Our director of the Voice of God is Derek wal How are you.
How's your weekend? Oh it's good. It was sunny yesterday, Donnie,
you can't beat that. I felt a little bit cold, but I felt
spring. You know. On Friday you said spring us in the air.
Spring is in the air. A little bit cold, but the spring is
in the air. I did some yardwork. I had a dream on the
weekend that I was going to get the pressure washer out soon. So we
had a dream you were going to get the pressure wash I did. I
have weird dreams, but that's a big thing for me. Let's just stop
right there. We don't want to hear anything more about your dream thing about
pressure washing. I love pressure washing. Let's talk some hockey. This just
in moments ago, our friend julian McKenzie from the Athletic in Calgary, he
covers the Flames. Yeah, he's with them on their post All Star road
trip. They're in Boston and check out who hit the ice today for the
first time as a member of the Flames. Oh, Donnylokoho is andre because
making boy. Does he look weird in red? I mean he's only been
in the NHL a short time. We just know him in blue. But
there's Andrey because more the Flying skate the Flying skate Black. But they're in
Boston at the Bruins practice facility and there he is folks Andrei Kuzmenko, the
newest member of the Flames. They play the Bruins on a Tuesday, and
Julianne has also He hasn't tweeted out any lines. But he has tweeted out
who's on power play one, Sharon Govic, Kadri hober Dell, Hannah finand
Kuzmko, cus manco and Donnie. He had to wave his no trade clause
to go to Calgary. So when he talked to the GM and the coach,
what do you think they told them, come on down, we're gonna
put you on the power play. What a hockey people tell the people they're
recruiting all the time. They tell them everything they want to hear. You're
gonna get tons of ice, You're gonna be on the power play. You're
gonna be killing penalties, You're gonna be one of our league. Pressure Washington,
You're gonna be pressure washing our new practice facility. Donnie. They told
him he's gonna be on the power play. He's on the power play.
There you go, will wear number ninety six in Calgary as you'd expect.
Please see that those images once again, that video once again, Ryan,
because here's what sticks out for me when I'm looking at this video not only
on because Maco, but check out the Bruins practice facility. Yeah. Absolutely,
So what are you saying? Are you trying to well intent. Well,
it's interesting that it's the Flames on the ice in Boston. The Flames
and the Cannocks are the only two teams in the NHL without their own practice
facility. Flames, of course have a new building being built. I don't
even know what stage they're at right now, if there's been a shovel in
the ground, but they do have the plans for a new practice facility or
for their for a practice new reality the whole nine period and the Connocks are
stuck in the mud. Where are we with that out Bradiam Mountain Jim Rutherford
said in a press conference. Didn't he say that they might take an existing
rink and turn it into and you know, renovated, Yeah, like they
did with eight rinks back in the day, back in the nineties. Look,
Donnie, they all complained about the same thing, the price of land
in Vancouver. David Bradley for years tried to get a practice facility Dawn for
the BC. They have one in Surrey that that they wanted to tear it
down and they wanted a new one and he was looking for land. It
was too expensive and the getting mad at me. No, but they did,
look Bradley looked and he said, the price of land in Vancouver.
Now you're hearing the same thing from Rutherford. Oh, the price of land
in Vancouver's too much. They don't want to spend to get the land to
build. They have a land baron who's their owner, that's right? And
he's building. Isn't he building a ski resort? And squamish? I mean,
come on, get it done? Really they ever heard that Gallardian them?
Is that right? Am? I correct? Ryan Henderson? I think
I've heard something not with it's been. It's public, They've been, They've
written stories on it. I'm right on top of that story. But no,
it's it's I find it kind of strange that they would the guy.
They wouldn't partner up with an existing community, and it's arena Like, there's
some beautiful arenas out there, Coquitlam Park, Coquitlam Hillcrest, but Burnaby's building
new arenas. But you want it close to where they played their home games?
I mean, but it wasn't the case with a eight rinxel. Did
you want the guys? Do you want the guys to play in downtown Vancouver
and practice in Surrey or Ladner or Twason. They wouldn't be the only team
like that. Too far, too far, Donny, too far. Okay,
Well, there was talk about Burnaby mount sf you yea, it is
a mountain. Okay, it is a mountain. Might be hard to get
up to and especially in the snow in January. So Andre Kuzmenko, I
think every Canuck fan wishing him the best of luck. I think so too,
Calgary. He didn't do anything wrong to the fans. He just you
know, wouldn't play the way the Rick talking wanted him play, and it
just didn't work. It had to happen. We knew our We know our
friends at pastime Sports who often partnered with Andre. Wish him the best of
luck. Okay. Meanwhile, we talked about the Flames playing the Bruins on
Tuesday. The Canucks got together post All Star break. Yesterday, they practiced
Sunday in Carolina. They resumed their schedule Tuesday in Carolina against the Hurricanes.
Yesterday practice about a fifty minute practice with Rick Talckett back from Toronto and the
All Star festivities in charge. Of course, all the Knuck All Stars,
like two dozen of them back with the Canucks in Carolina. And here are
the line combinations from yesterday's practice, and I'm going to toot our own horn
here if you don't mind. But Thursday, after the Lindholm trade, if
you look at the top six year, this is what we had, and
Miller is going to be on that. I guess you'll call it the first
line Miller between Suitor and Besser Petterson, between mckayev and Lindholm. Now,
Lindholm is right handed, so he's going to go to the right side.
Mckayev, lefty, who often plays the right side, moves to the left
side with the Pederson and people are expecting magic between Peterson and Lindholm. We'll
see in the middle there. Now, keep in mind that Lindholm was a
Selki finalist a couple of years ago playing center with the Calgary Flames with Gudro
and kachuk Okay. But in Carolina where he was also very effective, where
Jim Rutherford had him, he played on the wing. He played on the
wing, options galore for the Canucks. If you take a look at this,
they got two centermen playing in the top six on the wings, Patterson
and Lindham. You talked about, oh can they can they do some magic
together? They did play together five years ago at the World Hockey Championships for
Sweden, Donnie, So they played on a line with the guy in Colorado.
It escapes my he's hurt right now, Landscock Landiscock. Anyways, so
they played together five years ago at the World's you know, so it's not
a ton of time together, but they did have one tournament together. But
tons of options for the coach. Can you imagine, though, Donnie,
if they went Miller Patterson's combination really stuck with you. Can you imagine if
they went Miller Peterson Lindham up the middle with Blueger. They can't do that,
but they're not going to do it. But the sure they can't,
they can't. They could be one of the strongest teams up the middle of
the ice if they wanted to be. But I think it makes sense to
keep them in the top six on the wing. And Rick Talckett loves that
he has all those players that can't play center. Obviously Blueger and him honor
there and Dakota Joshua has played center as well, so all sorts of options
for them. Okay, so we mentioned Elias Linnholm, who will wear the
number twenty three, starting out his time with the Canucks on a five game
road trip, which begins again Tuesday in Carolina. Here is Elias yesterday post
practice talking about the fact he likes that he likes the fact that he's starting
out with his new team on a lengthy road trip. No, it's huge.
I mean, you know, every team is talking about it early on
in season to you know, it's nice to have a road trip and get
to know everyone and so on. And you know, for me now during
the season, it feels like this this group is really tight and have a
good connection, and so for me to just come in and get to know
everyone and maybe have a dinner or two with a couple of boys. And
obviously I was lucky enough to to be at the also game with a bunch
of the guys as well. So it's been been a good, good,
good start so far. You had to talk to a lot of media over
the weekend. How nice was it to finally get out there with the group.
Yeah, I mean it was good. Obviously happened a couple of days
ago, and and I got to go to Toronto and and do all that
stuff, And like I said, I met a bunch of the guys there
and and but it's been you know, a lot of media, like I
said, and and a lot of talk about and I've been excited to get
there and get to know everyone. And obviously it's uh, it's good to
get the first practice out away, and and now I feel, yeah,
I feel feel pretty good. Last lint home in Carolina yesterday, the practice
again today, and again the game tomorrow against the Hurricanes. Ryan, you
have some information, uh that just flowed in. I'm not sure who it's
from, regarding the Flames line combinations. Now you you said that Kuzmenko is
a healthy scratch. Yeah he is, no, just kidding, Julian mackenzie
again, they send him a chest clearly there, Ryan, top line,
Huberto, Sharon Govic, Andre Kuzmenko and Sharon Govic. Just so everybody knows
he's a Millstein client. Oh my gosh, that is kind of interesting.
