Speaker 3: Two nothing.
Speaker 2: It's Alva not so fast Coho breath with John Taylor.
Speaker 3: I say that the winner of the draft lottery should
Speaker 3: be the winner of a two man loose.
Speaker 4: And Rick Dolly Wall I had a cherry tree a
Speaker 4: little Ricky. I used to go up that tree and
Speaker 4: just sit there for hours and bunch on New Cherry Years.
Speaker 2: Donnie and Dolly.
Speaker 3: Ten o'clock in downtown. That Gover Bronther Paul Carson Studio.
Speaker 3: Thanks for tuning in, folks. It's Donnie and Dolly the
Speaker 3: team on Check. Don Taylor, along with Rick Dollywall. Ryan
Speaker 3: Henderson is our producer. He is the man at the
Speaker 3: controls our director. The voice of God is Derek Wong.
Speaker 4: How are you Lovely?
Speaker 3: Switzerland over Canada two to one last night or yesterday
Speaker 3: last night? The game shuttered at noon yesterday at BC Place.
Speaker 3: Canada will now play South Africa Sunday in Los Angeles
Speaker 3: in the round thirty two. Canada advanced. That's the good news.
Speaker 3: There is some negative news. We'll talk about that a
Speaker 3: little bit later. Meanwhile, as the press conference Ryan's still
Speaker 3: going on, it is still going so Canucks GM. Ryan
Speaker 3: Johnson is meeting with the media ahead of the start
Speaker 3: of the NHL Draft tomorrow in Buffalo, and as you
Speaker 3: would expect, he's tackling several subjects. Let's start first of
Speaker 3: all with his thoughts, Ryan Johnson's thoughts. So this is
Speaker 3: curtesy'son from Thomas Drantz. Thomas Drantz, our friend from the
Speaker 3: athletic He's going to join us on the show tomorrow.
Speaker 3: First of all, Many Mahultra, and this is taking a
Speaker 3: long time coaching staff, and only his coaching staff, but
Speaker 3: the coaching staff in Abbotsford, Yes, where Ryan Johnson and
Speaker 3: Manny Maultra have left. They have to fill vacancies there
Speaker 3: as at least coaching wise. We got that tweet from Thomas.
Speaker 4: Dress do the honors there, Rick, all right, So Ryan
Speaker 4: Johnson on filling out Manny Malta's coaching staff. Hope to
Speaker 4: have something by early next week. Also, Assistant GM Richard
Speaker 4: Seeley's on his way to hiring a new head coach
Speaker 4: in Abbsbord. And so they're starting to move, Donnie, They're
Speaker 4: starting to move because you know why, you know, what's
Speaker 4: early next week the prospects camp. You know, it'd be
Speaker 4: nice to have a coaching staff in place be checking
Speaker 4: out the prospects.
Speaker 3: Thank you, likely to be playing some of them would
Speaker 3: be likely to be playing in Abbotsford, thank you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3: It is taking a while, but you get the idea
Speaker 3: that this group takes a measured approach to everything, and
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 4: They are very, very patient. Unlike some on Twitter, They're
Speaker 4: going to do it at their pace.
Speaker 3: Either that or there's a lot of people saying no
Speaker 3: to them.
Speaker 4: Possibility. Okay.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, one of the big concerns with the Canucks and
Speaker 3: every Canadian team in the National Hockey League is with
Speaker 3: you know, players, most recently Brady Kuchuk American players leaving
Speaker 3: seemingly left and right for teams in the USA. Ryan
Speaker 3: had this to say, again courtesy Thomas Drants, are we
Speaker 3: paying him today? I think maybe we should courtesy Thomas Grants.
Speaker 3: On the situation with American players and Canadian teams and
Speaker 3: the National Hockey League, Rick.
Speaker 4: So this is what Ryan Johnson had to say as
Speaker 4: an organization and to talk about it. Is it something
Speaker 4: that would make us shy away from drafting a player
Speaker 4: because of his nationality. Not at this point. Why this
Speaker 4: is important is because there is a very good possibility
Speaker 4: the Vancouver Canucks may defense may draft American defenseman Chase
Speaker 4: Reied tomorrow at the number three spot. So this is
Speaker 4: the reason why this quote is very important.
Speaker 3: Well, and plus, you've got a lot of American players
Speaker 3: on the on the team and like going forward, and
Speaker 3: do you do you acquire American players in the future
Speaker 3: knowing that they might bolt at the first opportunity. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's out there.
Speaker 4: Well, and Donnie, they got another high drafted American defenseman,
Speaker 4: z Buuyam who this summer could sign for seven or
Speaker 4: eight years. So there's a lot of Americans on Vancouver
Speaker 4: to discuss about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again I've said this before on the show,
Speaker 3: but American players, unlike Russians and Czechs and Swedes and Finns,
Speaker 3: the only nationality that has that, you know, option of
Speaker 3: playing in their home country in.
Speaker 4: The National Hockey League.
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess you could go to the Cave
Speaker 3: if you're Russian or the Swedish league if you're you're Swedish,
Speaker 3: But in terms of playing for a national Hockey league
Speaker 3: team in their homeland, it's.
Speaker 4: Or the US and that that's it.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's it's it's become it's seemingly becomes trend
Speaker 3: and of course, of course it's it's a concern.
Speaker 1: Okay, the other I've got a new one. Okay, we
Speaker 1: should get to now we're going.
Speaker 3: To talk about moving back in the draft.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's save that one because the main talking point
Speaker 1: this week has been Philip Ronic thank you, right, and
Speaker 1: so Thomas, you got this one. Derek Thomas just tweeted
Speaker 1: this one out moments ago. Ryan was asked if he's
Speaker 1: approached veteran players with no moves and no trade clauses.
Speaker 1: Quote not at this point, specifically ironic. The second part
Speaker 1: adds that they're doing due diligence and if something develops,
Speaker 1: that's when they'll approach Canucks players.
Speaker 3: Didn't say no, Wow, didn't say no. What we said
Speaker 3: not at this.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, which means.
Speaker 3: Maybe somewhere in the near future he will.
Speaker 4: Ask but was it specifically asked the question? Have you
Speaker 4: asked herosas specifically ronic, so he said not at this point.
Speaker 4: So it's a possibility still, But as how can you
Speaker 4: trade him? But nobody seems like nobody seems to think
Speaker 4: that he's available John Shannon yesterday there was another insider
Speaker 4: he's not available. Cannucks want to keep him. They need
Speaker 4: a veteran, they need a captain. There's nothing to signify
Speaker 4: that he's out.
Speaker 3: They can't trade him. He's going to be their captain,
Speaker 3: isn't he?
Speaker 4: Rick, Yes, yes, there's a very good possibility he's going
Speaker 4: to be their captain, is right? Though sarcastic.
Speaker 3: There's no way Philip pron is going to be the
Speaker 3: captain of that hockey team. No way, no chance. I
Speaker 3: think I have a total respect for him as a
Speaker 3: hockey player.
Speaker 1: Rick, right, I haven't. I haven't heard a reporter and
Speaker 1: say that he's available.
Speaker 4: He's not.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a single report that yeah, they're thinking
Speaker 1: about trading him.
Speaker 3: Well then, so things can't come out of the blue.
Speaker 3: They do all the time.
Speaker 1: I know we're just hearing scuttle butt the at least
Speaker 1: at the very least about every other player.
Speaker 3: Well, look nothing, if if he is available and you're
Speaker 3: looking to him, load them you want that news to
Speaker 3: get out there.
Speaker 4: I will.
Speaker 3: I will say that because you want, you want leverage,
Speaker 3: you want competition for him, right, you want you want
Speaker 3: as sweet as sweet a package as possible, And the
Speaker 3: only way you're going to get that is if multiple
Speaker 3: teams are interested.
Speaker 4: But it look not at this point. That's that's his quote.
Speaker 4: That's just quote.
Speaker 3: They are open to this, and of course that's the situation.
Speaker 3: They're in rebuilding. Thirty second, overall, they have to be
Speaker 3: open to pretty much everything.
Speaker 4: They should be open everything except the young guys. But
Speaker 4: you do hear Besser's name, you do hear Petterson's and debrusques.
Speaker 4: But one team told me they have not heard heronic's name.
Speaker 4: So it's jiving with all what the insiders are saying.
Speaker 4: It's just not out there. Done. His name's not out there. Fine.
Speaker 1: He also, I don't know how quickly you can put
Speaker 1: this one up, Derek. Again, we're kind of deal them
Speaker 1: with things technically. But Drantz added a quote from Ryan
Speaker 1: that said, we're in a rebuild, but it's not a selloff.
Speaker 1: Get as young as you can and get your teeth
Speaker 1: kicked in, then think things will naturally happen. We want
Speaker 1: to instantly players, not just with good players, but great people.
Speaker 1: It's not about strip it down as fast as you can.
Speaker 1: That was in connection to the asking about the no moves.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people talking about, well,
Speaker 1: why aren't you why have you already traded Patterson Besser
Speaker 1: Heronic Debraska, like, what's going on?
Speaker 3: Well, first say you want to get the best you'll pifiers.
Speaker 3: But secondly, we talked about this a lot, and I'll
Speaker 3: go back and I talked about this earlier in the week.
Speaker 3: How people have told us that. In the note, Trevor
Speaker 3: Lennon said this, you don't want to lose every night
Speaker 3: eight to eight one. It's demoralizing. Players are going to
Speaker 3: be want or going to young players even are gonna
Speaker 3: want out as soon as possible. If you're gonna lose games,
Speaker 3: you want at least be competitive. Lose three to two,
Speaker 3: four to two, you know, win the odd game and
Speaker 3: go from there. But you can't lose eight two. It's
Speaker 3: also very bad for business.
Speaker 4: You can't lose nine to one. And Ryan, you attacked
Speaker 4: me yesterday when I said the Canucks have four defensemen
Speaker 4: under twenty three and they need veterans to insulate around them.
Speaker 4: And Ryan Johnson just admitted, because that's what's happening. You
Speaker 4: can't have six defensemen in Vancouver under the age of
Speaker 4: twenty three. You can, but sure get.
Speaker 3: A great deal for Ronic, but you gotta go for it.
Speaker 4: Great. You're also much like I said, Yes, you're just confirmed.
Speaker 4: There's all I said. Just also the.
Speaker 1: Notion though of trading veterans and bringing in other veterans.
Speaker 4: But they want some prospects. They want some prospects.
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying though, in free agency whatever, you overpay
Speaker 1: for another veteran type, but he doesn't have the cachet
Speaker 1: of Heronic. You cash in on Heronic and bring.
