It's Donnie and Dolly the 15 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.799 team on Check. Don Taylor, along with Rick Dolly Wall. 16 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.679 Ryan Henderson is our producer. He's the man at the 17 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.119 controls our director. The voice of God is Derek Wong. 18 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.320 Quinn Taylor's here as well. How are you that couldn't 19 00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:03.439 be better? Cracking over the Canucks? Five nothing and Seattle 20 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.560 is eleven fewer points than the Canucks. 21 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.359 I didn't see it coming. I don't know if you did. 22 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:12.760 I didn't see the urgency. I knew when the two 23 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.480 power plays early in the game and they went over 24 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.640 too in the power play. I thought to myself, that's 25 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.000 not good. That's not good at all. Where was the urgency? 26 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.079 Where's the team desperate for points? Donny? Where was that 27 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:24.760 team last night? I didn't see it. 28 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.719 I'm going to disagree with you somewhat. Well. I thought 29 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.439 they worked hard last night. Maybe there was some urgency there. 30 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.120 We could argue that there's not enough talent, and a 31 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.000 lot of that has to do with injuries. And look 32 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.680 look at what's happening with their center ice position. You know, 33 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.879 Philip Headel is out probably for the season. Elius Petterson, 34 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.040 Lord knows when he's coming back. We don't know exactly 35 00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.760 what the injury is. They traded J. T. Miller Hoglander. 36 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:59.000 Hoglander's not there. There's the skill level even versus Seattle 37 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.640 eleven points behind it. But they looked like the seventy 38 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.159 eight Montreal Canadians last night. There's not enough talent not 39 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.599 I know. I know the Aviasford players have been great, 40 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.520 relatively speaking, There's not enough talent in this organization. 41 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.759 I'm going to fight back on you on that. They 42 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:14.319 just went on a road trip and scored a ton 43 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.039 of goals. Without all those guys. 44 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.879 How'd they do in that road trip? Do you claim 45 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.879 it was a great road tap? They were two? They 46 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.000 lost four of those. 47 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.840 Games, two to two and two on the road trip. 48 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:26.000 That's four losses. 49 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.120 Had a ton of abby guys in there, goals in 50 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.680 the last minute twice, should have beat the Rangers. There 51 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.879 was a lot of good other trip. Don It wasn't 52 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.400 a horrible trip. They scored a ton of goals. Where 53 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.599 were those guys last night that were scoring on the 54 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:42.039 road trip? 55 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:42.159 Do? 56 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:43.240 Where were they? 57 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:44.120 Rick? 58 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.280 They're not going to make the playoffs? I know, eight 59 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.360 points out of a playoffs, but right they're gone. It's Seber, 60 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:51.919 it's over. But you're telling you that the road trip 61 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.039 was great, and I'm telling you where were the guys 62 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.159 last night on home ice? 63 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.599 And that's another problem. Dodd tied with sanjose A at 64 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.120 Chicago for the fewest home wins. That's bad. I don't 65 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:08.719 know where you go, is it good or bad? Like 66 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:10.800 it's bad. They're not going to make the playoffs. We 67 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.240 know that it's over. 68 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.000 That there's not enough talent, that management has done a 69 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.400 poor job. This is another you know, another area of 70 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.120 management that just has not done a great job. Let 71 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.120 me let me go down the list here of what's 72 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.840 happening with the injury riddled Okay, not much you could 73 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.520 do about that. Injury injuries are gonna are gonna happen 74 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.680 at this point. Again, the Atmosphord guys have been great, 75 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:34.400 they had five or six of them in the lineup 76 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.680 last night, but relatively speaking, no depth to take care 77 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.919 of what's happening, especially at the center ice position. They've 78 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:46.120 got an eleven point six million dollars a season star 79 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:53.080 center who's injured and underachieving right bingle. They've got what 80 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.879 looks to be a lame duck head coach who won 81 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.919 an Adams Award last year and looks like he might 82 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.560 be headed out the door. It's just so strange trade 83 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:10.680 deadline they got UFAs brock Bester and Pugh Suiter didn't 84 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.680 didn't and Derek Forward didn't get anything for those guys. 85 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:15.240 Didn't make a move with them. I guess in the 86 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.519 hopes that they were going to make the playoffs. Can 87 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.120 you imagine the reaction? What you know, what the reaction 88 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.079 is going to be if those guys leave for nothing, nothing, nothing, 89 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.240 management group and maybe this is too close to us 90 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.800 too worried about the media. They're too worried about what 91 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.399 the media is thinking. With the play, better, then the 92 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:35.759 media will be more positive. 