north for a long time. Doesn't
matter, where's the sunshine? You know

16
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:21.719
what next is June. Thanks for
that update on the calendar. Canucks in

17
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.120
Nashville on Friday, two days between
games here four o'clock Pacific start. I

18
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.560
mean, we want to get this
information out about our playoff postgame show.

19
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:38.680
Donnia Dolly. Playoff postgame show will
air immediately but not necessarily on check TV.

20
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.120
Ryan, you have the details on
that. How are you I s

21
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:49.079
So the details on this are due
to a conflict with we the Fortunate Jeopardy.

22
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.519
We are planning on being live moments
after the game on check Plus,

23
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.319
the Checkplus app, as well as
on YouTube. If you have a smart

24
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.120
TV, any kind, Apple TV, anything like that, you can either

25
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.439
watch us on the YouTube app or
download the check Plus app, which,

26
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:07.960
by the way, you can watch
every one of our shows through as well.

27
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.319
So we're goen. We be streaming
live in both those places. We're

28
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:14.680
also going to have our audio stream
which we normally have for the show running

29
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:19.960
at the same time, so we're
streaming only at around seven o'clock, ten

30
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.759
to seven something like that, as
long as everything goes normal with the game.

31
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:27.000
Overtime though, will change things,
but would would change things, so

32
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.719
there's a chance we'd be on at
eight or after eight, depending on how

33
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.039
long the overtime. The bottom line
is, this show will not be on

34
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.360
check until at least eight pm.
If you want to see us live immediately

35
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.039
after the game, catch us on
traditional television streaming service. Yeah, okay,

36
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.560
and then it'll be replayed actually tomorrow
night as well late. And thanks

37
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:47.479
for that, because you know,
Rick and I can. We don't just

38
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:53.680
streaming stuff and Apple stuff. I'm
out. I'm out. Okay, I'm

39
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.000
out. We've had tons of people
on the on our YouTube streaming it,

40
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.360
so I appreciate that everyone in the
chat so far it's been fantastic. No,

41
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.680
it's it's been just a tremendous response. We can't thank people enough.

42
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.800
Okay, So, cannucks in Nashville
on Friday. Goaltenders, what's going to

43
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.960
happen? I just assume Archer Sheeloff's
is going to start, but that not

44
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:16.599
necessarily the case. Rick, what
you what are you hearing? So?

45
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:22.520
Rick Talkott had a media availability last
night in Nashville Donnie, and he was

46
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.439
asked about the goaltending and Sea Lov's
going to get his third straight start.

47
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:29.919
He said he is still working on
who's going to start and goal seeloves are

48
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.800
a Smith. But think about it. Don you want Nashville to prepare for

49
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.879
two goaltenders. You don't want to
give him a two day heads up on

50
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.319
who's starting goal, especially when you
know Talckett might be thinking and along with

51
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:45.080
Ian Clark. Ian Clark's got a
big say in that you know who starts

52
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.560
right, Maybe Ian Clark is saying
there's a you know, maybe we should

53
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.120
go back to the Smith. Don
you know de Smith in the last month

54
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.080
and I'm going to go back to
the regular season. Two huge wins,

55
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:59.080
the one in Edmonton to clinch the
division and then the one of course in

56
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.120
Nashville when he came in or sorry, when he came in after a demko

57
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.639
he had another big win. So
right outside and loss though, Yeah,

58
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:10.439
the Caducks are not ready to announce
they're a goaltender for Game six, and

59
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.919
it's very simple. They want to
it's game gamesmanshipped on. They don't.

60
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.480
They don't want that. They want
Nashville to keep thinking who's starting to that?

61
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:23.279
Okay, but is there not still
a health issue with Casey dismissed,

62
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.879
No, No, he was.
He could have played last game. He

63
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.079
backed up. There's no way don
he would have been the backup if if

64
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.680
if if he wasn't ready to be
the starter. So I I believe he

65
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:38.480
had the lower body injury, and
I believe it was very minor and he's

66
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.600
ready to go. There's no issues
here. Did you hear anybody, including

67
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:46.600
anybody on this show, complain about
Arcur he lost performance the last two games?

68
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.680
No, I didn't. You look
at the two goals that beat him

69
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.759
the other night in game five.
One was controversial. You could argue that

70
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.160
one shouldn't have counted, and the
other was through a maze of bodies that

71
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.800
you know was understandable that that that
went in. Yeah, it was a

72
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.079
well placed shot by Carrier, and
you got to give him credit for getting

73
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.199
it through. There was only a
little space and he got it through.

74
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.399
Selvs has been excellent. He's twenty
three year old. Twenty three years old,

75
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.079
Donnie, young kid. He's not
showing the nerves and as as as

76
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.800
Pocket keeps telling everyone, he's not
allowing the big moment to get to him.

77
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:24.600
So that's a good thing for a
goaltender, a young goaltender, both

78
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:30.519
goaltenders, those two goaltenders obviously that
Thatcher Dempko's on the shelf, both both

79
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.600
one and one both have won in
Nashville. Yes, and how great for

80
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.839
the Caducks to have two goaltenders that
you know, your starter goes down and

81
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.959
the world was it was supposed to
be all over demp Goo. The Caducks

82
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.560
have lost Dempko series over the Caducks. Can't you know? They can't get

83
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.680
through the injury a Demko. Both
these guys have been great since they've come

84
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:55.480
in. Yeah, I mean that's
the positive here. Yes, they're up

85
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:59.920
three to two in the series.
Hard for some people to remember that,

86
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.680
you know, given the way things
have gone on the fact their favorite to

87
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:08.879
win this series. But they are
up three too, and I think what's

88
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.000
happening with the goaltending situation? Again, positive, we try to be positive

89
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.800
around here, you know me,
mister positive, mister positivity. Is this

90
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:21.399
speaks to some organizational depth that they
didn't have not that long ago. Even

91
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:26.800
in Absberg, they're down to their
third string goalie Sachenko, who's been good.

92
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.920
They didn't win last night, but
he's been good and he's been in

93
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.959
the starting position for Abspur down there
and he's been good. So all the

94
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:39.439
way through they've had good organizational depth
and goal abbits for losing its opener in

95
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:46.240
the series second round Series AHL two
Ontario last night down in California's three to

96
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:51.240
one, Maxison got the loan abitspe
and Vasili pod Colson four shots team high.

97
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:57.720
Also we wanted to show this as
well, focusing again on Game six

98
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.079
between the Canucks and Nashville and Tennessee
to more a clip from Predators reporter Alex

99
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.519
Doherty. We've had him on the
show. If we're not right, we

100
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:10.079
haven't had him on the show.
Who am I thinking of? Obviously not

101
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.120
Alex out of Nashville. We had
our good pal Max herbs Okay, which

102
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.959
is nothing like Alex. Well,
in my mind it is this so you

103
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.879
know what, though it was there
was a tweet from Alex we have shown.

104
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.600
Oh that's why you think. There
you go. There's a lot going

105
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:27.480
on here. As you know,
Alex was. None of it has to

106
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.319
do with work. Alex was the
one complaining about coming to Vancouver to try

107
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:36.879
and really embrace hockey and there was
a country music fast hotel. He was

108
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:41.040
not exactly thrilled about that. Well, I'll tell you what Alex has complained

109
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.800
about as well, Because I was
looking through his Twitter account over the past

110
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:49.120
couple of hours and the travel between
Nashville and Vancouver. We mentioned the distance,

111
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:53.800
what was it again, But it's
not so much about the distance,

112
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.560
it's that there are any direct flights. And we know people in our business

113
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.519
have not not complained, but they've
mentioned that that's what they have to go

114
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.720
through. It is there no direct
you know, I know he used to

115
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:09.120
be an airline pilot. God help
him. No direct flights. It's not

116
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.240
an hour away down It's not Toronto
or California. But there are you know,

117
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.879
two pretty uh significant cities. I
just thought maybe there would be.

118
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:22.319
My wife is going to Nashville next
week and she's going from Vancouver to Chicago

119
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:28.040
to Nashville coming home. She's going
Nashville, Washington, d C. Home

120
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.680
backwards. Explain that to me on
a map. That is some wild stuff.

121
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.960
Anyway, let's get to Alex's tweet. Yeah, we should. You

122
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.960
wanted to say something more about your
wife's travel to your point, Nashville is

123
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.600
booming, is a destination, and
yet in Vancouver's Vancouver, Like really,

124
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:46.679
I'm surprised now the tweet fine,
Alex Dougherty, And I don't even know

125
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.000
if I'm pronouncing his name right,
Okay, no, op, right there,

126
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.600
it's Dougherty. You could see it, how would you su it could

127
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.000
be Dorothy right, No, the
t's at the end, none of the

128
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:05.639
in the middle. Moving on,
Alex d with the tweet friends, reporter

129
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.200
Rick, you to the honors,
all right? You know how to pronounce

130
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.200
his name. I know him.
He's a good guy. Andrew Burnett says

131
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.120
Luke schen is still day to day
illness and says there's a little bit of

132
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.960
an illness going around the room.
Knucks were having the same issue. So

133
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.720
it's that time of the year,
I guess, and and Donny. As

134
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.320
we know with minor hockey teams,
one kid gets you know, with the

135
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.480
springtime. It's not just you know, it's everywhere any team, one kid

136
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.360
gets it and everybody gets it.
Well school. But I work he's throwing

137
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.720
that in about the Canucks because Myers
mis Game two with the flu was that

138
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.879
Edwards were there. I'm not hearing
that the flu is going through the Canocks

139
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.200
dressing room. I have not heard
that. That's what I was going for

140
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.360
here. I just don't see it. I haven't heard it. I don't

141
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.200
see evidence of it. You see
the Canucks posting videos and you know we

142
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.519
live in a Their Twitter account is
really good, don It gives you insight

143
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.039
into the dressing room we wouldn't have
had twenty thirty years ago covering a hockey

144
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.679
team. But I don't see you
see them in the post game after every

145
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.799
game. I don't see it.
And I've been told that the flu is

146
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.879
not going through the team. And
if you can see that tweet again,

147
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:15.399
if you don't mind Ryan Doherty,
it is Doughty Doherty. Yeah, yeah,

148
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.000
so I was way on Orty.
If you were off, Dorty was

149
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.480
not even close. How would do
you think he was closer than me?

150
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:26.480
I just looked it up. As
we move on, is there any chance

151
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.799
Andrew bannann is saying this sort of
thing as part of what you just talked

152
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.360
about, James, You know what, we're not one hundred percent here.

153
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.480
I don't know how we're gonna do
whatever it takes, right because because coaches

154
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.519
I always remember a laying Vino talking
about this. You know, even if

155
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.840
it's just the most minute thing the
league is. This is back a while

156
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:48.840
ago. I think the league's even
more even these days, there's more more

157
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.799
parody it just the littlest thing could
make a difference. So maybe, you

158
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.320
know, maybe it's Andrew Benette saying, hey, you for one hundred percent,

159
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.240
even though they they might very well
be except for Luke jan Yeah,

160
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.000
I don't know why you throw the
Canucks thing in there. I just don't

161
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.240
know why he's put that in the
tweet. It's because of the Myers Game

162
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.840
two. But I just again,
don I am not hearing the Canucks dressing

163
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:15.360
room is ravished with the flu.
I have no ideas as we move on

164
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:20.600
looking ahead to UH Game six in
Nashville on Friday, I have no idea.

165
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.519
I don't know if you do know
if Ryan does even even Derek there,

166
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:30.480
And I just see even Derek,
because he's a technical person, doesn't

167
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:35.320
necessarily involve himself in the sports conversations. All he blows you guys away when

168
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.639
it comes to guessing birthdays. But
I have no idea what to expect.

169
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.639
Like, honestly, you look at
all five games so far, and the

170
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.519
road team has won all all the
last four game, last four game.

171
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.639
It's not like Vegas and Dallas,
where you know, up until last night

172
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.600
the road team had won all the
games. But you look at all five

173
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.840
games so far, all of them
could have ended differently. Canucks in the

174
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.559
in the first game they win,
they trailed in the third period, of

175
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.480
course. Game two, Pretz win, they gave up eighty four shot attempts.

176
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.240
Game three, Canucks on the road, just twelve shots. They win.