Speaker 3: In a profile training Heroonic.
Speaker 4: I want futures.
Speaker 3: Yes, you get through free.
Speaker 4: But if you trade Ironic, you're not getting a twenty
Speaker 4: three minute defenseman back. They figured that out. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 4: let let's move on because he you gonna bring you
Speaker 4: sit there now, you're you create this giant discussion. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 4: and you're the one who's on me about keeping on time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and right now we are. But if you keep
Speaker 1: going on about this, we're not going.
Speaker 4: To be Well.
Speaker 3: No, I had to stop you guys before things got
Speaker 3: carried away here more in the World Cup. Coming up later,
Speaker 3: Paul Dolan's going to join us this Alfonso Davies decoy controversy.
Speaker 3: Paul's going to address that. We recorded an interview with him.
Speaker 3: He had some really interesting things to say about how
Speaker 3: Canada may have caught a strange way kind of break yesterday,
Speaker 3: not a strange way South Africa, but with the upset. Okay,
Speaker 3: more on that later. Meanwhile, here's what else is coming

Speaker 4: Are you enjoying the World Cup? Are you watching awesome?
Speaker 6: Of course, of course it's been awesome obviously following Canada
Speaker 6: and make sure you watch those games. But it seems like,
Speaker 6: you know, the venues have been great, the superstars performing,
Speaker 6: so it's been it's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 4: Okay, so let's talk some hockey if you don't mind.
Speaker 4: You you said at the Habs locker.
Speaker 3: Room clean out, it's pretty clear I'll be moving on
Speaker 3: here after fourteen seasons. What's it like living with that
Speaker 3: kind of uncertainty?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know, as you know, playing
Speaker 6: as long as I have, you kind of understand the
Speaker 6: business of it as well.
Speaker 7: And you know, it wasn't something.
Speaker 6: That just dawned on me that day, you know, as
Speaker 6: the season progressed, it was something that was probably being made.
Speaker 5: Clear to me.
Speaker 6: And yeah, and had some tough conversations with my wife
Speaker 6: and family and you know, these were just part of
Speaker 6: the business and stuff that was going to happen, so
Speaker 6: we had time to deal with it. And now I
Speaker 6: think we're we're all just excited for the next opportunity
Speaker 6: and what's next wherever that may be.
Speaker 3: What a career you've had. But how difficult was it
Speaker 3: to be part of perhaps terrific playoff run, but spending
Speaker 3: so much time of watching instead of playing that was that.
Speaker 5: Was the toughest part.
Speaker 6: You know obviously, uh you know, seeing what the guys
Speaker 6: are going through and you know, really feeling like that
Speaker 6: you can help and you can contribute, you know, just
Speaker 6: just not having the opportunity, so you're trying to do
Speaker 6: what you can.
Speaker 5: But you know, it was it was just tough.
Speaker 6: It was tough, as you know, as someone that's been
Speaker 6: doing it as long as I have, there's you know,
Speaker 6: they're just areas where you know, you felt like you
Speaker 6: could contribute and not being able to was was a
Speaker 6: little frustrating, a little difficult, and at the same time
Speaker 6: you feel for the guys going through it and battling
Speaker 6: as hard as they did because they really put their
Speaker 6: bodies on the line, and that was you know, a
Speaker 6: very very exciting run to the city here as well.
Speaker 3: What kind of emotions did you go through, Brandon, Like,
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you read articles, is you being
Speaker 3: treated fairly by Martell Saint Louis? But what what were
Speaker 3: the what were the emotions you went through?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was a.
Speaker 5: Little bit everything, a little bit of everything.
Speaker 6: You know, you're you're disappointed, You're upset, you're you're frustrated,
Speaker 6: you know, a little bit everything. So you feel those
Speaker 6: just like anyone else. But at the same time, you know,
Speaker 6: I also can look back and be so incredibly proud
Speaker 6: of my time here in Montreal and so thankful for.
Speaker 5: Everything and every opportunity that I've had.
Speaker 6: And I don't have a single bad thing to say
Speaker 6: about the organization day I was drafted, you know, the
Speaker 6: Mulson family and uh, you know every coach and GM
Speaker 6: that I've been teammates obviously that I've had over the years.
Speaker 6: I I have no negative words to express. It's just
Speaker 6: nothing but but positivity. And then you know, not many
Speaker 6: people get to play in the city for as long
Speaker 6: as I did. And then you know, at the same time,
Speaker 6: I can be excited about what's next, and that's that's
Speaker 6: kind of where I'm at now.
Speaker 4: Hey, Brendan, you mentioned Vancouver in your year end news conference.
Speaker 4: I love to end up in Vancouver. We all know why.
Speaker 4: But but what would it mean to you to end
Speaker 4: up here in the Lower Mainland with the Canucks.
Speaker 6: I mean, there's just so much, there's so much that
Speaker 6: goes into that that would be good for for me
Speaker 6: and my family. Obviously, you know, my wife is Is
Speaker 6: is pregnant right now. By the time next season starts,
Speaker 6: we're gonna have we're gonna have two little ones under too,
Speaker 6: So that's you know, having family around is something that
Speaker 6: you know, I have to think about when making this decision.
Speaker 6: But on top of that, I grew up in Vancouver.
Speaker 6: I know what that city's like. When the team's team's
Speaker 6: winning and the team's doing well, it's it's such a
Speaker 6: you know, a special place, you know, I uh and
Speaker 6: for the majority of the last you know, a couple
Speaker 6: of decades, that team has been been a very good team,
Speaker 6: and I know how special the city it is. So
Speaker 6: you know, obviously, just just knowing that, you know, and
Speaker 6: obviously growing up in the area, it would uh, you know,
Speaker 6: it would be nice. But like I said it, there's
Speaker 6: so much that goes into it. There's uh, you know,
Speaker 6: you can be interested, but you need someone to be
Speaker 6: interested back. So for me, it's just kind of waiting
Speaker 6: to see where where the next opportunity is and wherever
Speaker 6: that may land.
Speaker 4: Your dad runs uh, one of the best academies anywhere.
Speaker 4: You have a young family at the forefront of all
Speaker 4: your decisions right now, it is family, is it not brandan?
Speaker 5: Of course, I mean that's number one.
Speaker 6: You know, anyone who's had kids understands that as soon
Speaker 6: as as soon as you're you're a parent and a husband,
Speaker 6: you know, those those have to be your top priorities.
Speaker 5: And that's as much as.
Speaker 6: We love the game and as much as we love
Speaker 6: everything that goes into it, and you know, it's just
Speaker 6: it's it's just not as important. And then after you
Speaker 6: take care of your family, you know, you can find
Speaker 6: yourself in a position where you're still able to be
Speaker 6: happy and play the game that we love. But you know, certainly,
Speaker 6: like I mentioned, you know, I have a I have
Speaker 6: an obligation as as a as a father and as
Speaker 6: a as a husband to do what's right for my
Speaker 6: family as well.
Speaker 4: You're leaving one of the best young teams in the NHL.
Speaker 4: If you come to Vancouver it's a rebuild. You went
Speaker 4: through a rebuild in Montreal. How could you help here
Speaker 4: with that experience?
Speaker 5: Well, I just think one of the most important things
Speaker 5: is culture. You see real bill.
Speaker 4: As that go well.
Speaker 5: You see them that you know that seemed to take forever.
Speaker 6: You have to have the right people around and culture
Speaker 6: something from day one you need you can't lose.
Speaker 5: You need to have it.
Speaker 6: I mean, these are young players that are going to
Speaker 6: grow up and be the cornerstone in your franchise for
Speaker 6: hopefully a decade longer, and you want them to understand.
Speaker 5: From a young age, you know, the right way to
Speaker 5: do things.
Speaker 6: And that was something that I was so fortunate about
Speaker 6: as a young player here in Montreal.
Speaker 5: I came in and the group of guys that we
Speaker 5: had was was so good to me and taught me
Speaker 5: so much.
Speaker 6: And you know, there's there's some players around the league
Speaker 6: that just don't have that. If you want, if you
Speaker 6: want to rebuild or a retool or whatever you want
Speaker 6: to call it, to go well, and you know, culture
Speaker 6: is just the number one thing that you have to prioritize.
Speaker 3: Brandon thirty four years old, how much gas is left
Speaker 3: in the tank in your opinion.
Speaker 6: No, I still I still feel as confident as ever
Speaker 6: that I can still play this game. I mean it's
Speaker 6: you know, obviously you see the kids come up there,
Speaker 6: there's talented as ever.
Speaker 5: But you know, I'd given the opportunity here.
Speaker 6: It's just, you know, I just feel more confident, you know,
Speaker 6: in your experience and your understanding of the league and
Speaker 6: different areas to have success and contribute.
Speaker 5: And yeah, you know I'm not done yet.
Speaker 4: I know that.
Speaker 6: I'm just I just need to put myself in a
Speaker 6: position where you know, that opportunity is given.
Speaker 5: And yeah, I'm not worried about the rest of.
Speaker 3: Well, how much has it changed, Brandon, you broke in
Speaker 3: in twenty eleven. How much has the skill level increased,
Speaker 3: especially with the kids through the years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's I mean it's it's a different game.
Speaker 6: It's uh, there's there's things that are easier about there's
Speaker 6: things that are a little less difficult. I always like tell guys,
Speaker 6: you know, when you were when you're playing a back
Speaker 6: to back going out west through California, you were kind
Speaker 6: of lucky to get a point. You know, the physicality
Speaker 6: that those teams to bring, especially knowing that the physicality
Speaker 6: isn't quite where it was, but the speed is much
Speaker 6: higher and the you know, the the skill level of
Speaker 6: the talent every player coming up is. You know, it's
Speaker 6: just at a different level than it was when I
Speaker 6: was breaking into the league. You know, the game hasn't
Speaker 6: evolved and adapted, and that's one of the things that
Speaker 6: I've appreciated most most about, you know, playing in you know,
Speaker 6: a couple of different eras is you understand that and uh,
Speaker 6: and you learn from it and as a player able
Speaker 6: to kind of challenge yourself and adapt as well.
Speaker 3: What are your off season plans?
Speaker 6: Well, right now, I'm I'll be a Montreal for most
Speaker 6: of it, so you know, I've been I've been working
Speaker 6: out and I'm gonna get back on the ice here
Speaker 6: next week and taking care of things.
Speaker 5: So we're you know, giving birth here very soon. That's
Speaker 5: gonna be uh, you know, once we.
