The voice of God is Derek Wong. How 19 00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:57.119 are you? 20 00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:58.000 It couldn't be better? 21 00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:01.640 A lot of sports fans are feeling the same way. 22 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.879 We always go on about April or maybe October being 23 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.079 the best month, the best time for sports, but what 24 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:15.280 about right now June NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup Final. 25 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.680 As a combination. I cannot remember the two of them 26 00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:25.680 being so good at the same time. Yeah, you know, 27 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.280 I guess, but I don't remember them being this good. Yeah, 28 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.359 there's a recency bias as well. World Cups starting today 29 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.760 as well, the Lions get going on the weekend. There's 30 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.159 a lot going on, and it's all positive in terms 31 00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.599 of entertainment. The World Cup's going to be entertaining. 32 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:44.840 You know. 33 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.159 There's some people complaining about what's happening downtown these days, 34 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.799 and streets cordoned off and things like that, and traffic 35 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:57.159 businesses upset, some of them happy, but the sports eventually 36 00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.760 takes over. It'll be I would think it would be 37 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.719 just fine. Well, you're not paying for paying for tickets. 38 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.639 There's some connuct news, okay, and we mentioned the Lions, 39 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.520 but we got to talk about what happened last night 40 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.599 in New York City, and I'm like a lot of people, 41 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.159 I actually was kind of lucky. I was preparing for 42 00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:24.280 this show, so I was, you know, watching background. I 43 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:27.960 was watching the game last night. Nixon Spurs Spurs way 44 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.439 up between twenty nine points in the third quarter. It's over, 45 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.840 so it's just kind of in the background. So I 46 00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.280 was lucky. I didn't turn it off. A lot of 47 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.759 people did. Well, yeah, I did, you know, but your 48 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.000 patients sporting events is awful. 49 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.680 Twenty nine points. Anytime I've been with you to a 50 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:49.960 football game on twenty nine points and you're gonna watch that. 51 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:52.199 I took the dog for a walk, I started playing 52 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.639 with him. He's going a little orange ball. I took 53 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.520 the ball out. We started playing. I come back. There's 54 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.400 four minutes left. I enjoyed the last four minute. But 55 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.960 I'm not gonna watch a basketball game when one team's 56 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:04.479 up by twenty nine point. Stop it. 57 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:08.759 You clearly have learned no lessons in your life about sports. 58 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:10.919 You just never know. It's the beauty of sports. It's 59 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.520 the best reality television. I go out there, the greatest 60 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.400 comeback in NBA Finals history. We just talked about it. 61 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.000 Down twenty nine points in the third quarter, down twenty 62 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.800 in the fourth, and the Knicks end up winning that game. 63 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.599 And I'll get to the karma involved here. But og 64 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.960 n Andobi tipping in Jalen Brunson's long range three point 65 00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.639 a miss with one point two seconds left, and then 66 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.800 they managed to nail it down after that. But one 67 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:43.960 o seven, one oh six the next now up three 68 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.479 games to one, the crowd just going nuts and just 69 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.319 the sense of disbelief watching on television. Can you imagine 70 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.479 being there? Can you imagine being Taylor Swift being at 71 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:53.719 the gay? 72 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.680 I get you probably can Sandler, there's a Jerry Seinfeld, 73 00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:00.120 Adam Sandler. I loved it. A lot of stars is 74 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:00.719 there last night? 75 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.120 Yeah? Okay, so this is where I'm going with this. 76 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.719 And boy, the defense was awful on this play. They 77 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.199 forgot all about O G. But this is where I'm 78 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.120 going with this. And you can talk about strategy and 79 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.920 the two missed free throws by Wemby with just under 80 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.120 two minutes left to me crucial moments, no doubt about that. 81 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.680 But let's get back to Wemby for a second. I 82 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.319 talk about this a lot that I'm a real believer 83 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.319 in karma. Or earlier in the game, when they were 84 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.360 destroying the Knicks and built up that lead to twenty 85 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:40.160 nine points, you saw Wemby taunting Cocky Cocky, counting the taunting, 86 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:44.680 the I'm lucky there taunting the New York Knicks. I'm 87 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.720 in your hand pointing to his head. He did it 88 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:52.519 a couple of times to Robinson, and to Carl Anthony Towns, 89 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.639 you know, saying that, I mean in your head, you know, 90 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:57.639 I don't know, something to the effect that we got 91 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.879 this game one. The clapping there, and you just don't 92 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.560 