and Dully the team on check Don Taylor along with Rick Dunney Wall. Ryan
Henderson is our producer. He's the man at the controls, our director.
The voice of God is Derek Juan. How are you? Oh? It
couldn't be better. Let's get right into it. He round to the Stanley
Cup playoffs starts tonight. That's going to be the focus of our poll question.
But I want to focus on last night Devil's eliminating the Rangers final score
Game seven for nothing. But we want to talk about the Jacob Truba hit
on Timo Meyer. Let's take a look at it if you don't mind,
Derek and Ryan here it is third period scored two nothing new Jersey, no
penalty, and as of right now, no suspension. There's no hearing or
anything like that. It's not going to happen. What did you think,
Oh boy, you got your head down. You're traveling in the middle of
the ice. You should be aware that one of the biggest open ice hitters
in the NHL is out there and boom right there, Donnie, I'm sorry,
I I there's not dirty. You know, he had his head down,
he was in the middle of the ice. What's the principal point of
contact? Yeah, it is, but he's also low. Why I'm asking,
what's the principal point of contact. It's not the head, It is
the head, okay, but watch watch it's his shoulder though, watch shoulder.
Yeah yeah, right there, hits him in the head. But he
walked right in. So somebody has their head down into it. If somebody
has their head down, it's okay to hit them in the head. No,
it's not. And maybe the should be suspended. Yeah, maybe the
NHL should change the rule. But I have to say, in Truba's defense,
he lined them up. He got caught in the railway tracks and boom.
You brought up the philip Heronic hit with Reeves when and it's kind of
like the same thing. You know, head down you got caught in the
railway tracks and boom. Well, there's a lot of hits that this one
reminds me of one. Obviously, Scott Stevens on TERKLNDVUSS different era. We
moved forward a little bit, uh, Steve Moore on Marcus Nasland. That's
it head down and people in Vancouver went crazy over that one, and obviously
so did the Canucks. We know what happened in the aftermath. I thought,
at the very least, that's a penalty appenalty. There wasn't even a
penalty. But you don't think you disagree there was no penalty. As far
as we know this morning, the NHL has not contacted TRUEBA with the Rangers
and said you got a meeting, Nothing has happened. I think they viewed
it as a clean hit. Doney. Yeah. I just think when you
talk so much about the concussion issue, yes, and the principal point of
contact, it can't be the head. I thought that was that was textbook
and I know it's Jacob Trubble, You're right. You can't have your head
down. You have to be aware of who's on the ice that doesn't have
something to be That doesn't mean somebody can hit in the head. And you
look over in Europe and I think this is the case in the K and
I understand that. You know, maybe they shouldn't be the people that set
the standard over in the K. But in other parts of you you hit
someone in the head, it's it's a penalty. It doesn't matter if it's
accidental or whatever the case may be, or on purpose. I think at
the very least that comes under the that comes into the category of reckless and
I thought it should have been penalized and maybe even maybe even a suspension,
especially given a Troupers. I don't know about his suspension history, but his
reputation, well, his reputation, he's been suspended many times. But I'm
gonna tell you, you gotta know that he's out there, Donny, as
I told you, agree, you gotta know that doesn't mean it's okay for
him to you know, hit someone in the head. But he's also a
smaller player and Trupa is a bigger player, and he had his head down
and he just ran in. I don't know how small a Timo Myers that
I will say. I will say this though, that in the handshake line,
yes, they were okay with each and Troupa said are you okay?
And he said yeah. I think I think Timo Myers said, probably says
something to they're tough guys, and player says something to the effect of I
probably should have had my head up. Ye. I agree, But I
just wonder what your reaction would be, and and everybody out there who disagrees
with me, what your reaction would be if it was a Canuck that happened
to a Cad like it did. But Marcus Naslin Canucks. Twitter would have
gone nuts last night if that was a Canuck player. Again, the Devil's
win in seven, So round two and off the Devil's goum to take on
the Hurricanes, or as I have written here, the Oilers. The Devil's
going to take the Hurricanes this second round doesn't really excite me at all.
For one thing, that matchup. I'm a uniform guy, way too much
red and black in that in that man. That's not a glamorous that's just
me. I mean it's interesting the team that most recently won the Stanley Cup
of the final eight teams or the Hurricanes way back in six three. The
teams have never won the Stanley Cup never, so it's interesting from that point
of view. But a lot of the big dogs are out the Rangers,
Kings, I'm talking about big markets, ruins, historic markets. If you
want to talk about teams that didn't make the playoffs, the Blackhawks out there,
it's it's not a sexy final age if you want to call it a
final eight eight eight and Donnie five one hundred point plus teams out in round
one, it's it's a tough rocket. And as we wait for the Canucks
to make the playoffs, and just getting a hundred points and getting in does
not guarantee you're off to round two. Yeah, but hats off to the
Devils. They lose five one in game both games one and two, they
rebound the secure Schmidt shout out game seven. He looks really, really good.
Never heard of the guy in my life, to be honest with you,
sure, but goaltenders coming out of nowhere in the playoffs, never heard
of him. Sometimes that that works and he looks really good. Great glove
hand on display yesterday. So what are we hearing about Gerard Glant that his
job after two years in New York might be in jeopardy. A lot of
people are I got a lot of Texas morning saying Glant could be in trouble
in New York. They made the conference final last year, I know.
And they're up to nothing against Tampa, and they blew it up to nothing
against the Devils. They blew at Donnie one hundred points last year, one
hundred points this year. Eastern Conference Final. But this is the pressure of
a big market New York. The fans last night will rip in the hell
out of Galant. But was it Gerard Gallant's fault that or Tammy Panarin got
two assists seven games dot one assist one point five on five? Was it
his fault that Alex Lefrenier, a former first overall picks your point seven games?
Was it his? Was it his fault? All these guys underproduced?
Man, he don't know. Look he looks all the you know, attention
on him, the lottery balls, all of that. He looks ordinary.
Yeah, like he's in the National Hockey League. He's a tremendous athlete.
I get that, but it just I think it. We're safe to say
he hasn't lived up the expectation. So if it he just looks like solid
player, that's it on paper. The Rangers runbelieve, but they can't get
that. They couldn't get out of round one, Crieder on the ice for
all four goals last night, Donny, yeah, you can't help although he
over the course of the series, Yeah, he was very good. Has
been a JAD one goal. Come on, Yeah, these guys got to
produce. But now it looks like jag glance jobs that Jeopardy and we're hearing
the name Joel Quinville. Quinville. He comes with a few words. He
hasn't he hasn't been cleared by the NHL, and stand Bowman's names popping around
with the Penguins, but his he hasn't been cleared by the NHL. So
keep an eye on those two things. So round two starts. Uh,
tonight, let's go with the bet ninety nine dot Net poll question. We
want to get it out of the way that we don't want to dismiss it
here, but we have three guests today, so it's a jab pack show
as always. BET ninety nine dot net pole question every game begins at bet
ninety nine dot net. Oh boy does it ever? Our bet ninety nine
dot net poll question, what second round series are you the most interested in?
And leading the way? The Oilers and the Golden Knights forty five percent,
and then come the Panthers and the Maple Leafs well at forty percent.
Um. So there you go, the two Canadian teams, no surprise.
