How are you 12 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:02.359 couldn't be better? You wanted to talk about Phil Kessel? Stop just stop? 13 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:07.200 Nothing nothing going on there? Canack's interested? Well, last time I 14 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.599 checked, they weren't you wanted to talk about I didn't want to. I 15 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.799 never We never talked about Castle before. We were just kind of, you 16 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.959 know, a spitballing that's all we were doing. I don't have any I 17 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.400 think that name's been out there when it comes to the Canucks, especially with 18 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.920 the Pittsburgh connection. Here's the problem done. He hasn't played in what I 19 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.959 would say ten months. That's problem number one. And last season the Canucks 20 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.200 talked to Castle's agent in the summer and they couldn't strike a deal. I 21 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.439 think he was looking for a contract. I think that the Canucks were probably 22 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.200 say come into training camp for a PTO. I don't have evidence there after 23 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.640 him, but that's a name that Vancouver fans keep throwing out there, right. 24 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.200 I don't think there's anything I haven't checked lately, But last time I 25 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.079 checked that he wasn't on the radar. There you go. A Castle update 26 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.560 doesn't strike me, even though there's that Pittsburgh connection. As a Ricktocket type 27 00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.519 player, well hold of a second talk it had him in Arizona, right, 28 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.599 oh yeah. Talking last weekend at the All Star Game, said I 29 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:06.680 would I still believe in Phil. I still believe in my I think you 30 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.439 can still help a team out there. So maybe he is a Tacket type, 31 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.000 but he is a Talket type guy. Talkt's played a big role in 32 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.520 the recruiting of Kessel. But Donnie hasn't played in so long, I mean, 33 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:20.360 come on, his agent's working hard to try and get him a new 34 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:27.439 course. As we move on here, what a tremendous night of National Hockey 35 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.520 League viewing. Oh so, and it started off for me with the Flames 36 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:38.280 and the Bruins and Andre Kuzmenko four minutes into his Flames debut, scores a 37 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.159 goal, wearing number ninety six for the Flames. It was was on the 38 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.360 power play set up by Jonathan Huberdo, who's the first star of this game. 39 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.360 Maybe ku'smeco is going to help resurrect his career career. Two goals and 40 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:58.159 one assist for Huberto first the star. But Andre Kuzmeko and right right off 41 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.400 the bat, and you called me and said the Knucks made a bad deal. 42 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.400 Yeah, stop it. I didn't alight. Now you were all you 43 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.800 you're loving this? Cusemeko stuff. It was a bullet of a shot. 44 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.000 You know what are you talking about? You're loving this? You were talking 45 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.319 about Cusmenko all morning. I can't remember a player. I think I talked 46 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.240 about this yesterday. But we repeat ourselves a lot on the show, and 47 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.400 hopefully people accept that. But a player who left the Canucks, especially for 48 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:29.360 a division run. Yeah, and everybody in Vancouver and connuctation is pulling for 49 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.439 the guy and why not and plays for the Flames. Yeah, but I'll 50 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:36.759 tell you that. But look at Flames fans and Flames Twitter last night. 51 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.879 Donty all over this guy? Oh what a trade we got him? Cuzmeenko. 52 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:44.960 You know why? The smile, the laugh, the hair, the 53 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:49.840 personality. It's hard not to cheer for andre Cusemeenko. It is hard not 54 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.240 to cheer for this guy. And the Flames are they're loving it. Did 55 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.240 you see do we have this Ryan from Flames Nation? This graphic here, 56 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.159 as we talked about before the show. So it his first game, we're 57 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.319 going to get to the conxsent a second in Carolina and they're victory folks. 58 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:09.280 But his first game for Calgary scores, his first goal as a Flame, 59 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:13.840 it was four to twenty in somebody, I think I read the stat last 60 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.759 night. It was the fifth fastest goal in a player's debut coming over from 61 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:23.600 another team. Did not know that fifteen minutes and seven seconds Is that his 62 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:29.160 season high? Wow? I'm not sure he got fifteen minutes last Yeah, 63 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.079 and a couple of shots, and he was on a line with Sharon Govic 64 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.680 and Hooper do and on the park. Here this from Flames Nation. Did 65 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:41.720 Audrey Kuzmenko have the best debut in Calgary Flames history? Come on, it 66 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.639 can't be, can it? And they're just in love with the guy's personality, 67 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.759 and certainly the stats were there last night. I guess that good for 68 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.480 him, you know, good for him, Good for Kazko. It didn't 69 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.600 work out here. I agree, he just couldn't play the way talking wants 70 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.759 him to play. And he goes to Calgary. He's been rejuvenated, Donny. 71 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.120 One game in anyway, one game in, it's all good. So 72 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.879 good for him. Yeah, absolutely good for him. So he scores and 73 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:10.439 then I tweeted out Kuzmenko with the next inflation mark. And then moments later, 74 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.040 lindholmscores his first goal for the Canucks on a tip that's right Lynn to 75 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.439 him. Two goals, both goals done you last night were on the power 76 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.639 play, both tips, front net presence. Love this guy, powerplay, 77 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.560 penalty killing face offs. He did it all on the ice land in the 78 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.759 game, blocked a shot Hockey IQ talk at Raven about him. So far, 79 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.079 so good. Video evidence now highlights Derek we got him, highlights, 80 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.959 rock and Roll, Buddy p and c Arena rally, North Carolina early first 81 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:44.480 Canucks power flay. But it's Jordan Martin Hook to Tavo Travinen back to Martinrook, 82 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.240 the former Vancouver Giant used to watch him play at the Coliseum wreck. 83 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.800 That's right, short had a tally one nothing Carolina. Later in the first 84 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:57.720 another Canucks power play, Quinn Hughes from the point, tips in by the 85 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:02.959 aforementioned Elias Lennholm in his Canucks debut wearing Murray Baron's old number. Twenty three 86 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:12.120 to one one Middle stands at yet another Vancouver power plays. Hughesster hughes Hey 87 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.279 shot again, dip dead by Elias Lindholme, his second give the Jim Gregory 88 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:21.639 Award to Alvin Now two to one. Still second Carolina power play Sebasta Aho 89 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:28.720 to Brent Burns back to Aaho takes a shot his team leading eighteenth. We've 90 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:33.480 got a two to two game of the tar Hills State early third cut a 91 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:40.199 tech off look a casual trying I sound like Dolliwall trying to pronounce that game 92 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.240 too casual, trying to play the puck. J T. Miller takes advantage 93 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.439 his twenty second three to two games that turned up the eight. Just Martin 94 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:51.720 Nachius to Cuyemmy Thatcher demp goes equal to the task, same goals for the 95 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:57.240 rest of the Canucks outshot twelve three in the thirty but three to two. 96 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.319 That's his gloves as they've come. Canucks hang on Vancouver over Carolina three too 97 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:06.879 Canucks in Boston Thursday, Like I pulled a groin trying to pronounce that name 98 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.279 there. I'm glad he does not play. And by the way, in 99 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:14.399 his draft here, the Canucks really liked him a lot. Coka Nami. 100 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.199 Yeah, they liked him a ton in his draft year. But off the 101 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:24.759 Montreal he went off. They beat them to the punch. This is who 102 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.439 they had on the ice at the end of the game. First of all, 103 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.000 Elias Lenholm was taking face offs. Him and Miller were taking face offs 104 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.720 with the game on the line. He ends up with over twenty one minutes, 105 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:39.959 leading all forwards in ice time. Yeah, I'm not sure, but 106 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:46.800 I'm pretty sure and confident in saying I don't think I don't think Kuzmika was 107 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.639 ever in that position on the ice at the end of the game, nursing 108 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.240 a one goal lead. And I'm not trying to rip into him as we 109 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:58.120 praised them earlier, taking face offs and all that and leading all forwards in 110 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.439 ice time. Yeh, but pk har player the two goals. He won 111 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.639 five of ten face offs, had six shot attempts, cooking the Emmy, 112 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.879 by the way, was really good on face offs Carolina last night, at 113 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.079 the end of the game, Patterson, Miller and Linnholmer on the ice. 114 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.839 Myers and Cole were the defense pair. Again we say how much Rick Talkett 115 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.959 respects Cole but Myers Tyler Myers, who's going to be a free agent? 116 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.319 Oh boy, he's going to be UFA And I'm sure his agent's looking at 117 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.120 his chop started JP Berry. Well, I tell you whose agent has to 118 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.120 be licking his jos in that Dakota Dakota Joshua's a agent. Oh we're blocked 119 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.960 a shot late late in the game. What are you looking for? He's 120 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.440 third in the NHL Donny in hits with one hundred and seventy six, second 121 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.360 among four Did you see the block Dakota Joshua. Yes, yes, I 122 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.279 want to give a shout out to an Abbosburg kid to last night, Donny 123 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.159 Noah juleson six hits and he had a block on the third he went down. 124 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.360 It was it was he was painful. This kid's come in, he 125 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.759 stepped in, Susie's out, Susie's you know he's got then knuckle and this 126 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.759 Jules and kids coming in and done a really good job. You don't want 127 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.639 to talk about Dakota josh Of course I do. You know why not? 128 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.600 I just don't try to think in the NHL and Henstock. I'm trying to 129 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:18.000 think two of a player who was in the doghouse earlier regarding conditioning. You 130 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.080 know, early in the season with a coach and man, he uses him, 131 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.600 uses him a lot. And I know he didn't lead the team in 132 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.399 icelan any, but he used them late in the game and like I say, 133 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.720 came up with that block. He's going to be a UFA rick. 134 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.159 They can't keep them all, No, you can't. I told you the 135 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.879 Canucks are looking at a situation. They got ten free agents. Half the 136 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.960 roster eight or UFA two are RFAs and the RFAs you know, are big 137 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.320 in Peterson and Heronic. Okay, so the starts with the Flames over Boston 138 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.919 for one, the Kuzmenko goal, and then the Cannucks in Carolina. A 139 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.440 real playoff feel to that game third period and the Canucks doing a great job 140 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.440 of being resilient. You know, the crowd was right into it. Carolina 141 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.039 looked looked really good. By the way you watch a game in involving the 142 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:13.000 team you follow more than any other, and in those situations you notice teams 143 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.399 that you don't normally don't follow a lot. Martin Nachius, for am I 144 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.480 wrong here? Like he looked for so good last night, seventy one points 145 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:28.120 last year, but on one sequence he did a couple of Savartian spinneramas yea 146 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.679 good player, and again I haven't focused on him a lot, but he 147 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.720 looked really really really really dangerous. And then he ended the night with the 148 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.559 Knights and Oilers, and man, that crowd was right into it in Vegas 149 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:45.639 as you would expect as they failed to get their seventeenth straight win. Just 150 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.480 a great night of NHL viewing, big night for the NHL for me Don. 151 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.879 The Canucks had nine days off, they going to Carolina outshoot them twelve 152 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:56.960 four in the first period. That's impressive to me. You know, they 153 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.080 were ready, they were focused, there was a like effort. There's a 154 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.039 reason why many people think the Canucks are Stanley Cup contenders because they play in 155 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.399 the act like one. This coaching staff has done a tremendous job. The 156 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.399 players are buying in. Look at the block shots last night, don twenty 157 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.399 by the Canucks, a lot of them late in the third. That's buying 158 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:20.840 right there. Giveaways Canucks only had three giveaways last night. That tells me 159 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:26.399 their puck management was really good. This like right now, this team, 160 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:33.080 it's hard to they're first in the standings in points, percentage points, fifty 161 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.639 games. I mean, they just they just picked up. You pointed out 162 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:41.320 Petterson had the bad giveaway on the first on the first I got a text 163 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.240 last night about the Canucks gave away the shorthanded goal. Peterson coughed it up. 164 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.080 At the third game in a row. There's been a turnover, a 165 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.480 turnover at the blue line, and you gotta be careful puck management. But 166 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.360 it was you know who, Lafferty in the corner that letting Martin hook the 167 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:00.240 folks started with the turnover. Yeah, and former Vancouver Giants creaking. Let's 168 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:05.279 build on what you were talking about. Here's Rick talk at postgame talking about 169 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.919 something he was very pleased with, how gritty, how resilient his team was 170 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.600 winning that game after the All Star break. Yeah, I think especially you 171 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.559 want to get into that physical hockey and you got to use the bench. 