do that because it'll always come back. Kids, if you're 93 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.639 listening out there, it'll always come back to haunt you. 94 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.120 Missing those free throws at the end, his team blowing 95 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:16.120 a twenty nine point second half leat losing that crucial 96 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.600 game they had it. What you don't do that, You 97 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:20.920 don't do that sort of thing. That's right. I'm not 98 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.120 you know, people will disagree like it wasn't you know, 99 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.040 there wasn't crucial crucial moment. I think it was. I 100 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.319 think it was. Those moments were crucial. When you're taunting 101 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.399 the opposition, it nine times out of ten it comes 102 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.959 back to hurt you. And sure enough, the Spurs lose 103 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.879 that game and now on the verge of handing the 104 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.759 Knicks their first NBA title since seventy three. 105 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.040 Who was the Vancouver Grizzly who taunted Michael. 106 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:49.639 Jordan is Eric Murdoch. 107 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.319 Martin, Okay, Derek Martin, Derek Martin. 108 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.279 A little different stage there, that was. 109 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.319 You don't do that don't you that. 110 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.519 I think the Bulls had a reason for falling behind 111 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:07.319 to the expansion Grizzlies. Think you're having a fun time 112 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:11.240 in Vancouver the night before. So here, here's where else 113 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:12.959 I want to go with this. We got time for this, Ryan, 114 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:14.240 how are we doing for time? How are you? By 115 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:15.759 the way, did you watch that game? 116 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.199 Derek Martin confirmed? Yeah? Yeah. Come on now, now, I 117 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.560 will say to Rick's point, and I think there's a 118 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.519 lot of people's twenty donny. I mean, come on, like 119 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.120 that's what's the equivalent of hockey? 120 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:27.360 I never give up. 121 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:31.240 It's nothing like like the equivalent of hockey. Like it's it's, it's, 122 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:32.240 it's it's out of. 123 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:33.879 The realm, did you know? 124 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.120 I mean I was doing other things, but I didn't 125 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.879 have it off by any means. And it's just like 126 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:44.120 chip Away, chip away, chip away, but crazy man crazy? 127 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.199 So uh do we want to save this for later? 128 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.240 I'm I'm, I'm can I I've been to New York 129 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.720 a few times. Have you been in New York yet? 130 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.959 I'm still questioning whether you've been to London. 131 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.600 I got I got, I got photos. I've been to 132 00:06:58.600 --> 00:06:59.839 London three times anyway, But. 133 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.480 I I just had such a good time going there. 134 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.519 It's it's always been for business, for work, but it's 135 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.199 just a fabulous I'm worried about it because I know 136 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:15.360 what happened in Vancouver during Big you know NHL's series afterwards. 137 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.480 But did you see this scene? Yes, hotel so New 138 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:24.000 York is exploding right now with interest in the Knicks. 139 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.759 I don't remember this with the when the Canducks were 140 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.399 playing the Bruins or the Rangers Bruins in twenty eleven. 141 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.360 By the way, Milan Luchs is on the show today. 142 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.480 Later on he's retiring after seventeen seasons Rangers in ninety four, 143 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.560 But it seemed like there were thousands of Knicks fans 144 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.680 all over waiting for the Spurs to return to their hotel, 145 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:49.639 like get off the bus, look at this, look at 146 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:53.439 this scene here and talking about taunting. They're screaming at 147 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.439 him and Wemby. I don't know if yeah, there is. 148 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.600 There's somebody threw an egg at him, a couple of eggs, 149 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.439 actually one and one hit them. I mean, what's this 150 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.160 gonna be like if there's a game six, if they 151 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.720 win Game five on the road, what's it gonna be 152 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.040 like in New York after that crazy because I've always 153 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.160 said win or lose, there was gonna be a riot 154 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.720 in Vancouver ninety four and in twenty eleven. But they're 155 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.879 waiting for the Spurs to get off the bus at 156 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.279 their hotel. Now, if you've been to New York, there's 157 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.399 not a lot of alleys there, So you were asking 158 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.199 this question before the show, can you sneak? Can you 159 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.360 sneak through a back door in the alley? I do 160 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.759 believe that's not the case with this hotel or most 161 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.519 situations in New York. Like you'll see garbage on the streets, 162 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.399 and like people put their garbage out on the front street, 163 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.799 so there's no real place to hide there. But I 164 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.840 just you know, what is it gonna be like if 165 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.679 they end up winning. I mean they're waiting for the Spurs, 166 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:50.879 and not that just a few fans. It look hundreds 167 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.679 thousands of fans waiting for them outside their hotel. 