11
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:53.600
It couldn't be better? Cracking season
is over. Stars over the crack

12
00:00:53.679 --> 00:01:00.600
in two one in Game seven,
Pete Duboor, It's an interesting character when

13
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.840
it comes to women, when it
comes to the National Hockey League period seven

14
00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:10.359
and oh career. In Game seventh, he bounces around, but he never

15
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.159
has a problem finding a job.
Five teams since two thousand and eight.

16
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.439
So the Stars go on to the
Western Conference Final, which starts Friday in

17
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:25.120
Vegas, taking on a Vegas team
that he coached his old team when the

18
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.760
Stars played Vegas in the Western Conference
Final in the Bubble in twenty twenty.

19
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.079
Craig Button is going to join us
later. I just want to ask him,

20
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:36.799
Wait, why is it that Pete
Dubor, you know, gets jobs

21
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.719
over and over, gets let go
and then never has a problem finding a

22
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.959
job. Maybe because he's seven and
old in game seventh, maybe that's part

23
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:51.799
of it. Former Vancouver Canuck prospect
Pete d Bor by the way, Yeah,

24
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:56.120
well that surprised you. He was
a player at one time. Yeah

25
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.840
yeah, back back in the day. He also coached at the nineteen ninety

26
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:05.159
Memorial Cup and Cowloots. So there, take that, m But I believe

27
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.280
he was traded. There was there
was a trade involving Paul pay attention to

28
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:14.240
me here, I am. I'm
going way back Paul lawas I remember Paul

29
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.360
Lallace, right, Conucks traded him
to Toronto for the rights to Pete Dubor

30
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.800
and he played three seasons in Milwaukee
when the Canucks had their farm team in

31
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.680
Milwaukee, the Admirals. Yeah yeah, and remember the Jack mckelhagen and Mike

32
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.080
Murphy were well took turns being the
head coaches down there. Remember February twenty

33
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:36.680
seventh, nineteen eighty nine, that
trade traded from the Leaves to the Canucks

34
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:40.800
for Paul Lallace. There you go, Pete, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

35
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.000
congratulations Pete. So what can we've
We've talked to about this before,

36
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.120
but what can the Connucks look ian
for? Nance is going to join us

37
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.240
from KGr down in Seattle in our
third segment, what do you think a

38
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.400
connuckstion learned from what the crack and
we're up to? Well, first,

39
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:59.240
we talked about this before a little
bit. First the crack and roll four

40
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.800
lines, there's no number one on
the list. Number one on the list.

41
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:07.000
They don't play guys twenty six,
twenty seven, twenty eight minutes like

42
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.719
the Canucks do. And then the
other guys don't get four lines, three

43
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.960
defensive pairs, speed, speed,
and the other tenacity. They play as

44
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.560
a team. The other thing is
Johnny. Their blue line is massive.

45
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.719
I saw the stat on Alexeiak last
night, number one of the NHL.

46
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.400
Although he had a bit of a
rough goal of he did, but number

47
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.439
one of the hit for hits in
the NHL Playoffs, Number two for block

48
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.439
shots, same size as Tyler Meyers. They're both six seven, two fifty

49
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.759
and Alexiak I know he's thirty.
But there's just a massive blue line.

50
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.199
Donny, We've talked about Seattle's blue
line, but there's so many things the

51
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.039
Canucks can learn from Seattle. Question
and I can't look. The Canucks do

52
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.960
have Tyler Myers, who's hyeah,
you know, has one year left his

53
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.560
contract. I wouldn't call them the
most popular Canuck Nope at this point.

54
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.680
So there is some size in the
blue line. Who knows what's going to

55
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.599
happen with him. But I always
go back to Rick talk and the last

56
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:05.159
time the Canucks played Vegas at Rogers
raiding the regular season, raving about Vegas's

57
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:12.400
you know, big, beefy,
tough, well skilled blue line, he

58
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.680
could tell he was he was envious. Nothing against Quinn Hughes or anybody else

59
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:19.279
on the Canucks blue line, but
you can tell Rick Hawk it really values

60
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:26.360
those types of defenseman and and Donnie, the Canucks quest forever to get bigger,

61
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.319
stronger, harder to play against.
How when is the last time it

62
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.319
was a tough Canucks team in this
city, you know, and the other

63
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.959
teams said, oh boy, we're
going to Vancouver, It's going to be

64
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.839
a tough night. I haven't said
that for a long time. Jason Bruff

65
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:45.639
is our friend from Sports That six
really a great tweet last night, because

66
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:51.079
did anybody have these four teams as
the final four? As the four teams

67
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.959
in the conference finals. This is
Jason from last night. We're giving him

68
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.879
credit. He never talks about our
show. Never. What's his show called?

69
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.160
Morning Ruff and Rough Rough. They
never say anything nice about us.

70
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.399
But why are we saying nice stuff
about them? Well, we're giving them

71
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:10.839
credit here because we're better than they
are. Yeah as people, Yeah,

72
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.079
life moves fast. Stars, Panthers, Hurricanes and Knights had not played a

73
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.439
single game in their current markets when
a Canadian team last one the Cup nineteen

74
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:25.399
ninety three. So Dallas at Vegas
that starts Friday, Florida Carolina starts the

75
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.959
day before Thursday. Is this a
positive for the for the NHL? No

76
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.240
Original six team? Original six?
And you know, none of none of

77
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:40.759
the teams New York really large hockey
mad markets, Nothing from New York,

78
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:46.720
nothing from LA. They always want
those Um, Colorado's a great hockey town.

79
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:48.720
You know, Detroit is all these, you know, Saint Louis,

80
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.800
We talked about Buffalo's great hockey market, Um, all these. Pittsburgh's a

81
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.920
great hockey market. None of those, Donny. But here's the thing.

82
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.680
The NHL can't sit there and say
we want these markets the final four.

83
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:02.839
Hey, these teams to can but
it's not. It doesn't work that.

84
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:08.199
It doesn't work that way. These
teams are left standing because they've worked their

85
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.319
asso off to get to the Final
four. And you got to give them

86
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.519
credit on Well, that's the way
I look at You're there, you're there,

87
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:17.720
The NHL is there, and you
want those You don't want the markets

88
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:23.399
to fail time and time again.
They're there, they're having success. Uh.

89
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.879
In the case of well, you're
building a final you're trying to build

90
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.360
a foundation there and this this certainly
helps us. In the case of Carolina

91
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.680
and in Vegas, you know they've
been to Stanley Cup finals before, but

92
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:40.240
it just seems that those markets have
well, Vegas is so young. It's

93
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.199
just such a strange situation. But
Carolina won the Stanley Cup back in the

94
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.680
two thousands. It was a blip
and now there's more of a foundation there.

95
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.519
This this will mean a whole lot
there, buddy, who did you

96
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.680
have anybody like I? I oft
to give myself credit. I picked Carolina

97
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.079
to be in the Stanley Cup Final. The unfortunate part is that I also

98
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.319
picked Calgary to Calgary a final.
They didn't make the plan. That's not

99
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:10.800
that that surprising Florida, anybody,
Vegas? Maybe Dallas, I don't.

100
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.959
I don't think so. It's surprising. Uh, and these teams certainly deserved

101
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.560
to be there. I would call
it a positive for the NHL because we

102
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:26.040
for Gary Bettman at the very least, he's trying to grow hockey North America

103
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:30.120
wide. This this definitely won't won't
hurt. No, I won't hurt.

104
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.439
And the ratings are not going to
be great and we're gonna wind about Oh

105
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.519
the TV ratings are out. Oh
no, Look at the numbers are low.

106
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.480
But if you go back to when
the Kings and the Rangers were in

107
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.480
the final, it's not like it
exploded and went up three hundred percent.

108
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.199
It is what it is. I
mean, there are some states in the

109
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.800
US that are just not hockey towns. But there are states in the US

110
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:54.279
where hockey is immensely popular, is
just not universally there. Well, maybe

111
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:58.920
those other states get there because of
years years that King's Rangers final. By

112
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.720
the way, one of the problem
with that final was that you knew who

113
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.920
was gonna win. Yeah, Like
the king Kings were powerful at the time,

114
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.000
and you know, York solid team
one quist in gold there was there

115
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.360
was a lot there, but not
like not like the Kings. It was

116
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.040
pretty obvious who was It is true, you know, because you know it

117
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:20.680
was second in average attendance this past
season. Go Carolina. Yeah, so

118
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.319
for people that dump Oka, I
have a problem with Florida, But for

119
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.240
people that dump Carolina, it's turned
out to be a pretty good hockey market.

120
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:31.279
It has. And there's one moment
for me with Carolina that sticks out.

121
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.639
This is goes back three or four
seasons when they made the playoffs for

122
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.600
the first time in a long time, and there was a YouTube video of

123
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.639
people in the stands crying. Yeah, and I like, they care that

124
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.200
much and the people have suffered for
a long long time with that franchise,

125
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.399
And it made me think differently.
You know, we tend to think,

126
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.279
well, only we care about hockey. When you go to these you go

127
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.080
to these other markets in the States, or are just ending any place in

128
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.039
the world really where where hockey is
fairly big. You realize it's not just

129
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:07.840
about about counter but that that video
stuck with me. People hugging and crying

130
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.000
and just how much they care.
It turned out to be pretty good.

131
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.360
Not number one sport there, but
it's turned out to be a pretty good

132
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.919
market. And I think when you
go back to the start, when when

133
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:24.840
they were located in Greensboro and this
temporary building and and just what are you

134
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.720
doing? Hartford seemed pretty good to
me, even though it was located the

135
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.679
arena was located in a mall.
Eventually made the move to Raleigh when the

136
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.799
Stanley Cup their parade, their Stanley
Cup parade was look look ridiculous. But

137
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.080
things are a lot different there now. It's grown and they've been in the

138
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.399
playoff. Rod Brendamore, I don't
care what anyone says. Is the best

139
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.960
coach in the National Hockey League for
me? And he just keeps looking at

140
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.440
They got three top six forwards out
and there's still Donny. They're in the

141
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.360
Eastern Final without those those three top
six forwards because they got one hell of

142
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.519
a coach and Carolina had an outdoor
game this past year too, Yeah,

143
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.720
when you were talking about and they
did a great job of the marching band.

144
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.679
Yeah, they did a very copy
things. It was. It was

145
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.759
pretty. Uh, it was creative
and well received. As for Florida,

146
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:15.200
it's hard to judge Florida. Look
I I and look hockey in Florida going

147
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.279
way back. Are you kidding me? But what have they had to cheer

148
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.159
for? Nothing? Ninety six and
the rat hole stretch before they turned it

149
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.519
around here? Oh ten, I
mean at least that and just you know,

150
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.360
the location of the building. But
bottom line, not a whole lot

151
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.000
of winning. Now now they're winning, They've got a I would say,

152
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.240
a superstar in their lineup and it's
been pretty The other thing about Florida is,

153
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.200
I think for a lot of people
in the Vancouver market, if you

154
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.320
had to pick one of the four
teams to pull for, or as I

155
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.159
often say, vote for, would
you not pick Florida because of one of

156
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:54.240
the guys in charge of the organization
right now, Roberto Laco a great tweet

157
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.919
by the other day, Dansky works
for He's an analyst. Analyst. There

158
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.320

165
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:41.480
You know her name Lisa, Lisa
or Jennifer. I don't know anyway.

