watching it? Because it's on TV where

4
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.679
Don Taylor cucumber is the worst vegetable
out there, no lasting power, no

5
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.559
staying power, and Rick Dully Wall

00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.600
Henderson is our producer. He's the
man at the controls, our director.

10
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.560
The voice of God is Derek Juan. How are you? Oh? It

11
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.679
couldn't be better. Let's get right
into it. He round to the Stanley

12
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.560
Cup playoffs starts tonight. That's going
to be the focus of our poll question.

13
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:03.320
But I want to focus on last
night Devil's eliminating the Rangers final score

14
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.200
Game seven for nothing. But we
want to talk about the Jacob Truba hit

15
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.959
on Timo Meyer. Let's take a
look at it if you don't mind,

16
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:19.560
Derek and Ryan here it is third
period scored two nothing new Jersey, no

17
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.239
penalty, and as of right now, no suspension. There's no hearing or

18
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.159
anything like that. It's not going
to happen. What did you think,

19
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:32.319
Oh boy, you got your head
down. You're traveling in the middle of

20
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:37.000
the ice. You should be aware
that one of the biggest open ice hitters

21
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.560
in the NHL is out there and
boom right there, Donnie, I'm sorry,

22
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.920
I I there's not dirty. You
know, he had his head down,

23
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.640
he was in the middle of the
ice. What's the principal point of

24
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.120
contact? Yeah, it is,
but he's also low. Why I'm asking,

25
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:53.879
what's the principal point of contact.
It's not the head, It is

26
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.840
the head, okay, but watch
watch it's his shoulder though, watch shoulder.

27
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.680
Yeah yeah, right there, hits
him in the head. But he

28
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.799
walked right in. So somebody has
their head down into it. If somebody

29
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.439
has their head down, it's okay
to hit them in the head. No,

30
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.719
it's not. And maybe the should
be suspended. Yeah, maybe the

31
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.759
NHL should change the rule. But
I have to say, in Truba's defense,

32
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.120
he lined them up. He got
caught in the railway tracks and boom.

33
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:27.960
You brought up the philip Heronic hit
with Reeves when and it's kind of

34
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.919
like the same thing. You know, head down you got caught in the

35
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:35.439
railway tracks and boom. Well,
there's a lot of hits that this one

36
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:42.080
reminds me of one. Obviously,
Scott Stevens on TERKLNDVUSS different era. We

37
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.639
moved forward a little bit, uh, Steve Moore on Marcus Nasland. That's

38
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.560
it head down and people in Vancouver
went crazy over that one, and obviously

39
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.840
so did the Canucks. We know
what happened in the aftermath. I thought,

40
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.240
at the very least, that's a
penalty appenalty. There wasn't even a

41
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.120
penalty. But you don't think you
disagree there was no penalty. As far

42
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.280
as we know this morning, the
NHL has not contacted TRUEBA with the Rangers

43
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.479
and said you got a meeting,
Nothing has happened. I think they viewed

44
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.560
it as a clean hit. Doney. Yeah. I just think when you

45
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.080
talk so much about the concussion issue, yes, and the principal point of

46
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:20.120
contact, it can't be the head. I thought that was that was textbook

47
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.400
and I know it's Jacob Trubble,
You're right. You can't have your head

48
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.000
down. You have to be aware
of who's on the ice that doesn't have

49
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.479
something to be That doesn't mean somebody
can hit in the head. And you

50
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.199
look over in Europe and I think
this is the case in the K and

51
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.439
I understand that. You know,
maybe they shouldn't be the people that set

52
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.919
the standard over in the K.
But in other parts of you you hit

53
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.159
someone in the head, it's it's
a penalty. It doesn't matter if it's

54
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.039
accidental or whatever the case may be, or on purpose. I think at

55
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.919
the very least that comes under the
that comes into the category of reckless and

56
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:59.879
I thought it should have been penalized
and maybe even maybe even a suspension,

57
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.960
especially given a Troupers. I don't
know about his suspension history, but his

58
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.240
reputation, well, his reputation,
he's been suspended many times. But I'm

59
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.800
gonna tell you, you gotta know
that he's out there, Donny, as

60
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.840
I told you, agree, you
gotta know that doesn't mean it's okay for

61
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:17.839
him to you know, hit someone
in the head. But he's also a

62
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.199
smaller player and Trupa is a bigger
player, and he had his head down

63
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.759
and he just ran in. I
don't know how small a Timo Myers that

64
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:30.480
I will say. I will say
this though, that in the handshake line,

65
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.279
yes, they were okay with each
and Troupa said are you okay?

66
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.199
And he said yeah. I think
I think Timo Myers said, probably says

67
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:41.120
something to they're tough guys, and
player says something to the effect of I

68
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.360
probably should have had my head up. Ye. I agree, But I

69
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.240
just wonder what your reaction would be, and and everybody out there who disagrees

70
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:53.600
with me, what your reaction would
be if it was a Canuck that happened

71
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.079
to a Cad like it did.
But Marcus Naslin Canucks. Twitter would have

72
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:01.439
gone nuts last night if that was
a Canuck player. Again, the Devil's

73
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:08.600
win in seven, So round two
and off the Devil's goum to take on

74
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:13.680
the Hurricanes, or as I have
written here, the Oilers. The Devil's

75
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.240
going to take the Hurricanes this second
round doesn't really excite me at all.

76
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.800
For one thing, that matchup.
I'm a uniform guy, way too much

77
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:25.199
red and black in that in that
man. That's not a glamorous that's just

78
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:30.680
me. I mean it's interesting the
team that most recently won the Stanley Cup

79
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.959
of the final eight teams or the
Hurricanes way back in six three. The

80
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:39.160
teams have never won the Stanley Cup
never, so it's interesting from that point

81
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.920
of view. But a lot of
the big dogs are out the Rangers,

82
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.519
Kings, I'm talking about big markets, ruins, historic markets. If you

83
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.040
want to talk about teams that didn't
make the playoffs, the Blackhawks out there,

84
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:53.959
it's it's not a sexy final age
if you want to call it a

85
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:59.000
final eight eight eight and Donnie five
one hundred point plus teams out in round

86
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.160
one, it's it's a tough rocket. And as we wait for the Canucks

87
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.360
to make the playoffs, and just
getting a hundred points and getting in does

88
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:10.279
not guarantee you're off to round two. Yeah, but hats off to the

89
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.839
Devils. They lose five one in
game both games one and two, they

90
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.959
rebound the secure Schmidt shout out game
seven. He looks really, really good.

91
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.480
Never heard of the guy in my
life, to be honest with you,

92
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.319
sure, but goaltenders coming out of
nowhere in the playoffs, never heard

93
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.879
of him. Sometimes that that works
and he looks really good. Great glove

94
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:36.079
hand on display yesterday. So what
are we hearing about Gerard Glant that his

95
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:40.120
job after two years in New York
might be in jeopardy. A lot of

96
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.480
people are I got a lot of
Texas morning saying Glant could be in trouble

97
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.600
in New York. They made the
conference final last year, I know.

98
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.480
And they're up to nothing against Tampa, and they blew it up to nothing

99
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.839
against the Devils. They blew at
Donnie one hundred points last year, one

100
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.120
hundred points this year. Eastern Conference
Final. But this is the pressure of

101
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.319
a big market New York. The
fans last night will rip in the hell

102
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.600
out of Galant. But was it
Gerard Gallant's fault that or Tammy Panarin got

103
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:09.600
two assists seven games dot one assist
one point five on five? Was it

104
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:14.600
his fault that Alex Lefrenier, a
former first overall picks your point seven games?

105
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:16.680
Was it his? Was it his
fault? All these guys underproduced?

106
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:21.399
Man, he don't know. Look
he looks all the you know, attention

107
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:26.560
on him, the lottery balls,
all of that. He looks ordinary.

108
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.240
Yeah, like he's in the National
Hockey League. He's a tremendous athlete.

109
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.879
I get that, but it just
I think it. We're safe to say

110
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:38.839
he hasn't lived up the expectation.
So if it he just looks like solid

111
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.000
player, that's it on paper.
The Rangers runbelieve, but they can't get

112
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.519
that. They couldn't get out of
round one, Crieder on the ice for

113
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.439
all four goals last night, Donny, yeah, you can't help although he

114
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.199
over the course of the series,
Yeah, he was very good. Has

115
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:54.519
been a JAD one goal. Come
on, Yeah, these guys got to

116
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.839
produce. But now it looks like
jag glance jobs that Jeopardy and we're hearing

117
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.120
the name Joel Quinville. Quinville.
He comes with a few words. He

118
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.199
hasn't he hasn't been cleared by the
NHL, and stand Bowman's names popping around

119
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.560
with the Penguins, but his he
hasn't been cleared by the NHL. So

120
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.720
keep an eye on those two things. So round two starts. Uh,

121
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:16.600
tonight, let's go with the bet
ninety nine dot Net poll question. We

122
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.480
want to get it out of the
way that we don't want to dismiss it

123
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.639
here, but we have three guests
today, so it's a jab pack show

124
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.319
as always. BET ninety nine dot
net pole question every game begins at bet

125
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.360
ninety nine dot net. Oh boy
does it ever? Our bet ninety nine

126
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.720
dot net poll question, what second
round series are you the most interested in?

127
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:39.519
And leading the way? The Oilers
and the Golden Knights forty five percent,

128
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.039
and then come the Panthers and the
Maple Leafs well at forty percent.

129
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.840
Um. So there you go,
the two Canadian teams, no surprise.

130
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.720
And look, you know, I
know everyone's picking Edmonton, Donny, but

131
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:52.840
the Golden Knights were the top team
in the Western Conference. I mean they

132
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.799
did, you know, they were
number one in the Western Conference. Not

133
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:58.240
by much, but they were and
they got home ice here. So we'll

134
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:03.360
see how that a series pans out. But it's Edmonton in Vegas. You

135
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.600
wonder about the goaltending with the gold
Knights, but they have they have advanced.

136
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.960
Do you wonder where the goaltending with
the Oilers up and down a round

137
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.320
one against the Kings up and out? But that that that's gonna be a

138
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.000
real intriguing series, if for no
other reason that Connor McDavid and Leon Dreisidle

139
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.080
are are involved. And you got
Jack Eikel in there as well. That

140
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:26.120
the Eikel McDavid twenty fifteen draft match
it. So yeah, I would agree

141
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.440
with that. And there you see
Devils and Hurricanes pulling up the rear.