Speaker 6: Take care of that, figure out you know, where I'm
Speaker 6: gonna be playing, it'll be uh, you know, something that
Speaker 6: we can kind of adapt to make some changes. But
Speaker 6: for the most part, it's just that you know, be
Speaker 6: around the family, enjoy it. You know, in the mornings,
Speaker 6: take care of what I need to do to be ready.
Speaker 4: Hey Brendan, your history in Vancouver, doesn't you know, just
Speaker 4: go back a couple of years Vancouver Giants. You're one
Speaker 4: of the best alumni. You keep tabs with the Giants,
Speaker 4: I know you do. Ron Toygo and those guys. These
Speaker 4: that team still means a lot to you.
Speaker 6: Of course, of course I think that. I think everyone
Speaker 6: who moves on you take pride and where you came from.
Speaker 5: And you always like to follow it.
Speaker 6: And you know, we got a couple of WESTERNLYU guys
Speaker 6: on the team, and you always when you're you know,
Speaker 6: if the Giants were playing Saskatoon, me and Doccer would be,
Speaker 6: you know, talking about you know, it's just one of
Speaker 6: those things where you never forget where you came from.
Speaker 5: And I'm very proud of be a Giant.
Speaker 4: That was.
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm so thankful.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be anywhere where I am today without everyone
Speaker 6: in my in my past, and the Giants were a
Speaker 6: huge part of that. And getting the chance to spend
Speaker 6: four years with such a good junior organization that again,
Speaker 6: I know a lot of people get that opportunity was
Speaker 6: it was so good for me. You see all the
Speaker 6: pros that come through the organization just.
Speaker 4: Not a flute. You know.
Speaker 6: It happens for a reason and they do things right
Speaker 6: around there. And yeah, as an alumni, we're very.
Speaker 5: Proud of that.
Speaker 3: Okay, get back to working out there, Brandon, and I'm
Speaker 3: not talking about hockey. I'm talking about preparing for two
Speaker 3: little ones under the age of two into the gym, buddy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got any advice, I'll tell you.
Speaker 3: Hey, listen, it is all a blur. I have three
Speaker 3: Rick Scott two. I have blurs because I can't remember
Speaker 3: anything it all. It all went by so quickly.
Speaker 4: Enjoy it. But it's up.
Speaker 5: We're looking forward to we'll see how we do.
Speaker 6: You know, everyone always says it's not like the first,
Speaker 6: but you know, I hope it's exact same because I
Speaker 6: know what I'm doing with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, all the best, Brandon, and we'll see what
Speaker 3: happens in the offseason with your career. Thanks so much, buddy,
Speaker 3: appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Gus. You bet.
Speaker 3: Brandon Gallagher of the Montreal Canadians one more year left
Speaker 3: in his contract AAV of six point five. Is there
Speaker 3: any do we Ryan, was any chance Ryan Johnson met
Speaker 3: Man there's a lot of Ryans around met with the
Speaker 3: media today as we talked about it in our first segment.
Speaker 3: Any chance he hit the subject of Brandon Gallagher at all?
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything posted, and unfortunately, that's kind of
Speaker 1: all I'm going on right now. So I don't know
Speaker 1: if he's been asked about that or not.
Speaker 3: Okay, I mentioned the name Ryan, and I've said this
Speaker 3: before on the show, but I remember at the end
Speaker 3: of his career when he was with the Montreal Canadians
Speaker 3: and he ended up joining the Vancouver Canucks. Ryan Walter,
Speaker 3: Ryan Walter, Ryan, Ryan Walter. His last a couple of
Speaker 3: seasons I believe great was he with the banker of
Speaker 3: a Canucks Burnaby guy and it was a fit back then.
Speaker 3: He helped a lot of young players back then, including Trevor.
Speaker 4: Lind They're working on it, Donnie. They're talking them on John,
Speaker 4: trying to get a deal done.
Speaker 3: Okay, I want to hit the pole now, Ryan, We
Speaker 3: got time, We got time only? Yeah, all right, watling
Speaker 3: dog pole question Away we go experienced one of Victoria's
Speaker 3: iconic destinations, catch the World Cup at the Dog with
Speaker 3: Canada games shown live and loud and all twenty two
Speaker 3: TVs with full sound. Come sit and stay at the
Speaker 3: Walling Dog in Victoria today, Rick, Ryan get her up
Speaker 3: the watling Dog.
Speaker 4: Pop pole question, what is your reaction to the Canucks
Speaker 4: lack of trade activity so far this week? Look at this?
Speaker 4: Sixty one percent disappointed, but forty percent saying, hey, good,
Speaker 4: look at this. Glad they're patient, and Ryan Johnson again
Speaker 4: said this morning, we're gonna be patient. This isn't a
Speaker 4: marathon wherein you're one of a rebuild. Like if people
Speaker 4: want to Fluria trades just for the hell of a
Speaker 4: Fluria trades, it ain't gonna happen. These guys and the
Speaker 4: Sadeine twins and Ryan are not built like that to
Speaker 4: just make a trade to appease a bunch of guys
Speaker 4: on social media. If a trade makes sense, they'll make it.
Speaker 4: If it doesn't make sense, they won't make it. You
Speaker 4: got to make a trade for the right reasons, not
Speaker 4: the wrong reasons.
Speaker 1: By the way, these the live results of the poll
Speaker 1: right now are fifty to fifty.
Speaker 4: Fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so it's it's close.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know.
Speaker 3: I again, they seem to be a group that are
Speaker 3: going to take a measured approach. Yes, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 3: I have to miss Alex Tuck deal. I mean it's
Speaker 3: EP forty eight year in fact eight years, ten point
Speaker 3: five and you can argue that. And again, this is
Speaker 3: a very good hockey player sixty six points last year,
Speaker 3: but he's thirty years old, ten point five av.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the it's the Adrian camp A deal in LA.
Speaker 4: That's the comparable. They got them money. Sure, that doesn't
Speaker 4: mean it's right, though, Hey, somebody thought it was right
Speaker 4: because they paid them that.
Speaker 3: Okay, well we're used to that in Vancouver. Washington's top six,
Speaker 3: top nine forwards, like you saw this all over Turtius today,
Speaker 3: comparing a lot to you know, Florida's as to who's
Speaker 3: got the best if you want to call it, top
Speaker 3: nine forwards in the National Hockey League. Okay, a break
Speaker 3: and up next from Espan our friend Ray Ferraro, He's next,

Speaker 3: on ESPN. Ray, thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 8: I'm good? Actually I got a bonus today. I'm talking
Speaker 8: to Ryan just offline there and he said, hey, you
Speaker 8: know they can see you, but you can't see that
Speaker 8: perfect and never never have I gotten better news. That's awesome.
Speaker 4: Come on, and we understand.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell I know you're a hockey crazy family,
Speaker 3: you're also a soccer crazy family.
Speaker 4: How much are you enjoying the World Cup?
Speaker 8: Unbelievable? I just I love it. You know what, there's
Speaker 8: a couple of things I like. Certainly it brings pride
Speaker 8: right to you know. When I see people walking around
Speaker 8: yesterday with their Canada shirts on, just kind of walking
Speaker 8: around through the day, I'm like, man, it's just it's
Speaker 8: so good to see people proud and like people are happy.
Speaker 8: It's almost like the Olympics, right, It's like, remember that
Speaker 8: everybody's trying to win, but the competition felt different. It
Speaker 8: was like it's all nationalistic pride, and the fans that
Speaker 8: are here are having a great time. We see the
Speaker 8: like the Scots and the Norwegians and the the people
Speaker 8: from the Netherlands are just having like amazing times, and
Speaker 8: I'm like, it's just awesome. We've got we've got our
Speaker 8: TV on literally from noon to ten every day, and
Speaker 8: we're now we're a little sour that the games are
Speaker 8: doubling up because we miss games, right, So yesterday we're
Speaker 8: watching we think it's the important game. We're watching Korea
Speaker 8: and and and then we're then South Africa. But prior
Speaker 8: to that, we were watching the checks and we're like,
Speaker 8: wait a minute, we're watching the wrong game maybe, and
Speaker 8: so so fun to like change over. We just we
Speaker 8: love it. It's it's awesome. I'm so happy it's gone
Speaker 8: the way it had, like the attendants and the marches.
Speaker 8: And we went to the Katar game and we were
Speaker 8: in the march. The kids wanted to go. So we
Speaker 8: get into the building. It's five thousand degrees walking there,
Speaker 8: and I said, the came, I go, this was awesome.
Speaker 8: I'm not so sure I need to chew on that
Speaker 8: red smoke again.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So, but it was so fun, right it was. It
Speaker 8: was great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And well you get a chance to do it again.
Speaker 3: And as good as the games are, the shots of
Speaker 3: the crowd and the fans and the marches fabulous.
Speaker 4: But I'm switching to hockey rate if you don't mind.
Speaker 3: We had just had Brendan Gallagher on the show just
Speaker 3: moments ago. He was great, much much like yourself. Would
Speaker 3: he be a fit with the Vancouver Cannucks might be
Speaker 3: a bit of a stretch. But that story's out there.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So when when Brendan got drafted, of course, you
Speaker 8: know he's a little bit younger than Landin's but I
Speaker 8: knew him through the hockey community here, and you know,
Speaker 8: he was a couple of years behind, like Marty Jones
Speaker 8: and Landon's group, you know, all those guys of that age.
Speaker 8: And he gets drafted and I'm on the radio in
Speaker 8: Montreal and he was just about to get called up,
Speaker 8: and I told Mitch Melnick, who's a legendary radio guy
Speaker 8: in Montreal, he's awesome. I go, you guys will love
Speaker 8: this kid. I can't even begin to tell you how
Speaker 8: much you're going to love him. And he's like, really,
Speaker 8: he's a sixth round pick. And I'm like, I'm telling you,
Speaker 8: just watch him for two weeks and that'll And of
Speaker 8: course they just fell in love with him in Montreal.
Speaker 8: As far as coming here, it depends on what else transfires.
Speaker 8: I think he is a fit because one of the
Speaker 8: focuses has been about building a culture and a team,
Speaker 8: and like, look what Caroline has done. I don't think
Speaker 8: Carolina had the best players, they had the best team,
Speaker 8: Like they built something that was going in step by
Speaker 8: step direction was in one way. It wasn't all over
Speaker 8: the map. And I think Galley would be as someone
Speaker 8: that the younger guys can look at and go, yeah,
Speaker 8: he's not what he used to be. But that guy
Speaker 8: lays his hail on the line all the time, and
Speaker 8: it's in the gym. It's the stuff we don't see.
