How are you? 18 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:57.280 It's Friday? 19 00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:03.119 It is Connects over the Sharks one in overtime, A 20 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.040 riveting a night of entertainment for VANKA hockey fans. 21 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.719 If you have trouble sleeping at night, put copy of 22 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.040 that in your video recorder and watch it. 23 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.920 If you still have a VCR. Yeah, yeah, not great 24 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:22.519 entertainment until late in the third period and certainly in overtime. 25 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.079 But man, this is what we love about sports. And 26 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.680 we talk of not that long ago when reality TV 27 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.840 became a thing. It's been around forever. It's called sports. 28 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.959 You just can't predict, and it is reality. You can't 29 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.079 predict what's gonna happen day to day. Well, sometimes you 30 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:45.280 can with the Canucks, but you know, I don't think 31 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.200 there's a person in this market, a person who follows 32 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.359 and cares about the Canucks who didn't think they were 33 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.319 dead and buried. And so now they're five to one 34 00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:56.799 and one in their last seven and some of those 35 00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.840 victories before they made the trades a week ago. Today 36 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.920 two points up on Calgary, both having played the same 37 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.599 amount of games. And then we talked about this earlier 38 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.039 in the week. They're one point behind LA. I know 39 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.800 LA has got three games in hand, one point behind 40 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.560 LA for third place in the Pacific Division. Nobody would 41 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:16.719 have guessed that even a week ago. 42 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.080 Another impressive stat, Donnie five out of six points without 43 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.800 Quinn Hughes. Hughes has missed three games and this is 44 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.280 your all Star, All World defenseman, and the Canucks have 45 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.840 done quite well without them. I know there's a couple 46 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.159 of week teams they've played, but they also beat Colorado, 47 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.879 a Western Conference powerhouse. So without Quinn Hughes, they're doing well. 48 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.400 Okay, let's get to the Holits and then we want 49 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.120 to focus on the guy that I thought was that 50 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:41.560 a lot of people thought was the start of the 51 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.680 game last night for the Canucks, a certain number thirty 52 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:50.319 five Derek, we're good, rock and roll SAP Center, San Jose, California, 53 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.360 and no score until midway through the third. Hughes sitter 54 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.919 left side, throws the puck towards that at tipped in 55 00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.439 by Dakota Joshua at the tail end of a power play. 56 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.280 One nothing Canucks. A little later, Sharks pressure Jake Walman 57 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.560 shot stop by Thatcher Dempko. Carl Grunstrom thought stop by 58 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.479 Thatcher Dempco. The back Letias looking just fine here, sticking 59 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.319 out the left leg and rapier like fashion stays one zip. 60 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.280 Minute and a half left. Goalie pulled, Philip he'll giveaway 61 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.120 and Tyler to Foley X Candock X everything. He takes 62 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.280 advantage after getting stopped twice by Dempko. One one, we're 63 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:30.159 going overtime. First minute of the extra stanza, Philip Heel 64 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.360 left side feeds Drew O'Connor, impeded by Macklin. Celebrini gets 65 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.960 a shot away. That stuff, But that's a penalty shot 66 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.639 and not just anley Penley shot a penalty shot on ot. 67 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.919 Check out what Drew O'Connor does sashe's to his left 68 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.319 ala JT. Miller taking his time shooting and scoring. It 69 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.919 wasn't pretty, but the Caddocks beat the thirty second place 70 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.960 Sharks two to one. Leaves in Vancouver Saturday, and then 71 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.479 it's the Four Nations freak wreck. 72 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.039 Yes, the maple Leafs in town though, which is always 73 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:04.919 a great game. But the game starts at four because 74 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.080 we have to move Heaven and Earth for our friends 75 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:07.599 in Toronto. 76 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:09.520 Over the years, I've become okay with that. 77 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:11.479 I don't like four o'clock starts. 78 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.400 I don't like the I don't like the reason for it, 79 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.680 because you know, Heaven and Earth has to be moved 80 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:21.680 for the Toronto maple Leafs and the broadcast companies back east. 81 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.279 But I don't mind the four o'clock starts because you know, 82 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.040 you get your day over with, or your entertainment over 83 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.639 with early and you still have the night ahead of you. 84 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.519 We'd be maybe a bigger deal if I was younger. 85 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.079 But you know who agrees with that is is Amar Doman. 86 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.360 Look at all those four o'clock starts with the BC Lions. 87 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.120 I don't like those four o'clock BC Lions. Why why 88 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.120 it's it's not it takes you out of your I 89 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.480 grew up with Lions, Canocks, white Caps all playing at seven, 90 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:50.759 seven thirty and the Canocks started at when in the 91 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.319 eight eight eight o'clock all. 92 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.120 Back in the seventies, for sure. I don't know about 93 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.120 the eighties, okay, And eight o'clock. 