Speaker 1: Check podcasts.
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to the Donnie and Dolly podcast. Catch
Speaker 2: the show Monday through Friday, ten am to noon on Check.
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna want to hear this.
Speaker 2: Your local sports coverage lives here and.
Speaker 4: The man wearing Dennis Curran's old number six makes it
Speaker 4: too nothing.
Speaker 2: With John Taylor, I was just gonna say, underrated egg,
Speaker 2: deviled egg and Rick Dolly Wall.
Speaker 1: Now are you gonna go on the coach at eight
Speaker 1: o'clock tonight? Sit down and let's put.
Speaker 2: It in gears Donnie and Dolly.
Speaker 4: Ten o'clock in downtown Dan Cooper brother Paul Carson's video.
Speaker 4: Thanks for tuning in, folks. It's Donnie and Dolly the
Speaker 4: team on Check. Don Taylor, along with Rick Dolly Wall.
Speaker 4: Ryan Henderson is our producer. He's the man at the
Speaker 4: controls our director. The voice of God is Derek Wong.
Speaker 4: Quinn Taylor's here as well. How are you that couldn't
Speaker 4: be better? Cracking over the Canucks? Five nothing and Seattle
Speaker 4: is eleven fewer points than the Canucks.
Speaker 1: I didn't see it coming. I don't know if you did.
Speaker 1: I didn't see the urgency. I knew when the two
Speaker 1: power plays early in the game and they went over
Speaker 1: too in the power play. I thought to myself, that's
Speaker 1: not good. That's not good at all. Where was the urgency?
Speaker 1: Where's the team desperate for points? Donny? Where was that
Speaker 1: team last night? I didn't see it.
Speaker 4: I'm going to disagree with you somewhat. Well. I thought
Speaker 4: they worked hard last night. Maybe there was some urgency there.
Speaker 4: We could argue that there's not enough talent, and a
Speaker 4: lot of that has to do with injuries. And look
Speaker 4: look at what's happening with their center ice position. You know,
Speaker 4: Philip Headel is out probably for the season. Elius Petterson,
Speaker 4: Lord knows when he's coming back. We don't know exactly
Speaker 4: what the injury is. They traded J. T. Miller Hoglander.
Speaker 4: Hoglander's not there. There's the skill level even versus Seattle
Speaker 4: eleven points behind it. But they looked like the seventy
Speaker 4: eight Montreal Canadians last night. There's not enough talent not
Speaker 4: I know. I know the Aviasford players have been great,
Speaker 4: relatively speaking, There's not enough talent in this organization.
Speaker 1: I'm going to fight back on you on that. They
Speaker 1: just went on a road trip and scored a ton
Speaker 1: of goals. Without all those guys.
Speaker 4: How'd they do in that road trip? Do you claim
Speaker 4: it was a great road tap? They were two? They
Speaker 4: lost four of those.
Speaker 1: Games, two to two and two on the road trip.
Speaker 4: That's four losses.
Speaker 1: Had a ton of abby guys in there, goals in
Speaker 1: the last minute twice, should have beat the Rangers. There
Speaker 1: was a lot of good other trip. Don It wasn't
Speaker 1: a horrible trip. They scored a ton of goals. Where
Speaker 1: were those guys last night that were scoring on the
Speaker 1: road trip?
Speaker 5: Do?
Speaker 4: Where were they?
Speaker 3: Rick?
Speaker 4: They're not going to make the playoffs? I know, eight
Speaker 4: points out of a playoffs, but right they're gone. It's Seber,
Speaker 4: it's over. But you're telling you that the road trip
Speaker 4: was great, and I'm telling you where were the guys
Speaker 4: last night on home ice?
Speaker 1: And that's another problem. Dodd tied with sanjose A at
Speaker 1: Chicago for the fewest home wins. That's bad. I don't
Speaker 1: know where you go, is it good or bad? Like
Speaker 1: it's bad. They're not going to make the playoffs. We
Speaker 1: know that it's over.
