the weekend? The weekend was good? Uh. Last night I was worried
you might have to take a snow day. There was coming down a white
rock, real hard last night twenty versus Fort Saint John. Back in the
day, I was scared, you were scared that I was gonna have to
take a snow day. Okay. I could go on and on about you
talking about how tough it was up at Fort Saint John and how you toughed
it out, but we won't. Now, the Canucks defeat the Ducks last
night two to one. We'll get into that game later in the show.
Nills Hoaglander with his nineteenth and we want to talk about Nils Holglander nineteen goals
all at even strength, so we'll go on about that. And the Canucks
were in La on Tuesday to play the Kinks, But let's focus on you
said you had a good weekend. How about Elias Petterson's wee cand eight years
ninety two point eight million dollars, the richest contract in Canucks' history, eleven
point six per I said that it was hard to argue with that. What
did you think? It was? Right around where I think Donnie we had
all talked about. We talked about eleven twelve million, he got eleven six
Kneelander that comparable played a role in it. But when did you say eleven
six? I didn't say eleven, I said eleven twelve. I always told
you eleven twelve, No, no, no, set twelve and a half,
maybe thirteen million, a year. They talked about four or five year
deals in the fifty five to sixty six million dollar range. Donny, that
takes you well over twelve by the way, anyways, So it was around
where we thought. Okay, but here's here's my thinking. And look,
all kidding aside and all seriousness, eleven point six versus what you were talking
about twelve five. Yeah, thirteen, that's to me, that was outrageous.
I never said thirteen. It was eleven or twelve. I think you
mentioned the number thirteen. Okay, So that mean if you agree to something
like that, twelve and a half thirteen like McDavid. Yeah, honey,
that's a that's a valuable bottom six forward you're talking about. Yeah, I
think, all things considered so that this is reasonable. And you know,
he's making a lot more than a J. T. Miller, and I
guess the market changes and all that. I guess I'll accept that. As
a long time observer of the Canucks eleven point six per they still have some
work to do, though there's there's Philip Paronic. They have to worry about
another RFA at the at the end of this season. I will, I
will, We'll get back to that in a second. I want to run
these clips because Les Petterson I thought during the post contract extension press conference came
across really, really, really well. He came across you know, he
was funny. He was trying to crack jokes. We haven't seen that before
from loose. He was loose as you paid get one hundred million dollar,
I was in your pocket or close to get. You get pretty happy and
you start cracking jokes. He seemed nervous, really humble. He talked about
how his parents were emotional, no kidding. I just thought he came across
really really well in the post extension press conference. And one of the things
he talked about was something that we talked a lot about last week, a
lot of people talked about, and that was him dealing with all the noise
he created by fans a large part by people like us, like the media.
How much effect do you think that had on on the deal getting done
sooner than we thought. I can't stress enough the noise in the market got
to a fever pitch and Donnie, I have to tell you, the noise
got to the player, It got to the team, The agents felt it,
everybody involved felt it, and that's when that meeting took place. Rutherford,
Alvin and Patterson at Rogers Arena and a side door, they had a
meeting. They got together and they talked about a whole bunch of stuff there.
It's it was like a perfect storm, Donnie, I call it.
That got these guys back to the negotiating table. They were never supposed to
talk till after the season, but all this stuff happened. The noise,
the Carolina offer. By the way, the Carolina offer was a lot more
serious than a lot of people will ever understand it was. It was a
trade offer. Yeah, trade offer. So all this stuff was happening,
and the management sat him down and said, hey, let's let's try and
get it done. They got it. They got it done. How about
this the fact, you know he scored fourteen goals in January? Yes too,
in February. Yes, And what about the possibility of everything that was
going on right so much, so much a part of the game is mental
affecting his performance. I agree with you, Donnie. I think it did.
The noise, it got too much, and I think all sides sat
together and said, hey, let's and now it's over with, and the
Canucks eliminate the noise. The player eliminated it. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa What he's making eleven point six million dollars a year. Yeah, you
have to start, not start starting next year, right, but he will
be. You have to live up to that contract, no question and off.
The noise is going to necessarily necessarily going to stop. And with the
big salary in the Canadian market comes expectations and he's going to have to live
up to him absolutely. Okay, I mentioned how well Atlis Peterson, not
that this is the be all and end all, but US media folks care
about this sort of stuff, how well he came across in that press conference
on the weekend. Here is Elis Petterson over the weekend talking about this is
after the contract was agreed to, talking about dealing with the noise in the
market. We've always heard that you don't like the noise, but in a
Canadian market, knowing your stature and what you mean to the hockey club,
obviously it was going to be a discussion point. It seemed to get to
another level this week. I know you try to focus on the ice,
but ultimately, how awhere are you of what's going on around you. How
much, if at all, did that play into you sitting here today.
I didn't hear anything. No, of course, it's been a long talk
throughout the year, and especially it's I mean, people talk. But I
was fine, it's always going to be noise. But I felt comfortable because
we continue having talks throughout the whole year with mansions, with my agents,
and yes, I've said I wanted to wait till after the season, but
it's continuing to talk with the management, my agents. We wanted to get
it done before. So an important part of any team that has championship aspirations
keeping that core together. So Dampco, Miller, Besser Hughes they'll be together
until Demko's contract at the very least until Demko's contractor is over in a couple
of seasons. Yes, just a real positive for the Conocks, Donny,
and they get certainty in the sense now you can plan for the future knowing
that you got your star player locked up, you got Miller at eight,
You still got some time with Huston. Demco Besser's around the corner because you
can start talking to him July first. But this Philip Paronic thing. You
didn't mention him in the core. But the rumors of the money he's asking
for sounds like he should be a part of the core. That that that
that one could get a little crazy. And you know that's interesting. You
think you didn't mention him in the core. But the way that I'm telling
you that, the way he's asking for the money, the numbers we're hearing.
I'll tell you one thing. You want to ask for crazy money,
you will outprice yourself in the market. And it just won't happen here if
you're gonna ask crazy money. Okay, the talk out there, yeah right?
Is that Philip Paronic made to man and he leads the Canucks in plus
minus. If I'm not mistaken, he's having a very good season. Is
it been perfect? Absolutely not. You can't say that about it, No,
Claire, No, But eight million dollars a year, Rick, No,
And I'll tell you this one. Oh yes, yeah, no,
no, no, And I'll tell you that Numberdy it would would he would
he want that much? Would he expect that much? Yeah? Well,
that's what the rumor is. And doesn't matter what player it has done.
If you outprice yourself like that, I can't see the Canucks doing that number,
that that's just uh that that that's a ludicrous number. Well that would
be at four yeah, you know, and he gets to play with Quinn
Hughes. Yeah, okay, Uh, but if you would have gone to
Washington or somewhere else, do you think he'd have forty assists like that?
But he didn't. He didn't, right, Well, okay, everything has
been very very mostly positive for him in Vancouver. That that eight million dollar
figure is out there, by the way, that would be more than Quinn
Hughes. How would that go They wouldn't go over Well, I wouldn't pay
him more than Quinn Hughes any And yet you and Ryan are okay with Lias
Peterson making way noise user and the Canucks gave it to Patterson by the way,
Donny, you know the Canucks they wrote, no one put a gun
to their head. They they they they they said, no problem. Here's
the check. M hmm. Let's get back to Elias Patterson from the weekend
He's press conference again. I just if you're a Cannuck fan, just the
way he came came across. And maybe I'm making too much of this because
I'm a member of the media. But I just thought he just looked so
overjoyed, and you know that sort of thing, to have that weight off
your your back. I realized there's other things in the game of hockey,
but to have that weight off your mind, off your back, it's just
a big, big thing. Uh. Elias Patterson having fun talking about helping
Patrick Alvin make decisions. Yeah, I know it's Uh, he's part of
the deal too. No, but no, you're the next assistant general managers.