168 00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:56.480 Holding a second, how do they even know where the 169 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.559 Spurs hotel is? Well, I mean no, no, no, no, no, no. 170 00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:01.879 You know where the NHL team stay when they come 171 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:06.159 to Vancouver. Yes, okay, maybe maybe you do, But how 172 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.159 the hell the thousands of people figure out where the 173 00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:08.840 Spurs stay. 174 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.440 It's it's easy. It's because they're gonna be at the 175 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.159 Ritz Carlton or four seasons or whatever. Right, it's gonna 176 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.799 be that, right, Donny. I I think though, it's I 177 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.840 were if they If the Spurs win Game five, I 178 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.399 think it's going seven games only because what did we 179 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:25.320 see in Game three? 180 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.240 I can't see the Spurs are a good team. I 181 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.960 can't see them losing. I mean, of course you can 182 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.480 see them losing, but they're owing two at home? 183 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:33.279 Yeah? 184 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:33.879 Serious? 185 00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.639 But I just think I think the nervous energy we 186 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.639 saw in Game three with the Knicks, the Knicks looks 187 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.440 scared of being an MSG. We heard about the ticket prices, 188 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:43.720 the celabs trump. 189 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:45.240 I bet they're not scared anymore. 190 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:49.200 Ah I I I bet it's I bet they overcame 191 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:49.799 a twenty nine. 192 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.720 Yeah for sure, but that's not gonna happen again. It's 193 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.320 not gonna happen again. Like, let's be honest. The Spurs 194 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.399 rolled over and they shouldn't have. I just wonder about 195 00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.000 the nervous energy for the Knicks at home. Could win 196 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.720 in Game six, I think you'd be feeling a lot. 197 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.720 Tell Wenby to stop taunting and maybe, yeah, maybe they'll 198 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.399 be Okay, I would like to see as a sports 199 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.759 fan that a six game at Madison Square Guard. Oh, 200 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:15.919 because we've talked about this a lot on our show 201 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.879 that I am and I believe you two are the same, 202 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:21.639 and I'm fan of building. I wanted to see the 203 00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.240 Montreal Canadians advance of the Stanley Cup final, if for 204 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.360 no other reason than the history and the Bell Center. 205 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.720 Same thing. I want to see big games Rangers Knicks 206 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.200 at Madison Square Garden. Did you see how. 207 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.399 Full it was like ten minutes after the game ended 208 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:34.879 last night? 209 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:35.240 Yeah? 210 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.519 Usually like understandably no, but one of the broadcasters said, 211 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.159 like in New York, usually it's like we got to 212 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:41.519 get to the subway. We need to get out of here, 213 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.600 especially down Anyway. 214 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:50.039 Exactly, crazy, outstanding. Okay, we got time for a little 215 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.399 knuck talk here for three minutes. Oh okay, so let's 216 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.759 go here. Then this just broke. There's some other other 217 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:01.080 news regarding the Cannucks as Thomas Answer article that we 218 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.440 want to talk about, and some Jake Depress trade rumors 219 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.600 or one roomer at least out of Ottawa. But Patrick 220 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:12.120 Calvin and we we he has landed a job, and 221 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.879 you wondered when Patrick Alvin, it just seemed, okay, I'm 222 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.440 going to use the word seem like a puppet in Vancouver. 223 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.080 Jim Roth, no question, So you no question how much 224 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.080 respect was out there for him, Jimmy round the show 225 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.879 the show Hockey League, And I think the answer is 226 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:29.080 that the guy has some respect. 227 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.840 He's been hired by the Seattle Kraken vice president and 228 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:34.320 assistant GM. And Ryan are we going to show this 229 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.919 just down the highway? Patrick Alvin? We mentioned this yesterday. 230 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.799 It's been out there that Seattle was one of the 231 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.200 teams talking to him. And he's got a relationship with 232 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.960 Jason botterrall the GM that goes back to Pittsburgh when 233 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.360 they were all together with Jim Rutherford. So these guys, uh, 234 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.879 you know, helping each other out. And so he's going 235 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.440 to be the vice president and assistant GM in Seattle. 236 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.759 Down the highway? Are you going to show the quote 237 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.320 and Rick Talk? When Rick Talked left Vancouver, he took 238 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.480 a shot at the practice facility. One of the reasons 239 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.480 he left. Theyucks don't even have a practice facility. Now 240 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:12.200 they're talking, We're done. Just down the street here Britannia, Britannia. 241 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:15.919 So anyways, So there's Patrick Alvin in his press release. 