Speaker 4: trumped by don't mind me using that word, by what's
Speaker 4: going to happen tomorrow. Tomorrow the most important match in
Speaker 4: Canadian men's soccer history. It's just been absolutely a wonderful
Speaker 4: whether you're a big soccer fan or not. The entertainment
Speaker 4: value has been off the charts and you can just
Speaker 4: feel the energy coming through the television said, it really
Speaker 4: is a special envious if anybody who gets to go
Speaker 4: to that game tomorrow at BC plays Canada and Switzerland,
Speaker 4: Canada draws or when wins and they move on to
Speaker 4: the round of thirty two and will play July second
Speaker 4: again at BC Place. Hockey Mike Babcock this morning officially
Speaker 4: the nineteenth head coach at ebonton oiler's history, and we
Speaker 4: understand that Dj Smith, who worked with the Kings on
Speaker 4: an interim basis as head coach this past season, replacing Hiller.
Speaker 3: Jim Hiller.
Speaker 4: He's going to go from LA to Edmonton to work
Speaker 4: with his old buddy Mike Babcock. They worked together in Toronto.
Speaker 4: DJ Smith was Mike Babcock's assistant. But Mike Babcock, this
Speaker 4: is real, This is actually happening. You're not dreaming of Folks.
Speaker 4: Nobody saw this coming. I mean, okay, over the last
Speaker 4: week or so, when the word got out that it
Speaker 4: was a possibility and that they were looking into in
Speaker 4: the NHL was investigating what happened in Columbus with Mike Babcock, nobody.
Speaker 4: Nobody guess this, nobody, And and look, it is a
Speaker 4: desperate move by the by the Abonton owners. And you
Speaker 4: know why it's a desperate move because they're desperate. They're
Speaker 4: people criticizing it is a desperate They're desperate. Time is
Speaker 4: taking on Connor McDavid and to some extent, Leon Dreisidel.
Speaker 4: They have to do something like this. And Mike Babcock,
Speaker 4: nineteenth head coach in Order's history.
Speaker 5: I want to see how long his term is Donnie
Speaker 5: on his contract two years or three? If it's two
Speaker 5: lines up with Connor right, the window is a small
Speaker 5: you mentioned it, McDavid. You better win. You better win,
Speaker 5: because he's going to bolt town if you don't win.
Speaker 5: Bringing DJ Smith was a good move for him. What
Speaker 5: he says at his press conference today is going to
Speaker 5: be amazing. You know, he's going to get attacked by
Speaker 5: the media. He hasn't coached in seven years. The Columbus
Speaker 5: thing was four years. He doesn't want to play off
Speaker 5: round since twenty thirteen, So you know he's gonna get
Speaker 5: grilled pretty good at the presser.
Speaker 4: But if I'm an Oilers fan, yeah, and I like
Speaker 4: the fact that I like what you just say. He's
Speaker 4: got something to prove, and this is a coach with
Speaker 4: a pretty impressive resume, not recently certainly, with all sorts
Speaker 4: of difficulties. But like, what bothered me the most about
Speaker 4: the Columbus situation is that I thought, I mean, you're
Speaker 4: asking players to share private information and photos on their
Speaker 4: cell phones and you're going to share it with the
Speaker 4: rest of the team.
Speaker 3: Was creepy. It was weird. It was also dumb, like.
Speaker 4: Everything that you've gone through in your career, all sorts
Speaker 4: of success, but you know, so much negativity when you
Speaker 4: look at the situation with Johan France and Mike Madano
Speaker 4: and Mitch Mitch Marner, and you come up with something
Speaker 4: like that, like Mike Babcock, you say what you want,
Speaker 4: tomut he comes across as a smart guy. The dumb move,
Speaker 4: like what the hell are you thinking? In this day
Speaker 4: and age?
Speaker 3: Maybe that worked, was gonna say ninety ye, well they
Speaker 3: didn't have cell phones but back then. But just to
Speaker 3: mind but the dumb move. If this guy.
Speaker 4: Sticks to hockey, if he just focuses on hockey, you know,
Speaker 4: like you just said, there, Rick, forget the mind games,
Speaker 4: forget trying to you know, manipulate or bully people.
Speaker 3: Just stick to hockey.
Speaker 4: Because obviously there's something there with Mike Babcock. Otherwise the
Speaker 4: people at Hockey Canada I wouldn't have hired him to,
Speaker 4: you know, help out team Canada at twenty ten to
Speaker 4: twenty fourteen and win win gold medals. If you stick
Speaker 4: to hockey, there's something there. But is he capable of
Speaker 4: doing that? You'd have to think he's learned his lesson.
Speaker 4: And look, yeah, you'd have to think he's learned his lesson.
Speaker 4: And that's good for the Edmonton Oilers. And I'm somebody
Speaker 4: who I'm not gonna sit here and say, as a
Speaker 4: Vancouver right that I want the Edmonton Orders to win
Speaker 4: a six Stanley Cup, but I want Connor McDavid to
Speaker 4: win one. It's a weird catch twenty two situation. This guy,
Speaker 4: he sticks to hockey, you know, because again there's something
Speaker 4: there that's it's got to be considered a positive move
Speaker 4: for the Edmonton Oilers.
Speaker 5: You can't blame the players, or you can blame them
Speaker 5: because you know, don the top players would have been informed.
Speaker 5: Apparently they had a meeting with Babcock. All right, McDavid
Speaker 5: drive title, all those big names had a meeting with
Speaker 5: him and they okayed it. So they okay, he's going
Speaker 5: to a Canadian market. Last time he got busted in Columbus,
Speaker 5: you know, not a great you know, hockey market.
Speaker 3: He's been to it.
Speaker 5: He's been to a Canadian markets. To a Canadian market
Speaker 5: didn't work out for him. I mean, he didn't do
Speaker 5: great in Toronto. But let's see how he does there.
Speaker 5: They got a short window to make this work, to
Speaker 5: keep their star player happy. The other guy's got turn
Speaker 5: them on his deal. It's all about Connor McDavid. Win
Speaker 5: for him and you can sign him to another deal.
Speaker 4: One thing you said there regarding McDavid in dry and
Speaker 4: undoubtedly Zach Hyman.
Speaker 3: Yes, the star players.
Speaker 4: We'll see what happens with Darnell and Nurse apparently the
Speaker 4: trading wat But when you when it comes to the
Speaker 4: star players and everybody that's had Mike Babcock as a coach,
Speaker 4: including Mike Commodore, who's been open about his hate for
Speaker 4: Mike Babcock more than anybody else. The problem for Mike
Speaker 4: Babcock isn't the star players and how he treats them.
Speaker 4: He treats them, well, okay, it's it's it's the bottom
Speaker 4: six forwards, it's the six seven defense, it's the staff,
Speaker 4: it's the ushers.
Speaker 3: People like that.
Speaker 4: How he treats that, that's not good. I know that,
Speaker 4: doesn't you know? People, what do you well? It It
Speaker 4: seeps into every corner of the organization when you treat
Speaker 4: people poorly.
Speaker 5: Culture.
Speaker 4: So that's hopefully he's you know, if you're an Oilers fan,
Speaker 4: hopefully he's learned from that.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 4: I know, people say, well done well Mike Madonel. We
Speaker 4: talked about he's a star player. When he was in Detroit,
Speaker 4: he was a spare part and end of his career,
Speaker 4: and you look at Mike McDonald's hockey dB page, it's sad.
Speaker 4: It's not sad. He hit a wonderful career, but fourteen
Speaker 4: hundred and ninety nine games and he scratches him for
Speaker 4: game fifteen hundred and I think it was the last
Speaker 4: four games of his season in Detroit and never got
Speaker 4: to fifteen.
Speaker 3: I mean, just the mind game stopped that.
Speaker 5: Mine stick to hockey mind games, always mind games with
Speaker 5: this guy.
Speaker 4: But hey, but good coach, undoubtedly interesting nineteen head coaches
Speaker 4: now in Edmonton Oyer's history. The winningest coach in ebonton
Speaker 4: Oida's history. You know it's not it's Jay Woodcroft. If
Speaker 4: you go by winning percentage six forty three, it's not
Speaker 4: even close. But now blocks actually second, it's six twenty four.
Speaker 3: Glenn Savor's third at six sixteen. You have to remember that.
Speaker 4: Say, there was there when the Oilers were on the
Speaker 4: rise with Gretzky, So there's there are some teams there
Speaker 4: that didn't win as much as you you might have thought.
Speaker 4: But Jay Woodcroft far and away winning his coach in
Speaker 4: Oil's history. He had a pretty good lineup to work with.
Speaker 4: I'm surprised he didn't get another chance. He will somewhere
Speaker 4: down the line, right crazy staff, because he was rumored
Speaker 4: for Toronto, even her talk maybe returning to Ebonton. But
Speaker 4: and then, by the way, amongst those nineteen head coaches,
Speaker 4: two former Canuck head coaches and Pat Quinn, I forgot
Speaker 4: about him is one season the late great Pat Quinn
Speaker 4: man I miss.
Speaker 3: Him and Tom Raymond Ray was there for sure, Perry
Speaker 3: was there for a while time. Okay, conuct News, what
Speaker 3: do you got?
