Speaker 1: our director. The voice of God is Derek One.
Speaker 4: How are you couldn't be better?
Speaker 1: Canucks in Vegas tonight, final game before the Olympic break.
Speaker 1: Mums along for the ride as they were in Utah
Speaker 1: coming off that six to loss Monday to the Mammoth.
Speaker 1: Canucks have lost sixteen eighteen, just a ray of sunshine
Speaker 1: sixteen eighteen to start this show. And in line with that,
Speaker 1: Philip heatel a eric I left the game in Utah
Speaker 1: early now, and we all know about Philip Heatele's concussion history,
Speaker 1: six documented concussions. We understand it's a migraine issue with him.
Speaker 4: Adam put said yesterday after practice, Donnie, migraine's not good obviously,
Speaker 4: boy oh boys. Just six games and he was come
Speaker 4: back down from his latest concussion which kept him out months.
Speaker 4: Remember the one of Washington Tom Wilson mid October. Yeah,
Speaker 4: the JT. Miller trade Dawn was a year ago, January
Speaker 4: thirty first, just a few days ago, the one year anniversary.
Speaker 4: He does only played twenty seven games in that one year.
Speaker 4: He's had two concussions. We don't know what this is.
Speaker 4: It's it's being called migraines.
Speaker 1: I can't remember an incident in that game in Utah
Speaker 1: where he took a hit where you'd think to yourself, well,
Speaker 1: that's that's dangerous.
Speaker 4: Could have been a bump in the first period.
Speaker 1: We don't know.
Speaker 4: With concussions, don.
Speaker 1: Well, that's almost more frightening.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or the lights, you know, the like no other
Speaker 4: people noise bothers people with.
Speaker 1: Concussions, and I say it's more frightening because if that's
Speaker 1: what it takes to trigger this sort of thing, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: then that's that's that's scary versus a you know, resounding
Speaker 1: hit like the one he absorbed from from Tom Wilson.
Speaker 4: Look, the Canucks new, Let's be honest, The Canucks new
Speaker 4: is concussion history in New York. They knew it. But
Speaker 4: it was the only centerment they were getting back for j. T.
Speaker 1: Miller.
Speaker 4: The Canucks could not have made a trade for JT.
Speaker 4: Miller don without getting a centerment back, and that's the
Speaker 4: bottom line, and he was the centerman that was available.
Speaker 4: They did their due diligence, checked up all the reports
Speaker 4: from his concussions in New York. It is what it is.
Speaker 1: We've just it seems like a mistake.
Speaker 4: We dealt with Tucker Pulman in the city, We've dealt
Speaker 4: with Michael Ferland in the city, and going back eighties nineties,
Speaker 4: I'm sure we can pick up more guys with concussions.
Speaker 4: It is what it is, and you feel for him.
Speaker 4: He worked hard to come back, but six games in,
Speaker 4: you know, in one year, Vancouver at first the Dickinson concussion,
Speaker 4: they hit from behind, then Tom Wilson, and now we're
Speaker 4: looking at Migraine. So you feel for him first, first,
Speaker 4: and foremost on you feel for him. You can criticize
Speaker 4: the trade all you want, You can criticize the Canucks
Speaker 4: all you want, but you think about the player first
Speaker 4: and what he's going on.
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that's not the case for a
Speaker 1: lot of the fans. They'll be asking why would they
Speaker 1: make that trade with the player with I guess at
Speaker 1: the time for documents for documented concussion New York. This
Speaker 1: whole situation with Peterson and Miller and the and the
Speaker 1: Pedterson contract has screwed everything up, screws It's inexcusable, and
Speaker 1: it's it's do you just feel bad for the fans?
Speaker 1: And again, you can criticize that deal, You can hope
Speaker 1: the best for Philipel, but my god, how you don't
Speaker 1: I don't get And again we'll learn more as the
Speaker 1: as the years go by. But whatever happened between Peterson
Speaker 1: and Miller, but how you how you can't get along
Speaker 1: living a dream life? Is is is beyond is beyond me?
Speaker 1: As for what Philipeal is going through right now and
Speaker 1: you can toss the concussion history aside, although it's hard
Speaker 1: to do that when you're talking about, you know, something
Speaker 1: involving the head and the brain. But uh, you know
Speaker 1: what I've I've suffered from migraine. So just it's happened
Speaker 1: later later in life for me. And there they are,
Speaker 1: they hammer you and uh, you know, all all the
Speaker 1: best to him if that's what he's he's dealing. It's tough.
Speaker 4: And another guy we have to mention in in our
Speaker 4: inbox is ven Bercie. Remember they hit in Vegas. Wasn't
Speaker 4: even you talk about what happened to uh, you know
Speaker 4: hetl Uh in Utah the other night. Look it's ven Bercie.
Speaker 4: He just turned around and and in Vegas and he
Speaker 4: never played again.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: It's so it's a very delicate situation with Philip Heto,
Speaker 4: but I wish him the best.
Speaker 1: The question with Philip Heel now they did it with
Speaker 1: thatcher Dempko. We'll get a Dempco update in a second.
Speaker 1: But do you do you sit him down for the
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Oh?
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean, what's the point The same thing as Dempko.
Speaker 4: As soon as they found out, Uh, you know, he's
Speaker 4: gonna have surgery. What's the point done. They're in thirty
Speaker 4: second place. What are you gonna he was playing on
Speaker 4: the wing, he wasn't even playing at center. Like, just
Speaker 4: just just give him the rest of the year off
Speaker 4: and see how his off season goes, and see if
Speaker 4: you you know, if he makes the decision to come
Speaker 4: back next year.
Speaker 1: Thirty second place, they're going to finish last place.
Speaker 4: There's no point play some kids, like play some kid, quit,
Speaker 4: quit sitt in ssan and quit sitting RATU play the kids.
Speaker 4: You're in thirty second What do you got.
Speaker 1: To lose to see that you're on the rebuilt train.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's it's ridiculous. Leakara Macki on the fourth line.
Speaker 4: Mancini's sitting while Joseph plays, Like you know, one of
Speaker 4: these guys is Adam trying to win every game? Like,
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you're in thirty second. Play the kids.
Speaker 1: What kind of a question is that? Of course he's
Speaker 1: trying to win, Okay, but it's not necessarily up to
Speaker 1: up to That's what coaches do, that's what they're wired
Speaker 1: to do. It's up to the organization to come up
Speaker 1: with those with those decisions. Thatcher Dempko.
Speaker 4: All right, sounds like Dempko will be having his surgery
Speaker 4: today on the hip. Donnie, Uh, he's looking at four
Speaker 4: to six months. What was it a week a week
Speaker 4: and a half ago that they announced he was done
Speaker 4: for the season, and so it looks like surgery is
Speaker 4: today for Thatcher, Dempko and Donnie. It's long. You know,
Speaker 4: the hips. The hips don't lie. It's Donnie Shakira that
Speaker 4: they don't lie.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 4: You have surgery there, it's it's going to be a
Speaker 4: long rehab four to six months.
Speaker 1: The way you work Shakura into that or whatever it
Speaker 1: was yesterday. Okay, so four to six month rehab. So
Speaker 1: if I'm that and if I'm involved with the Canucks
Speaker 1: medical staff, do you not say to yourself, who did
Speaker 1: Patrick Kane surgery? Because he had hip resurfacing. If I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken, you know something involving the hip. Okay, that's worked.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's you know, at his age to do
Speaker 1: what he's doing. I wonder if if there's the same
Speaker 1: person who's doing that. I'm not sure, but I would
Speaker 1: I would certainly look into that because that seems very successful.
Speaker 1: This is what I know about medicine. That's about it
Speaker 1: about I know that that guy. Yeah, because honestly, Rick,
Speaker 1: you you know somebody has hip surgery pro athlete, that's
Speaker 1: that's often spells end of career. And keep in mind
Speaker 1: with that Tri Dempko he underwent hip surgery in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: So second time this guy as going through major surgery
Speaker 1: and we're talking about the hibs for a goaltender. How
Speaker 1: important that is twice? What are your chances of recovering
Speaker 1: from that? And I just wonder if they if I
Speaker 1: don't know who's doing the surgery, but boy, i'd look
Speaker 1: into what what Ann Patrick Kane did.
Speaker 4: I've been told is going to be one hundred percent
Speaker 4: for training camp, and so what what's demp go showing
Speaker 4: up the guy that's played forty three games the last
Speaker 4: two years done, or the guy that's injured all the time,
Speaker 4: or is one hundred percent of healthy get back to
Speaker 4: vesna form, anything could happen.
Speaker 1: I have at heart, I find it hard to believe
Speaker 1: that he would be anywhere near one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: Or I've been told one hundred percent training camp, but
Speaker 4: who that's just a BA agent. No, I've been told
Speaker 4: by people he's going to be one hundred percent. The
Speaker 4: conocks have set. They're expecting him to be one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Come on, why would that be a strange to question that,
Speaker 1: given the fact he's going through hip surge, we're on
Speaker 1: top of everything else for a second time. And then
Speaker 1: and then of course I's gonna say they signed an extension,
Speaker 1: which you know, I think a lot people included myself,
Speaker 1: are okay with three years eight point five per it
Speaker 1: kicks in, so of course they're gonna there. They hope
Speaker 1: for that. I don't think it's I don't think I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be I think you're being insensitive saying boy,
Speaker 1: I have a hard time believing.