I'm just isn't it more interesting that he's somebody that nobody has really talks much
about, Sharon Gobech and he's been one of their best players. They got
him for Tyler to fully and he's yeah, this year he has been thirty
nine games. He's been great. But of more importance. He's Millstein client.
So Rick's point though, and you bring this up all the time too,
about you know, we should really not read a ton into lines because
three seconds later they can change. But it is, I know, but
you know what they said. I know, but you know what they said,
You're gonna be on the top line, top power play by the mid
midway point of the first period. He could be healthy scratch. Well,
keep me in mine too, it I mean the fact that Hubert does on
the on the first line, and look what he's done in the last a
couple of seasons. Yeah, weaker roster. Yeah about that you might have
been Absolutely at the start of the season. Absolutely he was going to get
more of an opportunity. But this coach, remember this, this head coach
in Calgary bench tuberto remember was it the entire third period? Wasn't he a
healthy scratch? Yeah, So it's not like he's just gonna go there and
you know, play river hockey. You know, just you know, whatever
there's going to be, you know, you're gonna have to play at both
ends of the rink as well. They're death one. Huberto spent all that
time on the bench staring at a stick. Yeah, and almost the whole
third period. Yeah. Okay, back to the Canucks now. Uh,
let's hear from Rick Cockey now. And we had some of these types of
clips from the All Star festivities in Toronto. But again this is Rick yesterday.
Clip one here Derek rick Hackett on what he likes of Elias Lino.
I love twitter foot players. He's a can play all different positions, hybrid
center or wing. Obviously PK guy one of you know, really good PK
guy. I think he's over fifty five percent of his draws and he can
play power play. So I mean, we're just get a guy that can
do a lot of different things for us and gives us a lot of options
as coaches. I don't recall Rick Talckett saying and this is not a knock.
I guess it is. Andre Cuzmicco is a two hundred foot hockey players.
Oh boy, that's the whole problem. He wasn't. That's why it
ended up in a divorce. Did you watch much of the All Star weekend?
You know, so that's yes or no? You know no? Like
me, I think like most people, I never heard anybody go I watched
the whole thing I'm not watching that. I didn't watch anything. You know,
people cut and the thing that I tweeted this out on Saturday, the
thing that that caught my attention, And you know, I'm a uniform guy.
I thought that the Justin Bieber Drew House designed uniforms were excellent. I
think they're They're one of those one of those uniforms you would rip them and
you know them and you see Beabs here getting pictures taken with all the All
Stars. He took warm up with Team Matthews. When you look at the
outfits as a whole, I thought they were incredible. I'm shocked. You
like these why everybody wants to rip everything looks like they should be on a
cereal box. These these jerseys will go like ten years from now one of
the best of all time All Star put that in your pipe. The only
thing for the play by play announcer for Chris Cuthbert, the names on the
bottom, names on the bottom and lowercase. That must have been tough.
I don't think most play by play announcers don't look at the name bars.
They look at the numbers. Sure, but I think it helps no.
Because one of the teams had two number nines. Yeah, remember which one?
Now one of them there were two sixteens Matthews. So I know Derek's
bringing up the point like it was like he was Santa Claus something different.
Amount of people, nobod, the amount of people wanted your photo with the
beats, I don't know. He's just just in. He's one of the
biggest celebrities I know. But like I was a little surprised too. The
video just keeps going and going. Well, okay. The other thing too
is you know a lot of those players, whether they're fans of his or
not, they have younger relatives or kids. Yeah, the dads with Dad's
never been cooler. Yeah with beeps. Now, when you talk about the
numbers below, probably the name plate below the numbers, there was a I
don't know if this is the case anymore, but the Sacramento Kings used to
be the Kansas City Kings way back in the day, and they did that
something a little bit different, sacramented it. No, it was I believe
the Kansas City there, the Kansas City Omaha Kings. I believe they're there.
They had their name and name plates below the numbers. We're talking NBA
here, right, a lot of people care about that. You know what
I'm talking about. Okay, Now I want to mention also that a couple
of things. It's Don Cherry's ninetieth birthday. Yes, so we want it.
We want to talk. I know some people, you know, don't
want to hear anything more about Don Cherry, one of the greatest Canadians of
all time and that four pole Remember the CBC poll. I think he finished
seventh. I don't know where he topped top ten. Sure, I've got
a lot to say on that. So we're going to talk more about him
a little bit later. We also want to talk about speaking of All Star
Weekend, getting back to the NHL, getting back to the Canucks, thatcher
Demco turning down the hug offer from Jeremy Swayman loved it. There's a there's
a lot there. We'll get to that as well. DTMZ is it just
me coming up in the eleven o'clock hour, Kevin Woodley and this is it.
But this is what's going to happen on our show at some point,
folks, you can look forward to this. At some point we're going to

handed picture out of Ladner, recently signed with the LA Dodgers. Is a
Major League Baseball career. Man. It seems just like yesterday started back in
twenty thirteen with Seattle's played with the Yankees and with the Red Sox, and
at James, who's joined us before, joins us again now, James,
thanks for doing this, sir. How are you doing well? Are you
guys very well? What sold you other than the obvious the contract? What
sold you on the Los Angeles Dodgers? You know, just being back on
the West coast is great, a little closer to family. I've been on
the East coast for the last four years, so it's nice to be back
on the West coast. How's the health, James, health is good.
Body feels really good heading into the season, looking forward to getting back out
there. Can you put it to words what you played with the Mariners,
but you played with the Yankees, You've played with the Red Sox, now
the Dodgers. Can you put it into words what it's like playing for yet
another fabled Major League Baseball franchise. It's pretty cool, you know. Someone
was telling me their day that I played for three of the most historic franchises
in Major Baseball, and I hadn't really thought about it, but it's pretty
cool to get the opportunity to play for those teams. In twenty twenty one,
you had the Tommy John surgery. We on the outside here about that,
James, that that that operation, that injury, but just can you
tell us in detail? I mean, how how tough was that? And
you have to be out a long period of time and for you to come
back and still be going at it. Tell us a little bit about Tommy
John surgery and what it entails. So for me, they used my pol
maris in my left arm and then they you know, took that out,
took out my use yellow my elbow, and then wrap the pole maras around
my I guess the bones in there to turn that that turns into a tendon
or a ligament turns into a ligament, because it's tendon first, and then
the tendon turns into a ligament over time. So that's kind of what you're
waiting for. And then you start throwing, building the strength in that and
that ligament and stuff. So much armcare. I feel like I did as
much arm care and I've done my entire career as a fan of you know
whatever. It was fourteen months, you know, but it was. It
was just a lot of work and I had a lot of help with some
great people, and it took me a while, you know, I think
being older going through it, it took me. I think I recovered a
little slower than some young guys, but just really happy that I was able
to get back out there and pitch again. There is a kid in Canada
right now saying I want to be the next James Paxton. You're seeing more
and more Canadians drafted. You're seeing more more Canadians and major League Baseball.
How does that make you feel? So it's all about, you know,
showing these kids that it's possible and kind of laying the path. And I
feel like for me, a big thing is like showing guys that it's possible
to come back from injuries and stick around, you know, if you work
hard and keep your nose, keep your head down, keep on working,
find ways to get better as you're hurt. I feel like, that's kind
of been the path of my career, is just coming back injury after injury.
You know how big the Canucks are in Vancouver, I'm gonna guess the
Yankees are bigger in New York. For a kid growing up from the Lower
Mainland and then pitching for the Yankees the Yankee Stadium, how cool was that?
I mean, like, can you give us a little feeling how big
the Yankees are and to be there? How big was that for you?