And look, you know, I know everyone's picking Edmonton, Donny, but
the Golden Knights were the top team in the Western Conference. I mean they
did, you know, they were number one in the Western Conference. Not
by much, but they were and they got home ice here. So we'll
see how that a series pans out. But it's Edmonton in Vegas. You
wonder about the goaltending with the gold Knights, but they have they have advanced.
Do you wonder where the goaltending with the Oilers up and down a round
one against the Kings up and out? But that that that's gonna be a
real intriguing series, if for no other reason that Connor McDavid and Leon Dreisidle
are are involved. And you got Jack Eikel in there as well. That
the Eikel McDavid twenty fifteen draft match it. So yeah, I would agree
with that. And there you see Devils and Hurricanes pulling up the rear.
Obviously a lot of people not liking all the black and red in that series.
I'm sure that was the deciding factor for a lot of people. Let
me say this, Panthers in Leafs tonight. Say what you want about the
Leaves. They bring a certain edge, uh you know to a matchup like
this for the rest of the country either love them or you hate them.
Now you get a lot of this right now, not a lot, but
some certainly. Yeah. Well, Panthers, they took out the Bruins,
second largest upset in National Hockey League history, playoff upset and National Hockey League
history, so surely they can take care of the Toronto Maple Leafs. So
I hearkened back to nineteen eighty two. Whoa, whoa, the biggest upset
in National Hockeyeague playoff history, Thank you, Ryan, biggest upset in National
Hockey League history, Kings over the Oilers. There was a forty eight point
difference during the regular season between those two teams, Panthers and Bruins of forty
three point difference. One of the differences that series compared to this series is
that that was the best of five best so a little bit different. So
you assume that if the Kings back in the day I'm going back again here,
Ryan, that back in the day eighty two, the Kings would have
no problem with the Canucks, who I think finished what fourteen fifteen points ahead
of the King's way back then. So you know, the Kings knock off.
The other is, surely they can knock off the van Canucks. Beat
him in five, beat him in five? Right? I think it were
like I think four of the games were one and then that that ended up
being a best of seven series, different playoffs format back then, four of
the five games ended up with one goal of results. But the bottom line
is the Canucks took out the Kings, who took out the mighty Oilers who
hadn't learned to win it at that time season at that time, and I
remember Terry Jones and the Edmonton Sun called the Oilers weak, kneed whimps,
something to that effect, and they were at that early stages. But then
the Canucks going beat the Kings, and everybody that thinks the Maple leaves are
gonna walk over the panthers. Your example is exactly why or the other way
around, the panthers walking over the maples. Yeah, just a dozen work
that way and you have this some great emotional moment, you know with the
Kings. They beat the Oilers and for them that was like it was like
it was huge. It was like their Stanley Cup. And here's the other
subject that comes up when it comes to that eighty two series. That miracle
on Manchester with Daryl Evans scrowing the Overton gole. That wasn't the final game.
That wasn't the deciding game. That was Game three. Kings lost the
next game, than won the next, the deciding game, the fifth and
deciding game that we're talking about, the game where they had the five nothing
lead, right right, That was that. That wasn't that series clincher.
I think a lot of people assume it was the series clincher. So if
you think that Florida beats Boston means that Florida is going to beat Toronto.
No, I hearkened back to nineteen eighty two, right, Ryan gam How
are you? I know you love those history lessons? No, he doesn't.
Whatever you want to talk about that's fine anything in the eighties. He
hates Ryan's upset because I rejected his poll question. I'm not no, I'm
gonna do it every day, you know, I'm not at all. I'm
never gonna stop you from going down memory lane because I'll have more gray hair
than what I currently have. Well, I'm the eighty two Canucks run was
the best Canucks run, you know. For me, eighty two is a
special heart for me and it always will be. Well. It was in
the eighties, It was in the eighties, but it was such. It
wasn't the I don't think it was the best run because but when it came
to the end, you knew they weren't going to beat the Islands. Nobody's
true. Nobody was beating the Islanders. The Islanders were the best, you
kids though there The Islanders were easily the best team in the league way back.
But Donny, but it galvanized the city everything with the towel power.
It was great. Little Ricky was I had my badges, all the stuff,
you know, as a fan, it was the city was on fire.
Yeah, But they had a chance in ninety four against the Rangers,
and they had a chance and did they ever were? And here if it
was so great? Rick? Eighty two, why was there no riot?
Okay, I'll come okay, but game one overtime, no answer, and
Harold snaps, I'll never forgive you ever in my life. It gives it
to my boss in overtime. Ever, one bad moment for Harold. I
think he did just find Is it safe to say like each run was different?
Yeah? Eighty two then they were different years. But in eighty two
the Canucks were they they performed better, better than they should have. Yeah,
that came out, That came out of nowhere, probably more than the
other two. And then ninety four they struggled. They should there were seventh
seat, but they should have been higher, right, Yeah, and then
in twenty eleven they were by far they should have been there. If you
want to, you know, you know, cry yourself to sleep tonight,
folks, if you're a knack fan show, Yeah, well there's that.
But take a look at those stats from twenty ten twenty eleven, not just
the overall standings. Canucks won the President's Trophy, but everything goals, four
goals against, power play, everything power played, all the significant stats.
Canucks were number one or number two, and then they end up blowing the
two nothing series lead, losing Game seven and and a riot afterwards. Did
you do you want to talk about um? Jonathan Kara talked to I to
Lacara Mackey, good kid in Sweden today. We later running out of town.
So Rick has talked with Jonathan Lacara Mackie, Like, gosh, I
wish I could have heard that conversation. It was quick. I'll tell you
this much. It was two second answers. It was the quickest call I've
made my life. But he's a good kid, kay, That's all I
wanted to know. Is he a good guy? You say, good guy,
good good kid. You're not going to find a better kid. You
also have an update on Cammy Grenado, so we'll say that. We'll say
that for later you Vancouver hockey fans out there. Here's what else is coming
up on the show. There's a lot going on. Snoop Dog possibly a
part owner of the Ottawa Senators DTMZ is it just me? Coming up in
the next hour, Craig Button is going to join us. He's returned from
the World Under eighteen Hockey Championships in Switzerland. Canada ends up with the bronze.
We'll talk with Greig about that and about the Downley Cup playoffs. Big
Rye. That quit a guy this hour at Chris Hebb CEO now of the
BC Hockey League. Big changes for the BC Hockey League. We'll talk to
Chris about that. Not everybody's a fantasy, you know. I talked to
a lot of people in hockey yesterday and not everyone's happy with what the BC
Hockey League's doing. Over Jonathan L. Karamacki's thoughts on it. Do we
know? It was quick? Did zero nothing and uh up? Next joining
us from Calgary. He works for Sportsnet. Veteran reporter Eric Francis. So
much going on in Calgary, much the dismissal, of course of Darryl Sutter
and your building. We'll talk about that and more with the Eric. Thanks

don't. I still't think he had his head down the middle of the ice.
And I'm sorry, mister Truber, said boom. Eric Francis joining us
now from Calgary works for Sportsnet. Eric, thanks for doing this, sir.
How are you hi, maxellent boys? How are you very good?
Very good? All sorts of things going on in Calgary, of course,
Eric no playoffs. But but the new building and the Flames looking for a
new coach. Do you understand why the Flames let go of Darrel Cutter?
Oh yeah, it was painfully obvious as someone who's with the team every day.
