Hamilton on Sunday. They're opening the Upper Bowl for their next home game,
which is Saturday, July thirteenth against Sketchwan. Lion's off to a very good
start despite the season opening loss in Toronto. They're three and one. And
I'm bringing this up because yesterday, and we talked about this a lot.
Yesterday, Cannucks released their twenty twenty four twenty five schedule. The NHL released
its entire schedule, of course, that included what the Canucks will be up
to next season. And it all starts for the Canucks October ninth a,
Wednesday, at home against Rogers Arena. But I'm gonna jump ahead here,
Okay, hold on against Calgary. What I say against Rogers Arena against Calgary.
See, you were already, You're already on your jet airliner and Andre
and Steve Miller that's by tie. Whatever else are you going to do this
summer? You're just gone. You got one foot out the door. There
you just sit there and pick out new music for our Shoty okay, I
successfully did that. No, you had our help. Well, because you're
very particular, Rick, Rick just went sure, but you well sorry,
you are host slash artistic director of Donniana. Yes. Hey, look,
just so people know we are changing. I don't if we're going to change
the twek we're gonna tweek. Can't tweak a few things. Tweak, tweak.
We get worried about things getting stale, getting stale, stale, and
me I'm losing about I'm worried about losing my mind. So you got the
Knucks against Rogers Arena at Rogers Arena. I think Rogers Arena would win that
game. So Canucks Calgary October ninth, Jump ahead November seventeenth. It's this
Sunday, five o'clock start against Nashville. The Canucks have a home game up
against the Gray Cup at BC Place, which the kickoff will be around three
three thirty. The hell are they thinking? What are you? What is
going on here? Do the owners of the BC Lions and the Vancouver Canucks
not talk? That's one and clarity they don't. The other thing is Brian
Burke ran the Canucks. Uh. He was aware of everything in the Lower
Mainland like Brian was. The Canucks call Brian and far Ahead tells the story
of the BC High school championships. And Brian would go to the NHL and
say, hey, look, these kids are playing. Let's have a game.
The next day or the day before, we recorded an interview with farhand.
He makes You're going to tell that story in our next sect. Yes,
okay, but I want to bring it up. And I do remember
Brian Burke working with all the other teams. You don't remember stopping you heard
you were reminded of it. No, Brian Burke was very community stop at
Ryan stop it. He used to talk to the what's it called the schedule
makers, No, the cities when they had their meetings. Uh uh,
city planners, no city meetings. He'd go to meetings with the you know,
I'll get the word. But anyways, you really bang up on this
story. You remember, Hey, let's just stop Brian once again. The
Kunnuck's playing Rogers Arena. Rogers are October ninth, let me finish. Brian
Burke was very well aware of all the other teams in Lower Mainland. He
was very community minded. You know he was city officials, no city officials.
He used to they had some meetings he'd go to every Monday morning or
once a month. But anyways, Brian, I'm telling you, Brian Burke
would never allow this to happen. The Vancouver Canucks having a game at five
o'clock, the Great Cups in Vancouver at three, Like what are you thinking?
Like what? It's ridiculous, It's stupid, and it's dumb, dunny.
It just doesn't make any Why wouldn't you help out the Lions and say,
okay, well we'll have a gain. And by the way, the
Canucks have four games three or four Great Cup week a Great Cup week,
which is fine. I don't care about that. But to go up against
the Great Cup, not even and not even have the game at seven thirty,
but to go actually up against the Great Cup. The Great Cup's gonna
be fine, They're gonna They're already over forty thousand in sales. But you
gotta think that the people involved, what that's gonna be, Parking, skytrain
everything I've talking about the customers. But do you not talk to the Lions
or do the Lions not talk to you? And you guys do you have
to talk to the Lions. You can take a look at the CFL schedule
and figure it out. Just it makes no sense on any level. Help
each other out. The white Caps, Lions, Canucks. You're all in
the same boat. You're all looking for the same advertising dollars. You're all
looking for the same audience sports fans. You are all in Vancouver, Vancouver
giants as well. They all work together in white Caps. Yeah, and
the white Caps too. But I mean to do this to the Lions just
as absolutely makes no sense on any level, done any level. So you
wonder how much this had to do with the NHL saying this will be your
date or you're gonna play the seventeenth. Obviously they're involved. Look, it's
early, so can they move the start time? No either to what do
you mean you think you see it all the time? A second, you
honestly think the Canucks are now going to move it even if they get heat.
Well, they better better to move it now than the sixteenth of November.
If they didn't care enough to schedule again, all the building wreck right
done. If they didn't care enough about the Lions to say, hey,
the great cups here at three o'clock. Who cares, we're gonna we're gonna
have a five o'clock start. If they didn't care about the Lions in the
first place, they're not going to care enough now to move the game time.
Done. Give your head a shake, Give my head a shake.
Why would they change it to move the start time from let's say five to
twelve to to noon or maybe even a little bit later. Yeah, but
you talk about the customers, you think that'd be better. Why were they
day? I'm spitballing right now. Maybe they can move the date. They
have a game on the nineteenth against the Rangers, right, But even if
they know that there's a there's an open date on the eighteenth. But even
if they announced to WRO, wasn't. So. You see it all the
time when you have a team that makes an unexpected playoff run or a playoff
run and all sorts of sports, and you know another team will we'll move
it to the Red Sox and Bruins say the Red Sox, we'll move there,
move their start time. But what better to get on it now than
then later or not at all, which is apparently what you guys want,
not what we want. That's what we think is gonna happen. And by
the way, if they don't, don't I don't disagree with that. Even
if they announced it tomorrow that they moved the time, it's still there's still
there. Should not be the game, Yes, there shouldn't be. We
all agree on that. How about being a good corporate uh partner in the
Lower Mainland with the BC Lions instead of going up against them, like,
this isn't Calgary or Edmonton or Seattle. This is Nashville, you know,
I mean Nashville. Are you really going to pit Nashville up against the Great
Cup in your city? Unbelievable? Well, look, Nashville will be a
draw here for sports fans. You forget what they were up to after this
week. But with Stampcoast and Mark or So and Luke Shan coming back into
town he's been there for a while. But isn't it the lesser of two
evils? Like or do you just stick with the fire o'clock time or to
say, okay, well we'll do our best and we'll make it at twelve
o'clock start. Well, like I say, I still think all perfect,
but it's better than what they have now. All the transportation issues you're bringing
up, they would still exist, right, It would still be a problem
because then you're gonna have the Canucks game potentially ending right as people are trying
to get into BC places for the Gray Cup, Like, there's no way
to get around it, even if even if the Knucks move them when I
have seven, but if they wait the other way, if you're like,
if you're somebody, okay, forget about the people you shouldn't, but forget
about the people going to the game at home. Cannock game starts at twelve
lions in the Gray Cup. A lot of people hope for that starting at
three three thirty. That would that not be a better situation? Of course
it would. Yeah, But I this is one of those times I don't
really care about you guys, like clicking in on this. This is one
of those times I don't care about the people at home. Really, well,
what are you going to be because they don't have to worry about road
closures and packs, skytrains and parking and right, that's a great. Okay,
we're arguing over I think we all agree, well, why is the
game on the seventeen? Yeah, why we all agree on that? And
by the way, We're getting a few other people bringing this up, and
people brought this up yesterday too. The Canucks play, I know, this
is a different scenario. The Canucks play two of the three nights. Taylor
Swift is at BC Place as well, and that's you know, jammed to
the rafters. So like parking and headache, you canna argue though it's a
different Okay, that that is a different audience. It's a different audience,
but like again, like why would you have two games on a weekend?
But it's it reeks, sorry Rick, but it wreaks of arrogance. It
does in difference in arrogance, like where the Canucks will do whatever, well,
we'll do whatever we want. We don't care that the BC lines are
hosting the Great Cup. It just is is it's unbelievable that surely, and
maybe it'll be rectified. I doubt it. They would they rectified if they
think it's a mistaken. If they don't think it's a mistake, it's not
going to be wrecked. How that went. And they didn't even care enough
in the first place to book up against the Great Cup. You think they're
going to care now? Not a chance. November seventeenth Gray Cup at BC
Place, Nashville, Predators at Rogers Arena to take on the Canucks. It's
early. Do we give them the benefit of the debt at this point?