172 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:24.759 And I shortened it at the end, but when you play Carolina fast teams, 173 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.159 that heavy volume, you know, you got to use your bench. 174 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:31.440 It was it was a fast paced game out there for ten days off both 175 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.440 teams. I thought it was like a little playoff atmosphere. You felt good 176 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.759 about the two practices, you know, energy and speed and stuff. Is 177 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:41.759 there some part of you as a coach, it's just kind of relief now 178 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.320 that your team is the same one tonight that it was before the break. 179 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.320 Yeah. I mean I remember last year coming in coaching and I had that 180 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.039 break. We had that practice class made to play Jersey and Rangers back to 181 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.000 back, and I was worried about that. But these two good practices, 182 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.200 I thought we practiced well that it really helps you to ease your mind. 183 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.519 But I just like the system part of our game tonight, Well, I 184 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.240 thought a lot of guys were in good positions. I'm not sure guys watch 185 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.679 a lot of video, but we have video session last night that helped them. 186 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.960 These guys crave that stuff, so I thought it helped us tonight. 187 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.840 That's Ian McIntyre and conversation with Rick Talking. He made the point about the 188 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.600 two practices they were able to have, which doesn't always happen on the road. 189 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.279 Different situation because they're coming off the All Star break, but they had 190 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.720 the two practices on the road going into that game against the very good Carolina 191 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.320 team, and obviously he felt it helped. Rick Talking did here's what I 192 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.919 like, Donnie. When they got to Carolina, Talkeett told the All Star 193 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.200 guys, you don't have to practice tomorrow, and every single one of them 194 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.440 said, no, we are going to practice. You know, that's when 195 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.360 you know they could have took the day off the first practice in Carolina. 196 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.879 And guess what the All Stars did last night? Done eight points. You 197 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:54.360 know, they showed up. They picked up where they left off before the 198 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.240 break. Nine days off All Star you know, all Star weekend, they 199 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.759 come back and and just a great effort against Carolina, a very tough Carolina 200 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.279 team on the road, and it just shows you that these players are buying 201 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:09.279 what TALKA is selling. He was investador with two assists each of the two 202 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:15.600 goals by lin Holme. Speaking of Elias Linholm, here's the head coach again, 203 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.840 Rick Cockett on how Elias Linholm two goals leading all forwards in ice time 204 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.480 on late in that game, nursing a one goal lead, How he came 205 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.480 as advertised, Well, I think when we targeted him, the one thing 206 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:33.879 we said as an organization, you know, if we get a guy and 207 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.519 go for it or whatever you want to say it, you want to get 208 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.600 a guy that's intelligent. And you know, there was a minute laughter two, 209 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.000 you know, I said, I was telling him, you know, 210 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.720 he just got off and I was telling him something about a switch and he 211 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:46.879 was, yep, I got it. Like just you know, sometimes you 212 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.080 get guys well we'll hang on a second, you know, and they start 213 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.639 to not panic, but they're like they get antcy and he was just like 214 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.840 very calm. And you know, I mean they played eight oundred games or 215 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.840 I think it's eight hundred games, so the guy's a season and he's played 216 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:05.000 in some playoff games, so Yeah, I enjoyed talking hockey with him. 217 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.960 Just the NetFront thing. You've talked a lot about wanting a goalies. I 218 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.720 was taken away. Some of the NetFront stuff was a big part of this 219 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.240 team's power play last year, not as reliable over the course of this year. 220 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:16.879 Two in the first game, I mean, what's that mean to you? 221 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.879 Is the guy running the pp well, I mean, if you look 222 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.480 at it, that's high hand coordination. He was in front of the goalie, 223 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.440 hugging, made a couple of nice plays get it through. I mean, 224 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.840 that's the I mean, those are games. Those are goals you have 225 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.399 to get in the power play, and and tight games the tic tack those 226 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:43.200 don't happen very often late in the season. So yeah, I'm probably the 227 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.240 happiest guy because that NetFront goal is my favorite, you know I do. 228 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.720 I don't I like tac tic tac those, but those are those are my 229 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:54.399 favorite. Rick talk I hit coach at the Vancouver Canucks in Boston against the 230 00:15:54.480 --> 00:16:00.080 hated Bruins on Thursday. His thoughts on Elias and home. More on the 231 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.159 Cocks a little bit later. Here's what's coming up on the rest of the 232 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.399 show. DTMZ is it just me. In the next hour, Neil McAvoy 233 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.799 is going to join us, co general manager of the BC Lions.

He's Vancouver, SFU. He's 248 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.960 been on our show before. He's going to join us in a second. 249 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.559 Here. We found out this week that Canada is going to host thirteen World 250 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:41.920 Cup matches in twenty twenty six, seven of those matches at BC Place, 251 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:45.640 the other six in Toronto, and Victor joins us. Now, Victor, 252 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.200 thanks for doing this, sir. How are you good? How are you 253 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:53.519 guys doing very well? What's your reaction our country? You're city hosting all 254 00:17:53.559 --> 00:18:00.359 those World Cup matches in twenty twenty six. Yeah, we we snatched when 255 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.720 it comes to our city. I think we snatched victory from the jaws of 256 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:08.160 defeat a few years ago. But that'll be the title of the book, 257 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:14.079 I think one day. But no, listen, I think, uh, 258 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.000 you know, first, as a first, as a Canadian, you have 259 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.359 to be very proud that we have the World Cup. Second, obviously the 260 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.319 mounted games that we have, I think we've maxed out on what we could 261 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.240 have. And then obviously has a Vancouver right or as you probably uh, 262 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:32.440 as you uh said, and as I probably say, as an East Vancouver 263 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:36.440 right, you know, having seven games, including two knockout games, and 264 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:42.960 a potential of uh four Canadian games. Two for sure, it probably doesn't 265 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.319 get better than that. I don't think anybody, maybe other than me, 266 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.519 would have dreamed about that. I think this has to do with stadium size, 267 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.000 but figure, we're not used to this sort of thing. How the 268 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:57.599 heck did Vancouver get more matches than Toronto? Yeah? Yeah, I know 269 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:03.039 a guy that that knows a guy. All joking aside. I think you 270 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:07.079 know, Toronto is a great city. I was there on Thursday. They're 271 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.000 really behind it. I think they deserved the opening match, to be honest 272 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:17.079 to you from a Canada perspective, and you know, to be honest, 273 00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:21.880 it's almost equal. There was only one game that the Vancouver got more, 274 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.000 which is around the sixteen, and that had to do a little bit with 275 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.039 the size of the stadium, but really also with the match schedule itself, 276 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:33.440 because as soon as Canada's coming west for their second game and they're staying here, 277 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.759 it had to flow. As I said in other interviews, the flow 278 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.240 really is not on the east west flow. It's a north south flow, 279 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:45.279 and so just naturally you're gonna have around the sixteen comeing to Canada. We're 280 00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.079 only going to get one. It was a natural one to have it come 281 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.319 in the West where Canada was going to play their last group stage game. 282 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.200 And then you know, then you move down the East coast from a Toronto 283 00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.680 and obviously from the West coast from a Vancouver perspective. So it had to 284 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:06.519 do with a few factors, mass schedule, stadium size, and the wake 285 00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:11.240 Canada was playing their number two, number three matches in Vancouver. He if 286 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.519 Victor BC Place is going to need to go from artificial turf to natural gas? 287 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:21.720 Any update natural grass? Any update, any updates on when that process 288 00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:29.079 starts and finishes, I don't know. You should ask a BC hydro very 289 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:34.400 good natural I have grass written, I have grass Victor written, but tell 290 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.000 us when's it starting? Grass? When's it starting Victor? Yeah, So 291 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:42.279 it's not just BC Place, there's pretty much every stadium we have, especially 292 00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:47.640 in the US Mexico. Uh, even the ones that are grass. There's 293 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.200 going to be a lot of improvements required to get it up to a World 294 00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:55.160 Cup level. And Beamo's going through the same process. That process. I'm 295 00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:56.519 not an art you know, I'm not an engineer, but I believe that 296 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:03.000 process will start late twenty five, early twenty six. It's quite a process. 