Yes, yeah, Well 21 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:08.920 we're going to talk hockey in a second, but we're 22 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.640 going to go overseas for a moment here to start 23 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.079 the show, we understand that a new pope has been selected. 24 00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:20.719 White smoke has emerged from the Sistine Chapel. There you 25 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.120 go a couple of seagulls wondering what the hell is 26 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.280 going on? And I don't know if you've seen pictures 27 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:27.519 of this, and I don't know if we have them, 28 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.400 but the crowd assembled there is just amazingly large, I 29 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.120 guess not amazingly large. It's hundreds of Yeah, it's been 30 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:43.040 that way. Yeah, there you go, going back a gazillion years. 31 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.400 So we were thinking that should the Canucks do this? 32 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.719 And I hope I'm not insulting anybody here, but should 33 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.640 the Canucks do this when it comes to the hiring 34 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.000 of a new head coach? Set up a smoke stack 35 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:03.000 on top of Rogers Arena. Black smoke they haven't made 36 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:06.599 it comes out they haven't made a decision yet. They 37 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:11.360 make a decision, and not white smoke necessarily, maybe blue 38 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.960 and green smoke, blue and green, something like that. But 39 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.879 I don't know, is it a chance you're an idea there? 40 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.360 I mean, is there something that's the idea right there? 41 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.879 The idea they could generate revenue. Look at the crowd there, 42 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.479 and there would be people I guarantee you because you 43 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.719 know a Knuck fans lineups, lineup, can see what you 44 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.560 want about conduct nation. They love their hockey team. There 45 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:36.039 would be people outside of Roger's arena from the moment 46 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.560 that that situation starts till the very end. 47 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:45.479 Days on end, line up line up, the world evolves 48 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:46.319 around the Canucks. 49 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.840 We know, just the thought, Yeah, you could sell tickets, 50 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.360 make tons of money, souvenirs, that sort of thing. Ryan, 51 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.479 You're not having any of this. I understand, well. 52 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.360 And all, I mean I came up with this entire 53 00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:59.479 thing before the show that you've completely ripped off. 54 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.280 As I addicted, Well, you know what, Ryan, in terms 55 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.039 of if we had a rip off O meter you 56 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.439 you would be losing. Yeah, no, you would be winning 57 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.919 in a big, big way. I think you could have 58 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.439 a lot of fun with this. You know. 59 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.280 Then then we don't want to you know, it's not 60 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.479 I mean, this is look at those pictures. I mean 61 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.919 it's amazing. What it means to these people is amazing. 62 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.280 But I'm just saying I think. 63 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.439 It would go over the Georgia Vada. Can you imagine that? 64 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.280 But you see the Blues Folke emerged, they had a 65 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.479 new head coach. Yes, who is it? Your son? 66 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.319 Quinn said, maybe you could you know, the steam clock. 67 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.400 Could it be involved some way, right, because the steam 68 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:38.120 comes off of it. 69 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.879 I mean you could there could be it would be 70 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.520 easier to generate revenue and everything comes down a month, right. 71 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.840 Oh boy, do we know that Toyota Plaza opposed to 72 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.319 gas Town where they you know, true traffic in the way. Yeah, 73 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.919 just a thought, and I know again Francesco watches the show, 74 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.039 so you know it'll be a good idea, a little 75 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.199 bit of fun. He watches for sure. 76 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.039 There's no question speaking of it would be concerning weeks 77 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.240 and weeks and weeks day after day black smoke? 78 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.520 The hell are they doing in there? They go? Nothing 79 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:16.439 going on? Yeah, going into next year? They have what 80 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.480 if it? What if it's an intraim head coach, you'd 81 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:19.680 go with the. 82 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.759 Half half smoke, half smoke, puff one puff, half smoke. 83 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.639 Like you if you're saying blue and green smoke, maybe 84 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.720 just go green smoke. You know, it would lend a 85 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:36.360 new meaning to the phrase put that in your pipe. Yeah, 86 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.240 it would put that in your smoke's deck and smoke it. 87 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.079 There's now been three popes in the time the Canucks 88 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:44.720 has been looking to build a new practice. 