Speaker 4: How are you Lovely? Couldn't be better?
Speaker 1: Quite the preparation for today's confirmation that I'm getting really,
Speaker 1: really old. For one, we don't have to get into
Speaker 1: details about that. We're gonna talk about the cocks in
Speaker 1: a bit. But as has often been the case often
Speaker 1: be the case one day. But I want to talk
Speaker 1: about the Man Cup again. So Game three Man Cup
Speaker 1: on Monday not good news for the New Wes Salmon
Speaker 1: Bellies in a couple of ways. First of all, Six
Speaker 1: Nations crushed them nineteen to nine last night. The Belly's
Speaker 1: still up two games to one. Game four tonight obviously
Speaker 1: crucial Queen's Park Arena. It starts at seven thirty. And
Speaker 1: I don't want to say this was the only thing
Speaker 1: that happened. And you know, hats off to Six Nations
Speaker 1: for bouncing back in this series the way they did.
Speaker 1: But did you see this fight in the crowd last night?
Speaker 1: It's at Queen's Park?
Speaker 4: What's going on here? Old school, old school Ernie punch
Speaker 4: McLay New Wes Bruins used to see this all the time.
Speaker 1: Well, that was hockey and this is lacrosse. And not
Speaker 1: the first time something like this has happened at a
Speaker 1: sporting event. You've ever been involved in a fight in
Speaker 1: the crowd, little Ricky at a sporting event?
Speaker 4: You brought up BC place in the eighties. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 4: I Western Final Winnipeg. I saw a brawl in the
Speaker 4: end zone that was unbelievable.
Speaker 5: Donny.
Speaker 1: I saw a brawl at BC Place and look the
Speaker 1: Lions games when they were getting forty fifty thousand people
Speaker 1: in the in the eighties, infamous for people having too
Speaker 1: good of a time beer if you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: h beer exactly. I always remember being there and it
Speaker 1: was one of my first games when I first got
Speaker 1: the job at the sports page, and I saw these
Speaker 1: two people rolling down, you know, like a few sections away,
Speaker 1: rolling down the aisle, right, big brawl. I have my binoculars.
Speaker 1: It's a guy I went to high school with. Yes,
Speaker 1: serious Dan, Yeah, rolling out. Yeah. And then another time
Speaker 1: Roger's Arena Cannucks versus Leaves Trevor Henderson and I my
Speaker 1: camera mat from the sports pagecause he still works at Global.
Speaker 4: What's that five feet?
Speaker 1: He's not the tallest guy in the world. We saw
Speaker 1: a fight between a Lease fan and a Canucks fan
Speaker 1: that was an all timer and it ended with the
Speaker 1: Canuck fan headbudding the least fan down and out. It
Speaker 1: was nasty, but I can't say I've ever been involved
Speaker 1: in one.
Speaker 4: It's mostly alcohol related, yeah, yeah, well, but sometimes it's not.
Speaker 4: Yeah sometimes, but Ryan, if you show the footage again,
Speaker 4: like does anybody know what started this?
Speaker 1: Doney?
Speaker 4: Like I mean, what can Yeah?
Speaker 1: Alcohol?
Speaker 4: Okay, but what you know? I mean did somebody say
Speaker 4: something to someone?
Speaker 1: Like you know, no, they just randomly picked it, okay,
Speaker 1: don But I mean you know, maybe somebody said something
Speaker 1: to somebody.
Speaker 4: Is it the Six Nations fans against the Salmon Belly fans?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, you rarely see fans of the
Speaker 1: same team and that always happened.
Speaker 4: But yeah, you know, was at the game last night the.
Speaker 1: Ball guy. Okay, So game four tonight. Man Cup Bellies
Speaker 1: up two games to one on Six Nations and again
Speaker 1: it's been uh well, sixteen of the last seventeen Man
Speaker 1: Cups have been won by Eastern teams. So get a
Speaker 1: little scary.
Speaker 5: For the new bellies.
Speaker 4: Get got Canucks hockey.
Speaker 1: Jake Milford Monday at the North Few Golf Country Club.
Speaker 1: Looks like a good time was had by all. Jake
Speaker 1: debrask was going around and interviewing players. It looked like
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. The unofficial start to the Canuck
Speaker 1: season training camp starts on the eighteenth, Up and Pinticton.
Speaker 1: Start saving now and you'll be able to afford too.
Speaker 1: Practices and scrimmages. So today we're going to do this
Speaker 1: in a second, but we want to show the Canucks
Speaker 1: projected lineup. But yesterday several Canuck players were made available
Speaker 1: to the media, and as is off the case, the
Speaker 1: guy who had the most to say and just said
Speaker 1: things so eloquently was Tyler Myers. Great Interviews. Okay, this
Speaker 1: is what Tyler Myers had to say yesterday at the
Speaker 1: Milford about the connects acquiring an old friend and full
Speaker 1: of his Evander Kaine.
Speaker 5: I think Caterer's going to help us a lot.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 6: You know, he brings a lot to a.
Speaker 5: Group, you know, big power forward.
Speaker 6: You know the times that I've had with them when
Speaker 6: we were younger playing against him, you know, wasn't that fun?
Speaker 6: And you know, playing with them at World Juniors, things
Speaker 6: like World Juniors and and Worlds. I know what he
Speaker 6: can bring, and you know, I think he's exactly some
Speaker 6: of the things that we were lacking a little bit of.
Speaker 6: And uh, you know, I think he's going to step
Speaker 6: in into great for us.
Speaker 1: Tyler Myers and the mid two thousands playing for Kolowna,
Speaker 1: Evander Kaine with the Vancouver Giants faced each other on
Speaker 1: multiple okay, and as Tyler mantioned, they also played together
Speaker 1: on the Canadian junior team.
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward. Don you've seen what Kine's going to
Speaker 4: do here. Now do remember he didn't have a regular
Speaker 4: season last year because of injuries.
Speaker 1: Done?
Speaker 4: Okay, keep that in mind. But this guy's a playoff performer.
Speaker 4: Twenty six playoff goals in the last four years for
Speaker 4: the Edmonton Oidters, including thirteen and a.
Speaker 1: Year one when he went there six points.
Speaker 4: I believe, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And so you know, are
Speaker 4: the Canucks going to make the playoffs for Kine to
Speaker 4: have a big playoff I don't know, but I do
Speaker 4: know one thing. This guy's a UFA. A lot of
Speaker 4: people are projecting him twenty twenty five goals done. If
Speaker 4: he's going to get twenty twenty five goals, is there
Speaker 4: a centerman on the Canucks that's going to get him
Speaker 4: the puck to score twenty twenty five? That's the big one.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so let's look at it with that in mind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you make the good point before we get to
Speaker 1: the lineup board. You make the point about it Andrew
Speaker 1: Kine and people get excited because of his playoff performance.
Speaker 1: He tailed off a bit of the end last year,
Speaker 1: but sort of the rest of the Oilers his playoff
Speaker 1: performance over the last three seasons or so four seasons,
Speaker 1: but actually with the Oilers, but he didn't play a
Speaker 1: regular season game last year, so much like Thatcher Demco.
Speaker 1: So much of vander Kayne's success or non success going
Speaker 1: into the season will have to do with his health. Right.
Speaker 4: He's thirty four too, don He's not what we call
Speaker 4: it a spring chicken.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's thirty five, maybe rejuvenated being back in his hometown.
Speaker 1: He's thirty four.
Speaker 4: Tyler Myers is thirty three now, I think. So, you
Speaker 4: know there's some guys getting up there.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep. Okay, So let's take a look at the
Speaker 1: Canucks projected lineup board for their forwards going into this season.
Speaker 1: This is from Daily face Off, so we'll give them credit.
Speaker 1: I do have some issues with this, but Patterson on
Speaker 1: that first line with Debrasque and Besser, Heatl between Cain
Speaker 1: and Garland Rattu up from Abbotsford. Lolli did play games
Speaker 1: last year acrosse with the Canucks, between Hoglander and Sherwood,
Speaker 1: Blueger between Sassin and O'Connor, do you have any issues.
Speaker 4: I have issue with Caine. He should be starting out
Speaker 4: of the shoot with Peterson and Besser. You want Kine
Speaker 4: to be successful, well then you play them with the
Speaker 4: number one center Ratu. The most impressive thing that Abasberd
Speaker 4: did last year winning they called the Cup without him.
Speaker 4: He was hurt right and he needed six weeks to
Speaker 4: fix his injury. Went home at a good time. There
Speaker 4: rehabbit and all that stuff. But other than that, Sasan,
Speaker 4: I don't see Carlson there. I'm sorry, but Carlson was
Speaker 4: the MVP for ABSBURD. I think that guy's going to
Speaker 4: be their opening night. I don't know why he's not there, Donny.
Speaker 1: But Baines is another player from Abtsford that a lot
Speaker 1: of people might argue should be with the big team.
Speaker 4: Baines has got to decide are you going to be
Speaker 4: a good American Hockey League player? Are you going to
Speaker 4: be a good call up or you're going to be
Speaker 4: an NHL.
Speaker 1: You can say that about Sassin, you can say that.
Speaker 4: All these guys heavy. It is time to make the
Speaker 4: jump and not be and get sent back. It's time
Speaker 4: to going to Vancouver, grab a spot and stay all year.
Speaker 4: That's what they got to decide.