297 00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:04.960 You have to lift the field, you got to put irrigation underneath, 298 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:10.920 you got to put proper lighting, proper air circulation, because unlike what you 299 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:15.160 see for friendlies when they just come in with palettes that that's already dead grass 300 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.480 and it's only you know, it only lasts like a few days because they 301 00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:26.119 play one game. We are actually putting natural grass as if it was originally 302 00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:30.680 there from the beginning, because it's love, it's live, and you have 303 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.880 to put it in months and months before and then obviously there'll be a bit 304 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:38.480 of testing on it, and then about a month before the first game nothing, 305 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:45.079 So that process will start late twenty five early twenty six. The big 306 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.559 one also is tickets. When do they go on sale. There's going to 307 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.960 be a lottery system the price of tickets or you can outprice everybody, or 308 00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:57.200 like, can you give us an update on tickets. Yeah, So with 309 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.440 respect to tickets, I think you can already put your name onto FIFA dot 310 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:07.839 Com that you're interested, and it'll be a lottery system for the public like 311 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.240 every other World Cup. Really, the demand will be obviously quite high. 312 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:14.680 The good thing is we'll have more inventory for this World Cup than we had 313 00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:19.319 for Doha and for the twenty eighteen World Cup. But it will be a 314 00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:23.559 lottery system and in terms of prices, we're not there yet. Obviously, 315 00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:29.960 you know there'll be some also also depends on the venue of the group stage 316 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.160 knockout stage, so but we're not even there yet on the pricing. But 317 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.200 in terms of it will be a lottery system, so which it's really the 318 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:38.880 only way we can do it. I mean, you know, in Qatar 319 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.799 we had three and a half million tickets available to the public and we had 320 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:48.559 over fourteen million requests for three and a half million levels. And we think 321 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:53.359 that we we know not think that the request for this North American World Cup 322 00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:57.880 will smash that fourteen million. Well victory. Let's get back to the to 323 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:02.680 BC place for second. If you don't mind, you know that that hole 324 00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.119 in the roof isn't all that big. I'm sorry. I'm not a gardener, 325 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:08.680 a landscaper. I know a thing or two about natural gas, but 326 00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:15.720 that's another story. How does the grass grow? Yeah, listen, listen. 327 00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:21.960 What happens is our our engineering department really at FIFA, and you know, 328 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:25.079 we know that we can do it in an indoor stadium, not just 329 00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:29.559 not just not just an outdoor stadium or a stadium that is outdoor when you 330 00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:33.440 open the roof. So the technology is there, you know, in terms 331 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:40.880 of the lighting and the and the irrigation and hydroponic stuff, the legal hydroponic 332 00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:47.279 stuff and the so I think so I'm not concerned about it. We've done 333 00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:51.920 that even other World Cups, to be honest with you, and so with 334 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:53.759 the technology is there, so I'm not worried. I know the pitches will 335 00:23:53.799 --> 00:24:00.880 be in you know, grade a condition. So what happen? And again 336 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.160 I'm asking questions. Maybe some people will think they're done, but I don't 337 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.240 know the answers to them, and that's why I'm asking them. So what 338 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.519 happens to the to the grass afterwards? Does it get hauled out of there 339 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.440 and they go back to artificial turf for the Lions and white Caps? So 340 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:19.319 when? So you want me to answer that as a FIFA guy or is 341 00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:25.640 a Vancouver whatever works best? Yeah, as a FIFA guy, we're done 342 00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:30.200 and the field is left behind. And as a Vancouver guy, I would 343 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.880 hope that the powers that be do everything they can they try to keep grass 344 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.599 in there, right thank everybody would agree with you, Yeah, yeah, 345 00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:44.000 especially yeah right, So, but that's not my call and that's not our 346 00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:48.000 call. So our responsibility from a FIFA tournament perspective ends when the when the 347 00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:52.720 final whistle goals for the last game on that pitch, And what do you 348 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.720 know or from a FIFA point of view, maybe about other renovations that have 349 00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:03.640 to take place at pc place other than the field. Yeah, there's some 350 00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.079 stuff. I mean, some place is a really good shape, you know, 351 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:11.160 So there's not a lot in terms of but you know, hospitality is 352 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.279 the big one that that they need to sort of upgrade a little bit. 353 00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:22.599 There's some sort of you know, movement of how fans move from inside to 354 00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.240 outside the stadium that needs to need to flow maybe a little bit better. 355 00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.839 So there will be some work there. But above that, really there's not 356 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.960 much else. Vick're off the subject, and I know you're president of Conker 357 00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:40.440 CAF right now, but we've heard a lot of negative stories regarding Soccer Canada. 358 00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:44.440 What kind of shape is that program in right now and what's the relationship 359 00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:48.720 like with the national teams in Soccer Canada. Yeah, listen, you know, 360 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.640 I don't I know, I don't know the nitty gritty obviously as a 361 00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.039 Canadian, as a Vancouver and somebody that was a president of Canada Soccer up 362 00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:00.480 until twenty seventeen, and you know, really proud of the work that players 363 00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.799 have done and the groundwork that we laid. Listen, in the end, 364 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.440 I think I like to take a step back, and it's easy for me 365 00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.359 to do that where I sit. But you know, the country, actually, 366 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:14.759 if everybody could get around the table and figure this out, is actually 367 00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:18.640 in great shape. I mean, it's got three MLS teams with strong ownership 368 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:23.240 groups. It's got a league finally that actually has done quite well in the 369 00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:30.440 first five years. There's hopefully a women's league that's around the corner and interest 370 00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:33.519 there. The national teams obviously, we know have performed well on the pitch 371 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:38.920 and have an opportunity to do that even more this summer. And so to 372 00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:44.160 be honestly, I think everybody needs to take a deep breath, stop stop 373 00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:48.400 listening to people that really don't care about our game. And to be honest, 374 00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.279 some of that is some of your peers really don't really care, They 375 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.319 just want to. You know, I think we need to be focused and 376 00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:00.480 the mentality has to be we have to have a football first mentality or soccer 377 00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:03.599 first mentality in our sport and how we govern it. And uh, and 378 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:06.960 really just get in the get in the room, and you know, this 379 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:10.759 is a family squabble, and settle it and get on with it. Because 380 00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:18.079 I think our fans number one, are our youth number two deserve deserve it, 381 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.920 and because I think are our future is so bright with the players we 382 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:26.519 have both on our women's team and our men's team. And uh, I 383 00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:29.680 think, you know, I think it'll get resolved, and I'm hoping to 384 00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:33.680 get resolved, but I really think it's time for a little bit of a 385 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:36.519 deep breath and everybody to get in the room and stuff. You know, 386 00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:41.279 there's no need really to to to discuss matters outside the family. Uh. 387 00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:44.279 And I mean, and maybe that's just my style, but I really think 388 00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:48.000 that's what needs to happen. Victor h. We could go on and on, 389 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:49.279 and we thank you so much for this. We really appreciate it. 390 00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:53.920 We'll try to get you back on the show soon anytime. Guys. Cheers 391 00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:59.759 you bet, Thank you. President of CONKA CAP, former president of the 392 00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:03.519 Canadian Soccer Association, the World Cup is coming to Canada, coming to North 393 00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:08.599 America. Thirteen matches in Canada, seven at BC Place. I like you 394 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.039 said, the BC Place, not a ton of work needs to be done 395 00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:15.480 other than the field, Doney. So that's a good sign. It's not 396 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.279 like they're coming to BC Place and saying Okay, there's a million things to 397 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:19.680 do. It's in good shape, like you said, which is a good 398 00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:23.200 thing. Well, answering my question about that, I've wondered about the last 399 00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:27.240 couple of days about what happens with the grass, how does it grow? 400 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:33.200 You know, again I'm not a landscaper, and what happens afterwards. And 401 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.759 it'd be interesting to find out what the powers that be BC government, what 402 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.880 plans they have for that turf. Do they go to that expanse of putting 403 00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:48.799 all the putting in the natural grass and then hosting the World Cup and then 404 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.000 rip it out and put the artificial turf back in. I don't know, 405 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.039 but you know, I think for a lot of people it might be hard 406 00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.519 to take because we all want the World Cup to come here, come to 407 00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:06.519 Vancouver, absolutely to come to Canada. But sure to hear that renovations have 408 00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:11.160 to be made at BC Place, and I realized time flies. But they 409 00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.400 just did a half billion dollar renovation, not that long ago, not long 410 00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:18.960 ago in twenty eleven. So yes, interesting. Needless to say, twenty 411 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.759 twenty six World Cup right here in Vancouver. Pull question. It has to 412 00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.880 do with the Caducks.

All right, bet no I got in 419 00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:14.279 that poll question. We'll get to that in a second, but I want 420 00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:22.960 to get this in the lady's okay, Tying Langley in box, unsigned guys. 421 00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.759 FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six where the white Caps gonna play. It's 422 00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:32.160 question. So I want to remind people that Neil macavoyay's going to join. 423 00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:34.599 It's not from the white Caps from the BC Lions. We can remind me 424 00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:38.359 or you can ask him that question as well. Yeah, maybe I don't 425 00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:42.240 know if Neil Neil's been busy this week, we can ask him that question. 426 00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:47.440 Sorry for the Lions, just totally looking ahead here, won't they just 427 00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:52.359 start with a super away heavy schedule? Yeah, because their season kicks off 428 00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.799 in anyway, you know what I mean, Like they're gonna have to be 429 00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:00.319 what do we say, I don't know when? But sorry, Ryan, 430 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:06.400 but it's not just the World Cup schedule they have to worry about. It's 431 00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:11.920 before that preparations, right right, But they that like a month they want 432 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.440 they want access to the stadium a month before or something like that. But 433 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.200 that's what I mean. It would really only affect the white Caps, right 434 00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:25.079 because the Lions preseason openers early June. I mean, maybe know something, 435 00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:26.559 but they still I mean, let's be honest, though, it's not like, 436 00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:30.720 you know, the World Cup ends in the next day the building is 437 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.680 available. It's probably another month after that, so that's like three months the 438 00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.119 Lions. I asked, what are they going to do with the turf? 439 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.240 Well, I mean the white Caps are playing tonight on the Island in Langford 440 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:48.240 at Starlight Stadium. You wonder, I mean you wonder if that's what they're 441 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.960 gonna have to do or do they play it like you know, Swanguard doesn't 442 00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.680 have the facility, you know, do they rebuild Empire? Yeah, the 443 00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.519 temporary you know what I mean? Like that's a big for sure, because 444 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.519 they can't do that. Now there's there's there's there's a park there now Yeah, 445 00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.880 right, No, isn't there still Isn't there still on this field? 446 00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:14.440 Anything's possible with cash. Yeah, that is interesting though, because I never 447 00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:16.920 thought about that the MLS will shut down during the World Cup. But you 448 00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:22.480 think we would have done more research going into that interview with Victor. It's 449 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.880 also probably outday hiss. I mean, FIFA doesn't care no like he says, 450 00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:30.440 he is a defa guy, Pecaff guy and a Vancouver guy.