The culture was poisoned under Darryl Cutter. It was just somebody described as
a black cloud that hovered over this team for the last little while. And
it's a players did not enjoy going to the rink. You're not allowed to
celebrate the wins. The losses were unbearable. It was it was just a
culture that guys didn't want to be a part of it. I think in
exit meetings we started seeing players voice that, saying that, yeah, I'm
going to move moving on. At the end of my next confute, one
of my contract engine that mass exodus was coming, and I think the organization
saw that, and hey, I think all you need to know about the
culture that this organization under Daryl Sutter is the fact that the GM left.
He just walked away, just decided, you know what, this situation is
not tenable for me anymore. I'm out of here. And it was him
falling on the sword that opened up the door for them. To fire the
coach. Unfortunately into it two weeks earlier, because then maybe Tree Living would
still be here. But at the end of the day, you know,
they got rid of the coach and that was the problem with this organization for
the last couple of years. Okay, Eric, but let's turn back the
clock at twelve March, or turned the calendar back. Comparisons mixed up there.
Twelve months Jack Adams award to year contract extension that hasn't even kicked in
yet. What changed? What changed? Uh? You know, Well,
Don Maloney's talked yesterday about the shelf life you know, of hard ass coaches
generally speaking, you know, and he said they all have a short shelf
life. And we've we've heard that forever. That's to me, it's almost
a little cliche. We'd say that about Mike Keenan, we'd say it about
Darryl Sutter. You know, eventually these guys tuned coaches out. Well,
we know eventually every coach gets tuned out at some point in time. And
it's funny that you say turned back the clock twelve months, because like twelve
months ago to almost today, Calgary Flames opened. They won the first round
against Dallas and dramatic fashion. Then they go to play the Edmonton Oilers,
the whole provinces in a tizzy. Flames win nine six in the first game.
Oh my god, this isn't this great? Darryl Sutter coach in the
year, This is amazing. And then from that point on it's just been
an absolute catastrophe of the Calgary players. They lost four to rod of the
Oilers. Jacob Marksham never recovered from that series. Had a horrible year this
year, which was a large reason why they couldn't make the playoffs this year.
All sorts of players had terrible years, and I really do think it
has everything to do with the culture. These guys were not having fun at
the rink. They weren't They didn't feel respected, they didn't feel that they
retreated fairly, and today's athlete doesn't put up with that. I thought it
was fascinating. Guys. I don't know if this struck you and or if
you even watch the press. Do you guys even watch the Calgary gong?
So I guess when it's a tire fire, everybody likes to watch it.
But we've got our we We've got our own tire fire here in Vancouver.
We haven't got time for the Calgary. It's been eleven years. Only so
much time. Okay, fair enough, there's always so many fires we can
watch. But Maloney said, and I thought this was really interesting. Ten
years ago, athletes and their exit meetings wouldn't have said Booth. Even if
they hated the coach the manager, doesn't matter. You say, hey had
a great ear boys, looking forward to see you the next year. I'll
be better next year. But that doesn't happen anymore. Today's athletes are gonna
just be honest with you and tell you, look, I hated this,
I hated that. And they were opened up and they absolutely unloaded on Darryl
Sutter and the exit meeting. And I think it's fascinating and appropriate that the
organization listened to the players. And also Don Maloney said they listened to agents.
And some people might say, well, that's ridiculous. But when an
organization gets a reputation around the league because agent's all talk and they had a
position all their different players all over the place, if the reputation is that
Cadger is no fun to play out, my clients are there and they hate
it, that is important too. So good on for doing all their due
diligence and making the right move. Eric, Huberto and Caudrey. They come
in, their point production goes way down. Huberto's agent tweets out, you
know what's going on, talk about those two and how tough of a time
they had under Daryl. Yeah, Huberto came out yesterday right after Sutter was
fired and kind of unloaded on Sutter a little bit, just saying, you
know what, like he had me on the wrong wing. I mean,
this was a guy who just had one hundred and fifteen points the year earlier,
second in the league, and the coach wants to move them to the
other side of the ice for the first time in his career. It just
it didn't. They didn't jive with one another from the start. The style
of play was much different, And I think a lot of that's on Huberto
too, Like he came from Florida, where it's basically shinny hockey, and
him to Calgary where it's a very structured system. That's a huge adjustment for
a player to make, and Huberto just wasn't able to make it. Now,
is it the coach's fault or was the coach not handling him properly.
There was an incident, guys. I don't know if you remember this where
Huberto left the bench in the middle of a period. At one point we
asked after the game what happened, and Darryl Sutter said, and I'll paraphrase,
I think he might have gone. He might have gone to take a
crap. It was a soul, yeah, you know, and I think
he was trying to be funny, but I can tell you it went over
like a lead balloon in that room. Mabel thought it was really really disrespectful
to Huberto and almost a slam on him. And that's the sort of make
this coach was all about sending messages, and those guys saw that as a
message and they didn't like it at all, and as a group, that
was kind of one of the turning points for them. All Right, look
ahead, you're looking for a new general manager, you're looking for a new
head coach. Give us some names who they talking to. Well, you've
got a lot of internal candidates, but I don't know if they're you know,
they were really crowing yesterday about the fact that they've got a chance for
a fresh start. And if you really do want a fresh, clean start
with a new GM and a new coach. You may not be looking internally.
I don't know. Craig Conroy is the people's choice for the general manager's
job. Done everything as an assistant GM they've ever asked for, and the
people here love him. Is he ready to be the GM? I think
he would be, but that's he probably heads the list. Brod Pasco is
another assistant general manager here, has done a great job with the minor hockey
team here with the HL affiliate. You know, we could look around the
league. Mike Food, Sean Burke, Brennan Burke. I can give you
a list of guys, but at the end of the day, it's not
really appropriate for you give me to give you a list of coaches because good
on the Flames, they're giving this job to the whatever GM gets the job
and says, now it's his decision who's going to be the head coach.
So the internal guys will get looked at, But if a brand new guy
comes in here, I'm not sure the journal guys will get much of a
look at all. And there's some great candidates in house here. As a
matter of fact, I'd say three the top ten guys around the league are
right here in Calgary. Mitch Love, he's been running the Flames HL affiliate.
He's been coach of the Year both years he's been in the HL.
That's pretty good, you know. Kirk Muller, I don't need to explain
his resume to you. And of course Ryan Husko has done some great things
at all different levels too. He's an assistant here. So I don't know,
guys, but they're doing it right. They're putting the horse before the
cart, and they're going to find a GM who gets to make that decision
very quickly. Eric, before we talk about the building as we wrap things
up here. But is it Hartford Flames fans to watch what Matthew Kachuck is
up to you right now? Yeah? It certainly was not. It did
not go unnoticed that the game winning goal that Florida scored the other night,
there was Sam Bench, there was Matthew Goodchuck right there on the goal,
right on the doorstep, putting the fucking the net. Yeah, people in
this city will always watch Matthew Kotchuck very closely. People love that guy,
even though he exited wanted out. People appreciate the fact that he did it
the right way, unlike Johnny Coudroew in their mind, a lot of people
didn't like the way Johnny Codroew left it to the eleventh hour and kind of
toyed with the planes. In their opinion, Matthew was up Matthew was up
front, set guys, I'm not signing an extension next year. You might
want to get rid of me now. So they did. People love that
guy. I can't believe that he had an even better year this year than
he had the year before with Johnny Goodrow on one wing and Elias Linholm in
the middle, but he was even better this year. And the knock on
him in Calgary was that he's not a big game player. He's not going
to come through in the playoffs. While boy, we're seeing that he was
the best player in that series in my opinion, and also remember he scored
the game winning goal in overtime to win the Memorial Cups. So I begged
it for that. He's not a big game player. He is going to
be the focal point of this series against Toronto. Mark my words. Keep
in mind, Eric, when we talk about tire fires in Vancouver, that
the Canucks passed up and Matthew Kuldchuck twenty sixteen draft and took you only Levy
instead the arena very quickly. What's it going to do for the Flames.
