Speaker 4: And Rick dolly Wall I had a cherry tree up
Speaker 4: a little Ricky.

Speaker 1: there for hours and a bunch of news.
Speaker 2: Jerry Years Donnie and Dolly broadcasting live from the Paul
Speaker 2: Carson studio at.
Speaker 1: Old Boy Productions. This is Donnie and Dolly the team
Speaker 1: on Check. I am Ryan Henderson alongside Rick Dollywall. Derek
Speaker 1: Wong directing the program, and Quinn Taylor is our producer today.
Speaker 1: How are you couldn't be better? How are you feeling?
Speaker 4: It's a lot better because I don't have to pay
Speaker 4: sixty three bucks to park today?
Speaker 1: Not for today, It's back to eighteen. It'll be back
Speaker 1: again next week, next Wednesday. It'll be the next Calgary.
Speaker 4: I will not be paying sixty three. I'm working on
Speaker 4: how to beat that.
Speaker 1: You were also telling us you've got a very busy
Speaker 1: weekend ahead. You got a weedied, you got to clean
Speaker 1: up your garage. Oh yeah, any power washing in there
Speaker 1: for you, and the kids will watch me do it
Speaker 1: while I do it. I'm looking forward to those days.
Speaker 1: You just wait. It happened soon enough.
Speaker 4: Just wait when you're fifty five and your kids are
Speaker 4: playing video games and you got to clean the outside
Speaker 4: in the inside of the house.
Speaker 1: Okay. It's the day after a massive historic day for
Speaker 1: the Canadian men's soccer team as they pick up their
Speaker 1: first ever World Cup victory yesterday at BC Place. I
Speaker 1: said yesterday I wanted a defiant victory. I wanted them to,
Speaker 1: oh boy, plant their flag. I wanted, you know, I
Speaker 1: didn't want something squeaked out. I want wanted them to
Speaker 1: really show that they were for real. And boy did
Speaker 1: they ever as they beat up on Qatar six nil.
Speaker 1: They were down to nine men. Of course, Qatar was
Speaker 1: after two red cars, one of which on a pretty
Speaker 1: nasty tackle, although I don't think the tackle was really
Speaker 1: that I've seen worse and did awful damage to Ismael Kone.
Speaker 1: He broke his leg. Of course, had surgery yesterday afternoon
Speaker 1: after the match to have it repaired. This is actually
Speaker 1: a photo posted by another formerly injured Canadian soccer player,
Speaker 1: Moist Bombedo, posted as Instagram yesterday that he visited Kony
Speaker 1: in the hospital. I think this was right before the
Speaker 1: surgery last night, after the match concluded. So really really
Speaker 1: awful situation yesterday to have that happen in the match,
Speaker 1: and then both teams getting into it on the sidelines
Speaker 1: as well after that moment at the end of the match.
Speaker 1: Chip Canada's banged up. I mean, you know, the.
Speaker 4: List of injuries now is incredible, the list of injuries,
Speaker 4: especially the last couple of weeks. And Davies didn't play
Speaker 4: last night, which was smart because exactly right, you don't
Speaker 4: need to play him when it's three, oh well it's two,
Speaker 4: nothing at the twenty nine minute mark, yeah, there's.
Speaker 1: No need to play him. He's yeah, save him for Switzerland. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was actually really glad it went the way it
Speaker 1: did because it completely ruled out I mean, obviously, every
Speaker 1: Canadian soccer fan wants to see Alfonso Davies, so from
Speaker 1: that standpoint, it's a bit disappointing for people in attendance
Speaker 1: that they didn't get to see him. But the fact
Speaker 1: that the match was essentially done and dusted, I mean
Speaker 1: very early on, I mean three zero at the break. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's probably not gonna you're not gonna have to
Speaker 1: worry about although you don't have to worry about gold
Speaker 1: differential because of what happened yesterday, and that was that
Speaker 1: Switzerland beat Bosnia four to one. So because of the
Speaker 1: result yesterday, Canada's at the top of the group. If
Speaker 1: Canada gets a single point, so a draw or of
Speaker 1: course a win against against Switzerland next Wednesday, they win
Speaker 1: the group. That round of thirty two match A place
Speaker 1: will include Canada, and of course that's what everybody wants
Speaker 1: is for that to happen. It'll be such a letdown
Speaker 1: if they are moving on, which will be amazing, but
Speaker 1: not playing at BC place. So just incredibly impressive stuff yesterday.
Speaker 1: Jonathan david Rick. You you brought him up, he woke up.
Speaker 4: Last ten months, he hasn't scored a lot and and
Speaker 4: you know in hockey they say go to the net,
Speaker 4: good things happen. Look where his goals were scoring, yep,
Speaker 4: in front of the net. Yeah, front of that. The
Speaker 4: same thing applies in soccer. Yeah, so a hat trick.
Speaker 4: He joins Leo Messi is the only two players with
Speaker 4: hat tricks at this World Cup so far.
Speaker 1: So and look at it. I know people are gonna say, oh,
Speaker 1: it's guitar. Oh what is that? It doesn't matter man
Speaker 1: like you, especially for somebody lacking confidence. At that point,
Speaker 1: he probably didn't care who he was playing, but the
Speaker 1: fact that he saw goals going the net yes, would
Speaker 1: have been such a relief for him, such a relief
Speaker 1: for the entire team. I mean, Jesse Marsh was very
Speaker 1: confident talking about him and saying, you know, buckle up,
Speaker 1: his goals are gonna come.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 1: But I know deep down he was probably going like, man,
Speaker 1: we really need this guy. This has to be our guy.
Speaker 1: And if he's not scoring, we're in a world of trouble.
Speaker 1: And that was answered yesterday.
Speaker 4: So hatch Weather's hockey or soccer goalscorers need confidence. Yes,
Speaker 4: and he got a weak guitar team, took advantage of it,
Speaker 4: scored three goals.
Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely absolutely so. As I mentioned, next Wednesday will
Speaker 1: be the next match for Canada against Switzerland noon at
Speaker 1: BC Place. The round of thirty two matches coming up
Speaker 1: on July the second. That's the winner will include the
Speaker 1: winner Group B, so Canada hopefully is involved in that
Speaker 1: Round of sixteen match coming up on July the seventh.
Speaker 1: The other piece to yesterday's game rick was the scenes
Speaker 1: we witnessed as we left the studio to get out
Speaker 1: of the city. This is some drone footage provided by
Speaker 1: the Vancouver World Cup official Twitter account. They sent this
Speaker 1: out this morning and this shows you the march that
Speaker 1: happened yesterday from Science World to place. It happened about
Speaker 1: what started at about one o'clock when they started to
Speaker 1: make their match or make their march story, and just
Speaker 1: the massive humanity was just so impressive. And I mean
Speaker 1: this again, this is the scene that was happening on
Speaker 1: the way to the match, but it was also echoed
Speaker 1: at the fan fest out at the P and E
Speaker 1: as well. Those grounds were jammed. You see here, this
Speaker 1: is the Amphitheater, this is the Freedom Mobile arch, and
Speaker 1: I should mention just because I've been there, you know,
Speaker 1: this is only what's happening in the Amphitheater. There was
Speaker 1: also a lot of people just in the grounds because
Speaker 1: there was viewing spots all over the place. At the
Speaker 1: p and E right now. So this is just the
Speaker 1: people that were inside the Amphitheater. But I mean, you're
Speaker 1: seeing a great show and we're gonna get to this
Speaker 1: in our poll question in a minute, Rick, But one
Speaker 1: of the big things that I think we didn't really
Speaker 1: factor in when we were talking about what the scene
Speaker 1: was going to be like, I mean, you you said
Speaker 1: there was no buzz in town infamously before you made
Speaker 1: a great point before the show, Rick, And the difference
Speaker 1: in time of year between twenty ten twenty ten. Now,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, we had an amazing Well you
Speaker 1: can't do this in twenty ten for twenty ten, though
Speaker 1: we had amazing weather. We did honestly, it barely rained,
Speaker 1: it was. It was spectacular.
Speaker 4: But you don't get this, you know, you don't get
Speaker 4: sunny days to nine o'clock and the red that yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, red jackets. You know, you don't get this
Speaker 4: in twenty ten in the winter. You get this in
Speaker 4: the summer on a beautiful day like yesterday and everybody's
Speaker 4: wearing red.
Speaker 1: And this was.
Speaker 4: Absolutely phenomenal, showcasing Vancouver as the world class city it is.
Speaker 4: This was phenomenal. Yeah, and it's only gonna get bigger
Speaker 4: for Switzerland and then the game after that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well it's interesting too, I mean because these games
Speaker 1: have been on weekdays, like I mean yesterday, and then
Speaker 1: next Wednesday and then three o'clock. Like I don't like
Speaker 1: the three o'clock.
Speaker 4: It should be seven o'clock, but whatever, Yeah, I don't
Speaker 4: like the three o'clock.
Speaker 1: But they're trying to appease everybody under including the East Coast.
Speaker 1: You gotta remember that as well, right, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: it'll be harder next week, get New We'll be screaming
Speaker 1: out of here to get home to watch probably the
Speaker 1: second half of that match by the time you and
Speaker 1: I make it home. But just really impressive stuff and
Speaker 1: the scenes again on Granville as well, and Rick I
Speaker 1: was blown away by the police presence, the way.
Speaker 4: They I saw yesterday leaving the studio, like the security
Speaker 4: that they have going in this event.
Speaker 1: And again maybe you know, I know, the world's in
Speaker 1: a different place sixteen years later from twenty ten, that's obvious,
Speaker 1: but I've never seen anything like it in this city
Speaker 1: for any event. And to be honest with you, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of hoping the City of Vancouver and the province
Speaker 1: pays attention to this. In the better twenty years, when
Speaker 1: the Canucks get back in the Cup final, maybe have
Speaker 1: something at least closer to this than what you had
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven and their outcome of twenty eleven.
Speaker 4: I hope that they have learned a lot. I saw
Speaker 4: a police on every block in downtown.
Speaker 1: It was yesterday, and I mean the road closures around here.
Speaker 1: You could get nowhere near BC plays driving wise. I
Speaker 1: took the skytrain obviously from here back to my car,
Speaker 1: and the streams of people coming in on the train
Speaker 1: were just incredible. So you mentioned, by the way, the
Speaker 1: red we see there right, because the majority of fans
Speaker 1: in the crowd in the march, all of that wearing red,
Speaker 1: but not the players yesterday, what do you think in
Speaker 1: black jerseys?
Speaker 4: Were starting to be very disappointed that you would have
Speaker 4: fifty three thousand people in red and then your team
Speaker 4: is wearing black uniforms and ugly black uniforms. There is
Speaker 4: nothing in those black uniforms as screams Canadian to me. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Canada and uniforms has always been red. The hockey team
Speaker 4: went to black. I don't know why they do it.
