Speaker 3: lottery should be the winner of a two man loose.
Speaker 2: And Rick Dolly Wall.
Speaker 1: I had a cherry tree up little Ricky.
Speaker 4: I used to go up that tree and just sit
Speaker 4: there for hours and munch on those cherry years.
Speaker 1: Donnie and Dolly, it was a championship weekend across sports.
Speaker 1: This is Donnie Dolly the team on Check. I am
Speaker 1: Ryan Henderson alongside Rick Dollywall, broadcasting live from the Paul
Speaker 1: Carson Studio at Oh Boy Productions, Derek Wong directing the show,
Speaker 1: and Quinn Taylor in the producer seat. You're back.
Speaker 5: I am back from Terra beautiful City.
Speaker 1: Good time.
Speaker 5: Rained yesterday, but Friday is Saturday.
Speaker 1: Were good? It rained in Toronto.
Speaker 5: You mean yesterday was rain in.
Speaker 4: Toronto, which was brutal, But anyways, I.
Speaker 1: Got through it. You get Do you have any get
Speaker 1: togethers with anybody that you enjoyed it.
Speaker 5: It was a good time, good time had for all.
Speaker 1: I think the crown is flowing in Toronto.
Speaker 4: It was a good and I felt the buzz in Toronto,
Speaker 4: the World Cup buzz in Toronto. Yes, how do you not?
Speaker 1: I saw it at the airport. Okay, let me tell you.
Speaker 4: Think there were some guys on the flight that were
Speaker 4: going going to the game. We're going to a match,
Speaker 4: a match, Yeah, and it was. It was a whole
Speaker 4: slew of these guys and I felt the buzz of
Speaker 4: the World Cup. When Donnie asked me about the buzz
Speaker 4: last week, it was before any games were played. Now
Speaker 4: games are. I'm starting to.
Speaker 5: See the buzz at the Vancouver Airport, Toronto airport.
Speaker 1: It's a buzz, trust me. It's more than just at
Speaker 1: the airports. And we'll get into that as the show
Speaker 1: goes along. Canada, of course, with their first match one
Speaker 1: one on Friday afternoon, World Cup in full swing. Lots
Speaker 1: happening over the weekend. As I mentioned, championships galore, the
Speaker 1: Knicks winning fifty three years, Rick Nicks finally get a
Speaker 1: title in the NBA. So we'll get into that as
Speaker 1: the show goes along. And last night, of course, the Hurricanes,
Speaker 1: we shall mention quickly as well. BC Lions thirty one
Speaker 1: twenty seven loss in Saskatchewan. They come up short, Rick
Speaker 1: da little dejah vuish, little dejah vuish in my opinion,
Speaker 1: they had a lead late and they let it go.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to BC Lions quarterback Nathan Working around eleven
Speaker 1: fifteen about that and much more. But last night Rick
Speaker 1: the Hurricanes Carolina getting it done in game six, three
Speaker 1: to nothing shut out victory for the Hurricanes to be
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup champions. The statistics with the Hurricanes, Rick are
Speaker 1: just incredible. Sixteen and three in the playoffs the Hurricanes went.
Speaker 1: Of course, we know the back to back sweeps in
Speaker 1: rounds one and two, four game sweeps. Jordan's stall Consmith
Speaker 1: winner old this to do it. In the National Hockey
Speaker 1: Brandon Bussy. The Brandon Bussy story is incredible. Right backup, undrafted, undrafted,
Speaker 1: He made his NHL debut in October twenty seven years old,
Speaker 1: claimed off waivers. The Panthers are trying to sneak him
Speaker 1: through waivers. He was telling the story last night to
Speaker 1: Kyle Becossius about them. They were on a ten hour
Speaker 1: drive him and his fiance were on a ten hour
Speaker 1: drive and they diverted because the Hurricanes picked him up
Speaker 1: off Waivers. Taylor Hall wreck. The Taylor Hall story, I
Speaker 1: think is one that's not getting enough playing. My opinion,
Speaker 1: former first overall pick. We know in twenty ten, he's
Speaker 1: got eleven hundred games, seven franchises, he's played for in
Speaker 1: sixteen seasons, and he finally gets the Stanley Cup championship,
Speaker 1: much like Alex Ovechkin. That's what the NHL statistics they
Speaker 1: sent out today. It's very similar the two situations in
Speaker 1: terms of how long they had played and then getting
Speaker 1: their first title. So just very impressive stuff from the
Speaker 1: Hurricanes and they get the job done last night in Vegas.
Speaker 4: Okay, So for me, twelve million dollars under the cap,
Speaker 4: lots of value deals, no major horrible contracts, Like I
Speaker 4: think we got one great analytics department. They got a
Speaker 4: cheap owner there in Carolina and he just won the
Speaker 4: Stanley Cup. Yeah, Tom dund look what he's doing in
Speaker 4: Portland of the NBA. But the Trails guy doesn't do
Speaker 4: crazy spending. He watches every penny and he just won
Speaker 4: the Stanley Cup. Nine Canadians on the Carolina roster before
Speaker 4: you even start. There was ten eleven twelve on the
Speaker 4: Vegas team. So having Canadians and going far is important.
Speaker 4: Canucks are one of the lowest teams in the NHL
Speaker 4: with Canadians only two or three and they might lose
Speaker 4: two or three in the UFA here free agency coming
Speaker 4: up as well, So there's a lot of things. You
Speaker 4: mentioned a copycat league. So what are team's going to
Speaker 4: look at when they look at Carolina and how did
Speaker 4: they win the Cup? One area that the Canucks have
Speaker 4: not been great at is analytics. I'm sorry, but ye
Speaker 4: talk to people. If Evan Gold was gonna come here
Speaker 4: from Boston, he was going to revamp the analytics department.
Speaker 4: You know, the eye test. Most guys like the eye
Speaker 4: test over analytics. Analytics help. But Carolina is a great
Speaker 4: analytics team. Can the Canucks get better there? You know,
Speaker 4: for ten to eleven, twelve years, the Canucks have always
Speaker 4: been capped out, capped out. I know they got money
Speaker 4: this year, but they've always been capped out. Carolina just
Speaker 4: proved when you sign sensible deals, you don't get capped out,
Speaker 4: you know, And I think that's another issue right there,
Speaker 4: that they got to get better at And I want
Speaker 4: to bring up Jalen Chaffield.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry again, you can play that again.
Speaker 4: So I want to tell people that the Canucks signed
Speaker 4: him as an undrafted.
Speaker 1: This guy right here.
Speaker 4: The Canucks signed him as an undrafted twenty year old
Speaker 4: out of the Ontario Hockey League. They gave up on him.
Speaker 4: Carolina gave him a chance. He played twenty three minutes
Speaker 4: last night. Four block shots. He's a right shop. He's
Speaker 4: a right shot, top four defenseman on the Stanley Cup champions.
Speaker 4: He played eighteen games in Vancouver. He has played over
Speaker 4: three hundred games for Carolina. So what did the Carolina
Speaker 4: Hurricanes do with Chatfield that the Canucks couldn't do? They
Speaker 4: developed him. He went to their farm team. He was
Speaker 4: on a one year two way deal. He worked and
Speaker 4: worked and working. And I've told this story last year.
Speaker 4: Chatfield was a UFA. A Canucks showed interest. He's told
Speaker 4: his agent, I'm not going to July first. I love
Speaker 4: playing for Rod Brendam or the Campbell River Native And
Speaker 4: he went back there. Culture another thing that people talk
Speaker 4: about Carolina. Why they're so good, great culture there. Look
Speaker 4: at all those guys, how happy they were last night
Speaker 4: they all Miko Ranton and how do you feel today?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: You know, Mitch Marner said, nor to Carolina before he
Speaker 4: went to Vegas. There you go a lot of people said,
Speaker 4: we don't want to go to Carolina. It's not a
Speaker 4: sexy city. It's not New York, LA or Florida. But
Speaker 4: look at that. Yeah, but do you want to win?
Speaker 4: Want to win?
Speaker 1: Because you just brought up a good point, Rick, Because
Speaker 1: you know, we hear about Dylan Larkin reportedly Minnesota, Vegas, Florida.
Speaker 1: Who knows Darnold Nurse. We don't know teams. We know
Speaker 1: he wants to go to the East though, and potentially
Speaker 1: out of Canada. So who are those teams going to be?
Speaker 1: Are they going to be Florida? Are they gonna be
Speaker 1: like you do? You're right? You know we here we
Speaker 1: always hear all this stuff about Winnipeg. You know, nobody
Speaker 1: wants to go to Winnipeg. Tell me the last player
Speaker 1: that that is of significance that wants to go to Carolina.
Speaker 1: And yet here they are a Stanley Cup champions today
Speaker 1: without a superstar. They don't have a superstar. They got
Speaker 1: really good players, Logan's they don't have a superstar. They don't.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Logan Stankoviin's not a superstar. Yeah right, They've
Speaker 1: got really good players and they've put the puzzle pieces
Speaker 1: together in a really good way. And Rick, and look
Speaker 1: at how their postseason, their postseason struggled.
Speaker 4: You're a little bit higher than above average.
Speaker 1: But but you're sorry quickly. You're right about the player
Speaker 1: development thing.
Speaker 5: Then it developed.
Speaker 4: They developed Jake Zachfield when the Canucks couldn't do exactly.
Speaker 1: And that's what worries me here. And it's something you've
Speaker 1: been talking about because arguably the two most important people
Speaker 1: with player development here in Vancouver, they just got promoted, yes,
Speaker 1: and so how do you backfill that?
Speaker 4: But I give the Canucks credit for identifying Chatfield and
Speaker 4: signing him as a twenty year old undrafted player out
Speaker 4: of the HL. But they didn't draft him properly. He
Speaker 4: goes there.
Speaker 1: He didn't develop them properly.
Speaker 5: Right, Who is the last Riot?
Speaker 1: Every night?
Speaker 4: He plays twenty to yes five minutes signocking shots. I mean,
Speaker 4: he checks like crazy. He's a big guy, he can
Speaker 4: skate so well, he's a right shot. I mean, and
Speaker 4: here's the other thing about Chaffield. People don't realize if
Speaker 4: if they would have developed Chaffield, they wouldn't have used
Speaker 4: Horrorvat's first round pick to get your buddy Heronic. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so if Chaffield was here and a right shot top
Speaker 4: four d the Canucks would not have had to get Heronic.
Speaker 1: But it's something. If you look rick at drafted the
Speaker 1: draft history of Vancouver Canucks, you have to go a
Speaker 1: long ways back to see a player they've developed, because
Speaker 1: you don't get credit for Quinn Hughes. You don't. You know,
Speaker 1: the higher end players you don't develop. It's the lower
Speaker 1: end guys that you draft and you develop or you
Speaker 1: got you acquire from another team. You see something something
Speaker 1: somebody else doesn't and you developed them. And that story
Speaker 1: has not happened here in Vancouver in a very long time.
Speaker 1: In fact, all that seems to happen is the players
Speaker 1: go and they get to developed elsewhere. Look at put
Speaker 1: Coleson too, I mean, Pud Coleson's been developed by the
Speaker 1: Oilers and do a different kind of player that's fit
Speaker 1: perfectly for them. And look at Eric Tolsky's getting a
Speaker 1: lot of flowers today right justifiably so he could have
Speaker 1: made some bad moves to Rick He could have traded
Speaker 1: for LEAs Petterson, right, I mean, we know that they
Speaker 1: were very interested in Lias Petterson. How would that have
Speaker 1: gone down if if he had gone there? What do
Speaker 1: you fixed his game? I don't know, but but yes,
Speaker 1: everything he's done seemingly has turned out. The pivot off
Speaker 1: ranton In is something that we don't see in the
Speaker 1: NHL often that a tea takes a swing and quickly
Speaker 1: moves off that swing because it doesn't work right. Usually
Speaker 1: guys are pretty stubborn. I made this trade. I want
Speaker 1: to see it work. We've got to give him time. Whatever. No,
Speaker 1: it wasn't working, boom gone. You get stan Covin in there.