It was big? You know. It took me getting used to the first
half of the season. It was a lot, you know, because they're
so tense about their Yankees, and it took me a little while to get
comfortable there. But I felt like I got comfortable and really enjoyed my experience
with the Yankees. You know, the fans are intense. I got boot
off the field a few times the first half of the season, but then
I started pitching better the second half of the season and they liked me a
little bit more after that. James, let's get back to that Tommy John
surgery. You mentioned ligaments and tendons there, and it's just before lunch for
a lot of people, it was it was tough to hear for I'm sure,
but when you heard what the procedure entailed, what went through your mind,
that must have been tough. Yeah, you know, it's scary to
go through something like that. It's so serious. I think the good thing
was is that so many guys have gone through that surgery now and come back
from it that you feel like your chances are pretty good to come back and
pitch again. So I never had a doubt that I would come back and
pitch. It was just I think the injuries following the Tommy John, you
know, because I had some issues kind of coming back from that with a
I think I had a trisep thing at one point my lap when I was
coming back, I was almost back in twenty twenty two, and then I
tore my lap, and then in spring training in twenty three I tore my
hamstring. So it was just sort of like, you know, one thing
after the next, and at that point it was wondering, like am I
ever going to be able to put it back together enough to get back out
there. I'm just so grateful that I was able to and was able to
pitch quite a bit last year. And there are stories out there James.
No names come to mind, but he seemed to recall that some pitchers feel
actually better after having gone through Tommy John surgery. What about you in terms
of your arm anyway? Yeah, my arm feels great. You know.
I feel like the fastball is really good. Last year, breaking stuff,
I feel like it's still coming. I've been told that, you know,
it takes a little while for the breaking stuff to come back. So I'm
hoping that this year. It's It's been feeling really good this offseason in front
of breaking breaking stuff, So I think that that stuff might play a little
bit better this year than I did last year. LA. So you're gonna
be teammates with Shoani? What what? What impresses you the most about him?
Man? Just the fact that they can do both, you know,
like I can't, I can't hit it all, you know, and he's,
uh, he's out there and he's one of the best at both,
if not the best. You know. It's incredibly impressive, and I'm excited
just to kind of see what his routine is and how he how he manages
his body under that kind of workload. Have you faced him, James?
Yeah, I have, I have. Yeah, what do you think of
me, and I have him faced him hitting. I'm glad I haven't had
to face him as that's all over now. No, there's no more pitchers
hitting. But yeah, I have faced him and I know that he has
a homer off for me for sure. Well, thanks for doing this,
James. You've always been so good to us, so we really appreciate it.
All the best with the LA Dodgers, We're looking forward to it.
I appreciate it. Thank you. You bet James Paxton with the Los Angeles
Dodgers one year, seven million dollars guaranteed, he could earn thirteen million dollars
with bonuses. You heard him run through the list of health issues he's had.
So he stays healthy. As a decent season, he stands to make
six million x dollars in bonuses. They've got him slotted. I think is
a fourth or fifth starter in that Dodgers rotation. North Delta Blue Jays folks,
and then the University of Kentucky and then drafted well first by the Blue
Jays and then the year after by the Mariners in the fourth round. So
just a great local kid making it big in the major leagues of baseball.
You love it. Yeah. Spent last year with the Red Sox, went
seven and five. During our ten forty days we would go down to what
was then Safego Field eventually Team Mowhile in Seattle on a regular basis. He
was with the Mariners during two stints and we do our broadcast from up in
the press box, so usually when we talked to players, they would be
down on the field, you know, with a remote microphone. James came
up a couple of times up into the press box to join us. Just
a great guy. All the best to James Packinson. Okay, poll question.
It has to do with the Canucks. We want to talk about the
Demko Swiman controversy as well. JT. Miller in there as well. We'll
do that next. Donnie Dolly the team on check. All right, let's
introduce our bet ninety nine dot net poll question. Download bet ninety nine's brand
new app on the Google Play and Apple app Store. Discover the ultimate betting
experience with the bet ninety nine app, or visit bet ninety nine dot net.
Every game Rick begins at bet ninety nine dot net. Oh boy,
is it ever a Bet ninety nine donet poll question? What other move should
the Canucks make before the trade deadline defenseman forward, don't make a move thirteen
hundred votes already, sixty three percent say added defenseman Dottie. They've added the
top six winger already, slash center and powerplay penalty killing guy. Twenty two
percent still one forward, and fifteen percent say no. All indications are from
the Canucks. Rutherford Alvin Tacket just reading between the lines that remember, the
trade deadline is not until early March. They're going to four weeks away.
I would say, Stan, pat for now and evaluate. I agree with
you and Rick ten. You might lose out on somebody you want. Rick
Talckett was quoted in Toronto on the weekend, is saying you don't want to
upset the apple cart with too many moves. Chemistry is huge. You have
come this far with this group of guys, right, and where they got
you, Donny top of the NHL standings, right, So you don't want
to add too many guys to this group. We'll see what happens. I
could see them atting a defenseman Don Carson. Seussy's had a ton of bad
luck with injuries. I'm sorry, that's just been bad luck. One more
right shot defenseman I think is on the menu too many. I know,
I know, but when he comes back, you'll be on the left side.
But I think that too many teams are in on Chris Tanner right now.
Don, I'm just hearing too much heat that drives the price up.
The price is going to go up, and the Flames are trying to get
a first for Tanna. That's just too much. I don't think that.
What about those the door off rumors, they're they're not there anymore. You
and they're not there if they're keeping the door off, they're seventeen three and
four, Don with the door off in the lineup, don't move them.
But there was talk that you started rather Thor shot it down. Milstein's it,
dont forget about it. It's done, it's over. Let's go to
another like you call it a controversial subject, like the Zidora rumors. This
video came out during All Star Weekend from Toronto, and Jeremy Swaman has this
tradition of hugging everybody can over there, he is hugging Jake Ottinger from the
Dallas Stars before they hit the ice, and then Thattri Demko or fellow American
walking down, he just ignores him completely. I love it. I love
it. He's focused, He's focused. It's called being focused on it.
Do you think he's focused or do you think there was more at play there?
They're one two Canucks number one of the National Hockey League right now,
Boston Boston number two, leading of course their respective conferences. Thattrick Demko is
a smart kid. You talk to him, Yeah, there's there's a high
intellect there. He knows his history. You know, Boston Vancouver playing on
Thursday, and what if? What if they met and meet in a Stanley
Cup final? And don't these guys are human, don't tell me they're not
thinking that this could happen. And then he's hugging a Bruins goaltender. That's
gonna look bad. And in what swiming thinking trying to hug Demko? Now
they're both America. Do they know each other at all? I don't think
there is there something. Careers line up perfectly, But is there something there
that we don't we don't know about, or is it all this Bruins uh
Canucks possible the rivalry or and possibly meeting in the Stanley Cup finals or maybe
Dempko didn't see him, didn't know what he wanted. It'd be hard to
believe he didn't know what he wanted because he always him and all Mark hug
after everything, every Bruins when the Bruins goalies hug each other like that.
But I I love it. It's a focused dep goo move up, move
out a way. I gotta get on the ice, move out of my
way. This is from Scott and the Delady's okay, tiring thing the inbox.
Don't pull a muscle with that stretch there. I think Scott is referring
to your summary of the swimming Demko thing. You go so if you're going
a little too deep. So if we see a visual like that, which
and everybody, every other goaltender he made a hug offer too, hugged him,
including including Otinger. Yeah, but they were white. He walks by,
walks by him and rejects him. He sees what he's doing, he
knows what he's up to. We're supposed to We're supposed to just ignore that
now. I think he's just focused. All due respect to our customer there.
And this is another one, Hey, Dempco doesn't need to pump swingman's
tires. Yeah, that good point, A very good point where in his
contract is to say he has to hug him nowhere. Imagine, get out
of my way. I gotta get on the ice. I love this.
Dem did the right thing. But if they provided an amazing clip, I
will say that it looks hilarious, no matter the reason it looks hilarious.
What I thought it was just the hugs were just for almost so he must
feel slighted here, right Yeah? Maybe yeah, a relationship gone sour and
they're playing Thursday, the Connection and Boss on Thursday. But if there's a
goaliefight fantastic, So we're supposed to ignore that too. Watch Homemark just he's
at home like a you know, it feels like he's being cheated on here.
But this is great. I mean, if they meet it and I'm
we're going way too far ahead of ourselves there. But if they were way
too far ahead, they're won two in the standings right now. Okay,
it's not like a I'm sorry, but it's not that much of a stretch.
