Speaker 1: I guarantee.
Speaker 4: So Carolina over Vegas last night five to three. Man,
Speaker 4: that's the Stanley Cup Final. Has been some kind of
Speaker 4: entertaining series now tied at two, and I think part
Speaker 4: of it is because we didn't expect much and it's
Speaker 4: been so good.
Speaker 1: Another comeback last night.
Speaker 4: Now Vegas didn't win, they came back from being down
Speaker 4: two nothing.
Speaker 1: Three to one.
Speaker 4: But you know, years past I might have turned the
Speaker 4: channel whatever the case may be. You would have turned
Speaker 4: to Beverly Hillbillys or the Brady Bunch. But you know
Speaker 4: what is islond. You just knew that they were going
Speaker 4: to come back given what we've seen in the first
Speaker 4: three game. Sure enough they did, but Carolina manages to
Speaker 4: win and even up the series. We'll talk more about
Speaker 4: that Stanley Cup Final as the two hours go on.
Speaker 4: Some really interesting stories of Brandon Bussy and Jordan Stall
Speaker 4: and what's happening Freddy Anderson, So we'll dive into those
Speaker 4: stories a little bit later, along with other stories. But
Speaker 4: Vancouver Canucks, yes, okay, there are things happening with the
Speaker 4: Vancouver Canucks. Nothing official, but we know there are vacancies
Speaker 4: in Abbotsford. Who's going to be the GM, who's going
Speaker 4: to be the head coach, and out of nowhere a
Speaker 4: name is popped up from the from his old Alberta Junior.
Speaker 1: Hockey League days with the Brooks Bandits.
Speaker 4: We're talking about a possibility, a possible Abbotsford head coach here.
Speaker 1: Well, one good young up and coming coach is Ryan Popiano.
Speaker 1: A couple of people told me the Canucks have interest
Speaker 1: in Popiano looking into it. Longtime coach with the Brooks Bandits,
Speaker 1: last year coach Wheeling of the East, Coach Hockey League,
Speaker 1: nine Alberta Junior Hockey League titles, well respected Popiano. Donny
Speaker 1: has got a long track record of developing elite players,
Speaker 1: helping them reach the potential. Cal mccarr Klee McCarry coach
Speaker 1: for two years in Brooks I think in twenty fifteen
Speaker 1: and twenty sixteen, so Cale McCary coach. Not sure what
Speaker 1: role in Vancouver. I just I was in Vancouver and Atavisford.
Speaker 1: I was just told, you know, the Canucks have interest
Speaker 1: there to keep an eye on them, so we'll do that.
Speaker 1: But this is the type of young coach. What has
Speaker 1: he done? I think he's forty two. It's fine. He
Speaker 1: left Brooks to go to Wheeling. Pittsburgh Penguins hired him
Speaker 1: by the way to go to Wheeling.
Speaker 4: But he's there Wheeling their East Coast Hockey League associated team.
Speaker 1: And Ryan Johnson is so good at knowing every single
Speaker 1: body in the American League and the East Coast Hockey
Speaker 1: League because the Canucks have an East Coast Hockey League
Speaker 1: affiliate as well. So to talk to some people this morning,
Speaker 1: they're not surprised. He's on the radar for teams. A
Speaker 1: very good young coach. So we'll keep an eye on that, okay.
Speaker 4: And as far as other coaches go, Uh, the name
Speaker 4: Jim Hiller has popped up former let go by. The
Speaker 4: Kings recently Edmond as their head coach BC boy, And
Speaker 4: is his name being thrown around in.
Speaker 1: Vonton or in Evonton And he's coached chili Wac in
Speaker 1: the in the Western Hockey League. Done remember when they
Speaker 1: came into the Western the Bruins, Yeah, Chilliwack Bruins. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. He was their first ever coach. So you
Speaker 1: know what his name's out there. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: BC connections. We know the Canucks during the GM search
Speaker 1: interviewed a lot of guys with BC connections. I I
Speaker 1: I like that. I remember h the interviewed Jeff Tambalini
Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of other guys with BC connections.
Speaker 1: So we'll see if if Hiller would be on their
Speaker 1: radar for.
Speaker 4: A possible Jeff Tamblin, who was out there as as
Speaker 4: a possible GM as a gym. Yeah, okay, so okay.
Speaker 1: Let's let's get back to the abbots for coaching situation.
Speaker 1: What about Jessica Campbell who recently left the Kracken organization
Speaker 1: down in Seattle. I I still Elliott dropped her name
Speaker 1: about a week ago affiliated with Vancouver. I heard it
Speaker 1: again this morning, still popping around. But is it for
Speaker 1: Vancouver Orrabersburg. I don't know, so we'll monitor that. But
Speaker 1: Jessica Campbell, who was in Seattle uh and then left
Speaker 1: the Kraken Elliott Freeman mentioned her name connected to Vancouver
Speaker 1: a week ago. I'm still hearing that name connected to
Speaker 1: the Canucks. But time will tell. We'll see if that
Speaker 1: goes anywhere.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so some names we haven't heard of being thrown
Speaker 4: around here. But the Ryan Popiano is interesting. You know,
Speaker 4: a friend of a friend of mine who I graduated
Speaker 4: with back in the day. His kid Austin Plevi.
Speaker 1: Langley Clip.
Speaker 4: I remember as played with the Brooks Band, has led
Speaker 4: them and scrolling at least one season, a couple of seasons.
Speaker 4: And remember him playing for Ryan Papaiano, so very well
Speaker 4: respected former goaltender in the Western Hockey League with Lethbridge.
Speaker 4: And I think he played with Seattle as well.
Speaker 1: The name to keep an eye on. We'll do that.
Speaker 4: Okay, Dale Tallon. We talked about him the last couple
Speaker 4: of days. He was a consultant under Jim Ruthiford. We
Speaker 4: didn't see him much. We didn't hear from him much.
Speaker 4: We understand that he's left the Cannucks.
Speaker 1: He is gone, but he was. He's left the Canucks
Speaker 1: organization again.
Speaker 4: Remember he was with him as a player, first ever
Speaker 4: draft pick.
Speaker 1: Look it up, kids, nineteen seventy. You and I remember
Speaker 1: Dale seventies. He was a Jim Rutherford higher. His contract
Speaker 1: was up. He's been a scout and a senior advisor
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty two. He's gone, so he's not going
Speaker 1: to be renewed. One thing I want to say to you,
Speaker 1: don Lots of rumors that Patrick Elvin's gonna end up
Speaker 1: in Seattle. If he does end up in Seattle, and
Speaker 1: I hear it's getting cold as what. So this is
Speaker 1: what I want to tell you. I wonder if he
Speaker 1: gets like a vice president position in Seattle, so that
Speaker 1: that'll be something to monitor for Patrick Elvin. He's got
Speaker 1: the relationship with the Seattle GM there Jason Bottrell, which
Speaker 1: we through Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: They were together, so they're going to go down the
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh rou Papiano has a Pittsburgh connection as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was hired by the Penguins, so we'll keep
Speaker 1: an eye.
Speaker 4: On the entire NHL just hiring people.
Speaker 1: He used to work former Penguins, former Penguins.
Speaker 4: So the Canucks, well he wasn't ever a UFA, but
Speaker 4: he was going down that road lost out on Michael McCarron,
Speaker 4: big tough center. He has extended with the Minnesota Wild
Speaker 4: six year deal, and our understanding is that the Canucks
Speaker 4: were interested in him, like a lot of teams, Oh
Speaker 4: didn't look out a place in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So that leads to the question.
Speaker 4: Where are they gonna and this will be the focus
Speaker 4: of our wedding dog poll question as well, where are
Speaker 4: they going to get some toughness.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Well that's a great question, don And by
Speaker 1: the way, I want to get this in. The Canucks
Speaker 1: were very keen to see what was going to happen
Speaker 1: with Michael mccareyn. He obviously signed, as you said, So
Speaker 1: what did the Canucks do with toughness? Curtis Douglass As
Speaker 1: a UFA, I do believe the Canucks want to add toughness,
Speaker 1: but that role would have to be an everyday player,
Speaker 1: a player who can be in the lineup every single game. Now,
Speaker 1: let's go back to Douglas. His teammates love him, fans
Speaker 1: love him, coaches love him. But he was healthy, scratch.
Speaker 1: There was three games I counted where Adam Foot gave
Speaker 1: him six minutes, I mean, which is ridiculous, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: So that doesn't mean the Canucks aren't going to resign Douglas.
Speaker 1: And as far as the last time I checked, there
Speaker 1: hasn't been any contract talks. But do the Canucks go
Speaker 1: to July first to get toughness? Their high interest in
Speaker 1: McCarran tells me that's an indicator they most likely will.
Speaker 1: There's guys out there like Brandon daheme if he hits
Speaker 1: the market, Canucks had interest in him three years ago,
Speaker 1: so do they go back to that. Well, you don't
Speaker 1: look excited about that. No. I love Brandon to him,
Speaker 1: but he's one of the best team players in Washington.