Speaker 5: So this is a big week ahead, Don, I'm hearing
Speaker 5: Vancouver's open to anything, especially when it comes to veteran players.
Speaker 5: One team told me last night they have heard Elliotts, Petterson,
Speaker 5: brock Besser, and Jake Debrusk's name out on the market,
Speaker 5: the trade market, but they have not heard Philip Paronic's name.
Speaker 5: Now that could change any minute, But don we've been
Speaker 5: through this. When you have a young blue line of Vancouver,
Speaker 5: four guys they dressed under the age of twenty three,
Speaker 5: you can't have six rookie defensemen. You can't have You
Speaker 5: gotta have some veterans around to insulate those young kids.
Speaker 5: Heronic's also a candidate to be named captain. We'll see
Speaker 5: where it goes. I know that people have a condition.
Speaker 5: You're not going to name a captain. They will Malholtra
Speaker 5: told us, you know, and on Petterson. If the Canucks
Speaker 5: they have a deal, they will go to his agents
Speaker 5: and ask if your wave is no move. But his
Speaker 5: name is out there, don It is out there, big time,
Speaker 5: out there for.
Speaker 3: A long time.
Speaker 5: It's been out there for a long time. But his
Speaker 5: agents haven't been contacted. They have there's nothing going on
Speaker 5: with the agents right now. But his name's out there,
Speaker 5: big time, big time.
Speaker 4: Okay, I know we've had this conversation before, but Philip
Speaker 4: Heronic is a captain? Like why bother? Well, why do
Speaker 4: you have to have a captain.
Speaker 3: Of this stage?
Speaker 5: Why not? You're gonna have a young team. You got
Speaker 5: a bunch of young kids coming, you got a draft coming,
Speaker 5: You've got three drafts coming. There's a wave of kids coming.
Speaker 5: You don't think they need to look up to someone
Speaker 5: and have some leadership look up to me?
Speaker 3: Why does he have to have a letter?
Speaker 5: Well, like, see, you don't want to see he could
Speaker 5: be an a. He could be an A.
Speaker 3: Well, sure that that's fine.
Speaker 4: I think that we've had people on this show and
Speaker 4: You've seen people over the last few weeks talk about,
Speaker 4: you know, the role of the captain or how do
Speaker 4: you find a captain and sometimes it just it just
Speaker 4: happens over time, it's gonna be one of these young players,
Speaker 4: like I could say, honestly, I could see Vlander one
Speaker 4: day being the captain of this Tom Lander just the
Speaker 4: way it comes across absolutely, you know, real promising young
Speaker 4: young hockey player.
Speaker 3: Philip Proonic answering to the media, that shouldn't be your
Speaker 3: you know, it should be the number one consideration no
Speaker 3: matter who you acquire in.
Speaker 4: Any situation, should be how do they deal with the media?
Speaker 4: Will they go on Donnie and Dolly? That's that's that
Speaker 4: should be your number number one consideration.
Speaker 5: Trevor Lindon was a great captain. He was paying at
Speaker 5: a young age and and Trevor was a great captain.
Speaker 5: He was great with the media. But not everyone, Not
Speaker 5: every captain is great with the media.
Speaker 3: Bottom line, Well, who wasn't great with the media?
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm just saying. I'm just saying, not every single
Speaker 5: captain on every team.
Speaker 1: Part of the.
Speaker 6: Job, A part of the job, you're in the media, Okay,
Speaker 6: part of what How about I need him to be
Speaker 6: a good captain, guide the kids, be a good pro
Speaker 6: on and off the ice, Provide leadership on the ice,
Speaker 6: Provide leadership off the ice.
Speaker 4: Dot what do you have to answer for your club's
Speaker 4: performance good, good or bad to the media? Which is
Speaker 4: the liaison, the connection between the club, your business and
Speaker 4: your customers.
Speaker 3: It's an important role.
Speaker 4: They'll they'll find themselves. A camptain Philip Ronok would be
Speaker 4: a mistake at this point. Maybe somewhere down the line,
Speaker 4: but not right now. And Adam Foot officially to Utah's
Speaker 4: and assistant.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's there and he did really well on his contract, Donnie.
Speaker 5: And Adam Foot is going to be the defenseman coach
Speaker 5: in Utah and he is off there. I wanted to
Speaker 5: mention this don Teddy Blueger won't be back. He's going
Speaker 5: to hit the free agent market. So the connects are
Speaker 5: going to be looking for a centerment.
Speaker 3: You know what, remember what if they trade Pederson?
Speaker 5: Well, okay, so do you give atu Ratu more of
Speaker 5: a chance now do you? They signed that big Russian
Speaker 5: Donnie Ela Shaffanov. They got to give him a long
Speaker 5: look at training camp. He's got a European clause in
Speaker 5: his contract.
Speaker 3: Don your European cli is in that he won't go
Speaker 3: down to abas.
Speaker 5: For he will, So you got to make room first
Speaker 5: half and half and off. But anyways, listen, don listen.
Speaker 5: So you got you gotta make room for that kid.
Speaker 5: Braiden Coots is not far away. So does it make
Speaker 5: sense to give Blueger Donnie term when Braiden Coots Coots
Speaker 5: might be an absper next year and then ready for
Speaker 5: the NHL. You got to make room for the kids.
Speaker 5: You gotta make they might get a centerment in this
Speaker 5: year's draft. You got to make room for the kids.
Speaker 5: Signing a thirty one year old Blueger to an extension
Speaker 5: with term, maybe you're gonna take away ice time from
Speaker 5: those young kids.
Speaker 4: Okay, so why you want to keep ronic? To help
Speaker 4: out the kids? But you get rid of Blueger?
Speaker 5: Yeah and a great leader. And remember he ripped the
Speaker 5: team for not enough caring. Yeah, but he's thirty one.
Speaker 5: Heronic's not thirty one.
Speaker 3: Done.
Speaker 5: The age plays a factor. Look at this guy. You
Speaker 5: know you're contradicting, You're not contradicting myself. Blooger's thirty one.
Speaker 5: It makes a big difference.
Speaker 4: Well, no, we you still want vectors there. Look, I'll
Speaker 4: say what I said before we started the show, before
Speaker 4: he went to air, is that years ago Trevor Linden
Speaker 4: made this point. I think it was on this show
Speaker 4: that you don't you need the odd veteran in there
Speaker 4: who is okay with being here in a rebuild, okay,
Speaker 4: because like you can go with all kids and lose
Speaker 4: eight too every night.
Speaker 5: You don't want that. But you don't want that, so
Speaker 5: now you're green. You want to be competitive and lose.
Speaker 5: You don't want to be losing.
Speaker 4: But three two four two, and then the odd winds
Speaker 4: sprinkled in there, and then you win the lottery and
Speaker 4: you get land in DuPont. It's all, it's all there,
Speaker 4: but you don't want to you know, every night you
Speaker 4: don't even its completely demoralized. You don't want to get
Speaker 4: god veteran. But what what if they lose? What if
Speaker 4: they lose Blueger and they trade Peterson? They better get
Speaker 4: some centers back.
Speaker 5: Right they while they were in on Michael, you.
Speaker 3: Go on and on. No, they've got no centers. You
Speaker 3: wanted them to get rid of Peterson. They were looking
Speaker 3: at him.
Speaker 5: So anyways, he's gone.
Speaker 3: He's he's gone.
Speaker 5: He's not he's gone. He's got They better get sized,
Speaker 5: toughness and more Canadians this summer.
Speaker 1: Right heronic twenty nine in November?
Speaker 5: By the way, Yeah he's twenty nine. Yeahs thirty one. Wait,
Speaker 5: he's not thirty thirty one, thirty two, thirty three, thirty four.
Speaker 5: So there you go.
Speaker 1: He'll be thirty four at the end of the contract. Brick,
Speaker 1: Do you think I get that?
Speaker 5: So? Do you want the Canucks to dress six defensemen
Speaker 5: under the age of twenty four every night?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 1: You just said it.
Speaker 5: You're okay with losing blue You're talking about the blue line.
Speaker 5: I'm talking about the blue line. He just doesn't like
Speaker 5: six defenseman under the age of twenty four every night. No,
Speaker 5: see how they do that, Ryan.
Speaker 1: But here's your here's your thing. You're missing. If you
Speaker 1: trade a veteran doesn't mean you can't acquire or sign
Speaker 1: a veteran.
Speaker 5: Like right now, how many vet how many UFAs want
Speaker 5: to come to Vancouver? None? Thank you and the conversation, but.
Speaker 1: You always say it, there's only thirty two jobs as well.
Speaker 3: Okay, does blue girl want to be here?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 5: That's between him and his agent and the canucksy. I
Speaker 5: was told he's hitting the market. He's hitting the market,
Speaker 5: so they don't get him fined. By the way, Centerman
Speaker 5: teams are just desperate for centerment, so he'll he'll find
Speaker 5: a home on July Firth Cannocks aren't. Well yeah, apparently not.
Speaker 5: He got you with that heronic No, no, no, it's
Speaker 5: not that a blue line is different than the forward group.