Uh No, I'm just it's a little nervous, a little happy to
the or a little happy super of the day. I'm I'm as excited to
see obviously what the management can do, and so far, what they've been
doing ever since they came in. It's first off, building a culture,
a winning culture here for us to succeed, and doing renovations in the rink
and so on and so on. So like, everything is trending in the
right direction. And the more I saw it, I always wanted to stay.
But the more I saw it just made it even more clear. Let's
go back, well a couple of things here. Let's go back to the
boat interview over in Sweden, right with our friend Elliott Eli freed and what
did Petterson say at the time He wanted to see what kind of team the
Cannucts were going to have, because obviously that was that was a big question
absolutely him him agreeing to that deal, and a lot of people feel he
left and sort of why he left money on the table, you know,
and again in all seriousness, for him to agree to a deal like that,
that's a you know, that's a compliment to the Canucks, isn't it.
It is? And I want to say something else. Yeah, that's
a good point about you know, let's see if they can win. I
want to see something else. Don He never told his agents said any time
throughout this entire process that he didn't want to sign in Vancouver. The agents
were never told at any time, don't get it done in Vancouver. I
don't want to be in Vancouver. I want to be in la or Florida
or New York. He was never told, the agents were never told that
Elliots didn't want to sign in Vancouver. That is an important piece to it
all too now having said that, and things look pretty positive for the Canucks.
I know no one's going to plan a Cup parade given what happened in
February with his team or even the victory over Anaheim that's yesterday. Cox have
to hope and by the way, we're gonna have JP Berry. Yeah,
Elias Petterson's agent on the show. In the next segment. He's going to
talk about this. The cap it has to go up for the customer they
have to deal with. We mentioned Philip Heronic. Okay, Dakota Joshua is
going to be a uf A. Look how valuable it appears he is,
but doesn't appear he is. You want to get that guy back. If
if you're Jim Mudford and Patrick Alvin we mentioned Bess are coming up as well.
You know Demko's coming up. The other thing that's coming up Rick and
again hoping if you're a Kinnuk fan that that salary cap rises is Oel's penalty.
That's it. It goes up to two million next year, two million
plus next year, four million plus four million after that. That's when you
get the extra strength. Tylan all is when that Oel bio goes to four,
that hurts. That's gonna hurt big time. Okay, again, JP
Barry is going to join us in the next In the next segment. Okay,
before we forget, we want to bring this up. We're gonna switch
gears. More on e Lias Patterson coming up in the next segment. JP
Barry is his agent from c AA Sports. He's going to join us in
our next segment, and more on the Kannuck's victory over Anaheim yesterday. We
want to talk about Nils Hoglander Casey to Smith getting his first win since January
ninth. There's a lot there and we'll get to that later. But we
had span butenshawan on the show. Was that on Friday, Ryan, how
are you? By the way? Everything good? We had sp Button Shawn
on the show, head coach of UBC Men's hockey on the weekend, And
the reason we had him on is because the UBC men's hockey team and the
UBC Women's hockey team both played the third and deciding games of Canada West Finals
over the weekend at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Center. They both won.
They both and I wasn't aware of this and these are the women celebrate you
know what, Rick, that's our third Canada West Championship interro for the women,
so congratulates, congratulations to them. They go to the Nationals starting March
fourteenth in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Obviously a great moment. That game started at
three o'clock and this was going on all weekend out all week seven o'clock men
and then end up winning five to three over Calgary. The score on the
women's game, by the way, is four to two over Alberta. Game
three, best of three series, men winning five to three over Calgary.
That's the t Birds first Canada West title, says nineteen to seventy one.
Yeah, nineteen, first time in fifty two years, Donny. The UBC
men are off to the They won the Canada West Championship. Yeah. So
now they go to the University Cup National Canadian Championship in ten days. Yeah.
How big is that? Yeah? And back in seventy one they celebrated
they gave all the players puka shells and some bell bottoms. Well, and
you have these references. This is great news, right, Donny, because
University of Alberta's always that's a powerhouse. That's that's well, the women's team,
the UBC's obviously the powerhouse powers three years in a rosso. But for
the men, the University of LB, those guys usually come out of the
West. Great for the UBC to do it this year, going back to
the Claire Drake days. Here's what's coming up on the show, DTMZ is

total, is the richest contract in Canucks history. We talked about it in
the first segment. JP Barry represents Elias Petterson, NHL player agent from CIA
Sports, and he joined Now, JP, thanks for doing this, sir.
How are you? I'm very good. Good morning guys. I thought
Elis and yourself, we're gonna wait till the end of the season. What
happened? Yeah, you know, the best plan. I mean, it's
obviously a negotiation always has give and take and timing, and we talked throughout
and I think that was our original intention. You know, it's it seemed
like it it We didn't want to be a distraction, but the reality is
it became a distraction that we didn't want it to be a distraction also,
so I think, you know, we all wanted to to eventually get a
deal done, and it turned out that was the best time. Yeah,
so, JP, you're just confirming the answer to my next question. But
was the noise getting to Elias Patterson? I don't think it was getting to
Elias fully, but I mean it was, you know, he's also he's
aware that affects other people and affects the team, and it you know,
I just think, you know, we met him during the All Star and
had a and then we kept talking and about timing and how you know,
there's no such thing as perfect timing, and you know, at the end
of the day, I think, you know, it was one of one
of those things where both sides wanted we eventually get a deal done, and
sometimes the time dictates itself. I mean, if everyone knows the trade deadline
is a leverage point for teams, and teams want to get business done,
so we have to listen to the to the you know, most sides have
to listen to each other on timing that when you're doing these kind of contracts.
Yeah, you touched on their JP two goals in February for for Elias
was it was the whole situation affecting his performance at all. It's really hard
to say. I mean, obviously if you lay out the facts that maybe
it is. So, you know, I don't think his game has changed.
Anybody has to crank it up. I mean, there's ups and downs
with these players. I've seen it so not. I don't think anyone's panicked
that that he's going to play a lot better in the next little bit,
because he always has. But at the end of the day, I think,
you know, the timing comes into play and getting it done made some
sense. JP didn't take long to do the deal. I mean, you
know, I think Tuesday or Wednesday they met with Elis and all of a
sudden, four days later, you guys got an eight year deal. Talk
about the quickness. Usually these things take a long time. How did you
guys do it so quick? Well, sometimes you guys don't know what's really
going on. Tell us tell us JP. Well, there are like there's
always like we've been just been check in. There's overall discussions, like both
sides kind of understand the range in the market a little bit throughout through you
know, there was never silence between the parties. You know, the people
had contacted each other and talked, and then it was time to get into
high gear. And then we get into high gear and we've already had a
lot of discussions, so we had to you know, straighten out the term
and figure it out. And that's that's what happened over the last week.
JP. One of the reasons there was noise is the biggest fear in Banku
was a Kochuk or Gudro type situation. Did he ever say to you that
he never wanted to sign a Vancouver No. That's the whole point is,
unlike those situations, you have a player that wanted to that never had a
feeling about going elsewhere like he, It was only about it was only about
timing and distraction and perhaps the player's choice that it would be easier to do
this in June. I mean, at the end of the day, it
wasn't like a lot of those situations. I mean, Goodrow was going to
be free. I mean I was dealing with Pasternach last year. He was
going to be free. It's more similar to Kuchuk. But I think with
Kochuk, I think a lot of people felt he had decided he was likely
going to play elsewhere, which is not the same as Patterson. Jippy,
did you talk shorter term too, because we're in this mess because uh,
you know, he didn't sign long term like Quinn Hughes when he was supposed
to, and then he only signed three, unlike Quinn who got more.
Did you talk shorter term here? Uh? Yeah, No, I mean
shorter what like, what's shorter term? I mean generally with these kind of
extents. Since it's five to eight, and we talked about all those terms
because we always do when you but you know, you never really talk about
less than five when you're talking about this type of extension. But you know,
all those terms were discussed. But he had no control over the bridge
deal. I think the bridge deal was the team's preference. Last time JP
he talked about how much he loves living in the city of Vancouver. How
much did that play into his decision? I think it played a lot.