177
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:16.879
Game four, Canucks down to late
two goals with a goaltender pulled.

178
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.679
They win in overtime. That could
have gone the other way. And then

179
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:26.200
you know, last game, the
Predators trailing, won nothing on the road.

180
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.600
Canucks had a won nothing lead and
they booke their the third period.

181
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.399
So I have no idea what to
expect. These are like Nashville finished ten

182
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:39.200
points behind the Canucks in the regular
season. But this, this series has

183
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.840
been way more even than I think
any any even the biggest Knuck fan thought

184
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.240
it would be. And your bang
on and but we did expect six or

185
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.799
seven games, and that's what we
got. Nobody expected a sweep, Nobody

186
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.600
expected this over in five this everyone
predicted early six or seven. That's what

187
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.919
we got. On The biggest thing
that I did not again, I think

188
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:03.919
so I did the majority of people
in Vancouver picks. I did not see

189
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.559
anyone predicting a four, maybe five, but six or seven. I saw

190
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.679
a lot of people predicting the Canucks
and six or seven. The thing that

191
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.799
has surprised me is the lack of
Canucks gools twelve goals in five games,

192
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.639
and you saw what the shots and
shots last in the eighteen They're only averaging

193
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.399
eighteen shots. I'm very surprised at
a team that scored at a very good

194
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.200
clip during the regular season. I'm
very surprised. There's only one guy going

195
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.720
Besser, and he got his four
goals in those two games in Nashville.

196
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.360
The other one you saw the Owners
last night, Donny twenty two goals in

197
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.919
five games. Now the Owners are
shitting back and they beat the Kings.

198
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.080
They got the winner. They are
gonna get their rest Edmonton's gonna get the

199
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.200
rest, and then they're gonna hope
and pray for Nashville on Friday night because

200
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.440
they need these two to go to
seven games and you know, knock them

201
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.759
out go seven games and with that
travel, that's what the owners are wishing

202
00:13:54.840 --> 00:14:00.279
for. Oilers advanced five against the
LA, clinching it last night. Their

203
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:05.120
power play is working out forty five
percent, their p K one hundred percent.

204
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.720
And last night they get two goals
right after a power play had ended,

205
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.759
so it might might as well have
been a power play. This's just

206
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.039
and they've got some pretty good players
five offensively five Canucks were four and oh

207
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:24.440
against Edmonton this year. Just remember
and that goes back a bit. Okay,

208
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.679
Well you mentioned that you mentioned the
game, lay, are we to

209
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.279
ignore that? Ryan? You're gonna
ignore that? Rick? How did they

210
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.759
do? But you're gonna Rick,
how did they do against Nashville in the

211
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.559
regular season? The Canucks? What
was it? Well? They were they

212
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.000
did very well. Yeah, thanks, thank you very much. Now,

213
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.960
but all those games were before December
and before well, the majority of the

214
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:52.200
games you were talking about against the
Oilers games early in the years. Gonna

215
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:58.360
have in Edmonton October one, that
to clinch the division three four weeks ago,

216
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.039
October eleventh, October fourteenth, November
sixth, and then April thirteenth.

217
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.440
Come on, happened to mine?
When you preview a series, you always

218
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.039
ask how did the two teams do
in the regular No? Not, and

219
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.200
so many times it means nothing like
this series here. Yes, but we're

220
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.639
supposed to ignore that they Yes,
you could talk about it and say it

221
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.039
means nothing, Bryan. They beat
them eight one, Yes, scored and

222
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.200
in October nineteen fifty nine. Yeah, but got three power plays, fired

223
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.840
their best had four goals in that
game. They fired their coach. It's

224
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.559
I can't even uh, we can't
come off. But in the back,

225
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.320
we're not even there yet. They
got they got to get past. That's

226
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.480
a very good, very good point, very good point. Okay, we've

227
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.879
got We're gonna hear. We hope
to hear from Rick Talkeett and yesterday's media

228
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:52.200
vail. Okay, down in down
in Nashville. That'll be later DTMC is

229
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.879

235
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:25.320
Kristin Covington from Vancouver has played the

236
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.240
he has signed with the BC Allions. Farhank can talk about that and about

237
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.720
what's happening with the Canucks. He's
next. Thanks so much for tuning in,

238

six oh four for Giants. Just
before we get to Farhand, logy from

245
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:18.799
TSN A day from Lake College,
and why aren't the Canucks putting big Zed

246
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.400
as a net presence on the bar? Play have EP forty on the point

247
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.640
filtering risters through. I think maybe
you want Quinn Hughes there, as what

248
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:33.599
they are presently doing is the definition
of insanity. We had people talking yesterday

249
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:40.000
about replacing Pedersen with Heronic, although
some people are down on Heronic as well.

250
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:42.880
Let's see what Farhand thinks, he
joins us from Tsan Farhand. Thanks

251
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:47.079
for doing this, sir. How
are you? I'm good. How you

252
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:52.400
guys doing very well? Any idea
what to expect in this series? That

253
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.680
were in game six, maybe a
game seven. We talked about this in

254
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.559
the first segment of Farhand. Every
game could have ended differently with a different

255
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.000
result, with a different team winning
very easily. Any idea what to expect.

256
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:11.759
I expect very few Vancouver Canucks shots. I expect probably very few Vancouver

257
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:14.880
Canuck goals, whether or not it's
enough to win the game. I mean,

258
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.240
they can still win a two to
one hockey game. I don't think

259
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:19.240
that. I don't think that would
shock anybody. I'm not suggesting to lose,

260
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.240
but yeah, it's just the margins
have been so fine in this series,

261
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.359
and you're right, I mean every
one of them, as much as

262
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.799
the Canucks, you know, scored
those two late goals in Game four and

263
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.160
really stole it. Certainly Nashville stole
Game two, and you know game I

264
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.440
thought Game five was pretty even,
but certainly the Canucks had the lead,

265
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.960
and we know how good the Canucks
are when they have a lead. I

266
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:42.920
wouldn't expect a ton of power play
goals, right, It's not like Nashville's

267
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.960
power play was snapping it around.
They got a fortunate goal. You know,

268
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.039
they could have been called back.
It kind of almost came against the

269
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.039
run of the play. It kind
of came out of nowhere right when you

270
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:53.440
when you really look at it in
terms of how the game flow is going.

271
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:57.200
So it's hard to know what to
expect. You know, I've always

272
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:02.039
said momentum is fleeting. There doesn't
exist in the playoffs. So I through

273
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.400
Nashville, you feel pretty good,
but you probably felt horrible the other day

274
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:07.640
and you came back. So maybe
Vancouver can flip the switch the same way

275
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.200
or flipped the script the same way
here. Do you think the Canucks have

276
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.000
come close to playing their best hockey
in this series or does that just say

277
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.839
a lot about Nashville. Look,
you got to give Nashville a certain amount

278
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.480
of credit, but like Nashville is
not a team that has prevented shots all

279
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.240
season. I think they were the
tenth worst in the league. They were

280
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:26.559
giving up over thirty shots a game, so the Canucks should be able to

281
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.359
generate more. But I think the
Canucks are playing good defensive hockey, right.

282
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.720
I mean, you also look at
a national team that was scoring really

283
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.799
effectively out of the All Star break. Their power play was really effective out

284
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:38.839
of the All Star break, and
the Canucks have taken a lot of that

285
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.319
away. But you know, the
problems we saw with Vancouver late in the

286
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.680
season with what their their own power
play looked like and how little they were

287
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.240
generating offensively, I think that's kind
of rooded ugly head along with just the

288
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:55.279
tightness of playoff hockey. So it's
you know, the problems we saw late

289
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:57.119
in the season that a lot of
people decided to dismiss and say, hey,

290
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.599
let's just get to the playoffs.
Probably not real, right, you

291
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:04.359
know, And it just it reminds
me so much of twenty twelve guys like

292
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:07.519
I and it just shows that we're
all aging here. But you go back

293
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.839
to twenty twelve and the Canucks,
we're scoring less coming out of the All

294
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.839
Star break, and we would go
into talk to Hendrick and Daniel and they

295
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.240
would tell us this is how you
got to play in the playoffs, right,

296
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.759
these low scoring games are setting us
up for the playoffs. And saw

297
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:23.559
what happened in that first round,
right, So I just think we're seeing

298
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:29.839
a carryover. We're seeing a carryover
with Petterson, you know, even the

299
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.000
Lindholm Joshua Garland line, right like, they look so good in Game one,

300
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.359
got the overtime goal. But in
terms of you know, in terms

301
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:41.000
of consistency of generating pressure and things
like that, there's only one line and

302
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:42.880
the Canucks have going right now,
and that's the Miller line. They're active,

303
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.640
they're noticeable. Everybody else has been
quiet. Somebody's got to step up

304
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.880
tonight. All right, Canucks fever
in town. We know this. But

305
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:56.319
the BC Lions with a big move
as well. Side Christian Covington nine years

306
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.400
in the NFL. He's a home
boy, you know, Vancouver College.

307
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.480
His dad's in the CFL Hall of
Fame. Grover, your thoughts on the

308
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:11.279
Lions signing a pretty significant name.
I think it's big, I really do.

309
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.319
And you know, you can debate
what the Lions did or didn't get

310
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.240
out of the draft, but knowing
that they had this in their back bucket

311
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:19.759
to announce the next day, I'm
sure had something to do with some of

312
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:23.079
their decisions. And I just got
off a conference call with Christian, you

313
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:26.759
know, who I've known since he
was literally in the third grade. And

314
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:27.599
I know you guys are going to
have him on a little bit later,

315
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.400
but you know, the one thing
with him is that he just believes he's

316
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.880
got a lot of football left in
the tank. This isn't a victory tour

317
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.279
right where he can just, you
know, call it quits at the age

318
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:41.400
of thirty one a year from now
after playing one year in the CFL and

319
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:44.880
having it like that, So he
still wants to play some more, whether

320
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:48.640
all of that is here or whether
or not it parlays into an opportunity back

321
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:51.160
down there, you know, who
knows. But I think he's hungry,

322
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:53.519
and I think he's motivated, and
he's not like just an NFL player that's

323
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:57.680
come up here that thinks it's going
to be easy. He understands what this

324
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:00.880
league looks like and knows it a
good league. And his dad, having

325
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.000
had the success that he had,
certainly gives him every bit of education that

326
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.359
he needs. And the legacy of
his father and his family name also matters,

327
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.480
right, So I do think that
he's proud and he's going to bring

328
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:14.400
that pride with him to the Lions. And I think it's said it's a

329
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.400
massive addition for this team in this
d line that lost Matthew Betts. I

330
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:19.759
think you got to feel great about
being able to roll Christian Covington out there.

331
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:25.839
You know, the Lions drafted Covington
in twenty fifteen. They never let

332
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:27.920
go of his CFL rights, and
then they kept in touch with him,

333
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:30.799
and then a couple of months ago
Covington, you know, called the Lions

334
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.559
and said, hey, you don't
want to You know, I talked to

335
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.039
my dad and one now I know
why the Lions drafted in the CFL draft

336
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:41.119
THEO Benedette second round, despite the
fact he sided with the Chicago Bears.

337
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:45.480
What did you think of that draft
pick? Didn't like it? And let

338
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.400
me let's be clear, I love
the player, right, Like if everybody

339
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.759
thought THEO Bennett was going to play
in the CFL, he probably would have

340
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:53.880
gone number one overall. So I'm
glad they took him. It was smart

341
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:56.319
in business, just not in the
second round. Like look at where they's

342
00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:59.960
a Christian, right, so you
know, and he's not a case of

343
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.759
they didn't let go of his rights. Like if you're a drafted player,

344
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.359
his rights are maintained unless he ever
comes up here signs a contract and then

345
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:08.680
gets released. So that was just
theirs and it was fortunate, you know,

346
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:14.079
Christian, Let's let's not call the
unusual the norm, right, Like,

347
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.200
this doesn't happen, Christian. You
know, most guys play nine years,

348
00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:18.519
they make their millions, they don't
want to do any more damage to

349
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.319
their body, and they're done with
football before they come back to the CFL.

350
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.440
So this is not the norm,
and and it's worked out for them.