Speaker 1: If if you go do your research on the guy, Donnie,
Speaker 1: he's one of those glue guys in the dressing room,
Speaker 1: just keeps everyone. You know, he's always doing pranks in
Speaker 1: this and that he's a well they need to yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They need good people in
Speaker 1: the dress so let's see what they do for toughness.
Speaker 1: But I was told that they would prefer to add
Speaker 1: toughness with a guy that's in the lineup every scenele of.
Speaker 4: Course that those the days are over of the exactly
Speaker 4: with all due respect of the goon good movie.
Speaker 1: Absolutely and gold movies. Go look at Carolina in Vegas.
Speaker 1: Their third and fourth lines, Donny, look at their fourth line.
Speaker 1: Guys get nine minutes, ten minutes, thirteen minutes, fourteen minutes.
Speaker 1: They're playing every game. You know, you got to have
Speaker 1: your fourth line playing the third period. You got to
Speaker 1: have your fourth line play in two to one hockey
Speaker 1: games in the third period. You can't just go with
Speaker 1: three and there's some edge there as well. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: like washing Col's out for the Carolina. Hey, they're both
Speaker 1: those fourth lines in Carolina Vegas. Very good.
Speaker 4: Okay, So all of this leads to our Waddling Dog
Speaker 4: poll question. We good, Ryan. By the way, I just
Speaker 4: want to say this that we always discuss things before
Speaker 4: the show, and I talked about our preparation before the show.
Speaker 4: Your takes today off, Ryan, Like, honestly, you're off your
Speaker 4: game completely. So maybe we'll talk about that a little
Speaker 4: bit later. Waddling Dog poll question. The experienced one of
Speaker 4: Victoria's iconic destinations, Catch the World Cup at the Dog.
Speaker 4: We got the graphic here, Catch the World Cup at
Speaker 4: the Now. Ryan's in a snit. Oh, he's mad.
Speaker 1: He's mad with Canada games shown live and loud.
Speaker 4: It starts on Thursday tomorrow, Rick, Oh, Canada games shown
Speaker 4: live and loud and all twenty two TVs with full sound,
Speaker 4: none of that new fangled music playing. Oh no that
Speaker 4: the kids like during the games, full sound. Come sit
Speaker 4: and stay at the Waddling Dog today, Rick, All right.
Speaker 1: Ryan, get her up. The Wadling Dog. Pup poll question.
Speaker 1: The Canucks lost out to Michael mccaron yesterday. How should
Speaker 1: the Canucks fill their toughness void? And good lord, they've
Speaker 1: been so easy to play against the last few years.
Speaker 1: Everybody wants more Canadians, more toughness, more grit and more size.
Speaker 1: Do you extend Curtis Douglas? Look at this eighty three
Speaker 1: percent say extend Curtis Douglas, and then we got thirteen
Speaker 1: percent say sign a UFA and then make a trade.
Speaker 1: Three percent say make a trade to get toughness. But
Speaker 1: it certainly needs to be addressed. Cannucks only have two
Speaker 1: Canadians on the roster. It's embarrassing. It's just absolutely unequivocally embarrassing.
Speaker 1: The team down the highway across the border in Seattle's
Speaker 1: got eleven Canadians. Kelly McCrimmon, good Canadian. GM's got ten
Speaker 1: Western Canadian boys on Vegas, Donnie fourteen overall Canadians. They're
Speaker 1: telling you something right there. Kelly knows how to put
Speaker 1: together a hockey club.
Speaker 4: You just said you thought it would be a good
Speaker 4: idea for them to sign Michael McCarron.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's American toughness, toughness. I was talking about the toughness.
Speaker 1: But otherwise they need more Canadians. He is American. Is American.
Speaker 1: He was drafted by Montreal late in the first Gross
Speaker 1: Pointe Michigan. Yeah, there you go, There you go.
Speaker 4: One of the worst movies. I never liked the Gross
Speaker 4: point blank. Did you just see it?
Speaker 1: No? Yeah, community people love it.
Speaker 4: I didn't love it.
Speaker 1: No, not a hockey movie. Yea. It was in the
Speaker 1: nice long time ago.
Speaker 4: I remember, I didn't like it.
Speaker 1: Everybody loved it. Okay, moving on, how we do it
Speaker 1: for time? Right? How we do it? Three minutes?
Speaker 4: Okay, well again we will we have an open segment,
Speaker 4: a couple of segments from now. We'll dive into the
Speaker 4: Stanley Cup final from last night. Ryan and I disagreed
Speaker 4: on a John Torderella postgame clip. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 4: Mike Babcock the latest on him. The NHL has asked
Speaker 4: prom me. The NHLPA has asked the league, the NHL
Speaker 4: to do a full investigation of Mike Babcock being hired
Speaker 4: with the possibility of him being hired by the orders
Speaker 4: in mind. Now everybody remembers twenty twenty three when he
Speaker 4: was let go by the Columbus Blue Jackets because of
Speaker 4: i'll call it cell phone Gate. He wanted players to
Speaker 4: share their photos with him and maybe share the photos
Speaker 4: with other players. It was a strange, weird request. Some
Speaker 4: players were okay with it, a lot weren't. Complaints were made,
Speaker 4: so there was going to be an investigation by the
Speaker 4: NHL into that situation. It never happened because Mike Babcock
Speaker 4: stepped out. He and the Blue Jackets came to an agreement.
Speaker 4: He left, the organization never coached a game with him.
Speaker 4: So the PA is saying, okay, he's about to be
Speaker 4: It seems like he's about to.
Speaker 1: Be hired by the Edmonton owners.
Speaker 4: We're concerned about our players and their safety.
Speaker 1: They don't want any abuse.
Speaker 4: Going on, metal abuse going on, which Mike Babcock has
Speaker 4: been accused of in the past. So they want the
Speaker 4: NHL to delve into that investigation. Absolutely, and you can
Speaker 4: understand that. And that's happening right now. And it's happening
Speaker 4: right now. We talked about this yesterday.
Speaker 1: It caught everybody off guard, this Mike Babcock thing, but
Speaker 1: that's an organization that's got to win today. And as
Speaker 1: Elliott said, the owner is the guy that he's driving
Speaker 1: the bus there on Babcock, it's the owner. You know,
Speaker 1: people say it's the GM or it's McDavid or dry title.
Speaker 1: It's the owner who's getting tired of the leadership.
Speaker 4: Portedly met with and the met with Babcock did living
Speaker 4: and gave him their stamp of absolutely.
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. So let's see where this goes. Does the
Speaker 1: NHL say it's okay and then the oilers going sign him?
Speaker 4: You would have to think given the situation they're in
Speaker 4: at the stages of their career talking about Connor McDavid
Speaker 4: and Leon Dry title, they don't want another Chris Noblock title.
Speaker 1: It worked, I mean.
Speaker 4: They got to they got to a couple of Stanley
Speaker 4: cap He got to the fire, but it was it
Speaker 4: was somewhat veiled, but there was public criticism of their
Speaker 4: coaching staff versus what they were up against during the
Speaker 4: regular season and the playoffs. So there was that Jay Woodcroft,
Speaker 4: same thing, not not much not much experience there. They
Speaker 4: want to go down the road of a proven winner
Speaker 4: and Mike Babcock say what you want and I you know,
Speaker 4: he hasn't wont to playoff series since twenty thirteen, but
Speaker 4: he has one a lot. His resume includes Stanley Cup's title,
Speaker 4: a couple of Olympic gold medals, so I think you
Speaker 4: can you can understand that, but there is the issue
Speaker 4: of the way he treats people. It's not good and
Speaker 4: and look, it's one thing for but David and dry
Speaker 4: title to be okay with Mike Babcock, but reportedly the
Speaker 4: problem is the way he treats everybody else, way down
Speaker 4: the roster and even even staff.
Speaker 1: Third fourth line guys, you know, defense and even staff
Speaker 1: though defense has been six you know, how do you
Speaker 1: people who aren't players?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: So good stories.
Speaker 4: So it looks like the NHL is going to do
Speaker 4: a full investigation. And my question there is yes, okay,
Speaker 4: I get that, but aren't the oiler is going to
Speaker 4: do the same thing and poke around ask people in Columbus, Hey,
Speaker 4: what what happened here? And in Detroit and wherever he's been? Okay,
Speaker 4: here's what's coming up on the show DTMZ. Is it
Speaker 4: just me coming up in the eleven o'clock hour. Neil
Speaker 4: McAvoy is going to join his director of football Operations
Speaker 4: with the DC Lions. Lions opened their twenty twenty six
Speaker 4: CFL regular season Saturday in Regina against the Saskatchewan rough Riders.
Speaker 4: They had a bye week in Week one. We'll see
Speaker 4: those new Pacific Frost uniforms. On Saturday. John Shannon will
Speaker 4: join us just after eleven o'clock. The TV ratings down
Speaker 4: South for the Stanley Cup Final.
Speaker 1: Have been hegrific, huge, terrific. Didn't see that coming, didn't
Speaker 1: see it coming. I'm sorry, but they've been huge.
Speaker 4: Well, I think you know, first of all, the entertainment
Speaker 4: value has been very good in concert with what's happening
Speaker 4: in the NBA Finals which resume tonight. And you know,
Speaker 4: no matter what anybody says, the Olympic bomb helped.
