Speaker 3: long with Rick Dolly Wall. Ryan Henderson is our producer.
Speaker 3: He is the man of the controls our director. The
Speaker 3: voice of God is Derek Wanng. What a morning, Wow Wow.
Speaker 3: So we were preparing this show, getting ready to talk
Speaker 3: a lot and we still will talk a lot about
Speaker 3: Rick Hackett being hired as the new head coach of
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia Flyers. We had a poll question all ready
Speaker 3: to go, focusing on that news, and then lo and
Speaker 3: behold moments ago. We find out first of all through
Speaker 3: a tweet from TSN's Darren Dregor. Do we have the tweet, Ryan,
Speaker 3: And here's what Darren had to say on Twitter. As
Speaker 3: others have speculated, Adam Foot will be named head coach
Speaker 3: of the Vancouver Canucks. No official announcement yet, but other
Speaker 3: people have built on this and it looks like indeed
Speaker 3: Adam Foot is the canucks twenty second head coach.
Speaker 4: And what I can add to this, Don is it's
Speaker 4: a three year deal. It's going to be a three
Speaker 4: year deal for Adam Foot in Vancouver. Here's what I
Speaker 4: was told. Players know him. Don you know that team
Speaker 4: management knows him. They've had him here for a couple
Speaker 4: of years. He knows where the skeletons are and you
Speaker 4: know what I see skeletons. He this past season and
Speaker 4: the chaos and the drama. He was there, So that
Speaker 4: helped his case?
Speaker 3: How would that help?
Speaker 4: It would help because he a new guy's gonna come
Speaker 4: in and go, Okay, Now I'm dealing with Peterson. Now
Speaker 4: I'm dealing with this. I'm dealing with that. He was there,
Speaker 4: he saw everything this year. I think that helped him.
Speaker 4: I really do he was a serious candidate. The moment
Speaker 4: the Foot left, Donnie, he had good interviews. He was
Speaker 4: fully prepared in his interviews. The moment Talcket left, Yeah,
Speaker 4: the moment Talcket left, I believe Foot was good interviews.
Speaker 4: I was told very prepared. He really impressed the brass
Speaker 4: with that. And I was told as soon as Talcket left,
Speaker 4: the Canucks identified an entry level guy. They wanted an
Speaker 4: entry level guy, give a guy a chance, while Boyle
Speaker 4: boy Don, they're given Adam for a chance because he's
Speaker 4: never been I head coach at the National Hockey League.
Speaker 3: Let me just say this, Yeah, that the knock on
Speaker 3: and you know I was all for the Canucks hiring
Speaker 3: Manny Mahultra.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's just there.
Speaker 3: I know that there's an X factor, and what you
Speaker 3: can read into X factors, I'm not so sure. But
Speaker 3: there's just something about Manny. He just screamed excellent coach,
Speaker 3: excellent NHL head coach of the future. And the knock
Speaker 3: against him was what number one knock, lack of experience.
Speaker 3: I don't want to rain on the Canucks parade, but
Speaker 3: Manny Maholter is Scotti Bowman next to Adam Foot and
Speaker 3: Adam's played a wonderful career as a player, but Maddy's
Speaker 3: had seven years as an assistant in the National Hockey League.
Speaker 3: One year as an AHL head coach won very successful
Speaker 3: year Adam Foot coached and kloon a head coach twenty nineteen,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty. I believe they hosted the Memorial Cup that year.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if I got that right, but he
Speaker 3: was let go and then the last three years as
Speaker 3: a Canucks assistant coach under Rick Talckett. And the reason
Speaker 3: I was questioning you when you say that, you know,
Speaker 3: maybe last year helped them going through all that turmoil.
Speaker 3: The coaching staff didn't get the job done with the turmoil.
Speaker 4: Rights, Yeah, but a new guy's gonna come out on them.
Speaker 3: I get that.
Speaker 4: It's not my I got two other things to mention here,
Speaker 4: don I hope the Vancouver Canucks didn't sign Foot to
Speaker 4: keep Quinn Hughes. Okay, that's one. That's one, and two
Speaker 4: when you identify an entry level guy, what what do
Speaker 4: we know? What about their offer to Rick Talckett five
Speaker 4: years over four million a year between twenty to twenty
Speaker 4: five million. I can guarantee you that the money, the
Speaker 4: Foot's getting is nowhere near the money they offered. Uh
Speaker 4: uh Tockett, So was finances Uh part of the decision?
Speaker 4: Don that'sn't That's bad?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: And I if Quinn Hughes watched in two years and
Speaker 4: you hired Foot to keep Quinn Hughes, boy, that's going
Speaker 4: to be a bad look just bad on a lot
Speaker 4: of levels.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, he it's pretty obvious that Quinn Hughes
Speaker 3: is a fan of Adam Foot. Yeah, but ultimately for
Speaker 3: hockey player with the clock ticking, for for every young
Speaker 3: or old you want to win a Stanley Cup, you
Speaker 3: want to you want to play meaningful hockey, he can.
Speaker 3: Whenever the biggest Adam Foot fan in the world they
Speaker 3: don't win, he's I'm thinking he's going to be out
Speaker 3: of here. Maybe you know, I hope we're wrong. I
Speaker 3: hope that you know this this all works out. But
Speaker 3: I just I'll go back to what I said earlier.
Speaker 3: When you look at the other candidates Marco sterm and
Speaker 3: Mitch Love than Jay Woodcroft and Manny Moultra, they all
Speaker 3: have significantly even Manny significantly more experience than Adam Foot.
Speaker 3: Is it the be all and end all? Will we'll
Speaker 3: find out. But it's just really it seems a little
Speaker 3: strange right now that that's the person they go with.
Speaker 3: And this is nothing against Adam Foot. It's more about
Speaker 3: with no decision and with a knock against their number
Speaker 3: one candidate many more who seemed to be their number
Speaker 3: one candidate was experience.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Adam Football, I'll say this to you, a
Speaker 4: twenty plus in the NHL Stanley Cups with the Canada.
Speaker 4: He want with Canada at the national tournaments as a
Speaker 4: player as a player, so there's a lot of experience here.
Speaker 4: He knows hockey inside out. But I mean, this is
Speaker 4: going to catch a lot of It caught us off
Speaker 4: guard to put a hold that I'm not gonna say
Speaker 4: he was a candidate. He was a cand two nights ago.
Speaker 4: I was told keep an eye on Foot. He's in there,
Speaker 4: don't don't discount Foot. And guess what they hire Foot
Speaker 4: well for.
Speaker 3: Me and this might still happen, of course many Maholt
Speaker 3: is pretty busy right now. But the one thing that
Speaker 3: would smooth this over for the people who like me,
Speaker 3: wonder why you'd hire somebody like Adam Foot. Again, just
Speaker 3: a wonderful player, but not a lot of professional coaching experience.
Speaker 3: What if many leaves Avasford to come to Vancouver as
Speaker 3: an assistant, maybe that helps. Now at that point you'd
Speaker 3: need a you need a more experienced coach on the bench,
Speaker 3: like a Mike Yeo type to help to help out there,
Speaker 3: I would think. But if Manny comes up from Abbatsford,
Speaker 3: that would smooth things. Well, would help because I I
Speaker 3: don't do you want to lose Manny Mahultra and is
Speaker 3: he upset with his decision?
Speaker 4: Well, here's the other thing we're not keeping in mind, Donnie.
Speaker 4: If Tackett, which is going to Philadelphia, Adam Foot could
Speaker 4: have followed him, and maybe the Canucks thought, hey, we
Speaker 4: don't want to lose this guy. But if Adam if
Speaker 4: Rick Tockey goes to Philly like he is going to
Speaker 4: go to Philly, hold it a second, dot, you don't
Speaker 4: want to lose a guy. You know, he would have walked.
Speaker 4: If you don't give Poot the head coaching job in Vancouver,
Speaker 4: he would have walked to Philly with Tackett. So maybe
Speaker 4: that was a concern of the Canucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, But now you've got you've got the situation
Speaker 3: where Manny Mahultra has been I would think passed over
Speaker 3: or maybe maybe they could be gone through this, but
Speaker 3: maybe he felt he wasn't ready. I wouldn't. I have
Speaker 3: a hard time believing somebody like Manny was competitive. He's
Speaker 3: from a National Hockey League player, would would go, I
Speaker 3: don't know if I'm ready, I don't if I want
Speaker 3: the job, so on they go. But if if Manny
Speaker 3: ends up behind the bench as an assistant, I think
Speaker 3: that well, it won't ruffle feathers as much for him
Speaker 3: and for for a lot of the A lot of
Speaker 3: the fan base are are Delaney's okay, tire and lang
Speaker 3: in all the groove inbox is is hopping right now. Uh,
Speaker 3: this is horrible news, boys, this is unsigned. Pardon me,
Speaker 3: it's Mike, I believe in Abbitsford. Horrible newsboys, cannocks. Twitter
Speaker 3: is hating it. This could be the straw that broke
Speaker 3: the Campbell's back. I might not follow the Canucks anymore
Speaker 3: due to this hiring. Again, that's Mike in Abbotsford. That's
Speaker 3: just just one example. I'm sure there's some positive examples there,
Speaker 3: but that's the first one that one of the first
Speaker 3: ones that I saw.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely there's a ton in there, and Donnie. Here's
Speaker 4: the other question I have for you. The Canucks have
Speaker 4: goal scoring issues. They got problems in the top six.
Speaker 4: Adam Foot's gonna help the blue line. He's gonna help
Speaker 4: the structure in your own end. But who's gonna help
Speaker 4: with the offense, Like I mean, well.
Speaker 3: They'll get they'll get apparently associate coach for that.
Speaker 4: A Tonne Skotsky's there. He's a skills guy, he's a
Speaker 4: he's a good offensive guy. But this is a club
Speaker 4: without three top six forwards. Brock Besser is long shot,
Speaker 4: long shot to return. You got one top six guy
Speaker 4: in their Debraska and the rest are all not regular
Speaker 4: top six guys. The wingers you mean yeah, and centerman too.
Speaker 4: They're looking for his Well, they have a top well,
Speaker 4: they have a top center. Number one takes a lot
Speaker 4: of money, but he also had a horrible year.
Speaker 3: Well here's the other thing that we haven't brought up.
Speaker 3: That's a possibility. What about Manny Malholtra already having a
Speaker 3: job somewhere else. Maybe he's got got as their other
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh reportedly interested, Kyle Dubs reportedly interested in Manny Multra.
Speaker 3: Maybe he's maybe he wants to go somewhere else. Yeah,
Speaker 3: maybe they didn't have a shot at him.
Speaker 4: There's so many things. I mean this this hit us
Speaker 4: five minutes before we came on the air. We tried
Speaker 4: our best to Donnie get as much as if as
Speaker 4: we can. But I'm not surprised because two nights ago
Speaker 4: I was told, Hey, Adam Foots in there, he's still fighting.
Speaker 4: He's still fighting, and well, I guess you won the fight.
Speaker 3: So for people just tuning in again, Adam Foote has
Speaker 3: been named head coach of the Vancouver Canucks, twenty second
Speaker 3: head coach in Canucks' history. Also, before that news broke,
Speaker 3: we found again we're going to base our show, or
Speaker 3: the foundation of our show was supposed to be Rick
Speaker 3: Tackett being hired by the Philadelphia Flyers, twenty fifth head
Speaker 3: coach in the Flyers' hit history. So he moves from
Speaker 3: a difficult situation in Vancouver to arguably, I don't even
Speaker 3: know if it's arguable more difficult situation in Philadelphia. They
Speaker 3: finished with fourteen they missed the playoffs or what fifth
Speaker 3: or sixth straight year, fourteen fewer points than the Canucks
Speaker 3: and again haven't made the playoffs five straight year, six
Speaker 3: of the last seven. Their goaltending is a mess, as
Speaker 3: it has been going back for such a long time.