Speaker 1: Yeahs and adds something that the Canucks don't have a
Speaker 1: lot of, and that's speed. Carlson, uh one thing about
Speaker 1: him he plays heavy. He plays heavy. There's some grit there,
Speaker 1: there's some toughness there. He gets under the skin of
Speaker 1: the opponents. The Knucks don't have a lot of that.
Speaker 1: They could use both those guys. Guys to be honest,
Speaker 1: rat Wu's a face off guy. They need that. And
Speaker 1: then the other. I'm with you here, I don't Petterson
Speaker 1: with debrask Invesser, you know, not fast enough for me
Speaker 1: for a first line, Not that Kane is a speedster,
Speaker 1: but also that first line as we see it there,
Speaker 1: to me not enough. And I know the numbers are
Speaker 1: there with Debrusk investor goal wise, but to get a
Speaker 1: little more toughness in there. Yeah, I think you're banging
Speaker 1: on with Kane with with Petterson.
Speaker 4: Kane's got to start with Petterson, load up the first line.
Speaker 1: And this is nothing against anybody. I think it's just
Speaker 1: a better fit.
Speaker 4: What if Quinn you say with Ian mcinturyre last week
Speaker 4: he said we're not going to be the most skilled
Speaker 4: bunch this team might have problem scoring goals, Donny. They
Speaker 4: might have problems scoring goals, that's the bottom line. No,
Speaker 4: they will, Yeah, they will. The way this is constructed
Speaker 4: right now, they're going to have issues scoring goals this year.
Speaker 1: I look at this forward group and we don't. We
Speaker 1: hope to have to focus on their blue line group
Speaker 1: later this week and their goaltending. But I look at
Speaker 1: this and if Thatcher Damco can stay healthy, this reminds me.
Speaker 1: And I said this yesterday on Sports at six fifty.
Speaker 1: I know you were listening, you know, with Sat and
Speaker 1: Dan yesterday, but it reminds me a bit of six
Speaker 1: oh seven when the Canucks had Lauongo for the first
Speaker 1: season and they acquired Willie Mitchell and they've focused that
Speaker 1: season was defensive goal tending, and it's gonna it's I
Speaker 1: look at this forward group and again nothing against anybody,
Speaker 1: but there's not a lot of depth there. And with
Speaker 1: Adam Foote coaching, who handled the blue line the last
Speaker 1: couple of years, multiple years, they're going to have to
Speaker 1: focus on team defense in a big, big way, absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know, and so much depends on Damko's return to health.
Speaker 1: And as I stayed as I stay at the obvious.
Speaker 1: But if they think they're gonna outscore people, they're dreaming looking.
Speaker 4: It depends on Petterson if he can return to the
Speaker 4: one hundred point guy, don Hey, this things could be
Speaker 4: a whole lot better. It can be a whole lot
Speaker 4: better if he returns to the one hundred and two
Speaker 4: point Petterson. We know.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other thing when when I look at this
Speaker 1: group is uh, and I'm I'm paraphrasing here, but didn't
Speaker 1: your Muther but say there was gonna be three trades
Speaker 1: and they were, they were, they were going to improve.
Speaker 4: They tried, don they tried. I heard Patrick Alvin in
Speaker 4: August was a little bit frustrated. He couldn't find any
Speaker 4: dance partners. He was looking for the two line center.
Speaker 4: They went after Rossie, they didn't get close. They went
Speaker 4: after Roslevic. Then they decided to back off. They you know,
Speaker 4: Mason McTavish, they would love to get in Vancouver, but
Speaker 4: he's too pricey. Mason McTavish, if you can, if you
Speaker 4: don't got the assets to get Rossie, how the hell
Speaker 4: are you gonna get Mason McTavish, Like, I mean, come on,
Speaker 4: they don't have the assets. They don't have the draft capital.
Speaker 4: They don't have a third run pick this year, don't
Speaker 4: have a second run pick next. Other than that, they
Speaker 4: don't have salary cap. They got three point two million. Hey,
Speaker 4: look if another if the Canucks had a second line
Speaker 4: center and some other team asks the Canucks for a
Speaker 4: second line center, the Canucks would ask for an arm
Speaker 4: and a leg in return. There there are second line
Speaker 4: centers are expensive. Nobody wants to give him away, and
Speaker 4: the Canucks are finding this The reason gave one away,
Speaker 4: the reason they're in this mess because they traded Horvat
Speaker 4: and Miller and got two top four defenseman back, but
Speaker 4: they never got a scud centerman back, and that's why
Speaker 4: they're struggling.
Speaker 1: No, No, the focus of their team, the strength their team,
Speaker 1: clearly the blue line. Yes, and if he stays healthy,
Speaker 1: the Goltenning.
Speaker 4: Goltending, I'm super excited about the Goltending. Lancoln is the
Speaker 4: highest paid backup the Canucks have ever had. And because
Speaker 4: you're given four point five million to the back, you
Speaker 4: don't have to overplay Demco. He doesn't have to play
Speaker 4: sixty four games anymore. He doesn't have to play fifty
Speaker 4: five or sixty. You can rest him now and get
Speaker 4: through the year without injuries.
Speaker 1: This or we'll focus on the forward group as part
Speaker 1: of our poll question and we'll introduce that in the
Speaker 1: third segment. Here's what else is coming up on the show.
Speaker 1: DTMZ is just me in the eleven o'clock Are we go?
Speaker 1: The birthday is ready for today?
Speaker 4: Well birthdays are ready?
Speaker 1: Yeah, not right now, but you don't win, DTMZ. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll have him ready. That comes around. Just got a printer, yes, okay.
Speaker 1: Craig Button is going to join us just after eleven o'clock.
Speaker 1: We talked about this a lot with Craig. But Craig
Speaker 1: spent much of his childhood at least his teenage years
Speaker 1: in Montreal in the seventies. When you know who was
Speaker 1: in goal for the Montreal Canadians, riling off individual awards
Speaker 1: and Stanley Cups, the late great Ken Dryden, who left
Speaker 1: us on the weekend. We'll talk with Craig about that,
Speaker 1: among other things involving the national hockey like Big Ride,
Speaker 1: the Twitter guy coming up later this hour and up next,
Speaker 1: And I know you were looking forward to this all week.
Speaker 1: Your buddy Ross Tucker from the Ross Tucker Football Podcast
Speaker 1: Westwood One and CBS Sports. He worked the Cowboys Eagles
Speaker 1: game on Thursday night, and of course he's a Pennsylvania guy,
Speaker 1: focuses on the Eagles, loves Eagle. He had some things
Speaker 1: to say about Jalen Carter and the spit. We taped
Speaker 1: this interview with Ross Jalen Carter in the spitting incident,
Speaker 1: and BOYD does he have some things to say about
Speaker 1: what happened? I mean the Ravens Bills great game, awesome,
Speaker 1: but also what happened with Lamar Jackson getting physical with
Speaker 1: a fan in Buffalo. Russell has some things to say
Speaker 1: about that. After what was just a tremendous Week one
Speaker 1: in the National Football League again, Matt Cup Game four
Speaker 1: tonight Queen's Park Arena bellies up two games to one
Speaker 1: on six Nations. Thanks for tuning in, folks. Donnie Ross's next,
Speaker 1: Donnie Dall The team one check.
Speaker 4: Dolly.
Speaker 3: The team is supported by Abeleauctions dot CA. Closing your business,
Speaker 3: we can help.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. All today's guests on this Tuesday,
Speaker 1: including Ross Tucker standing by brought to you by Able Auctions,
Speaker 1: Able Auctions dotc A. What a week one it was
Speaker 1: in the National Football League and here to talk about
Speaker 1: that in all matters football, our friend Ross Tucker from
Speaker 1: the Ross Tucker Football Podcast, CBS Sports and Westwood One. Ross,
Speaker 1: I hope you had a great summer. How are you, sir?
Speaker 7: I did, had a fantastic summer. I love ableauctions dot CA.
Speaker 7: It's good to see you guys. Good to talk with you.
Speaker 1: What was the highlight of the summer for you?
Speaker 7: Ooh, good question. That would be too tough to choose
Speaker 7: between them. I'm a big Jersey shore guy, so the
Speaker 7: New Jersey Shore and going most weekends is my favorite thing.
Speaker 7: But we also took a family vacation to Africa, oh,
Speaker 7: which is once in a lifetime experience, which is very
Speaker 7: very cool to see all those animals and do the
Speaker 7: Safari thing.
Speaker 5: So those are the two highlights.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got a cousin guy going to Africa next
Speaker 1: month as a matter of fact. Okay, Ross Football.
Speaker 4: Last night, Monday Night Football, Vikings come back.
Speaker 1: They beat the Bears. What did you think of Caleb
Speaker 1: Williams start and JJ McCarthy's finish.
Speaker 7: Well, I think it's very important, first of all that
Speaker 7: we all come to conclusions on these two young quarterbacks
Speaker 7: immediately today, right, I mean, I think we can all
Speaker 7: determine what their future will be forever.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 7: You know what, it's another good lesson for being careful
Speaker 7: what you post during the because you gotta let it
Speaker 7: play out. You know, Caleb Williams did some really positive
Speaker 7: things on that first drive. I feel like maybe the
Speaker 7: best thing he does is throw the ball on the
Speaker 7: move with velocity. It's super impressive. And then you know,
Speaker 7: the other part of that is I thought he looked
Speaker 7: faster than he had in quite some time. I mean,
Speaker 7: he went over twenty miles an hour on the GPS.