Speaker 1: I mean, and he played such a master a huge
Speaker 1: role for them. That line was just fabulous. But I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just all the puzzle pieces were there and they fit.
Speaker 4: We haven't even mentioned the Campbell River native Rodmore. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we ripping a year ago. Oh what's he done? He
Speaker 4: can't get over the Eastern Conference hump. They got over
Speaker 4: the hump this year, the Eastern hold on. No, no, no, no, stop.
Speaker 4: Let me get this in on Brendan Borg before you
Speaker 4: start ripping him.
Speaker 1: He's a b C boy.
Speaker 4: He should be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 4: He wins the Stanley Cup with the Hurricanes as their captain.
Speaker 4: Twenty years later as a coach. I don't know if
Speaker 4: you have that Quinn and him had taking off his
Speaker 4: shirt with the cup and there you love this video,
Speaker 4: This Rod brendan Bore. This is your favorite video of
Speaker 4: the better shape than most of the players. They're not
Speaker 4: an inch of out on this guy. He's in the
Speaker 4: gym all the time. Look at this Campbell River native
Speaker 4: and uh, he couldn't be in the media. He couldn't
Speaker 4: be in the media because I'll tell you no one
Speaker 4: in the media has got that body.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: But look at this Rod Brendamore. And you know what,
Speaker 4: he could have gone elsewhere. He to New York, La
Speaker 4: Florida for five million a year. He could have He
Speaker 4: loves Carolina, he loves playing, he loves coaching for that owner.
Speaker 4: And uh and I'll tell you something else, folks. When
Speaker 4: he retired, the guy that got him into coaching was
Speaker 4: a guy named Jim Rutherford. It was Jim Rutherford who
Speaker 4: said to Rod, Hey, you know what, Uh, you got
Speaker 4: leadership qualities, you should get into coaching. And uh, I
Speaker 4: don't think I look, I'm happy for Chafffield last night,
Speaker 4: but I don't think I was more happy for anyone
Speaker 4: more than Rod brandanmore last night. He's a great coach,
Speaker 4: and we talked about culture. We talked about Chafffield saying, no,
Speaker 4: I don't want to go to UFA status because I
Speaker 4: want to return and play for Rod. He's a players
Speaker 4: coach and good on him.
Speaker 1: My point on Brindemoor by the way, no, you were,
Speaker 1: and it still stands. Ray he's a champion today. Here's
Speaker 1: a Lukets Stanley Cup champ every year, not fifteen sure,
Speaker 1: but ultimately before this and they talked about this last
Speaker 1: night and the ice before this, the rep with the
Speaker 1: Hurricanes was couldn't get over the hump, couldn't get over
Speaker 1: the hump. Talented, couldn't get over the hump. They finally
Speaker 1: did it. That's good. Good for them. There are the
Speaker 1: Washington Capitals. The Capitals were the same way and they
Speaker 1: finally did it. But if you look back in the
Speaker 1: seasons prior for the Hurricanes, it's a lot of one
Speaker 1: win in the Eastern Conference final bow out and when
Speaker 1: they have amazing regular seasons. But they finally did it
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 5: Before Edmonton won their Cups. What happened Ryan?
Speaker 1: They ran into.
Speaker 5: No No, no No.
Speaker 4: They went to la and they blew a five nothing
Speaker 4: lead and lost six to five, and the media was
Speaker 4: all over him. You have to lose before you win,
Speaker 4: sure to struggle before you have success.
Speaker 1: So my point last year when I was bringing it up,
Speaker 1: is something that they talked about themselves last night. Their
Speaker 1: reputation was a team that couldn't get over the hump,
Speaker 1: and they finally did it last night against Vegas. And look,
Speaker 1: we're already getting people talking about their path being easy
Speaker 1: because of Florida situation and all gotta win.
Speaker 4: It's easy for every team exactly. It's still impressive. Path
Speaker 4: was easy for every team, not just Carolina.
Speaker 1: It's still impressive. Absolutely.
Speaker 4: Okay, so let me get some Canuck tidbits in here,
Speaker 4: because now we're gonna focus on Hockey's over. So now
Speaker 4: we've got the NHL Draft coming up. Now, we got
Speaker 4: free agency, we got July first, so the Canucks are
Speaker 4: out there, they're talking to a lot of agents. When
Speaker 4: I checked in this morning, I was told no updates
Speaker 4: on UFA's Teddy Blueger and Adam Foot.
Speaker 5: No, not Adam Foot. Teddy Blueger and Derek Forbert.
Speaker 4: I've been told this morning to keep an eye on
Speaker 4: Utah hiring Adam Foot as an assistant coach. There is
Speaker 4: interest in Foot from the Mammoth and I do believe
Speaker 4: they are trying to get a deal done. Let's see
Speaker 4: if they get it done. But this is going to
Speaker 4: help Vancouver. Patrick Alvin goes to Seattle, if Adam Foot
Speaker 4: go to Utah. I'm being told they're trying to get
Speaker 4: a deal done, that's gonna help the money. That's gonna
Speaker 4: help the Canucks on the dead money in management, every
Speaker 4: little penny helps, and it can help the owner. Maybe
Speaker 4: saying yes to a player for money. All that stuff matters.
Speaker 4: So just keep an eye on Adam Foot and Utah.
Speaker 1: We don't have time to get into this money thing
Speaker 1: that you keep talking about.
Speaker 4: You don't take it, so you you take It's not
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It's a billion dollar business, right Don't then don't tell
Speaker 1: me he didn't have a billion dollar business by giving
Speaker 1: away free money. Sure, but but don't then don't stand
Speaker 1: in front of a podium and say that these guys
Speaker 1: have all the resources, because they don't. If that's the case,
Speaker 1: if you're looking at an Excel spreadsheet and you got
Speaker 1: to balance every dollar in dollar out. You don't have
Speaker 1: all the resources. I'm sorry, all the resourcess guys like
Speaker 1: Ryan Smith and Utah resource guys like Foley in Vegas
Speaker 1: and what they provide, well, I want to see it's
Speaker 1: new game.
Speaker 4: I want to see this owner provide the Twins with better,
Speaker 4: uh absolutely better analytics. So that's all money, more money,
Speaker 4: more money into development because there's a ton of kids
Speaker 4: coming to Vancouver in the next three drafts. Development's got
Speaker 4: you pour your money into development and in the analytics.
Speaker 1: On the other side, we have a loaded show eleven fifteen.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking with Nathan Rourke. As I mentioned
Speaker 1: BC Lions quarterback eleven o'clock, Jamie mcclennan. He'll talk more
Speaker 1: about the Stanley Cup final last night, the Carolina Hurricanes
Speaker 1: beating the Vegas Golden Knights. We haven't talked about the
Speaker 1: World Cup yet, of course, as I mentioned, Canada one
Speaker 1: to one draw against Bosnia and Herzegomina on Friday afternoon,
Speaker 1: and then of course all the matches over the weekend
Speaker 1: as well. The city's been on fire, regardless of what
Speaker 1: you think it's the buzz is picked up in a
Speaker 1: big way some of the scenes on Saturday, specifically with
Speaker 1: the first match of BC Place. Yeah, this is this
Speaker 1: is incredible. We'll get to this more as the show
Speaker 1: goes along. On the other side, though, Doley is going
Speaker 1: to join us. Paul Dolan, our World Cup regular, He's
Speaker 1: going to join us as the tournament goes on. Canada's
Speaker 1: next match is coming up on Wednesday here at BC

Speaker 1: But we're gonna try our best. Paul Dolan joining us
Speaker 1: now from Apple TV and our World Cup regular Doley,
Speaker 1: how are you, sir? Oh? You got to saw so
Speaker 1: he had his red jersey on on Love and Friday
Speaker 1: and today you've got the white jersey on.
Speaker 6: From forty years ago. I can tell you that.
Speaker 1: Would you turn off your ringer?
Speaker 5: Ah? I am, it's off. Go ahead, go Doley go.
Speaker 6: It's more of the disrespect for soccer it is for
Speaker 6: anything else. It's got kind of a basement mil dew
Speaker 6: smelt to it for lay nice.
Speaker 1: So it smells like this room.
Speaker 6: I'm sure it does. I said to my wife, I
Speaker 6: got aware this the to the game, right the Adida section,
Speaker 6: the old Adidas jersey, and it's a size extra medium
Speaker 6: And she said, no, not very flat.
Speaker 1: Well, at least she's looking out for you. At least
Speaker 1: she's looking out for you. Let might do it anyway,
Speaker 1: so doulei. Friday afternoon, Canada's World Cup opens with a
Speaker 1: one to one draw against Bosnia and hertz Coovina. Your
Speaker 1: initial takeaways from Canada's performance in Toronto.
Speaker 6: So let's just talk about the performance, if that's where
Speaker 6: you want to start. It was okay, it was I
Speaker 6: guess slightly above average, you know, towards the end of
Speaker 6: the game, obviously, they really started to come on and
Speaker 6: show what they can do. When they're the team on
Speaker 6: the front foot, they're the aggressive team, they're the team
Speaker 6: that is pressing the issue. We didn't see that enough
Speaker 6: in the first half. And oftentimes World Cup games, especially
Speaker 6: the first game, especially with the nerves, your first ever
Speaker 6: game at home in a World Cup, obviously it is
Speaker 6: going to be at the point where you are kind
Speaker 6: of nervy and maybe don't play to your full potential,
Speaker 6: few wayward passes, this type of thing. But I think
Speaker 6: they looked in full control of most of the game.
Speaker 6: They just couldn't find that cutting edge near the end
Speaker 6: and to concede on a corner kick as they did
Speaker 6: with basically the only time that Bosnia really threatened Maxis
Speaker 6: goal in the first half was really concerning. And now
Speaker 6: you're chasing the game, You're coming from behind against a
Speaker 6: team that's looking to sit anyway and defend that and
Speaker 6: make it difficult for you to get through, and that's
Speaker 6: when you need your big players to jump up in
Speaker 6: big moments. Unfortunately, in the first half Jonathan David had
Speaker 6: that big moment and couldn't convert, and there was one
Speaker 6: or two other opportunities. But once the changes were made
Speaker 6: in the second half, and a lot's obviously being said
Speaker 6: about Kyle Laren and the big moment that he did
Speaker 6: step up and scored the time goal in almost the winner,
Speaker 6: you have to say that Ali Amat I think really
Speaker 6: changed that game when he came on. The former White
Speaker 6: Cat player came on, and his ability to not just
Speaker 6: go down the line like Tejon Buchanan was doing it and
Speaker 6: getting crosses in, but to come in centrally and really
Speaker 6: put Bosnia on the back foot on their heels, kind
Speaker 6: of not knowing which way he's going to go. He
Speaker 6: was creating chances that way. And credit to for ishmael
Speaker 6: Kone on the goal for driving the play for getting
Speaker 6: forward and then a beautiful one too with promised David
Speaker 6: who also came in as a sub. And those players
Speaker 6: had a big impact. Laryn scores a terrific goal. And
Speaker 6: so you leave the whole thing, I think in a
Speaker 6: good spirit because you've got the point. It would have
Speaker 6: been a disaster to have lost, and there were twelve
Speaker 6: minutes away from losing that game.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Jonathan David Doley, you mentioned him a lot
Speaker 1: of talk about you know, he has struggled before this
Speaker 1: tournament as well, and that grade a chance sitting there
Speaker 1: for him and he couldn't bury it. Do you expect
Speaker 1: him to start Thursday? Will you be surprised if he
Speaker 1: doesn't start on Thursday?