No? Do you think that they didn't know the Great Cup? Did then
Lions not? No? I bet they didn't. I bet the Great Lions
announced a Great Cup in Vancouver about a year and a half ago. I
mean, come on, I bet you didn't even answer their heads. Let's
move on to another area here. Did you have something you wanted to add
right? No, I did see that they announced a Great Cup two years
ago. They didn't ask the date. I'm trying to figure out when the
actual date was announced, but we knew two years ago that it was coming
here in November. The other thing I want to bring up to did you
notice when the Canucks as I continue to talk about the Canucks giving them,
you know, free advertising here, which they don't seem to appreciate. By
the way, I don't think that's a story for another day, but did
you notice on all their releases yesterday when it came to the release of their
schedule. Maybe we could show this from their website, Ryan, everything is
with them in the Flying Skate jerseys, the black Flying Skates. Well,
it's kind of strange that they make this major announcement regarding their schedule which includes
November seventeenth home date against Nashville and everything's in black, red and yellow in
the Flying Skate. Is there something that we don't know? Is this a
hint? Are they going to go full time with that jersey? I think
it's a hint. It's not the reason why. I say it's not because
Fanatics just did their big announcement with the jerseys the primary jerseys for all the
teams, and there's the Cudocks, blue and green. So why are they
doing this then? Right? I mean I don't maybe they might still go
heavy everything they did yesterday. That's a big announcement. To use that logo
and those colors is at the very least really interesting and doesn't mean that they're
gonna go full time with this. I think what they got going now is
pretty successful. Right where you've got the third jersey, you bring it out
every once in a while and it pops and it probably sells. If you
go to that look full time, does it lose some of its luster?
I'm not sure. Yeah, apparently the Kings and the Ducks were allowed to
change because they're what would you say, submission or whatever you want to say.
Plans were already rolling before Fanatics talk it over. So that's why they're
allowed to do what they're doing. But I heard I'd heard that Fanatics wasn't
allowing teams to change their primary look for this upcoming season. All the draft
picks on that that were there in Vegas over the weekend all put on the
blue and green. Yeah. So, I mean, I just found it
interesting yesterday. I'd be pretty surprised at this point if that was to occur.
But is it. I mean, maybe it's just because it's the most
popular jersey. It is, it's no question, the most popular jersey.
Yeah, it's it's funny. Well, I shouldn't say this because they chang
from the red, blue and silver to the blue and green, which was
everybody love that, love that move. Yes, but nobody's asking to go
back to that the blue and green that everybody wanted that at the time.
But I just it's funny because when the flying skate was being used full time
by the Canucks back in the day, it was I don't it was not
as popular as it is now, and I'll tell you why, because it
back then was still standard deaf old time TV. It pops now, it
pops that that color combination pops like the blue and green doesn't. I still
like the blue and green, but it doesn't pop like that does. Just
just interesting. In the meantime, do something about that November seventeenth date Francesco
and I know he watches this show. Well, people are bringing up the
point that, you know, sports Net five o'clock Sunday, sports that might
have had to say sports Net clearly doesn't care about the Great Cup. Very
true, soul, trust me. But again so the but then then that
does fall on the Canucks to say, guys, we know what you want.
I get that, we'll play another Sunday. We can't do this or
movie. How about seven thirty everyone leaves and you know they're gone. But
again, I think for TV though right eight o'clock Eastern, five o'clock local,
they don't want that game. It's just amazing. How and I know
this, and we all know this, we all worked for corporations before.
How much they care about what the public thinks about them, They care about
their public image. If this is indeed the case, and we saw what
happened to us at Bell. Let's start again, Let's start a story for
another day. We've gone through that story before on the show. But then
they make moves like this, but just what are you doing? Like?
People hate this? It's a dumb move. It just it smartd people that
I think. You know you want to help the BC lines out. You
don't want to be an enemy at the BC Lions. But do you feel
like the teams here have ever really done a lot when Brian burd here,
Brian, this is symmetry like I do in Boston or other places where.
And I'll see it again. And I'm going to get that catchphrase where what
meetings Brian used to get. I'm working on it. I'm going to get
it. Someone's gonna give it to me, can't I can't wait for that.
I'm going to get it. We've gone holidays tomorrow, I'm going to
get it before we go on holidays. But Brian Burke was much more community
minded. He cared about the Giants, the Lions, the white Yes he
did, and good on Brian, and he did, You're right dead he
did, he did. But I think the difference is is that in other
cities like Boston, Red Sox, Browins, Celtics, Patriots, and you
could argue that it's believed they're all on the same level. The four major
sports, the Connects are the big big all due respect to everybody, the
big big dog here. But if you're doing this too bad, But about
that, that's the perception out there. But about being a good community partner.
Yeah, so then it's on you to be the big dog to also,
you know, shout out the life with a big playoff game, and
the white Caps did a big playoff game, and even the Giants for that
matter, in a big playoff game. I never see symmetry like that.
The perception out there is I'll go back to the word again, arrogance and
the other word indifference with the Canucks and maybe with sports then as well.
Well, but hold it a second. You talk about arrogance. They've had
one good year in the last fourteen years done. I mean, it's not
like it's been they've been super duper great. Well I know that, okay,
but but rick are they are they popular or not? Yeah? They
are spite all the lack of absolutely and you know, and Arthur Griffiths.
When that family owned the Canucks, there was a game you step today.
I'm telling you when Arthur owned it and his dad, it was a community
feel too. When Brian Burke was here, it was a community feel.
And you know what this tells me, always tells me, it's not a
community feel anymore. We got to move on. Here's what's coming up on
the show, DTMC. Is it just me coming up in the eleven o'clock
hour. Louie debrasqu is going to join us just after eleven o'clock Sportsnet analyst,
former NHL enforcer, his connection to the bank of a Canucks trick.
His son, Jake is a new member of the Canucks. Yes, so
we'll talk to Louis about Jake, and he can also tell us about because
Louis does the Oilers games on the network. We just talked about sports Net,
he can tell us about Dejarney. That's right, absolutely, what I
know? What do you what do you sound like a nineteen seventies FM DJ.
Why? Yeah, a Wolfgang member Wolfgang. We'll do that Wolfgang,
Wolfgang amadeas Mozart the DJ Wolfgang back in the seventies eighties. You don't remember
a Wolfgang. He's our next guest. Okay, LGFM, what was it
LG seventy three? That wasn't FM? No? I know? Moving on?
You mean Wolfman Wolfman Jack? Wolf Was it Wolfgang or Wolfman? Wolfman
Jack? Never worked in Vancouver. There was a famous DJ back in the
seventies. Was it Wolfman or Wolfgang? Wolfman Jack? Wolfman Jack? Who?
He goes back to the fiftiesfties, he was good. You gotta get
some Wolfman Jack. Hey, Hey, the guests who clapped for the Wolfman
song, big hit, Moving on, Big ride. The t couter guy

us now from TSN, joining us from a cruise in Croatia. Have I
got that right? Farhand? Stop number one was today and do grove in
Croatia? Did you say that? Dubnit? Yeah? Very close. We
we'll drop a bit, no problem, all right in the neighborhood department.
Won't have an issue. There you go. It's it's close. And then
tomorrow to tomorrow to Montenegro, a couple of stops in the Greek Islands,
and then some time in Italy. Wow thumbs up, thumbing down. It's
like, oh it's spectacular. I mean, you know, when you get
to this part of Europe, which and I haven't been in a long time.