166
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.840
Can I go? Don't play it

167
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:52.720
see again. Unbelievable. Let me
go, LACARAMACKI. Two year deal with

168
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.440
the Rebro. He can leave for
Vancouver anytime, Donnie. Four teams were

169
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:01.200
after him in the SHL. Can
this is the Sweetish Elite League, Swedish

170
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.639
Elite League. Canucks had a big
say and where he ended up. Very

171
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.440
early. They told Lacarramacki's agents in
both Sweden and North America they wanted him

172
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:15.000
one more year in Sweden. Canucks
GM Patrick Alvin is friends with Orebro coach

173
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:20.799
Joanne Hedberg, former Canucks Cooleague and
and the and the GM there Nicholas Ericson

174
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.000
anyways, Canucks draft pick and defenseman
Eli's Patterson plays there. Canucks picked the

175
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:30.120
best place for LACARRAMACKI to continue his
development. Ericson says Lacarramack He's got all

176
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.879
the tools, all the tools Doney
to be an elite player. They love

177
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.440
his goal scoring ability, So there
you go. I also talked to uh.

178
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.919
Lacarramackis a Swedish agent, McHale tell
Quest, former NHL player. He

179
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.080
said they very happy with Orebro again
in the Swedish Elite league. It was

180
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.960
I referred to the other day the
Swedest first of the same thing. It's

181
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.039
the same league, it's the top
league. I was wrong and that was

182
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.480
pointed out in the Delaney's Okay tire
in Langley inbox. He had the impressive

183
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.559
post season, not so much the
regular season where there were some health issues.

184
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.440
Uh in the uh what'd you call
the second division? Us? Your

185
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.879
guard what's your guardens rights? Your
gardens? Okay? Um? So there's

186
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.360
that. That leads to well one
other thing Archer's Sea loves before we get

187
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.759
to the poll question yeah, Archur
Sea loves Ryan. You got the safe

188
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.399
at the World Hockey Championships. I'll
tell you this kid is uh, he

189
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.759
is really impressive, Donnie. This
is the save that led Latvia to their

190
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.279
first ever win over the Czech Republic
at the World's UM I don't know,

191
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.559
like this kid's twenty two. Uh
he kissed me vibes of Demco at same

192
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.039
age and just like Groin is hurting
watching this. By the way, there's

193
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.480
no way you and I can do
that. There's no way anyone in the

194
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.799
media can do a ninety nine percent
of the sports media is out of shape

195
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.080
in the city. There's a way
of yeah, yeah, yeah, there's

196
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:58.240
no way you can't do that,
not even a road hockey. Very impressive

197
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.840
it is, and and that game
was in Latvia. In Latvia, this

198
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.519
kid is a good one. I
Canucks did really good with this guy in

199
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:07.559
his development is going through the roof. Okay, so with the news about

200
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.320
Lacaramacki, the news about Sea Lobs
is doing some special things at the World

201
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.320
Championships. Our bet ninety nine dot
net poll questioned, every game begins at

202
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.960
bet ninety nine dot debt. Oh
boy, does it ever? Our bet

203
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.039
ninety nine dot Net Pole question,
do you consider Jonathan LEACARAMACKI the Canucks best

204
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:31.720
prospect? Fifty uh four percent say
yes, forty seven percent say no.

205
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.279
You're getting this rounding up around first
teacher and the apoper ripped into me.

206
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.159
I got a round it out better. Hey, look, I just told

207
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.080
you about Sea Lobs. I've got
Sea Loves and Lacaramaki head to head,

208
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:48.519
tote to toe battle. I like
these two. I think they're tied in

209
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.320
terms of being the top prospects.
I like both of them. Well,

210
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.360
the other name, other other names
we can throw out there. Do you

211
00:14:54.440 --> 00:15:00.679
still consider Hooglender a rath bull and
prost at this point NHL game? So

212
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:03.639
yeah, yeah, but five games
this year, Donnie. You know,

213
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.879
he's a young kid in Abbsburg.
He might go back to Absburg next year.

214
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.480
Danilla Klemovich is another kid. I'm
going to be interested to see his

215
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.360
next steps next year. Two years
in Abbsburg as one of the youngest players

216
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.120
in the INN, he'll still be
playing jet should, he could be still

217
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.159
playing junior. So I want to
see this kid take the next step next.

218
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:28.039
Ar Deep Bains jet jet Wu and
I say jet Wou because well,

219
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.399
Ryan Johnson GM of the Abs raving
about him talking about Yeah, there's a

220
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.039
possibility he could take that. Next
step. Next step is the NHL.

221
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.799
Yeah, and they're going to get
a contract done with jet wou here soon.

222
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.240
Keito HORROSSI I think has to be
in there. Well he looked very

223
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:46.440
good. Yeah, like so calm
at the NHL, cool, calm demeanor.

224
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:50.519
Philip your Hanson. You haven't talked
about Donnie the kid from Sweden.

225
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.039
He's a right shot. D keep
an eye on him. Col m acward

226
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:58.240
Cole McCard um two rattu. You
haven't mentioned no, But for me it's

227
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.039
sea lobs. And look, Mackie, see you know, like with all

228
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.240
due respect, there's not a whole
lot there, no right no, And

229
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.720
that's why I think it bothered so
many people, adding me when they made

230
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:12.240
made the deal, not a lot
here, Philip, when they made the

231
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:18.200
deal for Philip Herna and got rid
of that second first first round choice.

232
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.360
The cupboards are bare because the previous
regime kept trading first round, second round

233
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:25.960
picks for three years. Out of
this regime did the same thing, right,

234
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.000
Donny the one trade that's it business, that's right. Look at this

that you know Vancouver fans, you'd
think they'd be pulling for Florida amongst the

269
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:12.640
final four NHL teams because of Luongo
Nick from VIC pointing out, well,

270
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:18.880
what about Dallas and Jim Nil?
I thought Dolly rooting for the eighty two

271
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:23.119
alum, and we mentioned Pete Dubor
being a former Canucks prospect. But people,

272
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:27.640
Jim Nail overtime hero against Chicago nineteen
eighty two, now in charge of

273
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:32.039
the Stars, and Jim Nail was
toughest Nails boy, he could drop the

274
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:33.920
gloves. And Jim Nail eighty two
team my favorite team of all time.

275
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.079
I don't care what anyone says.
Look at Ryan shaking his head. Ryan

276
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.799
the eighty two team. You you
had to be there in eighty two to

277
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.440
understand how the whole city was.
He wasn't born yet, I know that,

278
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.480
but he shouldn't laugh because I said
the eighty two team. That's wrong.

279
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.119
Are you you love the eighties?
Taylor loves the nineties? This is

280
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.400
what happens. Yeah, find out
what Thomas Drans is. I'll tell you

281
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:59.920
this. Thomas Drans from the Athletic. He used to work for the Flora,

282
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.559
right. Uh, Thomas Dratz joining
a stout from the athletic. How

283
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:08.519
are you, sir? I'm doing
well, guys. Wasn't Colin Campbell also

284
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:15.240
an overtime hero during the nineteen eighty
two run time? Yeah? He was

285
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.680
definitely. Yeah, he scored the
He scored the game in Game two or

286
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.839
three against the Kings the night after
the fire alarm went off and the eighty

287
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.480
two teams listen to that, Ryan, you see that, Thomas. But

288
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:30.799
I'm I know my history. I
know my history. Anyway. My point

289
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:37.279
is is that the nineteen eighty two
team, after after Colin Campbell's um involvement

290
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.839
in the twenty eleven Stanley Cup playoffs, I think they've announced their right to

291
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:45.720
be like regarded as, like,
well, the heroes of nineteen eighty two.

292
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.519
It's like, yeah, that that
kind of went out through the door.

293
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.279
Colan with the Big Budge, Jim, the old he's done a great

294
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.160
job. He has he has well, Okay, let's let's let's start there.

295
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.200
Then forget Florida for a second.
But I was gonna mention Colin Campbell

296
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:02.720
and the old Stan Mkita like bubble
help, Oh yes, help. You

297
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:07.319
refer to the Stars Game seven effort
against Seattle, a two one win on

298
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:14.440
Twitter as championship caliber stuff. How
come it was a close game and Game

299
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.319
seven's often are it was a nervy
game. It was a fast game.

300
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:19.640
Honestly, I thought it was entertaining, is all get out. I was

301
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:25.799
riveted watching the game last night.
And yet if you look at the balance

302
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:30.599
of scoring chances and the quality that
Dallas was generating, the stress that they

303
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:34.920
were putting on Grubauer versus what they
were surrendering. I mean, it was

304
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.960
a clean night in front of Jakeer, clean enough to eat your supper off

305
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.119
like. It was a really stellar
defensive effort in which Dallas was also generating

306
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:49.880
almost at will against a Kracking team
that's been able to tilt the ice really

307
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:53.160
effectively all season long. You know, the Kracking still played well, like,

308
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:57.640
they still managed to generate their down
low activity, their speeds still played

309
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:03.039
through the neutral zone. It was
by no means a blowout game, Like

310
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.240
it was a really strong effort from
the Kraken, it just kind of didn't

311
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:11.000
matter because Dallas was completely in control
all game long, and that's sort of

312
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.480
what you need to do. They
pitched a perfect game with their season on

313
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.720
the line, and I think that's, you know, the sort of thing

314
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.519
that always gets my attention at this
time of year. Boats very well for

315
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.480
Dallas in a really tough test against
a Golden Knight's team that you'll remember they

316
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:32.079
beat in the Western Conference Final back
in the twenty twenty bubble. Thomas,

317
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.960
take us you worked in Florida for
the Panthers. Take us into what kind

318
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.960
of hockey city that is? And
I mean, Donna and I talked about,

319
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:41.200
you know, does anyone care there, Like, I mean, just

320
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:48.240
give us a little insight into hockey
in Florida. It's tough down there,

321
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:51.799
Like there's no question it's tough,
you know. I remember, for example,

322
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.160
we were going to name Alexander Barkov
captain on a Monday, and that

323
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.559
Sunday I was down in South Beach
and hanging out with some friends and getting

324
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.720
ready on my way back. You
know, approving some of the creative and

325
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.599
on and on and looking forward to
hosting this big media day. You know,

326
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:12.119
it's like, well before the heat
season, you know, there's no

327
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:18.160
there was no Dolphins, like,
there was no nothing that mattered. And

328
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:19.279
I was like, Okay, we're
gonna have a good turnout. This is

329
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:25.079
gonna be great. And I'm driving
back and I hear on seven ninety the

330
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:30.200
tickets South Florida sports talk radio down
in Miami. You know, Dwayne Wade

331
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:33.799
plans to announce that he's going to
play one last season, right, And

332
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.279
I'm just like, oh, great, great, Like that's it. You

333
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:41.240
know, I'm not getting inches in
the newspaper. I'm not having any television

334
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.839
stations turn out like this is.
So you know, you're very much back

335
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:52.039
seat in a lot of ways to
some of the other sports brands down there.