Speaker 8: It's not just the game. And you can say, well,
Speaker 8: what does that all matter? I wish I could give
Speaker 8: you a reason why it does, except it does when
Speaker 8: the guy you have enough people doing it the right
Speaker 8: way long enough, I think it becomes a legit factor
Speaker 8: in building your team.
Speaker 4: Hey, Ray, do you have a problem if the Canucks
Speaker 4: strap Caleb Maulter annoying the father as the head coach.
Speaker 4: Where's your thought process on that? For me?
Speaker 8: I don't, mainly because I think in some places or
Speaker 8: in some cases, it would be an issue. I think
Speaker 8: each case would be incredibly different because of the dynamic
Speaker 8: between what the father and the son would do. If
Speaker 8: they think Caleb's the right guy, they should take him.
Speaker 8: And the reason is, in most cases, players will outlast coaches. Yes,
Speaker 8: and so if you're making the decision for today because
Speaker 8: you're worried about how an eighteen year old gets along
Speaker 8: with his dad. I think you're I think you're looking
Speaker 8: at this all upside down because Manny. First of all,
Speaker 8: Manny is a special guy. He's different. He is He's
Speaker 8: just he's different. You guys have talked to him enough,
Speaker 8: and we've seen him the way. You know, he was
Speaker 8: a top scorer, he was a high end prospect. His
Speaker 8: career went through, uh, you know, through the mud, and
Speaker 8: he had to reinvent himself as this tenacious, two way, dependable,
Speaker 8: responsible player, and so he had to accept that he
Speaker 8: had to grow and change. And there are a bunch
Speaker 8: of buzzwords to it, guys, but he's just different. And
Speaker 8: I don't and I do think that if Caleb's drafted
Speaker 8: at three, it's not like he's coming here in September.
Speaker 8: There's time for Manny to get his feet on the
Speaker 8: ground as they as all of them grow into this process.
Speaker 8: Henrick and Daniel and RJ and you know, the new assist,
Speaker 8: the GMS and you know and the coach and whatever
Speaker 8: the staff is going to look like. Caleb's going to
Speaker 8: be off doing his thing, and that's up to the
Speaker 8: player development guys to to help with that. That's got
Speaker 8: nothing to do with Manny, and I think that separation
Speaker 8: gives them a little bit of a cushion for Manny
Speaker 8: to be comfortable in implementing the system of play and
Speaker 8: the system of culture that he wants.
Speaker 4: Ray so much talk in Vancouver about Philip Ronick. People
Speaker 4: want him gone, people want him to wave. But Ray,
Speaker 4: you can't have six young defensemen on the Canucks blue line.
Speaker 4: You need some veterans there to insulate them and guide
Speaker 4: them along. What's your thoughts on ironic.
Speaker 8: Well, if somebody blows them away with a with a trade,
Speaker 8: well then you make the trade. If it's a lukewarm offer,
Speaker 8: then you hang. Because here's the thing I when I
Speaker 8: hear this stuff, guys, I almost kind of laugh because,
Speaker 8: on one hand, we talk about at the length of
Speaker 8: what a rebuild is like, it's not going to be
Speaker 8: fast and so, but now you got to you gotta
Speaker 8: trade Heronic because we could get another you know, a
Speaker 8: high draft pick or whatever the bounty would be for him.
Speaker 8: It doesn't have to be today. This is this is
Speaker 8: a longer road than we're just in the the infancy
Speaker 8: of it. It's way easier to offload players than it
Speaker 8: is to bring them in right to get the players
Speaker 8: you want to come out on the other side of
Speaker 8: the rebuild with with Heronic. If there's no deal that
Speaker 8: you know that the Canucks have to take, why wouldn't
Speaker 8: you wait and towards the deadline. It doesn't have to
Speaker 8: be in July and August, in September, it could be
Speaker 8: in March. It could be at next draft. If the
Speaker 8: right bounty is there, you make the deal. As far
Speaker 8: as the young d if they were able to get
Speaker 8: that deal and Heronic is the player that they move out,
Speaker 8: you can find not as good, but you can find
Speaker 8: players to play one in two years to start to
Speaker 8: insulate some of these younger kids. Because you're right, Rick,
Speaker 8: I mean you you could. You could play six young
Speaker 8: guys out there. They'd get their teeth kicked in. That's
Speaker 8: it because I just watched, you know, from five feet away.
Speaker 8: I just watched the Stanley Cup final. Yeah, you tell
Speaker 8: me the young guys playing in that thing. Zero. There
Speaker 8: are men. They've been through it, they've been bounced around,
Speaker 8: they've all had their ups and downs in their career,
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden they're players. They're like
Speaker 8: real players. I'll give you a perfect example, this guy
Speaker 8: I couldn't believe how well he played with Shane gostis
Speaker 8: Bear in the final. He's on his like his fourth team,
Speaker 8: and you know you can't you can't get there in
Speaker 8: a hurry. We'd all love it to happen. Every team
Speaker 8: would love it to happen. So I think Carolina's got
Speaker 8: an amazing, amazing team. I think Rod Brinda Moore is
Speaker 8: as good as anybody that coaches the game. And it
Speaker 8: took them eight years, and how many times did you
Speaker 8: say that's a really good team and they lost again.
Speaker 8: It takes more time than people might think, and you
Speaker 8: can still do everything right and still not win.
Speaker 4: Uh right.
Speaker 3: Connor McDavid said he and Leon drysidele pushed to get
Speaker 3: Mike him a particular push to get Mike Babcock at Edmonton.
Speaker 3: Let's go back a bit to when you were playing.
Speaker 3: Would you want would you want to play for Mike Babcock?
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, well at my as a twenty eight year old, no,
Speaker 8: I think he would have crushed me like Mike is.
Speaker 8: Mike is smart, He is a a really good tactician.
Speaker 8: He is an absolute steamroller and if you're in the way,
Speaker 8: he's going right over Toppy. I've we've heard all of
Speaker 8: these stories about players that didn't like playing for Mike,
Speaker 8: and for various reasons, whether it's Johann Franzen or I mean,
Speaker 8: my comment or cracks me up with this when he
Speaker 8: talks about Babs. But but it's player after player. Daniel
Speaker 8: Winnick was out recently. You know, I've heard enough stories
Speaker 8: from Land and then his short time there about this too.
Speaker 8: I don't hear a lot of guys saying, yeah, you
Speaker 8: know what, I love playing for Babs. I think he's great.
Speaker 8: I hear you hear that about John Tortorella. You hear
Speaker 8: that about Peter Laviolette, you hear about that about Bruce Cassidy.
Speaker 8: These guys are hard asses, and you don't hear that
Speaker 8: about Mike and what So my concern is not that
Speaker 8: it has to be a group hug at the end
Speaker 8: of every practice. But my concern, if I have any,
Speaker 8: would be when he left in Toronto, when he got fired,
Speaker 8: they were a mess and that and that's not about
Speaker 8: what happened in Columbus. That's a whole other thing for
Speaker 8: somebody else to dig into. I'm talking from the hockey perspective.
Speaker 8: The way that coaches have to talk and speak and
Speaker 8: communicate to young players. Now I hear this stuff, you know.
Speaker 8: I listened to Connor's interview and actually, I guys, I
Speaker 8: was quite impressed. I was like, man, he is just
Speaker 8: way well, he's mature. He's like he's on it. Like I.
Speaker 8: The word accountability in Connor McDavid should never be in
Speaker 8: the same sentence in my opinion, that guy, what more
Speaker 8: does he need to be accountable for? When they lost
Speaker 8: in Game seven, you know, two years ago, the people
Speaker 8: come out, I'm reading all over will he ever win?
Speaker 8: Did he do enough to win? He had forty three points? Well,
Speaker 8: everybody's talking what a great playoff Marner had. He had
Speaker 8: twenty nine. He lapped the field. He had forty three points.
Speaker 8: Connor's not gonna be. Connor's not gonna have a problem.
Speaker 8: Like Babs can bark up and down as much as
Speaker 8: he want. That guy plays his ass off. I played
Speaker 8: against Mike Babcock forty years ago. He wasn't a great player.
Speaker 8: And unless they can figure out how to fill the
Speaker 8: holes of the team, it's not gonna be. It's it's
Speaker 8: not gonna it'll matter a little bit, but it won't
Speaker 8: matter what they're looking at. They're looking at a bar
Speaker 8: that's pretty high and to climb over it is a
Speaker 8: minuscule difference. Can his system make the goalie better, because
Speaker 8: that's a problem. I do think they'll be a better
Speaker 8: defensive team. Like how is How's Evan Bouchard gonna respond
Speaker 8: to this? I don't know, but I don't think Leon
Speaker 8: and Connor are going to be the problem. Are gonna
Speaker 8: have problems with him? Because those guys are brilliant players,
Speaker 8: but some of the other guys. And I bring up
Speaker 8: Bouchard because he can as we've seen, he can go
Speaker 8: up and down like the tides. There's gonna be some
Speaker 8: challenges there for sure.
Speaker 4: Okay, you mentioned forty years ago playing Babcock. Quickly, if
Speaker 4: it's possible forty four years ago, kid from Trail, I'm
Speaker 4: going to make you do this again.
Speaker 3: I think I do it every year. In nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 3: my gosh, it seems like yesterday for me. What do
Speaker 3: you remember about the day you were drafted by the
Speaker 3: Hartford Waiters. You're all you're at the draft, aren't you,
Speaker 3: And there was a big party and then know what happened?
Speaker 8: Yeah, first of all, there were no draft parties back then.
Speaker 8: The start with number two. I was crushed, disappointed, couldn't
Speaker 8: believe that I went so late. I went the fifth
Speaker 8: round there were I led the BC Junior League in
Speaker 8: scoring by fifty points and I was the fourth player
Speaker 8: picked out of the league that year, and like I was,
Speaker 8: I stayed home from school. I thought I was. There
Speaker 8: was some chatter that I would be like kind of
Speaker 8: a second round pick, and I'm not lying here. I
Speaker 8: kept calling the radio station and trail, which was cjat
Speaker 8: calling and saying, hey, it's Ray Ferraro's my name been
Speaker 8: called yet? And the guy would go through whatever he
Speaker 8: was looking at and go nope. End of the second round.