Last time I was in Europe was probably the twenty twelve Olympics, and
you know, just a history, right, I mean for us, you
know, we don't know building more than one hundred years old or one hundred
and fifty years old. When you can get out and just see this level
of history, and you know, I've had a chance to do it before
and I still remember it, but my kids haven't. So it's pretty cool
to watch them, you know, my daughter especially just kind of big eyed
wonder with just all the amazement. It's it's a nice thing to be able
to do. We get laid off by Bell and uh obviously their paychecks or
everyone's suffering in our industry, and this guy's in Europe. It's called true,
it's called it's called travel points. That's pretty much all right time for
the points. I just blew them all on this trip. I don't know
if you're getting sense of this on your yacht, but how big is euro
over there? Can you put that into words? Oh? It's massive,
you know. And my my kids have their German passport because Mary's half German.
So you know, every second year my son pretends he's German and and
gets a jersey and gets right into watching Germany, whether it's Euro or the
World Cup. So we're living that. We watched Germany play the other day
when we were unfortunal at a pub, and everyone's into it. I mean
they're showing it. They're showing the games. You know, on this cruise,
they're showing it. Everywhere you go. There's Euro signs everywhere, and
you know, whether your country is in it or not or has been eliminated,
you're you're fully invested. It's it's everywhere. You can't miss it.
Okay. I don't know how much you're following this or for Croatia. But
the Canucks Debresque Heinez True de Harney. Are they an improved hockey club today?
No, I don't think they are, but they're not worse and they're
probably more efficient. Right So, you know, if you look at not
having Lindholme and replacing him with Debrusque, you know they're gonna miss Lindholme on
the penalty kill, They're gonna miss his face offs, you know. But
for the most part this year he wasn't a real big impact player until they
got into the playoffs. Debrusque is somebody they need to play on Lilias Patterson's
wing, so you're gonna see him have an impact next year for an entire
season that Lindholm just wasn't in a position to have because they didn't have him
for more than half the year and then he had the injury and all of
that, so he wasn't really a guy for them until the playoffs. So
I think the debrusk signing is good. He's twenty seven, so you know
you can handle a seven year deal to spread out the avy. So I
think it's a good deal, and I think it's a need fit. They've
got some bigger bodies on the back end, but I don't know that any
of them are as good as a door off. But again, you know
you're not investing a ton of term, you're still able to get some of
those bigger bodies that that Rick talking likes to play with on the back end,
so again, I think they're more efficient. I think Danton Heinen is
going to be a good player for them. He's going to be a you
know, a solid middle six guy. He's had to really work for his
contracts the last fo years and he's lived up to him. And we look
at a guy like Sherwood, who you know, I thought was really noticeable
in that series against the Connects with his physicality. So I think there's gonna
be a lot of guys that they're going to be better in their bottom six
because they're stealing significantly better. I don't know, but you know, I
think debrusk Is is a much needed piece when you knew they weren't going to
be able to get some of those other guys because they stuck with their original
teams. I think they made the best of the situation. So, you
know, are they they're certainly not worse. I don't know that they're sealing
is significantly better though, Hey far on the BC Lions are going to be
in Hamilton on Sunday. Some issues at linebacker with injury. There's concern there
for sure. But what about their victory last week and looking ahead to Hamilton,
Yeah, you know, I thought the win was good. It was
you know, it was solid, the way they were able to finish that
game out. You know, you expect them to be a little bit better
against Edmondson. The way they're going, but they've managed to play everybody tough
and when they needed to make a play, they were able to make them
play. I think, you know, we talked about this last week,
Rick, that DC's got to find a way to finish offensively. You know,
they're doing a lot of good things. You know, we talked about
their offensive line last week and how it's showing up and and all of that
is there. This is the team that leaves the league in yards. They
leave the league in yards per play, In terms of second down conversions,
there are a lot they're doing well, but during the middle of the back
in terms of points, and that's where it all matters. So they've got
to find ways to finish. And if a team is equipped to withstand a
loss in linebacker, it's probably the VC lines. You know, Josh Woods
was a guy they had big hopes for, but guess what you got bowl
of Coombo there to back up, and Ben Halladox supposed to be back this
week, So you know, do they move all back to the middle,
Do they let Elie get some snaps in the middle, does bogo right there
and play the week side backer? You know, they they've got Barga,
who's the player they're really high on. So they've got a ton of depth
with their Canadians and linebackers, so I think they can handle it. You
know, they've got to get better defensively, but you know, I just
think there've been so much change there that they're growing and they're getting better week
by week. So they headed in the right direction, so I think they
can withstand that loss. A tough break for Woods. You finally got the
full time opportunity that he'd been seeking. But right now, for the line,
the biggest thing they've got to fix finish offense. Boy, looking at
the standings here, your favorite team is zing four, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
You don't seem to yeah, bragging about them anymore, no, you
know, And I think this is real. I think this is real.
They're all and four because I think it's only going to get worse because you've
got Zach Klaro's dealing with an injury. I don't know, you know,
they had a close practice today, so I don't know that he's going to
be able to play this week. You know, with a player like that,
you've got to you've got to be cautious. And I don't know that
Chris Streveler is that guy that they can win with. So I'm taking Autawa
to win in win a bag this week. Auto coming off a last second
victory. This is tough. I mean, there's no swagger. The players
have admitted it. You know, you're seeing dents in their culture when you
get a player like Brady Olivera openly questioning his usage. Even when Zach was
playing, he didn't look like a guy that necessarily had the trust of all
of his receivers, maybe just dev skiing Waltarski, and he's kind of building
trust with some other guys. So I don't know that there's an easy answer
for these guys. I mean, they got to get Zach back, They
got to get Zact or Kenny Lawler back before they can fix it. But
there's a lot of change and a lot of holes and a lot of injuries.
So you know, I don't know this is as quick as snapping your
fingers and expecting them to turn it around. Hey, Frian, before we
let you go. The Canucks have scheduled a home game Sunday, November seventeenth,
five o'clock Great Cup at BC Place three o'clock right across the street.
You're shaking your head. Obviously you have a you have a problem, get
it. Yeah, Yeah, it's stupid. It's ridiculous for the Canucks to
do this, for them not to get the NHL to understand that the Great
Cup is a big event. It's bigger than a regular November hockey game of
regardless of whether you like hockey or don't like the CFL. For the league
and the team to make sure this didn't happen. I remember in the Brian
Burke days. Hey, he would make requests to make sure that the Canucks
didn't play on a Saturday night when the Subway ball BC High School Championship was
happening. Be a good corporate sports partner in this city. When I saw
that, I thought typical Canucks. That absolutely shouldn't have happened. I'm glad
to see you care about things in Vancouver. While you're on your yacht,
your cruise or whatever it is over there in Europe. You're mad of the
people, you know, Hey, buddy, listen, I hope you guys
have a great summer. You guys have the you know, you want to
tell me that I got a good life you guys have like a ten month
job. You might as well be teachers, you know, and you know
you've got that with your better half Doney. So I hope you have a
great summer. I'm hoping to see you. I know you're gonna be here
in Italy next week when I get there, so I'm hoping to see you
before I go back because I know you'll be spending about a month. Yeah.
Hey, in all seriousness, this is our last hit of the year.
Our last show is tomorrow before we go on our twenty week vacation.
But in all seriousness, I love having you on every Wednesday Thursday, whatever
the case may be. It's been a blast as always, mister Verstill you

from the seventies. Oh yeah, this was good clap for the Wolfman wolf
Man Jack. You hear some of his uh DJing during the sun. Don't
by the guests who I think wolf sent? Jack was out of La.
He was out of LA. I remember him. Christmas Canadian bad? Does
this burden Cummings? This is good style. Do you see the Wolfman of
this video? Can he was? Look who you're asking? Look who you're
asking? Well, Rick, you called him wolf Gang? Well I was
close. I was in my neighborhood. Do you remember him in American graffiti.
That's the first time I was was made aware of Wolfman Jacket. What
a big deal he was as a DJ down in the States before Dick Clark,
uh Casey case and all those guys. It was Wolfman. I think
they were around the same time. I think this guy was first. What
happened to DJ's by the way, now it's all you know, radio stations
left. God well, no it's not a good thing. Rick. But
even before what we see now, where you know, radio stations are seemed
to be getting eliminated, he had like the morning Zoo type you know format
where he had seventeen people in the studio and wonder they lost money the old
old days, Doc Harris, Wolfman Jack, But don't forget that guy.