Speaker 7: That was impressive. And then McCarthy, I mean, for three
Speaker 7: quarters it looked like he was overwhelmed. It looked like
Speaker 7: the game was too fast for him. And then for
Speaker 7: him to ultimately be able to perform the way he
Speaker 7: did super super impressive. I mean on the road back
Speaker 7: in his hometown. You know, you can see why he
Speaker 7: was able to win the national championship. He just has
Speaker 7: I don't know if I'm gonna say it, I don't
Speaker 7: know if I'm gonna that far, but he definitely has a
Speaker 7: way about him that enables him to perform his best
Speaker 7: when when it really comes down to crunch, which is
Speaker 7: obviously a great, great trait to have.
Speaker 4: Ross the bills. In the Ravens bails down by fifteen
Speaker 4: with seven minutes to go, a lot of people left
Speaker 4: the stadium. Did you believe that Josh Allen could do
Speaker 4: what he did?
Speaker 7: I would say, I don't ever disbelieve in Josh Allen.
Speaker 7: I mean, I've been around the guy a bunch. At
Speaker 7: this point, he's almost like too good to be true. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you know, you know, first of all, he has like
Speaker 7: every positive trait you would want in a quarterback, you know, big, strong, athletic, accurate,
Speaker 7: great arm, all those things.
Speaker 5: But just an awesome guy, you know.
Speaker 7: I mean he's like a gem of a guy, great
Speaker 7: looking kid. You know, He's exactly what you would.
Speaker 5: Want in a franchise quarterback.
Speaker 7: And so I don't put you know, the combination of
Speaker 7: Josh being who he is and the issues that the
Speaker 7: Ravens have had closing out games, that's I think a
Speaker 7: really good reason.
Speaker 5: Why nobody should have given up on the game.
Speaker 7: And I think it bothered Josh Adam a little bit.
Speaker 7: He mentioned it. Now, they had a bunch of good
Speaker 7: things happen, right, I mean, you have the tip tip
Speaker 7: fall that gets the touchdown. Derrick Henry, who never fumbles fumbles.
Speaker 7: I mean, they had a bunch of good fortune, but
Speaker 7: you also have to take advantage of that good fortune,
Speaker 7: and they did.
Speaker 4: Hey, I want to talk to you about the spitting
Speaker 4: incident Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter. I know you wouldn't
Speaker 4: do something like that. How disappointed were you? And Carter
Speaker 4: ross very.
Speaker 7: You know what's funny about that. By the way, I
Speaker 7: haven't really talked about this anywhere else.
Speaker 5: Wow. I had two guys spit in my face.
Speaker 1: Wow, while I was.
Speaker 7: A player in two thousand and four, the two Ohio teams.
Speaker 5: One guy from the Browns, one guy from the Bengals.
Speaker 7: I won't say their names. They've moved on with their life.
Speaker 7: I moved on with mine. The one guy I think
Speaker 7: had serious issues and I was worried gonna try to
Speaker 7: kill me. The other guy, I kept yelling at Marvin Lewis,
Speaker 7: the Bengals head coach, to get him back out in
Speaker 7: the field because I wanted to try to kill him
Speaker 7: after he did it.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I guess neither one of those got called
Speaker 5: on video.
Speaker 7: You know, they were not the opening night game with
Speaker 7: sixty cameras.
Speaker 5: Nobody got ejected.
Speaker 7: I don't think the ref saw it, but it is
Speaker 7: interesting to think about that.
Speaker 5: It's a horrible thing.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 7: The biggest thing is forget even just the act of spitting.
Speaker 7: It's just the stupidity for jay Len Carter to do
Speaker 7: that right in front of an official, and he hurt
Speaker 7: his team badly, very easily could have been a major
Speaker 7: factor and why they lost the game. I mean, if
Speaker 7: Ceedee Lamb catches those passes, they probably do lose the game.
Speaker 7: And so, you know, think about how badly Carter would feel.
Speaker 7: You already felt bad, but think about about how badd
Speaker 7: he would have felt if they lost the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, Ross, you played for the Cowboys. One of
Speaker 1: my highlights of the summer. I didn't get around like
Speaker 1: you did. But was watching that Cowboys documentary on Netflix.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it. If you did,
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that documentary and did it bring back
Speaker 1: memories for you?
Speaker 7: Say that word again, Donnie, documentary documentary documentary?
Speaker 1: Am I being too Canadian for you? No?
Speaker 5: No, I think that's pretty good.
Speaker 7: Actually, So in the United States we may get documentary,
Speaker 7: we make it four syllables when it's really five. So
Speaker 7: we just say documentary like it's document ry, you know
Speaker 7: what I mean, like documentary. But my brother in law
Speaker 7: is from upstate New York and he would say documentary.
Speaker 7: And that's not right either. You guys actually have that
Speaker 7: one right, Donnie. You're the only one that actually says
Speaker 7: that word correctly. So congre or Rick couldn't even do
Speaker 7: it to be tried, Rick, how do you say it documentary?
Speaker 1: We'll call it doc doctor doc Cowboys doc.
Speaker 5: Rick just said it like I say it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, documentary not.
Speaker 7: The way you should say it. But at any rate,
Speaker 7: I have not watched it. I would like to watch it.
Speaker 7: The only things I like to watch are documentaries because
Speaker 7: I'm just I don't really care about fiction way. I'm
Speaker 7: way more into interesting things that actually happened. That's called nonfiction. Rick, Yes,
Speaker 7: and so I would love to watch it, But no,
Speaker 7: I didn't. I lived it a little bit in the
Speaker 7: sense that I started seving games for the Cowboys and
Speaker 7: Jerry Jones is my owner in two and then three
Speaker 7: until Parcels cut me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's outstanding. Maybe when you have some more time
Speaker 1: in the offseason you can check it out. Hey, we
Speaker 1: talked about spinning and you were involved in a couple
Speaker 1: of spinning incidents. Back to that Ravens Bills game, Lamar
Speaker 1: Jacks getting physical with a fan. Did that ever happen
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 7: No, But I have a very strong opinion on that, okay,
Speaker 7: which is.
Speaker 5: Choosing words carefully here.
Speaker 7: I think it's probably a net positive for society if
Speaker 7: once every five to ten years a fan that oversteps
Speaker 7: receives some immediate physical affirmation that they overstepped. It's probably
Speaker 7: the most politically correct way I could say that. It
Speaker 7: wouldn't be terrible if on TV once every few years
Speaker 7: a fan doing something stupid got punched in the face.
Speaker 7: Like I can't even I can't even comprehend what possesses
Speaker 7: someone to do that in the first place. But then secondly,
Speaker 7: it's like, do you realize who those guys are on
Speaker 7: the field, and you realize the adrenaline that they have
Speaker 7: and the environment that they're in when they're inside those
Speaker 7: white lines.
Speaker 5: That is like the.
Speaker 7: Roman Gladiators, right, and nobody's gonna die, hopefully, but they're
Speaker 7: really trying to inflict as much punishment as possible. And
Speaker 7: you think it's a good idea to physically shove one
Speaker 7: of them in the head.
Speaker 5: I think that that young.
Speaker 7: Man got off really easy with a two hands shoved
Speaker 7: from Lamar could have been way way.
Speaker 5: Way, way, way, way way worse.
Speaker 1: And he's been banned from the NFL games with the foreseeable.
Speaker 7: And I'm glad that that got out, and everybody needs
Speaker 7: to know that that's probably the more sophisticated way to
Speaker 7: handle it is to just make sure you spread the word.
Speaker 5: But a lot of people won't hear that part. A
Speaker 5: lot of people would have.
Speaker 7: Seen it if an offensive lineman had smoked him in
Speaker 7: the face in front of everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not alone in that opinion. As you know, Hey, Ross,
Speaker 1: my front page, what do you got?
Speaker 5: Well, listen.

Speaker 1: Waddling Dog poll question experience one of Victoria's iconic destinations, sleep, sip,
Speaker 1: and stock up, all in one legendary spot. Come sit
Speaker 1: and stay at the dog today, Rick Ryan, get her
Speaker 1: up the waddling Dog poll question. I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: pub what will be the biggest issue with the Canucks
Speaker 1: forward group this season? Lack of center depth, lack of speed, grit, toughness.
Speaker 1: They'll be fine seventy three percent this this one right there, Donnie,
Speaker 1: look the lack of center depth.
Speaker 4: Everybody in the city, media fans, I think it's it's
Speaker 4: It's quite obvious that this team had Miller, Patterson, Hervet
Speaker 4: Horvat up the middle of the ice, and even the
Speaker 4: year they went they had the good year, they had
Speaker 4: Lindahm here. Isn't it a coincidence that every time they're
Speaker 4: good they have three great centers up the middle. And
Speaker 4: remember Lindahlm was here and the Lindham you know, helped them.
Speaker 1: Get light it up.
Speaker 4: But he's better in the playoffs. But he was good
Speaker 4: in the playoffs and so you know what. I'm sorry, folks,
Speaker 4: but losing JT. Miller last year, this is why they're
Speaker 4: in the mess they are.
Speaker 1: Weren't you all for that?
Speaker 4: Stop it? JT Miller. They lost their heart and soul.