Speaker 5: There's twelve forwards. When you have the Canucks stress four
Speaker 5: defenseman under the age of twenty three last year, that's
Speaker 5: pretty young. Sure, not many NHL blue lines have that
Speaker 5: many young kids. Give me the case for keeping him.
Speaker 5: I just told you you need to insulate those young
Speaker 5: kids with veteran defenseman to bring in another veteran trade
Speaker 5: your most impressive trade ship. What veteran wants to come
Speaker 5: to Vancouver right now if you overpay him.
Speaker 4: Okay, we're going in circle. Yeah, we're going to Cirtain.
Speaker 4: No veteran wants to Let's just leave it this way.
Speaker 3: I was right.
Speaker 4: Here's what's coming up on the show a DTMZ is
Speaker 4: it is me. In the eleven o'clock hour, Sean Millington
Speaker 4: is going into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame BC

Speaker 3: officially named Mike Babcock as their head coach, we bring
Speaker 3: in TSN Scouting Director Craig Button. Craig, thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 9: I am fantastic. How are you gentlemen doing and joining
Speaker 9: the World Cup?
Speaker 4: Oh, oh my gosh, how can you not? Vancouver has
Speaker 4: been buzzing, Craig, Absolutely, but how about you?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I love the world couple love soccer.
Speaker 9: It's been fantastic and you can feel, you can without
Speaker 9: being present, you can feel the vibes and you know,
Speaker 9: hearing about the excitement from the people that are present
Speaker 9: in Toronto and in Vancouver really is fantastic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been so special, Craig. Let's start out with
Speaker 3: the news they has talked about just your reaction to
Speaker 3: the oilers, making it official and hiring Mike Babcock.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I think there's a couple of things that you talk
Speaker 9: about when you speak about Mike Babcock. The first thing
Speaker 9: you talk about is what a good coach he is.
Speaker 9: Number two you talk about is some of his past
Speaker 9: behaviors that are totally unacceptable. I just hope, and I've
Speaker 9: known Mike a long time, and I just hope Mike
Speaker 9: just acknowledges the error of his pastways and commits to
Speaker 9: making sure that he doesn't repeat any of those because
Speaker 9: as a coach, his record and his resume speaks volumes.
Speaker 9: But the narrative is not about Mike Badcock the coach.
Speaker 9: It's about Mike Babcock the way he's treated people. So again,
Speaker 9: I may have said this to you both previously. I'm
Speaker 9: a big believer in a Maya a Julou's comment, do
Speaker 9: the best you can to you know better, and when
Speaker 9: you know better, be better.
Speaker 10: Mike knows better, so it's time for him to be better.
Speaker 4: Craig, we talked so much about what you just talked about,
Speaker 4: what he has done off the ice and the mind
Speaker 4: games and the manipulation and the bullying. But what does
Speaker 4: he do well as a head coach when he sticks
Speaker 4: to hockey.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I mean I think that you watch.
Speaker 9: I mean he organizes a team to be really good
Speaker 9: in understanding what you have to do with the pocket,
Speaker 9: what you have to do without the puck, and the
Speaker 9: defensive zone and the neutral zone, and he really stresses
Speaker 9: how what one player does is going to impact another player.
Speaker 9: So we use the term connected, but those connections and
Speaker 9: it's like like a.
Speaker 10: Wire connection, but.
Speaker 9: It's not all the way in, it's not going to
Speaker 9: work and it's full function. So he gets them plugged
Speaker 9: in the right way, and he really understands how to
Speaker 9: get a team to perform to the best of their bill.
Speaker 10: He's individually in actively.
Speaker 9: Second to that, he prepares a team to go out
Speaker 9: to play and doesn't matter who you're playing, where you're playing,
Speaker 9: when you're playing. He really does a fantastic job of
Speaker 9: preparing a team to go out with a game plan
Speaker 9: that gives them a chance and confidence is probably greater
Speaker 9: to go out and execute to be able to end
Speaker 9: up on the right side of a game.
Speaker 10: And I don't he's done it.
Speaker 9: He's done it at the Olympics, He's done in the
Speaker 9: Stanley Cup playoffs, the Stanley Cup winning it. He's done
Speaker 9: it at different times, He's done it with different types
Speaker 9: of teams, and I think that those are things that
Speaker 9: are really important for any coach. How you organize your team,
Speaker 9: how you organizing your play, how.
Speaker 10: Consistent you are on your play.
Speaker 9: And Mike has a high standard and he doesn't let
Speaker 9: you slip below that standard with respect to your playing
Speaker 9: and the methods and some of the things you just
Speaker 9: talked about. You know, coaches in the past and all
Speaker 9: sports have used different tactics that cannot be used today.
Speaker 9: And I think again when I talk about Mike learning
Speaker 9: from it from his past and making sure he doesn't
Speaker 9: repeat them or really really important for him in.
Speaker 10: This job with the Eminton Owners.
Speaker 9: But as a coach, his record speaks volumes and that's
Speaker 9: how he gets his teams what.
Speaker 10: I would say to play to the best of their abilities.
Speaker 5: Hey, Craig Brady Concheck says, I want to go leaves
Speaker 5: ont wines up in Florida's brother left Calgary, Quinn Hughes
Speaker 5: left Vancouver. Should Canadian teams be worried.
Speaker 10: No, I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Ray.
Speaker 10: I think it's too early to make that leap.
Speaker 9: Quinn Hughes left Vancouver because he didn't feel that the
Speaker 9: Vancouver Canucks had a chance to be successful.
Speaker 10: Yes, you know, it's very interesting and and.
Speaker 9: The reason that Dylan Larkin has not had he's a
Speaker 9: Michigan guy. We're going to be concerned about mission guys
Speaker 9: leaving Michigan and being captain of the Red Wings. He's leaving.
Speaker 9: He's put his request then because he doesn't believe that
Speaker 9: there's a chance to be successful in Detroit.
Speaker 10: He's been there a long time, So you know, do
Speaker 10: you like that? Do you not like that?
Speaker 9: You don't keep this in mind? Do we talk about
Speaker 9: Rick Talkeett leaving Vancouver? Ye, like Rick Talkin had a year,
Speaker 9: had an option on a contract, he decided to leave.
Speaker 9: Do we talk about Himley why did he leave? And
Speaker 9: we all well, opportunity? Well, I think he left for
Speaker 9: the same reason quid herest. So I'm just giving you
Speaker 9: a couple examples. I don't I think Brady ku Chuck
Speaker 9: wanted to leave. I don't think it was anything about
Speaker 9: how the run. Michael Landlauer and Steve Sales have done
Speaker 9: a good job. Travis Greed is an excellent coach. I
Speaker 9: don't think I think he just wanted to leave. That's
Speaker 9: going to happen. Sometimes players just want to leave despite
Speaker 9: your best efforts. But I think that it's way too
Speaker 9: premature to start talking about Canadian players leaving to go
Speaker 9: to other places, because we're seeing it with Dylan Larkin.
Speaker 9: But this isn't the first player that we've seen, you know,
Speaker 9: you know, opt out of the place they're in to
Speaker 9: say I'll go to I'll go to a different spot.
Speaker 5: All Right, I read something we're.
Speaker 9: Talking about Canadians, Rick, Just to be clear, I'm not
Speaker 9: talking about Canadian I'm talking about players anywhere.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no, I got what you were saying. I
Speaker 5: read on TSN today you believe that the Canucks will
Speaker 5: take calebleholtret three and Liam Ruckett.
Speaker 10: I don't believe that.
Speaker 9: I'm doing a mock draft. I'm not having some fun
Speaker 9: where I think it would be a good fit.
Speaker 5: Okay, I don't.
Speaker 9: I don't work in the believe world because that's a
Speaker 9: that's a world, Rick and Gone, and you guys know
Speaker 9: it very well. I mean that takes a lot of work.
Speaker 9: The people that work in that area invest a lot
Speaker 9: of time.
Speaker 10: I'm doing a mock draft.
Speaker 9: Obviously you have some idea of where players fit into
Speaker 9: the draft, and I try to make it about where
Speaker 9: I think a player could be a really good fit,
Speaker 9: considering where they're kind of fitting into the draft, and
Speaker 9: then have some fun then let so.
Speaker 10: That's how I feel. It's not where I believe. I'm
Speaker 10: not trying to predict the draft.
Speaker 9: I'm just trying to have some fun with the mock
Speaker 9: draft and who I think could be good players for
Speaker 9: a particular team.
Speaker 5: You still think McKenna goes number one, Craig.
Speaker 11: Uh do?
Speaker 9: I think I do, And I'll tell you why. And
Speaker 9: and let me just say this too. We did a
Speaker 9: mock draft today and we had Mahuture going three, and
Speaker 9: we had some fun with Liam and Marcus right the
Speaker 9: Canucks we had to make a trade and talked about
Speaker 9: the Sedines and the great maneuver by now the latest
Speaker 9: inductee to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Brian Burke, and
Speaker 9: which I consider to be the greatest draft da maneuver.
Speaker 9: It was a masterclass in draft day maneuvering by by
Speaker 9: Brian Burke.
Speaker 10: So I think that you know.
Speaker 9: You got Daniel and Henrick who were so great together,
Speaker 9: Marcus and Liam, who are so great together? And why
Speaker 9: not have the BC kids joined the Vancouver Canucks And
Speaker 9: you know it was more of a lot of fun,
Speaker 9: uh And and they're good players, and they're really good players.