Don't forget our power. Broadway Bill, broad Broadway Bill. And then all
the guys around Terry David Mulligan, Mulligan a guy. What happened broj bro
Jay? And the best of the best was Red Robinson. Uh in Vancouver.
He was so good, Doney going going way back, legendary after the
Beatles, Yeah, one of John Lennon's favorites. Yeah, you're referring to
John Lennon telling him to get the f off the stage and right right right
right at the Beatles. That was before Vancouver had one of its first documented
riots. Where are we right now down Vancouver? But you're excited here you
done with DJs. I was a DJ once just I would have paid if
somebody out there has tapes and either of these two I have tapes, the
cassette cassettes. How are you going to play him now? But I got
cassette on a cassette. Joey and Ricky David. I did a show from
six to midnight DJ and I'd get off and tell them where it was Pole
Rivers HQB, right there by the Fort Saint John. No. I was
a sports guy in Fort Saint John. But I started as a DJ.
And right by the water there in Poul River, the ferry and uh the
water the ferry had come in. You'd get off and the station was right
there. Was small, it was smaller in this place. But anyways,
we we did six to midnight. I did a shift. I thought the
Paul River station was a powerhouse known across North America. Thanks for that when
I was there, so you intro music and hey, but Ryan, you
wouldn't know this because you didn't pay your due. I went to broadcast school,
I had to do some DJ, and we I DJ'd as well.
I did the midnight shift midnight to see you were both overnight. Gee,
wonder why they were sticking you those hours. Eh. Yeah, it take
me long to go. You know what I should try sports. Here's platinum
Blonde crying over you, and that's how I do it. Wow, see
why you got hired. But by the way, platinum Blond crying over you
was a good God. We played it yesterday, just stopped. That was
honeymoon sweet, Yeah, honey sweet. Okay, I got my eighties Canadian
bands. Yeah, mixed up the job for me twelve to promly midnight till
six in the morning. It was like you're going on the air talking a
bit, playing music. My number one job was to get things ready for
the morning guy, the big shit. That was it. I get all
his you know, reel to reels, queued up, his carts, all
ready to go. Carts. Yeah, remember the old carts. You had
to push the carts in. It looked like it looked like an eight track.
Everything had to be ready to go over him. If that went wrong,
I could do nothing right right, It didn't as long as things were
ready for him. And and I missed those days done where there was more
human interaction. And now it's just all these stupid computers. And less people
at radio stations, and now radio stations are getting eliminated. It's not good.
Wadling dog poll question visit one of Victoria's favorite pups where you can enjoy
twenty taps to twenty screen CJBC Dawson. What was the name of the Palm
River station? C HQB, c HQB Powl River. You're home for the
connection UFC the dog, not c HQB. Come sit and stay at the
doc today. Poll question Rick and you went by Rick Andrews. Rick Andrews,
you better. I think first it was Dean Smith or something like that,
and then you were Dean's. Yeah, I went. I tried Dean
Smith for a while and then I But DJ's changed their names all the time.
Dean Smith, I think coach. Yeah. I think I used it
because of him. He was the North Carolina coach. Yeah, what are
you laugh? Pretty creative. It was different times, Ryan, DJ's today
still change your names to have a you know, flashy name. Anyways,
get the pull up, let's go. When I think flashy, I think
Dean Smith. Okay, our waddling dog pop pulk question quickly? Are you
gonna let me do this? Gang? Why did you go with Wolfgang?
We got Let me finish this, but what is the number one edition?
The Canucks still need to make to their roster leading the way and no surprise,
you're done. Sixty five percent say they need another top four defenseman.
And uh, look if the if the Canucks have grand illusions of going deep
in playoffs next year, wow, you can't have it. You gotta improve
the second pair, right shot. Look, Myers is great, but he's
also going to be thirty five next year. Let's take a look at the
defense. Okay, let's go. Sorry, but go ahead, go ahead.
While you do this, I would like, I think everybody would like
a puck moving guy. Uh, you know where Myers is, and you
can bump Myers down and he'd be more than sufficient in the third pair.
But you know everyone's talking about for Burton, Da Rnay Donnie, not much
puck move. I mean, the two of those guys in the third pair
right there combined for fifteen points last year, so you're not going to get
a ton of offense. But we know why they're there. PK size.
We get the signings. We understand the signings. Uh, but I think
you're missing Zidor off and big time. There's no question about it. Okay.
Speaking of visit Deharnay, we're gonna hear from him in a bit.
There's an interview on Twitter that the Canucks released today with him. I believe
it's the first time we've heard from him since he signed his free agent deal
with the Canucks two years, two million dollars AAV. We'll do that in
a second. Meanwhile, I want to remind people about Able Auctions, our

The phrase you were looking for earlier on the show in the first.
Several of our listeners and viewers have texted into the Ladies Okay Tire in Langley
inbox with So, Brian Burke used to go to I think once a month
in Vancouver, either the Chamber of Commerce or a town hall, one of
the two. And so I went for city council meeting. I went from
city council meeting. All I know is that Brian berg was been in the
two that I dismissed. Listen, I said city council meetings. But we
have listeners who say it was either Chamber of Commerce he went once a month
or town hall he went once a month, once a month, because Brian
was a really community minded guy. So there you go. Agree. And
Brian would never have let the Canucks a book a date on Great Cup Sunday
in Vancouver, never in a million years. I agree with you. There.
Twenty eight year old Vincent deharn a six seven two and twenty six pounds
former Evanton Oilers signs with the Vancouver Canucks as a free agent. I mentioned
it's a two year deal, two million dollar average annual value. Seventy eight
regular season games for the Oilers. They played twenty three playoff games the Oilers
did. He was a scratch for some of them. He played sixteen playoff
games, including games against the Canucks in round two. Here's Vincent Deharna from
earlier today on his Zoom call, I was talking about what sold them on
the bankouver Canucks. There was a few things. The biggest thing, I
think the fit is just right, just the way that the kind of the
identity of the team, how the coaching staff, how the coaching staff is
very structure, the fan base. There's a few things that just you know,
Canadian market. Those are all great things. And I want to win.
You know, I was so close last season, and I want to
make sure that when I was signing, I was going somewhere where I was
going to get a chance again. Then I think that, you know,
Canucks is going to be good for another four or five years at least with
all the great young players. So I want to win. There's a great
fan base, The coaching staff is great. I think it's going to be
it's gonna be awesome to work with with Adam Foot. I think it's going
to help me out quite a bit for my for my career. So yeah,
it's overall I think the the Canucks are a great team, a great
organization, and I'm very excited for mid mid September to get going. They
didn't ask him about that November seventeenth date up against the Great Cup of Nashville.
Maybe we could do maybe, maybe we could do that later on.
How many players have we heard that are joining the Canucks in the last couple
of days. Talk about the coaching staff in particular, Vincent talking about Adam
Foot and serge Gonchar Yeah, really well, he said, one hour into
free agency, you got a call from first Talcket and then Foot and that's
it. An hour later he told his agent out of Quebec, get the
deal done in Vancouver. So there you go, and he's going to provide
something that we talk about a lot. What Rick Talcket covets size on defense.

Hour and the meantime Big Ride The Quitter Guy is next Donnie Dolly the team
on check just I had a Big Ride The Quitter Guy brought to you by
the Bayside Delaney's Okay Tire in Langley inbox. This is from G and Richmond.
As we go back to our earlier conversation, Ge telling us that I
have tickets for the Gray Cup and also a Canucks season ticket holder. I
circled Nashville on the calendar and didn't realize the clash. Pretty disappointed, to
be honest. There's probably a few people like that right now. And yeah,
you would circle Nashville on the calendar given what they were up to.
