Our director of the Voice of God

12
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:58.920
How's your weekend? Oh it's good. It was sunny yesterday, Donnie,

13
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.159
you can't beat that. I felt
a little bit cold, but I felt

14
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.159
spring. You know. On Friday
you said spring us in the air.

15
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.400
Spring is in the air. A
little bit cold, but the spring is

16
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.000
in the air. I did some
yardwork. I had a dream on the

17
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.599
weekend that I was going to get
the pressure washer out soon. So we

18
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:17.280
had a dream you were going to
get the pressure wash I did. I

19
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.879
have weird dreams, but that's a
big thing for me. Let's just stop

20
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.799
right there. We don't want to
hear anything more about your dream thing about

21
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.799
pressure washing. I love pressure washing. Let's talk some hockey. This just

22
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:33.359
in moments ago, our friend julian
McKenzie from the Athletic in Calgary, he

23
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.760
covers the Flames. Yeah, he's
with them on their post All Star road

24
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.239
trip. They're in Boston and check
out who hit the ice today for the

25
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.599
first time as a member of the
Flames. Oh, Donnylokoho is andre because

26
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.120
making boy. Does he look weird
in red? I mean he's only been

27
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.920
in the NHL a short time.
We just know him in blue. But

28
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.840
there's Andrey because more the Flying skate
the Flying skate Black. But they're in

29
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:02.560
Boston at the Bruins practice facility and
there he is folks Andrei Kuzmenko, the

30
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.280
newest member of the Flames. They
play the Bruins on a Tuesday, and

31
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:14.800
Julianne has also He hasn't tweeted out
any lines. But he has tweeted out

32
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:19.919
who's on power play one, Sharon
Govic, Kadri hober Dell, Hannah finand

33
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.240
Kuzmko, cus manco and Donnie.
He had to wave his no trade clause

34
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.120
to go to Calgary. So when
he talked to the GM and the coach,

35
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.159
what do you think they told them, come on down, we're gonna

36
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.000
put you on the power play.
What a hockey people tell the people they're

37
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.240
recruiting all the time. They tell
them everything they want to hear. You're

38
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.319
gonna get tons of ice, You're
gonna be on the power play. You're

39
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.439
gonna be killing penalties, You're gonna
be one of our league. Pressure Washington,

40
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.120
You're gonna be pressure washing our new
practice facility. Donnie. They told

41
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.319
him he's gonna be on the power
play. He's on the power play.

42
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:53.120
There you go, will wear number
ninety six in Calgary as you'd expect.

43
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.199
Please see that those images once again, that video once again, Ryan,

44
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.159
because here's what sticks out for me
when I'm looking at this video not only

45
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:08.280
on because Maco, but check out
the Bruins practice facility. Yeah. Absolutely,

46
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:12.520
So what are you saying? Are
you trying to well intent. Well,

47
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.639
it's interesting that it's the Flames on
the ice in Boston. The Flames

48
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.639
and the Cannocks are the only two
teams in the NHL without their own practice

49
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.159
facility. Flames, of course have
a new building being built. I don't

50
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.960
even know what stage they're at right
now, if there's been a shovel in

51
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.639
the ground, but they do have
the plans for a new practice facility or

52
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:37.479
for their for a practice new reality
the whole nine period and the Connocks are

53
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:42.599
stuck in the mud. Where are
we with that out Bradiam Mountain Jim Rutherford

54
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.879
said in a press conference. Didn't
he say that they might take an existing

55
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.560
rink and turn it into and you
know, renovated, Yeah, like they

56
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.960
did with eight rinks back in the
day, back in the nineties. Look,

57
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.919
Donnie, they all complained about the
same thing, the price of land

58
00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.439
in Vancouver. David Bradley for years
tried to get a practice facility Dawn for

59
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.080
the BC. They have one in
Surrey that that they wanted to tear it

60
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.000
down and they wanted a new one
and he was looking for land. It

61
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:11.039
was too expensive and the getting mad
at me. No, but they did,

62
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.280
look Bradley looked and he said,
the price of land in Vancouver.

63
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.360
Now you're hearing the same thing from
Rutherford. Oh, the price of land

64
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.160
in Vancouver's too much. They don't
want to spend to get the land to

65
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.959
build. They have a land baron
who's their owner, that's right? And

66
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.680
he's building. Isn't he building a
ski resort? And squamish? I mean,

67
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.279
come on, get it done?
Really they ever heard that Gallardian them?

68
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.319
Is that right? Am? I
correct? Ryan Henderson? I think

69
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.959
I've heard something not with it's been. It's public, They've been, They've

70
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:43.480
written stories on it. I'm right
on top of that story. But no,

71
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.639
it's it's I find it kind of
strange that they would the guy.

72
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.040
They wouldn't partner up with an existing
community, and it's arena Like, there's

73
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.839
some beautiful arenas out there, Coquitlam
Park, Coquitlam Hillcrest, but Burnaby's building

74
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.279
new arenas. But you want it
close to where they played their home games?

75
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.120
I mean, but it wasn't the
case with a eight rinxel. Did

76
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:08.439
you want the guys? Do you
want the guys to play in downtown Vancouver

77
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:13.199
and practice in Surrey or Ladner or
Twason. They wouldn't be the only team

78
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.920
like that. Too far, too
far, Donny, too far. Okay,

79
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:19.639
Well, there was talk about Burnaby
mount sf you yea, it is

80
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.920
a mountain. Okay, it is
a mountain. Might be hard to get

81
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:28.720
up to and especially in the snow
in January. So Andre Kuzmenko, I

82
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.480
think every Canuck fan wishing him the
best of luck. I think so too,

83
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.600
Calgary. He didn't do anything wrong
to the fans. He just you

84
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:40.000
know, wouldn't play the way the
Rick talking wanted him play, and it

85
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.399
just didn't work. It had to
happen. We knew our We know our

86
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.680
friends at pastime Sports who often partnered
with Andre. Wish him the best of

87
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.160
luck. Okay. Meanwhile, we
talked about the Flames playing the Bruins on

88
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:56.639
Tuesday. The Canucks got together post
All Star break. Yesterday, they practiced

89
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:02.160
Sunday in Carolina. They resumed their
schedule Tuesday in Carolina against the Hurricanes.

90
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:08.560
Yesterday practice about a fifty minute practice
with Rick Talckett back from Toronto and the

91
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.639
All Star festivities in charge. Of
course, all the Knuck All Stars,

92
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:17.519
like two dozen of them back with
the Canucks in Carolina. And here are

93
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:23.480
the line combinations from yesterday's practice,
and I'm going to toot our own horn

94
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:28.839
here if you don't mind. But
Thursday, after the Lindholm trade, if

95
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.839
you look at the top six year, this is what we had, and

96
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.639
Miller is going to be on that. I guess you'll call it the first

97
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:40.560
line Miller between Suitor and Besser Petterson, between mckayev and Lindholm. Now,

98
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.920
Lindholm is right handed, so he's
going to go to the right side.

99
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.879
Mckayev, lefty, who often plays
the right side, moves to the left

100
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:54.759
side with the Pederson and people are
expecting magic between Peterson and Lindholm. We'll

101
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.639
see in the middle there. Now, keep in mind that Lindholm was a

102
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:03.079
Selki finalist a couple of years ago
playing center with the Calgary Flames with Gudro

103
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:08.839
and kachuk Okay. But in Carolina
where he was also very effective, where

104
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.959
Jim Rutherford had him, he played
on the wing. He played on the

105
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.079
wing, options galore for the Canucks. If you take a look at this,

106
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.920
they got two centermen playing in the
top six on the wings, Patterson

107
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.759
and Lindham. You talked about,
oh can they can they do some magic

108
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.800
together? They did play together five
years ago at the World Hockey Championships for

109
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.199
Sweden, Donnie, So they played
on a line with the guy in Colorado.

110
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:39.519
It escapes my he's hurt right now, Landscock Landiscock. Anyways, so

111
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.720
they played together five years ago at
the World's you know, so it's not

112
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.959
a ton of time together, but
they did have one tournament together. But

113
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:47.600
tons of options for the coach.
Can you imagine, though, Donnie,

114
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.959
if they went Miller Patterson's combination really
stuck with you. Can you imagine if

115
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:56.720
they went Miller Peterson Lindham up the
middle with Blueger. They can't do that,

116
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:58.480
but they're not going to do it. But the sure they can't,

117
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.000
they can't. They could be one
of the strongest teams up the middle of

118
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.680
the ice if they wanted to be. But I think it makes sense to

119
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.279
keep them in the top six on
the wing. And Rick Talckett loves that

120
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.959
he has all those players that can't
play center. Obviously Blueger and him honor

121
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.439
there and Dakota Joshua has played center
as well, so all sorts of options

122
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.439
for them. Okay, so we
mentioned Elias Linnholm, who will wear the

123
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.480
number twenty three, starting out his
time with the Canucks on a five game

124
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:31.800
road trip, which begins again Tuesday
in Carolina. Here is Elias yesterday post

125
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.440
practice talking about the fact he likes
that he likes the fact that he's starting

126
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.799
out with his new team on a
lengthy road trip. No, it's huge.

127
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.799
I mean, you know, every
team is talking about it early on

128
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.039
in season to you know, it's
nice to have a road trip and get

129
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.960
to know everyone and so on.
And you know, for me now during

130
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.720
the season, it feels like this
this group is really tight and have a

131
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.320
good connection, and so for me
to just come in and get to know

132
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.679
everyone and maybe have a dinner or
two with a couple of boys. And

133
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.120
obviously I was lucky enough to to
be at the also game with a bunch

134
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.840
of the guys as well. So
it's been been a good, good,

135
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.960
good start so far. You had
to talk to a lot of media over

136
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.000
the weekend. How nice was it
to finally get out there with the group.

137
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.080
Yeah, I mean it was good. Obviously happened a couple of days

138
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.879
ago, and and I got to
go to Toronto and and do all that

139
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.279
stuff, And like I said,
I met a bunch of the guys there

140
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.600
and and but it's been you know, a lot of media, like I

141
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.759
said, and and a lot of
talk about and I've been excited to get

142
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.279
there and get to know everyone.
And obviously it's uh, it's good to

143
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.679
get the first practice out away,
and and now I feel, yeah,

144
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:43.000
I feel feel pretty good. Last
lint home in Carolina yesterday, the practice

145
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.159
again today, and again the game
tomorrow against the Hurricanes. Ryan, you

146
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.039
have some information, uh that just
flowed in. I'm not sure who it's

147
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.799
from, regarding the Flames line combinations. Now you you said that Kuzmenko is

148
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.559
a healthy scratch. Yeah he is, no, just kidding, Julian mackenzie

149
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.480
again, they send him a chest
clearly there, Ryan, top line,

150
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:09.879
Huberto, Sharon Govic, Andre Kuzmenko
and Sharon Govic. Just so everybody knows

151
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:15.919
he's a Millstein client. Oh my
gosh, that is kind of interesting.

152
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.159
I'm just isn't it more interesting that
he's somebody that nobody has really talks much

153
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.200
about, Sharon Gobech and he's been
one of their best players. They got

154
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.919
him for Tyler to fully and he's
yeah, this year he has been thirty

155
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.120
nine games. He's been great.
But of more importance. He's Millstein client.

156
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.600
So Rick's point though, and you
bring this up all the time too,

157
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.679
about you know, we should really
not read a ton into lines because

158
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.200
three seconds later they can change.
But it is, I know, but

159
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.960
you know what they said. I
know, but you know what they said,

160
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:46.759
You're gonna be on the top line, top power play by the mid

161
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.840
midway point of the first period.
He could be healthy scratch. Well,

162
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.840
keep me in mine too, it
I mean the fact that Hubert does on

163
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.440
the on the first line, and
look what he's done in the last a

164
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.840
couple of seasons. Yeah, weaker
roster. Yeah about that you might have

165
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.120
been Absolutely at the start of the
season. Absolutely he was going to get

166
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.960
more of an opportunity. But this
coach, remember this, this head coach

167
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.240
in Calgary bench tuberto remember was it
the entire third period? Wasn't he a

168
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.360
healthy scratch? Yeah, So it's
not like he's just gonna go there and

169
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.759
you know, play river hockey.
You know, just you know, whatever

170
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.200
there's going to be, you know, you're gonna have to play at both

171
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.600
ends of the rink as well.
They're death one. Huberto spent all that

172
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:31.200
time on the bench staring at a
stick. Yeah, and almost the whole

173
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:37.320
third period. Yeah. Okay,
back to the Canucks now. Uh,

174
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.360
let's hear from Rick Cockey now.
And we had some of these types of

175
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.600
clips from the All Star festivities in
Toronto. But again this is Rick yesterday.