351
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:29.160
If it's me, I take THEO
Bennett and round four, round five,

352
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:30.319
you know, and if he ever
comes back, great, But I

353
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:33.759
mean he got a significant signing bonus, so he's going to at least be

354
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.400
in the NFL for a couple of
seasons. You know, in the aligneman

355
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:40.160
get a longer shelf life. Like
you look at a guy like Carter O'Donnell,

356
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:41.880
who you know, spent five years
down there, he didn't get a

357
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.079
sniff of game action. And now
he actually got a little bit of time

358
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:49.440
with the Cardinals last year because those
guys have a little bit longer runway to

359
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:55.119
develop, especially now with expanded practice
rosters in the NFL. So again,

360
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:57.240
love THEO Bennett the player. Let
me be clear, and if he ever

361
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:00.880
comes here, call me wrong,
that's great, right, like if he

362
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.480
comes here in any short order.
But to me, if I was the

363
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:04.960
Lions, I would have taken him
a little bit later. That was a

364
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:10.720
really good defensive lilignment with a lot
of upside named Luke Brubaker from Wilfrid Laurier

365
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:12.680
who got taken with the next pick. And also understand the Lions had the

366
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:15.599
nineteenth pick, so you know,
which was a bonus pick. They could

367
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:19.359
have potentially gone with THEO there.
Nobody else was going to take him in

368
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:25.359
between. So again, great player, but I'm not sure I would have

369
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:29.960
taken him that high. Let's talk
about the NFL Draft for a second.

370
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:36.279
Last week on this station, you
made a prediction or a forecast that the

371
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:41.839
Patriots were going to take Drake May
out of North Carolina quarterback. You didn't

372
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:47.079
like that idea. They lo and
Behold went out and did that. Do

373
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.119
you still feel the same way?
Do you still feel they they made a

374
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:55.279
big mistake, keeping in mind Nathan
Rourke is there as well, not factoring

375
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.400
Nathan Rourke in at all, like
a separate discussion. I hated the Patriots

376
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:02.440
taking a quarter of back in three
and I have tons of questions about Drake

377
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:04.279
May. Drake May misses a lot
of the easy throws, right, Like,

378
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:08.000
he's got so much physical talent.
He can run, he's big,

379
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:11.759
he's got a strong arm, he's
got so much of that. But there's

380
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.440
a lot of easy layup throws,
shorter throws that you just like, simple

381
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:19.880
ones that he misses and down the
field. His numbers against man coverage are

382
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:26.119
not good, and I don't necessarily
like his decision making in critical situations.

383
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.440
So just tons of tools would make
any scout drool. But the film has

384
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:33.920
as many questions as it does greatness, so I'm not a fan. And

385
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:40.079
then from a patriot perspective, that
roster's horrible, right whether you're whether you're

386
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.799
Jacoby Brissett, whether you're Drake May, whether you're Nathan Orke, it's gonna

387
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:47.519
be tough to have success with the
lack of offensive weapons that New England has.

388
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:49.079
When you look at some of these
other teams, like the Bears,

389
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:53.480
like the Vikings, their rosters are
set up to bring a quarterback in,

390
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:59.400
put them in the greatest possibility to
succeed and take advantage of his rookie salary,

391
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:00.400
right like, you got a great
team and a quarterback and you can

392
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.160
you can prop them up. And
you know, the Patriots were not ready

393
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:07.960
to take a quarterback at that spot. Like the player, if he is

394
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.720
forced in early, is going to
fail. And and yeah, I mean

395
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.920
they're gonna be back in the spot
next year. So hopefully they do the

396
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.880
right thing by Drake Mann, letting
Jacoby Brissette play and not throwing Drake made

397
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.599
of the Wolves with a terrible team
around him. Okay, far ahead as

398
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:27.119
we let you go here. You
can tell your bosses at TSN that if

399
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:32.319
the Canucks advance and they play the
Oilers, that the Canucks will win that

400
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:36.759
series because they beat them a couple
of times in a core time four and

401
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:41.240
oh that that means according to Rick, that means that sweep the Oilers.

402
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.839
Tell your boss that, but we're
just going to ignore that. Look.

403
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.519
Rick also thinks every player should get
paid big. We know this. I

404
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:53.880
I wonder why the door off Milstein
keep an eye on it, get paid,

405
00:26:55.039 --> 00:27:00.680
ironic paid. No, he and
Cole I have clearly said heronic asking

406
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.119
for eight million is ridiculous and too
much and the conduct shouldn't do that.

407
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:10.039
Okay, but that's because you're setting
the conducts have to pay seven point seven.

408
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:12.480
That means he doesn't get along with
Ronic's agent. No no, no,

409
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:17.599
no no no no fire. Thanks
for this. See boys, tell

410
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:22.240
your bosses. Yeah, okay.
Up next is who is a nice?

411
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:25.119
By the way, Oh, it's
open. We haven't introduced the poll question.

421
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.279
question has to do as you might
expect with the Predators and Canucks. Here's

422
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:26.279
one of Victoria's favorite pubs where you
can enjoy twenty taps, twenty screens your

423
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.079
home for the Canucks and UFC comp
sit and stay at the dog today,

424
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.720
Rick all right, ry get her
up the waddling dog pop pole question?

425
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:37.759
Should Nikita is a door off be
more of a priority for the Canucks to

426
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:45.079
extend than Philip peronic a wopping?
Seventy six percent say yes and uh twenty

427
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.440
four percent say no. Already twelve
hundred votes. It's hoping, it's popping,

428
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:52.880
it's not stopping, it's it's going. It's a good question, keeping

429
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:56.920
in mind that it's a different situation
here. Nikita z a door off UFA,

430
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:03.799
Philip Paronic r f A restricted Delaney's
okay. Taron Langley inbox has been

431
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:08.079
full of complaints about Philip Heronic.
Oh, a lot of criticism. And

432
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:11.799
I think what's at play here?
And I know you disagree with this,

433
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.200
but you know, here's somebody looking
for a lot of money. Yeah right,

434
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:19.119
you talk to his agent, I
think right, And he's looking for

435
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.720
a lot of money and that plays
into it. People expect expectations. Well

436
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.279
now you're agreeing with well, we's
you know what Peterson, The contract asking

437
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:32.200
demand obviously plays into it. Don
But he's asking for each according to you,

438
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:37.440
people just criticized because he doesn't start
making six till next year. But

439
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.440
but he's at four point four right
now. I think Coronia is and he's

440
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:44.839
asking for over eight, which is
the Canucks are nowhere near that. If

441
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:48.480
the Canucks thought eight million was okay
for heronic data sign the deal by now,

442
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.880
the fact that deal's not done tells
you they got some serious issues about

443
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.279
saying yes to that. Nikita's a
draw off as a cult hero, right,

444
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:02.200
Oh, forget forget about cult.
Everybody in Connivation loves this guy right

445
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:07.920
now. He's been outstanding the playoffs
and when they what they acquire him in

446
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.920
November, right, and I thought
he was really he's obviously noticeable given his

447
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:15.920
size. Whether he was bad or
good in Calgary, I think he's gotten

448
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.920
better. And I think that says
a lot about Adam Footen, most Serge

449
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:23.400
Gonshar and Rick Tockett. And look
at how much he's being played by Rick

450
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:29.440
Hockett in the postseason and how effective
he's been and how much the crowd loves

451
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:33.400
him. Guy sells tickets on top
of everything. At top of being effective

452
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:37.200
on the ice, He's great for
business. He's had clearly the biggest hits

453
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:40.759
in the series. He had a
team leading four for all defense. My

454
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:45.079
last game. JT. Miller had
all players with seven hits last game.

455
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:49.440
But look at the hits on one
on McDonough oh one, and look at

456
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:53.400
the hits on Look at the twenty
one minutes last game, his minutes from

457
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:57.559
the regular season to the playoffs.
Look at his minutes. But I keep

458
00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:00.920
saying this year, and I'm sorry, you're gonna have to say this to

459
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:06.599
Knuck fans. He's a left shot
defenseman. The Canucks have Susie and Hughes

460
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:08.799
with term and money on the left
side. They're set on the left side.

461
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:12.480
Don they don't have issues on the
Susie can play right. I'm gonna

462
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.440
get to that. But look at
the right circle, Cole, the Heronic

463
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:21.960
RFA, Myers UFA. They are
playing a left shot defenseman, Cole on

464
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:25.279
the right side and juleson a right
shot defenseman, is sitting out. Their

465
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:27.920
issues are on the right side.
They need to stable the right side,

466
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:32.359
and that's where the money's gonna go. It's not gonna go to the left

467
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:36.039
side of the defense, unfortunately for
zador Off. And here's the other one

468
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:40.359
for you Milstein. You know,
Milstein's he's licking his chops right now.

469
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:42.880
He's gonna get away. He's gonna
get big offer, He's gonna get offers.

470
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:47.359
There's gonna be a lineup to get
zador Off on July first if he

471
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:51.359
doesn't sign in Vancouver, and Milstein
is looking for term and I'm not talking

472
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:53.839
three or four years. I'm talking
term, and I'm talking big term.

473
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.759
And he's gonna get over five million. He's licking his chops. Caducks can't

474
00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:01.440
do that. Caducks can't have him
five you know. And then what are

475
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:05.079
you gonna do with the Myers?
What are you gonna do with Theronic?

476
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:08.960
It's a verybe somebody else moves on
from that left side. That makes he

477
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:15.920
makes allows you to fit zador Off
in. And a couple of things.

478
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:20.920
Number one, Quinn Hughes is having
a Norris Trophy caliber season. Yes,

479
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:24.799
likely to win the Norrith Trophy.
I think we've all we would all agree

480
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:31.839
with that. Who's his partner for
most of the season. That helps his

481
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:37.519
his negotiations, no question about that. The other thing is, and I'll

482
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.359
let the cat out of the bag. You know, you go on and

483
00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:45.839
on about the Canucks getting Brandon Dylon
from Winnipeg. He's a hometown Caddy said

484
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:49.680
UFA, No, and we brand
is the nicest guy in the world.

485
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.119
Like you know, he's been such
a solid hockey player for so long from

486
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.519
Surrey. He shoot right or left. Oh he shoots left. Five But

487
00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:59.720
that's okay. Can't get him.
Just stop. He's not gonna get five

488
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:02.400
play million, don He's going to
be at a lower rate. He's going

489
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:06.119
to be at a much lower rate
than the door off. And the other

490
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.680
thing you made a good point of
ironic. You have to give him credit

491
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:14.200
for being a right shot first pair
d in Vancouver and playing with Quinn Hughes.

492
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:15.839
You could put ten guys with can
use Quinn Hughes. They may not

493
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:20.079
have the skating and they may not
have the hockey sense to play with Quinny

494
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:23.319
Hughes. He's pulled it off.
Give him credit. But you also are

495
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:28.000
going to outprice yourself in the market, and that happened with Borehovett. What

496
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:31.000
happened with Horvett, Donny trade it. If you outprice yourself in any market,

497
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:35.640
the possibility of a trade is there, and that's something we have to

498
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:38.279
look at. If he continues to
ask for a you could also argue this

499
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:42.960
is stretching it a lot, that
you could put a pylon on the right

500
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:49.599
side and it would do well with
Quinn Hughes on the left side. I

501
00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:54.119
wouldn't go that far. I'm joking, right, but hey, remember BJ

502
00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:57.720
McDonald, I you you were gonna
say that. Remember what they said about

503
00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:00.000
BJ McDonald. Who said it,
Glenn say that? Yeah? Yeah,

504
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:05.200
because BJ scored fifty plus goals with
Wayne Gretzky in Edmonton in the eighties.

505
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:08.039
Yeah, Fire Hydrant, I think
that's what say. Either said a comparison,

506
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:12.280
he was fifty with Gretzky. Okay, there's some news in Ryan Henderson.

507
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:16.079
You can thank help us out and
we thank you for this. The

508
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:22.159
watch party tomorrow at Rogers Arena.
It's been in an off and on situation

509
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:28.679
there because of concerts, but it's
on again tomorrow four o'clock. You understand

510
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:31.920
the response has been overwhelming. It's
so overwhelming that it's sold out there.

511
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:36.360
You go, wow, it is
sold out. They put tickets on sale

512
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:40.079
like later yesterday. That is when
I saw the release and then it was

513
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.679
announced this morning, the Canucks announcing
that it's sold out. The only thing

514
00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:46.639
I don't know. He is at
eighteen thousand, I don't know. I

515
00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:51.360
don't know what exactly that means.
How many tickets they put on sale.

