Speaker 1: camp going on for the Kudocks you wanted to.
Speaker 5: Talk about I know I didn't. I just think it's
Speaker 5: great having the kids in town. It gives as you say,
Speaker 5: give me you wanted to so some visuals just stopped on.
Speaker 5: It gives the fans hope. You always say what can
Speaker 5: you sell? You can sell hope. And the kids are
Speaker 5: in town.
Speaker 1: Ryan stopped is showing the video.
Speaker 5: Then, Ryan, you were getting mad at us. I was
Speaker 5: not getting mad at you. You told me there was.
Speaker 4: They were getting on a bus, the kids going to
Speaker 4: Avenue yesterday. There was a team bonding exercise. They got
Speaker 4: on a bus and they went paddling side.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 5: Stop, it's team bonding. Kids are in town. It's given
Speaker 5: the Cadocks fans hope. Are you kidding me? The Ryan
Speaker 5: Johnson speech right here?
Speaker 1: What are we seeing here? R? What lake are they
Speaker 1: going to? You have a no?
Speaker 5: You told me they're on a bus going to abb
Speaker 5: there they are, okay.
Speaker 4: But they're actually they're gonna start chanting.
Speaker 1: Looks like a school bus from nineteen eighty. So the
Speaker 1: focus is on the bus.
Speaker 5: Look at this watch listen is team BONDI at its path.
Speaker 4: They're yelling row row row.
Speaker 5: I see I'm into this stuff. I like this stuff.
Speaker 1: I like Ryan Johnson's speech to the kids.
Speaker 4: Yes, I don't think they're going to a lake. It's
Speaker 4: probably the Fraser River. Okay, it's a Abitsphord.
Speaker 1: But what's this looks like this? What are they supposed
Speaker 1: to do? Walk there?
Speaker 5: Have you seen the new buses? The kids driving the
Speaker 5: Western Hockey Leaue They're nine hundred thousand dollars bus.
Speaker 4: This is probably a five minute bus ride.
Speaker 5: It looks like a school bus from nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 1: But really the yellow bus.
Speaker 4: They're tightening the purse strings. The yellows with the can
Speaker 4: starting with the development camp bus.
Speaker 5: Yes, anyways, good stuff, Thank god we got this in.
Speaker 5: The kids are in town. They hope hope you start
Speaker 5: selling Stabitsford.
Speaker 1: Not hope.
Speaker 3: Oh it's average for Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you see what we have to put up
Speaker 4: with here. This is more on the development camp later.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to start the show off. I wanted
Speaker 4: to start it off with soccer, but you were really
Speaker 4: upset about it's not showing that very important past visuals there.
Speaker 4: But Canada now knows its opponent's going to be Saturday
Speaker 4: in Houston Morocco. Rick, you informed us earlier earlier that
Speaker 4: it's in Africa.
Speaker 5: I did some I didn't know, Like I'm not a geography.
Speaker 5: Morocco was a small country northern Africa. Thirty seven million,
Speaker 5: So I google that.
Speaker 1: I did need your homework.
Speaker 5: I didn't know how does a small country like that,
Speaker 5: Dawn have such a good soccer team. That's why I
Speaker 5: agree there's.
Speaker 4: Sixth rank in the world the world on the men's side, obviously,
Speaker 4: Canada is thirtieth. Keep in mind, Paraguay defeated the giant
Speaker 4: Germany yesterday four to three in penalty kicks. Think Paraguay
Speaker 4: forty first rank, So there's some there's some hope yesterday,
Speaker 4: and so Morocco ends up beating the Netherlands.
Speaker 1: In similar fashion three two on penalties. Loved it.
Speaker 4: Between the two games there were eight missed penalty but
Speaker 4: they both went to penalties, and there were eight missus,
Speaker 4: which you don't normally see it that the tension. I
Speaker 4: can't imagine being in that, in that situation. I can understand,
Speaker 4: you know, I know they're professionals and they've been involved
Speaker 4: in this sort of situation before. But man, talk about
Speaker 4: pressure and it got to some of them, But can
Speaker 4: cannot I know we've talked about this a million times,
Speaker 4: and you know other shows we've had, other people have
Speaker 4: talked about soccer's got to come up with a better
Speaker 4: way to determine winners on an important, massive stage like this,
Speaker 4: and I know World Cup finals have been decided on
Speaker 4: penalty kicks. There's got to be something better.
Speaker 1: And of course the old one question.
Speaker 4: I remember Bob Lanneroozy talking about this years and years ago.
Speaker 4: You go to extra time. In every five minutes, you
Speaker 4: take a player off from each side, so there's more space.
Speaker 1: More space.
Speaker 4: So as opposed to you know, ten you get a
Speaker 4: goal quick on each side, you get nine and down
Speaker 4: to eight and yeah, exactly, concept is three on three
Speaker 4: would be better than penalty kicks.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, absolutely.
Speaker 4: But having said that, it's incredible theater, it's great to watch.
Speaker 4: And so Canada versus Morocco Saturday. The game starts ten
Speaker 4: am in Houston, and soccer fans will know that Canada
Speaker 4: lost to Morocco you know.
Speaker 1: This in twenty.
Speaker 4: Twenty two by a score of two to one. Same
Speaker 4: group group, same group. So again Canada, Morocco and Brazil
Speaker 4: getting by. That was also a tremendous game, Japan taking
Speaker 4: the lead and then Brazil coming back, you know, and
Speaker 4: they end up winning two to one. It's just fabulous
Speaker 4: entertainment and I think even hardcore soccer people, you'd have
Speaker 4: to agree, it's got to be.
Speaker 1: A better way.
Speaker 4: It just it just seems unfair. It's not soccer. It's
Speaker 4: the same thing that you know, people say about the shootout,
Speaker 4: except you know, the difference being when it comes to
Speaker 4: the playoffs, the National Hockey League changes its rules. They
Speaker 4: don't go you know, they don't go to shootouts in
Speaker 4: the in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: It's so it's got a better way. Absolutely, got to
Speaker 1: be a better way.
Speaker 4: Okay, moving back to hockey now, Okay, let's let's focus
Speaker 4: on ex Canucks here.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, if you don't mind.
Speaker 4: For one, Derek dor Set, former Canuck, now a member
Speaker 4: of the Buffalo Sabers scouting staff along with Milan Lucis.
Speaker 4: There's a Vancouver connection there, obviously, with Milana the prior
Speaker 4: of East Van, former Vancouver Giant, more than the Vancouver Giants.
Speaker 4: In a second as well, Jacob Markstrom is going back
Speaker 4: to the Florida Panthers, and people might say, don what
Speaker 4: the heck you talking about. Jacob used to play for
Speaker 4: the Canucks and the Flames. He was originally drafted by
Speaker 4: the Florida Panthers in the second round way back in
Speaker 4: two thousand and eight. That was the Cody Hodson Draft.
Speaker 4: Just give you an idea how how long ago that was.
Speaker 4: So he goes back to the Panthers from New Jersey
Speaker 4: to Florida along with a local kid, Angus Krookshank.
Speaker 5: Angus Crookshank from North Vancouver who played the North Shore
Speaker 5: Winter Club ninety nine born players. So he's on his
Speaker 5: way to Florida.
Speaker 4: In return, Jersey gets Evan Roderriguez, Yes Pervoquist and Ben
Speaker 4: Steves Markstrom starts a two year contract, a six million
Speaker 4: dollar av So the Panthers getting ready or they've accepted
Speaker 4: that serge Lebroski is going to move on from the
Speaker 4: Panthers as a UFA, maybe tomorrow when Bob the free
Speaker 4: agency period starts.
Speaker 5: So they had to do this because they couldn't sign
Speaker 5: re signed Bob Rovski. Donni looks like he's looking for
Speaker 5: a lot of term, which Florida doesn't want to give him.
Speaker 1: So coming off of.
Speaker 4: Really for him, disappointing regular season, and we all know
Speaker 4: about his playoff heroics, but his regular season, I believe
Speaker 4: his numbers were as bad as they've been, if not
Speaker 4: the poorest ever.
Speaker 5: The great thing about Markstrom. He's only got two years left,
Speaker 5: so Florida's looking. Hey, let's give him a shot. If
Speaker 5: not doesn't work out, he doesn't have much term left.
Speaker 4: You don't have the energy you did, Don, What are
Speaker 4: you talking about all the energy.
Speaker 1: You did when you saw the development camp.
Speaker 5: And by the way, those kids are going to Chiliwac
Speaker 5: Whitewater rafting. Okay, text line there you go. Well, this
Speaker 5: just in it's near Abbitsford Vetta River. It's those companies,
Speaker 5: those buses by the Vetter River. You know the Vettera
Speaker 5: River in Chiliwac. I've been there, You've been there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, somebody texting in the BASEID inbox helping us out. Also,
Speaker 4: let's talk about the UFA period for the Canucks. What
Speaker 4: can you tell us about Connor Clifton?
Speaker 5: So another defenseman I expect the Canucks to poke around
Speaker 5: is right shot defenseman Connor Clifton played last year in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5: Three years ago Canucks had interest in him. Don, he
Speaker 5: signed in Buffalo instead of Vancouver. He really likes Vancouver.
Speaker 5: He would have no issues coming here. Shut down.
Speaker 4: Guy that's from New Jersey's America.
Speaker 1: He likes Vancouver.
Speaker 5: He's a shutdown guy, penalty killer, stay at home type,
Speaker 5: loves to hit, block shots, brings grit. I can see
Speaker 5: why the Canucks are going to take a look at him.
Speaker 5: So keep an eye on Connor Clifton if something happens there.