Speaker 4: For money to sell to get more younger people. I
Speaker 4: have no idea, but the Canadian flag is red. The
Speaker 4: Canadian team say, starting in the sixties, seventies and eighties,
Speaker 4: all were red.
Speaker 1: I do not.
Speaker 4: That that black uniform last night was atrocious. It looked
Speaker 4: like somebody had spelt paint on it.
Speaker 1: The white little dribblings snow right.
Speaker 4: Why okay, why would you ask fifty two thousand Canadians
Speaker 4: to wear red and then have your team were black
Speaker 4: in ugly uniforms? And you know what, just look every
Speaker 4: other team I've seen so far in the World Cup.
Speaker 4: Argentina fans wear blue. Argentina soccer team wears blue.
Speaker 6: Nope, Now, well, Netherlands wears orange.
Speaker 1: Ok yeah, okay, so their fans didn't wear orange.
Speaker 6: No, okay, okay, I'll give you that.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. If the fans are wearing orange,
Speaker 4: the Netherlands will wear orange. So Canada has fifty two
Speaker 4: thousand people wear red and then they trot out ugly
Speaker 4: black uniforms. Disgusting.
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, After seeing them in person,
Speaker 1: and I've seen them in person a couple of times,
Speaker 1: I like them better than I thought. But I don't
Speaker 1: disagree with you, Rick. I means you see Brazil, Brazil
Speaker 1: wears yellow. We see that. We see Argentina. Argentina wear
Speaker 1: blue and white. That's it.
Speaker 6: They wear their colors, don't United States with the stuff
Speaker 6: on it the esthetic?
Speaker 4: Okay, so why not tell everybody in Vancouver to wear black?
Speaker 4: Get the word out the fans wear black. Everybody wear
Speaker 4: black because they're Canada is gonna wear black. And so
Speaker 4: what happens Everyone wears red and it.
Speaker 1: Just looked awkward. It looked awkward.
Speaker 6: I'll give you that. But I think the uniform itself
Speaker 6: looks good and bad and like for purchase, and when
Speaker 6: you actually hold on it looks really cool.
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, and we are being we We
Speaker 1: talked about this before the show. FIFA decides the kit,
Speaker 1: not the team. That's not necessarily true. Well, you tell
Speaker 1: FIFA the colors that you're wearing for the match, and
Speaker 1: then I believe you can then choose after that, once
Speaker 1: you've submitted them what you're going to wear. And the
Speaker 1: only thing against Canada.
Speaker 4: Is you're playing against Katar they have it's more burgundy
Speaker 4: than red, but they have that in their uniform. And Switzerland,
Speaker 4: I'm assuming they're gonna wear white because Switzerland is red
Speaker 4: and white as well. Okay, stop, I have information. Countries
Speaker 4: submit the jerseys. Yeah, they are bringing the FIFA for
Speaker 4: the tournament. FIFA then decides who's wearing what. It was
Speaker 4: predetermined we were would wear red in Toronto, black against
Speaker 4: guitar and white against the Swiss. I regardless if it's
Speaker 4: predetermined or not, it just.
Speaker 1: Did not look good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it didn't look What do you think they're gonna
Speaker 6: do against Switzerland?
Speaker 1: Though? The plan is white black, whether or not you
Speaker 1: can change because quinn I thought about that too.
Speaker 6: So it's gonna be red versus white.
Speaker 1: It would be it's gonna be red, yeah versus right. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But but to your point, Quinn I kind of thought
Speaker 4: about that for a minute, and I was like, uh,
Speaker 4: you just won six nil in a match?
Speaker 1: Do you want to change your unit?
Speaker 6: If this is hockey.
Speaker 1: If this was hockey, there'd be no debate at all.
Speaker 1: They're wearing black for the remainder of the tournament.
Speaker 4: This is FIFA. They do it their way. It's totally
Speaker 4: you gotta go through a ton of red tape. I
Speaker 4: get it. It's not like Canada woke up yesterday morning
Speaker 4: he said, let's wear black.
Speaker 6: But I don't get why wouldn't they have worn their
Speaker 6: red one or red or white one yesterday and then
Speaker 6: wear they're black on Wednesday. That makes way more sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I again, I whether why FIFA decides that these
Speaker 1: are the matchups they want. I'm assuming again it's all
Speaker 1: about selling their jerseys selling.
Speaker 4: I look, so why did fifty two thousand people were red?
Speaker 4: Because that's what people are gonna buy. Oh, people are
Speaker 4: gonna buy the red uniform.
Speaker 1: That's okay. Then tell everyone to purchase black ones.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's why they But anyways, the reality is it
Speaker 4: wasn't a good look.
Speaker 1: I will mention, by the way, and you'll talk about
Speaker 1: them more. But our friends at Pastime Sports they've got
Speaker 1: the scarves. If you're looking for merch, and it's hard
Speaker 1: to come by. I've been reading some stuff, some sports
Speaker 1: sporting good places running out of stuff. Pastime Sports online
Speaker 1: in their four locations, they've got scarves, they've got jerseys,
Speaker 1: they got all the World Cup merch you would want.
Speaker 1: And our friends at pastime Ken told me this morning,
Speaker 1: there it is there.
Speaker 4: There's the red one there the top, all right, there's
Speaker 4: the black one in the middle, the bottom right.
Speaker 1: But the red one looks bottom.
Speaker 6: Right's a goalkeeper.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, the red, the blue ones, the goalkeeper uniform.
Speaker 1: But Pastime's got you all covered with the merchandise. Look
Speaker 1: at this.
Speaker 4: Couldn't agree more with Rick. Absolutely atrocious from Canada. Those
Speaker 4: ugly black so dumb azzie goose. There's like twenty other ones.
Speaker 7: There's that.
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, before we go to the break, I want
Speaker 4: to get this in and I think it's important. So
Speaker 4: last night, after the victory, I thought about the nineteen
Speaker 4: eighty six Canadian team, the late great coach Tony Waiders.
Speaker 4: I was so lucky to interview Tony many times, a
Speaker 4: class act. How happy what a Tony Waider's been today?
Speaker 4: He would have been the happiest guy in Canada. He
Speaker 4: did so much for Canadian soccer, for Canada to win
Speaker 4: the first ever World Cup game. Tony Waiders, the great
Speaker 4: Canadian coach, he would have been the happiest guy. Oh absolutely,
Speaker 4: And he did so much, so much. And those guys
Speaker 4: on the eighty sixteen Leonard Doucy, Valentine Dale, Mitchell, Ian Bridge,
Speaker 4: Randy Samuel, Colin Miller, Paul Dolan, those guys paved the
Speaker 4: way for what happened yesterday. I don't want to forget
Speaker 4: about the eighty six team.
Speaker 1: It's a great show. Rick and Doley's coming up with
Speaker 1: us at around eleven fifteen, so that's a good segue
Speaker 1: as well. We'll talk more about the World Cup with
Speaker 1: of course, with Doley at eleven am. One week today.
Speaker 1: You know it's one week today. What the NHL draft,
Speaker 1: that's right in Buffalo, that's right, and we have draft
Speaker 1: prospect maybe the first defenseman gonna have his name announced
Speaker 1: next Friday, Chase Reid from the Sue Greyhounds. Chase is
Speaker 1: joining us at eleven AM. At ten thirty, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be joined by Beck Balenstein, forward for the Buffalo Sabers
Speaker 1: from Delta. Rick. He he's appending UFA if the Canac
Speaker 1: Melnstein is if the Canucks want to be harder to
Speaker 1: play against.
Speaker 4: If he hits July first and the Canucks don't call
Speaker 4: this kid, He's a sixty feet two hundred pounder, two
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty two hits last year, four checks like Craze,
Speaker 4: one of the fastest skaters in the NHL. If the
Speaker 4: Canucks don't go in on Beck Melenstein, I'll be absolutely shocked.
Speaker 4: They want to get bigger, they want to be harder
Speaker 4: to play against. Go get Beck. He's from Delta, good
Speaker 4: Canadian kid.
Speaker 1: Don't say the name, but there's a name people have
Speaker 1: been comparing him to. I'm gonna talk about that coming
Speaker 1: up around ten thirty because it's an interesting comparable people
Speaker 1: are pointing out. But up next he was at He
Speaker 1: had a hot tank rick that I'm gonna ask him about,
Speaker 1: and he was at the match of course, covering the
Speaker 1: World Cup for tsn farhand logy. We'll talk BC lines
Speaker 1: as well, because the lines are in action today against Hamilton.

Speaker 1: I got support.
Speaker 4: People are saying people are supporting me, they're they're supporting you.
Speaker 1: But his FIFA's determination of when what you're gonna wear,
Speaker 1: when you're gonna wear it, So there you go. And
Speaker 1: then I thought they looked sharp yesterday. One guy that
Speaker 1: always looks sharp no matter where he is. What he's
Speaker 1: wearing is farhand logy from ts and he joins us, now, farhand,
Speaker 1: how are you, sir?
Speaker 8: Very good intro, better than Donnie ever could have given.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 8: Wow, that's that's without wow.
Speaker 1: Wow. What did you think of the black jerseys yesterday?
Speaker 9: Wait a minute quick, Quinn, don't go home until Dad, Quinn,
Speaker 9: don't go home until Dad.
Speaker 1: He will. He's texting about that.
Speaker 8: I liked him. I liked him, and like, what's the
Speaker 8: controversy that they should have worn red?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dollywall doesn't like when our Canadian national teams wear black.
Speaker 1: He thinks it should be red and white because that's
Speaker 1: when our flag. What's in our flag?
Speaker 8: Dude, there was a time when, like the men's hockey
Speaker 8: team were blue.
Speaker 9: It was a long time ago they did. Like I
Speaker 9: get that sentiment, but every team now in the world,
Speaker 9: even national teams, have additional jerseys.
Speaker 8: It's not just dark and white. It's not just flag colors.
Speaker 9: They find different ways to accent, different ways to market
Speaker 9: brand and then just look sharp. I would imagine the
Speaker 9: players look, you know, you were black, you look bigger, right,
Speaker 9: you look stronger, you look sicker.
Speaker 8: So maybe that was part of the strategy.
Speaker 9: I don't know, but you know what, it's kind of
Speaker 9: a good contrast when everybody in the building is wearing
Speaker 9: red and they can put out, you know, an accent
Speaker 9: color like black or if it was white, so be it.
Speaker 8: But I didn't mind them.
Speaker 9: I was expecting red, truly, when I saw them in
Speaker 9: warm up on the pitch, I was surprised, but not disappointed.