Speaker 3: But Rick td it goes back to a place is
Speaker 3: very familiar with and a place he'd been rumored to
Speaker 3: be going to in Philadelphia, new head coach of the
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Flyers.
Speaker 4: You remember those rumors early, you know, talking to Philly.
Speaker 4: Canucks got really mad at that and they didn't like
Speaker 4: those rumors. A few weeks ago. Well guess what done
Speaker 4: when Tortorella left. When Tortorella got fired, there was a
Speaker 4: ton of talk into Philly rumors. The Canucks were upset
Speaker 4: with those, and some even say they called Philadelphia and said, hey,
Speaker 4: you know what's going on here? And well guess where
Speaker 4: he ended up Philadelphia. And it looks like it could
Speaker 4: be five years of five million. The Canucks offered per
Speaker 4: five per and the Canucks offered to talk. It I
Speaker 4: believe was five years in between twenty to twenty five million.
Speaker 4: So he got his bag, as the kids say, he
Speaker 4: got the bag done?
Speaker 1: Is it the bag? Is that what the kids say that?
Speaker 3: I believe?
Speaker 4: So he went from two point seven to five million.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a hell of a raise for a guy.
Speaker 4: You know, team didn't make the playoffs.
Speaker 3: For the Canuck's sake, they catch a break in that.
Speaker 3: And I don't even know how serious this was. He
Speaker 3: didn't he didn't sign with Seattle. You would have made
Speaker 3: the Canucks look really bad.
Speaker 4: And Seattle made a great offer, by the way, dog,
Speaker 4: great offer to talk it.
Speaker 3: But you know what I'm talking about. It would have
Speaker 3: made them look bad because Jim Mutherford said Rick Tackett
Speaker 3: wants the coach in the east Beck Easton.
Speaker 4: Yeah, boy, what a day the Canucks talking to Philly
Speaker 4: and Adam Foot the new coach of the Canucks.
Speaker 3: Let's hit the Waddling Dog. Poll question has to has
Speaker 3: to do with the news that broke just moments ago
Speaker 3: about Adam Foot becoming the new head coach of the
Speaker 3: Vancouver Canucks. Vision one of Victoria's favorite pubs. We're talking
Speaker 3: about the Wattling Dog, where you can enjoy twenty taps
Speaker 3: at twenty screens your home for the Canucks in UFC.
Speaker 3: Come sit and stay at the Dog today.
Speaker 4: Ryan, get her up the Waddling Dog. Pup poll question.
Speaker 4: Is Adam Foot the right choice for the Canucks head coach?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: Sixty four percent say no, thirty six percent say yes.
Speaker 4: We got five hundred and ninety votes already. Just put
Speaker 4: this up a couple of minutes ago, folks, with the
Speaker 4: breaking news about Adam Foot the head coach of the Canucks,
Speaker 4: I'm going to be interested to hear Donnie from management.
Speaker 4: You know, the thinking in the process, and it's it's
Speaker 4: easy for us to to talk about the signing without
Speaker 4: the knowledge of what they were thinking. And but I
Speaker 4: did hear as soon as talkt left they had identified
Speaker 4: an entry level guy as a guy they wanted to
Speaker 4: give a shot to a chance to to become a heead.
Speaker 3: Well he's entry level. Well, but this is nothing against
Speaker 3: Adam Foot. No, I'm just going with facts here and
Speaker 3: and like you look at his experience versus Manny's experience
Speaker 3: and it's it's not close. I'm sorry, here's another question.
Speaker 3: We talk about appeasing Quinn Hughes. Okay, obviously very important.
Speaker 3: Adam Foot has worked absolutely has worked with the Canucks
Speaker 3: defenseman the past three seasons, and it's been pretty successful.
Speaker 3: I would say it's just the defense right now and
Speaker 3: has a lot to do with acquisitions as opposed to coaching.
Speaker 3: Along with coaching. What about Eleas Peterson? Is he going
Speaker 3: to be able to unlock that mystery.
Speaker 4: Well that's a great point. I mean I always thought
Speaker 4: all these guys the Canucks were interviewing, If one of
Speaker 4: these coaching candidates could have told the Canucks this is
Speaker 4: how I'm gonna fix Eliast Peterson, I would have hired
Speaker 4: that guy on the spot. But well that's just added
Speaker 4: to Adam Foot said to do list fix Ellish Patterson.
Speaker 3: Delaney's okay, Tarn Langley an alder Grove inbox. This is unsigned.
Speaker 3: Give the guy a chance. Nobody knows anything about how
Speaker 3: the interview process went and how it was presented. News
Speaker 3: dropped five minutes ago, and Vancouver already knows it's going
Speaker 3: to fail. Give me a break.
Speaker 4: I just told you how the interview process. When I
Speaker 4: just told you that he had good interviews and he
Speaker 4: was fully prepared and that's how we got the job.
Speaker 4: So you know what, we did do some homework before
Speaker 4: he went on the air. Yeah, but you know our
Speaker 4: interviews the be all and end all. Well they guy,
Speaker 4: don you and I've been interviewed for jobs. Yeah, I've
Speaker 4: interviewed people for jobs, and yeah, interviews played most of
Speaker 4: them got fired. With the two weeks, most of them
Speaker 4: got fired. But listen, interviews are big body language interviews,
Speaker 4: knowledge interviews. There's a lot to look into it. And
Speaker 4: this poor kid, Mitch Love. There's a lot of lots
Speaker 4: to love about Mitch Love. But the problem was done.
Speaker 4: His interview was with the Crucks on the phone. I mean,
Speaker 4: this is a guy they really like. But where are
Speaker 4: you going to do a zoom call? Well, I presume
Speaker 4: it was a zoom call. But there's a lot to
Speaker 4: love about Mitch Love. He's a good coach.
Speaker 3: Right, here's what's coming up. By the way, we're gonna
Speaker 3: have to do some shuffling here. We had some things
Speaker 3: ready to go that we may or may not have
Speaker 3: time for, but this is what's scheduled at this moment. Ryan,
Speaker 3: how are you? By the way, Yeah, sorry, saw Max Sassin.
Speaker 3: We've we have in the bank an interview we recorded
Speaker 3: moments ago. As a matter of fact, just before the
Speaker 3: Adam Foot news broke with Max Sassen to the Atmospherd
Speaker 3: Canucks who play Game one against Colorado Friday, Do we
Speaker 3: want to do that next segment?
Speaker 1: I think we should delay that. Yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 1: in the inbox. Also, I am I'm being reminded and
Speaker 1: I'm currently getting it as we speak of Remember Quinn
Speaker 1: Hughes on the bench in February, I want to say
Speaker 1: in Chicago. He was on the T and T B
Speaker 1: actually was La. He was on the T and T
Speaker 1: broadcast and he glowed about Adam Foot to the T
Speaker 1: and T panel. Is it from February. I've got that clip.
Speaker 1: I'm editing it right now, so we'll have that in
Speaker 1: the next segment as well. Again, it's a little bit dated,
Speaker 1: but you know, it is a glimpse into what you know.
Speaker 1: He was very positive about the now Canucks head coach.
Speaker 4: I keep saying Quentin Hughes is behind this decision.
Speaker 3: But there is the difficult part with that for everybody
Speaker 3: who cares about the Canucks is Adam Foot might be
Speaker 3: the greatest coach and they might even win. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: he and handle Quinn Hughes perfectly. And obviously maybe Quinn
Speaker 3: Hughes feels that's the way it's been the last three seats.
Speaker 3: He might still leave.
Speaker 1: He still might leave.
Speaker 4: If he leaves and you signed Foot to keep him
Speaker 4: and he leaves, then you're gonna look dumb.
Speaker 3: DTMZ is it just me in the eleven o'clock hour?
Speaker 3: John Shannon, Pride of Oliver BC. I'll have a few
Speaker 3: things to say about Adam, but he's gonna join us
Speaker 3: just after eleven o'clock. Big ride the quitter guy. Later
Speaker 3: this hour we're gonna save Max Sassin, I believe for
Speaker 3: the bottom of the hour. Apologies to Max. Is a
Speaker 3: great interview. Oh it's such a great deal of the way,
Speaker 3: So we'll deal more with Adam Foot being the new
Speaker 3: head coach of the Vancouver Canucks internext segment. Thanks for

Speaker 3: the Vancouver Connection.
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, and our waddling dog up poll question, is
Speaker 4: Adam Foot the right choice for the Canucks as the
Speaker 4: new head coach? Sixty one percent say no, thirty nine
Speaker 4: percent so yes. So over seven hundred votes already. It's hopping,
Speaker 4: it's bopping' But you know what, it's very early and
Speaker 4: we just found out down that the new coach, Adam
Speaker 4: Foot's going to talk to the media Thursday at eleven,
Speaker 4: so we'll get more insight into this big decision by
Speaker 4: the Bank of Canucks, a new three year deal for
Speaker 4: Adam Foot.
Speaker 3: Delaney's okay, Tiring Langley and Aldergrove inbox. As we talked
Speaker 3: about in the previous segment, it's hopping, it's bopping, it's
Speaker 3: not stopping. Not all of the negative, not all of
Speaker 3: the negative. Sonny from Victoria Fantastic News head coach who
Speaker 3: won Stanley Cups as a hard butt, crooked nos defenseman.
Speaker 3: The team has the best defense in years. Quinn Hughes
Speaker 3: approved as well. This checks all the boxes again, that's
Speaker 3: Sonny from Victoria Array of Sunshine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, and uh hey, they keep Quinn happy. They
Speaker 4: got it, they keep well, they keep continuity on the
Speaker 4: on the bench. If you go with Manny and Foot
Speaker 4: walks to Philly with talk it Donnie, who who's staying?
Speaker 4: Sebskotsky is staying. Uh, but that's it, and so.
Speaker 3: Who who's you know that for shrouded.
Speaker 4: I've been told that Sebskotsky is staying. So yeah, hold
Speaker 4: on there.
Speaker 1: You talk about inexperienceience one year.
Speaker 3: Sekoski.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you want him, you want Adams.
Speaker 4: Maybe, And you got all these new guys coming in
Speaker 4: on your bench in a critical year coming up.
Speaker 3: Well, they have to hire somebody with experience to help
Speaker 3: out Adam Foot. And I know Adam Foot has been
Speaker 3: around the National Hockey League for a long time. He's
Speaker 3: only been three an assistant for three years.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: A head coach in Clint didn't finish the season for one.
Speaker 1: I hear that's it. I hear you.
Speaker 3: I hear you again. Experience wise, it's a very interesting decision.
Speaker 3: I'll say what I said in the first segment. Very
Speaker 3: interesting decision because Manny Maholtra has significantly more experience as
Speaker 3: a coach at the pro level than Adam Foot, and
Speaker 3: the knock against many was a lack of experience.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep.
Speaker 4: We got a clip from Alvin here in the in
Speaker 4: the press release talk Adam's a strong leader, good teacher,
Speaker 4: person who knows what it takes to build the great
Speaker 4: culture and winning attitude. So there you go, DoD some
Speaker 4: of the reasons why they hired him.
Speaker 3: What do you expect them to say?
Speaker 4: I expect him to say nice things.
Speaker 1: They imagine if he said he wasn't our first choice.
Speaker 1: But we've settled on Adam Foot. But look at all
Speaker 1: the guys they hired him.
Speaker 4: Look at the people that made the final list for
Speaker 4: the Canucks, all guys with no experience.