242 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.080 Absolutely no one asked him about the practice facility in Seattle, 243 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:21.879 which is one of the best in the league. And 244 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:22.759 out of the blue. 245 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.159 It's the second line here, it's. 246 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:25.600 The second line. 247 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:26.600 Can you make a smaller? 248 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.360 Can you? Right? I got glasses and I can't see 249 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.159 that it's from a long press cause anyways, the practice 250 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.080 facility is phenomenal, best in the league. 251 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.759 These are Alvin's where it's listening on the podcast, so 252 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:41.440 you know what. 253 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.120 No one asked about the This is a shot wait 254 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.840 the whole thing. Oh, okay, here we go. This is Alvin. 255 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.399 I liked everything I heard from Jason about the good 256 00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:53.639 people in the organization. The practice facility is phenomenal, best 257 00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.240 in the league. The support of the Kraken in the city, 258 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:59.279 in the region was evident every time I've been down there. 259 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:04.080 So no one asked him about the practice facility unsolicited, unsolicited, 260 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.600 This is a shot at the Order of Vancouver. Uh 261 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.679 take her to the bank, Rick Talcket. One of the 262 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:15.200 reasons you left, no practice facility. And here's uh, Patrick Elvin, 263 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.720 out of the blue. No one asked him about the 264 00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:21.320 practice Diciliiti in Seattle unsolicited mentions it. 265 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.320 Yeah, well that the same thing happened with archer Sealovs 266 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:24.759 in Pitts. 267 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:25.600 Remember that. 268 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.639 Yes, he talked about how great the practice facility was. 269 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.879 I'm not sure he asked a question about the practice facility. 270 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.600 So a little dig at the at the Vancouver connection. 271 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.279 Get that practice facility done. What's happening, by the way, well, 272 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:39.919 you couldn't come up with the name of the place 273 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:41.879 they're thinking of having it Bretagna. 274 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.000 As you mentioned, there's still uh in negotiation talks with him. 275 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.279 And until I see the shovel going the ground, you 276 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:49.360 know it's not done. 277 00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:52.480 They will be when Calgary finishes things off. The only 278 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.320 team in the NHL with facility. They've gone on and 279 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:58.960 on a horrible, horrible, horrible and obviously you know, people 280 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.200 with the conducts were getation.

Yes, McKenna had 367 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:36.480 a productive World Junior, but Stenberg stood out for a 368 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.079 variety of reasons outside of just point production at that time. 369 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.519 And I have to be honest, McKenna's game went to 370 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:44.359 a whole new level in the second half of the 371 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:47.720 season past the World Juniors, but Stenberg's didn't fall off, 372 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.519 and the reality is that he had to fall off 373 00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:51.279 that perch. 374 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:51.920 And he just didn't do that. 375 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.319 And the end of the season on a high representing 376 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.240 Sweden at the Men's World Hockey Championship, appoint a game 377 00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:01.559 there as a draft eligible prospect. That doesn't happen very often. 378 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:05.359 And he's just a special, special player. I'm splitting hairs though. 379 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.000 I'm calling this one A and one A. That's how 380 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.319 close it is. They're just they're just different players. Stembergs 381 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.279 he's a little bit more responsible in all three zones. 382 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.559 He's going to be more uh, he's gonna be more 383 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.799 buttoned up from a team perspective. But then you got McKenna, 384 00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.839 who's going to be that quick, strake, offensive guy. And 385 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.079 and they just approached the game differently, and pick your poison. 386 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:27.960 They're both gonna be fabulous players. 387 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.960 Jason, as you can imagine Caleb Mahold, your dad's coaching 388 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.839 a Vancouver boy. It's a hot button issue in this town. 389 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:35.599 I'll tell you that much right now. But let's talk 390 00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:38.960 about the player. If the Canucks get him, what are 391 00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:39.680 they getting? 392 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:41.200 Wow? 393 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:46.319 Complete players. So anybody that watched Manny play and I 394 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:49.279 know you guys, did you appreciate Manny for what he 395 00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.480 did off the puck and defensively, and certainly in the 396 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.599 face off tyde and and the character that he he 397 00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:59.079 persevered through the NHL his NHL career with and he's 398 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:02.559 he's brought that to his coaching pedigree obviously, So the 399 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:06.240 apple doesn't fall far from the tree here, Guys. Caleb Majoltra, 400 00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:09.119 he's a two hundred foot player. He was used in 401 00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:11.720
