Man, 25 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.640 that's the Stanley Cup Final. Has been some kind of 26 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.959 entertaining series now tied at two, and I think part 27 00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:23.920 of it is because we didn't expect much and it's 28 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:24.640 been so good. 29 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:26.280 Another comeback last night. 30 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.840 Now Vegas didn't win, they came back from being down 31 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:30.719 two nothing. 32 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:31.040 Three to one. 33 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.000 But you know, years past I might have turned the 34 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.920 channel whatever the case may be. You would have turned 35 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.560 to Beverly Hillbillys or the Brady Bunch. But you know 36 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.799 what is islond. You just knew that they were going 37 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:43.599 to come back given what we've seen in the first 38 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.519 three game. Sure enough they did, but Carolina manages to 39 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.640 win and even up the series. We'll talk more about 40 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.840 that Stanley Cup Final as the two hours go on. 41 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:59.079 Some really interesting stories of Brandon Bussy and Jordan Stall 42 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:03.439 and what's happening Freddy Anderson, So we'll dive into those 43 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.079 stories a little bit later, along with other stories. But 44 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.960 Vancouver Canucks, yes, okay, there are things happening with the 45 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:16.560 Vancouver Canucks. Nothing official, but we know there are vacancies 46 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.400 in Abbotsford. Who's going to be the GM, who's going 47 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.639 to be the head coach, and out of nowhere a 48 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.840 name is popped up from the from his old Alberta Junior. 49 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.120 Hockey League days with the Brooks Bandits. 50 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:34.159 We're talking about a possibility, a possible Abbotsford head coach here. 51 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:39.960 Well, one good young up and coming coach is Ryan Popiano. 52 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.120 A couple of people told me the Canucks have interest 53 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:47.120 in Popiano looking into it. Longtime coach with the Brooks Bandits, 54 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.719 last year coach Wheeling of the East, Coach Hockey League, 55 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.960 nine Alberta Junior Hockey League titles, well respected Popiano. Donny 56 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.800 has got a long track record of developing elite players, 57 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.560 helping them reach the potential. Cal mccarr Klee McCarry coach 58 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.759 for two years in Brooks I think in twenty fifteen 59 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.960 and twenty sixteen, so Cale McCary coach. Not sure what 60 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:13.639 role in Vancouver. I just I was in Vancouver and Atavisford. 61 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.199 I was just told, you know, the Canucks have interest 62 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.639 there to keep an eye on them, so we'll do that. 63 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.639 But this is the type of young coach. What has 64 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.319 he done? I think he's forty two. It's fine. He 65 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.800 left Brooks to go to Wheeling. Pittsburgh Penguins hired him 66 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.439 by the way to go to Wheeling. 67 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:37.680 But he's there Wheeling their East Coast Hockey League associated team. 68 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.960 And Ryan Johnson is so good at knowing every single 69 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.199 body in the American League and the East Coast Hockey 70 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.879 League because the Canucks have an East Coast Hockey League 71 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.199 affiliate as well. So to talk to some people this morning, 72 00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.319 they're not surprised. He's on the radar for teams. A 73 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.520 very good young coach. So we'll keep an eye on that, okay. 74 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:02.039 And as far as other coaches go, Uh, the name 75 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:06.560 Jim Hiller has popped up former let go by.

So you 82 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:28.759 know what his name's out there. There's a lot of 83 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.319 BC connections. We know the Canucks during the GM search 84 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.240 interviewed a lot of guys with BC connections. I I 85 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:39.720 I like that. I remember h the interviewed Jeff Tambalini 86 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:41.759 and a whole bunch of other guys with BC connections. 87 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.120 So we'll see if if Hiller would be on their 88 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:45.680 radar for. 89 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.720 A possible Jeff Tamblin, who was out there as as 90 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.000 a possible GM as a gym. Yeah, okay, so okay. 91 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.560 Let's let's get back to the abbots for coaching situation. 92 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.680 What about Jessica Campbell who recently left the Kracken organization 93 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.399 down in Seattle. I I still Elliott dropped her name 94 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.560 about a week ago affiliated with Vancouver. I heard it 95 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.759 again this morning, still popping around. But is it for 96 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.560 Vancouver Orrabersburg. I don't know, so we'll monitor that. But 97 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.199 Jessica Campbell, who was in Seattle uh and then left 98 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.480 the Kraken Elliott Freeman mentioned her name connected to Vancouver 99 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.720 a week ago. I'm still hearing that name connected to 100 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.519 the Canucks. But time will tell. We'll see if that 101 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:28.199 goes anywhere. 