Speaker 3: A Woodcraft was okay, but was he the finalist?
Speaker 4: I don't know if Woodcraft was. I know Mitch Love
Speaker 4: was hanging around there. Maholtra, all these guys.
Speaker 1: Can you say Manny has no experience.
Speaker 3: Well, he's more than Adam no head coaching experience.
Speaker 4: Puts him in the same boat as Foot.
Speaker 3: Mitch Love. Yeah, but but Manny at the pro level
Speaker 3: has been on a bench, has been waiting for well,
Speaker 3: for one head coach for one season at the pro level,
Speaker 3: it's been very successful. An assistant with both the Canucks
Speaker 3: and Travis Green is going to be on our show.
Speaker 3: To Manny was an assistant coach under him and then
Speaker 3: he went went to the Leafs like again the knock
Speaker 3: on him experience more than Adam Foot.
Speaker 4: And you can bet the Canucks, uh not just Quinn Hughes.
Speaker 4: You call other players, Hey, what do you think about
Speaker 4: Adam Foot? And you know what, I'm sure more than
Speaker 4: one player gave the thumbs up to Adam Foot before.
Speaker 3: Of course. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: I do have that clip now if you want to play.
Speaker 3: Okay, so set it up for this during the season.
Speaker 1: During the season in February, the Canucks were in LA
Speaker 1: and after the game, Hughes joined the T and T
Speaker 1: panel and they talked about coaching. So he does blend
Speaker 1: a little bit here in regards to Adam Foot and
Speaker 1: Rick talking, but he very much huge, especially early on
Speaker 1: in the clip singling out Adam Foot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a lot of coaches out there that you know,
Speaker 6: scream and yell and they want to you know, bully
Speaker 6: their players, intimidate their players, and this is a guy
Speaker 6: that I would say coaches his defenseman, coaches his players
Speaker 6: like he'd want his kids coached. And then on top
Speaker 6: of that, with all the experience he has, and you know,
Speaker 6: Rick said it before, he doesn't, you know, think of
Speaker 6: himself as a coach. He thinks of himself as a teacher,
Speaker 6: and he's teaching us and footy. And Rick's job is
Speaker 6: to win games, but also it's uh to make.
Speaker 1: Everyone a better player.
Speaker 6: And you know, you want to be a better player
Speaker 6: in March than you were September, and then hopefully a
Speaker 6: better team as well. And I think it's not just process,
Speaker 6: you know, results based wins losses. That's trying to make
Speaker 6: you know, people better, people, better players. And you know,
Speaker 6: over the course of my three years with these guys,
Speaker 6: of my game's kind of taken off here and that's
Speaker 6: a big part of big parts of them.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, interesting item that he touched on there,
Speaker 3: and that's that. Quinn Hughes has been outstanding since day
Speaker 3: one with the Vancouver Conducts. Do you agree the best
Speaker 3: it was gaming against Los Angeles as a matter of fact,
Speaker 3: his first game, But he's gotten better as good as
Speaker 3: he was at the very very start, he's gotten better
Speaker 3: and it sounds like there he's giving a significant amount
Speaker 3: of the credit to Rick Hacket and of course Adam
Speaker 3: fun who working with him day in day out, handles
Speaker 3: the defense on the bench during games. So to shed
Speaker 3: some positive light on this, it's clear that quinn Us
Speaker 3: is a big fan.
Speaker 4: We know that. We know he loves talking and you
Speaker 4: heard him I mentioned foot in the same breath. Uh, Donnie.
Speaker 4: But if you're just going to pick a coach for
Speaker 4: one guy and not twenty two guys, then it's gonna
Speaker 4: it's not gonna work out properly. They did the La
Speaker 4: Loongo thing. Oh, let's make them captain, you know, and uh,
Speaker 4: you know that, how.
Speaker 1: Did that work out?
Speaker 4: Do something for the entire team, Do something for twenty
Speaker 4: two players, not for one. But anyways, we'll see how
Speaker 4: the shakes out.
Speaker 3: We're getting a lot of this. Delaney's okay, Tarren Langley
Speaker 3: and older Grove inbox Orange and east Van I actually
Speaker 3: kind of like to hire if Adam continues the system
Speaker 3: they have had that despite a poor season, they still
Speaker 3: got ninety points and it's on management to find some
Speaker 3: forwards that can drive offense. Jim Rutherford is talking about
Speaker 3: that they needed three anyways. Heading into the offseason again,
Speaker 3: Jim Rutherford has gone on record as saying they need
Speaker 3: three forwards and we'll probably we'll Friday forward try to
Speaker 3: get those forwards through a trade. There you go, it's official.
Speaker 3: From the current Canucks Twitter account, Adam Foot named head coach. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the Banks.
Speaker 4: He was never out of the mix right from day one.
Speaker 4: He had good interviews. He was prepared. Uh, he knows
Speaker 4: the chaos that took place this year don and he's
Speaker 4: probably got a pretty good read on how to fix
Speaker 4: the chaos. How is he going to handle the media?
Speaker 4: Like the one thing about Talktt and Boudreau and Green
Speaker 4: and all these guys that have been here in the past,
Speaker 4: they were all good with the media. Foot has not
Speaker 4: that it's a big thing, but it's the most important thing.
Speaker 3: Hold it, Talcket. The media got to talk it this
Speaker 3: year like.
Speaker 4: If it's a bad yearn I know for a fact
Speaker 4: it did one the PDPDPD. All you got to got
Speaker 4: to talking was losing. No, no, PDPDPD. All you got
Speaker 4: to do is talk about pd you like that? No,
Speaker 4: just stop that, that's what talking said. How about if
Speaker 4: the media gets to this guy because if it's a
Speaker 4: bad year next year, how's he going to handle the media?
Speaker 4: You got to come out every game day skating. You
Speaker 4: know this as a veteran reporter. Game day skates, postgame, pregame,
Speaker 4: all this stuff. It's a lot to handle for guys.
Speaker 3: In a case the management doesn't ignore the local media.
Speaker 3: Do the interviews with people back East?
Speaker 4: Yeah, do interviews with the podcast Back East seven days
Speaker 4: a week.
Speaker 3: Knuck's finishing with ninety points, as Orange pointed out, and
Speaker 3: I will say this, I'm sure Adam Foot and the
Speaker 3: rest of the knock organization is they stayed. The obvious
Speaker 3: is going to love seeing what is going to happen
Speaker 3: if they don't have so many injuries. So I'll give
Speaker 3: the Cannucks that they missed the playoffs by six points.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not you know, like ninety points. It's
Speaker 3: just the turmoil mixed with the missing the playoffs after
Speaker 3: such such promise last season. It just seemed awful. Ninety
Speaker 3: points isn't bad. I will give or Orange that. So
Speaker 3: you take away those injuries and you just have to
Speaker 3: wonder where they'll be the problem is is that JT.
Speaker 3: Mill is not there anymore. He's one of their best players.
Speaker 4: Their return is questionable well and the only guy with
Speaker 4: hard skilled in the top six for the Canucks of JT.
Speaker 4: Miller and he doesn't play here anymore.
Speaker 1: Don.
Speaker 4: I do want to say one thing. I see a
Speaker 4: lot of people ripping a foot for what happened in
Speaker 4: Kelowna that was many years ago. Why are we talking
Speaker 4: about what happened in Colonna?
Speaker 1: Don?
Speaker 3: Because it's his only head coaching experience.
Speaker 4: Okay, I know a ton of guys that went to
Speaker 4: the junior Do you know that owners not not that
Speaker 4: it's the Colona owner, but do you know that owners
Speaker 4: are way more hands on at the Western Georgia Hockey
Speaker 4: League levels than they are with the NHL teams. And
Speaker 4: we know the owner here has been hands on many
Speaker 4: many times. But I mean, stop with the talk about Colonna.
Speaker 4: Who cares how he went?
Speaker 3: And why would you stop with the talk? Why?
Speaker 1: Don? It was? It's irrelevant? What's happening today?
Speaker 3: Rick? They just hired a head coach whose only head
Speaker 3: coaching experiences experience was a many years ago, the poor
Speaker 3: season in Coloonna. Judge him on what he's done with
Speaker 3: the Cocks. The last two years. He's taken over Vancouver.
Speaker 3: He's not taking over the Colona Rockets. I don't get it.
Speaker 3: They do last year the Colona Rockets. No not, you said,
Speaker 3: judge him on how they've done.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, how did they do two years ago? Game
Speaker 4: seven Oilers Round two?
Speaker 3: But you, okay, judge him on his time in Vancouver.
Speaker 3: But do you not understand why people are bringing up.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Stop with the Kolona crap. Who
Speaker 1: cares what he did in Colona?
Speaker 3: That was his only head coaching job. That's actually look
Speaker 3: at his Hockey dB page. That's it. That's his only
Speaker 3: head coaching job. Manny Maholtra's loane head coaching experience at
Speaker 3: the pro level. This colonel was in junior. I'll give
Speaker 3: you that. Yeah, he's been successful. It's it's and again,
Speaker 3: maybe Manny joins Adam's staff. I'm not I'm not really sure,
Speaker 3: but but I will say this. I don't want to
Speaker 3: criticize Adam Foot for what happening at Colona, but I
Speaker 3: do understand why people are bringing it.
Speaker 4: I bypassed Colona. Hey, do you know, Manny Malolts last
Speaker 4: year in Toronto? Done wasn't really good. He got bumped
Speaker 4: to eye in the sky. And you know what, Carber,
Speaker 4: he took over the power play.
Speaker 3: They took him up. Why are you bringing that up?
Speaker 4: It was in the past, okay, but that's at the
Speaker 4: NHL level. I can bring it up at the NHL level,
Speaker 4: but not in junior five hundred years ago.
Speaker 3: Who cares? That's not that long ago. Five years ago.
Speaker 1: So if he had won the Memorial Cup with the Rockets,
Speaker 1: when we'd be annoyed.
Speaker 4: So how did the Rockets see that Memorial Cup?
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter. I'm just saying you're saying bad. You're
Speaker 1: you're telling it wasn't a great situation. Yeah, but you're
Speaker 1: telling people to flush it. So if you had won,
Speaker 1: it would be you flushed it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but my point still be there.
Speaker 4: Many moultos last year in Toronto was not good. He
Speaker 4: got taken off the power play, walked upstairs. You didn't
Speaker 4: like it. Why are you bringing that up? If people
Speaker 4: can't bring up Adam Foote, your hockey is different. I mean,
Speaker 4: come on, I.
Speaker 1: Think it's still no word to drink. The guy left
Speaker 1: or was fired or whatever you want to say. Out
Speaker 1: of Colowna. The year they were hosting it. How are
Speaker 1: what You've.
Speaker 4: Covered the dub for a billion years? You're not when
Speaker 4: the Hocks hired Adam Foot? Was Colonna brought up? When
Speaker 4: the out of Foot? Probably nobody, He wasn't a head
Speaker 4: coach about Colonna, about Adam Foot. And now it's all, ok,
Speaker 4: look what happened in Colonna. Yeah, you had bad experience,
Speaker 4: it didn't run well.
Speaker 3: You don't you don't think it should be brought up,
Speaker 3: But you don't understand why other people would.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 3: Ryan's bang on.
Speaker 4: What if he had won, we'd be talking about we've
Speaker 4: gotten the radio stations where it didn't work out. We
Speaker 4: both left within a year. Things happen. It's okay, move on.
Speaker 3: So if you're interviewing somebody, you just ignore part of
Speaker 3: their past.
Speaker 4: Did the Canucks ignore it?
Speaker 1: Did?
Speaker 4: I'm sure the Canucks asked him, heye, what happened in Colonna?