Speaker 1: And again we're being told next match will be white
Speaker 1: for Canada. So six nil far in Canada over Qatar. Everybody,
Speaker 1: I think, all the soccer people, you know, qutars the
Speaker 1: weak minno of the group should be. Did you see
Speaker 1: six nil coming for Canada though?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 9: I mean I you know, I thought they'd win three,
Speaker 9: maybe four, you know, like I thought if they could
Speaker 9: get to three, you know, especially after Switzerland won by three,
Speaker 9: I thought, Okay, they're gonna need to do some work
Speaker 9: to get to that point, just because that's the nature
Speaker 9: of soccer, right, And you know, you look at Guitar
Speaker 9: and they drew Switzerland earlier in the tournament, right, so
Speaker 9: nobody expected that to happen.
Speaker 8: So when you know, but ultimately, very early in the match,
Speaker 8: they were down to ten men. Then they were down
Speaker 8: to nine men.
Speaker 9: And when you get down to nine and you're not
Speaker 9: offensively gifted to begin with, these things are gonna happen, right,
Speaker 9: So I do think that's part of the context, just
Speaker 9: that Guitar was playing, you know, down quite early.
Speaker 1: Okay. So I see your hit with James Duty yesterday
Speaker 1: pregame in the bar. You were with the Voyagers, you
Speaker 1: were yucking it up, you sidles single biggest sporting event
Speaker 1: in Vancouver history. So you're putting this over twenty ten.
Speaker 8: I am yeah, and I look and understand, like, don't
Speaker 8: don't forget. The word I.
Speaker 9: Used from a was globally global. I know, okay, so
Speaker 9: from a global like I get we're in Canada, and
Speaker 9: I get we all think Canada, we all think hockey matters.
Speaker 9: I got news for you. It doesn't. It doesn't outside
Speaker 9: of Canada, and even in the United States, people are like, oh,
Speaker 9: you believe the Americans. The Americans won the gold medal
Speaker 9: this time, and they forgot about it twenty four hours later.
Speaker 9: They'll bring it up in four years, right, or whenever
Speaker 9: the next international game is. But deep down they don't
Speaker 9: give a damn right, Like, if you ask most American neutrals, right,
Speaker 9: like people that wouldn't consider themselves a fan of hockey
Speaker 9: or soccer, they would probably tell you that a World
Speaker 9: Cup win would.
Speaker 8: Matter a lot more to them than an Olympic gold
Speaker 8: medal win.
Speaker 9: Like there's seven countries that care about soccer, or sorry,
Speaker 9: that care about hockey, and only one of them cares
Speaker 9: about hockey more than soccer. You go to Sweden, Finland,
Speaker 9: any of these other countries that have some you know,
Speaker 9: perspective like that, and you give them the choice between
Speaker 9: an Olympic Hockey gold and a World Cup championship. Every
Speaker 9: one of those countries is taking Soccer's World Cup, Sweden, Finland, Russia,
Speaker 9: all of them. So from a global perspective, I think
Speaker 9: it was the single biggest game.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 9: You know, you could make the case that globally, does
Speaker 9: anybody care about Canada playing Kitar?
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, yeah, I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: you think we're in Brazil. You think a lot of
Speaker 1: people were glued to that match yesterday?
Speaker 9: No they weren't, But people talk World Cup, right, So yeah, again,
Speaker 9: when you look at the event from a global perspective,
Speaker 9: and you know, even from a Canadian perspective, like everybody
Speaker 9: would jump on board. Like I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 9: if Canada got to a gold medal soccer game, not
Speaker 9: a guitar soccer game, like, the numbers would rival the
Speaker 9: Olympic gold medal game. And I know our ratings for
Speaker 9: this are off the charts regardless of who they're playing
Speaker 9: right now, So like it's it's a big deal. Is
Speaker 9: hockey Canada's number one sport? It is but soccer is
Speaker 9: the world's number one sport. So from a global perspective,
Speaker 9: I stand by the comment.
Speaker 4: All right, stand by it. Standing by and getting ready
Speaker 4: to play tonight the Lions in Hamilton.
Speaker 1: I saw your booth. That's a good segue. That's not bad.
Speaker 4: A professional broadcaster right there and right there standing by
Speaker 4: in Hamilton. Four receivers hurt, This is unheard of for
Speaker 4: the Lions.
Speaker 1: I don't know how.
Speaker 4: I don't know how they're going to get through to
Speaker 4: and look, there's a good chance they might be in
Speaker 4: Koloonna and two. I mean, I like, I don't know
Speaker 4: how they're gonna win tonight with four receivers hurt.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And I don't know what they're gonna do with
Speaker 9: Keon Hatcher right because he's a game time decision dealing
Speaker 9: with a hamstring injury.
Speaker 8: And you know, if it's me to be perfectly honest.
Speaker 9: I wouldn't play him just because I think even with them,
Speaker 9: they're in trouble, like big time trouble. So I would
Speaker 9: rather them, like just make sure that he's completely healthy
Speaker 9: and get you know, and be ready for those for
Speaker 9: those games in Kelowna.
Speaker 8: So I like, look, I've seen teams go through a
Speaker 8: rash of injuries.
Speaker 9: I have never seen a team lose four receivers in
Speaker 9: a single week and three of them for six games,
Speaker 9: I mean seven McGee might be gone for the year,
Speaker 9: right like, so you know, and who knows what the
Speaker 9: final outcomes are going to be on very Hill and
Speaker 9: KATOI So, yeah, like I'd be concerned. And I truly
Speaker 9: believe talking to Ryan rig Maiden and Buck Pierce and
Speaker 9: iike that there is a belief in every one of
Speaker 9: these other receivers they're fielding, right, Like Nick Snacle had
Speaker 9: a great camp, had a great preseason. They drafted him
Speaker 9: in the fourth round, you know, like Jermaine Jackson and
Speaker 9: Sevin McGee, Like that decision was a close one, right,
Speaker 9: and they couldn't keep all of these guys where they
Speaker 9: sent Jackson nobody didn't play for the team last year,
Speaker 9: and they liked what they saw. I think they liked
Speaker 9: something about every one of these guys is gonna play.
Speaker 9: But to play them all at once together really, right,
Speaker 9: Like you drop in one of those guys at a time,
Speaker 9: and that's one piece of the conversation. But to play
Speaker 9: them all together, like that's scary, and you know when
Speaker 9: you look at Rourke like he's put in a lot
Speaker 9: of time with these guys.
Speaker 8: He brought him in for his own passing camp, right.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 9: You know, then you go to training camp and the
Speaker 9: amount of time you spend building chemistry and an understanding
Speaker 9: of you know, where you want the ball on you,
Speaker 9: where you want to play certain cover coverages, you know
Speaker 9: how you want to handle certain windows. You know, like
Speaker 9: Keon Hatcher knows when Nathan Rourke is going to put
Speaker 9: the ball up and give him a chance to win contested.
Speaker 9: He knows when he's gonna put the ball back shoulder
Speaker 9: like they've practiced, you know, different catch radious points with
Speaker 9: Justin McInnis, right, Like those are the little nuances that
Speaker 9: you get when you play with the guy for a
Speaker 9: long time. And they're gonna have none of that tonight.
Speaker 9: So you know, of the four games I picked this week,
Speaker 9: it might have been the easiest one. And Rick, you
Speaker 9: accused me of being a Winnipeg and Saskatchewan fan. I
Speaker 9: don't know if you've ever accused me of being a
Speaker 9: Taycat fan. Ty Cats will win cover.
Speaker 1: Over all of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, Their The lines are in tough tonight. That's
Speaker 4: the bottom line. We'll see how they do though, But
Speaker 4: any team with Nathan Rourke.
Speaker 9: They're gonna take what we just said and they're gonna
Speaker 9: play a pregame.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Now listen, you know what, it's the Pederson stuff is
Speaker 4: starting again. The rumors, teams are calling Canucks are they
Speaker 4: going to retain or not?
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. We're doing this again.
Speaker 4: We did it the deadline, always will, always will. This
Speaker 4: guy is never going to win in the city unless
Speaker 4: he asked for a trade or they somehow find a
Speaker 4: way to move them.
Speaker 9: I agree. I couldn't agree more. And look, this is
Speaker 9: not a shot at p D. It's it's a lot
Speaker 9: of it is for him. Like to me, it's not
Speaker 9: just you know, the market needs a complete clean slate, right,
Speaker 9: and he represents the core right, and you know, big
Speaker 9: pieces of the core already gone, and I think the
Speaker 9: market is tired of it.
Speaker 8: And it's been two and a half years.
Speaker 9: And like you know, people will think, oh, the media
Speaker 9: hates pd It's nothing. It's not a media thing, Like
Speaker 9: we're not trying to run him out. This is this
Speaker 9: is based on fan reaction and fans sentiment. So from
Speaker 9: my perspective. I've said this before. I think p D
Speaker 9: can be an eighty point center. Again, I don't think
Speaker 9: he'll ever come near a hundred. I think he can
Speaker 9: be an eighty point guy, but I don't think he'll
Speaker 9: be here. So does the organization need a clean slate?
Speaker 1: Yep?
Speaker 8: Does p D need a clean slate?
Speaker 9: He may not think he does, or deep down want one,
Speaker 9: or just want to navigate it to a certain spot,
Speaker 9: but I do think for his own career arc he
Speaker 9: needs the weight to off him.
Speaker 12: Right.
Speaker 9: It took a long time before people started to stop
Speaker 9: talking about Louis Louis Erickson's deal, right like every year
Speaker 9: for probably three maybe four years, and then finally after
Speaker 9: the fifthield, they only had a year left on the
Speaker 9: deal and they got they moved on from him, and
Speaker 9: he didn't have the perception of being you know, this
Speaker 9: sulking character in the locker room and things like that, right,
Speaker 9: like the death stare and all of this stuff. So
Speaker 9: I just think, from from his end as much as
Speaker 9: the organization's end, I think it will be the right thing.
Speaker 9: And truly, like, unless he turns his career around, I
Speaker 9: think the conversation is never going to.
Speaker 8: Stop until he gets traded. It's just the way it
Speaker 8: is at this point.
Speaker 1: So you officially have World Cup fever. We should summarize
Speaker 1: with that. After yesterday I saw you, you had the
Speaker 1: flag around you and everything in the pub, well.
Speaker 8: The fans put it. Actually asked the producer, I said,
Speaker 8: can I wear scarf? And He's like no.
Speaker 9: And then and then right before I went on air,
Speaker 9: one of the fans pulling on me. And then like
Speaker 9: midway through the hit, somebody else putting on.
Speaker 8: Me, and you know, and it worked.
Speaker 9: Look, it's hard not to and I'm I'm not a
Speaker 9: big soccer guy, right, but when you have these types
Speaker 9: of events, it's impossible.