No it is, I guess it is. It's a stretch, man.
It is a long way Togo. I get it, But can you
imagine they meet in the Stanley Cup final. That is going to get played
over and over again. It's great. Apparently Bruins fans on Twitter, we're
going nuts ripping. Yeah, they were sensitive. I think we're reading way
too I think everybody's reading way too much into it. What if what if
somebody's yelling his name, Denico's name or something, and so he's looking he's
kind of looking ahead. He's not really paying attention to it. I think
it might have been he was locked in. Yeah, but then again,
we're talking about All Star wheels, right, he's not. That speaks to
half for death. That speaks to the dedication of thatcher demco. No matter
the event, he's one hundred percent focused. Do we want to talk Don
Cherry now? Sure? Save it for later. Nineteen years. Congratulations to
former Western Hockey League Vancouver connect defenseman Don Cherry, turning ninety years old today.
Not in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Do you miss him on Hockey
Night Encounter? Sure? Do? I still think he'd be there if the
incident didn't happen. And you and I, well, you and I were
on the air at the time he got fired. I remember he was wrong
came down wround twelve thirty that day. I think it was a Tuesday.
But anyways, you and I were on the air at the old station that
got blown to smither Rings and we were talking about it. In the reaction,
What does Don do better than anyone else? He gets reaction, whether
it's positive or negative. You're going to react to what he says. But
I go back to Don Cherry in the seventies eighties when it all started.
I think it started with Dave Hodge. Did not Don you know better?
Well before Ron McLain Coaches Corner was with Dave Hodge. Well, actually Don
started out and he was there close to forty years at Hockey Night, and
Canna started out as an analyst. That's it. And then he was too
much on side with Boston and Toronto and they decided but he was great on
the air, so they decided to come up with the Coaches Corner. Originally
with Dave Hodge. Dave threw his pen and he was upset with CBC said
in came Ron McLean and the rest is the rest is history. I miss
him on the air, and I'm not sure you know. I mean,
he's nine years old all respect to people who are older, and certainly I'm
getting there, but I'm not sure how effective Don would be at this point.
But man, I miss him and for him. The way he was
treated at the end by Hockey Day Canada, Sportsnet, the way they let
him go. If you look back at his clip, I mean it,
obviously this had a lot to do with everything, not that that particular clip,
because you look at it and what he was doing when he used the
phrase you people he wanted. He wanted everybody in Canada, no matter where
you're from, no matter how long you've been in Canada, to wear a
poppy and remember the soldiers that gave their lives for our country. I don't
know, I don't know what's what's wrong with that, but they had it
out for him, and for them to let him go and not give him
a chance to say goodbye after all these years making lots of money for those
people Hockey in Canada and sports Net was awful. That was really really disrespectful,
and they just tossed him aside like an old rag. And that's that
that that wasn't right. So you can say what you want, call him
a big or whatever the case may be, but you loved him for forty
years and then he makes this supposed one mistake, although again I think it
was building and you just toss him aside really really bad. And back in
the day when hockey naighted Canada, game started at five, don't he I
five, the first period would end and you just waited, and back then
we couldn't. You just waited for coaches to see what he would say.
Because what he said had a huge impact. But he wouldn't have got fired
if this happened in the eighties. But now when you do something and you
got this scene called Twitter, and you got five hundred million people who now
the backlash, the backlash today is incredible for everybody not just done this happened
in the eighties, he wouldn't have lost his job. And then and then
you look at some of the people that criticized them, in particular this Jess
Allen on what's the show called The Social and she, you know, went
as far as so far as to criticize people who play hockey. Yeah,
people who are hot are involved in hockey families, and she singled them out.
She came across as a bigot, and she got to keep her job.
And it was it was just it was a really, really ridiculous I
missed the guy. I've met him a few times. He was a gentleman,
you know, commands an audience like like nobody else. And I think
every single thing that he did, pretty much every single thing he did,
and a lot of times it came out the wrong way because he loves Canada
so much and he was protective of Canadians and that was part of his stick.
But I really think he believed everything he said. They didn't treat him
all. Saturdays were a staple for everybody because of Don. I'm not so
sure they are anymore. I am, yeah, it's not the same.
Candeenk Counter is still very good, don't get me wrong, but Don Cherry
was extra special. I talked about that CBC poll earlier two thousand and four.
That's right, they pulled people across the country. Who's the greatest Canadian.
Tommy Douglas, the father of socialized medicine, ended up in first place
in that poll. Don Cherry ended up in his sabbath ahead of John A.
McDonald, the first Prime Minister, Alexander Graham Bell you know with the
phone phone, and Wayne Gretzky. So that's how popular he was at the
time. I'll tell you what I'll never forget. I know, we're running
out of time here, right, I'll never forget being in the Colisseum And
this happened in households across the country. But I'll never forget being at the
Colisseum and the old mos Bulson Lounge, and there are all sorts of NHL
heavyweights in that lounge at the time. Pack Quinn was there, and it
was during a Cannocks Hockey Night in Canada broadcast. And I'm down there getting
a refreshment, a meal or whatever the case may be. In between periods.
Don Cherry comes on and all those you know, the old hockey types,
the big names, everybody be quiet upposed the volume and they all listened
to Don Jerry. And there's very who else has been like that in Canada.
Well there's you, and that's about it. He also pissed off Cannucks
management over the years too. I mean, like I remember Brian Brick whin
happened. Everybody watched it because they knew what he said. Pissed off pa
Quinn when he went after to Burray back in early pa got mad at him.
Pack Quinn got mad at him as well. You're right, yeah,
yeah, and they're I think they considered themselves a France. But hey,
always a reaction with Don Cherry and that's not her base with a lot of
broadcasters, with a lot of people today, and again, I think the
root of it was his love for the country. Okay, we're gonna take
a break now and get ready for big ride the Twitter guy. But this
was one of Don Cherry's most famous rants. I'm not sure if the female
members of our audience will love it, but this is one of his all
time rants regarding pucks going into the crowd at hockey games. Don Cherry,
as we get ready for big Ride the Twitter guy, I gotta say something
now. This isn't funny when I'm going to say and you women are going
to get mad at me out there. But I was standing out in the
hall here in the first five minutes and it was a tip shot. A
guy tried to get it over the blue line, and a guy tipped it
and come up right over my head and hit this poor lady in the face.
I'm telling you, when you come to the games, keep your eyes
on the puck and I'm telling you I've seen some awful smacks and it's always
a woman yapping away there. Look at the game. Lots of fans.
What are you talking? Both job and talking about the game. Him.

Big Grayther Twitter guy, Big Rayther Twitter Guard presented by The Waddling Dog
Pub. February the twenty second. The Dog is hosting a fundraising night in
support of the Canucks Autism Network. The night's going to include a raffle for
Canucks tickets, sign Canucks jerseys, fifty to fifty, draw, silent auction,
and a meet and greet with Don Taylor's favorite Knuck of all time,
Kirk McClain. The event begins at six o'clock and it's also going to include
a watch party with Kirk for Canucks Cracking that night again, February the twenty
second. All proceeds donated to the Canucks Autism Network. It's just another reason
to come sit and stay at the Wadlink Dog Pub. So that's gonna be
a great event. Oh big story yesterday, guys, we haven't talked about
yet. We now know how many games Vancouver is going to get for the
twenty twenty six World Cup. How many games will he? What am I
stealing your thunder? Yeah? We were gonna save that for later. We're
gonna talk. You know what usually happens when we save things for later,
we don't get to them. So that's why I'm going to get to them
right now. Go ahead. You know how we have a pre show meeting.
Yeah, two hours attention. Yeah, Don Cherrywood. Yeah, sure,
Canada is going to get to host thirteen matches. This is from James
Dutty, who was on the Did you guys watch any of the broadcast yesterday?
It was bizarre Kevin Hart was involved, Kim Kardashian, Drake, James
Dutty, Well, why why are all these random people being involved in for
World Cup schedule announcement? What do you think? Well, I know that'sh
I get it. I get it. I get it anyway, and when
you talk about somebody outside the sporting world more eyeballs. Definitely. Yeah.