Speaker 4: And I'm sure why would they? It's not a big deal.
Speaker 4: Happened seven million years ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a bad take.
Speaker 3: It's not a bad take.
Speaker 1: I don't know how what he did in Cologna five
Speaker 1: years ago. Let me ask you have anything to do
Speaker 1: with you. You've covered the dub for a million years?
Speaker 1: How often? How often do teams fire their head coach?
Speaker 1: There's you want to give me time, I'll find you
Speaker 1: five when they're hosting the Memorial Cup.
Speaker 4: Not we're hosting the mem cop.
Speaker 1: It didn't go well, it's it's not worthy judge.
Speaker 4: This guy and what he's done with the Canucks the
Speaker 4: last two years. Forget about Colonna. You don't know the
Speaker 4: circumstances of Clona any better than I.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, we're not gonna we're going around in circle.
Speaker 1: We're going to agree to disagree.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, we gotta read here or anything.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I head spinning, as Rick would say, Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do able, and then we'll regroup.
Speaker 3: I thought that clip was good, by the way, you
Speaker 3: didn't think it was that the clip of quin.
Speaker 1: He was kind of rambled.
Speaker 3: No, no, it's very good. It was very good. Good job.
Speaker 1: Actually who found TG? Well no, somebody on Twitter posted it. Okay,
Speaker 1: reminded me of.
Speaker 3: A good job by them. Okay, next segment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we're way over time, so we're not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to air Max next segment in the eleven
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. We will run Max Sassin eleven.
Speaker 3: Unless another head coach gets higher than that. Rick Talckett
Speaker 3: is the new head coach at Philadelphia. Adam Foote is
Speaker 3: the new head coach in Vancouver. Put that in your
Speaker 3: pipe and smoke it and smoke it. Don't bring up

Speaker 4: the Canucks spent any time on Colonna when they were Yes,
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 3: Actually, oh, hold on.
Speaker 1: Now you're saying you don't think the Canucks.
Speaker 4: Did you think the Canucks who have known Foot for
Speaker 4: two and a half years and might have asked him
Speaker 4: what happened in Colona when he got hired in Vancouver
Speaker 4: in the first place? You think now they're gonna spend
Speaker 4: a ton of time on him.
Speaker 3: No, but I think they might have given given the
Speaker 3: way things are going for the Canucks, they probably didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, if they didn't ask him in his interview, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're thinking about making you head coach? What happened the

Speaker 4: Yeah, the lake there? What's it right over the bridge there.
Speaker 3: Known as the little water? Just stop.
Speaker 1: Colonna is a beautiful place. It's a beautiful place.
Speaker 3: I tell you.
Speaker 4: I've had some good minor hockey tournaments there. There you go,
Speaker 4: partying in the best Western with the boys in the hallways.
Speaker 3: We've all had a lot of fun there.
Speaker 4: Just stop, Ryan, What do you know about?
Speaker 3: Donnie?
Speaker 4: And I know about minor hockey tournaments and partying in
Speaker 4: the best Westerns.
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time in Kelowna, though, I've
Speaker 1: spent lots of time. My grandparents used to live up there.
Speaker 1: There you go, Well, there you go.
Speaker 4: I never got I met get down and party like,
Speaker 4: come on, guys, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Colowna beautiful city.
Speaker 3: Uh, guys, this is unsigned. Not a huge fan of
Speaker 3: the higher but the Foots defense that Colonna Rockets team
Speaker 3: has produced zero NHLs, very rare. Thank you for a
Speaker 3: Memorial Cup host.
Speaker 4: Maybe the general manager thank you. Well, it may they're
Speaker 4: just a great submission. Maybe the general manager handed him
Speaker 4: not such a great hockey club.
Speaker 3: Down, But good coaches can deal with that and allow
Speaker 3: their players to improve.
Speaker 4: You can't make chicken salad with the chicken bleep. Bernie
Speaker 4: from Kelowna was their leading scorer fifty eight points today.
Speaker 4: Pabl Novak, he's doing in the Czech league.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3: He was in the East Coast Hockey League and he
Speaker 3: ended up and yeah, that's right. We maybe it might
Speaker 3: be the other way around.
Speaker 1: Yes, we do have this one from uh uh Alistair
Speaker 1: in the loops. Yeah, the lady's okay, tired Langley and
Speaker 1: Aldogrov inbox. I get Hughes as a big fan of
Speaker 1: foot and you have to do whatever it takes to
Speaker 1: keep him happy. But Foot was getting out coached left,
Speaker 1: right and center in Kloonna and oversaw a Rockets team
Speaker 1: that had the third and seventh worst goals for in
Speaker 1: the WHL in his two seasons there.
Speaker 3: Why are you bringing that up?
Speaker 1: Well, because there's somebody in Kamloops probably seen what I saw.
Speaker 1: Colonus Alistair in Kamloops followed the Rockets probably a little
Speaker 1: bit more closely than we did during that time. So
Speaker 1: what do you say again, I'm not repeating it. Bottom
Speaker 1: line is it didn't go well. His teams didn't play
Speaker 1: overly well in Coloonna.
Speaker 4: Okay, he was there for the one No, he didn't
Speaker 4: fish the team.
Speaker 3: He didn't finish the season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, Ryan said his teams in Colonia, he
Speaker 4: was there one year, Okay.
Speaker 3: Jim in Vancouver, this is a very good point, de Laneys.
Speaker 3: Did the Canadians care about Marty San luis bantam coaching
Speaker 3: results before they signed as head coach? Is always going
Speaker 3: to be exceptions, And Jim makes a very good point,
Speaker 3: like Marty Saint Louis. They coaching minor hockey, but he's
Speaker 3: Marty Saint Louis, like an accomplished player, and you could
Speaker 3: say the same thing to be positive for a second year.
Speaker 3: You could say the same thing about Adam Foot all
Speaker 3: sorts of success as a player.
Speaker 4: Ah twenty plus years down the cops for Canada at
Speaker 4: World tournaments.
Speaker 3: You know we should get on soon. Ryan is Doug McClain.
Speaker 3: Doug McClain, when he was in charge of the Columbus
Speaker 3: Blue Jackets, went out of his way do you remember
Speaker 3: this to sign as a free agent Adam Foot. He
Speaker 3: eventually made his way back to Colorado, but he would
Speaker 3: have a few things to say about Adam Foot as
Speaker 3: a player and as a leader of that Columbus team.
Speaker 3: Back of the day were laughing about it. No, there's
Speaker 3: just people ripping everybody. Hey, listen.
Speaker 4: And the other thing to keep in mind with the Foot,
Speaker 4: we gotta give him time. You can't sit and rip
Speaker 4: and teary.
Speaker 1: What you're getting that stands take a stance.
Speaker 4: So at Christmas time, if the Canucks are first in
Speaker 4: their division, you two are gonna be Oh, what a
Speaker 4: great decision at the foot up boy. I called it
Speaker 4: from day one. That's why you two are gonna Well
Speaker 4: do you like the.
Speaker 3: Hire or not?
Speaker 4: I think I said hold on that guy, are you
Speaker 4: down with water in the break? I think this higher
Speaker 4: is for Quinn Hughes. I think this higher, if you
Speaker 4: look at the money, is the owner stepping in there
Speaker 4: and saying we're not this guy's not getting four or
Speaker 4: five million.
Speaker 1: I think to those do.
Speaker 3: You like it or not?
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 4: I like it. It keeps the continuity. You don't have
Speaker 4: a brand new bench in Vancouver behind the bench and
Speaker 4: you don't have that, So I don't mind it.
Speaker 1: I don't mind it.
Speaker 3: They should, you know what they should do, Like this
Speaker 3: is just an idea for an improvement. Those new seats
Speaker 3: at Rogers Arena. Put them on the Canucks bench. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, soccer players have those great seats in the
Speaker 3: coaches like gaming chairs. Why not Doug from Salmon arm
Speaker 3: If it's so important to be a good coach at
Speaker 3: the junior level, then Willie d should still be coaching
Speaker 3: in the NHL. Of course, his medicine had tigers. He
Speaker 3: goes back with the medicine had tigers before his time
Speaker 3: with the Canucks. That the Western Hockey League final.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, will Foot be the next Bill of Forge. We
Speaker 4: just got that text.
Speaker 3: In Junior Hockey Coach Lit late.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Bill was a long time Western hockey coach
Speaker 4: before you got the Canucks job.
Speaker 3: That was controversial because we're going to the eighties. It
Speaker 3: was controversial because no NHL experience with with Bill of Forge,
Speaker 3: none and Ernie McClain was in their backyard and all
Speaker 3: sorts of well punched.
Speaker 1: At Rider Russell and what was it?
Speaker 3: Pride, right, hustle, desire? He lost the twenty games and
Speaker 3: then Harry Neil took over again. But Ernie McClain was
Speaker 3: there and he wanted the job and he was a
Speaker 3: very successful junior coach. People know that, and they went
Speaker 3: with Bill a Forge and the rest is history. Dark
Speaker 3: times for the Coniks. How are we doing for a break?
Speaker 1: Yeah? We did able last Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, big Rye. Next Donnie Delly, the team on check
Speaker 3: just had a big ride. The Critter guy. No shortage
Speaker 3: of people in the Delaney's Okay, Tyron Langley an alder
Speaker 3: Grove in box bringing up the situation with Cal Foot,
Speaker 3: Adam Foot's kid who's involved in the Hockey Canada scandal
Speaker 3: the court case back east. I will say this that
Speaker 3: it is something that Adam Foot and down the road
Speaker 3: is going to have to answer questions about absolutely. How
Speaker 3: he deals with that will be extremely interesting, Big.
Speaker 1: Rye, that is true, big right. The Twitter Guard brought

Speaker 1: moments ago bringing up something you know. Rick Rick has
Speaker 1: yelled and screamed about this a lot about the instability
Speaker 1: here when it comes to head coaches in Vancouver with
Speaker 1: the Canucks. What are they on? Four and four years? Right?
Speaker 1: Four years?
Speaker 3: The flyers here?
Speaker 1: No, I'm gonna go Brandon Nasheal talking about Abbotsford he
Speaker 1: just tweeted out moments ago. Manny is deserving of getting
Speaker 1: a hard look in the NHL animal culture that is,
Speaker 1: but with selfishly hoping he'd be back in Abby next year,
Speaker 1: developing proper respects is critical and he has hit it
Speaker 1: out of the park in his last first year. Plus.
Speaker 1: Ryan Johnson would have had to hire his fourth coach
Speaker 1: in five years in Abbotsford.
Speaker 3: If he had left.
Speaker 1: So we talk about the instability in Vancouver with coaches
Speaker 1: in the turnover, you potentially would have been looking at
Speaker 1: instability in Abbotsford. And I would almost argue that that's
Speaker 1: more of a concern because that's where the development is
Speaker 1: supposed to be happening. And if you have all of
Speaker 1: these guys coming in for kids that are or younger
Speaker 1: prospects that are in that development stage, and you have
Speaker 1: all these different voices and all these different philosophies changing
Speaker 1: year after year after years, that's a real concern.
Speaker 3: But I think that is not unusual when it comes
Speaker 3: to the miners.
Speaker 1: To HL and I guess so head.
Speaker 3: Coaches, they're always looking to move.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. But but the Jeremy
Speaker 4: calls him. They liked him. They just had an issue
Speaker 4: over salary and he moved. That's why he left. He
Speaker 4: was never supposed to leave. They he just asked for
Speaker 4: more money than they were willing to give them.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Another This is a reaction from a friend of
Speaker 1: the show, Matthew Barnaby. He tweeted out moments ago so
Speaker 1: pumped for talk and Footer if you've missed it, Rick Talkeett,
Speaker 1: Flyers head coach, played with and under in Colorado. Awesome
Speaker 1: hockey guys, teammates and most importantly people that can communicate
Speaker 1: with today's players. That's what Matthew Barnerby tweeted out about
Speaker 1: the situation in both Philadelphia and in Vancouver. The skeletons
Speaker 1: thing that Rick brought up is a very good point.