Speaker 8: I like, whether I'm a soccer Gary or not.
Speaker 9: I'm a big Vancouver guy, right, And so the way
Speaker 9: this city presents matters to me.
Speaker 8: And this city is showing out.
Speaker 9: It's not just the Canada Games, it's everything, right, I mean,
Speaker 9: whether it was an England or a Brazil or a
Speaker 9: Mexico watch party at the fan Fest, an Iranian watch
Speaker 9: party at the Stockyards, Australia taking over Granville Street, all
Speaker 9: of it.
Speaker 8: This city is showing out.
Speaker 9: And you know that March and the scenes before the
Speaker 9: game I was concerned. I'm like, hey, did we get
Speaker 9: to this place too early? Because they're not going to
Speaker 9: begin to march until twelve thirty, which is an hour
Speaker 9: after we went on air, and the place was packed.
Speaker 9: We're lining ups out the door and every bar in
Speaker 9: the area was like they were booked. You couldn't get in.
Speaker 9: So it's a cool time to be in this city.
Speaker 9: We had it sixteen years ago and I'm excited to
Speaker 9: be a part of it now.
Speaker 1: We're excited to have you as part of our show,
Speaker 1: and we'll have you back again next week.

Speaker 1: Forward for the Buffalo Savers, pending UFA from the Buffalo Savers,
Speaker 1: Beck Malenstein, Beck, thanks for doing this today. How are you?
Speaker 7: I'm good guys? How you doing?
Speaker 1: Lovely? We know, we're interrupting a workout something we don't
Speaker 1: really know much.
Speaker 7: We we got it, we got it done, so we're
Speaker 7: all good.
Speaker 1: Awesome, awesome, Well I mentioned so second year in Buffalo
Speaker 1: just concluded for you the big thing though there back
Speaker 1: fourteen years no playoffs, they finally get back to it
Speaker 1: this season. Can you describe what that city was like
Speaker 1: over those two rounds?
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, honestly, it's almost indescribable.
Speaker 7: They there was just so much passion, so much energy
Speaker 7: in the city.
Speaker 13: You can tell just how much those people cared about it.
Speaker 7: It was electric.
Speaker 13: I mean every time stepping into the rank around the community,
Speaker 13: everybody was just, you know, so happy to be a
Speaker 13: part of what was going on. And as players, we
Speaker 13: really just tried to soak that in. And yeah, very
Speaker 13: very special, a very special run. Obviously we wished it
Speaker 13: could have went a little bit longer, but all in all,
Speaker 13: we just we just had such a blast and it
Speaker 13: was so fun to see, uh see that city revitalized
Speaker 13: with that kind of energy.
Speaker 1: I know you were on the other side of it, obviously,
Speaker 1: but what was what was it like being in the
Speaker 1: Bell Center during playoff games?
Speaker 7: I mean, it was incredible too.
Speaker 13: I think as a Canadian kid, you know, you stand
Speaker 13: in there and you uh, you know, you hear the
Speaker 13: anthem and things like that.
Speaker 7: It was it was pretty memorable.
Speaker 13: I mean, that's such a historic, historic building, historic team,
Speaker 13: and really just the epitome of what you know, you
Speaker 13: kind of expect Canadian playoff hockey to be like and
Speaker 13: an energy and a rink. So yeah, we were very
Speaker 13: fortunate that, you know, both buildings we got to play
Speaker 13: and found ways to get a lot of energy and
Speaker 13: we get rocking pretty good.
Speaker 1: So I just mentioned it second year in Buffalo, all
Speaker 1: those years of not making the playoffs and then it
Speaker 1: clicked this year they made the GM change. Of course,
Speaker 1: Kevin Adams goes out, what what was the why did
Speaker 1: the switch suddenly flip with you guys this year and
Speaker 1: you were able to break through.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I don't know if there was a you know, a
Speaker 13: definitive moment that really changed it.
Speaker 7: I think, you know, as a group, you go through
Speaker 7: the hard.
Speaker 13: The trying times that we kind of went through the
Speaker 13: previous season and kind of started the season off the
Speaker 13: same way. But there was always an internal belief that
Speaker 13: we were a really good hockey team. We just kind
Speaker 13: of had to figure out those those small last few
Speaker 13: little things, and you know, we went on that three
Speaker 13: game stretch and we kind of just played like we
Speaker 13: had nothing to lose there for a little bit. You know,
Speaker 13: there was the writing on the wall for a lot
Speaker 13: of people. You know, guys were expecting there to be
Speaker 13: some changes. They made that GM change and you know,
Speaker 13: we just started playing a little bit more freely.
Speaker 7: I think was the biggest thing.
Speaker 13: We'd been taught a lot of systems, but this was
Speaker 13: maybe that that chance for us to really just get
Speaker 13: that trust to go see, okay, like you know, we've
Speaker 13: done that, we've done the work, let's just go see
Speaker 13: if we can execute it. And we really just kind
Speaker 13: of found our game that way started to click. We
Speaker 13: gained that confidence. You know, there were points the season
Speaker 13: before where we couldn't hang on to leeds. We started
Speaker 13: to do that consistently, and I think as a group,
Speaker 13: you know, you just started to appreciate how much fun
Speaker 13: it was to win, but how hard it was to win,
Speaker 13: and just didn't want to turn back. So you know,
Speaker 13: we just kind of kept working on that, and you know,
Speaker 13: it was a pretty special back half of the season.
Speaker 7: Once we figured that out.
Speaker 4: Hey, back the business side of hockey. You're gonna be
Speaker 4: looking at it.
Speaker 1: You're a UFA. How are you handling?
Speaker 4: I'm sure Buffalo watch you back. They would be crazy
Speaker 4: not to. We're almost at July first. Talk a little
Speaker 4: bit about being a UFA, going back to Buffalo or
Speaker 4: hitting the market.
Speaker 13: Yeah, obviously it's a brand new experience for me, something
Speaker 13: I haven't been involved with before. So you know, this
Speaker 13: is just really an opportunity for me to trust the
Speaker 13: trust my agents to do their job. And you know,
Speaker 13: we still got some time to figure out working something
Speaker 13: out in Buffalo, so you know that's kind of first
Speaker 13: and foremost of the priority. And yeah, I really enjoyed
Speaker 13: my time there at the city, the people, the organization,
Speaker 13: you know, the direction that the team's going in. It's
Speaker 13: definitely a place that I would love to stay, love
Speaker 13: to keep playing in. So you know, like I said,
Speaker 13: we got a little bit of time to hopefully work
Speaker 13: that out, and then you know, if if not, there's
Speaker 13: it's a it's a brand new opportunity. But you know,
Speaker 13: at this current stage, I'm just focused on trying to
Speaker 13: make it work to stay there.
Speaker 4: Hey, Beck, you hit July first in the hometown Canucks
Speaker 4: call you.
Speaker 1: Have you thought about that seriously though?
Speaker 4: Did you grow up a Canucks fan and what if
Speaker 4: they call on July first?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 13: Absolutely, I think you know, any kid that grew up
Speaker 13: in this area around that time, you know, I was
Speaker 13: probably ten years old when they went on the Cup run,
Speaker 13: or twelve years old, and you know, the whole city
Speaker 13: we're Canucks fans.
Speaker 7: So it's it's something.
Speaker 13: That you know, probably I've never put too much thought
Speaker 13: into being that this is the this is the first time,
Speaker 13: but you know, in a world where where that situation
Speaker 13: comes about, obviously it would be it would be an
Speaker 13: interesting one for me.
Speaker 4: You know, career high two hundred and eighty two hits
Speaker 4: a new Sabers record, You're fast, physical, There's gonna be
Speaker 4: a lot of teams lining up for you back. Talk
Speaker 4: about your style of play and why it's so attractive
Speaker 4: to teams.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think you know, for me, it's it's been
Speaker 13: my uh, it's been my identity, you know, kind of
Speaker 13: right from the get go. It was you know, I
Speaker 13: grew up playing football and hockey, so I was chomping
Speaker 13: at the bit the second I could start hitting on
Speaker 13: the ice too. And yeah, It's something that's always just
Speaker 13: kind of gotten me into games.
Speaker 7: So you know, it's always been a huge part of
Speaker 7: it for me.
Speaker 13: And and that physicality and speed has you know, allowed
Speaker 13: me to kind of be successful at younger levels, and
Speaker 13: then it really kind of allowed me to build that role,
Speaker 13: is that that bottom six power forward. I think, you know,
Speaker 13: when I turned pro, there's a lot of guys who
Speaker 13: you know, are highly skilled that you know, you can
Speaker 13: you fight for those top six spots and things like that,
Speaker 13: and can they change their game to maybe fight.
Speaker 7: For a bottom six role.
Speaker 13: And I was very fortunate to have a lot of
Speaker 13: coaches that you know, really reassure and me that, you know,
Speaker 13: continuing to play this way, building my game that way,
Speaker 13: focusing on things like penalty killing for checking, and then
Speaker 13: you know, continue to polish the offensive side of it
Speaker 13: within that was gonna give me my best opportunity. And
Speaker 13: so you know, throughout my time in Hershey and Washington
Speaker 13: and through into Buffalo, you know, you kind of lay
Speaker 13: your trust in the hands of the coaches that you
Speaker 13: have and the development staff, and yeah, it was it
Speaker 13: was something that's been It's been a long ride, but
Speaker 13: it's been it's been a ton of fun just to
Speaker 13: be able to, you know, continue to play my game,
Speaker 13: a game that I really enjoy.
Speaker 4: Hey, back three BC boys on that Buffalo team, you Zach, Benson,
Speaker 4: Bull and Byrom good representation. Talk about you know, Byron
Speaker 4: and Benson, all three of you good Vancouver BC kids.
Speaker 13: Yeah, no, we we obviously had a ton of fun together.
Speaker 13: You know, we'll we'll bring We'll bring Josh Owenen as
Speaker 13: a as an honorary one.
Speaker 7: He spent some time up a Kamloops in the summertime.
Speaker 13: So yeah, no, we It's always a lot of fun
Speaker 13: to uh, to have guys your team that you know,
Speaker 13: you grew up either with or around. You know, you've
Speaker 13: gone through some similar experiences, played on similar teams. You
Speaker 13: have a lot to connect with, especially when you kind
Speaker 13: of come through those West Coast swings. All the guys
Speaker 13: get a lot of family in and around together. So
Speaker 13: nothing but great things to say about you know, all
Speaker 13: three of those guys here unbelievable hockey players. So I'm
Speaker 13: happy to be looped in with them.
Speaker 1: So what does summer training look like for you back?
Speaker 1: What are you working on and how quickly did you
Speaker 1: get back on the ice. After the end of the
Speaker 1: season for the Sabers.