Speaker 6: I won't be overly surprised if he doesn't start. But
Speaker 6: do I expect him to start? I actually do I
Speaker 6: think that you give the guy that I don't want
Speaker 6: to say has gotten you there. Obviously, as the host
Speaker 6: you automatically qualify, but over the course of the last
Speaker 6: number of years he's been an integral part of the team.
Speaker 6: Kenna's all time leading scorer, generally does it in the
Speaker 6: big moments. He's still getting into those spots, but I
Speaker 6: think that he probably starts with Kyle Laren, although promised
Speaker 6: David as well when he came on, had a lot
Speaker 6: to say, so I think promised David would be the
Speaker 6: first sub rather than Tanny Alosha. But you need to
Speaker 6: see how things unfold. If Katar does what they did
Speaker 6: against Switzerland, which was to really frustrate the Swiss, I
Speaker 6: mean they only scored the one penalty kick goal, then
Speaker 6: you know, if they're not able to break them down,
Speaker 6: then I think changes are made sooner rather than later.
Speaker 6: But I think you give Jonathan David and Kyle larn
Speaker 6: the startup front against Katar and try to get something
Speaker 6: early and then maybe it really starts to open up
Speaker 6: if Qatar has to push back the other way.
Speaker 4: Only what does Canada have to do better? What was
Speaker 4: your takeaway that for Games two and three that they
Speaker 4: got to be better at.
Speaker 6: I think it's I mean it's a simple thing to
Speaker 6: say when you only get the one goal, but they
Speaker 6: have to take their chances. They have to be more
Speaker 6: efficient inside the pendley or that the frustrating thing, or
Speaker 6: that maybe somewhat worrying thing is that we saw that
Speaker 6: against Ireland as well, a team that played Katar funny
Speaker 6: enough and played them off the park, but is not
Speaker 6: a World Cup qualifier and had a very young lineup
Speaker 6: when Canada faced them in the last game in Montreal,
Speaker 6: and they just were not able to break them down
Speaker 6: except for the corner kit goal. But in open play
Speaker 6: Canada has struggled to score as of late, and so
Speaker 6: that's the biggest thing for me is finding a way
Speaker 6: to finish. And for me it might include having a
Speaker 6: player like an Ali Amen because you don't have Marcela
Speaker 6: Flores as a direct dribbler. But it could mean that
Speaker 6: Mail Flora Ismail Cony does what he did on the
Speaker 6: game time goal, which was to drive to goal a
Speaker 6: little bit more. I think you need to get inside
Speaker 6: the penalty area because anything can happen once a foot
Speaker 6: gets stuck out by one of the Katari defenders or
Speaker 6: what have you. The closer you get to goal, and
Speaker 6: I saw it on Saturday night, by the way, when
Speaker 6: I was at BC Place and Dolly, I mean, let's
Speaker 6: talk buzz, okay, And I know I'm going off topic here,
Speaker 6: but I have to mention how incredible it was to
Speaker 6: be at BC Place in your home city hosting a
Speaker 6: World Cup. The last mile walk up, the activations on
Speaker 6: Granville Street, Robson Street was buzzing, the building was on fire.
Speaker 6: BC Place, the Adida soccer ball at Science World, it
Speaker 6: was incredible. It felt to me like when we were
Speaker 6: walking downtown in February of twenty ten. Honestly, I had
Speaker 6: that same feeling. And this is before Canada's kicked the
Speaker 6: ball in Vancouver. So the atmosphere with the Turks and
Speaker 6: the Aussi fanasy was singing down under. This is going
Speaker 6: to be something massive on Thursday with Canada and Qatar.
Speaker 6: And if they can do what they need to do,
Speaker 6: which is get out on the front foot early, get
Speaker 6: an early goal, and get that crowd behind them, it's
Speaker 6: going to be something else.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's talk about that game with Qatar. What kind
Speaker 4: of problems do they pose?
Speaker 6: Well, you saw against the Swiss that they were pretty
Speaker 6: resolute defensively. The keeper made some good saves. I feel
Speaker 6: like the Swiss were very wasteful in that game, and
Speaker 6: that's exactly what Canada. Canadi afford to do. But they're
Speaker 6: a team that will battle. You know, you think of
Speaker 6: guitar and you think of how small it is, but
Speaker 6: they've brought in a lot of players from different countries,
Speaker 6: particularly from Brazil and naturalized and this was ahead of
Speaker 6: the World Cup in twenty twenty two, that of course
Speaker 6: was held in Qatar. They've got an incredible manager who
Speaker 6: managed to Spain and Lopatagi, so they've got a guy
Speaker 6: who's very organized in soccer. As you know, if you
Speaker 6: can get a good defensive setup in structure, you can
Speaker 6: make it difficult for the opposition and then use your
Speaker 6: offensive players on the break when you counter. And Canada
Speaker 6: does lead the space in behind because they're a high
Speaker 6: pressure team that likes to put the bodies close to
Speaker 6: the Katari goal, and that means if you're not breaking
Speaker 6: them down and the Quitar team is out on the
Speaker 6: break on the counter attack, then they've got the space
Speaker 6: to run into. So that is the threat for Canada.
Speaker 6: But I feel with the strength of players that we have,
Speaker 6: with the fifty thousand plus backing that I'm sure Canada
Speaker 6: will have at the game, and the fact that they
Speaker 6: know if Canada wins this game, they're through to the
Speaker 6: next round and with a good chance of winning the
Speaker 6: group if they're able to do something against Switzerland, I
Speaker 6: think is a huge motivator and will be not the
Speaker 6: deciding factor. I think Canada is a better team.
Speaker 1: So do you think that draw on Friday puts any
Speaker 1: pressure on Alfonso Davies to come back for this game
Speaker 1: coming up this week?
Speaker 6: I don't think necessarily the result. I think it's literally
Speaker 6: down to what Fonsie can do for fitness. You can't
Speaker 6: press more or less based on the results that you're
Speaker 6: getting in the tournament. The fact that Qatar in Switzerland
Speaker 6: did tie, I think relieved a little bit of pressure,
Speaker 6: although you know, some people are pointing out the fact
Speaker 6: that Okay, well now you know it puts Qatar in
Speaker 6: the mix as well when you thought, you know, the
Speaker 6: top three to get through. But you have to have
Speaker 6: a mindset that you're not just going to try to
Speaker 6: get through as a third place team. You are a
Speaker 6: host nation, one of the favorite teams because you're playing
Speaker 6: at home and have a good team. I think you
Speaker 6: have to look at it as here's a good chance
Speaker 6: to win the group now, you know, with a win
Speaker 6: against Guitar and a win against Switzerland. I think you
Speaker 6: have to think of it that way, and at the
Speaker 6: very worst to win against Guitar and a draw against Switzerland.
Speaker 6: But I don't think that any of that puts any
Speaker 6: different emphasis on when Alphonsa Davies can play. I think
Speaker 6: when he's fit, he'll play.
Speaker 1: We only got about ninety seconds or doily. But which
Speaker 1: are the host nations you think is under the most
Speaker 1: pressure to perform at this World Cup?
Speaker 6: Funny enough, in some senses, Canada is because you know,
Speaker 6: I think Mexico will do well at home. They always do,
Speaker 6: given the altitude and just the history there. The US
Speaker 6: have to say this played the best performance is certainly
Speaker 6: the best for five minutes of any team that's taken
Speaker 6: to the pitch. Yet they were phenomenal against Paraguay. I've
Speaker 6: never seen them play like that. I think that pressure
Speaker 6: that was going into the tournament has been relieved a
Speaker 6: little bit because of how well they played there. I
Speaker 6: think for Canada getting the draw and having to win
Speaker 6: a game at the World Cup and having to get
Speaker 6: out of your group. Maybe there's more pressure on Canada
Speaker 6: than any other It sounds strange to say, but it's
Speaker 6: a big game on Thursday against a team you're supposed
Speaker 6: to beat that puts even more pressure on you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, well, don't we appreciate this And I'm glad
Speaker 1: you enjoyed Saturday night. The pictures just looked amazing and
Speaker 1: we'll catch up with you later in the.
Speaker 6: Week look forward to th Fellas.
Speaker 1: Thanks to Paul Dolan joining us from Apple TV and
Speaker 1: also our regular during the World Cup, Rick, We're gonna
Speaker 1: take a quick break on the other side. I want
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit more about the World Cup
Speaker 1: because I was at the fan fest on Saturday night
Speaker 1: out at the P and E, so I'm gonna share
Speaker 1: my experience on that and we'll also talk a little
Speaker 1: bit more about what happened over the weekend. It's Donny
Speaker 1: Doll the team I check.
Speaker 7: Looking for the ultimate Vancouver Island getaway.
Speaker 1: Head to beautiful.
Speaker 3: Parksville and experience the Bayside ocean Front resort, where every
Speaker 3: stay feels like a vacation you'll never forget. From sunrise
Speaker 3: walks on the beach to sunsets on the patio.
Speaker 1: Bayside puts you steps.

Speaker 3: Bayside is your perfect year round escape. Book your getaway
Speaker 3: now at two five oh two, four eight eight, couple three.
Speaker 7: Your eye on an adventure starts here. Remember that dead
Speaker 7: electric leaf blower in the garage, still hoping it'll come.
Speaker 1: Back to life.
Speaker 4: Opeic is PC's recycling program for battery powered and electric
Speaker 4: outdoor power equipment.
Speaker 3: Just like other electronics, electric lawn and garden equipment can
Speaker 3: also be recycled when it reaches the end of its
Speaker 3: useful life.
Speaker 4: All electric yard tools don't have to end up in
Speaker 4: the landfill. If you're an electric outdoor power equipment capy fixed,
Speaker 4: it could be recycled.
Speaker 3: Whether it's a leaf blower, trimmer, or lawnmower. Many can
Speaker 3: be recycled for free in BC. Visit opeic dot Ca
Speaker 3: to find a depot near you and recycle responsibly.
Speaker 7: That's Opeice dot Ca.
Speaker 1: Time now to set up our Wadling Dog poll question
Speaker 1: for the first time today, a reminder you can experience
Speaker 1: one of Victoria's iconic destinations. That's the Watling Dog. They
Speaker 1: have the World Cup on with Canada games shown live
Speaker 1: and loud on all of their twenty two TVs with
Speaker 1: full sound throughout the entire Wattling Dog. Come sit and
Speaker 1: stay at the dog today, Rick.
Speaker 5: All right, Quinn, get her up the waddling Dog. Pop
Speaker 5: pull question.
Speaker 4: What can the Canucks learn from the Hurricanes winning the
Speaker 4: Stanley Cup last night? Manage the cap better, improve analytics.
Speaker 4: Don't worry about size or everything. And look what's leading
Speaker 4: seventy nine everything? Manage the cap better. Carolina's got a
Speaker 4: lot of good value deals. They don't have anyone overpaid
Speaker 4: other than cock kick and the Emmy that guy, but
Speaker 4: that's probably their worst contract. Everyone else is pretty decent.
Speaker 4: There's no one that's super duper. There's no eleven point sixes.
Speaker 4: But anyways, improve analytics.
Speaker 5: They are.
Speaker 4: They invest in analytics. That's a high analytics hockey club,
Speaker 4: so they don't worry about size.
Speaker 5: Stan Covid Blake, who's the third guy?