176
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.159
Clip one here Derek rick Hackett on
what he likes of Elias Lino.

177
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:58.080
I love twitter foot players. He's
a can play all different positions, hybrid

178
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:03.039
center or wing. Obviously PK guy
one of you know, really good PK

179
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.799
guy. I think he's over fifty
five percent of his draws and he can

180
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.799
play power play. So I mean, we're just get a guy that can

181
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.039
do a lot of different things for
us and gives us a lot of options

182
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:18.320
as coaches. I don't recall Rick
Talckett saying and this is not a knock.

183
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.559
I guess it is. Andre Cuzmicco
is a two hundred foot hockey players.

184
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.159
Oh boy, that's the whole problem. He wasn't. That's why it

185
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.240
ended up in a divorce. Did
you watch much of the All Star weekend?

186
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.559
You know, so that's yes or
no? You know no? Like

187
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.919
me, I think like most people, I never heard anybody go I watched

188
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.639
the whole thing I'm not watching that. I didn't watch anything. You know,

189
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.519
people cut and the thing that I
tweeted this out on Saturday, the

190
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.440
thing that that caught my attention,
And you know, I'm a uniform guy.

191
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:52.399
I thought that the Justin Bieber Drew
House designed uniforms were excellent. I

192
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.919
think they're They're one of those one
of those uniforms you would rip them and

193
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.360
you know them and you see Beabs
here getting pictures taken with all the All

194
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.440
Stars. He took warm up with
Team Matthews. When you look at the

195
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.240
outfits as a whole, I thought
they were incredible. I'm shocked. You

196
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:13.159
like these why everybody wants to rip
everything looks like they should be on a

197
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.960
cereal box. These these jerseys will
go like ten years from now one of

198
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:24.240
the best of all time All Star
put that in your pipe. The only

199
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.759
thing for the play by play announcer
for Chris Cuthbert, the names on the

200
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.279
bottom, names on the bottom and
lowercase. That must have been tough.

201
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.480
I don't think most play by play
announcers don't look at the name bars.

202
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.240
They look at the numbers. Sure, but I think it helps no.

203
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.320
Because one of the teams had two
number nines. Yeah, remember which one?

204
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:50.600
Now one of them there were two
sixteens Matthews. So I know Derek's

205
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.759
bringing up the point like it was
like he was Santa Claus something different.

206
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.440
Amount of people, nobod, the
amount of people wanted your photo with the

207
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.840
beats, I don't know. He's
just just in. He's one of the

208
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.960
biggest celebrities I know. But like
I was a little surprised too. The

209
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.519
video just keeps going and going.
Well, okay. The other thing too

210
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.399
is you know a lot of those
players, whether they're fans of his or

211
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:18.279
not, they have younger relatives or
kids. Yeah, the dads with Dad's

212
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:24.000
never been cooler. Yeah with beeps. Now, when you talk about the

213
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.360
numbers below, probably the name plate
below the numbers, there was a I

214
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.039
don't know if this is the case
anymore, but the Sacramento Kings used to

215
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.480
be the Kansas City Kings way back
in the day, and they did that

216
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.279
something a little bit different, sacramented
it. No, it was I believe

217
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.480
the Kansas City there, the Kansas
City Omaha Kings. I believe they're there.

218
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.559
They had their name and name plates
below the numbers. We're talking NBA

219
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:54.120
here, right, a lot of
people care about that. You know what

220
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.960
I'm talking about. Okay, Now
I want to mention also that a couple

221
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.879
of things. It's Don Cherry's ninetieth
birthday. Yes, so we want it.

222
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.799
We want to talk. I know
some people, you know, don't

223
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.080
want to hear anything more about Don
Cherry, one of the greatest Canadians of

224
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.039
all time and that four pole Remember
the CBC poll. I think he finished

225
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.159
seventh. I don't know where he
topped top ten. Sure, I've got

226
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.840
a lot to say on that.
So we're going to talk more about him

227
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.840
a little bit later. We also
want to talk about speaking of All Star

228
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.679
Weekend, getting back to the NHL, getting back to the Canucks, thatcher

229
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:33.320
Demco turning down the hug offer from
Jeremy Swayman loved it. There's a there's

230
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.120
a lot there. We'll get to
that as well. DTMZ is it just

hour, Kevin Woodley and this is it.

Major League Baseball career. Man.
It seems just like yesterday started back in

00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.880

at James, who's joined us before, joins us again now, James,

255
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.000
thanks for doing this, sir.
How are you doing well? Are you

256
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.799
guys very well? What sold you
other than the obvious the contract? What

257
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:40.119
sold you on the Los Angeles Dodgers? You know, just being back on

258
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.440
the West coast is great, a
little closer to family. I've been on

259
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.160
the East coast for the last four
years, so it's nice to be back

260
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:51.440
on the West coast. How's the
health, James, health is good.

261
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:56.119
Body feels really good heading into the
season, looking forward to getting back out

262
00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.599
there. Can you put it to
words what you played with the Mariners,

263
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.079
but you played with the Yankees,
You've played with the Red Sox, now

264
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.319
the Dodgers. Can you put it
into words what it's like playing for yet

265
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.480
another fabled Major League Baseball franchise.
It's pretty cool, you know. Someone

266
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.720
was telling me their day that I
played for three of the most historic franchises

267
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.839
in Major Baseball, and I hadn't
really thought about it, but it's pretty

268
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:25.440
cool to get the opportunity to play
for those teams. In twenty twenty one,

269
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:29.839
you had the Tommy John surgery.
We on the outside here about that,

270
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.839
James, that that that operation,
that injury, but just can you

271
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:36.920
tell us in detail? I mean, how how tough was that? And

272
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:38.680
you have to be out a long
period of time and for you to come

273
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:42.559
back and still be going at it. Tell us a little bit about Tommy

274
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:48.319
John surgery and what it entails.
So for me, they used my pol

275
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.480
maris in my left arm and then
they you know, took that out,

276
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.839
took out my use yellow my elbow, and then wrap the pole maras around

277
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:03.079
my I guess the bones in there
to turn that that turns into a tendon

278
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.000
or a ligament turns into a ligament, because it's tendon first, and then

279
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.000
the tendon turns into a ligament over
time. So that's kind of what you're

280
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.480
waiting for. And then you start
throwing, building the strength in that and

281
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.759
that ligament and stuff. So much
armcare. I feel like I did as

282
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.480
much arm care and I've done my
entire career as a fan of you know

283
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:23.160
whatever. It was fourteen months,
you know, but it was. It

284
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.480
was just a lot of work and
I had a lot of help with some

285
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:30.160
great people, and it took me
a while, you know, I think

286
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.039
being older going through it, it
took me. I think I recovered a

287
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.319
little slower than some young guys,
but just really happy that I was able

288
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.200
to get back out there and pitch
again. There is a kid in Canada

289
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.680
right now saying I want to be
the next James Paxton. You're seeing more

290
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.559
and more Canadians drafted. You're seeing
more more Canadians and major League Baseball.

291
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.839
How does that make you feel?
So it's all about, you know,

292
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.039
showing these kids that it's possible and
kind of laying the path. And I

293
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.839
feel like for me, a big
thing is like showing guys that it's possible

294
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.119
to come back from injuries and stick
around, you know, if you work

295
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.480
hard and keep your nose, keep
your head down, keep on working,

296
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.240
find ways to get better as you're
hurt. I feel like, that's kind

297
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.960
of been the path of my career, is just coming back injury after injury.

298
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.200
You know how big the Canucks are
in Vancouver, I'm gonna guess the

299
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.119
Yankees are bigger in New York.
For a kid growing up from the Lower

300
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.720
Mainland and then pitching for the Yankees
the Yankee Stadium, how cool was that?

301
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:29.960
I mean, like, can you
give us a little feeling how big

302
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.400
the Yankees are and to be there? How big was that for you?

303
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.519
It was big? You know.
It took me getting used to the first

304
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:37.839
half of the season. It was
a lot, you know, because they're

305
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.559
so tense about their Yankees, and
it took me a little while to get

306
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.559
comfortable there. But I felt like
I got comfortable and really enjoyed my experience

307
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.640
with the Yankees. You know,
the fans are intense. I got boot

308
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.839
off the field a few times the
first half of the season, but then

309
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.319
I started pitching better the second half
of the season and they liked me a

310
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:00.279
little bit more after that. James, let's get back to that Tommy John

311
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.480
surgery. You mentioned ligaments and tendons
there, and it's just before lunch for

312
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.640
a lot of people, it was
it was tough to hear for I'm sure,

313
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.119
but when you heard what the procedure
entailed, what went through your mind,

314
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.720
that must have been tough. Yeah, you know, it's scary to

315
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.960
go through something like that. It's
so serious. I think the good thing

316
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:22.559
was is that so many guys have
gone through that surgery now and come back

317
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.960
from it that you feel like your
chances are pretty good to come back and

318
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.839
pitch again. So I never had
a doubt that I would come back and

319
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:36.759
pitch. It was just I think
the injuries following the Tommy John, you

320
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:38.319
know, because I had some issues
kind of coming back from that with a

321
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:44.039
I think I had a trisep thing
at one point my lap when I was

322
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:48.519
coming back, I was almost back
in twenty twenty two, and then I

323
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.759
tore my lap, and then in
spring training in twenty three I tore my

324
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:53.880
hamstring. So it was just sort
of like, you know, one thing

325
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:56.359
after the next, and at that
point it was wondering, like am I

326
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:59.799
ever going to be able to put
it back together enough to get back out

327
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:02.880
there. I'm just so grateful that
I was able to and was able to

328
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:06.200
pitch quite a bit last year.
And there are stories out there James.

329
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:08.720
No names come to mind, but
he seemed to recall that some pitchers feel

330
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:14.599
actually better after having gone through Tommy
John surgery. What about you in terms

331
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:18.559
of your arm anyway? Yeah,
my arm feels great. You know.

332
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.240
I feel like the fastball is really
good. Last year, breaking stuff,

333
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:25.319
I feel like it's still coming.
I've been told that, you know,

334
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:26.640
it takes a little while for the
breaking stuff to come back. So I'm

335
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.680
hoping that this year. It's It's
been feeling really good this offseason in front

336
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.400
of breaking breaking stuff, So I
think that that stuff might play a little

337
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.400
bit better this year than I did
last year. LA. So you're gonna

338
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.279
be teammates with Shoani? What what? What impresses you the most about him?

339
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:45.680
Man? Just the fact that they
can do both, you know,

340
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.160
like I can't, I can't hit
it all, you know, and he's,

341
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:51.680
uh, he's out there and he's
one of the best at both,

342
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:55.480
if not the best. You know. It's incredibly impressive, and I'm excited

343
00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:57.880
just to kind of see what his
routine is and how he how he manages

344
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:02.599
his body under that kind of workload. Have you faced him, James?

345
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.359
Yeah, I have, I have. Yeah, what do you think of

346
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:12.400
me, and I have him faced
him hitting. I'm glad I haven't had

347
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:17.880
to face him as that's all over
now. No, there's no more pitchers

348
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:19.400
hitting. But yeah, I have
faced him and I know that he has

349
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:22.200
a homer off for me for sure. Well, thanks for doing this,

350
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.000
James. You've always been so good
to us, so we really appreciate it.

351
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:29.559
All the best with the LA Dodgers, We're looking forward to it.

352
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.839
I appreciate it. Thank you.
You bet James Paxton with the Los Angeles

353
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:41.000
Dodgers one year, seven million dollars
guaranteed, he could earn thirteen million dollars

354
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.400
with bonuses. You heard him run
through the list of health issues he's had.

355
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.240
So he stays healthy. As a
decent season, he stands to make

356
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:52.920
six million x dollars in bonuses.
They've got him slotted. I think is

357
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:59.720
a fourth or fifth starter in that
Dodgers rotation. North Delta Blue Jays folks,

358
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.599
and then the University of Kentucky and
then drafted well first by the Blue

359
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:07.119
Jays and then the year after by
the Mariners in the fourth round. So

360
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.960
just a great local kid making it
big in the major leagues of baseball.