142
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:35.279
Obviously a lot of people not liking
all the black and red in that series.

143
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.240
I'm sure that was the deciding factor
for a lot of people. Let

144
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.480
me say this, Panthers in Leafs
tonight. Say what you want about the

145
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.440
Leaves. They bring a certain edge, uh you know to a matchup like

146
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.600
this for the rest of the country
either love them or you hate them.

147
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.320
Now you get a lot of this
right now, not a lot, but

148
00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:00.000
some certainly. Yeah. Well,
Panthers, they took out the Bruins,

149
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:05.720
second largest upset in National Hockey League
history, playoff upset and National Hockey League

150
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.600
history, so surely they can take
care of the Toronto Maple Leafs. So

151
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:15.799
I hearkened back to nineteen eighty two. Whoa, whoa, the biggest upset

152
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.200
in National Hockeyeague playoff history, Thank
you, Ryan, biggest upset in National

153
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:26.200
Hockey League history, Kings over the
Oilers. There was a forty eight point

154
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.200
difference during the regular season between those
two teams, Panthers and Bruins of forty

155
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:37.480
three point difference. One of the
differences that series compared to this series is

156
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.799
that that was the best of five
best so a little bit different. So

157
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.039
you assume that if the Kings back
in the day I'm going back again here,

158
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.159
Ryan, that back in the day
eighty two, the Kings would have

159
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.960
no problem with the Canucks, who
I think finished what fourteen fifteen points ahead

160
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.080
of the King's way back then.
So you know, the Kings knock off.

161
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.039
The other is, surely they can
knock off the van Canucks. Beat

162
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.600
him in five, beat him in
five? Right? I think it were

163
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.960
like I think four of the games
were one and then that that ended up

164
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.440
being a best of seven series,
different playoffs format back then, four of

165
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:16.039
the five games ended up with one
goal of results. But the bottom line

166
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.399
is the Canucks took out the Kings, who took out the mighty Oilers who

167
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.039
hadn't learned to win it at that
time season at that time, and I

168
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.120
remember Terry Jones and the Edmonton Sun
called the Oilers weak, kneed whimps,

169
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.639
something to that effect, and they
were at that early stages. But then

170
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.679
the Canucks going beat the Kings,
and everybody that thinks the Maple leaves are

171
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.919
gonna walk over the panthers. Your
example is exactly why or the other way

172
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.720
around, the panthers walking over the
maples. Yeah, just a dozen work

173
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.039
that way and you have this some
great emotional moment, you know with the

174
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.919
Kings. They beat the Oilers and
for them that was like it was like

175
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.320
it was huge. It was like
their Stanley Cup. And here's the other

176
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.639
subject that comes up when it comes
to that eighty two series. That miracle

177
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.960
on Manchester with Daryl Evans scrowing the
Overton gole. That wasn't the final game.

178
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.200
That wasn't the deciding game. That
was Game three. Kings lost the

179
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.600
next game, than won the next, the deciding game, the fifth and

180
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.360
deciding game that we're talking about,
the game where they had the five nothing

181
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.080
lead, right right, That was
that. That wasn't that series clincher.

182
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.399
I think a lot of people assume
it was the series clincher. So if

183
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.639
you think that Florida beats Boston means
that Florida is going to beat Toronto.

184
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.600
No, I hearkened back to nineteen
eighty two, right, Ryan gam How

185
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.440
are you? I know you love
those history lessons? No, he doesn't.

186
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.519
Whatever you want to talk about that's
fine anything in the eighties. He

187
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.399
hates Ryan's upset because I rejected his
poll question. I'm not no, I'm

188
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.440
gonna do it every day, you
know, I'm not at all. I'm

189
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.720
never gonna stop you from going down
memory lane because I'll have more gray hair

190
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.600
than what I currently have. Well, I'm the eighty two Canucks run was

191
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.480
the best Canucks run, you know. For me, eighty two is a

192
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.480
special heart for me and it always
will be. Well. It was in

193
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.039
the eighties, It was in the
eighties, but it was such. It

194
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.200
wasn't the I don't think it was
the best run because but when it came

195
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.399
to the end, you knew they
weren't going to beat the Islands. Nobody's

196
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.759
true. Nobody was beating the Islanders. The Islanders were the best, you

197
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.559
kids though there The Islanders were easily
the best team in the league way back.

198
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.240
But Donny, but it galvanized the
city everything with the towel power.

199
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.080
It was great. Little Ricky was
I had my badges, all the stuff,

200
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:30.279
you know, as a fan,
it was the city was on fire.

201
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:35.279
Yeah, But they had a chance
in ninety four against the Rangers,

202
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.399
and they had a chance and did
they ever were? And here if it

203
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.080
was so great? Rick? Eighty
two, why was there no riot?

204
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:46.000
Okay, I'll come okay, but
game one overtime, no answer, and

205
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.679
Harold snaps, I'll never forgive you
ever in my life. It gives it

206
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.200
to my boss in overtime. Ever, one bad moment for Harold. I

207
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.879
think he did just find Is it
safe to say like each run was different?

208
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.720
Yeah? Eighty two then they were
different years. But in eighty two

209
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.879
the Canucks were they they performed better, better than they should have. Yeah,

210
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:09.919
that came out, That came out
of nowhere, probably more than the

211
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:15.799
other two. And then ninety four
they struggled. They should there were seventh

212
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.720
seat, but they should have been
higher, right, Yeah, and then

213
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.039
in twenty eleven they were by far
they should have been there. If you

214
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.159
want to, you know, you
know, cry yourself to sleep tonight,

215
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.240
folks, if you're a knack fan
show, Yeah, well there's that.

216
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.000
But take a look at those stats
from twenty ten twenty eleven, not just

217
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.399
the overall standings. Canucks won the
President's Trophy, but everything goals, four

218
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:43.679
goals against, power play, everything
power played, all the significant stats.

219
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.840
Canucks were number one or number two, and then they end up blowing the

220
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:54.480
two nothing series lead, losing Game
seven and and a riot afterwards. Did

221
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:00.200
you do you want to talk about
um? Jonathan Kara talked to I to

222
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.679
Lacara Mackey, good kid in Sweden
today. We later running out of town.

223
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.159
So Rick has talked with Jonathan Lacara
Mackie, Like, gosh, I

224
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.879
wish I could have heard that conversation. It was quick. I'll tell you

225
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.159
this much. It was two second
answers. It was the quickest call I've

226
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.960
made my life. But he's a
good kid, kay, That's all I

227
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.679
wanted to know. Is he a
good guy? You say, good guy,

228
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:24.440
good good kid. You're not going
to find a better kid. You

229
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.200
also have an update on Cammy Grenado, so we'll say that. We'll say

230
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.120
that for later you Vancouver hockey fans

231

the World Under eighteen Hockey Championships in
Switzerland. Canada ends up with the bronze.

235
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.399
We'll talk with Greig about that and
about the Downley Cup playoffs. Big

236
00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:00.879
Rye. That quit a guy this
hour at Chris Hebb CEO now of the

237

the BC Hockey League. We'll talk to

238
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:11.240
Chris about that. Not everybody's a
fantasy, you know. I talked to

239
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:14.559
a lot of people in hockey yesterday
and not everyone's happy with what the BC

240
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.759
Hockey League's doing. Over Jonathan L. Karamacki's thoughts on it. Do we

we get to Eric Delaney's okay, tiring

257
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.839
Langley inbox NBI raj guys. I
used to cheer those hits when I was

258
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:48.039
young. Now as a parent,
I gasp, absolutely changes everything when you're

259
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.799
a parent minor hockey. So now
you agree with me? No, I

260
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:53.240
don't. I still't think he had
his head down the middle of the ice.

261
00:17:53.279 --> 00:18:00.480
And I'm sorry, mister Truber,
said boom. Eric Francis joining us

262
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.160
now from Calgary works for Sportsnet.
Eric, thanks for doing this, sir.

263
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.599
How are you hi, maxellent boys? How are you very good?

264
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.559
Very good? All sorts of things
going on in Calgary, of course,

265
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:17.359
Eric no playoffs. But but the
new building and the Flames looking for a

266
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.799
new coach. Do you understand why
the Flames let go of Darrel Cutter?

267
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.440
Oh yeah, it was painfully obvious
as someone who's with the team every day.

268
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:33.079
The culture was poisoned under Darryl Cutter. It was just somebody described as

269
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.000
a black cloud that hovered over this
team for the last little while. And

270
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:40.519
it's a players did not enjoy going
to the rink. You're not allowed to

271
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:45.599
celebrate the wins. The losses were
unbearable. It was it was just a

272
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:48.680
culture that guys didn't want to be
a part of it. I think in

273
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.039
exit meetings we started seeing players voice
that, saying that, yeah, I'm

274
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.400
going to move moving on. At
the end of my next confute, one

275
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.960
of my contract engine that mass exodus
was coming, and I think the organization

276
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.640
saw that, and hey, I
think all you need to know about the

277
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:08.039
culture that this organization under Daryl Sutter
is the fact that the GM left.

278
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:11.920
He just walked away, just decided, you know what, this situation is

279
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.559
not tenable for me anymore. I'm
out of here. And it was him

280
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.920
falling on the sword that opened up
the door for them. To fire the

281
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.319
coach. Unfortunately into it two weeks
earlier, because then maybe Tree Living would

282
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:26.319
still be here. But at the
end of the day, you know,

283
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.920
they got rid of the coach and
that was the problem with this organization for

284
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.799
the last couple of years. Okay, Eric, but let's turn back the

285
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:37.279
clock at twelve March, or turned
the calendar back. Comparisons mixed up there.

286
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:42.480
Twelve months Jack Adams award to year
contract extension that hasn't even kicked in

287
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:48.279
yet. What changed? What changed? Uh? You know, Well,

288
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:55.519
Don Maloney's talked yesterday about the shelf
life you know, of hard ass coaches

289
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:57.079
generally speaking, you know, and
he said they all have a short shelf

290
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.519
life. And we've we've heard that
forever. That's to me, it's almost

291
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.640
a little cliche. We'd say that
about Mike Keenan, we'd say it about

292
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.960
Darryl Sutter. You know, eventually
these guys tuned coaches out. Well,

293
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.960
we know eventually every coach gets tuned
out at some point in time. And

294
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.319
it's funny that you say turned back
the clock twelve months, because like twelve

295
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:21.039
months ago to almost today, Calgary
Flames opened. They won the first round

296
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:25.119
against Dallas and dramatic fashion. Then
they go to play the Edmonton Oilers,

297
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:29.279
the whole provinces in a tizzy.
Flames win nine six in the first game.