516
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:53.119
Did they put upper and lower?
Did they just put lower? I'm not

517
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:57.840
sure. Them saying sold out though, leads me to believe it's the whole

518
00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:01.159
building only because if it wasn't the
whole building, they would have just been

519
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:05.360
adding on. They would have said, hey, lower bowls sold out like

520
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:07.960
they did. I think for the
first the first game, the only other

521
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.639
watch party, Hey, Louris bowls
that sold out. We're now selling into

522
00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:13.159
the upper down. And that's what
they did. So yeah, the second

523
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:15.400
second road game, there was a
con there was a concert there that was

524
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:20.239
who was the Timberlake? That was
Timberlake, Yeah, Timberlake. Yeah,

525
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:23.719
so that was not possible for they
lowered the scoreboard. It's it's quite an

526
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:28.760
exten I believe they handed out towels
and the whole thing and the concessions are

527
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:30.960
open. Yeah, I mean I
knew fifteen Bucks. I knew a few

528
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:35.440
people that went, and you know
it was they said it was a really

529
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:39.639
good atmosphere inside and the main theme
with everyone going was, Hey, this

530
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:44.599
is our way of feeling like we're
part of this Knuck playoff run because we're

531
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.519
never gonna be able to This is
our way of being able to afford going

532
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:49.519
to Rogers. Does that mean,
yeah, you're never gonna be able to

533
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:52.840
afford getting into an actual game,
so at least you're in there being able

534
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:55.440
to, you know, have the
vibe within the Knuck fans while watching the

535
00:35:55.480 --> 00:36:00.679
game. I got at home man
cave zoned in. Well not right now?

536
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:06.679
Well here, yeah, we're here
usually get what I'm talking about.

537
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:09.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah, same, But I mean there's there's fans out

538
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:12.360
there they enjoy this sort of thing. Yeah, they enjoy the vibe.

539
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.239
Yeah, and you know there's hard
enough of a vibe by myself. Yeah.

540
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:19.360
Well, and I know you'd usually
do what a great hockey market,

541
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:22.639
though not every not every city could
do this. They can't, I'm sorry,

542
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:24.000
but if you did the viewing,
the Canadian cities can do this.

543
00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:30.320
And also, uh, a Canadian
city that has been deprived of the playoffs

544
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:34.159
for nine years, you know,
because of you know, COVID the playoffs

545
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:38.360
that that didn't count, but nine
years of a fan base that got denied

546
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:44.280
and now just a really good story. They have celebrated like this since that

547
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.480
eight win or eight one win over
Ebinson and stop it, stop it.

548
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.920
Uh, I'm gonna do Able Auctions
here. We're gonna talk about about our

549
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:55.000
title sponsor. We're gonna do some
business and then we're gonna hear from Rick

550
00:36:55.039 --> 00:37:04.239
talking to break Elis Kitchen and Bath
in pent Elis Kitchen and bathicted. It's

551
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:08.280
gone bankrupt. They weren't selling enough
product, I guess, and Able Auctions

552
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:13.880
has been instructed to sell it all
late model wood shop equipment, including an

553
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:20.079
omnitext and seat. You're good omnitext
CNC router. You see that button beside

554
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:23.440
you, the cough button. We
got to fix the button. Come on,

555
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:27.760
no, I pushed it. Look
I put it hard like put that

556
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:36.199
on auction. Holds her, That's
what it says. Here, I know

557
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:39.840
I don't get it. Here holds
her sprint edge bander, a Gatto Matt

558
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:45.039
CNC parametric drill and clamping machine,
high end compressors. I'm looking for a

559
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:47.960
faucet here, what's I'm looking for? Tubs? And uh, you know,

560
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:55.920
shower screens. What's going on?
Shower screen shower curtain, curtain curtains.

561
00:37:55.960 --> 00:38:02.079
Anyways, I didn't see any of
that. A Niederman central dust collection

562
00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:07.679
system, uh, delivery trucks,
and a whole lot more. I guess

563
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:13.239
this is what Maybe that's what they
went out of business. Hey, we've

564
00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:17.880
got a kitchen in bath story here. We also sell dust collection systems.

565
00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:22.199
What's going on here? They've got
to build. This is like a custom

566
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:27.199
company, right, Okay, so
they've got to build the stuff they need.

567
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:30.679
So they're the ones building the tops. Well not the top maybe necessarily.

568
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:37.119
But when you hear kitchen and bolence, you're thinking toilets, shinks.

569
00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:42.199
I'm not often dust collection systems.
If your pipes, okay, pipes,

570
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:50.360
well that's true. But if you're
building cabinets, yeah, for information on

571
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:54.559
this cabinet shop bankruptcy auction or to
get your cab cabinets now it makes sense,

572
00:38:55.119 --> 00:39:00.159
right, or to get your cabinet
shops yuess they should have pre read

573
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:04.599
this. Huh. To get your
cabinet shops sold at auction, go to

574
00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:09.719
abele Auctions dot CAA, b l
E Auctions dot c A. As we

575
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:14.360
go to break here, I'm gonna
hear from Rick Talckett just as we get

576
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:20.320
ready for Big Rye, the quitter
guy. Nashville better on the road,

577
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.480
and we've seen evidence of that.
They won two games at Rodgers Arena in

578
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:27.920
this series. Better on the road
than at home during the regular season Canucks,

579
00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:31.519
and much better at home than on
the road, but still solid on

580
00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:37.679
the road road twenty three, fourteen
and four fifty points on the road for

581
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:40.800
the Canucks. Excellent in a couple
of wins in this series. I talking

582
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:45.440
mentioned last night in Nashville that we
are a very good road team. Yes,

583
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:50.039
we're gonna hear from him in the
second law as I mentioned, very

584
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:53.159
good road record this year for the
Canucks, as they as they just mentioned,

585
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:57.400
so Ricktockett, as we go to
break get ready for Big Rye.

586
00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:00.840
Rick Talckett on winning two games in
Nashville so far are and being very comfortable

587
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:04.800
away from home. Yeah, we've
been a pretty good road team all year,

588
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:08.960
So I think we're comfortable playing outside
our building. You know, sometimes

589
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:12.880
we play actually better on the road, but uh, you know this is

590
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.440
a tough building. You know that
we know that there's a couple of games

591
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:20.039
there maybe we didn't deserve, just
like you know, we thought game five

592
00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:22.800
we deserve. So it's one of
those series that doesn't really matter. It's

593
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:27.159
who wins the game. And you've
talked about the closed out game of a

594
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:30.840
series and the hardest accomplish beyond the
obvious of just the desperation level of the

595
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:32.679
other team. What makes it so
difficult to get that done well? I

596
00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:36.599
think that obviously the desperation or the
other team is a big one, and

597
00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:40.079
I think you have to match it, and you have to be comfortable in

598
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:44.119
a tight game. I think that's
really important. You have a zero zero

599
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:46.199
late in the game, even if
it's one nothing, you know, going

600
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:50.119
in the third. I think you've
got to be very comfortable playing in that

601
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:52.360
and just you know, by your
time for your chances. I think sometimes

602
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:55.199
when you when you want to close
out, you push the envelope too much

603
00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:59.159
and the next you know you're giving
up Biden Man Rush its power plays,

604
00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:04.119
you know, and things like that. The Bayside Resort is a boutique luxury

614
00:41:57.760 --> 00:42:00.679
had a big ride the Twitter guy
Delaney's ok Tyran Langley inbox, and we're

615
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:06.960
getting a lot of this Phil and
Langley. I have a trip booked to

616
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:13.119
Nashville flying direct from Vancouver on west
Jet. So there are direct flights from

617
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:17.639
Vancouver to Nashville thanks to west Jet. We weren't aware of that. Everything

618
00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:21.360
we hear from people in our business, So what are people in our business

619
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:24.559
though that there weren't any direct flights. But it's not just Phil. There

620
00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:28.760
are other people in the Delaney's Okay
Aryan Langley inbox saying the same thing.

621
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:30.599
I'd be curious to find out when
Phil booked that, because I do wonder

622
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:34.239
because we've seen this with other places. Phil, We've seen this with other

623
00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:38.000
places as well. If a team
gets involved in you know, they'll make

624
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:43.000
accommodations. So that's a special route, right we saw a boy be that

625
00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:45.719
much demand. Well, I mean
they're I guess they're banking on it in

626
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:52.559
between media people like other people and
fans. I guess probably. Like I

627
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:54.920
say, I'm just surprised to start
a year round thing by now, because

628
00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:57.920
i'd like to go. I've never
been there. I'd like to go,

629
00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:00.320
not necessarily as a hockey fan.
You've never been there. I guarantee that

630
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:05.320
I have not. But you've been
to a honey talk right? What honey

631
00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:07.400
North? Didn't you you did some
line dancing? Right? Oh? Yeah?

632
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:13.280
Yeah? Half the bars are up
North or country bars? What about

633
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:16.280
the old wooden barrel in the US
Burnaby border? No? No, it

634
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:20.599
was right. He doesn't know anything
about New West. There was a country.

635
00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:23.280
No, I was a mugs and
jugs, uh, Chicago tonight.

636
00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:28.400
Casa Blanca's a type of guy,

00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:02.480

there? No? No, I

645
00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:07.039
told you not a country Western type
guy. So sad Rooster's was good and

646
00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:12.880
now it's been sitting there for like
dormant, pre pandemic, just chilling to

647
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:16.000
the bull there. Yeah, yes, and I believe you went on at

648
00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:20.159
topless. It was when the topless
bull riding I think was like Wednesday nights

649
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:22.440
or something like that. Yeah,
what I was never there for that.

650
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:27.760
It's a good workout. I maintained
no disrespect to anyone. I'm not exactly

651
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:30.440
fabio. The people that usually partake
in that sort of thing are people you

652
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:34.719
don't necessarily want to see topless male
or female. I'm not so sure I

653
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:39.280
want to see fabio. It'd be
better than some Okay, let's head to

654
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:42.639
Nashville. Now we're talking about the
direct flights. We're gonna go to that.

655
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:45.320
Speaking of a topless bull riding,
here's a tweet from Thomas Drants.

656
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:51.639
Uh oh, first, a bad
site. The Canucks are a scheduled to

657
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:54.880
practice in six minutes at Bridgestone Arena
in Nashville. Here's the first bit of

658
00:44:54.920 --> 00:45:00.360
infoy. Drants Casey to Smith out
on the ice ahead of practice, working

659
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:02.719
with Ian Clark, and you see
that photo there. This is bad for

660
00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:06.760
the podcast, so I apologize,
can't do that. He's doing the full

661
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:10.920
on stretch, the full on splits, so I mean that lower body injury,

662
00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:16.119
lower body injury is gone. But
the story here, the focus is

663
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:20.280
he's likely not going to be starting. Yeah, that's what you guys read

664
00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:23.199
into this right well before Game five, the practice or sorry of the game

665
00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:27.840
day. He came out early with
Ian Clark as well, so this kind

666
00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:31.519
of leads you to believe that Ian's
working with him. How's the injury,

667
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:36.159
you know, trying to get him
in you know, to come back from

668
00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:39.519
an injury. I think this tells
us the Sea Laws is probably getting to

669
00:45:39.559 --> 00:45:44.639
start tomorrow night, which I don't
think would be considered as surprise. No,

670
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:45.800
no, no, he's got the
hot hand. He's you know,

671
00:45:46.079 --> 00:45:50.239
he's won back or sorry. In
the two games he's played, he has

672
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:52.719
not looked bad. Donnie Solid,
I've got another tweet, and this is

673
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:58.119
We're gonna have to find out more
of this after practice. But JT.

674
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:01.000
Miller, and this is a piece
of video critics Thomas drants. JT.