102 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:32.800 Yeah, so some names we haven't heard of being thrown 103 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.800 around here. But the Ryan Popiano is interesting. You know, 104 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.360 a friend of a friend of mine who I graduated 105 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.480 with back in the day. His kid Austin Plevi. 106 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:43.519 Langley Clip. 107 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.519 I remember as played with the Brooks Band, has led 108 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.160 them and scrolling at least one season, a couple of seasons. 109 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.439 And remember him playing for Ryan Papaiano, so very well 110 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:56.160 respected former goaltender in the Western Hockey League with Lethbridge. 111 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.279 And I think he played with Seattle as well. 112 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.079 The name to keep an eye on. We'll do that. 113 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.319 Okay, Dale Tallon. We talked about him the last couple 114 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:08.000 of days. He was a consultant under Jim Ruthiford. We 115 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.560 didn't see him much. We didn't hear from him much. 116 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.240 We understand that he's left the Cannucks. 117 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.120 He is gone, but he was. He's left the Canucks 118 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:17.319 organization again. 119 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.839 Remember he was with him as a player, first ever 120 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:21.360 draft pick. 121 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.680 Look it up, kids, nineteen seventy. You and I remember 122 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.720 Dale seventies. He was a Jim Rutherford higher. His contract 123 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:30.720 was up. He's been a scout and a senior advisor 124 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:35.079 since twenty twenty two. He's gone, so he's not going 125 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:37.639 to be renewed. One thing I want to say to you, 126 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.600 don Lots of rumors that Patrick Elvin's gonna end up 127 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.959 in Seattle. If he does end up in Seattle, and 128 00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.680 I hear it's getting cold as what. So this is 129 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:49.519 what I want to tell you. I wonder if he 130 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:53.519 gets like a vice president position in Seattle, so that 131 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.839 that'll be something to monitor for Patrick Elvin. He's got 132 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.240 the relationship with the Seattle GM there Jason Bottrell, which 133 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:01.680 we through Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh. 134 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.279 They were together, so they're going to go down the 135 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.920 Pittsburgh rou Papiano has a Pittsburgh connection as well. 136 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.680 Yeah, he was hired by the Penguins, so we'll keep 137 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:10.199 an eye. 138 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.959 On the entire NHL just hiring people. 139 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.160 He used to work former Penguins, former Penguins. 140 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:21.439 So the Canucks, well he wasn't ever a UFA, but 141 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:24.480 he was going down that road lost out on Michael McCarron, 142 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:30.000 big tough center. He has extended with the Minnesota Wild 143 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:34.120 six year deal, and our understanding is that the Canucks 144 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.839 were interested in him, like a lot of teams, Oh 145 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.959 didn't look out a place in the playoffs. 146 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:41.759 So that leads to the question. 147 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:43.959 Where are they gonna and this will be the focus 148 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.920 of our wedding dog poll question as well, where are 149 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.000 they going to get some toughness. 150 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.560 Oh okay, Well that's a great question, don And by 151 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.199 the way, I want to get this in. The Canucks 152 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.079 were very keen to see what was going to happen 153 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.879 with Michael mccareyn. He obviously signed, as you said, So 154 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.120 what did the Canucks do with toughness? Curtis Douglass As 155 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.279 a UFA, I do believe the Canucks want to add toughness, 156 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.439 but that role would have to be an everyday player, 157 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.240 a player who can be in the lineup every single game. Now, 158 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:12.519 let's go back to Douglas. His teammates love him, fans 159 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.519 love him, coaches love him. But he was healthy, scratch. 160 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.439 There was three games I counted where Adam Foot gave 161 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.480 him six minutes, I mean, which is ridiculous, right, I mean, 162 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.600 So that doesn't mean the Canucks aren't going to resign Douglas. 163 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.399 And as far as the last time I checked, there 164 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:29.240 hasn't been any contract talks. But do the Canucks go 165 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.240 to July first to get toughness? Their high interest in 166 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.000 McCarran tells me that's an indicator they most likely will. 167 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.080 There's guys out there like Brandon daheme if he hits 168 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.759 the market, Canucks had interest in him three years ago, 169 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.279 so do they go back to that. Well, you don't 170 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.679 look excited about that. No. I love Brandon to him, 171 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.840 but he's one of the best team players in Washington. 