So Canada is going to hurst host thirteen games, seven in Vancouver and only
six in Toronto. Vancouver beats out Toronto for one of the first times ever.
Canada opens in Toronto on June the twelfth, twenty twenty sixth then flies
to Vancouver for their other two group games. Each city hosts five group stage
games and one round of thirty two games. Vancouver gets the loan Round of
sixteen match at the World Cup. So again another one up for Vancouver here.
Why do you say you sound you know why? I'm a surprised Vancouver
Toronto. I'll tell you why. I'm so surprised. Why are you doing
that? Don't forget Vancouver was almost out of this whole thing altogether. Yeah,
they were almost not even part of the World Cup. Well they were
technically they were, but then they come back in and they're hosting more games
in Toronto. We got one more game because look at the history of the
crowds and the supporting women and men's soccer. But the size of the STA
it's sad. But they got SkyDome still live. No, but demo they're
they're using bemo. SkyDome will be Blue Jays or it's in June. Yeah,
they'll still be alive. And well, because you don't remember FIFA needs
these facilities for it's not like, you know, three days, So I
don't know how they could potentially, like the J's would have to be on
like almost a month long world Yeah, probably if they do that. I
got some other tweets here to get to regarding this though, and the announcement.
So this is another one from Duffy that Canada wins its group, they
will stay in Vancouver for the Round of thirty two game and also that Round
of sixteen game. So there's a chance that five Canadian games could be played
in Canada, and four of which could be in Vancouver. Here are the
dates, by the way for the Canadian games. So they're in Toronto,
as I mentioned, Friday, June the twelfth, in Vancouver Thursday, June
the eighteenth, and in Vancouver on Wednesday, June the twenty fourth. So
that is what's happening with the World Cup here in Vancouver for twenty twenty six.
Seattle, by the way, they're getting six and they're getting one US
men's national team match as well down the I five. So that's a big
coolat that'll be a lumen that'll be at LUMI. Yeah yeah, I mean
again, but it's all off season, so I mean outside the Sounders,
but the MLS will be shut down a course, so it's a big day
yesterday. Help me out. I'm behind on this story, which is unusual.
Yeah, every facility will have grass for the twenty twenty six. Is
that gonna work? Well, I mean I know you do guarding on the
side. No, but like I'm assuming, and again I maybe shouldn't,
but it might be a situation. I mean, look at they roll grass
in and out well, but they also Arizona, right, they roll that
grass and that building is made for that particular situation. Yes, I think
Vegas the grass gets rolled up outside building outside, it grows there, they
roll it back in DC Place, isn't like that? What comes to mind
for me? Do you remember the exhibition game I believe white Caps against Manchester
City? Yes, and it was all that and it was awful player.
Yeah, I remember that when they laid down the grass on the artificial turf.
Yeah, it was bad. I'm gonna guess with FIFA being involved here
and time has passed since then, I think it's going to be top notch.
I think they'll have no problem. It'll just be interesting because I'm going
to assume, and again maybe I shouldn't, but I'm going to assume that
we're looking at that being in still probably post Lion season November twenty twenty five.
Yeah, they got to strike, so the white Caps will probably be
playing on it for a couple of months prior to the World Cup. I'm
gonna I'm again, I'm assuming that whole twenty twenty sixth period will have grass
in BC Place. I don't think they hold on a sect like what you're
talking about. November, they would have the grass in there after the Lions
season. After that well, because the white Caps started getting in February,
so sometime between that time, right, I don't think they're gonna do it
during the Cap season. Again, I could be wrong, but I would
just I would think that that that's the off period in BC place. I'm
not ed Hume that's an old dated reference there, but or I'm not art
nap how about that? Okay, I know that our nap. But putting
the grass in November, that's a long time until June. You know last
time I checked on a lot of sunshine. Yeah, maintain it in other
ways again, thank got ways to do this, as like Don Cherry.
Now, I'm just asked the question. I think what they should That opening
is not that large discs. Then you need sunlight for grass to thrive.
I think I think they should put the old Astro turf in that they had
in the nineties in there. Put that down and let them play on it.
Put the old Astra trip that they had an Empire. Yeah, like
some of those little shots, it was just green ball creek. How did
they play on that? How did the leagues allow these guys to play on
that surface? Like it's just shocking to me. Well, that wasn't the
only one. No, No, I was run of the mill. Staius
run of the mill. It I mean, he's the going thing. Yeah.
Speaking of a giant stadium, MetLife Stadium is the host of the final
for the World Cup, which is not a huge surprise. Apparently they beat
out Dallas in LA to host the final, but time zone Eastern time zone.
Yeah, I think there's a lot of the New York sources shock exactly
exactly. So that's happening for the twenty twenty six World Cup. It'll be
a lottery system to get tickets and that'll be all anounced down the road.
There's one thing I want to mention. We'll save it for our next open.
So is that okay with it? Absolutely? Absolutely? I want to
get to this clip. Now, hold on, because on the weekend,
uh, Doc Rivers and the Milwaukee were you actually that's a second story you
store. Doc Rivers and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Dallas Mavericks and because of
that, Doc Rivers is now heading to the NBA All Star Game. He
picked up. That was his first win by the way, as Bucks head
coach. The record's okay, he's Uh, he's one and two since being
hired by Milwaukee on January the twenty sixth. So again, this is kind
of like talking going. It's all winning record based right as to why these
coaches are going. So Milwaukee has the record, hence Doc Rivers. So
Doc was asked about a postgame and his response was very honest and pretty funny.
Too ridiculously bad, it really is. Well, he's gonna get some
money, that's for sure, and a ring. You know, it's one
of these quirky things. I think there should be a rule somehow that someone
else does it other than me. Maybe I'll send my staff and I'll go
on vacation. I'm gonna run that by Silver. I think he's a he's
you know, Adam's a good man. I think he'll understand. So maybe
that is what happens. He's talking about Adrian Griffin, who he replaced the
winning record. And I didn't know this. The coaches getting rings, they
get All Star rings for being the coach. I don't know what talking he
was talking about. It again, that's what I think, you know they
get, they get they get rings as an All Star. Yeah, I
know, awesome, Yeah I know. But a ring is tied to a
championship in my mind, Like, did talk it get anything? I don't
know. Maybe did he get a ring for being a coach at the All
Star Game. I don't know. I'm saying gold sticker or something, thank
you for attending. I don't know, but uh, Doc, Doc was
funny and I don't blame him for saying, you know, he might send
a stackish it it is. I mean, there's got and maybe this is
just the first time this situation has ever happened where it's so close to the
All Star Game and the team is where they are, They've never had to
deal with it before. But there's gotta be theyve could have done better,
and I think Doc would Yeah, and maybe they would pick the next guy.
The NBA might fix it, right, I mean Adam Silver in the
NBA might fix it before the All Star Game is happening on February eighteenth in
Indianapolis. So he didn't sound like you wanted to go well, because it's
embarrassing, like Donnie says, like, no, but he just wanted the
week off, like he wants the week off. Yeah, No, I
think it's he's more embarrassment. You're taking credit for another guy's hard work.
I mean, let's be honest here, right, Uh okay. Coming up
next, we have Kevin Woodley joining us from NHL dot com and in Gold
Magazine to talk about the Canucks who are on the ice. By the way,

thanks for doing this, sir. How are you? I'm good?
How are you? Guys? Very well? Very well? Before WHOA.
This still has to do with the Caducks, but this is regarding All Star
weekend of what was going on Thatcher Demco rejecting Jeremy Swayman's hug in Toronto.
What do you think I'm listening like not ever, everyone's a hugger, right,
I gotta be honest. I don't know. Maybe this was a bit.
Maybe as so many Knucks fans yeah, are hoping for, it was
a I'm not hugging a Bruin. Maybe he does truly, he's embraced the
whole hate the Bruins dating back to twenty eleven. Or maybe and listen,
I this is this is the fine line I walk and Rick knows this one.
Well, I'm not texting Thatcher demk to ask him about the hug.