675
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:07.280
Miller is wearing a pink patterned custom
practice jersey, which Murphy is now reporting

676
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:15.039
is actually Arthur Sea Love's dress shirt
that Miller for some reason is wearing for

677
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:19.679
today's practice in Nashville. So maybe
they're, you know, trying to have

678
00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:23.679
a little fun. Everything's okay.
They're still off a game in the series,

679
00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:29.119
so we'll obviously have to wait for
more after practice. But I like

680
00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:32.400
it. That's leadership. That's a
veteran guy. You know, he played

681
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:37.079
in the Eastern Conference Final with the
Rangers. Yeah, but there's a guy

682
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:39.920
that's got some playoff experience, and
I still think he's the emotional leader of

683
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:45.000
the Caducks. I don't you're alone
on that. Oh no kidding, but

684
00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:47.159
he is. So you're not alone
on that. I'm not alone on that.

685
00:46:47.199 --> 00:46:51.440
I know that he is for me, the emotional leader. He's the

686
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:54.039
guy that puts the team on the
back. That's a great move. Have

687
00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:59.320
you seen this Gretzky clip the Tallahassee
Smith clip. No, no, it's

688
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:01.760
really good. It's from the T
and T broadcast. They got to nowhere,

689
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:07.920
pressure filled situation. They were the
oilers were on the road and say,

690
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:15.280
there brings in this cowboy, this
old grizzled cowboy for a inspirational wow

691
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:20.480
speech Tallahassee Smith out of nowhere.
It was so outrageous. Everybody laughed and

692
00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:23.239
loosened them up and on they went
to another Stanley Cup. It's quite good,

693
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:27.400
and same sort of thing, you
know, just do something outrageous and

694
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:30.199
just just loose. It's, you
know, quick, it's not that serious

695
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:34.119
a game. Let's focus, let's
win. Yeah, yep, yeah,

696
00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:37.960
no, definitely definitely good movie.
Okay, you know what I'm gonna call

697
00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:42.079
a little bit of an audible.
Derek only played this second clip, not

698
00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:44.360
the first clip, just the second
clip. I don't know if you guys

699
00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:46.119
have seen this Matt Hilton story.
He's a bee keeper. Hold on,

700
00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:50.880
I need the crow. Ah,
I should have had some bees instead.

701
00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:55.719
So the other night, Tuesday night, Diamondbacks Dodgers, two hours delay because

702
00:47:55.840 --> 00:48:02.480
bees gathered behind home plate. Here's
playing to the crowd, this bee keeper.

703
00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:07.039
He comes and he gets rid of
it. Look this massive quality of

704
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:10.760
bees. Yeah, the Dodgers game
delayed two hours. There he is sucking

705
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:16.599
them up after smoking him out.
So again, this guy's having the time

706
00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:22.800
of his life. They end up
asking him to throw out a new first

707
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:25.519
pitch because the game had been delayed
for so long two hours. So he

708
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:30.599
throws out the first pitch, and
he was at his son's t ball game

709
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:34.440
when he got the call that he
had to go out perfect and help out.

710
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:37.880
So a lot of people are He
had a media conference, a press

711
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.440
conference as well. After throwing out
the first pitch. People are having a

712
00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:44.559
lot of fun with it, including
the folks at TOPS. How about this.

713
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:50.000
They've signed a deal with Matt Hilton
and they're making autograph cards from his

714
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:54.639
all time great performance get Away again. So they're having again. Tops is

715
00:48:54.840 --> 00:49:00.679
very good at doing customizable fun cards. The other night, New York Mets

716
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:05.480
sold the most amount of loony dogs
in history forty forty two thousand, something

717
00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:07.400
like that. And they've had a
card now from that game. They're having

718
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:12.599
fun these little collectibles, right.
But this Matt Hilton, and he's a

719
00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:15.880
confident guy. If you look it
up, you see some of his clips

720
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:20.400
where he was talking about he was
playing to the crowd. The spotlight felt

721
00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:22.159
hot on him when he was trying
to get rid of the bees. Just

722
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:25.159
this whole thing. But it was
a scary sight and they had to evacuate

723
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:30.559
the entire section behind home plate because
the colony just kept growing and growing and

724
00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:32.800
growing. And then they delayed the
game. They made the announcement two hour

725
00:49:32.960 --> 00:49:37.119
delay. So scary stuff. I
don't forget. Remember that Indian Wells tournament

726
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:42.119
a match tennis match. Remember there
was the bees during that, like a

727
00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:45.199
month ago, and they were just
flying all over the place that it was

728
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:47.000
like all of a sudden, these
bees came in. It's a scary thing

729
00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:50.760
and bees. I don't like him. And of course I tell my famous

730
00:49:50.760 --> 00:49:54.559
story little Ryan in the day,
Oh yeah, in Fleetwood, hit by

731
00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:59.559
a bike, youngster. I'm a
youngster hit by a bike. You were

732
00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:02.519
walking. I was just walking.
My buddy was on his bike and he

733
00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:07.679
was just you know, riding around. I'm not paying attention. I'm probably

734
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:13.000
like under ten. I get hit
by the bike. I'm crying walking home

735
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:16.519
to see you know, mister and
Missus Henderson. I get stung by a

736
00:50:16.519 --> 00:50:22.159
bee as well, So then I
just go on the level of being upset.

737
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:25.360
So that's my traumatic bee story.
So I'm gonna tell that to young

738
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:28.400
Max. You know, you gotta
be careful with these bees. They don't

739
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:30.760
mess around. So that Matt Hilton
was around, I would have been saved.

740
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:34.239
I would have been saved. Coming
up next, big eleven o'clock hour

741
00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:37.639
ahead, we've got newest member of
the BC Lions, Christian Covington, coming

744
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:47.719
we talked to John about that as
well as what's happening with the Canucks and

745
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:51.840
Predators and the orders advancing last night
as well. It's all ahead, Sonny

analyst Coast of the Bob McCollen podcast,

757
00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:52.360
and he joins us from Saint John's, Newfoundland, where he will be attending

758
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:55.639
the funeral for Bob Coole, the
late Great Bob Cole. John. Thanks

759
00:51:55.639 --> 00:52:00.800
for doing this, sir, making
time for us today, are you always?

760
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:04.400
I'm great. By the way,
if Toygo gave away a triple Oberger

761
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:07.360
with the hat, you'd get more
season ticket all due. Yeah, Well,

762
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:10.880
maybe he'll double up next year.
After that suggestion, Hey, John,

763
00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:15.280
in all seriousness, I would imagine
today Bob Cole's funeral, as I

764
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:21.679
state the obvious here will be emotional
for you saying goodbye to a friend,

765
00:52:21.719 --> 00:52:25.920
and as as a Canadian kid,
it'll be It'll be tough, Yeah,

766
00:52:27.239 --> 00:52:30.880
it will be. You know.
Visitation is today, funeral is actually on

767
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:37.880
Friday, so it's a family time
to connect with his former wife Karen and

768
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:44.639
the the four kids. It's fascinating
though, guys. You know, it

769
00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:49.400
was a week ago that we learned
that Bob had passed away. But because

770
00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:54.519
of technology and YouTube and social media, his talents and his skill and his

771
00:52:54.639 --> 00:53:00.920
passion for hockey have lived through this
week and we'll live forever. And it's

772
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:06.159
one of the great positives about being
alive in twenty twenty four. So generations

773
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:08.280
a lot longer than the three of
us can enjoy what Bob Cole did.

774
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:14.360
God bless them. We'll take a
tough turn here, John and talk about

775
00:53:14.360 --> 00:53:17.320
what's going on in the NHL playoffs, But just your opinion of the job

776
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:22.639
the Predators are doing, giving the
Cannucks so much trouble in this first round,

777
00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:27.599
Well, it's the only way they're
going to win. And when you

778
00:53:27.719 --> 00:53:32.440
compare the way the other series have
gone, the Oiler series, the Jets

779
00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:37.480
series, they're a lot faster,
and I'm sure the Canucks would like to

780
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:43.880
play a lot faster, but Andrew
Burnett has his team playing away that it's

781
00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:49.440
the only way they're going to succeed
and beat the Vancouver Canucks. And it's

782
00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:53.559
not pretty at times. But for
Predators fans, I'm sure they're quite satisfied.

783
00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:59.239
I still think and maintain the Canucks
will win this series. They have

784
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:01.800
better talent, they have a better
will to win in my mind, and

785
00:54:01.840 --> 00:54:07.639
that was the measure of Besser and
Miller in Game four. So this is

786
00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:12.840
just a matter of time and in
my opinion, postponing the inevitable of having

787
00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:16.000
a victory, which means we're going
to get a Canadian Canadian series in the

788
00:54:16.039 --> 00:54:21.760
next round, which means a Canadian
team will be in the final four.

789
00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:25.239
You mentioned Andrew Burnett there, and
we all know that he was ousted in

790
00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:30.559
Florida his first ground as a head
coach. What's the general consensus on him

791
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:36.400
as a bench boss? Oh,
I think that there's a few teams that

792
00:54:36.519 --> 00:54:42.000
interviewed Burnett after he left Florida,
and maybe even the Devils themselves who hired

793
00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:45.519
him as an associate coach that are
regretting that they let him go or didn't

794
00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:49.119
hire him at the time, he
interviewed very well for a few teams,

795
00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:53.960
and the relationship that he had with
Barry Trotz and with the city of Nashville,

796
00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:58.639
consider he played for the Predators,
I think one out. He's a

797
00:54:58.679 --> 00:55:02.000
modern day coach, understands what players
need and players want. He has a

798
00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:07.920
good tactical lie and he's also hard
fisted and heavy handed when he needs to

799
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:13.159
be. You know, the best
example of that is the discussion and decision

800
00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:16.599
that he and Trotz made about the
trip to the Sphere that seemed to have

801
00:55:16.679 --> 00:55:22.039
changed this fortune for this hockey club
earlier this season. But Andrew Bennett's a

802
00:55:22.119 --> 00:55:25.320
you know, it's hard to talk
about a guy being young in his forties,

803
00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:30.800
but Andrew Bennett's a good young coach. John whoever comes out of Vancouver

804
00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:36.559
Nashville, they're gonna have to be
really aware of the Oiler's power play nine

805
00:55:36.639 --> 00:55:40.119
for twenty in the first round against
the Kings. I mean, they didn't

806
00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:44.559
even give up a power play goal
that entire series five on five was even.

807
00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:49.599
But the special teams is the reason
they are moving on and the Kings

808
00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:52.920
are not. Well. You can
I don't have my notes in front of

809
00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:55.679
me, Rick, but I don't
think the Oilers allowed to a penalty power

810
00:55:55.719 --> 00:56:00.320
play goal for twelve. Kings were
all for twelve. Yeah, So I

811
00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:04.559
mean, not only was their power
play lethal and it didn't get credit for

812
00:56:04.599 --> 00:56:07.840
two goals last night that occurred two
or three seconds after the guy left the

813
00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:14.199
box, but their penalty kill was
very good too. It appears that this

814
00:56:14.320 --> 00:56:19.079
is an Evanson Eider team that has
come of age. Now it's five games

815
00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:25.320
and they have certainly dealt the King's
a big blow. But there seems to

816
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:31.400
be that extra effort that not only
are the Stars giving, but everybody's giving,

817
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:35.440
and they are getting good goaltending.
Stuart Skinner has been very good.

818
00:56:35.599 --> 00:56:38.519
That was a fluky goalie had to
give up last night at one one,

819
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:45.360
but Skinner's been solid through the whole
playoff series. All eyes on Toronto tonight,

820
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:49.320
We're told this morning Matthews and no
go Can they do it again?