94 00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:57.360 Starts a little bit in the eighties they were at 95 00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.240 eight o'clock and you'd be out of the Pacific Colisseum 96 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.360 by ten twenty and home by eleven. 97 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.160 Yeah, And I think, I think I don't know why it's. 98 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:07.120 What you're shaking shaking his head right, because anything in 99 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:07.399 the air. 100 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.800 My theory is that back then, you know, people gathered 101 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:12.959 for dinner more so than they do now, and then 102 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.560 you went out a little bit later. I gotta be honest, 103 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.560 I'm becoming an old man because I absolutely hate the 104 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.360 poor seven thirty starts. Oh like they do in San 105 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:25.160 Jose in La. 106 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.279 Last night, and then on ot on top of it, 107 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:29.319 like the game's ending it after. 108 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.000 Ten becoming an old man. I'm like, what the hell 109 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.120 waiting all day for this game. Let's go, let's get 110 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.879 it over. I will say this like you and and 111 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.560 I'm an old man. I get that, you know, literally 112 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.439 and figuratively now, but you've become an old man way 113 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.319 sooner than I. Okay, it's just oh and we have 114 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:49.879 to prepare immature when out. 115 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.600 By the way, it's also not only Vancouver that's unhappy 116 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:54.920 about these. Did you see e Conomy David last Saturday? 117 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.879 Oh yeah, he squawked about the you know, and they're 118 00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:03.639 a five o'clock start. Yeah, yeah, right o'clock world. Yeah. 119 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.560 MC david said something about, yeah, you know, it's our building, 120 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.920 but we got to play it five hard time. Yeah, 121 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:10.959 So that was that was interesting because I thought it 122 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.240 was just a Vancouver thing that. 123 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.680 We kind of bitch about. But no best player in 124 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.480 the world. I'm laughing because I introduced Ryan to a 125 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.839 song by the Vogues which was in Good Morning Vietnam. 126 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.560 Called five o'clock a great movie. 127 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.639 Ron Williams and I've been I think it was in 128 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:27.800 that movie. I've been playing it all morning and he's 129 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:28.600 upset with me. 130 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.720 Now, the best was when you were playing it and 131 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.639 then also trying to give direction to Derek and I. 132 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.439 So you're one of these people that cranks music and 133 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.199 then yells over top of the music instead of just 134 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:40.439 not having the music on. 135 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.160 Either way much either way, neither of you listen to me. 136 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.600 That's true. Hence the yelling. That is true. Okay, Thatcher 137 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:54.480 damnco just outstanding. Rick. I've done some research on his numbers. Okay, 138 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.560 three and one in his last four, won twenty five 139 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.560 goals against the average in those game nine games one 140 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:06.360 or nine to five to three save percentage, and I 141 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.920 just you know, the the back problems, the back spasms, 142 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.439 the populatias. I put them all together. I call him 143 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.279 back Latius, and I thought, Okay, this season's are right 144 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:19.839 off for Thatcher Demko. But look what he's doing, and 145 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.240 forget the numbers. Just look at the saves he was 146 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.920 making last night. He was great, moving side to side, 147 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.439 no problem at all. And like I talk about a 148 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.680 lot when you know, earlier in the season you saw 149 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.680 him get up after a save and he kind of 150 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.519 struggled to get up. He's not doing that anymore, stretching 151 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.160 out to make saves. It's been very, very impressive for 152 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:38.639 the big guy. 153 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.720 Well, okay, so let's go two weeks ago. He started 154 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.360 four straight games, allowed sixteen goals and four straight games, 155 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.879 got lit up in Edmonton. What was his six goals 156 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.439 and the amount of he has done? Get rid of him? 157 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.560 Signed like you were there to stop? 158 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:55.639 I never I was not. 159 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.160 But this is what emotions go through on Canuck's Twitter. 