Speaker 10: And certainly, you know.
Speaker 9: You guys and everybody in Vancouver saw what the Sedines
Speaker 9: meant to Vancouver Canucks. And I think that if Marcus
Speaker 9: and Liam can have similar type impact on a team,
Speaker 9: that'd be pretty special. Now, to answer your question about
Speaker 9: am I sure that Toronto's gonna draft McK no? But
Speaker 9: I think there's some indication on the direction. You know,
Speaker 9: they trade for Ramel Andre trying to get a better
Speaker 9: puck moving defenseman into the group. They signed Darren Radish
Speaker 9: to help their power play that right shot defenseman. They
Speaker 9: John Chaca I think has focused in on what can
Speaker 9: this team be this year in terms of competing for
Speaker 9: a playoff spot. What does it mean with their captain
Speaker 9: Austin Matthews to try to.
Speaker 10: Get back to a level he loses Mitch Marner.
Speaker 9: It hurts obviously, player of Austin Matthews caliber because he
Speaker 9: doesn't have that point making a winger with him now.
Speaker 10: But kind of fits that bill, I mean, obviously.
Speaker 9: You're not going to come in and do what Mitch
Speaker 9: Marner did right off the bat, but instead direction that
Speaker 9: leads me to believe that McKenna would be a really
Speaker 9: good fit for the Toronto Maypleace with the first overall.
Speaker 5: Pick, Hey, Greig, Brian Brooke. You mentioned he's going to
Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame. We've all been yelled at by
Speaker 5: Brian and we love covering him. He's been absolutely great
Speaker 5: in Vancouver. He really was. I grew up listening Donnie
Speaker 5: and I did in the eighties to his radio hit
Speaker 5: every Wednesday. Tell us some Brian Burke stories when you
Speaker 5: were a GM you gotta have some. Well, you yelled
Speaker 5: at by Adam like we.
Speaker 3: Weren't deal with him a lot when you were in
Speaker 3: the front office.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, Brian whispered. He never really talked very much.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 9: I laughed yesterday when he got the call from the
Speaker 9: Hall with Mike Gartner and Ron Francis and he said,
Speaker 9: I'm gonna loss for words, and Ron Francis said, that's
Speaker 9: a first, and I.
Speaker 10: Think we all know.
Speaker 9: Let me say a couple of things about Brian and
Speaker 9: then you know, and I think he's a worthy inductee
Speaker 9: to the Hockey All fame.
Speaker 10: I think he's a Hall of Famer. And he started
Speaker 10: as an agent.
Speaker 9: He represented players along with Bob Goodno and Bob Goodnell,
Speaker 9: the former executive director, the late executive director, the late
Speaker 9: Bob Goodnow who was a former executive director of the PA.
Speaker 9: Him and Brian always were working the very best for
Speaker 9: what they felt was in the player's best interest.
Speaker 10: And then he.
Speaker 9: Learned at the hand of Pat Quinn. I mean, like,
Speaker 9: how lucky is Brian Burke. Then he ends up going
Speaker 9: as a manager to Hartford. That was a short period
Speaker 9: of time, but then he went to the NHL and
Speaker 9: he became so important for a new commissioner.
Speaker 10: By the name of Gary Bettman.
Speaker 9: And then he comes back to Vancouver, he gets that
Speaker 9: team back on track, ends up in Anaheim, helps him
Speaker 9: win a Stanley Cup, and everywhere Brian has gone, he's
Speaker 9: really dug into the community. You heard Daniel and Henrick
Speaker 9: talk about how much they learned with Brian and how
Speaker 9: much the community matters and how they want to get
Speaker 9: back to that.
Speaker 10: That's the influence.
Speaker 9: But Brian always wanted to help people be the very
Speaker 9: best they could be, and sometimes that meant yelling at
Speaker 9: you telling you to be better. That meant sometimes yelling
Speaker 9: at you to say, hey, don't be a dumbass. But
Speaker 9: you knew where you stood with Brian, and I always
Speaker 9: appreciated that about Brian.
Speaker 10: Brian went and he worked in big markets, He had
Speaker 10: big jobs.
Speaker 9: He worked with the PWHL and he worked with their
Speaker 9: players Association to try to help them. You think about
Speaker 9: the right to play and the LGBTQA community and how
Speaker 9: supportive he has been in that community.
Speaker 10: It's not just Brian the hockey guy.
Speaker 9: It's Brian the person who was invested himself in communities
Speaker 9: and invested in trying to help everybody, regardless of who
Speaker 9: you are, be the best you can be. You know,
Speaker 9: I ran into a situation and it tells you, it
Speaker 9: tells me. I've known Brian a long time, and I
Speaker 9: ran into a situation where we had a scenario with
Speaker 9: the CBA where a trade got approved it shouldn't have
Speaker 9: been approved, and we're trying now to deal through it,
Speaker 9: and Brian, Brian's advocated with other gentlemen. We're all working
Speaker 9: on it, and with Bob Goodnow, who is the head
Speaker 9: of the PA at the time, to say listen, this
Speaker 9: is a silly.
Speaker 10: Rule, and Craig's a good guy.
Speaker 9: There's no intention on the league's part, there's no malice
Speaker 9: on anybody's.
Speaker 10: Part that led to this. So let's just make.
Speaker 9: Sure that we move forward and we don't get stuck
Speaker 9: on it. Now, a number of managers got stuck on it.
Speaker 9: And Brian phoned me and he said, Craig, he goes,
Speaker 9: I know you're disappointed. I know you're going to feel
Speaker 9: the responsibility and the weight of this, and that's his part,
Speaker 9: and Parcel being a manager. But understand that sometimes despite
Speaker 9: things being right and despite the decision being very obvious
Speaker 9: for what should be taken, people are going to disappoint you.
Speaker 9: And I say this about Brian all the time. His
Speaker 9: initials on his shirt sleeve say BPB. There's Brian Public Burke,
Speaker 9: which we know and we've seen. There's Brian piet Private Burke,
Speaker 9: and Brian Burke is a friend. I know if I
Speaker 9: ever ran into a problem, I could phone Brian Burke.
Speaker 10: He would do everything to help me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, said Craig.
Speaker 4: We'll leave it at that, and then I love this
Speaker 4: a mock draft you have, By the way, We're going
Speaker 4: to talk about that at a little bit more. We'll
Speaker 4: talk to you next week or our final week before
Speaker 4: we go on our summer break, and a draft will
Speaker 4: have happened, so we'll have a lot to talk about.
Speaker 9: Appreciate this, yeah, and free agency will be on the ball,
Speaker 9: even free agency.
Speaker 10: So away we go.
Speaker 3: Perfect, have fun, Thanks Greg, appreciate it.
Speaker 10: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Anyway. You will have fun at the draft too.
Speaker 4: But he has got If you look at his mock draft,
Speaker 4: Antia said the Canucks taking calib Mahultra over Iver Stenberg three.
Speaker 4: Stanberg was four to the Hawks. You mentioned this Liam
Speaker 4: Rock at twenty four. And then he has the Canucks
Speaker 4: making a deal with Saint Louis for the twenty ninth pick.
Speaker 4: And it hasn't Lias Peterson's name been thrown around when
Speaker 4: it comes to the blueser.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, there you will, There you go. The Ruck
Speaker 5: brothers end up in Vancouver.
Speaker 4: Recording to Craig Dean's Part two. Maybe okay, a break
Speaker 4: pull question. We'll let it reduce it. Next, Donnie Doll

Speaker 4: get her.
Speaker 5: Up the Waterling Dog. Pop poll question. Are you confident
Speaker 5: the Canucks will trade a veteran with term between now
Speaker 5: and July? First look at this. Sixty four percent say yes,
Speaker 5: but thirty six percent say no. We know names out
Speaker 5: there are Elis Peterson, Brockbesser, Jake debrask, Philipronik. We know
Speaker 5: those names are being ban teaed about. Debrusque makes the
Speaker 5: most sense. He's the easiest cap guy to move Donnie
Speaker 5: out of all of them.
Speaker 3: He really is.
Speaker 5: And uh, you know he scores twenty goals every year.
Speaker 3: I would expect ninety nine percent of them on the
Speaker 3: power play on.
Speaker 5: The power play. Absolutely, but there's some team out out
Speaker 5: there don struggling on the power play. Get Debrusque help
Speaker 5: the power play. You know what might be a fit.
Speaker 4: Somewhere if we listed like who who fans want, our
Speaker 4: customers want traded?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a runaway. It's Leahs Petterson is Patterson by
Speaker 3: a country mile, but and a lot lot.
Speaker 4: I mean the contract plus performance equals maybe it's time
Speaker 4: to move on.
Speaker 3: Is this not unreasonable?
Speaker 5: Does he look like a rebuild guy to you? You know,
Speaker 5: you want your veterans, you know, good pros on and
Speaker 5: off the ice. Young kids look up to them and
Speaker 5: all that stuffy things change. Oh well maybe okay.
Speaker 4: So I Meanwhile, we've got a new client, a new
Speaker 4: sponsor for our show, RBC Royal Bank of Canada.