Speaker 4: Quick seth Jarvis, Quinton Jarvis who is in six four twenty.
Speaker 4: So a lot of their skill guys are small, right,
Speaker 4: And don't bring up stan Covin and Vancouver, because the
Speaker 4: Vancouver Canucks took Danilla Klamovich five spots before stan Covin.
Speaker 4: Klemovich has not played a game in the NHL and
Speaker 4: has spent four years in Abasford.
Speaker 1: His contracts up.
Speaker 4: I'll be very interested to see what the Canucks do
Speaker 4: with Klomovic. So again size, guess what they got three
Speaker 4: small guys that are scoring in Carolina.
Speaker 1: It's interesting, Rack, and we're gonna talk to Jamie McLennan
Speaker 1: about this full disclosure. We pre taped with him. But
Speaker 1: you know, usually because the league is so copycat, right,
Speaker 1: a team wins a championship and oh, we got to
Speaker 1: do this now. But usually it's oh, they had really
Speaker 1: big you know defenseman, we got to do that. Or
Speaker 1: they had a ton of speed, we got to do that.
Speaker 1: It's the Hurricanes. It's like they just they smother you.
Speaker 1: For one thing. I'm not quite sure how you can
Speaker 1: they checked. They're one of the best checking teams need right,
Speaker 1: and so how do you copy that? I don't know
Speaker 1: how you can really copy that. You can't just bring
Speaker 1: in all that style of player. You also can't just
Speaker 1: bring in Rod Brindamore's system and the way he coached
Speaker 1: and the culture he sets and all those things. Like
Speaker 1: they're unique. They're a team that's unique. And you know,
Speaker 1: almost every other champion I think you could say, oh,
Speaker 1: they've done this really well, the Hurricanes seem to be
Speaker 1: a unique one. I don't necessarily know it's easy to
Speaker 1: just duplicate it.
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't have to be a duplication every day.
Speaker 4: They just have a coach, they play to a system,
Speaker 4: they believe in them, and they love their coach, and
Speaker 4: they played for their coach.
Speaker 1: What else?
Speaker 5: What else is there to say?
Speaker 1: So you raved about Jalen Chatfield earlier on the show.
Speaker 1: This is from Brian in our Bayside Ocean Rumbers or inbox.
Speaker 1: Send your submissions in by the way text us six
Speaker 1: four two hundred ninety four ninety four. Email the team
Speaker 1: at Chechmedia dot Ca. Anything you want from the weekend,
Speaker 1: Send us your thoughts into our Bayside Ocean Rumbers or
Speaker 1: at inbox. Bryan Rick Hindsight is twenty twenty. You can't
Speaker 1: complain about the Canucks letting Chatfield go. I used to
Speaker 1: listen to you on the radio. You and all the
Speaker 1: other experts never complained or said one word when he
Speaker 1: left Vancouver. It hardly got any media attention at all.
Speaker 1: Let it go. That's Brian, let it go.
Speaker 4: So we're gonna let go the fact that the Canocks
Speaker 4: out of defenseman here, they didn't develop them. He went
Speaker 4: to Carolina basically for free, and they developed him into
Speaker 4: a top four defense But how can you just bypass.
Speaker 1: That because I agree with what he's saying, Rick, Like,
Speaker 1: I obviously can't get in a time tunnel and tell
Speaker 1: you about what we were talking about the day of
Speaker 1: him being him leaving the organization. But I don't think
Speaker 1: anybody was sitting here going he's gonna be a top
Speaker 1: four defenseman and a Stanley Cup champion. My goodness, what
Speaker 1: happened to you? Not bring it up? You bring it up?
Speaker 4: Sure, because if they would have developed him like Carolina did,
Speaker 4: they wouldn't have paid money. They wouldn't have taken Horbat's
Speaker 4: first round pick to get Aronic.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, you know what it feels like? Deja vu?
Speaker 8: For the last two years too, we're talking about goostaersly
Speaker 8: for the exact same thing.
Speaker 1: It's not the exact same thing because there's a stop
Speaker 1: in between. Yes, yes, that's the one difference with for Stille.
Speaker 8: But still it's still a defenseman that they didn't develop
Speaker 8: properly that ended up having a major role on the championship.
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing, Quinn. It's it's one thing, like
Speaker 1: because the the It's one thing when like Jonah Gadgovitch
Speaker 1: just won a title with flour Yeah right, no, but
Speaker 1: it's one thing when one of those guys leaves your
Speaker 1: organization and look at it just worked out. It's another
Speaker 1: thing when like Forestling and Chatfield.
Speaker 4: Are twenty plus minutes exactly twenty plus. He played twenty
Speaker 4: three minutes last night.
Speaker 1: Chatfield.
Speaker 4: Rod Brandamore loves him. We had Brendamore on the show.
Speaker 4: He was raving about chatfield size, his strength, his skating.
Speaker 5: So there you go.
Speaker 4: How do we not talk about it? Yeah, Like, I mean,
Speaker 4: but I know what Brian there and the Caducks gotta
Speaker 4: learn the lesson there, maybe develop them better. They had
Speaker 4: him in Utica, right, And it wasn't Travis Green, it
Speaker 4: was Jim Benning. It was better who had basically essentially
Speaker 4: given up on Chatfield.
Speaker 8: And I get what Brian's saying too, but like it's
Speaker 8: also we're not the ones who are supposed to like
Speaker 8: see these guys and know what their development is going
Speaker 8: to be, like like the Canucks should have I don't
Speaker 8: know which gym it was. They're supposed to be the smartest.
Speaker 8: They should have known the Chatfield was gonna turn into
Speaker 8: something like this. Yep, but the Connucks did a good.
Speaker 4: Job of identifying him as a twenty year old undrafted
Speaker 4: player so early. But the only played eighteen games here.
Speaker 4: The thing that burns yet he's played eighteen games of Vancouver,
Speaker 4: but three hundred plus in Carolina.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, uh, this is Scott in Black Creek.
Speaker 1: Brian is bang on this and Rick every team as
Speaker 1: players that developed somewhere, Dude.
Speaker 4: The Canucks just happened to have Forestling, Chapel Gadgevich who
Speaker 4: have gone on to win Stanley Cups in the last
Speaker 4: two three years.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Rick, you're right, every team does
Speaker 1: have them. It feels like, again no statistics to back
Speaker 1: this up. It feels like the Canucks are the leaders
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse in terms of players that have gone
Speaker 1: somewhere else. And developed.
Speaker 8: You know what's fushmatable frustrating about that too. It's like
Speaker 8: it's not like the Canucks were great. A good team
Speaker 8: of Chatfield is Year or Forestley, you know, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8: He would have had way more opportunity here on a
Speaker 8: bad team. Same with pod Coles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Okay, we just talked to Doley
Speaker 1: about the World Cup. I just want to mention quickly
Speaker 1: for Saturday night, you were whooping it up at a
Speaker 1: at a wedding. I was at the FIFA fan fest
Speaker 1: at the p and E Grounds at Hastings there. Uh.
Speaker 1: I went with my son Max and my parents. We
Speaker 1: checked it out. It's it's really really well done. If
Speaker 1: you want a spot to watch games, not just Canada,
Speaker 1: any of the games, it's a really good spot because
Speaker 1: you've got the amphitheater, but there's also screens everywhere for
Speaker 1: you to check out. There were some things for my
Speaker 1: son to do. He's going to be four in July,
Speaker 1: so if you have a young kid, don't expect them
Speaker 1: to have a ton to do, but there was a
Speaker 1: there was enough to keep him busy. The one thing
Speaker 1: you're in for sticker shock when it comes to food
Speaker 1: and drink. Because yes, it's free to enter it unless
Speaker 1: you have tickets, reserve tickets and the amphitheater. It's free
Speaker 1: to enter it. But I spent fifty bucks rick on
Speaker 1: a slice of pizza, a Greek pita wrap, a bottle
Speaker 1: of coke, and a bottle of water. It was fifty bucks, yep.
Speaker 5: But why didn't you before you went there?
Speaker 4: You know these guys, Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna take
Speaker 4: you to the top of the mountain. They're gonna take
Speaker 4: your wallet, and they're gonna say give us everything.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, Yeah, you know it's it is
Speaker 1: a bit steep, but it was my choice. It was
Speaker 1: my Well, no, you can't take there's a lot of
Speaker 1: things you can't take in. That's the other thing. If
Speaker 1: you're going, check out the website before because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff that was left at this You can't
Speaker 1: take spray, sunscreen in. There's a lot of restrictions, so
Speaker 1: make sure you check it out before you go. Don't
Speaker 1: just think you can take whatever into it, especially with the.
Speaker 5: Be the food prices they got you.
Speaker 1: It's still it's still you're right, and a lot of
Speaker 1: this stuff glosses over me now it's still gross. And
Speaker 1: it's not just there. It's in the buildings, it's for
Speaker 1: Canuck games, it's for white it's for everything. It's the
Speaker 1: prices are just nuts when you're asking people to pay
Speaker 1: what they're gonna pay on top of their ticket prices.
Speaker 1: Again this was free, but still just it's it's it's
Speaker 1: a lot. But anyway, and look, I really felt that
Speaker 1: kidding aside, the buzz is kicked up in a big
Speaker 1: way here. The scenes on Saturday night with that Australia
Speaker 1: match were unbelievable. Derek, you got this video. This was
Speaker 1: This is Kenneth Chan from the Daily Half. This is
Speaker 1: Gramville Street Rick at one am on Sunday morning, late
Speaker 1: Saturday night after the Australia match let out. It's packed,
Speaker 1: jammed and they've done a great job. They've shut down
Speaker 1: the cars on Granville, They've got all these activations so
Speaker 1: they've really you know, got the pedestrians to really flock
Speaker 1: to this area, which is gonna be great for all
Speaker 1: the businesses, but it's you know, you kind of forget
Speaker 1: how multiculture of this city is, and you also forget
Speaker 1: how many people will travel and support their soccer team,
Speaker 1: like some of the Australia fans and the crowd specifically,
Speaker 1: and this is not knocking Turkey, but the Australia fans
Speaker 1: and the emotion and the passion and they're singing down
Speaker 1: Under at the end of the match. Just unbelievable, unbelievable stuff.
Speaker 1: Just quickly, some other notes from the weekend. Doley touched
Speaker 1: on at USA pounded Paraguay for one, Germany over Curisaw
Speaker 1: seven to one. That was massive. Brazil and Morocco won one.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, Australia over Turkey to nil. Today Rick
Speaker 1: Seattle gets their first World Cup match. Belgium is taking
Speaker 1: on Egypt down in Seattle, so they're gonna get their
Speaker 1: first taste of the World Cup. Fans are actually going
Speaker 1: into the building right now in Seattle, so some good
Speaker 1: stuff there. I'll have more on the World Cup in DTMZ.
Speaker 1: Some interesting stuff with these restrictions about brands. If you're
Speaker 1: not a FIFA partner, you can't be talked about wow.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that coming up in DTMZ. Quinn's

Speaker 1: Just before we get to Big Rye the Twitter guy
Speaker 1: featuring Quinn Taylor, this is a very good submission, Rick,
Speaker 1: It's unsigned. Unfortunately, Brian is one hundred percent correct. This
Speaker 1: is going back if you're just tuning in. Brian sent
Speaker 1: us a submission. I'm not sure where Brian's from, but
Speaker 1: he emailed us in our baseside Ocean from resort inbox
Speaker 1: saying that Rick was doing some hindsight when it comes
Speaker 1: to Jalen Chaplin and the Canucks. This is good. Though
Speaker 1: we can cry about missing out on guys we didn't develop,
Speaker 1: but what about Joshua Sherwood, Garland and many others. Those
Speaker 1: are all guys that came in as nobody's in the
Speaker 1: Canucks developed them. Dakota Joshua's one, specifically Rick and Dakota Joshua.