298
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:30.759
Oh my god, this isn't this
great? Darryl Sutter coach in the

299
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:34.559
year, This is amazing. And
then from that point on it's just been

300
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:38.000
an absolute catastrophe of the Calgary players. They lost four to rod of the

301
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:42.400
Oilers. Jacob Marksham never recovered from
that series. Had a horrible year this

302
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:47.119
year, which was a large reason
why they couldn't make the playoffs this year.

303
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.480
All sorts of players had terrible years, and I really do think it

304
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:53.960
has everything to do with the culture. These guys were not having fun at

305
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:57.559
the rink. They weren't They didn't
feel respected, they didn't feel that they

306
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:02.440
retreated fairly, and today's athlete doesn't
put up with that. I thought it

307
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.079
was fascinating. Guys. I don't
know if this struck you and or if

308
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:08.240
you even watch the press. Do
you guys even watch the Calgary gong?

309
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:11.599
So I guess when it's a tire
fire, everybody likes to watch it.

310
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.559
But we've got our we We've got
our own tire fire here in Vancouver.

311
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.640
We haven't got time for the Calgary. It's been eleven years. Only so

312
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.559
much time. Okay, fair enough, there's always so many fires we can

313
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:27.480
watch. But Maloney said, and
I thought this was really interesting. Ten

314
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:32.720
years ago, athletes and their exit
meetings wouldn't have said Booth. Even if

315
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:34.599
they hated the coach the manager,
doesn't matter. You say, hey had

316
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:37.759
a great ear boys, looking forward
to see you the next year. I'll

317
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.599
be better next year. But that
doesn't happen anymore. Today's athletes are gonna

318
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:44.440
just be honest with you and tell
you, look, I hated this,

319
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:48.119
I hated that. And they were
opened up and they absolutely unloaded on Darryl

320
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.319
Sutter and the exit meeting. And
I think it's fascinating and appropriate that the

321
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:57.240
organization listened to the players. And
also Don Maloney said they listened to agents.

322
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:02.359
And some people might say, well, that's ridiculous. But when an

323
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:06.279
organization gets a reputation around the league
because agent's all talk and they had a

324
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:08.640
position all their different players all over
the place, if the reputation is that

325
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:11.480
Cadger is no fun to play out, my clients are there and they hate

326
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.559
it, that is important too.
So good on for doing all their due

327
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:19.640
diligence and making the right move.
Eric, Huberto and Caudrey. They come

328
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:25.559
in, their point production goes way
down. Huberto's agent tweets out, you

329
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.519
know what's going on, talk about
those two and how tough of a time

330
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:33.599
they had under Daryl. Yeah,
Huberto came out yesterday right after Sutter was

331
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.640
fired and kind of unloaded on Sutter
a little bit, just saying, you

332
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:40.599
know what, like he had me
on the wrong wing. I mean,

333
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:42.240
this was a guy who just had
one hundred and fifteen points the year earlier,

334
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:45.640
second in the league, and the
coach wants to move them to the

335
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.480
other side of the ice for the
first time in his career. It just

336
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:52.200
it didn't. They didn't jive with
one another from the start. The style

337
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.119
of play was much different, And
I think a lot of that's on Huberto

338
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:59.599
too, Like he came from Florida, where it's basically shinny hockey, and

339
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.799
him to Calgary where it's a very
structured system. That's a huge adjustment for

340
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:06.960
a player to make, and Huberto
just wasn't able to make it. Now,

341
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.599
is it the coach's fault or was
the coach not handling him properly.

342
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:15.119
There was an incident, guys.
I don't know if you remember this where

343
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.000
Huberto left the bench in the middle
of a period. At one point we

344
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.160
asked after the game what happened,
and Darryl Sutter said, and I'll paraphrase,

345
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.079
I think he might have gone.
He might have gone to take a

346
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.000
crap. It was a soul,
yeah, you know, and I think

347
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.119
he was trying to be funny,
but I can tell you it went over

348
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.440
like a lead balloon in that room. Mabel thought it was really really disrespectful

349
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:42.240
to Huberto and almost a slam on
him. And that's the sort of make

350
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:47.160
this coach was all about sending messages, and those guys saw that as a

351
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:48.880
message and they didn't like it at
all, and as a group, that

352
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:52.440
was kind of one of the turning
points for them. All Right, look

353
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.599
ahead, you're looking for a new
general manager, you're looking for a new

354
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:03.359
head coach. Give us some names
who they talking to. Well, you've

355
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:06.000
got a lot of internal candidates,
but I don't know if they're you know,

356
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:08.200
they were really crowing yesterday about the
fact that they've got a chance for

357
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:11.240
a fresh start. And if you
really do want a fresh, clean start

358
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.119
with a new GM and a new
coach. You may not be looking internally.

359
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.559
I don't know. Craig Conroy is
the people's choice for the general manager's

360
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:23.920
job. Done everything as an assistant
GM they've ever asked for, and the

361
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.920
people here love him. Is he
ready to be the GM? I think

362
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:32.400
he would be, but that's he
probably heads the list. Brod Pasco is

363
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:36.559
another assistant general manager here, has
done a great job with the minor hockey

364
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:40.640
team here with the HL affiliate.
You know, we could look around the

365
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:45.279
league. Mike Food, Sean Burke, Brennan Burke. I can give you

366
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.880
a list of guys, but at
the end of the day, it's not

367
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:52.920
really appropriate for you give me to
give you a list of coaches because good

368
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:57.720
on the Flames, they're giving this
job to the whatever GM gets the job

369
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:02.079
and says, now it's his decision
who's going to be the head coach.

370
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:04.319
So the internal guys will get looked
at, But if a brand new guy

371
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:07.599
comes in here, I'm not sure
the journal guys will get much of a

372
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:10.359
look at all. And there's some
great candidates in house here. As a

373
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:14.680
matter of fact, I'd say three
the top ten guys around the league are

374
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:18.559
right here in Calgary. Mitch Love, he's been running the Flames HL affiliate.

375
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:21.720
He's been coach of the Year both
years he's been in the HL.

376
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.519
That's pretty good, you know.
Kirk Muller, I don't need to explain

377
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.039
his resume to you. And of
course Ryan Husko has done some great things

378
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.319
at all different levels too. He's
an assistant here. So I don't know,

379
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:37.359
guys, but they're doing it right. They're putting the horse before the

380
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.160
cart, and they're going to find
a GM who gets to make that decision

381
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.119
very quickly. Eric, before we
talk about the building as we wrap things

382
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.599
up here. But is it Hartford
Flames fans to watch what Matthew Kachuck is

383
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.839
up to you right now? Yeah? It certainly was not. It did

384
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:57.240
not go unnoticed that the game winning
goal that Florida scored the other night,

385
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:02.960
there was Sam Bench, there was
Matthew Goodchuck right there on the goal,

386
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.079
right on the doorstep, putting the
fucking the net. Yeah, people in

387
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:11.119
this city will always watch Matthew Kotchuck
very closely. People love that guy,

388
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:17.839
even though he exited wanted out.
People appreciate the fact that he did it

389
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:19.720
the right way, unlike Johnny Coudroew
in their mind, a lot of people

390
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:22.880
didn't like the way Johnny Codroew left
it to the eleventh hour and kind of

391
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.799
toyed with the planes. In their
opinion, Matthew was up Matthew was up

392
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.920
front, set guys, I'm not
signing an extension next year. You might

393
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:33.200
want to get rid of me now. So they did. People love that

394
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.160
guy. I can't believe that he
had an even better year this year than

395
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.559
he had the year before with Johnny
Goodrow on one wing and Elias Linholm in

396
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.680
the middle, but he was even
better this year. And the knock on

397
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.400
him in Calgary was that he's not
a big game player. He's not going

398
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.839
to come through in the playoffs.
While boy, we're seeing that he was

399
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.880
the best player in that series in
my opinion, and also remember he scored

400
00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:59.839
the game winning goal in overtime to
win the Memorial Cups. So I begged

401
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:02.640
it for that. He's not a
big game player. He is going to

402
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:07.160
be the focal point of this series
against Toronto. Mark my words. Keep

403
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:10.400
in mind, Eric, when we
talk about tire fires in Vancouver, that

404
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:15.400
the Canucks passed up and Matthew Kuldchuck
twenty sixteen draft and took you only Levy

405
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.079
instead the arena very quickly. What's
it going to do for the Flames.

406
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:21.759
I don't know what the timeline is
yet. What's it going to do for

407
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:25.160
the flames? What's it going to
do for the city. Well, it's

408
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:29.039
huge. Now. The problem is, guys, it's all pending an election,

409
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:32.119
right, This was an election promise
and we're have an election at the

410
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:36.240
end of this month that if the
UCP doesn't get in, that arena deal

411
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:40.279
will probably be scuttled pretty quickly by
the NDP. So if people in Calgary

412
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:44.039
are hockey fans, at their sports
fans, at their concert goers, they

413
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:45.640
know where they have to vote in
this upcoming election. It was a very

414
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.839
savvy move by Danielle Smith in that
regard. This city needs it. It's

415
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:56.279
a world class city and it deserves
a world class venue. It houses lacrosse

416
00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:02.839
and houses HL hockey and houses the
NHL. It will now house world class

417
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:04.960
concerts like you guys see, and
they wouldn't come over the Rockies to come

418
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:12.079
to Calgary because the load couldn't Our
little ruffel chip roof couldn't bear the load

419
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:15.359
of today's rock band. So at
the end of the day, it's going

420
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:22.400
to be a huge transformative building and
community in a downtown area that's quite darrel.

421
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:25.480
Like you guys have been to the
Saddle Dome, there's nothing around there.

422
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:30.079
Well, now they're going to build
an entire community around there that's gonna

423
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:34.559
tons of revenue, creates several memories
for this city. It's and it could

424
00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:38.400
also help stop the flow of players
leaving Calgary. No one's leaving, Jess

425
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:41.400
because the rink sucks. They're leaving
for a lot of reasons, but the

426
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.079
rink is just one of the many
reasons why no one would seriously consider coming

427
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.359
to the Calgary Planes. Moving forward, Okay, get back to the tire

428
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.880
fire. Thanks Eric, appreciate this, dear boys, call anytime. J

429

be the commissioner, now the CEO Chris

447
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:37.200
Hebb. Chris, thanks for doing
this. How are you, sir,

448
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.440
doing good? Donny Dolly L?
How does this move make sense for your

449
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:47.720
group? Chris, Well, it's
been a long time coming, guys.