I don't know what the timeline is yet. What's it going to do for
the flames? What's it going to do for the city. Well, it's
huge. Now. The problem is, guys, it's all pending an election,
right, This was an election promise and we're have an election at the
end of this month that if the UCP doesn't get in, that arena deal
will probably be scuttled pretty quickly by the NDP. So if people in Calgary
are hockey fans, at their sports fans, at their concert goers, they
know where they have to vote in this upcoming election. It was a very
savvy move by Danielle Smith in that regard. This city needs it. It's
a world class city and it deserves a world class venue. It houses lacrosse
and houses HL hockey and houses the NHL. It will now house world class
concerts like you guys see, and they wouldn't come over the Rockies to come
to Calgary because the load couldn't Our little ruffel chip roof couldn't bear the load
of today's rock band. So at the end of the day, it's going
to be a huge transformative building and community in a downtown area that's quite darrel.
Like you guys have been to the Saddle Dome, there's nothing around there.
Well, now they're going to build an entire community around there that's gonna
tons of revenue, creates several memories for this city. It's and it could
also help stop the flow of players leaving Calgary. No one's leaving, Jess
because the rink sucks. They're leaving for a lot of reasons, but the
rink is just one of the many reasons why no one would seriously consider coming
to the Calgary Planes. Moving forward, Okay, get back to the tire
fire. Thanks Eric, appreciate this, dear boys, call anytime. J
Yeah, you bet. Eric Francis from a sports tent last time I checked,

Hockey Canada starting June first. B CHL saws playoffs going on right now joining
us now BHL CEO it used to be the commissioner, now the CEO Chris
Hebb. Chris, thanks for doing this. How are you, sir,
doing good? Donny Dolly L? How does this move make sense for your
group? Chris, Well, it's been a long time coming, guys.
This is not a knee jerk reaction. But the BCHL has evolved in a
way that in some cases has been had barriers created by what we think are
outdated regulations. So we spent time within the system trying to create change.
The CGHL obviously wasn't willing to ask the questions we were asking, and so
we had to ask them on our own, and eventually it just got to
the point where we weren't getting any responses, and so the board, in
its wisdom, has decided to leave the system. Chris, A lot of
positives, but I also have had a lot of people reach out to me
Chris. And then one of the biggest concerns is the BC born players.
Okay, so you're allowed to each team, but now you can go outside
of British Columbia in Canada and you can go to Europe in the States and
get those young kids. You're worried about BC players and their spots on teams
in the BC League. No, Rick, that was really important to us.
We are the BCHL, and so we've left the minimum for BC players
on every team at five and I will much change, okay, But but
the sixteen seventeen year olds, so Chris, those are the you know,
the ones that come into your league and get those ncuba A scholarships because right
now you're the number one league anywhere for nc Double A scholarships. Yeah,
that's one of the things we're really proud of, Rick. I mean,
twenty five percent of NCAA Division One rosters right now have come through the BCHL
and we just want to do more of that. But we want to be
able to do it for every Canadian kid. And right now, unless you
live in BC, you have to wait till you're eighteen to play in our
league, which to us doesn't make any sense unless your parents are willing to
move to b C. Yeah, it just never has made any sense.
It's it's something that we've asked about. It is something that we've lobbied against.
And now the the pathway is open for good sixteen and seventeen year olds
who want to go to college. And we want to have scouts in the
rink every night to come to the BCA shell from out of province. How
are you going to get around the affiliation with Major midget Junior b you know
obviously all the academies. How are you going to get around that. Well,
we would obviously hope that Hockey Canada would not punish these kids and not
let them affiliate, but that could happen and they could see us as a
rogue league. I don't know how a sixty one year old league that's done
what we've done would be considered rogue, but they may consider us rogue.
So what we will do is we will expand our rosters and carry more players
to make sure that we're never caught in a situation where an injury puts us,
you know, at in jeopardy of not having enough players. So we
hope that what happens is that Hockey Canada and BC Hockey work with us.
We'd like to work with them. Guys. All we're doing is leaving an
association. You know, it's it's not the end of the world. And
at the end of the day, this league will be operated in every way
the way it's been operated under Hockey Canada, in some situations even better.
So we hope we can all work together, not eligible anymore for the national
Championship? Chris, is that right? Yeah, but we already had that
done because we left the CGHL three years ago and the Hockey Canada's response was
to not invite us to the National Championship, which we never understand stood and
BC Hockey never understood. But you know, there's lots going on in Hockey
Canada that, for our all intents and purposes, doesn't make sense to us.
Probably makes sense to others in the organization, but we just don't think
it's creating the kind of development opportunities for college that it should in Canada.
It sounds Chris, correct me if I'm wrong to get there's some hard feelings
from the Hockey Canada side. I honestly don't know, don because we can't
get a restaonse from anybody. If somebody would sit down with us and say,
yeah, here's the situation, here's what we would like to do,
and we hear you, but we don't have any crosstalk whatsoever with Hockey Canada.
The caliber of playing the BCHL has been strong for a long long time.
Maybe to sum up, do you expect the talent level and all of
that to improve with this move. That's our intention. I mean, right
now, we have almost half of our players get college commitments every year,
which is ridiculous. I don't know why we aren't the model across the country
for the way you handle college tracking hockey, but it feels to us like
we're we're going to be a better league because the player pool has been expanded.
Now we can get a couple of international kids to come. We can
get out of Province kids to come and play in an environment where they're going
to learn fast and develop better and go to college. Okay, before I
let you Chris, four teams left in the playoffs. What Pons lost four
games total all year? Can anybody knock them off? Well, they're going
to be tough, obviously, and they just got better over the course of
the year. But we've got teams alive in these playoffs that are going to
see what they can do to knock off the Kings. And look what just
happened to the Bruins. I mean in the playoffs, goalie gets hot,
somebody you know, loses some confidence and that can happen. We're proud of
what Pintictons doing. We want everybody to do. What Pententicton's doing is to
elevate the standard to what amounts to a clear rival to Major junior in terms
of the standard on the ice. But I think they're going to be tough
to beat, there's no question about it. They had fourteen kids come back
from a championship team, which never happens in early We always have turnover,
but that's that's what happened for Penticton this year and it'll be somebody else's turn
you watch, Chris, Thanks for doing this, appreciate it. We'll talk
to you in a bit. Mcare guys, you bet. Chris heb CEO
of the bc HL. Penticton is up to nothing on Salmon Arm the other
series Albernie Valley up to nothing on Chilliwack. Both of those series resume tonight.