And in some ways, that is why I think it probably happened. Like
I'll give you an example, Edding bol we did forty five minute video sit
down with Thatcher last year where he broke down plays for US Hockey, talk
like why he choose a certain save, certain depth selection, everything. He
was brilliant and so gracious with his time when it came to hockey, But
I just don't think he has a lot of time for anything that's performative,
for lack of a better term, And that may be like if I was
guessing and again no information, that would be what I'm guessing here. Like
this is just there are times when he's serious, and when he's serious,
he's not into this kind of thing. And we've sort of seen it on
the media side. Even me as gracious as he was with his time on
the video stuff, you know, he's not gonna sit down and break down
why he tapes his stick the way he does, even though there are other
guys, pro hockey players or pro goalies I know that take their stick the
same way. Because Thatcher does it that way, so I think just that's
my guess. It was somewhat performative, and that's not the kind of stuff
he has a lot of extra time for. And Rick talk it has gone
on record several times as saying the one thing that impresses the most about Thatcher
Dampco, other than his ability to stop pucks, is that he's all business.
Can we run that video again, Ryan, if you don't mind,
or Derek, if you could run that video again, you'll notice here Thatcher
Dampco. I will see him coming to screen in a second with the all
white pads, all white gloves. And I know you wanted to talk about
this, Kevin Canucks. Maybe this is and Clark aren't fans of their goalies
wearing dark gear? Pats explain well, well, so this is something I
got a lot of questions about because obviously the next day Thatcher came out with
the retro all black set with the yeah flying skate, and then a lot
of people are running like, hey, like why haven't we had that during
the season? That would look spectacular And the rule of thumb here is basically
it comes from in Clark. It's that you want white on the outer edges.
You can have color on the inside, but the outer edges of the
equipment needs to be white. And the idea is to create visual ambiguity in
the eyes of a shooter, right like in that split second, less than
a second, when a shooter looks up and sees what you're filling and what
you're not. Dark lines on the outer edge of your gear create a frame.
They create an immediate sort of this is where your coverage ends and the
net begins. And so the concept here, and we've seen it embraced by
all the goalies you know that have come through here, is that that split
second in a game of you know, half inches and half seconds, if
that matters, we're going to take advantage of it. Now. The other
question I got a lot online after this was why does Casey de Smith have
black pads? Why was he able to get away with it? And the
simple answer is he was told to order a set before the season to match
these jerseys, and he ordered it before he knew what the rules were,
and given how infrequently he's likely to play at home in those jerseys where they
wear them, the decision was made to just let him do it. Kevin
Dempko has started thirty five games that only three goalies have started. Somebody getting
a phone call here? Who's that? That's got to be you? Woodley,
No, I got some phone calls. I was wright, Kevin.
If you don't mind, we'd like to have this entire interview with music in
the background. I think it'll add something, so I'll tell you that that's
okay, we'll continue. Hey, I may not addressed up in the you
know, the Hawaiian shirt for Dolly today, but I'm still a pro.
I got this on do not disturb on this. I'll tell you that scared
the hell out of me. That was booming into my head set. I
was like, what the heck? Okay, let me try to rephrase where
I was at. DEMP goes up. Sorry, Kevin Live TV. You
can't beat it, Kevin Focus fifty nine starts. I'm telling my Shevin's okay.
DEMP goes up pace for fifty nine starts his career high sixty four.
How do you think they manage him down the stretch? Listen, Kevin's just
happy to have the full Rick Dolly Wall experience today. I ate like that's
sort of maybe a little above your idea window. I think we've seen this
come down over the years, you know, seventies into sixty five to sixty
and now I think I think in term brother fort even said it going in
the season, like the idea would be fifty five. I haven't looked at
how many back to backs they have left. I apologize, Rick, so
automatic three sets, Yeah, so obviously you're only knocking three off off what's
left. There's no way he's starting thirty. More So, listen, if
anything in between fifty five and fifty nine, like in that window, I
think is fine. I think ideally you want to get him down and the
focus becomes not so much on games play, it is how's the body feel?
And this is a conversation that goes on constantly between him and Ian Clark,
and I am imagining the medical staff as well. How's the body feel?
How's the mental because the reality is a lot of the fatigue is sort
of the grind mentally on these goalies these days, and you know, sort
of find that line between not playing him too much and making sure he's still
got a little bit of rhythm, a little bit of timing and feels good
about his game. You know, try and get him. Let's let's be
realistic. The first six weeks of the season were unbelievable, how good he
was. Trying to find him, get him an opportunity to get closer back
to the form he showed at the start of the season. Then, you
know, some of them more consistent but lesser highs over the last couple of
months. You know, Kevin, we're getting hints from management to keep an
eye on Absburg because there might need some Like there's ten free agents on this
Canucks roster. One of them a UF is Casey de Smith. If they
don't re sign him, do you think Archer c Lobs next year could be
the backup? Oh, Casey with his raw numbers, is playing himself into
a raise. And I don't know what the cap situation is gonna look xt
year. And you know, I know in the offseason too, like La
made a coaching change at the goalie coach position and brought in Mike Buckley,
who Jim Rutherford knows very well from his time in Pittsburgh. He hired him,
he extended him right before he left in Pittsburgh. And there's a relationship
there between Casey and Mike. I think they still work together in the offseason.
There's a team that could be looking for goaltending help and a Casey to
Smith might fit the bill there. So I think it might be hard to
bring Casey to Smith back. And so yeah, oh listen, when we
saw Sea Loves last year, I think what impressed me the most was how
quickly he adjusted to the NHL game, the adaptations he made in terms of
not overplaying things technically, he got better. It was a brief stint,
but he got better as it went on, and I think that's promising,
combined with the performance he had obviously at the World Championships, but just day
and day out at the American Hockey League. He's bought in completely to what
Ian Clark teaches, and I think that he's a guy that's at the very
least worthy of having a shot if you don't bring back Casey, and then
you just need to make sure you find somebody behind him. So that sort
of in case of emergency, break blast guy, whether it's Sea Loves needing
more time as the season goes on, not getting enough starts, or injury,
right, you always need three or four anyways, So I think he's
very capable of stepping into that role next season, especially if it's a cost
cutting move for the Canucks in terms of not being able to afforard what the
Smith brings or he's going to command and being able to get our churst here
at a lesser number. You're a pro, Kevin. You handle that musical
interruption way better than we did, so we appreciate this. We'll get you
back on the show soon that my poser, guys, thanks for having me.
You bet Kevin Woodley from NHL dot com and in Goal Magazine, what
happened? What happened there right out of nowhere, and it was elevator was
at our end. What happened? So we got a phone call at the
exact same time. But I don't think it was supposed to come through where
Kevin's Derek stink. No, no, no, no. I just didn't
think this was a possibility. And it's literally the only time this has happened
since we've been using zoom on the show. So somebody was calling us at
the same time, So Kevin didn't hear the ringtone, but you guys definitely
did. Oh. I thought I was in an elevator going up. I
was just it was elevator music. That was our that's our apparently that's our
ringtone when people call welld just in case people thought we weren't live. Yeah,
there's And you're saying for Woodley to stay focused, but you you were
the one that needed to read the headset. Will I'm in the again.
It's coming through again? Really? What Ryan? You got to fix this?
Who is it? Who is uh? Is it? Rutherford? Jimmy
says, Noble b Noble the bookstore Noble. That's a Noble, Barnes and

from you, Eric in a bit. We talked earlier about what's happening with
World Cup twenty twenty six. Canada is going to host thirteen matches, seven
of them at BC Place, the other six at Bimo Field in Toronto.
And we talked about this earlier, how you don't often see that situation where
Vancouver is going to get more events than Toronto. The universe has to do
with the size of the stadium. I wanted to mention this, and I
don't. I don't mean to be negative here. I'm just gonna state of
fact. But Messi the on. Messi and inter Miami are scheduled to come
to BC Place to take on the white Caps May twenty fifth. We're all
excited about that. Everybody bought tickets. You know where where we're at with
ticket sales, Ryan, they must be skyrocket. I think it's sold out.
I believe I remember fifty thousand last Yeah. I might not be officially
officially sold out, but it's pretty close. So this isn't an MLS game,
not a regular season game, clearly not a playoff game, but a
friendly in Hong Kong over the weekend anter Miami was scheduled or they played the
Hong Kong eleven and Messi and people shelled out for this, right. They
shelled out between one hundred and thirteen and six hundred and twenty four dollars.