Speaker 1: You know, foot went through the fire this year. You know,
Speaker 1: he knows, he knows where, he knows all the details
Speaker 1: about everything that happened in the locker room. And so
Speaker 1: is he the best He's obviously the best candidate to
Speaker 1: be dealing with that locker room knowing what it went through.
Speaker 1: This pass is.
Speaker 3: Sure, But he was part of a staff that couldn't
Speaker 3: get the job done when it came to the situation.
Speaker 1: But he could, he would say, he would say, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't head coach. You know I could only
Speaker 1: do so much in that situation.
Speaker 3: I brought up the Flyers situation with with Rick Tockett,
Speaker 3: and again you mentioned if you haven't heard Rick Tockett
Speaker 3: on top of the Adam foot News has been hired
Speaker 3: as a head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers, as was
Speaker 3: speculated for a couple of weeks here, he's their eighth
Speaker 3: head coach in ten years if you included infim head
Speaker 3: coaches and starting with Craig Perruby. I have very little
Speaker 3: memory of Ruby being out with the Philadelphia Flyers. That's
Speaker 3: a lot, that's a lot of instability there. But he's
Speaker 3: getting he's getting the bag, as you talked about it.
Speaker 4: In the first five years, the Flyers have not made
Speaker 4: the playoffs, Johnny, they don't have a goaltender, but they
Speaker 4: are expected to be players on July first. Let's see
Speaker 4: what talk it gets for help this summer.
Speaker 3: Five million a year, five million years, which is Rick
Speaker 3: and I have nothing but respect for him, But that's
Speaker 3: a lot of money for somebody who's had really one
Speaker 3: successful year as head coach in the National The.
Speaker 4: Cadocks were going to buck up for him, but five million.
Speaker 4: The Caducks offer was over four million five years. It
Speaker 4: also helps.
Speaker 1: It helped Rick to have that many openings, definitely.
Speaker 3: I mean how often you know, Boston was competing from
Speaker 3: maybe Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Seattle, Like, how often do we see this many openings
Speaker 1: in the NHL? And it was up to what eight.
Speaker 4: But you know what, there's a lot of teams and
Speaker 4: they're all looking and there's just not he had leverage.
Speaker 1: He had leverage, he had he had TV on top
Speaker 1: of that too. Yeah, regardless of how real that was
Speaker 1: him going back, bottom line is it was there.
Speaker 3: In that situation. It's the only way you get ahead
Speaker 3: we get in our business. The only way you know,
Speaker 3: you're gonna get any extra, the only way you're gonna
Speaker 3: get the bag. And he had a good age and
Speaker 3: our in our business is if you have leverage, somebody
Speaker 3: wants you.
Speaker 1: And clearly we don't have any. That's why we're here.
Speaker 3: All three of us have no leverage, zero leverage. No
Speaker 3: one's had stunning the team.
Speaker 4: No one's got leverage in our industry anymore. Zero zilts
Speaker 4: not we had something back in the day.
Speaker 1: You did.
Speaker 3: Up until your take on the Adam foot.
Speaker 4: I got a lot of support people saying he's been
Speaker 4: here two and a half years, the cannuction him inside out,
Speaker 4: they don't care what happened Colodna five years ago.
Speaker 1: DoD So I find that hard to believe.
Speaker 3: So, okay, Rick, if the Canucks were reconsidering or considering
Speaker 3: rehiring Willie d Would you bring up his.
Speaker 4: Past with the Canucks, Yeah, of course you would. But Donnie,
Speaker 4: why But he's been in the building. They watch him
Speaker 4: every day, seven days a week in the winter. They
Speaker 4: talk to him every day, they see him, they see
Speaker 4: him at work. Now he's going from assistant.
Speaker 1: To head coach. But does no matter what he didn't
Speaker 1: Cologna five years ago.
Speaker 3: How many times have you heard people say so and
Speaker 3: so is a great assistant coach, but he can't handle
Speaker 3: the head coaching duties.
Speaker 4: Okay, why'd you get hired if Colona was such a
Speaker 4: bad thing? Why do you get hired?
Speaker 3: Well, for one thing, he's at him foot well and
Speaker 3: his resume as a player was pretty good. He also
Speaker 3: had kids on here.
Speaker 4: He's also got a guy named Quintin Hughes backing them up.
Speaker 4: That helps, Yeah, it helps.
Speaker 3: That since the reason we're working here.
Speaker 1: That's it for Big rather Twitter Guy presented by Surry Mitsubishi.

Speaker 3: we've talked about the Stanley Cup playoffs all at all
Speaker 3: because Rick Talckett just before the show hired by the
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Flyers. They made it official. Then a few moments
Speaker 3: after that, lo and behold Adam Foot, new head coach
Speaker 3: of the Vancouver Canucks. John Channon joins us now from
Speaker 3: the One hundred Percent Hockey Podcast. John, thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 7: How are you boys? Just another quiet day right.
Speaker 3: Well supposed to be and then only you know what
Speaker 3: broke loose. What's your reaction to Adam Foot, with very
Speaker 3: little experience, being the new head coach of the Vancouver Canucks.
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it must, I must admit. Of of the guys
Speaker 7: that were on the list, I knew that Adam was
Speaker 7: getting considered, but I was led to believe that there
Speaker 7: would be a little more head coaching experience at the
Speaker 7: NHL level to be considered. That's one of the reasons
Speaker 7: why I never thought Manny was going to get the job,
Speaker 7: So from that perspective, there's a bit of surprise. The
Speaker 7: one thing I would say is that, and you guys
Speaker 7: know it better than I do, but but Rick Talcket
Speaker 7: and Adam Foot were joined at the hip for the
Speaker 7: two and a half years that they were there, so
Speaker 7: that the relationship that was created between particularly Patrick Alvin
Speaker 7: and Rick and Adam I think played a huge role
Speaker 7: in what has what has come through today, you know,
Speaker 7: and it and it really it speaks to the need
Speaker 7: for the general manager and the coach to have a
Speaker 7: strong bond, a strong relationship, and I think that's exactly
Speaker 7: what happened today. In addition to as you guys have
Speaker 7: talked about the relationship that that Adam has and has
Speaker 7: had with the with Quinn Hughes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, John, I'm looking at Marty san Luis Hockey
Speaker 3: DP page zero coaching experience at the pro or junior level.
Speaker 3: He was coaching a minor hockey before he got the
Speaker 3: Habs job, and I think most of us would agree
Speaker 3: he's done a fine job there. Do you remember what
Speaker 3: your reaction was or what the general reaction was when
Speaker 3: he got the job with so little, if any coaching
Speaker 3: experience at the pro level.
Speaker 7: Certainly, believe it or not, I wasn't surprised, just because
Speaker 7: I knew the relationship between Jeff, Gordon, Kent, Hughes and Marty.
Speaker 7: They have all been great friends. They all lived either
Speaker 7: in New York or Boston, and they all had a
Speaker 7: joint interest in their kids hockey. So there had been
Speaker 7: a ton of discussions between the three of them about
Speaker 7: the game.
Speaker 1: And the other thing.
Speaker 7: The other thing about Montreal is it's not really a
Speaker 7: fair comparison because in Montreal you need to be bilingual.
Speaker 7: And let's face it, when Marty got hired, when Jeff
Speaker 7: got hired and Kent, they were at the bottom of
Speaker 7: the league. They were at zero and so they were
Speaker 7: able to build something. And that was how long ago?
Speaker 7: Now is that four years they've been together?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Four years?
Speaker 7: Okay, so four years. And I'm not sure. I don't
Speaker 7: view the Canucks in that same spot because I don't
Speaker 7: think the fan base would take four years of a
Speaker 7: rebuild in Vancouver again, So from from that perspective, I
Speaker 7: understand the question. I don't think it's an apples to
Speaker 7: Apples comparison. You know, Adam Foot has been behind the
Speaker 7: bench other than in Kelowna for the short period of time,
Speaker 7: but and other than the Canucks. You know, he was
Speaker 7: behind the bench in Denver for seven seasons as their
Speaker 7: defensive coach. And I do think there's something to be
Speaker 7: said for that. This guy does understand what it's like
Speaker 7: to be around an NHL team. He and and I
Speaker 7: know that I know and see the reaction, I think
Speaker 7: it might be a little premature to say that this
Speaker 7: is not a good hire. I think there should be
Speaker 7: some open minds about what exactly Adam Foot can do.
Speaker 7: We know he's passionate, we know he has a great
Speaker 7: knowledge of the game, and I think that Patrick Alvin
Speaker 7: and Jim Brotherhood have seen that. So I'm prepared to
Speaker 7: give Adam at least the benefit of the doubt for
Speaker 7: a while.
Speaker 4: All Right, Adam Foot in Rick talking out Johnny's gonna
Speaker 4: go to Philadelphia? Was that a destination you thought all
Speaker 4: along for Talckett? But boy, it looks like they're going
Speaker 4: to buck up for him. It looks like something like
Speaker 4: five times five for talking to Philly.
Speaker 7: Well when they you know, when the announcement comes I
Speaker 7: think everybody else said, yeah, we told you so, because
Speaker 7: the moment Rick opted out, that was the first name
Speaker 7: that came came up was going back to Philadelphia. He
Speaker 7: obviously has a great relationship with Danny Brier, has won
Speaker 7: with Keith Jones. There is some logic there, but I
Speaker 7: think Takot had his pick. By the way, I just
Speaker 7: want to correct something that a lot of people have
Speaker 7: been saying. Rick Takitt did not get an interview in Seattle.
Speaker 7: He did not get an interview. He was never offered
Speaker 7: the job. So anybody that's saying that he was offered
Speaker 7: the job, it's just not true. So there was no
Speaker 7: contemplation of him going to Seattle. He did not get
Speaker 7: offered the job or get an interview when the team
Speaker 7: expanded there. But he thought he got an interview. They
Speaker 7: tried to put Ron Francis and Rick Talkett together in
Speaker 7: the same room because they're former teammates, and two plus
Speaker 7: two got four, and it was it was two plus
Speaker 7: two gout five every time. So Talkott was never considered
Speaker 7: in Seattle at this point, so that's something to keep
Speaker 7: in mind. I do think Boston was interested. But you know,
Speaker 7: the one thing about the Boston Bruins, as successful as
Speaker 7: they are, they have budgets and they only pay a
Speaker 7: certain amount of money to certain people. And so in
Speaker 7: the end, when you look at it, with Mike Sullivan
Speaker 7: taking the ranger job, I think the only place that
Speaker 7: made sense for Talckett was Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: All these coaches.
Speaker 4: Somebody told me, John at the league executive or sorry,
Speaker 4: a league executive told me there's so many openings but
Speaker 4: not enough quality candidates. Do you agree with that?
Speaker 7: I think we're well, don't forget you know, the outside
Speaker 7: guy and all this was David Carl, right, Yeah, David Carl,
Speaker 7: who is at the University of Denver and has just
Speaker 7: signed a new deal at the University of Denver, was
Speaker 7: supposed to be the new blood at thirty five or
Speaker 7: thirty six years old, but he opted to stay there.