Our bet ninety nine dote net poll question, what 456 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:53.680 was more impressive about the Cannucks victory last night? Lindholms two goals or the 457 00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:59.279 gritty way they won eight hundred and fifty eight votes, but close first one 458 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:02.680 we've had in a while. Fifty nine percent say the way they won gritty, 459 00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:10.880 and then forty percent say it was lindholm tepid response to the lukewarm response 460 00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:16.759 to the to the pole question right a poll question about we had to shoot 461 00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:21.079 it down. Yeah, Dolly. One wanted to ask Ido. No one 462 00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:23.799 wanted to ask the Canucks be interested field Kessel to start up. Then you 463 00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:28.079 started the show when Taylor asked me about it by saying they got no interest. 464 00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:30.359 That's a good poll guy. Last time I checked, they had no 465 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:35.160 interest in Kessel. They had interest in Kessel in the summer. They talked 466 00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:37.279 to his asient. Good guy. A wait or not, it's not the 467 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.680 summer Toronto and Newport and all this stuff before. Okay, I'm telling you 468 00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:44.880 right now, Okay, anyways, he hasn't played in ten months, Kessel. 469 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:47.160 You just want to inshurt him in the lineup. Well, get it 470 00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:50.680 now, the proof? Why are we asking the pole question? Then, 471 00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:55.599 anyways, move on, okay, little little look behind the side look. 472 00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:04.200 Yeah, as impressive as his two goals were. Linnholm leading all forwards a 473 00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:08.880 nice time over twenty one minutes out late, taking important face offs late. 474 00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:12.840 Yeah, just the way they want. I know they gave up twelve shots 475 00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.599 in the third period, but a lot of people are pointing out and the 476 00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:20.480 Landy's okay, tiring Langley inbox. Like the game. After game, we 477 00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:23.320 talk about things like, well, this new guy got to got two goals, 478 00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:27.519 and what about the way they buckled down in that third pick? What 479 00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:30.960 about dimco oh like I again and Rick talk Ha talked about it after the 480 00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:36.840 game. Is once again he played a big, big role. I think 481 00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:39.639 we're at a point now where Knuck fans are taking in for granted, and 482 00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:44.320 I think that's just natural. I'm not criticizing anybody. We're the same way. 483 00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:46.679 But y'all, you list off these things that were positive last night, 484 00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:51.320 don't forget about thirty five. Okay, that was his ninth straight win, 485 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:57.840 ties the franchise record with Donty dank Clucci. Dank Clucci. So thirteen to 486 00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:00.000 three, the Canucks roadshot in the third and and they get the winner from 487 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.079 Miller. And but you know what, Dempko was huge in the third period. 488 00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:07.519 One of the other impressive things last night done. I always check at 489 00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:10.599 the halfway point of the game. Cannucks had only given up seven shots on 490 00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:15.000 goal halfway through the game. That's pretty damn impressive. They only gave up 491 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:17.079 twelve after the first period. Yeah, obviously the Canes came on in the 492 00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:22.039 third. But the way they're cutting down the shots, they're cutting down the 493 00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:27.199 goals against this year totally twenty four to seven different from last year.

Last thing in Carolina felt pretty 536 00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:36.119 good. Uh, you know, obviously kind of nervous before the game, 537 00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:39.639 a lot of new things and you know, but you know, I felt 538 00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:44.199 pretty good. I thought that we played pretty good. And obviously it was 539 00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:46.559 was a tight game, playoff light game. They're a good team. We're 540 00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:49.840 a good team, so uh, not a lot of room out there, 541 00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.199 but we stuck with it and and got two points. That all the matters. 542 00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:55.000 The first period you score on the power play to tie it up. 543 00:38:55.039 --> 00:39:00.199 Can you describe your emotions after that one? No, it was always a 544 00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:02.639 little relief, you know, obviously playing when uh, there's a lot of 545 00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:07.440 good players on this team and and you know, you know where we play 546 00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:12.039 well today and and obviously it was a nice, nice shop by hug you 547 00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:14.039 there and then obviously got a piece of it. So it was nice to 548 00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:20.960 see going just I had a big ride. The quitter guy unsigned to Lanny's 549 00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:27.519 okay, tarrying Langley inbox, guys, what if Elias Petterson, the d 550 00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:35.440 man from Sweden pronounces his first name differently from Elias Petterson and Elias Lindhill. 551 00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:39.159 You guys would be in big trouble with that.

Yeah, not that, but yeah, what if Patrick 554 00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:55.400 eli Ash comes out of retirement plays for the maybe of Cassel, New Jersey 555 00:39:55.480 --> 00:40:00.639 Devil. Yeah, maybe I would say one of those underrated players National Hockey 556 00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:04.000 leagu kiss. I agree, Stanley cups but he was good, but nobody 557 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:06.360 talks about him. But it's because of the team he played for, the 558 00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:12.159 food Numbers. Yeah, exactly. I think they were so boring that the 559 00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:15.440 Devils, who have a pretty sexy team right now. It's a carryover there, 560 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:19.159 you know they haven't been like that for a while. Yes, but 561 00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:25.320 they have a sting. Yeah, definitely, it goes way back big. 562 00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:30.360 I don't know why that's funny. Well, Lamarire coached them. I know 563 00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:37.840 that JA coached them. Absolutely Didn'tlarry Robinson when one with them, Larry replaced 564 00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:43.760 Robbie Fortrek robb sweater guy. Sweater guy.

Now hey it's kind of a pullover. Yeah, like some nights 567 00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:55.239 he's dressed up and then other nights he looks way too bundled up. It 568 00:40:55.360 --> 00:41:00.599 must be warm. Yes, there's because there's times that he there's like think 569 00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:04.599 it's three or four later. There's times he's got like the suit sweater car 570 00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:10.079 which like old man, but he's not that old, you know. Next 571 00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:16.760 up, a shawl for Torque had the nice sweaters though they were really back 572 00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:21.679 to him. Yeah, and it was okay. I can remember a coach 573 00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:25.000 for the New York Rangers, former Habs defenseman named John Gek Talbot, and 574 00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:30.000 he wore a track suit. You can look it up. Yes, behind 575 00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:32.320 the bench there was a guy who would have picked the word like something a 576 00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:38.800 soccer coach, coach. The the the NHL is one of the few leagues 577 00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:44.440 now that the suit. Yeah that NFL guys. The CFL guy used to 578 00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:46.960 wear suits. Yeah, but the NFL.

You wonder how long like baseball is 581 00:41:55.039 --> 00:42:00.639 gonna go with the manager where the uniform, right, because I mean they're 582 00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:02.760 older, so many of them now wear hoodies over top or whatever. Like 583 00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:06.960 it's not really it's not the same.