He didn't show up. He didn't show up. Didn't show up? Now
that it Suarez so on inter Miami's roster as well. Louis swore pretty good
at him not to show up. All those fans expected him show up,
paid big money for him. Yeah, but do you worry about you hear
this story? Yeah, and it just seems like something. I hate to
say it, but I mean you might expect this sort of thing, and
then you've got all these people in Vancouver, you know, waiting for Messy.
I mean, he might get injured, so there's that, But to
not show up and that last time I checked on Twitter, there was nothing,
no real explanation. And if it was hurt, whatever the case may
be, what what? What a disappointment? Maybe maybe different though, because
an exhibition game friendly versus a regular season game. So I hope it all
works out. After the match, mess Miami coach explained Messi's absence was due
to injury. Oh, Messi had been quotes nursing in an inductor injury during
Miami's preseason tour. Why didn't the announce that before? That's a good question.
Uh So they won Miami won four to one. He was in attendance.
It's not like he wasn't in the building. Okay, there you know,
he was an unused sub and by the way, Hong Kong officials,
the government, the Hong Kong government issued a statement asking demanding an explanation.
Government. Yeah, well, you know what, at least he showed up.
Did he shake hands and kiss babies that I don't know autographs, But
he was in the building. He was in the building. Okay, then
I have no issues with then it was an injury. Well, no,
they should have said something beforehand. But at least he showed up. And
we remember member Terry, he's the famous one. He didn't even didn't didn't
show up, never got on the plane. And Beckham played here Beckham and
missed the first one I think in Vancouver. But but Tyryanrey didn't even show
show up. At least show up. Well, that's a lot of what
people are just coming to see your face in person. Well, but and
again we've talked about this before, like this, this is where you lose
me on the whole. Liono Messi is going to change soccer in America or
not. America doesn't link the turf. So if he's if and we have
no evidence yet by the way, we don't have evidence that he's not going
to play here. He might. He might nobody did. I'm throwing this
out as a fact. But if that does occur, then that's where you
lose me, because you know, again, if he hasn't hasty play here,
do you think having no scheduled Miami and said, hey, you know
what, we're gonna open it up when we expect sixty thousand, is your
guy coming? I mean, come on that conversation. Take him. But
Rick, this precedent, it's happened where people don't show up. Yeah,
well Pele played here at Empires Stadium and that hell yeah, Franz Beckenbauer was
here in Vancouver. Well see. And the thing that doesn't go it's not
in the favor of the Caps is Miami plays at home versus Heavy United,
then comes here, then goes home and plays Atlanta. Yeah, well so
that that's not great. But I will say this to Rick's point, I
think the MLS was involved here. I had heard that one of the reasons
why Vancouver got the game, kind of like the World Cup situation, is
stadium size. That's why they put the game here in Vancouver because of the
market size and the stadium size that the white Caps can offer up compared to
some other MLS clubs that might have smaller seal. Okay, he said,
he said, he's not has no problem with turf. He played on it
as a caball throwing each other. No problem with the turf. But yeah,
I agree, you got business. Absolutely look at this Pastime Sports celebrating
thirty years of being BC's number one car to member billion shop Thursday, February

You can show it now, Derek, look at this. My parents
were cleaning out some files. Look at this. For those it was you
that say Henderson's never played his part. He doesn't what he's talking about this
hockey. This is Ryan Henderson's ballhawky Surrey Minor ball Hockey aged fourteen, two
thousand. The Rangers, I believe, is the team. I was looking
exactly the same. I know, I know it's the hair, So it
does is. I did play a few seasons in the Surrey Minor Ball Hockey
League. I still need video proofs. I don't buy that you can make
cards up like that in two seconds from two thousand and five. Yeah,
come on, I need video preacher. No, no, hey, nothing
wrong with ball hockey. I was a star. I was good in ball
hockey. I had great hands. Nine No, I had great hands like
I got picked first all the time in every game. You were Tony,
I was twenty ten. You're playing by yourself, so we all picked teams.
I always went first over okay, uh. DTMZ is next, And
as we go to break, we say happy ninetieth ninetieth birthday ninetieth to Don
Cherry. Some more classic Don. As we go to break, DTMZ next,
has anybody ever seen Stevie Eiserman cheap shot it? Have you? I
haven't. I've never seen anybody spear him, knock him down, punch him
in the face. And I wonder into a post Dommy, don't be stupid
anyhow have you ever seen him chief shot it? You never will? You
know why? Because Bobby Provet's there, number twenty four. He will never
be chief shot it because he's got a policeman. And I guarantee you if
Pittsburgh had Bobby Provert, mary O would not have the injuries he's got.
All right, it's rude to point, all all right, so I am
point and it's also rude. It's also rude to interrupt. Okay, Here,

me yesterday, Oh, Big, Al's great guy. He was impressed with
Joni Mitchell's performance at the twenty twenty four Grammys. More on that in a
bit and thank you Ell for everything. The twenty twenty four Grammys indeed took
place Sunday at Crypto dot Com Arena, La California. Big four Awards went
to Billie Eilish for Song of the Year with What Was I Made For?
That was from Barbie, which I thought was a good movie, not a
great movie, a good movie, Victoria Money, Best New Artist, Miley
Cyrus for Record of the Year with Flowers, and Taylor Swift, who won
her thirteenth Grammy for Album of the Year with Midnights. While accepting that award,
Taylor announced her new album, The Tortured Poet's Department. It will arrive
April nineteenth. Now. Taylor accepted her award from Celine Dion, who made
a surprise appearance as she battles stiff person syndrome and a lot of people upset
that Taylor just kind of ignored I agree, I was on watch on stage.
No recognition doesn't hug her just grab how about you know, thank you
crosses her aside. Yeah, that's a Canadian icon there, what are you
doing? Yeah? But later on there were pictures of the two of them
hugging, and I don't know if somebody said to Taylor, might be a
good damage control. This is damaged control, you know that. But you
know what, like I guess that would have been the right thing to do.
But in the moment, you got people clapping, and there's you know,
there's a lot of things going on, and you know, she just
she didn't hug her and made a immense later and say thank you. You
know, I thought it was it would have been the right thing to do.
She made She made a mistake. I saw a lot of people commenting
last night that the whole oh, I can't believe I one thing is a
bit over the top. Like, Taylor, stop it. You're one of
the biggest artists in the world. I know you're excited and everything. Don't
act so shocked like, oh, I'm I'm a nobody. How did I
win this? Come on? Come on? Would you rather her go up
there and say, hey, I deserve this. Hey? Somewhere in the
middle of something like humility this was it was the ability is something we don't
see. It was forced. You might want to try forced. And you're
ignoring Celine Dion just completely not even looking like I said, she made a
mistake and she tried to make amends for later on. Everybody's so anti Taylor
Swift. You've become a swifty You watch the errors to her A complete one
eighty No that I test me. I didn't love that. I didn't love
it. I just everybody ripping into her. She's a super talent and what
are you a part of her? Pr like this is everybody like like the
what's the NFL supposed to do? Okay, that's a different set. I'm
going into an onto another subject. Here. She gets criticized a lot because
they show NFL or NFL gets criticized a lot for showing her during Casey Chiefs
games, the biggest star in the world promoting your product. Of course they're
going to try different. You're there to watch football, done not to look
at her in the press spot. You had the clip yesterday of the I
don't know what network it was, what what Twitter account it was. They
measured the amount of she's on the Old Times thirty seconds. Yeah, you
know total. Yeah, come on, you're rooting for Travis and Taylor.
You think there's two kids, you think they helped they make it so,
like Celindy on as we move on here. Eighty year old Joni Mitchell is
Canadian. She wanted tenth Grammy Best Folk Album for Joni Mitchell at Newport.

of solid Yeah, but talk to my my you know, grade one teacher.