Speaker 4: That there's not enough talent, that management has done a
Speaker 4: poor job. This is another you know, another area of
Speaker 4: management that just has not done a great job. Let
Speaker 4: me let me go down the list here of what's
Speaker 4: happening with the injury riddled Okay, not much you could
Speaker 4: do about that. Injury injuries are gonna are gonna happen
Speaker 4: at this point. Again, the Atmosphord guys have been great,
Speaker 4: they had five or six of them in the lineup
Speaker 4: last night, but relatively speaking, no depth to take care
Speaker 4: of what's happening, especially at the center ice position. They've
Speaker 4: got an eleven point six million dollars a season star
Speaker 4: center who's injured and underachieving right bingle. They've got what
Speaker 4: looks to be a lame duck head coach who won
Speaker 4: an Adams Award last year and looks like he might
Speaker 4: be headed out the door. It's just so strange trade
Speaker 4: deadline they got UFAs brock Bester and Pugh Suiter didn't
Speaker 4: didn't and Derek Forward didn't get anything for those guys.
Speaker 4: Didn't make a move with them. I guess in the
Speaker 4: hopes that they were going to make the playoffs. Can
Speaker 4: you imagine the reaction? What you know, what the reaction
Speaker 4: is going to be if those guys leave for nothing, nothing, nothing,
Speaker 4: management group and maybe this is too close to us
Speaker 4: too worried about the media. They're too worried about what
Speaker 4: the media is thinking. With the play, better, then the
Speaker 4: media will be more positive.
Speaker 1: Twenty four to seven. They're worried about what the media
Speaker 1: is saying twenty four to seven, seven days a week.
Speaker 4: They're they're, they're and look, not just management and the organization,
Speaker 4: but the fan base is well frightened to death about
Speaker 4: what Quinn Hughes is thinking right now. That is true,
Speaker 4: and he is what he played twenty seven minutes last night,
Speaker 4: he has been just fabulous. Obviously, the skill level, the
Speaker 4: work ethic second to none. But you have to be
Speaker 4: frightened to death. I'll use that phrase again about what
Speaker 4: he is thinking at this point and percent other than that,
Speaker 4: things are pretty good.
Speaker 1: Other than that, everything's good, and Quinn Hughes, I'm missing
Speaker 1: things too, Donnie. Let's call a space of spade. Quinn
Speaker 1: Hughes is nowhere near one hundred percent. That that that
Speaker 1: poor kid, what he's gone through in the last few
Speaker 1: weeks and months, He's not one hundred percent. He's not
Speaker 1: even close to one hundred percent. But he goes out
Speaker 1: there every single night and gives it all.
Speaker 6: He's got highlights if you want to call him that, Derek,
Speaker 6: We're good rock and roll, my friend Roger's Arena, Vancouver,
Speaker 6: BC Len first period, Jake Debrusk with the giveaway to
Speaker 6: Mike Easimont.
Speaker 4: He's Kate's hand. He shoots his coats past thatcher. Dempko
Speaker 4: won nothing. Seattle. Second period crack an attack Jared McCann
Speaker 4: to Andre Brukowski all the way over to Chandler Stevenson
Speaker 4: high glove on Demco who look to be playing the past.
Speaker 4: There to nothing for the visitors from the Evergreen State
Speaker 4: and apparently Seattle book on Demko high glove from the
Speaker 4: left side Shane Wright, same thing as Stevenson's late in
Speaker 4: that middle, Stanza writes eighteenth three nothing after a deuce
Speaker 4: midway through the third krack and breakout with speed, and
Speaker 4: again it's the ex cannock Jared McCann leading the way.
Speaker 4: I'm contested. He comes up with the sweet feet to
Speaker 4: Berekovski and in breakowsky in fashion he makes it four nothing.