Brent Musburger was on with Dan Patrick this morning. It was 599 00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:12.559 amazing. Yeah, like, oh, just he's talking about up with him? 600 00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:15.400 He was, he was He's talking about Jimmy the Greek and gambling back 601 00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:21.159 in the day and Phil, Oh my god, fantastic look that interview up. 602 00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:27.039 It's really well done. Cross. Who is he? Earth Cross was 603 00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:32.199 one of the first black analysts on national television. He was so good and 604 00:43:32.239 --> 00:43:36.400 he was in on that panel with It was way ahead of its time. 605 00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:39.559 I don't think it's a enough credit with Musburger, Phyllis George and Jimmy the 606 00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:44.360 Greek. Interesting when they did the thirty for thirty on Jimmy the Greek, 607 00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:47.639 Yeah, talk about ahead of its time, gosh, gambling and everything kid, 608 00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:52.559 Yeah, right, absolutely. Uh. I don't see a lot of 609 00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:58.239 people named Jimmy the Greek on NFL compony sports panels. Actually, you know 610 00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:01.760 what you kind of do in between what you see in the studio, Yeah, 611 00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:06.719 all the ads, yeah, round about way. But so Super Bowl, 612 00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:08.360 everyone knows about the game. Of course, the other thing that comes 613 00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:13.360 along with the Super Bowl is commercials. Here look at this. The price 614 00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:19.480 of Super Bowl thirty second ad for this year's Super Bowl guys seven million dollars, 615 00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:23.639 the first of all with sixty sixty seconds would be triple fourteen million? 616 00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:27.119 Triple? What do you mean? It could be? Would be higher? 617 00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:29.599 Dis some goal like that, Ryan, it would be. I've seen some 618 00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:31.679 crazy numbers for sixty seconds. You double thirty? What do you mean? 619 00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:35.840 I'm gonna google it. I'm gonna check, but I think it's more than 620 00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:40.119 pullet. I'm telling you it's higher. Is it? Maybe it is? 621 00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:45.079 Maybe I have I've seen my take it. If you double that, it's 622 00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:46.800 fourteen million. Eh No, No, I'm going to look into this. 623 00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:51.880 I think it's higher. But anyways, we go google finish finish The first 624 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:54.639 second, first time it was tracked for Super Bowl ads was nineteen sixty seven 625 00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:59.480 forty two, five hundred dollars even that I know, no kidding. So 626 00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:00.880 this tweet for them, were getting that? Are we getting that for an 627 00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:05.599 ad? Yes? It's no, it's going to the dolleyballs math at twenty 628 00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:08.840 one million. So this is from front Front Office Sports. You can see 629 00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:12.719 they kind of go by five year increments basically is where things go. But 630 00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:15.880 let me look at the difference between twenty fifteen and twenty twenty two. Twenty 631 00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:19.000 fifteen it was four point twenty five million dollars, then to jump to six 632 00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:22.119 point five in twenty twenty two. It's kind of going up. And by 633 00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:25.199 the way, this is a great scoop right honestly with CBS that an AD 634 00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:29.920 in twenty twenty four costs more than nineteen what's the big deal here? Is 635 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:34.159 not gone up kind of rapidly here, it's you're right when you look at 636 00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:37.400 the bottom half of it. Yeah, I mean it's gone up. This 637 00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:42.280 one of the CBS president's media execs whatever he said. They are officially sold 638 00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:45.719 out both for their regular CBS with that in your Pipe and smoke and the 639 00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:50.960 Nickelodeon broadcast is well that they're doing aside from the regular broadcast, it's completely 640 00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:54.960 sold out as well. So no, no, no issues for the CBS 641 00:45:55.079 --> 00:45:59.480 running the Super Bowl this year. Speaking of the Super Bowl, how about 642 00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:01.440 this, I got this. We talk a lot about Taylor Swift. Okay, 643 00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:07.480 so pol was done. This is from Seaton Hall Sports. They did 644 00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:09.239 this. Okay, this is from Darrenravelle, he took it from them, 645 00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:14.679 asked if they thought the presence of Taylor Swift had anything to do with their 646 00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:19.199 decision or the decision of anyone in their household to watch the Super Bowl. 647 00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:22.400 So are you gonna watch it or not? Twenty one percent of Americans said 648 00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:28.360 yes, the factor of Taylor Swift is the reason for why they're going to 649 00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:30.840 watch the Super Bowl. That is crazy to me that you're gonna watch a 650 00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:36.840 three three and a half hour, four hour event just for the shot or 651 00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:39.480 for the chance they're gonna show her for ten seconds in between playing. But 652 00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:43.960 Ryan, if you're a Swift d and there are millions of them around the 653 00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:49.800 world, there's all this talk about Travis Kelcey going down on one knee after 654 00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:53.519 the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. Indeed they do proposing to Taylor Swift. 655 00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:58.519 And if you're a Swifty or even if you're not as of interesting to a 656 00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:02.119 lot of people, but then watch the ending. Yeah. But Travis was 657 00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:06.599 asking, if here's somebody who's interested in Taylor Swift, you're probably also interested 658 00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:09.840 in Usher at halftime. Yeah, they know what they're doing. Travis was 659 00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:13.559 asked yesterday, by the way who's going to get a ring first, Taylor 660 00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:17.400 Swift or the Niners. Mmmm. He answered with by saying, I plan 661 00:47:17.480 --> 00:47:22.719 on getting a ring on Sunday. So he kind of took the out there. 662 00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:25.679 Maybe she'll ask him, she'll ask him. I will be stunned if 663 00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:29.920 he proposes on Sunday. They've been together, what five months? How if 664 00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:31.840 he loses? How about if he loses. He's not proposing after a loss. 665 00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:37.480 Yeah, maybe that would be surprising. Yeah, exactly, he's crying 666 00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:39.159 because they I know, we just lost, but it's all about me and 667 00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:42.800 Taylor. Yeah, yeah, exactly, he's not doing that if they lose. 668 00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:45.320 I don't see what do you keep the ring? Well, you probably 669 00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:50.079 give it to like a you know staff I'm trying to do. You imagine 670 00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:52.519 he pulls it under his dirty sweaty cleat. You want this, honey? 671 00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:58.119 Yeah, going to marry me. And she's coming over from Tokyo, of 672 00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:00.960 course, for the big event on Sunday. She's coming to give over to 673 00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:06.360 your place from Japan Vegas. And if there's a flight delay, she might 674 00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:09.039 not make she might not make it.

The CFL Free agency period opens February thirteenth, 690 00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:24.000 that's next Tuesday. But man, all these teams have been busy. That 691 00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:32.119 includes the Lions, who yesterday signed former Montreal running back Williams stand Back and 692 00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:36.679 Neil McAvoy joins us. Now you also extended Ben Holladdock. We'll talk about 693 00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:38.199 him and in a second Neil. But how are you, sir? Busy? 694 00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:43.280 Yeah, busy time of year. I'm always happy to come on and 695 00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:47.239 talk three down football though, especially in this week. Yeah, as we 696 00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:51.039 get shattled, but I'll tell you what, let's let's do it. Well, 697 00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:52.760 I said earlier in the show, I think your league is doing a 698 00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:58.639 fabulous job as staying in the news this week, which always hasn't always been 699 00:49:58.679 --> 00:50:00.880 the case. But William stand Back, what's he going to do for your 700 00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:05.440 your football club? Well, you know what he can add. He's a 701 00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:07.920 little bit more powerful. He's a you know, a guy that breaks maybe 702 00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:14.079 more tackles than some backs in our league. So he's gonna put a lot 703 00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:16.880 of pressure on defenses. He's gonna make our offensive line look better than you 704 00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:21.280 know, maybe what they get criticized too much, our offensive line, But 705 00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:23.960 it takes one one running back to you know, make a couple of plays 706 00:50:23.960 --> 00:50:27.800 and all of a sudden, the offensive line is pretty good. So we 707 00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:31.360 saw that with you know, guys like Vernon and the previous quarterbacks getting the 708 00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:35.519 ball out of his hands quick and then all of a sudden, the offensive 709 00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:37.320 line is good as well. So I think a guy like will is going 710 00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.159 to bring just a little bit more stability, a little bit more power, 711 00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:45.360 and that's going to open up the running game, which will in turn help 712 00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:46.800 us in the passing game, because at the end of the day, we 713 00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:52.000 are a passing team under the Dome and we're happy to be that. William 714 00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:57.159 standback former Alanuette, just like Vernon Adams. I believe they're friends. Did 715 00:50:57.239 --> 00:51:00.119 he help you out with this, Neil Vernon? Yeah? Absolutely. I 716 00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:04.320 mean Vernon has has has been helping us out with a lot of players, 717 00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:09.599 and obviously will was a guy that he felt would bring some good dynamic to 718 00:51:09.719 --> 00:51:13.639 our locker room. And that's the thing with our football team. We are 719 00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:16.000 a tight knit group. We are a family, and so not everyone's going 720 00:51:16.039 --> 00:51:20.679 to be able to come in and just fit in. So, you know, 721 00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:23.639 playing is one thing, fitting into the environment is another. You've got 722 00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:27.400 to be You got to be both before you come here. So we were 723 00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:30.800 happy to get Will and he's he's that guy, and Neil, the big 724 00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:34.840 one for me is Matthew Betts led the CFL eighteen sacks last year, top 725 00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:39.320 defensive player in the CFL. Are you still in the mix to get Matthew? 