160 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.759 If a guy goes to four bad games, get rid 161 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.360 of him. He's done, he's gone. Get rid of him. 162 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:04.160 Y'all do that? 163 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:08.560 Who It's not just Canucks' Twitter because why should we 164 00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:08.879 show it? 165 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.920 Yeah, okay, this is But in between listening to the 166 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.839 vogues and me yelling at Derek and Ryan, we've remembered 167 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.199 that we had a pull back on not that long ago, 168 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.959 way back January twenty seventh. January twenty seventh, so again 169 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.199 not that long ago. We've got the poll. Yeah, this 170 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.800 was our poll on that day, and this is lankoln 171 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.320 and coming off the win against the Capitals at home, 172 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.440 which was which was pretty impressive. Thirty two saves on 173 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.919 Saturday of the twenty fifth. So on the twenty seventh 174 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.559 of January, again not that long ago, our poll question 175 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.200 shipped Kevin start the majority of the Canucks remaining thirty 176 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.720 four games. I think I wanted to put in should 177 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.960 he start all they're remaining thirty four games? We went 178 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.120 with the majority, and just so you know that we're 179 00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.639 not the only ones who are negative once in a 180 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.360 while with the Canucks, especially you reckon. This was Dolly 181 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:03.960 Ball's question. 182 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.279 It was but what did I say? Ten month injury 183 00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:12.480 for a goaltender's masses? Oh, you don't see today ten 184 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.519 months who takes ten months off and comes back right away? 185 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:20.080 In form nobody, especially a goaltender. These guys have specified coaching. 186 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.159 You know, they have a goalie coach for crying out 187 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:25.679 loud anyways, give him time. What does that have to 188 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.879 do with this? It's a hard position. Do you see 189 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.639 the right wingers having a coach for only right wingers? 190 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.480 Well? Can I finish with the results here? For people 191 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:38.679 listening on our podcast, you can't see this graphic. Eighty 192 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:43.440 four percent of respondents said yes, and we were there 193 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.440 as well. Lankan. It has been very, very good. It 194 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.120 didn't look like Demko was going to recover in time, 195 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.120 or at least recover before the end of this season. 196 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.559 I get it, I get But now he just looks 197 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.159 so good. And you look at where the Canucks are 198 00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.519 the in the standings rising and what they've done the 199 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.840 last seven games, five to one and one, and again 200 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.080 some of those wins before the two big trades were made. 201 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.559 It's been pretty impressive. He's been very good. 202 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.679 Massive for the Canucks. And I'll tell you why. They're 203 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.320 not scoring anywhere near the cliff they did last year. Done, 204 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.440 So they're gonna have to win two one, three, two games. 205 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.600 And when your goaltendings like Dempko, and then you throw 206 00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:23.399 in Lincoln and they have a good one too, combo 207 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:25.399 right now and goal and the other one is how 208 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.879 Dempko plays will affect what the Canucks do with Lincoln 209 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.960 and done. If he returns to vezin a form the 210 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.440 Canucks don't have to overpay for a backup, they don't 211 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:36.559 have to go over four million for Lancon. It's going 212 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.559 to be fascinating how this plays out. 213 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.679 But do you not worry about Demko's health because there's 214 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:46.480 a history there durability, So maybe having somebody like lancoln 215 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.799 and who's a solid, dependable backup with the salary cap 216 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.399 going up, although Oel's penalty goes up as well. I 217 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.759 don't know. I think maybe a buck up, maybe more 218 00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:57.960 than you thought you would. 219 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:02.639 But Donnie, only the back spasms in Seattle was the 220 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:06.480 only time that Demko got hurt since his return, and 221 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.480 he was only out a couple of days. Right, So, 222 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.799 so far, durability wise, he's been okay, right. 223 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:17.320 But that this populatius seems it's just such a mysterious ailment. 224 00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:21.080 I wonder if they worry about that, because nobody seems 225 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.279 to know much about it. More of a soccer injury. 226 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:25.759 Rest season will tell us, don if he goes the 227 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.360 rest of the year without getting hurt. Your there's your answer. 228 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:33.440 Yeah, he looked absolutely fabulous. I think we have time 229 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:38.679 for this. Dree O'Connor last night on the first of all, 230 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.080 the penalty shot. And I shouldn't just say last night, 231 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.000 because he's been impressive since moment one with the Canucks, 232 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.480 big and fast. 233 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.639 Cheer, he's great go in front of the net. 234 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:53.960 But and again, that penalty shot last night, it was 235 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.320 so Miller esque. It looked exactly like what was Maybe 236 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:00.960 he got it out of maybe he was influence by J. T. Miller. 237 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.600 I'm not sure, but it was really really impressive, really 238 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:10.240 really confident looking. So they've got a quandary and other 239 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.919 problem on their hands when it comes to Drew O'Connor, 240 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:15.480 is the UFA in the summer. 