172 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:50.200 If if you go do your research on the guy, Donnie, 173 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.000 he's one of those glue guys in the dressing room, 174 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.600 just keeps everyone. You know, he's always doing pranks in 175 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:57.399 this and that he's a well they need to yeah, well, 176 00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:59.639 you know what I mean. They need good people in 177 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:02.840 the dress so let's see what they do for toughness. 178 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.360 But I was told that they would prefer to add 179 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.559 toughness with a guy that's in the lineup every scenele of. 180 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.159 Course that those the days are over of the exactly 181 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.320 with all due respect of the goon good movie. 182 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:17.639 Absolutely and gold movies. Go look at Carolina in Vegas. 183 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.960 Their third and fourth lines, Donny, look at their fourth line. 184 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.000 Guys get nine minutes, ten minutes, thirteen minutes, fourteen minutes. 185 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.440 They're playing every game. You know, you got to have 186 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:27.679 your fourth line playing the third period. You got to 187 00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:29.639 have your fourth line play in two to one hockey 188 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:31.679 games in the third period. You can't just go with 189 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.919 three and there's some edge there as well. Yeah, there's 190 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.919 like washing Col's out for the Carolina. Hey, they're both 191 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.320 those fourth lines in Carolina Vegas. Very good. 192 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.840 Okay, So all of this leads to our Waddling Dog 193 00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.799 poll question. We good, Ryan. By the way, I just 194 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.879 want to say this that we always discuss things before 195 00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.320 the show, and I talked about our preparation before the show. 196 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.600 Your takes today off, Ryan, Like, honestly, you're off your 197 00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.039 game completely. So maybe we'll talk about that a little 198 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.679 bit later. Waddling Dog poll question. The experienced one of 199 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.960 Victoria's iconic destinations, Catch the World Cup at the Dog. 200 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.159 We got the graphic here, Catch the World Cup at 201 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.399 the Now. Ryan's in a snit. Oh, he's mad. 202 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.799 He's mad with Canada games shown live and loud. 203 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.480 It starts on Thursday tomorrow, Rick, Oh, Canada games shown 204 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.639 live and loud and all twenty two TVs with full sound, 205 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.679 none of that new fangled music playing. Oh no that 206 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.720 the kids like during the games, full sound. Come sit 207 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:36.720 and stay at the Waddling Dog today, Rick, All right. 208 00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:38.720 Ryan, get her up. The Wadling Dog. Pup poll question. 209 00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.279 The Canucks lost out to Michael mccaron yesterday. How should 210 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.279 the Canucks fill their toughness void? And good lord, they've 211 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.440 been so easy to play against the last few years. 212 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.480 Everybody wants more Canadians, more toughness, more grit and more size. 213 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.440 Do you extend Curtis Douglas? Look at this eighty three 214 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:57.879 percent say extend Curtis Douglas, and then we got thirteen 215 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.759 percent say sign a UFA and then make a trade. 216 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.080 Three percent say make a trade to get toughness. But 217 00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:07.440 it certainly needs to be addressed. Cannucks only have two 218 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.840 Canadians on the roster. It's embarrassing. It's just absolutely unequivocally embarrassing. 219 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.759 The team down the highway across the border in Seattle's 220 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:19.960 got eleven Canadians. Kelly McCrimmon, good Canadian. GM's got ten 221 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.559 Western Canadian boys on Vegas, Donnie fourteen overall Canadians. They're 222 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.120 telling you something right there. Kelly knows how to put 223 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:28.200 together a hockey club. 224 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:30.399 You just said you thought it would be a good 225 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.240 idea for them to sign Michael McCarron. 226 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:38.440 Yeah, he's American toughness, toughness. I was talking about the toughness. 227 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:43.120 But otherwise they need more Canadians. He is American. Is American. 228 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.559 He was drafted by Montreal late in the first Gross 229 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.840 Pointe Michigan. Yeah, there you go, There you go. 230 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.039 One of the worst movies. I never liked the Gross 231 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:52.440 point blank. Did you just see it? 232 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.720 No? Yeah, community people love it. 233 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:57.320 I didn't love it. 234 00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.679 No, not a hockey movie. Yea. It was in the 235 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.080 nice long time ago. 236 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:02.039 I remember, I didn't like it. 237 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:06.480 Everybody loved it. Okay, moving on, how we do it 238 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:10.159 for time? Right? How we do it? Three minutes? 