Speaker 1: Yes, right, I know.
Speaker 4: The NHL hockey has been tremendous, but big bump with
Speaker 4: the USA winning the Olympic gold medal. Big ride. The
Speaker 4: Twitter guy coming up later this hour, and up next

Speaker 5: Can you hear me?
Speaker 4: Oh?

Speaker 1: in the background?
Speaker 5: That's Taylor the play caller, Oh.
Speaker 1: Play caller. Okay, you know.
Speaker 6: Like he always wants to be a coach and stuff,
Speaker 6: and hold on, he looks good in black. You know
Speaker 6: your name came up during training camp, Taylor.
Speaker 4: Oh, well, there was a Don Taylor who used to
Speaker 4: play for the Lions running back. Because of the running back, yeah,
Speaker 4: right back.
Speaker 6: And your name came up in training camp because we
Speaker 6: were talking about that TV Diva moment you had Montreal
Speaker 6: when you didn't want to walk from Schwartze.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5: I'll tell the story.
Speaker 6: So people that don't know, we went to Schwartz's and
Speaker 6: we decided we're going to walk up to the stadium,
Speaker 6: right yeah, And I'd always do the walk because Rent
Speaker 6: Tool would always do the walk, and you know Scotty.
Speaker 5: He'd walk and run everywhere.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 6: So it's about a ten minute walk. We're about three
Speaker 6: minutes in and Taylor just loses it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not.
Speaker 1: Telling the whole story.
Speaker 5: Hold on, Nuds, Yeah, follow it.
Speaker 4: You're not telling the whole story. Someone thought they knew
Speaker 4: where they were going and.
Speaker 7: Got lost in plus forty weather, by the way, and
Speaker 7: we were carrying our luggage. You forgot that part, and
Speaker 7: b Mack and I were going, hey, let's get just
Speaker 7: get a cabern Uber or whatever the case may be,
Speaker 7: and you're like, no, no, I know where it is,
Speaker 7: looking on your phone, going the wrong way.
Speaker 4: You remember that part.
Speaker 6: Forty degrees and you're wearing all black leg Johnny Cash
Speaker 6: for crying out loud, my.
Speaker 4: Luck, it's my luck.
Speaker 5: I do remember you were pratt. The one thing I
Speaker 5: do remember honestly about that triple was so humid.
Speaker 6: When I walked over the press box I saw you
Speaker 6: in McIntyre, it looked like you just walked out of
Speaker 6: a shower with his clothes on.
Speaker 4: Oh it was something else. Back East in the summer
Speaker 4: is not a place you want to be. I love
Speaker 4: going to Montreal, I love going to Toronto, New York.
Speaker 4: But in July, oh.
Speaker 1: My gosh, not here. Awful, awful, humid, yeah, humid, Okay.
Speaker 4: Schwartz's was was good though, and you were ordering around
Speaker 4: the waiters and waitress always it alwaysy extra pickles, always, yeah.
Speaker 1: You know that's true, and you know it's true that
Speaker 1: you got lost extra.
Speaker 4: All right, Hey, is it is it? Is it too
Speaker 4: early with with the Lions in Regina on Saturday?
Speaker 1: In mind?
Speaker 4: Is it is it too early to say this version
Speaker 4: of the Lion could be better? Is better than the
Speaker 4: one that.
Speaker 1: Lost the Western Final in Saskatchwan last year?
Speaker 5: I don't think so.
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, you always want to get you
Speaker 6: always want to improve as a team.
Speaker 5: So do they believe they're better? I think they do.
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously there's gonna be a pretty good test
Speaker 6: in Regina comes Saturday. It's interesting because you know, people
Speaker 6: always talk about it's just another game, it's just one
Speaker 6: of eighteen. Yet at the same time, it's the team
Speaker 6: that beat you last year in the playoffs, a team
Speaker 6: that you believe you were better than and that you
Speaker 6: should have beat. And I think the other thing that
Speaker 6: comes into play too, is like, line's win this game.
Speaker 6: They've got Saskatchewan two more times at home, right, So
Speaker 6: it's a big game when it comes to the tiebreaker.
Speaker 6: But you know it's we'll see. But I'm I'm excited.
Speaker 6: I'm excited to see these guys on the field at
Speaker 6: the same time. We've seen little glimpses during training camp
Speaker 6: of Dathan Lurk of you know, Darnell Sanki of Casey Sales.
Speaker 6: I want to see these guys on the field at
Speaker 6: the same time and let's get this thing going.
Speaker 4: Okay, you mentioned Darnell Sankie sign is a free agent
Speaker 4: from Montreal for the defense. What's he going to add modes?
Speaker 4: A lot of people are excited about him.
Speaker 6: Discipline, accountability, hard knows player, good leader, just talking to
Speaker 6: him at training camp, and of course you know during
Speaker 6: the course of the week, he's just he just has
Speaker 6: it like you can sense it, right, And I think
Speaker 6: this is a type of player that's going to take
Speaker 6: command of the defense and make everybody else around him better.
Speaker 1: All right, moj When you have the best quarterback in
Speaker 1: the CFL, my biggest question always is the old line.
Speaker 1: Are they going to be able to protect him? Who left,
Speaker 1: who came in? What's that old line looking like for
Speaker 1: you heading into game one?
Speaker 6: Well, of course, Jerrell Broxton that left tackles, the big
Speaker 6: hit that they took. Now they've kicked Curley Woodrooff out
Speaker 6: from guard to tackle. Brandon Yeats is going to come
Speaker 6: and play guard. Woodroff lost fifteen to twenty pounds. He's
Speaker 6: had a great camp. A lot of people are high
Speaker 6: on him, and I think another big key to this
Speaker 6: offensive line is Dejahn Allen, who they acquired from Toronto
Speaker 6: last year. He was injured training camp at a back issue.
Speaker 6: They d a triceps issue, and he just couldn't get
Speaker 6: on a roll, couldn't get any momentum. But he's back,
Speaker 6: he's healthy, and if he can regain the form that
Speaker 6: made him the CFL's most outstanding lineman, I believe in
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three or twenty twenty four, they're gonna be
Speaker 6: in pretty good shape.
Speaker 1: I know you're a big fan of Brendan Gallagher. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: so we know that. Oh oh, it's not even questionable.
Speaker 1: But should the Canucks go out of their way to
Speaker 1: get him? He's got one year left six point five
Speaker 1: million on his deal, he's available, Canucks are showing interest.
Speaker 1: His agent was on with us. Should they get Brendan Gallagher.
Speaker 5: I'd go after him.
Speaker 6: Why not? I mean, you need to have good veterans
Speaker 6: around some of these younger players. I know you guys
Speaker 6: had Troy Stetcher on the show yesterday, there's another quality
Speaker 6: human being in my books, Troy from Richmond. But you know,
Speaker 6: you look at those two guys, character guys, quality guys.
Speaker 6: It was kind of crazy to think how old they're
Speaker 6: stretches up to what thirty two?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 6: Yep, yep, this is like what I remember when he
Speaker 6: broke it in the league, right, where's the time guy?
Speaker 6: But you know they're players that when you have those
Speaker 6: type of veterans around to set the standard, to show
Speaker 6: what it's like to you know, show the younger players
Speaker 6: what it means.
Speaker 5: To be a pro both on and off the ice,
Speaker 5: you need those guys. You need good character guys for
Speaker 5: the younger players on this team to learn from.
Speaker 6: And those are two guys that I would have no
Speaker 6: hesitation in bringing in if I was the Vancouver Canucks.
Speaker 1: Are you concerned about you know, rookie president's rookie GM
Speaker 1: rookie coach that this looks like Lyndon, Willie d and
Speaker 1: Benny back in twenty whatever it was, I think twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1: Are you concerned about rookies across the board?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: And no.
Speaker 6: I mean the Sedines have are on the NHL for
Speaker 6: a long time. Manny Malhotra has coaching experience in Abbotsford.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean going to the National High League.
Speaker 6: It's it's a jump for anyone, and it's a jump
Speaker 6: for these individuals in terms of their responsibilities.
Speaker 5: But I just think they're gonna figure it out.
Speaker 1: I really do.
Speaker 6: And you know, if they can bring somebody in with
Speaker 6: a little experience, all the better. But I think this
Speaker 6: group's gonna be okay. Just I have a feeling because
Speaker 6: the biggest thing is they're good people, right, and I
Speaker 6: think they're gonna be able to figure it out. But
Speaker 6: as we said in the past, you could have said
Speaker 6: the same about Trevor Lindon too, right, So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, our base side inbox mode.
Speaker 4: We're getting a lot of complaints about your microphone. It's nice,
Speaker 4: it's time to buck up, go to radio shack or what.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Honestly, am my bad because I've got this Yetti microphone
Speaker 6: and for whatever reason when I hook it up, it's
Speaker 6: it's not performing properly. So my apologies on that. It
Speaker 6: will hopefully be fixed for next week.