Speaker 5: Very happy to report a new era is underway and
Speaker 5: RBC is proud to be the newest partner of your

Speaker 5: six twenty seven home opener, proudly presented by RBC. Your
Speaker 5: ideas happen here at RBC.
Speaker 4: For the last several seasons, we've seen the TD the
Speaker 4: Toronto Dominion green patch on the Kanuck uniforms. That's going
Speaker 4: to change this coming season, RBC. Their logo will now
Speaker 4: be looking on the Knucks uniforms.
Speaker 3: Look at that.
Speaker 5: So right there to the left side of the jersey
Speaker 5: above the Orca Whale, RBC proud sponsor of the Vancouver
Speaker 5: Canucks and Donnie and Dolly.
Speaker 3: RBC does it not sponsor the Montreal Canadian Do they know?
Speaker 5: They do? They have the ar I think there's Carolina too.
Speaker 5: I think I knew a few years back here.
Speaker 4: Okay, but in terms of Canadian team, yeah, Montreal Canadians
Speaker 4: do have the RBC patch up. I'm not mistaken. It's
Speaker 4: no big surprise. But man, you're just all over that.
Speaker 4: You just love the corporate stuff.
Speaker 5: I love the corporate stuff and I also used that.
Speaker 5: I also use that bank, so I know the service
Speaker 5: is great, I know the people are great, and I
Speaker 5: know it's a good place to go.
Speaker 4: I use RBC because when I was a kid with
Speaker 4: a paper route, Oh, it was the bank Hastings and
Speaker 4: Rosser for in Bey that my buddy, you also had
Speaker 4: a paper route used I didn't.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think my parents were involved with
Speaker 3: another bank. But where should I go? You know, my
Speaker 3: fourteen year old friend RBC?
Speaker 5: RBC?
Speaker 4: Okay, so there you go. RBC linked up with Donnie
Speaker 4: Dolly and the Canucks. Okay, back to the Hockey Hall
Speaker 4: of Fame for a second.
Speaker 3: The Hockey Hall of Fame announced yesterday it's twenty twenty
Speaker 3: six inductees.
Speaker 4: The voting took place on Monday, and there they are
Speaker 4: Patrice Berzron, Carrie Price, BC boy Peca Rene, Keith Kachuk,
Speaker 4: Cindy Curley. She's from Massachusetts, early pioneer of women's hockey.
Speaker 4: We mentioned Brian Burke. The one thing that sticks out
Speaker 4: for me is someone who's not there. The voting took
Speaker 4: place on Monday. How's Rod Brindemore not in the Hockey
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame? How does he not get enough votes?
Speaker 5: On what he will get in eventually? Did you say
Speaker 5: this morning that k Chuk took fourteen years to get in?
Speaker 3: I believe so.
Speaker 5: Okay, So if Ka Chuck took fourteen good week for
Speaker 5: that family, Yeah, exactly on the day that Brady got traded,
Speaker 5: Ka Chuck found out he was going to the Hall
Speaker 5: of Fame. But if Brady, if the dad took fourteen
Speaker 5: years to get in, Rod will get in. Rod Brandamore's
Speaker 5: got to get in. His numbers are across the board.
Speaker 5: He's won the Cup.
Speaker 3: How does he not get in on Monday? I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't get it, like pecer Rene has has. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna focus on him for a second. It but his
Speaker 4: resume versus Rod Brindemore's not even close.
Speaker 3: I mean, all due.
Speaker 4: Respect in eighteen or fifteen seasons with Nashville, great numbers,
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen vesna for PECERINNI, but Rod Brindemore well over
Speaker 4: a thousand points, well over a thousand games. As a player,
Speaker 4: wins the Stanley Cup, he won Selkies, he want you
Speaker 4: want a couple of saws, and as a coach wins
Speaker 4: an Adams Award and a Stanley Cup, and has really
Speaker 4: played a big part in holding together that Carolina Hurricanes franchise,
Speaker 4: which hasn't always been great, folks. I just find it surprising.
Speaker 3: That he wouldn't. He wouldn't get in like I I'm
Speaker 3: versus some other people here.
Speaker 5: We talk about Rod Brindomore every year. Why is the
Speaker 5: Campbell River native not in the Hall of Fame? And
Speaker 5: Brian Brooks there, I got a say this. I grew
Speaker 5: up listening to Brian every Wednesday on Radio don He will.
Speaker 3: Say whose show.
Speaker 5: It was?
Speaker 3: Dan Russell.
Speaker 4: Rick doesn't want to but anyways, but anyway, it was
Speaker 4: a great show sports Talk and w Burkey was on
Speaker 4: every Wednesday.
Speaker 5: Everyone must listen to radio. And listening to him on
Speaker 5: the radio every Wednesday, we just everybody gathered by the radio,
Speaker 5: little Ricky and uh I tell you right now, Donnie,
Speaker 5: it was must listen to radio.
Speaker 4: Well, I think the thing that people forget is that
Speaker 4: when Pat Quinn took over and Brian Brooke was an
Speaker 4: agent and he made made Brian Burke assistant GM of
Speaker 4: the Vancouver Canucks. If people forget what a down period
Speaker 4: that was for the Canucks.
Speaker 3: Horrible, horrible.
Speaker 4: So Pat makes all these moves. Remember his first big
Speaker 4: trade was getting Kirk McClain and Greg app stole them
Speaker 4: from New Jersey for Patrick Sunstrom. But beyond that, he
Speaker 4: let Brian do a lot of the media. Here I
Speaker 4: go with the media to talk again. They needed to
Speaker 4: sell the team, they needed to sell the product at
Speaker 4: the time, okay, and Brian Berg did a masterful job
Speaker 4: of that. No matter where he was throughout the world,
Speaker 4: throughout the hockey world, he made time to talk with
Speaker 4: Dan every Wednesday and that and he was he would
Speaker 4: rip into people, he would praise people, He was just
Speaker 4: such a great interview and that helped sell the team
Speaker 4: at a time when it needed help, because you know,
Speaker 4: you remember the coliseum at the time was half empty
Speaker 4: for a lot of pat and Brian and Bob McCammon
Speaker 4: came along, Trevor Linden Pavell. You saw promise, you saw
Speaker 4: hope there and Brian played a big part in that.
Speaker 4: And then of course he comes back after being there
Speaker 4: for one season GM of the Hartford Wheelers didn't work
Speaker 4: out there, goes to the NHL head office with Gary
Speaker 4: Bettman and then he become GM the Canucks again and
Speaker 4: he pulled off and Craig Button just talked about it.
Speaker 4: One of the most masterful forget draft day trades trades
Speaker 4: period of all time. And he manages the land, both sedines,
Speaker 4: so there's a lot there and on he went to
Speaker 4: the Leafs winsor Stanley probably to the Ducks wins the
Speaker 4: Stanley Cup. There the Leafs and Calgary and Pittsburgh. But
Speaker 4: boy was he something else when he was here both times.
Speaker 4: If you ask me, we've all been yelled at by Brian,
Speaker 4: which is fine. He's also given us praise as well,
Speaker 4: but he cared, he returned season ticket to the grace
Speaker 4: part he returned season ticket holders emails and calls. Season
Speaker 4: ticket holders would get calls going, hey, Hi, it's Brian Burke.
Speaker 4: You had a complaint and he cared for me. Brian
Speaker 4: Burke and Packquinn were the two best executives this team
Speaker 4: has ever had. And it's not close, okay, So congratulations
Speaker 4: to Brian Burke, to Brian Burke and and everybody. Everybody.

Speaker 1: something something, but it was traded this past September from
Speaker 1: Montreal to San Jose. He is appending UFA coming up
Speaker 1: here Carry Price this summer.
Speaker 3: So it's too busy doing ads, you know.

Speaker 4: as a coach. And what more does he have to do?
Speaker 1: There's the caption, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 12: And he's shirtless an incredibly good shape. You see him
Speaker 12: again on the weekend at the parade.
Speaker 3: Well, the player has ripped the shirt off his back.
Speaker 1: There's no fat on him. It's incredible. Like I would
Speaker 1: argue he's in better shape now.
Speaker 3: Ryan.
Speaker 5: It's called eating right and working on.
Speaker 1: Not like that, Rick, Like that's a commitment.
Speaker 3: Why are you like that?
Speaker 5: Right? But I try, I try, But you're not as
Speaker 5: trim as he is. But I don't spend three hours
Speaker 5: in the gym like he does.
Speaker 1: That's true. But yeah, it was very very impressive.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: The other thing we haven't talked about yet today the news.
Speaker 3: You want to talk more about what he looks like shirtless.
Speaker 3: No I shub of him not again getting into the
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame back.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, well no, I think that should be
Speaker 1: added to his candidacy.
Speaker 3: You know, I think incredibly good looking.
Speaker 4: You know what I think it is is that the
Speaker 4: you know, the powers that be Hockey Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3: Like he's going to get there, he's had a pretty
Speaker 3: good week. Let's let's give it to someone else.
Speaker 1: That's wrong.
Speaker 12: I know, it's it's the same thing like what did
Speaker 12: you say fourteen years with Chun That that's wrong to me?