So he mentioned there there's still that restriction you have to have five minimum
of five BC born and bred players on your BCHL roster. Yeah you do,
and look Donnie there, that's the biggest key for me is the BC
kids. It's the BC League. Take care of your BC kids first.
Always, it's the British Columbia Hockey League. So make sure you take care
of your kids. I understand they're doing all this. There's positives to it,
but there's some negatives to it. They got a refereeing issue they got
to figure out. And I'm going to tell you something else, Donnie.
Right now, the USHL is a big you know, is causing problems too
because that league right now, look at this, Donny Macklin, Celebrini,
Owned Power, and Adam Fantelly have played for the Chicago Steal in the past
few years. These are top overall picks in the Nhlnian kids. Yeah,
yeah, and and and you know you can talk about as Cellabrini, why
didn't you play in the BC Hockey League as a sixteen year old wyzee in
Chicago? Because I'll tell you why. Chicago's Steal they got a damn good
reputation among agents and among a lot of hockey people. So there's competition out
there, Donnie, and sometimes you gotta do things to uh, you know,
compete, compete absolutely, and they think this is the best way to
go. Just make sure you take care of your BC kids first. You've
got some business before we go to break. Yeah, that's right, you
better. Well, it's it's it's good kids. It's the best league in
Canada. Buy a country mile. I love junior hockey. I love these
kids. You and I both sat on the bus with junior kids. We
know the commitment they make at a young age to move from town to town
away from their families with billets. You know that. Donna and I spent
a lot of times with junior kids. I have a ton of respect for
them. And you know what, just make sure you take care of you
the local kids. All right. The Arnold Palmer designed Whister Golf Club is
getting ready to open May twelfth, and there's no before. What do you
mean? I loved you you when you and I paid her dues up North.

and yeah, there's ten minutes for five minutes. No, no, I'd
like to be thorough im. I'm not gonna spend two hours for five days
straight like Dollywall did. But he's got a power wash quickly. The leaf
blower is a great invention. Yeah, it's just just phenomenal. It's just
it's it saves you from It's just it cuts time. It's so good.
I love it. Mine's a two and one. It's a leaf blower and
a vacuum. Hm. So vacuum. Yeah, you have fun with that.
Yeah, it'll suck. Yeah, Okay. Tonight is the marks the
start of the NHL announcing their award finalists. Uh, tonight will be the
Sauchie finalists, as well as the Lady Bing finalists. All of the predictions
when it comes to the Saukie Trophy all say pretty much unanimously that Patrice Bergeron
will win the Sauchie Trophy. Uh. One Copatar your favorite for the Lady
Being trophy apparently, Uh, the trophy, no one cares about it.
It's really true. Uh, and so they go, all due respect to
well and the Lady Being mister Lady byng, I'm gonna say it's probably a
mister Bing. Yeah, Chad. Her Being is his grandfather, so his
grandmother. So that starts tonight tomorrow to be interesting, as they called.
The trophy gets announced and then it goes on and on as the playoff.
This next round of the playoffs continues this year the NHL Awards show being held
in Nashville, the site of the draft towards the end of June is when
they have the Awards show. I didn't know the history of the Lady Being
all that. Well, he named in honor of Marie Evelyn Morton, Lady
Byng, wife of the Viscount Being of Vimy. So she was Lady Bing
No they did. They just picked some random Yeah. But I'm saying because
her name obviously doesn't have bing in it. No, it doesn't. So
so it's Lady Being. No. No, but the the Viscount Being whatever
the hell this is who she was married to? The Viscount. What's a
viscount. Well, it's a brand of cigarettes from what I remember, That's
what I thought it was. But it's something self royal things, some title.
He commanded Canadian forces at the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Okay, well,
so I mean right there, let's stop joking. Absolutely, no kidding.
Yes, but yeah, so as I mentioned sukey Lady bing tonight called
her tomorrow Norris Trophy coming out on Thursday night, Quinn Hughes maybe with a
voter too. There, we'll see. You better get a voter too.
We know for sure you do well, you can't do anything done, but
you gonna you know, it would be a travesty if you didn't get some
votes. We know for sure he will get at least one because our guest
at eleven o'clock said he was gonna put him on his BA Craig button.
Yeah, he's gonna vote for Quinn Hughes. Yes, yes, so we
will get a vote. Let's see what happens. And again, when it
comes to the NHL Awards, Taylor no problem with the current names of all
the NHL trophies, despite being pretty much no reference to the league. I
we just talked about Vimy Ridge here and you're gonna just do away with the
name Lady Big. But the bigger trophies, let's be honest here, the
eager trophies. I don't want to go on about this because it's an and
you and I can continually win Yeah, no, not quite. People go,
oh, he has a good point. No, not one of these
days when we've got nothing else to talk about, we'll go over and old
debate. Yes, that's right, we do that a lot. This is
something that is interesting. Earlier this morning, Shams with the Athletic breaking news
that the Memphis Grizzlies have informed pending free agent Dylan Brooks Canadian Dylan Brooks that
this is strong wording he will not be brought back under any circumstances. U
League sources say, uh, and the story goes on. First of all,
Dylon Brooks was offered a contract earlier in the year by Memphis and said
no thanks, but no thanks, brother, to wait till the end of
the year. And then, of course we know what happened in this last
round Lakers and the Grizzlies and him poking the bear with Lebron and then kind
of running away from the fight after that. Uh not, kind of,
he did run away from the fight after Trump is peak into the media and
his performance too, he just kind of it was not a great. A
lot of people said, you watched the T and T bro not a great
ball. He's an average players, He's an average player run of the mill.
I think it was Barkley. He kept saying, you know, he'll
give you eleven and seven, but there's a lot of guys that will give
you eleven and seven. That's not, you know, a big deal.
So Dylan Brooks will hit hit free agency. And it sounds as though this
relationship kind of went sour again with this with this postseason run, and the
Grizzlies weren't all that thrilled with the way he played, and they're fine to
walk away from him as free away from Yeah, but which is the baggage?
Because I wonder if he had stuck with the act, if that would
have made him more desirable by the Grizzlies, if they went, man,
look at this guy. He got under Lebron's skin. You know, he
was noticeable in the game. You know, he brought an element. He
kind of you know, pulled the team into it a bit a lot of
nights. But instead he just became a distraction because he had those comments about
Lebron and then as I said, he just kind of he didn't talk to
the media after that any of the games. He basically said, yeah,
I don't need to prove myself you know, to anyone, is that his
doing or did the clubs say anything to him? But it was his doing?
Okay? He he because multiple times he was leaving the room as reporters
were going in and he basically said, I got nothing to say to you
today, and he would just leave them walk away. So Canadian Dylan Brooks
will be a free agent coming up of this year. Last night in the
NBA, the Suns taking a two nothing lead, Uh no, I got
that backwards. Took a two nothing lead in that series, and Philly,
surprising people, take a one game lead on the Celtics in Game one of
that series without Joel embat but a big performance by James Harden. I don't
know if you guys saw what he was wearing as he got into the building
last Nay, it was actually you know what, It's actually not that surprising
because Rick actually has the same outfit as what's from the Rick Dolly Water.