726 00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:43.760 Are you still in the mix? Okay? Absolutely, Yeah, we're 727 00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:47.519 we're continuing to talk again. This free agent period, you know, doesn't 728 00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:52.960 start till next week. Now's the tampering period, so you know, we're 729 00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:59.039 we're continuing to have phone conversations with him and his representation and you know, 730 00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:02.400 we're we're hoping to get something done. But is that simply going to be 731 00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:06.920 money, Neil? I mean, he's demanding a lot. He's coming off 732 00:52:06.920 --> 00:52:09.400 one of the best years as a defensive lineman in the Canadian Football League. 733 00:52:09.679 --> 00:52:14.480 Is it a number you can get to? I hope. So, I 734 00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:20.519 mean, there's a lot of things going in this negotiation process. There's opportunities 735 00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:23.960 elsewhere, there's opportunities in other leagues, there's there's opportunities for him, and 736 00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:28.199 we're trying to wade through all that. But at the end of the day, 737 00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:30.239 we like him. He's a good football player and we're hoping to keep 738 00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:35.280 him as a BC line for the future. All right, you had you're 739 00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:38.440 looking for a backup quarterback as well. How's that hunt going? Same thing. 740 00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:43.079 I mean, we're talking to a bunch of guys that you know, 741 00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:45.360 need to fit into not only, as I said earlier, the group, 742 00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:50.719 but alviously the offensive scheme that we have. So we've had our offensive coaches 743 00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:52.079 talk to a few guys, We've had our head coach talk to a few 744 00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:57.480 guys. So we're trying to weed that position down to the one that's going 745 00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:00.000 to fit us best, and we're just continuing to do that. You also 746 00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:07.559 extended We talked about this earlier linebacker Ben hilladic UBC from vernon this stat It 747 00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:12.159 surprised me. This is really impressive first Canadian and team history. This was 748 00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:15.000 last year to record one hundred defensive tackles. What does he mean to your 749 00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:20.159 team? Yeah, a guy that you know, a draft pick that you 750 00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:23.159 know, we were really really excited to extend, a guy that you know, 751 00:53:23.320 --> 00:53:29.280 sometimes those guys get left behind. But being a local guy too, 752 00:53:29.320 --> 00:53:31.480 played you know, high school football and British Columbia from Burtis, Columbia. 753 00:53:31.519 --> 00:53:36.880 Like he bits, he's a bzy line So we were excited to, you 754 00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:40.320 know, retain his services. And I think again, another guy that brings 755 00:53:40.360 --> 00:53:44.800 a lot to the table and maybe an unsung hero. It's not vocal a 756 00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:47.639 lot, but certainly a guy that plays hard football and you know, guys 757 00:53:47.639 --> 00:53:52.840 that we'd like to keep around. Get back to the days of territorial protections, 758 00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:59.519 you know, and SFU and UBC guys playing for the Lions. I 759 00:53:59.519 --> 00:54:01.599 think it well, it helped a whole lot in terms of make the draft, 760 00:54:01.840 --> 00:54:06.119 make the draft process much easier. I totally agree that a great Hey, 761 00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:08.920 we we talked. We had Victor Mattagliani from Conker calf On, Neil 762 00:54:09.239 --> 00:54:14.719 just stay stay with me here for a second twenty twenty six World Cup BC 763 00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:17.679 place. There's going to be seven World Cup matches there. They're going to 764 00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:22.360 rip the turf out, put in natural grass or is refer to it natural 765 00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:27.400 gas for twenty twenty six. Have you thought, I know you're busy this 766 00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:30.400 week. Have you thought that far ahead? Are there any plans in place 767 00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:34.960 for that? Do you know what's going on? We've had internal internal discussions 768 00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:37.920 on how that's going to look. I know we've we've talked about it. 769 00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:42.320 I just don't know where that's at. That's still a few years away. 770 00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:46.679 But as a as a Vancouver right, what a great opportunity for us at 771 00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:52.440 the City of Vancouver to you know, watch some international football or soccer as 772 00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:57.000 they call it. So yeah, we will have a plan. I just 773 00:54:57.440 --> 00:55:00.719 you know, we're not there yet. Yeah, I don't know yet to 774 00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:04.920 divulge, but certainly something that we've thought about and worked about. But again, 775 00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:08.199 as an organization, we're excited about accepting that big you know, FIFA 776 00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:12.159 World Cup. You know, talk about five, ten, fifteen, twenty 777 00:55:12.239 --> 00:55:14.960 years ago, that that hype dream and now all of a sudden, guess 778 00:55:14.960 --> 00:55:17.760 what it's going to be in our backyard. So that's pretty cool. Yeah, 779 00:55:17.800 --> 00:55:21.679 you've got a season ahead of you and a great cup to host. 780 00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:24.519 The other thing, Neil, that has happened in the last week or so, 781 00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:30.679 unfortunately, Carl Weather's former BC lion passes away. I know he was 782 00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:34.440 up here fairly recently, Hollywood Star. Did you have a chance to meet 783 00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:37.400 him at all? Just in passing, like shook his hand and he told 784 00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:39.639 him I have his card, Like, I mean, I've I've been a 785 00:55:39.679 --> 00:55:44.679 collector of sports cards and a guy that you know, obviously is in Hollywood, 786 00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:46.360 and not a lot of people knew that he's a BC lion. And 787 00:55:46.440 --> 00:55:50.639 do you know what a proud BC lion? Not just a guy that you 788 00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:53.519 know he wore the orange on his sleeve. When they talked football, everyone 789 00:55:53.519 --> 00:55:58.320 wanted to talk Raiders. But he actually played a lot of games as a 790 00:55:58.360 --> 00:56:00.960 BC lion and was a proud BC and came back and so yeah, sad, 791 00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:05.679 sad, you know, reality, a Hollywood star guy that meant a 792 00:56:05.719 --> 00:56:08.480 lot to all of us, but especially the BC lines because he was one 793 00:56:08.480 --> 00:56:14.360 of our alumni that we were quite proud of. Hey, Neil, Great 794 00:56:14.360 --> 00:56:17.920 Cup here this year? Last year, thirty thousand plus in the playoff game. 795 00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:22.400 You're building momentum. You got the Great Cup season tickets? How are 796 00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:27.880 they shelling? How excited are you about the Great Cup in Vancouver this coming 797 00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:30.920 season? Pretty excited? I can't tell. I mean, Great Cup in 798 00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:36.519 itself is an exciting event. Okay, let's we're talking Great Cup with FIFA 799 00:56:36.599 --> 00:56:37.719 World Cup, So there you go. That's what tells you what it is. 800 00:56:38.360 --> 00:56:42.519 It's a great event. It's going to be in Vancouver, but wherever 801 00:56:42.559 --> 00:56:44.840 it is, it's always good, but it's always special. When it's in 802 00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:47.920 Vancouver, so our fans are excited, We're excited to put it together. 803 00:56:49.320 --> 00:56:51.639 We've got a game in Victoria. We got a lot of things going on 804 00:56:51.760 --> 00:56:54.079 in this organization. So things are happening, Things are going good, and 805 00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:58.639 the fans are getting excited about the team on the field too. So it's 806 00:56:58.639 --> 00:57:01.719 going to be an exciting year for your BC Lions, for for not only 807 00:57:01.800 --> 00:57:06.159 this year but the future. Any pressure, and Neil, with the Great 808 00:57:06.159 --> 00:57:10.119 Cup at home, I mean I always ask that question. There's no pressure, 809 00:57:10.199 --> 00:57:14.440 just like you getting up tomorrow or this morning. Pressure. It's always 810 00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:19.400 pressure. Clearly, it's a question. It's a question. It's a valid 811 00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:22.639 question, Neil. Wherever the Great Cup is, there's pressure. Wherever you're 812 00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:25.880 you know, you have a football team that's competing for the Great Cup. 813 00:57:27.159 --> 00:57:30.079 It just turns out that the Great Cup is going to be in Vancouver this 814 00:57:30.159 --> 00:57:32.679 year, and lucky enough that when we're in it and our fans are cheering 815 00:57:32.760 --> 00:57:37.239 us on, it's going to be quite special for all of us. Congrats 816 00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:39.480 on the signings, Neil, and thanks for doing this.

We don't know who Amara is bringing in for 827 00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:27.119 the season opening acts. Yeah, but I mean Taylor Smith's coming, She's 828 00:58:27.159 --> 00:58:30.280 already coming in December, right right, So I mean it won't be hers. 829 00:58:31.400 --> 00:58:37.159 Stone's are already coming. Billy Joel maybe, Billy Idle maybe. Oh, 830 00:58:37.239 --> 00:58:40.639 we could only hope June fifteenth, Saturday, June fifteenth against Calgary that's 831 00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:45.000 their home opener. Okay. We mentioned Carl Weathers here and a lot of 832 00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:50.920 people have sent me, have sent this show this ad from back in the 833 00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:53.079 seventies, and like Neil was just talking about, I think a lot of 834 00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:58.719 people in this market didn't realize that Carl Weather's played three years. I believe 835 00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:01.639 it was three years with the Allions in the in the seventies as a linebacker 836 00:59:04.239 --> 00:59:09.079 after a stint with the Oakland Raiders, said then, and he made an 837 00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:14.440 impact in the city. This is an ad from the Bay Wow from back 838 00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:17.280 in the day. Karl Weather's the Beast Allions is one seventies. Seventies yep, 839 00:59:17.360 --> 00:59:22.719 that's why he's backing the ultra smart line of May to measure suits at 840 00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:24.760 the base, so you buy it. Look at this handsome guy and like 841 00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:27.880 I said, I met him as a kid. He was so nice. 842 00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:30.360 I was just an awe of him. Made to measure suit. So he 843 00:59:30.440 --> 00:59:35.880 got a tailor working on that thing and beautiful one and twenty nine. But 844 00:59:36.039 --> 00:59:38.079 you can't get a shirt for one hundred and twenty nine now, Donnie, 845 00:59:38.119 --> 00:59:43.960 No, you're not wrong. But he he made an impact up here and 846 00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:46.880 he I saw him on YOUTA, saw a clip of him on YouTube. 847 00:59:46.880 --> 00:59:50.760 He came up here a few years ago to talk about his time with the 848 00:59:50.760 --> 00:59:55.760 Beast Allons. And we remember him as Apollo creator, just a predatorreitor. 849 00:59:57.079 --> 01:00:00.760 Everything with Arnold. He was so good in the movies, the bottom line 850 01:00:00.800 --> 01:00:04.719 of the ad, in the in the in the smaller preps. If you're 851 01:00:04.760 --> 01:00:07.519 still not certain, ask Carl Weathers, but please ask him nicely. Is 852 01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:13.559 that nice? Yeah? Yeah, I wasn't that smart?