Speaker 7: So to me, that was kind of a little bit
Speaker 7: of a domino effect that said, oh, no, we're not
Speaker 7: getting any new blood now, we have to go back
Speaker 7: to the old guys here. But here, here's the other thing, though, Rick,
Speaker 7: look at the success of teams. Right now, Pete Devor
Speaker 7: is not on his first team. How many how many
Speaker 7: teams has Pete been on?
Speaker 4: Four or five.
Speaker 7: They're a pretty good team. Paul Maurice, same thing. You know,
Speaker 7: Craig Berubi, how many teams has he coached? You know
Speaker 7: this is at least three, So that there is something
Speaker 7: to be said for retreads. And I say retreads with
Speaker 7: love and affection. But that's just the reality of the
Speaker 7: way this business is. Should there be new young blood, Absolutely,
Speaker 7: and I think that's one of the reasons why you
Speaker 7: keep many Malhultra in Abbotsford. Let him hone his skills
Speaker 7: as a head coach. You don't want him back in
Speaker 7: Vancouver as an assistant coach. You don't want him picking
Speaker 7: up bucks. You want him making decisions and teaching people.
Speaker 7: Leave him in Abbotsford. And I heard Ryan talk about,
Speaker 7: you know, the issues of stability in the American League.
Speaker 7: It's very valid. Allow many Malhultra to hone his skills
Speaker 7: so when the time comes, he is ready to be
Speaker 7: an NHL coach.
Speaker 3: The only problem there, John, and by the way, Ryan's
Speaker 3: puffing out his chest with your compliment there. But the
Speaker 3: only problem with that is you risk losing Manny to
Speaker 3: another organization.
Speaker 7: You risk lots of things, lots of times, Don and
Speaker 7: I understand that but at the same time, you know,
Speaker 7: if if you manage it properly, you you know the
Speaker 7: timing of it, you know understand what the issues are
Speaker 7: you you I know that people will in maybe in
Speaker 7: Ecolini Sports don't want to hear this. You might have
Speaker 7: to overpay, oh for you, you might have to overpay
Speaker 7: your American League coach.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 7: It's it's not popular to bring up Toronto, uh in Vancouver.
Speaker 7: I know that, but I look at what happened when
Speaker 7: Kyle Dubis took over the Maple Leafs. He brought Sheldon
Speaker 7: Keith not to the NHL team because he wasn't ready.
Speaker 7: He stuck him in the American League with the Marleys,
Speaker 7: And when they made the decision to move on for
Speaker 7: Mike Babcock, Sheldon Keith is ready. And again Sheldon Keith
Speaker 7: did a pretty good job in Toronto and is doing
Speaker 7: a good job in New Jersey. So so the everybody,
Speaker 7: it's it's funny, right, Today's one of those emotional days.
Speaker 7: Everybody thinks there's no plan, and there's no plan until
Speaker 7: you put one in place, ye And so there you know,
Speaker 7: I would suggest there is a plan for Malhultra. And
Speaker 7: I would also suggest that Adam Foot will have a
Speaker 7: plan on even though he's a defensive specialist, to have
Speaker 7: a plan and bring someone in to handle a little
Speaker 7: bit of the offense. I look at Winnipeg what they
Speaker 7: did in changing their assistant coaches in the offseason and
Speaker 7: bringing in Dean Chanout and Davis Payne, and look how
Speaker 7: successful they have been, at least until last night.
Speaker 3: Hey one more, John, with the Stanley Cup playoffs, switching
Speaker 3: gears for a second, is how oppressed are you with
Speaker 3: the Oilers and their three to one series lead over
Speaker 3: Vegas Without.
Speaker 1: That come.
Speaker 7: It's truly an amazing story. And what has happened in
Speaker 7: Edmonton is the cries of we have no depth, we
Speaker 7: have no depth that occurred all season long. Are now, boy,
Speaker 7: we have great depth. You know, all of a sudden,
Speaker 7: You know, Adam Henrique, who had a miserable season, is
Speaker 7: playing the way he did in New Jersey and Anaheim.
Speaker 7: Connor Brown is one hundred percent healthy. Evander Kayne's back
Speaker 7: and playing like Evander Kaine can. Trent Frederick is doing
Speaker 7: the same thing. So all of a sudden, their death
Speaker 7: and by the way, just as an aside, Troy Stetcher
Speaker 7: coming back into the line office and playing and calming
Speaker 7: Darnell Nurse down last game was a big factor too.
Speaker 7: So all of a sudden, all the acquisitions that the
Speaker 7: Oilers made that people criticized, they've done a really good
Speaker 7: job of building depth. And it didn't hurt either that
Speaker 7: Connor McDavid missed eleven games in the regular season and
Speaker 7: Leon Dreisidle missed fifteen and they're actually rested in the
Speaker 7: playoffs and that's a big factor as well.
Speaker 3: Thanks for saying there's nothing wrong with retreads. You have
Speaker 3: no idea how much we appreciate.
Speaker 7: You know, Hey, listen between the between the three of us,
Speaker 7: you know, we could, we could, we could, we could
Speaker 7: open one of those tire stores, the tire store, you know,
Speaker 7: and why not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we'll look into it. Use tires. It's busy, John.
Speaker 3: Thanks for Johnny us. Here's boys next week. John Channon
Speaker 3: One Hockey podcasting. You heard him at the start of
Speaker 3: that interview. Despite reports to the contrary, no Seattle interview.
Speaker 4: For Rik Talckett all uh, that caught me off guard.
Speaker 4: A lot of inside your Insiders reportings. He not only
Speaker 4: got an interview with Seattle, but he got a great
Speaker 4: offer so interesting.
Speaker 3: Well, it has to make the Canucks feel good, just
Speaker 3: because it would have looked I thought it looked bad
Speaker 3: that even that he would have got just an interview
Speaker 3: with Seattle after what you're about forget to say about
Speaker 3: Rick Talckett wanting to set up shop back east. So
Speaker 3: reportedly from John No interview or job offer for Rick
Speaker 3: Talckett from the Seattle crack, and he is now once
Speaker 3: again a member of the Philadelphia Flyers organization. Adam Foot,
Speaker 3: new head coach of the Vancouver Canucks a break and
Speaker 3: then we're gonna have that Max Sassin interview we talked
Speaker 3: about Abbotsford Canucks Center Vancouver Canucks prospect Abbotsford Game one
Speaker 3: against the Colorado Eagles in their third round HL playoff series.
Speaker 3: It takes place Friday in Absford. Maxis next Donnie Dolly

Speaker 3: is the new head coach of the Vancouver Canucks. Leads
Speaker 3: to our wattling dog poll question. Visit one of Victoria's
Speaker 3: favorite pubs, The Dog, where you can enjoy twenty taps,
Speaker 3: twenty screens. You're home for the Canucks in UFC. Come
Speaker 3: sit and stay at the Dog today, Rick.
Speaker 4: All right, right, get her up the waddling dog pup
Speaker 4: pole question. Is Adam Foot the right choice for the
Speaker 4: Canucks new head coach? You got the job by this morning?
Speaker 4: Fifty eight percent say no, He's not the right choice.
Speaker 4: Forty two percent say yes. Seventeen hundred votes. That's hopping,
Speaker 4: it's bopping, and it is not stopping.
Speaker 3: And Rick Hackett hired as the new head coach in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: I want to say this too. We've been referring to
Speaker 3: hockey dB and other websites regarding Adam Foot's coaching experience.
Speaker 3: John Shannon made a point he did work before the
Speaker 3: job in Colonade as a defensive consultant defensive coach with
Speaker 3: the Colorado Avalanche. That's not listed on his Hockey dB PAG.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was a situation. We'll figure
Speaker 3: it out somewhere down the road. Sergey gonchar Point came
Speaker 3: in every one. I guess he was living in Denver
Speaker 3: and came in every once in a while to work
Speaker 3: with the defense. But for some reason it's not listed
Speaker 3: on every information website. So we'll look into that. So
Speaker 3: maybe more experience than we gave them credit for absolutely earlier. Okay,
Speaker 3: we want to get to this Max Sassin interview that
Speaker 3: we did before the show. Recorded it before the show.
Speaker 3: Abbotsford Canucks Center had thirty two points at forty one
Speaker 3: regular season games, as five points in seven playoff games
Speaker 3: in the HL playoffs. Had twenty nine games with the
Speaker 3: Vancouver Canucks, three goals for assist seven points. Max and
Speaker 3: the Abbotsford Canucks playing game one of their third round
Speaker 3: best of five American Hockey League series against Colorado. It
Speaker 3: starts Friday at the Abbotsford Center. Game two is Sunday,
Speaker 3: and then they head down to Colorado for games three
Speaker 3: and if necessary four, and five again. Max joined us
Speaker 3: for a recording before the show, and we started the
Speaker 3: interview off asking Max this that their last game was Friday. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but the time Friday comes around, if my calculations are correct,
Speaker 3: that would be a week between between games, so seven
Speaker 3: days between games, and we asked Max to start. Is
Speaker 3: that a good thing or a bad thing? You know?
Speaker 8: I think it's in between. We're we're definitely gearing up
Speaker 8: and we're really excited for the game. But you know,
Speaker 8: playoff hockey, there's some bumps and bruises and stuff, so
Speaker 8: some guys to get some rest is good. But yeah,
Speaker 8: I think we wanted to keep this thing, uh rolling.
Speaker 8: We find probably wanted to play the next night. So
Speaker 8: we're excited for Friday and we're getting we're getting ready
Speaker 8: ready to go.
Speaker 3: You went to playoff series Max with what are the
Speaker 3: reasons for all the success so far?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think we just uh, you know, we we
Speaker 8: have a lot of belief in our group. Uh, you know,
Speaker 8: all the cliches, but uh, I think we have a
Speaker 8: really good deep forward group. I think we have really
Speaker 8: solid back end. And then uh, obviously when arder Se
Speaker 8: Lofts is playing like this, you know, it seems like
Speaker 8: it's it's pretty tough to score out him right now,
Speaker 8: which is which is great for us. And he's playing
Speaker 8: with a lot of confidence in that swagger and uh,
Speaker 8: you know, we're gonna need to for him to continue
Speaker 8: it as we keep going.
Speaker 4: Uh, you got some looks with the Canucks this season,
Speaker 4: playing with the big league club. How close are you
Speaker 4: in your mind to becoming an NHL regular? Max?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I'm Uh, I think I'm very close.
Speaker 8: Uh you know, I think I had some success and uh,
Speaker 8: you know, some areas to improve on, and I think
Speaker 8: finding the consistency of you know, playing at my top
Speaker 8: level every single night, well hopefully hopefully get me there
Speaker 8: next season. Obviously right now I'm focused on is is
Speaker 8: our playoffs? But uh yeah, obviously looking down the down
Speaker 8: the road, Uh you know, the consistency and uh you know,
Speaker 8: maybe beefing up a little bit and uh working on
Speaker 8: working on my face offs. I think, you know, I'm
Speaker 8: right there and I'll be knocking on the door for
Speaker 8: a for a spot.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: Coming out of college. Uh, you had a ton of
Speaker 4: teams after you, Like I'm we're talking, you know, multiple
Speaker 4: multiple teams. Why did you pick Vancouver and are you
Speaker 4: happy with that decision?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I did have quite a few teams, and I
Speaker 8: just think the the conversations that I had with with
Speaker 8: Patrick and uh r J and Scott Young over that
Speaker 8: the course of that season, I think really suade me
Speaker 8: to coming here. And uh yeah, I'm very happy, uh
Speaker 8: with the decision. You know, I love the the organization
Speaker 8: as a whole, and uh you know, it's been great
Speaker 8: and they've given me a lot of opportunity and hopefully
Speaker 8: uh keep going and yeah, as you said, find uh
Speaker 8: find a regular spot in the roster hopefully next year.