Speaker 4: Those guys aren't winning Stanley copp No, but guys the
Speaker 4: Canucks are letting go or winning Stanley Coppers.
Speaker 1: That's a big difference. Sure.
Speaker 8: And also Garland got traded for a ninth World exactly, da.
Speaker 5: Quota joshuas struggled this year in Toronto.
Speaker 1: Okay, but hold on, he's had some health considerations that
Speaker 1: have played into his struggles since that time, exactly.
Speaker 4: I don't think those are the right. The guy that
Speaker 4: they did develop was Sherwood.
Speaker 1: Developed.
Speaker 5: Sherwood went salary wise to a crazy number. Yes, went
Speaker 5: from under a million to five. Yes.
Speaker 4: And and that's the guy if you want a pinpoint.
Speaker 4: But to say Joshua who struggled this year in Toronto
Speaker 4: with injuries, and uh, also, who's the other guy?
Speaker 8: Garland?
Speaker 1: Garland Garland. I went to lump in here because you're right, Quinn,
Speaker 1: he was part of a pretty expensive trade package. But
Speaker 1: but but you.
Speaker 4: Can absolutely say Orsling was a draft pick they gave
Speaker 4: up on quick quickly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: He uh, what's his name?
Speaker 4: Chaff Field was a signing by the Canucks out of
Speaker 4: the OHL. He was young too. So you had these
Speaker 4: kids when they were young, you could not develop them.
Speaker 4: They go on to win Stanley Cups elsewhere and play
Speaker 4: significant roles.
Speaker 1: That's a big difference.
Speaker 4: I would also put pot holes in there too, Pod Colson,
Speaker 4: but he hasn't.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know, but he's still he's still developing.
Speaker 1: Was absolutely. I'd say they developed Dakota Joshua. And by
Speaker 1: the way, one of the guys apparently that was responsible
Speaker 1: for finding Dakota Joshua was Ryan Johnson.
Speaker 4: Ryan Johnson played a big role in Why Dakota josh Vancouver?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, Okay, big Ryan now featuring Quinn Taylor.
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, so. Well, the first thing I wanna show you,
Speaker 8: guys is that when I actually asked you a question,
Speaker 8: Jordan's Stall he won Con Smythe yesterday, he was the
Speaker 8: oldest Con Smith winner of all time? Who was the last?
Speaker 8: Who's the second oldest winner?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 1: I saw this, did you see it? It has a
Speaker 1: twenty eleven connection, right, that's Tim Thomas, Tim Thomas, Tim Thomas.
Speaker 8: So Tim Thomas won it, yes or Tim Thomas was
Speaker 8: the oldest player before Jordan Stall won the Con Smythe
Speaker 8: and then Jordan Stall won it yesterday, taking over the
Speaker 8: oldest player ever. Which is crazy too because it's like
Speaker 8: him when they went in a two thousand and nine
Speaker 8: Yeah with the pe Penguins, Ye seasons, all that time
Speaker 8: of between. It's kind of like last year two with
Speaker 8: Marshawn when he won in twenty eleven and had the
Speaker 8: long gap in between the four, winning again of Florida.
Speaker 1: So am I the only one? I don't get this
Speaker 1: debate with who was going to be the guy to
Speaker 1: win it? Really, who's it going to be other than
Speaker 1: Jordan Stall.
Speaker 8: It's not like Jordan Stall had an insane like entire
Speaker 8: all four rounds. It it's not like he was the
Speaker 8: best player every single round.
Speaker 1: But let's be honest.
Speaker 8: It's not the finals NVA. Yes it is, but it's not.
Speaker 8: It is, but it's not. It is, But the NBA
Speaker 8: one is called the NBA Finals. Sure, this is, this
Speaker 8: is the playoffs for everything. But this is this is
Speaker 8: what it always has been. It always has been this way.
Speaker 4: Right when he had six goals and six games, he
Speaker 4: was almost seventy in the face off, sir Ya. When
Speaker 4: he scored the two goals in Vegas, John Tortorella went
Speaker 4: out of his way? Where did he score the two goals.
Speaker 1: In front of the net?
Speaker 4: John Tortorella went out of his way. We got to
Speaker 4: fix that. That guy is getting there. He's doing too
Speaker 4: much damage in front of the net. Yeah, when the
Speaker 4: other coach goes out of his way to mention you
Speaker 4: without being asked about you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had a great final.
Speaker 8: It is, but I think it's it's more about all
Speaker 8: four rounds, that's what it's called. But it's not I
Speaker 8: still probably would have voted for him. So this is
Speaker 8: this is weird for me saying this. But Taylor Hall
Speaker 8: and Stan Covin and all those guys they probably had
Speaker 8: it like out of all the four rounds, they had
Speaker 8: way better playoffs.
Speaker 1: Okay, but so then so based on that though, then
Speaker 1: it should have been Marner. But what happened with Mitch Marnos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you see, I mean, look at McDavid won it
Speaker 1: right here. They want it. But you're right, it doesn't
Speaker 1: happen often. But Marner had a quiet Stanley Cup final
Speaker 1: though as well, especially the outside of the hat trick game.
Speaker 1: Right outside of that one game, he had a quite
Speaker 1: so I think that hurt him in winning it. The leader,
Speaker 1: by the way, in terms of points for the Hurricane
Speaker 1: side was Jackson Blake and Taylor He had twenty, Taylor
Speaker 1: Hall had nineteen, and Nick Eithers. By the way, and
Speaker 1: his postgame interview after I think it was Ellie had
Speaker 1: asked him about what he would say to the people
Speaker 1: of Winnipeg, and he got really choked up talking about Winnipeg.
Speaker 1: But he again, there's another move that just fit perfectly
Speaker 1: with that team. They talked about forever needing more scoring,
Speaker 1: and they needed that guy that when you needed a
Speaker 1: goal you could look to him. And Nick Eithers was
Speaker 1: kind of that guy. I just wasn't overly surprised. And
Speaker 1: I saw people the discourse last night of like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I can't believe it's the Jordan Stall story
Speaker 1: was just so good and and and and I think
Speaker 1: you and I agree on this, Queen. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of the time legacy comes into some award voting.
Speaker 1: I hate that I do too, And I think that
Speaker 1: that played here. The Jordan Stall story played here too.
Speaker 1: Not just what he did, like Rick said, six goals
Speaker 1: and six games. I mean, that's impressive feed in itself,
Speaker 1: but the story and the the age and the gap
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, it definitely plays into voting.
Speaker 8: Like if you take off Taylor Hall or Stan Covot
Speaker 8: or Blake or any of those guys, they probably don't
Speaker 8: get to the Standing Cup Final.
Speaker 1: No, you know, Freddy Anderson, four lines.
Speaker 4: Everybody contributes. You look at their fourth line and look
Speaker 4: at their third pair. Those guys contribute as well. It's
Speaker 4: a total team effort with that club.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 8: The next I want to show here is at Arlington, Dallas.
Speaker 1: Jerry World.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Jerry's World.
Speaker 1: Uh, what's Jerry's World? The Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
Speaker 4: Okay, you're talking like their.
Speaker 1: P and E or something. I don't know. Jerry World,
Speaker 1: the big building in Dallas, I get it.
Speaker 8: Anyways, after Japan played their first World Cup game, fans
Speaker 8: at the stadium cleaned up not only the bleachers and
Speaker 8: where they were sitting and stuff, but the players. They
Speaker 8: also cleaned up and folded all their clothes in the
Speaker 8: dressing room, which no other team does this, No other
Speaker 8: team in any other league does. This is japan thing.
Speaker 8: They do this every single World Cup, every single sporting event,
Speaker 8: every sporting event, even in Japan.
Speaker 1: They do that. It's amazing and I don't think it's
Speaker 1: featured here. Quinn. There was another photo where all the
Speaker 1: pennies for all the subs would like fold it perperfect
Speaker 1: in a corner.
Speaker 8: And all the garbage bags that you see the fans
Speaker 8: with they brought that all from home. Yeah, they brought this.
Speaker 8: It's not like a gimmick or anything they brought in.
Speaker 8: They did it all themselves.
Speaker 1: Really impressed of Japan and Netherlands. By the way to
Speaker 1: to draw yesterday, some people say most entertaining match of
Speaker 1: the tournament. I'm not going there because the first half
Speaker 1: was a dud. It was the second half where it
Speaker 1: really became really interesting. But it's just these fans, it's
Speaker 1: amazing and the shots of them cleaning up. And this
Speaker 1: goes to something that I witnessed at the fan festival
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Why are some people pigs? Like why like
Speaker 1: we stopped for a.
Speaker 5: Shady break alcohol related? I guess, I mean there's alcohol.
Speaker 1: We stopped stop, we stopped for a shady break. And
Speaker 1: on the grass there there's two cops like with like
Speaker 1: they had mixed drinks in them and they were just
Speaker 1: like discarded on the grass. Can we not take them
Speaker 1: to the garbage can? That's like literally within seeing distance
Speaker 1: of this, Like how lazy? Well, like, why don't we
Speaker 1: just turn into animals? Like at home, you clean up
Speaker 1: your stuff unless you quinn. According to your dad, you
Speaker 1: clean up your stuff. Then we go to like a
Speaker 1: movie theater or sporting event or anything, and it's just
Speaker 1: like we become animals, just leave our crap everywhere. I
Speaker 1: don't get it.
Speaker 8: Well, speaking of that, and this kind of contrast with
Speaker 8: what happened with the japan fans is when the New
Speaker 8: York Knicks they won on Saturday night. Look at sixty
Speaker 8: three people got arrested, four stabbing, yeh one shooting after
Speaker 8: I don't know if you saw some of the videos,
Speaker 8: but people were fighting, going after stats, fans now growing
Speaker 8: school buses.
Speaker 1: I will say, though, sixty three people in the mass
Speaker 1: of a humanity, it's not that much. Now. The shooting
Speaker 1: was also very okay, it was very scary, clearly obvious.
Speaker 8: Okay, but it's sixty three people arrested. But that doesn't
Speaker 8: mean there's not more committing crime.
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, but by and large, and somebody posted a
Speaker 1: video actually so they won on Saturday night, the Knicks did.
Speaker 1: They posted a video of Times Square on Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: It was impeccable. Like the sanitation workers there must be
Speaker 1: the best in the world. There was not a piece
Speaker 1: of garbage. There is no remnants of a massive amount
Speaker 1: of people celebrating that Nicks win on Saturday night. It
Speaker 1: was very impressive, but yeah, there was some damage. They
Speaker 1: destroyed a school bus which the school bus was being used. Actually,
Speaker 1: I think for FIFA transportation.
Speaker 8: That was stupid. That was so stupid. They had like
Speaker 8: ten school buses in the middle of time. I know,
Speaker 8: I know, I know, I know, I know. I don't
Speaker 8: know what they were thinking. I know what it's like here.
Speaker 1: When they had those cars parked right outside of the
Speaker 1: Canada Post Building in twenty eleven, they were just sitting there.
Speaker 1: It was perfect. He was ready. But anyway, the scenes
Speaker 1: out in New York though, were something impressive. I mean
Speaker 1: fifty three years and we talked about this a lot.
Speaker 1: It's a unique situation in that, let's be honest, everybody
Speaker 1: that's a basketball fan there is a Knicks fan. Like
Speaker 1: there's what, there's ten Nets fans. Come on, if any
Speaker 1: of those other teams win in New York, it's split
Speaker 1: much more. This is a universal thing.