A lot of people feel that they won July first Free Agent Frenzy Day,
and yeah, you would circle circle that. Yeah, and Gen Richmond's got
himself a problem right now. Well, the other thing is there is now
an additional level to the Preds as well, with them being the Canuck's first
round opponent this past postseason. You know, I mean, it's going to
add a little bit of cachet. I don't I would necessarily go as far
saying the rivals. But there's some people that you try to add. You
try to to try to add to that. Convers try to talk. It
didn't work. They go the twner, Guy Brocks, you know what,
right side, Maybe you could talk better. She worked as a DJ up
North. Yeah, with Dean Pager, Dews, Dean Smithy. Man,
it's nineteen eighty nine. What do you want me to do? You know,
pick a better name. But Sports Illustrated was big back then I saw
Dean Smith on the cover and boom, there you go. We even a
standing clip of Brojke hitting the post back at the ten forty days from a
golf tournament with BB King or something, and it's just slapping the base.
Bro Jake was the best man, best pipes. That guy's voice, Donny
Brojake just a great, great guy, great DJ. And I have to
remember I have to mention a couple of buddies of mine too, Larry and
Willie Well of course, yeah, and bro Jake's abody too, yeah,
will He's still on a rock on a one yeah. Big By the Twitter,
I brought to you by the Bayside ocean Front Resort. Stop by the
Bayside enjoy their brand new happy hour menu ten different food items all for just

voice is finally kJ It's good to hear, so follow them on Facebook and
on Instagram. Okay, a man, since there's me right, took a
shot of you and this is what happens. Yeah, that's right, moments
of go. Some history made in the NHL. Guys, the Seattle Kraken
have hired Jessica Campbell as an assistant coach. She will be the first female
in NHL history to be behind an NHL bench. This is not a huge
surprise. Dan Bosman, new head coach in Seattle, Jessica Campbell worked alongside
of it. They were together in Coachella and he was asked about her the
day of his opening presser and he said, she's either going to be with
me here or in a big role in Coachella, possibly being the head coach
at Coachella. He's decided to bring her up to the NHL and here we
go, the first woman full time coach behind an NHL bench. And it's
just down the I five in Seattle. So you love to see it,
You absolutely love to see it. Yeah, I mean. Ryan Clark wrote
the article for ESPN talking about she's got she's like everywhere she's gone. She
was part of the German national teams, done a ton of stuff. She
played at Cornell as well. So you love that's what you love. Yes,
she's qualified pay dues absolutely, like you did up North as Dean Smith.
Well, and you did up North in Dawson Creek. We paid our
dues. We definitely did no word on whether or not Jessica will change her
name to Dean Smith. Now, okay, just stop with the Dean Smith
stuff. Just stop with the Dean Smith stuff back in the day. But
hey, there's big and I've seen a lot of this July first big money
for Brandon on tour in Seattle, big money in term for Chandler Stevenson in
Seattle as well. I'm seeing a lot of those guys like for Nass and
Softy, and a lot of those guys saying let's go here. Time it's
gonna get a little bit. Yeah, exactly except for the run the playoff.
Yes, but and and look at everyone knows expansion team. The first
year you get to punt on it, no problem, second figure it out,
second year you bring it up playoffs, and then last year it's just
a massive step back. But more importantly, the fact that they just weren't
boring, like what was there? What was the cache there? Brandon tannev
Like like what Maddy been Heer's are pretty occupied is good. I mean,
look, we're struggling to come up with that's the thing, right And again,
when you're in a market that has an NFL team, going to have
an NBA team back there, you got the college sports as well, you
got an MLS team that you know had been having success. You can't be
boring and just go and kind of has been boring. Yeah, chackly.
Getting back to Jessica Campbell for a second. The players don't care. Oh
no, if you're qualified and pummy, if you're underqualified and you don't know
what you're doing, I don't know. Male, it doesn't matter male,
female, It doesn't matter that the players will tune you out in a second.
If you're a sharp to you know what you're doing. They they don't
care. Man, woman, black, white, whatever the case may be.
They they don't. They don't. They want they want somebody that can
further their careers. And it looks like she's got the resume that will allow
her to do that. The other thing is, uh, there's a local
skating instructor by the name of Karen Koss. People just absolutely wonderful. My
kid loves, you know, learning under her. It's a different voice a
different sounding voice, a different approach, not you all, just just a
different tone. And she knows what she's She's just absolutely fabulous. People love
working with people, don't. They don't care. It's it's it's different.
But the bottom line is Karen and and I'm sure Jessica Campbell, they know
what they're doing. This isn't this isn't gimme, this isn't look at us,
it's not. It's not well and Phil Esposido at the time, even
in did that, but this is not gonna county at a townhome meeting.
Yeah, and a council meeting, but this is not gimmicky. This she
is good. Peter Dw's in the American League and you said with the German
team as well. No, there's something here, there's This is a good
signing. I must see what happens in Seattle. By the way, people
are pointing out, we're talking a lot about the schedule. I think I
have to double checks, but I'm pretty sure the Canucks are playing their first
game in Seattle on a Saturday this season in March. The first Saturday game
and SAE in Seattle for Saturday. Seattle should have happened before you no kidding,
but I might. I'm pretty sure it's the it's the case. So
a lot of people circling that date to go down and catch the Canucks.
And by the way, I've been to Climate Pledge twice for concerts only I
haven't been to a game yet and it's just amazing. It's so amazing what
they've done to that building. Because I went to Key Arena and it was
a dumb This is anything but. Coming up next Louis Debrasque, his son
Jake now with the Vancouver Canucks organization. We'll talk to Louis about that.
Vincent Deharnay, former oiler, moving over to the Nups and much more.

Able Auctions, dot c A. We're joined now by Louis Debrask,
sports at NHL and oilers analyst, former NHLer and father of New Knuck Jake
Nebrask. Louis, thanks for doing this, sir. How are you?
I'm doing well, guys, How are you good? Very well? It
looks like you got your workout clothes on. Did you recently do the did
you recently do the grouse grind? Did I get that right? Yeah?
That was last summer. Last summer. That was a That was a text
that I sent to Dan Murphy kind of saying, hey, I'm getting ready
to go do this grouse grind because he kept talking about it how hard it
was, and it's a grind. I'm not gonna lie to It was a
beautiful play, by the way, great place, but it is a nature's
stare master, There's no question about it. That's the way it was described
to me before I did it, and I was like, Okay, that's
exactly what it is. So I'm looking forward to tackling it again though the
next time I've been there. Well, and it was a year ago.
I thought it was recently, but you'll be here more often, I would
imagine. With Jacob in Talent, just your reaction to your son signing with
the Conducts Lily, Yeah, really excited for him. I mean he went
through the process, and he had to go through the process. Vancouver right
from the get go was the front runner and a team that really showed a
lot of interest in him. So he, you know, obviously was very
encouraged by that, and quite frankly, when he looked at the team,
that was what really made him interested in the team to begin with was the
players that have already the direction the team's going under Rick Talcket, what they're
trying to accomplish there, and the identity they're trying to play the game with.
So he felt he could step right in and have an impact and jump
right in there and support and play that system very well and be an impact
player. So that was the number one thing. But he had to go
through the process of, you know, figuring out what other teams were interested,
what was out there. Sorry said, it was his first opportunity at
unbursuit of free agency, and so he did the due diligence and in the
end, it was Vancouver that he felt was the best fit. Obviously the
best term, and that's kind of what he was looking for. He wanted
a long term deal, he wanted to settle in, wanted to commit to
a team. So he's excited. We're really excited to have him there because
he's a lot closer to home. Obviously, I love seeing him as a
Bruin. He had some great years as a Boston Bruin Original sixteen, a
lot of history in that franchise and it was wonderful for him to be a
part of it. But now it's a new chapter for him and he's really
excited to get it going. And Mama Bear is pretty happy that she's not
that far away, so she's looking forward to seeing him a little more often
this year. I bet, so, what are the Canucks getting in Jake
And can you envision him having chemistry with the elas Petterson, which a lot
of people in Vancouver are hoping for. I do you know what, Honestly,
that's one of the things he looked at. Obviously Centerman down the middle,
who potentially could you play with? And Peterson's name kept coming up,
and obviously they're trying to find a winger that can play that two hundred foot
game with Petterson, and that's j Jake in that Boston system and the system
that the Vancouver Conduction, my opinion, are starting to morph into under Rick
Talkt and a lot of teams in the league are for good reason. It's
a stingy heart system to play against. It's disciplined and it's structured. But
if you have the offensive talent your lineup, you can capitalize on your chances.