Speaker 4: It's not that bad, but I just thought I bring
Speaker 4: it up. Maybe maybe it is time to buck up.
Speaker 4: Talk to Ryan.
Speaker 1: He'll he'll help you. Out. Yeah, he'll finance it for you.
Speaker 4: Hey, World Cup fever, have you caught it?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: Because why I think just.
Speaker 6: The price is kind of really like you know, like
Speaker 6: you know, the prices to get into the building. What
Speaker 6: happened with the BC Sports Hall of Fame. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: and the other thing too. I think with me, if
Speaker 6: if I'm in, I'm all in. If I'm out, I'm
Speaker 6: all out. There's no in between, if you know what
Speaker 6: I'm saying. So if you know, if I do get
Speaker 6: into it, I'll be all in. I'll be watching all
Speaker 6: the games. But right now I'm just you know, focusing
Speaker 6: on what's happening with the Lions and obviously get more
Speaker 6: season don't here on the weekend, So for me, that's
Speaker 6: the main focus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the prices are something else, but you know what entertainment.
Speaker 4: And we talked to Victor mc tongue Yanni recently and
Speaker 4: he just says, you know, like that's the price of
Speaker 4: entertainment these days. But I just you know, they decrease
Speaker 4: tickets to down to seven hundred dollars for one of
Speaker 4: the games here at BC. I mean, I just don't know. Thanks, Thanks,
Speaker 4: you can't go as a family.
Speaker 1: I don't know who can go.
Speaker 4: Maybe you could afford I'm not sure you get a
Speaker 4: buck up for a microphone.
Speaker 1: Okay, I tell you so.
Speaker 4: Hey, Hey, the Big the Big News Moche the Big
Speaker 4: Bang Mode shootout. Oh what's happening?

Speaker 6: Grahamon and that crew.
Speaker 5: They're they're so.
Speaker 6: Great to work with and yeah, so looking forward to it.
Speaker 6: And now hopefully Henderson will come up and volunteer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, as he has, as he has in the past,
Speaker 4: and that's not going to happen for people. Not sure
Speaker 4: about those that are that date. It's in between the
Speaker 4: two Lions games in Kelowna.
Speaker 1: I got that right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, best of luck with that and we'll see maybe,
Speaker 4: like I say, Ryan or check and help you out
Speaker 4: with it with a new microphone.
Speaker 1: You sounded fine to me. Okay, he doesn't sound fine.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's choppy. It sounds check.
Speaker 6: You know, I tested it be fore. It was kind
Speaker 6: of a little choppy. I thought I might be able
Speaker 6: to get away with it, but really I didn't. So anyway,
Speaker 6: you know what, I phone Dollar, Well, they'll send everybody
Speaker 6: he can.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Hey, just get ready to depart for Sascatchwan. Get going
Speaker 1: all right?

Speaker 5: out with your agent buddies.
Speaker 1: No more Vegas, save travels, moch They'll play.
Speaker 5: Let's have a great weekend.
Speaker 4: Lions in Saskatchewan against a rough Rider team that beat
Speaker 4: them in the Western Final. And Neil McAvoy's going to
Speaker 4: join us later on. And I heard him on six
Speaker 4: point fifty it was earlier this week. It was earlier
Speaker 4: this week talking about how it's gonna be a little
Speaker 4: tough watching them unfurl their great Cup banner in Regina,
Speaker 4: but it will also be inspirational for Lions players. That
Speaker 4: is on Saturday, Stanley Cup Final. We want to talk
Speaker 4: about that and other matters hockey in our next segment.
Speaker 4: We also update the poll question the Watling dog Pole question.
Speaker 4: Donnie Dolly the team Jack looking for the ultimate Vancouver
Speaker 4: Island get away head to beautiful Parksville, and experience the
Speaker 4: Bayside ocean Front Resort, where every stay feels like a
Speaker 4: vacation you'll never forget. From sunrise walks on the beach
Speaker 4: to sunsets on the patio, Bayside puts you steps from
Speaker 4: the sand with ocean views in every direction. Splashing the
Speaker 4: indoor and outdoor pools, hit the fitness center, then relax
Speaker 4: with a hand.
Speaker 1: Crafted cocktail at the ocean front restaurant and lounge.
Speaker 4: Whether it's date night, a family trip, or a corporate event,
Speaker 4: Bayside is your perfect year round escape. Book your getaway
Speaker 4: now at two five zero, two four eight eight triple three.
Speaker 1: Your Island adventure starts here.
Speaker 4: Wadling Doog poll question experienced one of Victoria's iconic destinations.
Speaker 4: Catch the World Cup at the Dog with Canada's games
Speaker 4: shown live and loud on all twenty two TVs with
Speaker 4: full sound. Come sit and stay at the Dog today Canucks. Unfortunately, Yeah,
Speaker 4: finding out earlier this week that Michael McCarron extending with
Speaker 4: the Minnesota Wild Big American bottom sixth tough forward, they
Speaker 4: would have loved to have signed him.
Speaker 1: All understand they would have liked to get that didn't happen.
Speaker 4: So that leads to our wadling dog poll question and
Speaker 4: a player who played with the Canucks last season.
Speaker 1: All right, Ryan, get her up the waddling dog pop
Speaker 1: pole question. The Canucks lost out on Michael McCallan yesterday.
Speaker 1: How should they fill their toughness void? Look at this,
Speaker 1: people just love Curtis Douglas eighty four percent leading the way,
Speaker 1: signed a UFA thirteen percent, way at the bottom making
Speaker 1: three three percent. But look, this is a good summer
Speaker 1: on July first for tough guys. Deloier from Philadelphia, Dohaim
Speaker 1: from Washington, A lot of these guys, get hey, Ryan
Speaker 1: reeves he could be available on July first. There's a
Speaker 1: good market for tough guys. So if the Canucks, if
Speaker 1: they want to extend Curtis Douglas, they can do that.
Speaker 1: If they want to go to July first, there's going
Speaker 1: to be good, but it's going to be a little
Speaker 1: bit more expensive. Douglas's contract is not going to be
Speaker 1: hard to do. I don't even know. I can't sit
Speaker 1: here and tell you if it's going to be a
Speaker 1: one way deal. I can't sit here and tell you that.
Speaker 1: But I can tell you that if they go to
Speaker 1: July first, it's going to be a little bit more expensive.
Speaker 1: There won't be two way deals. Even a guy like
Speaker 1: Ryan Reeves is not in a position to handle a
Speaker 1: two way contract. He would still demand a one way deal.
Speaker 1: So some room for your younger players. You're developing players, Yes,
Speaker 1: that's the thought.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, And I mean it's never bad to have
Speaker 4: a toughness. And I told you that when it comes
Speaker 4: to Curtis Douglas and what is he six foot nine?
Speaker 4: You watch him play, there's one obvious weakness in his game.
Speaker 1: That's a skating. He would know, you know, to work
Speaker 1: on his skating. And I've said this before and I'll
Speaker 1: say it again.
Speaker 4: There's people in Vancouver that can help him out. Karen
Speaker 4: Coss and Ryan's favorite skating instructor, Bruno del Maestro Maestro.
Speaker 1: My buddy Derek Popke out in Richmond could help me.
Speaker 4: Curtis, if you're listening, let me know we can. We
Speaker 4: can send you in the right direction.
Speaker 1: But I can tell you that the players and the
Speaker 1: coaches loved Curtis Douglas. They really did. Just a great guy.
Speaker 1: Uh just to really sign because don I told you,
Speaker 1: and he fought the other guy that was six eight.
Speaker 1: What was that fight he had? It was a great fight.
Speaker 1: And when he scored in n Anaheim, did you see
Speaker 1: everyone jump on his back like that's what No, but
Speaker 1: you saw that. That's what you want is when a
Speaker 1: tough well, when a tough guy scores, that tough guy scores.
Speaker 1: And remember when Gino he was his first NHL goal,
Speaker 1: it was his first NHL goal. Remember when Gino would score,
Speaker 1: the bench would erupt. Same thing. People love when tough
Speaker 1: guys score goals. It's a prova.
Speaker 8: The way you kind of revision his history on why
Speaker 8: Rick he was in and out of the lineup after
Speaker 8: stops worst team, Well, no, you would quit. You bring
Speaker 8: up Kelly mccrimmin's roster building with Vegas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fourteen Canadians.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, great, but them the Conducks, Addam Curtis Douglas
Speaker 8: is not a needle mover by any means.
Speaker 4: But Ryan, you do need you need and you need
Speaker 4: you By the way, the conversation we had before the
Speaker 4: show was not in line with what you're taking your
Speaker 4: jack changing.
Speaker 8: You need more toughness than what they have, sure, but
Speaker 8: you need guys that stay in your line up.
Speaker 1: I did that.
Speaker 4: That's obvious, but you might not have a choice if
Speaker 4: you don't know, you know, you know, if you're gonna
Speaker 4: be able to sign Ryan Reeves, it might be Curtis Douglas.
Speaker 4: Hopefully he works on his skating.
Speaker 1: If you do extend him, you work on his skating,
Speaker 1: help him work on.