Speaker 4: Like when the Devils won the Cup, it was not
Speaker 4: a big deal, no, because if the Rangers win the Cup,
Speaker 4: it'll be like the Knicks. As I think that Rangers
Speaker 4: fans in New York are right there with the Knicks fans.
Speaker 8: Oh no, I don't think you because Rick thing is
Speaker 8: Islanders fans.
Speaker 1: I'll fight you on that. Islanders fans specifically, maybe not
Speaker 1: so much the Devils. There's so many Islanders fans care.
Speaker 8: There's way more like Islanders fans who are Knicks fans
Speaker 8: than there are Nets fans.
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, don't underestimate New York and how hockey crazy they.
Speaker 1: Are, sure, but but there again, it's split. It's like baseball.
Speaker 1: There's a ton of Mets fans. They love their hockey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh absolutely absolutely. But anyway, thank you for that, Quinn,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. You're doing a great job with big guy.
Speaker 1: I'm getting a little nervous. Actually, I might be losing out.
Speaker 1: You might have to zoom in every day from home
Speaker 1: and we'll have.
Speaker 8: One I keep on coming on't I don't get it
Speaker 8: like I've been on Monday in the past like three weeks,
Speaker 8: I know, and I find out like at Sunday nights.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all your pops is planning as usual. It's
Speaker 1: crack system. We got running around here on the other side,

Speaker 1: night in Las Vegas. If there's a better? Is there
Speaker 1: a better? There's no better place to win the Cup
Speaker 1: as an opposing team than Vegas. Oh, like the parties
Speaker 1: built right in, party time, Like even over La New York.
Speaker 1: Vegas built right in. And the Hurricanes had no problem
Speaker 1: celebrating based on some of the videos on social media
Speaker 1: last night, Hurricanes over the Golden Knights three nothing in
Speaker 1: Game six. We're joined now by former NHL goaltender TSN
Speaker 1: NHL analyst co host of Overdrive. He does it all,
Speaker 1: Jamie mcclennan. Jamie, thanks for doing this today. How are you, sir?
Speaker 1: Too bad?
Speaker 9: You guys doing today?
Speaker 1: Very good? Very good. So all of the statistics, Jamie,
Speaker 1: with the Hurricanes are just so impressive, Like they really
Speaker 1: did steamroll the playoffs for the most part. How impressed
Speaker 1: were you by what they did? And were you so
Speaker 1: prized at all? This thing didn't go to a seventh game?
Speaker 9: I was first all work backwards. I was surprised that
Speaker 9: didn't get to a seventh game because I thought Vegas
Speaker 9: was going to have their best opportunity and in their
Speaker 9: best game, and to be honest, I couldn't tell if
Speaker 9: they did or not because Carolina was too dominant. There
Speaker 9: was no time or space out there. Carolina was relentless
Speaker 9: with their four check, relentless on pucks, even offensively. When
Speaker 9: you think that maybe Vegas had a lane to get
Speaker 9: towards the net, there'd be a stick out of nowhere
Speaker 9: that would disrupt the play. And when they did get through,
Speaker 9: Bussy was unbelievable. Now he got a couple bounces, so
Speaker 9: one off with Jack Eichel on the back door, off
Speaker 9: the crossbar, another one that goes on the top of
Speaker 9: the net and drops down. But you need to have
Speaker 9: luck when you're playing well, and Bussy was brilliant. You
Speaker 9: look at Frederick Anderson. To get there was great. But
Speaker 9: for them to only lose three games, and I go
Speaker 9: back to I have to laugh out loud. Do you
Speaker 9: remember when Montreal absolutely destroyed them in that first game?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah?
Speaker 9: And Rod Brandemore's media after the game, I was on
Speaker 9: a panel and I was actually laughing out loud because
Speaker 9: He's like, I've eight years, I've never seen anything like that.
Speaker 9: I've never seen Jacob Slaven play that bad. I've never
Speaker 9: seen our team not check and get away. He was
Speaker 9: absolutely honest and dumbfounded. And I kept thinking to myself, Okay, well,
Speaker 9: you know Carolina is in one that was the exact opposite,
Speaker 9: because every time you thought there was going to be
Speaker 9: a little crack in their play, they bounced right back
Speaker 9: and were able to get to their game plan. And
Speaker 9: you see every interview on the ice last night at night,
Speaker 9: whether it was Jordan Stall or Taylor Hall or Jordan
Speaker 9: Martin Hook, all talked about guys buying in. All talk
Speaker 9: about Rod brandanmore and what he brought and how hard
Speaker 9: he worked for that group. I mean, that is a
Speaker 9: team that emulates their coach and they they just steamrolled
Speaker 9: the playoffs and I'm happy for him. They're a likable group.
Speaker 9: You see Eric Toulski. People are talking about analytics versus
Speaker 9: the eye test.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 9: Tulsky's a brilliant you know, a brilliant guy. I kept thinking, Okay,
Speaker 9: Brandon Bussey, who gets a shoutout last night, was pulled
Speaker 9: off the Waivers, Goss the Spear, who I think was
Speaker 9: the fifth guy they handed the cup to, you know,
Speaker 9: another efficient signing. You look at some of the moves
Speaker 9: that were made stank Hoven, you know, you take a
Speaker 9: big swing and and you know with the moose, and
Speaker 9: he decides he doesn't want to stay. And what happens,
Speaker 9: stank Hoven stays and gets a cup. So Taylor Hall signing.
Speaker 9: You know, people thought maybe Taylor was at the end
Speaker 9: of his career. He finds a way to find a
Speaker 9: home there. All of the moves that Carolina made kind
Speaker 9: of just all fell into into line. And Rod Brindemore
Speaker 9: is the kind of the head of that snake. I
Speaker 9: was very happy for them and to see them win
Speaker 9: last night.
Speaker 1: We got to expand the Brandon Bussy story. Jamie, as
Speaker 1: you said, claimed off Waivers. He made his NHL debut
Speaker 1: in October. Just everything about this guy and he's an
Speaker 1: amazing interview last night postgame, just so humble and just
Speaker 1: pointing to the team entirely. Where do you know we
Speaker 1: get these stories in the playoffs of you know, a
Speaker 1: long shot guy, maybe not a goaltender. But where does
Speaker 1: this story rank for you in terms of these players
Speaker 1: that you see win a cup and it's completely unexpected.
Speaker 9: Well, I mean it's right up there because it's the storyline. Again,
Speaker 9: you know, Frederick Anderson was the guy was twelve and
Speaker 9: I think twelve and two. Yeah, the playoff yeh, I mean,
Speaker 9: unbelievable record, So you're looking at it. He really didn't
Speaker 9: do anything wrong. I don't know if he was dinged
Speaker 9: up or he was obviously, you know, struggling with mental
Speaker 9: health because of Claude Lemieux all of that type of stuff.
Speaker 9: It's a it's an unbelievable storyline and you think about
Speaker 9: it on so many different levels. Bussy won thirty one
Speaker 9: games for them this year. He was on This wasn't
Speaker 9: you know the Jamie mcclennan sitting there on the bank
Speaker 9: for seventy games Like this is a guy who was
Speaker 9: their number one goaltender and they went to Anderson because
Speaker 9: of the experience in the playoffs, and it paid paid off.
Speaker 9: You know, this is a scenario where when you look
Speaker 9: at tandem situations, they ended up having to use both
Speaker 9: goaltenders to get this done, to get this over the line.
Speaker 9: And it's a good lesson for a lot of teams
Speaker 9: that we'll call it. There's thirty two teams in the league.
Speaker 9: There's probably twenty five teams that are in a tandem situation.
Speaker 9: Outside of the Winnipeg Jets, the Tampa Bay Lightning, the
Speaker 9: New York Rangers, that type of stuff that have clear
Speaker 9: cut starting goaltenders. So it is kind of a lesson
Speaker 9: of how you're able to use both goaltenders regardless of
Speaker 9: the situation. They found a way to do it. So
Speaker 9: Bussy's an unbelievable story. I don't know what his future holds.
Speaker 9: I think he's a fantastic goaltender, but you know, could
Speaker 9: you see him having a market correction next year? Maybe
Speaker 9: the teams figure out him a little bit. Him being
Speaker 9: a twenty seven year old rookie. I watched him in
Speaker 9: the AHL All Star Game a couple of years ago
Speaker 9: when he was with Providence. You know, he certainly's had
Speaker 9: a unique career and pathway. I think of Logan Thompson,
Speaker 9: a lefty goaltender who was kind of a erratic in
Speaker 9: the net. Aggressive. You know, Logan has kind of found
Speaker 9: a way to be at the top of the goaltender
Speaker 9: hill and it's taken him a while and a unique
Speaker 9: path as well. So it's a great story for Bussy
Speaker 9: and a great story for Carolina.
Speaker 5: And another great story is Jordan Stall.
Speaker 4: Thirty seven year olds are not supposed to win the
Speaker 4: cons Mike Jamie, what did you think of him?
Speaker 9: I thought he was brilliant and I loved his emotion.
Speaker 9: In his interview afterwards, he was tearing up, saying like
Speaker 9: I just wanted it so much. I mean, here's a
Speaker 9: guy that goes seventeen years in between a Stanley cop.
Speaker 9: You know, wins one as a rookie in nine you think, oh,
Speaker 9: you win something as a rookie, you think that's gonna
Speaker 9: happen every year. Took him seventeen years to raise it again.
Speaker 9: And I was, you know, the con smythe was warranted
Speaker 9: his body of work in the finals. I know Mitch
Speaker 9: Marner had a bunch of points, and I think there
Speaker 9: was a lot of people that thought he was just
Speaker 9: gonna be his regardless, It's just a great story and
Speaker 9: it's nothing to do more. It's more about Jordan Stall
Speaker 9: than it is about Mitch Marner, because I think Mitch
Speaker 9: Marner was fantastic in the playoffs. But I look at it,
Speaker 9: when Carolina needed somebody, they needed a big goal, a
Speaker 9: big play of fasaw, it was their captain that gave
Speaker 9: it to him. So that's that is the definition of
Speaker 9: a consmite for me that I have no problem with
Speaker 9: them giving it to him, and I thought it was
Speaker 9: it was well deserved and just an amazing Another amazing storyline.
Speaker 4: And another one is Campbell River native Rod Brendamor when
Speaker 4: you watch him on the bench or last night with
Speaker 4: the cop with the players, he just looks like a
Speaker 4: player's coach.
Speaker 1: Does he know he is?
Speaker 9: I mean, the most intimidating thing was when he took
Speaker 9: his drencherd off the room and he's in better shape
Speaker 9: than every player in that room. Ingals crazy And honestly,
Speaker 9: I had a friend who was a coach there with
Speaker 9: Rod years ago and to a point where I think
Speaker 9: they had to have I'm not lying. I think everybody
Speaker 9: the organization had to have a conversation with Rod about
Speaker 9: his workouts because he was so intimidating for every player.
Speaker 9: So imagine being a young player coming into the organization
Speaker 9: and your coach is in the gym working harder than
Speaker 9: anybody else in that room. It's almost it's humbling. So
Speaker 9: I think I remember the coach is joking, but it
Speaker 9: was a serious conversation saying like Rod was going to
Speaker 9: have to stagger his workouts to allow the players in
Speaker 9: the gym so that they wouldn't be intimidated by their coach.
Speaker 9: And I don't think it's as much as intimidating as
Speaker 9: he's inspiring. And I you know, you see his micd
Speaker 9: up moments when he comes into the room. He's pacing,
Speaker 9: he's talking, he's he's raw emotion, and what he does
Speaker 9: is he drags it out of those guys. And I
Speaker 9: think that's what's impressible about Rod brandanmore is it's it's
Speaker 9: you know, he's not lying to you. He's just looking
Speaker 9: you in the eyes and say I need more from you.