Speaker 4: They lost a heart and soul. Guy, are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: You don't think that the Caducks would want JT. Miller back?
Speaker 1: They want him back in a harpy, I want to
Speaker 1: read this from Ian in Victoria in our in our
Speaker 1: inbox the Bayside Ocean Front Resort inbox, by the way,
Speaker 1: changed sponsors around here, Ian in VICTORYA. It's funny listening
Speaker 1: to you guys freak out about a second line center
Speaker 1: as if that is a make or break position. It
Speaker 1: is after goaltending defense, first line players, scrowing wingers. I
Speaker 1: am glad they are not selling the farm for some
Speaker 1: player who is marginally better than hetel Ian and Victoria.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess there's a lot of people who would
Speaker 1: agree with Ian, like if you get Roslovic or Rossi,
Speaker 1: which they're not, you reach free up in Minnesota. But
Speaker 1: let's say that it happened. How much better are those
Speaker 1: players going to be and you've given something up for them,
Speaker 1: whether it be a big contract or players. You give
Speaker 1: something up for them, and they're not much better than
Speaker 1: than Filipido. I agree with I agree with Ian.
Speaker 4: I'm not with Ian, and I'll tell you why. Two
Speaker 4: years ago when the Canucks went around to the playoffs,
Speaker 4: Patterson and Miller had close to two hundred points, two
Speaker 4: hundred points done, two hundred combined.
Speaker 1: But Ian makes the point that it's not you're not
Speaker 1: gonna get JT. Millerbeck, You're gonna get somebody who may
Speaker 1: be marginally better than than then. I was gonna say
Speaker 1: marginally better than Ian and Victoria I would hope, so
Speaker 1: marginally better than Hetel. And here's the other.
Speaker 4: Really concerning point for me is they don't have a
Speaker 4: young stud in Davisburg Center. They don't have a young
Speaker 4: stud forward that's ready to jump in and and and
Speaker 4: he's twenty one, twenty two, twenty three.
Speaker 1: It's it's concerning eh Rat too. Ryan.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about a guy, a difference maker, you know,
Speaker 4: like Ryan Kester when he was drafted, he went to Manitoba,
Speaker 4: came in boom, difference maker. Okay, we don't have that
Speaker 4: type of guy. What about the CAAC They don't have
Speaker 4: any You know why they don't have any? No, no, what
Speaker 4: I'm saying he said, stut forward. Eh, Lakara Kara La Karamackie.
Speaker 4: Could be, it could be, but they're waiting for physical
Speaker 4: maturity on him upper body, right, And what really hurt
Speaker 4: the Calder Cup young kids is the run. So they
Speaker 4: didn't have a great offseason to put on the necessary
Speaker 4: weight and muscle that Peterson did because Canucks didn't make
Speaker 4: the playoffs. But those kids, especially La Karamackie, who said
Speaker 4: he ate and ate and ate trying to put the
Speaker 4: you know, and was gonna see did he work out
Speaker 4: of like the sports media guys ate Nate Nate. But listen,
Speaker 4: what was eating, Donnie? What do I look like Lakara
Speaker 4: Mackie's chef. I don't know what he was eating?
Speaker 9: Rich Why he gave a quote to for the off season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was the kidding around and hopefully ate the
Speaker 1: right foods.
Speaker 4: There are kids in bantam hockey and you know this,
Speaker 4: who are eating right? Who are you know?
Speaker 1: Never mind, you don't think Lakara Mackie is gonna eat right?
Speaker 1: Of course he is.
Speaker 4: But what I'm trying to say to you is he
Speaker 4: didn't have a large window to put on the muscle
Speaker 4: that he needs because they want to.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody is gonna be the answer,
Speaker 1: like anybody up from Avatford is going to be the answer.
Speaker 1: Let's focus on that second line at center position. Although
Speaker 1: when you talk about a top six forward, there could
Speaker 1: be an answer out there. I'll throw this name out there,
Speaker 1: Gavin McKenna.
Speaker 9: Oh man, what would we We can't do this? What
Speaker 9: the retails he can't do that? We can not doelling.
Speaker 1: Me you tell me no, Hold on a second here,
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm impressed with their blue line and if helped,
Speaker 1: maybe they can squeak into a playoffs pan. I guess
Speaker 1: that would be another year of wallowing in the sea
Speaker 1: of mediocrity? Are you telling people? Telling me people in
Speaker 1: this town would be and I know that they have
Speaker 1: to go through a lottery process. More excited about wallowing
Speaker 1: in that sea of mediocrity or the possibility of grabbing
Speaker 1: a once in a lifetime player like Gavin McKenna.
Speaker 4: Okay, close, Okay, So at Christmas time did have to
Speaker 4: be down at the bottom of the standings and then
Speaker 4: you could say you can kiss goodbye to Quinn Hughes
Speaker 4: and you can kiss goodbye to Jim Rutherford. You think
Speaker 4: Jim at his age is going to stick around for
Speaker 4: a rebuil.
Speaker 1: I'd be more concio Quinn Hughes than Jim rothfo.
Speaker 4: Wow, Okay, but I'm just saying, well, yeah, but what's
Speaker 4: the path to them bottoming out?
Speaker 1: Anyway?
Speaker 9: You just re signed Bestard Literally, he hasn't played a
Speaker 9: game under that contract. Patterson what seven years? Like Dempco like, look,
Speaker 9: look at all these contract extensions. I don't necessarily disagree
Speaker 9: because Patterson extension is a mistake.
Speaker 1: I think they are.
Speaker 9: Stuck in the mud a little bit like I think
Speaker 9: they might be in that mushy middle regardless, but the
Speaker 9: moves that they've made now.
Speaker 1: Tells you they're nowhere near that. Plus the other thing
Speaker 1: is done. That's that doesn't mean right.
Speaker 9: Let's be honest. They could finish dead last. You know,
Speaker 9: they win the lottery.
Speaker 1: Okay, to be.
Speaker 4: Honest, Hey, you're stealing my lines here, but yes, you're right.
Speaker 1: I know. I don't know how far you can follow
Speaker 1: in the lottery.
Speaker 9: Whatever the max is, they would, Yes, they would do that.
Speaker 1: You're you're right there.
Speaker 4: They did everything in the off season, try and get better,
Speaker 4: not worse. They never met everything in the sea. They
Speaker 4: tried to do everything. They never said, oh, we're going
Speaker 4: for Gavin McKenna, by the way, who used to be
Speaker 4: in medicine at I feel really sorry for the Tigers
Speaker 4: to lose that kid and Victoria Victoria Royals lost to
Speaker 4: the first off. I mean, my goodness, veer Hoffe's gonna
Speaker 4: go second. Overall, really feel for these dub clubs. But listen,
Speaker 4: uh nowhere have you heard anyone in Vancouver say we're
Speaker 4: going for Gavin McKenna.
Speaker 1: Well, they're not gonna say that.
Speaker 4: Some teams are gonna obvious. They're gonna might go.
Speaker 9: To with a team that's obvious to me is Pittsburgh Maybe.
Speaker 1: When it comes how many years is Quinn? He's got
Speaker 1: left in his contract too, too right.
Speaker 4: But they could talk to him this July first coming up.
Speaker 1: Okay, but let's just say this is just buying the
Speaker 1: sky for me. Let's just say they do bottom out,
Speaker 1: they get they they they win the lottery. Just the
Speaker 1: miracle of miracles, they get Gavin McKennon. Tell me quin
Speaker 1: he isn't sticking around, No, he's not, because you're what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Of course he is.
Speaker 4: You are at the bottom of the standings. Don If
Speaker 4: you're getting Gavin McKenna bottom thirty second out of thirty
Speaker 4: two teams, how are you gonna move up from thirty
Speaker 4: to be some hope something different?
Speaker 9: What if they what if they miss though and jump off?
Speaker 4: Hey, I got you thinking, although I could see that
Speaker 4: look on your face, like.
Speaker 9: So if they would have to be white cause you
Speaker 9: gonna only move ten spots.
Speaker 1: You can't.
Speaker 9: We're already doing this with the draft like this the Islanders. Yeah,
Speaker 9: so as I'm saying, so they if they finished a
Speaker 9: eleventh they could move up to one. Right theoretically, even
Speaker 9: though it's zero point three percent or whatever, it is,
Speaker 9: sure right, so maybe they could do that, I guess.
Speaker 1: Technically, or just finished dead last.
Speaker 9: By the way, just quickly, because we didn't talk about
Speaker 9: this enough. The more I hear and read about Matthew Schaeffer,
Speaker 9: because you just brought up the Islanders. What an amazing story.
Speaker 9: That great, I know, it's complete right turn and the
Speaker 9: billing mom too, Yeah, I know, and like the story
Speaker 9: of people who don't know both of them passed passed away.
Speaker 9: The sports that did a heart wrenching story on him
Speaker 9: the first overall pick just what.
Speaker 1: You don't have to see that story. All you have
Speaker 1: to see is him getting drafted. Yeah, the emotion he
Speaker 1: showed when he put the Islanders jersey on. But very
Speaker 1: well spoken and he seems to be a stud I
Speaker 1: think they got a good one. Their first class kid,
Speaker 1: first class. We got time for this board. You don't
Speaker 1: want to save it for this quote the tweet.
Speaker 9: Let's do able and then we'll do tweeting Big Brye.