Like as I said, I think the fan base somehow because of all the
well, blame I'll blame the media a little bit. Like got the impression
that there was some doubt about him wanting to stay in Vancouver, and that
was just never the case. It was just really about him wanting to do
the contract at the end of the year and focusing on playing. But you
know, you know, obviously it became a little bit of a distraction.
He didn't want that either. I thought the media was always the good guy
in these situations. Not sure on this one, but hey, the other
things. What about the Carolina rumors last week, I'm sure you heard them.
Was there any substance to that at all? I mean, I heard
the buzz out there. I mean, I'm not surprised to be several teams
after them, but I mean it was out there. You know, you
can't as an easy side. You have to go out there and luck.
I mean, I'm sure there are teams out there that would love to be
able to talk to them about an extension. But I don't think anyone was
going to make a big trade without one. But it's possible. I've seen
these things happen on the trade deadline. But he wanted to stay in Vancouver.
I think, you know that's why he sat down and did the deal
that he did. There's the media again, Hey, JP, the Kanucks
have to deal with heronic there's to go to Joshua Besser at the end of
next season. I believe I've asked you this before, but it's a few
months since we talked to you. What are your latest salary cap projections?
Because yeah, there's the Oel buyout situation as well. You know, most
people in Vancouver field the cap has to go up significantly for the Caducks to
have any any hope of keeping this roster together. What are your projections?
What do you believe when it comes to the sellar. We're I mean,
we've got our finger scoffs, but we're finally optimistic that there's a fairly big
jump this year and next, and there's nothing out there that tells us that
we're not going to get for the first time, a fairly significant jump.
I'm sure the gms want more, but you know, it's been a very
tight cap frown for four or five years because of a lot of reasons,
as we all know. But I think the next two years it is opening
him up and that should help Vancouver maneuver a little bit more. JP.
You got a guy named Tyler Myers out here. He's having a good season.
He's a UFA. What's the plan with Myers JP. Yeah, I
mean Tyler. Tyler likes you know, he's always loved being a Van So
we'll see. I mean, obviously that's to fit with the team, and
you know, it's going to be a different contract than the last time.
We know that, but he likes being in Van. We'll see what all
their options are. He just wants to have a great playoffs get back.
He's a little banged up right now, but he should be back soon.
Years ninety two point eight million dollars JP, congratulations on that, and thanks
so much for joining us today. Hey, thanks guys, you bet,
thanks JP, JP. Barry NHL player agent c AA Sports, you nailed
it. Their rick with with Tyler Myers. That's next up, at least
that's next up when it comes. You're right, Don, Barry, Pat
Person and the Canucks. Yep, absolutely, you nailed it, Don,
And I think the Canucks want Myers back. I think there's mutual interests with
Myers and Vancouver JP the rest of the team. I think they will try
Donnie at some point to try and get that done. Okay, So pole
question next It has to do with man things. Things move fast, treaddit
deadline is coming up. On Friday, the poll question is going to be
focused on the trade deadline. Meanwhile, we talked about Eleas Patterson there and
we heard over the over the weekend. Liah's talking about how this played a
part in his decision, just how much he likes living in the city of
Vancouver. So as we go to break and get ready for the pull question,
here's EP forty on his love for the city of Vancouver. As we
go to break, I mean, it's a Sayble's hockey fan. We're passionate.
Also think like it's very similar to Sweden in some way, and that's
what I realized right away when I got over here. So it's always felt
like home here and always felt peaceful living here, so so non hockey wise,
I've always been happy living here. Able Auctions specializes in helping British Columbia

ca Monday Morning Poll Question of the day, Trade deadline March eighth, Trade
deadline Friday, Rick, Oh, that's the focus. How about whole question
of the day, that's you? All right, let's do it. Our
poll question the NHL trade deadline on Friday. What should the Canucks do this
week? Big trade? Little trade, no trade? And oh my sixteen
hundred votes already and leading the way. Fifty six percent say little trade.
But this is a week that the Canucks do a masterful job of sending out
mixed signals. You know, the only team that does that. Everybody does
it. Oh, we're not going after big name. And then you hear
they're going after a big name. Donny. I asked this morning if the
Canucks are in on Gensel and I was told that they're still poking around on
everyone because they don't want to trade a first round pick. So how do
you get a how do you get a big name without trading a first round
pick? Well, what you do is you put more prospects into a deal
that is a bigger name. But I've been told this morning that there's serious
interests from Vancouver on Gonzel. Well, when it comes to a big name,
lin Holm has worked out so well, why wouldn't you go after another
bigger name, lind Holme. There's concern there, I mean just from you
give up so much, Donnie, and the offense is not there. But
look at the last night seven percent in the face off circle. He uses
them a lot, he uses them a lot, but I mean he played
fifteen minutes on the third line last night. The offense ain't there. You
know, you gave up a ton. But they send mixed signals Canucks.
They do a good job of that. They tell you they're not in the
big name and now you're hearing they're pretty serious about trying to make something work
with the Penguins. And okay, can I just stop you right there.
You talked about prospects, draft picks, what they'd have to get give up
to get somebody of real significance. Yep. Do we draw a connection between
the trade deadline but Colson being called up. Yeah, that's a great point
by you, because all of a sudden, you know, he gets called
up, Baines gets called up for four games. I don't know if Pod
Colson is going to be here long term and is he getting a run for
the rest of the year done or is he just getting four games like Baines
as well, or is he being showcased? Is he being showcased? I
mean the timing of him coming up five days, six days before the trade
deadline is interesting. And then you hear the Penguins want and I think I
said this last week, they want two ready made young players who can play
in the NHL. Today. It's sort of like in Calgary when they got
Sharon gun Off, the young guy he stepped in. That's the type for
the Devils. Yeah, Sharon Govic. Sharon Govic for Tafoli. Tofoli is
another name that's popped up in Vancouver. But don Devils are trying to resign
him right now, okay, and Lacara Macki Vlander. That's not going to
happen. Those guys are off the table. But I am hearing so I
wonder if this plays into what's going on this week. But I am hearing
a Phil Castle decision could come down in the next couple of days, So
I wonder if this is all related. Send him to Pittsburgh, send the
Pittsburgh Well you gotta sign him first. But anyways, I'm hearing a Castle
decision. He's still in town. I wonder if it's all related deadline this,
That Castle decision could come down in the next forty eight hours. So
a trade deadline Friday, and we're going to extend our show. By the
way, it's going to be a two and a half I'm targing overtime.
A two and a half hour show will be off the air at twelve thirty.
Gets your agent. All of a clock, Ryan and I wanted to
go to one. Rick got his agent. You got the agent until twelve
thirty. I'm a fourth liner. I don't know those guys. You got
agents. Just finding out that we're going until twelve right Friday, we're doing
extra Yeah, but nobody, he just said, nobody. Guys, no
one tells me. Okay, I guess we're doing next you know, I
know we'll hear about it Friday when you blow your top finding out we have
to do an extra half hour. Okay, let's hit the highlights from last
night Anaheim, Vancouver two to one, Vancouver Victory Derek, We're good,
rock and Roll, Hot the Center, Anaheim, California. A minute and
a half in when he was making moves and setting up Neils Oglander his nineteenth
goal of the season. All those goals at even strength won nothing. The
cove Doux ch answer less than three minutes later, Max Jones attempt broken up,
but the puck finds its way back to Alex Colaurine Hay scores and does
STI wearing Ryan Kester's old number seventeen one to one in Southern Cal early second
period, J T. Miller takes the puck back to the blue line.