Speaker 8: And then after a while I stopped calling and I
Speaker 8: get a call and the guy goes, hey, You've been
Speaker 8: drafted fifth round by Hartford. And I think he thought
Speaker 8: that was good news. And I was like, yeah, thanks,
Speaker 8: and I hung up, and my mom was there, you know,
Speaker 8: dad was at work, and she goes, what happened? I said,
Speaker 8: effing Hartford? And I went upstairs into my room and
Speaker 8: sat there for a bit and then I'm like, well,
Speaker 8: I got drafted in the NHL. And I was such
Speaker 8: a big deal to the Whalers. They called a week later, yes,
Speaker 8: and told me that I got drafted. So, you know,
Speaker 8: but in that draft I got to say. They drafted
Speaker 8: Kevin Dineen in the third round, Alfie Samuelson in the
Speaker 8: fourth round, and I went in the fifth round. And
Speaker 8: so it turned out to be a really good draft.
Speaker 4: But I was not.
Speaker 8: I was not happy. I was crushed. And as it
Speaker 8: turned out, Hell, could it have been any better? I
Speaker 8: don't think so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it all worked out, Cgat at Trail, Rick, you
Speaker 3: worked there, didn't you? You worked everywhere.
Speaker 4: I went to Trail for an interview ray and I
Speaker 4: did a game in Kamiko Arena, beautiful ring.
Speaker 8: But you didn't get the gig. Right, that's a b
Speaker 8: I b up.
Speaker 4: That's nineteen eighty nine. I'm sure you had something to
Speaker 4: do with it. Listen. Rick was drafted in the seventh round.
Speaker 4: I went in the ninety ninth round.
Speaker 8: Yes, could you do me one favorite?
Speaker 4: Rick?
Speaker 8: I want you to if you could mention the coach's
Speaker 8: name in Kitchener again, wasn't it in Kitchener? Or who
Speaker 8: won the Memorial Cup? What's that guy's name again?
Speaker 4: Finished that I got it righty here. Don't stretch with
Speaker 4: the name, you know, but it's.
Speaker 8: The last name that came out in four in one sentence,
Speaker 8: came on three different ways. It was my favorite part
Speaker 8: of the last month.
Speaker 4: Where the hell is it? I got here? Who's soho? So? No,
Speaker 4: it's a h hoko a hoko? Not even close, that's
Speaker 4: not a hoko. Somewhere are your buddies with the guy?
Speaker 4: Do you know him? Ray? Like? What the hell? No?
Speaker 8: No, but I can read.
Speaker 4: Ray.
Speaker 3: He's gonna pull a groin if he does that.
Speaker 4: You know me, Ray, I put your names left, right
Speaker 4: and center, you know.

Speaker 3: Yeah, keeping in mind the first time around he didn't
Speaker 3: have the GM title right exactly.
Speaker 4: So they've gone through too many coaches. I was just
Speaker 4: gonna say Rick lat a few years, this guy's gonna
Speaker 4: bring some stabilities, a great dub guy. And uh, this
Speaker 4: is a really really good move by the Giants, really
Speaker 4: good move from Lethbridge.
Speaker 1: And so there was a lot of thoughts Hurrican, he
Speaker 1: coached the Hurricane wanted to come back out this way.
Speaker 1: So it makes a lot of sense. So Michael Dick
Speaker 1: back with the Vancouver Giants. Okay, moving on, Jesse marsh
Speaker 1: slight update on Alfonso Davies this morning. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: from James Duffy. A good pal from TSN. This is
Speaker 1: jesse Marsh's comment. Alfonso Davies came to him before the
Speaker 1: game yesterday and said he wanted to play, but he
Speaker 1: hadn't hit the physical benchmarks necessary, so the team did
Speaker 1: not want to risk it. And I should mention I
Speaker 1: don't have this for Derek unfortunately. But moments ago Ben
Speaker 1: Steiner from Sports Illustrated we've had Ben on the show
Speaker 1: as well. He's covering the national team. He posted on
Speaker 1: Twitter that Alfonso Davies is running alone this morning with
Speaker 1: his independent trainer. He has not done so in recent
Speaker 1: training sessions where he's been running actually uh And Jesse
Speaker 1: Marsh added on to this from duty saying that the
Speaker 1: use of a decoy was worthwhile. But so again it's
Speaker 1: getting muddy to me, like, so was he a decoy
Speaker 1: or he wasn't fit to play?
Speaker 4: Which one?
Speaker 1: Which one is it? Because because before the match he
Speaker 1: was available, postmatch he was a decoy and today he's
Speaker 1: not healthy but he's playing Sunday.
Speaker 3: It was it was undoubtedly both. It wasn't fit to play,
Speaker 3: but they said he might be available, and so it
Speaker 3: was both.
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess I don't know.
Speaker 4: Why call if he's not gonna play. Why cough up
Speaker 4: a roster spot for this guy?
Speaker 3: Well, eight players didn't play.
Speaker 4: I mean, if he wasn't, point is he's the best
Speaker 4: player on the team. And you know I I I
Speaker 4: just don't get this, this whole thing. What's the big deal?
Speaker 4: It is a big deal. Doney's her.
Speaker 1: It's super.
Speaker 4: He tells he's ready. Yeah, he's closed, he's ready.
Speaker 3: He said he was shopping him as a decoy. That's fine, Okay,
Speaker 3: everybody gets so upset about this, but the timeline of
Speaker 3: things they dressed twenty four players had done the timeline
Speaker 3: of things. Marsh he's playing in the tournament, not playing
Speaker 3: in the opener. He's playing in the tournament. Okay, we're
Speaker 3: three through game. Three through three games.
Speaker 4: He's not healthy. He was available against Keep telling everyone
Speaker 4: he's a possibility. He's explaining it. He's saying he's a
Speaker 4: d You're getting Canadian hopes up high. You don't think
Speaker 4: in the Switzerland game there were fans going put him in,
Speaker 4: put him in, put him in, put him in. So
Speaker 4: they're down to nothing, put him in.
Speaker 1: It's becoming a distraction. To be honest with you, it is.
Speaker 1: It's because of what he's doing too.
Speaker 4: If he had just said, think that's why they lost
Speaker 4: the game yesterday.
Speaker 3: No, they lost the game because they were they were
Speaker 3: They were not very good at the start of the
Speaker 3: first half the second that's why they're if you know,
Speaker 3: they should have had a hydration break at the start
Speaker 3: of both halves were better after the hydration nailed that.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's why.
Speaker 3: They lost the game. I think they were nervous at
Speaker 3: the start. I mean, understandably so, but I mean.
Speaker 1: But to Rick's point, though, if you're a Canadian fan,
Speaker 1: you're sitting in BC place yesterday they go down one nil,
Speaker 1: you look and you're going, uh is he?
Speaker 4: Is he warming not healthy?
Speaker 3: Then Dolan's gonna tell us right now that he did
Speaker 3: not he he when they decided to go to their substitutes,
Speaker 3: and you have players running back and forth on the sidelines,
Speaker 3: uh near the near the dugo, he wasn't one of them.
Speaker 3: He didn't take the warm up. It was clear he
Speaker 3: wasn't gonna play. So he said he was a decoy.
Speaker 3: You know, he's trying to.
Speaker 4: Get into the heads of the Swiss.
Speaker 3: It didn't work, but at least he tried. I don't
Speaker 3: think there's any big mystery here, Like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: it doesn't nobody's getting so upset about it. And I
Speaker 3: think it's kind of obvious with the situation he's not healthy.
Speaker 3: You want him to play and snap his hamstring again
Speaker 3: and he's not gonna be available later.
Speaker 1: No, but be clear, it's not been clear.
Speaker 4: There's no fans deserve that.
Speaker 1: Like Christen Polisitic has not been playing for the USA,
Speaker 1: he got injured in their first match. They've been giving
Speaker 1: their fans like they're kind of being screwed around. He's
Speaker 1: he's fit, he's a deco.
Speaker 3: Would have to be the dumbest person in the world
Speaker 3: to not realize why he's not playing.
Speaker 4: He's not healthy. No, so tell everybody, don't dress them,
Speaker 4: don't tell people there's fifteen minutes tis.
Speaker 3: It's it's not the best way of going about things.
Speaker 3: But he's using he's using the decoy ploy that it
Speaker 3: didn't work. Look a million times on the shows that
Speaker 3: I've done through the years, you will have coaches say
Speaker 3: that the margin between winning and losing in most teams
Speaker 3: is razor thin and if you could just use the
Speaker 3: littlest thing to try to get an edge, And again
Speaker 3: this didn't work.
Speaker 4: You try it. So he tried it.
Speaker 3: He used the decoy, you know, ploy, I'll use that
Speaker 3: word again, and it didn't work.
Speaker 4: He's hurt.
Speaker 1: Now he's apparently available, apparently available for Sunday. We'll see.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is just sometimes people heal. So I
Speaker 4: don't think that.
Speaker 3: So you're saying, are you are you saying that he
Speaker 3: was okay yesterday.
Speaker 4: I'm saying that the coach is giving hope to Canadian
Speaker 4: fans and there's no hope that that's also false, it's lying,
Speaker 4: But alright.
Speaker 3: So you want to help out Switzerland high you know, look,
Speaker 3: he's heard he's not gonna plays before thinking about probably
Speaker 3: you give.
Speaker 4: It a shot.
Speaker 1: But you're not seeing how like all of this doesn't
Speaker 1: add up to what before the tournament. He's playing in
Speaker 1: the tournament. He's not starting, he hasn't played in the tournament.
Speaker 1: We're heading a game four.
Speaker 4: This was just this just in. He's not a doctor,
Speaker 4: Jesse Marsh. He's probably hopeful that what's going on, he
Speaker 4: knows what's going on. He's probably hopeful that he was
Speaker 4: going to play on the.
Speaker 1: Start of the hurt again, has he really readed himself?
Speaker 4: Maybe?
Speaker 1: Is that a possibility.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: And also I'm sorry, and you know people are gonna
Speaker 1: say it's on the media care about this. He refused
Speaker 1: to talk to the media esterday. That you didn't talk
Speaker 1: his entire time your man, and I guess they can
Speaker 1: say he's hurt, but he's not hurt. He's available for
Speaker 1: the match. So if you're available for the match, my opinion,
Speaker 1: you should be able to talk to the meaning he's out.
Speaker 4: In Vancouver downtown to doing the pit stops in North Fan,
Speaker 4: West Bend and functions he's been doing period. You can
Speaker 4: be all over Vancouver walking around and doing the appearances,
Speaker 4: you can talk to the media. That's a bad look.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I agree with the media. And you know
Speaker 3: this is his old stomping ground.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Surprised he hasn't talked, But that's the biggest issue, of course,
Speaker 3: is that he's hurt and he can't play.