Speaker 1: How about that? People have no idea what you just
Speaker 1: said said there, and I know I'm going to get
Speaker 1: the Don's losing it. And if you saw, if you
Speaker 1: were here for this, for the preparation of this show,
Speaker 1: you'd realize just how much I am losing it. With
Speaker 1: the rebuilt talk would stop. I wouldn't be.
Speaker 4: Exciting since twenty is better, right, this is better right now?
Speaker 4: So the last ten years of nothing but losing, you
Speaker 4: want another seven years and nothing but losing? Come on, Don?
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, but what what can you sell in the
Speaker 1: world of sports? What can you hope? There you go
Speaker 1: wins or hope?
Speaker 4: How's that going in Buffalo where they've missed the playoffs
Speaker 4: fourteen years in a row. If that is the thing,
Speaker 4: how's it going in Buffalo? They are going there.
Speaker 9: Right, Hey, look at hey, Chicago's going to prove me
Speaker 9: something too, right. I mean, how many years now have
Speaker 9: Chicago been down in the dumps? They've got badarred obvious.
Speaker 4: Oh they're gonna be good. Just all.
Speaker 1: They also drafted if you want to look back a
Speaker 1: few years, Jonathan Tave's generation first overall and they got
Speaker 1: themselves three Stanley Cups about a six years.
Speaker 9: I never but Donny think about how dark this franchise
Speaker 9: has been, and they still wouldn't go that route. It's
Speaker 9: just not going to happen.
Speaker 1: That doesn't. Trance brings it up all the time. Look
Speaker 1: at times running out for me, they've tried everything.
Speaker 4: So why do you want to rebuild?
Speaker 1: Because why do you want to rebuild? Because it would
Speaker 1: you know what you want ten.
Speaker 4: More years of crap hockey?
Speaker 1: Rick? What if they committed to a rebuild? You know,
Speaker 1: right when when Benning took over, Trevor, well, they didn't know,
Speaker 1: but that way didn't work for the common denominator.
Speaker 9: Now and then it's the owner. Trevor said, rebuild.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean it's not right. You're right, it's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. This is you're not as smart as I am.
Speaker 9: This is a new record for US, day two into
Speaker 9: a new season.
Speaker 4: If you want to rebuild, when Trevor said rebuild, they
Speaker 4: wouldn't be in this mess today.
Speaker 10: You probably you agree with me. Then you go Trevor.
Speaker 10: Trevor was right bang on. So what lessons did you learn?
Speaker 10: Let's just keep doing the same thing over and over.
Speaker 10: That's what they wanted. In fact, let's do it work.
Speaker 10: Let's get rid of J. T.
Speaker 11: Miller.
Speaker 4: Let's the owner, got to play the GM.
Speaker 1: Let's do something worse. What are we doing here? The
Speaker 1: lake House Home Store is a high end kitchen and
Speaker 1: lifestyle store. It's in receivership. Oh like the Canucks, well aren't.

Speaker 1: A hip swing? How could it be a chair that
Speaker 1: you'd see in an Austin Powers movie? You know what?
Speaker 9: I bet one of these is you know those pieces
Speaker 9: of art that look like something you should sit on
Speaker 9: or whatever that people have.

Speaker 9: time to both Nina and myself for the first time,
Speaker 9: he did the well you know in Europe, you euro shamed.
Speaker 9: And the funny any thing is if we were running

Speaker 1: Them, And now you are one. Ah and you did it.
Speaker 1: Danina and I this morning. Have them been to Europe?

Speaker 1: We are gonna get to all. We're gonna get to
Speaker 1: all the photos. This week we got the ton.
Speaker 4: This is your good power.
Speaker 1: Well, this is two of our good palace jef S
Speaker 1: tough with the Joe effort. Okay, get Dutch.
Speaker 4: This is our good pala On the left is Reied Mitchell,
Speaker 4: the head scout of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Used to
Speaker 4: be with the Canucks in the nineties and then he
Speaker 4: went to Toronto and Pat Quinn got him into hockey ops.
Speaker 4: And this is one of our great friends, read Mitchell.
Speaker 4: I love this guy, I really do. This is at
Speaker 4: the Minto Cup, Donny, where was it in Ontario a
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago? And that's k Man, big huge
Speaker 4: Lines fan. His kid was with Coquitlam winning the Minto
Speaker 4: Cup back east. Their buddies from McGhee High School way
Speaker 4: back in the seventies. So there's Reed Mitchell on the left,
Speaker 4: our good paler, good guy. And then there's k Man
Speaker 4: was his son just won the Mental Cup with Coquitlam
Speaker 4: back East. But just a beautiful, beautiful picture of these
Speaker 4: two guys.
Speaker 1: Was a pretty good hockey player, Okay, pretty good hockey.
Speaker 4: Player read absolutely, And now he's the head scout of
Speaker 4: the Maple Leafs. A great guy, a good pal of ours. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Has he been to Europe? Guessing if he's a scout,
Speaker 1: he has probably probably?
Speaker 9: Okay, we we kind of teased this in the last
Speaker 9: segment about a tweet we had to show, and so
Speaker 9: we're getting to it now.
Speaker 1: The NHL Media tour, we talked to Friedman yesterday. He's
Speaker 1: in Vegas.
Speaker 9: NHL Media Tour in Vegas, so there's a lot of
Speaker 9: players available, the bigger names made available to the national types,
Speaker 9: including Pierre Lebron of the Athletic In the t n
Speaker 9: t SN he talked with Jack Hughes. Okay, brother of
Speaker 9: course of Quinn Hughes. If you didn't you're using this
Speaker 9: later on, you said, now talked about later, Well, I'm
Speaker 9: it's gone too far now. Asked Jack about the possibility
Speaker 9: of playing with his brother Quinn.
Speaker 1: Time to read this.
Speaker 9: I know it's a lot I like to quote. This
Speaker 9: is the quote from Jack this is the headline question,
Speaker 9: you know. Jack smiled. Honestly, I'm not afraid to say it.
Speaker 9: I would love for Quinn to Then there's a little pause.
Speaker 9: Eventually I'd love to play with him, and whether that's
Speaker 9: in New Jersey or what time takes. At some point,
Speaker 9: I want to play with Quinn. But that's the question
Speaker 9: going around. They talk all day about it up in Vancouver,
Speaker 9: you know. But yeah, I'd love to play with Quinn
Speaker 9: at some point, multiple times saying how much you'd love
Speaker 9: to play with.
Speaker 1: He did an article or an interview with Ian McIntyre.
Speaker 1: Quinch league two years left in his contract. He's not
Speaker 1: thinking about that right now. He shut out all the noise.
Speaker 9: Well because to Quinn's point, he said this to Ian,
Speaker 9: he can't even sign it, right, He's start her away
Speaker 9: fro even signing it.
Speaker 1: So we get to talk about it. He's letting them
Speaker 1: and then see what happens.
Speaker 9: We get to talk about it, We get to see
Speaker 9: what happens. And I will say, you know, the parallel
Speaker 9: about you know, seeing what happens is going on to
Speaker 9: Edmonton right now, right with Connor McDavid. He is he
Speaker 9: is eligible now, right, But that same exact circus will
Speaker 9: be playing out if we get to the exact same
Speaker 9: point one year from now, Hughes is still here unsigned.
Speaker 4: You know what's gonna happen with Canucks Nations. We just
Speaker 4: watched Mitch Marner a nasty divorce with the Maple Leafs. Yep,
Speaker 4: you know, the fans going to his house, he had
Speaker 4: to call the cops. You know, Twitter driving them nuts.
Speaker 4: We just saw that. Now we're watching Connor McDavid maybe
Speaker 4: not signed in Edmonton, and that's going to be chaos
Speaker 4: until he signs or leaves. Then comes Vancouver and Quinn Hughes.
Speaker 4: If this guy leaves, it is going to be the
Speaker 4: equivalent of Pablo Burrey leaving. In my eyes, might be
Speaker 4: deeper than that. In my eyes, this guy leaving not
Speaker 4: as big devastating.
Speaker 1: Leaving is this is equal to Pabble leaving in terms
Speaker 1: of team's success.
Speaker 4: I think it's right there, but more devastating for the franchise.
Speaker 4: I think it's just as devastating as Palal leaving. This
Speaker 4: is the best offense in a franchise history.
Speaker 1: If you watch, maybe Clipping has to remember that got
Speaker 1: them to a Stanley Cup final, helped get the new
Speaker 1: Stanley Cupeah, you're right, you're right, You're right. That's true,
Speaker 1: that's true. And I'm not knocking Quinn he is for
Speaker 1: a second. I just you know, you know, you know
Speaker 1: I feel about that ninety fourteen, all of your good pals. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know what it is?
Speaker 9: The trend is bothering me a little bit.
Speaker 4: In the NA chop stars leaving can is bothering you,
Speaker 4: bothering me.
Speaker 1: It's not at NBA levels, no, no, but it's bugging me.
Speaker 1: And look at now.
Speaker 9: I'm never going to condone the Marner address thing that
Speaker 9: was leaked online and people go into his house. That's gross,
Speaker 9: that's sick. Should never happen. But the rest of us
Speaker 9: crying about the attention we get and whate is me.
Speaker 9: You get paid a gazillion dollars to play hockey. Yeah,
Speaker 9: the temperatures cranked in Canada. I get that. But it's
Speaker 9: no different than being a Yankee or a cowboy or.