Speaker 5: But that's a defenseman. I played big minutes don in
Speaker 5: the Bruins twenty nineteen Stanley Cup run.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Keep an eye on Connor Clifton.
Speaker 4: And there's a right handed center they're they're interested in
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is.
Speaker 5: I expect the Canucks to check in on players like
Speaker 5: Kevin Stenland, six foot three right shot. Ryan Johnson said
Speaker 5: he wants size. Well, Stenlin's got sized on. He's six
Speaker 5: to three. Utah, Yep, that's right, yep, Yeah, if he
Speaker 5: hits the market, Eric Halla, left winger, you know guys
Speaker 5: like that. Duck's tough guy Jeffrey vill I expect to
Speaker 5: hit the market done. I certainly noticed him during the
Speaker 5: playoffs at Bingal Bingal. But here's what's going on and
Speaker 5: talking to agents last night, tough guys are asking for
Speaker 5: a lot of money because of what Scott mccerron got
Speaker 5: in Minnesota three point three over six years. So all
Speaker 5: these tough guys. The market, the market for tough guys
Speaker 5: has gone up, and guys like VLL who made seven
Speaker 5: to seventy five, I'm looking for way, way more, three
Speaker 5: four times more. So, all I'm saying is the market
Speaker 5: for tough guys that shifted because of what McCarron got.
Speaker 5: It's not going to be cheap for the Canucks to
Speaker 5: get that tough guy.
Speaker 4: Ryan Johnson should take and I'm sure some people will
Speaker 4: agree with this. Who will follow the Canucks for a
Speaker 4: long long time should take Ray Ferraro's old advice when
Speaker 4: it comes to the situation the Canucks are in, take
Speaker 4: your cell phone and.
Speaker 1: Just throw it away. Throw it away for the day.
Speaker 1: What are the Canucks people?
Speaker 4: People around here a gunshy regarding unrestricted free agency. There
Speaker 4: have been so many bad ones, so many bad contracts.
Speaker 4: There's nothing against the players. Here's bad deal. Here's the
Speaker 4: problem for starting with Mark Messier, absolute Louis Rickson.
Speaker 1: Louis Erickson, Beagle, Verstell. Here's the problem.
Speaker 5: Canucks need defenseman. They lost Forbert, they lost Pierre Joseph Olivier,
Speaker 5: Olivia Pier, they lost him. Don go with Poj Poj Poj.
Speaker 5: They lost poj Well they didn't lose him, they didn't
Speaker 5: bring them back. So they need veteran defenseman. So they're
Speaker 5: going and Cole you said that in Cole yesterday, so
Speaker 5: Connor Clifton today. These are the type of guys that
Speaker 5: Canucks are looking for, a veteran defense who can help
Speaker 5: the young kids bully them. And Willander Clifton is a
Speaker 5: great guy. Ian Cole, we know brings that. So these
Speaker 5: are the type of guys that are looking for. They
Speaker 5: need defensemen. There's too many young defensemen. They need more
Speaker 5: veteran d in Vancouver. They're gonna go out and get
Speaker 5: them some stability.
Speaker 4: Stabil experience. Absolutely, much like Brandon Gallagher upfront.
Speaker 5: I want them to go after Colton Scisions, the kid
Speaker 5: from North Vancouver, if he hits it. But right now
Speaker 5: I'm hearing through.
Speaker 4: The grape vine part of Vegas's playoff drift. I'm hearing
Speaker 4: that Vancouver's not showing interest in Colton Scisons so.
Speaker 1: As of now, but that could change. Okay.
Speaker 4: Back to the Canucks development camp in Abbotsford, Chiliwak yesterday,
Speaker 4: as you pointed out the Vetter River, seven of nine
Speaker 4: of this year's Cannuck draft picks are there, including Caleblehultra,
Speaker 4: Adam Novotni, Big Brooks for Gowski on the ice with
Speaker 4: this team. And this is interesting because Manny Malholtra hasn't
Speaker 4: named his assistants. Ryan Johnson hasn't named Manny Malholtra's assistance yet.
Speaker 4: And there's still the the matter of the coaching staff
Speaker 4: in Abbotsford that Richard Seely's are working on. But Alex Edler,
Speaker 4: he's got great is going to be on the ice
Speaker 4: helping the kids out in Abbotsford. Did he go?
Speaker 1: Do we know if he was on the.
Speaker 5: River rocking in Vetter Lake? Is it Vetter River?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Chill Ryan, don't shake your head you think you
Speaker 5: know where Vetter River is? Have you been there? Cultis Lake?
Speaker 5: I've been to Cultist it's a veteran. No, it's not
Speaker 5: a Cultist Lake. Is the team bonding wise to cultas
Speaker 5: right now, But it's not Cultist Lake. Cultist Lake is beautiful.
Speaker 5: I could be there all day.
Speaker 4: You were the king of the water slides out there.
Speaker 5: I heard, Hey, Cultist Lake water slides not as good
Speaker 5: as the Twasson ones. Well not to Washton water slides
Speaker 5: are much better. I take that to the bank. I
Speaker 5: had something for you. You got this summer.
Speaker 1: You might have point. Without getting into.
Speaker 5: Detailed Canucks assistant coaches, I'm still hearing there's interest in
Speaker 5: Memorial Cup winning coach. Uh, you see a cost? So anyways,
Speaker 5: it will cost whatever. But they Canucks have looked at
Speaker 5: him done so? Uh why does every name the Canucks
Speaker 5: go after a problem for me?
Speaker 1: Anyways? You see a cost?
Speaker 5: Kitchen arrangers coach don I wonder if they're still poking
Speaker 5: around him my last check.
Speaker 1: I might want to start with getting his name right.
Speaker 5: Hokus hocus, Yeah, okay, so you're you're, you're, you're, you're
Speaker 5: you're an expert on how to say a hocus like
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm just looking at it.
Speaker 1: Finish, he's spentish. You're you're an expert on finished names.
Speaker 4: You see, I think I was closer than you were. Okay,
Speaker 4: say it again, hocus that's my guess anyway, all right,
Speaker 4: or a coss a costs.
Speaker 1: I think they're still poking. We've got a break.
Speaker 4: I don't know if we don't have time for the
Speaker 4: Ryan Johnson clip on Brandon Gallagher. Okay, here's what's he's
Speaker 4: what's coming you know what, the next time we have
Speaker 4: a member of the Canucks on asking him, ask them
Speaker 4: about the bus situation at development camp if they can't
Speaker 4: buck up a little bit more. Yeah, absolutely, If we
Speaker 4: have UCA cors Alaska DTMZ is it just me coming
Speaker 4: up eleven o'clock hour, Craig Button will join us just
Speaker 4: after eleven o'clock post a draft and Craig will have
Speaker 4: a thing or two to say about Brendan Gallagher and
Speaker 4: about Neil's Hoglander on his way to Nashville from Vancouver.
Speaker 4: Big Rye Twitter guy. Later this hour, Paul Dolan for
Speaker 4: a second day in a row, our World Cup analyst
Speaker 4: from Apple TV. He's going to talk about that matchup
Speaker 4: that we know about now on Saturday in Houston ten am.

Speaker 4: This is from Dan, the salesman. In the baseline inbox.
Speaker 4: It's clear you guys have never been rafting.
Speaker 1: I have it. That's the rafting company's bus to take
Speaker 1: you up the river.
Speaker 4: It has nothing to do well other than the fact
Speaker 4: that Canucks prospects for in the bus is nothing.
Speaker 5: But it could be a school bus like a yellow
Speaker 5: bus on the outside, don't.
Speaker 1: We'll look into that and we'll get back to you.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, with the development camp going on in all sorts
Speaker 4: of news regarding O'Neil's Hoaglander and Brendan Gallagher, we bring
Speaker 4: in Ian McIntyre for sportsnetsportsnet dot Ca.
Speaker 1: Are you, sir.
Speaker 7: I'm doing well. I was just saying to Ryan off
Speaker 7: the air that I'm always impressed and amazed that you
Speaker 7: guys are able to fill your airtime to now from
Speaker 7: the end of the Canucks season. And I have no
Speaker 7: idea what exactly you were talking about with school buses
Speaker 7: and rafting, but this is how this is how the
Speaker 7: pros do.
Speaker 1: It exactly, So whatever it takes, whatever, Now.
Speaker 7: You guys must be as excited this week as all
Speaker 7: the school kids in BC were last week.
Speaker 4: Because this is our last week before summer. Is that
Speaker 4: what you're talking about?
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, yes?
Speaker 7: Or is that a secret? Just crush your audience.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry everyone why. I think our audience is excited
Speaker 4: about us taking time off as well.
Speaker 1: So there there there.
Speaker 4: Is that okay, development camp going on in Atmosford. Yesterday
Speaker 4: they were rafting in chiliwac Okay, So that's hence the
Speaker 4: bus and the paddles and young men and helmets.
Speaker 7: But that's kind of that's kind of a high risk activity.
Speaker 1: No kidding, I never thought of that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, hopefully they didn't lose any prospects.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Hey, Ian on the ice with the kids.
Speaker 4: We know Alex Edler's going to be there. What are
Speaker 4: we going to hear about Manny Maholtz was coach staff?
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I think I think there are some pieces
Speaker 7: in place, and you you probably know Ryan Johnson said
Speaker 7: yesterday he hopes that by the end of this week
Speaker 7: he'll he'll have an announcement. I think it may surprise
Speaker 7: when it is announced. It may surprise some people that
Speaker 7: there isn't I don't believe there's going to be like
Speaker 7: an experienced NHL coach, certainly not one who's been an
Speaker 7: NHL head coach. But I think the organization obviously has
Speaker 7: looked at at has looked at these things. You know, Ry,
Speaker 7: Ryan's a smart guy. You know, the Citians are smart guys.