Speaker 1: Like if you want to give a guy maybe five
Speaker 1: years or something like.
Speaker 3: Why why all Hall of Fames are like that?
Speaker 1: I know, and I don't get the ruling, like so
Speaker 1: you weren't good enough for thirteen years or fourteen years
Speaker 1: and now oh now you can. And I know it's
Speaker 1: sometimes right.
Speaker 3: Sometimes past is.
Speaker 12: So large you're not gonna get in, right, But that's
Speaker 12: too long in my opinion, I don't think.
Speaker 3: There should be a time restruction.
Speaker 1: Yes, if he was All of Famer, he should be
Speaker 1: All of Famer within five years. If it's not All
Speaker 1: of Famer within five years, that's it. Just our team.
Speaker 1: But I'm also a small hall guy. Some people are larger.
Speaker 1: I will agree, I'm a small hall guy. Like I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3: The problem, I agree when you look at some.
Speaker 1: Other people, no disrespect, like amazing career Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: though that's a massive label. Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4: I think they want to cover all bases too, And
Speaker 4: to get a European is probably a big in there
Speaker 4: is probably a big deal.
Speaker 1: But that's wrong. Is that what we're doing now? We're
Speaker 1: checking boxes.
Speaker 12: Gotta have a European, gotta have this, gotta have that,
Speaker 12: like yeah, come on, man, like.
Speaker 3: Well, And the problem with the Hall of Fame, the
Speaker 3: Hockey Hall of Fame, and I think most hall of
Speaker 3: fames is when you look at some of the people
Speaker 3: who are in some hall of fames around here are
Speaker 3: the same. But so you look at some of the people.
Speaker 4: Who are in the Hall of Fame, yeah from years ago,
Speaker 4: and it's like what I mean there, I'm gonna say this.
Speaker 4: There are people in the Hockey Hall of Fame with
Speaker 4: Toronto maple leaf connections who I'm like, okay that if
Speaker 4: he gets in, then there's a gazillion people who should.
Speaker 5: Call who's on the committee it comes down to who's
Speaker 5: on the committee. It was, wasn't al Arboro on the
Speaker 5: committee for years? Well, pack Quinn was on pack Quinn
Speaker 5: was on the committee.
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't Lanny Is he the head of it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Now Mike Gartner's taken over. Yeah, I'm not totally aware.
Speaker 12: John Shannon knows a lot about the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 12: the ins and outs of the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: I mean, Pecrenni went a vesident in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3: Is John joining us this week? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Tomorrow?
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: He did win a silver medal at the twenty fourteen
Speaker 1: World Championships, if I have that correctly, Yeah, twenty fourteen,
Speaker 1: uh pecrene. Because the one thing I think we do
Speaker 1: need to remember is it's not an NHL Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame exactly.
Speaker 12: So sometimes I played player hall of fame. Sometimes that
Speaker 12: plays into it. Is what you've done in the international
Speaker 12: stage and all that. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Just to me, John Garrett, the late great, I still
Speaker 4: have a problem saying that shut out to Sarah, his daughter.
Speaker 4: But he used to always make the point that why
Speaker 4: aren't players like I believe the player? He was a
Speaker 4: Penguin's prospect, minor leaguer for Lanka Jock Calendar. Just incredible
Speaker 4: minor hockey league career. But why if it's the Hockey
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame, John needs.
Speaker 3: To point it.
Speaker 4: Why aren't players who've done really well at the American
Speaker 4: Hockey League level or International Hockey league when it was
Speaker 4: a thing. Why are they not getting it? I had
Speaker 4: a pretty good minor hockey career, you know, dude.
Speaker 1: You you're in two hall ofs of fame.
Speaker 3: Be grateful for that, and shouldn't be in either.
Speaker 5: And there should be a ball hockey Hall of Fame,
Speaker 5: because if there was, I would be in it. Great hands.
Speaker 5: Is there a ball hockey Hall of Fame?
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume no, And if there is, you're
Speaker 1: not a ball some of.
Speaker 5: The best all hockey teams and he'll he'll back me up.
Speaker 5: And you would know this come from British Columbia when
Speaker 5: they go to the Canadian Nationals, the New West Astros,
Speaker 5: I think you was you the Burnaby beaver Steevers here, Yeah,
Speaker 5: Beaver's and New Astros went to the Canadians. A lot
Speaker 5: of good ball hockey players in British clubs.
Speaker 1: I played ball hockey for two seasons out of in
Speaker 1: a league Surrey.
Speaker 5: Yeah, in a league.
Speaker 3: Ye wasn't it noon our floor hockey?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I did that. I was in the Mirrow
Speaker 1: champion with fleetwand Park I believe.
Speaker 3: Then why are you in the Hall of Fox exactly?
Speaker 12: Then I also played ball hockey in in in Surrey
Speaker 12: as well, so.
Speaker 3: The road doesn't come oh not in front of my
Speaker 3: house in Fleet.
Speaker 1: But I did that too.
Speaker 5: We're talking tournaments, Yeah, talking, I played. We're talking. I'll
Speaker 5: tell you, boy, I had good hands.
Speaker 3: Like did you actually play on the Astros or anything?
Speaker 5: No, I'm not on the Astros. But I was Newst Royals.
Speaker 5: But listen to me, New West Royals. It's just that
Speaker 5: there was a team in the eighties. But I'll tell
Speaker 5: you I had good hands. Like people, you're you're glossing
Speaker 5: over this career. Just people would go out of their
Speaker 5: way to say, hey.
Speaker 3: So did you in and organized people would say that.
Speaker 5: But the goal they would go out of the way
Speaker 5: and say hey, you know they would kid, I've.
Speaker 3: Heard who you were.
Speaker 4: Like you know, when you see Messi walking around like
Speaker 4: at the World Cup and then he pops in a goal.
Speaker 5: Incredibly, that's you. But I wouldn't backcheck and were in
Speaker 5: the offensive zone. Gold But I wouldn't backchack. That's not
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not here in Hall of Fame. No,
Speaker 5: I was basically Nikolai Goldobin.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's not Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5: I got news for you, Hey, Goldobin was a first
Speaker 5: round pick in the NH.
Speaker 3: How do you do in Vancouver?
Speaker 5: Not very good?
Speaker 1: He was was?
Speaker 11: He was?
Speaker 1: He the one at the first game breakaway.
Speaker 5: He scored in l A in his first game Goldobin,
Speaker 5: and everybody went nuts, specifically a media member.
Speaker 3: The mic found forwards remember Mike remember shout out his
Speaker 3: first game as a Canuck.
Speaker 12: Well, I mean, if if you were if you said
Speaker 12: hios close to Burret's debut, Goldobin had to be right
Speaker 12: there too.
Speaker 5: He's scored in his first game. You're right in LA.
Speaker 5: I think it was a breakaway and everybody would nuts
Speaker 5: and hype train heatlesview.
Speaker 3: Debut was one of the most impressive debuts by a
Speaker 3: forward and conducts history.
Speaker 1: Right there we go go and what a statement. Maybe
Speaker 1: Elliott Friedman next, we're waiting to see he's at the
Speaker 1: Board of Governors. He's very busy at the moment. We'll

Speaker 4: all of our guests, including Elliott Freeman, standing by brought
Speaker 4: to you by a title sponsor Able Auctions, Able Auctions
Speaker 4: dot ca a from Hockey Night in Canada and the
Speaker 4: thirty two Thoughts podcast. Elliott Friedman, I've just been informed,
Speaker 4: will join us in a matter of moments. He is
Speaker 4: in New York at the Board.
Speaker 3: Of Governors governors meeting. Do you know what they're discussing there?
Speaker 5: Board of governor stuff?

Speaker 5: Oh yeah, those meetings. The spread they get is unbelievable,
Speaker 5: I've heard.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Okay, so they're in New York Board of Governors meeting.
Speaker 4: We'll talk to well, we'll talk to Elliot about Chris,
Speaker 4: the Mike Babcock situation about to who or who is
Speaker 4: getting into the Hockey Hall of Fame, who's not getting
Speaker 4: into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3: What they're talking about in New York. I got him now, Okay,
Speaker 3: Elliott joins us down. Elliott, thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 13: I'm good?
Speaker 5: How are you guys? Lovely good?
Speaker 4: What's on the what's on the menu? And I don't
Speaker 4: mean lunch or dinner? Why what's on the menu? At
Speaker 4: the Board of Governors meeting in New York?
Speaker 13: I think where somebody said to me that they weren't
Speaker 13: that they weren't expecting it to be anything too major.
Speaker 13: But I have kind of wondered, if you know, we
Speaker 13: might hear anything about the possibility of expansion somewhere down
Speaker 13: the road. We're gonna wait and see. But other than that,
Speaker 13: I'm not expecting anything major, even that might not be.
Speaker 4: Major, Elliet, when it comes to let's let's stay on
Speaker 4: that subject. When it comes to expansion, what cities come
Speaker 4: to mind for you?