And it was good enough last year to win the Pacific Division title.
So you know, when I look at Jake stepping in there, he's a
player that came in as an offensive player but honed his overall game in seven
years in Boston plays a two hundred foot game. Is used to going up
against the best of the opposition, so he'll help whoever he plays with in
that regard. He was up and down the lineup in Boston throughout his career
there. Played primarily in the top six, but certainly was down the third
and fourth line at times. Plays right wing and left wing. He's played
with pretty much everybody the organization, and it seemed like every time he jumped
down the line, he made the line better. And that's what he's going
to try and do when he goes to Vancouver. Obviously he feels he can
step in there and have that impact. Louis the Canucks and the Oiders Round
two. What did you learn about this Vancouver team? I mean that was
Game seven. They had no Besser, they had no Dempko. I mean,
what did you learn about the Canucks. Well, they did exactly what
they did all year long, and it started with the first two games of
the season. Guys, they beat Evington and both of that was and I
covered both of those games. And you know, I remember talking early on
that this team is ready to take a stride, They're ready to take a
push forward and they have the personnel to do it. And not only did
you do it at the start of the year, they did it for the
entire year. They paced that division. I mean it moved around a little
bit throughout the season, but all in all, they were right there at
the top of it for the entire season. They were fighting for that first
position and they were able to finish it off in the end. So what
that told me is the way they were playing the game was consistent. They
had a plan, they had a team that could into it, and we
saw what they did in the first round winning that and then coming into the
second round having Ebonton down three two in the series. I mean, they
had two chances to finish them off in that series. And credit Evanson.
I mean, Everson's a very good team too, So you know Evanson and
Vancouver again. I think next year will be teams that people are looking at
to make some noise. But Ebinson found a way to get it done in
Game seven in a real hard fought series. But it could have gone either
way. I think that could have been a series that certainly could have gone
Vancouver's way. And that's why they feel they're pretty solid and where they are
in the transition they want to make and the people they want to bring in
that can play that system. And they went out and got a couple more
bruins and hinde It and forward that they know can step right in and have
an understanding of how to play that tight, grinding, hard hockey that they
played in their careers as well. So I think they're building towards that.
And as Rick talking, I know that covering him over the course of this
year and when he stepped on board last year, one of the things that
he kept saying was we need to be a harder team to play against if
we want to be a hard team to play against. Now, that doesn't
necessarily mean fighting and hitting. Obviously, physical contact and grinding this part of
it, but it's the way you play, the pressure. You play with
the fact that you're always in the opponent's grill and you come at him and
with ways of pressure and you're a disciplined team. And that's kind of what
they did through the stretch. So I learned a lot for the fact that
this Vancouver teams for real, and they've got some young guys right now that
are really taking that next step into their mid life of NHL careers and want
to take another step forward and make some noise in the playoffs. Hey,
Louis, got to ask you about the Oiders. My goodness, they add
Jeff Skinner, Victor Arvizen, Adam Henry, takes less to come back,
Corey Perry's back. Boy, That forward group is looking a whole lot better.
Yeah, it's incredible. I'm pretty impressive how they've been able to get
everyone to come back and right now kind of squeeze it in there. They're
going to have to do a little struggling and a little maintenance here down the
stretch in the summer. But yeah, I think it's important. They're going
to be a mature, older team again with jan Mark and Brown signing back.
You've got Skinner's been around for a long time. Everywhere that he's gone
has been a prolific scoring and they get him on a real cap friendly deal
at three million. You know, Arbitson for me, has always been an
energizer, Bunny. I mean, I know you. You know Hoglander.
I remember talking with Travis Green when when Hoglander first came on, he said,
listen, we're kind of thinking he could be like an Arbitson I know
Hoglander played that way last year and started to find that scoring touch in that
grit. He's like a fire hydrant out there, and that's what Arbitson is.
Arbiton's kind of that original energizer bunny that goes out there and just kind
of gets the job done, has a scoring touch. And you know,
obviously the injuries are one thing they're concern you about Arbitson, but hopefully he
can stay healthy in that regard. But what it does is just again adds
to the depth of Edmonton. They're bringing back a lot of familiar people that
understand what they have to do and played the system that they're trying to implement
and have played it well. And they felt with a little more scoring and
the likes the Skinner, I believe in Arbitson coming on board that it just
makes them a tougher team to play against, a team that can get the
job done a little more effective. I have to ask you this, Louisa,
in that you're a sports that NHL analyst for the Oilers. We just
heard from him moments ago on our show. What are the Canucks getting in
six seven? Vincit Deharnae, former oiler, You're getting a good guy.
Number one. You're getting a guy that's had to persevere and work through some
stuff to get to where he is today. He doesn't take that for granted.
He works hard every day and he's, you know, one of those
guys that has that charisma and that feeling when he comes to the rink,
you know he wants to come to play. Excuse me. He plays hard
and he's a nasty guy to deal with. You know, it's nicknamed down
the American Hockey League was Seaweed, given to him by Jay Woodcraft and Dave
Matson, the coaching staff down there. You know, when you're swimming in
the seawater, Seaweed just always seems to get a PC. Well, that's
Vin Deharnae at six foot seven, you know he has that reach. You've
got two guys now in right handed Tyler Myers and Vinnie Deharnay that take up
a lot of space in front of the net. He plays a hard game.
He's going to make you pay to stand in front of his not afraid
to get physical and get involved. And an excellent pedalty kill, excellent shot
blocker will pay the price over and over and over again to block shots.
So that's what you're getting. You're getting a guy that took a big step
last year. You know, he came into the league at the end of
two years ago, came in last year, played seventy four games, I
believe is what his total was. But he really worked himself into being a
regular in the NHL. And you know, for me to see guys take
that stride and take that step and be excited about improving in the game,
that's Vinnie Deharna. When he was in Providence in college, there was a
guy named the Dano Chara playing for the Boston Bruins, and that's a guy
that he watched on a regular basis and tried to emulate his game. After
and being that tall, sometimes it takes a little longer to find that maturity,
find that stride, and find that game. Well, he's found and
they're getting a good guy. They're getting a guy that's gonna be able to
plund right into that locker room. Before I let you go, Louie,
just talk. I'd have to worry about you as a hockey dad. No,
no, yeah, you know what I've already given Jay Kinnam and his
strike to say, listen, learn from talk you know, go in there
and listen to what he says. And this guy was a great teammate.
Know, Rick Talking was one of my favorite teammates. He was a guy
that could speak to everybody. And why he's a great coach and I think
why he's had success and congrats to him and the Jack Adams. I was
happy to see him win that. He was a guy who scored fifty goals
one Stanley Cup fought everybody, so he could speak to everybody. And when
he was hanging out with people in the room, it wasn't necessarily always with
the top guys. He would come down to our level too and speak with
the grunts on the team as well. And that's why everybody liked him so
much. He could get along with everybody and you could speak everybody's language.
And I think he does that as a coach as well. And I think
it's a guy you can learn from. And when you look at Taka's career,
the way he kind of grinded and made himself into the player he was,
that's motivation, right, That's motivation to say, listen, you can
always achieve and get a little bit better. You can always kind of look
at things a little bit differently, and I'm hoping he brings out a little
bit of that in Jake two, because Jake's worked hard to be that player
and try and be a two hundred foot player, and I think talk to
help them. That's great. He's not gonna have to worry about me.
I mean, I don't talk to coaches a whole lot, to be honest,
but I'm kind of looking forward to seeing one of my good friends coach
my boy as a hockey dad. I have to tell you that one of
my favorite visuals over the last few years, and we're pretty much done with
this interview Louis, by the way, but I wanted to bring this up.
