director. The voice of God is Derek Juan. Happy Canada Day weekend.
It's it's a holiday today and we're working. We're working. We're supposed to
happen. We should have took Friday, but there's too much happening. We
can't. It was bad enough. We took the weekend off because a whole
lot happened there. Hey, a whole lot is happening today. Before we
get into all the hockey, just a reminder that the bice A Lions three
and oz in Toronto later today. The Argo is defending Great Cup Champions two
and oh. So that game is going on, important game of the CFL.
We'll deal with that a little bit later. But what a big day
just all around the National Hockey League on Saturday and the Canucks. Rick,
we're busy. We'll take a look at the board right now. The graphic
on what the Canucks were up to on Saturday, Teddy Blueger. They signed
coming over from the Vegas Golden Nights one year, one point nine million dollars
expected to be a third line left handed checking a center, Ian Cole one
year, three point million dollars. You were all over this all last week.
Rick. He comes over from Tampa Bay where he did a whole lot
of penalty killing Carson Susy formerly of the Kraken Minnesota Wild as well. He
gets termed three years three point two five per Matt Irwin a local kid,
Victoria, I can call him a kid anymore. One year two way contract.
Zach Sachenko is a goaltender. He gets a one year two way contract.
What's stuck out for you? All right? Well, the objective going
into Saturday, Donnie was be harder to play against. They got that improved
the penalty kill they got that. I think they're gonna block more shots.
I think they're gonna be more physical all things. They looked at Donnie going
in and I think they accomplished their goals. Now another big thing, no
stupid contracts, no Ericson's Beagles resells nothing. There was a case all around
the league, all around the league because the cap hasn't gone up a lot,
and that's a lot of teams are capped out. Donnie. I heard
from a lot of agents on the weekend complaining about not many teams had cap
space. That was a big issue. That's why you saw a lot of
one year deals. And these guys on one year deals, they're betting on
themselves because the cap is going to go up next year. Have a good
year and they'll be fine. Yeah. I like anything in life when it
comes to you know, jobs, work, just pretty much everything in life.
When there's a focus. And the Canucks had the bingal historically poor penalty
kill last year, they obviously needed to prove their team defense and their blue
line cores, and it looks like they've done that. So thumbs up to
Patrick Alvin, Jim Rutherford in company for what they accomplished on the weekend.
It's tough not resigning or not getting Luke Shan back in the fold. Same
with Kyle Burrows and Kyle, by the way, is going to join us.
At eleven o'clock today, Kyle Burrows signs a three year deal with the
Santos Sharks. Given what he's gone through in his career, he couldn't turn
that deal down. Oh, his agent did a great job, Donnie.
I mean three years one point one in Santos. I believe the issue with
Burrows and Vancouver and contract talks was term the third year. And he goes
and gets it. Just a beautiful deal and good for him. Glue guide
culture guy sticks up for his teammates. He's just absolutely loved in the Canucks
restroom, the same as Luke Shan. The Canucks did check in on Luke
Shan, but they knew his new price neighborhood was going to be too high.
Yeah, he gets the three year deal with the Nashville Nashville at two
point seven five that was just too rich and the Canucks knew that, but
they kept tabs on chen all along. Yeah, too rich for the Canucks
and the Leafs as we do. Okay, let's take a look at and
this is projected what the Canucks roster could very well look like come October and
the start of the regular season. Now you can argue this all you want.
This is what we're going with in terms of our projected forward forward lines.
Patterson between Kuzmako and McCay, which we saw some of last year before
mckayve got injured. And you know those days when Kuzmako wasn't a scratcher sitting
on the bed the miller between Beauvillier and Besser. I put Beavillier up there
in the top six, but remember near the end of the season, he
wasn't a Rick Towket favorite. No Rick, his ice time dipped at the
end. Yeah, but we've got him there for now, Blueger third line
center. And I just talked about how much Rick talket. Well, it
seemed like he wasn't a Bevillier Anthony Beavillier fan. He loves him some Phil
di Giuseppe. So we've got him on the on the third line, left
wing Garland on the right side of the Garland can plan on the left side
as well. In Garland's future somewhat up in the air. Rick a man
between put Coles in Maybe that's a bit of a stretch to see. Put
Coles in there and Joshua and then the question marks at the bottom here Canador
Pearson. Patrick Calvin said at the at his press availability on Saturday that he
expects Pearson to be at camp despite the hand issue us Uh well documented hand
issues Sheldon dry S, Tanika hole Glander. We'll see, but that's what
we're going with for now. Some of these guys are gonna end up in
Abbotsford, DONNYI, there's no party. He loves Djuspi because he plays a
heavy game. That's what Rick talk it like. So that's why he's in
there. And he is going to start the season of Vancouver. There's no
question um. And and look, say what you want about the Canucks last
year, I believe thirteenth in goals for per game. They could score.
It's it's it's defensey particular penalty killing. Uh that's gonna make or break this
team. And keep in mind that they didn't have that your damp quo for
the whole year. So this helps but having Dempco healthy helps at least as
much. Yeah, absolutely, Donny. I just want to say something about
Blueger Um. I don't think we realize how many teams were after him on
Saturday. I heard a ton and the Canucks. He appreciated the fact that
Elvine Rutherford talk at Gone Chart went after him hard. And I'm gonna tell
you something else. Pittsburgh Connection, Jeff Pittsburgh Connection. A lot of teams
were surprised. A lot of teams were surprised Bluegird picked Vancouver. I'll just
leave it at that, but I'm going to tell you that that affiliation with
all these Pittsburgh guys they had helped him getting Bluegird of Vancouver. Okay,
Rick, correct me if I'm wrong here. But everything I saw Saturday and
Sunday, there was a lot of people who felt that having Rick Talkeet behind
the bench convinced players like Teddy Blueger to sign with a Vancouver connection. I
mean, they didn't have a good year, so there's opportunity there as well.
And there's that familiarity and the same thing with Ian Cole. The familiararity
with all these Pittsburgh guys got him to Vancouver. There's no defense and bus
about it. Okay, let's take a look, Derek, if you don't
mind at the defense and the goaltenders. Let's start at the bottom here.
The goaltenders. You know, you know no question here, Demco is your
number one, and then you've got Would you call it a battle between Martin
and Sea Lobs or do we just assume that Sea Lobs, given what he
did at the World Championships and somewhat of a breakthrough year last year, he's
the guy that's going to get the backup role or would it serve him better
as a young goaltender who's had some success to spend the whole year in Abbotsford.
When the Canucks went shopping for a goaltender Saturday, they didn't have the
money to do a one way. That's why Colin Delhia is not back.
That's why they got this zach chenko Ian. Clark likes him, he's known
him through his American Hockey League days. So they didn't have the money to
do a one way on a third goaltender, and they didn't want to do
it, so they got him. It's going to be fascinating to see the
backup goaltending situation because you don't want to ever see this, but what happens.
Don ask yourself if Demp goes out four to six weeks, somebody's got
to step up out of that group and provide very, very good minutes.
Yeah, yeah, and again you know, one of my keys to next
season. It's so, I mean, this is very obvious. This isn't
a great revelation. But Demko's health, I think Rick Hacket's coaching and getting
off to a good start, among other things. You nailed it, but
things that they didn't have didn't have last year. Yeah, okay, So
defense, Yes, hughes with Cole and I'm giving Cole and I'm gonna get
to this. You know about handedness in a second here, but Hughes with
a Cole on the right side, even though and we're gonna hear from Ian
in a second. Uh, Hugh's with Cole lefty on the on the right
side. And he he says he does he can play, he can play
both sides. I don't always like that, Susy, same thing. He's
a left hander, but we're throwing him on the left side here with Heronica
on that second pairing, and then then the third pairing. Meyer is what
his bonuses due in September fifteen. We'll see what happens with him after that,
okay, but for now he's a part of the organization, right side
on the third pairing. And I've got Keyta Harrossi there and people can argue
this till the cows come home. We'll land in HL Defenseman of the Year.
Maybe he belongs in that in that third pairing left handed spot, Breeze,
baw Irwin, a Ward Rathbone, maybe Ethan bear All in the mix.
But I just when when I watched Herosi play last year, and look,
I know we pressed me nothing games, and I know he's left handed,
not right handed, but he just reminded me of Chris Tanna when he
first broke a different situation. Tanna was under a lot more pressure. I
mean, this was a twenty eleven playoff team we're talking about. They made
it to the Stanley Cup final. But had his thought he was so calm
and cool. He did not look out of place at all. And you
don't got juleson up there, But I mean keeping one on Julson as well,
because Julson is I mean, I mean, just keeping one on him.