Yeah, I've seen Rick. Rick has actually showed up to uh the studio
wearing this in the pass there you go, that's that. He wore that
to the Moore that last night James Harden did Oh my goodness, And who's
the denim is there, who's the who's the Is it a muppet or a
sesame street? That's all the cookie monster. It's kind of what he looks
like. It's kind of a cookie monster. It's the same color blue as
the like what is I don't know? And are you not a million degrees
in that thing too? Like i'd be I'd be on fire. See the
shoe. You can't see your shoe. You could take four steps before anybody
knows you're wanting. But the old wide remember that. You won't remember this,
but you remember flared pants. And then after that was the it was
the wide legs. Why, yeah, well this takes it to another extreme.
Well, wide legs, wide leg pants or kind of how are you
you don't big with the youth now? And exactly how do you rememberer back
then? And don't tell me you're a youth right now? No? No,
But like baggie pants, this is not like, this is another This
is another level. This is just outrageous look at me type yeah, stupid
and hey again he backed it up last night. I think I'm pretty sure
he had forty points. I think it was his final total. He played
great for the sixers in the sixers Steel Game one in Boston, like if
you fell off the building problem and fun fact about this outfit, Craig Button
told me he's going to wear the exact same thing and he's hit with you
guys. Next yea, he joins the show. It's not even all the
team on check. All of our guests today, including Craig Button, standing
by on this Tuesday. Brought to you by the Bayside Ocean Front Resort,
an exciting spring in summer season and waits at the Bay Side, including as
soon to be a completed outdoor pool fully equipped with ocean view cabanas, alongside
the number one ranked coffee shop in Parksville, the Bay Cafe two five zero,
two four eight eight triple three to book your reservation and mentioned Donnie and
Dolly for ten percent off your nightly room right also grabs him Donni and Delhi
merch now on sale at the base. He's back from Switzerland and the World
Under eighteen Championships TSN Scotting director Craig Button. Craig, thanks for doing this.
How's the trip? It was fantastic and you know you go to Switzerland.
It was a nice set up. Everybody, you know, really with
respect to the international hockey community. It was nice to spend time with everybody
and to have that opportunity to be you know, person to person contact.
And as we see in these tournaments, they get better as time goes on.
In the final day, bronze medal game, Ankle Metal game, what
two fantastic games and certainly a lot of excitement with the entire tournament. So
we're really positive and now we move on to NHL playoffs. I think it
should Canada be satisfied with the bronze Craig given what was over there. I
think so. I think so, don Yeah, I mean it was a
team that was capable of competing for a gold medal, and you know,
they had nine players returning from their he Lincoln Gretzky team that won a gold
medal. But the two best teams in the tournament played in the gold medal
and it went to I went to overtime, and you know, you look
at it. You know, Canada got out scored fifteen to two by Sweden.
No, it wasn't accidental. Sweden was not much better than Canada and
Canada was undefeated in the rest of their games, So it tells you that
they fit into the right spot in the tournament. So and I think the
way they found a way to win the bronze medal. They had some injuries,
corn Curson Barnison went out and they lost Callum Richie and so I think
just the way they did. But I mean, anybody that's watching Max Cellabrini
play, I mean I have swung right. I mean, like when I
watched Max Cellabrini play and I watched Cole Eiserman played two great players. But
the way Cellabrini plays the game, like Jonathan Days right now, he has
to be the number one guy. For the twenty twenty four drop. He
was brilliant. He was Canada's best player. Knack fan Macklin Celebrini Devil's all
the ranges for nothing. Game seven. What did you think of the TRUEBA
hit on Timo Meyer? Yeah, I thought it was I thought within the
context of the rules in the NHL, it's a it's a clean body check,
and you know, we we can discuss and it's a different discussion about
should there be head contact allowed? The International Ice Hockey Federation doesn't allow it
for the most part, but the NHL, right now, does I go
all the way back to twenty ten, twenty eleven with those blindside hits on
Mark Savard and I forget who the other one was on, but David Booth
and Colin Campbell said do we want this hit in the game? That's what
he said. He said, do we want that type of hit in the
game? So what like in that play? I think it's within the rules
of the NHL. It's an allowable head and I think it's fine in that
regard. The question now we ask ourselves, is that something we want in
the game. I want physical play, I want body checking, But much
like football, do we have to make sure that we don't impact the head?
Because you know that we know the impact, we know what the effects
are on head contact. So how do we slow the game down a little
bit? How do we make sure that there's still physical play but with the
head being protected. That's a different discussion. I think that the right call
was absolutely made with respect to the way the rule book has written. With
that H Craig our first time to talk to you about what happened in Boston,
best regular season in NHL history. They're out in Round one? Did
you see that coming? How shocked were you. I was shocked. Rick.
You know, I watched Game six in its entirety from Switzerland, and
you know, you have the three stars of the game, and I'm watching
that game and I'm thinking, like, who are the three duds? Who
are the five duds? And players that you wouldn't expect Ladas Allmark was terrible,
chart Matt Boy was terrible, Patrice Berjon was terrible, and You're going
like, who is playing in these players jerseys and how can they have such
a fall off in their play? But it wasn't just those three. I
mean Connor Clifton had a tough Game six, and then you start to go
through the lineup and what I would say is whatever could go wrong did go
wrong at the wrong time for the Boston Bruins. And you know, the
Florida Panthers, I think they sensed. I think they sensed they had a
team that was vulnerable, and you know, they had to go and win
two games in Boston. But I think by the time they got the Game
seven, I think the Florida Panthers confidence was pretty high. And you know,
if you break it down to one thing, the goaltending Jennings Trophy winning
goaltending for the Boston Bruins. Oh boy, was it bad in the playoffs
versus of Florida. And that's not going to get you anywhere, that type
of goaltending, Craig. But a lot of people in Toronto are wishing for
Florida. They think it's an easier route. But you know, preview that
series for us, I don't think it's going to be a sweep for the
Maple Leafs. Yeah, I don't think it's gonna be a sweep at all.
So Rick, you're just a young guy, Donny, and I'll remember
this. You'll have to go look up the hits. A whole lot of
second here. Crag. I'm not that old. I didn't. I didn't
say to that old. I didn't say. I said, Rick, you're
younger than Downy and I. We're young in spirit. We don't look like
right. So nineteen ninety four Ric nineteen ninety four team in Dallas, we
dusted the Saint Louis Blues in four games. We dusted them. It wasn't
even close. And we're licking our chops. Vancouver and Calgary Game five,
game six, Game seven, double overtime have opera scores that fantastic overtime winner,
and they come down to Dallas and we're licking our chops. Oh boy,
and we got this team. They dusted us like we were an American
Hockey League team. The fact that it even got the five games was a
miracle because they were so much better than us. The Toronto map Leaves better
be leary of the Florida Panthers for that exact reason. First of all,
down the stretch, they were in playoff mode. They got to find a
way to win three games where if they don't, they go home. That
was the Vancouver Canucks and night and forget about whipping our butts. It's the
second round of the playoffs. They went all the way to game seven.
They were down three games to one, and then they'd go and take it
all the way to game seven. That's what the Toronto and the Toronto maple
Leaves. Despite winning this series, a stronger Toronto maple Leaves team against a
weaker Tampa Bay Lightning team than last year, weren't as good as the Trontal
map Leaves team last year. The last seam Game seven, the Lease better
get their game in order because Florida as a formidable opponent. Yeah, okay,
and Craig before I let you go very quickly Kracking and Dallas Chris around
here, we're talking a lot about Seattle. Do people underestimate the Dallas Stars
one hundred and eight eight points and then they took care of Minnesota as well.