all right, just me? Why don't the Canucks use the Pacific Haliseum
as a practice rank Ron Smith? You know we get in a lot of
that. Why not the coliseum? And I can't. I can't sit here
and tell you why. But I when you say new practice facility, do
you want all the new bells and whistles, Donnie, you don't want to
walk into a barn that's been there since nineteen seventy. I mean they'd refurbish
it. Yeah, I how much money can you put into it? These
new practice facilities like the one you saw in Boston today with Kusmiko, they're
beautiful. I mean you walk in and then the players got pride and they're
saying it's spending. I mean they why not just build a new one instead
of going to some refurbishing old one. I thought he was going to go
a step further or a step backwards and say why not use their original home
the P and E form. Oh the people played my minor hockey. That's
right, that's right. But that's even an older rank. Probably not gonna
happens. It's not gonna happen. They want a new one. But food
for thought. They like you say, it's it's something that's been brought up
before on the show. Go again, behind him, Okay, look at
this. Uh. Watching the Grammys, Billy Eilish's breathing reminds me of Rick
Paul from Surrey, who's Billy breathing heavily? Or was she breathing heavily.
Well, no, she's kind of a she's kind of a you have a
breathing issue, A breathy singer. Okay, you know, like she's so
good. Yeah, So she performed that song last night. Who was I
made for? What was I made for? Whatever? The barbie is a
barbie. She performed it. It's a breathy song. And you know what,
I watched it and it didn't cost me four hundred dollars, so I
was happy. That's an old story. We'll rehash it one of these days
on signed. Is it just me? But the is it not just me?
But the only reason to tune in Saturday to Saturday and hockey hockey in
Canada was because of Don Cherry back in the day. Is that like a
shot at Don Cherry? I guess I should have preread that, uh wreck,
but he got all right? Do you guys need to lock big Rye
in a room and uh make him watch every tape of Don Cherry's rock and
soccer hockey shoeshwap Scott. Remember how popular that was that you had to watch
Don Chair the videotapes and Donnie Christmas time, especially for kids in minor hockey.
That's what we did as parents would buy that and the kids would watch
it. It was unbelievable. JJ from Fiji Is it just me or should
Carl Weathers be in a BC Lions pop culture Ring of honor along with Pam
Anderson, Bjet Neilsen, Tito Santana and a few others and for people who
aren't aware of it, And it was all over Twitter, all over the
traditional media over the weekend. Carl Weathers left us late last week at the
age of seventy six. We all remember him as Apollo Creed and our roles
in Happy Gilmore and a whole bunch of TV shows and films. Spent two
or three years in the seventies with the Lions. He wearing number fifty five
and got less. Carl Weathers. Yeah, he was number fifty five for
the BC lines. Not a lot of people knew that, don All right
here, Buddy the dog from Suri says, as much as I should be
excited about the World Cup and Bank River, I am not because regular folk
can't go. Tickets will be in the thousands of dollars. Yeah, yeah,
just start saving now. Yeah, it's going to be expressed any idea
ryan to the tickets. What the price range would be, I don't know.
I just know there's gonna be a lottery system and then you go in.
But I wouldn't assume that, right Like, I mean, you're thinking
about what it's going to be for resale value and stuff. I don't know
what the starting prices are going to be if you get through the general lottery
in to buy tickets like normal people, they might be, you know,
start at two hundred bucks or something, which I know is still a lot
of money for a lot of So many people deal with the secondary margaret.
But that's the thing. Wherever they're playing against you have to you have to
compete with that the fans of that country, the people from that country.
Of the Hong Kong game. Again, I'll tell you the price is there
between one hundred and thirteen and six hundred and twenty four for friendly and the
cheapest here for MESSI I believe was ninety five that caps That would have been
a high, right Yeah? Is it just me from Adam the former bath
guy? But the NHL should adopt a street hockey style for choosing teams have
a winning fan from the host city, throw players stick to either side of
the ice. Remember that you play and it's not just street hockey. Oh
you're playing out outdoor hockey, or even just pick at center ice and somebody
comes up throws one stick one way, one stick the other. They're your
teams. That would be very old school. That would be very old school.
Absolutely I missed those days. Okay, Barnes and Noble still in Bellingham.
Trevor in Ladner says, Ryan, what are you talking about? Uh,
you can pick up some new books, next, get some Gallas and
tillamuck cheese. He sent the photo of Barnes and Noble, and I think
that's Bell's fair. I like to shop at Bellingham anywhere in Canada. Doesn't
know, but burn Barnes and Noble or Barnes and Noble in Bellingham. I
didn't know. I had no idea. I thought they were all defunct because
there's one. There used to be one in Linnwood at Alderwood Mall, and
that's gone. That's sad that you know that it's still that. Derek says,
that's still there too. Never mind, it's just sad, you know,
am I thinking of borders. There was a borders. I think nobody.
Okay, what good? I'm good about bookstores mixed? Do you know
any bookstores in Canada? You know Amazon was a bookstore, Yes I do.
That's how it started. Yeah, yeah, and then Bezels got the
idea of, hey, what about every product out there? Exactly literally as
I talk about somebody down in Seattle, what do you got? Rick?
All right? Does it just me stop talking about Taylor Swift? Back to
sports? Please? Well she's well, she's very involved in sports right now
in a lot of ways. Uh, Telly in North Vancouver? Is it
just me? Or was Boublay the star of All Star Weekend in Toronto?
His excitement brought an energy we haven't seen at an All Star game in years.
And it wasn't just Boublay. It was the other celebrities that were there,
the Canadians Alibis that were there. It was it was a good call.
Yeah, Debra was great. Jacket blew me away, loved it.
You were on Saturday. Yeah, it looked like a big mushroom. That's
what people said on Twitter. The red with the white dots, the mushroom.
That's the dots. That's what people were saying. Speaking of mushroom,
go stop. That's an inside joke. Kutcharov's performance during the skills cop was
a legendary. He's the perfect villain in the Hockey World camp for Victoria.
You can't have everybody acting like he did. But the combination of him clearly
not really being into it and having played for Tampa Bay and arch rival of
the or playing for Tampa Bay of the Leafs. But he was booed.
He was telling you he didn't want to be there, and that's that's okay.
That's bad. That's bad. He's remember one in the NHL and scoring
and he doesn't want to be there. You can't have everybody act like that,
But it's okay to have a villain. I think a villain. Oh
no, no, I agree with the task, I get it, but
boy, that's not a good look for the NHL what he did. Uh?
Is it just me? But because make a Wave is no train class,
specifically because Calgary has no practice facility and he can return to Bali.
I don't think he's going back there matnow and Chilliwack, eh, I don't
think he's going back to Bali. This is in Vancouver's in Calgary. If
he wants to go to BELLI can go to Belly. Well, I no,
no, it wasn't exactly good luck for him to go there. I'last
Millstein if he's going back? Yeah? I who you will? Okay,
I'll break. We'll wrap up the show in the poll. Question next,
Donnie Dolly the team on check bet ninety nine dot net pole question. Every
game begins at bet ninety nine dot net Rick. All right, here we
go our bet ninety nine dot net pole question, Ryan, get her up?
Get her up? What other move should the Canucks make before the trade
deadline? Sixty three percent say added defenseman over at a forward and don't make
a move at all. Seventeen hundred votes. It's happened. It's bopin.
Thanks to Thomas Trantz. We found out today that Elias Linnholm will be playing
on the right side, Pederson in the middle, mckayev on the left side,
and I guess what you call the Canucks second line at this point?
Also on Powerplay one, you've got some business, all right, let's talk
about the Bayside ocean front resort. Looking for a winter getaway. The baside

and he noticed the two of you guys. And so for those of you
on the podcast, the massive billboard next to BC Place is one of the
billboards around town that has a new Donnie and Dolly ad and it's you two
guys through a phone. Is this supposed to be somebody holding their phone?
And then it's you guys on the phone. That's right next to the Canucks
offices. Here. Rutherford looks at it, and I got evidence that the
Canucks look at us every single day of the week. Like of all the
Jimmy has Jimmy has told me outside his office, he looks out and he
sees these two. No wonder they're at first Place. Overall motivation, we
are playing a role in the Canucks success. That's outside the Canucks building by
the way. Anyways, worry, but I worry these days about the way
broadcasting companies are spending money. Yeah right, yeah, well is that money
well spent? I hope will tell we got one more photo. It's actually
four photos in one. I don't have the details. Rickey, you got
I got it right in you. Look at this beautiful day yesterday for a