Speaker 1: A member of the Alabama is different.
Speaker 9: It's how is it different?
Speaker 1: Well? The difference with hockey is that you have the
Speaker 1: option to escape to go someplace where the temperature is
Speaker 1: and is. You've got three different levels and this is
Speaker 1: this is my own thinking. Here. You you if you
Speaker 1: want to be a rock star and get all sorts
Speaker 1: of attention and the bad things that come with that,
Speaker 1: play in Canada, mid Ground, Detroit, New York, Boston, that
Speaker 1: that sort of thing where you could go escape. Like
Speaker 1: I know they're popular in Vegas, but not like not
Speaker 1: like they they would be in Toronto.
Speaker 9: But I guess my problem, my beef is some of
Speaker 9: these players are acting like that passion is a negative
Speaker 9: and it's not a negative.
Speaker 4: Again, are you talking about t Yeah, but Rick, you
Speaker 4: don't have to be just Twitter.
Speaker 1: You don't. You don't have to be on social media.
Speaker 1: It's don't be on it if you don't think these
Speaker 1: players are on Twitter watching what we.
Speaker 4: And Rick, I think what Ryan is about that.
Speaker 1: But I think what you're talking about, Boat is you know,
Speaker 1: going out for dinner, walking down the street whatever. That's
Speaker 1: where it's it's different. You're gonna get recognized left and
Speaker 1: right in a place like Toronto. That might not happen
Speaker 1: in Vegas.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but the way these players act, it's like.
Speaker 1: Say something like that, he'll be okay, you guys, jump
Speaker 1: down my throats. No, No, because I I he's gonna
Speaker 1: be Okay, I I agree with you. But the problem is,
Speaker 1: if you want to call it a problem, he's got choices.
Speaker 1: You can go to Vegas and disappears someone.
Speaker 9: I guess the reason it bugs me with Marner because
Speaker 9: Martin also is a complete no show in the playoffs
Speaker 9: for the Leafs. So he makes it sound like, oh,
Speaker 9: I get all this attention. Yeah, Mitch, because you haven't
Speaker 9: done a whole hell of a lot in the playoffs
Speaker 9: for the Leafs, So go now and be a spare
Speaker 9: part with the Vegas Gold and Knights if you want,
Speaker 9: and hide and that's fine.
Speaker 1: And by the way he ducked the media, he had
Speaker 1: to call the cops to his house. Rick I securities
Speaker 1: that house. That's not right.
Speaker 9: All that stuff is gross. I totally agree. I totally agree.
Speaker 9: But the rest of it, the criticism he's taken to me,
Speaker 9: it's all fair game.
Speaker 1: With the way he's played.
Speaker 9: Some of these athletes act like they should have no
Speaker 9: repercussions from when they play bad, yet they get this
Speaker 9: mass amount of money.
Speaker 1: Well, you're getting surprising is that they seem surprised by
Speaker 1: the criticism. That's what I'm saying, Like, you've you've entered
Speaker 1: this world. It is a dream world. Most of us
Speaker 1: would do whatever to take their places and said, I'm
Speaker 1: getting criticized. It right. It's It's been going on since
Speaker 1: the beginning of.
Speaker 9: Yes Sports, and now now these guys are getting a
Speaker 9: bag that some of the past players could only dream of.
Speaker 9: Coming up next to TSAIS director of scouting, Craig Button.

Speaker 11: I am fantastic and I hope the same for both
Speaker 11: of you and your families, and that the summer has
Speaker 11: been good to you both.
Speaker 1: Yes, and the summer for you. I overheard your conversation
Speaker 1: with Ryan and included a trip to Anchor Island. Have
Speaker 1: I got that right?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 11: My daughter moved out to Victoria where her boyfriend they're
Speaker 11: now engaged, and then we took a trip up to Tafino.
Speaker 11: Had never been to Taffino. We spent three days and
Speaker 11: it was fantastic, so just wonderful, wonderful weather, and it
Speaker 11: was post labor day so it's not as busy, so
Speaker 11: it's really nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sure is.
Speaker 4: You've been there to Fieno Rick, No, not yet, not yet.
Speaker 1: It's on the list, Craig, good things to do. You've
Speaker 1: only lived here fifty five years.
Speaker 11: Hey, Craig, if you want recommendations, they got lots of
Speaker 11: three days.
Speaker 1: There you go. I got a great tofuno story that
Speaker 1: I'll share with you guys one day. Hey, you spent
Speaker 1: and I hate to bring this up, Craig, but Craig
Speaker 1: ken Dryden has left us. Left us on the weekend
Speaker 1: at the age of seventy eight. You spent much of
Speaker 1: your childhood in Montreal, right when the Habs were reeling off.
Speaker 1: This is in the seventies, reeling off, and I think
Speaker 1: I've got this right. Stanley Cup after Stanley Cupp, what
Speaker 1: are your memories of the late great number twenty nine
Speaker 1: and your lucky number program, Ken Dryden?
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, Donie, I'm really lucky. You know, first
Speaker 11: of all, your childhood is is a bull of your team,
Speaker 11: and you know, watching a successful team or to Canadians
Speaker 11: in the city you grew up in, its fantastic and
Speaker 11: it was wonderful. But then you know you have this
Speaker 11: person in this player that's kind of arm's length out
Speaker 11: of I got to work for Bob Gainey, who was
Speaker 11: really dear friends with Ken Dryden, so I got to
Speaker 11: know Ken in a much different way. And then when
Speaker 11: Ken became the president of the Toronto Maple Leafs again
Speaker 11: got him to know him a little more. And then
Speaker 11: when I was a manager, you know, we had lots
Speaker 11: of opportunity to spend time together and talk about Lee.
Speaker 11: Take that a little bit further. When he wrote Game
Speaker 11: Change and a lot of it, at the center of
Speaker 11: a lot of it was Steve Monitor, who we had
Speaker 11: signed in Calgary and I knew very well, so it
Speaker 11: went to another level in terms of, you know, talking
Speaker 11: to him about Steve and from that point on and
Speaker 11: it became a lot more personal. And I just pinched
Speaker 11: myself and considered myself so lucky about how these things
Speaker 11: dropped for me and over time and Ken was we
Speaker 11: know what a great goaltender he was, We know how
Speaker 11: well how passionate he was about changes in the game
Speaker 11: and also about serving this country. And to me, you know,
Speaker 11: being able to talk to him in a completely different
Speaker 11: way of ideas. I mean, how many times have we
Speaker 11: heard you know, you started off with a question with Ken,
Speaker 11: and forty five minutes later you were just been finishing
Speaker 11: immersed in a conversation that was Ken. I never found
Speaker 11: a time talking to him, spending time with him when
Speaker 11: it was ever anything that you were thinking about. Oh,
Speaker 11: I got to get out of this. Time just flew by.
Speaker 11: I got to tell you a funny story. Bob Gainey
Speaker 11: was the general manager in Dallas, and of course Ken
Speaker 11: tried to get Bob to come to Toronto to be
Speaker 11: the general manager. Bob declined it wasn't an easy decision
Speaker 11: for him, but we're going into Toronto and Bob phones
Speaker 11: Ken and he says, we're coming in. You want to
Speaker 11: grab something to eat before the game will come a
Speaker 11: little bit earlier. Ken says, yeah, sure, come on up
Speaker 11: to my office. So we go up to his office
Speaker 11: and it's out of four o'clock in the afternoon and
Speaker 11: Union Station is right there. We come out of his
Speaker 11: office down around the corner. We stopped at a hot
Speaker 11: dog stand in front of Union Station. I'm standing with
Speaker 11: Ken Dragon and Bob Gainey and the people. We're having
Speaker 11: a hot dog. That was our beal. That's really why
Speaker 11: a meal and people are walking by Gauky. They're going,
Speaker 11: is that turn? Dryden's up bout Gaty? And I think
Speaker 11: it speaks more to the just like how down to
Speaker 11: earth they were, because I think that that's as brilliant
Speaker 11: as they were as hockey players, as brilliant as they
Speaker 11: are as people down to earth.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to nineteen seventy one for a second.
Speaker 1: Craig six foot four goaltender No. One wore number twenty nine.
Speaker 1: He had the weird sherewood stick and the weird mask
Speaker 1: leaning on his stick. Just how unusual was he? And
Speaker 1: effective long term? But how unusual was he? And what
Speaker 1: were your first impressions of him as a goaltender.
Speaker 11: Well, I think, like everybody else, it was unusual you
Speaker 11: had this tall goaltender. Goaltenders at that time were small,
Speaker 11: you know, and they didn't have the kind of the
Speaker 11: statue esque presence that Ken dick. But Ken was a
Speaker 11: great athlete. I mean he wasn't just a tall goaltender
Speaker 11: that took up space. He was an excellent athlete. The
Speaker 11: quickness in his legs, the quickness in reading plays and
Speaker 11: being able to shut down different scenarios were tremendous. And
Speaker 11: again al McNeil told me this when I was in
Speaker 11: a Calgary and it was wonderful to work with the lady.