Speaker 4: That, and and and all these people that want Lincoln
Speaker 4: and traded just stop, just stop, and I'll tell you
Speaker 4: he's got a no move. He's not gonna wave it.
Speaker 1: Don right.
Speaker 4: Tol Apelo has had a small window of games. You
Speaker 4: don't know what you're gonna get with him next year.
Speaker 4: Remember when remember everybody in the city was doing cart
Speaker 4: wheels because Sea Loves took him to Game seven against seventon.
Speaker 1: What does Sea Loves do the year after? Struggled? Struggled?
Speaker 1: But everyone thinks tol Apilo is the guy now the
Speaker 1: look impressive.
Speaker 4: Donnie Donnie, Donnie the only the only goaltender that stays
Speaker 4: healthy and his NHL caliber on this roster is liking it.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you you see no potential with Tolapilo.
Speaker 4: I didn't say that. I told you everyone was doing
Speaker 4: all Sea loves. We got the goalie in the future.
Speaker 4: Guess what remember the first game against the Pittsburgh like something. Yeah, well, okay,
Speaker 4: but remember the first game against Calgary after Edmonton what
Speaker 4: he led in six seven goals and he struggled and
Speaker 4: he was sent.
Speaker 1: To the miners lankl and had a tough game.
Speaker 4: And you what goalie is doesn't struggle in front of
Speaker 4: the thirty second place team. He's got three defensemen that
Speaker 4: are twenty one and under every night playing in front
Speaker 4: of him.
Speaker 1: Come on. But again, I don't think. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's like you make it sound like it's strange that
Speaker 1: people would question Dempko's you know, health going going forward,
Speaker 1: and it's strange for people to say, Tolapilo looks looks
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, I know. I think those are obvious
Speaker 1: questions that anybody would ask. You're off today, and why
Speaker 1: did these guys sign demp go and not wait wait?
Speaker 4: They had all year to wait.
Speaker 1: Again, I don't remember a lot of which his contract
Speaker 1: looked like if they waited. Well, obviously not as good
Speaker 1: for Dempco as it is now, but I don't remember
Speaker 1: a lot of people complaining at the time. But man
Speaker 1: on top of everything else and being in thirty second place,
Speaker 1: this situation with Dempco, and now he'll what a tough,
Speaker 1: tough season. This is gonna go down as people are
Speaker 1: still in the seats. I get that, as the top
Speaker 1: three were seasons in history. I'm sorry to say it.
Speaker 1: They need a break final game before the Olympic break?
Speaker 1: Won't you rather do? Would you rather go to the
Speaker 1: Olympics or be in a three day break or three
Speaker 1: week break go to a cobo? So you'd rather have
Speaker 1: the three? You wouldn't be interested in representing your.
Speaker 4: Let me finish, I said, a lot of these guys
Speaker 4: are going to hop on a plane New Mexico or Hawaii,
Speaker 4: but I'd rather be going to Italy and trying to
Speaker 4: win a gold medal.
Speaker 1: What about like taking the break going to Italy to
Speaker 1: watch the put that in your pipe?
Speaker 4: You want to sit on a plane for sixteen hours
Speaker 4: to Italy.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, I think it's that long.
Speaker 4: It is thirteen to sixteen I did.
Speaker 1: I googled it. It's thirteen Well, no, it's not. It's
Speaker 1: ten hours.
Speaker 4: It's thirteen to sixteen hours.
Speaker 1: No, Rick, I took the next year of it. Hold
Speaker 1: on a second. You went to Italy, you went to Rome, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm thirteen hours. Well we went see Okay, No, that's
Speaker 1: a good point. We went to Calgary first, then from
Speaker 1: Calgary onto Rome, which was nine hours I think ten hours. Yeah,
Speaker 1: ten hour flight time. Anyway, it's eleven to fifteen hours
Speaker 1: Vancouver to Rome. Okay, I'm right there. I told you
Speaker 1: I did the research about anyway, eleven to fifteen hours. Look, look, look,
Speaker 1: we want to talk about the white Caps a lot too. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got time for this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you should probably save it. I don't want to
Speaker 5: get in trouble with our next guest down there.
Speaker 1: Oh please, big shot, come on.
Speaker 4: The next guy, moch And he's busy, man, he's got a.
Speaker 1: Major story going on in Vancouver. I'm the history of
Speaker 1: primary The future of the Vancouver white Caps is in
Speaker 1: jeopardy here in Vancouver anyway, big time. We'll deal with
Speaker 1: it in the third segment there. Yeah, okay, because I
Speaker 1: don't want to just you know, gloss yet right now?
Speaker 1: All right, man? That the timing after you like, how
Speaker 1: many people jumped Quit looking at the computer, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at you. How many people jumped on board with the
Speaker 1: white Caps this past year? What a Canuck's horrible season?
Speaker 1: White Caps just a terrific season. No, undoubtedly gained new
Speaker 1: fans that my two boys, my two sons went to
Speaker 1: White Guy, they loved it, just thought it was fantastic
Speaker 1: this year. And now you're all this talk. It does
Speaker 1: not look good for them sticking around Vancouver sports Man,

Speaker 1: and we'll talk about the white Caps a in a bit.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'll mention right now, okay, if

Speaker 1: triggered a big brawl. So we'll talk to Christian about that,

Speaker 1: From Kevin in Langley, Hey, I tweeted Moge last night
Speaker 1: about using his fame and popularity down on Radio Row
Speaker 1: to see if he can hook me up with some
Speaker 1: Super Bowl tickets, but he hasn't replied. Can you ask
Speaker 1: him about it? From me? Much appreciated Again From Kevin
Speaker 1: in Langley mob and Jonvitch down Santa Clara, California side
Speaker 1: of Super Bowl sixty Seahawks and Patriots on Sunday, moj
Speaker 1: thanks for doing this and what can you tell us
Speaker 1: about you being able to do something for Kevin and Langley?
Speaker 1: Come on, let's go.
Speaker 6: Hey, the only way I can do this quick plug
Speaker 6: from my guy, Anthony bay Rudy Venue Kings dot Com.
Speaker 6: I'm sending everybody to Anthony because I have no tickets
Speaker 6: to the Super Bowl? Are you crazy? Even if face?
Speaker 6: Actually I have a friend of mine, Freddie guy. You
Speaker 6: might have read the story that Steve Ewan wrote the
Speaker 6: Province he won the lottery because he has season tickets
Speaker 6: to the Seahawks. Even then, they're like thirty seven hundred
Speaker 6: US face right, So it's a steep ticket. I think
Speaker 6: it's up to like six grand to get in right now.
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's it's a coveted ticket, particularly with two
Speaker 6: teams Seattle traveling well to San Francisco driving the price up,
Speaker 6: and the Patriots always travel well. So I'm not those
Speaker 6: two teams not doing anyone any favors. When it comes
Speaker 6: to the cost of Super Bowl tickets.
Speaker 1: It took a long time to say.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kevin and Langley, how many super Bowls for you? Mode?
Speaker 1: What is this?
Speaker 6: This is the show's twenty fifth. Yeah, this is my
Speaker 6: twenty fourth. The only one that I missed was the
Speaker 6: year that my mom was of course passing away. So
Speaker 6: that was the Indianapolis super Bowl featuring the Giants and
Speaker 6: the Patriots, and that year Chris Burns, Mitch Berger, and
Speaker 6: Matt Baker still representative of the show, and we didn't
Speaker 6: do a show during the COVID year. So other than that,
Speaker 6: ever since the Ravens and the Giants in Tampa Bay
Speaker 6: in two thousand, all the way.
Speaker 1: Through Best super Bowl City, Worst New super Bowl City,
Speaker 1: New Orleans, and New Orleans Worst super Bowl City, a
Speaker 1: lot of people say Jacksonville.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Jacksonville was really bad logistically, but there were some
Speaker 6: great events of Jacksonville. Don't kid yourself. We had We
Speaker 6: had a really good time in Jacksonville. But yeah, you know,
Speaker 6: I mean, I was just talking a game Morenci, a
Speaker 6: good friend from Sports Grid, and you know, we were
Speaker 6: talking about the logistics. Here in San Francisco, it seems
Speaker 6: like everywhere you got to go, it's like forty minutes.
Speaker 6: Forty five minutes. You want to go to the team
Speaker 6: the player availability availabilities, the team availability sessions. It's out
Speaker 6: in Santa Clare and San Jose. It's forty five minutes.
Speaker 6: Last night, the media party was forty minutes away. As
Speaker 6: Gabe said, you know, some of the guys in the
Speaker 6: media started talking about that, and Joe Average is like,
Speaker 6: shut up, right, Like who cares? You're you know, you're
Speaker 6: at the super Bowl. You're going, well you have you're
Speaker 6: complaining because you got to go forty minutes somewhere. So
Speaker 6: it's first world problems.
Speaker 4: Hey Bob, Bob, everyone's picking the Seahawks. Where are you
Speaker 4: at with this? Because why are the Patriots even showing up?
Speaker 4: Everyone's got the Seahawks.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, the more you talk to people this week,
Speaker 6: the more you break it down, the more opinions you get.