93 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.680 Twenty four to seven. They're worried about what the media 94 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:41.759 is saying twenty four to seven, seven days a week. 95 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.439 They're they're, they're and look, not just management and the organization, 96 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.800 but the fan base is well frightened to death about 97 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.160 what Quinn Hughes is thinking right now. That is true, 98 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.879 and he is what he played twenty seven minutes last night, 99 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.600 he has been just fabulous. Obviously, the skill level, the 100 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.839 work ethic second to none. But you have to be 101 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.199 frightened to death. I'll use that phrase again about what 102 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.959 he is thinking at this point and percent other than that, 103 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:09.759 things are pretty good. 104 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.600 Other than that, everything's good, and Quinn Hughes, I'm missing 105 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.079 things too, Donnie. Let's call a space of spade. Quinn 106 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.199 Hughes is nowhere near one hundred percent. That that that 107 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.040 poor kid, what he's gone through in the last few 108 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:22.040 weeks and months, He's not one hundred percent. He's not 109 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:23.759 even close to one hundred percent. But he goes out 110 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.279 there every single night and gives it all. 111 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.920 He's got highlights if you want to call him that, Derek, 112 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.279 We're good rock and roll, my friend Roger's Arena, Vancouver, 113 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.000 BC Len first period, Jake Debrusk with the giveaway to 114 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:38.959 Mike Easimont. 115 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.800 He's Kate's hand. He shoots his coats past thatcher. Dempko 116 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:48.360 won nothing. Seattle. Second period crack an attack Jared McCann 117 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:52.519 to Andre Brukowski all the way over to Chandler Stevenson 118 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.879 high glove on Demco who look to be playing the past. 119 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.560 There to nothing for the visitors from the Evergreen State 120 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.360 and apparently Seattle book on Demko high glove from the 121 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.759 left side Shane Wright, same thing as Stevenson's late in 122 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.959 that middle, Stanza writes eighteenth three nothing after a deuce 123 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.720 midway through the third krack and breakout with speed, and 124 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.040 again it's the ex cannock Jared McCann leading the way. 125 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.759 I'm contested. He comes up with the sweet feet to 126 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.720 Berekovski and in breakowsky in fashion he makes it four nothing. 127 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.959 Third assist for McCann. Rick Hackett pulled Dempko with five 128 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:31.399 minutes left, and that results in this Adam Larsen on 129 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.319 the right side making moves hits the gaping six by 130 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.600 four as Booze rained down five to nothing final Connock's 131 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:43.279 at home to Anaheim on Saturday. Here's where they're at. 132 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:48.839 We went through that before the highlights. But the skill, 133 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.720 the talent isn't there right now, even against the team 134 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.319 like Seattle. And that has a lot to do with injuries. 135 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.399 I understand that, but Thatcher Dempko has to stand on 136 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.680 his head in order for them to win. He'll tell 137 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:03.319 you that last night he wasn't at his best. 138 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:04.839 Knocker knock three goals. 139 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.959 He's a fantastic goaltender, but it's pretty much up to 140 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.000 him right now in order for them or for them 141 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:14.079 to win. I know there are other components, but that 142 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.240 is the key. It wasn't there last night. Five nothing fine. 143 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.120 First three goals, Don fourteen shots not good enough. The 144 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.360 two that went as you mentioned, the exact left side glove. 145 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.279 He's had better games. This team is in a position 146 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.639 you nail. It cannot win without great goaltending. They've given 147 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:33.480 up a lot of go to Columbus. Don go to 148 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.279 Columbus seven goals. They have given up a lot of 149 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.199 goals in the last week. Better goaltending is required. 150 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:43.120 Rick Cockett post game, frustrated Rick Cockett, as you can 151 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:49.680 imagine Rick Cockett talking about his team, no poise, lots 152 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:50.879 of nerves. 153 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:55.399 Yeah, I think that early on saw a lot of nervousness. 154 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:57.839 You know, we had a couple of power plays with 155 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.360 are he needs some I didn't think we had some poison. 156 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:02.920 Then they got a couple of quick goals on us, 157 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.480 and you could see guys were getting nervous chasing the game. 158 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:08.600 I mean, you know, I think we had some guys 159 00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.160 that really gave some effort, but I didn't think we 160 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.160 had a lot of poise tonight. 