361
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:12.880
You love it. Yeah. Spent
last year with the Red Sox, went

362
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:18.319
seven and five. During our ten
forty days we would go down to what

363
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.000
was then Safego Field eventually Team Mowhile
in Seattle on a regular basis. He

364
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:29.440
was with the Mariners during two stints
and we do our broadcast from up in

365
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:33.200
the press box, so usually when
we talked to players, they would be

366
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:36.400
down on the field, you know, with a remote microphone. James came

367
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:38.799
up a couple of times up into
the press box to join us. Just

368
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:44.680
a great guy. All the best
to James Packinson. Okay, poll question.

369
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:47.599
It has to do with the Canucks. We want to talk about the

370
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:51.759
Demko Swiman controversy as well. JT. Miller in there as well. We'll

371
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:59.400
do that next. Donnie Dolly the
team on check. All right, let's

372

376
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.920
is it ever a Bet ninety nine
donet poll question? What other move should

377
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.640
the Canucks make before the trade deadline
defenseman forward, don't make a move thirteen

378
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:29.039
hundred votes already, sixty three percent
say added defenseman Dottie. They've added the

379
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:33.640
top six winger already, slash center
and powerplay penalty killing guy. Twenty two

380
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:40.000
percent still one forward, and fifteen
percent say no. All indications are from

381
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:47.400
the Canucks. Rutherford Alvin Tacket just
reading between the lines that remember, the

382
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:51.200
trade deadline is not until early March. They're going to four weeks away.

383
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.599
I would say, Stan, pat
for now and evaluate. I agree with

384
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.759
you and Rick ten. You might
lose out on somebody you want. Rick

385
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.319
Talckett was quoted in Toronto on the
weekend, is saying you don't want to

386
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.599
upset the apple cart with too many
moves. Chemistry is huge. You have

387
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.720
come this far with this group of
guys, right, and where they got

388
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.400
you, Donny top of the NHL
standings, right, So you don't want

389
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:14.920
to add too many guys to this
group. We'll see what happens. I

390
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:18.920
could see them atting a defenseman Don
Carson. Seussy's had a ton of bad

391
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:22.319
luck with injuries. I'm sorry,
that's just been bad luck. One more

392
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:26.519
right shot defenseman I think is on
the menu too many. I know,

393
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:27.480
I know, but when he comes
back, you'll be on the left side.

394
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:32.119
But I think that too many teams
are in on Chris Tanner right now.

395
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:33.599
Don, I'm just hearing too much
heat that drives the price up.

396
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.519
The price is going to go up, and the Flames are trying to get

397
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:38.720
a first for Tanna. That's just
too much. I don't think that.

398
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:47.279
What about those the door off rumors, they're they're not there anymore. You

399
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:49.880
and they're not there if they're keeping
the door off, they're seventeen three and

400
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:53.079
four, Don with the door off
in the lineup, don't move them.

401
00:26:53.799 --> 00:27:00.240
But there was talk that you started
rather Thor shot it down. Milstein's it,

402
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.039
dont forget about it. It's done, it's over. Let's go to

403
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:08.640
another like you call it a controversial
subject, like the Zidora rumors. This

404
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:15.319
video came out during All Star Weekend
from Toronto, and Jeremy Swaman has this

405
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:19.920
tradition of hugging everybody can over there, he is hugging Jake Ottinger from the

406
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:25.200
Dallas Stars before they hit the ice, and then Thattri Demko or fellow American

407
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.759
walking down, he just ignores him
completely. I love it. I love

408
00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:32.839
it. He's focused, He's focused. It's called being focused on it.

409
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:34.640
Do you think he's focused or do
you think there was more at play there?

410
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:38.559
They're one two Canucks number one of
the National Hockey League right now,

411
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:45.279
Boston Boston number two, leading of
course their respective conferences. Thattrick Demko is

412
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.359
a smart kid. You talk to
him, Yeah, there's there's a high

413
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.519
intellect there. He knows his history. You know, Boston Vancouver playing on

414
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.000
Thursday, and what if? What
if they met and meet in a Stanley

415
00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:00.519
Cup final? And don't these guys
are human, don't tell me they're not

416
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.880
thinking that this could happen. And
then he's hugging a Bruins goaltender. That's

417
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:08.480
gonna look bad. And in what
swiming thinking trying to hug Demko? Now

418
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.319
they're both America. Do they know
each other at all? I don't think

419
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:17.559
there is there something. Careers line
up perfectly, But is there something there

420
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:21.839
that we don't we don't know about, or is it all this Bruins uh

421
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:27.039
Canucks possible the rivalry or and possibly
meeting in the Stanley Cup finals or maybe

422
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:30.480
Dempko didn't see him, didn't know
what he wanted. It'd be hard to

423
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:36.079
believe he didn't know what he wanted
because he always him and all Mark hug

424
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:38.880
after everything, every Bruins when the
Bruins goalies hug each other like that.

425
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:42.519
But I I love it. It's
a focused dep goo move up, move

426
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:45.440
out a way. I gotta get
on the ice, move out of my

427
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.720
way. This is from Scott and
the Delady's okay, tiring thing the inbox.

428
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:53.680
Don't pull a muscle with that stretch
there. I think Scott is referring

429
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:57.400
to your summary of the swimming Demko
thing. You go so if you're going

430
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:02.839
a little too deep. So if
we see a visual like that, which

431
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:07.759
and everybody, every other goaltender he
made a hug offer too, hugged him,

432
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.759
including including Otinger. Yeah, but
they were white. He walks by,

433
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:17.119
walks by him and rejects him.
He sees what he's doing, he

434
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:21.079
knows what he's up to. We're
supposed to We're supposed to just ignore that

435
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:25.599
now. I think he's just focused. All due respect to our customer there.

436
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.000
And this is another one, Hey, Dempco doesn't need to pump swingman's

437
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:32.319
tires. Yeah, that good point, A very good point where in his

438
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:36.799
contract is to say he has to
hug him nowhere. Imagine, get out

439
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:37.599
of my way. I gotta get
on the ice. I love this.

440
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:41.160
Dem did the right thing. But
if they provided an amazing clip, I

441
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.440
will say that it looks hilarious,
no matter the reason it looks hilarious.

442
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.960
What I thought it was just the
hugs were just for almost so he must

443
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:57.039
feel slighted here, right Yeah?
Maybe yeah, a relationship gone sour and

444
00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:00.119
they're playing Thursday, the Connection and
Boss on Thursday. But if there's a

445
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:07.759
goaliefight fantastic, So we're supposed to
ignore that too. Watch Homemark just he's

446
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.039
at home like a you know,
it feels like he's being cheated on here.

447
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.319
But this is great. I mean, if they meet it and I'm

448
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:18.079
we're going way too far ahead of
ourselves there. But if they were way

449
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.480
too far ahead, they're won two
in the standings right now. Okay,

450
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:25.839
it's not like a I'm sorry,
but it's not that much of a stretch.

451
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:27.119
No it is, I guess it
is. It's a stretch, man.

452
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:30.559
It is a long way Togo.
I get it, But can you

453
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:33.759
imagine they meet in the Stanley Cup
final. That is going to get played

454
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:38.839
over and over again. It's great. Apparently Bruins fans on Twitter, we're

455
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:44.480
going nuts ripping. Yeah, they
were sensitive. I think we're reading way

456
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:47.720
too I think everybody's reading way too
much into it. What if what if

457
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:49.920
somebody's yelling his name, Denico's name
or something, and so he's looking he's

458
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:52.839
kind of looking ahead. He's not
really paying attention to it. I think

459
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.599
it might have been he was locked
in. Yeah, but then again,

460
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:02.319
we're talking about All Star wheels,
right, he's not. That speaks to

461
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.319
half for death. That speaks to
the dedication of thatcher demco. No matter

462
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:11.200
the event, he's one hundred percent
focused. Do we want to talk Don

463
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:17.400
Cherry now? Sure? Save it
for later. Nineteen years. Congratulations to

464
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:22.839
former Western Hockey League Vancouver connect defenseman
Don Cherry, turning ninety years old today.

465
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:26.319
Not in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Do you miss him on Hockey

466
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.200
Night Encounter? Sure? Do?
I still think he'd be there if the

467
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.920
incident didn't happen. And you and
I, well, you and I were

468
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:37.519
on the air at the time he
got fired. I remember he was wrong

469
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.240
came down wround twelve thirty that day. I think it was a Tuesday.

470
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:42.599
But anyways, you and I were
on the air at the old station that

471
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:47.079
got blown to smither Rings and we
were talking about it. In the reaction,

472
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:51.279
What does Don do better than anyone
else? He gets reaction, whether

473
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:55.640
it's positive or negative. You're going
to react to what he says. But

474
00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:59.839
I go back to Don Cherry in
the seventies eighties when it all started.

475
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:01.559
I think it started with Dave Hodge. Did not Don you know better?

476
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:06.440
Well before Ron McLain Coaches Corner was
with Dave Hodge. Well, actually Don

477
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:08.359
started out and he was there close
to forty years at Hockey Night, and

478
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:14.039
Canna started out as an analyst.
That's it. And then he was too

479
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:17.799
much on side with Boston and Toronto
and they decided but he was great on

480
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:21.880
the air, so they decided to
come up with the Coaches Corner. Originally

481
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:27.400
with Dave Hodge. Dave threw his
pen and he was upset with CBC said

482
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:30.680
in came Ron McLean and the rest
is the rest is history. I miss

483
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:34.480
him on the air, and I'm
not sure you know. I mean,

484
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:38.519
he's nine years old all respect to
people who are older, and certainly I'm

485
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:43.160
getting there, but I'm not sure
how effective Don would be at this point.

486
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:45.599
But man, I miss him and
for him. The way he was

487
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:51.519
treated at the end by Hockey Day
Canada, Sportsnet, the way they let

488
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:53.599
him go. If you look back
at his clip, I mean it,

489
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:59.519
obviously this had a lot to do
with everything, not that that particular clip,

490
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:01.559
because you look at it and what
he was doing when he used the

491
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:06.319
phrase you people he wanted. He
wanted everybody in Canada, no matter where

492
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:08.079
you're from, no matter how long
you've been in Canada, to wear a

493
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:13.000
poppy and remember the soldiers that gave
their lives for our country. I don't

494
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:15.400
know, I don't know what's what's
wrong with that, but they had it

495
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:20.559
out for him, and for them
to let him go and not give him

496
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:24.079
a chance to say goodbye after all
these years making lots of money for those

497
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:30.319
people Hockey in Canada and sports Net
was awful. That was really really disrespectful,

498
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:34.079
and they just tossed him aside like
an old rag. And that's that

499
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:37.039
that that wasn't right. So you
can say what you want, call him

500
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:39.039
a big or whatever the case may
be, but you loved him for forty

501
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:43.599
years and then he makes this supposed
one mistake, although again I think it

502
00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:46.599
was building and you just toss him
aside really really bad. And back in

503
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:51.839
the day when hockey naighted Canada,
game started at five, don't he I

504
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:57.880
five, the first period would end
and you just waited, and back then

505
00:33:57.920 --> 00:34:00.279
we couldn't. You just waited for
coaches to see what he would say.

506
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:05.559
Because what he said had a huge
impact. But he wouldn't have got fired

507
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.199
if this happened in the eighties.
But now when you do something and you

508
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:13.199
got this scene called Twitter, and
you got five hundred million people who now

509
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:19.800
the backlash, the backlash today is
incredible for everybody not just done this happened

510
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.159
in the eighties, he wouldn't have
lost his job. And then and then

511
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:24.199
you look at some of the people
that criticized them, in particular this Jess

512
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:30.199
Allen on what's the show called The
Social and she, you know, went

513
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:36.000
as far as so far as to
criticize people who play hockey. Yeah,

514
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:42.079
people who are hot are involved in
hockey families, and she singled them out.

515
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:44.800
She came across as a bigot,
and she got to keep her job.

516
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:47.679
And it was it was just it
was a really, really ridiculous I

517
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:51.599
missed the guy. I've met him
a few times. He was a gentleman,

518
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:54.440
you know, commands an audience like
like nobody else. And I think

519
00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:59.199
every single thing that he did,
pretty much every single thing he did,

520
00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:02.400
and a lot of times it came
out the wrong way because he loves Canada

521
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:07.000
so much and he was protective of
Canadians and that was part of his stick.

522
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:12.480
But I really think he believed everything
he said. They didn't treat him

523
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:17.480
all. Saturdays were a staple for
everybody because of Don. I'm not so

524
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:22.840
sure they are anymore. I am, yeah, it's not the same.

525
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:25.119
Candeenk Counter is still very good,
don't get me wrong, but Don Cherry

526
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:30.360
was extra special. I talked about
that CBC poll earlier two thousand and four.