Speaker 6: It's it's really cool because you just kind of you
Speaker 6: have your own opinions. Some people are reinforcing it, other
Speaker 6: people are challenging it, and you kind of by the
Speaker 6: time you get the Friday, you're really dialed in on
Speaker 6: where you think this game should go. But I think
Speaker 6: right now, just on the onset talking to a lot
Speaker 6: of people is the fact that, you know, the Patriots
Speaker 6: had an easy schedule. The Seahawks are much more battle
Speaker 6: tested against you know, veteran teams. But you know, and
Speaker 6: then you look at the Patriots offensive line, particularly on
Speaker 6: the left side. That's an air of concern for a
Speaker 6: lot of people. But you know, I just look at
Speaker 6: this game, and you've got two quarterbacks whose body of
Speaker 6: work doesn't include high pressure games such as the super Bowl.
Speaker 6: So it's gonna be interesting to see how May and
Speaker 6: Darnold performed perform in this game. And just you know,
Speaker 6: and everyone's talking about that player who pops, Who's going
Speaker 6: to be that guy that steps out of the shadows?
Speaker 3: The X factor makes a big play. You gotta love this.
Speaker 3: So I'm walking to the hotel this morning. I look over.
Speaker 6: They got the ESPN whatever show on, and underneath is
Speaker 6: Jackson Smith Njigma, the X factor for the Seahawks. So
Speaker 6: I got the snapshot of the screenshot and then I
Speaker 6: sent it to Tucker. I go, I finally see your point,
Speaker 6: because this is stupid. How can the leading receiver on
Speaker 6: the Seahawks be an X factor?
Speaker 1: Here you go?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 6: So I had and Ross texted me back, he's here,
Speaker 6: he's floating around somewhere. But yeah, we got a good
Speaker 6: chuckle out of that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's my next question. Not many teams have
Speaker 4: done it, but can the Patriots defense stop Jackson Smith Nejigba.
Speaker 6: Well, the one thing that you hear from people, and
Speaker 6: we broke it down yesterday pretty good with Brian Baldinger
Speaker 6: from NFL Network and others, is the Patriots are going
Speaker 6: to be okay on the corners. It's the mismatches that
Speaker 6: they might have inside with slot receivers and how Seattle
Speaker 6: might move a GUYLEC Smith and a Jigma sometimes maybe
Speaker 6: do what we call the number two or three receiver
Speaker 6: inside and then you have a bit of a mismatch
Speaker 6: because people are too keen on the safeties of the
Speaker 6: Patriots covering. They love the corners, including Gonzales. Then there's
Speaker 6: no issues in terms of the Patriots corners. It's more
Speaker 6: of the safeties that they think they can get a mismatch.
Speaker 6: And it's going to be interesting to see what Clint
Speaker 6: Kubiak does if he can get some of those mismatches
Speaker 6: during the course.
Speaker 1: Of the game. If you've checked out Moj's work, not
Speaker 1: just this year, but through the years you always you
Speaker 1: do a great job of trying to connect CFL players,
Speaker 1: management coaches with the players coaches involved in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Tell us about the BC lines connection with the Patriots
Speaker 1: linebacker group.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, Jelanie Teva his younger brother, Jonah Tavai, the
Speaker 6: outstanding defensive tackle of the BC Lions, so Tavai Nation
Speaker 6: as they call it, six football playing brothers, and Jelani
Speaker 6: was quickly to point out that they do have a sister, Serena,
Speaker 6: who's an outstanding rugby player as well, so a very
Speaker 6: competitive family. We talked about, Hey, what was football like
Speaker 6: down at the park your kids? Right, So yeah, there's
Speaker 6: obviously that's probably one of the bigger connections.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: We talked to Cooper Cup about Vernon Adams. They played
Speaker 6: together at Eastern Washington. Vernon Adams junior was in Cooper
Speaker 6: Cup's wedding party, right, So those two guys are really tight.
Speaker 3: Donnie.
Speaker 6: You might remember Maurice Kelly of the Lions played here
Speaker 6: in the Pities and he's the senior VP of player
Speaker 6: affairs for the Seahawks, So you know, there's always some
Speaker 6: sort of connection. Chas Serrat the backup linebacker of the Seahawks.
Speaker 6: He was roommates with patrise Rene for three years at
Speaker 6: North Carolina, So you know, it's always like one degree
Speaker 6: of step finding guys, and you know, even walking around
Speaker 6: here today, I mean, Jeff Garcia is floating around. We're
Speaker 6: gonna try to track him down, Donnie. You remember we
Speaker 6: had Terrell Davis on and Westwood Platau when he came
Speaker 6: up for that charity tournament that we did, saw TD hopefully.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 6: The thing is when they have the handlers with them,
Speaker 6: if it was up to them, hey I'll come over
Speaker 6: in ten minutes. But the handlers are representing whatever they
Speaker 6: are promoting, and they have their strict schedule, so I
Speaker 6: don't know if we'll get them. But obviously talk to him,
Speaker 6: talk to Richard Sherman. He's floating around again, you know,
Speaker 6: trying to get him to pop by. So there's always
Speaker 6: a connection somehow, some way that you know you've made
Speaker 6: through the years with a lot of these players and celebs.
Speaker 6: So yeah, we just keep grinding away and see what happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, such a small world. What's what's on tap? Do
Speaker 1: you know what's on tap today? I know you've done
Speaker 1: several interviews.

Speaker 4: The connections will lose a good night.

Speaker 4: All you know had to do was ask, you know

Speaker 1: Yeah? I know.
Speaker 4: And you're a YouTube a Beatles guys. And yet Elvis
Speaker 4: beats the Beatles by.
Speaker 1: Ten Okay, how many songs did Elvis write?
Speaker 4: I don't care how many songs you wrote? All I
Speaker 4: know is when you listen to Elvis, that's the dividing
Speaker 4: line for me. Either you got the beautiful voice, you
Speaker 4: got the looks hips hips on the stage, nobody nobody
Speaker 4: moved their hips like Elvis. Uh, you've got the full
Speaker 4: meal deal with Elvis.
Speaker 5: And yet, although to your point, the Beatles do talk
Speaker 5: about how meeting Elvis was like a massive thing for
Speaker 5: them exactly.
Speaker 1: Well, of course he was in big influence. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you look at their look early on, yes, yeah, before
Speaker 1: Brian Epstein got a hold of what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Way apps That very
Speaker 1: elvis ish. Yeah, this just did. Elvis had a lot

Speaker 1: inch TV and Seahawks swag during the big game. Need
Speaker 1: to stock up on your favorite beverages before the game.
Speaker 1: Head to the Attack Liquor Store for a wide variety
Speaker 1: of beer, wine and spirits. Come sit and stay at
Speaker 1: the Dog today. My gosh, Vancouver Way Camps season just
Speaker 1: around the corner camp in Spain. Their lease expired with
Speaker 1: BC Place in December. My understanding is that that lease,
Speaker 1: it's the least that started in twenty twelve. Remember the
Speaker 1: twenty eleven season, or at least part of it fourteen
Speaker 1: years was at Empire Field, so it expired in December.
Speaker 1: Remember Don Garber coming to Vancouver in November to talk
Speaker 1: with government officials about the lease and I guess I
Speaker 1: can I use the word threatening a move by the
Speaker 1: white Caps, who again talked about it the first segment
Speaker 1: in the middle of a or near the end of
Speaker 1: just a tremendous season CONCERCAFF champions Cup Final, MLS Cup Final,
Speaker 1: Canadian Championship, just absolutely tremendous, gaining new fans I think
Speaker 1: left and right. And now there's this talk about this team, well,
Speaker 1: its future is up in the air, possibly move Allah
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies, which still hurts to this day. So the
Speaker 1: the issue at hand here, the issue in question here
Speaker 1: is the new lease and what's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: White Caps not happy with the old arrangement, which I'm
Speaker 1: guessing they signed off on, but uh, it was it's
Speaker 1: about consitting. This is my understanding. It's about food and
Speaker 1: beverage sales. They don't get enough in their in their opinion,
Speaker 1: from that parking, that sort of thing.
Speaker 4: Tax on tickets. Tax, the tax on tickets is another
Speaker 4: problem they have.
Speaker 1: So the government, the people who run BC government, the
Speaker 1: people who run PavCo, which operates a BC place. Uh,
Speaker 1: they've come up with a proposal for the white Caps.
Speaker 1: And I got to say, at first blush anyway. White
Speaker 1: Caps disagree, it sounds pretty good. M LA Ravi Klon
Speaker 1: explained that the provincial government has offered the white Caps
Speaker 1: a better deal again in their opinion, to stay at
Speaker 1: BC place. I think they've made it pretty clear they
Speaker 1: want the White campris to take. We've got the quote
Speaker 1: here right, yeah, from Ravi who's the Minister of Help
Speaker 1: me out here, Ryan, but I got this as the
Speaker 1: Minister of Okay, we'll we'll get his official title. Bottom line,
Speaker 1: MLA involved with the provincial government right now. PavCo makes sorry.
Speaker 5: Minister for Jobs and Economic Growth here's been appointed by
Speaker 5: David eb to handle this topic.
Speaker 4: Because he's actually not the.
Speaker 1: Very well spoken we's trying to get him on the show.
Speaker 5: He doesn't usually handle the PavCo situation, but he's been
Speaker 5: appointed for this.