161 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.240 How tough is it to continue to believe? I mean, 162 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.560 when you playing these much win situations, it's got to 163 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.079 be emotionally exhausting. 164 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.480 And to still believe you've got a chance when the 165 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.519 math is bad, well, I mean, you got to believe 166 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:23.920 in yourself. How do you you know, if you're struggling 167 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:25.480 as a player, you got to turn your game around. You 168 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.720 gotta believe in yourself. Plus, we got a bunch of 169 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.639 young guys. You gotta, you know, it to them to 170 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:33.279 keep pushing, and you just keep pushing. But you know, 171 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.639 like I said, you know, you gotta I know it's 172 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.279 the same old thing coaches say, but you got to 173 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.879 you gotta keep getting at it, working at it. But 174 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.960 there's some plays there and some poise stuff that we 175 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.799 gotta you know, we just got to relax in certain situations. Intensity, 176 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.919 but relax. There's plays there, and I just think we're 177 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:50.120 not finding them, you know. 178 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.559 He went on after that, and the guy's on six 179 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.080 fifty Jason and Mica this morning made a point about 180 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.159 how many times he said poise it's just not there, 181 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.440 and again has a lot to do with you know, 182 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:06.200 you know, I know it's all relative. You're in the 183 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:10.519 National Lucky League. You're a tremendously talented athlete, but relatively speaking, 184 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:12.519 there's not a whole lot of skill. There's whole lot 185 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.480 of talent, whole lot of goals scoring there, especially given 186 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:15.960 the injuries. 187 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.519 Yeah, poise patient, same thing, And he's a frustrated coach 188 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.600 right now. Don he's frustrated. There's no question in my mind, 189 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.639 he's sitting there going, Okay, this is what I got. 190 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.759 This is why he'd probably like to get some of 191 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.840 those injury guys back as soon as possible, because these 192 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.799 games mean so much. Guess what not, everyone's coming back 193 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:33.240 right away. 194 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.000 Okay, let's let's run another Rick Talcket clip here if 195 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:40.039 you don't mind, Derek, This is Rick Talckett expanding on 196 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.919 what he was talking about earlier, but his team's inability 197 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.159 to make the most of its chances. What do we have? 198 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.679 Seventy six shot attempts, a lot of miss nuts, block shots, 199 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:52.960 the same old story. We just that's where the poise is. 200 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.919 You know, you know the guy's gonna be in front, 201 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:57.679 you gotta fake it, go around and then shoot it 202 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:01.519 like these are the poised place shot attempts are. I mean, 203 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.679 I like it, but you'd like to see more result 204 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.240 or when you get some attempts, I thought we missed 205 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:11.879 the net again. Shot location is a big thing. We've 206 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:15.679 talked about being able to shoot somewhere where the goalie 207 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.639 might give a rebound instead of missing the net and 208 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:19.519 then starting to break out. 209 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:21.720 So this is a but that's pois. We gotta keep 210 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:22.519 working on that stuff. 211 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.759 Talk it. And the reason I wanted to run that 212 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:33.000 clip is because I think we've run a similar clip 213 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.039 fourteen to fifteen times this year, and it's just such 214 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.240 a simple thing and making the most of your chances 215 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.840 and missing the net missing, you know, just as like 216 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:47.120 And again, I know it's the National Hockey League. I 217 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.840 know the game moves lightning quick. I can only imagine, 218 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.679 you can only imagine. Most people out there can only imagine. 219 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.039 But hitting the net is so basic, and it must 220 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:59.200 be just so frustrating for him to see his team 221 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.320 not do that. And what a difference it would make 222 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.519 if in fact they actually they actually hit the net 223 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:06.879 twenty four times. They missed the net last night. 224 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:08.279 A lot of and give Seattle credit, a lot of 225 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.399 block shots twenty nine block shots. Yeah, give Seattle credit. 226 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.799 And when you when the other team is sacrificing and 227 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.679 blocking shots, well, guess what, it's a real tough time 228 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.720 to get through to the goaltender with a shot, So 229 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.159 get the crack on some credit. 