He will leave for Nikita Zadoroff. Not a bad idea. The door off
will locate Connor Garland. He dreaded Garland Zadoroff combination meshed Ripley Garland's twelfth two
to one visit. Little later, scramble in front Casey to Smith with the
denial versus Max Jones, and that's as close as they come. Cannocks edged
the Ducks two to one vancouret La Tuesday for Casey de Smith, remember the
Minnesota debacle, hadn't played since that his first win since January ninth. I
believe he went four games without a win, and he was relieved to get
that victory. Always good Donny to get some points from your backup goalie.
Okay, Noils Hoglander, let's talk about him. That's his nineteenth goal.
I just talked about that all at even strength. Rick, did you know
this? Oh, he has more even strength goals than Connor McDavid, Matthew
Kachuck, Brad Marshawn. There's a long list here. He is in the
twenties when it comes to like twentieth third, twenty first. When it comes
to average ice time for the Caducks, like Lafferty's getting more ice time than
the average ice time. Right, McKay is getting more ice time than Nils
Holglander, who's got nineteen even strength goals. What's in his future? Well,
and Donny very minimal power play time, I mean very minimal. And
you just mentioned mcav He has scored thirty one games done and he's in the
top six. So anyways, and then you wonder why you're hearing connus the
Canucks are in on Genzil. That's why they're in on Genseil. You got
a centerman playing in the top six on the right side, and then you
got mcav thirty one games, no goal, he's in the top six.
Meanwhile, this kid has come all the way from the fourth line, done
the fourth line. He was buried on the fourth line. He never had
Rick's trust defensively, but he just or bris Boudreau's trust and Budro's two.
And not that Travis Green played the heck of him either. But he had
a lot of jump last night. You saw him win a lot of loose
puck battles. He just tries. He's a working bee. His effort is
always his work rate is always high. Just how to see this kid get
success? Okay? Uh? Postgame, Rick Tackett on Nils Hogelanders performance,
which included his nineteenth goal of the season. Yeah, I thought Hoby is
one of our best swords. You know, he was maybe our best forward.
He was. He had some jump, kept the puck on a stick
a lot drove drove the their d wide. Not you know, I got
a bit. Hogy was really good. Not many turnovers from him behind their
net come up with loose bucks. So yeah, ho, I think Hogy
was a really good time. Yeah again his nineteenth goal. Uh, he's
fourth in goals for the Canucks and zero on the on the power play twenty
seven. He's got the Cy Young record here nineteen goals eight assist averaging.
I g said eleven thirty one in ninety one. Yeah, and I mentioned
that list of players that he has more even strength goals than Marshawn Kachuk,
McDavid d rece titles in there well as well Matt Barzel. His contract ends
at the end of next season. He's a bargain right now at one point
one a million dollars. Yet another person, Yet another player who's performing well
that they have to think about fairly soon regarding a contract. Yeah, but
he's not going to jump to six seventy eight million. I mean, I
know he's at one. He's gonna he maybe double. Don't want to raise,
He's gonna want to raise, Donny, But he's got to keep doing
what he's doing. But and again, remember he started out. Remember the
first day of training camp, Pod Colson and Hoglander were both in the top
six. Everybody was excited, this is it, this is it. They
both got sent well, Pod Colson got sent to the miners and he got
sent to the four. Holner spent his time in Abaspherd exactly exactly. So
here's my thing, Donnie. The Vancouver Canucks need Pod Colson to do what
a hop Lander did. They need him at some point to do what Hoaglander's
doing right now. Will that day come time will tell? Well, you
know what, when Patrick Alvin and Jim Rutherford joined the organization and eventually talking
and all those Pittsburgh people, and we still talk about this a lot.
Yeah, we talked about how the Penguins, like the Red Wings going way
back, did an excellent job. And I know the Penguins are having their
problems right now, the awful lots against Abington six six to one loss.
I realize they're having their problems right now. But they in their Stanley Cup
years, the last two Stanley Cups, they did this fabulous job before that
of letting their prospects percolate in Wilkesbury in the American Hockey League. And it
seems like, and you look at what hog Lander's doing now, it seems
like they're doing the same thing. Rutherford, Alvine alla Pittsburgh here in Vancouver
slash Abbasford with their prospects and there's some patients there and it seems to it
seems to be working well. Pot Colson is the guy, Donnie, He's
got to take a step like, hold Man, what did you think last
night? I mean everyone's raving about his energy, worked hard, backcheck all
that stuff. That's great, But Donnie Zero's across the board shots on goals
since so you know, as I want to see a bit more offensively from
them. But I mean last night, his pace was good. His pace
is better than it was in the NHL a few months ago. So the
pace was good last night. Everything was good last night with sorry Pod Colson,
but you'll want to see two more offense from a tenth overall pick.
Yeah, Like I say, one shot attempt. We're gonna hear from Rick
talking now on put Colson's performance. But one shot attempt in twelve minutes and
thirty nine seconds of ice time. Here's the head coach on Vasili put Coles's
return to NHL action last night. I thought Pods was pretty good. I
thought there's some good moments of holding onto pucks. You know, a couple
of systems stuff that he'll be fine. But I think for the most part,
if you can hold on the pucks, force get on the fore check,
you know, that's something that we're looking for. Pods, Pods,
Hogy, Hogy, all doing well? You know what they did last night
done. They did what they did with Banes. What I like is they're
bringing prospects up and not put starting them on the fourth line. Bain started
in the third line last night. Pod Colson started in the third line.
Show them some confidence instead of saying, hey, you're coming up and you're
starting on the fourth line. I like that. Casey the Smith, he's
a good interview and as you know as a member of the media, that's
how I great players. You know, the most important thing is how they
come across in interviews. Casey to Smith, a very good goaltender. Probably
very good interviews are very good goaldi. It wouldn't be in the NHL if
he wasn't a good goaltender. Here's Casey talking afterwards about his first win since
January ninth. I don't know if I've ever been so happy to win a
game like obviously personally it feels really good. Kind of got off the skid,
but you know, also the team, it's a huge win for the
team to start off this road trip on the right foot, you know,
after a couple of tough losses. It just feels really good in here right
now. Every team in this league is good. So that's a good win
for us. From your vantage point, What stood out about the way this
group was able to not only get the lead but protected there, particularly in
the third. Yeah, I thought we did the right things in the third
and as far as like getting a deep, good f three. We didn't
give them much off the rush. We didn't give them much at all.
But you know, the guys just getting the puck out, getting the puck
in. That was kind of the message in between periods, play the right
way and make them work for their offense. And I thought we did a
really good job of that. Coming off that Minnesota game, anything seemed good
for him, So he gets the win there. The other thing, I
know, we're running out of time here, Ryan, but the other thing
Rick talk had talked about is that his team has to do a better job.
He's talked about this for a few weeks now, getting shots on goal,
and he wants to see his defenseman walk the line a little bit more
right. And even if you're shooting wide, and we talked about that a
lot, just get the shots directed towards the net, maybe you get a
tip. He feels that's something they are getting a little bit better at but
they still have to improve work. Okay, all right, DTMs, is
it just me coming up in the next hour. Murt's going to join us
at the top of the hour to talk about the Canucks, the Peterson signing,
the win last night, all of that up next. Big Rye the
Twitter Guy, Donnie telling the team on check. Big Ryot the Twitter Guy,
brought to you by the Waddling Dog. Ready, Yeah, I'm always
ready. I'm always ready, Big Rather the Twitter Guy, Present by the
Waddling Dog. Pob the Dog your place for the NHL playoffs stretch. The
playoffs of course, right around the corner. We're into March now, next
month playoffs playoffs. The Dog is preparing early with a full TV upgrade that's
going to include twenty new screens, twelve brand new cable boxes along with the
NHL center ized package. You won't miss a single goal all spring long.
It's another reason why The Dog is the place to come, sit and stay
for the NHL. Can I just say something here, Delaney's okay, tarrying
Langley in Bucks. I have so many people calling me a hypocrite. Oh
so, because no, I've said eleven six is reasonable versus you know this
guy twelve five said thirteen. Never, That's what I was referring to.