450
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:52.079
This is not a knee jerk reaction. But the BCHL has evolved in a

451
00:30:52.160 --> 00:31:00.920
way that in some cases has been
had barriers created by what we think are

452
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:07.240
outdated regulations. So we spent time
within the system trying to create change.

453
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:12.880
The CGHL obviously wasn't willing to ask
the questions we were asking, and so

454
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:17.680
we had to ask them on our
own, and eventually it just got to

455
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:23.559
the point where we weren't getting any
responses, and so the board, in

456
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:29.599
its wisdom, has decided to leave
the system. Chris, A lot of

457
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:32.559
positives, but I also have had
a lot of people reach out to me

458
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:34.759
Chris. And then one of the
biggest concerns is the BC born players.

459
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:40.359
Okay, so you're allowed to each
team, but now you can go outside

460
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:42.599
of British Columbia in Canada and you
can go to Europe in the States and

461
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:48.640
get those young kids. You're worried
about BC players and their spots on teams

462
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.039
in the BC League. No,
Rick, that was really important to us.

463
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:56.440
We are the BCHL, and so
we've left the minimum for BC players

464
00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:00.799
on every team at five and I
will much change, okay, But but

465
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.039
the sixteen seventeen year olds, so
Chris, those are the you know,

466
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:08.079
the ones that come into your league
and get those ncuba A scholarships because right

467
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:14.200
now you're the number one league anywhere
for nc Double A scholarships. Yeah,

468
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:15.960
that's one of the things we're really
proud of, Rick. I mean,

469
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:22.079
twenty five percent of NCAA Division One
rosters right now have come through the BCHL

470
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:24.359
and we just want to do more
of that. But we want to be

471
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:29.440
able to do it for every Canadian
kid. And right now, unless you

472
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:31.519
live in BC, you have to
wait till you're eighteen to play in our

473
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:36.559
league, which to us doesn't make
any sense unless your parents are willing to

474
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:40.400
move to b C. Yeah,
it just never has made any sense.

475
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:46.599
It's it's something that we've asked about. It is something that we've lobbied against.

476
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:54.240
And now the the pathway is open
for good sixteen and seventeen year olds

477
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:57.519
who want to go to college.
And we want to have scouts in the

478
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:01.279
rink every night to come to the
BCA shell from out of province. How

479
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:08.279
are you going to get around the
affiliation with Major midget Junior b you know

480
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:14.079
obviously all the academies. How are
you going to get around that. Well,

481
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:17.359
we would obviously hope that Hockey Canada
would not punish these kids and not

482
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:22.680
let them affiliate, but that could
happen and they could see us as a

483
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:25.400
rogue league. I don't know how
a sixty one year old league that's done

484
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:30.319
what we've done would be considered rogue, but they may consider us rogue.

485
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.920
So what we will do is we
will expand our rosters and carry more players

486
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:39.279
to make sure that we're never caught
in a situation where an injury puts us,

487
00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:45.759
you know, at in jeopardy of
not having enough players. So we

488
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:50.319
hope that what happens is that Hockey
Canada and BC Hockey work with us.

489
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:53.119
We'd like to work with them.
Guys. All we're doing is leaving an

490
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:58.960
association. You know, it's it's
not the end of the world. And

491
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:02.640
at the end of the day,
this league will be operated in every way

492
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:07.880
the way it's been operated under Hockey
Canada, in some situations even better.

493
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:14.039
So we hope we can all work
together, not eligible anymore for the national

494
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:17.079
Championship? Chris, is that right? Yeah, but we already had that

495
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:23.400
done because we left the CGHL three
years ago and the Hockey Canada's response was

496
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:28.679
to not invite us to the National
Championship, which we never understand stood and

497
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:32.760
BC Hockey never understood. But you
know, there's lots going on in Hockey

498
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:37.719
Canada that, for our all intents
and purposes, doesn't make sense to us.

499
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:44.480
Probably makes sense to others in the
organization, but we just don't think

500
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:50.159
it's creating the kind of development opportunities
for college that it should in Canada.

501
00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:52.679
It sounds Chris, correct me if
I'm wrong to get there's some hard feelings

502
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:58.320
from the Hockey Canada side. I
honestly don't know, don because we can't

503
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:01.280
get a restaonse from anybody. If
somebody would sit down with us and say,

504
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:05.079
yeah, here's the situation, here's
what we would like to do,

505
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:10.800
and we hear you, but we
don't have any crosstalk whatsoever with Hockey Canada.

506
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:15.159
The caliber of playing the BCHL has
been strong for a long long time.

507
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:20.840
Maybe to sum up, do you
expect the talent level and all of

508
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:24.400
that to improve with this move.
That's our intention. I mean, right

509
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:29.400
now, we have almost half of
our players get college commitments every year,

510
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:34.519
which is ridiculous. I don't know
why we aren't the model across the country

511
00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:38.599
for the way you handle college tracking
hockey, but it feels to us like

512
00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:45.519
we're we're going to be a better
league because the player pool has been expanded.

513
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:50.119
Now we can get a couple of
international kids to come. We can

514
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:54.079
get out of Province kids to come
and play in an environment where they're going

515
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:59.639
to learn fast and develop better and
go to college. Okay, before I

516
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:04.440
let you Chris, four teams left
in the playoffs. What Pons lost four

517
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:07.639
games total all year? Can anybody
knock them off? Well, they're going

518
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:12.480
to be tough, obviously, and
they just got better over the course of

519
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:19.400
the year. But we've got teams
alive in these playoffs that are going to

520
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:23.239
see what they can do to knock
off the Kings. And look what just

521
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:29.840
happened to the Bruins. I mean
in the playoffs, goalie gets hot,

522
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:35.559
somebody you know, loses some confidence
and that can happen. We're proud of

523
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:38.400
what Pintictons doing. We want everybody
to do. What Pententicton's doing is to

524
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:45.400
elevate the standard to what amounts to
a clear rival to Major junior in terms

525
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:51.599
of the standard on the ice.
But I think they're going to be tough

526
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:54.039
to beat, there's no question about
it. They had fourteen kids come back

527
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:59.400
from a championship team, which never
happens in early We always have turnover,

528
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:04.519
but that's that's what happened for Penticton
this year and it'll be somebody else's turn

529
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.760
you watch, Chris, Thanks for
doing this, appreciate it. We'll talk

530
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:10.800
to you in a bit. Mcare
guys, you bet. Chris heb CEO

531
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:16.440
of the bc HL. Penticton is
up to nothing on Salmon Arm the other

532
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:22.880
series Albernie Valley up to nothing on
Chilliwack. Both of those series resume tonight.

533
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:27.000
So he mentioned there there's still that
restriction you have to have five minimum

534
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:30.960
of five BC born and bred players
on your BCHL roster. Yeah you do,

535
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:36.280
and look Donnie there, that's the
biggest key for me is the BC

536
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:38.559
kids. It's the BC League.
Take care of your BC kids first.

537
00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:44.000
Always, it's the British Columbia Hockey
League. So make sure you take care

538
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:46.559
of your kids. I understand they're
doing all this. There's positives to it,

539
00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:50.480
but there's some negatives to it.
They got a refereeing issue they got

540
00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:52.880
to figure out. And I'm going
to tell you something else, Donnie.

541
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:57.440
Right now, the USHL is a
big you know, is causing problems too

542
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:01.039
because that league right now, look
at this, Donny Macklin, Celebrini,

543
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:06.280
Owned Power, and Adam Fantelly have
played for the Chicago Steal in the past

544
00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:10.159
few years. These are top overall
picks in the Nhlnian kids. Yeah,

545
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:14.920
yeah, and and and you know
you can talk about as Cellabrini, why

546
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:16.679
didn't you play in the BC Hockey
League as a sixteen year old wyzee in

547
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:21.280
Chicago? Because I'll tell you why. Chicago's Steal they got a damn good

548
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:24.440
reputation among agents and among a lot
of hockey people. So there's competition out

549
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:29.760
there, Donnie, and sometimes you
gotta do things to uh, you know,

550
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:32.599
compete, compete absolutely, and they
think this is the best way to

551
00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:37.000
go. Just make sure you take
care of your BC kids first. You've

552
00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:40.079
got some business before we go to
break. Yeah, that's right, you

553
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:45.039
better. Well, it's it's it's
good kids. It's the best league in

554
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:49.199
Canada. Buy a country mile.
I love junior hockey. I love these

555
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:52.320
kids. You and I both sat
on the bus with junior kids. We

556
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:55.519
know the commitment they make at a
young age to move from town to town

557
00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:00.360
away from their families with billets.
You know that. Donna and I spent

558
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:02.599
a lot of times with junior kids. I have a ton of respect for

559
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:06.119
them. And you know what,
just make sure you take care of you

560
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:09.639
the local kids. All right.
The Arnold Palmer designed Whister Golf Club is

561
00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:14.519
getting ready to open May twelfth,
and there's no before. What do you

562
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:16.880
mean? I loved you you when
you and I paid her dues up North.

563
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:20.639
Ryan wouldn't know this. Uh,
we sat on the bus with the

564
00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:23.800
boys. I love junior ocupiers there
right there, right there, you and

565
00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:27.679
I. We had good road trips, good fun with the boys. If

566
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:30.000
Ryan doesn't know anyways, can I
get going here? Do you want me

567
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.280
to go? Go? Okay?
Yeah? The Arnold Palmer designed Whister Golf

568
00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:37.559
Club getting ready to open May twelve. There's no better way to celebrate their

00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:40.159
fortieth anniversary than to play. Well, you got it, Donny and Dolly.

595
00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:37.840
Lawn equipment, Big ryde a Twitter
guy. Hey, I told you I

596
00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:40.199
bought a leaf blower over the weekend. Ohoh really, I said, you

597
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:45.480
know a lot of a lot of
they were sarcasm there. Have you used

598
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:47.280
it yet? No, Because I'm
I'm gonna My first project with it is

599
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:51.360
going to be to clean off the
decks. I'm gonna blow off the decks

600
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:53.000
and yeah, there's ten minutes for
five minutes. No, no, I'd

601
00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:57.400
like to be thorough im. I'm
not gonna spend two hours for five days

602
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:01.599
straight like Dollywall did. But he's
got a power wash quickly. The leaf

603
00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:05.880
blower is a great invention. Yeah, it's just just phenomenal. It's just

604
00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:08.119
it's it saves you from It's just
it cuts time. It's so good.