He was good down the stretch, Donnie, Can I get this in
a Can I say one where they like? They also didn't sign Shan,
they didn't sign Burrows. You mentioned Julson. They're kind of back to where
they were with and if they get rid of rid of Myers, they're kind
of back where they were. No, no, right, he's here,
No rights, no, no, pardon me, there are right, he's
here, but maybe not as many as they as they'd as they'd like,
every team would like more. I just want to get this in about Cool
and Susy. It was fascinating how they both ended up in Vancouver. In
fact, they're good friends. They played together in Minnesota. When they heard
they were both connected to Vancouver, they reached out to each other and talked
to each other about the possibility to play in Vancouver, and they got excited.
Cole did talk term with Vancouver. He talked one, two and three
years, but he took the one year and it was okay with that and
with the salary cap going up. Like I told you, a lot of
players were okay with one year deals on the weekend and Cole was one of
them. But he did talk term. He's good friends with Susy. The
whole thing came together I think around him. You know, it just came
together over the weekend and away we go. They're both here. You know,
well you mentioned Julson there. If I and Thomas Drants talked about this
a lot. That hughes Julson pairing. You know, it's not like they
played the whole season, but it was somewhat effective last year. It was
if that, if that could, I mean there was. People might have
a hard time thinking, you know, Julson who you know. I think
it's fair to say that a career hasn't worked out exactly as planned as a
first round draft pick of the Montreal Canadians, But that would just that would
just make things so much better for the Cocks. If that, if that,
and then everybody moves down him. See what happens with with Myers?
Okay, so anything else, yeah, okay, I do want to get
this in because this is going to be important with the salary cap going forward.
Tucker Puman is your LTI R candidate. He just can't get cleared by
the doctors to play. He's been trying to feel for the guy. He
doesn't want to retire. Uh, he just can't get the clearance from the
doctors to play Donnie. He's been trying for months. It doesn't look good.
So that would probably be your LTI R candidate going forward. Yeah.
Ink call was made available to the media on Saturday after he's signed, and
he's he's a sharp guy. He's been around for a while. Um.
Here he is talking about and we look on that board again for a second.
Here, Derek, if you don't mind, Ian Cole is a left
handed defenseman, a veteran defenseman. We've got him pencil in if you will,
on the right side, and this is Ian Cole on his preference as
a left handed defenseman left side, right side. You know, I don't,
I really don't. Um. You know, I think there's there's positives
negatives to both sides. I mean I think you know, on one hand,
you know, if you're left on the right point, you're walking across
the blue line. On your forehand, you can see the whole ice U
At the same time, you kind of get jammed up in the corner and
the dzon and you gotta make some backhand plays, you know. So there's
there's little things that you try to figure out with experience kind of what works,
what doesn't. And I think that I played a lot of games on
the right side. I would say, now, well maybe close to half
of my career on the right side, so UM, a lot of times
I'll switch left and right. Like at the end of games this year,
I'd go on the right side with with Victor Headman and you know, depending
out who are you know, trying to protect the lead. Um, usually
that would happen. So it's uh, I can go either side, go
either way. And I think that's part of you know, what I try
to bring is kind of that that utility, that versatility, the versatility in
terms of playing with multiple partners and on both sides. And he can kill
penalties and he can kill penalties and he was a big penalty killer for Tampa
Bay Donny when the Lightning was shorthanded, he went over the boards first more
than not. And here is Ian Cole on what he feels the key is
to success on the PK. Obviously you're shorthanded, You're in a tough spot.
You're playing against other teams five best players and your shorter guys. So
m your reads need to be good, your execution needs to be for the
most part perfect and there's not a lot of room for error. I think
being able to do those things as consistently as possible is what leads to UM,
you know, the PK number being successful over time. I mean,
anyone can throw one or two peks together, but can you get to that
eighty five ninety? I think a couple of years go in Carolina, we
were, you know, right at ninety. So can you continue to do
that consistently? And that's the name of the game, I think in the
PK um making those quality reads, quality decisions, executing almost perfectly, but
doing it over and over and over again. And I think that's what you
know, I try to bring to the game in a PK sense, But
then also five on five as well, that consistency, that reliability to try
to get that job done. Consistency is such a big word of the National
High King. I think with with with penalty killing two you have to take
pride in it. And one person in the Connection organization who when he was
a player, really took pride in penalty killing is y Ryan Johnson. Blocking
shots as a forward, he put his body on the line. It was
it was something, it was something to watch again. I watched him closely
with the you know, the year or two he played for the Canucks was
it was pretty impressive. You have to have pride in it's just so important.
Canucks did last in the PK in the National hick Key League, so
they went out and made an attempt at improving improving the PK. Good on
them. Yeah, and it's not just last year, Donny. The pksemen
horrible for a long time. It's time to change it. It's time to
address it and fix it. And I think they took a big step towards
doing that. Okay, Lots going on on the show. Ryan Henderson is
here along with Derek Wong. As we mentioned, DTMZ is just me.
Coming up later on. Kyle Burrows is gonna join us. Kyle Burrows with
a San Jose Sharks a couple of years with the Canucks. Manned so many
years in the minors and he gets himself a multi year deal. Couldn't turn
it down. Okay, Big Ride, the Twitter guy is going to join
us later this hour. We're also going to talk about the Canucks development cap
and what's going on there. Chris Faber among other people really impressed with Tom
vy Landers skating. We're gonna hear from Tom we Lander as well. That's
going on at UBC. I'm not sure if it goes to Wednesday. I'm
not sure when they do the grind, but we'll find that out later on
this week and up next. Speaking of the Canucks and everything that's going on
with them, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet, he's going to join us next.
Thanks so much for tuning in on this holiday Monday, folks at Donnie Tolling
the team on Jack, Donnie and Dolly. The team is supported by Able
Auctions dot c A closing your business where you can help. It is Monday
Holiday Monday and Oliver guests today, including Murph standing by sponsored by Bissan Motors
celebrate Canada Day with unbeautiful deals on pre owned vehicles. Canada Day has come
and gone to still celebrating. Oh yeah you should be too. Oh visit
there Sharman Surrey or shop online at Pisant b A s A NT Motors dot
com. Delanney's Okay, Terry Langley inbox. No shortage including ed from Murth
Vancouver of people saying that this top six, this roster still seems soft yeah.
I did check in Donnie to see if the Canucks had interest in Zach
McEwan, who's a UFA last night and I was told Noah, as of
last night, he wouldn't be in the top six. No. But I'm
just saying just more toughness in general. We're getting a lot of that on
the weekend. I got asked a lot. Are they tough enough? They
lost Burrow as they lost Shin you know where they didn't reacquire Shan. Yeah.
Dan Murphy joins us now from Sportsnet. Murph, thanks for doing our
first ever guest on Donnie and Dolly. Oh, and he joins us again.
How are you just a great guy? I'm good. How are you
guys doing good? What was your opinion of the moves that Canucks made over
the weekend, Murph? I think they did actually quite a good job considering
the amount of cap space at all being had to play with the holes they
needed to plug. They identified needs, you know, like at the end
of last season they said third line centers are big need. Now, of
course the Oel buyout, the Ethan Bear injury that changed all that and had
to kind of, you know, pivot to the defense first but I think
considering the limited amount of space they had, they targeted the right guys.
I don't think a third line center that Blue Girl is going to give you
the offensive numbers that Sheldon Dries did. But they need a more defensive profile.
They need a guy that can be a little heavier, that can kill
penalties, that can win face offs, and I believe that's what Blue Girl
is going to do for them. Does he have the upside to move up
if there's an injury, I doubt it, But I think that they did
a good job. They're concerning one year at one point nine million on the
defense too, they needed more size, they needed more heaviness, and they
needed guys who could kill penalties. I think they got that in the two
players, and again, you know, relatively little risk. One year for
Cole, three years for Susy. These are two guys that led their active
teams in minor penalties last year, so you know they play hard, but
they're both very good penalty killers as well. So I think it was a
good July first for the Canucks considering how disastrous a lot of July first have
been in the past. Hey, Murph fun if you heard our prelude to
before you got on the air here. But a lot of people in our
Delaney's okay, tiring Langley and Box saying this team and maybe they don't know
a whole lot about Kohl or Susie joined the club, saying that this team
isn't tough enough, you know, not mean enough. They're not going to
make it hard to play at at Rogers Arena, and they let go of
Burrows, they don't resign Luke Shan, what do you think? You know?