Speaker 4: His skating in the off season. I think it's a
Speaker 4: it's a I don't think you just dismissed somebody.
Speaker 1: You gotta whack of young kids coming because they got
Speaker 1: thirty plus picks in the next three NHL drafts. You
Speaker 1: got to have somebody to protect those kids.
Speaker 8: Even a Z sure, But if Curtis Douglas can't stay
Speaker 8: in your lineup, okay, how does he protect made?
Speaker 1: Let's get made the point.
Speaker 4: Let's get to the Stanley Cup Final, all right, So
Speaker 4: Carolina over Vegas. We talked about it in the first segment,
Speaker 4: uh five to three of the final, and again I'll
Speaker 4: say it, yet another comeback last night and they didn't win,
Speaker 4: but Theygas was down two nothing in three to one
Speaker 4: at home. You don't turn the channel because the way
Speaker 4: this Stanley Cup Final has gone, you knew that Vegas
Speaker 4: was going to come back, and they did. They tied
Speaker 4: it three to three going into the third and they
Speaker 4: end up giving up a couple of goals in that
Speaker 4: third period and losing five to three. But the entertainment
Speaker 4: value just tremendous. And these stories that are being woven
Speaker 4: in this series. You know, Freddie Anderson doesn't dress, like
Speaker 4: we're not geting dressed. It didn't even didn't dress. He
Speaker 4: saw him take the hit to the head earlier in
Speaker 4: this series. Him not dressing being a scratch had to
Speaker 4: have something to do with that. Although the spot or
Speaker 4: never never had him checked out during that game that
Speaker 4: he was hit. It was a strange situation, but that
Speaker 4: him not dressing last night at all, not even as
Speaker 4: a backup, had to have something to do with that.
Speaker 4: So incomes Brandon Bussy and we saw what he did
Speaker 4: in Game three. He was really good in the third
Speaker 4: period and the overtime. Big left handed American goaltender twenty
Speaker 4: seven year old rookie undrafted, the first undrafted goalie to
Speaker 4: start and win a game in a Stanley Cup final.
Speaker 1: What a story.
Speaker 4: North American Hockey League. He played at Western Michigan. One
Speaker 4: of his teammates was Mak sassin Oh All sorts of
Speaker 4: time in the minors. He was waived by Florida eight
Speaker 4: months ago, and here he is playing hero in a
Speaker 4: Stanley Cup final in Las Vegas, Nevada. We got this
Speaker 4: clip here Ryan parents. Okay, so this is this is
Speaker 4: Brandon Bussy with Kyle Bokoskas are reacting to the shots
Speaker 4: of his parents that Haiking and Canada had, but shots
Speaker 4: of his parents and his agent in the crowd last
Speaker 4: night A special night for Brandon.
Speaker 9: Really need to see both your parents Robin, Lisa and
Speaker 9: fiance Mary here as well. There's some great reactions and
Speaker 9: then as you can imagine, the crowd. So I just
Speaker 9: wanted to see this.
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a.
Speaker 10: That's pretty special. So the other reason why I'm able
Speaker 10: to do what I do right now. Their sacrifice means everything,
Speaker 10: and uh yeah, they're they're the best.
Speaker 4: Is the fact that they're here watching this in person.
Speaker 1: I mean, what does that mean to you?
Speaker 10: I mean, flying East Coast Vegas in one day or
Speaker 10: this morning is a lot. It means a lot. I
Speaker 10: can't believe you guys just did that to me on TV.
Speaker 10: So yeah, it's special though, that'll be a memory I
Speaker 10: have forever. But I'll enjoy this one tonight and then
Speaker 10: tomorrow we move forward to game five.
Speaker 9: It didn't make to make you emotional, But I will
Speaker 9: ask you what more brands you've seen this final? I mean,
Speaker 9: no two goal lead has been safe. Like, how do
Speaker 9: you just manage the emotions here when you're in there?
Speaker 10: Yeah, that that's it, managing your emotions right, not too high,
Speaker 10: not too low.
Speaker 1: They're a good team. We're a good team.
Speaker 10: Stuff can happen randomly, Just trying to stay with it.
Speaker 10: For me at least, if I'm in you know, I'm
Speaker 10: focused on the next shot and our team. It's always
Speaker 10: the next shift, no matter if we're hemming pressure, if
Speaker 10: they have pressure, I'm just looking forward to the next
Speaker 10: out opportunity.
Speaker 4: Boy, he looks so calm in the net. It's one
Speaker 4: thing to be large, it's another thing to look that way.
Speaker 4: He looks like he belongs. And you look at his
Speaker 4: resume and where'd he come from. He's had an exceptional
Speaker 4: season and it picked up last night. Twenty seven year
Speaker 4: old rookie lefty undrafted. Just a great, great story, by
Speaker 4: the way, thirty three goals total through four games.
Speaker 1: We talked about what was.
Speaker 4: Going on through three games, but goals don't always mean entertainment,
Speaker 4: but that certainly is the case so far in this series.
Speaker 4: But thirty three goals total through four games. And we
Speaker 4: talked about this yesterday through three games, but I wanted
Speaker 4: to bring this up through four games because it is
Speaker 4: tied for third all time thirty three goals through four games.
Speaker 4: Have we got that board, guys that we talked about
Speaker 4: before the show, tied for the third highest total in
Speaker 4: Cup Final history with the Flyers versus Islanders in nineteen
Speaker 4: eighty But I wanted to bring this up because check.
Speaker 1: It out the.
Speaker 4: Most make that, yeah, tied with the Flyers Islanders. Okay,
Speaker 4: got the right, but leading the way thirty six goals
Speaker 4: through four games in a Stanley Cup Final North Stars
Speaker 4: versus Islanders in nineteen eighty one. And look a look
Speaker 4: at who the North Stars and Islanders are tied with
Speaker 4: back in nineteen eighteen, the Toronto Arenas and the Vancouver Millionaires.
Speaker 4: Oh Rick thirty six goals through four games. That was
Speaker 4: the best of five that Toronto Arenas won against the
Speaker 4: Vancouver Millionaires, who had won the Stanley Cup in nineteen fifteen. Yes,
Speaker 4: Ryan I was there to cover it. But in that
Speaker 4: nineteen eighteen series Toronto, winning three games to two five
Speaker 4: games cyclone. Taylor scored nine goals in those five games.
Speaker 4: There you go, put that in your pipe.
Speaker 1: I got to call Mkichi to see double check on
Speaker 1: that series. All right, Ryan, we're good. Well wait you
Speaker 1: say that about Donald time today? Yeah?
Speaker 8: I decided, No, I just I decided to Really this time.

Speaker 8: to I don't know if you guys have seen it. Okay,
Speaker 8: the Pirates picture.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get we'll get to talk.
Speaker 4: You know why you don't want to use the Toroderella
Speaker 4: clip because you know that discussion we had before the show.
Speaker 1: You know I'm right about no, wait, not at all.
Speaker 1: I had a lot of bad takes said before the business.
Speaker 4: Uh And and by the way, the Stanley Cup Final
Speaker 4: resumes tomorre NBA finals are resumed tonight. All right, Hopefully
Speaker 4: those New York fans behave themselves. Man, Yeah, I see
Speaker 4: Road Team has won all these things because there's all.
Speaker 8: These hot takes out of that one little video like
Speaker 8: I'm sorry. It's an awful video.
Speaker 4: Clearly little video.

Speaker 1: He was trying to get rid of them so he
Speaker 1: could put the marble rye back exactly.
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, you're probably right, yeah yeah, Okay, you just
Speaker 8: teased this in our last segment, So we'll start with
Speaker 8: John Torrella up to it again. His antics post game
Speaker 8: last night, because you know, nobody's more important than him
Speaker 8: in his time, he had a little bit of a
Speaker 8: battle with a microphone when he was trying to give
Speaker 8: one of his answers, and this is how it went down.
Speaker 11: Oh I thought we were I don't think we were
Speaker 11: that bad.
Speaker 8: First of all, props, he picked things up like immediately,
Speaker 8: like no problem towards.
Speaker 1: It, but can relate to that microphone.
Speaker 8: I have no time for him anymore. That disdain he
Speaker 8: has for the media, despite constantly taking a paycheck from
Speaker 8: the media whenever he's out of a job, and and
Speaker 8: just that nobody is more important than him, and even
Speaker 8: this fake thing he does where you know, I don't
Speaker 8: need any credit. It's all about my players needing credit.
Speaker 8: It's a roundabout way of saying, yeah, keep giving me credit,
Speaker 8: because I'm gonna take it. I just and the way
Speaker 8: he looked over at the PR guy, like hey, come
Speaker 8: and fix this a microphone.
Speaker 12: Anybody would have a microphone. I picked a mic up,
Speaker 12: you put him back, You're wrong, wrong, I just I'm
Speaker 12: tired of his act. He just everything, the way he
Speaker 12: spits on our I.
Speaker 4: Think people feel about him in Vegas right now.
Speaker 8: Of course, if he wins a cop, I mean, well,
Speaker 8: there's one guy that doesn't like him. It's probably Bruce Cassidy.