336
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.680
And the list isn't necessarily what Canadians
might expect. It's like number one

337
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.000
is the Dolphins with a bullet The
Dolphins are very much like the Canucks are

338
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:04.079
locally where like you know, you
turn on sports talk radio and it's like

339
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:08.559
they'll they'll do two hours on like
the safety depth of the Miami Dolphins,

340
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:11.680
right, and then and then number
two is the Heat, and it's the

341
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:18.359
Heat are obviously a championship team,
m hugely successful. Generational fans are beginning

342
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:23.200
to form in South Florida around the
Heat, despite how transient that community is.

343
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:29.119
And it's like then you have like
you have you have m football,

344
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.759
right and like the NC double A
football, and then you sort of have

345
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.519
like reps. You know, like
the high school football is a really big

346
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:41.720
deal down there. Some of the
high school basketball is a pretty big deal

347
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:48.000
down there, and you know,
sort of then you get to kind of

348
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:51.200
like the Marlins and then you get
to the Panthers, and so you know,

349
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:56.000
it's it's a big lift down there, especially because the arena happens to

350
00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:00.480
be in Sunrise, which is on
the you know, borderline lands of the

351
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:04.720
Everglades. Like literally you can see
swamps from the office windows at the at

352
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:08.559
what we used to be called the
BBNT Center but is now the FLA Live

353
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:15.240
Arena, and so you know,
it is a challenge. But but all

354
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.759
of that said, like in the
Panther's backyard up in Coral Springs and stuff,

355
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.559
like, there are real hardcore fans. There is you know, a

356
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.839
season ticket base that is like relatively
vibrant, family based a lot of young

357
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:32.599
people play hockey. You're getting people
like Shane Gostas, bear like Andrew Peake

358
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:37.119
who are Florida Junior Panthers that have
come through grown up around that team.

359
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.599
You know, I think you're even
beginning in that small pocket in the interior

360
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:48.519
to have some sort of generational support. But it's really hard to make inroads

361
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:53.000
in Fort Lauderdale and certainly in Miami, given how far the arena is away.

362
00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:56.799
That's really sort of been one of
the big challenges. I think if

363
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.640
the arena was downtown and the team
was successful, because that's the other thing.

364
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:03.440
When I was down there, we
were at the tail end of a

365
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.759
run in which, you know,
the team had only hadn't won a playoff

366
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.200
round since nineteen ninety six. You
know, it had been twenty plus years

367
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:15.759
since the team had won a playoff
round when I was working there. You

368
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.720
know, the success that they've had
helps a lot, But I do think

369
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:23.039
the arenal location remains like a fundamental
existential challenge for the for the franchise,

370
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:26.480
and one that you know, I
think is going to need to be addressed

371
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:33.000
significantly if the club's going to be
viable and put in roads like put put

372
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.240
sort of the sort of stamp required
to have a like real longevity as a

373
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:42.079
sports franchise in a major metro area, just as opposed to the suburb where

374
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:47.839
actually the team index is pretty well, Thomas, we're talking prospects today for

375
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:52.359
the Canucks because Lacaramacki signed in the
SHL. But the Hockey News had the

376
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:55.720
Canucks rank twenty eight out of thirty
two teams for prospects. They got a

377
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:57.200
long way to go, they got
a long way whole surprise, right,

378
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:02.319
Yeah, how do they change?
Well, I mean then you trade a

379
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:06.839
first and a second. You know, well in a draft that a lot

380
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:11.279
of veteran talent evaluators are saying is
the strongest since twenty fifteen, at least

381
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:15.039
in the first round. Um,
you know that's tough, Like, that's

382
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.119
tough. I mean you you watched
last night, right, so last night

383
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:23.640
the Stars are like the template team. And Tom Gallardi came on your program

384
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:29.319
what about a month ago, six
weeks ago and talked about his distaste for

385
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:34.079
rebuilding. And when Tom Gallardi expresses
distaste for rebuilding, I think it's fair

386
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:38.480
to take it seriously because the Dallas
Stars are like the template for the successful

387
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:45.279
retool now right. I mean they've
made misguided contract commitments to older players,

388
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:51.000
guys like Jordy Ben and Tyler Sagan, and yet they've managed to continue to

389
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:56.279
have success and keep coming despite you
know the fact that they haven't done a

390
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.680
tear it down at any point and
have made some unwise commitment to guys who

391
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.680
are a little too old and have
still found a way to put it all

392
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.319
together. Well what did it take
to do that? Right? Number One,

393
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.960
they had the twenty seventeen draft,
or yeah, the twenty seventeen draft

394
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:17.680
where they win the draft lottery from
eleventh and snag Miro Heyskin in third overall.

395
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:21.880
So a ton of lottery luck,
improbable lottery luck at that, and

396
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:23.240
the sort of lottery luck by the
way, because you can't move up to

397
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:29.440
third anymore that no longer even exists. But they were able to take advantage

398
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:30.680
of that. But it wasn't just
that. They then trade up into the

399
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:34.400
first round and take Jake Ottener in
the twenties. So they got a star

400
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:40.440
goaltender, without question, the best
goalie remaining in the Stanley Cup playoffs,

401
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:44.599
guy who started sixty two games,
the only workhorse still standing and he was

402
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:48.279
great last night. Again, they
get him in the twenties, and then

403
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:51.640
they get a superstar level player,
although he's been a little bit snake bit

404
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.200
through the playoffs in Jason Robertson,
you know, in the second round,

405
00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:02.039
like several picks after where the Canucks
take cole In. That's essential, like

406
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:08.960
you need if you're going to retool
successfully to hit on these types of players,

407
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:14.400
like well outside the top ten,
White Johnston scores the game winner,

408
00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:17.839
right, that guy was picked in
the twenties, right, Like, and

409
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:21.440
he's already in the league. They've
got Logan stankovin coming. He's going to

410
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:26.759
join the team next year after he
you know, competes credibly for the Memorial

411
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.319
Cup with the Cameloos Blazers in a
couple of weeks. And he's a really

412
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:36.000
good player. Like, he's a
really good player. They've drafted extraordinarily well,

413
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:42.359
and that's been key, Like their
ability to get Robertson, Ottener,

414
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:49.119
hay Skin and Johnston level contributors with
more to come into the lineup has allowed

415
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:55.240
them to burn the candle at both
ends to defy the natural gravity of the

416
00:29:55.400 --> 00:30:02.400
NHL system and continue to actually get
better even as they're they're sort of old

417
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:06.440
core players, you know, get
older, become bit contributors, and become

418
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:11.720
increasingly inefficient in terms of the caps
spend allocated to them. It's a really

419
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.720
neat trick that Jim nil has picked
has pulled off here. He deserves a

420
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:19.440
ton of credit. But you have
to think about the strategy of it all,

421
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:23.519
right, which is if you want
to try and replicate the Stars,

422
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:26.480
first of all, you're going to
be relying on an awful lot of luck.

423
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:30.160
You're going to be relying on nailing, you know, draft picks and

424
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:34.119
a few things that are probably somewhat
outside your control. But also you're going

425
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:37.720
to need the draft capital to do
it. There's no way to be the

426
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:44.240
stars if you're trading draft picks.
Those draft picks need to be star players

427
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:48.000
for you three or four years down
the line. If you're going to pull

428
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:52.680
off what the Canucks consistently say and
clearly with their actions are intent on pulling

429
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:57.160
off, like by their own standard, you know, the model of what

430
00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:00.559
they're trying to do here allae stars. You can't do better than that.

431
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:07.119
The model of what they're trying to
do here requires them to approach things differently

432
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:10.119
than they have over the course of
the past year, which is, you

433
00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:12.799
know, certainly something that I find
a little bit frustrating, but more than

434
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:18.000
that, just I think it should
clarify the challenge ahead for Patrick Alvin and

435
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.319
Jim Rutherford. They need to nail
this eleventh overall pick at the very least,

436
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:26.759
especially given that they've decided not to
take three kicks that they can in

437
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.160
the first forty five picks at the
twenty fifteen n Challengry draft. YEP,

438
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.440
totally agree on that. Thomas.
Thanks so much for this, sir.

439
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:38.880
We'll talk to you next week anytime, gentleman. Be well, you bet

440
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:45.240
Thomas transformer Florida Pathers employee now working
for the Athletic. In the first segment,

441
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:51.000
you ripped into me about the heronic
trade, and then you asked Thomas

442
00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:56.039
a question basically saying that you endorsed
that trade. Yeah, I didn't say

443
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.119
you endorsed the trade in the first
segment. Didn't with Thomas. I asked

444
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:06.519
him they're twenty eight under thirty two
teams and prospects on how are you going

445
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:09.200
to move up to twenty and fifteen
and ten and five and two by not

446
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:14.160
making a trade like that. Now
yeah, okay, all right, we're

447
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:17.680
getting the crazy hand signals from Ryan
Henderson. We have to move on.

448
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:22.119
Ian Fernasa's standing by from KGr Sports
Radio in Seattle. The crack and their

449
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.799
impressive second season is over. We'll
talk about that next. Donny Adli,

00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:07.799
One of the questions you asked Thomas
Drans was like six minutes long.

457
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.480
You have to work on that,
okay. Honestly, his answers are forty

458
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:15.359
minutes long. Delanney is okay.
Arn Langley inbox. I'm getting a lot

459
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:20.440
of pushback on my reference to the
bubble helmet that Colin Campbell used to wearever

460
00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:22.960
that hell of anchor Vick Canucks.
So we'll maybe deal with that later today

461
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:29.359
or tomorrow. There's a promo for
you bubble helmets later on Donnie and DOLLI,

462
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.480
but right now, brought to you
by the Bayside Ocean Front Resort.

463
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:38.480
It's Ian Furness from KGr Sports Radio
as the cracking of Seattle lose Game seven

464
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:45.119
two one down in Dallas. You're
looking tanned, Ian, what's going on?

465
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:49.960
It's warm out, Donnie Rick,
It's it's warm I actually I did.

466
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:53.440
I did a radio show Friday at
Seahawks Mini Camp and and we do

467
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:58.799
it on a cement with a canopy
kind of over and it's just raped.

468
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:00.160
I looked at I looked at myself. Later, I was doing a stand

469
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.359
up for TV. Donny, you
can appreciate this, and I said,

470
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:06.039
I wonder if I need todet.
Oh my, I was like red.

471
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:09.440
I was like, like like that
color. Yeah it was. It was

472
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:13.159
a little sketchy, but yeah,
how are you guys? Very good?

473
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:15.360
And I didn't say you look bad. You look great. Thank you.

474
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:22.599
Well, let's not get carried away. Your opinion of the Kraken's performance in

475
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:27.960
game seventy. Well, I think
they're just out of gas um. And

476
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:30.079
you know, the good thing about
game sevens, a seven game series is

477
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:34.719
opposed to like the NBA has one
of those five game series and baseball the

478
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:37.119
same thing. I think in a
seven game series, most of the time,

479
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:39.960
the best team wins. I think
Dallas was a better hockey team top

480
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:45.840
to bottom and had a better high
end talent along the way. But you

481
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:49.079
know, they gave it a go
U. I mean, it's what you

482
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:52.400
expect game sevens if you're I know, you know, everyone likes to put

483
00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:53.719
a little wager on here or there. Now it looks like the under is

484
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:57.920
always the play in a game seven
these days. And you know, they

485
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:00.320
got held off the score sheet and
really didn't happen. The quality chances they

486
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:05.639
had either went wide early. They
just they couldn't get their game going.

