there
too, Donny, Yep, yep. All right, let's take a break.
We'll update the poll question next again. Cannucks at Arizona tonight after losing
last night in Vegas, and our poll question focusing on the standings atop the
Pacific Division. That's next. Donnie Dolly the team, I check, Dolly
and Dolly the team is supported by Abelauctions dot ca A closing your business you
can help. Wattling Dog whole question is one of Victoria's favorite pubs where you
can enjoy twenty taps, the twenty screens. You're home for the Canucks and
UFC. Come sit and stay at the Dog today. Both the Oilers and
Canucks in action tonight. And as we look at the standings on top of
that Pacific Division, you'll notice has been the case most of the season,
Canucks on top. They've got the one hundred points, but lo and behold
the Oilers with two games in hand after that Canuck loss last night, five
points behind. You know what, Edmonton, they're saying it's doable, and
that leads to the Wattling Dog pole question. All right, Ryan get her
up our waddling dog pop pool question who will finish first in the Pacific Division?
Fifty eight percent say the Canucks forty two, the Oilers nine hundred and
twenty four votes, and the Canucks are lucky. The Saint Louis b Edmonton
the other day, Donnie and got that extra point in the time too,
because if they didn't in Edmonton, won that be a whole lot closer.
And people in Edmonton upset with that game. They had a couple of disallowed
goals included, but they were blaming that Evander Kaine who's having trouble scoring these
days. Let me just touch on something that John had to say. I'm
not saying this was the be all and end all. You know, Conncks
deserved to lose last night. Yeah, but I agree on with Nikita's the
door off and he is so big and strong, and I think that there
is and I don't know if it's something that's done consciously, but when when
somebody's that big, that strong and physical, I don't think they get many
breaks from the referees, especially against small players, big guy small guys.
Petra Angelo isn't small bull. His head snapped back and I know Rick Rick
Talkeett hates that. And this was the uh the check from behind yesterday.
He had the suspension earlier in Detroit. Remember Raymond the headshot and uh so
he's been on the radar for that. Deserves something. Yeah that did that
did this did not This did not deserve because Miller got one of these in
a game in Vancouver who was a Dallas mansa Josh Man. It was against
Colorades in Colorado, and he got only two minutes for I thought that was
worse than this. Yeah, I'm not justifying this, but his thing.
And we went to the minor hockey team I was involved in. We had
a player this bigger and stronger than everybody else and he just got penalty after
pennal. A lot of it was just because just because he's stuck out like
a sore thumb. Great, those big kids stand out big time. Okay,
let's do some business here. Yeah, look at this. Absolutely Pastime