89 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.639 So again you ripped that off, Rob Williams. Rob Williams, 90 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.920 did that not, Rob william Absburg, Braiden from Absbury, come 91 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.120 up with your own thoughts. Braid I did with this 92 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:56.199 idea exactly. 93 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.639 Braiden from Abersburg texted that and the Delaney's Oka turn 94 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:01.519 Langley now speaking of. 95 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.279 The Canucks, one of their candidates for the new head 96 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.720 coaching job, and you know, maybe maybe this will happen, 97 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.199 and maybe there'll be a smoke stack installed on top 98 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.639 of rogers are in and maybe this will happen, and 99 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.839 the blue and green smoke will be for Manny Malholtro. 100 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.800 The abbats Ford Cannucks went again last night, three to one. 101 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.079 They're up too to one now on the Coachella Valley. 102 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:29.279 I was gonna see Cowen. Coachella Valley Firebirds second round 103 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.720 called a Cup of Playoffs. Game four Friday at Abasford. 104 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.199 The Green clad Baby Canucks can wrap it up if 105 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.199 they lose that game. Game five is set for Sunday. 106 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:41.079 That's anabash. 107 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:43.639 That's Nate Smith scoring to make it one nothing. The 108 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.079 Absford had no shots on goal in the first fifteen minutes. 109 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.240 Rob Williams had that too. She loves this great net, 110 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.040 but this is a Nate Smith uh with the goal 111 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.000 right there and to give Vancouver one nothing lead. 112 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.079 Well, one of the big stories coming out of this, 113 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.959 other than the fact that habits for it seems to 114 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.240 be on the verge of advancing, is that Jonathan Lecermackie 115 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.040 played his first game in almost two. 116 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.120 Weeks on the top Here's the assist right here. He 117 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.480 gives it to Kudrya, who the shot from the point 118 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.240 gets to everybody, Amaze the players, Lacara Maki on the 119 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.560 top line with Sasan and bangs last night. So after 120 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.439 a couple of healthy scratches, here's the other one for you. 121 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.160 Don okay, let me stop. You're out there because you 122 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.399 hear conflicting things healthy scratch or is this the recovery? 123 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.959 Was it the recovery from oral surgery? I'm telling you 124 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:32.920 he is open. Why do you get up? Said that? 125 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.600 But because I've told you a hundred times and he 126 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.279 is okay from the dental surgery. He played a ton 127 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.399 of games after the dental surgery. You know, it's not 128 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.680 like he just stopped playing because he had an abscess. Too. 129 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.639 I'm just asking. No, it seems strange that he would 130 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.759 go from being a healthy scratch to what you just said. 131 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:51.439 The first line. 132 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.240 The first line sasan and bangs last night the Maxisan. 133 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.360 But anyways, here's the good thing for Lakara Mackie. Guess 134 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.439 who was in attendance last night. Jim Rutherford, Patrick Alvin, 135 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.920 the big shots, the big dudes, they're all. 136 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.839 Emily cast On gay and so they all went out 137 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.879 last night. And you know what after the game, look 138 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:17.879 about Well, maybe isn't there a red Robin in Abmosford? Yeah, 139 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.439 I'm sure they went to the Red Robin afterwards. It's 140 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.120 not okay to go to Red Robins. There's not a 141 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.160 red Robin and it's okay to go what's wrong with 142 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.360 red Robins. There's one in Bellingham at the be There 143 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.560 is one at atmosphd My bad. There. You go right 144 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.519 at this club right off the highway, the high Street 145 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:33.360 area there there. 146 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.720 Fries at Red Robin are massive, massive fries do well. 147 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.839 Bottomless too, oh bottomless and massive huge. They're more almost 148 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:41.720 wedges the. 149 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:44.560 Tim Orton's wedges. 150 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.279 Yeah, yeah, they're not as thick, but they're very very good. 151 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:49.920 Red Robin though, used to be like a Kitschy family 152 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:52.639 place and now it's like scruced up. Remember they used 153 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.439 to have like the train going around well the first day, 154 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.959 if it was your birthday, they'd sing Happy Birthday to 155 00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:58.519 a lot of rest. 156 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.759 But they got that fun little song half you know, 157 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:04.160 like a birthday. How many times did you go there? 