If they would have done a deal at five, Darnie would have been over
twelve and eleven six. Last time I check, it's pretty close to twelve.
It's not far away. Big Rye. You are a bit wishy washy
on this whole thing. Fine, whoa, Okay, let's talk about Let's
talk about another sporting event that occurred over the weekend. On Saturday at BC
Place, the white Caps, Yeah, season opener, one one draw against
Reality against a Charlotte. Their next game is Charlotte. Their next you don't
know their last name. The full name is Charlotte again, Charlotte FC.
Okay, well, then say it's just such a lame Coppo. But anyway,
that's what do you think. Do you think they should go with names?
Yeah, they should Coppo the European from European traditional with the name,
go with the name. Yeah. Like, I hate to say this,
but it's North America. Like, what's a mishmash? I know one way,
I know, I know, but anyway. The white CAP's next game
is March twenty thirty against Real, but on Saturday, one one draw,
for the Caps. Ryan Roposo the one and only goal for the Caps in
stoppage time the first half, towards the end of the first half. Yeah,
so it's and it's a beautiful goal by Riposo. I think he was
almost he looked confident after the fact, but that thing barely squeaked over the
line. That didn't exactly, you know, get hammered back into the back
of the net. But they tie. Charlotte won one. The white Caps
dude a hair under thirty thousand fans BC place for their home opener. I
believe it's their biggest home opener in the fifty year history of the Bank of
white Caps. And of course it's the fiftieth season as well. So white
Caps kicking. They couldn't get twenty nine thousand for their first twenty eleven right
because empire? What did an empire hold anyway, twenty twenty twenty five?
No, no, no, no, empire was thirty two thousand one back
in the day, the new one. It was twenty four. It was
twenty four. You're right, twenty four, that's what it was. It
he's totally guessing, he is, no, no, I remember it was
twenty four. We'll look, Rick was tight with the engineers. But anyway,
the White Cats start their season off with a draw agent for the engineers.
And speaking of Real Salt Lake, I gotta show this. Did you
guys see the scene insult Lake? Look at this on the weekend? Real
the Orange Ball and l a FC And this is horrible for the podcast listeners.
So I apologize, but the Blizzard man and you know what the thing
was? Then this was all during the game. The game started, the
picture was clear. It wasn't like you know they started with. The picture
was totally clear. And then as the game progressed, the snow moved in
and you have the scenes you have here, and Donnie brings up the Orange
Ball as well, which was a smart play. White Ball might not have
been the best anything past playing a sport in the snow. You see there's
a lot of fans not there, so okay, but I'm talking about playing
sport. It's not empty. I see fans. It's not like it's totally
empty. It's watching. Would watching would be fun? See I I'll find
against the Green a big playoff game in the NFL, go wrong game with
Brady and the Ray Oh I love that. No, No, it makes
for great visuals, but the game tends to be there was a way a
great cup. You know what, It's all snowy and yes, fat fat
the game ends up and not like one of these gambling types. And I
know that's a large part of our audience. I realized that when they want
the period, if they don't want the period of the game, they don't
want the elements to decide game. I'm kind of in that boat. But
I just I just think it makes it makes for great pictures, great visuals.
Usually something wacky happens. It's entertaining. Some of the great cups,
some of the best great cups. Ryan had snow in it was it the
best great cups were there? Good endings to the Western Final, Cowy standing
in the snow, the whole game. It just adds something, It adds
something to the story. I don't know. Back, I'll go back to,
like, you know, having worked in broadcasting the television aspect, it
just looks fabulous. You tell me that you like Are you okay with the
generic quality of stadiums and weather conditions these days around the NFL and the CFL
not CFL, But you know, no, I'm not. I I like
looking at that old NFL film I can't get Okay, So then why does
the NFL put the Super Bowl in dooms every year? Because part of it,
No, they don't want the elements to decide the game. I get
that, but I just feel there's there's there's a layer of story that's missing
there without the elements. Right, Ryan, how do you not like snow
and football? Because, like I say, it brings the game down a
bit, and I want to see a really good game. The pictures might
be better, sure, but the game itself it ends up losing something.
Guys are losing their just stop right like right here, right here, a
comeback or just wackiness, unpredictability. That's what you want in any story or
any anything you're watching. I just I really miss it, I really do.
I thought that that looked great. Okay, if it's so, if
it's so uninteresting, why'd you show that? Now? Why did you show
it? And I show you that last you did send that to me?
Thank you, along with a lot of other things, including on Saturday night.
Uh but well, because and okay, that's a regular season game.
That's good pictures. I'm talking I said from the starn of this whole conversation.
Playoffs, playoffs, championship game, and then then twice then in the
sagment, are you the championship games? You have to, don't you all
of those things when the stakes are so high. I don't want it,
Sorry, I don't. I want it in the inside controlled I want the
best game possible. Anyway, let's move on. The pictures aren't as good.
I'm against it. So we talked about the white Caps. They play
at BC Place. The other tenant in BC Place besides the Boat Show and
Taylor Swift coming up later this year, the BC Lions. I have a
story with the ES connection that was broken over the weekend by Tom Pellisero at
the NFL Network. Oh right, yeah, yeah. Nathan Wurke re signing
with the New England Patriots. Of course, Urke claimed off of waivers by
New England earlier or this past season towards the end of it farhand with the
retweet here. Obviously the Patriots like what they saw a year ago, but
I'm still not sure this is the best situation for Rourke that widely believed to
be taking a quarterback hind the draft and potentially bringing in a veteran to mentor
him. We'll see where Nathan fits and then he had the shrug emoji so
far, and of course to join us later this week as he usually does,
so we'll get his full opinion on this. But I agree fully with
what he's saying here. I am a bit surprised. I'm also a bit
surprised that last year we saw a ton of quarterbacks go down with injury a
lot, and work didn't get plucked by anyone other than this waiver claimed by
the Patriots. Yeah. And by the way, the contracts nine hundred and
fifteen, I think the resign. Yeah, this one with the England is
that a bump? Do you know, Ricky? That is right. I
think it's a bump. Yeah, yeah, So good for him. He
stays down there, he's got to wait for his opportunity. When he gets
his opportunity, he's got to play lights out. Bottom line. Well,
I think that, you know, and I get where Frehand's coming from.
And you'll explain more on Thursday. On Thursday. Yeah, but we're talking
about an overhaul there with the coaching staff, and Mayo takes over that they
probably usually you know, anybody who has the endorsement, not usually, but
would be out the door. This to me is that I think it's a
it's a it's a positive sign. Again, what we'll see what far Ahand
has to say. And that's a lot of money and that's probably more money
than you'd be making in the CFL. Well it is. But at the
same time, man like, yeah, like the whole year you didn't play
one of the tics, Oh you didn't play, including by the way,
in New England when they had massive question marks a quarterback because they were clearly
off of I'm blinking. I think back Jones. They were moving on from
him, and he's still gonna get a sniff in game action there. I
just wonder he was. He was the Africans editor. You want to play,
you want to play games. Yeah, and and and if that continues
to happen down there, he'll get back here. Like a lot of other
prob the past. If he goes back to back years down there without a
snap in the regular season, he's in trouble. I would assume, Yeah,
I would assume. So coming up next we had to maybe Disneyland,
I don't know, maybe he's going to join us from the matter horn or
big thunder round overrated. Oh totally like it's kind of like a hitch thrown
around on that thing. It's almost violent. Anyway, we'll talk with Dan
Murphy coming up next from sports Nets Donnie Dolly the team I Check. Hey

Okay, maybe Murph dose, he doesn't know. Cannucks knock off the Ducks
two to one. They extend to Elias Patterson Dan Murphy joining us from Southern
California. Sports that Sports that dot C. Murph. Thanks for doing this,
sir. How are you now? I'm doing good. You know,
I'm only what a kilometer away from the happiest place on earth, So how
could I not be happy? Yeah? So do you go there? You
do you plan to visit there? Have you been already? Maybe not this
trip? I know I haven't been there for a while. And then the
last time I went, I want to see us about now five six years
ago, because Joe Thornton was still a member of the Sharks, and I
remember it was during the All Star break, and you know, as any
parent, you're you're just trying to make it through the day. And it
was the year that Thornton like at the beginning of the year. But he's
like, oh, he looks refreshed, he looks like he's in his twenties.