I think there's always kind of going to be those questions with this group.
But I would worry, first off, are they fast enough? More
than are they top Yeah, I mean in the top six. I want
the speed, they've got skill, They've got a little bit of heaviness,
what the likes of Miller. Besser is a big guy. He doesn't play
up to the size all the time. So I'd be more willing are they
fast? I'd be more concerned are they fast enough than are they tough enough?
I think you can fill in some toughness, uh, you know,
in the margins around the edges, but you need speed to winning this game,
especially in the regular season. I think the heavier game, as we
saw in Vegas, comes more in a style in the playoffs, but I
want to see more speed before anything. Dan, you cover this team every
day and you're there with the players more than us. What is Kyle Burrows?
What are they gonna miss with Kyle Burrows gone? Um, I mean,
I don't know if I ever saw him without a smile on his face.
That Remember Bruce Boudreau said too like he would put him in warmups knowing
he wasn't going to play, just because he would elevate the room getting dressed
and going out in the ice. Yeah, I mean, I said,
these volumes. It's a business. So I heard his exit meeting was excellent.
I thought, you know, I heard that Alvin was very happy with
his play and Burrows obviously with a dream come true to play in Vancouver,
he would have loved to stay. This is a business decision, you know.
He got three years in San Jose, so good for him. But
I just love the way he played. He played bigger than his size.
He was never afraid to stick up for teammates. But again, sometimes you
have to move on for these players because it's just maybe too much term.
But I just think he was one of those real, you know, kind
of blue guys in the locker room, especially considering the limited role he had
on the ice. We're gonna hear the word playoffs a lot over the summer
and into September, Like, do you think they took the necessary steps to
get there? Dead Well, talk to me after the first two weeks of
the season. If they're in one, then I'll get an answered. I
think that they are better equipped right now than they were at the end of
last season. I think you have to hope that Philip Philip Horonic is what
they believe he is. I like the fact that they now have options to
play alongside him, so he doesn't feel like he has to carry his own
pairing, so you can put him with Susy or put him with Cole.
They've good veterans to play with him, and the coaching staff getting a full
training camp, I mean five full days in Victoria. When was the last
time we saw a camp that was that long. So yeah, I think
they're in a better spot now than they were at the start of last season,
no question, But this division is tough. Vegas Edmonton, LA is
on the rise. Who knows about Seattle, so it's gonna be tough sledding,
but they do have the top end talent, they do have the goaltending,
and if the coaching staff has the systems to make them play the way
they want to in the defensive zone, especially then I'm not going to count
them out this season, where last season in the beginning I probably was ready
to count them out of a playoff spot. And he thoughts Murph one year
two point two five on how Oel is going to do down in Florida.
Well, I mean, I think they're probably going to use them on the
second unit power play. I hope he's healthy, you know, because you
can really tell a last season here he was struggling with injuries. You know,
it's a shame too right this you know he's gone, and you know,
maybe Myers has gone if there's that proposed trasy goes. I think we're
two just top quality human beings, but are both just a bit beyond their
best before date. So I really hope it works out for Oel. I
hope he's healthy. I hope they put him in a role where he could
succeed and he's not going to have the burden of that contract over his head.
Anymore. He handled it really well here, even knowing he wasn't playing
up to the contract. He would never shy away from answering questions if he
was asked, and he was always really good that way. So I hope
it works out from two point five scenes reasonable, So does almost twenty million
in a biout hey sports sports Net like biout hey, what's your reading?
What the Connects is saying about Tander Pearson? If I know, you're not
a doctor, but Patrick Galvin said on Saturday he expects him at training camp.
Yeah, he said they're doctors. Say the hand is healed, Say
that Tanner is training, and say he stay, he'll be ready for camp.
That's all fun and good. I kind of will hear from Tanner Pearson
and his camp on how and how he's feeling. I sure hope what Alvin
said is true. I hope that Pearson has healed. That would be a
terrible way to lose another start of a season just from what he's gone through.
I'm sure mentally it's been tough. Physically it's been tough, So I
hope that's accurate. I hope he comes in because you know, again we
focus on uh, you know, age and speed and salaries. But this
is a guy too that can kill penalties. This is a guy that's a
little bit heady. He's not super easy to play against. He can come
up bagas then didn't he Carson Susy last year or the year before, I
can't remember. He's not afraid, So I would hate to see his career
kind of dwindle away because of an injury that's been you know, kind of
lingering on for this long. Ger Susy last year. I'm not yea hey,
one more off the subject, but we see Adam Hadwin in a playoff
yesterday on the PGA Tour. Nick Taylor wins the Canadian Open. Famously of
a few weeks back. You grew up playing at Ledge View, where those
two golfers are from. What is the deal? And we could go back
to Ray Stuart and James Lepp as well, What is the deal with that
golf course? I just think that anybody that plays there you can travel the
game. You know, sometimes when you play your home course you go somewhere
else. You can't bring that whatever three four handicapped with you or you know,
these guys are plus whatever handicaps. The greens can be incredibly tough,
speedy and slope. You have to hit it straight, you have to hit
it off every live side hill, downhill, uphill. So I think that's
it. I mean, you learn to play all those shots that stuff.
Forget Ledgie doesn't even have a drives well they do, but those guys can
get more than nine irons off it. So they went out and they play
it all the time. They got their reps in. They weren't always like
just trying to hone in their golf swing. They were playing golf and get
forces you that course to hit all the shots off all the lies and the
greens. You know, you have to be able to get it up and
down around the greens and pot So my biggest thing is that if you play
at Redview, your game travels well. Thanks so much. Yeah yeah,
okay, sure buddy, Yeah yeah, I bet by the way, with
I love that hat. Yeah. The logos outstanding. The Sasquatch logo is
how do we got there? It's outdoor tack. I don't know. My
my wife brought it back from Whistler. So it's got to be something to
do up there with skiing and stuff. So I stole it from her because
I liked it too outstanding. All right, Murf, I have a great
summer. We'll talk to you in September October. You got a boys,
and take some holidays. For goodness sakes, what's going on? They got
two months off coming up on the furs Day. Don't worry if that we
got that out of control. Yeah, and Dolly Wall At some point here
the Crown. I think we're gonna switch the crown out. You saw the
Pronger brothers are making whiskey journey with you. I saw that. Yeah.
Can you say you're tight with them? Send them over, let's go.
Yeah. Hey, Murphy, the only people have more of vacation, the
only person who has more vacations than as to Charty. Yeah, okay,
so we're two four seven, twenty four hours a week, seven months a
year. Yeah, it's Danny, all right, Murf, good summer,
Thank you, Hey boys, Thank all right, Dan Murphy. Hey,
great point there by murfh we've talked so much about, you know, toughness
and penalty killing. He's wondering about speed and one thing we didn't see much
of last year was Iliam McKay of speed because of the knee injury early on.
I mean he looked pretty fast and he was hurting. He's very so
what would he be like if he was completely healthy? So that's something the
Cannucks have to be depending on this time around, you know, come September
October poll question. It is Connock related as you can imagine. And again
for you Lions fans out there, we're gonna get to the Lions and the
game at Toronto later on, but the pull question is Canucks related. It's
next. Donnie Delhi. The team on check able Auctions specializes in helping British

dot net pull question. Every game, every transaction, every story in sports
starts at bet ninety nine dot net. Oh boy does it ever our bet
ninety nine dot Pole question, what are the Canucks signings on Saturday? Is
simply the best and uh leading it's Susie, Cole or Blueger leading the way
as susy three main signings. Yeah, that they were. That's the big
three they got and with the money they had allocated they had available, this
is the big three they got. And they better hope it's Susie because he's
got term. He's got term, and Cole and Blueger one year deals.
I you know, I'd be shocked if the Canucks don't resign Blueger. Uh,
there's uh. I'd be really surprised. They haven't seen him playing.
Yes, they have seen him play. He's been in the NHLF for a
long time. But you don't know if this regime knows him inside out on
Yeah, but you don't know if he's gonna be Yes, I'd be shocked.
Wow, you're just so defensive. But it got the Canucks do.
But I mean, no, they haven't seen him play in a Vancouver uniform.