Speaker 1: I can understand why. Right now PavCo makes approximately these
Speaker 1: are rabbies words, one point five million dollars a profit
Speaker 1: every single year from their contract that they've had with
Speaker 1: the white Cap since twenty twelve. Part of our package
Speaker 1: we presented to them the white Caps on Monday was
Speaker 1: that we will now be operating with zero profits. In fact,
Speaker 1: we're turning all those profits back to the white Caps
Speaker 1: and so PavCo will be operating at net zero. And
Speaker 1: from what I understand, there's nothing about food and beverage,
Speaker 1: nothing session and how that might be improved for the
Speaker 1: white Caps. But you look at this and you say
Speaker 1: to yourself, well, they're trying in a pretty significant.
Speaker 4: Hire Per said, this is like considering Axel Schuster came
Speaker 4: out earlier this week and said we're not much progress,
Speaker 4: and then the government comes out and say, hey, look
Speaker 4: at this. We threw these guys in all the branch
Speaker 4: and Donny, we're trying. We're trying, and this isn't good
Speaker 4: enough because Schuster has now said that this isn't going
Speaker 4: to keep them well, the white Caps long term.
Speaker 1: Here is what axelent Schuster, Yeah, white Caps Sporting director
Speaker 1: had to say in response to this offer by the
Speaker 1: provincial government. We've got that board there you go. Our
Speaker 1: gap between being top seven in attendance and the white
Speaker 1: Caps are top seven in attendance in Major League Soccer
Speaker 1: and last in revenue is so significant that this effort alone,
Speaker 1: the effort being the provincial government's offer zero profit, isn't
Speaker 1: the game changer that is needed for long term sustainability, you.
Speaker 4: Know, so they got to be they got to be
Speaker 4: careful here, the white Caps because Papco has got a
Speaker 4: responsibility to the taxpayers. Tax payers and you know what
Speaker 4: I think. You know, you look at the cost of
Speaker 4: living right now, Donnie, it's through the roof. And you know,
Speaker 4: they're helping out to the tune of one point five
Speaker 4: million for this soccer team. And the soccer team's basically saying,
Speaker 4: well that's not good enough. Well, you know, be careful,
Speaker 4: be careful. And in line with this, it's being.
Speaker 1: Reported that this deal would also apply to the BC Lions. Yes,
Speaker 1: a different situation with the Lions in that they don't
Speaker 1: have twenty thirty home dates there, you go fewer home
Speaker 1: the payroll is less, so there's a lot there. But
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people asking, when we brought
Speaker 1: this story up earlier this week and even last week, well,
Speaker 1: you know, if the white Caps get this deal, what
Speaker 1: about the Lions who have been around a lot longer
Speaker 1: than the white Caps, And it's being reported that they
Speaker 1: would get the same deal. Bad look for the white Caps, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 4: It is when the government says, you know what will
Speaker 4: help you out, We'll pitch in help you out. And look,
Speaker 4: it's not it's not the taxpayer's problem. The white Caps
Speaker 4: are having these issues. And then you have Hastings Park
Speaker 4: on the red tape there. The mayor's trying like heck
Speaker 4: in Vancouver to get that done for the white Caps
Speaker 4: and the Lions. If the Lions do choose to go
Speaker 4: down that route, that's not a quick solution that you know,
Speaker 4: Hastings Park is going to take forever. There's a ton
Speaker 4: of red tape. But the City of Vancouver should blame themselves.
Speaker 4: In two thousand and nine, Great Kirkfoot went to the
Speaker 4: city and said, downtown Vancouver all put up the money
Speaker 4: and they said no, they said no, So here we
Speaker 4: are what fifteen sixteen.
Speaker 1: Years later, Orda Thory got involved there. Still to this
Speaker 1: day and we've talked with Greg Criffett, I still don't
Speaker 1: understand exactly and I'm just not smart enough understand what
Speaker 1: happened there, because that seemed like a no brainer. A
Speaker 1: stadium in Vancouver on the waterfront, that's it.
Speaker 4: And he was going to buck up his own money
Speaker 4: and then the city said no. So these politicians, they
Speaker 4: they they stick there, you know, they get stuck in
Speaker 4: the mud. Themselves.
Speaker 1: It was more than just the city. There was, like
Speaker 1: I said, the different levels of government, but that seemed
Speaker 1: like a bra that that's in the past and for
Speaker 1: what's in front of them right now. I mean, I
Speaker 1: would imagine, given the situation on the Peeny grounds, that
Speaker 1: this would be a relatively short term agreement. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: how long would it take to build a stadium years
Speaker 1: to the year, three four years if they started tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So but but relatively speaking, fairly short term. So it
Speaker 1: seems like we have to get somebody on the show
Speaker 1: here that the white Caps would want a better deal.
Speaker 1: When it comes to concession and food. They get a
Speaker 1: small percentage right now, Obviously they'd want more than that.
Speaker 1: Either that or they're making it clear that this just
Speaker 1: is not going to work, no matter, no matter within reason,
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, you know. I mean, here's what
Speaker 1: they could raise ticket prices in an extremely significant way.
Speaker 1: That's not going to do. That's not going to go
Speaker 1: over well and Doddie, they're.
Speaker 4: Stuck where they're going to go. No one's buying the team,
Speaker 4: No one's buying the team.
Speaker 1: Up for sale. Last December, it was so strange because
Speaker 1: the news went from so bad, so negative, just so
Speaker 1: positive in such a short period of time, exactly mostly
Speaker 1: because of what was going on on the pitch. It
Speaker 1: was very, very impressive. And then a lot of people
Speaker 1: were getting this in our base side inboxes like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're having all these troubles, you don't like your deal,
Speaker 1: your lease is expiring, there's this news of the team
Speaker 1: being up for sale, and the lease is experient. They
Speaker 1: went out and signed Thomas Mueller, Thomas Muller International Superstar
Speaker 1: and that move worked out really really well. But why
Speaker 1: do that if if if you're thinking of exactly jumping
Speaker 1: ship and Tony, here's another one for you.
Speaker 4: I don't want to get negative on the white Caps,
Speaker 4: but if you're losing money and tons of it, why
Speaker 4: the hell are you holding training camp in Spain? Like
Speaker 4: you know, Camels is available, Camloops, Kelowna, Whistler, you could,
Speaker 4: you could well, I know people don't want to hear this,
Speaker 4: but it is closer doing business down to the States.
Speaker 1: What about Arizona, California.
Speaker 4: Or whatever, which they've done before, they've done they've done
Speaker 4: Arizona before the white Caps, But why.
Speaker 5: The I think a lot of it comes down to
Speaker 5: also preseason competition and getting teams to play.
Speaker 1: You see that first preseason I had to do with
Speaker 1: good weather. That wasn't happening.
Speaker 4: No, here's a team from Mexico here in Langley tonight,
Speaker 4: So don't give me that. But that's a game though, Okay,
Speaker 4: I understand that. But why you guys in Spain, if
Speaker 4: you guys are losing tons of money?
Speaker 5: It's interesting like this last twenty four hours. I feel
Speaker 5: like it's flip the combo because I.
Speaker 1: Feel like conversation. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, When we came in it was Path goes the
Speaker 5: Big bad On Monday, Path goes the big bad Enemy.
Speaker 4: What are they doing? It feels like they're pushing them
Speaker 4: out all of this.
Speaker 5: Now they're saying like we're kind of doing all we
Speaker 5: can do for you, and the white Caps are still
Speaker 5: basically saying that the building and the setup doesn't match
Speaker 5: their budget.
Speaker 1: It sounds like this decision was made before we heard
Speaker 1: all of that right yesterday.
Speaker 5: So has all of this been a dog and pony
Speaker 5: show the MoU This whole Hastings thing, right?
Speaker 4: Is that even?
Speaker 3: Does it?
Speaker 4: Even? Like like I just don't like to hear straight
Speaker 4: up from the white Caps side.
Speaker 1: Of what we did what No, but what do you
Speaker 1: need like you need? Like, is it you need a
Speaker 1: bag of money and somebody building you a stadium? Do
Speaker 1: you The problem with that is that it's us providing
Speaker 1: the bag of money.
Speaker 5: Right, Well, no, unless it was an owner that came
Speaker 5: in and said they were building a stadium, right.
Speaker 1: Or are somebody else coming in to partner with Greg
Speaker 1: you foot?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but again even then in that accident that that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that the deal is going to be to
Speaker 1: their to their liking.
Speaker 5: When every according to Axel, everybody that has been interested
Speaker 5: in the white Caps has basically tooken one, taken one
Speaker 5: look at the books and said this makes no senseime out.
Speaker 1: Well, it was also being reported that they're losing between
Speaker 1: ten and fifteen million dollars a year. Having said that,
Speaker 1: it's much like the Canuck situation. Their franchise value has gone.
Speaker 4: Up, Yeah, three four hundred million? Is it over four
Speaker 4: hundred now the white Caps? I think it's four.
Speaker 1: Hundred for a lot of people. Surprisingly high.
Speaker 4: You can't sit there and put a gun to the
Speaker 4: taxpayer's head when your franchise is worth four hundred million,
Speaker 4: Like I I.
Speaker 1: Just don't know, Like how did this get so bad?
Speaker 1: Is it purely because they don't look good here? The
Speaker 1: white Caps? Well, it's purely.