I can't believe this. Guys in his late thirties, maybe his early
forties at the time. You know, he's just he's reborn. Well,
I tell you today I saw him pushing the stroll around to intown. He
wasn't reborn. He was defeated as any other adults in that entire theme park.
And we looked at each other and we shared some misery. So I
don't think the career went downhill from there, all right, murv Hockey cannects
over the Ducks too one. How much do you think and again you know
Rick talking describe it as a grind game. I think that's the phrase he
used it. It was the most entertaining game in the world, but they
won. How much do you think and this didn't happen. I think it
happened once in February. How much do you think having two games between two
days between games helped the team yesterday, and I think it helped. I
mean, to me the game against LA last Thursday is guys looked tired.
I mean, Quinn Hughes looked exhausted. I thought Denco looked tired, and
it looked to me like it was the first time the season had kind of
waited on them a bit, and they played more games than anyone. They
played more games than anyone, so I think a little bit of rest help
them refresh. Quinn Hughes looked entirely different than he did against the Kings.
I think the underlying numbers were outstanding. In his favorite we had that usual
jump. So yeah, I mean, I think I hope they can use
this schedule now in their favor moving forward. There's a lot of home games,
there's a lot of days between games for practice and rest, because you
know, they've kind of been smooth sailing this year so far until really the
All Star break, and now you have teams that have to turn it up,
have to wrap it up to try to make the playoffs. And the
Canucks are comfortable right now, so they're going to need their rest and figure
out a way to match the intensity and the desire of some of these teams
that are really fighting for their lives. Murph nails Hogliner. Not the most
ice time in the world. He gets his nineteenth goal all at even strength.
He's got more even strength goals than the likes of but David and Marshawn.
What's he showing you with that limited ice time in very little time on
the power play? Yeah, I mean, I just love the way that
he's evolved, you know, and even this season, because you know,
earlier in the year he didn't get a ton of praise from the head coach.
The coach that I like some of the stuff he's doing, but he
still needs to learn, you know, my non negotiables, and you know
that always means Kenny defend. And let's not forget this is a guy that
you know, had some troubles with Travis Green, didn't really earn the trust
of Bruce Boudreau, so he was working on a third coach. I just
like the way he develops. I mean, in terms of the system that
Talkett likes, the for checking, the winning puck battles. He's a menace
out there. It's not tall, but he's built like a you know,
a fire hydrant. And I just hope that he's not one of the players
that's in play if they're trying to make a bigger move here in the next
four or five days, because you're gonna need, you know, for lack
of better term, cheap labor, cheap good labor. And he's exactly that
for this team right now. To produce that five and five. The way
he has has meant a lot to the team and I think, like I
wonder where this team would be without him in that third line, you know,
when Joshua was healthy for stretches this season, because they really did drive
the play it even strength. Dan, you're on the road with Patterson,
do you see a more relaxed guy in the last you know, twenty four
since him signing a contract. I mean, he walked into the rink yesterday
and I was standing there talking with Craig McEwen. Of course pr with the
Canucks and short hels was Aaron Thomlinson. He walked in. It's the first
chance I had to see him since signed a deal, and he seemed happy,
you know, like you congratulated him. He said, thank you very
much. And you know, he's a guy that always keeps his regardless of
negotiations. It kind of keeps to himself. He's pretty private. I'm not
going to say I know him better than any member of the media. There's
some text here and there, but surely he doesn't divulge anything to me.
But I would think that, you know, I had a tough time reading
this situation. I mean, when Frank dropped that there had been significant movement,
I think that was last Tuesday, it was kind of out of nowhere
for me. You know, this this contract just a he had been speaking
about it after the game against LA said, I'm just talking about the game.
You know, it seems very sensitive to him still, but clearly,
I mean, as Rick knows talking to the agents and you I think you
guys had Barry on today. This was a date, this kind of a
time of the season that they were working towards getting it done. And I
think that the fact that Peterson wanted to end any sort of distraction, He
wanted to give the team some clarity going into the deadline, some financial clarity
into the summer when they have, like what nine UFAs and two r phase
to worry about. You know, I think that says a lot about the
kid, And you know, he did look happy yesterday, but I'm not
going to say he walked around with a frown on his face. You know,
a couple of months after this, no kidding, Okay, the trade
deadline Friday? What does this team need? You know? We keep hearing
there in on big names, not in on big names, And now we're
hearing again this morning they're on in on Gensel again. What are you hearing
well? I mean, if it's Genseil, I wonder, you know,
is it not too expensive? I don't think they want the Lacara Mackie.
They don't want to touch vland Er. I don't think does that mean Eleas
Petterson part two is in play? Does that mean Pud Coleson could be in
play? And a pick? They don't have a first, they don't have
a second. I don't think they have a fifth this year. So I
think what they need is you'd love to get Gensel and sign them. I
don't know if that's possible. I think they do. I would focus more
on forwards than on defense. Yes, I think they need a little more
grit in that top six. I think Frank Vitrano would be a perfect fit.
But again, I mean repeat verbeat last year remember every one in Henrik,
he didn't get what he wanted, he didn't move them. Yeah,
he had a year left, so I think that they're going to be asking
a lot. But someone like a Vitrano, even Henrique. I think someone
like that that can play in the top six, playing the wings, because
if talk it is going to continue with using Lindholm as a three line center,
you really need to show up the wings, and I think that's where
they have to look with Sussi coming back. Of course, you would have
loved to have Tanab on the right side, but I would worry more about
having And it's funny to say because the team is killed at scoring goals this
year at five and five, but I still think you have to look at
scoring going to the playoffs. Hey Murphy, you mentioned Depko looking looking tired.
Not a knock at him, but I think most people would agree with
that understandably. So how important was it for Casey to Smith to get some
action yesterday and get his first wins since early January? Yeah, and especially
with the way the last game went for him. Wasn't his fault in Minnesota?
I mean all those five goals and I think it was important even talkat
said last night, for Casey to have a win like that, two to
one win with chances in the third, with it being a tight game,
just to show that his confidence can get back to where it needs to be
to play him down the stretch. The Canucks are still in a pretty good
position. They want to win the division. Edmonton is still on their heels.
But you know, as all the numbers show the people that look at
this stuff, the goalie that plays more than sixty games sixty plus going to
the playoffs is going to be tired. So I think that means they still
need to get the Smith maybe five more starts in the last night team to
keep denqu at sixty somewhere in that neighborhood. So I think it was essential
for him to have a good performance because the schedule is not tough for the
Canucks in terms of the spacing as we said, and the home games,
but you still need to find a way to get him in there. One
more Murph Ryan wants to know if the Canucks flew from Anaheim to la for
tomorrow's game. This is what we deal with. Like, I'm serious,
he wasn't hurt hopped on a bus last night. So from Anah and I'm
guessing that they would have been at the hotel at LA Live there probably in
forty five minutes I was living. We're still an Anaheim shorthouse myself, Greg
Shannon, Dave Thompson. We're gonna grab a car service here at I think
twelve forty and it's going to take an hour at that time. You just
got to miss the real traffic time, so I'm sure they would have got
there in about forty five minutes last night. Okay, thanks for clearing that
up, Murph above and beyond. As always, thanks a lot, buddy.