Yeah, but they know him inside out. I'm just saying for me,
i'd be Jim Benning probably thought he knew Oel inside out. He knew
Ericson from the Boston days. Yeah, yeah, there you go. So
now you agree with me. You don't know, you know, no time
will tell you. They're different personalities involved, a different head coach, different
assistant coaches, different environment. Yeah, see you don't. You don't know.
So I can't see. How can you see be shocked. I think
he's a good fit and that when you see him, uh, you see
other people talk about him or you see him play, well, he's he's
a pain of the ass to play against. And I like that, Donnie.
What concerns me is they had to get a third line center on the
free agent market. There should be somebody d Abbatsburg that is stepping into that
role. That's why you have a farm team, and they clearly don't have
that. Sheldon drives well, he's wingers slash center. They brought him in.
They didn't develop him. I'm telling him. They gotta. I'm telling
you they got to develop sorry centers that can come in so you don't have
to spend on free agent market to get a third line center. There should
be someone in Abbsburg ready to go, and they don't have that. There
you go, there you go. I'm as centers. Did you okay,
some business that you've got and then we'll talk about a move in Detroit today.
Business pastime, Harrison. But our draft, like we've done every draft.
Look at Ryan said, no, okay, we're still recapping the draft.
Okay. All of our NHL Draft and recap Free agency news presented by
Harrison Hot Springs Resorting Spa. Only ninety minutes from downtown Vancouver and featuring five
natural hot springs, Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa the perfect family getaway or
relaxing weekend for you and your significant other. Get all the details at Harrison
Resort dot com. I'm gonna take you back the twenty eighteen NHL entry drafts
and Rasmus dell ingals first to the Buffalo Sabers. There was some talk earlier
in the previous season that Phillips Adina was going to go really, really high,
and maybe even number one. I'm not talking, you know, the
days leading up to the draft, but during the season previous, this guy,
Mike Michael number one. He ends up going and Canuck fans have never
thanked another organization enough. He ends up going sixth overall to the Detroit Red
Wings. Yeah, okay, yeah, and that after that was done,
Philip Zadena gets drafted by Detroit. You've never seen Jim Benning move quicker quicker,
like just it was like he could have beaten Carl Lewis that day in
one hundred yard one hundred yards, one hundred meters. How old am I
one hundred meter dash? Uppie goals. He drafts Quinn Hughes and the wrist
rest is history. Lucky but at quality draft pick. No matter what you
think of Jim Benning, but by the Vancor for Canucks, Philip Zadena got
wave today today, and I think by the Detroit Red Wings. Yeah,
Philip Zadena sixty eight points in one hundred and ninety games since drafted Quinn Hughes
two hundred and forty one points in two hundred and eighty three games. The
Vancouver Canuck should send a Christmas card to Detroit every year for the next twenty
years. Well, not just Detroit, because it was also surprising that the
Haves took yes, Perry Cucking the Emmy third overall, and Arizona also,
you know they took Barrett Hayton, Barrett Haydon fifth. Yeah, so that
kind of opened it up for Vancouver as well. So yeah, well,
and with draft picks, you never know who's gonna make it who's not.
Donnie getting drafted is only half of the solution. The other is actually making
the DNHL. Brady Katchuck went fourth that year to Ottawa and I always remember
going into that draft when we were doing the show at the Funny Station,
that a lot of the thinking for us was, you know what if Brady
Kotchuck is available at number seven for the Canucks and whether or not they would
take him because they had passed on his dad back in nineteen nine. That's
it, you know what. They passed on a second, on a second
Kachuck, and that needs to say they also they also passed on Matthew as
well. Yes, right, yeah, back in twenty fourteen. Can I
get a to tidbit in before you guys go, well, we got it.
We have some business, but go okay. I just want to say
that cannot thing more to say about the draft. The Canucks should thank Ken
Hall and every day send him a Christmas card for crying out loud. They
got a franchise defenseman because of that, moved by the Red Wings at six
and Zadina. Now listen, Donnie, the Canucks are two point four million
over the cap. Everyone keeps asking me, can they do anything more?
Canucks like Maxim toys, but they need to move money in order to sign
them done. Thanks, come come twa. Anyways, Canucks also like Langley
native Danton Heinen, same thing. They gotta think we're gonna talk about that.
We'll talk about that, but they need they need to move money if
to get them. And I'm also hearing from my BC Hockey League sources a
lot of people are putting a bug in my ear that Francesco Acquilini is close
to buying the Chiliac Chiefs. So we'll see if that comes through. Well,
there was the thought that he was going to buy the way the Ring
ice. He might end up getting a lease at the rink. But for
some reason, I'm getting a lot of text today about something's going on with
Aquilini and the chilo Acc Chiefs and that might be a purchase here in the
next So he would buy the Chiefs and that would be part of like a
land deal or I'm just getting text. I'll look into it, but there's
just the BC Hockey League sources. But there was the thought he was going
to buy the Winnipeg Ice and move moved them to Chiloac. But now they're
going to Winatchie. But I believe Ron Toy go block that, so he
and he's got the right to do that, so I think. But something's
up with Acquiline and the chiefs will look into it. Okay. Meanwhile,
Donnie and Dollie, here's the business part. I was talking about you,
Okay. Ryan. By the way, your your segment's coming up next.
You have never been more flustered. It's fluster life because there's an issue with
Twitter. Today's all right now it's not just today, It's gone back to

is from Dwight in the Delanney's Okay, Tir and Langley inbox. I'm getting
a sick feeling of the thought of Acqualini ownership of our beloved chiliwac Chiefs one
more arena where you'll never hear Born to be Alive. That's from Dwight and
with Dad we go to Big Ride the Twitter guy. These are the concerns
in the markets, and that is a major concern. It's bad enough the
Canucks aren't playing it at Rogers Arena. Now the Chiefs are going to be
at Anti. Patrick Hernandez didn't we give reports at some point this year that
it was played at an Abbotsford Canucks game. It was or a Giant's game.
It was one of those, one of those. It was abb I
think it was. Yeah, it was imagine what the building would be like
after the Canucks win. Well are they still doing I'm still standings that?
Are they still doing? I'm still standing my huthan John? Was that this
year? Yeah? Yeah, this year? But they have in the past
symbol mind minds the goals song? All right, but I'm still standing.
No, No, it's just no edge. Not that Patrick Canandez has a
whole lot of edge, but it's the thing one is, it's less obvious.
It's just two copycatish over Yeah, you know, the Leaves win and
they are playing what's this song again? From from slap show. Yeah,
they're playing back to where we started from. So then now the Canucks go,
hey, we need to do that, just be to find your own
things and do it. They have you move. They ripped that off.
That's the trouble they have. That's the problem that come up with this stuff,
Ryan. They don't just pick it up out of the air. No,
No, I'm picking up from other arenas and bring it into Vancouver.
But sometimes you just take a chance. If it doesn't work, kind of
like this show. If it doesn't work, you get rid of it.
If it works, though, you struck gold. I saw them last week
A shot Blink one eighty two, all the small Things, it's played nightly,
an avalanche games. That's not as did the Small Thing? Eighteen thousand
people sing along to the song. It's a catch a song. I guess
it work. It becomes a thing, and it becomes your thing, and
then it's you know, goes Gloria with the Saint Louis Blues. Remember that
which one you wouldn't but you wouldn't think that. You wouldn't think that would
work, and it did. Okay, because I get your points started with
something you took a chance. It became your thing, but it became their
thing. Chelsea Dagram at the Blackhawks? Are we gonna go through every team?
Hey? I got nothing else to do, so I may as well.
What's happening? Wow, it's just it's just musk related. How many
times have you been heard as somebody said? That? Is that a bad
name? Big Ry the Twitter Guy and Donny and Donnie are sponsored in part
by Saratoga Motorsports Park, home of Saratoga Speedway. This how about this?
Two of our sponsors colliding this weekend is the Quinsom Communications Sprint Car Classic.