605
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:10.400
I love it. Mine's a two
and one. It's a leaf blower and

606
00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:15.280
a vacuum. Hm. So vacuum. Yeah, you have fun with that.

607
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:21.079
Yeah, it'll suck. Yeah,
Okay. Tonight is the marks the

608
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:27.119
start of the NHL announcing their award
finalists. Uh, tonight will be the

609
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:32.239
Sauchie finalists, as well as the
Lady Bing finalists. All of the predictions

610
00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:38.119
when it comes to the Saukie Trophy
all say pretty much unanimously that Patrice Bergeron

611
00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:43.320
will win the Sauchie Trophy. Uh. One Copatar your favorite for the Lady

612
00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:46.400
Being trophy apparently, Uh, the
trophy, no one cares about it.

613
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:50.800
It's really true. Uh, and
so they go, all due respect to

614
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:57.719
well and the Lady Being mister Lady
byng, I'm gonna say it's probably a

615
00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:02.000
mister Bing. Yeah, Chad.
Her Being is his grandfather, so his

616
00:43:02.039 --> 00:43:06.599
grandmother. So that starts tonight tomorrow
to be interesting, as they called.

617
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:09.639
The trophy gets announced and then it
goes on and on as the playoff.

618
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:15.199
This next round of the playoffs continues
this year the NHL Awards show being held

619
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:20.519
in Nashville, the site of the
draft towards the end of June is when

620
00:43:20.559 --> 00:43:25.199
they have the Awards show. I
didn't know the history of the Lady Being

621
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:31.760
all that. Well, he named
in honor of Marie Evelyn Morton, Lady

622
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:37.719
Byng, wife of the Viscount Being
of Vimy. So she was Lady Bing

623
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:43.559
No they did. They just picked
some random Yeah. But I'm saying because

624
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:45.679
her name obviously doesn't have bing in
it. No, it doesn't. So

625
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:50.559
so it's Lady Being. No.
No, but the the Viscount Being whatever

626
00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:53.880
the hell this is who she was
married to? The Viscount. What's a

627
00:43:54.039 --> 00:44:00.760
viscount. Well, it's a brand
of cigarettes from what I remember, That's

628
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:05.400
what I thought it was. But
it's something self royal things, some title.

629
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:08.760
He commanded Canadian forces at the Battle
of Vimy Ridge. Okay, well,

630
00:44:08.760 --> 00:44:13.280
so I mean right there, let's
stop joking. Absolutely, no kidding.

631
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:15.800
Yes, but yeah, so as
I mentioned sukey Lady bing tonight called

632
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:22.239
her tomorrow Norris Trophy coming out on
Thursday night, Quinn Hughes maybe with a

633
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:24.599
voter too. There, we'll see. You better get a voter too.

634
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:28.760
We know for sure you do well, you can't do anything done, but

635
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:30.719
you gonna you know, it would
be a travesty if you didn't get some

636
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:34.400
votes. We know for sure he
will get at least one because our guest

637
00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:37.280
at eleven o'clock said he was gonna
put him on his BA Craig button.

638
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:39.639
Yeah, he's gonna vote for Quinn
Hughes. Yes, yes, so we

639
00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:43.239
will get a vote. Let's see
what happens. And again, when it

640
00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:45.679
comes to the NHL Awards, Taylor
no problem with the current names of all

641
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:51.679
the NHL trophies, despite being pretty
much no reference to the league. I

642
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:55.039
we just talked about Vimy Ridge here
and you're gonna just do away with the

643
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:59.760
name Lady Big. But the bigger
trophies, let's be honest here, the

644
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.360
eager trophies. I don't want to
go on about this because it's an and

645
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:07.599
you and I can continually win Yeah, no, not quite. People go,

646
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:10.039
oh, he has a good point. No, not one of these

647
00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:14.039
days when we've got nothing else to
talk about, we'll go over and old

648
00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:19.199
debate. Yes, that's right,
we do that a lot. This is

649
00:45:19.239 --> 00:45:24.480
something that is interesting. Earlier this
morning, Shams with the Athletic breaking news

650
00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:30.280
that the Memphis Grizzlies have informed pending
free agent Dylan Brooks Canadian Dylan Brooks that

651
00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:37.280
this is strong wording he will not
be brought back under any circumstances. U

652
00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:39.920
League sources say, uh, and
the story goes on. First of all,

653
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:44.480
Dylon Brooks was offered a contract earlier
in the year by Memphis and said

654
00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:45.559
no thanks, but no thanks,
brother, to wait till the end of

655
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:49.320
the year. And then, of
course we know what happened in this last

656
00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:53.719
round Lakers and the Grizzlies and him
poking the bear with Lebron and then kind

657
00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:58.199
of running away from the fight after
that. Uh not, kind of,

658
00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:00.440
he did run away from the fight
after Trump is peak into the media and

659
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:05.480
his performance too, he just kind
of it was not a great. A

660
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:07.239
lot of people said, you watched
the T and T bro not a great

661
00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:12.519
ball. He's an average players,
He's an average player run of the mill.

662
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:14.679
I think it was Barkley. He
kept saying, you know, he'll

663
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:15.880
give you eleven and seven, but
there's a lot of guys that will give

664
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:19.440
you eleven and seven. That's not, you know, a big deal.

665
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:23.119
So Dylan Brooks will hit hit free
agency. And it sounds as though this

666
00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:28.639
relationship kind of went sour again with
this with this postseason run, and the

667
00:46:28.639 --> 00:46:31.000
Grizzlies weren't all that thrilled with the
way he played, and they're fine to

668
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:36.760
walk away from him as free away
from Yeah, but which is the baggage?

669
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:40.920
Because I wonder if he had stuck
with the act, if that would

670
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:47.360
have made him more desirable by the
Grizzlies, if they went, man,

671
00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:51.320
look at this guy. He got
under Lebron's skin. You know, he

672
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:54.360
was noticeable in the game. You
know, he brought an element. He

673
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:57.599
kind of you know, pulled the
team into it a bit a lot of

674
00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:00.440
nights. But instead he just became
a distraction because he had those comments about

675
00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:02.679
Lebron and then as I said,
he just kind of he didn't talk to

676
00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:07.880
the media after that any of the
games. He basically said, yeah,

677
00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:09.639
I don't need to prove myself you
know, to anyone, is that his

678
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:14.159
doing or did the clubs say anything
to him? But it was his doing?

679
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:19.360
Okay? He he because multiple times
he was leaving the room as reporters

680
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:21.599
were going in and he basically said, I got nothing to say to you

681
00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:25.440
today, and he would just leave
them walk away. So Canadian Dylan Brooks

682
00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:30.320
will be a free agent coming up
of this year. Last night in the

683
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:35.320
NBA, the Suns taking a two
nothing lead, Uh no, I got

684
00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:39.000
that backwards. Took a two nothing
lead in that series, and Philly,

685
00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:45.719
surprising people, take a one game
lead on the Celtics in Game one of

686
00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:49.519
that series without Joel embat but a
big performance by James Harden. I don't

687
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:52.400
know if you guys saw what he
was wearing as he got into the building

688
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:55.400
last Nay, it was actually you
know what, It's actually not that surprising

689
00:47:55.480 --> 00:48:00.719
because Rick actually has the same outfit
as what's from the Rick Dolly Water.

690
00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:05.519
Yeah, I've seen Rick. Rick
has actually showed up to uh the studio

691
00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:08.760
wearing this in the pass there you
go, that's that. He wore that

692
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:14.679
to the Moore that last night James
Harden did Oh my goodness, And who's

693
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:19.360
the denim is there, who's the
who's the Is it a muppet or a

694
00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:22.719
sesame street? That's all the cookie
monster. It's kind of what he looks

695
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.239
like. It's kind of a cookie
monster. It's the same color blue as

696
00:48:25.239 --> 00:48:30.960
the like what is I don't know? And are you not a million degrees

697
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:35.800
in that thing too? Like i'd
be I'd be on fire. See the

698
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:38.320
shoe. You can't see your shoe. You could take four steps before anybody

699
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:43.760
knows you're wanting. But the old
wide remember that. You won't remember this,

700
00:48:43.800 --> 00:48:49.280
but you remember flared pants. And
then after that was the it was

701
00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:52.440
the wide legs. Why, yeah, well this takes it to another extreme.

702
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:54.880
Well, wide legs, wide leg
pants or kind of how are you

703
00:48:54.880 --> 00:49:00.559
you don't big with the youth now? And exactly how do you rememberer back

704
00:49:00.599 --> 00:49:01.960
then? And don't tell me you're
a youth right now? No? No,

705
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:06.920
But like baggie pants, this is
not like, this is another This

706
00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:10.679
is another level. This is just
outrageous look at me type yeah, stupid

707
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:14.639
and hey again he backed it up
last night. I think I'm pretty sure

708
00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:16.400
he had forty points. I think
it was his final total. He played

709
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:20.159
great for the sixers in the sixers
Steel Game one in Boston, like if

710
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:28.119
you fell off the building problem and
fun fact about this outfit, Craig Button

exact same thing and he's hit with you

721
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:21.679
Under eighteen Championships TSN Scotting director Craig
Button. Craig, thanks for doing this.

722
00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:25.480
How's the trip? It was fantastic
and you know you go to Switzerland.

723
00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:30.880
It was a nice set up.
Everybody, you know, really with

724
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:35.320
respect to the international hockey community.
It was nice to spend time with everybody

725
00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:37.880
and to have that opportunity to be
you know, person to person contact.

726
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:42.440
And as we see in these tournaments, they get better as time goes on.

727
00:50:42.599 --> 00:50:45.960
In the final day, bronze medal
game, Ankle Metal game, what

728
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:51.159
two fantastic games and certainly a lot
of excitement with the entire tournament. So

729
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:53.920
we're really positive and now we move
on to NHL playoffs. I think it

730
00:50:53.960 --> 00:50:58.400
should Canada be satisfied with the bronze
Craig given what was over there. I

731
00:50:58.440 --> 00:51:00.320
think so. I think so,
don Yeah, I mean it was a

732
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:04.559
team that was capable of competing for
a gold medal, and you know,

733
00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:07.119
they had nine players returning from their
he Lincoln Gretzky team that won a gold

734
00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:12.679
medal. But the two best teams
in the tournament played in the gold medal

735
00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:15.719
and it went to I went to
overtime, and you know, you look

736
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:20.320
at it. You know, Canada
got out scored fifteen to two by Sweden.