487
00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:07.599
They couldn't get their four check going. And that was kind of a case

488
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:12.719
in all the all four losses for
them in the series. They weren't able

489
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.360
to play the game that they want
to play, and Dallas was and and

490
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:19.599
you know, Grubauer kept a minute, he was sensational. And again you

491
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:22.199
lose by one in a game seven
and the second year it's not too bad.

492
00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:25.280
I referred to what the Krack and
have been up to the last few

493
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:30.719
weeks as a run, and somebody
gave me some pushback on that. Look,

494
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.039
we're in Vancouver, you know,
two rounds that that's a playoff run.

495
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:39.440
To me, what do you think
the Kraken's playoff run did for hockey

496
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:45.199
in Seattle, especially when it comes
to the fringe fan. That was the

497
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:47.639
most important thing. I mean,
I kind of was thinking all along,

498
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:52.199
and we talked about this on the
radio, on TV and different you know,

499
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:55.079
different mediums that we had my opinion, one guy's opinion, but I

500
00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:59.360
think it was shared by many of
the organization. You get to five or

501
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:01.079
six games that first round, get
a little bit of excitement, get a

502
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:04.360
couple of wins, get the place, you know, get the city kind

503
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:06.960
of feeling good about the team,
and get that fringe fan, like you

504
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:09.880
mentioned, Donnie on board. And
they took that to fourteen games. I

505
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:15.000
mean, so I understand the bitterness
in Vancouver about people pushing back on the

506
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:19.039
run. Fourteen games over the last
month, it is pretty darn good for

507
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:21.440
a second year team, and we'll
take that all day. That was the

508
00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:23.039
most important thing. Though, you
know, there're seventeen thousand people in the

509
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:28.840
building every night. The TV ratings
were pretty they were just kind of even

510
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:30.599
all year, you know, they
didn't vary, and you can just say,

511
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:31.800
Okay, there's your there's your fan
base, right, that's that's who

512
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:35.079
it is. And same with the
radio ratings. And then all of a

513
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:38.239
sudden the playoffs. By about the
third game in the Colorado Series, third

514
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:42.559
or fourth game in the Colorado Series, massive spike in the TV ratings,

515
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:45.199
massive spike for the radio. We
can see streaming numbers and all those things

516
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:51.199
they can judge that by. And
you walk around town anywhere in the suburbs,

517
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:52.880
and you saw more cracking gear than
anything. And it was about a

518
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:57.039
three to one margin compared to say
Seahawks, Mariners or anything else. So

519
00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:01.079
it was they captured this city's attention
the way they play hard. No real

520
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:05.639
superstars, sorry your buddy Blake across
the street. Uh, it just this

521
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:09.880
is a team that just got going, and it was the most important thing.

522
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:13.320
I think we've listen, we go
back to last year, Donnie,

523
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:15.039
how many times did you and I
come on here. I would just say,

524
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:16.760
this team's unwatchable and it was.
Yeah, it just was. And

525
00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:22.039
for a new team to be unwatchable
and the free we don't expect Vegas but

526
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:24.719
be a team that captures outside of
the hockey fans attention. They couldn't do

527
00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:28.880
that. They flipped the switch this
year and uh and have really kind of

528
00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:34.320
taken over this city. Is awesome
in long playoff for it runs always reveal

529
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:37.960
things, and one thing that it
revealed was your goaltending Philip Grubauer, who's

530
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:40.960
been criticized since you know, it
wasn't great last year. You talked about

531
00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:45.000
that on our show. But now
you've got Martin Jones the UFA. Grubauer

532
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:47.880
looks like the old Grubauer. What's
going to happen there between the pipes?

533
00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:52.679
Well, Jones is gone. Chris
Drieger's under contract. He was out all

534
00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:53.880
year with an ACL injury. Remember
he tour that last year in the World

535
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:57.159
Championships. He was playing at the
end of season. He's still done it.

536
00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:00.400
He's still in Coachella Valley in the
American Hockey League. So they've got

537
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:02.679
They've got Drigger. They signed two
young guys as well. Uh, well,

538
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:06.400
one guy's a little older European goalie
and the other guys draftees. So

539
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:08.199
I mean they've got goaltending depth.
Jones was here as a stop gap for

540
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:13.400
for Drigger Grubauer. You know,
I think the only completely ever have about

541
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.159
him and probably I mean, frankly
every goaltender in hockey these days. It

542
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:20.760
feels like is consistency, right,
I mean it, And I'll take him

543
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.000
over what Edmonton's got all day.
I'll take him over what Toronto's got going

544
00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:25.760
on. And you know, I
mean even you know, Vancouver, you

545
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:29.800
guys have an elite goaltender and and
you know, wanted to get you not

546
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:32.559
much right, so like like you
need you need, And I only bring

547
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:36.920
that up in this sense. Look
at the playoffs. If that're jmco was

548
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:38.239
playing right now, he'd be the
best goaltender period, you know, unless

549
00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:42.199
let's gonna go with Bob down in
Florida. But I mean it's it's it

550
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:44.719
was a weird I think it's been
a weird playoff for goaltending, don't you

551
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.119
guys. It's just strange we keep
looking at I mean, Andrew got pulled

552
00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:52.800
twice in this series and Grubauer came
out once for load management when the game

553
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:57.320
was decided after two periods. But
but Andrew got yanked twice. Uh,

554
00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:59.719
and he was okay last night.
He was good last night, but you

555
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:01.079
know he he I wouldn't say he
had his best game. He pitched to

556
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:04.960
shut out until the final seventeen seconds, but that was more the guys in

557
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:07.840
front of him. And yeah,
I heard a lot of h Seattle doesn't

558
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:10.599
have any superstars. Ah, you
know, they're an average team. They're

559
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:15.119
not gonna make the playoffs next year. I'm not in that boat. Do

560
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.000
you think the future looks bright in
Seattle? They got a ton of draft

561
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:21.679
picks coming. Yeah, you know
they've got some Okay, the offseason questions

562
00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:23.360
or what do you do on defense? They've got two of the top four

563
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:29.559
are restricted free agents in Borgan and
Done, So those are two big you

564
00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:30.719
know, I think you try to
bring both those guys back. Done may

565
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:35.760
have it may have cost himself a
few sheckles over the playoffs. He wasn't

566
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:37.920
great. You know, he put
up some points in the Dallas series,

567
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:42.159
but I mean Borgan and Alexeiak and
alexiax you know one little missy last night

568
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:45.239
aside, he was the best defenseman
was Alexeiyak and he and Borgan are a

569
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:46.679
great pair. Larson and Done are
really good. They played together, I

570
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:50.440
mean they played all these all three
pairs played together for the most part all

571
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:54.079
season. Carson SUSY's unrestricted. I
assume they bring out Ryker Evans up and

572
00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:58.519
let Susie Susie walk and then up
front, guys aren't pretty good shape.

573
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:00.360
I mean, as far as UFAs
and our phase are concerned. The only

574
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:05.079
guys they have that you would consider
a top six guys Morgan geeky and he's

575
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:07.840
kind of more of a fourth flyer
with guys are healthy, and Ryan Donado

576
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:10.000
is the same way. So they'll
probably bring Shane right up. I think

577
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:14.400
they want to move Weinberg and you
can put Shane right in that second second

578
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:17.119
center position. Tyke Cartshay was a
revelation in the playoffs as a rookie.

579
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:21.800
I mean, he was phenomenal.
He's got a spot on the roster next

580
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:23.639
season, and Mattie Beniers is only
going to get better. They didn't have

581
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:28.280
Barakowski in the playoffs. I mean, think about that, and you know,

582
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:30.079
we saw what happened when McCann went
out. It was a struggle with

583
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:32.599
him without him offensively, but you
know, he had a hell of a

584
00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:35.960
year, So yeah, they don't. I don't think they have superstars,

585
00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:37.880
guys, they don't have superstars in
the true but they've got a bunch of

586
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:43.320
really good players and they're very deep. Yeah, great point about Biakowsky.

587
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:46.079
Hey, and thanks for doing this. Next time you're on, I'm sure

588
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:50.840
you'll look can and fit as well. We can talk some Seahawks, Mariners,

589
00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:53.440
whatever the case may be. But
thanks for doing this on short notice.

590
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:58.280
Well fellas any time until Dran's not
to cut into my time next time.

591
00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:02.039
Can the guy be more long winded
or what? Holy smokes? Twenty

592
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:07.280
minute answers from that guy unbelievable.
I heard some long questions as well,

593
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:12.199

597
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:30.400

best forwards. And Donnie Mattie Beniers will

626
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:37.840
there right what I can hear the
Beatles music? Oh yeah, I was

627
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:42.400
just fading out a little too slowly. Um, let's drink you to Saratoga

628
00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:45.840
by the way. Absolutely, Let's
jump into Judge Gate now. Yesterday in

629
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:52.079
Toronto, some some of the well
actually spearheaded by Buck Martinez and Dan Shulman

630
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:55.760
on the on the Sports that broadcast
for the Blue Jays, they were winding

631
00:43:55.760 --> 00:44:00.880
out of Toronto. They were a
little perplexed as to what was happening with

632
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:04.840
Aaron Judge, and as they were
bringing up this item, he proceeded to

633
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:07.920
smash a home run. Let's play
the clip. This is how it went

634
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:10.159
down yesterday to run all right,
Bucks, So you and I looked at

635
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:15.639
each other at the same moment,
right when we saw this three pitches ago.

636
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:20.199
He's looking to what is that?
Where's he looking? Where's he looking?

637
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:22.519
And he did it more than once. Yeah, it's really really unusual.

638
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:28.000
But you and I both looked at
each other where he saw that?

639
00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:34.320
Did you see what I saw?
And you don't want to go, you

640
00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:37.159
know, throwing allegations around without no
one, But now, I mean you

641
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:42.840
know what he Yeah, I have
had guys looked back when I was catching

642
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:45.639
and you obviously could see it,
and he he couldn't see the catcher with

643
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:52.360
the way he was looking right there. I just did it again. He

644
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:58.719
pummeled up. He hit it a
country mile for his second home run of

645
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:02.599
the night. So Judge asked about
it post game. Now, before this

646
00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:06.559
happened. By the way, Aaron
Boone was thrown out of the game for

647
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.000
arguing with the ump even though the
Yankees were up big at the time.