Speaker 8: And yeah, I'm definitely happy with the decision.
Speaker 3: We'll talk with Max Assassin Abbatsford Canucks, getting back to
Speaker 3: what happened this year for you at the NHL level
Speaker 3: twenty nine games. What was your number one takeaway? Max?
Speaker 3: Jumping that level?
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, I think, uh, you know, I was used
Speaker 8: to uh college HL. You know, the schedule is pretty
Speaker 8: much we play Friday Saturday. So I think a big adjustment,
Speaker 8: uh for myself and all of us that came up
Speaker 8: was uh, you know, playing every other day and uh
Speaker 8: you know, like focusing on like each game every other day.
Speaker 8: It's uh it's a lot mentally obviously, the the physical
Speaker 8: side it's you know, I mean it's faster. You know,
Speaker 8: you make a mistake and guys are going to make
Speaker 8: you pay all that stuff. But I think the hardest
Speaker 8: thing for me was uh, you know, adjusting to you know,
Speaker 8: learning how to like recover better in between and you know,
Speaker 8: using that day off to just not even think about hockey,
Speaker 8: and uh you know, it's a whole other beast playing
Speaker 8: every other day and the travels harder. So you know,
Speaker 8: I think I, uh I started to get better with
Speaker 8: that as uh as it went on there, and uh yeah,
Speaker 8: I think I've I took a lot away and learned,
Speaker 8: uh you know, how to probably have my mindset in
Speaker 8: a better place, plan every other night, and my body
Speaker 8: as well.
Speaker 3: You mentioned beef, the possibility of beefing up a bit,
Speaker 3: putting on some more muscle. Have you had time at
Speaker 3: all to think about what's going to happen in the
Speaker 3: in the off season. I believe you're an RFA for instance.
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, I mean I haven't h No, I haven't
Speaker 8: had much time to uh to think about that, you know,
Speaker 8: or I haven't had any conversations, but uh yeah, I
Speaker 8: I assume, I hope hopefully they want me back. I'd
Speaker 8: love to be back, and uh yeah, obviously that's a
Speaker 8: conversation for down the road and uh you know, I'm
Speaker 8: just gonna continue to put my best foot forward here
Speaker 8: for habits for in the playoffs and uh you know
Speaker 8: it's that's conversation my agent, myself and Patrick lab after
Speaker 8: the season.
Speaker 3: I got to say, Max, before we let you go,
Speaker 3: one hell of a playoff beard. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 8: This is this thing, This thing is getting long.
Speaker 3: Who's got the best beard? Uh?
Speaker 8: Phil Deep, He's pretty good. Uh Jujar, I'd like to
Speaker 8: I'll put myself in the category.
Speaker 3: But yeah, this uh, this.
Speaker 8: Thing's getting thick, which is obviously it's a good thing.
Speaker 4: Hey Max, we butchered your name when when you got
Speaker 4: called up by the Canucks.
Speaker 3: Give us the real, the real deal.
Speaker 8: My dad claims that you got that you were the
Speaker 8: one that got it right and I did. I think so?
Speaker 8: You said yeah, but honestly, I and then Shorty uh
Speaker 8: he was saying that one game sessan and then my
Speaker 8: family was like, but we like sass and too when
Speaker 8: so my hockey I'm gonna go by if I meet
Speaker 8: you out in the street, I'll say Cessan and then
Speaker 8: if uh yeah, if you're watching a game, I told
Speaker 8: the broadcaster just say Sassin, so you actually have it right.
Speaker 8: But honestly I liked that my name's being thrown around
Speaker 8: like that.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, yeah, Sassin. We're gonna go Assassin just
Speaker 3: cause it's easiest for us. Okay, the last work for us,
Speaker 3: the better. That's the way it goes.
Speaker 8: Yes, all that's good to be.
Speaker 3: And our thanks to Max Assassin. We recorded that interview
Speaker 3: and we had to do some editing of that interview
Speaker 3: because we at one point we asked him about Manny
Speaker 3: Mahultra and what he'd be like as an NHL head

Speaker 3: hiring of Adam Foot by the Bank or of Connections stunty,
Speaker 3: like coach Rick, what do you got? I got?
Speaker 4: Where is the Coquitlam Joe Let's hope Foot ask for
Speaker 4: more muscle on the team, Donny, I like this one
Speaker 4: from Coquitlam Joe. Uh. I'm surprised Coquitlam Joe didn't say
Speaker 4: is a foot going to ask for more Canadians because
Speaker 4: the Cannucks only have two Canadians on the roster. But anyways,
Speaker 4: more muscle would be nice, Donnie. Get some guys, especially
Speaker 4: in the top six. I'm not saying bottom six. I
Speaker 4: think there they got some good haft in the bottom six,
Speaker 4: but I think in the top six, Donnie, they need
Speaker 4: some size and sandpaper in the top six.
Speaker 3: What they need in the top six is for Eleias
Speaker 3: Patterson to get his game going.
Speaker 4: What forget that, that's the child the four can figure
Speaker 4: that out, don He's.
Speaker 3: Got a So more important is to get hard scale.
Speaker 1: That's very captain obvious by you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we said that you the obvious, that's what
Speaker 1: you would say.
Speaker 3: Well, because you guys are worried about being too hard
Speaker 3: on Eleas Petterson.
Speaker 1: No, it's just that's so obvious. You could say that
Speaker 1: about anything right now. If somebody said, you know the
Speaker 1: connection with they improve that need to improve you know
Speaker 1: their fourth line, you go, well, first of all, they
Speaker 1: need to.
Speaker 3: Approve because because I think We're at a point now
Speaker 3: where it's been brought up so much that people almost
Speaker 3: forget about it, like they're just like, well, it's not
Speaker 3: it's never gonna happen. I bother talking about. I'm just
Speaker 3: saying that the number one thing they need in their
Speaker 3: top six is their top center iceman to get his activity.
Speaker 4: They also need more heart scale in the top six
Speaker 4: because that guy that had heart scale they traded J. T.
Speaker 3: Miller and you were all for that.
Speaker 4: And by the way, Adam Foot, you know what, Peterson
Speaker 4: could make a break foot next you're done? Uh kiss,
Speaker 4: but he could prove But hey, he needs to get
Speaker 4: back to his hundred one season.
Speaker 1: He can make or break foot. Hey, guys, the Canucks
Speaker 1: news has not stopped. Oh they announced moments ago Tom
Speaker 1: Willander three year contract.
Speaker 3: Oh Tom is done.
Speaker 1: So it's just all coming up.
Speaker 3: What do you know about this?
Speaker 4: I talked to his advisor this morning from Sweden.
Speaker 1: That worked out.
Speaker 4: Well, well that was a few hours ago at five
Speaker 4: this morning. But he certainly didn't. This happened very quick,
Speaker 4: very very quick.
Speaker 1: No it didn't. Well, okay, maybe today. Yeah, you've been
Speaker 1: dragging on for weeks. Oh god, it's been had good
Speaker 1: quick or not? This happened quick, he told me yesterday.
Speaker 1: The other day there was till miles apart. So here,
Speaker 1: here's what I'm thinking. Here's what I'm thinking. This is
Speaker 1: just you know the way I think.
Speaker 3: Here we go, try to try to stay with me here.
Speaker 1: I'm not Yeah, okay, the Adam Foot news, I think,
Speaker 1: are you listening here? Stuff?
Speaker 3: Let me go, Let me go. The Adam Foot news
Speaker 3: can be looked at by a lot of people as
Speaker 3: negative news. Think a lot of people. We've seen it
Speaker 3: in our inbox today that people are like, what I'm here?
Speaker 3: So Tom Vlander getting him signed, I think most people
Speaker 3: would agree is positive news. Yeah, So trying to smooth
Speaker 3: customers the only route I'm saying, the only right shot
Speaker 3: defensemen in the last fifteen years, they've taken the first
Speaker 3: thing with me Reck.
Speaker 1: So you think they kept this in the top drawer
Speaker 1: of the desk, had it in the holster, and so
Speaker 1: when the when a negative story came out, they went,
Speaker 1: let's give this to that.
Speaker 3: I think under normal circumstances. I know you've been a
Speaker 3: member of the media for you know, fifty years, and
Speaker 3: I understand that, but under normal circumstances you would say
Speaker 3: that news for maybe a day or two later if
Speaker 3: you if you felt.
Speaker 4: Why are they dropping this on the Adam I just
Speaker 4: told you you're reigning on Adam puts Pery.
Speaker 3: Or what embarracy theory? What if Derek erk is giving
Speaker 3: me the thumbs up?
Speaker 1: But what if foot said I'll only be the head
Speaker 1: coach if you signed Tom Allen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure that was this. I mean, you want
Speaker 4: to go because spars here. This happened. Hold on a sec.
Speaker 4: This happened real quick, real quick, because when I talked
Speaker 4: to the advisor in Sweden this morning of five, Todd Diamond,
Speaker 4: Todd Diamond, good guy.
Speaker 1: You won't be the better guy. No, you won't.
Speaker 3: Apparently he's not that good of a guy. I can't
Speaker 3: give you the scoop.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you. He's telling me. This happened quick. It
Speaker 4: didn't happen at five this morning. He was talking to
Speaker 4: teams from Sweden U for next year. Come on, Donny,
Speaker 4: this happened quick. Somebody bucked up, stepped up, and that's
Speaker 4: what happens in negotiations.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, conspiracy theory number three. They signed agree, they
Speaker 1: signed Adam foot Right. What did you guys say he's
Speaker 1: not gonna make what talking me? Suddenly there's extra money
Speaker 1: lying around the Canucks offices. Todd Diamond, come on down.
Speaker 3: So if they signed a more expensive coach, they wouldn't
Speaker 3: have signed Tom Vylander, risking his future with the organizations,
Speaker 3: just saying my conspiracy theory blows years away.
Speaker 1: We gotta think. We gotta take a break away over time.
Speaker 1: No birthdays. Unfortunately it's I prepared those birthdays for months ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, a break more?
Speaker 3: Is it just me? Did we doing?
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 3: Here? I think we did one? We did one again?
Speaker 3: Head spinning, need to save.
Speaker 1: It's too much the Canucks, they never think of us DN. Look,
Speaker 1: look when all this stuff's happened, I will say, they're
Speaker 1: bucking the trend of news. After our show today, two
Speaker 1: massive items in our show that rarely happens.
Speaker 3: Somebody's gonna get fired over this more? Is it just
Speaker 3: Me's next? Donnie Delly the team? I check It's Outlander
Speaker 3: plug In Hybrid Electric Vehicle days at Surrey Knitsubishi.
Speaker 4: This month get up to eight thousand, five hundred off
Speaker 4: their most popular all wheel drive suv, the Outlander plug
Speaker 4: In Hybrid.
Speaker 3: The Outlander plug in Hybrid is whisper quiet, fuel efficient,
Speaker 3: lets you drive electric or gas and can fit seven
Speaker 3: passengers in three rows.
Speaker 4: Of seating, cruise pass traffic and h OV lanes even
Speaker 4: when driving solo, and again save up to eight thousand,
Speaker 4: five hundred.
Speaker 9: Visit Surrey Mitsubishi at one three eight two oh one
Speaker 9: hundred and fourth Avenue and Surrey or online at Surrey
Speaker 9: Mitsubishi dot C A offer ends May thirty first. Okay,
Speaker 9: just before we get into score, is it just me
Speaker 9: some information regarding Tom Vlander. He signs a three year
Speaker 9: entry level deal contract he will not play in Abbotsford
Speaker 9: at these playoffs.