It's a doubleheader of pure racing excitement for featuring all open wheel lineup Saratoga Speedway
fueling excitement since nineteen sixty nine. And speaking of raceways motorsports all that,
did you guys happen to see them? NASCAR? Yesterday? I saw the
reets of Chicago. Yeah, flooded. Yeah, the first time still at
a race, the first time they had done this where people are wondering if
I would be the future of NASCAR. Kind of going f one ish a
bit, going into a city instead of just a track, you go into
the actual city and you have a rip and it was a bit chaotic because
of the have a rip. Yeah, it was a big chaotic because of
the wetness on the grounds. Delanney's Okay, Teran Langley Bucks. Getting back
to the previous subject, do you remember the Canucks old intro song you Two
or the Streets have No Yes, damn yes. It worked and yet lyrically
at the start. Remember there were a lot of complaints because it was the
first words where I want to run, I want to hunk. Okay,
No, that I think that was a legitimate that they weren't even born when
they were using that. Talking about they used it in twenty eleven, I
have a rebuttal for it. They brought it back. I have a rebuttal
for you. Arguably the most how many decorated organization National Hockey League, the
Montreal Canadians. They use arguablies, fix you by cold Play, check out
those lyrics. But it works because it's a pump up. The way it
builds, it's a pump up too modern for me. The Streets of her
Name was the only unique of the straight You've gone from ripping them for the
seats to now songs Yes and you're not worried about that we haven't been in
the playoffs in twelve years and it's been a bleep pocket I tell you,
one of the great Alan Parsons serious, like like honestly whatever, remember think
that would work? They use that at Roger's Arena. Oh god, remember
this past year. I can't and the on the heels of Last Dance again.
Let's just rip off anything else and anyone has anything you need at Francesco,
We're here to help us if you want to redesign the chili Ac Chiefs
uniforms. Okay, Donny, so elon. I think this is ultimately employ
against you to piss off Canadian hockey fans because on Saturday morning, okay,
Saturday morning, free agency begins. Everyone wakes up. They want to go
on Twitter. They can't go on Twitter because of these rate limits. Him
and the folks at Twitter have implemented, which I'm not going to get too
techy yere and tech jargon. Basically, it means they put restrictions on how
many posts people can view in a day. He tweeted out that he's doing
a good deed for the world and that people need to go outside and reconnect.
This coming from somebody that tweets, probably more than anyone else on the
platform in Elon Musk. But so the same thing. I thought it was
cleared up because yesterday I didn't really have too many problems, but today I'm
getting rate limited again. So basically what happens is when I refreshed my Twitter
or now it's working when when so much for the ch for the giant build
up. When I refresh right Twitter, usually I was getting a thing that
said you can't look at this right now. Like the Pole question. I
wasn't able to get results because it was saying, but you are now,
Yeah, we'll see for the next thirty seconds, we'll see what happens.
But so he was getting it might have been your most embarrassing moment on too,
because he's still hadn't ripped apart for there's a there's an app that a
lot of people in business use called tweet Deck. It's not working. It's
a disaster. It's bottom line's a disaster, and people are wondering. Maybe
people should get outside and mo Alan stop it. If people are wondering legitimately,
if it's sabotage on Elon's part, like did he buy it just to
burn it? To the ground, because honestly, at this point, with
how clunky and broken it's been under his it's hard to think that it's not
that anest These are first world problems for you. Definitely, for sure,
I get it. You'll live. But you buy something from forty four billion
dollars and you're running into the ground. It gives you an idea how much
money he has get outside drive you know, uh, Molan, maybe it's
not really outside learn how to drive a standard. Weren't you tweeting Washing Guard?
I don't want to mention that should show that tweet. No, I
kind of one of the worst all time tweets from Don Taylor. No,
it was misunderstood. No, it was understood. It was bad. That
was it was, it was it was okay anyway, let me get to
Twitter. Uh we talked Saturday. Were you just on Twitter? And Saturday
Free agency? But this is from Alan Walsh because a lot of people were
bringing this up on Saturday. I know Rick loves him. NBA Free Agency
Day one team team spending six hundred and fifty million dollars. Okay, NBA
Day one Free Agency two point five billion. NBA team spent a billion dollars
in the first hour free agency. Yeah, it's incredible, it's insane.
Now the NBA m high salary smaller rosters, the roster is nowhere near an
NHL definitely end well, that would make you think they might want to spend
less. The starting five get all the money the guys absolutely, the remaining
seven guys can't get nothing, so you can understand. And the television contract
absolutely, this might be the worst thing item you've brought up a big ride.
It's obvious. It's not because you're gonna tell me Connor McDavid isn't worth
twenty million dollars a year. Well, I'll tell you that because the revenues
for the Edmonsonniers probably aren't what they are for let's say the New York Knicks.
Well, of course, and I understand all of that, but I
believe his value to the league is much greater than some of the players assigned
for big money over the weekend in the NBA. That's what I'm saying,
right, That's what I'm saying. And part of it is also because the
salary cap in the NHL needs to be completely reinvented. This hard cap and
look at I know it's gonna go up five percent, but there are things
that you and I both don't and Craig Button both both all don't understand the
situation. But I also be they'll be okay. I also think the owners
are never gonna budge because they're fine. They know they're underpaying all these players.
There's no way Jacquelini would like, yeah, like what do you like
to compete and like just be able to go out and sign anybody he wants
no salary cap at all, or have a salary cap. No, no,
you have a cap, but you have a tax. The NBA now
has like a luxury has like a four tier level to their cap, and
the higher you bleed into it, the ramifications that come with that. Baseball
has it as well, and I think too there should be something like basketball.
If you produce your own you know, your own talent. If you
have a first round taspick that you've you've developed, he turns into a star,
should that count against the cap or should there be a discount. I
think that's that's not that's not a bad idea. The thing is with baseball,
they luxury tax. Yankees just paying, Yankees paying, but they don't
always win. And that's Look at the Mets. Not lately anyway, look
at the Mets. Same things are absolutely exact, same thing. Oh it's
it's a yeah, it's a big problem in New York. I just think
I think they can reimagine it. And I think you should have a designated
player. Yeah, and one player on your rosters examp from the cap.
He has to be drafted and developed within your organization. You can't bring him
in he had like Alias Petterson, could be your designated player. He can
make fifteen million dollars a year or whatever, but he fits into that slot
and he's And I just think there's a more creative way of doing it than
just going, here's your number. That's it. Well, I think to
like, you know, you hate to say it, you know, the
working man out there hates and a woman hate hate to hear this, but
um, it's it's. I think it's good for business when you sign a
player to a big you know, if somebody's like Alias Petterson, if you're
able to keep somebody that value, Yeah, yes, I think it's really
good for business. Transactions also very different. Business get people, get people
talking. And I don't think although you know, the weekend was pretty good.
I don't think we have enough of that in the NHL, certainly not
in season. I totally agree. I totally agree, and I know Rick
was all over this on the weekend. By the way, when it comes
to the NBA, Damian Lithard officially asking out of Portland, Yeah, yeah,
it was shocked. I've really hit me hard. Um. But the
thing that Ryan tier NBA, there are guys you have never heard of in
your life signing for one hundred and twenty thirty forty million. For thirty forty
million, where's this going now? You know where? When is it gonna
stop for a long time? I know, But there's just guys. Oh,
sol So signed for two hundred and twenty million. I've never heard of
the guy in my life, and I know where's it going? Like,
you can't give every player in sports forty million. It just doesn't work well.
And hey, get ready, those numbers are gonna jump in the NBA
because they're in the Virgin New TV deals and they're gonna get a ton more
money in that league and expansion on top of that. Coming up next,
local boy moving on from the Vancouver Canucks signing a three year time in San
Jose. He is a good guy. He's been on the program before and

from Langley, leaves his hometown Vancouver, Canucks after a couple of seasons to
sign with the San Jose Sharks three years, three point three a million dollars
and Kyle joins us now Kyle, Thanks for doing this. Congratulations, how
are you, sir? Good, how you guys doing Thanks for having me?
Yeah, no problem. What made you decide on San Jose? It
was a good fit, I think, uh, you know, obviously when
things uh you know didn't work out with Vancouver, you know kind of had
to pivot, and you know, I think for us, we looked at
term and the fit there on the right side and it came together rather quickly.