230 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.879 It must be really disappointing for Rick Talckett. It is 231 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.919 because you come off with that, you come off of 232 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.519 that road trip which was so successful, you know, and 233 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.080 you come up with an effort like that, like that 234 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.080 must be really disappointing for you. 235 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.000 And they had they were missing two guys last night, Seattle. 236 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.399 Two top six wingers or sorry, top six players Schwartz 237 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.960 and somebody DM me last yesterday. He said, oh, it's 238 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.879 a guaranteed win night tonight. Seattle's got two guys out, 239 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.679 two really important guys out. And I said, you know what, 240 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.519 there is no guaranteed win night. And you know what else, 241 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.279 A lot of guys in Seattle are playing for jobs 242 00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:00.440 next year. Don Canucks be doing the same thing exactly 243 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:05.639 exactly and told them, Schwartz out and so Donny, there's 244 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.919 a lot of guys on Seattle playing for jobs next year. 245 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.279 And they looked like it last night. And Jared McCann, 246 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.240 the former canak that third goal now the goal by 247 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.279 uh Barakowski where he had his head up and he 248 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.200 passed it on their oh, beautiful. 249 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:19.840 Path, sure but uncontested. 250 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:23.039 Yeah, but the way he kept his head up and 251 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:24.440 he knew he was there and he just put it 252 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:27.000 right on his stick, down beautiful, beautiful path. 253 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:28.399 Eleven points behind the Canucks. 254 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.840 I know, I know, I know, it's ridiculous. That's not 255 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.200 the effort. Five nothing home ice lost to a non 256 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:35.440 playoff team is not. 257 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.639 I I don't. I didn't have that much. I'm I'm 258 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.759 I'm sure I'm in the minority there. I thought their effort. 259 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:43.639 You could talk about their urgency, whatever, what do you 260 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:45.480 want to talk? I thought it was okay last night. 261 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:47.679 There's just that they don't have the skill right now, 262 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:51.279 especially with those injuries and the lack of depth and 263 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:54.759 the terrible management. I mean, you. 264 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.960 Missed the goaltending done. These guys can't win with weak goltending. 265 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.279 They can't do it. Yeah, they can't. Last night go 266 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.600 three unfortunate and that's rare for him. Yeah it is. 267 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:05.679 And it was a one off for demgop. But my goodness, 268 00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:08.919 he has to be better, are you Ryan? 269 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:14.799 Yeah? Swall, Swall we had time to rant a bit 270 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:15.799 more here, Yeah. 271 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:19.159 Uh, not much time. I don't want to keep far 272 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:20.480 hand waiting. He gets all mad. 273 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:25.279 We do have a good inbox Delaney's okay tire in 274 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:29.159 Langley and all the grove inbox good. Uh, completely agree 275 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.360 with Donnie here. Not enough talent in my opinion, the 276 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.799 most disappointing season in the last decade. The wheels fell 277 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.639 off early, fell off the wagon early in the season, 278 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.279 and the Canucks ended up relying on spare tires that 279 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.639 just couldn't get the team where they needed to go. 280 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:46.080 That's downhill, Dave in Whistler, and that is kind of 281 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:47.639 how I felt last night too. I was like, I 282 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.000 can't get overly worked out, because if you just look 283 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.799 at the roster, it's clearly obvious that there's just not enough. 284 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.480 There's not nearly enough talent. 285 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.000 But the real sad part is that, as Rick points out, 286 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:03.639 Seattle's missed a couple of key players. Yeah, and their 287 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.559 roster looked way much more talented than than the Connucks. 288 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.679 It shouldn't be that way even with the injuries. 289 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:12.559 But okay, but let me ask you this. 290 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:14.759 Let me ask you this, Like if you say you 291 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.279 put Peterson back in the lineup, you put Hole back 292 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.759 in the lineup, heat back in the lineup, there's still 293 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.799 not with everything we know about this team, it's not 294 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.759 like there's there Oh my god, they've inserted three hundred 295 00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.840 points into the lineup. Eleven point six is underperformed. 296 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:32.600 Number one he number one center is out. 297 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:36.480 He don't but but but not only is he out. 298 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:39.799 We know how he's played, right, Like it's two there's 299 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.559 two steps there, right, It's not like, oh Pederson, yeah 300 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:44.320 he's out and he's just been such a heartbeat. 301 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:48.039 He's been up and down. Let's look at this. It 302 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.639 is it is him at the number one center underachieving 303 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:55.000 at eleven six. You mentioned eleven six, and it is 304 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:58.639 them trading. They're them trading their number two center because 305 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:00.759 of the number two center couldn't get a with the number. 