I think they do underrest to make them and you know, for the
for the Colorado, ABB wants to full marks to Seattle, Cracking for you
know, really pushing the Colorado Avalanche over the ledge. And you know,
Colorado didn't get enough from promote too many players in the lineup. They had
some injuries which which affected them. Dallas doesn't have that problem. They had
the best goaltender remaining in the Western Conference. In fact, they have the
best goaltender remaining in the entire playoffs in my opinion, And they have a
lot of depth their defense. Mero Hayskinning, I think he'said under the radar,
brilliant defender in the National Hockey League. And Seattle's quick and they're fast
and they're gonna push you. But I think Dallas has got too much.
I think Dallas is a team that could find themselves deep into the playoffs.
Deep and when I say, deep, I'm talking competing for a Stanley Cup
final? Will not our Stanley Cup? Will it be easy? No?
But I agree with you Donnie. You know, I think they may be
a little bit under the radar. And Peter Dubor's record is he takes teams
and gets them to the cup. Vinylus first year coaching. Yeah, Craig,
good to have you back on North American soil. I know Rick likes
your shirt. Craig. I don't know. I don't know if you think
I'm thirty years old, but I'm over fifty and under fifty five. I'm
not far behind you, guys, not far behind you. You're not far
behind Craig. I think I got your beata a few years Craig, like
you, Craig, I'm not twenty years old. You know I looked twenty
Okay, honestly, nineteen ninety four was thirty years ago. So you know,
if you started watching hockey when you were six, that would make your
thirty six. So so maybe basically I look at you as as a forty
year old. So you're aging very well. Thank you, Thank you doing
And if you want to look as good as Donnie and me, when where
all that age. Just keep doing what you're doing. Yeah, yeah,
thanks Craig, appreciate it. Hey caret Craig button. We talked about some

Ryan, what's some fat, Lady Red? The Sam Cook I was the
Sam Cook song. Wonderful world, fantastic, fantastic, incredible song. Uh,
in front of his terrible it really is in front of the laptop is
the genogic sign puck I'll protect Series two hockey cards. Uh, and the
card Oh the day as the Oh, there's a bit of a shine on
it. But as the leaves take on the panthers is a bit of a
shine on that player. Yeah, Sam Bennett, he's been a great player.
Not related to Sam Cook. No, it looks like there's ice in
front of him and he just kind of you know, a quick stop and
start. Look at he's a hockey player, and look at the card.
It looks like and start. I'm looking at this and I think there's ice
in the back of him as in front of him. It looks like he
just went up sprayed the goalie. Yeah that happens. Yeah, when I
was a kid growing up, that was like the shot on a hockey card.
Yeah, spraying the goalie, stop and start. If you had that
shot where the where the player was spraying into the camera, ice was great.
It was a great day. It was it was standing where are we,
lady and red? Okay, you some information regarding the Canucks. You
talked with Jonathan LAKARAMACKI. Yeah, when he plays hockey has ice in front
of him and behind him. Stop it. Not every card's got that,
Donnie. That was a different card. What a hockey card with ice spraying?
Why can't you see that he sprayed the ice on the hockey KARAMACKI all
right. I talked to him this morning is Sweden. He's disappointed his team
loss in Game seven, Donnie, but happy about his playoffs fifteen points in
fifteen games. He said he's finally healthy for the first time in a long
time. Confidence is sky high. Now he's going to talk to his agents
soon about where he's going to play next year. I've been told the Canucks
early word as the Canucks would like him back in Sweden for one more year
before he comes to Habsburg. Some say he wants to move up a league
in Sweden to the SHL. Time will tell, we'll find out soon.
But his North American agent, Jerry Johansson, told me he's going to talk
to the Canucks soon. Very important pick, Donnie first pick of the new
regime. The old regime traded so many first round picks Donny was ridiculous.
So now they got a nurture of this kid, develop them, get them
over. Maybe one more year in Sweden and then I want a second.
What about the new regime. They just let go a first round draft pick
and a second, Yeah, and a second. And if they and the
way shaping out in the playoffs, the Comucks would have had three picks in
the first forty three dot pick down to one pick in the top forty three.
Cammy Grenado still hearing her name in Philadelphia. Not saying she's going to
get the job there, but her name is still out there, is the
Philly Flyers continue to look for some higher So again, just just out there.
I'm not saying she's going to Philly, but it's out there. She's
been around for a while. Yeah, and Emily cast on Gay first,
there was a small conversation with her, but you could see teams uh calling
and talking. They're looking for new people in Philadelphia and uh the way you
go. Okay, Um, let's move away from the Canucks for a second.
And the playoffs at focus on the auto Ofwa senators. And we've made
a big deal over the last several weeks about Ryan Reynolds being part of a
group that is bidding on the senators, and we're talking about the senators being
sold for somewhere in the neighborhood of one billion dollars billion. No, so
we know there are other groups other than the Remington group that Ryan Reynolds is
involved in. And one of the other groups, and we're hearing a half
dozen of other groups, is a group California headed up by Nico Sparks,
who is a rich man. He's a film filmmaker and part of his group
Snoop dot Dot. He hear's Snoop on first take on ESPN was this yesterday.
This is from this morning. Snoop talking about his interest in the NHL
and the Ottawa Senators. Well, you know, I've been watching hockey for
about twenty five years now and I'm watching more and more you know, keys
that look like me play the game. But I'm not saying it being offered
to the keys over here in America. Know how big it is in Canada.
And I've been you know, down with the NHL for a long time,
going to games, announcing games, being a part of the society.
So this opportunity came in order to for me to like be a part of
the ownership of the Ottawa Senators. So I jumped on it. And then
the plan that we have is to also go and build a Snoop youth hockey
league outside of Canada, so kids and urban communities can learn about hockey,
can play the sport, and find ways to get into this you know,
great thing that's called hockey, because right now the NBA and the NHL is
having some great playoff games and the kids need to know that there is an
option to play hockey if you look like me. That guy is as smart
as can be. And you look at the not just music, but businesses
outside of music. Everything he touches is successful. Look if NiCoT Sparks bid
isn't successful. What he said there, the Snoop Youth Hockey League, Yep,
I'm Bettman, Yep, I'm jumping all over all over that, all
over the whether. You know, maybe they'd be hard feelings if they didn't
get the didn't have a successful bid. But and look and people who might
not know this, and where's this coming from. Snoop's kids played, and
he was at Anaheim Ducks games on LA Kings on a regular basis. La
Kings. We did some play by play for the La Kings. As a
matter of fact, his interest is sincere. He's done video game work for
the NHL. He's done a ton for the NHL. It's important to have
guys like that because hockey isn't hitting mainstream USA, you know. And they
got up on the open jossibility of another market opening up. Absolutely. The
one thing I find interesting is Freedman is reported that Ryan Reynolds might move to
the winning bid right of the sense, like even though he's with a certain
group right now, to be the face I wonder if the same thing might
happen now with Snoop. Does the winning bid call him and ask him to
be part of their bid even if it's not with the original bid he's trying
to go in with. But would you accept that? I don't know.