821
00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:53.719
John the Leafs tonight? Why not? You know, Danton Heine is not

822
00:56:53.719 --> 00:56:57.480
going to play for the Bruins either. I'm not sure that that's a fair

823
00:56:57.519 --> 00:57:02.679
trade off if you're a Bruin fan. But you know, I actually think

824
00:57:02.760 --> 00:57:07.400
Rick that there's a ton more pressure
on Jim Montgomery right now than there is

825
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:12.199
on Sheldon Keith simply. And I
know it's fifty seven years and I know

826
00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:16.519
that it's heartache for Maple Leaf fans, But with no Matthews and William Leylander

827
00:57:16.559 --> 00:57:22.519
obviously is at one. Jim Montgomery's
been down this road before last year,

828
00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:29.519
up three to one, lose at
home in overtime at that both times,

829
00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:31.559
and then go on the road and
lose on the road, and then lose

830
00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:36.320
at home again. The only thing
I think that is in better shape for

831
00:57:36.360 --> 00:57:39.239
the Bruins this time is there isn't
a question who the better goalie is for

832
00:57:39.320 --> 00:57:43.639
Boston. We know it's Slayman.
He's going to play, He's going to

833
00:57:43.679 --> 00:57:45.920
be the key. And Brad mar
Shant, who has been a huge different

834
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:50.440
maker in the games in Toronto,
you have to think that he's going to

835
00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:53.840
be a difference maker tonight again as
well. Can you put into words how

836
00:57:53.880 --> 00:58:00.360
disappointing the Winnipeg Jets early exit was. Oh, it was shocking, And

837
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:07.760
if you hear the postgame comments and
then the exit meeting comments from the players,

838
00:58:08.159 --> 00:58:12.840
I think it was shocking to them
too. It wasn't for lack of

839
00:58:12.840 --> 00:58:16.239
effort. It wasn't for lack of
trying. Connor Hallibuck said, in fact,

840
00:58:16.239 --> 00:58:21.920
that he was really dialed in and
playing great goal and couldn't see the

841
00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:27.239
pocket times they were shooting it so
well. That talks to the elite level

842
00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:30.840
of five or six members of the
Colorado Avalanche. That we're playing at a

843
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:36.280
much higher, much more complete level
than anybody on the Winnipeg Jets. Again,

844
00:58:36.519 --> 00:58:39.920
not a criticism of the Jets,
but anybody in the Western Conference just

845
00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:44.880
beware. Colorado's focused like this for
the next round, in the round after

846
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:46.920
that, they're going to be a
tough out. This story is making the

847
00:58:47.039 --> 00:58:52.679
rounds even though we're into the playoffs. But can you envision Rod Brindemore,

848
00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:58.360
whose contract is about to end.
Can you envision him leaving Carolina? No,

849
00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:07.599
I don't understand the storyline coming out
now. Rod yesterday a local television

850
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:12.559
addressed it. He was very comfortable
in talking about it. You know,

851
00:59:13.559 --> 00:59:16.880
it's important to this time of year
to be able to compartmentalize what you have

852
00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:22.199
to do as a coach as a
player. And this is another one of

853
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:28.000
those times for rod Ridnemore that after
every post game now between the time and

854
00:59:28.360 --> 00:59:30.000
when they finished, the Hurricanes do
that. He's going to be asked the

855
00:59:30.039 --> 00:59:35.880
coaching question. But I would hope
that he's able to stay focused on the

856
00:59:36.840 --> 00:59:40.519
task at hand for the Hurricanes.
Rod Brindimore and the Hurricanes were you know,

857
00:59:42.119 --> 00:59:44.880
they were made for each other.
He was made for that franchise,

858
00:59:44.920 --> 00:59:49.559
he was made for that city.
I'd be shocked in some form of manner

859
00:59:50.199 --> 00:59:53.599
that he left at this key time. John, thanks for this and all

860
00:59:53.639 --> 00:59:59.519
the best of the Cole family,
and thank you boys. Have a great

861
00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:04.960
day, and yes we'll be thinking
about Robert cecil Cole. Thanks, John,

862
01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:08.840
appreciate it. Talk to you next
week. John Shannon on his way

again. You bet you've been on
our show before. What led to this?

881
01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:46.239
You must be excited? What led
to this decision? Christin? It

882
01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:51.840
was a lot of prayer, a
lot of just wisdom guidance that I took

883
01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:57.039
from my family. This just was
a moment for me to be able to

884
01:01:57.119 --> 01:01:59.719
continue, you know, this football
journey. You know, this game has

885
01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:02.199
given me so much, It's blessed
me with so much, and I just

886
01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:05.920
know I'm still I'm still at the
you know, top of my game right

887
01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:08.280
now. I have so much left
in the tank. I know, football

888
01:02:08.360 --> 01:02:12.039
for me is just I'm not done
with this game, and I know it's

889
01:02:12.079 --> 01:02:14.440
not done with me, and it
just so happens that, you know,

890
01:02:14.559 --> 01:02:15.880
I feel like, you know,
this is just a part of the journey

891
01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:20.119
right now, part of my personal
journey, this path that God put me

892
01:02:20.199 --> 01:02:22.800
on to be able to take my
talents you know, back home, and

893
01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:27.519
I'm just so glad and fortunate to
be able to, you know, suit

894
01:02:27.599 --> 01:02:29.360
up for the Lions. I never
thought, yeah, I never thought that

895
01:02:29.360 --> 01:02:30.480
this day would come, but here
it is, and I'm excited to get

896
01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:35.960
to get to work. Lions drafted
you in twenty fifteen at the CFL draft,

897
01:02:35.960 --> 01:02:37.599
of course, So how did all
this happen? And did you stay

898
01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:43.280
in touch with the Lions through the
years in recent years, Yes, I've

899
01:02:43.320 --> 01:02:46.559
been obviously I've been keeping i mean
keeping my eye on the team for many

900
01:02:46.599 --> 01:02:50.880
years. You know, They've always
had my support from you know, from

901
01:02:50.880 --> 01:02:53.039
the South, from the South,
and I've been a big fan of this

902
01:02:53.039 --> 01:02:55.599
team for a long time obviously.
You know, it's a team that I

903
01:02:55.599 --> 01:02:59.760
grew up watching, you know,
you know, whether I was at the

904
01:02:59.800 --> 01:03:00.800
game or you know, on the
television, you know, this is this

905
01:03:00.920 --> 01:03:04.960
team that's always you know, been
in been in my heart. And so

906
01:03:06.039 --> 01:03:08.320
just yeah, just you know,
fortune would have it that, you know,

907
01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:14.559
everything lined itself up to have me, uh, you know, have

908
01:03:14.679 --> 01:03:20.280
me give me the opportunity to you
know be able to play you know with

909
01:03:20.360 --> 01:03:22.039
you know in my home, in
my hometown, right in my you know,

910
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:24.400
right in my backyard. You know. It's just one of those things

911
01:03:24.440 --> 01:03:28.199
where I've been, you know,
for the past year and a half,

912
01:03:28.239 --> 01:03:31.440
I haven't really played, you know, in an organized game in the year

913
01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:34.719
and a half. You know,
the previous season, I was you know,

914
01:03:34.880 --> 01:03:37.559
recovering from a torn peck. Last
season, it was a humbling season

915
01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:40.440
of just being you know, on
a practice squad. And you know,

916
01:03:40.519 --> 01:03:44.559
even though I was you know,
in shape, still be doing football,

917
01:03:44.599 --> 01:03:47.320
It's just you know, when you're
not able to actually play. You know,

918
01:03:47.400 --> 01:03:50.599
it takes it. It could take
a toll on you from a mental

919
01:03:50.599 --> 01:03:52.440
standpoint, from an emotional standpoint,
because you know, I've been this is

920
01:03:52.440 --> 01:03:55.719
a game I've been playing since I
was eleven twelve years old, you know,

921
01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:59.119
So for me, this is just
an opportunity for me to be able

922
01:03:59.119 --> 01:04:01.920
to get back into the game that
I love. This is a game that

923
01:04:02.000 --> 01:04:04.079
I've been you know, as I
said, I've been playing since I was

924
01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:08.760
a child, and this is an
opportunity for me to be able to do

925
01:04:08.960 --> 01:04:14.000
so. Right to my hometown Christian
nine years in the NFL, Well,

926
01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:17.199
I wanted to ask you what the
perception of the CFL is down South.

927
01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:21.760
Did you ever talk to some players
who tried the CFL came down or maybe

928
01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:27.119
they asked you for advice. What's
the perception of the CFL down South?

929
01:04:27.119 --> 01:04:32.199
For NFL players? The CFL has
its respect at the end of the day,

930
01:04:32.239 --> 01:04:35.760
we know that this is at the
end of the day. Football is

931
01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:40.280
a difficult game. It is a
physical game. It's a challenging game.

932
01:04:40.320 --> 01:04:43.440
It meant it's not meant for the
week of you know, physically weak or

933
01:04:43.440 --> 01:04:46.280
mentally weak, and it's a game
that will test you to your limits.

934
01:04:46.280 --> 01:04:48.639
They will test you to your breaking
point. And at the end of the

935
01:04:48.679 --> 01:04:54.719
day, people know that whatever league
you're in, you are a professional.

936
01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:58.000
At the end of the day,
you are pro. You are playing this

937
01:04:58.079 --> 01:05:00.119
game and being compensated as such.
Now, you know, obviously you know

938
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:03.159
the you know, there is you
know, main differences between you know,

939
01:05:03.199 --> 01:05:10.239
the NFL, the UH just the
sheer numbers and the viewership and whatnot,

940
01:05:10.280 --> 01:05:15.519
you know, worldwide, But you
know there the respect is there for you

941
01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:17.519
know, the players, for the
league itself. I've played with so many

942
01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:20.719
guys who have you know, gone
back and forth between both leagues. Obviously

943
01:05:20.719 --> 01:05:23.840
this is going to be my first
time, you know, and you know,

944
01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:26.559
but it's it's also one of those
things where it's the league has always

945
01:05:26.599 --> 01:05:30.840
have my respect. It's always everybody
I've talked to is always you know,

946
01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:32.559
there's always been a reverence for it
because at the end of the day,

947
01:05:32.559 --> 01:05:36.920
it's like you're talking from one professional
to another. I know this this game

948
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:39.360
of football. You know, at
the end of the day, it's a

949
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:42.480
it's it's from a player's perspective,
it is a brotherhood and we you know,

950
01:05:42.519 --> 01:05:45.800
we it's A. There's not there's
not that many of us playing Christian

951
01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:50.280
and Donnie and I remember your dad
loved watching him on TV. He was

952
01:05:50.679 --> 01:05:56.559
obviously a CFL Hall of Famer.
Uh did he play a role in in

953
01:05:56.840 --> 01:05:59.480
you signing a BC, because I
think I saw a quote from you saying

954
01:05:59.519 --> 01:06:01.079
I talked to my dad about it, but I did. Did did that

955
01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:08.320
go down? I did? No? I just that was just a that

956
01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:12.039
was just me confiding in him,
right, my. You know, he's

957
01:06:12.039 --> 01:06:15.360
been my coach since day one.
He's been my mentor since day one.

958
01:06:15.239 --> 01:06:18.840
Anything when it comes to football,
I go to both him and my mother.

959
01:06:19.559 --> 01:06:24.400
They've been you know, my they've
been by my side through high school,

960
01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:27.639
through university as well as my you
know, NFL career, and so

961
01:06:27.679 --> 01:06:30.679
this is just something where I knew
that I was definitely going to confide in

962
01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:33.880
him, and he knew that this
is just a step in my journey that

963
01:06:33.920 --> 01:06:38.199
I wanted to take to be able
to continue with my playing career. He

964
01:06:38.280 --> 01:06:41.519
knows that I have he knows that
I have so much left in the tank,

965
01:06:42.599 --> 01:06:45.079
and he's yeah, I know,
he's thrilled from me. He's excited

966
01:06:45.079 --> 01:06:46.880
for me to be able to you
know, come into the league that he

967
01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:49.840
himself was able to you know,
dominate and make a name for himself.

968
01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:53.360
I want to, you know,
I want to do him proud. And

969
01:06:53.639 --> 01:06:58.280
and you've got the necklace there with
your dad's old number number seventy seven,

970
01:06:58.440 --> 01:07:00.440
Rick, and I remember that from
his days. So yes, Hamilton Tiger

971
01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:04.440
Cats when he was terrorizing the BC
Lions back of the day. Christian,

972
01:07:04.599 --> 01:07:10.559
Hey, you're you're looking lean,
you're looking trim. And there's adjustments that

973
01:07:10.760 --> 01:07:14.440
every player has to make when they
go from the NFL to the CFL.

974
01:07:15.039 --> 01:07:17.400
You know, the twenty second clock, there's that one year and off the

975
01:07:17.440 --> 01:07:21.159
ball. What adjustments do you feel
you have to make? Oh? So

976
01:07:21.280 --> 01:07:26.039
it was told to me by you
know, our you know CoA general manager,

977
01:07:26.119 --> 01:07:29.719
Ryan mcgrig maiden. Like, I've
had great talks with him these past

978
01:07:29.880 --> 01:07:31.840
weeks, and that was actually one
of the things he told me was,

979
01:07:31.920 --> 01:07:36.760
Hey, remember passing league twenty second
clock. We need you to get your

980
01:07:36.760 --> 01:07:40.880
conditioning right, We need we need
you to be able to get right.