158 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.839 Because I tell you we when we were there recently, 159 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.959 like six months ago, the Langley one. 160 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:09.360 They did it. 161 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.639 They did a happy birthday for someone and Max was 162 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.120 just amazed. And then the Robin came out in. 163 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.439 The costume that free did freak come out? No, No, 164 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.759 he was cool with it. It's it's like a harder 165 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.720 stand that Robin came out in the costume last night 166 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.680 and he got scared. Yeah, I guess. 167 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.000 They didn't go to Red Robin though, by just I 168 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:29.360 just he said did they go out? 169 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.440 And I said, well, there's probably not there, Okay, they 170 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:33.720 probably maybe not. 171 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.759 Maybe it's so unexpected they did it. 172 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.519 Yeah, well it depends on their expanse account. 173 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.159 Right, they're all going through the McDonald's drive through after 174 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:43.639 the game, so there's only. 175 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:47.759 Have Okay, back to Manny Mahultre, who's obviously a candidate 176 00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:49.440 and become head coach. The next head coach of the 177 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:53.240 Vancouver Canucks. We got this clip right here. He is 178 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.320 post game in the wake of amas Thur's three to 179 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:57.600 one win over Coachella. 180 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.480 The overall game we played it was very, very much 181 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:05.080 like we've done all year. It was by committee. We 182 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.039 had contributions up and down the lineup, throughout different swings, 183 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.600 the momentum swings in the game. We had different people 184 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:17.200 able to control play for us. Systematically, we did a 185 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.240 much better job of limiting their transition. Obviously, they started 186 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.360 real hot coming out with I think the shots are 187 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.440 seven nothing at one point, but our overall ability to 188 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.200 capitalize when the opportunities were there and stay with it 189 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:32.200 to the end was a big factor for us. 190 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:34.720 Okay, so this is going to lead to our waddling 191 00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:36.679 dog a pull question we'll get. We'll get to that 192 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:38.799 in a second. But you listen to that guy talk, yeah, 193 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.559 and you see what's happening in Abbotsford, not just what's 194 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:43.960 happening in Abbotsford in terms of their success on the ice. 195 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:45.799 And I know we talked about this earlier in the week, 196 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.639 but all those Abbotsford players who came up to the 197 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.840 NHL level with the Vancouver Connection and looked just fine. 198 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.559 They performed very very well. So it seems like that 199 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:59.679 development model, led by many Malholtre and others, is working 200 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:01.679 very very well. You tell me, just listening to him, 201 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.480 tell you that guy's not ready for the National Hockey 202 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.919 League at the very least, he's close. He's close. You 203 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.440 want to I can't. I I it's it's interesting because 204 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.039 I don't think you want to lose that guy. And 205 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.279 again I know I talked about this. You don't want 206 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.080 to lose that guy if he's not the new head coach. 207 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:17.919 Did they lose him a year or two down the 208 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.639 road to someone else? See an interesting kind of a 209 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:21.960 pleasant problem for the coming. 210 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:23.559 Absolutely, you got a good guy in the system. Keep 211 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:24.720 them bottom line. 212 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.000 Wattling Dog pole question. Visit one of Victoria's favorite pubs 213 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.759 where you can enjoy twenty taps and twenty screens your 214 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.879 home for the Canucks in UFC. Come sit and stay 215 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.960 at the Wattling Dog Today. Rick Ryan got her up. 216 00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.840 The Wattling Dog pop pole question. 217 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.559 Is Manny Mahultra is a one successful season in Avisbord 218 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.480 enough to make him the next Canucks head coach. Forty 219 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:49.799 one percent say yes, but fifty nine percent say no. 220 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:53.679 Over seven almost eight hundred votes already. And one of 221 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:58.320 the things that will dictate Mahultra is again it comes 222 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:03.039 back to the owner and salary. You think, so, yeah, Donny, 223 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.080 he's not getting four to five million, he's got no 224 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.039 NHL coach. So if you want to spend two million, 225 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:10.679 then you'll go get Manny Malultra. If you want to 226 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.519 spend they may talk at an offer over four million. 