Speaker 13: Well, I think it's like there's been a lot to
Speaker 13: talk about Atlanta. I think that they will come when
Speaker 13: we eventually go back to Arizona, I think they'll do
Speaker 13: it right. Like the moment that they took the team
Speaker 13: out of there, I said, the day will come where
Speaker 13: Betman gets them back there. I've always believe that the
Speaker 13: biggest city without a team is Houston, you know, Like,
Speaker 13: those are the kinds of situations I'm thinking. I think
Speaker 13: we'll also get the finalization of the sale of the
Speaker 13: Penguins to the Hoffman family. I think that'll happen too,
Speaker 13: And other than that, I don't know if I'm expecting
Speaker 13: anything else.
Speaker 3: Major Mike Babcock. Meanwhile, Elliot as we switch gears here,
Speaker 3: named nineteenth head coach in Vonton Oilers history.
Speaker 4: Do you understand what the Edmonton Hockey Club is thinking.
Speaker 13: I do. I know what they're thinking. They're thinking that
Speaker 13: they need a tough coach, that they need somebody who
Speaker 13: can kind of dictate.
Speaker 8: They feel that.
Speaker 13: They've dictated too much the players and that it's a
Speaker 13: situation now where the players need to be dictated too,
Speaker 13: and that's kind of why they did this. Okay, guys,
Speaker 13: I gotta take something here.
Speaker 4: Go go go all right, go go go, Thank you all.
Speaker 3: He's a busy man. Sound like he was walking through
Speaker 3: the streets of the New.
Speaker 5: York There's a lot of big names that are being
Speaker 5: moved right now and a lot of big Donnie, that's
Speaker 5: him getting a tip on a big story. So we're
Speaker 5: gonna let Elliott go and tackle that big story he's
Speaker 5: working on.
Speaker 4: Well something he said there was a very of a
Speaker 4: lot of interest to a lot of people, and that's
Speaker 4: the expansion possibilities. And I think for a lot of
Speaker 4: people at thirty two teams might be surprised that the
Speaker 4: NHL is still talking about expansion. But to go back
Speaker 4: to Atlanta raises a lot of alarm bells for a.
Speaker 3: Lot of people.
Speaker 5: Why Yeah, it failed twice a.
Speaker 4: Third time in both cases with the Flames and with
Speaker 4: the Thrashers, and Ray Ferraros talked about this. He he
Speaker 4: played for the Thrashers about arena location and that they
Speaker 4: could do better with that. I think with with Atlanta,
Speaker 4: it's different than a lot of cities, and that the
Speaker 4: arena location people feel it should be more more towards
Speaker 4: the burbs than the center center of town. So maybe
Speaker 4: maybe that happens. And then the possibility of going back
Speaker 4: to to Arizona and if you've been to the Phoenix
Speaker 4: area and saw where the Coyotes play. Glendale was a
Speaker 4: great facility, but it was so far out far and
Speaker 4: tough to get to, especially during weekdays. It wasn't it
Speaker 4: wasn't even close to the perfect situation. So that was
Speaker 4: That's another situation where the market is large, vibrant, has
Speaker 4: a hockey history there, b B. You know that history
Speaker 4: is what is what it is, But I think they
Speaker 4: want another shot at that that big, big market.
Speaker 1: Elli, you got off the phone to tweet something. Oh
Speaker 1: h Gary Batman has informed the board that they're going
Speaker 1: to open a process to investigate Houston or Austin, Texas
Speaker 1: for an expansion.
Speaker 5: Wow, franchise Houston makes sense. Houston makes sense. I think
Speaker 5: that I'll go the other way.
Speaker 3: I think Austin makes as much or more.
Speaker 1: I don't think either of them makes sense.
Speaker 5: There's not enough Houston Arrows, right, not Houston Arrows. They
Speaker 5: got a hockey history. Gordi Howe played there, Am I am?
Speaker 5: I am I correctly, Gordy Howe. We've talked about this
Speaker 5: so Ryan Houston Dallas, the rivalry they've had the pro
Speaker 5: hockey there before. Houston makes sense. It's a big TV market,
Speaker 5: Is there enough players.
Speaker 1: Coaches O gms like look at look at this coaching
Speaker 1: cycle that we just went through. Okay, the Oilers are
Speaker 1: bringing back Mike Babcock because there's no other viable options. Okay,
Speaker 1: Ryan Craig, you had.
Speaker 3: A promotion, probably said that at thirty teams. You probably
Speaker 3: said that.
Speaker 4: At Yeah, but idn't have been around that. But let
Speaker 4: me just go back to what I was saying. I
Speaker 4: think Austin makes more sense because the NHL has this
Speaker 4: history and it's worked out really well of going into
Speaker 4: markets where nobody else is San Jose, Vegas, Nashville. I'm
Speaker 4: talking about at the time they decided to go into
Speaker 4: those French and really set set a standard for other leagues,
Speaker 4: especially especially Vegas. You know Austin that sort of comes
Speaker 4: out of nowhere.
Speaker 11: I heard.
Speaker 5: I've never heard of Austin.
Speaker 4: The population, there is a million, great music scene there,
Speaker 4: much much like Nashville. I think that makes as much sense,
Speaker 4: maybe more sense than Houston.
Speaker 12: I worry about the product. Man, we watched so many
Speaker 12: bad hockey games. We do without within the course of
Speaker 12: the season, and the teams, the rosters.
Speaker 4: Not where I go, what where I go? With this
Speaker 4: is at my age. If you expand to another two
Speaker 4: teams and it goes to thirty four teams, Sorry, Ryan,
Speaker 4: but that decreases the chances of me seeing the Canucks
Speaker 4: went to Stanley Cup in my lifetime.
Speaker 1: And you should be worried too, worried about that.
Speaker 3: Your kids should be worried.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about that for Max and Ben already. I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, I just I don't selfish.
Speaker 3: I just think it's not going to get in the
Speaker 3: way of business.
Speaker 1: It's the easiest answer for them to get a massive
Speaker 1: bag of money. I get it. And the same thing's
Speaker 1: happening in the NBA. And look at the NBA. The
Speaker 1: NBA is a disaster too with a lot of games
Speaker 1: because it's the same thing as their players, their coaches.
Speaker 3: We just see the said disaster.
Speaker 4: And as far as the on ice product goes, the
Speaker 4: NHL is very good right now, Like.
Speaker 3: You forgot the dead pocket, you're on around you were
Speaker 3: two years old.
Speaker 1: But you're a you're also saying this all coming off
Speaker 1: of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Okay, when you're seeing which
Speaker 1: we're good, yes, of the of the best sixteen teams,
Speaker 1: you're forgetting about.
Speaker 3: The other sixteen forgetting about that. That bad is way better.
Speaker 3: It's way better than it's been for a long long time.
Speaker 5: But look, I.
Speaker 4: Would rather say, I'm with you. I would rather see
Speaker 4: twenty one teams. It's just the best players in the
Speaker 4: world every single night. But you're just not getting gonna
Speaker 4: get in the way of business.
Speaker 5: It's Look, that's not right, it's not right.
Speaker 4: Recently, Betman talked about the profits that they're making right now.
Speaker 5: It's a most revenue business.
Speaker 3: My point is I agree with you, and a lot
Speaker 3: of people will agree with you. You're not getting in
Speaker 3: the way of business. And look what owners get if
Speaker 3: they expand money, Yeah, expansion fees.
Speaker 5: The owner here likes money getting.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe maybe if he gets his expansion money, he
Speaker 1: can afford assistant coach or something here. Oh maybe maybe
Speaker 1: that'll be.
Speaker 5: That'd be they're going to hire assistant, coinages for an assistant.
Speaker 3: How about a practice facility.
Speaker 5: Well, that's god dream that's gonna happen. That that's not
Speaker 5: far away. My problem with expansion is if you had
Speaker 5: two more teams, where's your second round pick, first round
Speaker 5: or second round thirty five?
Speaker 3: Again, hurt any fox chances exactly.
Speaker 5: So people, you have to understand if you're picking first
Speaker 5: in the second round with two more teams, it is
Speaker 5: thirty fifth over all. What was it thirty years ago?
Speaker 5: It was in the twenties. It's very hard now, very
Speaker 5: very hard. But the kids, every team has that exactly.
Speaker 5: But the players are gonna come from Russia, Finland, Switzerland,
Speaker 5: They're gonna come, They're gonna be there.
Speaker 4: Well, you know what's interesting, Ryan, you say that about
Speaker 4: the talent pool, You would think that with this Olympic
Speaker 4: surge in the US, that that country is gonna get
Speaker 4: even stream, have more people from areas you'd never think
Speaker 4: would produce great hockey players producing hockey players.
Speaker 3: So that that that'll probably see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. Yeah, we got a break, Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna be able to reconnect.
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing with the Elliott. He was on
Speaker 3: for like three minutes and he provided us with all
Speaker 3: sorts of thank you, all sorts of content, including the
Speaker 3: penguin situation. We'll see all that works out as well. Okay,
Speaker 3: a break up next Sean Millington. She lines he's going

Speaker 3: I'm excited for him.
Speaker 5: Sean.
Speaker 3: Thanks for doing this, sir. How are you.
Speaker 11: I'm very well. Thanks don great to be here.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. What does this honor mean to you?
Speaker 11: Wow, it's a huge thing.