laptop. Oh he didn't change it, No he did. He did.
Oh yeah, remember he did. The card I picked for today as the
canuckstack on the Arizona Coyotes tonight. No, this is Milos Keleman, and
Milos has paid fourteen games for the Why would you pick a guy that no
one's here got played fourteen games, got an upper Deck car? He said,
yeah, he does have a car. He does have a car,
so say he and he's a young guy according to the upper Deck drafted the
young Gun Slovakia left winger. Yeah, oh so this isn't a guy from
ten years ago. This is guy right now. This is a guy right
now. He's only played fourteen games total, I believe, right, But
he's and his dad used to play with JP Dumont. He did DuPont DuPont.
It's yeah, okay, that's the car and the puck. I always
love this puck and I continue to put it out. Okay, no,
the King Richard Burdure because that the autograph is so good there. I love
that he took time with that. It's not just a scribble. Yes,
So yeah, there's that. Do you want to hear? I do have
a clip? Did you find the Yeah? I had to clean it up
a little because there was a little bit of swearing in it. But towards
today spoke for like twenty minutes almost to the Philadelphia media. This is what
John alluded to. Yeah, he'd loved Yeah, and this ninety seconds that
I'm about to play is the part that's really been going around on making the
media today from towrts's presser. So this is towrt's earlier today in Philly.
It always comes down to right. It always comes Oh, they're gonna quit
on him. It follows me around if and so be it. If a
player is gonna quit on me, or players are going to quit on me
because I'm trying to make them better people and better athletes. You got the
wrong damn coach here, and you got the wrong damn people here. So
I'm not sure what goes on. My job is I am going to push
athletes and I try to stay away from I have other things on my mind
that I don't give you. I was in control the other night. What
I said I meant and quite honest when I watched the tape. Now I'm
more concerned than just the second period because of I'm so proud of the team
getting here, and I guess now the narrative out there is because I've heard
from other people that they're young, they're not supposed to be here. We're
here, We're here, face it and let's be better. And I don't
think we're ready to be better. And that's my problem with a right now,
and it is my job. I have not done a good enough job
to get them over the hump after playing those seven games and then each game
is that goes down. We have six left. I haven't done a good
enough job to make him understand we have to be different now, we have
to be at a different level. That's my frustration with me, and that's
my frustration with the team. And if people can't handle it, so be
it. He's never really changed. I think what you forget about in this
situation with John Toroderella and the Philadelphia Flyers. You hear him the other night
criticizing his team second period, calling him soft or light whatever he ripped,
and he's constantly pushing his guys. Lord knows what he does in the dressing
room, but he's pushing him through the media as well. You forget that
they're in a playoff spot playoffs right now and have been for I believe most
of the season. He alluded to that there. They're having a pretty good
season to the point where I seem to recall that there's some people saying that
at one point anyway, maybe John Torterella is the very least a candidate for
the Adams Award. We talked about it, and they lost their starting goaltender
halfway through the year. Done. He had to get up and leave and
go. Yeah. I mean, they've had a lot of injuries to this
year. But he's done a great job. But it's just today's younger players
don't want to get called out like he calls out players in the in the
in the media conferences. But again, it's it's it's it's it's the blender
that I don't know if that is because you have this very honest, nothing
really wrong here. Then you do have the moments where he has a press
conference and he chooses not to answer a question about the goaltender. Then he
apologizes for it. Sure, but like, I just don't know, can
you have that much of this all year long? Eighty? But are you
surprised that? And I'm not surprised that I'm saying, I don't know.
He hasn't changed his act. He's got a couple of Adams Awards, and
I know he comes across his old school. For a lot of people,
you probably I don't like that he's got himself a stand like that. It's
not that I don't like it. I'm just saying, I just don't necessarily
know that you can, like, look at we've had moments this year that
talk. It has either a roundabout way written a player or criticized the player,
or come out straight up criticize the player, which he did that one
time with Peterson and then walked it back. But he for the most part,
it's pretty this in the post games with talking and that's what I mean.
I just don't know if you can have that. You say that,
and yet and the results of the results. I know, I know he's
had success, I know, right and for Vancouver aside for him, a
lot of players like playing for him. But there's a ton that don't.
I mean, that's every coach in the national hockey you know. It all
comes down to ice time guarantee. By the way, I know, we
wanted to get us some other subjects. We'll save Adam the former BAF guy
for for tomorrow. Adam, if you're out there, we're going to talk
about you tomorrow. But the other day Rick Hackett talked about Pederson. I
thought this was alarming, And man, I tell you our Delaney's okay,
taring Langley in boxes full of criticism towards EP forty. You know, his
production coupled with the the big contract. But the other day Rick Towckett talked
about him not moving his feet. Yeah, and we just talked recently about
how so much of this stuff that happens in minor hockey, and one of
the things that coaches always say at the lowest levels, move your feet,
move your feet. That's that's alarming. If if he talk it feels he's
not moving his feet. And you hear it in every rink from here to
Newfoundland movie, especially minor hockey. You and I have been in the dance
Move your feet, parents yelling at their kids all the time, move your
feet, move your feet. We all did it. We all did it.
And then you know the coaches yelling move your feet. Now you hear
it all the time everywhere. Okay, we're good. Rick did his business.
Yeah, you did it. Trust me and our thanks to Milos Killeman

funniest shows ever. Talk to Conan O'Brien, Letterman those they all let her
hear that revered that you played that instead of him famously in Happy Gilmore saying
Jackass over and over to Adams. Sound was that funny? Saying jackass to
you. Right, he was annoying, but he was like what a secondary
character. He was front and center and set all the tributes. I saw
people posting of his they don't know, they don't know sc TV and how
big it was and how revered, how revered it was and still is.
You know it just from the eighties. It's absolutely And they produced so many
great comedians. You went on to so many great things. You're gonna hate
hearing this. Ryan Joe Flaherty won Emmys in eighty two and eighty three for
his writing on sc TV. He was introduced to younger generations through turns as

of a show called Even Stevens. I watched really he was also also he
was Teacher Freaks and Geeks. He was in as well, What's Geeks.
It was a cult show, didn't lasted one season. He launched a lot
of a lot of careers. He was eighty two years old. Count Floyd

Bernie Paran was something else, like we were right behind the Flyers net for
two periods and oh my gosh, so the first time I noticed a goldtander.
How a goaltender could I know, this is like so obvious nowadays,
but if a goaltender could not only stop a shot, but stop a shot,