One of my favorite visuals over the last several years was you in the
crowd shedding a tear after Jake's first goal went with the Boston Bruins. Yeah.
Great moment. Yeah, it was a great moment. You know what,
It's just one of those moments that you can't really prepare yourself for,
but at the same time, you're just so overwhelmed. As a family,
we were all overwhelmed to be there, to get there on time to watch
the game. Was his first NHL game. It all came together. It
doesn't always happen that way in this league. Sometimes it's pretty difficult to make
that happen. When it does, it's a special moment, and that was
a special moment that night, one that we've never forgot, you know,
one that every once in a while see it come up on my YouTube or
Instagram or Twitter feed or somewhere, and every time he's a mega smile to
my face because it brings you right back to that moment. And that's what
this game is all about, to be honest with you. It's about moments
and why it's such a passionate fan base in every respective city because it's those
moments that are being brought to you every game, every day that stay with
you for a lifetime and you know, make you who you are. And
I remember when I was a kid to remember some of the things, and
that'll be one of the things as an adult that stands out to me as
one of my favorite moments ever in the game. Yeah, so special,
Louis will get you back on. Thanks so much for this, We really
appreciate it. Yeah, okay, guys, thanks for having me on.
I'm sure we'll be seeing a little more of you this year. Oh yeah,
definitely thanks. Louis Debrasque, sports Net Proud Dad, NHL analyst with
the Oiters Hockey a Night in Canada, and Jake Debrsk's dad. He mentioned
something there and I think it comes across and we saw a bit of this
during the postseason. Vincent Deharne. I'm not sure it's at the door off
the in levels, but he's got a lot of chrisma. Yeah, there's
something there. He has the potential to be a fan favorite at Rogers Arena.
A break or recap the poll question next Tony Delay the team on Jack,
Dolli and Dolly. The team is aupborded by Abelauctions dot ca A closing
your business you can help? Oh this is good? Why would you play
this? I asked for lover Boy, loving every minute of it. But
I'll take this. I'll take this. This was good. It was What
are you talking about? So many of these songs that you like that I
don't even know what they are? First of all, I would hear this
for one second, and even if Doc Harris was on it, Little Ricky,
I would rewind the cassette all the time. This is good and listen,
listen, this was a Canadian content. This is Platinum Blonde crying over
you wall on doc pole. Question visual in a Victoria's favorite pubs where you

Sit and stay at the Dog today, Rick, Ryan, get her up
the waddling Dog pop pole? Question? What is the number one? Oh?
Yeah, this hits the spot? How do you not like this?
Soft? I asked for lover Boy and Ryan gives me this, which is
okay, but I wanted loving every minute of it. Okay, look at
this? What's the number one edition? The connection will need to make to
the roster sixty sixty five percent, say another top forty. I will be
surprised, don if they don't upgrade. Where are they at for cap room
right now? Not a ton? Well, but then you got puhman,
elkike it, you got pullman, you got an lt R. You know,
I just I think they're going to upgrade that second pair right side at
some point during the season. Okay, you've got some business, that's right.
Look at this. Looking for a gift for a sports fan hobbout an
addition to your man gave Pastime Sports the place to visit check out the largest
selection of sports MEMORABILEIY, autographed items, trading cards, and collectible games in
Western Canada. To visit one of four locations in Langley, Metrotown, Guilfer
Mall and Twasta Mills. I walked by yesterday beautiful in Twaston Mills. There
you walked by it, no, I had. I was in a rush.
I couldn't go in, Donnie. I walked by It's beautiful. I
couldn't believe it opening this summer in Capilano Mall and North Vancouver. If you
can't visit them, I was in a rush, Donny. I looked at
it. I saw it and I said, this is great and then I
had to get going. If you I'm sure they appreciate that. If you
can't visit the mid store, you can shop their massive collection online. The
Pastime Sports dots Yer laptop. Yeah, in front of the laptop, I've
got the Thatcher Demco Rookie cards, signed series two Upper Deck Bdard cards and
the card of the Day. They always popular. Oh Anthony Slash Nathan Bavillier
in a Vancouver canucksy. Why would you put Mavilia. He signed yesterday with
Pittsburgh. Okay, what does that cut to do with anything? I mean,
I don't have many cars good against the Cannucks with Nashville in the playoffs.
Yeah, he was, he was, okay, but I've just got
nothing to do with anything. He's in the Conax uniform. You could have
put a Shmiel Green, Fraser, Tatty Sunstrom, Lars Molegue, put all
those cards up. Kevin McCarthy. You see him wearing seventy two there.
Our understanding is that Jake deb Bresko will wear seventy four. Crafts Off wore
that and so did Ethan Bear. That's right, Beard, he would be
the third conduct where seventy four any other numbers from the new players? Do
we hear anything on that? No? Right, no, we didn't.
You say that. Jake Debresk wasn't even listed on the roster the other day.
That was early on though, usually though they get right on it.
Yeah. I think they were too busy thinking how can we mess up the
BC Lions and their great Cup plants November seventeenth against Nashville. Right up again,
it's the Great Cup across the street. No respect to the BC Lions
at all, you know, none at all. This is from Rob Delaney's
Okay tying Langley Inbox. Do you think the NHL Canucks care about helping the
Lions? Maybe they should think about helping themselves. The Gray Cup is way
bigger than a single Cannock game. They all manage to piss off everyone,
including their own fans who will be late, and then Rob ends up by
saying boo boo old and he's not happy. There's you know, he's not
happy. There's no way, and I do want to remind everyone, Oh,
the Canucks are number one in town. But there was a time in
the eighties, Donny that the Lions were number one and had fifty four thousand
at BC Place for every home game, and the Canucks were had eight thousand
at the coliseum when the Quebec Nordiks or Heart for Whalers would come to town.
So, you know, I know, it's flipped around like that when
Gretzky and the Oilers came to town exactly exactly, I mean there were other
needy two. That whole decade was a write off. I mean, not
that the seventies were any better, but the first twenty years were pretty brutal.
When Pat Quinn got there, started to get better. Pat and that
was the bold move number one. Linden bold, well, not bold,
but getting Linden was number two in to turn the franchise route. Yeah,
it's just I look, there's still time they could do something about it.
You guys disagree at the very least changed the puck drop time. It's five
o'clock. But they wouldn't have to admit they made a mistake. I don't
see that. Teams do it all the times, all the time in other
in other cities, So I can't see why they why they wouldn't anything.
Remember the outstit for the oilers, that's right, Yeah, it was a
Saturday game, I believe. Yeah, you wanted to talk about the development
camp. Yeah. Yeah, we haven't talked about the kids out, Tom
Millander, that's the big one. I'm keeping an eye, Rhino. We
showing anything? Well, you were critical of it, did drink? I
was not critical? I said, look, Tom Millander, this is the
guy the first round pick right shot D eleventh overall a couple of years ago.
Look at this, Donnie, there's the I can't see that. Ryan,
if you want me to talk about these kids, and you put up
that up. Come on, that might as well be in Mars. But
make it bigger. Okay, what sticks out for Tom? Is that better?
You show it again on the screen. That's better. No, it's
not much better. But anyways, okay, plases all you got glasses on.
Okay, So, because the Canucks have traded so many first and second
rounders in the last six years, and they have and they have so the
prospect pool isn't very deep and we know that. But anyways, I think
everybody Donnie is out here to see Tom Hollander. Uh. He had a
great year of Boston. I don't think the crowds are flocking out to UBC.
I don't think so. This isn't a star studded really selling this.
Okay, but hey, we're being honest. You want to trade your first
and second rounders every year, well this is what you're gonna get, right.
You know, six years in a row they haven't had a Josh Bloom
is standing out Josh Bloom memorial scored the winner with what twenty one seconds left
or something like that. Uh but uh for Saginaw, Yeah, for Saginaw
this year. But I think tom the video I've seen at tom Lander this
week has been pretty good and we want to reread that. You wanted to
talk about this. They scrimmaged tomorrow. I believe at eleven o'clock at ub
seen Manny Maulholtran Manny. Manny looks firm, strong, in charge, in
charge. It's just first development cap. What are you guys talking about.