Speaker 14: I mean, it's one of those things that I've thought
Speaker 14: about over the years and thought, I don't know, you know,
Speaker 14: you look at your stats, you look at what other
Speaker 14: people have done, and you just kind of generally think, oh,
Speaker 14: I don't have what it takes to make that jump,
Speaker 14: and maybe I don't stack up with some of the
Speaker 14: other August members who.
Speaker 11: Are in there. And then when you are.
Speaker 14: Shocked and surprised to learn that actually you do have
Speaker 14: it and you are going to go on, It's like
Speaker 14: it was a very emotional moment for me.
Speaker 11: It was a big surprise.
Speaker 14: The Lions did a fantastic job with how they set
Speaker 14: that whole thing up, and it was just a very
Speaker 14: impactful moment.
Speaker 4: Okay, seaw, let's go back in time if you don't mind.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty good at doing that sort of thing. How
Speaker 4: did this all start for you? How did the game
Speaker 4: of football start for you? Where did it all begin?
Speaker 14: Well, the funny thing is that when I went to
Speaker 14: Carson Graham, I went from a small middle school, Balmoral.
Speaker 11: At which they didn't have a football program. And I've
Speaker 11: been playing rugby in the fall.
Speaker 14: And when I got to Carson, the rugby season in
Speaker 14: the senior high went to the spring. And so I'm like,
Speaker 14: I have nothing to do in the fall, and I
Speaker 14: still want to do some sports. So I tried out
Speaker 14: for football. I tried out for tennis, and I tried
Speaker 14: out for soccer. And I thought to myself, after doing
Speaker 14: those practices, well, I've already played tennis before, I've already
Speaker 14: played soccer.
Speaker 11: I've never done football, So why didn't I do football?
Speaker 14: And tried out made the team, and the coach, mister
Speaker 14: Henderson at the times, in his infinite wisdoms, off it
Speaker 14: to play me on the old line and I where
Speaker 14: he wanted to play running back, but he wouldn't let me,
Speaker 14: and I argue with him and argue with him for
Speaker 14: a full year.
Speaker 11: Didn't happen.
Speaker 14: Finally, the senior next year, which was my senior year,
Speaker 14: the previous running back had graduated and I tried it
Speaker 14: out again, and he's like, Okay, fine, you can go
Speaker 14: to tryouts. Obviously I won the position, and the rest,
Speaker 14: as they say, is history.
Speaker 3: Mister Henderson, he didn't know what he was talking about.
Speaker 3: Sean Millington on the old line, Hey.
Speaker 4: Sean, so many big numbers that you put up, so
Speaker 4: many accomplishments, but this one really stands out for me.
Speaker 4: One hundred and seventy six Special Teams tackles fourth in
Speaker 4: CFL history. I had no idea about that stat. How
Speaker 4: much pride you take on that, because I don't think
Speaker 4: a lot of people would would look at your career
Speaker 4: or remember your career outstanding running back, but you were
Speaker 4: a special team's demon.
Speaker 14: Well, it's funny you say that, don because I didn't
Speaker 14: know that myself either until all of it just came
Speaker 14: out and I read that stat somewhere and I was like,
Speaker 14: Holy Croley.
Speaker 11: I didn't realize I was that high up in the list.
Speaker 11: And you're right.
Speaker 14: I did take a lot of pride in special teams.
Speaker 14: That's where I got my start. Coach named Jeff Rheinboldt
Speaker 14: at the time put me, well he's still named jeff Ryebolt,
Speaker 14: but at the time he put me in on the
Speaker 14: field and that was the first time I got to start,
Speaker 14: and so that's where I kind of got my toe
Speaker 14: into the game and had an opportunity to show what
Speaker 14: I could do. And therefore I always took pride in
Speaker 14: running down as hard as I could, and it was
Speaker 14: kind of a culture on our team for a few
Speaker 14: years there where no matter what else was going on
Speaker 14: on the field, where we were losing all the games,
Speaker 14: but we were going to show up on special teams
Speaker 14: and that was the unit that was going to be strong.
Speaker 14: And as part of that, I took a lot of
Speaker 14: pride in doing that. And it was kind of an
Speaker 14: internal competition between the guys running down who could get
Speaker 14: there first to make the tackle.
Speaker 11: It was never about are we going to make the tackle?
Speaker 11: It was just who's going to make the tackle.
Speaker 14: I was actually literally fighting my own players on the
Speaker 14: way down the field, with guys pulling on the back
Speaker 14: of my jersey trying to slow me down because we
Speaker 14: were in such a competition to try and.
Speaker 11: Get there, and we still got the job done. So
Speaker 11: that was a really big thing for me, and I
Speaker 11: take a lot of pride in.
Speaker 5: That stat Sean Great Cups were of the Lions in
Speaker 5: ninety four, two thousand. How special was ninety four? I
Speaker 5: mean the place is packed right down to the wire,
Speaker 5: Louis kicks it. How good was that well?
Speaker 11: I mean it's hard to overstate.
Speaker 14: It was the culmination of a lot of years of frustration,
Speaker 14: and you know, even coming up to that point, our
Speaker 14: battle with Calgary. In my five years in the league,
Speaker 14: so I started in nineteen ninety and this is five.
Speaker 11: Years later, I had never beaten Calgary, not.
Speaker 14: In preseason, not in regular season, not in postseason, and
Speaker 14: then to manage to get past them in the Western
Speaker 14: Final where they have a stacked team. It's Doug, you know,
Speaker 14: Doug Flutie, you know, all star, amazing athlete, amazing player,
Speaker 14: you know Supungeus, you know, Pits, all these guys who
Speaker 14: are just amazing, and somehow we managed to come out
Speaker 14: on top. It almost felt from that point forward like
Speaker 14: it was destiny, Like we are going to win this game.
Speaker 14: You know, the Great Cup comes up. It didn't matter
Speaker 14: what happened. We just knew we were going to come through,
Speaker 14: and we kind of essentially willed it because in some
Speaker 14: ways they were the better team, but they were not
Speaker 14: going to beat us.
Speaker 5: That day, Sean, how disappointing was it when you found
Speaker 5: out SFU football went away and you know how important
Speaker 5: it was to you and you were the first overall
Speaker 5: pick in the Canadian draft, and boy, it must have
Speaker 5: been a tough day for you.
Speaker 14: That was really really heartbreaking and challenging to discover that
Speaker 14: that was the path that they were.
Speaker 11: Going to go.
Speaker 14: And it would have been a you know, a little
Speaker 14: bit more of a you know better solid on your
Speaker 14: emotions and your rationale if you could identify what you
Speaker 14: thought was a reasonable reason for why they're doing this.
Speaker 11: But to me, it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 14: There was no discussion, there was no opportunity, well, if
Speaker 14: we could hit this threshold, we could make this happen.
Speaker 11: And it's all at the end of the day.
Speaker 14: These decisions are always money based, no matter what anybody
Speaker 14: says and what the spin is on it. So tell
Speaker 14: us the number. Tell me it's fifty million dollars to
Speaker 14: run the program. And if you hit fifty million dollars,
Speaker 14: you have a program. But don't tell me that, oh,
Speaker 14: we just can't do it, and blah blah blah blah,
Speaker 14: because obviously that's bollocks.
Speaker 11: You've been doing it for decades. It's clearly possible. It's
Speaker 11: just you don't wish to do it for your own
Speaker 11: set of reasons. And I think that's the real crime
Speaker 11: for all the young men and all the young players
Speaker 11: who would have an opportunity who won't have the opportunity
Speaker 11: that I did, and the ability to have the impact
Speaker 11: in their country and on the sport that they choose
Speaker 11: to play like. I just think that's criminal.
Speaker 3: And quickly, Sean, if you don't want for people who
Speaker 3: don't know what are you up to these days?
Speaker 11: Oh, I'm doing personal training, so you know, anybody wants.
Speaker 5: To get in.
Speaker 11: Oh girl, Bill Pipes like you've got Doddy.

Speaker 4: Maybe ten years from now, I would. I look, all
Speaker 4: of New York's gonna buy it, and that means it's

Speaker 12: all over the place between Netflix and Prime and Crave
Speaker 12: like it's just.
Speaker 3: Quite oversatury it is to say it's in demand. I
Speaker 3: agree with you. I love I love them. When thirty
Speaker 3: for thirty first came out on ESPN, that.
Speaker 4: To me was the golden era because there wasn't as
Speaker 4: much choice. And I know it's great to have choice,
Speaker 4: no question about it, but you could focus on those
Speaker 4: and to me to this day, some of those documentaries
Speaker 4: led by the two Escobars and the best that never
Speaker 4: was Marcus Tupri though, those those ones really sticking. It
Speaker 4: started with June seventeenth, ninety four.
Speaker 3: Was a great documentary as well. That was part of
Speaker 3: the thirty for thirty franchise.
Speaker 12: It started with that, then the popularity the Last Dance,
Speaker 12: and then the popularity of Drive to Survive also, I
Speaker 12: think really.
Speaker 3: Was what everybody I watched three minutes of that.
Speaker 15: You just don't it's just probably a little too. No,
Speaker 15: it's a bunch of rich kids. What the same with
Speaker 15: the golf No way man drive to Survive. I could
Speaker 15: care less about F one and I really enjoyed that series.