Yah. 901 01:03:52.960 --> 01:03:58.760 Even I and my age know what it is because I have a couple 902 01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:01.719 of boys doing that all the time as they eat everything in the fridge. 903 01:04:02.639 --> 01:04:05.440 Okay, let's run this from last night. I thought it was It was 904 01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:11.320 kind of special because there's so many people we talked about it earlier. Obsessed 905 01:04:11.320 --> 01:04:15.559 with, not obsessed with, but pulling for Andre Kuzmenko. He scores four 906 01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:20.159 minutes into his uh Flames debut power play goal and the Flames defeat the Boston 907 01:04:20.199 --> 01:04:25.199 Bruins. Uh for one. This is just a taste of what and he's 908 01:04:25.280 --> 01:04:28.400 just so likable, such a character. This is a taste of what Andre 909 01:04:28.679 --> 01:04:44.239 was up to after that Flames debut. Boy, thanks, way to start 910 01:04:44.239 --> 01:04:55.000 your world? Tips? Is he good waiting to beginning? Thanks? Go 911 01:04:55.119 --> 01:05:01.039 to the playoffs? Good? I I guess, of course, I say 912 01:05:01.119 --> 01:05:08.159 before season I have won't play to playoffs. Hi, tray is every game 913 01:05:08.519 --> 01:05:11.920 is a little step step step Today is it's a difficult game for me? 914 01:05:16.719 --> 01:05:23.400 Yes? Oh, he's just got a He's done. More interviews with There's 915 01:05:23.440 --> 01:05:27.199 a charisma about him that very few athletes have. He's done more interviews with 916 01:05:27.239 --> 01:05:30.280 the Flames, I think than in his entire time with the with the Canucks. 917 01:05:30.360 --> 01:05:33.000 Yeah, and he's just you can see why people cheer for him. 918 01:05:33.000 --> 01:05:38.400 They like him. Well, the personality is great. The comments on Twitter 919 01:05:38.559 --> 01:05:42.280 and on message boards, this guy is unreal. Just this love is a 920 01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:46.920 personality Twitter, Johnny, the Flames fans were going nuts on Twitter. They 921 01:05:46.960 --> 01:05:50.400 love this guy. Just smile to laugh all that stuff. And we got 922 01:05:50.400 --> 01:05:58.159 this Frank Curvelli tweet Byny Chance Ryan because after years and years and years, 923 01:05:58.760 --> 01:06:03.480 it it looks like that the NHL may be moving out of the Phoenix area 924 01:06:03.519 --> 01:06:09.400 about time. And this this came from Frank Savelli. Rick. Yeah, 925 01:06:09.440 --> 01:06:12.599 so Gary Bettman said he's gonna have an announcement on the Coyotes future in a 926 01:06:12.639 --> 01:06:15.800 few weeks. Sources say it could come as early as this weekend. One 927 01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:17.800 of the options on the table, Donnie, Okay, the three are clear, 928 01:06:18.320 --> 01:06:21.599 you know, find a new place to build a new rink, or 929 01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:26.920 they got to leave done at bottom line that two of the one so this 930 01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:30.239 is from Frank's article yesterday. The third is now basically been eliminated. The 931 01:06:30.320 --> 01:06:35.320 third was that finding owner owner and Matt all find another owner Matt Ishpia, 932 01:06:35.440 --> 01:06:41.400 who owns the Suns. He Wills basically said he's not interested in the coyotes, 933 01:06:41.440 --> 01:06:44.480 so and they were recording him. Yeah, So it comes down to 934 01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:49.119 move the salt Lake or build an arena. Since this article by Frank Sarelli, 935 01:06:49.159 --> 01:06:54.679 by the way, Friedman said on Merrick This Morning that there is significant 936 01:06:54.719 --> 01:06:59.320 smoke that an announcer might come this weekend. You wonder, with it being 937 01:06:59.440 --> 01:07:02.960 Super Bowl weekend, does the NHL try and sneaky By the way, we're 938 01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:06.199 moving a franchise, we're gonna we're gonna rip a franchise out of and there's 939 01:07:06.199 --> 01:07:10.679 a football game going on in Vegas. Yeah yeah, like now now, 940 01:07:10.800 --> 01:07:14.280 I mean the legal team. That is a bad news. I was gonna 941 01:07:14.280 --> 01:07:16.159 say, would you consider I don't negative news. I don't think so, 942 01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:19.920 but I mean it's a black it is a black eye. You move, 943 01:07:20.239 --> 01:07:24.960 you move a team. NFL whold on a sec that the Super bowls in 944 01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:28.599 Vegas a team just moved there, absolutely well, and a baseball team might 945 01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:31.239 be moving their share. Yeah, no, absolutely, No team in any 946 01:07:31.320 --> 01:07:35.440 sport has had a million chances like the Coyotes. And the reason Bettman is 947 01:07:35.480 --> 01:07:41.039 so stubborn on this is because it's the fourth largest TV market in the USA 948 01:07:41.079 --> 01:07:43.719 and he does want to leave that. How many years was the NFL not 949 01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:46.639 in a fairly big market in Los Angeles and everything worked out just fine? 950 01:07:46.719 --> 01:07:50.159 That's true, Marty Walsh. I don't know if you guys saw Marty Walsh 951 01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:56.760 blasted this lastation over the weekend. He must know something. Well, yeah, 952 01:07:56.840 --> 01:08:00.000 you wonder, but he he because the problem hitting the state. There's 953 01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:02.960 just no like gathering Mallet Arena, which looks bad. I'm sorry, it 954 01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:06.920 looks rinky dink. I'd love to see a game live, a NHL game, 955 01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:10.280 but it's in a five thousand seed arena. I'd love it, but 956 01:08:10.320 --> 01:08:14.760 it's not the way to go. And there's no plan to leave that. 957 01:08:14.920 --> 01:08:16.640 Now. Now you've moved there, when are you getting out of it? 958 01:08:16.920 --> 01:08:20.119 And that's what Marty Watsher's whole point was. It's like, what's going on 959 01:08:20.199 --> 01:08:26.039 here? Nobody in Arizona's fighting to keep it. There's no city councils, 960 01:08:26.119 --> 01:08:30.800 there's no no government, there's no nothing, No one's there's no sixty thousand 961 01:08:30.880 --> 01:08:32.800 people at a rally to keep them. There's everybody you're saying, hey, 962 01:08:32.840 --> 01:08:36.079 if you guys want to walk walk, been there, done now with a 963 01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:39.880 new arena too, and I loved I don't know if you guys have been 964 01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:45.159 to the Glendale. I've been to and I loved it. It was great. 965 01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:48.439 Like it's a ways out. I only saw games during week the weekends. 966 01:08:48.720 --> 01:08:51.640 I didn't see it during the week when people are working and there's there, 967 01:08:51.680 --> 01:08:57.359 there's traffic. It's it is a ways out. But this setup there 968 01:08:57.439 --> 01:09:00.479 is really good. It's right where the Cardinals play. Yes, is different. 969 01:09:00.520 --> 01:09:03.239 You only have to worry about nine ten dates a year. But the 970 01:09:03.520 --> 01:09:08.279 setup there in terms of shopping and restaurants is really really nice. The parking 971 01:09:08.399 --> 01:09:12.319 was free, as I recall, but nobody was there well the games that 972 01:09:12.399 --> 01:09:16.279 I saw Pittsburgh vank Way More Road Team fence Way More. Yeah, you're 973 01:09:16.319 --> 01:09:21.760 talking as a Canadian tourist, right if you're like, let the NHL is 974 01:09:21.760 --> 01:09:29.000 how many uh uh steps down the ladder here for people in Arizona, like 975 01:09:29.119 --> 01:09:30.960 Rick says, I mean, look at they had a referendum on a building 976 01:09:31.000 --> 01:09:34.920 and they basically went to see you later. Nobody fought for it. I 977 01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:39.279 mean, it's just, Donny, it's a market that's not working for hockey. 978 01:09:39.279 --> 01:09:44.399 It's just not yeah to two plus decades, no, do that work? 979 01:09:44.600 --> 01:09:46.680 Move on. Salt Lake does have that hockey history, They've got an 980 01:09:46.680 --> 01:09:51.479 owner who really wants them. It just it just seems like a no brainer. 981 01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:56.039 Plus, you know, I know the NBA is there, but the 982 01:09:56.199 --> 01:10:01.039 NHL has done a great job in moving into markets where like Vegas, like 983 01:10:01.239 --> 01:10:08.119 San Josano's near San Francisco where you know, they were in Nashville too before, 984 01:10:08.680 --> 01:10:12.199 Yeah, before the Titans were there where they're the big daddy, and 985 01:10:12.279 --> 01:10:14.800 then maybe that changes over time, but at least they get a head start 986 01:10:14.840 --> 01:10:17.800 and everybody and that would be similar. Again, I know, the NBA's 987 01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:25.119 there. Business. Yeah, look at this.

Quit Some Communications dot ca A connecting 1072 01:17:43.720 --> 01:17:46.439 people through technology. Rick, all right, here we go. I'm still 1073 01:17:46.439 --> 01:17:50.760 worried about Peterson. Another puck giveaway in the offensive zone resulting in a goal 1074 01:17:50.760 --> 01:17:56.199 against. The last several games, he's looked slowly disinterested. Don Die from 1075 01:17:56.279 --> 01:18:00.039 Nanaimo. We've had a lot of submissions like this. There was the turnover 1076 01:18:00.680 --> 01:18:05.119 on the power play for the first Caroline is he is he hurt it all? 1077 01:18:05.319 --> 01:18:09.840 Oh God, we see the tape on their wrist. No, no, 1078 01:18:09.760 --> 01:18:12.880 no, you know he just took part in an all star game. 1079 01:18:12.960 --> 01:18:15.960 You just said nine days off from just asking. No, I think he's 1080 01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:18.159 fine. Adam the former bath guy is just me. But with the Super 1081 01:18:18.159 --> 01:18:21.960 Bowl being in Vegas, you guys should play the Dolly Wall in Vegas clip 1082 01:18:23.079 --> 01:18:25.399 just once, give the people what they want. And Ryan, you have 1083 01:18:25.399 --> 01:18:31.199 an update on that. I believe later in the week your Michael. I 1084 01:18:31.239 --> 01:18:33.479 was about to hit play, but we will save it first. Yeah, 1085 01:18:33.479 --> 01:18:38.079 we'll save it. We'll play later later in the week because it's pretty lengthy, 1086 01:18:38.159 --> 01:18:42.199 right. I believe it's because the whole thing matched together is one fifteen 1087 01:18:43.079 --> 01:18:45.319 minute fifteen because there was a lot of different moments in that morning that we're 1088 01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:48.039 put together. Ck, what do you got? All right? Typical Donnie 1089 01:18:48.079 --> 01:18:51.159 hates on the players when they played for the Canucks. Once they leave, 1090 01:18:51.239 --> 01:18:55.800 he loves them. Examples O yell because Mango Mike from Terris bang On, 1091 01:18:56.520 --> 