Speaker 1: I don't know the whole thing.
Speaker 4: Tell us that don't trust No, he just said he
Speaker 4: used him as a decoy.
Speaker 3: He tried that clearly didn't work.
Speaker 4: Move on. I don't know.
Speaker 1: The whole thing is weird.
Speaker 4: It' here more.
Speaker 1: We gotta break and we and Dolan's gonna get more today.
Speaker 1: Here Dolan's gonna explain some more about it, including the
Speaker 1: Bayern Munich angle to this whole as well. On the
Speaker 1: other side, our World Cup correspondent Paul Dolan is next
Speaker 1: to Donny Dolly, the team on Check.

Speaker 3: Slash Vancouver Canada loses two to one to Switzerland yesterday
Speaker 3: at BC Place and here to talk about that in
Speaker 3: all matters World Cup. Paul Dohen, thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 4: How are you verry good? How are you doing very well?
Speaker 3: Let's get right into it here we mentioned Switzerland beating
Speaker 3: Canada two to one. Do you have a problem with
Speaker 3: Jesse Marsh using Alphonso Davies as a decoy against Switzerland,
Speaker 3: because a lot of people are upset about this.
Speaker 10: Paul, Yeah, I don't have a problem. I just wondered
Speaker 10: why you did it. I don't think it was necessary.
Speaker 10: I don't think it tricked the Swiss. I think the
Speaker 10: Swiss spent zero point five seconds thinking about what if
Speaker 10: Alphonso Davies came in.
Speaker 7: I mean, most of.
Speaker 10: The technical staffs these days they do a thorough background
Speaker 10: search on every single player they'll face. But the bottom
Speaker 10: line is they planned their game how they want to play,
Speaker 10: and that's first and four most in what they do.
Speaker 10: So the fact that Alfonso Davies might come on for
Speaker 10: ten minutes, because we knew it'd be no more than that,
Speaker 10: even if it was to come on, I don't think
Speaker 10: it was even necessary to bring him up. But you know,
Speaker 10: Jesse has a way of maybe trying to get in
Speaker 10: the heads of opposition teams or whatever it might be.
Speaker 7: So I don't think it's a really big deal.
Speaker 10: Frankly, I just don't think he needed to do it
Speaker 10: because I don't think it had any effect one way
Speaker 10: or the other.
Speaker 4: Any idea.
Speaker 3: What's going on with Alfonso Davies Paul? Is he still injured?
Speaker 3: Is Byron Munich getting in the way? What have you heard?
Speaker 4: What do you think?
Speaker 10: It's hard to know about being on the ground in
Speaker 10: the camp speaking to the medical staff. I mean, really
Speaker 10: they're the only ones that know. But when you see
Speaker 10: I don't want to say the body language, but the
Speaker 10: lack of activity on the sideline during the games warming up,
Speaker 10: I mean, he was never a consideration. He doesn't even
Speaker 10: warm up with the rest of the team to any
Speaker 10: real great degree while the game's going on. So I
Speaker 10: knew he wasn't going to be a sub based on that.
Speaker 10: If you were going to use him at any time
Speaker 10: to win the group, you probably would have.
Speaker 7: Thrown him on in the last ten minutes.
Speaker 10: But at the same time, that's just where he is,
Speaker 10: no game minutes, recovering from an injury for what is
Speaker 10: it seven weeks now, Jacob Schaffelberg is your better option there,
Speaker 10: So maybe saving them for and I say them meaning
Speaker 10: him and moys bomb Beido for the knockout round now
Speaker 10: knowing that they were already through and in the lighted
Speaker 10: day the next day, as upset as I was, just
Speaker 10: because I felt there was such a good opportunity to
Speaker 10: continue to play in Vancouver and what it would mean
Speaker 10: to Canada and this city and of the team.
Speaker 7: I would have thought playing at home.
Speaker 10: You know, the actual draw and this is not a
Speaker 10: disrespect to South Africa, but playing a sixtieth ranked team
Speaker 10: in South Africa on neutral ground instead of Korea in
Speaker 10: front of sixty thousand Koreans in LA. They've got a
Speaker 10: good draw and in fact, it might even be better
Speaker 10: than the draw that they would have got if that
Speaker 10: had they won the group, because I think at some
Speaker 10: point Switzerland could have played Belgium and that's ill the
Speaker 10: possibility or a team like that. So we'll see how
Speaker 10: it all unfolds. But they've got a good path right now.
Speaker 10: So as disappointed as I was yesterday to not at
Speaker 10: least get the draw out, a game that you would.
Speaker 7: Have hoped Canada, as a host nation with a program
Speaker 7: on the up and up, would have gotten, you have
Speaker 7: to be realistic too. Four of their five best players
Speaker 7: are out injured, and it's just been one after the other.
Speaker 7: So I like the way that they responded having gone
Speaker 7: down a goal. I like the way that they pushed.
Speaker 7: I love the goal.
Speaker 10: I think it might be the goal of the tournaments
Speaker 10: are that Canada scored, and that endeavor and that desire
Speaker 10: to get the result late was promising, I think.
Speaker 4: But Paul, the difference of playing Sunday as opposed to
Speaker 4: you know, playing that home July second, is huge, and
Speaker 4: you just mentioned four or five guys hurt. It would
Speaker 4: have been nice to have that extra few days off.
Speaker 10: It would have rigged. But you know what, South Africa's
Speaker 10: in the same boat. In fact, South Africa has three
Speaker 10: hours least rest because they played last night after the
Speaker 10: Canada game. Both travel the same distance. La is an
Speaker 10: easy one from here. La is an easy one from
Speaker 10: where they played in Mexico and Monterey. So I just
Speaker 10: think that evens out. I think that obviously, if Canada
Speaker 10: had the extra week over a team that was coming
Speaker 10: in as a third place team into Vancouver, they would
Speaker 10: have had a bigger spread. I see what you're saying there,
Speaker 10: but I feel like the Canadian team, with the depth
Speaker 10: they've got, even without those top players, should be the
Speaker 10: favorite going into this game. And now, again like the
Speaker 10: Guitar game, there's a little bit of pressure on them,
Speaker 10: even though they've made this incredible stage to get to
Speaker 10: the knockouts. I feel that Canada goes in as a
Speaker 10: favorite and you would hope that they would win this game.
Speaker 4: Okay, what do you know about the South African team?
Speaker 4: Like that? You know from one I'm seeing, Oh, this
Speaker 4: is going to be easy. It's never easy. You know,
Speaker 4: we're on to the next round. What do you know
Speaker 4: about the South Africans?
Speaker 7: I didn't like.
Speaker 10: Them in the first game against Mexico, but you're at
Speaker 10: a stadio as Teca.
Speaker 7: You're playing a so called good Mexican team.
Speaker 10: Although I have to say that Mexico I thought really
Speaker 10: struggled in that game until they had the man advantage,
Speaker 10: But they came through that game, played the next game
Speaker 10: without a couple of key players, and then they beat
Speaker 10: Korea last night, and that's.
Speaker 7: A big result.
Speaker 10: I have to say that Koreas not look good and
Speaker 10: in hindsight, you wonder, oh, would Canada be better off
Speaker 10: playing Korea? Just the way they're playing right now, but
Speaker 10: they've got explosive forwards on the counter. If Canada is
Speaker 10: aggressive and wants to dominate the ball near the opponent
Speaker 10: penalty area, as I think they'll look to do, they
Speaker 10: could get caught out. And I didn't love the way
Speaker 10: that Canada defended and the open space is defensively yesterday,
Speaker 10: I really didn't like that second goal, didn't like the
Speaker 10: first goal. And in both cases it was our defense
Speaker 10: getting caught out by long balls forward that they just
Speaker 10: couldn't contend with.
Speaker 7: So that to me is the biggest danger from them.
Speaker 3: Okay, before I let you go, Paul, back to the
Speaker 3: Alfonso Davies situation, I think you know more about soccer
Speaker 3: than I do, and more than Rick as well. It's close,
Speaker 3: but I think you know, I think you know more.
Speaker 3: Is it a thing for a club like Byron Munich
Speaker 3: to get in the way of player usage by national teams?
Speaker 3: Does that happen?
Speaker 10: I think it does, Donnie, Honestly, I think it does
Speaker 10: sometimes more so during a regular season. They can have
Speaker 10: no effect in a World Cup. They've actually got someone
Speaker 10: from Barron Munich working with Alfonso Davies in Vancouver, so
Speaker 10: there is a link there. I trust that the Canadian team,
Speaker 10: knowing that they need him if he's at his peak
Speaker 10: and can give them a positive effect, will use him
Speaker 10: and have the right to do that, no matter what
Speaker 10: Barron Munich has to say about it. But I also
Speaker 10: feel that they won't use him until they think he
Speaker 10: will have that positive effect. And I think they're in
Speaker 10: close touch with that medical department on both sides of
Speaker 10: Canada and Bron Munich, and they will do the right thing.
Speaker 7: And a World Cup that won't be.
Speaker 4: Blocked above and beyond is always Paul, all right, thanks
Speaker 4: for this, appreciate it.
Speaker 7: We'll see you next time.
Speaker 4: You bet it.
Speaker 3: Paul Dolan, Donnie and Dolly World Cup soccer analysts. Of course,
Speaker 3: he was in goal for Canada at the nineteen eighty
Speaker 3: six World Cup and you know, just listening to that closely,
Speaker 3: it's clear that he agrees with the men and that
Speaker 3: he has no problem with Jesse Marsh using the decoy
Speaker 3: ploy when it comes to Alfonso.
Speaker 4: Davies is hurt. Keep sticking to that.
Speaker 3: Okay, Canada versus South Africa on Sunday down in Los
Speaker 3: Angeles at the World Cup and duly made the point there.
Speaker 3: Matchup wise, look it would be so special for them
Speaker 3: to have another match at BC plays. I'm not going
Speaker 3: to play another game in Canada no matter what happens.
Speaker 3: It would have been so special. But matchup wise, this
Speaker 3: might have worked out better for them because of the
Speaker 3: South African upset of South Korea. Why nothing down to
Speaker 3: La they go to play and they thought for sure
Speaker 3: they were going to play South South Korea. But it's
Speaker 3: going to be uh, South Africa. You don't want to
Speaker 3: get overly confident.
Speaker 4: You don't want to over confident. I mean South Africa's
Speaker 4: ranked sixtieth in the world. The Canada's ranked thirtieth. So
Speaker 4: there you go. Yeah, and it's not gonna be I.