737
00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:24.880
No, it wasn't accidental. Sweden
was not much better than Canada and

738
00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:29.480
Canada was undefeated in the rest of
their games, So it tells you that

739
00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:31.440
they fit into the right spot in
the tournament. So and I think the

740
00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:35.719
way they found a way to win
the bronze medal. They had some injuries,

741
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:39.880
corn Curson Barnison went out and they
lost Callum Richie and so I think

742
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:44.840
just the way they did. But
I mean, anybody that's watching Max Cellabrini

743
00:51:44.880 --> 00:51:49.239
play, I mean I have swung
right. I mean, like when I

744
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:52.679
watched Max Cellabrini play and I watched
Cole Eiserman played two great players. But

745
00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:58.039
the way Cellabrini plays the game,
like Jonathan Days right now, he has

746
00:51:58.079 --> 00:52:00.440
to be the number one guy.
For the twenty twenty four drop. He

747
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:07.199
was brilliant. He was Canada's best
player. Knack fan Macklin Celebrini Devil's all

748
00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:09.639
the ranges for nothing. Game seven. What did you think of the TRUEBA

749
00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:15.679
hit on Timo Meyer? Yeah,
I thought it was I thought within the

750
00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:19.280
context of the rules in the NHL, it's a it's a clean body check,

751
00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:23.079
and you know, we we can
discuss and it's a different discussion about

752
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:29.280
should there be head contact allowed?
The International Ice Hockey Federation doesn't allow it

753
00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:31.840
for the most part, but the
NHL, right now, does I go

754
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:37.440
all the way back to twenty ten, twenty eleven with those blindside hits on

755
00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:42.559
Mark Savard and I forget who the
other one was on, but David Booth

756
00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:46.159
and Colin Campbell said do we want
this hit in the game? That's what

757
00:52:46.199 --> 00:52:49.360
he said. He said, do
we want that type of hit in the

758
00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:52.880
game? So what like in that
play? I think it's within the rules

759
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:57.920
of the NHL. It's an allowable
head and I think it's fine in that

760
00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:00.519
regard. The question now we ask
ourselves, is that something we want in

761
00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:05.119
the game. I want physical play, I want body checking, But much

762
00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:08.000
like football, do we have to
make sure that we don't impact the head?

763
00:53:08.119 --> 00:53:14.280
Because you know that we know the
impact, we know what the effects

764
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:17.599
are on head contact. So how
do we slow the game down a little

765
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:21.920
bit? How do we make sure
that there's still physical play but with the

766
00:53:21.960 --> 00:53:24.840
head being protected. That's a different
discussion. I think that the right call

767
00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:30.159
was absolutely made with respect to the
way the rule book has written. With

768
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:34.840
that H Craig our first time to
talk to you about what happened in Boston,

769
00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:37.239
best regular season in NHL history.
They're out in Round one? Did

770
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:43.039
you see that coming? How shocked
were you. I was shocked. Rick.

771
00:53:43.360 --> 00:53:47.559
You know, I watched Game six
in its entirety from Switzerland, and

772
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:51.880
you know, you have the three
stars of the game, and I'm watching

773
00:53:51.920 --> 00:53:54.119
that game and I'm thinking, like, who are the three duds? Who

774
00:53:54.119 --> 00:53:59.679
are the five duds? And players
that you wouldn't expect Ladas Allmark was terrible,

775
00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:02.239
chart Matt Boy was terrible, Patrice
Berjon was terrible, and You're going

776
00:54:02.280 --> 00:54:07.039
like, who is playing in these
players jerseys and how can they have such

777
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:10.800
a fall off in their play?
But it wasn't just those three. I

778
00:54:10.840 --> 00:54:14.760
mean Connor Clifton had a tough Game
six, and then you start to go

779
00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:20.000
through the lineup and what I would
say is whatever could go wrong did go

780
00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:23.719
wrong at the wrong time for the
Boston Bruins. And you know, the

781
00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:30.440
Florida Panthers, I think they sensed. I think they sensed they had a

782
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:32.119
team that was vulnerable, and you
know, they had to go and win

783
00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:36.480
two games in Boston. But I
think by the time they got the Game

784
00:54:36.639 --> 00:54:42.119
seven, I think the Florida Panthers
confidence was pretty high. And you know,

785
00:54:42.119 --> 00:54:45.519
if you break it down to one
thing, the goaltending Jennings Trophy winning

786
00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:50.400
goaltending for the Boston Bruins. Oh
boy, was it bad in the playoffs

787
00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:52.559
versus of Florida. And that's not
going to get you anywhere, that type

788
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:57.159
of goaltending, Craig. But a
lot of people in Toronto are wishing for

789
00:54:57.159 --> 00:55:00.639
Florida. They think it's an easier
route. But you know, preview that

790
00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:02.599
series for us, I don't think
it's going to be a sweep for the

791
00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:07.159
Maple Leafs. Yeah, I don't
think it's gonna be a sweep at all.

792
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:09.639
So Rick, you're just a young
guy, Donny, and I'll remember

793
00:55:09.679 --> 00:55:13.000
this. You'll have to go look
up the hits. A whole lot of

794
00:55:13.000 --> 00:55:16.000
second here. Crag. I'm not
that old. I didn't. I didn't

795
00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:19.880
say to that old. I didn't
say. I said, Rick, you're

796
00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:22.880
younger than Downy and I. We're
young in spirit. We don't look like

797
00:55:24.440 --> 00:55:30.880
right. So nineteen ninety four Ric
nineteen ninety four team in Dallas, we

798
00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:35.199
dusted the Saint Louis Blues in four
games. We dusted them. It wasn't

799
00:55:35.239 --> 00:55:39.320
even close. And we're licking our
chops. Vancouver and Calgary Game five,

800
00:55:39.480 --> 00:55:45.840
game six, Game seven, double
overtime have opera scores that fantastic overtime winner,

801
00:55:46.039 --> 00:55:50.000
and they come down to Dallas and
we're licking our chops. Oh boy,

802
00:55:50.039 --> 00:55:52.840
and we got this team. They
dusted us like we were an American

803
00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:57.440
Hockey League team. The fact that
it even got the five games was a

804
00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:00.519
miracle because they were so much better
than us. The Toronto map Leaves better

805
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:06.320
be leary of the Florida Panthers for
that exact reason. First of all,

806
00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:08.239
down the stretch, they were in
playoff mode. They got to find a

807
00:56:08.239 --> 00:56:12.760
way to win three games where if
they don't, they go home. That

808
00:56:12.880 --> 00:56:15.519
was the Vancouver Canucks and night and
forget about whipping our butts. It's the

809
00:56:15.639 --> 00:56:19.400
second round of the playoffs. They
went all the way to game seven.

810
00:56:19.480 --> 00:56:22.239
They were down three games to one, and then they'd go and take it

811
00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:24.679
all the way to game seven.
That's what the Toronto and the Toronto maple

812
00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:30.880
Leaves. Despite winning this series,
a stronger Toronto maple Leaves team against a

813
00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:34.639
weaker Tampa Bay Lightning team than last
year, weren't as good as the Trontal

814
00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:37.800
map Leaves team last year. The
last seam Game seven, the Lease better

815
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:42.760
get their game in order because Florida
as a formidable opponent. Yeah, okay,

816
00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:47.760
and Craig before I let you go
very quickly Kracking and Dallas Chris around

817
00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:52.559
here, we're talking a lot about
Seattle. Do people underestimate the Dallas Stars

818
00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:57.880
one hundred and eight eight points and
then they took care of Minnesota as well.

819
00:56:58.880 --> 00:57:00.719
I think they do underrest to make
them and you know, for the

820
00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:05.679
for the Colorado, ABB wants to
full marks to Seattle, Cracking for you

821
00:57:05.719 --> 00:57:09.280
know, really pushing the Colorado Avalanche
over the ledge. And you know,

822
00:57:09.599 --> 00:57:14.400
Colorado didn't get enough from promote too
many players in the lineup. They had

823
00:57:14.440 --> 00:57:17.079
some injuries which which affected them.
Dallas doesn't have that problem. They had

824
00:57:17.079 --> 00:57:22.320
the best goaltender remaining in the Western
Conference. In fact, they have the

825
00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:25.199
best goaltender remaining in the entire playoffs
in my opinion, And they have a

826
00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:30.400
lot of depth their defense. Mero
Hayskinning, I think he'said under the radar,

827
00:57:30.239 --> 00:57:35.840
brilliant defender in the National Hockey League. And Seattle's quick and they're fast

828
00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:38.039
and they're gonna push you. But
I think Dallas has got too much.

829
00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:45.119
I think Dallas is a team that
could find themselves deep into the playoffs.

830
00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:47.719
Deep and when I say, deep, I'm talking competing for a Stanley Cup

831
00:57:47.760 --> 00:57:51.920
final? Will not our Stanley Cup? Will it be easy? No?

832
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:54.000
But I agree with you Donnie.
You know, I think they may be

833
00:57:54.079 --> 00:57:58.679
a little bit under the radar.
And Peter Dubor's record is he takes teams

834
00:57:58.679 --> 00:58:02.119
and gets them to the cup.
Vinylus first year coaching. Yeah, Craig,

835
00:58:02.159 --> 00:58:06.280
good to have you back on North
American soil. I know Rick likes

836
00:58:06.280 --> 00:58:08.400
your shirt. Craig. I don't
know. I don't know if you think

837
00:58:08.440 --> 00:58:13.840
I'm thirty years old, but I'm
over fifty and under fifty five. I'm

838
00:58:13.880 --> 00:58:16.880
not far behind you, guys,
not far behind you. You're not far

839
00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:21.280
behind Craig. I think I got
your beata a few years Craig, like

840
00:58:21.400 --> 00:58:24.239
you, Craig, I'm not twenty
years old. You know I looked twenty

841
00:58:24.719 --> 00:58:30.079
Okay, honestly, nineteen ninety four
was thirty years ago. So you know,

842
00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:32.639
if you started watching hockey when you
were six, that would make your

843
00:58:32.719 --> 00:58:37.679
thirty six. So so maybe basically
I look at you as as a forty

844
00:58:37.719 --> 00:58:43.519
year old. So you're aging very
well. Thank you, Thank you doing

845
00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:45.559
And if you want to look as
good as Donnie and me, when where

846
00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:49.280
all that age. Just keep doing
what you're doing. Yeah, yeah,

847
00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:53.599
thanks Craig, appreciate it. Hey
caret Craig button. We talked about some

the genogic sign puck I'll protect Series
two hockey cards. Uh, and the

890
01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:15.800
card Oh the day as the Oh, there's a bit of a shine on

891
01:02:15.840 --> 01:02:17.159
it. But as the leaves take
on the panthers is a bit of a

892
01:02:17.199 --> 01:02:22.320
shine on that player. Yeah,
Sam Bennett, he's been a great player.