But um, you know, I'm excited and uh yeah, greatful for
the opportunity they gave me. Did you get an offer from Vancouver cal h
Yeah, we had some obviously discussions that we're going through kind of towards the
deadline there that uh you know obviously didn't work out. But you know,
I was obviously grateful for the opportunity that they gave me these last two years,
and like obviously, like I said, I've been pretty vocal about it,
it was a dream come true for me and um, you know,
for myself. Now it's uh turned the focus on San Jose and uh,
you know, trying to add to their team. Uh you you touched on
that on this there. Can you put into words what it was like playing
for your hometown team, and we're retreated fairly. I mean yeah, like
I said, I've said it multiple times, and uh, you know,
it's obviously a dream come true of something that you know, you think about
as a kid, Um, you know, shooting box in your car board
or you know when when I was rolling up to the George Preston Center when
I was a kid playing minor hockey and Langley and um, yeah it was
it was obviously a great place to play. And um as far as street
fairly, yeah, I thought, you know what, obviously, any chance
to get an opportunity to play in the NHL, it's it's an opportunity that,
uh, not a lot of people get. So I don't think that
I could say I wasn't treated fairly at all. And um, you know,
obviously there there's times where you know, obviously wanted to play and contribute
a little bit more. But um, that being said, I I'm so
grateful for that opportunity that I got to play there here, and um,
yeah's something I'm going to look back on my career and and thank them for
kind of volking me to this level and putting me in position to succeed Kyle
how much tougher was it being a local boy during contract negotiations because you got
family and friends going Kyle, resign, resign, It was it a little
bit tougher? Yeah, obviously it's it's tougher and uh, you know,
like you said, like for me, is it's obviously it was. It
was a destination that I wanted to be in, um to continue my career.
But um, you know, sometimes you have to move on. And
Uh, as tough as it is, it's it's it could be for the
better here. And obviously with the stability and um, the length of term
that San Jose, uh and the opportunity that they've kind of provided me is,
which is what I'm kind of is super super excited about. And uh
yeah, Kyle, what are you gonna miss most about playing for the hometown
Connects? Well, I'm gonna I miss a lot of the guys there.
I think you know that that group of guys in that locker room, they're
they're great. You know. Obviously, Uh, put it on that jersey
is is something special. Um, you know, since since I remember,
that's that's something that's always always been you know, I mean, I guess
since the first time I put it on. It was something special and I
try not to take it for granted. And uh, you know, I
think that that's something that I'm gonna miss the most. Obviously the fans and
being able to play at home and um, you know have people that you
know, I've come and in passing throughout my career and you know me growing
up, whether that's school or um, you know, just people from minor
hockey that could just you know, send me message that they're at the game
or anything like that. Was was was special and um yeah I was.
I'm just grateful to have that opportunity. You know, Kyl. The salary
CAP's not going up, it hasn't gone up for a few years. COVID
and everything else. Was it tough thinking about free agency and what you never
know what could be out there on free agency? But you had seven eight
teams after you, which was great. But is it's also scary hit in
the market these days? Uhh yeah, for sure. Is. I think
you know, it's it's you never know what's going to happen. You know,
the market slide to be in funny or whatever it is. But you
know, I'm just happy that we could get something done. Quickly there once
kind of everything opened up, and yeah, I was just super excited to
be a Shirt. Talking with Kyle Burrows, Kyle seventh round draft pick back
in twenty thirteen, you played six seasons in the minors before you played your
first a National Hockey League game. What's your message to young hockey players at
any level when it comes to perseverance. I think you just gotta stick with
you that I think for me, I've always loved that I've done, um,
you know, getting to to show up to the rink and being able
to work and chase a dream. I think that that's something that I've always
you know, I haven't really thought of it too much more than that.
I think, you know, you have a if you're a person, need
the opportunity to work hard and you know, try to achieve something. I
think that that's something that I've always taken the heart is if the work you
put in is the work that you're gonna get out, and um, you
know there's gonna be hard times or good times. You just need to kind
of ride the wave and believing yourself and uh, trust what what you can
do. And um, obviously it's it's it's led me to the situation that
I'm in now where uh you know, obviously I'm living out my dream and
uh, you know, I'm just I'm just super excited that, you know,
through those dark days and those tough days of you know, riding the
bus and uh, you know, sticking with it and uh you know,
obviously, uh you know, it could be could be doing a lot of
other things, but you know, being a hockey player has always been a
dream of mine. And um, you know, to do it eyes level
is it's an honor. Yeah, and you got yourself a contract that most
of us can only dream about. Here here's another one, Kyle. Um,
people love the way you played in Vancouver. You drop the gloves once
in a while, more than once in a while on a fairly regular basis.
What place does fighting having today's game in your opinion? Uh, I
mean, I think, you know, it depends who you talk to you
but I think you know, it's it's something that you know comes through emotion,
it comes through the physicality of the game, and it comes through you
know, obviously the history of the game too. And I think that for
me, it's it's something that you can do to for your teammates to show
that you know, didineuspark or um if you know, they can't be taking
you know, the other team can't be taking liabilities on your star guys or
anybody. That's kind of we're in the same joursey as you and you know,
for me, it's it's something that comes with the physicality that I've I've
kind of come to love to play with and something that I've had to develop
to um, you know, stick around and earn respect and uh, yeah,
it's it's it's it's I think there's As a fan of the game,
I think it's it's something that always needs to be there because you know,
we're not sure what would happen if it is not there in my opinion,
but um yeah, I think I think, you know, it needs to
be there and something that it just happens, uh, with the way the
game's played. Okay, Like most hockey players, you like your golf in
the summer. What else you got going on in the off season, Kyle,
Uh, yeah, Like it's a lot of golf, a lot of
training back on the ice now and uh, but other than that, in
my downtime, I'm pretty much you know, hanging out with my dogs,
uh, you know, walking them down here and uh, enjoying them and
spending more time with them, and in the rest of the family and man
fiance as well and family friends. Just trying to you know, obviously during
the season, I've been closer than I have in the last couple of years.
But um, you know, for me, during the season, I
try to go into a season mode where I'm not you know, bouncing around
and you know, getting pulled in different directions. So I'm trying to catch
up with friends and family and just trying to relax and kind of be a
normal person and just enjoying my time off. Well, you got yourself some
well deserves stability. Kyle, thank thanks so much for doing this. We
sure appreciate it. Oh, I appreciate you guys. Thanks for having me
on you bet Kyle Burrows of the San Jose Sharks as he leaves the Canucks
after a couple of years. And look, you can look at this,
you know, from a hockey point of view, three years, over three
million dollars total. Okay, in terms of hockey terms, is that the
you know, the the richest contract in the world. No, but you
think of what he's been through all that perseverance, You've got himself some stability.
Like I said at the end of the interview, it's a great story,
Rick, Yeah. And I'm gonna tell you something else. The Canucks
tried hard to resign him. They went back and forth, they really did.
But the issue was the term the third year, Donnie. That's that's
what the problem with Vancouver was term. And he got the term and he
got a good contract in San Jose's good for him because you know what,
when you fight the way he doesn't take on some bigger guys than you.
You can't buy that at the hockey shop. That comes from the heart,
and he's a heart and soul guy. They will miss him. They will
miss Luke chen Glue guys that if every team everywhere needs, it's going to
be a tough loss. And give him what he's been through all that time
in the minors and a seventh round draft pick, you can understand why he'd
want term on his contract. Yes, right, absolutely, Donnie, he
wanted It's not like the Canucks were right there. They were going back and
forth. They just broke down at the end. I didn't ask him this,
but Kyle played Langley minor hockey. He's twenty seven year it's twenty seven
years old. Danton Hyden also played Langley minor hockey, also twenty seven.
I'm not sure if they played together, but my understanding is is that the
Canucks could be interested in Danton Hyden. Yeah, so the Canucks they got
they're over the cap right now. Donnie's signings are tough. They gotta move
they gotta move money out to sign anybody now. And a couple of guys
they'd like as maxim comtois and also a Danton hid and the Langley kid Donnie.
So but it's it's done. They're over the cap. Tucker Pullman's an
LTI R candidate. They're over the cap. But to get anymore right now,
they'd have to clear a cap space from Danton. Hinen played for most
recently, among other teams, Pittsburgh Penguins and Pittsburgh Penglins. Will update the
poll question next. Thanks for tuning in, folks, Donnie and donning the
team on Jack, Donny and Dolly. The team is supported by able Auctions
dot c aslos in your business where you can helm. Oh now we are
talking. Oh, you don't know who desisted jc DC. What are you
talking about? Betting? I mean I got in that poll question. This
would be a good entrance song for the Canucks. Why not you really said
that to me? You know I'm a huge ac DC guy. But there's
a second there where you're confused. This is the music the Canucks need in
the pregame and going in, you know, along with Patrick and Patrick NZ.
Nothing like a good bagpipe when I pump weights, I pump weights to
this. Okay, Hey, what are you laughing at? Are you serious?