Speaker 3: Think the key to victory on Sunday is to use
Speaker 3: Alfonso Davies as a decoy again and then everything should
Speaker 3: work out unlike a yesterday. Okay, let me do some
Speaker 3: business and then we'll throw to break on Friday. Our

Speaker 4: Bottling Dog poll question.
Speaker 3: The Ryan Johnson press conference, by the way, has ended
Speaker 3: as the Canucks look ahead to tomorrow's NHL entry draft,
Speaker 3: and we'll have more information from that press conference in
Speaker 3: a bit here. Meanwhile, experience one of Victoria's iconic destinations.
Speaker 3: We're talking the dog.
Speaker 4: Catch the World.
Speaker 3: Cup at the Dog with the Waddling Dog. With Canada
Speaker 3: game shown live and loud on all twenty two TVs
Speaker 3: with full sound. Come sit and stay at the Waddling
Speaker 3: Dog today. I'm sure they'll also be uh checking out
Speaker 3: the draft tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Oh big time. That's the place to be in Victoria,
Speaker 4: the Waddling Dog. Ryan, get it up the Waddling Dog
Speaker 4: pop poll question. It is concerning the Canucks. What is
Speaker 4: your reaction to Vancouver's late lack of trade activity so
Speaker 4: far this week? Look, the fifty three percent say glad,
Speaker 4: they're patient, forty seven percent say disappointed. Vancouver's got seven
Speaker 4: no moves dog, one of the high clubs in the
Speaker 4: National Hockey League with no moves. So Rutherford Nelvin left
Speaker 4: the Canucks not only in thirty second place, but they
Speaker 4: left them with seven no moves. Unless you're in that
Speaker 4: seat and trying to make a move. It's tough. It's
Speaker 4: very hard. These guys, these players are these excuses. Dono
Speaker 4: giving you the goods. These guys and agents, they work
Speaker 4: hard to get no moves. They got young families, they
Speaker 4: don't want to move, the families, all this stuff, it
Speaker 4: all plays into it, so it's not easy. Also, the
Speaker 4: last time I checked the Knucks, maybe Rick.
Speaker 3: Things change though the circumstances of the club hold on
Speaker 3: a set here, the circumstances change. People sign no move
Speaker 3: clauses when a team seems to be on the verge
Speaker 3: of doing really well and then things like last season
Speaker 3: happened and people change their mind.
Speaker 4: He's got to convince guys he hasn't gone to them
Speaker 4: because there's no trade that's made them happy. But if
Speaker 4: he does, there's a possibility. He goes to a guy
Speaker 4: with the no move and the guy says.
Speaker 3: No, of course, I want to say, I get that,
Speaker 3: but it's not like it's impossible, right, you've seen it before.
Speaker 4: JT. Miller.
Speaker 3: Okay, Meanwhile, you had some information about we talk a
Speaker 3: lot about well, we had Brandon Gallagher on the show
Speaker 3: just just moments ago about a veteran player who could
Speaker 3: help spark things for the Kannucks, be a leader in
Speaker 3: the room, that sort of thing.
Speaker 4: And another name is popped up. You talk about getting
Speaker 4: a guy that puts some buzz in the building, You
Speaker 4: talk about it all the time. It would not surprise
Speaker 4: me if the Canuck's that interest in Ryan Lomberg. Who
Speaker 4: could be a UFA if he hits it July first.
Speaker 4: He's not big, he's fast, he works incredibly hard, lots
Speaker 4: of energies, spark plug pest culture center, just won a
Speaker 4: Stanley Cup fan favorite everywhere he goes. So just you know,
Speaker 4: last two seasons in Calgary, last two seasons in Calgary.
Speaker 4: If he hits the market, that's a guy that the
Speaker 4: Canucks should take a look at. In terms of what
Speaker 4: you said, put some buzz in the building. Who's the
Speaker 4: last guy that puts some buzz in the building in Vancouver.
Speaker 4: It's it's been a while. Trampkin Nikia Trampkin, Yes, and
Speaker 4: then he left town because of the smell of the
Speaker 4: chief and chalk stuff. He didn't like it. He didn't
Speaker 4: like the chief and chalk stuff.
Speaker 3: Well that my first thought is, and this is they
Speaker 3: look also to play in the National Hockey is amazing
Speaker 3: and what a great athlete you have to be.
Speaker 4: All the respect in the world.
Speaker 3: But zadorof O, Yes, of course, buzz in the building
Speaker 3: of the right the Keta was.
Speaker 4: Great, especially in the playoffs. He held those oilers accountable
Speaker 4: on many nights. But a guy like a Triumpkan or
Speaker 4: zador Off, those guys were trees, those six four six,
Speaker 4: five sixty six. Lombering is not big, Gallagher's not big,
Speaker 4: but they bring that mentality of working hard and passed
Speaker 4: and all that. You know, they're just fun players to watch.
Speaker 4: They're thirty one years old.
Speaker 3: Ryan Lamberg, But I say earlier in the show, Ryan
Speaker 3: has got to be the number one name in the
Speaker 3: National Hockey League. Ryan, there are a million ryants right,
Speaker 3: there's one one right to the.
Speaker 4: Right of us.
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, you've got some business and
Speaker 3: then some more connuct.
Speaker 4: News hold on a sick look at this. A new
Speaker 4: era is underway and RBC is proud to be the
Speaker 4: newest partner in Vancouver Canucks as we write this next chapter.

Speaker 4: presented by RBC. Your ideas happened here at RBC.
Speaker 3: Connucks will be wearing the blue and gold RBC patch
Speaker 3: this Jerseys next season, much like the Montreal Canadians. So
Speaker 3: if Brendan Gallagher goes from Montreal to Vancouver, the patch
Speaker 3: on his uniform will state will stay the same. Okay,
Speaker 3: no one cares about that, Yeah, except Brick and I.
Speaker 3: Ryan Johnson press conference earlier today. It started at nine thirty.
Speaker 3: It's concluded as you would expect at Rodgers Arena, and
Speaker 3: they're looking ahead the reporters and Ryan Johnson to tomorrows
Speaker 3: or the start of the NHL Draft tomorrow in Buffalo.
Speaker 3: This is one quote.
Speaker 4: We don't have.
Speaker 3: Any video at this point, but one quote we have
Speaker 3: courtesy our friend Thomas Drantz. Will be on the show
Speaker 3: tomorrow from the Athletic and this is a one item
Speaker 3: we didn't get to Rick.
Speaker 4: So Ryan Johnson on whether the club may move up
Speaker 4: the board. There's been a lot of movement and a
Speaker 4: lot of about the board, about the board, so Ryan said,
Speaker 4: there's been a lot of movement, a lot of teams
Speaker 4: looking to move back. I think it would take a
Speaker 4: lot for me to move out of number three. We
Speaker 4: love being in that spot. And if it goes like
Speaker 4: this McKenna and then Stenberg, then the Canucks got to
Speaker 4: pick between Maholter and Red is the feeling, and if
Speaker 4: you're okay with father's son the combo, then then pick Maholter.
Speaker 3: And Ferraro is for people missed that interview.
Speaker 4: And if you're not okay with the if you have
Speaker 4: a problem with the father son combo and Vancouver, then
Speaker 4: you can take Chase Reid sixty three? What are you
Speaker 4: talking about? What do you mean?
Speaker 3: Wouldn't people have also a problem with drafting a talented
Speaker 3: American defenseman And look, nothing against somebody's nationality, but their
Speaker 3: recent trend is American players bolting Canadian teams, right.
Speaker 4: And Ryan did mention today that the Canucks have thought
Speaker 4: about that, you know, should we draft an American high
Speaker 4: The Canucks do have a high drafted American on their team,
Speaker 4: Ze Buoyam, who's up for a contract this summer, maybe
Speaker 4: seven or eight years, So there you go. Okay.
Speaker 3: Also, I should mention that the last I think I've
Speaker 3: got this right. The last time a team moved back
Speaker 3: in the first round significantly two thousand and eight, and
Speaker 3: that was We're going way back here, almost twenty years.
Speaker 3: Islanders traded number five overall to the Leafs for picks seven,
Speaker 3: sixty eight and an nine second rounder. And with that
Speaker 3: fifth pick, the Leaves took.
Speaker 4: Who they take, Luke Schen. Luke Chen who's thirty seven
Speaker 4: now and gonna be a ufa July first. Maybe he's
Speaker 4: somebody they bring in. They bring him in four insulate
Speaker 4: the young kids. I keep saying it, nobody listens.
Speaker 3: Well, they've brought him into Vancouver twice, so somebody's listening
Speaker 3: a third time. And by the way, the Islanders ended
Speaker 3: up I think trading that pick to Nashville at seven.
Speaker 3: Nashville pick Colin Wilson, and then the Islanders moved back
Speaker 3: again and took Josh Bailey at number nine. That's the
Speaker 3: last time I stand to be corrected. Here are great customers,
Speaker 3: will correct me if I'm wrong. Last time a team
Speaker 3: significantly moved back in the in the first round. It's
Speaker 3: been a long time. It doesn't always happen. We all
Speaker 3: remember ninety nine and the maneuvering Brian Burke did to
Speaker 3: get the sedines. So it does happen. Okay, you've got
Speaker 3: more business. Ryan doesn't want me to do this.
Speaker 4: We're going to do it, but let's do They're gonna
Speaker 4: go over his head. Yeah, even though he's the conductor,
Speaker 4: and we're gonna do this business. So the world has
Speaker 4: arrived in Vancrum. Is in a bad mood. I know

Speaker 3: sixty million dollars, easily setting a new franchise record and
Speaker 3: notching the biggest opening weekend of the year at theaters.
Speaker 3: Thirty one years after the original Toy Story, which didn't
Speaker 3: capture me, Toy Story five Forrester passed the previous series'
Speaker 3: best debut one hundred and twenty schmill for Toy Story
Speaker 3: four in twenty nineteen one hundred and fifty two million
Speaker 3: globally three hundred and twelve million overall. It's one of
Speaker 3: the most profitable franchises in Disney's history. Before Toy Story
Speaker 3: five launch, the movies had grossed more than three billion dollars,
Speaker 3: also pulling in billions from merchandising. Meanwhile, Disclosure Day Steven
Speaker 3: Spielberg second place, seventeen a million. That's a drop of
Speaker 3: sixty one percent. That's on Spielberg like third place after
Speaker 3: six weeks this obsession. I got to see it fourteen
Speaker 3: point two million dollars, but it costs like a million,
Speaker 3: less than a million to make. It's made three hundred
Speaker 3: and thirty three million. And again, my nephew, Jake Taylor,
Speaker 3: he told me, not only is it the best horror
Speaker 3: movie ever made, he thinks It's the best movie ever made,
Speaker 3: ever made. This is Dougie's son. Oh Dougie Sun Yeah,

Speaker 4: round pick in nineteen eighty two of the Blues. He
Speaker 4: won the Memorial Cup in nineteen eighty one, named the
Speaker 4: MVP in the OHL one hundred and seventy seven points.