All Right, gent Cara, I appreciate it. Dan Murphy drew Sportsnet
Canucks Kings tomorrow in the wake of the two to one victory over Anaheim yesterday.
You did ask me you were wonder Ash and you've been to LA You've
been to Anaheim, and you did ask me. I should remember this.
I know you for both of you throwing me right Anaheim, Yes, Los
Angeles, yeah, play, we knew you under the bus and not under
the plane. All of these cushy athletes, I don't know, maybe they're
got a helicopter or something to avoid, like Kobe Kobe, didn't you take
a helicopter to games in LA from his house? Not bring that up anyway?
Anaheim, La, Ryan a plane? Really? Like I say,
to avoid the traffic. They can't send the traffic. Anaheim to San Jose,
working one hundred million. He's what we're going. Let's go away.
Listen. I'm defending France Oscar. Do you think he's going to buck up
for a plane. Believable. It's from Anaheim to LA and the plane?
Is there a plane? I don't be a ninety second flight. They take
flights from Vancouver to Victoria. Yeah. Aha, you might want to sit
this out. You're both sidlent. There's water in between the new city.
Hey, you gotta go over to Lagon at Disneyland. There's water in La.

Dolly the team on check. Dottie and Dolly. The team is supported by
Abeleauctions dot ca A closing your business where you can help? All right,
Just before we get to the pole question, de Landy's okay, tiring,
Langley in box blowing up Regarding Ryan's belief that the Canucks would fly from Anaheim
to la early, is it just me from chefswagger By Ryan's logic, shouldn't
the Canucks use a plane to fly prospects in from Abbotsford to Vancouver? Yeah,
we're back. Yeah. Also unsigned it's faster to get from Anaheim to
la And than it is from three to Vancouver. I believe there's a brief.
I've done the Anaheim to LA drive. I'm just have you done the
plane? These rich athletes, I don't know if they necessarily and it's nothing
to do with athletes. They are the Anaheim and the Kings that the rink
is literally what is it half in our forty forty five minutes away depending on
traffic. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure they get to the game. Well,
even even when they're in New York, they're not They're not flying,
you know, from the you know, a Rangers game to New Jersey.
It's it's all drive. That's a little different. That's way that's closer,
isn't it. I don't know, I don't know. I've done it,
I've driven it. But yeah, anyway, let's move on, Okay,
and I'm gonna remember this. No, no, everything before the show now
is completely on the table. When honestly, everything we even even talked about
this is from the weekend. We even have talked about this yet show this
there. Sho put it up this meeting talking about this. Yeah, Dolly
Wall's Saturday morning look with the rope, Elliott the hair like you roll out
of the first of all the Vancouver Canucks. What the hell are you doing
announcing this is seven a m. Doney, You know you're professional? Yeah,
he looked out there. I accidentally got up at six forty five for
the washingom break and then myself, yeah, good, we don't need to
but anyways, did you fly to the jet accident? And then I what
they got up for a washroom break at six forty five? And then I
got a text in, Hey, there's something going on with Pal. You're
actually in the washroom here. I never just speak, but this was at
nine ten. You're the freedman hair. Why are the Vancouver Canucks releasing this
news Saturday morning at seven o'clock? Well? What are you thinking? I
ripped into Jimmy this morning about that. Do you usually wear a rope?
I'm a robe guy, even when the pizza guy comes out. I bet
when the pizza got. If the pizza guy pepperoni, you just have it
as em me. If the pizza guy comes at eight or nine er movies,
Hey, I go to the front door with the robe. I'm a
robe guy. I love the robe, even with like normal clothes underneath.
No, if the pizza guy comes in nine or ten, I go to
the front door. Why the pizza guy, Because when you shower and then
you've just set up for the night and the pizza got, there's pizza coming.
I'm not taking a shower. I'm a robe guy. I wear the
robe all the time, especially in the winter. You should wear one here,
yeah, bring it in next time you're flying from l A to Anaheim.
You don't got a rope, You're not. I am a rope guy.
See there you go, right there, I'm not a robe guy.
Good robes are good in the winter. The winter, the robes are the
best. So what do you do in the summer? No, no robe
in the summer. You wear something else? Then? Right? No noking
pepperoni? Okay, away we go. Poll question makes sense? Poll question?
Here we go, Here we go. Trade deadline Friday, Rick all
right, here we go our poll question NHL trade deadline Friday. Who should
the Canucks? No? What should the Canucks do this? What should the
Canucks do this week? Little trade? Big trade or no trade? And
look at look who's leading for Rod? Yes, fifty six percent say little
trade? And uh, look at this, Donnie, almost two thousand votes.
Our votes have been going topping and popping. It's not stopping. Uh.
But uh, and you say they there's still interest in cancel. I'm
told to recap. I'm told this morning the Canucks interesting Gansel is serious.
Uh, they don't want to give up a first round pick. So what
you do in that case is you put more prospects into that bigger deal.
Top six forward is top priority. Done, There's no question about it.
They don't want to give up la Kara, Makian, Willander, those guys
are off the table. But who knows. The Canucks are sending mixed signals
all the time. Done one, they're not in a big name. Next
week, they're in a big name. Now we find out that they're in
on Genthil a big time this morning. So we'll see what happens. What
about when the skip the dishes? Guy I don't do skip the dishes.
I don't understand that. I'm not a skip the dishes guy, but if
the pizza guy comes, I definitely always always the rope business. Uh,

wistergolf dot Com. I mentioned the Whistler Golf Club. The guy in charge
up there, Al Christ Jobson. We just love the fact that he's been
with us since day one. He's the person who made me aware of this
story. And it has to do with German television. Okay. Before Super
Bowl fifty eight took place in Vegas February eleventh, German sports fans were hooked
on another game, glued to their television sets. American ice football roundbreaking event
stems from the creative mind of a gentleman by the name of Stephen rob with
two a's R double a B. He had previously captured the imagination of audiences
with ice soccer, and now he's moved on to American ice football. Here's
a taste, but in Loaf the skate river skatekl stickers avoiding its annoy saying
this pastans not Vegas. A'bat I should that's all. That's it spawn,
that's his a whole gun, that's his taunting. That's good in the NFL
and Panza oh son drifty good we still watch here. Okay, So what
would questions abound? Why not do it with skates? What are the shoes?
Like, where's the tracks? Well, I'm wondering if they know about
broomball shoesactly. But big TV ratings big audience held at the sap Arena in
Mannheim on Super Bowl Sunday. Four teams made up. I guess it was
a tournament made up of actors, soccer players, wrestlers, rappers, all
sorts of German celebrities. Interesting, I think I'd watched that. I would
watch it. Yeah, cheerleaders there as well. Well, it's fun.
Okay, it's just a whole lot of fun. And some of the things
that the announcers were saying there I couldn't agree with more. Yeah, the
only word I understood was taunting. He was taunting and he said that word.
Yeah, I heard shockingly. A lot of them slipped When you were
up north and it was a big deal. When I was in Dawson Creek,
was broomball played up there? They had broom ball league in Dawson.
I can't remember broomball. Yeah, it a game that didn't make a whole
lot of sense to me, but it was popular. There. You go,
big numbers, American numbers, American ice football coming to an arena near
you. All Right, birthdays, We've got a limited number of birthdays today.
Six. The line is set at five. Let's go a shot in
the dark. Wendy's Paintball and Casino with several locations throughout Western Manitoba. Line

All? Right? Here we go? Is it just me? But?
Do you think the Canucks are showcasing Pod Colson for a possible trade this
week? Rob and Victoria we talked about this earlier. Yeah, And I
didn't think coming into the office today that I thought he was just getting a
look like Baines did. But now that you're hearing that the Canucks are still
in on Gansel Donnie, it makes you wonder. It makes you wonder would
Baines be a trade ship? Well, anybody's a trade yeah right now?