01:18:59.960 Thank you Mike. Yeah, but I was, I've been complimentary of Tyl 1092 01:19:00.279 --> 01:19:04.039 Myers, right, Yeah, that's true. Loved what they've done with they've 1093 01:19:04.039 --> 01:19:08.319 acquired Elias Linnholm. No. Yeah, JT. Miller, by the way, 1094 01:19:08.640 --> 01:19:11.960 I think he's almost dem coish and that I'm not sure we're giving him 1095 01:19:12.039 --> 01:19:15.760 enough credit. We're not on the ice of the whole third period for a 1096 01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:17.199 lot of it anyway, Oh a ton of the third period. And you 1097 01:19:17.239 --> 01:19:20.720 got the game winning goal last night, Donny Hey, Garland still a rink 1098 01:19:20.840 --> 01:19:26.239 rad gets it, bounces up still setting an example for the Connuck players and 1099 01:19:26.279 --> 01:19:30.119 other players that Garland was great first period last night, Donnie, I hit 1100 01:19:30.159 --> 01:19:32.640 the crossbar, you another great chance. He was buzzing all in that first 1101 01:19:32.640 --> 01:19:35.680 period. I just love what Garland's Donny, and you know what, he's 1102 01:19:35.720 --> 01:19:39.479 happy to be here. There's going to be no trade demand from him ever. 1103 01:19:39.520 --> 01:19:44.119 Again, Salt Spring Grant, is it just me or o BC Place 1104 01:19:44.239 --> 01:19:47.239 not be able to keep the World Cup natural grass because of all the trade 1105 01:19:47.279 --> 01:19:51.359 and convention shows the stadium hosts, such as the Boat Show. That's a 1106 01:19:51.359 --> 01:19:55.920 great point by Salt Spring Grant. It's something we talked about in one of 1107 01:19:55.960 --> 01:19:59.560 the breaks, and for people who are just tuning in. We talked earlier 1108 01:19:59.800 --> 01:20:05.000 with Victor mattagliani Ye from concer Calfa the you know the World Cup twenty six 1109 01:20:05.079 --> 01:20:10.399 coming to BC Place, natural grass will be installed. What happens afterwards? 1110 01:20:10.399 --> 01:20:13.840 Do you keep the grassy or does the grass get ripped out and they put 1111 01:20:14.000 --> 01:20:16.880 put artificial turf back in. And that's a great point by Salt Spring Grant. 1112 01:20:17.039 --> 01:20:19.640 It's not just about the white camps and the Alliance. Yes, it's 1113 01:20:19.680 --> 01:20:24.159 about the trade shows, the conventions and the concerts that are there. Is 1114 01:20:24.199 --> 01:20:27.399 that a fit with Grass? I'm not so sure. I'm not an expert 1115 01:20:27.960 --> 01:20:30.720 on these things, but that's a great question. Absolutely well done, Grant. 1116 01:20:31.039 --> 01:20:34.359 You guys yelling at Ryan to put stuff up on the screen reminds me 1117 01:20:34.439 --> 01:20:39.079 of two old men on a porch yelling at the neighborhood kids for having fun. 1118 01:20:39.119 --> 01:20:45.199 That's from PLoP. Ryan yells at us before the show, yells at 1119 01:20:45.239 --> 01:20:47.760 us during the commercial breaks. Nobody ever sees that. But we get you 1120 01:20:47.800 --> 01:20:50.479 and I get in trouble, and we got people ripping us all the time, 1121 01:20:50.479 --> 01:20:54.319 Okay, Rick and Aldegov used to rather, you're too hard on Ryan. 1122 01:20:55.000 --> 01:20:58.760 Ryan rips the hell out of us and yells and screams at us during 1123 01:20:58.800 --> 01:21:01.760 the breaks and before the show and after the show. Is it just me? 1124 01:21:02.399 --> 01:21:08.479 This is unsigned? Or is natural gas created from Jolly Wall eating pork 1125 01:21:08.560 --> 01:21:13.800 chops in bed unsigned? De Landy's okay, tying Langley in box? Is 1126 01:21:13.840 --> 01:21:15.840 it just me? But with this road trip being so important, McKay I 1127 01:21:15.880 --> 01:21:20.159 have had a sleeper of a game Breton Port Moody his first shit to say 1128 01:21:20.199 --> 01:21:24.720 there, he just flew through that. But what are you saying? Is 1129 01:21:24.760 --> 01:21:28.279 it just me? With the road trip being so important? McKay have had 1130 01:21:28.279 --> 01:21:31.600 a sleeper of a game from Brenton Pomo Port Moody. But he had a 1131 01:21:31.600 --> 01:21:35.319 great first shift. Did you see wow? Mckayv Okay just got Doney. 1132 01:21:35.520 --> 01:21:38.880 He started off in the right foot, they got the puck in deep he 1133 01:21:38.920 --> 01:21:43.079 did he created a turnover. Mackay was strong heard. I believe he was 1134 01:21:43.119 --> 01:21:46.600 on for some late shifts protecting the one goal lead. But he doesn't get 1135 01:21:46.680 --> 01:21:50.119 noticed a lot out there. Rick. But if you're expecting goals from mackayev 1136 01:21:50.319 --> 01:21:53.600 forget about it. He hasn't scored on the lost money does he make? 1137 01:21:53.760 --> 01:21:58.000 He was inter scorts is the seven seventeenth and he was a bottom six guy 1138 01:21:58.000 --> 01:22:00.199 in Toronto. One of the reasons he came to Vancouber because the Canucks sold 1139 01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:02.920 them on being in the top six. Remember what I told you. When 1140 01:22:03.000 --> 01:22:06.399 hockey poop will recruit you, what do they tell you everything you want to 1141 01:22:06.399 --> 01:22:12.159 hear? Is it just me or could the NHL again unsigned this is a 1142 01:22:12.159 --> 01:22:15.600 good text sign your textbooks. Is it just me? Or could the NHL 1143 01:22:15.680 --> 01:22:20.079 be looking to move Arizona before the CBA because players have suffered because there isn't 1144 01:22:20.319 --> 01:22:25.239 a revenue minimum for escrow. Imagine if you add it two times or three 1145 01:22:25.239 --> 01:22:29.199 times the revenue from Arizona and how that would have impacted the capital the last 1146 01:22:29.199 --> 01:22:31.600 few seasons. I'm not sure if I read that properly, but you get 1147 01:22:31.680 --> 01:22:36.680 the idea. It makes more sense, not only for the NHL, for 1148 01:22:36.760 --> 01:22:41.920 the owners, for the whoever is going to own that team wherever owns them 1149 01:22:41.960 --> 01:22:45.039 now, to move would help the players as well. Yeah, and they're 1150 01:22:45.039 --> 01:22:47.159 bringing it with this playing in a five thousand seed arena, You're bringing the 1151 01:22:47.199 --> 01:22:51.239 overall revenue of the league way down. It's just weirdest thing. It's just 1152 01:22:51.359 --> 01:22:56.000 he just doesn't want to lead because of the TV market. I'll never forgive 1153 01:22:56.039 --> 01:23:00.600 Trevor Linden for making me wait four hours at Future Shop to get an autograph. 1154 01:23:00.680 --> 01:23:05.199 I was up next and they said Trevor has left the building. Can 1155 01:23:05.199 --> 01:23:09.439 you imagine waiting four hours for an hour? Who's that from that? There's 1156 01:23:09.520 --> 01:23:13.840 no name, there's no name, and Trevor left Trevor, he was next 1157 01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:16.399 for the autograph down after four hours and then an noo, it's Trevor's leaving. 1158 01:23:16.479 --> 01:23:20.239 Come on, poor guy. That's the first negative everord when it comes 1159 01:23:20.279 --> 01:23:26.119 to Trevor Linden and the public. Is it just me? But Ryan was 1160 01:23:26.119 --> 01:23:30.439 the guy who wouldn't shut up everything that was wrong with the Canucks from the 1161 01:23:30.479 --> 01:23:33.319 owner all the way to the seats. But he gets early quiet. Since 1162 01:23:33.359 --> 01:23:39.319 the Canucks have been on this run unsigned again, I think people are in 1163 01:23:39.399 --> 01:23:43.520 such a rush to get into Is it just me that they forget to sign 1164 01:23:43.560 --> 01:23:45.960 their text? But yeah, you have been a little quiet. You's been 1165 01:23:46.000 --> 01:23:48.520 really quiet. You rip and tear of the Canucks. You know, I'm 1166 01:23:48.560 --> 01:23:51.279 the same way. They're playing better. What can he say? They're first 1167 01:23:51.319 --> 01:23:55.359 in the NHL after fifty games done. Yeah, but you have the pomp 1168 01:23:55.399 --> 01:23:58.840 pumps stop and it's okay. I just said I love these guys too. 1169 01:23:59.319 --> 01:24:03.640 They make it seem like last year when they when a coach is being publicly 1170 01:24:03.680 --> 01:24:08.039 embarrassed and everything else that is going on. Didn't last year it was a 1171 01:24:08.119 --> 01:24:14.159 tire fighting. But they make it seem like they saw this rebound. Nobody 1172 01:24:14.159 --> 01:24:16.119 saw this nobody, No, no, but that like people like that that 1173 01:24:16.239 --> 01:24:20.279 right in That's how they seem like. People are stunned by what's happened. 1174 01:24:20.319 --> 01:24:26.560 This is nobody saw it. They turn arounds in sports like that. Canucks 1175 01:24:26.560 --> 01:24:30.960 are stunned. Yet everything has to go and the injury situation has been pretty 1176 01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:33.960 good, but everything has to go so well. What a rether should say 1177 01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:36.720 before in order for us to make the playoffs, and that was just make 1178 01:24:36.800 --> 01:24:42.800 the playoffs running, make the playoff first overall. Even Jimmy n Alb never 1179 01:24:42.880 --> 01:24:45.560 saw this. Nobody saw it anything. Yeah, hey, I all the 1180 01:24:45.640 --> 01:24:48.279 roses to them. They played well this year. Okay, so they played 1181 01:24:48.279 --> 01:24:53.319 the Bruins tomorrow. This is from Dan Delaney, Is okay, Tarring Langley 1182 01:24:53.359 --> 01:24:57.159 inbox? Is it just me? But are the Canucks not facing enough adversity 1183 01:24:57.199 --> 01:25:00.800 this year? It feels like the Bruins last year and we all know what 1184 01:25:00.920 --> 01:25:03.119 happened to them in the playoffs. We were looking at the standings, the 1185 01:25:03.159 --> 01:25:11.359 overall standings before this show started, and all three of us said, Canuct 1186 01:25:11.439 --> 01:25:15.880 Nation has to be praying they don't win the President's Trophy like the Bruins did 1187 01:25:15.960 --> 01:25:18.520 last year. I even got the number in front of me. But then 1188 01:25:18.760 --> 01:25:25.479 you know, the chances of winning the President's Trophy and the Stanley Cup in 1189 01:25:25.560 --> 01:25:30.439 the same year aren't great. It doesn't happen. Last President's Tophy Stanley Cup 1190 01:25:30.479 --> 01:25:33.439 winner twenty thirteen the Chicago Blackhawks. There you go, it just it doesn't 1191 01:25:33.479 --> 01:25:36.359 happen. It doesn't work like playoffs are a brand new ball game. And 1192 01:25:36.439 --> 01:25:42.840 you mentioned something about health, don they only got like, honestly, Susie's 1193 01:25:42.880 --> 01:25:45.399 injured, right and up front, they have not had a major injury to 1194 01:25:45.399 --> 01:25:49.079 any of their top six guys all season long. They've been absolutely one of 1195 01:25:49.119 --> 01:25:53.319 the healthiest teams. You've just jinxed them down. Oh stop it. And 1196 01:25:53.399 --> 01:25:57.399 in years past they've led the league in injuries and this year they've been healthy. 1197 01:25:57.600 --> 01:26:00.520 Knock on Wood will take a break and wrap up the show next Donnie 1198 01:26:00.520 --> 01:26:10.439 Dollydtimo.

Oh go go, Okay, here we go? 1241 01:29:30.520 --> 01:29:33.239 Is it just me? The reason the Canucks don't have many injuries is 1242 01:29:33.279 --> 01:29:36.079 because talking told the boys to come in shape, and when you're in shape, 1243 01:29:36.079 --> 01:29:39.920 you don't get many injuries.