306 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:04.360 One, number one center who's number one Miller was their 307 00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:07.000 number one miller was number one, but they had to 308 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.919 trade he's underachieving at eleven six and they had to 309 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.679 trade the other guy because he couldn't get along with 310 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:13.080 this guy. 311 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:14.080 Yeah, I think it was. 312 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:16.159 On the list. 313 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.559 I think it goes back further than that. Like I 314 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.159 think you gotta look back to the offseason. Look, every 315 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:23.600 I said this before the show, every move they made 316 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:27.799 since the loss against Edmonton was a lesser move. Like 317 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:31.080 they lost They lost Mike Yo as an assistant. They 318 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.559 replaced him with the skills coach, no disrespect. They lost 319 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.399 Ian Clark, they replaced him with the guy in Abbotsford, Right, 320 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.600 they lost the door off they tried with deharn A 321 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:40.759 in this combination that. 322 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:41.639 They had it. 323 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.279 They had that edge that people crave in this city. 324 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:50.039 Last year during the playoffs, they had swagger, they had toughness. 325 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:53.320 Yeah, but their downfall, but their downfall was not scoring 326 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:54.879 and they didn't do anything to address that in the 327 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.759 offseason and that that caused problems early on this year. 328 00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.639 How many times did we talk about them having no 329 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:04.039 shot through two periods this year with Miller here with Peterson. 330 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.000 They shot, they did, and the attempts or got off? 331 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:13.840 How many ups locked? How many were missed? I maybe 332 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:15.600 tomorrow I want to go on a rant about and 333 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.320 I think this thing goes way back and when when 334 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.440 this management group first got here. Well there's that too, 335 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.039 uh before they started with the carnival wheel at the draft. 336 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.919 We also want to talk about Rick Talktt pulling the goaltender. 337 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.200 We'll do that as as the day goes on. Rick 338 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.600 talk pulling Dempco with five minutes left down for nothing. 339 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.240 Some people had a problem with that. Here's what else 340 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:41.639 is coming up on the show, and we've got lots 341 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.679 of response in the delaying top uh DTMZ Is it 342 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.080 just me coming up in the eleven o'clock hour?

I don't think 345 00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.399 that's going to happen this time around. So John Garrett 346 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.960 teach is going to join us just after eleven o'clock 347 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:07.599 longtime Conduck analyst, NHL goaltender for Ranhill goaltender Big Ride 348 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.000 the Quitter Guy later this hour, and we also also 349 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:13.720 mentioned we've had a lot of requests for this and 350 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:18.000 given the results, the result of last night and the 351 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:21.920 Canucks where they stand draft lottery simulator, gotta do, we're 352 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.519 gonna have time for that.

It's hopping in the Delaney's OK 376 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.799 tire and Langley and Aldergrove inbox day from Klona just 377 00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:59.920 before we get the four farhand. This is what I 378 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:05.359 was hinting at in the first segment, and I've wondered 379 00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:08.400 about this for a while. But Dave from Colonna echoing 380 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.599 my sentiments, well, not echoing because he didn't hear my sentiments. 381 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.000 These are his. Where would the team be if they 382 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:18.440 kept Horvat and traded Miller, Horvat and eleven six got 383 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.640 along right again? That's Dave from Colonna. That's an interesting 384 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:24.000 topic of discussion, Donnie. 385 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:27.319 Not only did they get rid of Horvat, they signed 386 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.880 two guys that don't like each other too long term deals. Yeah, 387 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.119 they knew at the time they signed Miller that Miller 388 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:35.640 and Patterson weren't getting along. 389 00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:39.839 Remember Brad richardson his broad he was on that team 390 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:41.759 back then and he said, you got to do something 391 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.559 about this. So it's been festering for a long time. 392 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:47.960 So horrible. What did they do? They unload Horvat, who's 393 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.119 having a very strong season. He'd be tops among Kinnock 394 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:53.279 forwards if he was still with the Caducks, who's having 395 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:56.160 a very solid season for the New York Onolanders for 396 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:57.759 a hand Lawsey. He joins us now in the wake 397 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:01.640 of the Canucks five nothing lost. Yeattle, thanks for doing this, sir. 398 00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:02.160 How are you? 399 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:05.200 I am good, you know, And whenever you kind of 400 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:07.160 bring that topic back up on the Horrorvat front, it 401 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:09.599