And beyond that, I'll say it again if his interest is sincere, but
that stoop Youth Hockey League again completely different, Like go for it. Somebody
the NHS should call him today after hearing that, Like that should be that
should be the league trying to work something out with him right now, even
if that, even if something with the sense doesn't work out, that should
be something. I mean, he's really good with what he's saying, you
know, like when he especially with the ending there people that look like him.
Yeah. If he goes to Ottawa, Triumpkin's not gonna sign there.
Yeah. Somebody bench mentioned that Cheech and Chunks. That was Big Roy from
Surrey and or Delanney's okay, you are going to give him. I was
gonna give him credit line. It was a good line. If Snoop goes
to Ottawa Trumpkintaw, Yeah, image of the pregame festivities, he doesn't like
that. Never happens in Vancouver. Tims Z next Donnie and Delhi. The

four. The legendary Canadian musician passed at a Toronto hospital on Monday. Cause
of death at this point last time I checked, Ryan not made available.
Gordon Lightfoot was from a really Ontario rose to fame in the yearly sixties after
he moved to Toronto. His sixty five debut album Lightfoot included Early Morning rain
Who Hasn't Heard That? If You're Canadian? Number one hit for in and
Sylvia Tyson. Gordon made his first appearance on the Billboard charts with nineteen seventy
ones If you could read My Mind, I could list off all these songs.
We've all heard them. He topped the Billboard Top one hundred. Nineteen
seventy four was Sundown. Other songs of his that topped various charts If you
could read My Mind, care Free Highway. I mentioned If you could Read
My Mind earlier, care Free Highway, Rainy d People, and my favorite
one of the greatest songs of all time, The Wreck of the Edmund FitzGeralds
and oh yeah, by the way, Gordon Lightfoot a huge hockey fan,
huge lame stroll it up over the bright line in Saturday night was always hockey
night and we rarely ever missed it. And we didn't have TV until I
was fourteen years old, so every every all of my osmosis took place by
listening to hockey played on the radio. It was thrilling, it was you
could all you can visualize. The game was blown a long path. We
cleared ranks and played in the Lake Kuchacha. And I also had a rink
in the backyard at our house that I used to tend to. We we
would flood the whole backyard and that was the ring. And my sister also
figure skated, so she would practice figure skating very little room. I mentioned
him passing at the age of forty four. He was touring like in his
seventies, in his eighties, and Bob Dylan, this is the kind of
respect that he held. Bob Dylan is the person who inducted him. He
was in a lot of Hall of Fames, but into the Canadian Music Hall

the top four top four songs right now in the US it tunes charts all
belong to Gordon Lightfoot. So of the top ten, he's got one,
two, three, four right now, including the Wreck of the aed Menthis
Child, which you and I have argued about a lot. Yeah, I
mean, but kidding aside that there's storytelling. The storytelling in that song is
incredible, It's insane, and I mean all that's when you have Bob Dylan
is one of your biggest admirers. That says a time that among among us,
right, But I mean, that's the time I saw Billy Joel this
morning posted a video on his Instagram account where he was if he was He
was at his piano in his house playing if You Could Read My Mind,
and he was talking about how Neil, Neil Young, any any any of
the big Canadians, Joni Mitchell, they all revered him. Yeah, one
of the great songwriters of our time. And he was scheduled you talking about
touring done. He was scheduled to tour this year. Wow. And it
was like a few months back that they canceled that, and a lot of
people at that point were like, oh, that's not great. Do you

am fascinated by those speakers. Look at the speakers. Eh, unbelievable.
That's one heck of a man cave. You know, guitars, stereos,
speakers, the whole nine yards. Back in the day, that was the
proof of manhood. Oh if you speakers like that, The bigger the better,
the bigger the heavier, the better the speakers. I tell you,
Donny, that brings back memories, those speakers. And there's the hat,
Donny and Dolly hat. Can you zoom in a bit more? Zoom in

I don't think you know matters what weight it is. But thanks Preston.
That's a beautiful belt. It's a championship belt because it's a Donny and Dolly.
Thank you so much, Preston. Yeah, Preston, thank you very
much. We'll have to do something about that. That's you know, I'm
guessing that's photoshops. Okay, yeah, maybe you know somewhere down the line
if the boss is a checker listening. Yeah, is it just me?
Unsigned I had to play some Zeppelin to get Echo Beach out of my head.
No mention of Chris de Burgh here, shocking christ Burgh? Yeah,
news Nick? Is it just me? Or is it hilarious? Fans think
you have to cheer for the Leafs or Orders because you're Canadian. They didn't
cheer for the Canocks at twenty eleven. I'm cheering for a great hockey again.
That's from US two games tonight. There's two parts of me. I
do want a Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup. It's been too long
nineteen ninety three. The Halves did it over the Kings last time. Come
on, man, let's get going. Get that cup back in the rightful
country. I heard today? Is it just me? I heard today?
The first game in Seattle, nosebleed seats Donnie two eighty four, that's Robin
Victoria two eighty four for the cheapest seat in Seattle for the next round in
the playoffs. And we understand that the secondary market from our friend Ian Fernas
is just exploding. It's exploding. Seattle is love and hockey right now,
right now, the Mariners are not on the front page. The sports page
is, Donny, it's the crime. Don't forget Seattle and cant Loops as
well. Yes, in the Western Hawkeleague in that building and can't understand has
been sold up packed on the weekend as well. Uh, Seattle's up to
zip. Yes they are Dave in Vancouver. This is good? Is it
just me? But it tells tells sign If the Trupa hit was clean,
what was the devil's reaction now? One player even went to talk to Truba.
Awesome, clean hit. Keep your head up. You're taught that from
when you start playing. I'm usually a fan of hits like that, but
that's thought the principal point of contact. What it was, It was the
it was but he crunched down middle of the ice, head down, and
you got the best open ice hit or in the NHL right now. Great
point by Da though, when Truba's out there, you got to be aware
of the fact he's out there. Look at this one, Donnie, Is
it just mirror? Would it not be amazing if the Hurricanes wore the Whalers
gear and jersey wore throwbacks for the second round series. You know, and
you know who would be a fan of that? Our guests from earlier today.
I don't know. I don't know what the reason for it is,
but Eric Francis is fascinated with the Hartford Whalers and their logo. Yeah,
it's all over is beautiful, utiful, arguably one of the best, well
not arguably why I'm saying, there's no argument one of the best sports logos
ever. Donny, I remember going to the call seem the Canucks and the
heart for Whalers. It was a big deal. He used to kiss me
off. He used to piss me off because the Canucks gave up on that
blue and green color scheme. I've learned to appreciate the black, red and
yellow a little bit more. But at the time they would come into town,
I'm thinking the Canucks used to have that colors. They had it.
It's darn, darn good. Of course, the Whalers also had Cooper Rolls.
That's a matter for another day. Okay, we're gonna take a break.
We're gonna wrap up the show. The poll question some more, as
it just means next Donnie telling me the team on Check. Hey everyone,

of the top teams in the Western Conference, and followed by the Panthers and
Leafs. So the Canadian teams ruling the day on this poll question. Surprisingly,
in the last hour, Devils and Hurricanes have surpassed Cracking and Stars,
even though Seattle is involved there two feet away, Chris Craig Button agrees with
a lot of people, says don't don't fall fall asleep on the stars stars,
They don't. They don't get a whole lot of an autumn trench and
up. Tom Glardie would agree with they got the best rupe in the NHL.