He looks in command. That's what I meant by firm. He looks in
command. He's doing a good job, Ruyn. What's wrong with the using
the word firm. He looks solid in running the kids at the development From
the video I've seen, he looks great. Yeah, next thing you know,
he'll be in charge of the Chamber of Commerce. But they've got a
team of thousands out there. Mike Thomas, Sarah is out there. I
like that. Michael samuel Sen the Sedines. You like that though? Yeah?
You want these kids highly respect. Do you want these kids to go
to development camp and feel what wanted? Firm? Your firm? You want
want them to learn. You want a lot of teaching, and the Canucks
have a lot of guys out there teaching. These guys out there, Yogi
Sevskovski. There's another one. This is good. That's what you want.
That the Conducts coaching staff last year was it was one of their strongest points
on and not not just in Vancouver, but Amsford as well other parts of
the world. I should mention part of the development camp and you totally disrespected
it. But Parker alcos Evanton oil Kay's defenseman, uh just sixth round,
just drafted out of Pork Amateur Hockey Association. You know the kids they played
with, My kid, Donnis, the great kid, great family and know
all the best of Parker and everybody else out there at the development camp.

also a guitarist and painter, came to national fame with a recurring role on
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and the Starring Role and it's spin off Fernwood Tonight.
He played Barth Gimble, host of a local talk show and a small
Midwestern town of the late Fred Willard played his sidekick. My friends and I
would race home or make a point of watching firm with Tonight. If there
was ever a cult show, it's in the spinal tap category. If there
was ever a cult TV show that was it. Not for everybody, but
man, was it funny. I just absolutely loved it. It's a really
respected blast from the past. He often played sleazy, slimy, smarmy characters,
as he did Mister Mom. He often played a prom He did play
Colonel Mustard and remember the movie Clue Speaking of cult followings, A lot of
people really respect that movie as well. He was also on Rouzanne and Arrested
Development and Ryan. You remember him from another show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
He was the principal at Sabrina's high school. I saw some clips of
it. Yeah yeah, But Fern with Tonight and became America Tonight. I
don't know if you ever watched it, but it was. It was big.

Not the SiZ factor, but Donnie no longer being able to bring up
his neighbor with the Zadoroff jersey. Every show adds an inter Yeah, I've
told that story a few times. I'm getting older and I have a habit
of telling stories over and over again. Just ask my wife, wife and
kids. It happens you do that as well. You're getting there. I'm
getting there. Oh boy, am I ever getting there? I said the
crats off. By the way, war seventy four with the Canucks. You
wore seventy four with the Rangers. Was ninety one? Here? Ninety one
Vancouver? Yeah, yeah, you remember that. Yeah, Hockey Reference had
him a seventy four with the Canucks. But well, appurrently the reference is
wrong. What do you got? Just me? Congratulations on the new deal,
guys. I presume Donnie negotiated a eleven point seven million dollars salary from
p eleven seven. Oh no, what it's eleven six? He's eleven six
or eleven seven? He's he's saying, it's it's a little bit more,
ah, a little higher, impeding? All right, all right, got
it? All right? All right? Where am i? Oh? This
is from Chap Joe? Is it just me? But I'm sure Dolly could
make time to go to a sports store in Bellis. But he walked by
our local stores. Oh that's I was at Toaston Mills yesterday and you walked
right by, looking at one of our clients. Bellis Fair and Ryan's the
same way. In a rush I was. It was in and out.
I was in a rush. I saw it, I admired it, I
give it the thumbs up, and I had to go. Don I had
to go. I'd like to see that, like you see video evidence.
What do you got? Is it just me? But why is Donnie even
complaining about the Canucks game and the Great Cup being on the same day.
He so cheap that it wouldn't affect him in any way? Michelle? Whoa
shots are flying a dollar? I have to say, I've been looking at
Michelle's timeline here with it. She takes a lot of shots at a lot
of shots to you. I got my haters, you got yours too?
Oh yeah, yeah, h Is it just me? On signed? If
the Canucks don't change their Great Cup date, there's gonna be lots of cheap
tickets on the secondary market. The arena maybe only half full. That's uh,
that's a good point. Thanks to that deep that's a good point.
Okay. Say the Lions are in the Great Cup game fifty four thousand,
okay, and then you got eighteen thousand over at the Canucks game at the
same time. So did the Canucks not think about this, you know they
did. They did not call the city and say just you know, it
just made it just reeks up. We are killing care. They don't care
where kings where kings that you don't have time to change it, right.
The white Caps and the Lions both had crowds of over fifty thousand. They're
both coming back. Lines are doing really well. The white Caps. You
know, if they can figure it out and get a good the market for
the white Caps is there to get thirty plus every game of the white Caps.
Like, I'm just saying that these two teams are coming on. They've
had big crowds. They you know, they're both turning it around. You
can't get too high in cocky at the top of the hill all the time.
And this looks sure looks like it sure looks like it north front of
you, Walt, Is it just me or aside from ignoring Patrick or this
is it competing with the Gray Cup? The worst promo decision made by Team
Aqualini, the Patrick Hernandez snub snub is just awful. This is right up
there with it. This is right you know more O November seventeenth against Nashville,
right up against the Gray Cup. What would Patrick say? Well,
let's call him and ask him. Let's call him and ask him. I
like this one right here, Donnie? Is it just me? Or is
the best DJ in Vancouver? Dakota Joshua? He provides all the hits?
Scott? I like that. I like that. Well, you're not going
to give Scott credit? No, I'm just sorry, Dakota Joshua. He
gives you all the hits. Is the best DJ in town? That's excellent,
great creativity? Is it just being unsigned? But isn't Dubrovnik? Where?
Why? Why am I bringing that up? That's where Farhan joined us
from today? Where and where was it? What country was he? Croatia?
Right? Croatia? Isn't that where they filmed the Walk of Shame from
the Game of Thrones? And is farhand walking it today? The Walk of
Shame scene in the Game of Thrones, which by the way, we can't
show, extremely memorable And I didn't know it was done. It was done
there. I'm not a game a game, he's a Game of Thrones.
Well, you don't know the title of the show, so I'm guessing you're
not a fan. What's the new one entered the dragon. What's it called
the House of Dragon? Okay, I got about three quarters of the way
do something with a dragon, three quarters of the way through slay the dragon
of a Game of Thrones, and I could care less dragon. I can
see why people like it, though there's a lot there. Yeah. Well
apparently apparently this past week this past weekend was a very graphic episode. Apparently
what do you got just me? Or is this season pud Colson's last chance
to show that he can be a full time NHL or he was a top
ten draft pick overall five years ago, he should be a regular by now.
Maybe Donnie was right, they should have taken a cold Caffield Pat my
ass uh, Pat My, just forget it? God, I Pat from
north Fan and so he's given you credit, Donnie. Maybe the Connects should
have taken Colfie hard to get past the sign off. There these guys and
these names, like what what what is the initiative to come up with Pat?
And then you know, like why did they do it? It's just
for a laugh, Yes I know, but I trust Why do you read
it? Is the big question because it looks like Pat m why he said?
And I read it? Anyways? What was the point there? But
once he got left in his contract, you know, he just signed for
two years. There you go, it's time. We'll see what Pat thinks
that this time next year? Uh? Is it just me? But oh
oh, this is good Mario and Richmond. Is it just me? This
is a smooth segment. Is it just me? But? Hey, don
do you have the eighty six ers schedule for next year? This is I've
been making a lot of mistakes slightly Maybe maybe my mind's on the vacation.
I'm not really sure, but I referred to the white Caps as the eighty
six ers recently, and I said that the Canucks were opening up the regular
season next season against Rogers Arena on our over ninth. Very good, Mario,
excellent, very nice. Well done. He's no Pat, there's no
Pat. Mario, good guy. It came through for us. There.

best of segments as well. Thanks so much for tuning in on behalf of
Ryan Derek Rick. Everybody here at oh Boy and check, I'm don and