Speaker 7: I think they just feel like where the team is
Speaker 7: in this rebuild, so much of the emphasis is going
Speaker 7: to be on player developments and teaching. So you're going
Speaker 7: to have I think you're going to have a staff
Speaker 7: that reflects that. I think you're going to have a
Speaker 7: lot of guys who are used to working with young players,
Speaker 7: used to working in player development and doing a lot
Speaker 7: of teaching and us. There's certainly going to be a
Speaker 7: need for that around the Canucks for the next two
Speaker 7: three four years, hopefully not for seven years like the
Speaker 7: Sharks and Anaheim. I'm going by their schedule for how
Speaker 7: long the rebuild took to make it back to the playoffs.
Speaker 7: Hopefully it's just three or four years. But obviously there's
Speaker 7: going to be a lot of inexperienced younger players who
Speaker 7: need to learn. I think the staff will reflect that.
Speaker 4: As long as that rebuild doesn't take fifty plus years.
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 4: Hey, Brent Brendan Poyd. Yeah, Brendan Gallagher A couple of
Speaker 4: things with him. First of all, any idea what the
Speaker 4: future's part of this is going to HAB's way if anything?
Speaker 4: And secondly, how much gas do you think is left
Speaker 4: in the tank for Brendan?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know what the futures are, and we've
Speaker 7: seen in some recent cases the futures are nothing, So
Speaker 7: whatever the cost is going to be, it's negligible. I
Speaker 7: think Brendan probably still has some fuel in the tank.
Speaker 7: I know that he has the f fire in the belly.
Speaker 7: If I'm going to drop other cliches on live television,
Speaker 7: still has the fire in the belly because obviously it
Speaker 7: didn't sit well with him what happened, particularly in the
Speaker 7: playoffs in Montreal, you know, dressing for only three games.
Speaker 7: So he's highly motivated. But listen, even if the Canucks
Speaker 7: are getting the seven goal Brendan Gallagher for this season,
Speaker 7: he's still going to help them because we've talked so
Speaker 7: much about you know, culture and leadership, and the Canucks
Speaker 7: are just starting now to try to build the right
Speaker 7: kind of culture and Brendan will help that. I think
Speaker 7: it's a no risk move. I know that Evander Kine
Speaker 7: blew up in the Canucks faces last season. It's hard
Speaker 7: to think of two guys, even though they both played
Speaker 7: for the Vancouver Giants, it's hard to think of two
Speaker 7: guys who are more different in their approach than Evander
Speaker 7: and Brendan. So I think Brendan is going to help them.
Speaker 7: And if he helps a lot on the ice, well,
Speaker 7: the Canucks have another trade ship that they can move
Speaker 7: at the deadline. Brendan obviously has made it clear he
Speaker 7: wants to play beyond this season. So if he has
Speaker 7: a good season with the Canucks and he rebuilds some
Speaker 7: trade value, the Canucks could end up with an asset
Speaker 7: at the trade deadline. It could be a win win
Speaker 7: for Vancouver. But at minimum, he's a guy who's going
Speaker 7: to come in help their young players, help the dressing room,
Speaker 7: help the culture, and if he's the seven goal guy
Speaker 7: right now, the Canucks can afford to have that version
Speaker 7: of Brendan Gallagher on their team.
Speaker 5: Free agency tomorrow ian we know July first, as Brian
Speaker 5: Burke says, a lot of crazy contracts, but a lot
Speaker 5: of big names are off the list for tomorrow because
Speaker 5: they signed with the salary cap going up. What do
Speaker 5: you expect from the Canucks tomorrow when it comes to
Speaker 5: July first?
Speaker 7: I expect it to be pretty quiet, and I think
Speaker 7: the players that they announced will all be hit hitting
Speaker 7: Hockey dB, just to make sure we know we know
Speaker 7: who these guys are. They do need some bodies. They
Speaker 7: only got, you know, thirty six contracts. I think you know.
Speaker 7: The the transaction yesterday I found interesting because it wasn't
Speaker 7: just Gallagher in. It was it was Nils Hoglander out,
Speaker 7: And I like Nils a lot, but we know that
Speaker 7: he had he had struggled under basically every coach. He
Speaker 7: had to find that consistency and dependability in his game.
Speaker 7: And last week, I'm going to back up another step.
Speaker 7: Last week, Ryan Johnson said, sometimes even a little move
Speaker 7: changes the dynamics I'm paraphrasing, brings some energy, adds a
Speaker 7: little bit of excitement, and I think yesterday was a
Speaker 7: template for that. Like on the surface, if you're watching
Speaker 7: the Transaction Wire, especially if you're watching it from outside
Speaker 7: of Vancouver, Nils Hoglander out Brendan Gallagher and you kind
Speaker 7: of like, well whatever, But it's going to make a
Speaker 7: difference to their culture. And I think we're going to
Speaker 7: see in players that they add, whether it's tomorrow in
Speaker 7: free agency, whether they nibble away at the roster over
Speaker 7: the summer, which I expect them to do. Add a
Speaker 7: player here, sign a player there. I think we're going
Speaker 7: to see more of those those moves. I don't think
Speaker 7: we're going to see anything that takes remotely takes your
Speaker 7: breath away, but I do think they're going to look
Speaker 7: for more Brendan Gallaghers out there, guys who have some
Speaker 7: professionalism and character in tangrity leadership and obviously can still
Speaker 7: play a little bit and try and bring more guys
Speaker 7: into their room to support these young players that they
Speaker 7: have coming.
Speaker 5: What do you think of Ryan Johnson so far? You know,
Speaker 5: last Wednesday there was four trades in the NHL. Everybody
Speaker 5: in Vancouver, Oh, you got to make a trade. Why
Speaker 5: aren't the Canucks making trade? He waited five days later.
Speaker 5: He's going to be patient and it doesn't look like
Speaker 5: he's going to do any knee jerk reactions.
Speaker 1: What do you think of him so far?
Speaker 7: Well, I've liked Ryan Johnson for years and I said
Speaker 7: in a couple of these media appearances before they signed
Speaker 7: their GM that I thought he would be an excellent
Speaker 7: GM and I and I still do. But one thing
Speaker 7: I know about Ryan, and the same applies to Henrik
Speaker 7: and Daniel Sedine, is they're they're going to do what
Speaker 7: they say they're they're not You're right, They're not going
Speaker 7: to have any knee jerk reactions to things, and so
Speaker 7: I think it's important that we listen to what to
Speaker 7: what they're saying and what some of the things that
Speaker 7: Ryan has talked about is, you know, building this long
Speaker 7: term step by step, not taking shortcuts, not deviating from
Speaker 7: their plan or their vision, as he calls it. And
Speaker 7: in this first month or so, I think I think
Speaker 7: he has adhered to that. You know, I'm not sure
Speaker 7: what big trades people would like the Canucks to do. Obviously,
Speaker 7: you know, they've got to settle Ilias Petterson and what
Speaker 7: his future is, and there's other guys who are on
Speaker 7: long term. You know, ideally, it'd probably be better to
Speaker 7: find a new home for Jake Debrusk with where the
Speaker 7: Canucks are, I think Debrusk, you know, he's a twenty
Speaker 7: five goal scorer, but he's also five and a half
Speaker 7: million for the next five years, and I'm not sure
Speaker 7: Jake is happy. So yeah, you can look at at
Speaker 7: players and say, well, this would be better here, this
Speaker 7: would be better there. But Johnson also said last week
Speaker 7: this isn't a selloff, and I thought that was a
Speaker 7: hugely important message, and that's the first time we actually
Speaker 7: heard that. I would say they could have gotten that
Speaker 7: message out earlier, that yes, it's a rebuild, but it's
Speaker 7: not a sell off. That's not the approach they're taking.
Speaker 7: They're not just trying to dump all their players and
Speaker 7: have a hollowed out team of entirely of young experience
Speaker 7: in experienced prospects. That's not the way they're going to
Speaker 7: do it. I know a lot of people don't like
Speaker 7: that message, but that's the way Johnson and the cities
Speaker 7: are approaching this. So you know, there could still be
Speaker 7: and I would be surprised if we get to training
Speaker 7: camp next year and all these veterans who are on
Speaker 7: the team now are still on the team. I think
Speaker 7: there will be another couple of transactions, but it's not
Speaker 7: a sell off. They're not just they can't afford just
Speaker 7: to give players away. Yes, you can trade Jake debrask
Speaker 7: and take back maybe something fairly modest because you're getting
Speaker 7: rid of that contract. But they're not shedding Ilias Petterson
Speaker 7: just to be rid of him.
Speaker 4: They can't do that.
Speaker 7: He's still a fifty to sixty point guy. He's a
Speaker 7: guy who doesn't hurt them in the dressing room. He's
Speaker 7: a very enigmatic player, but he's not a bad person
Speaker 7: and he's not hindering. He's not yelling at the prospects,
Speaker 7: so he's not a guy that you need to just
Speaker 7: dump from your dressing room in order to move forward.
Speaker 7: And they're not going to trade Elias Petterson unless they
Speaker 7: get a return that they can live with. It's not it.
Speaker 7: I think it would be naive to think it would
Speaker 7: be a return that people say, well that was The
Speaker 7: Canucks are going to be better just talent wise without
Speaker 7: Elius Petterson's probably not going to be that. They're still
Speaker 7: to make that deal. You're going to be giving up
Speaker 7: something just to be rid of the contract. But they
Speaker 7: can't just give them away. They need they need something
Speaker 7: good in return. And you know, I don't think there's
Speaker 7: a lot of teams out there, you know, lying up
Speaker 7: to make big bids for Ilias Petterson. So in the meantime,
Speaker 7: Ryan Johnson and the Sedines they'll they'll wait and they'll
Speaker 7: continue to to watch the market. And you know how
Speaker 7: hard all those guys works, as most gms do. You
Speaker 7: kind of have to in this league. Patrick Alvin was
Speaker 7: one of the hardest working guys I ever saw. But yeah,
Speaker 7: there's not going to be fireworks. It's little sparks here
Speaker 7: and there.