Speaker 13: I haven't gotten back on the ice yet, probably do
Speaker 13: that here pretty soon. I just kind of got back
Speaker 13: into the gym here the last week or so, you know,
Speaker 13: tried to take two weeks to just kind of be
Speaker 13: a dad for a little bit, you know, spend some
Speaker 13: quality time with my family and with the kids and
Speaker 13: you know, chasing them around his activity enough too much rest,
Speaker 13: but definitely starting to feel that itch to get back
Speaker 13: into it and start to see the guys in the
Speaker 13: gym again. So I train out of here in Delta
Speaker 13: with with Ian Gallagher. So been here since I was
Speaker 13: probably fourteen, been with these guys for a long time,
Speaker 13: and yeah, we haven't signed fun in the gym together.
Speaker 13: The group's been together for a really long time. Obviously
Speaker 13: some changing pieces in and out, but always fun to
Speaker 13: get back in here and get to work.
Speaker 1: I have an almost four year old, and I'm telling
Speaker 1: myself that that is good cardio as well. So if
Speaker 1: you're saying that back then I'm gonna stand with that
Speaker 1: as well. Hey, thanks for doing this day, really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: All the best in free agency and with whatever's ahead
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 7: Awesome guys, I really appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Beck Malenstein joining us from Delta. Man. What
Speaker 1: an impressive dude that guy is. Hamrick six feet.
Speaker 4: Two hundred pounder, four checks, kills penalties, one of the
Speaker 4: fastest skaters in the NHL two hundred and eighty two hits.
Speaker 4: He would replace Sherwood. Yeah, and he would make the
Speaker 4: Knucks tougher to play against. Definitely help on the four
Speaker 4: check if he's available July first. I don't know why
Speaker 4: the Canucks wouldn't call.
Speaker 1: That was the comparable Obo was bringing up earlier in
Speaker 1: the show that some people were pointing out and it
Speaker 1: kind of fits. Yes, he for Surewood in him very similar.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Beck hasn't had the offensive. Maybe
Speaker 1: they'll come in a new environment or as things progress
Speaker 1: for him. But the rest of it, yeah, it's very
Speaker 1: good comparable.
Speaker 4: In my opinion, Connects need to get bigger, harder to
Speaker 4: play against. And the most important thing, good Canadian kid.
Speaker 1: Well and good culture guy. You can tell. You can
Speaker 1: just tell the way he talks and everything. Rick could
Speaker 1: be perfect fit in the luck up absolutely okay, wadling
Speaker 1: dog poll question for the first time in today's show,
Speaker 1: a reminder you can experience one of Victoria's iconic destinations
Speaker 1: and catch every World Cup Canadian match with full sound
Speaker 1: on their twenty two TVs at the Waterling Dog. Come
Speaker 1: sit and stay at the Dog today, Rick, all right, Quentin,
Speaker 1: get her up the Waterling Dog Pop Pop question.
Speaker 4: One event has the better atmosphere in Vancouver The twenty
Speaker 4: ten Olympics or the twenty twenty six World Cup. And
Speaker 4: look at this Olympics leading a sixty two percent and
Speaker 4: thirty seven percent is the World Cup.
Speaker 1: The one interesting thing Derek made the point about before
Speaker 1: the show is and Fine touched on it. We're seeing
Speaker 1: watch parties pretty much daily for all the games. The
Speaker 1: fan festival of course is one spot, but elsewhere as well.
Speaker 1: That is true. But every day during twenty ten you
Speaker 1: had a Canadian for the most part, you had a
Speaker 1: Canadian to cheer for in something. And you don't have
Speaker 1: that with this event because Canada plays every few days
Speaker 1: and you know, you don't have constant daily involvement, and
Speaker 1: so that's where you might get the edge. You as
Speaker 1: had the edge because hockey was involved in twenty hockey
Speaker 1: and that and that's all. That's our games.
Speaker 4: NHL Stars galor in town of Vechkin, Maulk and all
Speaker 4: those guys. The Americans hockey played a big role in that.
Speaker 6: We also see in the Amphitheater, like you know, the
Speaker 6: the Colombian fans, the Mexican fans. There's still stuff going
Speaker 6: on every single big time, big time. Just because it's
Speaker 6: not Canada doesn't mean people aren't coming out.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Quinn, And to be honest with you, again, it's
Speaker 1: something that I keep bringing up that I think I
Speaker 1: took for granted just how many people were going to
Speaker 1: travel here for this event. And look, we have a
Speaker 1: very multi multicultural city is anyway, so there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people just from different backgrounds here. But you can
Speaker 1: tell there's also a lot of people that have traveled.
Speaker 4: Here to support their teams or even just to be
Speaker 4: part of the event that maybe they don't have.
Speaker 1: Their country here stationed in Vancouver. So that's what you're
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of out of the fan festival. It's
Speaker 1: it's different. I think it's closer than what those poll
Speaker 1: results in terms of the atmosphere what those poll results
Speaker 1: are showing, and as the tournament goes on, maybe it
Speaker 1: gets more. It's also again you've had these matches during weekdays,
Speaker 1: which is different, and people have revisioned his history twenty ten,
Speaker 1: the way it ended was absolutely La La Land Canada
Speaker 1: and one of Canada's name hockey players getting the overtime
Speaker 1: winner against their biggest rival. I mean, how do you
Speaker 1: script it better?
Speaker 6: That was also Canada's first game too, well exactly.
Speaker 1: For here here first. Yeah, I mean, look at what's
Speaker 1: the scene going to be like for that round of
Speaker 1: thirty two match. If they're here for the sixteen match,
Speaker 1: what's that going to be like? I mean that's gonna
Speaker 1: be bananas insane. Okay, time to talk about our title
Speaker 1: sponsor able auctions. We've been mentioning them today. By June
Speaker 1: the twenty third, coming up, Abel is going to sell
Speaker 1: the contents of a closed communications contractor thirty trucks in vans,
Speaker 1: including bucket trucks, bucket vans, service fans, and others, plus
Speaker 1: over one hundred commercial grade ladders and you need a

Speaker 1: might this weekend, Yeah, and wire inventory everything from bucket

Speaker 6: No, you know, I do not you have something like
Speaker 6: I gotta get a big l going on this. Didn't
Speaker 6: you take the BC Lions shirt that earlier in the year, Yes,
Speaker 6: I took it.
Speaker 1: I took it. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you're fine.
Speaker 1: Clearly your dad is taking that grudge home with him. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 6: Well we got a football from it, so Broy, he
Speaker 6: did get a football.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Anyways, Uh, this is from James Duffy. Derek, you get
Speaker 6: it up. Jesse Marsh says that there are three top
Speaker 6: surgeons at Vancouver Jenna Hospital Hospital operated on Ismael's Konye's leg.
Speaker 6: Last night. They're watching the game and then from the
Speaker 6: hospital they came straight to the They came straight to
Speaker 6: him to work on him and uh, you know, get
Speaker 6: him through the injuries. That's really cools. The whole city's
Speaker 6: getting together, uniting.
Speaker 1: That is just incredible stuff. That's that's incredible that that
Speaker 1: they that they would do that and head straight to
Speaker 1: the hospital. And it sounded like it's a significant injury.
Speaker 1: I believe he busted tibia amphibia, so he's yeah he
Speaker 1: I mean, the World Cups obviously over for him, but
Speaker 1: this this happening is just incredible. And again, by the way,
Speaker 1: surgeons are saints, not my not my journey. I'm like, like,
Speaker 1: how do you you do that for a living? Cutting
Speaker 1: people open?
Speaker 6: I couldn't even look at the video of them getting
Speaker 6: that's getting hurt, like a stand there for hours operating
Speaker 6: on that.
Speaker 1: You know, you're at home, You're watching chips and beverages
Speaker 1: and whatever, and yeah, you know what, I think, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go cut this guy's leg open, and yeah, I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna go help Canada get this. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's just we're gonna help our country get this guy
Speaker 1: back on the field. If you can't, I just surgeons,
Speaker 1: they gotta be special people. I just couldn't do that smart.
Speaker 6: Yeah, obviously they're special people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're smart.
Speaker 6: Yeah. And then I guess the guy who uh the
Speaker 6: hit him as meme the came into the essing room
Speaker 6: after and apologized to the entire team. So that was
Speaker 6: pretty nice, dude. Jesse March said that as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said that postmatch, and and Jesse marsh he
Speaker 1: said he didn't think the tackle was all that bad
Speaker 1: and he was more surprised by Qatar's reaction to the
Speaker 1: red red card where they were pretty coming over right
Speaker 1: and like I said, right at the as it happened,
Speaker 1: and then at the end of the match they were
Speaker 1: chirping some more.
Speaker 6: I don't quite understand that. I didn't get understand about that. Is,
Speaker 6: did guitar think they're coming back like it was three
Speaker 6: to nothing when that happened. I mean, I make it
Speaker 6: a big deal, but I get it.
Speaker 1: But like, but I also Jesse Jesse marshallso didn't hand
Speaker 1: out the red card. So if you did, if that's
Speaker 1: your beef, then usually you would see them going at
Speaker 1: the reps and I didn't see that happening. They were
Speaker 1: going at the Canadian bench, So I'm not sure so
Speaker 1: sure what was going on there, But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: tough go for Qatar. I mean to lose that bad
Speaker 1: is a pretty big knock, especially after being host in
Speaker 1: the last World Cup as well.
Speaker 6: As the World Cup keeps on expanding and bringing on
Speaker 6: more countries and teams, there's gonna be way more results.
Speaker 1: It happened, and I hate it, Quinn, And it's just
Speaker 1: the way we're going. Look at you see the NCAA.
Speaker 1: They're gonna expand mass badness and college football they're gonna
Speaker 1: do the same thing. Everybody wants more and it's just
Speaker 1: not at all good for the product in any which way.
Speaker 6: No, anyways, I'm gonna pivot back to hockey here. Uh
Speaker 6: this is from Kevin Weeks. Uh, Zak Benson supposed to
Speaker 6: be signing seven times seven in Buffalo. Yeah, that's the speculation.
Speaker 1: This is an interesting It doesn't say it's closed.
Speaker 4: It says that per my sources, I'm told they're working
Speaker 4: away on a seven years time seven aa V. So
Speaker 4: this is the kid on kid from Chilliwack. I'm saying
Speaker 4: this right now though. If they signed this steal, this
Speaker 4: is an unreal steal for Buffalo.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was the best player. I'll playoffrount He's you
Speaker 6: understand why.
Speaker 4: You have to understand why the number is at the
Speaker 4: number because the Buffalo just signed Don to a similar
Speaker 4: deal and they have similar numbers.
Speaker 1: Which is what Weeks points out at the bottom there.