527
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:35.440
That's right, they pulled people across
the country. Who's the greatest Canadian.

528
00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:39.159
Tommy Douglas, the father of socialized
medicine, ended up in first place

529
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:44.440
in that poll. Don Cherry ended
up in his sabbath ahead of John A.

530
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:49.960
McDonald, the first Prime Minister,
Alexander Graham Bell you know with the

531
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:54.920
phone phone, and Wayne Gretzky.
So that's how popular he was at the

532
00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:58.519
time. I'll tell you what I'll
never forget. I know, we're running

533
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:01.000
out of time here, right,
I'll never forget being in the Colisseum And

534
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:06.239
this happened in households across the country. But I'll never forget being at the

535
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:09.440
Colisseum and the old mos Bulson Lounge, and there are all sorts of NHL

536
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:14.400
heavyweights in that lounge at the time. Pack Quinn was there, and it

537
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:17.760
was during a Cannocks Hockey Night in
Canada broadcast. And I'm down there getting

538
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:22.000
a refreshment, a meal or whatever
the case may be. In between periods.

539
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:27.360
Don Cherry comes on and all those
you know, the old hockey types,

540
00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:31.480
the big names, everybody be quiet
upposed the volume and they all listened

541
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:36.599
to Don Jerry. And there's very
who else has been like that in Canada.

542
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:39.079
Well there's you, and that's about
it. He also pissed off Cannucks

543
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:43.119
management over the years too. I
mean, like I remember Brian Brick whin

544
00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:46.840
happened. Everybody watched it because they
knew what he said. Pissed off pa

545
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:52.480
Quinn when he went after to Burray
back in early pa got mad at him.

546
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:53.840
Pack Quinn got mad at him as
well. You're right, yeah,

547
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:59.880
yeah, and they're I think they
considered themselves a France. But hey,

548
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:02.679
always a reaction with Don Cherry and
that's not her base with a lot of

549
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:07.199
broadcasters, with a lot of people
today, and again, I think the

550
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:09.880
root of it was his love for
the country. Okay, we're gonna take

551
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:15.400
a break now and get ready for
big ride the Twitter guy. But this

552
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.159
was one of Don Cherry's most famous
rants. I'm not sure if the female

553
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:23.280
members of our audience will love it, but this is one of his all

554
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:30.480
time rants regarding pucks going into the
crowd at hockey games. Don Cherry,

555
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:34.960
as we get ready for big Ride
the Twitter guy, I gotta say something

556
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:37.119
now. This isn't funny when I'm
going to say and you women are going

557
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:38.920
to get mad at me out there. But I was standing out in the

558
00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:42.880
hall here in the first five minutes
and it was a tip shot. A

559
00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:45.000
guy tried to get it over the
blue line, and a guy tipped it

560
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:49.679
and come up right over my head
and hit this poor lady in the face.

561
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:52.639
I'm telling you, when you come
to the games, keep your eyes

562
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:57.800
on the puck and I'm telling you
I've seen some awful smacks and it's always

563
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:00.159
a woman yapping away there. Look
at the game. Lots of fans.

564
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:07.000
What are you talking? Both job
and talking about the game. Him.

yesterday, guys, we haven't talked about

585
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:54.199
yet. We now know how many
games Vancouver is going to get for the

586
00:39:54.239 --> 00:40:00.960
twenty twenty six World Cup. How
many games will he? What am I

587
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.400
stealing your thunder? Yeah? We
were gonna save that for later. We're

588
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:05.880
gonna talk. You know what usually
happens when we save things for later,

589
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:07.000
we don't get to them. So
that's why I'm going to get to them

590
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:10.199
right now. Go ahead. You
know how we have a pre show meeting.

591
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:15.599
Yeah, two hours attention. Yeah, Don Cherrywood. Yeah, sure,

592
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:20.800
Canada is going to get to host
thirteen matches. This is from James

593
00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:23.280
Dutty, who was on the Did
you guys watch any of the broadcast yesterday?

594
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:30.159
It was bizarre Kevin Hart was involved, Kim Kardashian, Drake, James

595
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:34.639
Dutty, Well, why why are
all these random people being involved in for

596
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.960
World Cup schedule announcement? What do
you think? Well, I know that'sh

597
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:38.599
I get it. I get it. I get it anyway, and when

598
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:44.159
you talk about somebody outside the sporting
world more eyeballs. Definitely. Yeah.

599
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:50.199
So Canada is going to hurst host
thirteen games, seven in Vancouver and only

600
00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:55.119
six in Toronto. Vancouver beats out
Toronto for one of the first times ever.

601
00:40:55.639 --> 00:41:00.480
Canada opens in Toronto on June the
twelfth, twenty twenty sixth then flies

602
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:05.119
to Vancouver for their other two group
games. Each city hosts five group stage

603
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:08.760
games and one round of thirty two
games. Vancouver gets the loan Round of

604
00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:13.920
sixteen match at the World Cup.
So again another one up for Vancouver here.

605
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:15.360
Why do you say you sound you
know why? I'm a surprised Vancouver

606
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:17.599
Toronto. I'll tell you why.
I'm so surprised. Why are you doing

607
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:21.880
that? Don't forget Vancouver was almost
out of this whole thing altogether. Yeah,

608
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:24.239
they were almost not even part of
the World Cup. Well they were

609
00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:29.079
technically they were, but then they
come back in and they're hosting more games

610
00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:32.159
in Toronto. We got one more
game because look at the history of the

611
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:37.199
crowds and the supporting women and men's
soccer. But the size of the STA

612
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:42.639
it's sad. But they got SkyDome
still live. No, but demo they're

613
00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:46.039
they're using bemo. SkyDome will be
Blue Jays or it's in June. Yeah,

614
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:51.039
they'll still be alive. And well, because you don't remember FIFA needs

615
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:53.679
these facilities for it's not like,
you know, three days, So I

616
00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:57.480
don't know how they could potentially,
like the J's would have to be on

617
00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:00.719
like almost a month long world Yeah, probably if they do that. I

618
00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:02.679
got some other tweets here to get
to regarding this though, and the announcement.

619
00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:08.239
So this is another one from Duffy
that Canada wins its group, they

620
00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:12.519
will stay in Vancouver for the Round
of thirty two game and also that Round

621
00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:16.480
of sixteen game. So there's a
chance that five Canadian games could be played

622
00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:19.880
in Canada, and four of which
could be in Vancouver. Here are the

623
00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:22.800
dates, by the way for the
Canadian games. So they're in Toronto,

624
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:28.360
as I mentioned, Friday, June
the twelfth, in Vancouver Thursday, June

625
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:31.280
the eighteenth, and in Vancouver on
Wednesday, June the twenty fourth. So

626
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:36.719
that is what's happening with the World
Cup here in Vancouver for twenty twenty six.

627
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:39.800
Seattle, by the way, they're
getting six and they're getting one US

628
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:44.000
men's national team match as well down
the I five. So that's a big

629
00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:46.400
coolat that'll be a lumen that'll be
at LUMI. Yeah yeah, I mean

630
00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:51.239
again, but it's all off season, so I mean outside the Sounders,

631
00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:53.320
but the MLS will be shut down
a course, so it's a big day

632
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:58.559
yesterday. Help me out. I'm
behind on this story, which is unusual.

633
00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:04.440
Yeah, every facility will have grass
for the twenty twenty six. Is

634
00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:07.199
that gonna work? Well, I
mean I know you do guarding on the

635
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:10.079
side. No, but like I'm
assuming, and again I maybe shouldn't,

636
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:13.960
but it might be a situation.
I mean, look at they roll grass

637
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:17.559
in and out well, but they
also Arizona, right, they roll that

638
00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:23.039
grass and that building is made for
that particular situation. Yes, I think

639
00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:29.440
Vegas the grass gets rolled up outside
building outside, it grows there, they

640
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:32.280
roll it back in DC Place,
isn't like that? What comes to mind

641
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:37.159
for me? Do you remember the
exhibition game I believe white Caps against Manchester

642
00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:39.960
City? Yes, and it was
all that and it was awful player.

643
00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:45.840
Yeah, I remember that when they
laid down the grass on the artificial turf.

644
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:47.840
Yeah, it was bad. I'm
gonna guess with FIFA being involved here

645
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:52.119
and time has passed since then,
I think it's going to be top notch.

646
00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:54.199
I think they'll have no problem.
It'll just be interesting because I'm going

647
00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:58.400
to assume, and again maybe I
shouldn't, but I'm going to assume that

648
00:43:58.519 --> 00:44:05.920
we're looking at that being in still
probably post Lion season November twenty twenty five.

649
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:07.760
Yeah, they got to strike,
so the white Caps will probably be

650
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:12.800
playing on it for a couple of
months prior to the World Cup. I'm

651
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:15.400
gonna I'm again, I'm assuming that
whole twenty twenty sixth period will have grass

652
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:20.559
in BC Place. I don't think
they hold on a sect like what you're

653
00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:22.440
talking about. November, they would
have the grass in there after the Lions

654
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.599
season. After that well, because
the white Caps started getting in February,

655
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:30.039
so sometime between that time, right, I don't think they're gonna do it

656
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:31.920
during the Cap season. Again,
I could be wrong, but I would

657
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:36.840
just I would think that that that's
the off period in BC place. I'm

658
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:42.800
not ed Hume that's an old dated
reference there, but or I'm not art

659
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:45.639
nap how about that? Okay,
I know that our nap. But putting

660
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:51.119
the grass in November, that's a
long time until June. You know last

661
00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:53.599
time I checked on a lot of
sunshine. Yeah, maintain it in other

662
00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:59.199
ways again, thank got ways to
do this, as like Don Cherry.

663
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:01.679
Now, I'm just asked the question. I think what they should That opening

664
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:06.239
is not that large discs. Then
you need sunlight for grass to thrive.

665
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:08.360
I think I think they should put
the old Astro turf in that they had

666
00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:12.159
in the nineties in there. Put
that down and let them play on it.

667
00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:15.119
Put the old Astra trip that they
had an Empire. Yeah, like

668
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:20.719
some of those little shots, it
was just green ball creek. How did

669
00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:23.679
they play on that? How did
the leagues allow these guys to play on

670
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:29.280
that surface? Like it's just shocking
to me. Well, that wasn't the

671
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:31.679
only one. No, No,
I was run of the mill. Staius

672
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:35.239
run of the mill. It I
mean, he's the going thing. Yeah.

673
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:38.559
Speaking of a giant stadium, MetLife
Stadium is the host of the final

674
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:43.800
for the World Cup, which is
not a huge surprise. Apparently they beat

675
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:49.039
out Dallas in LA to host the
final, but time zone Eastern time zone.

676
00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:51.920
Yeah, I think there's a lot
of the New York sources shock exactly

677
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:54.760
exactly. So that's happening for the
twenty twenty six World Cup. It'll be

678
00:45:54.840 --> 00:45:59.119
a lottery system to get tickets and
that'll be all anounced down the road.

679
00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:01.880
There's one thing I want to mention. We'll save it for our next open.

680
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:05.920
So is that okay with it?
Absolutely? Absolutely? I want to

681
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:09.320
get to this clip. Now,
hold on, because on the weekend,

682
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:15.400
uh, Doc Rivers and the Milwaukee
were you actually that's a second story you

683
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:22.280
store. Doc Rivers and the Milwaukee
Bucks beat the Dallas Mavericks and because of

684
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:27.280
that, Doc Rivers is now heading
to the NBA All Star Game. He

685
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:29.760
picked up. That was his first
win by the way, as Bucks head

686
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:34.679
coach. The record's okay, he's
Uh, he's one and two since being

687
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:38.599
hired by Milwaukee on January the twenty
sixth. So again, this is kind

688
00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:45.320
of like talking going. It's all
winning record based right as to why these

689
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:49.400
coaches are going. So Milwaukee has
the record, hence Doc Rivers. So

690
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:53.239
Doc was asked about a postgame and
his response was very honest and pretty funny.