893
01:02:22.480 --> 01:02:25.159
Not related to Sam Cook. No, it looks like there's ice in

894
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:29.400
front of him and he just kind
of you know, a quick stop and

895
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:32.480
start. Look at he's a hockey
player, and look at the card.

896
01:02:32.519 --> 01:02:36.920
It looks like and start. I'm
looking at this and I think there's ice

897
01:02:36.960 --> 01:02:38.480
in the back of him as in
front of him. It looks like he

898
01:02:38.559 --> 01:02:43.960
just went up sprayed the goalie.
Yeah that happens. Yeah, when I

899
01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:46.360
was a kid growing up, that
was like the shot on a hockey card.

900
01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:50.280
Yeah, spraying the goalie, stop
and start. If you had that

901
01:02:50.360 --> 01:02:54.159
shot where the where the player was
spraying into the camera, ice was great.

902
01:02:54.199 --> 01:02:59.880
It was a great day. It
was it was standing where are we,

903
01:03:00.559 --> 01:03:06.800
lady and red? Okay, you
some information regarding the Canucks. You

904
01:03:06.880 --> 01:03:10.800
talked with Jonathan LAKARAMACKI. Yeah,
when he plays hockey has ice in front

905
01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:15.199
of him and behind him. Stop
it. Not every card's got that,

906
01:03:15.559 --> 01:03:20.119
Donnie. That was a different card. What a hockey card with ice spraying?

907
01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:23.440
Why can't you see that he sprayed
the ice on the hockey KARAMACKI all

908
01:03:23.519 --> 01:03:27.960
right. I talked to him this
morning is Sweden. He's disappointed his team

909
01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:30.119
loss in Game seven, Donnie,
but happy about his playoffs fifteen points in

910
01:03:30.199 --> 01:03:34.719
fifteen games. He said he's finally
healthy for the first time in a long

911
01:03:34.760 --> 01:03:38.039
time. Confidence is sky high.
Now he's going to talk to his agents

912
01:03:38.079 --> 01:03:42.360
soon about where he's going to play
next year. I've been told the Canucks

913
01:03:42.719 --> 01:03:45.760
early word as the Canucks would like
him back in Sweden for one more year

914
01:03:45.039 --> 01:03:49.119
before he comes to Habsburg. Some
say he wants to move up a league

915
01:03:49.119 --> 01:03:52.760
in Sweden to the SHL. Time
will tell, we'll find out soon.

916
01:03:52.920 --> 01:03:55.239
But his North American agent, Jerry
Johansson, told me he's going to talk

917
01:03:55.280 --> 01:04:00.079
to the Canucks soon. Very important
pick, Donnie first pick of the new

918
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:03.320
regime. The old regime traded so
many first round picks Donny was ridiculous.

919
01:04:03.480 --> 01:04:06.480
So now they got a nurture of
this kid, develop them, get them

920
01:04:06.480 --> 01:04:10.719
over. Maybe one more year in
Sweden and then I want a second.

921
01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:13.760
What about the new regime. They
just let go a first round draft pick

922
01:04:13.920 --> 01:04:16.320
and a second, Yeah, and
a second. And if they and the

923
01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:19.079
way shaping out in the playoffs,
the Comucks would have had three picks in

924
01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:26.559
the first forty three dot pick down
to one pick in the top forty three.

925
01:04:27.440 --> 01:04:30.480
Cammy Grenado still hearing her name in
Philadelphia. Not saying she's going to

926
01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:32.760
get the job there, but her
name is still out there, is the

927
01:04:32.760 --> 01:04:38.320
Philly Flyers continue to look for some
higher So again, just just out there.

928
01:04:38.320 --> 01:04:41.360
I'm not saying she's going to Philly, but it's out there. She's

929
01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:44.920
been around for a while. Yeah, and Emily cast on Gay first,

930
01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:48.679
there was a small conversation with her, but you could see teams uh calling

931
01:04:48.880 --> 01:04:53.280
and talking. They're looking for new
people in Philadelphia and uh the way you

932
01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:57.960
go. Okay, Um, let's
move away from the Canucks for a second.

933
01:04:58.159 --> 01:05:01.199
And the playoffs at focus on the
auto Ofwa senators. And we've made

934
01:05:01.199 --> 01:05:05.760
a big deal over the last several
weeks about Ryan Reynolds being part of a

935
01:05:05.800 --> 01:05:11.079
group that is bidding on the senators, and we're talking about the senators being

936
01:05:11.119 --> 01:05:14.559
sold for somewhere in the neighborhood of
one billion dollars billion. No, so

937
01:05:15.079 --> 01:05:18.920
we know there are other groups other
than the Remington group that Ryan Reynolds is

938
01:05:18.960 --> 01:05:21.559
involved in. And one of the
other groups, and we're hearing a half

939
01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:28.559
dozen of other groups, is a
group California headed up by Nico Sparks,

940
01:05:28.760 --> 01:05:33.599
who is a rich man. He's
a film filmmaker and part of his group

941
01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:42.199
Snoop dot Dot. He hear's Snoop
on first take on ESPN was this yesterday.

942
01:05:42.199 --> 01:05:46.280
This is from this morning. Snoop
talking about his interest in the NHL

943
01:05:46.360 --> 01:05:49.400
and the Ottawa Senators. Well,
you know, I've been watching hockey for

944
01:05:49.519 --> 01:05:54.719
about twenty five years now and I'm
watching more and more you know, keys

945
01:05:54.719 --> 01:05:58.280
that look like me play the game. But I'm not saying it being offered

946
01:05:58.280 --> 01:06:00.440
to the keys over here in America. Know how big it is in Canada.

947
01:06:00.519 --> 01:06:03.519
And I've been you know, down
with the NHL for a long time,

948
01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:06.920
going to games, announcing games,
being a part of the society.

949
01:06:08.199 --> 01:06:12.000
So this opportunity came in order to
for me to like be a part of

950
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:15.800
the ownership of the Ottawa Senators.
So I jumped on it. And then

951
01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:18.360
the plan that we have is to
also go and build a Snoop youth hockey

952
01:06:18.400 --> 01:06:23.599
league outside of Canada, so kids
and urban communities can learn about hockey,

953
01:06:23.639 --> 01:06:26.519
can play the sport, and find
ways to get into this you know,

954
01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:30.000
great thing that's called hockey, because
right now the NBA and the NHL is

955
01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:33.239
having some great playoff games and the
kids need to know that there is an

956
01:06:33.239 --> 01:06:40.000
option to play hockey if you look
like me. That guy is as smart

957
01:06:40.039 --> 01:06:44.679
as can be. And you look
at the not just music, but businesses

958
01:06:44.679 --> 01:06:50.639
outside of music. Everything he touches
is successful. Look if NiCoT Sparks bid

959
01:06:50.800 --> 01:06:56.159
isn't successful. What he said there, the Snoop Youth Hockey League, Yep,

960
01:06:56.239 --> 01:06:59.679
I'm Bettman, Yep, I'm jumping
all over all over that, all

961
01:06:59.679 --> 01:07:01.599
over the whether. You know,
maybe they'd be hard feelings if they didn't

962
01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:10.199
get the didn't have a successful bid. But and look and people who might

963
01:07:10.199 --> 01:07:13.719
not know this, and where's this
coming from. Snoop's kids played, and

964
01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:16.840
he was at Anaheim Ducks games on
LA Kings on a regular basis. La

965
01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:19.800
Kings. We did some play by
play for the La Kings. As a

966
01:07:19.800 --> 01:07:24.880
matter of fact, his interest is
sincere. He's done video game work for

967
01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:27.880
the NHL. He's done a ton
for the NHL. It's important to have

968
01:07:27.960 --> 01:07:32.000
guys like that because hockey isn't hitting
mainstream USA, you know. And they

969
01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:38.639
got up on the open jossibility of
another market opening up. Absolutely. The

970
01:07:38.679 --> 01:07:45.599
one thing I find interesting is Freedman
is reported that Ryan Reynolds might move to

971
01:07:45.800 --> 01:07:49.320
the winning bid right of the sense, like even though he's with a certain

972
01:07:49.360 --> 01:07:53.199
group right now, to be the
face I wonder if the same thing might

973
01:07:53.239 --> 01:07:58.719
happen now with Snoop. Does the
winning bid call him and ask him to

974
01:07:58.760 --> 01:08:02.000
be part of their bid even if
it's not with the original bid he's trying

975
01:08:02.039 --> 01:08:04.719
to go in with. But would
you accept that? I don't know.

976
01:08:04.800 --> 01:08:09.559
And beyond that, I'll say it
again if his interest is sincere, but

977
01:08:09.639 --> 01:08:14.760
that stoop Youth Hockey League again completely
different, Like go for it. Somebody

978
01:08:14.840 --> 01:08:18.239
the NHS should call him today after
hearing that, Like that should be that

979
01:08:18.359 --> 01:08:23.319
should be the league trying to work
something out with him right now, even

980
01:08:23.359 --> 01:08:26.159
if that, even if something with
the sense doesn't work out, that should

981
01:08:26.199 --> 01:08:30.079
be something. I mean, he's
really good with what he's saying, you

982
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:33.920
know, like when he especially with
the ending there people that look like him.

983
01:08:34.239 --> 01:08:39.000
Yeah. If he goes to Ottawa, Triumpkin's not gonna sign there.

984
01:08:39.760 --> 01:08:43.680
Yeah. Somebody bench mentioned that Cheech
and Chunks. That was Big Roy from

985
01:08:43.680 --> 01:08:45.960
Surrey and or Delanney's okay, you
are going to give him. I was

986
01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:49.640
gonna give him credit line. It
was a good line. If Snoop goes

987
01:08:49.640 --> 01:08:55.720
to Ottawa Trumpkintaw, Yeah, image
of the pregame festivities, he doesn't like

988
01:08:57.439 --> 01:09:00.119
that. Never happens in Vancouver.

1003
01:10:13.399 --> 01:10:16.560
get serious here, folks. Gordon
Lightfoot has died at the age of eighty

1004
01:10:16.560 --> 01:10:23.039
four. The legendary Canadian musician passed
at a Toronto hospital on Monday. Cause

1005
01:10:23.079 --> 01:10:27.119
of death at this point last time
I checked, Ryan not made available.