Speaker 1: But with just the look on his face when the
Speaker 1: mic rives.
Speaker 8: Well and then even now like oh, would you hurry
Speaker 8: up and get this fix?
Speaker 4: I would imagine that's the Vegas I don't know his name,
Speaker 4: the Vegas media relationship, probably the NHL, the or the NHL,
Speaker 4: and it's.
Speaker 8: More more in their territory than towards it's picking up
Speaker 8: a mic.
Speaker 4: Was he that that? And gentleman there, I would imagine
Speaker 4: would probably be more familiar with microphones than John Tortorilla.
Speaker 4: He'd let him handle it and everything was was fine.
Speaker 8: The other night after Game three, he provided ninety seconds
Speaker 8: and like three word answers to.
Speaker 1: All the questions.
Speaker 4: Well, I will say, because nobody they're already in trouble
Speaker 4: because of the way he has handled the media in
Speaker 4: the past. But I don't think that was a big deal.
Speaker 4: I thought it was kind of funny.
Speaker 8: Actually, where's your sense of here, where's your backing of
Speaker 8: our jobs?
Speaker 4: You ripped into all every.
Speaker 8: Time Belichick did something along these lines, that's not the same.
Speaker 4: Okay, difficult, Okay if you want to call it that, Sure,
Speaker 4: and he lets somebody who's probably more familiar with the
Speaker 4: technical difficulty handle.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what about and then they then did he leave? Well,
Speaker 1: he kept answering questions.
Speaker 8: Okay, so what about Saturday night after Game three when
Speaker 8: he was given no answer?
Speaker 4: Look, okay, he hasn't got the greatest history in the world.
Speaker 1: But I think you're off base here.
Speaker 8: It's all in line with why am I even doing this?
Speaker 8: You idiots in the media. I got no time for
Speaker 8: There is that he works for ESPN, comes call and
Speaker 8: gives him another job, and he gets money from the
Speaker 8: media profession. I'm tired of it. And look at it's
Speaker 8: clearly successful. I mean, he's on the verge.
Speaker 1: He keeps getting highed, he wins another. I think he's
Speaker 1: act as good for the game, we're bad for the game.
Speaker 8: It's probably good for the game, but is it respectful
Speaker 8: to what we do?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: No, But he's had a lot of success. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's been twenty two years since he won that Stanley
Speaker 4: up in Tampa Bay. It just seems like, uh, yeah, yesterday.
Speaker 8: Jack Adams and Columbus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's had a couple of them, if I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken. But he's had success, and he.
Speaker 4: Keeps getting hired.
Speaker 1: Somebody likes him, but I don't. And I agree with you.
Speaker 4: I don't like the way. I don't always like the
Speaker 4: way he treats the media, and coupled with the irony
Speaker 4: of him working in the media, just.
Speaker 1: It doesn't go over well with me or a lot
Speaker 1: of people to me.
Speaker 4: But last night that was just kind of funny.
Speaker 1: I thought you're nippicking today. That's a nippick An item
Speaker 1: on you on John nippicking.
Speaker 8: Well, greedy disagree, that's fine.
Speaker 4: On the other side, John chann By the way, the
Speaker 4: Marble Rye episode episode and I got the name right.
Speaker 1: It's beefer Reno, not Berni. Okay, that's why.
Speaker 4: That's why.
Speaker 1: That's from Cam. That's why you were me. We Ron
Speaker 1: and Cloverdale just sent us Rice a Roni. The commercial.
Speaker 1: It's a great commercial, one of the best all the time.

Speaker 4: He joins us from the one hundred Percent Hockey podcast
Speaker 4: on Canucks John Chatton, Thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 4: Oh, look at this Rick I'm doing?
Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 4: Boys, love it?
Speaker 1: Love it? Yeah. The San Francisco Treat San Francisco Treat. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1: You just happened to have that nearby before this interview.
Speaker 4: That's amazing.
Speaker 13: The props department is just down.
Speaker 1: Give them a raise there.
Speaker 13: Trust me, there are a lot of props.
Speaker 4: I have no idea what the segue is here, John,
Speaker 4: But do you understand what the Edmonton Oilers are thinking
Speaker 4: going after like or reportedly going after like Babcock was.
Speaker 13: Not reportedly they are going after my Babcock. I do
Speaker 13: understand it. It doesn't necessarily mean I agree with it,
Speaker 13: nor do I do. I feel that it's going to
Speaker 13: be one hundred percent certain that he will be the coach.
Speaker 11: I think that.
Speaker 13: What we're witnessing in the last couple of days is
Speaker 13: pushback from his time in Columbus. UH and the players Association,
Speaker 13: insisting that the league get to the bottom of what
Speaker 13: actually went on in Columbus because the league did not
Speaker 13: do an investigation of the events in and around that
Speaker 13: summertime when Mike was the coach that briefly for the
Speaker 13: Blue Jackets. And then we'll just have to wait and see.
Speaker 13: It could take a while, Donnie. Before the NHL the players,
Speaker 13: they talked to the people in the Columbus organization, they
Speaker 13: talked to of exactly what went on and and what
Speaker 13: you do have to wonder, and this is my own
Speaker 13: personal opinion, what you do have to wonder if Mike
Speaker 13: wants to go through that again. You know it's not
Speaker 13: you know, he's going to get paid handsomely if he
Speaker 13: gets the coaching job, but there are other things that
Speaker 13: time is more important than money, and you have to
Speaker 13: wonder if he wants to go through that.
Speaker 1: Would he get paid handsomely?
Speaker 4: John, I mean, brother, this is relatively speaking, because what's
Speaker 4: his leverage? Who else is going after him?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 13: I think he would get hit paid handsomely because of
Speaker 13: what the Oilers need and his resume of how much
Speaker 13: he has been paid in the past. And I just
Speaker 13: mean to me, handsomely is it at least seven figures,
Speaker 13: and for the four of us that would be handsomely
Speaker 13: for sure, you got that right. So from that perspective,
Speaker 13: I think that you know, you have to wonder at
Speaker 13: a certain point if going through this and being dragged
Speaker 13: through the mud again, is it worth it for Mike.
Speaker 13: Now I'm not I'm and I'm not even certain that
Speaker 13: Mike is the right guy for the job. At the
Speaker 13: same time, this is one of those ones where I
Speaker 13: think there are so many different angles to look at
Speaker 13: the story before we get to the point of the
Speaker 13: Oilers dropping the puck next season.
Speaker 4: Does it surprise you that the Oilers leadership group, which
Speaker 4: you assume is m McDavid and Drisidle et cetera, maybe
Speaker 4: Zach Hyman and Evan Bouchard, they've given this their stamp
Speaker 4: of approval.
Speaker 13: The way it was explained to me is I think
Speaker 13: that the name, you know, Mike's name, was introduced to
Speaker 13: the guys. I do believe that Zach obviously is a
Speaker 13: huge Mike Babcock fan from his time in Toronto. I
Speaker 13: think the other sidebar to this is that Mike's son
Speaker 13: has been hired by the by the Hyman family to
Speaker 13: coach their junior team in Brantford. So that's part of
Speaker 13: a storyline. I do think that there's a real belief
Speaker 13: and if you sat with Leon or sat with Connor,
Speaker 13: they say, we need to be a lot more hardline
Speaker 13: in our games. We need to be a lot more
Speaker 13: decisive in our games. From that perspective, From a tactical
Speaker 13: technical perspective, Mike Babcock is very good. It's how he
Speaker 13: treats people is the question. And whether that will become
Speaker 13: a factor. If Mike Babcock can come out and say, listen,
Speaker 13: I treated people badly, I was wrong. I can be better,
Speaker 13: then perhaps something can come of this. But we haven't
Speaker 13: heard or we haven't heard from Mike about it, we
Speaker 13: haven't heard from the league about it, and we're only
Speaker 13: hearing media reports of what's going on.
Speaker 1: All right, there's another high profile team in Canada still
Speaker 1: looking for a coach. What are you hearing on the
Speaker 1: Maple Leae front.
Speaker 13: Well, I was I was one of those guys led
Speaker 13: to believe late last week it was going to beat
Speaker 13: Peter Laviolette and the things were close. You know, whether
Speaker 13: he got they got thrown for a loop or Kenny
Speaker 13: just swooped in and hired him for the Kings. We
Speaker 13: will have to wait and see.
Speaker 4: I I.
Speaker 13: You know there are there are still plenty of names
Speaker 13: the other way. Let me just throw one name atche
Speaker 13: that's already in the Leaf organization, and that's John Gruden.
Speaker 13: You know, the Marleys are in the AHL Calder Cup
Speaker 13: Championship series. This guy has done a hell of a job.
Speaker 13: And when you think about what the Maple Leafs are
Speaker 13: going to be going through for the next two or
Speaker 13: three years, the question has to be asked, isn't John
Speaker 13: Gruden potentially the right type of coach for this hockey
Speaker 13: club right now? You know the I got news for
Speaker 13: Leaf fans. They're not winning the Stanley Cup next year.