I get the the ghetto thing going in the belt blaster and the ghetto
thing the blaster and I put the ACD Nick Daliwall's workout team. Can you
I gotta set on and too, no, I gotta set up in the
basement. I pump weights. But it's always the CDC. Will you get
this shit? Turn it off? Ryan? No, no pumping This would
be a great What does this remind you of? This song? School the
Rock? There you go at the end? Come on? Of course,
so good Rick has School, but it features the bagpipes money talk and yet
it works. He wouldn't think it would work. Other great bagpipe songs discuss
Scotland, The Brain get back to me, go Paul, turn it down,
Ryan all right, dar Bet ninety nine dot Net poll question. I
loved this part right here. Yeah, the backpipe, Yeah, beautiful,
beautiful Bond Scott playing them on the truck in the video or whatever it was.
This is great stuff. Maybe they could have a piper in Roger's arena
do it live? Yeah? Well not well. One of my great concert
moments was malokn Tire. Paul McCartney had beat to place pipe bet and he
brought in that. Oh my god, it was just just I was.
I was in tears, such a good song. Can we get to the
poll question our Bet ninety nine dot that pole question, which of the Canucks
signings on Saturday was their best? And fifty five percent? Susy leading the
way, No surprise here, Cole comes in next and blueger way out there
at ten point seven percent. Well again, I'll say it. They better
hope that Susy is the best of the signings given the fact that he's the
only one with term. Yeah absolutely, and he's and and Donnie, here's
something else for you. He's got a no trade clause in all three years
of his contract. Here you go, there, you go Oliver. Our

Get all the details at poets Cove dot com. Quick recap of our top
story today and then we'll get into the BC alliance And that's what we focused
on in our poll question and what the Conocks were up to on the weekend
with three NHL veterans deciding to sign with Vancouver and they had a clear mandate,
Donny get bigger, harder to play against, blockmore shots and proved the
PK. They did all that stuff, all the stuff they wanted. Guys,
they did as Susie Cole Blueger, They're all here and they're gonna help
the thirty second worst penalty killed, worst in the league, historically horrible.
Derek, Let's take a look at the board of the projected lineup, our
projected lineup for the Conocks. At this point, of course, you're mentioning
some things like Dantenhein and other players they might be interested in. But for
now, Pederson between Kuzmenko and McCay, have Miller, between Beauvillier and Besser,
Blueger between Detasepi, who Rick talk at Loves and Garland a mob between
Patkolson and Joshua. And then of course you know the jury's out, and
something like Tanner Pearson his health. Sheldon drives, so I like remembers the
fight he had near the end of last year. Studnika, I love him.
Sheldon drives. Who knows what? Nils Huglener, what are you talking
about? You turned your nose up at him. I brought him up when
he was playing with Besser. I said, Besser needs a playmaking center man.
And okay, so that wasn't it. But Sheldon Drives. Everybody loves
him. Well, how can you all love him? My only apparently we
don't love because we haven't got one of the top four line only because the
four lines Donny with this board is Pod Colson at ninth overall. He's got
to play higher up in the lineup. I mean, you've got him,
what a key player he is this season. Key, But you've got him
starting out on line four, right off the hopper and and so what do
you seek for the Canucks. He's got to play higher in the lineup.
When you pick ninth overall, you gotta pick a difference. Man. No,
you can't pick a guy that you got on the fourth line. You're
Runny, Cap, You're right there. But you know, players have to
adjust. And at this point, I'm wondering if how much offense there isn't
put holes in this game, maybe he has to be a middle six or
bottom six guys. Sometimes I'm just have to adjust. I did not adjust,
and that's why he's on waivers today. Defense, Derek, if you
don't mind and goaltenders a damn coo of course number one. We'll see what
happens with a backup goaltender spot. We're throwing coal on the right side with
Hughes, a left hander. He likes playing on the right side. Susy
with Heronic on pair number two. And then for now a guy that we're
all so impressed with, Akeya Harrosi who signed a two year deal way two
way deal, two year deal on the weekend. With Myers, who as
of right now is still a Vancouver Canuck. You've got to a well Lanin,
Breeze Bough, Irwin signed on the weekend, Mcward, Rathbone, Jolson
and who knows with Ethan Bear also possibly in the mix. What I like
here, don is that all these guys from abspur short last year, they
could play at the NHL level. So if injuries hit, if the Canucks
get hit hard, they had a ton of guys come up in the second
half last year, Donnie. The Canucks ended up with eight eight nine guys
injured last year. In the last game, these guys like well Landon and
Breeze Ball, they all came up and then Jules and they did a good
job. Yeah, I didn't notice the difference between them and the regular group.
There wasn't. I didn't think there was much difference. Mean nothing games,
but those were my thoughts. Okay, CFL today, big game,
biggest game of the season so far, last time all for the Lions.
That was a big game. This is bigger. I think a lot of
people forget Toronto Argonauts, the Fanny Great Cup champions. So the Lions are
in Toronto this afternoon. Both teams unbeaten. Lions three and oh, Argos
two and oh. One of our favorite interviews on this show is Lions receiver
key On Hatcher, who had over a thousand yards receiving last year five touchdowns.
One of the Lions real and there's a lot of them, real dangerous
weapons. He returns to the lineup. He's had injury issues, hasn't played
so far this year. But here's key On talking about getting back into the
Lions lineup today in Toronto. It's been tough, man, just just the
fact that you can't be out there with the guys making plays and not being
able to play the game that you love to play. You know, um
having to sit out watch everybody having fun. You know, it's like everybody
going to the Kenny store getting Kenny. But you you know what I'm saying.
But you know, time's over, time's up, and it's time to
get to work. What's your role in this offense? What can you bring
plays? Big plays, make plays? Um second third down conversions, red
zone. Um, whatever you need me to do block, it really doesn't
matter. I got it all for you. M man. Um, we're
a very good football team. That's what I can say. Um, we
got pieces everywhere, we can do everything. Um. I really don't see
any shortcomings with us and anywhere. As long as we stay healthy and you
know, stay focused, we're gonna be good. Yeah. So you think
their offense would improve today because not only is Keion coming back, but so's
dominic rhymes. They're three and oz and not only their unbeaten team, but
they've got themselves some really cool looking bucket hats. They're they're in. They're
in the Donnie and Dolly League. I would say, yeah, three and
o versus two an old big CFL game today in Toronto. Let's go to
break now, big news, a huge Canadian story DTMZ is coming up as
we go to a break. Lion's head coach Rick Campbell, friend of the
show, talking about his team being three and oh and not letting that record
get to his players heads. We talk about being confident but not comfortable,
and you should never be comfortable regardless of what your record is is. Any
team can beat any team in this league. The thing I trust with our
guys is they've shown up every day to work so far from the beginning,
so I think they have they have a good understanding that a lot of work
needs to be put in each week to win games. And they understand that
our first three wins weren't just because we showed up and it just happened,
as there was a lot of work that was put into it. So as
long as we have that mindset that we understand the work that needs to be
done, then you know we'll be okay. Able Auctions specializes in helping British

we get to our big story on DTMC, I watched the movie BlackBerry on
the weekend. Yeah, with Jay Barrischell. Really good, really enjoyed it,
like the start of the smartphone. Yeah really you remember a BlackBerry Canadian
company? You don't seem that interesting. I was gonna watch it the other
day and I backed out and then so anyways, listen, Yeah, it's
a good movie. I'm gonna check it out. I just remember how big
of a deal that was with a farhand. It was one of the last
whole we're gonna we got friends in the show tomorrow because the keyboard. Yeah,
that was such. He loved himself some BlackBerry when nobody else rejected.
You watch you watch a show like a Sorry Ryan, but you watch a
show like Entourage, which was in the two thousands. I think that the
meat of it was and they make a big deal, but you're you're nothing
without a BlackBerry. BlackBerry, then the motor of the razor, then to
the iPhone, that's the motor roller. Razor was was very no, very
small window. Yeah, but he was very popular. Okay, let's get
to the show, because I know what you're excited about this. Both of
you are. So it is Derek. He doesn't show it, but I
can tell. On Canada Day over the weekend, Rolling Stone released its list
of the top fifty Canadian rock and roll artists of all time. The top
ten in order number one Joni Mitchell, followed by Neil and Young Rush what
are they Thinking? Leonard Cohen and Drake the Band did number six again really,
followed by Shania Twain the Weekend, Alanis Morris, Set and Selene Dion
Gordon Lightfoot, the Late Great Gordon Lightfoot at number eleven, did not crack
the top ten. Brian Adams, but Leonard Cohen did top that. Yeah,
we're gonna talk about Brian Adams in a second. Top BC artist Carly
Gray Jepson at number fourteen. Brian Adams was thirtieth. What Lover Boy thirty
second. I will give them props for this. They had DA Vancouver's DA
with Joey Keighley at number thirty eight. Great good on them for putting the
DA on the list. Other insults bto didn't make the list. This is
this is one of the biggest bands in the world in the seventies. No
matter what Ryan says, neither did Trooper. The same goes for Nickelback.