227 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.480 So if you're not giving him for over four million, 228 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.360 not a hope in hell. So the money that the 229 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:22.360 owner is willing to pay for the head coach is 230 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.679 going to dictate who you get a name guy, experienced guy, 231 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:29.600 or a rookie. I mean, I think what their budget 232 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:31.480 for coaching is is going to play a big role. 233 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.639 But there's no cap on coaches. I know that. 234 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.679 But the owners still got to make a decision. They 235 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.039 were given talk at two seven. They went over four 236 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:40.320 million for him, right, But are they going to go 237 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.360 over four million for Manny? 238 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:41.559 No? 239 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:42.360 No, no, no. 240 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.240 But so it kind of tells you what the owner 241 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.679 is willing to pay is going to dictate what kind 242 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:47.360 of coach you get. 243 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:49.600 But then again, you can spend a whole bunch of money, 244 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.279 yes on an experienced a head coach, and he might 245 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.840 not be as effective as many most Absolutely, again, it's 246 00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:59.080 an interesting, interesting situation for the Canucks. 247 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:02.360 He's got seven years as an assistant coach in the NHL, Manny, 248 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.399 Rod Brindemore went from an assistant and has been fine. 249 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:08.399 Rod Brindemore, in my eyes, is one of the best 250 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.639 coaches in the NHL Top two, top three. He didn't 251 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.759 have any head coaching experience before he got the you know, 252 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.159 Bill Peters left and they moved him up. So you know, 253 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.039 there's an example of giving a guy a chance, Rod Brindemore, 254 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:22.159 and he's been great. 255 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.320 Okay, So again, Game four Fridday and Abbasford out there 256 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:31.000 at the Abbotsford Center lose. If Abbotsford loses, Game five 257 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.279 is set for Sunday again in Abmospherd. 258 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.200 And fifty three hundred last night in Abasberg. Not bad 259 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.120 for you know, Wednesday night, Donnie, that's great Game four. 260 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.440 They could wrap it up tomorrow night and go off 261 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.399 to the Western Conference Final. Game four is tomorrow night. 262 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.200 One person who will not be the next head coach 263 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.120 of the vankor of a Canocks is Joel Quinnvill. We 264 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.559 understand that he has been hired as the next head 265 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.320 coach of the Anaheim Ducks. We'll get into that a 266 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:02.159 little bit more. But Rick, we understand Rick Tockett interviewed 267 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:02.759 for that job. 268 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.360 Yeah, he's been interviewed. He's working on an interview with 269 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.360 the Boston Bruins as we speak. I mentioned the Bruins 270 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:11.759 keep an eye on him. Yeah, they're showing interest a 271 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.320 big time in Rick Talckett. Look, there were seven openings. 272 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.840 Every single team with an opening is going to have 273 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.840 Rick Talckett on their mind. It's not a big deal 274 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.200 that he's interviewing places he was going to get interviewed. 275 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.000 No, a whole lot of second, it is a big 276 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.080 deal that he was interviewed in Anaheim because we were 277 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.559 told by Jim Rutherford that he wants to move to 278 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:34.080 the eastern part of the US absolutely in order to 279 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.759 be closer to his family. 280 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.080 Absolutely. And I do say this too. I said yesterday 281 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.480 that comment by Rutherford caught people off guard. I do 282 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:47.240 not believe he ever. From day one, Talckett was not 283 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.840 going to talk to Seattle and Anaheim and teams on 284 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:54.519 the West Coast. I think something got confused in the translation. 285 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.639 Okay, so we'll deal with that story a little bit more. Obviously, 286 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.200 there's several several levels to that story. Joel Quinnville next 287 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:06.200 head coach of the Anaheim Ducks. That's coming up later, 288 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.799 along with other items. DTMZ. Is it just me coming 289 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:11.960 up in the eleven o'clock hours some big concert news 290 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:15.120 yesterday and today regarding the city of Vancouver. But we'll 291 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:19.559 get into that at DTMZ. Full disclosure. As our friend 292 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.840 Bmack used to say, Devontes is going to join us 293 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:28.759 just after eleven o'clock. We recorded this interview moments ago. Davontes, 294 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:32.440 of course, the pride of Abbotsford. Speaking of Abbotsford, Colorado 295 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:36.480 Avalanche defenseman ousted by the Dallas Stars Miko Ranton and 296 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:38.600 his old buddy in the Dallas Stars in seven games 297 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.159 in round one, he's going to join us in Let 298 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:42.639 me just say this, this guy's one of the best 299 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:46.600 interviews going in not the National Aculete, but all of sports. 300 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.960 He's just a tremendous interview, very honest. Not a fan 301 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:53.840 of the current NHL playoff format, as you might imagine, 302 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:55.799 giving what happened in the first round Big Ride The 303 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.200 Quitter Guy coming up later this hour and up next 304 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.200 from ts en BC Alliance training Camp.