Speaker 13: You know you're not that close. Why not build with
Speaker 13: a guy who has built junior teams and junior franchises
Speaker 13: successfully and now has done a pretty good job with
Speaker 13: the Marleys in the short term. As you guys both know,
Speaker 13: coaches don't last very long and in many ways you
Speaker 13: need a bridge coach, and wouldn't John Gruden at this
Speaker 13: point be a pretty good bet to be a bridge
Speaker 13: coach for your hockey club, particularly when you're watching him
Speaker 13: coach right now within your own organization.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Carolina Vegas, tons of goals. Love it. But what
Speaker 1: about the ratings down South? Pretty big for Game three?
Speaker 1: I think they pass five million, close to six Yeah,
Speaker 1: did you see that coming.
Speaker 14: No.
Speaker 13: But at the same time, ratings have been really, really
Speaker 13: strong Rick since the Olympics and and and what has
Speaker 13: happened is for the first time in all of these
Speaker 13: years that NHLers have gone to Olympics, and everybody prayed
Speaker 13: for the bump, we need a bump coming out of
Speaker 13: the games. Well we got the bump. We got the
Speaker 13: bump for one reason. The United States won, and the
Speaker 13: and America bought into the game. And particularly what we're
Speaker 13: seeing is growth amongst female viewers. Well, as you guys
Speaker 13: both know, the Olympics are designed for a female viewership,
Speaker 13: and so that's in my opinion, that's exactly what's happened,
Speaker 13: is that female viewers are growing the NHL game because
Speaker 13: of the residue of what we saw in Italy in February,
Speaker 13: and finally the NHL has been able to take advantage
Speaker 13: of it. And now we're seeing entertaining hockey. We're seeing
Speaker 13: a ton of mistakes, we're seeing players play with a
Speaker 13: lot of excitement, a lot of energy, and it's it's
Speaker 13: it's auguring well for the game south.
Speaker 1: Of the Border, for sure. Heated Rivalry has helped as
Speaker 1: well the popularity.
Speaker 13: Everybody and I have not seen Heated Rivalry.
Speaker 4: I have not watched it.
Speaker 13: I have not done what the commissioner did and binge
Speaker 13: it over a weekend. Have you watched it, Donnie?
Speaker 4: I watched one episode and I can see the attraction,
Speaker 4: uh for the female audience.
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, yeah.
Speaker 4: Well I'll have to.
Speaker 1: I'll have to.
Speaker 13: I'll have to have to load that one up and
Speaker 13: watch it on the plane one day.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You and Gary get together and he can watch he
Speaker 1: can watch it again.
Speaker 13: Hey, no, because no, because if Gary watches it again,
Speaker 13: he's gonna point it the things. Hey, watch this, watch this.
Speaker 13: I can't stand people to do that to me.
Speaker 1: Okay, Hey, I got to ask you this too.
Speaker 4: He's a friend of the show. But Chris Cuthbert was
Speaker 4: on your show on Monday, recipient of the twenty twenty
Speaker 4: six Foster Hewitt Award Hockey Hall of Fame. Anybody more
Speaker 4: deserving than Chris John No, Chris.
Speaker 13: Has done Yeoman's work for the game. The NHL game.
Speaker 13: When you consider that he started doing games with US
Speaker 13: in nineteen eighty three and then called, in my opinion,
Speaker 13: the greatest goal in Canadian hockey history since seventy two,
Speaker 13: which was Sydney's goal in Vancouver in twenty ten, and
Speaker 13: then did has done such great work for Hockey Night
Speaker 13: in Canada for TSN over the years, calling as many
Speaker 13: games that he has. Chris is one of those guys.
Speaker 13: He's a workhorse. If there are three games to be
Speaker 13: done in a day, Chris wants to do all three.
Speaker 13: And he's got a passion for.
Speaker 4: Play by play.
Speaker 13: He's a good storyteller. He knows how to weave the
Speaker 13: game in amongst the other events that are going on.
Speaker 13: He does a tremendous job. And I will say this.
Speaker 13: You know, we talk about the greatness of broadcasters, and
Speaker 13: we always talk about booming voices. Chris doesn't have a
Speaker 13: booming voice, and he's compensated for the lack of the
Speaker 13: giant voice with information.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 13: And he's learned how to do that so well, and
Speaker 13: he is well deserving of the foster he would award.
Speaker 4: Well said, all right, uh, John, next week Salley Cup
Speaker 4: Final be over and we'll talk to you then and
Speaker 4: go enjoy your rice Aeroni and maybe an episode of

Speaker 14: get I'll get my Harlequinn and I'll get my you know,
Speaker 14: streetheart stuff going for Regina because that's the top of
Speaker 14: the top of the.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're talking. Dolly was language here, although he's more
Speaker 1: of an eighties guys.
Speaker 4: Hey, what what is it going to be? How motivated
Speaker 4: is your team going to be because you have all
Speaker 4: sorts of returning players in Regina on Saturday, I would
Speaker 4: assume they're gonna unveil their Great Cup banner on Saturday.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's gonna be good.
Speaker 14: It's gonna be good for our guys to see what
Speaker 14: it's like to, you know, be a championship football team.
Speaker 14: We were, we were close, but close doesn't count in
Speaker 14: professional football.
Speaker 3: You gotta be. You gotta beat, you gotta win, you
Speaker 3: gotta win.
Speaker 14: And so I'm you know, we're gonna be going into Regina.
Speaker 14: It's gonna be unfriendly, confined, Its gonna be a big crowd,
Speaker 14: and they're gonna be unveiling their Great Cup banner. But
Speaker 14: that's good for our guys to see because that's where
Speaker 14: we want to beat. So next year when Regina comes
Speaker 14: to us, we can unveil our banner too.
Speaker 4: What makes you confident your team has improved since last
Speaker 4: year's Western Final.
Speaker 14: I just think we're a little bit, you know, a
Speaker 14: little bit more experienced guys like Nathan, you know, unbelievably,
Speaker 14: he's gotten better. I mean I see him at practice
Speaker 14: all the time and things, the things he's doing were
Speaker 14: not things that he was willing to do a couple
Speaker 14: of years ago. And I mean that he's just more
Speaker 14: comfortable and the receivers are getting more comfortable to him.
Speaker 14: Him and Buck have been working since the season ended
Speaker 14: last year to you know, make this football team what
Speaker 14: it is. And so we're gonna live by our offense,
Speaker 14: and I believe our defense is a really well because
Speaker 14: they go against the best offense in the league every week.
Speaker 14: So you know what, we're ready. We're ready for whatever
Speaker 14: challenge has come. And it starts obviously this Saturday.
Speaker 1: And in Saskatchewan, Neil that you got the best offense
Speaker 1: in the league by a country mile. On defense, you
Speaker 1: probably gave up a little bit more points than you
Speaker 1: wanted to most in the West, I believe it was.
Speaker 1: Do you have confident the defense is going to be
Speaker 1: better this year?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm confident.
Speaker 14: I mean those guys again are a year older, they're
Speaker 14: they're a year aged, and then you know they know
Speaker 14: what's coming at them and they they also I mean,
Speaker 14: let's be honest, the offense is in the Canadian Football
Speaker 14: League right now are prolific across the board. I mean,
Speaker 14: you're you're not going to get you know, a bye week.
Speaker 14: But playing anybody, you're going to have to bring your
Speaker 14: a game on offense and defense and on special teams.
Speaker 14: And our guys know that they are prepared for it,
Speaker 14: and you know, we're ready for the challenges that await
Speaker 14: us this year.
Speaker 1: The new practice facility, How cool is it that the
Speaker 1: owner invested that money into that and we saw the
Speaker 1: video and the pictures looks spectacular.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty good.
Speaker 14: I mean, I'm glad we had the bye week, to
Speaker 14: be quite honest, because you know what, I think they
Speaker 14: were a little bit overwhelmed in excitement, and so it
Speaker 14: was good to get just that out of the way.
Speaker 3: And now it's down to business.
Speaker 14: Now we're you know, starting not to say that the
Speaker 14: locker room's old hat, but you know, hey, we're in it,
Speaker 14: We're we're using it.
Speaker 3: It's all working well.
Speaker 14: So things are good and now it's time to get
Speaker 14: down to you know, get on the field, start winning
Speaker 14: football games, which is what we're gonna start doing on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, game's at BC place for a while. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a while. Have you talked to the team
Speaker 1: about what that's going to entail. I mean, you guys
Speaker 1: had a you're very hard to beat at home at
Speaker 1: BC Place. Now you've got to play all these games away.
Speaker 14: Well, you know what, just like you said to me
Speaker 14: the last time we talked, you know, I keep on
Speaker 14: looking at the schedule you said the last time is
Speaker 14: gonna be tough. And you know what I looked at today,
Speaker 14: and it's the same schedule. Nothing's gonna change. You're not
Speaker 14: gonna get any breaks, so you're gonna have to deal
Speaker 14: with it. This is the schedule that we've been given
Speaker 14: and we're excited about, you know, playing this week, next
Speaker 14: week in Hamilton. Then we got two weeks two home
Speaker 14: games in Colowna. We get to show the country what
Speaker 14: Colonna is all about. As I said yesterday, it's exciting
Speaker 14: to go to Coloonna, except if you're a football team,
Speaker 14: you go there to lose. And our football team is
Speaker 14: gonna win. All the teams coming in are going to
Speaker 14: be having to deal with our offense, and obviously the
Speaker 14: crowd is going to be on our side. So hey,
Speaker 14: that's the schedule we got We're gonna deal with. We're
Speaker 14: just gonna, you know, do the best we can to
Speaker 14: get to championship level football this year.