648
00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:12.760
They were up six nothing at the
time of the home run, so Aaron

649
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:15.599
Boone thrown out of the game.
So asked about it post game, Judge

650
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:21.079
said, the Yankees dugout was chirping, and with the score six nothing,

651
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:24.039
he had been encouraging his teammates to
be quiet. Said that's why he was

652
00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:27.760
looking at the dugout. He was
glancing over, like, guys, come

653
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:31.000
on stopping enough, you know,
yapping about the umps or whatever you're yapping

654
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:34.400
about. We're up decently in this
game. And by the way, the

655
00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:37.599
Yankees have had a tough start to
the season, so they need wins when

656
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:42.039
they can get them. Now,
Dan Shuman's a friend of the show,

657
00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:45.599
very good broadcaster. I love when
he says, though, we're not to

658
00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:50.960
throw at allegations, but let's continue
to show Aaron Judge looking over the dugout

659
00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:58.239
and bringing this up. Baseball is
so bizarre because signs stealing is very public

660
00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:02.280
in that it happened, and within
baseball, the only thing that's over the

661
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:07.000
line is when you have the Astros
banging on a trash can or the Red

662
00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:09.880
Sox using an Apple watch, and
they're you know, doing things like that.

663
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:13.719
But if you have a guy in
the outfield with binoculars, it seems

664
00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:19.440
to be okay. It's like it's
like it's like right of passage exactly.

665
00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:22.480
It depends on how you do it. Look at. I say this about

666
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:28.239
guys using steroids, and yet people
still keep getting popped for an Endows tattoos.

667
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:31.119
Junior not long ago, he got
suspended for a banned substance. Maybe

668
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:36.039
not steroids, but band substance.
I still I do find it hard to

669
00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:39.000
believe though, that after everything that
went down with the Astros, a team

670
00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:45.480
would be stupid enough to have some
kind of scheme going on where Judge should

671
00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:47.480
be looking over at the dugout to
get some kind of signals, some kind

672
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:52.000
of signs. Well, especially with
the score six nothing exactly. And while

673
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:54.760
you mentioned tough start to the season, I guess every game you might you

674
00:46:54.920 --> 00:47:01.039
might consider important. But the way
he was looking wasn't a look that you'd

675
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:07.920
give to a dugout that was on
you. It looks suspicious. It didn't

676
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:10.599
give them that it looked like he
was trying to get info. Like you

677
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:15.800
can see it there when he's looking
over it's it's like he's it's like he's

678
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:23.440
trying to to get some kind of
But then ki is that why right now?

679
00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:28.039
I really hope because again this goes
just has something to do with Aaron

680
00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:30.719
Judge being a pretty good ball player. But this goes back to the Astros

681
00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:32.360
as well, Doney, Like,
that's one of the things people knocked the

682
00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:37.119
Astros for. You didn't need to
do it. He had a team loaded

683
00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.199
with talent. Did they really need
to have trash cans being banged on?

684
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:44.880
There? You go, right,
But the same thing regular with this.

685
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:47.480
Judge is an amazing baseball player.
Look, he just got a massive contract

686
00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:52.320
because of his amazing season last year
in the Bronx. He's a very good

687
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:54.800
baseball player. He doesn't need to
do this. So I'm I'm gonna take

688
00:47:54.880 --> 00:47:59.599
him at his word, but I'm
gonna let you know, people's situation is

689
00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:01.360
strange. Well, and people are
going to roll back and his other at

690
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:06.480
bats right in other markets at home, Well, yeah, is he doing

691
00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:08.360
this? Well? Is he doing
this? It would it would be other

692
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:12.000
members of the team as well.
That is well, that is well,

693
00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:15.239
because then you'd have then you have
some suspicions. I could tell you one

694
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:17.760
thing, Rob Manford and the and
everybody in MLB, this would probably be

695
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:22.800
the first file on his desk today
for them to look into this, because

696
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:24.840
they would want to get ahead of
this and not have another situation. And

697
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:29.400
let's be honest, you might want
to look at other teams as well.

698
00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:31.480
This is a bigger deal because it's
the ant Yes, oh, absolutely,

699
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:37.000
obviously, for sure. I mean
right now, the Oakland Athletics, they

700
00:48:37.159 --> 00:48:40.639
might go down as the worst baseball
team of all times. Statistically they are

701
00:48:40.679 --> 00:48:44.400
awful. They've get they're on the
move, they've get to win ten games.

702
00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:45.599
But if they were doing it,
would people notice as much? No,

703
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:49.800
not nearly as much as with Aaron
Judge. But I do agree with

704
00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:52.719
you, Donnie. There was a
bit of really this is coming out of

705
00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:57.599
Toronto. They're complaining about it like
some kind of science stealing, some kind

706
00:48:57.639 --> 00:49:00.679
of something going on. Really,
but I mean it's it is interesting and

707
00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:04.559
like I say, it caught up
the eye of everyone in the baseball world

708
00:49:04.719 --> 00:49:07.119
and the sports world. Last night, well for Buck Martinez to say he

709
00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:09.679
has never seen it before, and
he's been a he's been around baseball for

710
00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:14.800
a very very very long time,
so that is an interest to comment for

711
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:17.719
sure. Um, and I got
my buddy who's a Yankees fan, texting,

712
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:21.519
Man, he's gonna be all upset
and angry about this coming up next,

713
00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:24.480
TSNs director of Scouting Craig Button joins, you, guys, latest,

Canucks might be Yes, Connor Badart has

Ye, Craig Button, Thanks for

730
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:39.159
doing this, sir, how are
you. I'm really good. I'm doing

731
00:50:39.239 --> 00:50:44.840
really well. I mean halfway through
May. I just can't believe that when

732
00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:47.639
this part of the year for me
April first and I just go, okay,

733
00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:51.239
three months, we'll hit July first, and on July second, I'll

734
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:54.679
come up for air. I'm halfway
there. It's just amazing how quickly it

735
00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:59.480
unrolls. Yeah, the finish line
is right in front of you, Craig.

736
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:04.760
I'll be before we get into into
Craigslist. The vote for the Ted

737
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:09.360
the Tempee Entertainment District is being held
today, or at least the results will

738
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:15.199
be. I think it'll be released
later a time. If it goes against

739
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:17.800
the Coyotes and against that arena.
What do you think happens to that franchise?

740
00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:22.000
Greg? Yeah, you know what, Donnie, it's a great question,

741
00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:25.239
you know, and the owner,
you know, who's got a casino

742
00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:31.360
license and you know, trying to
build the arena around that casino and to

743
00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:37.239
build uh, you know, really
an entertainment district. With the Coyotes being

744
00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:39.079
a big supporter, I don't know
where they go from here. I don't

745
00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:43.199
know where he goes from here.
I mean, obviously he has a plan,

746
00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:49.159
you know, he feels strongly about
putting an arena and entertainment districting there.

747
00:51:49.519 --> 00:51:53.199
I was told on the weekend that
the city of Phoenix is the one

748
00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:57.559
that are really trying to gum everything
out because they know with a new arena,

749
00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:01.320
with an entertainment district and you know, and and and everything that goes

750
00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:07.239
with the casino that they're worried about
losing revenue from ox that might not go

751
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:10.119
to their arena. So you know, we see that in municipalities and whatnot,

752
00:52:10.320 --> 00:52:13.880
and you know, but but at
the same time, you know,

753
00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:16.800
I've all still you know, been
told and I'm not an insider, I'm

754
00:52:16.840 --> 00:52:22.119
not one. It's it's people that
I trust that it feels like it will.

755
00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:27.840
So you know that there's just not
enough real uh you know, serious

756
00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:32.480
objections that would prevent it from going
forward. It's just selfish interests that are

757
00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:37.000
right now, uh you know,
at the forefront, and they should pass.

758
00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:38.880
And it looks like the hopefully there's
a new arena. But if they're

759
00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:42.039
not, I don't know where they
go from here, GANI I mean,

760
00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:45.800
we've seen the fits, the starts, the stops, the spurts for two

761
00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:52.000
decades, and you know, I
would have to imagine that the NHL would

762
00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:55.119
have to look seriously at what the
next steps would be for the franchise.

763
00:52:55.719 --> 00:53:00.920
All right, Craigslist, it's out. In last week week we talked about

764
00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:07.159
Swedish right handed defenseman Axel Sandeen Pellica
as a player the Canucks might grab at

765
00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:10.639
number eleven. However, he's moved
up to number five on your list.

766
00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:15.679
How come, Well, it doesn't
mean he won't be there at eleven.

767
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:21.639
I mean, you know things,
I'm not trying to I'm not trying to

768
00:53:21.719 --> 00:53:24.320
predict the draft here. I'm trying
to assess who I think the best players

769
00:53:24.360 --> 00:53:29.280
will be once they have the opportunity
to play in the NHL three to five

770
00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:31.320
years when physical maturity takes it.
But you know, I was really lucky

771
00:53:31.440 --> 00:53:37.320
doing You go, try to find
a highlight of him going into end.

772
00:53:37.559 --> 00:53:43.039
Try to find a highlight of him
having a al mckinnis booming slopshot or you

773
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:45.719
know, playing the game with an
edge like Chris Pronger. He wasn't that

774
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:50.360
type of player. But what Sergey
zubof did is he beat you up with

775
00:53:50.440 --> 00:53:53.159
his brain. I mean there wasn't
a play in any area of the game

776
00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:58.320
and any zone against any player that
he couldn't make. And I'm watching Axel

777
00:53:58.400 --> 00:54:04.199
Sandeine Pellicer for the last eight months. His progression has been significant and watching

778
00:54:04.239 --> 00:54:07.199
him more and more and more,
I'm not I don't like to just put

779
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:10.159
out a name like Sergey zoobop is
a type. I'm not saying he is

780
00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:15.519
Sergey Zuba, but that type of
player who controls the game in every single

781
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:19.639
regard. So when I see that
type of defenseman to control of the game,

782
00:54:20.360 --> 00:54:24.280
that's that's why I have him in
my top five. I believe that

783
00:54:24.440 --> 00:54:28.840
he has every quality to be a
top player. And when the game in

784
00:54:28.920 --> 00:54:32.000
the NHL is played, you know
with in an orderly fashion, where you

785
00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:35.599
pick up your head, you know
where everybody is that you got to make

786
00:54:35.639 --> 00:54:38.000
plays quickly, You gotta make plays
under pressure. But Axel, Sandy and

787
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:42.800
Pellica to me, does all of
that. And and like Sergey Zoobach,

788
00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:49.000
don't ever underestimate how competitive they are. Still waters run deep. That was

789
00:54:49.039 --> 00:54:52.400
the case with Sergey. It's the
same thing with Axel, Sandy and Pellica.

790
00:54:52.039 --> 00:54:55.360
Craig Guy at eleven where the Canucks
pick you, I love it.

791
00:54:55.440 --> 00:55:00.400
You got matthew Wood, big,
huge kid on a Nanaimo Victoria is Lee's

792
00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:02.760
University of Connecticut, one of the
youngest players in the NCAA. What do

793
00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:07.000
you like about him? You know
what? A couple of well, not

794
00:55:07.079 --> 00:55:09.119
a couple of things, like I'd
like that. There's a lot of like

795
00:55:09.239 --> 00:55:15.639
about matthew Wood. And you know, he's got this excellent skill package.