Speaker 1: Are you enjoying the World Cup? Yeah?
Speaker 7: I am enjoying the World Cup, but it drives me
Speaker 7: nuts these penalty shootouts.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, just we talked, I agree just as.
Speaker 7: With the NHL, like for decades now, basically since they
Speaker 7: brought in a single point for losing an Overhamit. My
Speaker 7: my beef has been they have to have three points
Speaker 7: for a win, and nobody's listening to me. But in soccer,
Speaker 7: my beef is you can't settle huge games on penalty shootouts.
Speaker 7: And what they should do is when they get to
Speaker 7: extra time, first ten minutes you go down to ten. Yes,
Speaker 7: next ten minutes you go down to nine. Third ten
Speaker 7: minutes you go down to eight. And the argument from
Speaker 7: from FIFA, which changes about as fast as well, probably
Speaker 7: less fast than glaciers are changing these days, but their
Speaker 7: argument has always been, well, the game is too demanding.
Speaker 7: You'll have players literally die on the field if you
Speaker 7: ask them to play that long perfect Maybe in some
Speaker 7: cases it's hard to tell. It looks like a lot
Speaker 7: of them are dying already.
Speaker 4: Well I don't, I don't, I don't mean literally dying.
Speaker 4: But if they're tired, they make mistakes, and mistakes lead
Speaker 4: the chances, which leads to entertainment.
Speaker 7: Is nothing, right, but you can you can also just
Speaker 7: add more substitutions. Guys like they've all right finally after decades,
Speaker 7: they've gone from three to five substitutions. You could you
Speaker 7: could add another for each stage of that overtime or
Speaker 7: extra time as they say in footy and and so
Speaker 7: in theory. By the end of it, if you're playing
Speaker 7: eight on eight, you've got eight fresh guys on the field.
Speaker 7: Though I think teams would keep the goalie and go
Speaker 7: with seven fresh runners. But it would be a far
Speaker 7: far better way, and I think it would have pretty
Speaker 7: much the same effect as four on four and then
Speaker 7: three on three overtime, and hockey has of settling games.
Speaker 7: We'd at least get to see a real goal to
Speaker 7: settle these games. It's been great, it's been great the
Speaker 7: tournament Canada.
Speaker 4: What can you say, and you're wrong, by the way, Ian,
Speaker 4: everybody listens to you. Oh they might not act afterwards,
Speaker 4: but everybody listens to you. Certainly today, this is the
Speaker 4: last time we're going to have you on the show
Speaker 4: or our season ends on Thursday.
Speaker 1: So thanks for all your help. We really appreciate it.
Speaker 7: Well, thank you for having me on, and good for
Speaker 7: you guys for having another fantastic season. The Canucks may
Speaker 7: have sucked, but you guys were great.
Speaker 4: Oh oh thanks. I summer.
Speaker 1: See you guys, Ian McIntyre.

Speaker 4: Able Auctions Dot c A.
Speaker 1: He joined us yesterday.
Speaker 4: He joins us today now that we know Canada's Round
Speaker 4: of sixteen matchup from Apple TV don and Donny World
Speaker 4: Cup analyst Paul Dolan, Paul, thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 1: Are you.
Speaker 8: Sicking me yet?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, not me absolutely yeah. And we've
Speaker 4: been informed you're doing this hit for free, so that
Speaker 4: helps us. So Morocco defeats the Netherlands three to two
Speaker 4: on penalties, it will be Canada versus Morocco. And we
Speaker 4: saw that matchup in twenty twenty two and a Qatar
Speaker 4: Round of sixteen Saturday in Houston. Before we get to
Speaker 4: that matchup Germany Paraguay. Same thing. Penalty kicks, Paul. I
Speaker 4: know we've probably talked about this before. We talked about
Speaker 4: in the previous second segment with Ian.
Speaker 1: Is there not going to be?
Speaker 4: Is there not a better way to decide big World Cup,
Speaker 4: big international matches and we're talking about the world's most
Speaker 4: popular sport. Is there not a better way to do it?
Speaker 8: I remember this about you, Donnie. You're really anti penalty kicks,
Speaker 8: and a lot of people are because it's not actually
Speaker 8: part of the ninety minute game or one hundred and
Speaker 8: twenty minute game.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 8: You have to look at the alternatives. And someone just
Speaker 8: mentioned an alternative to me today that I didn't I
Speaker 8: didn't hate, which was to have the penalty kicks right
Speaker 8: after ninety minutes, which would mean that over the course
Speaker 8: of the next thirty minutes, you knew which way you
Speaker 8: had to go, whether you had to press the issue
Speaker 8: or because what we're seeing oftentimes in the thirty minutes
Speaker 8: is teams afraid to lose and there's not enough attacking
Speaker 8: impetus and they just sit off, waiting the thirty minutes
Speaker 8: out so that they get to the penalty kicks. But
Speaker 8: how about the drama within it.
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't turn away.
Speaker 4: I didn't turn away. I watched the whole thing. The
Speaker 4: tension is unbelievable.
Speaker 8: It is, it is, and so I don't have a
Speaker 8: huge problem with it. I don't think you can go
Speaker 8: to the thirty five yard shootout. You cannot continue to play.
Speaker 8: I mean, the football will get even worse at that point.
Speaker 8: And with the turnaround in a tournament, it's just you
Speaker 8: could have games that go on another ninety plus minutes.
Speaker 8: So I understand, especially for television, you have to package it,
Speaker 8: so I'm fine with it, and I like the drama
Speaker 8: that comes with I will say this though, is that
Speaker 8: I'm really disappointed to see a team like Germany go
Speaker 8: out and rewarding a team like Paraguay that was just
Speaker 8: defending the whole game. To me, that's I didn't like
Speaker 8: the way that Paraguay played. Aside from Andrius Kubis, who
Speaker 8: was fantastic and always plays the same way, determined and
Speaker 8: physical but doesn't cross the line, I felt there was
Speaker 8: a few Paraguay and players that crossed the line in
Speaker 8: terms of diving and rolling around and hacking players down.
Speaker 8: I didn't like that type of play, but fair duce
Speaker 8: to them. In the end they get through. You know,
Speaker 8: there was four German players in the penalty kick shootout
Speaker 8: who said, nah, I don't fancy it, and that means
Speaker 8: that the center back who had scored that goal that
Speaker 8: was disallowed by the way and never should have been
Speaker 8: in my opinion, Yes, heaped up and you could see
Speaker 8: he smashed the ball over the net and had no
Speaker 8: confidence at all. So that was another storyline that was
Speaker 8: quite interesting.
Speaker 4: So those German players agree with.
Speaker 8: Me, then yeah, they don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: What do you know? All right, Well, I hope you
Speaker 4: know a lot because we're going to talk Canada Morocco.
Speaker 1: Now what sticks out when you look at this matchup?
Speaker 8: I'm worried for Canada, I really am. They of the
Speaker 8: two opponents are both great teams, the Netherlands and Morocco.
Speaker 8: I was kind of hoping that we would get Netherlands
Speaker 8: just for the marquee historical matchup of you know what,
Speaker 8: the Dutch have always brought to a World Cup, but
Speaker 8: the better team won that game. Morocco is so physically imposing.
Speaker 8: They're quick, they're skillful, they're determined. They play cohesively, just
Speaker 8: as they did in twenty twenty two when they went
Speaker 8: to the semifinals and they beat to Canada in that
Speaker 8: game too to one. There's about half the players from
Speaker 8: each team that will be returning. And if you remember,
Speaker 8: in that game, Canada actually did okay after falling behind
Speaker 8: two one. I think there are two nothing in that
Speaker 8: game and then Atakoobi got one back and then Atiba
Speaker 8: hits the crossbar in the dying moments that could have
Speaker 8: tied that game. But Canada did have the higher expected
Speaker 8: goals in that game. Because of the game state. I
Speaker 8: think you know they're pressing late in that match, but
Speaker 8: as an opponent, I don't know that they could have
Speaker 8: gotten a more difficult one truly, in terms of their
Speaker 8: these guys are beasts, you know they are. They fight
Speaker 8: for absolutely every end on the field, and I think
Speaker 8: Jesse Marsh has to change the technical game plan for
Speaker 8: Canada a little bit based on that. If we go
Speaker 8: as aggressively and try to shut down Roco tight in
Speaker 8: their own end like we've done against other teams, they're
Speaker 8: skillful enough to break out of that, and then with
Speaker 8: the space in behind it, they'll have to attack. Look
Speaker 8: out because they have some really dangerous quick forwards as well.
Speaker 5: Hey, Paul, watching last night on television the penalty kicks,
Speaker 5: you almost seem to think, hey, this is easy. It's
Speaker 5: a big net's a goalie to score. He should score.
Speaker 5: It looks easy on television, But can you take us
Speaker 5: through the mindset of a goaltender.
Speaker 1: What are you looking at the legs first? The ball?
Speaker 5: How are you approach a penalty shot? The legs, the
Speaker 5: which way he's kicking? I mean that Paul explained to him.
Speaker 5: What are you looking at when you're a goaltender.
Speaker 8: I'm looking at the cows and the thigh.
Speaker 1: Easy, which way is foot's going right? Left? Come on, Paul,
Speaker 1: help me.