Speaker 9: You're not working hard enough, You're not doing.
Speaker 1: X, Y and Z.
Speaker 9: And I think players respect that. And if can take
Speaker 9: a look at it, there's a reason why he won
Speaker 9: as a player and now certainly is one as a coach.
Speaker 9: He's a he's a brilliant coach and an unbelievable human.
Speaker 1: So it's a copycat league, Jamie. We see this all
Speaker 1: the time, the winner and then the other team's try
Speaker 1: and duplicate it. I don't necessarily know there's one thing
Speaker 1: the Hurricanes do that's like, oh, yeah, we need to
Speaker 1: add what they have. What can teams add that the
Speaker 1: Hurricanes had.
Speaker 9: I think there's an attitude and a culture. You know,
Speaker 9: I come back to it, and there's I use the
Speaker 9: word likable. They're a likable team. You know, they didn't
Speaker 9: have these these villains. I'm sure there's guys that have
Speaker 9: had checkered pass and struggle a little bit here and there,
Speaker 9: but but you know, once they got to Carolina, they
Speaker 9: all had a defined role. And you know, we're watching
Speaker 9: Chatfield right there. You know, Chatfield's a good, young, good defenseman,
Speaker 9: and you know, people in Vancouver, hey, what what happened? Well,
Speaker 9: he's found a home. And you look at Stankhoven. They
Speaker 9: have to give, you know, they give a lot to
Speaker 9: get him. You know that Ranton and they had to
Speaker 9: give Stankhoven to Carolina for Ranton and if you're Dallas.
Speaker 9: But I think it's the attitude. I think it's the
Speaker 9: culture and it shows that you know, they have superstar players.
Speaker 9: But the superstar players are kind of wired the same
Speaker 9: way as the coach a Hoost Vashna Koff. You know,
Speaker 9: I look at Jarvis, they just they're not these guys
Speaker 9: that are larger than life. They're really good player and
Speaker 9: we'll call them star players. But they play within a system.
Speaker 9: And I don't think they're guys that just hunt points
Speaker 9: and hunt the camera and and and just you know,
Speaker 9: make it all about them. They are really good players
Speaker 9: that fall within a system and fall within a team structure.
Speaker 9: And to me, I don't you're right. I don't know
Speaker 9: how you replicate that. I think what you do is
Speaker 9: you try and have a culture that puts team in
Speaker 9: front of points, team in front of everything. And you know,
Speaker 9: however they came about it, you have to give Eric
Speaker 9: Tulsky and his management group a lot of credit too.
Speaker 9: They swung for the fences. They got rattingen and it
Speaker 9: wasn't going to work there, so they turn them into Stankhoven.
Speaker 9: They tried to get better every year, and they didn't
Speaker 9: give up on the people that were there or run
Speaker 9: them out of town. This is the one thing that
Speaker 9: I can think of. And I don't know how you
Speaker 9: guys will feel about this, but it took that group
Speaker 9: a long time to get over the line. So people
Speaker 9: today are saying, is this more like the Washington Capitals?
Speaker 9: You know, it took ov time over the line. It's possible,
Speaker 9: you know what you could come back to. It's very
Speaker 9: hard to win in the National Hockey League. So if
Speaker 9: you got a really good team, instead of blowing it
Speaker 9: up every summer or laying blame or having to have
Speaker 9: a body on the tarmac, all that guy's got to
Speaker 9: go because of X, Y and Z, maybe it's hey,
Speaker 9: let's load up and go back at it again. How
Speaker 9: many years in a row did Carolina lose in the
Speaker 9: conference final and then they finally pushed through. I think
Speaker 9: if anything, it gives organizations maybe hoped to go. You know,
Speaker 9: we got a pretty good thing here. We need X,
Speaker 9: Y and Z to get over the line. But let's
Speaker 9: stick with it because we just saw Carolina do it.
Speaker 1: Very impressive stuff from the Hurricanes. Very impressive stuff from you, Jamie.
Speaker 1: And I know when you took your shirt off in
Speaker 1: the locker room, much like Brenda More, everyone else was intimidating.
Speaker 1: Oh I know, I can tell intimidated is the wrong
Speaker 1: wordy Oh, so now it's kind of sounding what would
Speaker 1: happen in this room if the exact same thing time.
Speaker 9: I always joke when I played in Florida, Gary Roberts
Speaker 9: walk into the shower, I'd have to wear a wet
Speaker 9: suit up to my neck because I'd be like, I
Speaker 9: cannot be in the same shower as this guy who's like,
Speaker 9: there's muscles on top of muscles. So you know what,
Speaker 9: at Rod Brandanmore is an intimidating figure right now, and
Speaker 9: there would be never I would never take my shirt
Speaker 9: off around Rod.
Speaker 1: That's fair. That's fair, and I think you're in the
Speaker 1: majority on that. Jamie, thanks for this, appreciate it. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to you in a couple of weeks. Thanks for
Speaker 1: having me, Jamie mcclennan from TSN joining us And yeah, Rack,
Speaker 1: just very impressive stuff from the Hurricanes. So many different storylines,
Speaker 1: Jamie said. It just seems like every move they made
Speaker 1: just all fit together. The puzzle just works so perfectly,
Speaker 1: and here they are winning the Cup.
Speaker 4: Analytics twelve million under the cap, so much to learn from.
Speaker 1: Teams of Canucks have been.
Speaker 4: Either at the cap with no moves, no money for
Speaker 4: a decade yep, and here's a team with twelve million
Speaker 4: under the cap.
Speaker 1: Just want to stand the up. Unbelievable yep. Really impressive,
Speaker 1: really impressive stuff. On the other side, we're going to

Speaker 1: calendar locally, including the BC Lions getting things underway in
Speaker 1: Saskatchewan Yesh Saturday, they lose thirty one to twenty seven
Speaker 1: to the Rough Riders in a rematch of last year's
Speaker 1: Western Final. We're joined now by Nathan Rourke, BC Lions
Speaker 1: quarterback Friend of the program, Nathan, Thanks for doing this today.
Speaker 1: How are you.
Speaker 10: I'm doing well, guys, Thanks for having me so.
Speaker 1: How nice was it to finally get into a full
Speaker 1: game against a real opponent with real results on the line.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it was great.
Speaker 11: I mean, obviously not the outcome that we were looking for,
Speaker 11: but you know, with a week run by, it's a
Speaker 11: little bit of a strange setup. You know, a long,
Speaker 11: longer training camp, a lot of uh, you know, a
Speaker 11: lot of preparing and it's good to just kind of
Speaker 11: get everything going.
Speaker 1: You guys, as you mentioned, come out on the losing
Speaker 1: end of it. What kind of report card would you
Speaker 1: give your team though, in just the first game of
Speaker 1: the season.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it was interesting.
Speaker 11: I mean I think we had basically, I think all
Speaker 11: the all the cards go against us. We had got
Speaker 11: the injury bug, especially on offense, a lost bunch of people,
Speaker 11: had two receivers go down out, an offensive lineman go down.
Speaker 11: I had some people moving in some different spots. You know,
Speaker 11: we I thought we had you know, a couple of
Speaker 11: calls that could have gone either way, especially down the stretch,
Speaker 11: and we were still, you know, a possession away from
Speaker 11: from beating the the you know, the raigning champs in
Speaker 11: their in their place, in their building. So obviously, you know,
Speaker 11: we'd love to be able to make plays and be
Speaker 11: able to come out with that with a win on
Speaker 11: that one.
Speaker 10: But it's a long season.
Speaker 11: We know that we're not gonna we don't want to
Speaker 11: peek at you know, game one, and so we've got
Speaker 11: a lot of a lot of things to build off of.
Speaker 11: But we showed a lot of heart short of fight,
Speaker 11: and we I know that we'll have a chance to
Speaker 11: bounce back this week.
Speaker 4: Nathan, twenty seven points should be enough to win a
Speaker 4: football game. I thought you did your job. The defense
Speaker 4: a lot of criticism right now. You know last year
Speaker 4: this happened a lot of drives at the end and
Speaker 4: you lost. But what about the d They could have
Speaker 4: held up a little better there in your eyes?
Speaker 11: You know, for me, I look at it as you know,
Speaker 11: in this league, you know we've got to score thirty
Speaker 11: over thirty as an offense.
Speaker 10: I think that's the way it is.
Speaker 11: And you know, obviously you love to you love to
Speaker 11: get some stops and stuff like that. But I think
Speaker 11: they did a really good job fighting against a really
Speaker 11: good offense. Trevor Harris is one of the best in
Speaker 11: the league and terms of getting the ball out to
Speaker 11: his receivers, and you know, they think they pretty did
Speaker 11: pretty good job limiting a Jla who's a good running
Speaker 11: running back, and they've had a very good running game,
Speaker 11: you know, ever since they've been there. And you know,
Speaker 11: they gave us the ball at the end and we
Speaker 11: had a chance to go down and win it and
Speaker 11: we didn't get it done. So our production the first
Speaker 11: half's got to.
Speaker 10: Be a little bit better.
Speaker 11: Got to be better on a first down, did a
Speaker 11: good job taking care of the ball, but got to
Speaker 11: get the end zone shot for too many field goals,
Speaker 11: and so I look at it that way. We gotta
Speaker 11: score more more points. And player defense in their positions.
Speaker 5: Boy, your favorite receiver was Justin mckinnis eight catches.
Speaker 1: What was going on? What were you seeing with him
Speaker 1: being so open?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I think it's just one of those things.
Speaker 11: You know, you never really go into a game trying
Speaker 11: to get someone on the ball, but he was just
Speaker 11: finding those spots, and he was making some really big
Speaker 11: catches over the middle. You know, we knew going into
Speaker 11: that game that you know, there was gonna be some
Speaker 11: opportunities for that and uh uh. You know, one of
Speaker 11: the greatest things about him is his frame, and and
Speaker 11: you know, he was able to make some catches that
Speaker 11: were just unbelievable and and then take some hits on
Speaker 11: the way down.
Speaker 10: So hats off to him.
Speaker 11: I think that's a testament to not only his natural ability,
Speaker 11: but also to the work he's put in the off
Speaker 11: season to to make to change his body and become
Speaker 11: a super strong guy and work on his frame. So
Speaker 11: happy with that and hoping that we can need to
Speaker 11: spread the ball around to all of our weapons.
Speaker 4: When you have the best quarterback in the CFL, like
Speaker 4: the Lions do, that offensive line is critical. How did
Speaker 4: you think of what did you think about the old
Speaker 4: lines play?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think you know, I think we did a
Speaker 10: great job.
Speaker 11: I mean, obviously with the with the injury, we had
Speaker 11: some guys moving around different some different spots. Operationally, when
Speaker 11: we go into an environment like Sketchwan where it's loud
Speaker 11: and you know it's the first game of the year,
Speaker 11: we got some people playing, you know, some new new
Speaker 11: guys playing up there and specifically in places that they
Speaker 11: haven't played together in those positions before. You know, Corey
Speaker 11: wood Drift has a bunch of snaps, but he hasn't
Speaker 11: played left tackle, and so you know, I think they
Speaker 11: did a really a good job considering you know, I've
Speaker 11: got to.
Speaker 10: Do a better job.
Speaker 11: I think sacks are a statistic that's just about just
Speaker 11: as much on the quarterback as it is on the
Speaker 11: offensive line. It's my job to get the ball out
Speaker 11: of my hand, to go through my progressions as quickly
Speaker 11: as possible, to be able to move in the pocket
Speaker 11: when needed. And I just need to do a better
Speaker 11: job of that than like my feet when I turned
Speaker 11: on the film yesterday.