691
00:46:53.280 --> 00:47:05.079
Too ridiculously bad, it really is. Well, he's gonna get some

692
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:08.679
money, that's for sure, and
a ring. You know, it's one

693
00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:13.920
of these quirky things. I think
there should be a rule somehow that someone

694
00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:20.159
else does it other than me.
Maybe I'll send my staff and I'll go

695
00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:25.119
on vacation. I'm gonna run that
by Silver. I think he's a he's

696
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:30.519
you know, Adam's a good man. I think he'll understand. So maybe

697
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:32.400
that is what happens. He's talking
about Adrian Griffin, who he replaced the

698
00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:36.159
winning record. And I didn't know
this. The coaches getting rings, they

699
00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:38.119
get All Star rings for being the
coach. I don't know what talking he

700
00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:40.880
was talking about. It again,
that's what I think, you know they

701
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:45.440
get, they get they get rings
as an All Star. Yeah, I

702
00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:47.400
know, awesome, Yeah I know. But a ring is tied to a

703
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:51.000
championship in my mind, Like,
did talk it get anything? I don't

704
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:52.800
know. Maybe did he get a
ring for being a coach at the All

705
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:58.599
Star Game. I don't know.
I'm saying gold sticker or something, thank

706
00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:00.960
you for attending. I don't know, but uh, Doc, Doc was

707
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:06.079
funny and I don't blame him for
saying, you know, he might send

708
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:08.320
a stackish it it is. I
mean, there's got and maybe this is

709
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:12.920
just the first time this situation has
ever happened where it's so close to the

710
00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:15.760
All Star Game and the team is
where they are, They've never had to

711
00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:19.079
deal with it before. But there's
gotta be theyve could have done better,

712
00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:22.079
and I think Doc would Yeah,
and maybe they would pick the next guy.

713
00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:23.400
The NBA might fix it, right, I mean Adam Silver in the

714
00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:29.280
NBA might fix it before the All
Star Game is happening on February eighteenth in

715
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:34.480
Indianapolis. So he didn't sound like
you wanted to go well, because it's

716
00:48:34.519 --> 00:48:36.880
embarrassing, like Donnie says, like, no, but he just wanted the

717
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:39.079
week off, like he wants the
week off. Yeah, No, I

718
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:43.480
think it's he's more embarrassment. You're
taking credit for another guy's hard work.

719
00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:47.440
I mean, let's be honest here, right, Uh okay. Coming up

720
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:52.480
next, we have Kevin Woodley joining

well? Very well? Before WHOA.

741
00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:28.360
This still has to do with the
Caducks, but this is regarding All Star

742
00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:35.400
weekend of what was going on Thatcher
Demco rejecting Jeremy Swayman's hug in Toronto.

743
00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:39.239
What do you think I'm listening like
not ever, everyone's a hugger, right,

744
00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:42.840
I gotta be honest. I don't
know. Maybe this was a bit.

745
00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:45.159
Maybe as so many Knucks fans yeah, are hoping for, it was

746
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:49.519
a I'm not hugging a Bruin.
Maybe he does truly, he's embraced the

747
00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:53.239
whole hate the Bruins dating back to
twenty eleven. Or maybe and listen,

748
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:57.960
I this is this is the fine
line I walk and Rick knows this one.

749
00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:00.199
Well, I'm not texting Thatcher demk
to ask him about the hug.

750
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:06.559
And in some ways, that is
why I think it probably happened. Like

751
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:10.119
I'll give you an example, Edding
bol we did forty five minute video sit

752
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:14.280
down with Thatcher last year where he
broke down plays for US Hockey, talk

753
00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:17.960
like why he choose a certain save, certain depth selection, everything. He

754
00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:22.559
was brilliant and so gracious with his
time when it came to hockey, But

755
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:28.480
I just don't think he has a
lot of time for anything that's performative,

756
00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:30.559
for lack of a better term,
And that may be like if I was

757
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:34.480
guessing and again no information, that
would be what I'm guessing here. Like

758
00:51:34.599 --> 00:51:37.679
this is just there are times when
he's serious, and when he's serious,

759
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:39.280
he's not into this kind of thing. And we've sort of seen it on

760
00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:43.079
the media side. Even me as
gracious as he was with his time on

761
00:51:43.159 --> 00:51:45.079
the video stuff, you know,
he's not gonna sit down and break down

762
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:47.840
why he tapes his stick the way
he does, even though there are other

763
00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:52.360
guys, pro hockey players or pro
goalies I know that take their stick the

764
00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:55.679
same way. Because Thatcher does it
that way, so I think just that's

765
00:51:55.760 --> 00:51:59.519
my guess. It was somewhat performative, and that's not the kind of stuff

766
00:51:59.519 --> 00:52:01.039
he has a lot of extra time
for. And Rick talk it has gone

767
00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:06.039
on record several times as saying the
one thing that impresses the most about Thatcher

768
00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:09.119
Dampco, other than his ability to
stop pucks, is that he's all business.

769
00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:13.199
Can we run that video again,
Ryan, if you don't mind,

770
00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:16.760
or Derek, if you could run
that video again, you'll notice here Thatcher

771
00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:21.119
Dampco. I will see him coming
to screen in a second with the all

772
00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:24.639
white pads, all white gloves.
And I know you wanted to talk about

773
00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:30.280
this, Kevin Canucks. Maybe this
is and Clark aren't fans of their goalies

774
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:36.280
wearing dark gear? Pats explain well, well, so this is something I

775
00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:38.199
got a lot of questions about because
obviously the next day Thatcher came out with

776
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:45.000
the retro all black set with the
yeah flying skate, and then a lot

777
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:47.199
of people are running like, hey, like why haven't we had that during

778
00:52:47.239 --> 00:52:52.079
the season? That would look spectacular
And the rule of thumb here is basically

779
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:55.079
it comes from in Clark. It's
that you want white on the outer edges.

780
00:52:55.159 --> 00:52:58.960
You can have color on the inside, but the outer edges of the

781
00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:04.360
equipment needs to be white. And
the idea is to create visual ambiguity in

782
00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:07.320
the eyes of a shooter, right
like in that split second, less than

783
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:09.119
a second, when a shooter looks
up and sees what you're filling and what

784
00:53:09.239 --> 00:53:15.159
you're not. Dark lines on the
outer edge of your gear create a frame.

785
00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:19.320
They create an immediate sort of this
is where your coverage ends and the

786
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:22.800
net begins. And so the concept
here, and we've seen it embraced by

787
00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:27.639
all the goalies you know that have
come through here, is that that split

788
00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:30.679
second in a game of you know, half inches and half seconds, if

789
00:53:30.760 --> 00:53:32.639
that matters, we're going to take
advantage of it. Now. The other

790
00:53:32.719 --> 00:53:36.679
question I got a lot online after
this was why does Casey de Smith have

791
00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:38.000
black pads? Why was he able
to get away with it? And the

792
00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:44.239
simple answer is he was told to
order a set before the season to match

793
00:53:44.320 --> 00:53:46.079
these jerseys, and he ordered it
before he knew what the rules were,

794
00:53:46.159 --> 00:53:51.880
and given how infrequently he's likely to
play at home in those jerseys where they

795
00:53:51.920 --> 00:53:54.360
wear them, the decision was made
to just let him do it. Kevin

796
00:53:54.679 --> 00:54:05.800
Dempko has started thirty five games that
only three goalies have started. Somebody getting

797
00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:07.440
a phone call here? Who's that? That's got to be you? Woodley,

798
00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:10.880
No, I got some phone calls. I was wright, Kevin.

799
00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:15.039
If you don't mind, we'd like
to have this entire interview with music in

800
00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:17.760
the background. I think it'll add
something, so I'll tell you that that's

801
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:22.840
okay, we'll continue. Hey,
I may not addressed up in the you

802
00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:24.280
know, the Hawaiian shirt for Dolly
today, but I'm still a pro.

803
00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:27.880
I got this on do not disturb
on this. I'll tell you that scared

804
00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:29.719
the hell out of me. That
was booming into my head set. I

805
00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:31.960
was like, what the heck?
Okay, let me try to rephrase where

806
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:38.079
I was at. DEMP goes up. Sorry, Kevin Live TV. You

807
00:54:38.159 --> 00:54:45.440
can't beat it, Kevin Focus fifty
nine starts. I'm telling my Shevin's okay.

808
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:49.000
DEMP goes up pace for fifty nine
starts his career high sixty four.

809
00:54:49.079 --> 00:54:52.360
How do you think they manage him
down the stretch? Listen, Kevin's just

810
00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:57.840
happy to have the full Rick Dolly
Wall experience today. I ate like that's

811
00:54:58.119 --> 00:55:00.400
sort of maybe a little above your
idea window. I think we've seen this

812
00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:04.639
come down over the years, you
know, seventies into sixty five to sixty

813
00:55:04.719 --> 00:55:06.880
and now I think I think in
term brother fort even said it going in

814
00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:09.239
the season, like the idea would
be fifty five. I haven't looked at

815
00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:12.519
how many back to backs they have
left. I apologize, Rick, so

816
00:55:12.559 --> 00:55:16.639
automatic three sets, Yeah, so
obviously you're only knocking three off off what's

817
00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:21.280
left. There's no way he's starting
thirty. More So, listen, if

818
00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:24.079
anything in between fifty five and fifty
nine, like in that window, I

819
00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:28.280
think is fine. I think ideally
you want to get him down and the

820
00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:30.519
focus becomes not so much on games
play, it is how's the body feel?

821
00:55:30.639 --> 00:55:35.559
And this is a conversation that goes
on constantly between him and Ian Clark,

822
00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:37.840
and I am imagining the medical staff
as well. How's the body feel?

823
00:55:38.519 --> 00:55:42.800
How's the mental because the reality is
a lot of the fatigue is sort

824
00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:45.880
of the grind mentally on these goalies
these days, and you know, sort

825
00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:49.800
of find that line between not playing
him too much and making sure he's still

826
00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:52.440
got a little bit of rhythm,
a little bit of timing and feels good

827
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:53.960
about his game. You know,
try and get him. Let's let's be

828
00:55:54.079 --> 00:55:58.519
realistic. The first six weeks of
the season were unbelievable, how good he

829
00:55:58.760 --> 00:56:00.920
was. Trying to find him,
get him an opportunity to get closer back

830
00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:04.159
to the form he showed at the
start of the season. Then, you

831
00:56:04.239 --> 00:56:07.119
know, some of them more consistent
but lesser highs over the last couple of

832
00:56:07.159 --> 00:56:12.239
months. You know, Kevin,
we're getting hints from management to keep an

833
00:56:12.280 --> 00:56:15.480
eye on Absburg because there might need
some Like there's ten free agents on this

834
00:56:15.599 --> 00:56:20.800
Canucks roster. One of them a
UF is Casey de Smith. If they

835
00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:23.679
don't re sign him, do you
think Archer c Lobs next year could be

836
00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:28.400
the backup? Oh, Casey with
his raw numbers, is playing himself into

837
00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:30.119
a raise. And I don't know
what the cap situation is gonna look xt

838
00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:34.480
year. And you know, I
know in the offseason too, like La

839
00:56:34.599 --> 00:56:38.679
made a coaching change at the goalie
coach position and brought in Mike Buckley,

840
00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:43.159
who Jim Rutherford knows very well from
his time in Pittsburgh. He hired him,

841
00:56:43.159 --> 00:56:47.320
he extended him right before he left
in Pittsburgh. And there's a relationship

842
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:51.239
there between Casey and Mike. I
think they still work together in the offseason.

843
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:53.119
There's a team that could be looking
for goaltending help and a Casey to

844
00:56:53.159 --> 00:56:57.320
Smith might fit the bill there.
So I think it might be hard to

845
00:56:57.360 --> 00:57:00.239
bring Casey to Smith back. And
so yeah, oh listen, when we

846
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:04.559
saw Sea Loves last year, I
think what impressed me the most was how

847
00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:08.639
quickly he adjusted to the NHL game, the adaptations he made in terms of

848
00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:14.440
not overplaying things technically, he got
better. It was a brief stint,

849
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:16.000
but he got better as it went
on, and I think that's promising,

850
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:20.639
combined with the performance he had obviously
at the World Championships, but just day

851
00:57:20.679 --> 00:57:23.199
and day out at the American Hockey
League. He's bought in completely to what

852
00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:27.840
Ian Clark teaches, and I think
that he's a guy that's at the very

853
00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:31.679
least worthy of having a shot if
you don't bring back Casey, and then

854
00:57:31.719 --> 00:57:35.599
you just need to make sure you
find somebody behind him. So that sort

855
00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:38.880
of in case of emergency, break
blast guy, whether it's Sea Loves needing

856
00:57:38.960 --> 00:57:44.320
more time as the season goes on, not getting enough starts, or injury,

857
00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:45.840
right, you always need three or
four anyways, So I think he's

858
00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:50.159
very capable of stepping into that role
next season, especially if it's a cost

859
00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:52.840
cutting move for the Canucks in terms
of not being able to afforard what the

860
00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:55.559
Smith brings or he's going to command
and being able to get our churst here

861
00:57:55.559 --> 00:58:00.440
at a lesser number. You're a
pro, Kevin. You handle that musical

862
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:04.239
interruption way better than we did,
so we appreciate this. We'll get you

863
00:58:04.360 --> 00:58:07.719
back on the show soon that my
poser, guys, thanks for having me.