Speaker 8: There is an element of picking up clues.
Speaker 1: Thank you there.
Speaker 8: Generally, and this you know, a lot has changed, maybe
Speaker 8: even since I played, where it was a little bit
Speaker 8: more straightforward. There's some really tricky players now it really
Speaker 8: is a mind game. Most of the goalkeepers will have
Speaker 8: a book is sometimes even taped to their water bottle
Speaker 8: about where this player shoots, generally, but then it does
Speaker 8: become a mind game of okay, well the shooter knows
Speaker 8: that the keeper knows, and then he goes the other way,
Speaker 8: and you go back and forth the clues that I
Speaker 8: used to I mean, it's as simple as if right
Speaker 8: footed kickers tend to like to come across the ball
Speaker 8: and shoot into the left corner. As you look at it,
Speaker 8: I don't think you can wait till the last minute.
Speaker 8: But keepers nowadays, much more so than when I played, too,
Speaker 8: really have to stay on the line. I think it's
Speaker 8: actually almost a benefit of the keeper now that he
Speaker 8: does have to stay on the line, because he's not
Speaker 8: giving up that side of the goal as quickly as
Speaker 8: we often saw in the past, but it's more about
Speaker 8: the mind game than it is anything that you see physically.
Speaker 8: As a clue I find.
Speaker 5: All right, what about the shocker Germany's out Paraguay in
Speaker 5: forty first ranked against the top ten ranked Germans. How
Speaker 5: surprising was that for.
Speaker 8: You going into the game? I would have said that
Speaker 8: was a big shock, because the US smashed Paraguay. For one,
Speaker 8: you know, credit to them for clinging to a man
Speaker 8: down situation against turkeya to shut them out and get
Speaker 8: themselves through essentially without result. But the better side going
Speaker 8: in you would have thought would be Germany based on
Speaker 8: rankings and quality of player. But I was disappointed with
Speaker 8: the way that Germany didn't take advantage of some of
Speaker 8: those so called skill players. They had no ideas, they
Speaker 8: couldn't break down Paraguay and it's a disappointment to see
Speaker 8: them go. But in some respects, even the one of
Speaker 8: their top players, Joshua Kimmich, said, we didn't do enough
Speaker 8: to win this game, and we didn't deserve to win it.
Speaker 8: So as upset as I am to see the big
Speaker 8: guys go out, like the Netherlands and obviously Germany in
Speaker 8: this case, and Brazil was minute away from having to
Speaker 8: go the extra time and possibly penalties as well. It's
Speaker 8: a good story to see that. It seems as if
Speaker 8: the lower ranked teams are learning about ways to compete
Speaker 8: with these top ranked teams. And I think, you know,
Speaker 8: we'll see that maybe again with Capt Verdie playing against Argentina.
Speaker 8: That would be a massive upset, of course, but it's
Speaker 8: not like the old days where minos so called minos
Speaker 8: would get smashed by the big teams. Most of the
Speaker 8: games are really close now.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely, and it's a good omen for Canada. Paraguay
Speaker 4: beats to Germany, but forty first ranked team knocking off
Speaker 4: a giant, as Jesse Marsh would say, I think that's
Speaker 4: that bodes well maybe for Canada. Hey, Tolie, thanks, We
Speaker 4: will agree to disagree on how to end big matches
Speaker 4: on the international stage, but thanks so much for this.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure this is going to be your last tip,
Speaker 4: but thanks for helping us out.
Speaker 8: We will see what the World Cup final. If not,
Speaker 8: you bet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I made that promise yesterday and I'll stick do it, baby. Thanks,
Speaker 4: Thanks Dolly, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Canada Morocco Saturday.
Speaker 4: We thank Paul Dolan from Apple TV and Donnie and
Speaker 4: Donnie and Donny wild Cup analyst.
Speaker 1: Watling Dog poll.
Speaker 4: Question has to do with the Canucks as we take

Speaker 5: At the dog Today, Rick Ryan got her up a
Speaker 5: waddling dog pop pole question. Do you agree with Ryan
Speaker 5: Johnson's decision to emphasize grit size and toughness when it
Speaker 5: comes to building the Canucks roster? Eighty seven percent say yes,
Speaker 5: thirteen percent say no. Canucks have been too easy to
Speaker 5: play against for several several years, Donnie and I want
Speaker 5: to see them address some toughness tomorrow. Get somebody to
Speaker 5: replace Curtis Douglas and go from there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Part of the development for their good young goaltenders, Rick,
Speaker 4: we understand is that they'll be looking at the shooter's legs.
Speaker 1: Stop it. Dolly knew what I meant.
Speaker 4: I think he did actually, which was stunning. Big right
Speaker 4: Twitter guy, Next Toney Dolly the team on check.

Speaker 4: This is Braiden from Abbotsford Base side inboxes before we
Speaker 4: get to Big Rye Ricketts pronounced the hocus Pocus from Abbitsford.
Speaker 1: So what's Braden saying? He's having some fun? Oh, I
Speaker 1: see what you mean with the hocus His name Big Ryan?
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, a significant news conference I think is
Speaker 3: just wrapped up. Guys in Surrey with Mayor Brenda Locke
Speaker 3: and also Vancouver Giants majority owner ron Toige, and that
Speaker 3: is the official announcement of this rumored ten thousand seat
Speaker 3: arena being built in Surrey. It's being built right across
Speaker 3: the street essentially from the Surrey Central skytrain station. I believe,
Speaker 3: on the plot of land. If you're familiar with the
Speaker 3: area where the old Safeway is, there's a Safeway. It's
Speaker 3: up the street from the Lions facility. The very very close.
Speaker 3: We got our first look at some renderings of the building.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be ten thousand seats. There's a rendering on
Speaker 3: the left for the hockey games and then rendering on
Speaker 3: the right for concerts. Expected to be completed by twenty thirty.
Speaker 3: That would be the giants first season in it. By
Speaker 3: the way, would be twenty twenty thirty thirty one. I
Speaker 3: guess it would be what the expectations are. It's very
Speaker 3: very interesting. I I I live in Wallet Grove, very
Speaker 3: close to the l e C. The LEC is an
Speaker 3: absolute beehive, like the amount of development in the last
Speaker 3: three years, even.
Speaker 1: The area around around it.
Speaker 3: Not only not only the building itself, because the LEC
Speaker 3: is just doubled. They've got a whole new expansion on
Speaker 3: the LEC building, but the condos, the towers, the townhouses,
Speaker 3: it's out of control.
Speaker 1: Of the LC and the Giants there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this the biggest and Toygo said today they're
Speaker 3: gonna go after the World Juniors. They're gonna go after
Speaker 3: the Memorial Cup.
Speaker 1: He has to those.
Speaker 3: Two things I don't think are feasible currently at the LEC. No, right,
Speaker 3: because of the size of the l EC.
Speaker 4: I'm a fan of the l e C. But I
Speaker 4: also understand this movie. The other thing, it's on the skytrain.
Speaker 3: Route, yep, and look at Surrey is on the verge
Speaker 3: of becoming our most populated city in the province. They're
Speaker 3: they're very, very close. They're just under the city of
Speaker 3: Vancouver at this point. It's gonna it's gonna be overtaken
Speaker 3: in a matter of time. And we know about this
Speaker 3: this skytrained expansion, so people in Langley are gonna be
Speaker 3: able to hop on a train and get right to
Speaker 3: this new new venue. The one thing I'll say this
Speaker 3: is no disrespect They've had their times up and down
Speaker 3: as a franchise. I don't know if you need a
Speaker 3: building that big for the current city of Vancouver. Giants.
Speaker 4: No, but what did he just say and I guess
Speaker 4: he did just say it. But playoff games, Memorial Cup.
Speaker 3: Okay, Memorial Cup is once every what five years. You're
Speaker 3: gonna get in these your renderings. It's it's it's gonna
Speaker 3: be entire complex. By the way, they're gonna have a
Speaker 3: hotel attached to it, maybe a casino. It's it's gonna
Speaker 3: be a massive and look at it's a massive development
Speaker 3: for that part of Surrey which needs it. It's it's
Speaker 3: awesome that they're putting something there. All that stuff. I
Speaker 3: just don't know if it fits ten thousand seats for
Speaker 3: the vancover giants with everything we have in this market. Man,
Speaker 3: you were becoming you're just Donnie. You guys go out
Speaker 3: the games. You tell me the.
Speaker 5: Last time full for anchis the London Nights have the
Speaker 5: same rink and they sell it out every night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, it's his job.
Speaker 5: Ron Toy goes because the last few your years he's
Speaker 5: got to get going and by the time this rink
Speaker 5: starts and if he's at the top of the standings,
Speaker 5: people will come that.
Speaker 1: That doesn't last long though, I.
Speaker 5: Know, because you're rotating the roster and the other thing
Speaker 5: you guys have mentioned is this kicks the BC lines
Speaker 5: out of their practice facility?
Speaker 1: Right? Is that correct? I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know about the foot that's the thing.
Speaker 1: It's about a five acre plot.
Speaker 4: Of lands the Lions have, I believe to practice fields.
Speaker 3: Or it's the one attached the turf one sure.
Speaker 4: And I'm not sure what's owned by them, what's owned
Speaker 4: by this city. I'm not but I think the practice
Speaker 4: fields will be in jeopardy.
Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, I do believe.
Speaker 4: That, and that I think the training facilities fine, but
Speaker 4: they might have to move as well. Keep in mind, Ryan,
Speaker 4: the Lions had a lot of lions. The Giants had
Speaker 4: a lot of success during their first few years, several
Speaker 4: years in the West, likely playing at the call the
Speaker 4: fifteen sixty thousand seep c of the Coliseum.