Speaker 10: So you know, I think I think we need to
Speaker 10: do a better job running the ball.
Speaker 11: Uh, in terms of calling it, I think that we
Speaker 11: showed that we could run the ball throughout the game,
Speaker 11: and we just got to get have a little bit
Speaker 11: more of a balance attack. And I think that starts
Speaker 11: with me making some better decisions and making sure that
Speaker 11: we're getting lined up and being the right spots.
Speaker 1: Nathan, that Oline helped you out at the end of
Speaker 1: the first half there that touchdown, that rushing TD you
Speaker 1: were right there and the big boys came up and
Speaker 1: pushed you into the end zone. I what is that?
Speaker 1: What is that experience?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 1: Are you just trying to hold onto the ball and
Speaker 1: wait for that wait for the help to come behind
Speaker 1: you and get you over that goal line?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean that was the first time that's ever
Speaker 11: happened to me in my U my career, where it
Speaker 11: certainly happened for other players, whether it's a receiver or
Speaker 11: running back where they kind of get held up and
Speaker 11: you know, it's a we always talk about, especially in practice.
Speaker 10: Buck always talked about.
Speaker 11: Following the ball and you know, chasing the ball, and
Speaker 11: and our guys did a really good job. And that
Speaker 11: might have been the biggest hit I took all all
Speaker 11: all game was from from uh Brandon Yates there the
Speaker 11: first one to get that kind of the pilego and
Speaker 11: stuff like that. So that's uh, that's one that certainly
Speaker 11: feel like that one's less of my touchdown and more
Speaker 11: of the offensive line. So hats off to them for
Speaker 11: the for the effort and forgetting me through.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, Nathan, I watched the arrow
Speaker 1: up documentary, I learned a lot about Nate DeMont Nac,
Speaker 1: the first round pick of the Lions in this past draft.
Speaker 1: He didn't play this week and he's hurt, But what
Speaker 1: do you think the ceiling is for him? Because he
Speaker 1: seems like a heck of a player. Yeah.
Speaker 11: I mean, he had a great camp and obviously the
Speaker 11: injury was a little unfortunate because he'd love to continue
Speaker 11: to see his his to growth in his development. But
Speaker 11: you know, I had a great career over it in
Speaker 11: North Dakota and we're we're happy to have him. I
Speaker 11: think he's a he's a great, great, great player showing
Speaker 11: a lot of upside. Love to continue to work with him.
Speaker 11: And I think based on how we're built with all
Speaker 11: of our Canadians at skill positions, I think we have
Speaker 11: some of the the best ratio breakers quote unquote in
Speaker 11: in the league. And I think he's he's just gonna
Speaker 11: add us U a tremendous amount of flexibility for us
Speaker 11: uh down the line. So I mean, he's got great
Speaker 11: players ahead of him right now to learn from and
Speaker 11: and I know he'll continue to put the work in
Speaker 11: to be able to contribute this year or over the
Speaker 11: next couple of years as.
Speaker 4: Well, Nathan. Last one, you guys are living out of
Speaker 4: a suitcase. Saskatchwan now Hamilton, a little bit of a
Speaker 4: short work week and then off to kelowna. Boy, the
Speaker 4: ty Cats just went into Winnipeg dropped thirty seven points
Speaker 4: in a win.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a tough one too. Yeah.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, we're looking forward to this one though.
Speaker 11: I mean, after a tough loss in Saskatchewan, it's it's
Speaker 11: it's not bad to have a short week of although
Speaker 11: we are beat up, but we'll get back on the
Speaker 11: horse quickly. And and uh, you know this is a
Speaker 11: team that, yeah, they put up a bunch of points
Speaker 11: there there, there got some ton of weapons on offense,
Speaker 11: and uh, we know that they're gonna give us our best,
Speaker 11: their best on defense. So we're gonna have to come
Speaker 11: with a great plan and and put together and obviously
Speaker 11: traveling again is is you know, obviously difficult, and we're
Speaker 11: gonna we're gonna we're gonna need our best football for
Speaker 11: this one and expect a sixty minute football game.
Speaker 1: Great stuff, Nathan, really appreciate the time. I know it's
Speaker 1: a busy time for you, obviously. Good luck in Hamilton
Speaker 1: and we'll chat again down the road here.
Speaker 10: Thanks guys, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Nathan Rourke BC Lions quarterback joining us on the program
Speaker 1: and again Rick as I said, a little bit of
Speaker 1: deja vu for me. Had to lead late and let
Speaker 1: it slip away. Defense, didn't, you know, hold things down
Speaker 1: and get it over the finish line for them.
Speaker 4: Well, he's giving you twenty seven to thirty points every
Speaker 4: single game. Yeah, Like the defense can't allow over thirty
Speaker 4: every game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even early on in that game it's Saskatchewan
Speaker 1: was moving the ball with will. I don't know. They
Speaker 1: gotta figure some things out there. It's only week one game, yeah,

Speaker 1: on their renovation by following them on Instagram at Whister Golf.
Speaker 1: And don't forget pro Shop and Driving Range are open
Speaker 1: during the summer as well. So this renovation, Rick, that's happening.
Speaker 1: It's the they're getting new greens installed, new irrigation is
Speaker 1: starting to get installed, and they're preparing for sotting. So
Speaker 1: this is a hell of a project they're undertaking. And
Speaker 1: like like they are moving a lot of earth around
Speaker 1: at Whistlir Golf, so it's gonna be spectacular when it's done. Okay, quickly, Rick,
Speaker 1: this is something a little different. This is a tweet
Speaker 1: I've got from Kevin Newon from the San Francisco Standard. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is the press box at Levi's stadium. This is
Speaker 1: how uh hard FIFA takes, how seriously FIFA takes covering
Speaker 1: up non sponsored material. All the press box condiments that
Speaker 1: are not FIFA partners, they get a black label on
Speaker 1: them so you can't see them. She got like Frenches,
Speaker 1: Mustard Hines, catch up. They don't sponsor FIFA. They don't
Speaker 1: get any sort of coverage during the World Cup. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It's incredible, all these stadiums, like, for instance, this game
Speaker 1: being played at Levi's Stadium, the massive Levi's logo up
Speaker 1: at the top. It's covered up. It's just San Francisco Stadium.
Speaker 1: You don't see it. It's the honest. It's the one
Speaker 1: good time for BC plays not to have a naming
Speaker 1: naming rights partner because it can still be just BC
Speaker 1: Place Stadium, because there's nothing to cover up or worry about.
Speaker 1: But I cannot believe somebody actually went through the press
Speaker 1: box and went, Nope, nope, you're not one of our partners.
Speaker 1: We're not talking about you during the World Cup. Well
Speaker 1: why not strike a deal to just have their products? Well,
Speaker 1: they didn't want to buck up. I guess. Wow, you're
Speaker 1: familiar with press box food. A lot of the media
Speaker 1: is familiar with the press box meal.
Speaker 4: Well, no, because I don't go to the games anymore.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. When I did, you had a
Speaker 1: lot of bad coffee.
Speaker 4: All the food was free at Canucks games, and then
Speaker 4: now charges and now they charged the media.
Speaker 1: Okay, birthdays, all right, Quinn, get her up.

Speaker 1: going with it. It's definitely a unique look. And I'm
Speaker 1: a big I'm a big fan of them. I'm curious

Speaker 1: he would get him into shape.
Speaker 4: It's not like Peterson shows up to camp and he's
Speaker 4: thirty pounds overweight.
Speaker 1: It's not that.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of guys showed up to camp
Speaker 4: last year not in great shape. I think Ryan Johnson
Speaker 4: is going.
Speaker 1: To fix that. Justin and east Van. Is it just me?
Speaker 1: But if the New York Knicks can win a title,
Speaker 1: then there's hope for the Canucks to win the Stanley Cup. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of people that saw for
Speaker 1: the first time a championship on the New York Knicks,
Speaker 1: considering it was fifty three years between their last one
Speaker 1: and the one on the weekend. So and by the.
Speaker 4: Way, the Rangers ninety four Stanley Cup parade was one
Speaker 4: point five million people back in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 1: That was a massive, massive number.
Speaker 4: If the Rangers win it today, obviously there's gonna be
Speaker 4: more than one point five million.
Speaker 1: There you go, you another one?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do, Hi boys shwin here?
Speaker 4: Can you imagine if we traded pd to Carolina when
Speaker 4: they were invested and interested in him, and he hoisted
Speaker 4: the cup yesterday? How would the Canucks fans feel about that?
Speaker 1: There you go? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean would they won the Cup with it? Would
Speaker 4: they have won the Cup if.
Speaker 8: Their lineup exactly would not have won the Cup if
Speaker 8: he went there, wouldn't have No, would have ruined their
Speaker 8: whole thing because his production drop.
Speaker 4: He went from one hundred points to fifty.
Speaker 1: Well you also could they have made other moves that
Speaker 1: they did? I'm not so sure. I mean, the Taylor
Speaker 1: Hall signing is crazy? Uh, Dave from the couch and
Speaker 1: is it just me? But if Adam Foot gets hired
Speaker 1: by the Mammoth, would he then be referred to as Bigfoot? Bigfoot?
Speaker 1: You get it, mammoth mammoth foot, won't you? Okay, you're
Speaker 1: short of there. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Adam Foot, by the way, is talking to Utah right
Speaker 4: now about a possible assistant coaching job. So we'll see
Speaker 4: if they can close that deal. And then you remember
Speaker 4: Bigfoot right in the eighties.
Speaker 1: I know, big that's not specific to the eighties exactly.
Speaker 1: Just listen to me.
Speaker 4: He's talking about Adam Bigfoot. I'm talking about the real Bigfoot. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I know, he's not specific to the Yeah, but the
Speaker 4: six million dollar man.
Speaker 1: When they showed the episode of a Bigfoot it was
Speaker 1: but Quin's right, it wasn't just an eighties He's listen
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 4: We as kids were scared back then, all right, he
Speaker 4: Bigfoot was real. It scared the hell out of us.
Speaker 4: And I'm talking about kids in elementary school. I don't
Speaker 4: know about the high school guys.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, wrap pop. The final segment of the show,
Speaker 1: Next got a couple of photos, poll question much more.

Speaker 1: one final time during the live portion of the program.
Speaker 1: Come sit and stay at the Dog today, Rick, all.
Speaker 5: Right, get her up. The Waddling Dog pop pole question.
Speaker 4: And it is concerning the Carolina Hurricanes winning the Stanley
Speaker 4: Cup last night. So the NHL is a copycat league.
Speaker 4: So we're gonna ask what should the Canucks learn from
Speaker 4: the Hurricanes? And look at this, everything is leading the
Speaker 4: way at seventy percent. They managed the cap better in Carolina.
Speaker 4: They got twelve million to play with and that's was
Speaker 4: heading into the finals. Improve analytics. Carolina's analytics are very
Speaker 4: very strong and don't worry about size. Some of their
Speaker 4: best players are small guys stan Cove and Blake and Jarvis.
Speaker 4: They're not six four two twenty and all three had
Speaker 4: incredible playoffs.
Speaker 1: So there you go.
Speaker 4: Everything is what the Canucks need to approve.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are calling for them
Speaker 1: to beef up their analytics department over here. Look, there's
Speaker 1: some hot takes about how Tolski's revolution hockey after last
Speaker 1: night's win. But I think it's fair to say they
Speaker 1: could spend a bit more the Canucks could on analytics.