corner so there's no rebound. Really good. He's a big part of their

me deb a check. Well, what was one of them? One ne
Orlando was one Hey Neil Bellin, which you couldn't get. April third,
Bellin and Schleebner got called up Donnie from Frederick and just before the eighties two
Kevin McCarthy got her Cam Kevin mccrushy. They did a great job, by
the way, Bellin and Schleebner. Is it just me? Probably sponsored by
Quinslom Communications grip. By the way, when I said March there, thanks
guys for helping me out there, the leading local communications integrator on Vancouver Island.
Yes, right, as usual, we just didn't listen to you.
It's so true. Specializing in two way radios are f Antanna Solutions and commercial
communications. Quinslom is your trusted partner. They've got a new port Alberni location.
You can explore an array of two way radio sell boosters, Donnie and
Dolly merchandise, Quitscommunications dot ca connecting people through technology. Is it just me?
Rick? Is it just me? If the Canucks keep losing to top
teams, it will be out in the first round four straight boockets as Ralph
in Coquitlam be out in four straight. Yeah, they'll be out in four
straight if they keep losing the top teams. There are now one in four
in their last five games against top teams. That's not good. This is
from Mount Pleasant Gal. Is it just me? But it was great to
hear a refreshing outside perspective from Steve Peters regarding the Canucks instead of constant negativity
p D bashing that gets so annoying from the media and bandwagon fans not real
fans. Of course, they're going through a rough patch right now, like
all teams, but they need our support more than bashing. Come on,
Vancouver, we can do better than that. We thank Mount Pleasant Gal,
and she is not the only person who criticizes us and other people for bashing
the Canucks. But we can only talk about what we saw last night and
what we've seen recently, which is not all that positive. Fan, How
do you be positive today after a last night's game. I don't think anybody
is their first place and I got one hundred points. Does this say?
Is it just me? But does this team have anyone in the pipeline with
any bite or pushback? I see zero bite on their present lineup. Why
is Cold playing juleson City? At least he hits more. Swedes are not
the answer Dave from Lake Couch. That is old school. JT. Miller
has a lot of bite. Yes, as the door off says this door
off as by Josh wa say he broke his pinky finger. Don defending a
teammate. He's got bite. But that's that person. Is not the only
person who feels that way. Uh. This is from RPM and Duncan.
Is it just me, Donnie, I'm older than you. That's saying something.
RPM. So I think of Moose Vasco. When you say moose move
he says, great show. I mentioned Moose Fasco used to play for the
black Hawks during the Bobby Hole Stan Mikita era. His name is Moose Fascal.
His name was Elmer, Elmer Moose Fast Fasco. Now, if there
was ever a hockey name that was that's a hockey name, Elmer Moose Fascal.
Look it up, Ryan, and then while you're at it, check
out some old SETV go Is it just me? Rick being Ladner? September
fifteenth, The Lover Boy at the Barnside Festival. Cosmo and Ladner look at
Ryan, Hey, Ryan, you do not shake your head. Lover boy
boyl Boy. They were the best in the eighties, great songs right across
the board, loving every minute of it. Turn me loose, bring it
on, love it for the weekend, working for the weekend. The source
of Pride group from vac Houver was like the hottest thing on the planet.
And in the US they were big in the eighties for crying out loud,
Dick Clark's top thirty, Donty top thirty at thirty every Sunday they were in
there. Is it just me? But the conuction keeps the door off and
Heronic move Myers. He's eight or nine years old. They trade him in
the offseason while he's still worth something. Ken in Cloverdale. Course, Ken,
just a reminder that Myers is a free agent. Yea, not only
a free agent, don't and then Heronics an RFA. They got some work
to do with these guys. Uh, Is it just me? We should
be glad the Canucks are showing the warts now. The management knows they're soft
on spots in their first two lines. Don't be surprised if Besser has moved
at the draft. Kenned white Rock, Yeah, you hear these words a
lot soft and light when it comes to the Vancouver done. They had chances
at the trade deadline to bulk up. They had chances, Well they got
they didn't have the draft. I got Lenholm before the deadline. Well they
well, yeah they did op from Fleetwood. Now we've had a couple of
submissions like this, submissions that we haven't submissions like this that we haven't heard
before, isn't it? Is it just me? But shouldn't we also be
holding tacket to a higher standard at this time of year? Slow starts,
constant lineup changes, and a terrible power play. And Rick will tell you
himself, he's the coach that's in charge of the power play. Coach is
always going to take heat when times are tough, like they are now for
the Canucks, even though they're headed to the playoffs relatively speaking, tough when
you look at the rest of the season. Is it just me? But
there is there a correlation between the Canucks all for performance last night and the
fact they're in Vegas the night before Sin City? Paul from Surrey, I
don't think so, what, well you were in Vegas? How'd that go?
I'm just trying to think. They skate and flew yesterdays Tuesday, right
the day before they got to Vegas. The day before. Yeah, but
they weren't there. What I mean is they weren't They got there on the
Monday, but they skate and flew, so they were. They weren't there
until like later in the day on Monday. It's not like they had tons
of time in Vegas to be out partying like Nashville was supposed to do.
Was supposed to have the two days off and you too, before they canceled
them they went on their run. Do you honestly see any Canucks knowing Rick
talk, AT's your coach this late in the season, big game going out
and partying? Give me a break game? Yeah? Eh, Eric the
greenskeeper, is it just me? Like I said before, we need to
dress seven d against good teams. The game was absolutely over once Big Zed
and Eric proud Canadian Big Zed not Z was was thrown out. You hear
this a lot about you know the advantages of dressing eleven forwards. Yeah,
seven defensemen. If one of your defensemen leaves, you still got six defense.
But also you get to possibly double shift some of your more productive forwards
that way. I think the Abosford Cannucks did that last night. Well,
Tampa Bay John Cooper does that a lot and with a lot of success obviously.
Okay, break, We'll wrap up the show and the poll question next.