864
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:12.000
You bet Kevin Woodley from NHL dot
com and in Goal Magazine, what

865
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:15.119
happened? What happened there right out
of nowhere, and it was elevator was

866
00:58:15.199 --> 00:58:17.920
at our end. What happened?
So we got a phone call at the

867
00:58:19.000 --> 00:58:22.400
exact same time. But I don't
think it was supposed to come through where

868
00:58:22.559 --> 00:58:28.000
Kevin's Derek stink. No, no, no, no. I just didn't

869
00:58:28.039 --> 00:58:31.480
think this was a possibility. And
it's literally the only time this has happened

870
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:36.599
since we've been using zoom on the
show. So somebody was calling us at

871
00:58:36.639 --> 00:58:39.079
the same time, So Kevin didn't
hear the ringtone, but you guys definitely

872
00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:43.039
did. Oh. I thought I
was in an elevator going up. I

873
00:58:43.199 --> 00:58:45.519
was just it was elevator music.
That was our that's our apparently that's our

874
00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:51.920
ringtone when people call welld just in
case people thought we weren't live. Yeah,

875
00:58:52.559 --> 00:58:57.239
there's And you're saying for Woodley to
stay focused, but you you were

876
00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:00.320
the one that needed to read the
headset. Will I'm in the again.

877
00:59:00.360 --> 00:59:04.880
It's coming through again? Really?
What Ryan? You got to fix this?

878
00:59:05.719 --> 00:59:08.960
Who is it? Who is uh? Is it? Rutherford? Jimmy

879
00:59:09.119 --> 00:59:15.480
says, Noble b Noble the bookstore
Noble. That's a Noble, Barnes and

880
00:59:15.559 --> 00:59:19.559
Noble, Barnes and Noble. We
just closed. It's gone by the messy.

881
00:59:19.760 --> 00:59:23.480
Yeah, I believe they closed it. Okay, that's a yeah,

882
00:59:24.840 --> 00:59:30.559
close businesses for four hundred dollars.
Uh. Poll question. We'll updated next.

883
00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:35.280
And there's something else soccer wise.
I wanted to talk about, Okay,

884
00:59:36.039 --> 00:59:40.159

Our bet ninety nine dot net poll
question, what other move should the Canucks

893
01:00:21.320 --> 01:00:23.159
make before the trade deadline? At
a defenseman? At a forward? Don't

894
01:00:23.199 --> 01:00:29.360
make another move? Leading the way
at sixty four percent at a defenseman almost

sixteen hundred votes already and again.
The Canucks playing in Carolina tomorrow with number

line, Patterson in the middle,
lit them on the right side. Mckayev

898
01:00:43.920 --> 01:00:45.599

home in front of the net,
Besser, Miller, Peterson and quin Us

903
01:01:02.559 --> 01:01:09.679
So yeah, that's not a Shockerlenholme
takes a Kuzmico spot there yep, and

904
01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:15.280
Kuzmenko for people just tuning in.
We showed footage earlier of him at practice

905
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:17.679
with the Flint. Looked strange in
red, like you said, Rick,

906
01:01:17.920 --> 01:01:23.400
and they're in Boston to take on
the Bruins tomorrow. He is scheduled to

907
01:01:23.480 --> 01:01:29.039
be on Powerplay one with the Flames
and to start anyway and their top line

908
01:01:29.039 --> 01:01:32.679
in Calgary. Meanwhile, business Tuesday, February sixth, Able Auctions will sell

earlier and we'll get to some more business

916
01:02:07.280 --> 01:02:12.079
from you, Eric in a bit. We talked earlier about what's happening with

917
01:02:12.280 --> 01:02:16.920
World Cup twenty twenty six. Canada
is going to host thirteen matches, seven

918
01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:22.519
of them at BC Place, the
other six at Bimo Field in Toronto.

919
01:02:22.679 --> 01:02:27.880
And we talked about this earlier,
how you don't often see that situation where

920
01:02:28.199 --> 01:02:32.159
Vancouver is going to get more events
than Toronto. The universe has to do

921
01:02:32.320 --> 01:02:37.760
with the size of the stadium.
I wanted to mention this, and I

922
01:02:37.800 --> 01:02:42.239
don't. I don't mean to be
negative here. I'm just gonna state of

923
01:02:42.320 --> 01:02:49.199
fact. But Messi the on.
Messi and inter Miami are scheduled to come

924
01:02:49.320 --> 01:02:52.400
to BC Place to take on the
white Caps May twenty fifth. We're all

925
01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:55.719
excited about that. Everybody bought tickets. You know where where we're at with

926
01:02:55.800 --> 01:03:00.840
ticket sales, Ryan, they must
be skyrocket. I think it's sold out.

927
01:03:00.840 --> 01:03:04.159
I believe I remember fifty thousand last
Yeah. I might not be officially

928
01:03:04.159 --> 01:03:08.360
officially sold out, but it's pretty
close. So this isn't an MLS game,

929
01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:12.440
not a regular season game, clearly
not a playoff game, but a

930
01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:16.440
friendly in Hong Kong over the weekend
anter Miami was scheduled or they played the

931
01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:22.039
Hong Kong eleven and Messi and people
shelled out for this, right. They

932
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:27.920
shelled out between one hundred and thirteen
and six hundred and twenty four dollars.

933
01:03:28.760 --> 01:03:31.039
He didn't show up. He didn't
show up. Didn't show up? Now

934
01:03:31.079 --> 01:03:37.360
that it Suarez so on inter Miami's
roster as well. Louis swore pretty good

935
01:03:37.360 --> 01:03:39.960
at him not to show up.
All those fans expected him show up,

936
01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:45.280
paid big money for him. Yeah, but do you worry about you hear

937
01:03:45.360 --> 01:03:47.920
this story? Yeah, and it
just seems like something. I hate to

938
01:03:47.960 --> 01:03:51.559
say it, but I mean you
might expect this sort of thing, and

939
01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:54.000
then you've got all these people in
Vancouver, you know, waiting for Messy.

940
01:03:54.039 --> 01:03:58.679
I mean, he might get injured, so there's that, But to

941
01:03:58.840 --> 01:04:00.880
not show up and that last time
I checked on Twitter, there was nothing,

942
01:04:00.960 --> 01:04:04.679
no real explanation. And if it
was hurt, whatever the case may

943
01:04:04.719 --> 01:04:09.960
be, what what? What a
disappointment? Maybe maybe different though, because

944
01:04:11.119 --> 01:04:15.639
an exhibition game friendly versus a regular
season game. So I hope it all

945
01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:21.239
works out. After the match,
mess Miami coach explained Messi's absence was due

946
01:04:21.239 --> 01:04:28.360
to injury. Oh, Messi had
been quotes nursing in an inductor injury during

947
01:04:28.440 --> 01:04:31.440
Miami's preseason tour. Why didn't the
announce that before? That's a good question.

948
01:04:31.960 --> 01:04:36.920
Uh So they won Miami won four
to one. He was in attendance.

949
01:04:36.960 --> 01:04:40.239
It's not like he wasn't in the
building. Okay, there you know,

950
01:04:40.400 --> 01:04:43.039
he was an unused sub and by
the way, Hong Kong officials,

951
01:04:43.519 --> 01:04:47.440
the government, the Hong Kong government
issued a statement asking demanding an explanation.

952
01:04:48.159 --> 01:04:51.800
Government. Yeah, well, you
know what, at least he showed up.

953
01:04:53.559 --> 01:04:56.840
Did he shake hands and kiss babies
that I don't know autographs, But

954
01:04:56.920 --> 01:04:59.199
he was in the building. He
was in the building. Okay, then

955
01:04:59.199 --> 01:05:00.239
I have no issues with then it
was an injury. Well, no,

956
01:05:00.360 --> 01:05:03.480
they should have said something beforehand.
But at least he showed up. And

957
01:05:03.719 --> 01:05:08.320
we remember member Terry, he's the
famous one. He didn't even didn't didn't

958
01:05:08.320 --> 01:05:11.440
show up, never got on the
plane. And Beckham played here Beckham and

959
01:05:11.760 --> 01:05:15.840
missed the first one I think in
Vancouver. But but Tyryanrey didn't even show

960
01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:17.039
show up. At least show up. Well, that's a lot of what

961
01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:20.360
people are just coming to see your
face in person. Well, but and

962
01:05:20.400 --> 01:05:24.039
again we've talked about this before,
like this, this is where you lose

963
01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:29.440
me on the whole. Liono Messi
is going to change soccer in America or

964
01:05:29.480 --> 01:05:31.519
not. America doesn't link the turf. So if he's if and we have

965
01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:33.920
no evidence yet by the way,
we don't have evidence that he's not going

966
01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:38.320
to play here. He might.
He might nobody did. I'm throwing this

967
01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:40.920
out as a fact. But if
that does occur, then that's where you

968
01:05:41.039 --> 01:05:44.480
lose me, because you know,
again, if he hasn't hasty play here,

969
01:05:44.800 --> 01:05:47.760
do you think having no scheduled Miami
and said, hey, you know

970
01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:50.519
what, we're gonna open it up
when we expect sixty thousand, is your

971
01:05:50.559 --> 01:05:53.800
guy coming? I mean, come
on that conversation. Take him. But

972
01:05:54.039 --> 01:05:58.119
Rick, this precedent, it's happened
where people don't show up. Yeah,

973
01:05:58.360 --> 01:06:02.440
well Pele played here at Empires Stadium
and that hell yeah, Franz Beckenbauer was

974
01:06:02.480 --> 01:06:05.679
here in Vancouver. Well see.
And the thing that doesn't go it's not

975
01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:13.599
in the favor of the Caps is
Miami plays at home versus Heavy United,

976
01:06:13.840 --> 01:06:18.239
then comes here, then goes home
and plays Atlanta. Yeah, well so

977
01:06:18.360 --> 01:06:21.119
that that's not great. But I
will say this to Rick's point, I

978
01:06:21.159 --> 01:06:25.159
think the MLS was involved here.
I had heard that one of the reasons

979
01:06:25.199 --> 01:06:28.159
why Vancouver got the game, kind
of like the World Cup situation, is

980
01:06:28.239 --> 01:06:30.960
stadium size. That's why they put
the game here in Vancouver because of the

981
01:06:31.079 --> 01:06:35.239
market size and the stadium size that
the white Caps can offer up compared to

982
01:06:35.320 --> 01:06:40.440
some other MLS clubs that might have
smaller seal. Okay, he said,

983
01:06:40.760 --> 01:06:43.519
he said, he's not has no
problem with turf. He played on it

984
01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:46.039
as a caball throwing each other.
No problem with the turf. But yeah,

985
01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:53.199
I agree, you got business.
Absolutely look at this Pastime Sports celebrating

986
01:06:53.239 --> 01:06:57.840
thirty years of being BC's number one
car to member billion shop Thursday, February

987
01:06:57.880 --> 01:07:01.159

Sports dot ye or their social channels.

992
01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:24.000
Front of the laptop. So before
we get to the close up here,

993
01:07:24.119 --> 01:07:28.760
this card is a high high of
high value. Okay, on today's show.

994
01:07:29.400 --> 01:07:30.480
You can show it now, Derek, look at this. My parents

995
01:07:30.559 --> 01:07:39.000
were cleaning out some files. Look
at this. For those it was you

996
01:07:39.199 --> 01:07:42.840
that say Henderson's never played his part. He doesn't what he's talking about this

997
01:07:43.360 --> 01:07:48.880
hockey. This is Ryan Henderson's ballhawky
Surrey Minor ball Hockey aged fourteen, two

998
01:07:48.920 --> 01:07:53.840
thousand. The Rangers, I believe, is the team. I was looking

999
01:07:53.840 --> 01:07:59.519
exactly the same. I know,
I know it's the hair, So it

1000
01:07:59.679 --> 01:08:03.360
does is. I did play a
few seasons in the Surrey Minor Ball Hockey

1001
01:08:03.519 --> 01:08:08.239
League. I still need video proofs. I don't buy that you can make

1002
01:08:08.320 --> 01:08:11.239
cards up like that in two seconds
from two thousand and five. Yeah,

1003
01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:14.920
come on, I need video preacher. No, no, hey, nothing

1004
01:08:14.960 --> 01:08:18.399
wrong with ball hockey. I was
a star. I was good in ball

1005
01:08:18.439 --> 01:08:23.359
hockey. I had great hands.
Nine No, I had great hands like

1006
01:08:23.600 --> 01:08:25.880
I got picked first all the time
in every game. You were Tony,

1007
01:08:26.479 --> 01:08:30.920
I was twenty ten. You're playing
by yourself, so we all picked teams.