Speaker 4: I just don't say that yet. I think they're working
Speaker 4: on it, so I don't have confirmation on that. I
Speaker 4: think there. It just happened so quick. Here has come
Speaker 4: from the agent who didn't get talking. I'm texting the agent, Todd.
Speaker 1: The press release from the Canucks is worded weirdly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, what does it say? Well, it says that
Speaker 1: they look forward to seeing him in September at training camp.
Speaker 3: Okay, that could mean Vancouver looks for it, but maybe
Speaker 3: he'll be an atmosphere.
Speaker 4: I'm working on it, not there yet, But I do
Speaker 4: know Donnie very importantly, eight hundred thousand on a one bonuses.
Speaker 4: The fight was all over the number eight. The Caducks
Speaker 4: wouldn't go to eight. They finally got to eight. It
Speaker 4: happened really quickly here in the last hour. And it's
Speaker 4: a great feel good story.
Speaker 3: As you said, so now you agree with me.
Speaker 4: I'm one hundred percent with you. So the fight was
Speaker 4: over a bonuses. Really stupid to fight two months over
Speaker 4: a bonuses. He wasn't asking for the max. The max
Speaker 4: is a million. They settled on eight. He was in
Speaker 4: the mid high eight. Canucks were way lower than that.
Speaker 4: They bumped up to eight. Got it done, boom pipe
Speaker 4: and smoked.
Speaker 3: And maybe tomorrow, because we won't have time today, we
Speaker 3: can run the clip on the old clip of Jim
Speaker 3: Rutherford saying he expects him to play in the NHL.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 4: Yes, he's a very important right side, right side, very
Speaker 4: important piece on, very important piece for the future of
Speaker 4: the Vancouver Canucks. Signed today. Good move both sides. They
Speaker 4: had dug in their heels. They got her done in
Speaker 4: the last hour.
Speaker 3: So let's recap Philadelphia Flyers earlier today signing Rick Hackett
Speaker 3: as their new head coach, as was speculated in some circles.
Speaker 3: Moments later, Adam Foot Rick Hacket's buddy new head coach
Speaker 3: of the Vancouver Canucks. There was some negative reaction to that.
Speaker 3: As a result, the Canucks, this is my theory, decided
Speaker 3: to come up some positive news and they signed Tom
Speaker 3: Vyliner to a three year entry level contract. Pipe smoke,
Speaker 3: smoke it.
Speaker 4: Look, there's thirteen minutes left don in the show. I
Speaker 4: expect the Canucks to now announce something new to screw
Speaker 4: us up even more.
Speaker 3: Petterson traded, Oh what they've decided not to put it into
Speaker 3: the seats at Rogers.
Speaker 4: Donnie would love that if eleven six was traded.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm the only person who you two are the
Speaker 3: most and don Die Nanaimo, you three of the worst
Speaker 3: Pederson haters around. You're upset with me because I said
Speaker 3: the number one item that in terms of the Top
Speaker 3: six improving itself is to get Elias Petterson back to
Speaker 3: being Eliz Petterson. Well that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Take No, it's just captain. Which is why you would
Speaker 1: say if Rick or I said that. Now, if we said,
Speaker 1: if Rick said, you know, more than anything else, they
Speaker 1: need to get Peterson back on track. You would go, wow,
Speaker 1: thanks for.
Speaker 3: That, because it hasn't been brought up because people are
Speaker 3: assuming that his career is over, that he's just gonna
Speaker 3: this is what we saw this past season is what
Speaker 3: we're gonna. Nobody's talking about it, and I've rehashed it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you do say captain obvious to me a lot?
Speaker 3: So I don't win a lot. I'll say something you've
Speaker 3: taken over calling Peterson eleven six from me. I have
Speaker 3: called that for a long.
Speaker 4: I'm not calling him eleven six anymore, Dwight.
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 3: Just a prediction? Rick Hackett will win a Cup with
Speaker 3: Philadelphia before the Canucks do.
Speaker 4: That's a good But I'll tell you he ain't winning
Speaker 4: you next year, boy, I'll tell you that much. That
Speaker 4: team hasn't made the play. Okay, well, Donnie, they haven't
Speaker 4: going captain obvious there. Hey, I'm sorry it's sitting there.
Speaker 4: How about if they have a good July first and
Speaker 4: they get a goaltender done and Philly and Philly, how
Speaker 4: about if they how did they turn it around? You
Speaker 4: never know?
Speaker 3: What do you got?
Speaker 4: Why is this team making decisions for just one player?
Speaker 4: Of decisions are made for the team, no name on
Speaker 4: the submission and a great submission. If we find out
Speaker 4: that the Canucks signed Foot just for Quinn Hughes, it.
Speaker 3: Has to be part of it, though, does it.
Speaker 4: It has to be you gotta keep whether you like
Speaker 4: it or not. We have a franchise defenseman for the
Speaker 4: first time in over fifty.
Speaker 3: YEI that stop.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about boy, you've never used we before. Are
Speaker 1: you kidding me?
Speaker 4: The Canucks have a franchise defense for the first time
Speaker 4: in fifty years. You got to bend over backwards to try.
Speaker 3: And keep that guy, Donny, I said, pardon?
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 3: Kevin and Kelowna. If Foot brings us, Gavin McKenna, would
Speaker 3: you consider the season a success?
Speaker 4: Well, that kid's medicine at last night beats Polkane six nothing,
Speaker 4: Game three the Western Hockey League Final.
Speaker 3: Are you getting with Kevin's I'm getting at.
Speaker 4: Do you understand you have to go to the bottom
Speaker 4: of the third boom boom boom, so you want the
Speaker 4: Canucks at the.
Speaker 3: Bottom though they don't necessarily they can pull an island
Speaker 3: his situation.
Speaker 1: Can I say, after what happened to Utah the other
Speaker 1: night in the NBA Draft the lottery and they've never
Speaker 1: moved up. I think they've only moved down.
Speaker 3: That the conducts of the NBA.
Speaker 1: It drove home to me the Vancouver Canucks will never win.
Speaker 1: They could have the best odds and it would There's
Speaker 1: no way they are ever winning the draft lottery. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not happening. In my mind. It's bout that, Derek.
Speaker 3: It's not happening.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 3: But the point is if he's if he ends up
Speaker 3: being a poor choice, they played poorly, but they get Canna.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well have fun. You want the Canucks to go
Speaker 4: all the way down to thirty second.
Speaker 1: In the league.
Speaker 3: I'm a rebuilt guy.
Speaker 4: I know you are. If the coaches last season couldn't
Speaker 4: get Peedie going, it's going to be another waste of
Speaker 4: eleven put six for the next few years with Adam Foote.
Speaker 4: The definition of insanity is doing the same things over
Speaker 4: and over and over again. Caprice from Couch and Valley, Okay.
Speaker 1: Well, I just read what are you talking? I read?
Speaker 1: I read the submission.
Speaker 3: Right, I thought, maybe we're gonna build on it. No,
Speaker 3: David from Surrey, I'll give you this. I know behind here.
Speaker 3: This is a very good submission. Is it just me
Speaker 3: or didn't Edmonton hire Knoblock as a way to appease
Speaker 3: but David and that's that's worked up. Boy, Edmonton looks good.
Speaker 4: That was Zoi jel coach, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Speaker 4: with Eerie. Well Jeff Jackson there too, right, well, Jeff
Speaker 4: Jackson was his ag agent.
Speaker 3: Is yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, a break will wrap up
Speaker 3: the show. And what a show it's been. In the
Speaker 3: poll question next, Donian Delight the team. The Waddling Dog
Speaker 3: Pub has been owned and operated locally since nineteen ninety
Speaker 3: one and has since built its reputation as one of
Speaker 3: Victoria's favorite watering holes. With twenty TVs, twenty local and
Speaker 3: domestic taps, and over two hundred seats, The Wabbling Dog
Speaker 3: has something for everyone, including every Canucks game, UFC pay

Speaker 3: style furnishings and modern amenities, and only ten minutes from
Speaker 3: the airport and ferry terminal, there are countless reasons to come,
Speaker 3: sit and stay at the Waddling Dog. Rick Talcket in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: Adam Foot, head coach of the Vancouver Canucks Tom Vlander,
Speaker 3: a three year entry level contract with the Vancouver Hockey
Speaker 3: Club that leads to our waddling Dog poll question.
Speaker 1: Dog pull Rick all right, Ryan, get her up?
Speaker 4: The Waddling Dog pup pop question is Outam Foot The
Speaker 4: right chory, says the Canucks new head coach. Fifty eight
Speaker 4: percent say no, but forty two percent say yes, almost
Speaker 4: two thousand votes. It's top and it's pop and it's
Speaker 4: not stopping.
Speaker 1: Boy oh boy, but a lot of people don't like it. Donnie.
Speaker 3: I thought there would be more more negative reaction than this.
Speaker 3: I honestly did. I don't know his lady, but I
Speaker 3: thought it would be even more so. There's no shortage
Speaker 3: of people out there, relatively speaking, who feel the Canucks
Speaker 3: made the right choice.
Speaker 4: And Adam Foot, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, I'm surprised
Speaker 4: that so many people are saying no.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, we've got some time for is it just me Okay,
Speaker 3: Is it just me? New s Nick agree with this?
Speaker 3: Is it just maybe you guys need a three hour
Speaker 3: show with all the news that came out and Connak
Speaker 3: Glant today time to take some of Judge Judy's time.
Speaker 3: You don't even know what shouf. I thought it was
Speaker 3: Hot Bench that full of us? Or is it the
Speaker 3: news night Court? I think it's night Court, Night Court.
Speaker 3: It's not night Court.
Speaker 1: Night Court was good. I think Hot Bench is before us,
Speaker 1: Judge Judy is after us. I think we're surrounded by
Speaker 1: daytime judge shows. Yeah, I think I think so. I
Speaker 1: should really know that.
Speaker 3: All of them do way better than we do. What
Speaker 3: do you got?
Speaker 4: Look at this? Foot was the correct choice? Stability still
Speaker 4: overseas the defense. Hire Manny is an assistant, great move.
Speaker 4: Bradon Langley likes the move.
Speaker 3: No shortage of people who feel that the best move
Speaker 3: would to lock down Manny as your Abbotsford or your
Speaker 3: farm club's number one farm clubs them can coach for
Speaker 3: a significant period of time, but maybe other teams will
Speaker 3: be interested in hiring him. I would say is a
Speaker 3: hot commodity given habbits for success? Jeez from Surrey? Is
Speaker 3: it just me but not sure, who's happier today, Adam Foot?
Speaker 3: You guys, since the big news broke before the show
Speaker 3: versus after, We've talked a lot about that in that
Speaker 3: usually in the connection, we figured that they're out to
Speaker 3: get us, right, Oh that Uly when they break big news,
Speaker 3: it's after we're off the air.
Speaker 4: And this said the Landers signing Donnie that the two
Speaker 4: seconds later they announced that stop your whining. The Canucks
Speaker 4: signing Foot is to start. Jeremiah, Uh, it's a start.
Speaker 4: Maybe he thinks whoever that is that thinks would being
Speaker 4: too negative about.
Speaker 3: The positive start. Trevor and Ladner. Rick didn't know about
Speaker 3: the Vielanders signing because he hasn't read his tea leaves yet?
Speaker 3: What's that referred to?
Speaker 4: Because I told him to read the tea leaves Trevor,
Speaker 4: he texted us in okay, just okay. He said, oh,
Speaker 4: how do you know Hughes? They signed Foot for Hughes
Speaker 4: And I said, we'll read the tea leaves. So he
Speaker 4: came back with tea leaves at me any negative response? Yeah,
Speaker 4: and our shun and people email the worst and no
Speaker 4: chure the worst people text in he answers everything. We