Speaker 1: That's last line. I know it's a little small print,
Speaker 1: but yeah, we always knew it was going to be
Speaker 1: in this range. But I agree with Quinn though. Seven.
Speaker 1: I know, if you're doing an internal cap and you
Speaker 1: want them on line with don't I get all that,
Speaker 1: But seven million for Zach Benson that seems real cheap.
Speaker 4: But look at the term. I mean, you know, you
Speaker 4: get the security of the what do you want? Eight, nine, ten?
Speaker 1: Right? I would have thought I would him. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would have thought he would have been a nine million
Speaker 1: dollar player.
Speaker 6: After that playoff, and he was. I thought he was
Speaker 6: the best forward.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and the skill set he provides, the energy,
Speaker 1: the physicals, got all of it.
Speaker 4: He's got Brad Marshalls.
Speaker 1: That's what it is, Rick, That's what heses people off.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You remember when Charlie McAvoy, yes, the suspension he's gotta
Speaker 4: you know, whacked him on the shoulder with at the
Speaker 4: end of that one game. So he's a great, great
Speaker 4: kid from chiliwac The Canucks didn't draft him, they took
Speaker 4: the lantern letter and then he went to a buffalo
Speaker 4: I think at thirteen.
Speaker 1: But good for him.
Speaker 4: And there's a local kid that's gonna that's gonna be
Speaker 4: set up for life, you know. But it doesn't say
Speaker 4: they're close. It's there work working on it. And I've
Speaker 4: been told, you know, there's work to do for it's done.
Speaker 6: So here this last one you got to get too, Quinn.
Speaker 6: This is very show this so Norway. They're staying in
Speaker 6: North Carolina. I showed them a bit last week. So
Speaker 6: they've brought over six thousand oranges, six hundred pounds of salmon,
Speaker 6: and two hundred and fifty pounds of Norwegian brown cheese
Speaker 6: to keep a consistent quality diet that they grew up with.
Speaker 6: I guess they don't trust the American food and what's
Speaker 6: going on there.
Speaker 1: Which is bizarre. I know. To the credit to this.
Speaker 6: Six thousand oranges, there's like it's like thirty guys.
Speaker 4: Look, I'm an orange guy. I eat three a day, Mandarin.
Speaker 4: They got to be mad for me.
Speaker 6: No, I think these are the big orange orange like.
Speaker 1: When he are. No, they'd be when he plays soccer,
Speaker 1: any sports.
Speaker 6: As a kid and someone brings out slice the oranges,
Speaker 6: this is probably what it's gonna be aime, Yeah, which
Speaker 6: is like an amazing treat.
Speaker 4: When NHL team's going to overtime, double overtime, triple overtime
Speaker 4: and they bring in the fruit, I mean oranges, are
Speaker 4: you know vitamin she They're gonna give you energy.
Speaker 1: So two thousand pounds of food.
Speaker 6: I think to get sick of this, Like they're here
Speaker 6: for like a month, they're gonna have They're all they're
Speaker 6: gonna be eating is cheese, salmon in.
Speaker 1: Or how about if they go to the tournament? Quick?
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do with all the food? That's
Speaker 1: maybe something the media members of North Carolina.
Speaker 4: You expect them to healthy, you expect them to go
Speaker 4: to the final. Okay, the food's great, they get kicked
Speaker 4: out early. What are you gonna do with the food?
Speaker 1: I'm only a little surprised by this because usually we
Speaker 1: hear these types of stories and this is no disrespect.
Speaker 1: But if if if one of these North American teams
Speaker 1: or a big European team goes to a place, or
Speaker 1: for instance, if they're worried like Canada, remember they got
Speaker 1: food poisoning in Mexico, right, or was it the white Caps? No,
Speaker 1: the white Caps. White Caps got When you worry about
Speaker 1: those sorts of things, sometimes you'll hear of this happening,
Speaker 1: which can kind of make sense in North America. A
Speaker 1: team doing this in North America surprising, but.
Speaker 6: I can see them being worried about the players going
Speaker 6: out to get McDonald's or something like.
Speaker 4: I guess, but don't tell me there's no oranges or
Speaker 4: salmon in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Why geez, the state. I don't think.
Speaker 6: I don't think this. I don't think the salmon's like.
Speaker 6: I think it's all farm salmon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe in North Carolina. Maybe not the best. Maybe
Speaker 1: you could ship it over from Seattle or something. But
Speaker 1: it makes a little bit surpressent. You like salmon, Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what.
Speaker 6: I like raw salmon way more than cook salmon. I
Speaker 6: don't really like salmon that much, but really I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't like better this this brown cheese from Ruwegia.
Speaker 1: It's caramel flavored cheese, all right, really caramel made by
Speaker 1: boiling cows and goat's milk. Why wow, Yeah, it's a specialty.
Speaker 4: It's a special The cheese two hundred and fifty pounds
Speaker 4: though caramel. Think about it, yea, but hold it two
Speaker 4: fifty pounds caramel flavored cheese.
Speaker 1: I've never heard that.
Speaker 6: What do you think they're storing?
Speaker 1: It is the hell of a cooler they got going.
Speaker 1: Maybe they brought that with them too, I'm not sure anyway. Okay,

Speaker 1: prospects that's going to have his name called arguably going
Speaker 1: to be the defenseman of that. Here's his name called.
Speaker 1: First is Chase Read from the Sue Greyhounds, and he's
Speaker 1: joining us on the program. Now, Chase, thanks for doing
Speaker 1: this today. How are you?
Speaker 10: I'm good, how are you? Thanks for having me?
Speaker 1: Very good? Yeah, we appreciate it. We appreciate it. So
Speaker 1: one week, as I mentioned, one week away from the draft,
Speaker 1: can you put into words how excited you are, nervous
Speaker 1: you are? What are you feeling one week out from
Speaker 1: the draft.
Speaker 10: Definitely a little bit of all of it.
Speaker 5: I'm excited to get there and be with all the
Speaker 5: prospects and get my name called, and especially congratulate my
Speaker 5: peers there as well.
Speaker 1: So do you have draft plans? How many people are going? Friends? Family?
Speaker 1: What are you doing for the big day? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously my younger brother, my mom and dad
Speaker 5: are coming, and then we got about fifty other people
Speaker 5: coming as well, so there's going to be quite a
Speaker 5: few people there for me.
Speaker 10: So I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Maybe keep your visa tucked away if I was you,
Speaker 1: if you got that, Mane. So talk about this year
Speaker 1: for you, Chase, it's you know, heading into the draft year.
Speaker 1: How hard was it to keep focused on, you know,
Speaker 1: the Sue Greyhounds and what you were doing and progressing
Speaker 1: as a prospect without looking at to this big day
Speaker 1: coming up?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I think obviously having the great coaching staff and teammates
Speaker 5: that I had in the Sue, it made it gave
Speaker 5: me all the more reason to just go out there
Speaker 5: and be able to do my thing each and every night.
Speaker 5: But they give you every capability to be able to
Speaker 5: go out there and just like I said, do your
Speaker 5: thing every night.
Speaker 10: So I owe all my credit to the Greyhounds.
Speaker 1: All right, you do so many wonderful things on the ice.
Speaker 4: That's why NHL scouts are all over You describe your
Speaker 4: game to us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm definitely a two way defenseman that loves having
Speaker 5: the puck on my stick, but loves keeping the puck
Speaker 5: out of the back of my own.
Speaker 10: Net as well.
Speaker 5: I love to carry the play, I love to run
Speaker 5: the power play. I love to score goals.
Speaker 10: As you can see in this clip.
Speaker 5: I just I love having the puck on my stick,
Speaker 5: but I take pride in definitely keeping the puck out
Speaker 5: of the back of my own net as well.
Speaker 4: Lots of good young American defenseman the last few years.
Speaker 4: Who do you model your game around?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Zach Warensky, I feel like we have a lot
Speaker 5: in common. We can both run a power pulay, both
Speaker 5: take control of a game. We both have great skating
Speaker 5: ability to kill plays early in the neutral zone and
Speaker 5: transition fast the other way.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a guy. I definitely want to model my
Speaker 10: game after.
Speaker 1: Hey, you know what, Chase.
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty three, you were released by your USHL team.
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty four, you played Tier two and all of
Speaker 4: a sudden boom that adversity those two years.
Speaker 1: How did you get through that?
Speaker 5: Definitely lean on my family. They were my biggest support
Speaker 5: system each and every day. I called them at least
Speaker 5: two or three times a day.
Speaker 10: Definitely leaning into my faith with God as well.
Speaker 5: I feel like that was a big piece of the
Speaker 5: success I've had today.
Speaker 10: So I alle my credit to my Lord and Savior.
Speaker 4: All right, Chase, let's go to Buffalo the combine. The
Speaker 4: Canucks took you out to dinner. How is dinner with
Speaker 4: the Canucks?
Speaker 10: It was a lot of fun being there.
Speaker 5: They welcomed me in the interview room and it was
Speaker 5: it felt like home in there from the second I
Speaker 5: walked in. They made it super welcoming and it felt
Speaker 5: super super comfortable I could be myself. And then obviously
Speaker 5: going to dinner with them, it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 5: We had some good laughs and definitely a very good meal.
Speaker 1: So did you have a steak? Did you? It was
Speaker 1: a steak?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 4: What was that?
Speaker 1: What's that steak called? Was it? Was it? Wago Wago? Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the one to order, Chase. That's the most
Speaker 4: expensive one. Come on, that's good stuff.
Speaker 10: What do boys got it?
Speaker 6: Chase?
Speaker 10: What did the only one that didn't get?
Speaker 1: Chase?
Speaker 4: What did the Canucks tell you that they like about you?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 5: They I think just my personality, the ability to just
Speaker 5: be myself in my in the game and obviously off
Speaker 5: the ice.
Speaker 10: They really liked that.
Speaker 5: And then obviously my play on the ice and the
Speaker 5: way I control myself off the ice. I feel like
Speaker 5: they all around, they just really liked me as a
Speaker 5: person and a player.
Speaker 1: Chase. There's a lot of discourse right now around American
Speaker 1: players playing in Canada. Maybe they'd rather stay in the
Speaker 1: United States. So how do you feel about if you
Speaker 1: were called by a Canadian team and getting the chance
Speaker 1: to play up here in Canada away from where you're from.
Speaker 5: Obviously, Yeah, I think being in the Sioux definitely helped
Speaker 5: me train for that. Being welcomed in by the Sioux
Speaker 5: fans in the Canadian environment, it definitely helped. And yeah,
Speaker 5: I would have no problem coming to play in a
Speaker 5: Canadian market. I mean, hockey's the biggest thing in Canada,
Speaker 5: so I feel like that'd be that'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 1: And we do have Weago beef in Vancouver. It's expensive,
Speaker 1: but heads up on that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, they were telling me about it.