Farhand, 342 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.000 thanks for doing this, sir, Are you or are you 343 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:32.519 You're not in cam lips, I see, are you going 344 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:32.960 up there? 345 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:35.960 I don't know yet. I'm going to try to get 346 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.400 up for a couple of days. But in all likelihood, 347 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:40.599 given the fact that the preseason game is going to 348 00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:43.200 be here really really quick on May the nineteenth, and 349 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:45.079 I'm going to be in Victoria for that game and 350 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:46.720 I'll get a chance to see all of them and 351 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.480 do that, then I may not get up to Kamloops. 352 00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:52.039 But to be determined, certainly the Canduckts have made it 353 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.440 easier by not being around. 354 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.519 Yeah, May nineteenth versus Calgary and the Victoria area for 355 00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:01.960 the second time in less than he far. Ahand we 356 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:06.240 asked this of Ryan brig Maiden yesterday Lion's first year GM. 357 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:09.599 What's a full training camp gonna do for Nathan Rourke 358 00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:11.960 versus last year? Yeah? 359 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.200 Look, I think it can only help him, right, I Mean, 360 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:16.759 this is a guy that just went NonStop for a 361 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:18.880 long period of time and the one thing Nathan doesn't 362 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.200 really know how to do is take a rest. Right, 363 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:24.839 So even in this summer he has been throwing virtually 364 00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:28.039 daily right with Rob Williams, either in North Van or 365 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:29.960 at the Lions facility and Surrey, so he's kind of 366 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:31.920 go go, go, go go, and that's just how he 367 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.359 is and who he is. So the fact that he 368 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:36.839 can actually have an offseason I think is real positive. 369 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.160 In that time, he's gotten to know his teammates a 370 00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:44.480 lot better. You know, we saw Vernon Adams have his 371 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:46.960 own mini camp right where he pays for guys to 372 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.160 come in and they get together and they throw and 373 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.079 they do all of those kinds of things. Well, Nathan 374 00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.279 did that this year, and he got a chance to 375 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:55.680 know everybody, and he got a chance to work with everybody, 376 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.039 and they got a chance to buy into him a 377 00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:00.400 little bit more right. And there's no doubt Awker room 378 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:04.960 was somewhat divided last year. So this whole offseason changes that. So, 379 00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:07.720 you know, the new system, Buck Pierce getting to know 380 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:10.039 all of that, I think he'll hit the ground running 381 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:11.799 and it's a real positive. We're going to see a 382 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.079 better version of Nathan than we did last year. 383 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.079 Well, we know your favorite team, Winnipeg, you've already picked 384 00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:17.960 to win the Great Cup. 385 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:19.720 No, I picked Saskatchewan. 386 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.200 Oh really, wow, it's still in the Prairies, but hey, yeah, 387 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:25.400 you live in Vancouver and. 388 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:28.640 Before the back I picked Saskatchewan to lose the Great 389 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:33.119 Cup to Montreal. So just because I'm a big Davis Alexander. 390 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:36.359 Guy, well, any team but the Lions. But where in 391 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.640 your mind are they going to finish in the West? 392 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.640 And where do you see him in the West? 393 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:45.720 I think the Lions will make the playoffs, but I'm 394 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:47.359 not going to sit here and predict a home field 395 00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:49.519 advantage for a playoff game or anything like that, because 396 00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:51.759 I think this team has a ton of questions, right, 397 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.039 I mean, you know, everybody's gonna want to compare Nathan 398 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:58.279 to twenty twenty two Nathan, and that's an unfortunate comparison 399 00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:01.640 because that was historically good. But we forget that that 400 00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:04.920 team was much better, especially at the receiving corps and 401 00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:07.720