796
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:16.880
I mean, he can skate,
he can handle the puck, he can

797
00:55:16.960 --> 00:55:22.639
make plays. He's got this great
range with his size, It's almost like

798
00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:25.840
he makes things look easy, you
know. Coincidentally, you know, he

799
00:55:27.239 --> 00:55:30.480
playing at the University of Connecticut is
also where Tage Thompson played, and I

800
00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:35.320
see some similarities. I see some
similarities at the same stage of the game,

801
00:55:35.719 --> 00:55:38.280
you know where you know Tage needed
some time to develop physically and get

802
00:55:38.360 --> 00:55:45.559
everything coordinated. I think Matthew is
similar. Matthew is able to stretch opponents

803
00:55:45.639 --> 00:55:52.400
and stretch defenders and create opportunities for
himself because he's got great hands, he's

804
00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:55.320
got great awareness in and around the
net, and that size and length just

805
00:55:55.559 --> 00:56:01.000
keeps everybody at bay. I think
he's got enormous potential Chell once everything comes

806
00:56:01.079 --> 00:56:07.880
together physically. In my view,
I don't think he'll be there at eleven.

807
00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:09.920
I don't think he'll be there at
eleven for the for the Vancouver Canucks.

808
00:56:10.199 --> 00:56:14.320
But that type of player, they
don't come around. And you know,

809
00:56:14.679 --> 00:56:19.559
one of the things that's always impressed
me about Matthew is that the harder

810
00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:22.559
the competition, he is a player
that's always risen up to that level.

811
00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:29.760
It's not like the level as he
became higher and more challenging that he had

812
00:56:30.119 --> 00:56:34.239
he had problems. He has risen
to it in a big significant way,

813
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.679
a really really good part. You
know I talked about him like that,

814
00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:39.599
right and you're probably going, hey, you don't have him rank hind that

815
00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:45.320
could be the case. Craig Kyle
Dubas said yesterday that if he is still

816
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:47.880
the GM of the Maple Leafs,
he would treat somebody big, and he

817
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:52.440
said he's open to anything. You
talked about it last time you're on our

818
00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:55.800
show. But there could be some
big changes in Toronto this summer. Craig,

819
00:56:58.440 --> 00:57:01.559
Yeah, I think changes are necessary. You know, one of the

820
00:57:01.679 --> 00:57:05.239
things, and you know, you
know how it is at this time of

821
00:57:05.320 --> 00:57:07.159
the year. Okay, who would
your trade? And everything I know as

822
00:57:07.199 --> 00:57:12.039
a manager and being a management I
can't begin to tell you how many great

823
00:57:12.079 --> 00:57:15.639
trades we made in our own minds
the offices. But you have counterparts out

824
00:57:15.679 --> 00:57:20.280
there that might not share the same
views as you, right, So you

825
00:57:20.360 --> 00:57:22.920
know, one of the things that
I think you really have to do is

826
00:57:22.039 --> 00:57:25.559
is identify what you're looking to do. Listen, you want to trade Austin

827
00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:29.440
Matthews, easy to do. You
want to trade Willing You're easy to do,

828
00:57:29.719 --> 00:57:31.400
Mitch Marner, easy to do.
You know, you can trade any

829
00:57:31.480 --> 00:57:37.280
number of players, But what you're
ultimately trying to do is is build your

830
00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:39.679
team. You're trying to build your
team, So what does the team need

831
00:57:40.079 --> 00:57:45.400
and what players if you're considering trade, and what did they bring and that

832
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:49.039
becomes eye opening. You know,
when you're a manager and you're thinking,

833
00:57:49.079 --> 00:57:52.920
Okay, I'm going to focus manager. I really think that this would be

834
00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:57.400
a good fit. And at the
end of it, managers know and conversely,

835
00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:00.559
you get calls that might surprise you
to go, let's explore that a

836
00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:06.199
little bit. So it's easy to
trade good players and to Toronto Maplease have

837
00:58:06.280 --> 00:58:09.000
lots of good players. The objective
is what do you want to do with

838
00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:13.280
your team and how do you want
to build it. You know, think

839
00:58:13.320 --> 00:58:16.159
about the Tampa Bay Lightning and go
back a few years when they traded JT.

840
00:58:16.360 --> 00:58:20.159
Miller. JT. Miller was a
good player in Tampa, but they

841
00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:22.119
were looking to do some different things. So you know, they traded them

842
00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:25.639
for a first round draft pick and
you start to look back and go,

843
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:29.880
wow, I mean, was that
a good trade for the Tampa Bay Lightning

844
00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:34.079
in terms of getting a pick for
JT. Miller? Well, maybe not

845
00:58:34.239 --> 00:58:37.199
player for player, but it was
with the objective of what they were trying

846
00:58:37.239 --> 00:58:39.840
to do in the bigger picture and
in a salary cap world, that's how

847
00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:43.800
you have to treat it. You
want to trade those guys you can you

848
00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:46.599
might not get what makes your team
better. And I think that is the

849
00:58:46.719 --> 00:58:52.440
caution that you have to proceed with
when you're looking to make changes, because

850
00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:55.800
the wrong change is now you might
set your team even further back. Yeah,

851
00:58:57.480 --> 00:58:59.760
they use that first round draft pick, if I'm not mistaken, to

852
00:58:59.800 --> 00:59:02.000
get Blake Coleman, who helped him
win his Stanley Cup. Blake goes on

853
00:59:02.320 --> 00:59:07.639
to couch very very very quickly.
Craig uh Pete de Bore. We refer

854
00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:10.960
to this earlier, and I wanted
to ask you this, but seven and

855
00:59:12.079 --> 00:59:15.719
Oz in Game sevens. He's coached
five teams since two thousand and eight.

856
00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:19.559
He's never out of a job.
What's his gift as a head coach.

857
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:23.599
I think there's a lot of gifts
that he has. You know, I

858
00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:28.840
think that Peter is very clear in
his direction, and he's very clear in

859
00:59:28.960 --> 00:59:32.159
what he's looking for. Uh.
You know, Peter can also be to

860
00:59:32.480 --> 00:59:36.199
that point of uncompromising, like this
is the way it's going to be,

861
00:59:36.800 --> 00:59:39.760
and if we're not going to play
that way, we're gonna have big problems.

862
00:59:40.760 --> 00:59:45.440
He commands a room, he commands
a team. Now that might also

863
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:47.679
be the reason he's on his fifth
team, or he's had so many teams

864
00:59:47.679 --> 00:59:52.000
since two thousand and eight as well. But you know, when when you're

865
00:59:52.039 --> 00:59:55.159
looking for a good coach, something
coaches like like they're going to have a

866
00:59:55.320 --> 01:00:00.800
certain time frame to to to make
the greatest impact on a team, and

867
01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:04.400
I think Peter has done that.
And then that time frame, you know,

868
01:00:04.599 --> 01:00:07.159
comes to an end and you move
on. I think you just have

869
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:09.199
to realize that. I think Peter
realizes it. I think the Dallas Stars

870
01:00:09.320 --> 01:00:13.719
realize that when they hired them.
But when you're looking for somebody to come

871
01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:16.320
in, that is very exactly how
he wants to play. You know,

872
01:00:16.440 --> 01:00:22.159
commands a room, uncompromising, sometimes
to a fault, but it gets results.

873
01:00:22.519 --> 01:00:25.880
You know, when players hit that
point and a team hits that point

874
01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:30.199
where they're going, Okay, we're
going to endure maybe a little bit more

875
01:00:31.400 --> 01:00:37.159
of authority and I use that word
and from a coaching point of view to

876
01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:39.559
try to win. You know,
players become accepting to that, and I

877
01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:44.320
think that's where Peter has has real
success. Pat Burns when Coach of the

878
01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:47.280
Year with three different teams. He
lasted three years with all of them,

879
01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:51.360
but didn't mean he wasn't He's a
Hall of Fame coach, and I think

880
01:00:51.960 --> 01:00:54.679
Peter has a lot of those same
quality. So, Craig, as we

881
01:00:54.760 --> 01:01:00.480
actually go here. You said earlier
that the Craigslist isn't a addiction of the

882
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:05.920
draft. Are you saying that NHL
general managers don't look at your list and

883
01:01:06.159 --> 01:01:08.559
make a pick based on that?
Like, I am shocked. I can't

884
01:01:08.599 --> 01:01:14.079
believe it. Well, it's I
can't share that, but I mean,

885
01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:17.239
I mean, I give the list
goes to all the general managers and that

886
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:21.559
will be each team's final list.
If you want to know what every team's

887
01:01:21.599 --> 01:01:24.280
list looks like in the NHL,
it's an exact replication of Mink. That's

888
01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:29.239
that's what I thought. So the
Cannocks are picking wood. The Cannocks are

889
01:01:29.280 --> 01:01:34.480
picking wood. Well, if everybody
follows the script, Rick, you know,

890
01:01:34.599 --> 01:01:37.119
that's the way it should be.
Good. Craig, thanks for this,

891
01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:42.400
appreciate it. We'll talk to you
next week. Thanks, Craig.

892
01:01:42.440 --> 01:01:45.400
Button craigs list it's out on the
TSN website if you want to check it.

893
01:01:46.199 --> 01:01:49.840
Check it out. You were surprised
at Connor Badard was first on that

894
01:01:49.960 --> 01:01:53.679
list, Oh I was not.
Okay, pull question. We'll update that.

895
01:01:54.199 --> 01:01:58.760
I also want to talk about the
NBA Draft lottery. Got some old

896
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:01.760
footage from nineteen eighty five. I
want to I want to run it's it's

897
01:02:01.840 --> 01:02:07.760
priceless. The infamous nineteen eighty five
NBA Draft lottery, the Frozen envelope,

898
01:02:07.039 --> 01:02:12.559
all of that. So poll question, it's Kinnock related. NBA Draft lottery

899
01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:16.440
from eighty five. Next, Donnie
Delighted Team. I'll check Donnie and Dolly.

900
01:02:16.760 --> 01:02:22.639
The team is supported by able Auctions, dot c A solos in your

901
01:02:22.679 --> 01:02:30.719
business you can help. That is
Jack Joyce. He's the head of security

902
01:02:30.840 --> 01:02:36.119
for the NBA. Spinning the drum. There's about six terms. I think

903
01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:51.880
the team whose logo is in this
envelope will have the first pick in the

904
01:02:52.039 --> 01:03:08.079
NBA draft, David Butcher. The
second pick in the nineteen eighty five NBA

905
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:22.639
Draft goes to the Indiana the Harsh
Shoe Work Basketball. In fact, we

906
01:03:22.880 --> 01:03:27.840
run that. That was from nineteen
eighty five. Because the NBA Draft Lottery

907
01:03:28.119 --> 01:03:30.920
takes place tonight, they do it
a little bit different. Now there's no

908
01:03:31.280 --> 01:03:36.159
drum with envelopes in it. But
that was the first NBA Draft lottery.

909
01:03:36.480 --> 01:03:42.880
It was the infamous frozen envelope,
supposedly frozen envelope a lottery. You know,

910
01:03:43.079 --> 01:03:46.400
the story is that the NBA wanted
Patrick Ewing to go to the New

911
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:53.000
York Knicks. Someone through the Knicks
envelope in a freezer or creased the corners

912
01:03:53.639 --> 01:04:00.119
and you know, Uh Commissioner Stearn
knew exactly what he was doing. He

913
01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:03.239
picked that envelope and the rest is
history. Patrick Ewing, I'm not mistaken.

914
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:08.960
Never never won an NBA A title, So maybe there was some ka

915
01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:13.079
karma there, but I'm loving the
head of security, Jack Joy's role.