Speaker 11: Alan McNeil as well all told me and he coached
Speaker 11: that much All Canadians team after Clod Rouel had stepped
Speaker 11: down and I asked him, I said, like, how did
Speaker 11: you decide to go with Ken Dryding? He goes, I'd
Speaker 11: like to tell you, Craig that we knew Ken could
Speaker 11: do the job for us, but it was more about
Speaker 11: they had two goaltenders at that time. I believe Logy
Speaker 11: Vashar was one in Phil Meir, and they just didn't
Speaker 11: feel that the confidence level and those two goaltenders to
Speaker 11: help them push through into the playoffs was enough and
Speaker 11: that's why they went with Ken. Al said. The rest
Speaker 11: is history. He goes, I'd like to take credit for it,
Speaker 11: but Ken delivered in a big way. Jean Bellago's last
Speaker 11: season and Ken Dryden as a rookie, not even a
Speaker 11: rookie yet, when's the cold smythe wins the Rookie of
Speaker 11: the Year the next season. We'll never see that ever
Speaker 11: happen again.
Speaker 4: All right, Craig, the Canucks, you know what they did
Speaker 4: in the offseason that basically you know, Landa, Evander Kame
Speaker 4: basically everyone else is coming back essentially the same team
Speaker 4: that got ninety points last year. What's your gut saying
Speaker 4: about the Canucks this season? What are you expecting.
Speaker 11: I'm expecting a rebound season for them. I mean, we
Speaker 11: all know Canucks fans know that there was an Engines
Speaker 11: of the world. There was blowing a drama around the
Speaker 11: Canucks last year, and there were some injuries that impeded
Speaker 11: their ability to compete at the highest level. And I
Speaker 11: would call it a trying season for the Vancouver Canucks,
Speaker 11: but I think it's one where they look back, and
Speaker 11: you know, Brock Besser resigns there, Connor Darland resigns there,
Speaker 11: Lennis Paterson leaves and says I'm coming back a different player,
Speaker 11: and by all indications, he's come back with We know,
Speaker 11: I believe that he'd be motivated, but he's come in
Speaker 11: and what you see is somebody that said I'm going
Speaker 11: to come back stronger, and he tests Adam Flood. I
Speaker 11: I was listening reading some stuff with Queen Hughes talking
Speaker 11: about Adam Foot and the influence. As you know, I
Speaker 11: think Adam's ready to be a head coach and I
Speaker 11: think he's ready to take the reins of this team.
Speaker 11: He's passionate. But I see a team that's that's more
Speaker 11: and let me be very clear, that's more than capable
Speaker 11: of being a playoff team. And you know Dental, a
Speaker 11: healthy Dentko. We saw the lank and and could do
Speaker 11: for them last year. You know, the organizational win with
Speaker 11: the Abbotsford connects helps an organization. Two players coming in.
Speaker 11: So I see a rebound season for the Vancouver Cannecks
Speaker 11: and and one where they can really kind of lex
Speaker 11: their talents and in a greater way. And I think
Speaker 11: that we'll see them in the playoffs. I'm picking them
Speaker 11: to be in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Guys, the next NHL draft, Craig should have players from
Speaker 4: Medicine Hat Victoria going one or two. They're not going
Speaker 4: to They're going to be announcing they're in the NCUA A.
Speaker 4: Boy that dub lost a ton of talent, just a ton, Craig.
Speaker 4: How does a league rebound from the quality of players
Speaker 4: that they lost.
Speaker 11: Well, they're gonna have to. And I think that a
Speaker 11: new like a scenario where you have the NC Double A.
Speaker 11: You know, allowing HL players to go is something that's
Speaker 11: everybody's gonna have to deal with. Everybody's going to have
Speaker 11: to look to a different path forward. But let me
Speaker 11: present it to you this way, Rick, they never had
Speaker 11: Maclin Celebrini in the Western Hockey League. They never had
Speaker 11: Jonathan Taste, they never had Kelee mccarr. Now those guys
Speaker 11: have to take a route to go to the NC
Speaker 11: Double A, which they were committed to. They don't have
Speaker 11: to do that anymore. So, I know, we look at
Speaker 11: the players that departed, and Gavin McKinnon departed, Keeping mier
Speaker 11: Hoff departed. But at the same time, what are their
Speaker 11: opportunities going to come for young players that may not
Speaker 11: have chosen the WHL to come into the WHL and
Speaker 11: play right now. I think that's a gamer ful opportunity.
Speaker 11: I think that's an opportunity that the that the WHL
Speaker 11: has to sell. When you look at what the NCUBA
Speaker 11: offers very different than what the CHL and the Western
Speaker 11: Hockey go are focusing on your strengths. The LHL has
Speaker 11: a lot of strengths. They have a lot of opportunity
Speaker 11: for players. And yeah, there's going to be someone survey
Speaker 11: over the next year or two, but once it all
Speaker 11: sorts out, I don't see the WHL suffering in a
Speaker 11: significant way. The league might become a little bit younger,
Speaker 11: and we might lose some of the nineteen or year
Speaker 11: old players playing in the Western Hockey League, But all
Speaker 11: in all, what other players will become a tractor to
Speaker 11: the WHL because now they can choose that level at
Speaker 11: a younger age and still go to the nc DOUBLE.
Speaker 4: We know you like Cameron Schmidt last year from the
Speaker 4: Vancouver Giants, Well guess what they got another kid and
Speaker 4: he's right from here, Richmond Ryan Lynn, sixteen year old defenseman.
Speaker 4: What a player he could go top ten in the
Speaker 4: NHL draft. What do you like about him? Craig, Yeah,
Speaker 4: you talk that.
Speaker 11: I mean again, I'm gonna say this. I mean you
Speaker 11: watch the way that Ryane controls the game. I mean
Speaker 11: Latin and DuPont went into Everett last year and he
Speaker 11: was a fifteen year old player. That became he the
Speaker 11: youngest player whatever. He gets fifty or more points as
Speaker 11: a defenseman in the Western valcul League. Scott Needermarrow Well,
Speaker 11: Ryan Lynn did the same thing. And you know, because
Speaker 11: Landon was an exceptional status player, Ryan kind of got
Speaker 11: lost a little bit. He shouldn't get lost. He's a
Speaker 11: brilliant player. I don't think a couple of things about
Speaker 11: Ryan that really stand out to me. I know how
Speaker 11: good he is offensively. His mind is great, precision passer,
Speaker 11: all the things you do offensively. At the U eighteen Championship,
Speaker 11: he was instrumental in helping Canada win the UA team.
Speaker 11: He was only seventeen years old and it was his
Speaker 11: defensive player. It was his penalty killing him. I think
Speaker 11: he's an elite defenseman and again not just a one
Speaker 11: trick pony. He can do it all and he's shown
Speaker 11: himself he can do it all. I don't have any
Speaker 11: question that he's going to be an excellent player in
Speaker 11: the National Hockey League.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Craig, as we let you go, Just let
Speaker 1: you know that I've instructed Ryan Henderson to clip your
Speaker 1: prediction that the Caducks are going to make the playoffs
Speaker 1: so I could come back to haunt you.
Speaker 11: I'm not worried about haunting.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 11: Halloween will come soon enough. But you know the thing
Speaker 11: about predictions, you go and be one or two things
Speaker 11: right or wrong. I believe I'm going to be right
Speaker 11: on the Canucks.
Speaker 1: Oha. Well, you know you have a lot of support
Speaker 1: out here as always, Craig. Great, great to have you back.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you enjoyed our providence earlier this summer. Thanks again.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 11: Always my pleasure, guys, Thanks.
Speaker 1: You bet, Craig, Button t S N. Scott and director
Speaker 1: on the record, We're gonna clip that right right, clip
Speaker 1: it on the record is saying the Canucks are gonna make.
Speaker 4: The pleasure so you want them to go and to rebuild.
Speaker 4: He's saying they're going to make the playoffs. I didn't
Speaker 4: mention that to Craig Okay, break, We'll deal with the
Speaker 4: pull question next.
Speaker 1: Donnie Della, the team want you Donnie and Dolly.
Speaker 3: The team is supported by Abelauntions dot ca A closing
Speaker 3: your business we can.
Speaker 1: Help bottleing dog poll question experience one of Victoria's iconic destinations, sleep, sip,
Speaker 1: and stuck up all in one legendary spot. Come sit
Speaker 1: and stay at the dog today more than just a
Speaker 1: public Oh beautiful Brandon, that great guy.
Speaker 9: By the way, Just quickly, because you just mentioned Brandon,
Speaker 9: because I've been talking to him. Two things, Brandon, the
Speaker 9: Grand puba yes dog both waddling dog and also the
Speaker 9: baside resort. A reminder if you mentioned Donnie and Dolly
Speaker 9: ten percent off at the base side and also at
Speaker 9: the wattling dog. So mentioned Donnion Dolly either spot ten
Speaker 9: percent off and our merch is at both spots too.
Speaker 1: Brandon's a big rebuilds guy.
Speaker 4: Gotyn McKenna.
Speaker 1: Got that question. Craig really shut that down. You really
Speaker 1: slammed the door on you.
Speaker 4: He thinks the Canucks are making the playoffs. You know,
Speaker 4: he's positive they had ninety points last year. You guys
Speaker 4: act like they had fifty or sixty or seventy.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think the big thing with the Canucks last
Speaker 1: year year we'll get to the question the second they
Speaker 1: dropped nineteen points from the previous year. Yeah, that hell
Speaker 1: from seven years ago. But that happens when you trade
Speaker 1: J T. Miller. Did they drop nineteen points or not?