1008
01:08:30.920 --> 01:08:35.359
I always went first over okay,
uh. DTMZ is next, And

1009
01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:42.520
as we go to break, we
say happy ninetieth ninetieth birthday ninetieth to Don

1010
01:08:43.319 --> 01:08:46.600
Cherry. Some more classic Don.
As we go to break, DTMZ next,

1011
01:08:47.279 --> 01:08:53.000
has anybody ever seen Stevie Eiserman cheap
shot it? Have you? I

1012
01:08:53.159 --> 01:08:56.640
haven't. I've never seen anybody spear
him, knock him down, punch him

1013
01:08:56.640 --> 01:09:01.079
in the face. And I wonder
into a post Dommy, don't be stupid

1014
01:09:01.359 --> 01:09:04.760
anyhow have you ever seen him chief
shot it? You never will? You

1015
01:09:04.880 --> 01:09:10.399
know why? Because Bobby Provet's there, number twenty four. He will never

1016
01:09:10.520 --> 01:09:14.399
be chief shot it because he's got
a policeman. And I guarantee you if

1017
01:09:14.479 --> 01:09:17.760
Pittsburgh had Bobby Provert, mary O
would not have the injuries he's got.

1018
01:09:17.880 --> 01:09:20.439
All right, it's rude to point, all all right, so I am

1019
01:09:20.520 --> 01:09:30.880
point and it's also rude. It's
also rude to interrupt. Okay, Here,

1020
01:09:30.880 --> 01:09:32.600
it's eleven thirty one on a Monday
morning, Donnie and Doli in check

four Grammys. More on that in a

1029

her thirteenth Grammy for Album of the
Year with Midnights. While accepting that award,

1036
01:10:41.399 --> 01:10:45.560
Taylor announced her new album, The
Tortured Poet's Department. It will arrive

1037
01:10:46.119 --> 01:10:51.199
April nineteenth. Now. Taylor accepted
her award from Celine Dion, who made

1038
01:10:51.239 --> 01:10:57.920
a surprise appearance as she battles stiff
person syndrome and a lot of people upset

1039
01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:02.199
that Taylor just kind of ignored I
agree, I was on watch on stage.

1040
01:11:02.479 --> 01:11:08.039
No recognition doesn't hug her just grab
how about you know, thank you

1041
01:11:08.199 --> 01:11:11.399
crosses her aside. Yeah, that's
a Canadian icon there, what are you

1042
01:11:11.520 --> 01:11:15.039
doing? Yeah? But later on
there were pictures of the two of them

1043
01:11:15.279 --> 01:11:17.039
hugging, and I don't know if
somebody said to Taylor, might be a

1044
01:11:17.039 --> 01:11:20.800
good damage control. This is damaged
control, you know that. But you

1045
01:11:20.880 --> 01:11:24.399
know what, like I guess that
would have been the right thing to do.

1046
01:11:24.520 --> 01:11:28.119
But in the moment, you got
people clapping, and there's you know,

1047
01:11:28.199 --> 01:11:30.640
there's a lot of things going on, and you know, she just

1048
01:11:30.039 --> 01:11:33.520
she didn't hug her and made a
immense later and say thank you. You

1049
01:11:33.640 --> 01:11:36.960
know, I thought it was it
would have been the right thing to do.

1050
01:11:38.079 --> 01:11:40.399
She made She made a mistake.
I saw a lot of people commenting

1051
01:11:40.479 --> 01:11:43.800
last night that the whole oh,
I can't believe I one thing is a

1052
01:11:43.880 --> 01:11:45.479
bit over the top. Like,
Taylor, stop it. You're one of

1053
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:49.039
the biggest artists in the world.
I know you're excited and everything. Don't

1054
01:11:49.079 --> 01:11:53.239
act so shocked like, oh,
I'm I'm a nobody. How did I

1055
01:11:53.319 --> 01:11:56.520
win this? Come on? Come
on? Would you rather her go up

1056
01:11:56.520 --> 01:12:00.560
there and say, hey, I
deserve this. Hey? Somewhere in the

1057
01:12:00.560 --> 01:12:03.399
middle of something like humility this was
it was the ability is something we don't

1058
01:12:03.399 --> 01:12:06.680
see. It was forced. You
might want to try forced. And you're

1059
01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:13.119
ignoring Celine Dion just completely not even
looking like I said, she made a

1060
01:12:13.199 --> 01:12:16.319
mistake and she tried to make amends
for later on. Everybody's so anti Taylor

1061
01:12:16.359 --> 01:12:20.680
Swift. You've become a swifty You
watch the errors to her A complete one

1062
01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:25.359
eighty No that I test me.
I didn't love that. I didn't love

1063
01:12:25.399 --> 01:12:29.039
it. I just everybody ripping into
her. She's a super talent and what

1064
01:12:29.319 --> 01:12:31.640
are you a part of her?
Pr like this is everybody like like the

1065
01:12:31.760 --> 01:12:34.840
what's the NFL supposed to do?
Okay, that's a different set. I'm

1066
01:12:34.880 --> 01:12:39.279
going into an onto another subject.
Here. She gets criticized a lot because

1067
01:12:39.520 --> 01:12:44.000
they show NFL or NFL gets criticized
a lot for showing her during Casey Chiefs

1068
01:12:44.079 --> 01:12:46.880
games, the biggest star in the
world promoting your product. Of course they're

1069
01:12:46.880 --> 01:12:50.239
going to try different. You're there
to watch football, done not to look

1070
01:12:50.279 --> 01:12:54.319
at her in the press spot.
You had the clip yesterday of the I

1071
01:12:54.359 --> 01:12:58.680
don't know what network it was,
what what Twitter account it was. They

1072
01:12:59.159 --> 01:13:01.680
measured the amount of she's on the
Old Times thirty seconds. Yeah, you

1073
01:13:01.760 --> 01:13:05.199
know total. Yeah, come on, you're rooting for Travis and Taylor.

1074
01:13:05.439 --> 01:13:09.880
You think there's two kids, you
think they helped they make it so,

1075
01:13:10.159 --> 01:13:14.000
like Celindy on as we move on
here. Eighty year old Joni Mitchell is

1076
01:13:14.079 --> 01:13:18.760
Canadian. She wanted tenth Grammy Best
Folk Album for Joni Mitchell at Newport.

01:13:26.119 --> 01:13:30.039
Checkaucy'd call it a first time and
it was amazing. It was just very

1079
01:13:30.199 --> 01:13:34.439
very well done. Congrats to Joni
Mitchell is eighty years old. She sounded

1080
01:13:34.600 --> 01:13:38.359
she sounded great. It was really
moving, it was and you'd never heard

1081
01:13:38.359 --> 01:13:40.479
of that song. What do you
want to tell the other thing that you

1082
01:13:40.560 --> 01:13:45.119
admitted before the show about your school
days. Yeah, we sang it in

1083
01:13:45.199 --> 01:13:48.000
school. But I don't understand this, Like of all the songs this,

1084
01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:50.760
why was this the song you would
sing? It was big? That's why

1085
01:13:51.000 --> 01:13:55.239
I don't know. It's yeah,
I guess so it's like a positive kind

1086
01:13:55.279 --> 01:14:00.359
of solid Yeah, but talk to
my my you know, grade one teacher.

It was a good song Fast Card.

1095

1144
01:18:59.239 --> 01:19:02.640
all right, just me? Why
don't the Canucks use the Pacific Haliseum

1145
01:19:02.680 --> 01:19:05.600
as a practice rank Ron Smith?
You know we get in a lot of

1146
01:19:05.640 --> 01:19:12.479
that. Why not the coliseum?
And I can't. I can't sit here

1147
01:19:12.520 --> 01:19:15.119
and tell you why. But I
when you say new practice facility, do

1148
01:19:15.159 --> 01:19:17.680
you want all the new bells and
whistles, Donnie, you don't want to

1149
01:19:17.720 --> 01:19:21.720
walk into a barn that's been there
since nineteen seventy. I mean they'd refurbish

1150
01:19:21.800 --> 01:19:26.359
it. Yeah, I how much
money can you put into it? These

1151
01:19:26.479 --> 01:19:30.319
new practice facilities like the one you
saw in Boston today with Kusmiko, they're

1152
01:19:30.359 --> 01:19:32.479
beautiful. I mean you walk in
and then the players got pride and they're

1153
01:19:32.479 --> 01:19:35.600
saying it's spending. I mean they
why not just build a new one instead

1154
01:19:35.600 --> 01:19:39.279
of going to some refurbishing old one. I thought he was going to go

1155
01:19:39.319 --> 01:19:43.880
a step further or a step backwards
and say why not use their original home

1156
01:19:44.920 --> 01:19:47.560
the P and E form. Oh
the people played my minor hockey. That's

1157
01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:50.920
right, that's right. But that's
even an older rank. Probably not gonna

1158
01:19:50.920 --> 01:19:54.800
happens. It's not gonna happen.
They want a new one. But food

1159
01:19:54.840 --> 01:19:58.079
for thought. They like you say, it's it's something that's been brought up

1160
01:19:58.079 --> 01:20:00.439
before on the show. Go again, behind him, Okay, look at

1161
01:20:00.479 --> 01:20:06.720
this. Uh. Watching the Grammys, Billy Eilish's breathing reminds me of Rick

1162
01:20:06.960 --> 01:20:14.279
Paul from Surrey, who's Billy breathing
heavily? Or was she breathing heavily.

1163
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:17.039
Well, no, she's kind of
a she's kind of a you have a

1164
01:20:17.079 --> 01:20:21.039
breathing issue, A breathy singer.
Okay, you know, like she's so

1165
01:20:21.159 --> 01:20:25.600
good. Yeah, So she performed
that song last night. Who was I

1166
01:20:25.640 --> 01:20:27.560
made for? What was I made
for? Whatever? The barbie is a

1167
01:20:27.600 --> 01:20:30.000
barbie. She performed it. It's
a breathy song. And you know what,

1168
01:20:30.159 --> 01:20:33.640
I watched it and it didn't cost
me four hundred dollars, so I

1169
01:20:33.840 --> 01:20:38.640
was happy. That's an old story. We'll rehash it one of these days

1170
01:20:39.239 --> 01:20:43.039
on signed. Is it just me? But the is it not just me?

1171
01:20:43.159 --> 01:20:46.000
But the only reason to tune in
Saturday to Saturday and hockey hockey in

1172
01:20:46.079 --> 01:20:49.760
Canada was because of Don Cherry back
in the day. Is that like a

1173
01:20:49.840 --> 01:20:55.000
shot at Don Cherry? I guess
I should have preread that, uh wreck,

1174
01:20:55.079 --> 01:20:57.560
but he got all right? Do
you guys need to lock big Rye

1175
01:20:57.560 --> 01:21:00.960
in a room and uh make him
watch every tape of Don Cherry's rock and

1176
01:21:00.079 --> 01:21:05.439
soccer hockey shoeshwap Scott. Remember how
popular that was that you had to watch

1177
01:21:05.560 --> 01:21:11.479
Don Chair the videotapes and Donnie Christmas
time, especially for kids in minor hockey.