Speaker 5: Because the white Caps payroll because when they came into
Speaker 5: the MLS, it was a smaller league, smaller everything, and
Speaker 5: now MLS has kind of done this with some player
Speaker 5: salaries and everything. And so is that what it is
Speaker 5: that that that payroll has gone like this and the
Speaker 5: MAX benefits the revenue from the bottom line is revenue? Right, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's not there, But why is it not growing a
Speaker 5: BC place? I like a million and a half dollars
Speaker 5: in profit? Like that even confuses me, Like why are
Speaker 5: they making so little off.
Speaker 1: The white Caps? Okay, here's the other thing to it.
Speaker 1: The least just expired, right, it's done. Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: was a bad least in twenty twelve, Like, yeah, you
Speaker 1: made that. You made that mistake. If clearly you feel
Speaker 1: it's a mistake. If this Don Garber used the word
Speaker 1: back in November untenable, You can't.
Speaker 4: It's just but it's become that way. Yeah, sure because
Speaker 4: of the payroll guy, that's what I mean, right, it
Speaker 4: spent It was a bad deal.
Speaker 1: When I'm guessing they were bringing in less revenue. Well,
Speaker 1: through ticket sale and merchandise and stuff back back in
Speaker 1: twenty twelve.
Speaker 4: But the gap wasn't as big. But they signed fifteen years.
Speaker 4: Why signing a fifteen year least?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why? Why? But even this apparently sounds like Loongo's contract.
Speaker 1: That's your fault for signing for fifteen years. But that's
Speaker 1: in the past, so you move forward. And it just
Speaker 1: seems to me that like this is from the outside
Speaker 1: looking at they're greasing the skids for a move somewhere else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what it looks like.
Speaker 4: So let me ask you, guys, because you were around,
Speaker 4: I wasn't.
Speaker 5: When was the first inkling about the Grizzlies that they
Speaker 5: were going to be out and and when was it gone?
Speaker 1: Because Lauri from Saint Louis, the Walmart people came in
Speaker 1: like so.
Speaker 4: We're staring down like potentially it had two years.
Speaker 1: And then then in came Michael Highley sang the national anthem,
Speaker 1: and then they win.
Speaker 4: Grizzlies were different. They were just flat out losing.
Speaker 1: Keeprizzlies last of six seasons. The crowd was paveerd. I
Speaker 1: still miss those games. I wish I wish it. The
Speaker 1: thing is with the Grizzlies verse is the white Caps.
Speaker 1: We're talking about this. I know we're short on time
Speaker 1: here now, but we're talking about this in the wake
Speaker 1: of a very successful season that I believe, and again
Speaker 1: I'm just going by, you know, my own stories. Like
Speaker 1: the people around me. They gained a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: new fans. The Grizzlies never won. I would have loved
Speaker 1: to see the situation in Vancouver and with the NBA,
Speaker 1: with a team that actually did something significant winning wise
Speaker 1: on the court. We never saw that. Out they go
Speaker 1: after six seasons. We never saw that. And David Stern,
Speaker 1: the layed Great David Stern said one of the big
Speaker 1: one of his big regrets was the way Vancouver was handled,
Speaker 1: like not having it they would have Tim Duncan here,
Speaker 1: never having a number one overall draft pick that they
Speaker 1: weren't allowed to. Got hurt that they weren't allowed to
Speaker 1: as an expansion franchise. Now you could say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: well Toronto had the same difficulties. Toronto's a much bigger
Speaker 1: market than Vancouver, and he said it was an easier
Speaker 1: go in Toronto.
Speaker 5: It's just sad, like a rich history of soccer that's
Speaker 5: gonna end. Really, you can't really don't know that.
Speaker 4: You're you're guessing. I mean they could solve this.
Speaker 1: How well, Okay, it doesn't look like it right now.
Speaker 4: Like the white Caps said, like this, this doesn't do anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's one and a half million dollars long term,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. But you know what it looks like to
Speaker 1: the average person who may be renting out there. Their
Speaker 1: landlord has said to them, hey, you don't worry about
Speaker 1: the rent. We're good. Yeah, I still don't like it.
Speaker 1: That's what it looks like the average person. Now again,
Speaker 1: there's other layers to this, I'm sure, but if everybody's
Speaker 1: for a better deal, but I think for the average person,
Speaker 1: and we've all paid rent, right well, even not you
Speaker 1: you grow ah, stop it, are you kidding? But we've
Speaker 1: all paid rent. Can you imagine that situation? Absolutely? This
Speaker 1: is I've won the lottery.
Speaker 4: White Caps don't look good here, and the government's got
Speaker 4: to keep an eye out for the taxpayers. You know what,
Speaker 4: they got their hand out right now, the white Caps,
Speaker 4: and they just.
Speaker 1: Want more and more and more and more, big hand.
Speaker 4: And you know what, you got private owners who make
Speaker 4: a ton of money their businesses, right you know, this
Speaker 4: is a private enterprise.
Speaker 1: You're on your own.
Speaker 4: Ninety percent of the rest of the people who own
Speaker 4: businesses are on their own. They're not getting handouts like
Speaker 4: you guys want. White Caps don't look good right now.
Speaker 1: I agree with Ryan too. It's just the flip is
Speaker 1: so quick. Like in terms of this week alone, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the poll results were I was doing.
Speaker 1: I don't think we showed the poll. We didn't.
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Well, let's do that in another segment because we're r
Speaker 1: ount of time here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe next cutting into your segment, Yeah, why didn't
Speaker 4: we show the poll because you talked about the statements first. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we didn't know.
Speaker 1: You know why, because we've lost Elvis. Elvis, Elvis Presley,
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time. We'll do that in a
Speaker 1: future segment, maybe the next one. Big rye the Twitter

Speaker 1: mind Wattling Dog poll question, head to the Wattling Dog
Speaker 1: Pub for the Big Game this Sunday. Come sit and
Speaker 1: stay at the Dog today, Rick.
Speaker 4: Ryan got her up the Waddling Dog pull question. Who
Speaker 4: do you side with in the white Caps BC place negotiations?
Speaker 4: Four hundred and eighty three votes, Fifty eight percent say
Speaker 4: the white Caps spot not far behind BC place and
Speaker 4: PavCo at forty two percent. So, you know what, good
Speaker 4: good on the people voting for BC place. You're dealing
Speaker 4: with tac It is awfully tough nowadays, Donny. We talk
Speaker 4: about the grocery prices all the time. It's ridiculous. One
Speaker 4: bag of groceries just sixty seventy bucks. You know what,
Speaker 4: I don't think a lot of people have an appetite
Speaker 4: to be forking over money to a guy who's worth
Speaker 4: millions and owns of soccer.
Speaker 1: And he had fifty eight percent of the people say
Speaker 1: this goes against what I thought the poll results would be. Rick,
Speaker 1: So fifty eight percent saying the White Camp's forty two
Speaker 1: BC place, PavCo stay tuned. This story is not going
Speaker 1: to go away for a long time.
Speaker 3: Rick.
Speaker 5: All right, you just mentioned something in the last segment too. Rick,
Speaker 5: there's a lot of people in this market screaming about
Speaker 5: Francesco Acqui. They need talking to the media because of
Speaker 5: what's happening with the hockey team. It's about time the
Speaker 5: white Caps owners step up to the mic too.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 5: Well, Kerkfurt's never done anything, you know, Like Axel is
Speaker 5: a very good talker and he speaks on behalf of
Speaker 5: the club and all that.
Speaker 1: But look at we're on the verge of that leaving.
Speaker 1: You and I disagree on this.
Speaker 5: But Donny, they're on the Virgini of leaving. There's people
Speaker 5: that are assuming that this club is leaving.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: If an owners ever are gonna talk, this is the
Speaker 5: time to talk and pick one of them. The Nash
Speaker 5: is involved, Curfits involved, Mallet's involved, Nash barely spends any
Speaker 5: time here.
Speaker 1: He's a rumor. But that keep in mind the way
Speaker 1: you're forgetting is that could make things worse. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: is not He's not comfortable in front of the camera
Speaker 1: from what I understand, and as you know, I know
Speaker 1: him somewhat and Francesco Aquiline. I'm not trying to defend them,
Speaker 1: same thing. I mean, it's no, it's but but when
Speaker 1: you're it could it could make things absolutely not every
Speaker 1: owner's life. Not every owner is Amar Doman, who's sure credible.
Speaker 1: People are successful business people. I'm sorry somebody though, you're right,
Speaker 1: or somebody I mean.
Speaker 5: You're like again, we're people are assuming your team is
Speaker 5: leaving within the next year or two.
Speaker 1: Or here's the other thing. I mean, maybe it's done.
Speaker 4: Do they're not gonna it starts here. They got to
Speaker 4: come back from Spain. That's the other thing. Like, yeah,
Speaker 4: but there's I mean the other thing too.
Speaker 1: I know we talked about this in the previous segment,
Speaker 1: but from my experience, and this happened with the Grizzlies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: once you get a with a with just the slightest
Speaker 1: scent that a team is going to move, it happens
Speaker 1: smoke fire. Yeah, and and even if that isn't the case,
Speaker 1: what's that going to do to their numbers going into
Speaker 1: this so this season?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you said it, like, if you're a
Speaker 5: season ticket over, that's one thing because a lot of
Speaker 5: the money, probably for the most part's gone. But if
Speaker 5: you're a casual fan, but I mean, despite wanting to
Speaker 5: go see Mueller, and if they have another great year,
Speaker 5: why are you going to give your hard earned money
Speaker 5: over to a franchise that again, we might be a
Speaker 5: year up from them going.