Speaker 3: Absolutely right, absolutely.
Speaker 4: And they were able to have a Memorial Cup there.
Speaker 4: Everything worked a lot of success on the ice eventually
Speaker 4: that work.
Speaker 1: I know there was a nostalgia.
Speaker 4: Factor there, but here you've got the transit factor, so
Speaker 4: I can I can understand the move. I just I
Speaker 4: think Leec with Ron Toygo, I think it might have
Speaker 4: surprised even him.
Speaker 1: It's been good.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's been really good.
Speaker 1: The atmosphere in there is really good. But they're thinking
Speaker 1: bigger here and don't ten thousand isn't fifteen thousand.
Speaker 4: It's not like the situation with the Lions of white
Speaker 4: Caps and BC place where the place is way too big.
Speaker 1: I think ten makes sense.
Speaker 3: Again, you're doubling it from what they're in right now?
Speaker 1: Well do you need that?
Speaker 3: And again outside of outside out of a memorial cop
Speaker 3: in the world Junior, because I'm sorry, that's not that
Speaker 3: shouldn't be because that's once every ten years, fifteen years, whatever.
Speaker 3: How are you for your home games? How is that
Speaker 3: gonna look?
Speaker 4: Okay? What about this? What about the possibility they're getting
Speaker 4: a better deal here?
Speaker 9: Well, I'm sure they will, I would hope so, because
Speaker 9: this whole thing they anchored just a bit of a
Speaker 9: pipe dream, right like there was no real reason to
Speaker 9: build it outside of you know, getting some kind of
Speaker 9: ten and they're getting with the giants.
Speaker 3: The other thing, Rick, what do you know about Chiliwac
Speaker 3: and the whl Like, what's going on there?
Speaker 5: It's something's wrong going out there, and though something wrong
Speaker 5: has gone, did they keep delaying it?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: People don't want to pay the fifteen million I don't
Speaker 5: believe for an expansion fee, which Penticton did, right, So
Speaker 5: I think the expansion money is a problem for a
Speaker 5: lot of people out in chili Wac. But the city,
Speaker 5: the city of Suri just built the rink, I believe,
Speaker 5: by the Patello Bridge.
Speaker 1: It did.
Speaker 5: Like what what where is that? I get that, But
Speaker 5: where is Surrey getting all this money from? Like I mean,
Speaker 5: I don't I don't get it. The old taxpayers, I
Speaker 5: get that, Donny, But also the old mayor wanted to
Speaker 5: build the sixty thousands you know stadium there for the McCallum.
Speaker 3: Doug McCallum.
Speaker 5: Doug McCallum, great guy, Doug, I remember Doug back in
Speaker 5: the day. But like, wait, where is Surrey getting up?
Speaker 5: Why are they getting all these big plans for stadiums?
Speaker 4: And Ry just said that there's a growing population, so
Speaker 4: the tax base out of Magine is pretty healthy.
Speaker 1: So are they the Surrey giants?
Speaker 3: Now that's a good question. I don't know if I Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is right now, Yeah.
Speaker 1: That that happens.
Speaker 4: So when you talk about concerts there, like like we're
Speaker 4: talking you know, older acts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would assume you're Abbotsford acts. You're gonna try
Speaker 3: and without hats, you're gonna try and poach them to
Speaker 3: go to Surrey. Now, but you've seen Zeezy talking.
Speaker 4: I don't know why this sicks out played at Abbotsford.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably all the best of them. Hopefully it
Speaker 3: works out. I just don't necessarily see it.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't necessarily think the Giants need anything bigger.
Speaker 3: Again for special events, yes they do, absolutely, but beyond that,
Speaker 3: I don't know. There's a lot of options in the Sparkle.
Speaker 4: They had issues with the l e C. As great
Speaker 4: as it is, not being part on the skytrain line.
Speaker 3: On parking has been an issue at that facility, and
Speaker 3: now if you have other things going on at the
Speaker 3: same time, is it going to become even.
Speaker 1: More to know?
Speaker 5: But good move by Ron toygo here, you watch, You'll
Speaker 5: build a good team there and when it starts up,
Speaker 5: it'll be good.
Speaker 3: It'll go see, I will say. And renderings and renderings, damn,
Speaker 3: they're impressive renderings though that whole thing looks pretty amazing.
Speaker 4: Giants what three players drafted earlierly in the absolutely.
Speaker 3: On the other side, Craig Button, TSN's director of scouting.
Speaker 3: He's going to put a bowl on the draft for
Speaker 3: us and the Canucks draft class. It's Donnie Dully, the
Speaker 3: team on Check.

Speaker 4: two auctions go to Able Auctions dot ca A, b
Speaker 4: L eight Auctions dot c A. We recorded an interview
Speaker 4: with Craig Button TSN Scott he direct here before the show,
Speaker 4: and we started off the conversation with Craig by asking
Speaker 4: him about the Conducks' acquisition of Brendan Gallagher and the
Speaker 4: obvious question, which we do a lot of down here
Speaker 4: or over in this show, what's spreading going to add
Speaker 4: to the bank of for connection?
Speaker 10: You know, I was watching a clip of Tom Brady
Speaker 10: talking about great teammates and teammates that show up and
Speaker 10: are dependable and consistent and competitive. And Brendan isn't the
Speaker 10: same player he once was, but that dependability, consistency, competitiveness
Speaker 10: are something that's ingrained in him. And when you have
Speaker 10: young players and a team that's trying to find its
Speaker 10: way to being competitive and consistent and dependable, the more
Speaker 10: players you have like that. And this is not a
Speaker 10: long term thing with Brendan, but it's something that can
Speaker 10: have long term impact, the long term effects on younger players.
Speaker 10: So you got a player that in Brendan, who's just
Speaker 10: a wonderful person. And then you have those other elements,
Speaker 10: and I think at this stage for the Vancouver Canucks,
Speaker 10: it's just a fantastic addition. And you know, we know
Speaker 10: how happy Brendan is to be in Vancouver and how
Speaker 10: right it is for his family, and I think it's
Speaker 10: right for the Vancouver Canucks.
Speaker 4: So the other move that Canucks made yesterday was Nils
Speaker 4: Hoglander to Nashville twenty nineteen draft pick. Do you believe
Speaker 4: or do you have the belief that he can find
Speaker 4: his game with the Predators?
Speaker 10: Yeah, And I think the key phrase there is is
Speaker 10: find his game and what his game is. I never
Speaker 10: thought that Nils was going to be anything more than
Speaker 10: like a third line catalyst player. But you know, you
Speaker 10: sometimes think that you can score more, and then you're
Speaker 10: asked to score more, and then you do score a
Speaker 10: little bit more, and then you think that that's what
Speaker 10: your game is. And Nils has shown different aspects of
Speaker 10: game that can be valuable, and then we've seen these
Speaker 10: inconsistencies in his game that prevent him from being a contributor.
Speaker 10: So I think the key thing for Nils now is
Speaker 10: to find a sense of this is who I am
Speaker 10: and this is what I'm going to bring every single night.
Speaker 10: Jordan Martinook, who won the Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes,
Speaker 10: is a player that I think when you're younger, you're
Speaker 10: trying to show that you can do a whole lot
Speaker 10: of things. If you can do one, two, three things
Speaker 10: really really well and do them consistently, then you can
Speaker 10: be really valuable. And I think that's what Jordan Martinook
Speaker 10: was able to do for the Carolina Hurricanes. And I
Speaker 10: think if Nils just gets back to being a really good, quick, fast, stating,
Speaker 10: catalyst type player, create turnovers, make life uncomfortable for opponents,
Speaker 10: he can find a place where he can be valued
Speaker 10: and can find.
Speaker 11: That consistency, because it feels to me like Nils has
Speaker 11: always been trying to waiver. He's always waivered.
Speaker 10: And Okay, I'll score, Okay, I don't need to score
Speaker 10: a pay I'll check, Okay, I'll ard check. And he's
Speaker 10: never just said just do this. Here's your lane. Work
Speaker 10: within this lane, work within these parameters. You don't have
Speaker 10: to go outside the lanes.
Speaker 5: Stay right here, Craig, we have not talked to you
Speaker 5: about the draft yet.
Speaker 1: The Canucks draft.
Speaker 5: Your overall views on all their players they took and
Speaker 5: what kind of draft you thought Vancouver had?
Speaker 10: Oh, well, you know it's uh, it's an a plus
Speaker 10: for every team in the NHL.
Speaker 4: Yes, you know.
Speaker 10: The bottom line is is well, no, I say that
Speaker 10: tongue and sheet, okay, because one thing that I have
Speaker 10: no time for is anybody that wants to greater draft
Speaker 10: the day after a draft to say this team did
Speaker 10: well that.
Speaker 11: You don't even know how a team did.
Speaker 10: Every single team has put in tremendous work and effort
Speaker 10: to evaluate players, to watch players not over a week
Speaker 10: or two weeks or months, years and and and they
Speaker 10: discuss it, they debate it. They take in so much
Speaker 10: different information, and they come to the draft and when
Speaker 10: they're when they're faced with their pick or whatever that
Speaker 10: point is, they're trying to get the best player for
Speaker 10: their organization and they believe in those players.
Speaker 11: And that's what you need to do.
Speaker 10: And we're gonna find out in four or five years
Speaker 10: time who those players are that have turned out to
Speaker 10: be the best and who have developed. There's so much growth,
Speaker 10: there's so much what I would call incompleteness in these
Speaker 10: players games, and you've got to be patient with it.
Speaker 10: So I like what the Canucks did. I like what
Speaker 10: they're trying to do with respect to adding different players.