1178
01:21:11.640 --> 01:21:14.680
That's what we did as parents would
buy that and the kids would watch

1179
01:21:14.680 --> 01:21:18.640
it. It was unbelievable. JJ
from Fiji Is it just me or should

1180
01:21:18.680 --> 01:21:24.920
Carl Weathers be in a BC Lions
pop culture Ring of honor along with Pam

1181
01:21:25.000 --> 01:21:29.920
Anderson, Bjet Neilsen, Tito Santana
and a few others and for people who

1182
01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:31.960
aren't aware of it, And it
was all over Twitter, all over the

1183
01:21:32.279 --> 01:21:38.640
traditional media over the weekend. Carl
Weathers left us late last week at the

1184
01:21:38.680 --> 01:21:43.119
age of seventy six. We all
remember him as Apollo Creed and our roles

1185
01:21:43.119 --> 01:21:47.359
in Happy Gilmore and a whole bunch
of TV shows and films. Spent two

1186
01:21:47.479 --> 01:21:53.119
or three years in the seventies with
the Lions. He wearing number fifty five

1187
01:21:53.199 --> 01:21:56.880
and got less. Carl Weathers.
Yeah, he was number fifty five for

1188
01:21:56.960 --> 01:21:59.760
the BC lines. Not a lot
of people knew that, don All right

1189
01:21:59.800 --> 01:22:01.399
here, Buddy the dog from Suri
says, as much as I should be

1190
01:22:01.439 --> 01:22:05.119
excited about the World Cup and Bank
River, I am not because regular folk

1191
01:22:05.279 --> 01:22:10.960
can't go. Tickets will be in
the thousands of dollars. Yeah, yeah,

1192
01:22:11.359 --> 01:22:14.880
just start saving now. Yeah,
it's going to be expressed any idea

1193
01:22:15.000 --> 01:22:16.920
ryan to the tickets. What the
price range would be, I don't know.

1194
01:22:16.960 --> 01:22:19.560
I just know there's gonna be a
lottery system and then you go in.

1195
01:22:20.439 --> 01:22:23.760
But I wouldn't assume that, right
Like, I mean, you're thinking

1196
01:22:23.840 --> 01:22:26.479
about what it's going to be for
resale value and stuff. I don't know

1197
01:22:26.560 --> 01:22:30.319
what the starting prices are going to
be if you get through the general lottery

1198
01:22:30.479 --> 01:22:33.600
in to buy tickets like normal people, they might be, you know,

1199
01:22:33.760 --> 01:22:36.479
start at two hundred bucks or something, which I know is still a lot

1200
01:22:36.520 --> 01:22:40.159
of money for a lot of So
many people deal with the secondary margaret.

1201
01:22:40.239 --> 01:22:44.199
But that's the thing. Wherever they're
playing against you have to you have to

1202
01:22:44.439 --> 01:22:46.960
compete with that the fans of that
country, the people from that country.

1203
01:22:47.239 --> 01:22:49.640
Of the Hong Kong game. Again, I'll tell you the price is there

1204
01:22:50.119 --> 01:22:54.439
between one hundred and thirteen and six
hundred and twenty four for friendly and the

1205
01:22:54.560 --> 01:22:59.439
cheapest here for MESSI I believe was
ninety five that caps That would have been

1206
01:22:59.439 --> 01:23:03.000
a high, right Yeah? Is
it just me from Adam the former bath

1207
01:23:03.119 --> 01:23:08.720
guy? But the NHL should adopt
a street hockey style for choosing teams have

1208
01:23:08.840 --> 01:23:12.720
a winning fan from the host city, throw players stick to either side of

1209
01:23:12.760 --> 01:23:15.039
the ice. Remember that you play
and it's not just street hockey. Oh

1210
01:23:15.359 --> 01:23:21.000
you're playing out outdoor hockey, or
even just pick at center ice and somebody

1211
01:23:21.239 --> 01:23:26.199
comes up throws one stick one way, one stick the other. They're your

1212
01:23:26.279 --> 01:23:30.640
teams. That would be very old
school. That would be very old school.

1213
01:23:30.000 --> 01:23:33.680
Absolutely I missed those days. Okay, Barnes and Noble still in Bellingham.

1214
01:23:34.119 --> 01:23:38.560
Trevor in Ladner says, Ryan,
what are you talking about? Uh,

1215
01:23:39.720 --> 01:23:42.439
you can pick up some new books, next, get some Gallas and

1216
01:23:42.520 --> 01:23:46.279
tillamuck cheese. He sent the photo
of Barnes and Noble, and I think

1217
01:23:46.319 --> 01:23:51.399
that's Bell's fair. I like to
shop at Bellingham anywhere in Canada. Doesn't

1218
01:23:51.439 --> 01:23:57.079
know, but burn Barnes and Noble
or Barnes and Noble in Bellingham. I

1219
01:23:57.119 --> 01:23:59.560
didn't know. I had no idea. I thought they were all defunct because

1220
01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:02.000
there's one. There used to be
one in Linnwood at Alderwood Mall, and

1221
01:24:02.119 --> 01:24:05.199
that's gone. That's sad that you
know that it's still that. Derek says,

1222
01:24:05.239 --> 01:24:08.720
that's still there too. Never mind, it's just sad, you know,

1223
01:24:08.880 --> 01:24:11.920
am I thinking of borders. There
was a borders. I think nobody.

1224
01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:14.840
Okay, what good? I'm good
about bookstores mixed? Do you know

1225
01:24:14.920 --> 01:24:17.560
any bookstores in Canada? You know
Amazon was a bookstore, Yes I do.

1226
01:24:17.880 --> 01:24:21.319
That's how it started. Yeah,
yeah, and then Bezels got the

1227
01:24:21.399 --> 01:24:25.520
idea of, hey, what about
every product out there? Exactly literally as

1228
01:24:25.560 --> 01:24:28.479
I talk about somebody down in Seattle, what do you got? Rick?

1229
01:24:28.760 --> 01:24:31.000
All right? Does it just me
stop talking about Taylor Swift? Back to

1230
01:24:31.039 --> 01:24:38.159
sports? Please? Well she's well, she's very involved in sports right now

1231
01:24:38.399 --> 01:24:41.760
in a lot of ways. Uh, Telly in North Vancouver? Is it

1232
01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:45.239
just me? Or was Boublay the
star of All Star Weekend in Toronto?

1233
01:24:45.439 --> 01:24:49.239
His excitement brought an energy we haven't
seen at an All Star game in years.

1234
01:24:49.359 --> 01:24:53.520
And it wasn't just Boublay. It
was the other celebrities that were there,

1235
01:24:53.560 --> 01:24:57.640
the Canadians Alibis that were there.
It was it was a good call.

1236
01:24:58.079 --> 01:25:00.880
Yeah, Debra was great. Jacket
blew me away, loved it.

1237
01:25:02.119 --> 01:25:05.680
You were on Saturday. Yeah,
it looked like a big mushroom. That's

1238
01:25:05.720 --> 01:25:10.479
what people said on Twitter. The
red with the white dots, the mushroom.

1239
01:25:10.680 --> 01:25:13.560
That's the dots. That's what people
were saying. Speaking of mushroom,

1240
01:25:15.239 --> 01:25:20.359
go stop. That's an inside joke. Kutcharov's performance during the skills cop was

1241
01:25:20.439 --> 01:25:25.239
a legendary. He's the perfect villain
in the Hockey World camp for Victoria.

1242
01:25:25.479 --> 01:25:30.279
You can't have everybody acting like he
did. But the combination of him clearly

1243
01:25:30.439 --> 01:25:33.159
not really being into it and having
played for Tampa Bay and arch rival of

1244
01:25:33.239 --> 01:25:36.960
the or playing for Tampa Bay of
the Leafs. But he was booed.

1245
01:25:38.159 --> 01:25:41.520
He was telling you he didn't want
to be there, and that's that's okay.

1246
01:25:41.760 --> 01:25:45.000
That's bad. That's bad. He's
remember one in the NHL and scoring

1247
01:25:45.159 --> 01:25:49.119
and he doesn't want to be there. You can't have everybody act like that,

1248
01:25:49.359 --> 01:25:53.199
But it's okay to have a villain. I think a villain. Oh

1249
01:25:53.239 --> 01:25:54.880
no, no, I agree with
the task, I get it, but

1250
01:25:54.960 --> 01:25:57.800
boy, that's not a good look
for the NHL what he did. Uh?

1251
01:25:57.920 --> 01:26:00.359
Is it just me? But because
make a Wave is no train class,

1252
01:26:00.399 --> 01:26:03.239
specifically because Calgary has no practice facility
and he can return to Bali.

1253
01:26:04.119 --> 01:26:08.239
I don't think he's going back there
matnow and Chilliwack, eh, I don't

1254
01:26:08.239 --> 01:26:12.000
think he's going back to Bali.
This is in Vancouver's in Calgary. If

1255
01:26:12.039 --> 01:26:14.079
he wants to go to BELLI can
go to Belly. Well, I no,

1256
01:26:14.199 --> 01:26:16.680
no, it wasn't exactly good luck
for him to go there. I'last

1257
01:26:16.720 --> 01:26:20.319
Millstein if he's going back? Yeah? I who you will? Okay,

1258
01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:24.000
I'll break. We'll wrap up the
show in the poll. Question next,

1259
01:26:24.039 --> 01:26:31.399
Donnie Dolly the team on check bet
ninety nine dot net pole question. Every

1260
01:26:31.479 --> 01:26:35.000
game begins at bet ninety nine dot
net Rick. All right, here we

1261
01:26:35.039 --> 01:26:38.680
go our bet ninety nine dot net
pole question, Ryan, get her up?

1262
01:26:38.800 --> 01:26:42.159
Get her up? What other move
should the Canucks make before the trade

1263
01:26:42.199 --> 01:26:46.800
deadline? Sixty three percent say added
defenseman over at a forward and don't make

1264
01:26:46.840 --> 01:26:50.680
a move at all. Seventeen hundred
votes. It's happened. It's bopin.

1265
01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:57.760
Thanks to Thomas Trantz. We found
out today that Elias Linnholm will be playing

1266
01:26:57.920 --> 01:27:02.520
on the right side, Pederson in
the middle, mckayev on the left side,

1267
01:27:02.560 --> 01:27:05.520
and I guess what you call the
Canucks second line at this point?

1268
01:27:05.720 --> 01:27:10.760
Also on Powerplay one, you've got
some business, all right, let's talk

1269
01:27:10.800 --> 01:27:15.319
about the Bayside ocean front resort.
Looking for a winter getaway. The baside

1270
01:27:15.399 --> 01:27:18.640
is the perfect spot when you stay
a minimum two nights weekends included between now

1271
01:27:18.760 --> 01:27:23.279
and February twenty ninth. Do you

1272
01:27:23.319 --> 01:27:27.239
best rate. Must call and book
directly through the hotel called two five zero

1273
01:27:27.319 --> 01:27:31.680
two four eight eight triple three to
book today. Okay, you have some

1274
01:27:31.800 --> 01:27:35.520
photos? Oh right, Ryan,
where are we going here? We're going

1275
01:27:35.520 --> 01:27:40.840
to a couple of blocks over oh
block Vancouver right here, Sam and Richmond

1276
01:27:42.359 --> 01:27:45.760
look at that? Oh right?
He said he was driving by BC Place

1277
01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:48.239
and he noticed the two of you
guys. And so for those of you

1278
01:27:48.359 --> 01:27:53.720
on the podcast, the massive billboard
next to BC Place is one of the

1279
01:27:53.800 --> 01:27:59.359
billboards around town that has a new
Donnie and Dolly ad and it's you two

1280
01:27:59.439 --> 01:28:01.760
guys through a phone. Is this
supposed to be somebody holding their phone?

1281
01:28:01.760 --> 01:28:04.800
And then it's you guys on the
phone. That's right next to the Canucks

1282
01:28:04.920 --> 01:28:08.960
offices. Here. Rutherford looks at
it, and I got evidence that the

1283
01:28:09.000 --> 01:28:13.159
Canucks look at us every single day
of the week. Like of all the

1284
01:28:13.960 --> 01:28:16.920
Jimmy has Jimmy has told me outside
his office, he looks out and he

1285
01:28:17.000 --> 01:28:21.960
sees these two. No wonder they're
at first Place. Overall motivation, we

1286
01:28:23.119 --> 01:28:26.399
are playing a role in the Canucks
success. That's outside the Canucks building by

1287
01:28:26.399 --> 01:28:30.279
the way. Anyways, worry,
but I worry these days about the way

1288
01:28:30.319 --> 01:28:34.199
broadcasting companies are spending money. Yeah
right, yeah, well is that money

1289
01:28:34.239 --> 01:28:38.920
well spent? I hope will tell
we got one more photo. It's actually

1290
01:28:38.960 --> 01:28:41.159
four photos in one. I don't
have the details. Rickey, you got

1291
01:28:41.239 --> 01:28:44.359
I got it right in you.
Look at this beautiful day yesterday for a

Yesterday Saturday wasn't bad either, But

but little cold it was. It
was cool, mister, exactly exactly and

1299
01:29:18.279 --> 01:29:26.199
White Rocky was a little extra cold
yesterday. No, I'm sorry what it's

1300
01:29:26.680 --> 01:29:30.880
usually the warmest place that Yeah,
I'm telling you. I had the two