1006
01:10:27.399 --> 01:10:31.600
Gordon Lightfoot was from a really Ontario
rose to fame in the yearly sixties after

1007
01:10:31.600 --> 01:10:38.279
he moved to Toronto. His sixty
five debut album Lightfoot included Early Morning rain

1008
01:10:38.359 --> 01:10:42.640
Who Hasn't Heard That? If You're
Canadian? Number one hit for in and

1009
01:10:42.760 --> 01:10:46.800
Sylvia Tyson. Gordon made his first
appearance on the Billboard charts with nineteen seventy

1010
01:10:46.800 --> 01:10:49.840
ones If you could read My Mind, I could list off all these songs.

1011
01:10:49.880 --> 01:10:54.520
We've all heard them. He topped
the Billboard Top one hundred. Nineteen

1012
01:10:54.560 --> 01:10:59.439
seventy four was Sundown. Other songs
of his that topped various charts If you

1013
01:10:59.439 --> 01:11:02.520
could read My Mind, care Free
Highway. I mentioned If you could Read

1014
01:11:02.560 --> 01:11:08.279
My Mind earlier, care Free Highway, Rainy d People, and my favorite

1015
01:11:08.319 --> 01:11:11.640
one of the greatest songs of all
time, The Wreck of the Edmund FitzGeralds

1016
01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:15.279
and oh yeah, by the way, Gordon Lightfoot a huge hockey fan,

1017
01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:25.239
huge lame stroll it up over the
bright line in Saturday night was always hockey

1018
01:11:25.319 --> 01:11:30.439
night and we rarely ever missed it. And we didn't have TV until I

1019
01:11:30.479 --> 01:11:35.520
was fourteen years old, so every
every all of my osmosis took place by

1020
01:11:35.640 --> 01:11:41.880
listening to hockey played on the radio. It was thrilling, it was you

1021
01:11:41.920 --> 01:11:50.359
could all you can visualize. The
game was blown a long path. We

1022
01:11:50.479 --> 01:11:55.880
cleared ranks and played in the Lake
Kuchacha. And I also had a rink

1023
01:11:55.920 --> 01:12:00.880
in the backyard at our house that
I used to tend to. We we

1024
01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:04.199
would flood the whole backyard and that
was the ring. And my sister also

1025
01:12:04.600 --> 01:12:12.479
figure skated, so she would practice
figure skating very little room. I mentioned

1026
01:12:13.119 --> 01:12:16.319
him passing at the age of forty
four. He was touring like in his

1027
01:12:16.880 --> 01:12:21.560
seventies, in his eighties, and
Bob Dylan, this is the kind of

1028
01:12:21.600 --> 01:12:25.960
respect that he held. Bob Dylan
is the person who inducted him. He

1029
01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:29.279
was in a lot of Hall of
Fames, but into the Canadian Music Hall

1030
01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:32.239
of Fame. You had an interesting
factoid from today, right, Yeah,

1031
01:12:32.239 --> 01:12:38.359
the top four top four songs right
now in the US it tunes charts all

1032
01:12:38.399 --> 01:12:43.279
belong to Gordon Lightfoot. So of
the top ten, he's got one,

1033
01:12:43.359 --> 01:12:45.880
two, three, four right now, including the Wreck of the aed Menthis

1034
01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:47.359
Child, which you and I have
argued about a lot. Yeah, I

1035
01:12:47.359 --> 01:12:53.119
mean, but kidding aside that there's
storytelling. The storytelling in that song is

1036
01:12:53.159 --> 01:12:58.520
incredible, It's insane, and I

1182
01:23:47.239 --> 01:23:50.039
country. I heard today? Is
it just me? I heard today?

1183
01:23:50.079 --> 01:23:56.359
The first game in Seattle, nosebleed
seats Donnie two eighty four, that's Robin

1184
01:23:56.479 --> 01:24:00.039
Victoria two eighty four for the cheapest
seat in Seattle for the next round in

1185
01:24:00.039 --> 01:24:03.920
the playoffs. And we understand that
the secondary market from our friend Ian Fernas

1186
01:24:04.159 --> 01:24:09.439
is just exploding. It's exploding.
Seattle is love and hockey right now,

1187
01:24:09.720 --> 01:24:12.840
right now, the Mariners are not
on the front page. The sports page

1188
01:24:12.920 --> 01:24:15.760
is, Donny, it's the crime. Don't forget Seattle and cant Loops as

1189
01:24:15.800 --> 01:24:19.479
well. Yes, in the Western
Hawkeleague in that building and can't understand has

1190
01:24:19.520 --> 01:24:24.319
been sold up packed on the weekend
as well. Uh, Seattle's up to

1191
01:24:24.479 --> 01:24:28.039
zip. Yes they are Dave in
Vancouver. This is good? Is it

1192
01:24:28.159 --> 01:24:30.479
just me? But it tells tells
sign If the Trupa hit was clean,

1193
01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:34.800
what was the devil's reaction now?
One player even went to talk to Truba.

1194
01:24:35.000 --> 01:24:39.680
Awesome, clean hit. Keep your
head up. You're taught that from

1195
01:24:39.720 --> 01:24:43.159
when you start playing. I'm usually
a fan of hits like that, but

1196
01:24:43.279 --> 01:24:45.479
that's thought the principal point of contact. What it was, It was the

1197
01:24:45.920 --> 01:24:49.359
it was but he crunched down middle
of the ice, head down, and

1198
01:24:49.560 --> 01:24:53.199
you got the best open ice hit
or in the NHL right now. Great

1199
01:24:53.239 --> 01:24:55.760
point by Da though, when Truba's
out there, you got to be aware

1200
01:24:55.800 --> 01:24:58.079
of the fact he's out there.
Look at this one, Donnie, Is

1201
01:24:58.119 --> 01:25:00.640
it just mirror? Would it not
be amazing if the Hurricanes wore the Whalers

1202
01:25:00.760 --> 01:25:05.319
gear and jersey wore throwbacks for the
second round series. You know, and

1203
01:25:05.479 --> 01:25:09.119
you know who would be a fan
of that? Our guests from earlier today.

1204
01:25:09.319 --> 01:25:11.680
I don't know. I don't know
what the reason for it is,

1205
01:25:11.720 --> 01:25:16.119
but Eric Francis is fascinated with the
Hartford Whalers and their logo. Yeah,

1206
01:25:16.159 --> 01:25:20.199
it's all over is beautiful, utiful, arguably one of the best, well

1207
01:25:20.239 --> 01:25:25.119
not arguably why I'm saying, there's
no argument one of the best sports logos

1208
01:25:25.159 --> 01:25:27.640
ever. Donny, I remember going
to the call seem the Canucks and the

1209
01:25:27.680 --> 01:25:30.000
heart for Whalers. It was a
big deal. He used to kiss me

1210
01:25:30.079 --> 01:25:32.399
off. He used to piss me
off because the Canucks gave up on that

1211
01:25:32.520 --> 01:25:36.600
blue and green color scheme. I've
learned to appreciate the black, red and

1212
01:25:36.680 --> 01:25:40.560
yellow a little bit more. But
at the time they would come into town,

1213
01:25:40.600 --> 01:25:42.680
I'm thinking the Canucks used to have
that colors. They had it.

1214
01:25:43.000 --> 01:25:45.560
It's darn, darn good. Of
course, the Whalers also had Cooper Rolls.

1215
01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:49.800
That's a matter for another day.
Okay, we're gonna take a break.

1216
01:25:49.880 --> 01:25:53.439
We're gonna wrap up the show.
The poll question some more, as

Are you interested in the most?
And right now leading the way?

1227
01:26:38.279 --> 01:26:42.399
No surprise, forty four percent.
The Oilers and the Golden Knights, two

1228
01:26:42.439 --> 01:26:45.039
of the top teams in the Western
Conference, and followed by the Panthers and

1229
01:26:45.159 --> 01:26:49.800
Leafs. So the Canadian teams ruling
the day on this poll question. Surprisingly,

1230
01:26:50.119 --> 01:26:55.680
in the last hour, Devils and
Hurricanes have surpassed Cracking and Stars,

1231
01:26:56.039 --> 01:27:00.600
even though Seattle is involved there two
feet away, Chris Craig Button agrees with

1232
01:27:00.680 --> 01:27:03.199
a lot of people, says don't
don't fall fall asleep on the stars stars,

1233
01:27:03.560 --> 01:27:05.760
They don't. They don't get a
whole lot of an autumn trench and

1234
01:27:05.960 --> 01:27:09.760
up. Tom Glardie would agree with
they got the best rupe in the NHL.

1235
01:27:10.479 --> 01:27:15.640
Absolutely rupe hints. I've always said
that business. If you missed any

1246
01:27:54.039 --> 01:27:58.079
right, Okay, um? Is
it just me? Chef swagger Hell's

1247
01:27:58.119 --> 01:28:00.520
Kitchen? Is it just me?
I spent five hours pressure washing the backyard

1248
01:28:00.600 --> 01:28:04.039
of my town house on the weekend. It's surprisingly hard on the body.

1249
01:28:04.159 --> 01:28:10.520
Rick Chef says his back is fried
and it's been three days. I don't

1250
01:28:10.520 --> 01:28:15.720
know why pressure washing affects your back. You're standing there with the position,

1251
01:28:15.000 --> 01:28:17.920
but you're not You're not bending over, you're not doing anything in your back.

1252
01:28:17.960 --> 01:28:20.760
You're standing still. I had the
same issues. I had A five

back. You had help with that.

1266
01:29:06.000 --> 01:29:10.960
Okanagan loves it. When we were
talking about the eighty two Canucks, one

1267
01:29:11.000 --> 01:29:14.359
of my favorite teams all the time, Well, we brought that up because

1268
01:29:14.720 --> 01:29:16.119
a lot of people saying, well, Florida took care of Boston. Of

1269
01:29:16.199 --> 01:29:19.800
course they're gonna take take care of
Toronto. Back then, the Kings took

1270
01:29:19.840 --> 01:29:23.039
care of the Oilers. Of course
they're gonna take care of the Canucks.

1271
01:29:23.199 --> 01:29:26.720
That's not what happened. The Canucks
beat him in five best fight DeLorme Mulvey

1272
01:29:26.920 --> 01:29:30.760
Chicago eighty two, awesome Chicago Stadium. Yeah, and that was the year