981
01:07:40.920 --> 01:07:43.719
Hey, as soon as that ball
is thrown deep, you already know you're

982
01:07:43.719 --> 01:07:45.599
gonna have to get lined up and
get ready to go again. But again,

983
01:07:45.639 --> 01:07:48.519
those are just those are aspects of
the game of the CFL game that

984
01:07:48.559 --> 01:07:51.679
I've known forever. You know,
it's a it is a passing league,

985
01:07:51.719 --> 01:07:56.639
it is a bigger field a lot. You know, it's very explosive on

986
01:07:56.760 --> 01:07:59.360
you know, on both sides of
the ball. So this is just something

987
01:07:59.400 --> 01:08:00.920
that I know there are going to
be adjustments come training camp, and I

988
01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:04.679
know that I'm not going to be
ignorant to that fact. But I know

989
01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:10.760
from the perspective of being a Canadian
who's grown up watching this team, watching

990
01:08:10.800 --> 01:08:13.599
this game, I know the I
know the differences, I know the rule.

991
01:08:13.719 --> 01:08:15.920
I know there are going to be
real changes and it's just going to

992
01:08:15.960 --> 01:08:17.359
take a little bit of an of
an adjustment. But yeah, no,

993
01:08:17.439 --> 01:08:20.119
that twenty As soon as he said
that, you know, a twenty second

994
01:08:20.119 --> 01:08:23.640
play clock, you got the ready
to go. No, I took that.

995
01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:26.159
I took that to heart. Like
my last season with the Chargers,

996
01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:30.920
I was hovering around three hundred and
ten pounds three fifteen you know, throughout

997
01:08:30.920 --> 01:08:32.239
the seat. You know, really
the past two seed, the past three

998
01:08:32.319 --> 01:08:36.239
years with the Chargers, I was
like anywhere between my weight has been weird.

999
01:08:36.439 --> 01:08:40.560
I'm able to over my career,
I'm be able to fluctuate everything three

1000
01:08:40.640 --> 01:08:43.600
h five to three fifteen. I
heck, I've been three thirty in the

1001
01:08:43.640 --> 01:08:45.560
past. I will never be that
ever again in my life. However,

1002
01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:51.800
now I am to eighty, so
I am fast. I'm feeling explosive,

1003
01:08:53.439 --> 01:08:55.239
and I know that's I'm gonna get
said at the end of the day.

1004
01:08:55.239 --> 01:09:00.560
I know that's what is required of
the defensive players in the CFL. You

1005
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:03.199
said you sound excited. What was
the NFL experience like for you? Christian?

1006
01:09:03.279 --> 01:09:06.520
We hear about the grind of the
NFL. I mean, you're playing

1007
01:09:06.880 --> 01:09:10.760
at the pinnacle, at the top
of the heap, You're in the National

1008
01:09:10.800 --> 01:09:14.039
Football League, but it is a
business. What was that experience like for

1009
01:09:14.119 --> 01:09:17.319
you? Blessing? At the end
of the day, it was a blessing.

1010
01:09:17.800 --> 01:09:20.800
It was a dream come true to
be able to you know, come

1011
01:09:20.840 --> 01:09:26.479
from where I come from, to
go to the to go the route that

1012
01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:30.359
I went through with university, going
to Rice, to be drafted to you

1013
01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:31.960
know, play nine years. You
know, at the end of the day,

1014
01:09:31.960 --> 01:09:35.760
I don't take anything for granted.
It's been a blessing. It's been,

1015
01:09:36.720 --> 01:09:40.680
but it's also been eye opening due
to as you said, it is

1016
01:09:40.760 --> 01:09:44.520
you do see the business side of
things play out. I've you know,

1017
01:09:44.600 --> 01:09:48.079
seen that firsthand. It's something that
a lot of people are blind to when

1018
01:09:48.079 --> 01:09:53.680
they come into when they come into
league because they everybody, every it's everybody

1019
01:09:53.760 --> 01:09:56.039
is victim to it. They all
say, oh, it's it's not gonna

1020
01:09:56.039 --> 01:09:58.800
be me. It's not gonna I'm
not gonna be those guys. But it's

1021
01:09:58.800 --> 01:10:00.479
you know, at the end of
the day, it happens the best.

1022
01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:01.960
It happens to everybody, you know, at the top of the rosters to

1023
01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:05.039
the bottom of the roster. It's
it's something that unfortunately a lot of guys

1024
01:10:05.199 --> 01:10:09.119
have to go through the business side
of things. But you can't take personal.

1025
01:10:09.199 --> 01:10:12.760
You have to be able to go
through these battles, go through the

1026
01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:15.560
hills, go through the valleys of
you know, of life of the football,

1027
01:10:15.600 --> 01:10:18.960
of that football world. And I
just I know that that the mental

1028
01:10:19.000 --> 01:10:23.359
strengths that I've gained from it,
the mental toughness that I've been able to

1029
01:10:23.399 --> 01:10:27.439
build from, you know, being
able to you know, play that long

1030
01:10:27.600 --> 01:10:30.399
and endure that long, you know, I know that is what I'm going

1031
01:10:30.439 --> 01:10:33.399
to bring to the BC lines.
And as I said earlier today, like

1032
01:10:33.439 --> 01:10:38.520
I am my my My tank is
not empty. Like I am. As

1033
01:10:38.520 --> 01:10:41.840
I said, I just turned thirty, I am. I am as as

1034
01:10:41.880 --> 01:10:45.680
motivated as ever. I'm as uh
physical, physical as ever, I am

1035
01:10:45.720 --> 01:10:48.159
as aggressive as ever. I am
as motive, motivated and hungry as ever

1036
01:10:48.359 --> 01:10:51.319
because I know at the end of
the day, I know what I'm trying

1037
01:10:51.319 --> 01:10:54.600
to do. My and my goal
right now is as a b C line

1038
01:10:54.680 --> 01:10:57.119
is to win a great Cup.
So that's what I want to do and

1039
01:10:58.319 --> 01:11:00.039
do whatever it takes to help this
team. You know, it's goal and

1040
01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:03.399
the great Cups at BC place this
year. Christen, I'll say it again.

1041
01:11:03.439 --> 01:11:06.920
We can hear the excitement, we
can see the excitement that you have

1042
01:11:08.039 --> 01:11:10.520
right now. This is going to
be fun. Thanks so much for joining

1043
01:11:10.600 --> 01:11:14.560
us. This has been great.
Thank you both so much. Appreciate it.

1044
01:11:14.960 --> 01:11:18.920
Christian Covington of the BC Lions,
thirty years old. Eight seasons in

1045
01:11:18.960 --> 01:11:24.119
the National Football League, nine if
you count last season when he had some

1046
01:11:24.359 --> 01:11:28.520
injury issues. They lost Matthew Bets, right, Donnie, Yeah, this

1047
01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:32.199
is going to help e some of
the Matthew Bets departure. But there is

1048
01:11:32.279 --> 01:11:36.760
still game left in Christian Covington.
This guy's coming here and this is just

1049
01:11:36.840 --> 01:11:41.000
not a well, let's sign the
local guy. No, this is a

1050
01:11:41.039 --> 01:11:44.840
really good signing and I expect him
to be an impact player some business.

1051
01:11:44.960 --> 01:11:49.800
And then people have tweeted out the
Cannucks lines in Nashville. All right,

front of the laptop today, Yeah,

1058
01:12:18.279 --> 01:12:24.600
Vancouver. One of Vancouver's favorite players
is the card of the day Brad Marshat

1059
01:12:24.960 --> 01:12:30.199
as she and the Bruins look to
eliminate the Leafs tonight back in Toronto and

1060
01:12:30.239 --> 01:12:33.680
the box of cards, the OPG
twenty four cards, and we should mention

1061
01:12:34.199 --> 01:12:40.159
no, Austin Matthews again for the
Leafs. The last game it was believed

1062
01:12:40.159 --> 01:12:43.680
that had an illness and now we're
hearing and Elliott Friedman is one of the

1063
01:12:43.680 --> 01:12:46.600
people reporting this, it goes beyond
that illness and some sort of injury as

1064
01:12:46.640 --> 01:12:51.439
well. He's obviously banged up Donnie, and that's a huge loss for Room.

1065
01:12:51.439 --> 01:12:54.920
But they won the last game without
them, and this time they're at

1066
01:12:54.960 --> 01:12:59.479
home tonight. I believe on the
year they're two and oh without the Leaves

1067
01:12:59.520 --> 01:13:02.680
without Matthew. Yeah, including that
game. The other night lines in Nashville.

1068
01:13:02.760 --> 01:13:08.079
There drants with the tweet. No
changes to the Canucks lineup, as

1069
01:13:08.119 --> 01:13:13.000
they've shown it in drills at practice
here, So Suitor Miller Besser, even

1070
01:13:13.039 --> 01:13:16.680
though he's mentioned he's missing an r
on Besser, he's too fast. He's

1071
01:13:16.680 --> 01:13:20.079
got to concentrate Suter Miller Besser,
top line, Homelander, Petterson, mchaf,

1072
01:13:20.079 --> 01:13:25.039
second line, PDG Blue Girt,
Lafferty is your third line, Joshua

1073
01:13:25.239 --> 01:13:30.720
Lindholm Garland technically your fourth line.
Amon is the extra and your d pairs

1074
01:13:30.760 --> 01:13:33.560
the same as well. Hughes Heronic
Sussy, Meyers, Zadoroff, Cole Friedman,

1075
01:13:33.720 --> 01:13:38.359
Juwison your extras and of course if
you have missed it, no Pud

1076
01:13:38.359 --> 01:13:42.880
Coleson mentioned here because facility's back with
Abbotsford. They lost last night in Game

1077
01:13:42.920 --> 01:13:46.319
one to abbots to Ontario Vitario range
two to one. And if you missed

1078
01:13:46.319 --> 01:13:48.600
it earlier as well, we should
show what JT. Miller's been up to

1079
01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:51.119
in practice unless you want to talk
about this, well, did you mention

1080
01:13:51.159 --> 01:13:55.079
the goaltender? Sorry, I know
we didn't mention the goaltenders said, and

1081
01:13:55.159 --> 01:13:58.119
there's no confirmation yet. It looks
like is going to start. Yes,

1082
01:13:58.119 --> 01:14:00.720
that's what it looks like. And
if you miss missed it before, this

1083
01:14:01.039 --> 01:14:04.039
is what JT Miller was wearing at
the start of practice. He ended up

1084
01:14:04.079 --> 01:14:08.000
taking it off and changing over to
just a regularly that's a better shot there

1085
01:14:08.039 --> 01:14:12.720
that a Sea Lows dress shirt see
Love's dress shirt is apparently what JT was

1086
01:14:12.720 --> 01:14:15.159
having fun with that thing. Yeah, so JT decided to start practice wearing

1087
01:14:15.199 --> 01:14:20.159
this, and I'm sure his scrum
after practice will be entertaining talking about what

1088
01:14:20.199 --> 01:14:24.439
he was up to with this dress
shirt for the first part of practice today.

1089
01:14:24.600 --> 01:14:30.319
And Nash Lows needs some help.
Yeah, I'm not, it's everyone's

1090
01:14:30.359 --> 01:14:32.600
style. Maybe maybe he's more of
a flashyr guy with his clothing. I'm

1091
01:14:32.600 --> 01:14:36.319
not. I'm bland, but you
get a lot of compliments in your rock

1092
01:14:36.359 --> 01:14:40.920
and roll t shirts. Yeah,
my rock and Roll t shirts what the

1093
01:14:41.000 --> 01:14:45.039
kids call rock and roll DTMZ.