916
01:04:13.159 --> 01:04:16.920
We joked about the about the NHL
maybe using an old school drum not that

917
01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:23.400
long ago. That's what the NBA. NBA was using. Victor Webbin Yama

918
01:04:23.679 --> 01:04:29.599
is the prize this year. He's
the NBA's Connor Bdard Well a little bit

919
01:04:29.679 --> 01:04:33.480
different to when it comes to dimensions. Seven foot four, nineteen years old,

920
01:04:33.599 --> 01:04:38.599
eight foot wingspan. He's been playing
pro in the French League since he

921
01:04:38.719 --> 01:04:42.840
was fifteen, and he's just he's
something special. Detroit, Houston and Charlotte

922
01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:46.440
they do it different in the NBA. Those three teams Pistons, Rockets,

923
01:04:46.920 --> 01:04:53.320
Hornets, each with a fourteen percent
chance of winning the number one overall pick.

924
01:04:53.400 --> 01:04:56.679
But that was an inflamuous moment.
Was an NBA roll Maybe it wasn't

925
01:04:56.719 --> 01:05:02.199
infamous. Nobody's confirmed whether or not
the envelope was nineteen, the late grade.

926
01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:06.639
David Stern. I could go on
and on about him and how he

927
01:05:06.719 --> 01:05:12.400
treated us, uh with the vancover
media. He was wonderfully big fan of

928
01:05:12.519 --> 01:05:15.800
Vancouver, wonderful to deal with.
And one of his great regrets, he

929
01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:18.880
said before he passed away, was
uh, Vancouver not making a goal with

930
01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:23.199
it that they moved a little too
quickly. The rules worked against the Grizzlies.

931
01:05:23.599 --> 01:05:26.280
There was a whole lot there,
but I just thought I'd run that

932
01:05:26.480 --> 01:05:30.239
because I just loved the stuff with
the with the with the drum and head

933
01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:34.280
of security Jack Joyce pull question bet
ny nine dot net poll question. It's

934
01:05:34.480 --> 01:05:38.840
kannak reletted. Every game begins at
bet ninny nine dot net. All right,

935
01:05:38.920 --> 01:05:42.239
our bet nine and nine dot dot
dot net poll question. Do you

936
01:05:42.320 --> 01:05:49.239
consider Jonathan mccarama. That's another that's
that's another website dot net he was watching.

937
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:53.760
Yeah, yeah, it's that,
you know. The lady from Orborough

938
01:05:53.840 --> 01:05:56.960
got me confused. Anyways, the
Karamackie he's in the video, the ear

939
01:05:57.079 --> 01:06:03.280
Yeah, uh fifty two percent say
Lacarramack he's the best prospect. I'm not

940
01:06:03.400 --> 01:06:09.280
there. I think Archer Slaves is
right now. Donny right there with Lacarramaki.

941
01:06:09.320 --> 01:06:13.519
I think there's one one or one
A one b yes or one one

942
01:06:13.800 --> 01:06:17.079
one Okay. And the reason why're
bringing this up is because Jonathan LACARRAMACKI there's

943
01:06:17.119 --> 01:06:21.039
some news surrounding him. Yeah,
he signed today. Uh, Donny in

944
01:06:21.400 --> 01:06:28.239
uh in the CIA, in the
UM, I see s HR, I

945
01:06:28.320 --> 01:06:36.880
see the s in or or bro
in the chatchwe rebro Geez. I'm gonna

946
01:06:36.920 --> 01:06:41.280
have trouble with that name all next
year. I gotta call the rebro GM

947
01:06:41.599 --> 01:06:45.000
in trouble with Sweden and let's get
the coach on, Joann Hedberg, former

948
01:06:45.360 --> 01:06:48.920
goaltender. Anyways, Johnny's signed in
uh Sweden. Four teams are after him.

949
01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:54.920
The Canucks loved the fact that Joanne
Hedberg is the coach there, that

950
01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:59.840
he's buddies with Patrick Alvin the Canucks
GM. So John KERMACKI moving up,

951
01:07:00.320 --> 01:07:03.239
moving up the top top league,
top league. Canucks think this is the

952
01:07:03.320 --> 01:07:06.599
best place for his development and he's
going to be there. It's a two

953
01:07:06.719 --> 01:07:11.159
year deal, but after next season, they're gonna sit down and decide should

954
01:07:11.159 --> 01:07:14.400
he come to North America. He
can leave any time. It doesn't mean

955
01:07:14.440 --> 01:07:16.440
he's got to play the two years
there. He can leave anytime come back

956
01:07:16.800 --> 01:07:20.239
at a Vancouver rappersport. And we
also asked this question because of Artur sea

957
01:07:20.239 --> 01:07:24.840
LOFs and what he's doing in the
World's recapping the first segment here. Yeah,

958
01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:28.719
and sea Lobs. It was great
yesterday, leading UH Latvia to their

959
01:07:28.760 --> 01:07:30.800
first ever win over the Czech Republic
of the World's Donnie. This kid is

960
01:07:30.800 --> 01:07:38.239
twenty two years old and look at
the save U. Unbelievable. Of course

961
01:07:38.280 --> 01:07:42.599
he saw some that's it. He
saw some NHLA splits. He did the

962
01:07:42.599 --> 01:07:47.960
splits. No, we can't do
that. No, but other arct bains

963
01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:56.360
will be another pros uh Clinkovich.
You consider Rathbone Glander, they plans.

964
01:07:57.119 --> 01:08:00.920
I tell you he would be up
there. Ryan Johnson has some great things

965
01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:04.280
to say about jet WU, but
you know, bottom line, Rick,

966
01:08:04.320 --> 01:08:09.800
there's not a whole lot there.
What's the statue had a rankings Hockey News

967
01:08:09.920 --> 01:08:14.719
ranked the Canucks prospects twenty eighth out
of thirty two teams. Not good business.

968
01:08:15.679 --> 01:08:17.159
Then I've got some business. Yeah, okay, let me go first.

of the now needed Seattle Kraken in the

979
01:09:01.159 --> 01:09:10.920

980
01:09:11.079 --> 01:09:14.239
Yeah, amongst the best in the
end, but takes a dip.

981
01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:17.319
Not the most popular, I don't
think. I think the reverse retro jersey

982
01:09:17.439 --> 01:09:20.720
is the most popular. Crowd.

1017
01:11:59.239 --> 01:12:03.119
Okay, now it makes sense,
No it doesn't. Okay, we'll

1018
01:12:03.159 --> 01:12:10.039
work out later. Martha Stewart guys, Oh yeah. Martha Stewart is among

1019
01:12:10.159 --> 01:12:15.319
the cover models for the twenty twenty
three Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. We have

1020
01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:19.640
some pictures here. I believe.
The lifestyle businesswoman is eighty one years old.

1021
01:12:19.960 --> 01:12:26.439
Eighty one. She's a cover of
the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She

1022
01:12:26.680 --> 01:12:30.920
is the oldest swimsuit model. The
magazine is featured, calling this development historic.

1023
01:12:31.640 --> 01:12:35.680
Martha posed in the Dominican Republic for
the shoot and appears in a total

1024
01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:41.000
of ten looks. There's some other
pictures there, I believe. Yeah,

1025
01:12:41.199 --> 01:12:44.880
right, you got more. Martha's
career began as a model at age fifteen,

1026
01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:46.760
so she has experience at this,
although it was a while back.

1027
01:12:47.439 --> 01:12:55.000
She then worked as a Wall Street
stockbroker and later started a catering business,

1028
01:12:55.119 --> 01:12:58.960
which it grew into a lifestyle media
company. It's another shot of her on

1029
01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:01.239
the beach with a I had had
huge hat. What's up with that?

1030
01:13:02.199 --> 01:13:06.319
Well, it's for shade. That's
like a tent. You're talking about the

1031
01:13:06.359 --> 01:13:13.159
hat right now. Stewart's more recent
modeling with social media selfies have gained praise,

1032
01:13:13.279 --> 01:13:15.960
particularly an image she shared of herself
in a pool in twenty twenty.

1033
01:13:16.239 --> 01:13:20.800
I think that this, you know, snowball from there. There she is

1034
01:13:20.960 --> 01:13:27.920
on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Brilliant move by people who really know what

1035
01:13:28.000 --> 01:13:31.039
they're doing when it comes to getting
attention. Martha Stewart and Sports Illustrated.

1036
01:13:31.399 --> 01:13:34.119
You put an eighty one year old
who looks like she does, she's as

1037
01:13:34.159 --> 01:13:40.439
fit as can be on the cover, you're gonna get attention that famous as

1038
01:13:40.520 --> 01:13:48.159
well? Yeah? Is that all
you have to say to say? Here's

1039
01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:54.920
what I found surprising is that I
um shold these pictures to my wife.

1040
01:13:54.960 --> 01:13:57.119
He was getting ready for the show
today, and I thought, oh,

1041
01:13:57.199 --> 01:14:00.479
she'd be like, oh, this
is just wonderful as that eight You know,

1042
01:14:00.800 --> 01:14:02.560
doesn't matter how old you are,
you can still be good of all

1043
01:14:02.600 --> 01:14:05.039
that sort of stuff. And she
was like, naa, this is this

1044
01:14:05.199 --> 01:14:09.760
is all photoshopped. What I thought
there was a bit of caddionist there.

1045
01:14:10.159 --> 01:14:14.640
I really, I really did.
Wow. But look, even if these

1046
01:14:14.680 --> 01:14:17.920
are photoshops, right yeah, which
I don't think they are, well,

1047
01:14:17.960 --> 01:14:20.600
I don't know if they are or
they're not. But even if they are

1048
01:14:20.760 --> 01:14:25.119
just a little bit eighty one years
old, we should all be so lucky

1049
01:14:25.560 --> 01:14:29.439
at the last that long. Secondly, to look anywhere near this, so

1050
01:14:29.640 --> 01:14:34.279
definitely I would have gone with a
share. She looks fabulous. You're obsessed

1051
01:14:34.359 --> 01:14:38.680
with that? What was it?
What was it the cover of people or

1052
01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:41.880
something there was on I was getting
groceries and Share was on one of those

1053
01:14:41.960 --> 01:14:45.760
magazines, unbelievable in her seventies,
looks great. Susanne Summers is another one

1054
01:14:45.800 --> 01:14:50.000
in her seventies, looks great.
But Martha Stewart's in her eighties. Gay,

1055
01:14:50.079 --> 01:14:54.800
but I get that Susanne Summer seventy
six shares over seventy. I would

1056
01:14:54.840 --> 01:14:57.840
have gone that way, but you
know, it's their call. Little Ricky

1057
01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:02.079
ever purchased the spimsuit edition of Little
rick Uh. We used to Sports Illustrated

1058
01:15:02.279 --> 01:15:05.920
was way bigger, Donnie, you
know, without the cell phones back in

1059
01:15:05.960 --> 01:15:11.239
the eighties. It was a swimsuit
edition. Yes, any details you want

1060
01:15:11.239 --> 01:15:15.359
to shot, but it was a
big deal for the kids. What about

1061
01:15:15.159 --> 01:15:18.560
Sports Illustrated We run to the swimsuit
edition. I mean, are you kidding

1062
01:15:18.640 --> 01:15:24.680
me? Yes? Good for her? Yeah, like honestly, absolutely absolutely,

1063
01:15:25.119 --> 01:15:30.760
Like again, we should all be
so lucky. My wife's reaction.