Speaker 1: They did, and that's it was they still you make
Speaker 1: it sound like it was a great season.
Speaker 4: Ninety points is decent, don I think.
Speaker 1: It's better than most people expect that.
Speaker 4: If they were in one division, they would have made
Speaker 4: the playoffs. If they were in one division in the East,
Speaker 4: they would have made the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And you said you also said last year that they
Speaker 1: would have they would beat Montreal in.
Speaker 4: A playoff series. Did not say that. I don't remember that.
Speaker 4: As we get closer, ninety points not sixty the same.
Speaker 1: You know what, though, here's my thing. You know, I
Speaker 1: feel be positive. I would have loved it if they
Speaker 1: got sixty, right then.
Speaker 4: You would have been after Gavin mcinner.
Speaker 1: They'd have on the blue line.
Speaker 9: As we get closer, we will probably have to make
Speaker 9: predictions on whether or not they're making the playoffs.
Speaker 1: They're they're they're going to be right there, say, are
Speaker 1: you talking about. They're gonna be right there, good.
Speaker 4: Goalies, good defense, and we'll see what happens. I'm telling
Speaker 4: you they're gonna be right there. This is man, you
Speaker 4: you make it. Yeah, right there, They're gonna be right there.
Speaker 4: Mark my words.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'll just I'll go on record right now.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna make the playoffs. I'm with
Speaker 1: you on that. Both your negative.
Speaker 9: Then, in case you're saying they're going in, I'm not.
Speaker 9: I'm saying they stand.
Speaker 4: I want to see what they do with the second line. Hey,
Speaker 4: if they panic, and they might panic if he doesn't
Speaker 4: work out, they they could panic and make a dumb drip.
Speaker 4: They might not panic. Would you take a stand? I'm
Speaker 4: telling they're gonna bet there. They're gonna be right there.
Speaker 4: Before the start of the season. We will throw the goal.
Speaker 4: We wont he won't do it. I'll do it. Give
Speaker 4: me some tailor's right. You see the preseason been unbelievable, politician.
Speaker 4: Let me see the preseason and then, oh, come on,
Speaker 4: you can't tell any talking about John the preseason. What
Speaker 4: are you gonna learn how the hell Heat's gonna do?
Speaker 4: That's what you're gonna learn. You're not gonna learn that.
Speaker 4: They're gonna send the kids all the junior and abs
Speaker 4: burd and then they're gonna have the bulk of the
Speaker 4: main guys there. Don't accord the entire season. They're gonna
Speaker 4: send the kids to junior. They don't have the main
Speaker 4: guys there. So according to you, the entire season is
Speaker 4: hinging on preseason to the feat.
Speaker 1: I didn't say that.
Speaker 4: Well, you get to the pole, Get to the pole.
Speaker 4: Where's the pole?
Speaker 9: Get it up?
Speaker 4: There's the waddling dog poll question.
Speaker 1: What's gonna be the big twenty minutes.
Speaker 4: What's gonna be the biggest issue with the Canucks forward
Speaker 4: group going this season? The seventy one lack of center depth,
Speaker 4: lack of speeds five to six percent, lack of grit,
Speaker 4: toughness percent and they'll be fine at thirteen percent, but
Speaker 4: you know, we should have had the fourth option. They'll
Speaker 4: be right there. They'll be right there. They're gonna be
Speaker 4: right there seventy one percent. Everybody, even other teams I
Speaker 4: talked to. Everybody understands the Canucks may may not be
Speaker 4: screwed at the second line. And Heatle's career high as
Speaker 4: forty five can.
Speaker 1: I say something else. And again, I've been very negative
Speaker 1: today and and you know I am I. I I
Speaker 1: agree with and I have been for a while. But
Speaker 1: look the way, you know, things have unfolded for the connection. Yeah,
Speaker 1: some people might ask you, do they have a first
Speaker 1: line center? Right?
Speaker 4: Well, he better, he better bring you what.
Speaker 9: No, some people might ask that if he's not the
Speaker 9: first line center, if he's last year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean bona fide. I mean if he
Speaker 1: doesn't improve, that question will be asked.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 4: It's just.
Speaker 1: What we just keep saying.
Speaker 4: He's God like.
Speaker 1: Brough keeps saying like he's kind of like Voldemort. Right,
Speaker 1: but I think Brough hates better so more than you.
Speaker 1: It's close.
Speaker 4: Okay, listen, if he doesn't get ninety plus points, this
Speaker 4: team's in trouble. They're in trouble.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's strong. And then and then they'll be right there.
Speaker 4: They'll be right there, right there, right there, They're going
Speaker 4: to be right there. They're going to be right there.
Speaker 4: Keep it luck the pole. It's a lack of center depth, clearly.
Speaker 4: And they got nobody in Absburg that could take the
Speaker 4: second line, which is even more frustrating. Done they don't
Speaker 4: have anybody in Absburg.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the Canucks. We did this
Speaker 1: earlier in the showcase Mistead. By the way, Also earlier
Speaker 1: in the show we mentioned the Man Cup going on again.
Speaker 1: Tune into this show because we'll talk about it. Other
Speaker 1: sports shows won't. They're doing a good job in their
Speaker 1: local stations. But Man Cup Game four tonight after six
Speaker 1: stitions one last night, nineteen nine over in New Wes
Speaker 1: Game four tonight, seven point thirty Queens Park Arena News
Speaker 1: still up two games to one and fans behave. It
Speaker 1: was a fight filled game yesterday in the stands.
Speaker 4: In the stands, fans, you gotta behave when you go
Speaker 4: to sporting events. Something happened in the stands. There was
Speaker 4: a big fight reminiscent of Ernie Punch McLain in the
Speaker 4: brook In Hockey I Queen's Park. Ernie Punch all that
Speaker 4: that's the Ernie punch essed to throw garbage cans on
Speaker 4: the I.
Speaker 1: Ernie Punch, McLay love any punch, McLean the A n W.
Speaker 5: Bear.

Speaker 4: Twenty five kids want to play in their hometown of Cloverdale.
Speaker 4: They can't do it right now, Anders from Cloverdale again.
Speaker 4: Politics in minor hockey, junior hockey, they're never going to end.

Speaker 1: from what I understand, But you're bang on rick with
Speaker 1: a concern about the players and the excitement of making
Speaker 1: a junior hockey team and poof, it's gone away.
Speaker 4: Think about the kids and cut out your stupid bs politics.
Speaker 4: There's twenty five kids that want to play hockey in Cloverdale.
Speaker 1: Brandon and New West. Is it just me? Or would
Speaker 1: John Mungo be a good name for a horse in

Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 4: Is it just me?
Speaker 1: Who's aware?
Speaker 4: A W sayus had a secret meal called the Donny
Speaker 4: Tilt contains a U and a burger. Onion rings or
Speaker 4: the onion rings that a W are out of this world.

Speaker 1: Yeah, he had the little handle on it. I remember those,
Speaker 1: yeah glass, Yeah, absolutely, I remember a lot of things.
Speaker 1: Is it just me? Hc And Ladner in reference to
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and the incident in Buffalo. Is it just me?
Speaker 1: But ty Domi must have had the best player fan
Speaker 1: interaction in the history of sports. That was in looking
Speaker 1: up on YouTube folks in Philadelphia, Ti Domi in the
Speaker 1: penalty box playing for the Leafs fan, banging on the
Speaker 1: glass glass. The support gives way, he falls into the
Speaker 1: penalty box. I think guy wanted to go with t
Speaker 1: to ty restrain himself. Yeah, he was in a no
Speaker 1: when situation there. Good for him and Booze involved there
Speaker 1: as well. There's no question about that.
Speaker 4: NHL players in Canada is similar to soccer players in
Speaker 4: Europe tribing a star in Manchester United Dan and look,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but what Mitch Marner went through in Toronto,
Speaker 4: she shouldn't have gone. Canuck's Twitter's got a bad reputation

Speaker 4: But here's the thing about Canuck players. Don't go on Twitter.
Speaker 4: Don't there are I just.
Speaker 1: Went beyond social media.

Speaker 4: thing in society. There's just too many negative people on
Speaker 4: there and too many bad people on there, and it's
Speaker 4: just not good on signed.
Speaker 1: Is it just me? But it sounds like a bottle

Speaker 4: Of our listeners. I'm gonna I'm gonna get better. It's
Speaker 4: only two days in. I put a lot of time. Fine,
Speaker 4: it's good. I put forty five minutes into that birthday
Speaker 4: last night, last night, forty five minutes. I can't believe
Speaker 4: Rick keeps sticking up for Miller, Kirk and Coquitlam Kirk.
Speaker 4: As soon as Miller was traded, the Canucks themselves said
Speaker 4: heart and soul guy, we're gonna miss him, and so
Speaker 4: everybody he went to the Four Nations. The Americans loved him.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be on that Olympic team. JT.
Speaker 1: Miller.

Speaker 1: They love him. You had to talk to a source SPN.
Speaker 4: Hey, you think they loved everybody there? They love him. J. T.
Speaker 4: Miller is a heart and soul guy when it hurts.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but there's a part of
Speaker 1: me I can't wait till let the real story comes out.
Speaker 4: Why he left the book. The who's writing the book? First,
Speaker 4: Peterson or Miller? Who's writing the book, even.