Speaker 1: There's a plan to leave.
Speaker 4: Don't they get four or five million a year from Apple?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean yeah, okay, a lot of people wondering
Speaker 1: about the TV deal too.
Speaker 4: The TV deal. I do believe they get a ton
Speaker 4: of money from Apple, So like what's their like, why
Speaker 4: are they losing so much money?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: But okay, we we argue about this all the time
Speaker 5: because I say, look at the Canucks. They're getting TV
Speaker 5: money and what do they do? They jacked the prices
Speaker 5: on the fans. Here a Canucks.
Speaker 4: Salary cap numbers are nowhere near the white cap salary.
Speaker 4: You're different universes. I mean, I mean Canucks are up
Speaker 4: to eighty eighty five, they're going to be over one
Speaker 4: hundred million in cap right, white Caps aren't at one
Speaker 4: hundred million.
Speaker 1: There's not even the clothes they did buck up for.
Speaker 4: Muer I mean, you're kay, Well after they let what's
Speaker 4: his name going.
Speaker 1: Understanding Alfonso Davies and the money they got for going
Speaker 1: to Byron Munich was used to pay off debt.
Speaker 4: Well, they've been horrible for so many years. They have
Speaker 4: a good year now, one good year after so many
Speaker 4: horrible and now they're acting like, you know, you know, give.
Speaker 3: Us the start.
Speaker 1: Frustrating point for the hardcore soccer fans is that so
Speaker 1: many people who weren't necessarily hardcore soccer fans got it.
Speaker 1: They got the attraction this year and then then and
Speaker 1: I realize this talk goes back to last year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it seemed like, for a brief moment there at
Speaker 1: least that Okay, everything's gonna be okay. And now this
Speaker 1: story breaks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and why can't this city come up with a
Speaker 4: twenty five to thirty thousand seats? Hamilton take a long
Speaker 4: time that Donnie, Donnie, Hamilton's got one, Winnipeg's got one,
Speaker 4: Saskatchewan's got one. Yeah, but to Donney's point, that's still okay.
Speaker 4: Land is cheaper. Land is cheaper in those provinces. Let's
Speaker 4: call a spades BA. But my goodness, we're talking about
Speaker 4: Vancouver and you can't even put twenty five to thirty
Speaker 4: thousand seat facility.
Speaker 1: Curfoot wanted too.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well again, that's in the past. Now let's let's
Speaker 7: move forward. You gotta break, we gotta break. There's a massive,
Speaker 7: not a massive. There's an interesting NBA trade. Maybe we'll
Speaker 7: get to that later. A lot of inbox very quickly says,
Speaker 7: give us the trade.
Speaker 5: This is unbelievable. Anthony Davis being traded out of Dallas. Guys,
Speaker 5: the Dallas Mavericks are trading Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell,
Speaker 5: Dante Aximpt to the Washington Wizards for a package of players.
Speaker 5: But it's interesting because we literally just passed the one
Speaker 5: year anniversary of the Luca trade from from the from
Speaker 5: the MAVs to the Lakers. Rick Is is so excited
Speaker 5: about this conversation.
Speaker 4: Nam you're one guy out of all I know Anthony
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis, but I don't know what Chris Middleton, you.
Speaker 1: Branham Dante X, Marvin Bagley. Okay, I don't know if
Speaker 1: his guys come on.
Speaker 5: It's just interesting, massive trade. And now that guy's gone immediately.
Speaker 1: Because I day minute one. Everybody, this was a best deal. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, what the heck are you doing? Of course
Speaker 1: that GM is now gone.
Speaker 4: Ye uh, As I mentioned, we're way over time. Shannon's
Speaker 4: next to Tony Dolly the team I check.
Speaker 1: Hey everyone, it's Donnie and Dolly and we're looking to
Speaker 1: partner with your company.

Speaker 1: checkmedia dot CA. Wednesday and all of our guests today,
Speaker 1: including John Shannon, standing by and sponsored by the BC
Speaker 1: Construction Safety Alliance. The BCCSA provides services to more than
Speaker 1: fifty seven thousand construction companies throughout BC. BC Construction Safety
Speaker 1: Alliance celebrating twenty five years making safety simple. How's that
Speaker 1: phone going there?
Speaker 3: Rick?
Speaker 6: Good?
Speaker 1: Hey? Any remember drome Aginla? All right, you're kind of
Speaker 1: paying attention like I'm always.
Speaker 4: Looking about that could have gone so much worse.
Speaker 1: Oh so big time. John Shannon joining us now from
Speaker 1: the one hundred percent Hockey Podcast and one hundred percent Connections.
Speaker 1: If something like that has never happened to John, how
Speaker 1: are you, Sarah?
Speaker 8: I can't believe that. I just can't believe that we've
Speaker 8: all I mean, you know, just make sure that those
Speaker 8: bookmarks are the right bookmarks, that's all.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Like, like Ryan says, that could have been
Speaker 1: much worse. You were You heard our discussion about the
Speaker 1: white Caps and and BC place. You're a BC kid, John,
Speaker 1: That's a It would be just a shame if the
Speaker 1: white Caps left this uh left this city again again?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know it would be And you know, but
Speaker 8: the harsh reality of this is mister Kurkfoot's in the
Speaker 8: business of making money, and at a certain point, the
Speaker 8: money that he spent in getting the franchise back to Vancouver,
Speaker 8: the value of a franchise is how much larger?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 8: How much bigger? You know that you know owners, As
Speaker 8: much as we all love to think that owners want
Speaker 8: the same things that fans do, some some owners, a
Speaker 8: lot of owners have different agendas and it's called ROI
Speaker 8: return on investment. So at a certain point you have
Speaker 8: to look and say, am I doing the right thing
Speaker 8: for my franchise if you're the owner, or am I
Speaker 8: doing the right thing for my pocketbook? Yeah, it's a
Speaker 8: tough it's a tough one.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: You guys are all right. It would be great that
Speaker 8: you know that there would be a nice twenty five
Speaker 8: thousand seat stadium in the city. It would be great.
Speaker 8: But let's also remember that, you know, what they built
Speaker 8: in Regina cost a lot of people in the city
Speaker 8: thousands of dollars that wasn't paid for by the province.
Speaker 8: You know, the Hamilton Stadium was built for the Pan
Speaker 8: American Games. They got one hundred and sixty five million
Speaker 8: dollars to do that. You know, Winnipeg, you know, got
Speaker 8: some assists stins. So there's a there's there's a lot
Speaker 8: of things in play here. But if you do it
Speaker 8: for the white Caps, where do you draw the line?
Speaker 8: And it's and it's not just as simple as well,
Speaker 8: it's it's the stadium. And so the Lions get the
Speaker 8: same deal, which you know we were told that they would.
Speaker 8: But why not help the Prince George Cougars, why not
Speaker 8: help the Kelowna Rockets. Why not help the Kamloops Blazers
Speaker 8: Victoria Royals. Where do where do you draw the line
Speaker 8: when you help one one professional sports team over another.
Speaker 8: That's that's the see that's the fairness doctor. And in
Speaker 8: US Canadians that we do that. That doesn't happen in
Speaker 8: the United States, where jurisdictions say we're going to tax
Speaker 8: everybody for rental cars, hotel rooms, you know, you know,
Speaker 8: bald tires on your car. Uh, and then we're going
Speaker 8: to put that towards the new stadium. And it's different
Speaker 8: in our country.
Speaker 1: They just moved so quickly down there. In comparison, John NHL, up,
Speaker 1: if you don't mind, we'll take a turn here. Sam
Speaker 1: Bennett replacing Anthony Sirelly for Team Canada. Does that make sense? Oh?
Speaker 8: Sure it does. You know a lot of people would
Speaker 8: have said Sam Bennett should have been ahead of Anthony
Speaker 8: before the original roster was submitted on December thirty. First,
Speaker 8: you do have to feel bad for Sarelli, who was
Speaker 8: a good member of the Four Nations team, has been
Speaker 8: a great member for John Cooper's team in Tampa. But
Speaker 8: for him to have his shoulder issue in not being
Speaker 8: able to play that. That's a that would really hurt.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 8: You have to wonder at some point, will Hockey Canada
Speaker 8: if they get to the medal round bring Anthony over
Speaker 8: just to be an observer, to enjoy the time, you know,
Speaker 8: and and for what he's gone through and all the
Speaker 8: orientation he did. But that said, Sam Bennett has been
Speaker 8: a one of the best players in the National Hockey
Speaker 8: League for the last two years, in the playoffs in
Speaker 8: four nations, so it does make a ton of sense.
Speaker 4: John Philipel h he's battling migraines right now. Came back
Speaker 4: from the concussion, lasted just six games. This this one's
Speaker 4: We've had Furlan Poolman, We've had Bear sheeen in the
Speaker 4: last ten years. Guys with concussions. What would you best
Speaker 4: advise Philipeedal to do, John.