241 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:17.759 That's not a tough deal. You can get him done 242 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.600 two three years deal around two million or under two million. 243 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:22.679 Do you think his price tag's not going up? 244 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.600 Well? Don They just got Marcus Patterson done after five days. 245 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.799 I'm sure they can get Drew O'Connor time done. If 246 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:30.759 the two sides like it, why not get it that? 247 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.960 And by the way, Drewe O'Connor has got a cardial 248 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:36.440 with Basot Motors, doesn't he Yeah, he's got a cardial 249 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.600 already already, Like, what is it with these penguins. Marcus 250 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.799 Patterson gets your five days new six year deal, O'Connor 251 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.759 gets your Basot Motors cardial. What's going on? Why are 252 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:47.159 these guys? 253 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.600 I think Marcus Patterson might be a little happier than that. 254 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.519 Is all the respect to our proud sponsor Basot Motors. 255 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.759 But Drew, actually, Drew O'Connor should be happier than he's 256 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.720 got a cardial good front to hear from from Drew. Yeah, 257 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:06.440 we have time. Okay, this is uh, well, we're gonna 258 00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:09.279 hear from Rick talk at a boat. Drew O'Connor coming 259 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.679 up here. But first of all, post game and Rick 260 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:17.159 Talckett will be in the back of this clip. Overtime 261 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:18.600 hero Drew O'Connor. 262 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.679 I thought we did a great job defending hard. You know, 263 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.240 we had a couple of big penalty kills. They got 264 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.039 the late one, but I don't think we let it 265 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.279 catch us off guard. We kind of responded well and 266 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:30.679 it was a big two points. 267 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.159 Yeah, obviously the speed, you know, he really adds a 268 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.759 lot to our team. You know, that was obviously a 269 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.679 big goal for us. But you know, just a really 270 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.080 culturable kid, you know, he he he wants to learn 271 00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:45.679 and just I know he's only been here a week, 272 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.000 two weeks, but he's just he's just a really good, 273 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:48.720 coachable kid. 274 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.720 There's supposed to be more to that clip. I think 275 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.320 I think I messed up. I was too busy listening 276 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.679 to the vogues, but I thought. 277 00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.559 It was Huey Lewis in the news. But anyways, because 278 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:00.519 they got this timeline. 279 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:02.919 There is so far on Dancing in the Dark playing 280 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.080 in the background of that Drew O'Connor clip. 281 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:08.039 Do you hear that Bruce Breesy? Yeah, which is a 282 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:10.159 great song by in the USA, great album. So that's 283 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:11.360 coming from the Canucks and locker room. 284 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.360 I'm surprised you said the Courtney Cox song. Yeah, yeah, 285 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:17.840 she rose to fame and yes she went on the 286 00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:21.759 stage with Bruce. Yeah. Yeah. Anything from the eighties.

Yep, 372 00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:33.400 so yeah, you're pretty quiet on heel today. 373 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.319 He set up drough A conner for the breakaway which 374 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:40.000 led to the to the shot. Yeah, and he maybe 375 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.519 you look for this, I'll be the first one to see. 376 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:45.319 Maybe Thomas agrees with me that he's overhanling the puck 377 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:49.559 a bit is ye, but impressive looking hockey players so far. 378 00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:53.000 Thomas Drantz joins us from the athletic Thomas, thanks for 379 00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:58.440 doing this, sir, How are you? Beard's looking good? Oh 380 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:04.839 he can't hear us? Right? No, can we hear him now? 381 00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:06.119 He just left the zoom? 382 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:07.160 Wow? 383 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.640 Yeah? Is he pouting? No? No, he just gave me 384 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:13.039 the I know you give it the figure to the ear. 385 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:18.559 I think that's the world sign that you can't hear. 386 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.119 Thank you for that. But look for this. We'll get 387 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.559 Thomas back here in a second with audio. But look 388 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:29.279 for this rick with Philip Heedel, especially at the blue line. 389 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:31.960 Maybe overhandling the puck when he should maybe dump it in. 390 00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:34.839 You don't want to take away his creativity. That first 391 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:37.599 game of his when I compared his debut to Palle 392 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.039 Beret's debut. As off as that might might have been, 393 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:44.839 I've still been very impressed by him. But overhandling the puck, 394 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:46.559 I think he's pretty excited to be where he is 395 00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:48.720 right now. Maybe that's that's all part of it. 396 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:51.079 His ice time's gone to twenty minutes. He was at 397 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.480 fourteen fifty minutes in New York. You don't think he's happy. 398 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:55.480 Don he needed a fresh change? 399 00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:58.839 We have? No? I think he's I think he's dealing 400 00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:00.000 with a battery issue at the. 401 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:04.039