Now. I know there's a lot of Nickelback haters out there, but albums
say ells and like when they played the Gray Cup. I haven't seen them
play live, but when they played the Gray Cup, clean, smooth rock,
it was nothing wrong with it. Guess who was the slap at number
twenty six. They should be in the top ten. Bar Naked Ladies forty
five. Justin Bieber came in at seventeenth. Wow, and the band that
we're listening to in the background. Pump it up a bit there, Ryan
the Hip Tragically Hip at eighteen. Now. I don't know if a Canadian
came up with this list. If a Canadian came up with this list,
or if there were several Canadians in on this, I would imagine the hip
would be a lot higher. But if you're down to the States or anywhere
else in the world, maybe you don't realize how important the Tragically Hip are
musically to the people in our country. I'll give them props for April Wine
making the list too at forty seven. But all these lists, I think
the Rolling Stone knows what it's doing. They'd like to needle people. Yeah
like. And also with these lists, they love the poet types. Yeah
right, Joni Mitchell and Leonards singer songwriter, singer song well, Nil Young's
a singer songwriter. He should be number one, but you know they like
I don't. I'm just I'm not smart enough to get Leonard Cohen hallelujah.
Okay, I'll give him that one. Drake at number five. They also
had it was Brian Adams, not yeah, you've lost all credibility, but
ban Adams. He didn't make the top twenty five. Brian Adams is in
the top five for me for crying out loud, like what are they who's
doing this? They also missed Burnaby's very own Michael goodness. Come on now,
that's ridiculous, that's insane. And Sloan is on the list that one
good song you know me, I mean, come on, what the like
I need to look like what who? Who's the panel? Yeah, they
just said they didn't name an author it was it was done done by Rolling
Stone, written by Rolling Stone. Yeah, like like a staff. Now
you are right. All of their lists always have they like to throw in
ye no weight, like the top five hundred songs. I believe number one
was Day in the Life by the Beatles. I can see that, but
there was others in there, like ninety nine Problems by jay Z. I'm
like, come on now, yeah, come on now, yeah, No,
they want to create discussion. But Lightfoot, I mean, you'd think,
just based on the fact that, first of all, incredibly prolific,
based on one song Loan record the ad men Fitzgil but he just passed away,
you'd think he'd be more front and center ladies even Yeah, but again,
if you're not Canadian, and I don't want to sound snobby here,
you might not get how important they were to this this country. Are you
saying they should be lower high or oh no, no, oh yeah,
yeah, hold on, don't don't I know all your shots to Toronto.
That's where they're there from Scarborough, I think, but the that's a big
band. No, no, we we I think we're saying the same thing.
You believe. Forty five is what I believe. They should be in
the top twenty. Yes, okay, soon Why when I think lower?
Because this list is fifty at the top, one at the bottom, so
I say they should be lower. I don't want to knock anybody from mission,
but currently way Jepson at fourteen, that's really nott BC artist Honeymoon Sweet
not on here by the way? Okay, where's uh? Oh? I
was gonna Platinum Blonde? No they didn't make Sorry what sorry? Men without
hats and lenn what not on the list? Plantingum blonde and Honeymoon Sweets.
That's that's your wheelhouse. That's the Queen's Park, a little Ricky back in
the day. Are you kidding to what? They're great bands? That's five?
Yeah. I'm just scrolling through this now. I'm just like shaking my
head. Man, there's some bands in there I haven't heard of, So
can you tell us who's picking them? Something like some guys your panel.
Are they Americans? Probably, well, there's probably, Well I think they
get all I think hold on it. So I think to get an outside
perspective is important. Right. Hey, listen, these guys were big ride.
Okay, I didn't know that. Okay, put them on the list.
But the hip at eighteen is is not not good? Okay, um
birthdays. It is July third, we have four days left before we go
on vacation. I'll still be working here. You guys, Derek to do
up a countdown clock that we can just throw up on the screen every down
and then Donnie know they vacation countdown, No, because then it makes it
seems seem like we don't enjoy doing that. That's a good point. Yeah,
you know, because if it was up to me, I'd rather working
here at all summer YouTube and Derek as well. Okay, you guys want
to take a holiday, so I said, okay, we have seven birthdays
on this July third. The line is set at six by Rick's Boat Bundles
and Tours in Harrison, Hot Springs, Great Weight, Great Weight, rock
and Roll. Here here we go. Demand from the Ottawa area drafted in

Also there are other locations Guilford Mall, Metrotown or Towahson Mills. Heathery're in
Victoria. Is it just me? But I like this approach from Alven.
You can't expect to go from a bottom ten to the Stanley Cup final in
one season. Make the playoffs this season, keep improving your lineup each year
and maybe contend in three years or so. I think a lot of people
feel that way. Thank you, Heather in Victoria. What you got?
Look at this? Is it just me? Last year we were a soft
team to play against Has that changed with any of the new signings, plus
no longer Burrows and Senn calling from the Caribou h that's a question. I
got a lot on the weekend. Are they tough enough? Darny um?
You know, fightings down, but you still need guys like Burrow and Schenn
to protect your star players. You know? Do they address that blooger?
Seems like a pain in the ass to play again. So I like that,
And I haven't seen Cole. I should have seen Susi fott Miller last
year when the Seattle pay. So there's that, there's that possibility they are
a lot bigger and we all know that when it comes to defenseman Rick Talkin
loves that. What do you got Hyuh, it's just me hey. Patrick
Alvin said there was a lot of players that he had to say no to.
Was Troy Stetch or one of them? Am and Richmond. I don't
believe the Canucks checked in on Stature this time. They did last year,
Donny. But Stature got one hell of a good deal back in Arizona one
point one million. That was one of the real interesting takeaways from Patrick Alvin's
interview on Saturday, that he thought, he said, he claims that a
lot of players checked in with the Collucks. One guy, one guy.
I'm gonna tell you Connor Clifton, the Canucks checked in on him. He's
a New Jersey native. But he had Vancouver number one on his list to
go to and I asked his Asian why and he just said, beautiful city,
loves it, Okay, beautiful city. And there was a lot of
the hints that a lot of players and agents like what's happening from a coaching
staff point of view, Yeah, especially when it comes to defenseman and you
know, foot and guard being absolutely along with Rick Tockett a break will update
to the pole or finish off with the poll question and the show that's next.
Donny denied the team on check. I'm reminded the drop kicked Murphy's had
a plenty of bagpipe songs. That's from Cam in Victoria, Thank you,
cam bete dot napp pull question, Ryan, get her up our bet ninety
nine dotneap bull question, which of the Canucks signings on Saturday was their best
and leading the way comfortably? Is Carson susy Ian Coles as Teddy Blueger.
It's really Theodore I think his name is Theodore, but they call him Teddy.

De Lanny's Okay, Tarn Langley inbox Creed East Van. Is it just me?
Or Ryan is right? NHL needs to reevaluate its cat model to invigorate
fan engagement. There's a reason why NBA trade deadline and offseason owns the NHL.
No one cares about some third liner being created for a fourth round.
Pick yep, I think people Vancouver care about a third line center and Teddy
Blueger. But it's a good, good point by Creed. I think you
wait a year and things will change when the escrow situation change changes and COVID
is more in the rearview mirror. At least the pandemic is more in the
rearview mirror. Empty buildings, oh for sure? What else? Is it?
Just me? No disrespect to Teddy Blueger, but I'm still concerned about
scoring from the bottom six mark and north Fan is one hundred percent correct.
You know, scoring from the bottom six has been an issue for a while
in Vancouver, and the Blueger's here to help with the penalty kill no question,
Donnie, but that production from the bottom six might be an issue.
Stale Douggie. This could be from Ryan? Is it just me? I
could care less about whatever music has played, Just turned down the volume.
How old is Dougie, I'm wondering. Okay, that's it. Craig Button