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? His brother, David was drafted by
Speaker 4: the Canucks in nineteen seventy. Remember of Calgary's Stanley Cup
Speaker 4: winning team in eighty nine won the Frank J. Selke Trophy. Gilmore, Oh,
Speaker 4: how'd you get that?
Speaker 3: I didn't realize he had a brother named David Gillmore.
Speaker 4: David Gilmore drafted. If you don't don't shake your head
Speaker 4: all of the said, lead guitarist for Pink Floyd. David
Speaker 4: Gilmore drafted by the Connucks in nineteen seventy his brother.
Speaker 4: He looked up to him. Don Jerry's favorite player of
Speaker 4: all time, one of the best seventh thront picks of
Speaker 4: the history of that from Kingston Right. Doug Gilmore, he
Speaker 4: played in Cornwall. I didn't say Cornwall, and that would
Speaker 4: have been the Cornwall team to play punch. I believe
Speaker 4: in the Memorial Cup.
Speaker 3: So always gosh, his brother had the stash.
Speaker 4: Hey, am I right? So you shook your head?
Speaker 3: You should know because I hadn't heard that. I didn't
Speaker 3: know he was his brother, but also lead guitarist Pink Floyd.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get that. I know David Gilmore, do you
Speaker 4: I do? But that David Gilmore, the Gilmour spelled different.
Speaker 4: It's a different spelling of the name. Is an honor or,
Speaker 4: is it?
Speaker 1: No, it's the same.
Speaker 4: It's the same, okay, But anyways, Doug Gilmore's brother drafted
Speaker 4: by the Canucks in nineteen.
Speaker 3: S I learned something every day, every day, every day.
Speaker 4: Okay. This guy was a top ten pick for the
Speaker 4: Oiders in the twenty nineteen NHL draft right here, twenty
Speaker 4: nineteen top ten pick right here in Vancouver. After being drafted,
Speaker 4: he stayed in Sweden. He said, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna stay there for my development. Played for Sweden
Speaker 4: at the World Juniors, and then twenty twenty one, played
Speaker 4: his first NHL game, got an assist due to a
Speaker 4: roster logjam, the Oilers win now mandate. He had a
Speaker 4: tough time getting nice time under j Woodcroft, the guy.
Speaker 4: You love Woodcroft, this Woodcrop that all the time. Then
Speaker 4: the Oilers ran into salary cap Eh Broberg, Oh how'd
Speaker 4: you get that? Wow? How did you not get.
Speaker 1: That salary cap? All that stuff off for sheet.
Speaker 3: I just think about how much I like Jay Woodcroft.
Speaker 4: You love him all.
Speaker 3: I kind of have a connection to Jay, very loosely
Speaker 3: to Woodcroft. Yeah, relative, No, a friend of a friend,
Speaker 3: A friend of a friend.
Speaker 4: Of a friend. Okay, let's move on here. This actor,

Speaker 4: twenty ten, he was included in Time Magazine's one hundred
Speaker 4: Most Influential People. Began stand up in the late nineteen nineties.

Speaker 4: Rick, all right, funny how Rick just mentioned Ryan Lomberg
Speaker 4: ran into him at the watch party at the Jackpool
Speaker 4: Plaza yesterday. He did mention how much he loves Vancouver
Speaker 4: as the city Michelle and so Surrey getting inside information
Speaker 4: on Ryan lumber He loves, he loves Vancouver.
Speaker 3: You're putting two and two together and two in Vancouver
Speaker 3: and here we are talking about him today possibly joining
Speaker 3: the Canucks. Is there something there? Go over come a
Speaker 3: little behind here?
Speaker 4: Okay, here we go. Chase Reed is now one hundred
Speaker 4: plus to go third overall the Vancouver NEMO. What does
Speaker 4: that mean? Is that a gambling thing? I'm not a gambler,
Speaker 4: give it to me a sorry plus one hundred? Ryan,
Speaker 4: what is plus one hundred? It's a betting thing. These guys,
Speaker 4: all these young kids, they bet. I bet you Neimo's
Speaker 4: young kid. I don't bet. But anyways, it looks like
Speaker 4: the odds, the odds are saying the Canucks are taking
Speaker 4: Chase Reed.
Speaker 3: The American defenseman mikel Vancouver is just me, but Brandon
Speaker 3: Gallagher a slam dunk to be brought to the Canucks.
Speaker 3: The first thing he said was the importance of character
Speaker 3: for a team during a rebuild, and he would bring
Speaker 3: that in space. It would be a really popular move.
Speaker 3: It would be a massive move because nobody's ever questioned
Speaker 3: his effort level and how he brings energy to a building.
Speaker 4: Great pro on and off the ice. He sets the
Speaker 4: template to practice, hardest working guy, first guy at the rink,
Speaker 4: last guy to leave the rink. Ending Gallagher is what
Speaker 4: you need for a dressing.
Speaker 3: Room, mitch On Gabriela, Is it just mirroor does Donnie
Speaker 3: look like he's drawing circles and lines in his notebook?
Speaker 3: What does this notebook look like at the end of
Speaker 3: the show. You've tweeted this out if you're not Ryan.
Speaker 1: At one point I tweeted out one of your rundowns.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm asticious doodler. Yeah, I spent most of my
Speaker 3: time in my life, not just on the show doodling.
Speaker 4: It's all I do. You and I both we doodle
Speaker 4: all the time during the show. What do you got?
Speaker 4: Doodling is good? I learned from you back in ten
Speaker 4: forty I watched you.
Speaker 3: If you want to learn about doodling, this is the
Speaker 3: show to watch.
Speaker 4: Not much else, no buzz like Heatl's first game Pablo
Speaker 4: Burray esque. So you're still getting the HEATL first game
Speaker 4: stuff big time.
Speaker 3: I'll stand by it. And there was I think one
Speaker 3: or two people over the last couple of years who
Speaker 3: have backed me up out of five thousand.
Speaker 4: Is it just me? Year after year after year after year.
Speaker 3: Caducks have never drafted first to overall, free agency or trades.
Speaker 3: Nothing huge ever happens fifty six years in the league,
Speaker 3: and we as fans can never get excited and look
Speaker 3: forward to anything pathetic that is unsigned. I'm going to
Speaker 3: disagree with him on free agency. Some pretty big things
Speaker 3: have happened, not all of them have worked out.
Speaker 4: Louis Rickson Louis Erickson was not a good signing. It
Speaker 4: was not a good signing. It was one of the
Speaker 4: bigger duds on July first.
Speaker 3: But you know what, it seems like nothing now when
Speaker 3: you look at some of the sellaries that are being
Speaker 3: thrown around. Alex tuckby the latest.
Speaker 4: Every team's got a back contract. Kids today have no
Speaker 4: idea how easy it is to get info. In the seventies,
Speaker 4: as a kid, I had to phone chn L and
Speaker 4: kabloops every evening to get the expos score Graldo. That's
Speaker 4: a great point. We didn't have in the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 4: All these kids laptops. It's just ridiculous, way better. Every
Speaker 4: time I see a kid on a cell phone or
Speaker 4: a laptop, I want to, you know, I want to.
Speaker 4: I want to scream, you're always on your cell phone.
Speaker 4: I only use the cell phone to text agents. That's it.
Speaker 4: It is better now, that's it.
Speaker 3: But for some bizarre reason, I miss the way it
Speaker 3: used to be, like getting the stats every Tuesday in
Speaker 3: the National Hockey because the time you got the whole package, it.
Speaker 4: Was a simpler way better Now simple, No, it's not
Speaker 4: better now. I know you're right, exactly different. They're taking
Speaker 4: the humanization away from humans. Now, you could fire people
Speaker 4: on Twitter. What what are you laughing at? Humans are
Speaker 4: still humans? Hold in a second. You can on your
Speaker 4: phone more than I'm on my phone for work. Okay,
Speaker 4: that's it. But you can fire people on your cell phone.
Speaker 4: You can break up with someone on the cell phone.
Speaker 4: They're taking away human interactions and that's bad. You think
Speaker 4: it's good breaking up with someone versus face to face.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm not going to get into any details there,
Speaker 3: Bobby from Poco, is it just me? I agree with
Speaker 3: Rick and I guess Ryan. Regarding Alfonso Davies. You don't
Speaker 3: say he will play if you know he wouldn't dress, well,
Speaker 3: he did dress. Literally, an entire country was waiting for
Speaker 3: the seventieth minute to see Phonsie come in and tie
Speaker 3: the game. Jesse Marsh let the country down in this incident.
Speaker 3: All due respect to Bobby, who's a regular contributor to
Speaker 3: our show.
Speaker 4: Bobby's a good guy. He's a good guy. I'm sure.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he is. But I mean, I just don't
Speaker 3: know what the mystery is. Alfonso Davies is injured, Okay,
Speaker 3: Oh he's so, he's in and so Jesse Marsh gave
Speaker 3: the decoy strategy a shot. It didn't work out. I mean,
Speaker 3: was he supposed to play?
Speaker 4: Is he interest? Is he going to player or not?
Speaker 4: There's no clarity. I'm sorry about twenty four people on
Speaker 4: the roster last night. They dressed so it's okay. I
Speaker 4: mean it's not okay. They lost and you'd love him
Speaker 4: to play, but he's I don't know what the mystery is.
Speaker 4: He's hurt to trade with Montreal being the works for
Speaker 4: Gallagher and a pick or two for debrsk RP and
Speaker 4: White Rock. I think Montreal and Vancouver are talking. Debrask
Speaker 4: Gallagher's names come up. I wonder if Peterson's names come
Speaker 4: up with Montreal as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, we're good a break. We'll wrap up
Speaker 3: the show the pull question. Next, Tony tell you the
Speaker 3: team on check. Remember that dead electric leaf blower in
Speaker 3: the garage, still hoping it'll come back to life.
Speaker 4: Ope? I see is PC's recycling program for battery powered
Speaker 4: and electric 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 the electric yard tools don't have to end up
Speaker 4: in the landfill. If you're electric outdoor power equipment can't
Speaker 4: be fixed, 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 4: That's ope I se dot CA. A new era is