1064
01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:33.399
Yeah, Okay, birthdays, guys, we have twelve birthdays. I'm a

1065
01:15:33.479 --> 01:15:39.560
little bit discombobulated here, but I'll
try my best. I believe we have

1066
01:15:39.720 --> 01:15:44.000
twelve birthdays. The line is set
at ten and a half by Sweaty,

1067
01:15:44.079 --> 01:15:48.680
McDougall's Leather Kilts and Casino and mahone
Bay, Nova, Scotia and Sports Illustrators

1068
01:15:48.720 --> 01:15:56.399
all already contacted Sweaty about next year
swimsuit issue, leather kilt on a beach?

1069
01:15:56.560 --> 01:16:00.199
Think about it? Is this the
final week for sweating today? Is

1070
01:16:00.239 --> 01:16:02.319
that a hint? Ryan? You
know, because I think you mentioned that

1071
01:16:03.039 --> 01:16:08.319
yesterday? We really wanted that guy
mad at you? Okay, good point,

1072
01:16:08.439 --> 01:16:11.680
good point, rock and roll.
All right, I think I've got

1073
01:16:11.760 --> 01:16:15.319
the right date. Here we look
at I'm all messed up here. Okay,

1074
01:16:15.359 --> 01:16:18.640
here we go. Late undrafted former
Cannucks center played sixty nine games for

1075
01:16:18.760 --> 01:16:26.880
Vancouver and nine twenty ten, collecting
four goals and how didn't twenty six played

1076
01:16:26.960 --> 01:16:31.720
junior hockey with Regina Patts. I
think the keyword here is late uh oh

1077
01:16:32.600 --> 01:16:36.039
oh. Rick Rippin, Yeah,
you talked about him earlier today before the

1078

physical vouver. Yes, around the pool

1081
01:16:54.159 --> 01:16:57.479
like Martha Stewart. Maybe he should
have been on the cover. Those pitchers

1082
01:16:57.520 --> 01:17:00.760
weren't touched up. But again I
always say with Kyle Wellwood, I know

1083
01:17:00.880 --> 01:17:02.439
Rick bald and I used to always
talking about instead of I thought he looked

1084
01:17:02.479 --> 01:17:08.199
okay, those pictures for the average
guy. Sabers left winger signed an eight

swimsuit issue. There's there's a big actress

I've ever seen. Right, get
it up. Look at this. Uh,

1149
01:22:42.800 --> 01:22:46.439
everyone was offing this weekend. I
was working. I was up at

1150
01:22:46.479 --> 01:22:50.760
Whistler working on getting Tony Tanti into
the Ring of Honor for Rick. Look

1151
01:22:50.800 --> 01:22:55.000
at that and you know who this
is, Trevor and Steveston. Look at

1152
01:22:55.039 --> 01:23:00.880
that that. I love that jersey. I love Tony should have that honor.

1153
01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:04.920
The owner of this team should wake
up and put Tony Tanti, one

1154
01:23:04.960 --> 01:23:09.399
of the best players in the eighties, one of my favorites, and then

1155
01:23:09.479 --> 01:23:12.880
Donnie yours too. Tony Tanti was
the best. I mean, come on

1156
01:23:13.000 --> 01:23:15.399
and get him in the Ring of
Honor in front of the NAT tip tipping

1157
01:23:15.439 --> 01:23:17.960
the pipe. And he scored so
many goals down on week teams. To

1158
01:23:18.079 --> 01:23:21.760
score that many goals every year,
forty plus forty plus fun week teams,

1159
01:23:23.279 --> 01:23:25.920
he was so good. By the
way Craig Button goes on and on about

1160
01:23:25.960 --> 01:23:29.079
Sergey Zoobov a lot, I think
it would surprise a lot of people to

1161
01:23:29.159 --> 01:23:30.880
find out because he was such a
subtle player. It's in the Hockey Hall

1162
01:23:30.880 --> 01:23:33.319
of Fame. Yeah, that's right, He's in the Hockey Hall of fame.

1163
01:23:33.399 --> 01:23:38.119
But that that's just a great shot. Hockey drizzys are big on the

1164
01:23:38.159 --> 01:23:41.319
ski slopes, so big. Okay, we got we're gonna stay Whisner right,

those drinks. It's good, um,

1169
01:23:58.840 --> 01:24:01.960
gene tonics, Gin and tonics.
Ryan, don't pipe in. You don't

1170
01:24:01.960 --> 01:24:05.079
know. You've never had a drink
in your light. You can't guess what

1171
01:24:05.199 --> 01:24:11.680
it is, Ryan, not a
chance. One more, mohito, two

1172

1174
01:24:16.359 --> 01:24:19.000
No, it's not overseas. Ryan, for crying out loud, there's

1175
01:24:19.119 --> 01:24:24.279
nothing to say. It's overseas.

01:24:34.560 --> 01:24:39.880
Happy birthday, Bill, and thanks
for supporting the show. This is

1180
01:24:39.920 --> 01:24:42.479
Bill here, Noah, this is
Bill right there? And where is he?

1181
01:24:43.039 --> 01:24:48.159
I don't there's a looks like he
might be in Mexico overseas. Nah,

1182
01:24:48.319 --> 01:24:54.079
Mexico is not overseas. Ryan that
you Hawaii's overseas, but look at

1183
01:24:54.119 --> 01:24:57.960
this. The Banker Island is over
No, it's not. But anyways,

1184
01:24:58.000 --> 01:25:00.880
Bill, happy birthday, Thank you
very much. Now we're gonna go overseas.

1185
01:25:01.600 --> 01:25:03.920
How do we got here? Like
one more? Okay, one more

1186
01:25:04.720 --> 01:25:10.680
big fan of from the Funny Station
days and watch us and listens to the

1187
01:25:10.760 --> 01:25:14.880
show from Ukna? Is it Kona? Donny? Yeah, ConA, Hawaii.

1188
01:25:15.199 --> 01:25:18.279
Paradise isn't complete without the show and
tough one it could be, Conna.

1189
01:25:18.359 --> 01:25:21.039
I don't know. You just look
like a Hawaii specialist to you.

1190
01:25:21.680 --> 01:25:27.000
Paradise isn't complete without the show on
the check plus app and and Walt from

1191
01:25:27.039 --> 01:25:31.199
the East Side, and thank you
for this picture. Thanks for supporting the

1192
01:25:31.239 --> 01:25:34.880
show, and enjoy your time.
And ConA, Hawaii, thank you so

1193
01:25:35.039 --> 01:25:41.399
much. Incredible all these places we'd
love to be, but it's pretty good

1194
01:25:41.439 --> 01:25:45.279
here. Yeah, in a dungeon
and we love it here. I'm just

1195
01:25:45.399 --> 01:25:49.479
kidding. It's time for some Is
it just me, quick quick quick news?

1196
01:25:49.600 --> 01:25:51.439
Nick? Is it just me?
Or if the Cannucks played Born to

1197
01:25:51.479 --> 01:25:55.520
be Alive during games they had better
seats, they wouldn't have the twenty fifth

1198
01:25:55.600 --> 01:25:59.359
best arena in the NHL. Is
Nick referring to some sort of poles.

1199
01:25:59.520 --> 01:26:00.880
Yeah, didn't see, but it
was. It was a weird poll.

1200
01:26:00.920 --> 01:26:06.239
It's about it's it takes into account
walking distance to transit and bars. And

1201
01:26:08.319 --> 01:26:13.119
they said that walking distance the transits
eight minutes away from Roger's arena. No,

1202
01:26:13.960 --> 01:26:17.319
right there, sorry there for me, twenty fifth, I don't care,

1203
01:26:17.439 --> 01:26:23.439
Ryan, twenty fifth is bad?
Yeah, you process seats, that's

1204
01:26:23.479 --> 01:26:27.000
a lot. They're not doing well
in rankings. By the way, Um,

1205
01:26:27.560 --> 01:26:31.279
I received some information visual information on
the weekend. Can you tell us

1206
01:26:31.279 --> 01:26:36.000
about them? Well, okay,
I can't. I'm not rick that.

1207
01:26:36.479 --> 01:26:41.399
I'm now on your side when it
comes to the seats. How bad they

1208
01:26:41.439 --> 01:26:44.880
are? Yes, I can't go
into detail. How many months it might

1209
01:26:44.920 --> 01:26:47.960
be saying this can't go into detail. But you're you're bang on. Are

1210
01:26:47.960 --> 01:26:50.359
you happy now? Yeah? Good? Good Now? I just gotta convince

1211
01:26:50.479 --> 01:26:54.039
him. We'll wrap up the show. The poll question more, Is it

1212
01:26:54.119 --> 01:26:58.920
just means next, I need to
do the team check bet ninety nine gotten

1213
01:26:58.960 --> 01:27:05.479
at poll Arton. Jonathan Lacara Maackie
now with a Swedish Elite Division Elite League

1214
01:27:05.520 --> 01:27:09.880
team. Yep, he signed in
a reb road today to year deal.

1215
01:27:09.920 --> 01:27:13.239
So our bet ninety nine dot pull
question, do you consider Lacara Maacki the

1216
01:27:13.279 --> 01:27:17.039
Canucks best prospect? Fifty two percent
say yes, but it's pretty even.

1217
01:27:17.079 --> 01:27:20.279
Stephen up the middle of their liking. You split up the middle, Donny,

1218
01:27:21.079 --> 01:27:26.800
but it's not like there's a whole
lot of prospects either well or nothing

1219
01:27:26.840 --> 01:27:30.399
against Jonathan Well nothing again. I
mean art or Sea Loaves for me is

1220
01:27:30.479 --> 01:27:34.079
right there with them business. That's
right. I'll tell you, Donnie.

1232
01:28:15.560 --> 01:28:19.199

1233
01:28:19.239 --> 01:28:24.319
and marry Anne Ginger marry Ann Don
Gilligan's Island, there were the two best

1234

Don and sickamouse? Is it just
me? Wasn't the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition

1236
01:28:33.000 --> 01:28:36.399

we won't we won't mention. But don

1237
01:28:36.520 --> 01:28:42.359
you your bang on for the young
man out there back in the day like

you and I? What do you
got? The Connocks will draft to five

1239
01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:48.760
ten, one seventy pounds suite because
we like small, non physical, passive,

1240
01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:54.359
easy to push her own players.
And and this is what does nationality

1241

just what he's trying. Isn't easy to

1242
01:28:57.880 --> 01:29:02.079
push her on. Donnie. What
he's trying to lud at is for years

1243
01:29:02.159 --> 01:29:04.840
and years, the Canucks has been
too easy to play against. It's time

1244
01:29:04.920 --> 01:29:09.199
to beef up. It's time to
get bigger, It's time to get stronger.

1245
01:29:09.399 --> 01:29:12.439
You got a coach that's one of
the best power forwards in the history

1246
01:29:12.439 --> 01:29:15.079
of the game. Get bigger.