Speaker 10: And you can look through the draft and you can
Speaker 10: look at a big Brooks Rigowski.
Speaker 11: Yeah he's big, but he needs some refinement.
Speaker 10: We can look at Caleb Mahotra, he needs some patience
Speaker 10: to just continue along the path he's on. But every
Speaker 10: single team is drafting players that they believe have potential
Speaker 10: and we're.
Speaker 11: Gonna wait and see.
Speaker 10: So I think it's about being true to what you
Speaker 10: think your organization needs. I think that gets reflected in
Speaker 10: the players you draft and the types of players you have.
Speaker 10: But I think the biggest thing, and I'm like, this
Speaker 10: is really pointed, and anybody who does these stupid draft
Speaker 10: rankings the day after it's disrespectable to the scouts and
Speaker 10: the scouting departments that put in tremendous hours and effort
Speaker 10: the draft players that they think that potential will be good.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Okay, July first tomorrow, things are changing, Craig. Teams
Speaker 5: are signing. The UFA's not letting them get to July first,
Speaker 5: especially centers. But anyways, there's just not a lot of
Speaker 5: big names available. You saw Tuck leave. He would have
Speaker 5: been a big name. What are your thoughts on July first,
Speaker 5: It's it's totally different.
Speaker 11: Well, it is.
Speaker 10: I mean a couple of things have occurred. I think
Speaker 10: that you know, with the certainty of the salary cap,
Speaker 10: I mean a year ago, you knew the next three years.
Speaker 11: You know it was ninety five hundred and four hundred
Speaker 11: and thirteen.
Speaker 10: So you have this certainty with what your parameters are
Speaker 10: with respect to signing players. You know how much it's
Speaker 10: going to go up, so you can account for that
Speaker 10: as you're trying to consider not only signing your young players,
Speaker 10: but signing your potential unrestricted free agents. So I think
Speaker 10: we've seen the landscape with respect to the salary cap,
Speaker 10: you know, dictating a lot of what's happening. Then you
Speaker 10: come to this point now where we're at with these
Speaker 10: free agents. I mean, I think that you get to
Speaker 10: a point where they like I'll just use Jacob Truba
Speaker 10: as an example.
Speaker 11: Jacob trub is thirty two years old.
Speaker 10: Do I think Jacob Truba has three maybe four years
Speaker 10: left in him?
Speaker 11: Yeah? I do.
Speaker 10: I mean at thirty six, he's not going to be
Speaker 10: as good at thirty three, but he's got to fit in.
Speaker 10: But what are you going to do to try to
Speaker 10: get a player what we see continuously happen. It's the term.
Speaker 10: Like I'll use Chris Tanna, who I absolutely love. They
Speaker 10: signed him to a six year contract that you know,
Speaker 10: to keep the AAV down. And now you have a
Speaker 10: player that we know, when he's healthy can play. He's
Speaker 10: thirty six years old. He's just not going to be
Speaker 10: able to play the same way. And now you have
Speaker 10: this player that because of the term and okay, yeah,
Speaker 10: maybe you have long term injury reserve and you put
Speaker 10: him there and he is not able to finish his career.
Speaker 10: Alex Petangelo, that's a different scenario. I think you've got
Speaker 10: to be really prudent and with respect to term, you
Speaker 10: know it's gonna cost you certain amount of dollars, and
Speaker 10: when we know what the salary cap is, you can
Speaker 10: manage through that.
Speaker 11: But I think that you don't want to end up
Speaker 11: with players on your.
Speaker 10: Team that are that can't perform as you go through
Speaker 10: because it just becomes something that becomes an extra area
Speaker 10: that you got to deal with and manage. And I
Speaker 10: think if you manage it ahead of time, you'll be
Speaker 10: far better off than trying to manage it after the fact.
Speaker 10: And again there's players that can come in and help
Speaker 10: you better fit them in in the right area. Like
Speaker 10: Ratco Gudas got signed by Anaheim a couple of years ago.
Speaker 10: It was a three year deal. That's exactly the type
Speaker 10: of deal for that type of I'm not saying Ratto
Speaker 10: right now, but Ratto back then, that was exactly the
Speaker 10: right deal for Ratco. You know, he helps Anaheim moves
Speaker 10: them along, and now at this point in time, Anaheim
Speaker 10: moves them along, says okay, thank you, everything done, you're
Speaker 10: a free agent again. I think it's that type of signing,
Speaker 10: that type of term the teams better be looking at.
Speaker 1: Hey, Craig Don Withdell got a feel for him.
Speaker 5: I mean a few weeks ago, he had no idea
Speaker 5: that Wrensky wants out and Marchenko wants out. And for
Speaker 5: a market like that, to be forced to trade two
Speaker 5: guys like that, wow, Wow.
Speaker 11: It is a wow.
Speaker 10: And it would be too easy for me to sit
Speaker 10: here and say, okay, jeez, Don with well, you know,
Speaker 10: do your job, try to show them you have a
Speaker 10: you have a commitment and they have a chance to
Speaker 10: win there.
Speaker 11: That would be too easy. It feels like low hanging fruit. Rick.
Speaker 10: I think from an organizational point of view, it you
Speaker 10: have to you have to take a really good, long,
Speaker 10: hard look. Okay, what can we do as an organization
Speaker 10: to to not only have players love playing here, but
Speaker 10: to allow them to compete to win? The top players
Speaker 10: all want to compete to win, and we want those players.
Speaker 10: And when you when you find yourself in a spot
Speaker 10: where the players are looking and going teez, I'm not
Speaker 10: so sure I can win here. I'm a competitor. And
Speaker 10: then we say, well, the players are getting too much power.
Speaker 10: We want competitive players, we want players that don't take
Speaker 10: losing lightly. And Dylan Larkin, who grew up in Michigan,
Speaker 10: has played his entire career in Michigan Captain and Detroit
Speaker 10: Red Wings saying I don't want to play in Michigan. No,
Speaker 10: he's saying that I'm a competitor and I'm looking right
Speaker 10: now and I'm not so sure that I see a
Speaker 10: future here where we can win and where we can
Speaker 10: be competitive. And I think that that And so are
Speaker 10: we going to say that Detroit is a bad place,
Speaker 10: or Columbus is a bad place, or it's incumbent upon
Speaker 10: organizations to make not only what they have really a
Speaker 10: pleasing place to play, a place where players are valued,
Speaker 10: but to create an environment where they have a chance
Speaker 10: to win. Nobody went to Florida for twenty years. Now
Speaker 10: everybody wants to go to Florida because they win. So
Speaker 10: it's not about where you are or what you are,
Speaker 10: it's about the environment you create. And I'm talking specifically
Speaker 10: about competitive environment because the good players and that's what
Speaker 10: everybody wants. And competitive players, they want a chance to win.
Speaker 4: Craig back to the draft for one second, and I'm
Speaker 4: a little afraid to ask you this question given what
Speaker 4: you said earlier about projecting into hide of the future
Speaker 4: with the draft, but I will Caleb maholtra We focus
Speaker 4: a lot on what he does well, and you know,
Speaker 4: what is his relationship with his father going to be like?
Speaker 4: But what are the aspects and when we're talking about
Speaker 4: somebody taking third overall people in Vancouver.
Speaker 1: Are very excited about him.
Speaker 4: What are the aspects of the game that he needs
Speaker 4: to improve? What does he need to work on?
Speaker 10: Okay, so the first thing with that DOS is you
Speaker 10: have to be patient with the development process. Everybody has
Speaker 10: a different timeline and we're going to bring this up
Speaker 10: here and you guys know this very well. A couple
Speaker 10: of years back, the Vancouver Canucks drafted Plimovich Vaniela Knovich
Speaker 10: and there was all this, wow, look at what they
Speaker 10: got in the second round. Oh geez, looking, No, when
Speaker 10: you dragged somebody in the second round, you believe in
Speaker 10: his capabilities, what do they do? They put them in
Speaker 10: the American Hockey He didn't fail. He was failed, that's
Speaker 10: my take on it, because he couldn't play in the
Speaker 10: American Hockey League. He wasn't ready to play in the
Speaker 10: American Hockey League. And now you hurt his development because
Speaker 10: now he doesn't he's not able to develop.
Speaker 11: The things that you drafted him for.
Speaker 10: Gaining confidence in his scoring, being an offensive player, letting
Speaker 10: the body mature so that as you become stronger, you know,
Speaker 10: you can become more assertive and that allows.
Speaker 11: You to be better.
Speaker 10: Good luck trying to do that at the American High
Speaker 10: League at eighteen years a good luck. And so to me,
Speaker 10: that is a case of the first thing is everybody
Speaker 10: has a different path. But you start putting players way
Speaker 10: like put them in deep water, way above their head
Speaker 10: where the waves are crashing over their heads and they're
Speaker 10: just trying to come up for air, to just stay alive.
Speaker 10: That's not development. So as it relates to Caleb, Caleb's
Speaker 10: been patient. He went to the BC Hockey League as
Speaker 10: a six year old. He's always going to go to
Speaker 10: the university route. We saw the landscape and the NCAA
Speaker 10: change so we could go over to Brantford. He's now
Speaker 10: going to be you. Here's my suggestion for Caleb maholtrure
Speaker 10: is that you've been patient with your development. You've moved
Speaker 10: along here, You're going to be you for a year.
Speaker 10: Let's wait and see what holds next summer. Let's see
Speaker 10: what you've done in your first year at Boston University.
Speaker 10: If you go to Boston University and you dominate and
Speaker 10: you're one of the best players in college hockey, well
Speaker 10: we can have the discussion about turning pro. But if
Speaker 10: it's still a matter of development and growing, well, then
Speaker 10: a second year at Boston University isn't going to hurt you,
Speaker 10: just like it didn't hurt Cale mccarr or Quinn Hughes.