239 00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:14.320 Okay, well again we will we have an open segment, 240 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.399 a couple of segments from now. We'll dive into the 241 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:21.919 Stanley Cup final from last night. Ryan and I disagreed 242 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.320 on a John Torderella postgame clip. We'll talk about that. 243 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.159 Mike Babcock the latest on him. The NHL has asked 244 00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:34.320 prom me. The NHLPA has asked the league, the NHL 245 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:41.399 to do a full investigation of Mike Babcock being hired 246 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.519 with the possibility of him being hired by the orders 247 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:50.000 in mind. Now everybody remembers twenty twenty three when he 248 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.919 was let go by the Columbus Blue Jackets because of 249 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.679 i'll call it cell phone Gate. He wanted players to 250 00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.519 share their photos with him and maybe share the photos 251 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:04.279 with other players. It was a strange, weird request. Some 252 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.840 players were okay with it, a lot weren't. Complaints were made, 253 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:11.039 so there was going to be an investigation by the 254 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.799 NHL into that situation. It never happened because Mike Babcock 255 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.759 stepped out. He and the Blue Jackets came to an agreement. 256 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:23.440 He left, the organization never coached a game with him. 257 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:26.480 So the PA is saying, okay, he's about to be 258 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:28.279 It seems like he's about to. 259 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.320 Be hired by the Edmonton owners. 260 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:35.240 We're concerned about our players and their safety. 261 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.000 They don't want any abuse. 262 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:39.399 Going on, metal abuse going on, which Mike Babcock has 263 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.679 been accused of in the past. So they want the 264 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.759 NHL to delve into that investigation. Absolutely, and you can 265 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.440 understand that. And that's happening right now. And it's happening 266 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:51.120 right now. We talked about this yesterday. 267 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.399 It caught everybody off guard, this Mike Babcock thing, but 268 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.000 that's an organization that's got to win today. And as 269 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.600 Elliott said, the owner is the guy that he's driving 270 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.480 the bus there on Babcock, it's the owner. You know, 271 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:06.000 people say it's the GM or it's McDavid or dry title. 272 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.679 It's the owner who's getting tired of the leadership. 273 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.159 Portedly met with and the met with Babcock did living 274 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:15.720 and gave him their stamp of absolutely. 275 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:19.120 Absolutely absolutely. So let's see where this goes. Does the 276 00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:22.639 NHL say it's okay and then the oilers going sign him? 277 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:27.480 You would have to think given the situation they're in 278 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:30.799 at the stages of their career talking about Connor McDavid 279 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.240 and Leon Dry title, they don't want another Chris Noblock title. 280 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:36.279 It worked, I mean. 281 00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:37.759 They got to they got to a couple of Stanley 282 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.679 cap He got to the fire, but it was it 283 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:44.639 was somewhat veiled, but there was public criticism of their 284 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.399 coaching staff versus what they were up against during the 285 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:51.639 regular season and the playoffs. So there was that Jay Woodcroft, 286 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:54.799 same thing, not not much not much experience there. They 287 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.480 want to go down the road of a proven winner 288 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:00.159 and Mike Babcock say what you want and I you know, 289 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.000 he hasn't wont to playoff series since twenty thirteen, but 290 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.519 he has one a lot. His resume includes Stanley Cup's title, 291 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.279 a couple of Olympic gold medals, so I think you 292 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.840 can you can understand that, but there is the issue 293 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.840 of the way he treats people. It's not good and 294 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.679 and look, it's one thing for but David and dry 295 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:23.039 title to be okay with Mike Babcock, but reportedly the 296 00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.519 problem is the way he treats everybody else, way down 297 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:29.080 the roster and even even staff. 298 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.440 Third fourth line guys, you know, defense and even staff 299 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:33.960 though defense has been six you know, how do you 300 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:35.120 people who aren't players? 301 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:35.399 Right? 302 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.240 So good stories. 303 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:38.799 So it looks like the NHL is going to do 304 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.840 a full investigation. And my question there is yes, okay, 305 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.039 I get that, but aren't the oiler is going to 306 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.440 do the same thing and poke around ask people in Columbus, Hey, 307 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:52.080 what what happened here? And in Detroit and wherever he's been? Okay, 308 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.480 here's what's coming up on the show DTMZ.