Speaker 8: Well, I haven't seen any of the diagnosis, but you
Speaker 8: have to do what's right for your body, for your future,
Speaker 8: you know, you know, you know, we all look at
Speaker 8: hockey players and think that they're invincible. Any athlete think
Speaker 8: they're invincible. They think they're invincible, and then at the
Speaker 8: age of thirty seven, when their body starts to break
Speaker 8: down and you realize at the age of fifty that
Speaker 8: you have to have you know, both hips replaced in
Speaker 8: a knee replacement and and by the way, you can't
Speaker 8: have a brain replacement. You have to do what's right
Speaker 8: for the for you the rest of your life. And
Speaker 8: it's unfortunate. Philip Heedel is one of the you guys
Speaker 8: know him. He's one of the most likable, approachable guys
Speaker 8: this team has. Loves to play the game. Thought he
Speaker 8: has resolved this issue with his off season workout last
Speaker 8: year at home working with his brother, improving and strengthening
Speaker 8: all of his neck muscles. But it just has not worked.
Speaker 8: And so you do have to think that at a
Speaker 8: certain point, sooner than later, that retirement has to be
Speaker 8: a discussion factor, you know, and and do what's better
Speaker 8: for his his new wife and for whatever his family,
Speaker 8: his mum and dad and his brother and his own kids.
Speaker 8: It's at a certain point will mean to him. That's
Speaker 8: it's it's really unfortunate.
Speaker 4: A few weeks ago, I ripped the outdoor game in Miami.
Speaker 4: I said it was absolutely horrendous, and then over the
Speaker 4: weekend at Tampa Bay was absolutely great. How could two
Speaker 4: outdoor games take place in the same state and be
Speaker 4: one be so awful and once be so great.
Speaker 8: Well, you see, but you're a purist Rick and uh
Speaker 8: you you actually want the games to be competitive. The
Speaker 8: Ranger game against the Panthers was not competitive. The Ranger game,
Speaker 8: what was it? Six to one? Was the final, So
Speaker 8: you know, the game in Tampa was on the precipice
Speaker 8: of being a dog too, five to one, but right,
Speaker 8: and then you know, and then then you know, we
Speaker 8: get Jeremy Swayman and andre Vassilevski, we get the the
Speaker 8: lightning with seven consecutive power plays, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 8: we're talking about one of the greatest games in outdoor
Speaker 8: history because the second half of the game was had
Speaker 8: a great comeback. And and by the way, and you're
Speaker 8: gonna laugh at me, outdoor games are much more entertaining
Speaker 8: when the home team wins.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, people don't.
Speaker 8: People don't lament Well, I I sat there in thirty
Speaker 8: nine fahrenheit degrees and froze my butt off and we
Speaker 8: didn't even win the game.
Speaker 1: Well you know what, they didn't.
Speaker 8: You froze your butt off still, but you won the
Speaker 8: game if you were a Tampa fan, And that made
Speaker 8: it more exciting. And just to see Mark Messier wear
Speaker 8: a pirate outfit that you know, that was that was
Speaker 8: pretty exciting.
Speaker 1: And PK, hey, very quickly, John, p K.
Speaker 8: Hold on, hold on, hold on, Donnie, p K looks
Speaker 8: like that all the time.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 8: Yeah, PK, PK's dress code. But to see to see
Speaker 8: Mark wear an eye patch, I mean, seriously, come.
Speaker 1: On, didn't you have one on when he played with
Speaker 1: the Canucks?
Speaker 8: Hey, someone say he had some would say he had
Speaker 8: a patch on both eyes.
Speaker 1: There, okay? Quickly, Rick talked in Philadelphia and Mitchkoff, do
Speaker 1: you agree with the criticism being leveled being the Rick
Speaker 1: toocket is being hit with in Philly?
Speaker 8: No, Rick, What what it does do is it justifies
Speaker 8: everything John Tartarella said and did with with beach goof too.
Speaker 8: This is this, This is not new about Meatchkoff. You know,
Speaker 8: he's he's got tremendous talent. But you know, you better
Speaker 8: come to camp in shape, and you better play the
Speaker 8: team game. And if you don't do that, then you
Speaker 8: don't belong in the.
Speaker 1: National hockey team.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, and and you know this, and Rick
Speaker 8: wants to win, and I mean, I'm I'm a I'm
Speaker 8: a Rick supporter, so but Rick wants to win, and
Speaker 8: he wants to win now, even though the team Danny
Speaker 8: Brereer and Keith Jones are saying, we can afford to
Speaker 8: be patient and build something here for you know, for
Speaker 8: a decade. But to me, this is on Meatchkoff and
Speaker 8: if and you know, but here's the thing. Look at
Speaker 8: all the great Russians that have come over Capriceov spectacular
Speaker 8: off in Montreal.
Speaker 1: Just wonderful.
Speaker 8: You know what a talent. Mish Coff looks and appears
Speaker 8: to be a bit of the dud at this point,
Speaker 8: even though you can see the talent from a mile away.
Speaker 8: But I can only imagine after listening to Rick talk.
Speaker 8: You know, John Torrella is at his farm in Connecticut
Speaker 8: putting his hand up and saying, see I told you sir.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, John, thanks for this one. And by
Speaker 1: the way, the viewers of this show and on a
Speaker 1: regular basis, upset that you informed them brain replacements aren't possible. John,
Speaker 1: thanks for this well.
Speaker 8: Actually, at Rick, Rick was trying to find that on
Speaker 8: his phone using Google.
Speaker 3: That's what that was.
Speaker 4: I've already googled that.
Speaker 1: Thanks John. Next week, Cheers boys, you bet. John Shannon
Speaker 1: one Percent Hockey Podcast. I think he has Bill Daily
Speaker 1: on this week, so that should be interesting. Okay, we're

Speaker 1: of our guests today has mentioned earlier and all of
Speaker 1: our guests, including Christian del Bianco of the Warriors standing
Speaker 1: by sponsored by the BC Construction Safety Alliance Warriors. Vancouver
Speaker 1: Warriors take on Rochester Saturday at Rogers Arena. It's Wrestling
Speaker 1: Night Rick They beat the Nighthawks sixteen to six last
Speaker 1: weekend in Rochester. The Warriors are now five and two
Speaker 1: and joining us now star Vancouver Warriors goaltender the Pride
Speaker 1: of Coquitlam, Christian del Bianco. Christian, thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 1: How are you noorriers?
Speaker 9: Thanks?
Speaker 8: Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 1: Guys appreciate it, no problem. What goes on during a
Speaker 1: National Lacross League wrestling night? Do you have any idea? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have no idea.
Speaker 9: I can't say I've been a part of one yet,
Speaker 9: but I'm sure the fans will like a lot of
Speaker 9: those side stuff, and I think more importantly it's fun
Speaker 9: for the young family and kids that come home.
Speaker 1: Now I got to correct you, Christian, I think you
Speaker 1: were part of a wrestling night last weekend in Rochester.
Speaker 1: For people who didn't see this last weekend in Rochester,
Speaker 1: huge brawl, your long bomb past to Steph Sharpen. Oh,
Speaker 1: he gets crushed by Rochester goaltender Ryland Hartley, brawl breaks out,
Speaker 1: get involved. What was your take on this situation and
Speaker 1: what can we expect on the weekend when you play
Speaker 1: the same team.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I think it's just an unfortunate play
Speaker 9: that a lot of us feel that maybe isn't really
Speaker 9: a part of our game. But I'm proud and happy
Speaker 9: kind of how our team stepped up, right, especially a
Speaker 9: guy like Ryan Dilkes, just kind of showing the team
Speaker 9: tough and handling it. But first priority on Saturday is
Speaker 9: winning all lacrosse game. The settling scores and all that stuff.
Speaker 9: I think, especially if you're going to go out in
Speaker 9: media and talk about that stuff and kind of posture,
Speaker 9: it's fake tough. I think we kind of showed that
Speaker 9: as a team, we're willing to handle stuff if we
Speaker 9: need to.
Speaker 1: I tell you right now, Kduck fans are loving hearing this, Kristin.
Speaker 1: They'd like to hear more of it from the NHL team.
Speaker 1: Hey five and two so far, what are the reasons
Speaker 1: for your team's success?
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's a lot, right, it's building. I think you
Speaker 9: kind of see how good our league is nowadays and
Speaker 9: just kind of the parody throughout. But it just taking
Speaker 9: it one game at a time and understanding that every
Speaker 9: games must win. You don't really have that luxury of
Speaker 9: taking nights off or having these lapses of playing a
Speaker 9: bad fifteen minutes. You have to play full sixty minutes
Speaker 9: and as a team, I think we've been able to
Speaker 9: do that more often than not.
Speaker 4: You know, the goals against the third best in the league.
Speaker 4: You're a huge part of that. But how much is
Speaker 4: that commitment to defense been this year?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's huge, Right. We have a veteran group that
Speaker 9: they just do so many things well, so many different
Speaker 9: skill sets. Some bigger defenders that obviously block the middle
Speaker 9: and kind of make it hard to get to the
Speaker 9: front of the net. And then we have some fast
Speaker 9: guys that can stretch the floor and also just pressure
Speaker 9: people laden clocks. So as a team, I think we've
Speaker 9: really played well off of each other and it shows
Speaker 9: just kind of as a defense the different ways that
Speaker 9: we can defend different styles of offensive players.