Speaker 11: They were players that went back for the second year.
Speaker 10: Both those players were I don't want to say encouraged,
Speaker 10: but were pursued to leave college after their freshman seasons.
Speaker 11: They both went back. So what did they do?
Speaker 10: Hoby Baker finalists and then they come into the league
Speaker 10: and they're they're called a Trophy finalists. And that's what
Speaker 10: I mean about being ready. If you're not ready for
Speaker 10: the NHL, it will chew you up and spitch you
Speaker 10: out like nothing. And so for me, I'm gonna add
Speaker 10: this layer for the Vancouver Knuts and Caleb Mahotra. If
Speaker 10: you're not ready to come to the NHL when you
Speaker 10: get pushed there a little bit sooner, well, now the
Speaker 10: questions abound, well why did we do it?
Speaker 8: Take him?
Speaker 11: Is he ready?
Speaker 10: And and and again all that factor about development and
Speaker 10: where a player is at doesn't help the player.
Speaker 11: It hurts the player.
Speaker 10: So to me, I'm watching really closely, and if he
Speaker 10: needs a second year, it be you. I'm gonna say,
Speaker 10: go back to be you and play a second year
Speaker 10: there and come to the NHL.
Speaker 1: Ready.
Speaker 4: Uh, trivia for you, Craig Danilla come as his agent
Speaker 4: Rick Dollywall. Just so you know, Daniel Milstein, he's been
Speaker 4: going on ahead. Meanwhile, Craig, this is this is our
Speaker 4: last time with you for this season of Donnie and Dolly.
Speaker 1: We can't thank you enough. You're an important part of
Speaker 1: our show, very important.
Speaker 11: Well, you're an important part of my Tuesdays.
Speaker 4: So we'll work on the rest of the week for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Craig, thanks for thanks for this. Appreciate it. Thanks
Speaker 1: our thanks to Craig button Tsen, scouting director. For one
Speaker 1: last time during this D and D season, he mentioned
Speaker 1: Jordan Martin. We talked about Brandon Gallagher, former Vancouver Giant,
Speaker 1: Jordan Martino, former Vancouver Giant. Funny moment during the draft
Speaker 1: first round of the draft on Friday, Jordan was supposed
Speaker 1: to announce the Carolina Hurricanes first round draft pick thirty
Speaker 1: first overall. They traded it.
Speaker 4: I believe it was to Nashville and they cut to Jordan.
Speaker 4: You look, you look kind of upset. It was pretty
Speaker 4: it was, but in a funny way. Yeah, pretty humorous. Okay,
Speaker 4: break and up next we'll check out the Wadling Dog
Speaker 4: up poll questions, see how it's doing.
Speaker 1: Donnie Dellay the team.

Speaker 4: early and is your spot for Canadi's match against Morocco
Speaker 4: Saturday morning, game time ten am. Catch the match live
Speaker 4: on all twenty two TVs with full sound. They don't
Speaker 4: mess around at the Dog. Come sit and stay at
Speaker 4: the Wattling Dog today.
Speaker 5: Rick, All right, here we go the Watling Dog pop pole.
Speaker 5: Question it is, do you agree with Ryan Johnson's decision
Speaker 5: emphasize grit, size and toughness when it comes to building
Speaker 5: that Canucks roster? Eighty six percent say yes, fourteen percent
Speaker 5: say no. Go get some toughness tomorrow on that July
Speaker 5: first free agent market, and some Canadian guys too. Douglas
Speaker 5: has gone Joseph Piers gone Donnie's. That brings the Canadian
Speaker 5: number of Canadians on the Canucks.
Speaker 1: Way down Gallagher. They got them their Gallagher they got
Speaker 1: but they lost.
Speaker 4: Well, it's good that they're interested in New Jersey native
Speaker 4: Connor Clifton.
Speaker 1: Then no, but he's a defenseman. They need veteran d Okay.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, we talked about development camp going on in Atmosford.
Speaker 4: Earlier in the show we had shots of the kids,
Speaker 4: the kids at the development camp with the Canucks on
Speaker 4: their way to doing some rowing, some paddling on the
Speaker 4: Veteran River. Today we got this shot development camp on
Speaker 4: the ice underway. It's a three day camp. He got
Speaker 4: the shot of Alex Edler was helping helping out there.
Speaker 1: Have we seen this shot of him before? Well, miss
Speaker 1: missing a tooth?
Speaker 5: Well, he's retired. How did he get the missing tooth?
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of theories there.
Speaker 4: I'm going to guess this is from his hockey days though,
Speaker 4: Just so.
Speaker 1: You're saying dental work after retirement.
Speaker 4: Well, apparently he didn't get it, or he did he
Speaker 4: he might have one of those, you know, like b xit.
Speaker 3: I think he's got the pop up right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right? Or Bridge is that what you call it.
Speaker 5: Is that, Yeah, I think that we didn't see this
Speaker 5: look when he played, but now he's retired, we see this.
Speaker 1: He looks like a tough guy.
Speaker 4: But on the ice helping out the Canucks kids at
Speaker 4: development camp. And again many Maultra yet or Ryan Johnson
Speaker 4: yet to announce Manny Maltra's coaching staff, but Alex Edler
Speaker 4: helping out on the ice. Meanwhile, speaking of Ryan Johnson,
Speaker 4: we're going to say something.
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say. So is Jen Gardner of
Speaker 3: the Vancouver Gold She's on the right now, is absolutely yep.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, speaking of Ryan Johnson, Connects general manager yesterday made
Speaker 4: it official acquiring Brendan Gallagher from the Montreal Canadians for futures.
Speaker 4: Here is Ryan Johnson from a press conference yesterday, a
Speaker 4: zoom call yesterday with the media. Ryan Johnson on acquiring
Speaker 4: former Vancouver Giant Brendan Gallagher.
Speaker 12: In general, for me, it's enticing any time somebody really
Speaker 12: wants to be in your organization. It's hard not to
Speaker 12: love the idea of it. Then, when you look at
Speaker 12: someone like Brendan with his experience, the passion that he
Speaker 12: plays the game with where we are at as a group,
Speaker 12: like I feel, Brendan feels like he's got a lot
Speaker 12: of hockey left in him and a lot to prove
Speaker 12: off of maybe a little bit of a frustrating year
Speaker 12: for him. I think he's going to come in here
Speaker 12: kicking and screaming, going to be very great. You hear
Speaker 12: me talk a lot about professionalism and quality a teammate.
Speaker 12: I mean, is there anybody that checks the box more
Speaker 12: than this guy? So my discussion with him this morning,
Speaker 12: he is ecstatic. We are over the moon to have him.
Speaker 12: He's talking about just doing anything he can to help
Speaker 12: where we are at and help us grow.
Speaker 8: And I think the.
Speaker 12: Common word he kept unusing was built. And that's what
Speaker 12: we're doing here is trying to build something, an environment
Speaker 12: that is strong and that is sustainable, and he's going
Speaker 12: to be a massive piece of that.
Speaker 4: So on top of getting a real motivated player because
Speaker 4: of what happened last year in Montreal, all the healthy
Speaker 4: scratches in the playoffs and the first time he was
Speaker 4: a healthy scratch going back to the regular season two
Speaker 4: he was a scratch I believe in March and in April,
Speaker 4: first time since he was a rookie motivated player just
Speaker 4: seven goals, one goal the playoffs and just three games
Speaker 4: one where he left this countryt Ricky has said, Brandon
Speaker 4: said he wants to play another year, so extra motivation
Speaker 4: for him.
Speaker 5: Well, he's almost at a thousand games, Donnie, So you
Speaker 5: know that's that's I think he wants to play enough
Speaker 5: to get that thousand game. He's going to be not
Speaker 5: in the high nine hundreds after next year.
Speaker 4: Also, the NBA news Lebron by the way, he switched
Speaker 4: gears here for a second, Lebron announcing he's not going
Speaker 4: to be back with the LA Lakers next season. I'm
Speaker 4: surprised he's not going to want to join the Knicks,
Speaker 4: but apparently on the verge of hooking up with the
Speaker 4: Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 3: So that was one report. We just know he's heading
Speaker 3: to free agency. Yeah, might go back to.
Speaker 1: Cleveland, but the story right, yeah for a third time.
Speaker 3: I mean that's that's a possibility too.
Speaker 4: But there's that story that he's going to For some reason.
Speaker 4: I just not excited about him going to Golden Stack.
Speaker 5: God, how old is he fifty? Like what this guy
Speaker 5: just he keeps going like the energizer buddy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, then the at the very least had a pretty
Speaker 4: good year last year. At the very least, he'll sell
Speaker 4: tickets forty one.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: There's question too, like what happens with this kid?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: He spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on fitness every
Speaker 5: year too. Yeah, that's why he keeps going.
Speaker 3: What's the thing? He soaks himself in red wine?
Speaker 5: The water that heat, shauna all that stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, infrared.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard the red wines.
Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently bathes in red wine.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to try that. Bathes in red wine.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, in the tub, yeah, like you know, one
Speaker 3: of those big tubs, like the cold tubs. Apparently soaks
Speaker 3: himself in red wine.
Speaker 1: What else would he do? Is that not expensive? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Say yes?
Speaker 4: Is it like I think he's got that?
Speaker 1: Would it be cheap wine or expensive wine?
Speaker 3: Does make a difference, that's a good question.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4: If it was me cheap you could go cheap wine.
Speaker 4: I can't tell the difference between tom wine experts. I
Speaker 4: have no palate. Wine is wine like in the movies Sideways?