Speaker 4: Five games away from Vancouver to to start out. Nine
Speaker 4: seemingly well balanced teams in the CFL, really smart and
Speaker 4: aggressive new commissioner and a terrific new media deal. What's
Speaker 4: your take on the state of the CFL, Neil.
Speaker 3: You know what, I've been in this league for thirty years.
Speaker 14: This is my thirtieth season, and you know, just the
Speaker 14: things I like about the commissioners that he's making changes
Speaker 14: and doing things that you know what, there's always been
Speaker 14: rumors and in years past, you know, things have been leaked,
Speaker 14: but these aren't being leaked. These are just being told
Speaker 14: to us by the you know, the commissioner, which I
Speaker 14: think those that means it's real. I mean, you know,
Speaker 14: look at when when Amar Doman bought this football team,
Speaker 14: no one knew who he was, and now people are
Speaker 14: saying he's the best owner in professional sports in Canada.
Speaker 14: So the fact that we're making these these news announcements
Speaker 14: and they're not being leaked and that that means they're
Speaker 14: real to me. So I like the I love the
Speaker 14: new media deal. I think it's great. I think it's
Speaker 14: you know that we obviously, you know, the the people
Speaker 14: have stepped up because they know that we have a
Speaker 14: lot of viewers. We have a great product and so
Speaker 14: it's nothing but good for the future for the CA

Speaker 4: Is it just Me? Brought to you by OPEIC Outdoor
Speaker 4: Power Equipment Institute of Canada. Did you know you can

Speaker 4: operates a province wide network of recycling depots to ensure
Speaker 4: old electric outdoor power equipment gets collected and recycled responsibly.
Speaker 4: Visit opeic dot ca to get more info. That's oh,
Speaker 4: p e, I see dot ca.
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 4: Rick? What do you got?
Speaker 1: All right? Rick? You go on about getting Canadian players
Speaker 1: for the Canucks. Who gives a crap, let's worry about
Speaker 1: getting a winning team. Besides, the Canadian players haven't done
Speaker 1: good in the Worlds or the Four Nations. M sure,
Speaker 1: glad you don't have anything to do with four nation players. Yeah,
Speaker 1: four nations. So anyways, there's no name to this submission.
Speaker 1: But whether you think the Canucks should have six, nine
Speaker 1: or ten Canadians two is embarrassingly low. And I'll tell
Speaker 1: you something else. Every year the Stanley Cup winners got
Speaker 1: a good percentage of Canadian players on the roster. They
Speaker 1: know how to win, They provide grit, they provide a
Speaker 1: scoring that Canada provides. The Western Hockey League had more
Speaker 1: kids at the Combine in Buffalo than any other league. Uh,
Speaker 1: don so give me a break. And yes, the canuckity
Speaker 1: more Canadian players.
Speaker 4: Nothing wrong with the Canadian liking Canadian hockey players.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Like I mean, give me a break.
Speaker 4: Uh, Mark and Langford is it just me, But I'm
Speaker 4: with Ryan Turterella's actor is getting all the four year
Speaker 4: old could have put that mic back in the stand.
Speaker 1: It's not his job. I don't know how technically proficient
Speaker 1: towards is. Yeah, but maybe he just wasn't sure what
Speaker 1: to do. But Derek made a good point. But thank you. No, No,
Speaker 1: that's a good point.
Speaker 8: He could have just held on in the mic. Then
Speaker 8: he put the mic down, the mic falls and he
Speaker 8: moves it to the side. He knows, he's smart enough
Speaker 8: to know you have to talk into a mic at
Speaker 8: a press conference. Come on, John, and you just put
Speaker 8: it to the side.
Speaker 1: Just a PR guy. He needs a PR guy.
Speaker 4: He's supposed to pick it up and talk. Yeah, if
Speaker 4: you claim he's not not come disconnected at that point,
Speaker 4: it's a white on this mic. It just falls out
Speaker 4: of the holder. Yeah, So then he picks it and
Speaker 4: puts it to the OK. I thought he had to
Speaker 4: connect it back, just put it back in the whole gate.
Speaker 4: You know what, I might take back what I said.
Speaker 1: Look at this.
Speaker 4: Disdain on his face, like, oh my god, this is
Speaker 4: all It's not that bad.
Speaker 8: You're right, it's not that bad.
Speaker 1: He makes it out just nit picking on to the
Speaker 1: whole time that subject. You got a lot of support
Speaker 1: Bob and Ladner.
Speaker 4: Is it just me?
Speaker 1: Doesn't Jessica Campbell have a skating coach background as well?
Speaker 1: Possibly working with EP for forty and others that might
Speaker 1: work out? Again, that's Bob and Ladder added a couple
Speaker 1: of words in there.
Speaker 4: But again for people who are aware of this, there's
Speaker 4: this thought or report out there that there's a possibility
Speaker 4: that Cannucks are interested in former Seattle crack and assistant
Speaker 4: coach Jessic Campbell.
Speaker 1: But she does have a skating background.
Speaker 4: We mentioned Curtis Douglas if they extend him, and there's
Speaker 4: a there's a few players she could she could work with.
Speaker 1: I mean they have skating instructors. I get that, but
Speaker 1: that is a that is a food for thought from
Speaker 1: Bovid Ladder. Absolutely good submission. I shouldn't Douglas be a
Speaker 1: tap in for the Canucks. He addresses a roster need
Speaker 1: toughness and would be their defender or smaller players from
Speaker 1: being ragged. All Chris from Victoria with that submission. The
Speaker 1: only problem with Douglas is he an everyday player? Is
Speaker 1: he going to get healthy scratched. Is he going to
Speaker 1: play six minutes or nine minutes or eight minutes or
Speaker 1: seven that's the problem.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he'd have to improve a lot in the summer.
Speaker 4: But again more food for thought, Gan Richmond, is it
Speaker 4: just me? Apparently a Dolly went to London before big
Speaker 4: Ben bills.
Speaker 1: I mean we didn't know what Big Ben? What you said,
Speaker 1: big Ben? I thought I was thinking the movie Big Ben.
Speaker 1: You've seen the movie. I don't think I have no
Speaker 1: he was in the sixties seventies? Am I thinking? John Wayne?
Speaker 1: I just stop big Ben? Maybe it was at Tom's video.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but anyways, look a Ballzac is just joking.
Speaker 1: Title Ballzach is North to Calgary, famous for cross iron mills,
Speaker 1: Mall Yukon Spenser with the goods on Ball Zach Alberta.
Speaker 4: Yeah, glad you cleared that up. Okay, a break, We'll
Speaker 4: wrap up the show. The poll question next Donnie del
Speaker 4: the team on check.
Speaker 1: Remember that dead electric leaf blower in the garage, still
Speaker 1: hoping it'll come back to life. OPEIC is BC's recycling
Speaker 1: program for battery powered and electric outdoor power equipment.
Speaker 4: Just like other electronics, electric lawn and garden equipment can
Speaker 4: also be recycled when it reaches the end of its
Speaker 4: useful life.
Speaker 1: All electric yard tools don't have to end up in
Speaker 1: the landfill. If you're electric outdoor power equipment capy fixed,
Speaker 1: it can be recycled.
Speaker 4: Whether it's a leaf.
Speaker 1: Blower, trimmer, or lawnmower. Many can be recycled for free
Speaker 1: in BC.
Speaker 4: Visit opeic dot ca to find a depot near you
Speaker 4: and recycle responsibly. That's opeice dot Ca.
Speaker 1: Doug poll Rick brob get her up the waddling dog
Speaker 1: pop pole question. And it is concerning toughness and Curtis Douglas.
Speaker 1: Should the Canucks fill out their toughness void? How did
Speaker 1: they do it? With Michael McCarron signing in Minnesota yesterday?
Speaker 1: And look at this extend Curtis Douglas seventy nine percent,
Speaker 1: signed a UFA seventeen and then make a trade four percent.
Speaker 1: Exactly what I said before the show Curtis Douglas and
Speaker 1: was shot down by Ryan and big Ben.
Speaker 4: Big Ben was a movie, by the way, thank you.
Speaker 4: It wasn't the seventies. It was close twenty twenty four. Okay,
Speaker 4: are you thinking of there's no movie about a rat
Speaker 4: named Ben?
Speaker 1: Yes, right, yeah, yeah, there was a movie about a
Speaker 1: rat named Ben. P Seri said that, ah p Serie.
Speaker 4: Troy just said, remember the song Michael Jackson Ben Ben
Speaker 4: was a movie and was a song about a rat
Speaker 4: that Michael Jackson saying when he was a little kid.
Speaker 1: So there, I was a good song. Yeah, it was too.