Speaker 4: As we saw in the first highlight long ball passer,
Speaker 4: you're one of the best in the league. Well, what
Speaker 4: are some of the keys to that?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just I think part of its personnel, having
Speaker 9: the guys to get down the floor, letticism there, but
Speaker 9: also the coaching, right, like there has to be a
Speaker 9: level of trust between me and me and Mouse our
Speaker 9: coach Kurt that I can make those passes and know
Speaker 9: when to reel it in when we need to just
Speaker 9: possess the ball, So it's a fun part of the game,
Speaker 9: but it definitely takes some time to feel out when
Speaker 9: to push in when to hold it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you recently registered your one hundredth career National Lacrosse
Speaker 1: League assistant very quickly. We saw some highlights there for
Speaker 1: people who don't know number forty five Kegan Ball. What
Speaker 1: a player two goals and eleven assists last weekend in Rochester.
Speaker 1: What does he mean to your team? Christian?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think he's one of those guys that not
Speaker 9: only what he does on the floor he leads by,
Speaker 9: but just kind of off the floor, the way he prepares,
Speaker 9: like the vocal stuff, all of that. He kind of
Speaker 9: he checks every box for a star player in what
Speaker 9: you want out of a player in our league. And
Speaker 9: I think he's been there for some of the bad

Speaker 4: the best uniforms. I this is Dwight and Chilliwack.

Speaker 1: I grew up with was Joe Capp. Joe Capp formerc Lions,
Speaker 1: I grew up. He was there for two three years
Speaker 1: but had gone to a Super Bowl that they lost
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs Jeeves from Surrey.
Speaker 6: Is it just me?
Speaker 1: But Rick thinks there should be a thirty for thirty
Speaker 1: about Tom's video.
Speaker 4: Stop with the Toms video. I accidentally said Tom's video.
Speaker 4: I don't think I don't know Tom's video. I accidentally
Speaker 4: I said it in Tom, Dick and Harry. Could have
Speaker 4: been any It could have been anyone's name.
Speaker 1: Well, Dick's video would probably be about the same.
Speaker 4: Could have been Dick's video, could have been Tom, Dick
Speaker 4: and Harry. I look, bottom line, I don't know anything
Speaker 4: about Tom's video rock and roll, all right?
Speaker 5: Is it just me?
Speaker 3: But they.
Speaker 1: Dolly Walls and his birthday clues are so lame?
Speaker 4: Three Putt Shaine. I put a lot of time into
Speaker 4: those birthday clues. Down you and you know that they
Speaker 4: take time.
Speaker 1: And here's three Putt Shaine ripping my clues. You know what.
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of hours on those birthday clues.
Speaker 1: I know you work krd mark and kloonna.
Speaker 3: Is it just me?
Speaker 1: But why why doesn't BC Place sign a building sponsorship
Speaker 1: deal to gain revenue and then pass on concessions at
Speaker 1: parking to the white Caps slash Lions. I think he's
Speaker 1: talking about naming rights for the for the stadium, which
Speaker 1: they had to deal with tell Us, But the bell
Speaker 1: sponsorship for the white Caps got on the way and
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a mystery. It just seems to be.
Speaker 1: It seems to be well, three putt, Shane. It seems
Speaker 1: to be a gimme yeah, right.
Speaker 4: Yep, three put Shane. I've missed three from three feet out.
Speaker 4: You've seen me do. That is the white Caps revenue
Speaker 4: problem related to poor Brad, revenue, RP and White Rock.
Speaker 4: Good question, Donny. I'm not hearing that. I'm hearing the
Speaker 4: revenue from Apple is high, like it's a significant number.
Speaker 4: I'm not hearing that they have revenue problems with the
Speaker 4: money coming in. I think they get four to five
Speaker 4: million a year from Apple.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good, right, And I think a lot of
Speaker 1: the submissions we're getting have to do with the one
Speaker 1: million dollar profit or the one and a half million
Speaker 1: dollar profit for BC Place per season from the white Caps.
Speaker 1: They feel it should be more Craig and vander who
Speaker 1: visits me or doesn't these cities slash problems owe it
Speaker 1: to taxpayers to keep BC place occupied? What would it
Speaker 1: cost taxpayers to maintain an empty stadium if the white
Speaker 1: Caps and Lions were to leave? The government has said
Speaker 1: that they would be able to fill those dates at
Speaker 1: least if the white Caps left. Yeah, and how do
Speaker 1: you keep in mind the Lions are there? What not
Speaker 1: nine times?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: But the Lions only play nine and then if they
Speaker 4: got let's give them two points, James Max, you know,
Speaker 4: and that's it?
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 4: Or do the white Caps really want to be here anymore?
Speaker 4: Their CEO is response to the government's assistant, sounded bleak.
Speaker 4: Sounds like they're looking to go south or a free
Speaker 4: stadium build, you know. And that's Bobby and Poco and those.
Speaker 4: There's been whispers of that for a while now, going
Speaker 4: back to last Christmas, not this past Christmas, the Christmas
Speaker 4: before that, twenty twenty four team up for sale?
Speaker 1: What would what did that? What would that mean? But
Speaker 1: then you had this terrific season and it seemed to
Speaker 1: change everything. I guess not.
Speaker 4: What do you got the problem with Liken? It is
Speaker 4: ninety percent of goals against go over his shoulders. He's
Speaker 4: on his knees too much. I missed the stand up
Speaker 4: goalie era. Greg and Abbey.
Speaker 1: Greg, He's got to be my age. It is strange
Speaker 1: to watch the goaltenders of the past. Kirk mcclaim might
Speaker 1: have been the last really great stand up goaltender. I
Speaker 1: stand to be Craig. Marty Purr didn't go down all
Speaker 1: that much either, but it's just never went down. You
Speaker 1: ever remember, I asked Jim Pappen. Yeah, because he did
Speaker 1: go down in the nineteen seventy one Stanley Cup Final
Speaker 1: to make what may be the greatest saving playoff history. Ryan,
Speaker 1: you're sitting your laughing away there because they brought up
Speaker 1: somebody you don't know about. Educate yourself it was maybe
Speaker 1: it might be that. Look at you laughing away there,
Speaker 1: Bill Pappen.
Speaker 4: He doesn't know, but he doesn't even know Ken.
Speaker 1: Dry like you don't know Jim Pappen either, the j Jim,
Speaker 1: but maybe the greatest save in National Hockey League history.
Speaker 1: Donn and Sikamus, you're up there, I know you're playing
Speaker 1: with me.
Speaker 4: Show it showing the pop ryding say does he have it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But he My point is he went down to make
Speaker 1: that safe. Ken Dryden very rarely went down.
Speaker 4: They'd be smoking California Golden Seels nine nothing and he'd
Speaker 4: he'd be like one of the only.
Speaker 1: Time he went down is when he listened to Casey
Speaker 1: in the Sunshine band and get down tonight.
Speaker 4: Oh Casey in the Sunshine bad? Are you showing this
Speaker 4: a band in? It's hard to find?
Speaker 1: Bill?
Speaker 5: Why do people like, look at this, somebody posting an
Speaker 5: eight minute video and it's just still and some guy
Speaker 5: talking about the same.
Speaker 1: That's the same. That's pople do this, Matt. And you
Speaker 1: know what pappened? Did Bill j He changed his name
Speaker 1: to Bill No Jim Pappen. What teams on Chicago? That's okay.
Speaker 1: He raised his arms because he thought he was in thought.
Speaker 1: I thought it was in. That's a real. Dryden was
Speaker 1: a rookie and one of the great weird stats in
Speaker 1: National Hockey League history. Ken Dryden put this in your pipe, Rick.
Speaker 1: Ken Dryden won the con smythe out of four. He
Speaker 1: won the Calder Yes as Rookie of the Year. I
Speaker 1: remember this playoff m VP one year, Rookie of the
Speaker 1: Year the.
Speaker 4: Next out of Cornell University Cornell. Yeah, yeah, he came
Speaker 4: out of Cornell.
Speaker 1: One of the very home of the stand up goaltender. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, It's time to let Rutherford, Rutherford, Alvin go bring
Speaker 4: up Ryan Johnson, GM Mahulter, as coach Bill says, do
Speaker 4: those two things. But they have announced, you know, the
Speaker 4: foot's not going anywhere this year. If they make a
Speaker 4: change of a foot, it's going to be after the season.
Speaker 1: Donny, speaking of hockey and Adam foot Well, speaking of
Speaker 1: the NHL, Jim Pappitt's been traded. The NHL roster freeze
Speaker 1: goes into effect at noon. I've had one trade, right, hey,
Speaker 1: Nick bugstatu is going from Saint Louis to the Devils
Speaker 1: for who right.
Speaker 5: They actually just finally made the details official. It's for
Speaker 5: a draft pick as a hit Puberty for the first time,
Speaker 5: a fourth round draft pick. And and HL later so
Speaker 5: nothing on, nothing on. Penerien and Drants reported that it
Speaker 5: sounds like nothing's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: With doing anything.
Speaker 4: I mean, we're down to eleven minutes. You know why
Speaker 4: I was saying, Bill Pappen, remember the TV show of
Speaker 4: White Shadow.

Speaker 4: point about goldtender.

Speaker 1: up end up better regarding that style once they've had