1102
01:15:21.000 --> 01:15:26.319
As we delve into the world of
sports and entertainment, I guess you

1103
01:15:26.359 --> 01:15:30.520
could call this entertainment. Did you
see this guy? And apparently he has

1104
01:15:30.560 --> 01:15:33.520
a history of this and I wasn't
made aware of it, or a lot

1105
01:15:33.560 --> 01:15:38.920
of people weren't made aware of it
until yesterday. It's the playoffs. Focus

1106
01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:44.319
on the Dallas Stars in their home
games. The gentleman's name is Nick Marach

1107
01:15:44.640 --> 01:15:49.199
or moroach Okay. I guess he's
a season ticket holder in behind the glass

1108
01:15:50.399 --> 01:15:57.359
at Dallas Stars home games, I
think the opposition glass for two periods and

1109
01:15:57.399 --> 01:16:01.039
there he was front and center.
Last night we visuals here banging on the

1110
01:16:01.079 --> 01:16:05.600
glass, holding signs, wearing you
know, a jacket and a shirt that

1111
01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:11.520
you know allows everybody to notice him. Did you see this banging on the

1112
01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:15.680
glass. It's like, guy,
we're not here to see you like.

1113
01:16:15.760 --> 01:16:19.880
It's just doing anything he can for
attention. You look at his Twitter account.

1114
01:16:19.960 --> 01:16:24.640
It's all about him getting attention.
You know what he's getting it.

1115
01:16:25.079 --> 01:16:27.960
That's the world we live in today. That's that's all you have to do

1116
01:16:28.680 --> 01:16:31.600
is dressed like that, hold up
a sign and bang on the glass.

1117
01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:35.079
Now, I have enough problem with
the glass bangers at games. I don't

1118
01:16:35.079 --> 01:16:40.640
get it. There's a battle along
the boards and somebody usually on a date,

1119
01:16:40.680 --> 01:16:43.800
and he's trying to impress his date. I don't know. Banging on

1120
01:16:43.880 --> 01:16:46.520
the glass. You see it a
lot, but this guy takes it as

1121
01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:51.960
a step further. But he's getting
all sorts of attention. I'm sure an

1122
01:16:53.039 --> 01:16:56.720
endorsement deal is just around the corner. He's a loon tune well, he's

1123
01:16:56.720 --> 01:17:01.600
also he's also in the crosshairs of
Paul and he he loves that he is.

1124
01:17:01.680 --> 01:17:05.840
By the way too. His bio
includes the fact ye Bissonet is taking

1125
01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:09.720
runs at I mean and so him
and Misson is a guy who never tries

1126
01:17:09.760 --> 01:17:14.079
to get attended him and go back
and forth with all the stars games and

1127
01:17:14.800 --> 01:17:18.800
I just like, I mean,
we're we're part of the problem because we're

1128
01:17:18.920 --> 01:17:21.960
furthering his cause. I was just
gonna say, what are we doing here?

1129
01:17:23.079 --> 01:17:25.920
But it's like, man like,
if you're around this, dude,

1130
01:17:26.079 --> 01:17:29.159
like, that's the other thing I
pay as much as you You're not the

1131
01:17:29.239 --> 01:17:32.000
show. Yes, exactly. I
understand being excited, but you know,

1132
01:17:32.720 --> 01:17:36.399
if I'm excited at a game,
I'm excited because of what's happening on the

1133
01:17:36.439 --> 01:17:40.439
ice right, not because of what
I'm doing in the stands right or what

1134
01:17:40.520 --> 01:17:43.119
someone else is doing in the stand
And you nail that he's got a Twitter

1135
01:17:43.159 --> 01:17:46.560
account. We live in the Twitter
world where videos and pictures are you know,

1136
01:17:46.920 --> 01:17:53.079
everywhere. He's furthering, he's trying
to get likes, and he's probably

1137
01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:57.159
you know, doing pretty well on
the on the Twitter account. That's that's

1138
01:17:57.239 --> 01:18:00.159
life. Now. Would anybody be
surprised if made the Stanley Cup Final.

1139
01:18:00.199 --> 01:18:03.439
I know there's a long way to
go. Colorado's well, they have to

1140
01:18:03.439 --> 01:18:08.079
get rid of Vegas first, But
Colorado would be up next to a tough

1141
01:18:08.159 --> 01:18:11.319
road. But I don't think anybody
would be shocked. I might see a

1142
01:18:11.319 --> 01:18:14.880
lot of old Nick there, yep. And you can just imagine, you

1143
01:18:14.920 --> 01:18:15.800
know, what he's going to be
up to at that point, and how

1144
01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:18.800
much more attention he's gonna get.
And you know what else, Let's get

1145
01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:24.600
off this story because we're giving him
to sixty one hundred followers on Twitter at

1146
01:18:24.720 --> 01:18:28.960
sixty sixty one hundred. That's all
that's going up. That's going up.

1147
01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:31.039
That's not bad, it's it's gonna
go up. And he's got a website

1148
01:18:31.079 --> 01:18:34.560
and everything, and the two worst
words in the history of the English language

1149
01:18:34.560 --> 01:18:43.039
are in his bio content creator.

National League. I remember the story.

1178
01:21:24.640 --> 01:21:28.000
It was a big deal for a
short period of time, but a lot

1179
01:21:28.039 --> 01:21:31.199
of money involved. The Rangers were
remember Rangers were trying to buy everybody back

1180
01:21:31.239 --> 01:21:34.640
then, and including Joe Sakk.
It's pretty good. It's pretty good.

Just got back from the police department.

1197
01:23:19.720 --> 01:23:24.560
Had to file a missing person's report
on Elliots Patterson. Hopefully they find him

1198
01:23:24.560 --> 01:23:28.239
soon so he can show up for
game six. That's Ryan and Victoria or

1199
01:23:28.279 --> 01:23:31.479
it could have been from either one
of YouTube. Well you're not notice what

1200
01:23:31.520 --> 01:23:35.000
are you're not noticing? There?
I told you he's got to be better.

1201
01:23:35.479 --> 01:23:40.199
There's no questions. So the three
of us then, well mostly YouTube.

1202
01:23:40.279 --> 01:23:44.239
There was a and Ryan refuses to
run this for some reason, but

1203
01:23:44.319 --> 01:23:48.479
there was an example of him not
getting to a puck. Uh. I

1204
01:23:48.520 --> 01:23:53.920
think Hoglander gives him an area past
two defenders are there, he could have

1205
01:23:53.960 --> 01:23:58.520
split between his and he kind of
hesitated. I think he's hurt. You

1206
01:23:58.560 --> 01:24:00.920
sat to find out about it.
You said it, and the question is

1207
01:24:00.920 --> 01:24:04.760
why didn't Why wasn't he sitting out
late in the regular seceason? Greats goes

1208
01:24:04.800 --> 01:24:10.000
back to the regular season. Another
great question? Is it just me?

1209
01:24:11.520 --> 01:24:17.920
Dwight Jukebox Hero love It, Foreigner
rocks, zz Top and Toop Snake Boogie

1210
01:24:18.119 --> 01:24:23.840
also rocks. And I'm reading that
because Ryan criticized my choice of Foreigner.

1211
01:24:23.960 --> 01:24:29.520
Beautiful songs. Oh as we went
to break on DTMZ there jukebox hero is

1212
01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:32.399
an anthem, Ryan, have it? You know, go home tonight fine,

1213
01:24:32.520 --> 01:24:34.920
turned down the lights and listen to
it just a little. I don't

1214
01:24:34.920 --> 01:24:38.439
know why you have to anthem for
me. I don't know. It's just

1215
01:24:38.479 --> 01:24:41.920
a little. It's nineteen eighties music, Ryan, what do you want to

1216
01:24:41.960 --> 01:24:45.439
be good? It's fine, It's
fine. Toop snake boogie, good tune,

1217
01:24:46.239 --> 01:24:54.600
Oh legs Zeezy topped legs was good
song? Best song? What do

1218
01:24:54.600 --> 01:24:59.640
you got? Is it just me? But I'm gonna solve the Canucks right

1219
01:24:59.680 --> 01:25:02.880
side defense issues. Trade Heronic signed
Christanna, get him at a cheaper price

1220
01:25:02.880 --> 01:25:06.960
and less term. Tanef could help
bring Willander along in the future. Don

1221
01:25:08.000 --> 01:25:12.000
De from Namo, It's a very
good du submission by Don De. He

1222
01:25:12.039 --> 01:25:16.840
really is because he puts in the
Wellander connection. And and who was here

1223
01:25:17.079 --> 01:25:25.119
when Quinn Hughes got here and played
a big role. S's christannev Don Yeah.

1224
01:25:25.359 --> 01:25:27.920
And if tannef can do the same
what I was thinking, I was

1225
01:25:27.960 --> 01:25:30.560
thinking right handers? Yeah? No, But what I what what Donde saying,

1226
01:25:30.600 --> 01:25:35.079
which is great? Is your mentor
a mentor? And and Quinn Hughes

1227
01:25:35.319 --> 01:25:39.720
absolutely loves Chris Hanna for that reason
on and off, on and off the

1228
01:25:39.720 --> 01:25:43.319
ice, the great Friends. Ronic
can't be a mentor to Lander, not

1229
01:25:43.399 --> 01:25:49.319
like Chris Hand. No, is
it just me from Surrey? Ryan?

1230
01:25:49.520 --> 01:25:54.319
Maybe you have this tweet from Thomas
from Surrey, Ryan? Is it just

1231
01:25:54.359 --> 01:25:59.199
me? Thomas Drants misses the R
on Besser, but nails the accent of

1232
01:25:59.319 --> 01:26:06.760
leedy Colin and applet in Hoglander that
epitomizes Grants. Did he mess up by

1233
01:26:06.760 --> 01:26:12.640
putting he missed? He missed the
R because Thomas would mention to us when

1234
01:26:12.680 --> 01:26:15.279
we screw up. So I feel
comfortable to this, No R on Besser.

1235
01:26:15.479 --> 01:26:19.279
He pasted the Hooglander from somewhere else. You could tell because he's not

1236
01:26:19.319 --> 01:26:24.399
putting the two dots in there.
There's no way. Eh No, No,

1237
01:26:24.479 --> 01:26:28.800
that's pasted. Eh uh No,
oh yes he is. And he's

1238
01:26:28.800 --> 01:26:31.439
got the what's what's above the A
in the first the first A? And

1239
01:26:31.479 --> 01:26:36.199
I'm on there, same thing that's
pasted. Because if whether it's pasted or

1240
01:26:36.239 --> 01:26:41.760
not, when you google him on
and Hoglander, you get that. You

1241
01:26:41.760 --> 01:26:44.479
you could do you know this,
dude, because I have, so you

1242
01:26:44.520 --> 01:26:47.359
get Besser without an R too.
I'm telling you right now. Could he

1243
01:26:47.439 --> 01:26:50.720
not have just put Hoglander in without
the two dots. Yes, he could

1244
01:26:50.800 --> 01:26:54.720
have. He pasted at Don.
I'm having some fun with a friend of

1245
01:26:54.760 --> 01:26:57.680
ourselves. I'll tell you something.
How does he forget the r don?

1246
01:26:58.960 --> 01:27:01.680
I have no idea what point you're
making, but go ahead. I want

1247
01:27:01.720 --> 01:27:05.159
to get this one. Is it
just me? Brendan Dillon's career started in

1248
01:27:05.239 --> 01:27:09.840
junior being Hope with the Icebreakers.
I was living there at the time.

1249
01:27:09.880 --> 01:27:13.520
It would go to the games regular
Sea lasted two seasons. Let me finish

1250
01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:17.840
Andy Mallett in New s I want
to tell the quick story of Brendan Dillon

1251
01:27:18.439 --> 01:27:23.920
was playing. Uh, he just
did midget a three on all these parents

1252
01:27:24.000 --> 01:27:27.079
Bloomer, yeah, late bloom all
these parents that think your kid's got to

1253
01:27:27.079 --> 01:27:30.119
be a stud. At fourteen,
Brendan Dillon was playing a three midget in

1254
01:27:30.199 --> 01:27:35.439
Surrey Hope ice Breakers Junior b then
went to Seattle, then had twenty two

1255
01:27:35.520 --> 01:27:40.119
teams after him as a nineteen year
old out of Seattle. Loved that guy,

1256
01:27:40.359 --> 01:27:43.720
Brendan Dillon. And he's gonna be
a UFA. You're saying he's coming

1257
01:27:43.760 --> 01:27:45.479
to Vancouver, DoD. I didn't
say he's coming to Vancouver, but I'm

1258
01:27:45.520 --> 01:27:50.640
saying the Canucks should look into him. Okay, break and then we'll wrap

1259