Speaker 1: I bet they were. I bet they were so. Biggest
Speaker 1: areas you feel you need to work on in terms
Speaker 1: of your game, Chase still.
Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously everything you can always find tune everything in
Speaker 5: your game. But if we're focused on main things, definitely
Speaker 5: still the defensive side. I think there's still a lot
Speaker 5: to clean up back there, making sure I'm not getting
Speaker 5: puck focused when the puck goes up to the point,
Speaker 5: and make sure I'm finding my guy in the D zone,
Speaker 5: making sure I'm still surfing in the neutral zone. And
Speaker 5: just the best defense is offense, So just having the
Speaker 5: puck on your stick more than your defending is always better.
Speaker 4: There were two guys in this draft chase that improved
Speaker 4: incredibly month after month. It was you and Caleb Maholtra.
Speaker 4: What was it about this year that you kept getting better?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I said, the defensive side, I feel like
Speaker 5: I added that element to my game this past season,
Speaker 5: and I feel like the scouts and everyone's finally started
Speaker 5: to see that, which was really cool for me. I
Speaker 5: was told if I didn't have that element to my
Speaker 5: game that I was never gonna have a chance to
Speaker 5: play in the NHL. So I took that to heart
Speaker 5: and I definitely made the conscious effort to clean that up.
Speaker 4: Along the way the journey. Were there any coaches that
Speaker 4: helped you along that? I mean, was there any significant,
Speaker 4: one person that really really helped you get to this
Speaker 4: point where you might be the top defenseman taken in
Speaker 4: the NHL? Draft next week.
Speaker 10: I think there's a couple definitely from a young age.
Speaker 5: Brian Jardine. He was my coach on Honey Baked when
Speaker 5: I was growing up. And then yeah, obviously John Deane
Speaker 5: and the Sioux helped me tremendously each and every day.
Speaker 5: And Brendan Taylor as well, and Danny Nicandrov. They all
Speaker 5: helped me in a significant way each and every whether
Speaker 5: that was touches after practice or little.
Speaker 10: Things in the game.
Speaker 5: I mean, they were all super super good to me.
Speaker 5: And then Garrett Roth and Alec Rahauser when I got
Speaker 5: sent down to Bismarck in the North American League, they
Speaker 5: both obviously giving me the opportunity to go play junior
Speaker 5: and excel and just kind.
Speaker 10: Of go do my thing out there.
Speaker 5: I feel like, yeah, obviously I've had a pretty long path,
Speaker 5: but they've they've all given me all of the opportunities
Speaker 5: to be myself.
Speaker 1: So well, this was excellent. Chase really appreciate making time.
Speaker 1: I know it's a busy time for you one week
Speaker 1: out from the draft. All the best to you and
Speaker 1: your family again next week and if you come to Vancouver,
Speaker 1: will save some wegu be for you. Yep.
Speaker 10: Perfect thank you, Thanks.
Speaker 1: Chase appreciated Chase Reid from the Sue Greyhounds, and it's Rick.
Speaker 1: I will say it's a very interesting draft because if
Speaker 1: you pull up ten pick ten people that cover the draft,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get ten results for the top three. For
Speaker 1: the most part, they're all leaning with McKenna number one.
Speaker 1: But then after that it's like this, you don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on. And it's actually it's pleasant for me
Speaker 1: because I kind of thought it was gonna be more
Speaker 1: of a chalk like, Okay, we're gonna know what's gonna
Speaker 1: happen here. But with San Jose getting into the queue,
Speaker 1: that kind of screws things up because they need a
Speaker 1: defenseman maybe over a forward. All the things. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a very interesting draft next Friday.
Speaker 4: And I also want to say, like two years ago,
Speaker 4: he got cut, Yeah, he got cut, and then he
Speaker 4: went to the Sioux just saw all you kids out.
Speaker 4: Their adversity is a part of life. Yeah, just because
Speaker 4: you get cut doesn't mean that it's over. He got
Speaker 4: cut two years ago, and now he's gonna be the
Speaker 4: top rated defenseman at the NHL Draft all within two years.
Speaker 1: Keep plugging away, well, Rick, even you just touched on it,
Speaker 1: even the adversity this season of you're listed one place
Speaker 1: in October. Yeah, and look where you are a week
Speaker 1: out from the draft. He completely different spot.
Speaker 4: He Whatever team takes that kid is gonna be really
Speaker 4: really happy.
Speaker 1: And I don't know, we talked about this before the show.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about this draft. Every
Speaker 1: kid we've had on has been so impressive. If you
Speaker 1: missed our interview yesterday with Liam and Marcus Rock, take
Speaker 1: some time this weekend check it out on our YouTube.
Speaker 1: Those two, the way they.
Speaker 4: Came across matthis Preston, Bryan Lynn, Right.
Speaker 1: I mean we've talked to the long list of guys.
Speaker 1: We've had Caleb a. Alton, We've had stenburg On, We've
Speaker 1: had a long list of guys going back a few months.
Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, all of them have come across
Speaker 1: just so incredibly well this season or this year on
Speaker 1: our show. So some high quality guys are going to
Speaker 1: be taken in this draft coming up next Friday. Okay.
Speaker 1: On the other side, Paul Dolan's going to join us.

Speaker 1: Going to talk more World Cup in a moment with
Speaker 1: our pal Paul Dolan. All of our guests today are
Speaker 1: brought to you by our friends at Abel Auctions. Canada
Speaker 1: six nil winners over Katar yesterday at BC Place, the
Speaker 1: Canadian men's national team's first game at BC Place after
Speaker 1: the initial game in Toronto. Joined now by member of
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty six team Canada team at the World Cup,
Speaker 1: Apple TV soccer commentator and World Cup correspondent for Donnian Dolly,
Speaker 1: Paul Dolan, Doley, thanks for doing this. How are you, sir,
Speaker 1: oh was he muted? Oh no, never got him. Dolly
Speaker 1: wouldn't ever plugged in, said the one.
Speaker 11: I'm most proud of his World Cup, corresponded Ford.
Speaker 1: I bet yes so Dotley. Everybody, all the smart soccer
Speaker 1: people were saying, Katar, that could be the easy game
Speaker 1: for Canada of the three. Did you see six nil though?
Speaker 1: With nine man? I understand all that, But did you
Speaker 1: see an explosion like that offensively coming for Canada.
Speaker 11: Yeah, there's a couple of different ways of looking at it,
Speaker 11: because Canada had struggled to score goals, and so regardless
Speaker 11: of the opponent, especially a team like Katar that got
Speaker 11: the draw against Switzerland and held them for good periods
Speaker 11: of that game after the penalty kick goal to that
Speaker 11: one one draw. Although Switzerland was wasteful, Canada had been
Speaker 11: as well in the games leading up to this tournament
Speaker 11: and then even in the Bosnia game. So you wondered,
Speaker 11: from a Canadian point of view, could we break down
Speaker 11: what you knew was going to be a resolute defensive
Speaker 11: block of Katari players. But once we got that first goal,
Speaker 11: and by the way, the way that Canada came out
Speaker 11: was much more aggressive than they came out against Bosnia
Speaker 11: much more, I think, aligned to the way that Jesse
Speaker 11: Marsh wants him to play, which is on the front
Speaker 11: foot and aggressive and positive, and he saw overloads down
Speaker 11: the flanks, both on Ali's side and also on Alistair
Speaker 11: Johnson's side. Alistair Johnson had an incredible game alongside Tejan
Speaker 11: Buchanan the twov Ones. They were setting up the little
Speaker 11: chip ball in from Alistair that sets up David for
Speaker 11: the volley, and then the follow up that Kyle Larin,
Speaker 11: as he always does, right on the doorstep, you know,
Speaker 11: comes big at the right moment, And so did Jonathan
Speaker 11: David come big at the right moment, a hat trick
Speaker 11: after lots of talk about, oh, whether we should even
Speaker 11: start this player because he hadn't looked great in previous
Speaker 11: Canadian games. But did I think six? I thought at
Speaker 11: that point, yeah, I thought we need four and I
Speaker 11: thought that that could happen even before the setting off,
Speaker 11: especially at Too Nill, with the way things were flying.
Speaker 11: Things seem to be just clicking so well for Canada
Speaker 11: that I really did think we would score some goals,
Speaker 11: but obviously aided by a second red card as well.
Speaker 11: But I love even at the end of the game
Speaker 11: up six nil and Alistair Johnson is sprinting to the
Speaker 11: corner flag to get another ball into the area. So
Speaker 11: that positivity which was there for ninety minutes, you love
Speaker 11: to see. And I saw Antonio Conte, the former Italian
Speaker 11: player of course, and the Chelsea manager and worldwide international manager,
Speaker 11: was talking about that aggressiveness from Canada and how impressed
Speaker 11: he was with it, and that teams that will play
Speaker 11: Canada now on the knockout stages better be on the
Speaker 11: lookout for how good this team can be.
Speaker 1: Do only you touched on him there? Kyle Laren, he
Speaker 1: gets a goal yesterday they're twenty three to three to
Speaker 1: zero Canada. Is when Kyle Laren scores, how important is
Speaker 1: he to the national team.
Speaker 11: He has scored so many big goals as well. But
Speaker 11: that's a telling stat, isn't it That when he scored,
Speaker 11: you know you're going to win the game. And so
Speaker 11: when he scores early after having scored the very very
Speaker 11: important goals, we look back on it now against Bosnia
Speaker 11: to tie that game with just minutes remaining. As well,
Speaker 11: he comes clutch at the right time. He'll tell you
Speaker 11: that as well as he did after the Bosnia. So
Speaker 11: you want players who are confident like that, who take
Speaker 11: the challenge of having been sat on the bench by
Speaker 11: Jesse Marsh in the first game and then comes on
Speaker 11: as a starter versus the seven scores and then as
Speaker 11: a story yesterday and really plays his part. Those two
Speaker 11: were flying, And you know, kudos to Kyle Laren because
Speaker 11: he could have salked when he wasn't chosen to start.
Speaker 11: He could have you know, moped about, and he took
Speaker 11: the opposite tacked and looked to get involved right away
Speaker 11: and he's been excellent since he got us a chance
Speaker 11: against Bosnia.
Speaker 4: What about Jonathan David, You know, he hasn't scored a
Speaker 4: ten in the last probably ten months, and then he
Speaker 4: breaks wide open with a hat trick that was good
Speaker 4: to see.
Speaker 11: And two things from Jonathan as well the three goals obviously,
Speaker 11: but you knew that he was going to be in
Speaker 11: good form and he was confident. With that initial strike
Speaker 11: off the volley that he hit early, connected really well,
Speaker 11: nice and calm too. He didn't try to just tear
Speaker 11: the leather off it and smash it over. He measured up.