I mean there's nobody down in Absford. I think there wouldn't be. This
is not an and is it just me? But we thank MBA, Raj
and other people. A gantry crane is a big concrete form commonly used for
bridges, et cetera. Oh so put that in your pipe. Smoke k
it, Derek. You thought it was a gentry crane. We're just ripping
each other left and right all day long. So gantry crane is a thing.
I learned something today and I looked them up. They're expensive. They
are expensive. You can tell by looking at that phone. They're majorly expensive,
available at able auctions. Do all right as a loyal Canuck fan since
the Western Hockey League Bestor's lack of speed and grit doesn't come up slower than
the Sadine Twins. Uh. He's got thirty five goals, Brock. I
will take the thirty five goals and any day of the week you can go.
Here's what makes me mad about when people rip Brock's speed, they never
give him credit for his hockey sense. Donnie. He is an incredible hockey
mind. His hockey sense is huge. He's on the power play, he's
in the top six. He goes to the right ears the ice. Look
at those two power play goals where Miller's had him up. He got into
the open space both times for Miller to give him the pass and then bang
bang back of the net. You cannot teach hockey sense. Brock's got it.
Yes, he's not the fastest guy in the world, but my my
lord, take the thirty five goals. I don't care if he's not fast.
Well, that's very true. Also, I think what a lot of
people don't realize this, This is my opinion. Yeah, but I think
he's more of a Rick Talcket type player than you might think. Yeah,
in that where everything you said, I think he is an underrated playmate maker.
But he's also good along the boards. Yes, yes, he's also
along the boards and in front, in front of the net, which you
might not think of when you first thing that comes to mind with Brock Besser
for anybody who's followed his entire career is he's shot, but he's playmaking and
in his ability to win battles along the boards. Uh, you see his
ice time talking likes that that type of player. And what does this say
about Brock when what does it say about a guy that's not a great skater,
but he's got thirty five goals on You don't have to be the fat
how wasn't a great stub. There's a ton of guys not not comparing him
to Brad Hull. I'm just saying a ton of guys are in great skating,
but you've got to bring something else to the table, and he does
with hockey sets and good shot. Howard by the dog. Is it just
me? But times have changed and NHL players don't make enough money these days.
Back in the day right there? You know I'm liking this submission from
from Howard when you use the phrase back in the day, back to my
vote. My wife stood in line to get Joe Sakic's rookie card signed,
but didn't constant anything to do. So our friends at Pastime Sport are making
Dakota Joshua available. I can't remember the day, March tenth. That's the
way it goes these days. Yep, absolutely big time. But I do
remember well on several occasions asking for autographs and no problem, can I bring
up one? Is it just me? Or is there potentially a doppel ganga
for Lias Petterson? Our check graphic designer Dave like Mannick, He's brought this
up to me before and today he said it to me again. And this
is going to be the second mention of Pizza Guy on the show, The
Pizza Guy from Home Alone. Oh, Gosha and Eleas Petterson remember him.
I remember this Pizza Guy from Home Alone you had, but you came to
my house and I can see it there. I can see it for sure.
Yes, that is very good show. That is very close. So
thank you for that, Dave. Yeah, I remember that kid in the
Home Alone. Yeah. Absolutely, Well, it's a second Home Alone mentioned
it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Because it's Captaine Harris's birthday and somebody
has pointed this out in the Delaney's Okay, Tying Langley in box Is said,
is it just me? From Eric in New West? Is it just
me? But hey, Donnie, you missed Dick Irvan's ninety second birthday today,
Dick, I guess. Jeff Merricka talked about it on his shows What
was He ninety two? Still is? Yeah, happy birthday. Dick Irvan
big part of Dotty Hockey Night in Canada back in the seventies and eighties.
Dotty eh I said Donny. What I say you called him Dottie? I
said Donnie, old school woman's name. Dottie's ninety second Donnie. Or do
what I say. We're moving on. We're moving on, moving on,
moving Okay, but can I just say Danny Gal then and Dick Irving doing
Montreal Canadians games a big part of my childhood hockey night in Canada. It
was magic And of course Dick Irvan's senior, very successful NHL coach. His
father was. He won Cups with the Montreal Canadians. Dick's dad. Okay,
look at this one. I'm very concerned about Lindholm. He's not a
spark plug. You know what. PD is way too inconsistently. He's the
one dragging the team down. Don't count all the lousy passes last night.
He'll not have hit one hundred points. Mike Dt in Colonna. Lind to
him is interesting to me. Don fourteen games, six points. He's great
in the face off seventy seven percent last night, but man, he's not
bringing the offense. It's going to make the Canucks think about signing him to
an extension. I mean, if you want big bucks. And the rumors
he turned down eight million a year in Calgary. You got to bring you
got to bring some more offense. He might be regretting that. And you
know he's got to two goal games. If I'm not sas taking first game
he he got two goals Carolina got People are thinking, oh, they stole
him in it. But I will say this though, Rick Talckett is still
giving him lots of ice time and playing him late in games that you know,
like laughing too one lead and they have him out there late. So
but is that worth eight million here? I'm not so sure, PLoP.
Is it just me? Or does Rick answer the door wearing a robe and
a high towel carrying two pillows? What happened to the high towel High Towel?
I talked to hotels buddy Gary up and Prince George last week. I
did High Toel is a private joke between us. It was a real story.
But I talked to high Toel's good friend Gary. You had a friend
named high Towel. I had a friend. Well, we forgot about the
high tell story. It gets me all working out move anyways? Is it
just me? Or I love the soccer snow just like all minor league soccer
played in the Lower Mainland. Dougie, Dougie, you know, I think
one of the things was snow. You have a football game in the snow.
We played in the snow with a football, You and I, not
you and I, but back at you know the kids everyone would love playing
in the snow. High towel would play this stow every once in a while.
But I always found that I never got hurt in the snow. Yeah
you hit the ground, you a slide, Yeah, little thing in Confederation
Park and in Burnaby. Okay, there's a preparation h reference here. We'll
we'll move on for what do you got back in the day? What was
a typical Friday night? A bathroom, pizza delivery and Red shoe diaries Harvin
Steveson for you Red schewe diaries. Was it was obviously it was after midnight,
but it was pretty big back in the day. Don't We're gonna focus
on the robe seating capacity. By the way, this is off the subject
of is it just me? But what did you mention six four three three
sixteen thousand and four to thirty three nothing? The seating capacity changed through the
years that started at fifteen thousand and thirty eight for their first season or the
first season in the NHL was fifteen thousand, five hundred and seventy. Fifteen
thousand and thirty eight was back in the Western League days now at sixteen thou
two and eighty one from two hundred and six. I'm gonna I'm gonna text
Arthur GRIFFISKI got oh you got it or you google. It's on the Wikipedia
page, so it can't be wrong. I'm gonna text Arthur and I'm gonna
get them. Arthur knows. You don't think Arthur Griffiths knows the capacity at
Pacific col Sever course he does. But you were so sure, you know,
I'm one hundred percent convinced it was sixteen thousand, four thirty. You
know which one I remember, Like they've it's changed through the years. The
one I remember, Sellout, Donnie, it was only sixteen four thirteen.
Sell nothing's mentioned here sixteen thousand, one and twenty three. I remember sixteen
one two three. I remember. Okay, okay, now we're getting closer.

was sixteen four to three three. Arthur Griffiths just texted me maybe somebody could
explain this to me. From eighty three to eighty nine, Colisseum capacity was
sixty five five to three. It went down down after to sixteen one two
three the number I remember, and then up a little sixteen one fifty,
but less than sixteen five five three. Somebody out there knows something. Something's
going on, a lot of numbers up and down, but nothing nothing six
four four three, like you mentioned, whatever, the number was sixteen four
three three. I remember that number again another Is it just me? By
any chance? Yeah? I do? Uh Hey listen, Nick from VIC

the smallest guys on the team, m Hildglander and Garland. That's right,