Speaker 11: His volley keeper made a good save on that, and
Speaker 11: then on that first cross from Alister to set up
Speaker 11: the first goal. He hits that volley well too, and
Speaker 11: then the keeper punches it away and Larrence scores the
Speaker 11: first goal. But the goal that he took the first
Speaker 11: one after Tejon cuts inside deflex off a Katari player
Speaker 11: and he smashed that home with such precision but power
Speaker 11: as well. So he was in really good form throat
Speaker 11: the day, some good passes as well, and he was
Speaker 11: in his happy place, which is the eighteen yard box.
Speaker 11: You know, oftentimes he'll come back try to get touches
Speaker 11: on the ball far from the penalty area, but he
Speaker 11: needs to be that guy getting touches inside the box
Speaker 11: and he had that opportunity to do it yesterday and
Speaker 11: score three goals.
Speaker 4: Okay, two part question. Switzerland obviously going to be tough.
Speaker 4: What he got to do to beat them in If
Speaker 4: it was you, when would you get Telfonso Davies in
Speaker 4: the lineup?
Speaker 1: How many minutes? What can we expect from him?
Speaker 11: The one thing that you know, the Guitar Game didn't
Speaker 11: give Canada was the opportunity to play ninety minutes against
Speaker 11: the competitive side with eleven men.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's kind.
Speaker 11: Of obviously this Malcony injury is the big black mark
Speaker 11: on the game, and let's hope that he can recover
Speaker 11: because you know what an integral player he was and
Speaker 11: an important part of this team. I think it's a
Speaker 11: testament to Canada's depth that Nathan Saliva can come in
Speaker 11: and score a goal and be involved right away. And
Speaker 11: you've got David Seat which one year as well, and
Speaker 11: others who I don't want to say we'll fill that
Speaker 11: void because it's a massive void, but you know that's
Speaker 11: obviously a black mark on the game. But the other
Speaker 11: one is that they didn't really get a test for
Speaker 11: ninety minutes in preparation for the game against Switzerland. But
Speaker 11: at the same time, it meant that you know they're
Speaker 11: able to get other players involved in the game. And
Speaker 11: then the question becomes you obviously, Moys Bombido comes in
Speaker 11: for forty five minutes, which was excellent. When does Sponsie
Speaker 11: come out of the field to play, and you didn't
Speaker 11: want him coming in in that game. I don't think
Speaker 11: you didn't need him there. You didn't need another hack
Speaker 11: in the leg that could possibly upset the recovery. So
Speaker 11: I think it'll be a measured response. He won't start
Speaker 11: against Switzerland, there's absolutely no chance of that, but I
Speaker 11: think you could see him late if Canada is desperate
Speaker 11: to win the group, which I think they. I don't
Speaker 11: want them to settle for anything outside of a draw, obviously,
Speaker 11: which would win the group. But I want them to
Speaker 11: push to win this game as well, and I think
Speaker 11: they need to be aggressive. I think if they play
Speaker 11: for a draw, that's the worst thing they could do
Speaker 11: because then you fall into the fact that Switzerland might
Speaker 11: control the game. They have creative and good players that
Speaker 11: can win a match for them. So I hope Canada
Speaker 11: can be on the front foot right from the start
Speaker 11: of the next game as well.
Speaker 1: Only that Cone injury obviously very graphic and hard to watch.
Speaker 1: Have you been in a situation like that at all,
Speaker 1: where you've had a player go down with an injury
Speaker 1: like that and you've had to keep playing And how
Speaker 1: hard is it for those guys to just keep on
Speaker 1: rolling with the match? Because you saw I think it
Speaker 1: was a second hydration break, Jesse Marsh getting them all
Speaker 1: together and kind of saying like, hey, we got to
Speaker 1: keep this going here despite what just happened.
Speaker 11: You know, truth were right. I don't recall a situation
Speaker 11: where I had someone who had such a bad injury
Speaker 11: in the game. But just to talk to the point yesterday,
Speaker 11: being in the stadium on the far side, I didn't
Speaker 11: see the challenge. I don't think many people did. Live
Speaker 11: it was such kind of a freak challenge. But I
Speaker 11: saw Stephani Stachio wildly waving at the bench like someone's
Speaker 11: got to come on, and I knew immediately then it
Speaker 11: was bad. And then I saw, you know, the ankle
Speaker 11: or the leg cony going the way it should not
Speaker 11: be going, and that was a sad moment. You saw
Speaker 11: the reaction from Luke defusral Max cray Poe of course,
Speaker 11: who went through that same type of a situation where
Speaker 11: he broke his leg in the Cup final a few
Speaker 11: years back, and I think the players were really shooken
Speaker 11: by it. It was so good to see him going
Speaker 11: off on the stretcher and waving and upright. I couldn't
Speaker 11: belie that. I don't know if he was in a
Speaker 11: state of shock or what it was, but I think
Speaker 11: that helped the players realize, Okay, yes he's gone and
Speaker 11: gone for the tournament, absolutely, but we can carry on
Speaker 11: here and try to do this for them. For him.
Speaker 11: So I think that was tremendous of them that they
Speaker 11: were able to do that and then Mois bomb Beato
Speaker 11: able to visit him at the hospital. So you know,
Speaker 11: you wish the very best for Ismael Cone. That, as
Speaker 11: I said, was a black mark in the game. But
Speaker 11: you hope that this maybe is something that is a
Speaker 11: galvanizing effect on this Canadian team that will want to
Speaker 11: do something and something special for us Malcone.
Speaker 1: It was a special day yesterday, Paul. I mean the
Speaker 1: scenes around here were just just incredible, incredible stuff. We'll

Speaker 6: which country is this in the World Cup, I would
Speaker 6: immediately see like.
Speaker 4: Somebody spilled paint on it. That's what it looks like.
Speaker 4: You can't see Canada. It doesn't wreako.
Speaker 1: Well, there's other things people are bringing up. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna get it on the jersey. Okay, look, get
Speaker 1: off the jerseys.
Speaker 4: Why don't the Canucks hire one of those surgeons last
Speaker 4: night that went to the hospital to help Demko get
Speaker 4: one hundred percent healthy Glennon to wash it.
Speaker 1: It's not bad glennon if you missed it week from
Speaker 1: James Duty Earlier today, Jesse Marsh saying that three top
Speaker 1: surgeons at Vancouver General Hospital were watching the match last night,
Speaker 1: rushed to Vancouver General Hospital and prefer performed the surgery
Speaker 1: on Ismail Cone and his broken legs. So impressive stuff?
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 6: Does Rick still think that Curtis Douglas is a bigger
Speaker 6: star than the World Cup?
Speaker 4: That's who. That's from tam Beer, the idiot.
Speaker 1: Don't be Quinn, Quinn, Quinn.
Speaker 4: Rule number one on this show, do not readtext from Tambier.
Speaker 1: He's that's a great submission in this show. Curtis Douglas.
Speaker 4: One week before the World Cup, Donnie asked, you know,
Speaker 4: is there a is there a fever pitch? No, there
Speaker 4: wasn't a fever pitch. I had more people DM me
Speaker 4: about Curtis Douglas than the World Cup. Give me a break.
Speaker 4: That was a week before.
Speaker 6: If Curtis Douglas resigned, the amphitheater would be full of Curtis.
Speaker 1: Stop with the Curtis Douglas stuff. Stop.
Speaker 4: I missed a call from Curtis douglas agent this morning
Speaker 4: when I was on with Bruff and rough.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to reconnect with them. Okay, you got one? No, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: I've got one here. This is good one. Braiden in Abbitsford.
Speaker 1: Is it just me? Or do you see what happens
Speaker 1: when Canada doesn't play in Toronto? They don't choke like
Speaker 1: the maple leafs way better, better atmosphere in stadium and
Speaker 1: lots of BC boys. Braidon from Abbitsford talking about the
Speaker 1: difference between Canada's performed yesterday and the one they had
Speaker 1: in Toronto.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, absolutely, but they're also facing a much weaker Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean the I mean they were up three to
Speaker 4: nothing at the half. I mean, I mean it's a
Speaker 4: much weaker team. Okay, look at this, Luke from wass Our,
Speaker 4: good pal Rick, I'm with you all the way. The
Speaker 4: black is awful. There's no black in the Canadian flag.
Speaker 4: It's red and white, and therefore the jersey should be
Speaker 4: red one one white with an outline of the maple
Speaker 4: leaf along.
Speaker 1: The front of the opposite color. That would look sharp.
Speaker 4: Luke and wass from was good guy, good pal of ours,
Speaker 4: good guy, good text.
Speaker 1: This is unsigned? Or did this is second mayple leafs one?
Speaker 1: Or did the Maple Leafs completely overpay for Darren Radish
Speaker 1: this morning. If you missed it, news this morning, Leafs
Speaker 1: sign and trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning, arguably the
Speaker 1: number one UFA. Ricky, you would.
Speaker 4: Say, look, the two things happened here this morning. First
Speaker 4: of all, starting on September fifteen, you can't do eight
Speaker 4: year deals. So what the Toronto Maple Leafs did is
Speaker 4: they got the AVV down by getting the eighth year.
Speaker 4: They were able to do an eighth year starting on
Speaker 4: September fifteenth. Hockey players are not allowed to do eight
Speaker 4: year deals. That got the number down. If this guy
Speaker 4: would have went to July first and you could only
Speaker 4: do seven years, it would have been close to ten million.
Speaker 4: It would have been close to ten million. The Maple
Speaker 4: Leafs actually did something very smart here. They made the trade,
Speaker 4: got the AVV down by giving the eighth year.
Speaker 1: Very smart.
Speaker 6: By that is it smart? He's fight, He's gonna be
Speaker 6: there until he's thirty.
Speaker 4: So Chris tannims there till thirty nine. You know, the
Speaker 4: Columbus is just a different kind of player. Columbus just
Speaker 4: signed a center. Okay, thirty four years old till six
Speaker 4: years till he's forty. I'm sorry, but this is what's happening.
Speaker 1: I know, but it's risky because he's coming off a
Speaker 1: career year and by the way, he made up until
Speaker 1: today Rick two point nine million dollars in his career.
Speaker 1: He's a late bloomer in his career, a late bloomer.
Speaker 4: And he he scored twenty goals or twenty two to
Speaker 4: seventy points.
Speaker 1: He went from one point nine million to eight point
Speaker 1: five and Tampa that leaned on him heavily as well.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, just quickly, last one, very quickly. The World
Speaker 1: Cup has put us This is from Sergeants Spandex. The
Speaker 1: World Cup has put a huge spotlight on just how
Speaker 1: strong the soccer culture is a Vancouver From a white