Speaker 4: Third assist for McCann. Rick Hackett pulled Dempko with five
Speaker 4: minutes left, and that results in this Adam Larsen on
Speaker 4: the right side making moves hits the gaping six by
Speaker 4: four as Booze rained down five to nothing final Connock's
Speaker 4: at home to Anaheim on Saturday. Here's where they're at.
Speaker 4: We went through that before the highlights. But the skill,
Speaker 4: the talent isn't there right now, even against the team
Speaker 4: like Seattle. And that has a lot to do with injuries.
Speaker 4: I understand that, but Thatcher Dempko has to stand on
Speaker 4: his head in order for them to win. He'll tell
Speaker 4: you that last night he wasn't at his best.
Speaker 1: Knocker knock three goals.
Speaker 4: He's a fantastic goaltender, but it's pretty much up to
Speaker 4: him right now in order for them or for them
Speaker 4: to win. I know there are other components, but that
Speaker 4: is the key. It wasn't there last night. Five nothing fine.
Speaker 1: First three goals, Don fourteen shots not good enough. The
Speaker 1: two that went as you mentioned, the exact left side glove.
Speaker 1: He's had better games. This team is in a position
Speaker 1: you nail. It cannot win without great goaltending. They've given
Speaker 1: up a lot of go to Columbus. Don go to
Speaker 1: Columbus seven goals. They have given up a lot of
Speaker 1: goals in the last week. Better goaltending is required.
Speaker 4: Rick Cockett post game, frustrated Rick Cockett, as you can
Speaker 4: imagine Rick Cockett talking about his team, no poise, lots
Speaker 4: of nerves.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that early on saw a lot of nervousness.
Speaker 7: You know, we had a couple of power plays with
Speaker 7: are he needs some I didn't think we had some poison.
Speaker 7: Then they got a couple of quick goals on us,
Speaker 7: and you could see guys were getting nervous chasing the game.
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I think we had some guys
Speaker 7: that really gave some effort, but I didn't think we
Speaker 7: had a lot of poise tonight.
Speaker 8: How tough is it to continue to believe? I mean,
Speaker 8: when you playing these much win situations, it's got to
Speaker 8: be emotionally exhausting.
Speaker 7: And to still believe you've got a chance when the
Speaker 7: math is bad, well, I mean, you got to believe
Speaker 7: in yourself. How do you you know, if you're struggling
Speaker 7: as a player, you got to turn your game around. You
Speaker 7: gotta believe in yourself. Plus, we got a bunch of
Speaker 7: young guys. You gotta, you know, it to them to
Speaker 7: keep pushing, and you just keep pushing. But you know,
Speaker 7: like I said, you know, you gotta I know it's
Speaker 7: the same old thing coaches say, but you got to
Speaker 7: you gotta keep getting at it, working at it. But
Speaker 7: there's some plays there and some poise stuff that we
Speaker 7: gotta you know, we just got to relax in certain situations. Intensity,
Speaker 7: but relax. There's plays there, and I just think we're
Speaker 7: not finding them, you know.
Speaker 4: He went on after that, and the guy's on six
Speaker 4: fifty Jason and Mica this morning made a point about
Speaker 4: how many times he said poise it's just not there,
Speaker 4: and again has a lot to do with you know,
Speaker 4: you know, I know it's all relative. You're in the
Speaker 4: National Lucky League. You're a tremendously talented athlete, but relatively speaking,
Speaker 4: there's not a whole lot of skill. There's whole lot
Speaker 4: of talent, whole lot of goals scoring there, especially given
Speaker 4: the injuries.
Speaker 1: Yeah, poise patient, same thing, And he's a frustrated coach
Speaker 1: right now. Don he's frustrated. There's no question in my mind,
Speaker 1: he's sitting there going, Okay, this is what I got.
Speaker 1: This is why he'd probably like to get some of
Speaker 1: those injury guys back as soon as possible, because these
Speaker 1: games mean so much. Guess what not, everyone's coming back
Speaker 1: right away.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's let's run another Rick Talcket clip here if
Speaker 4: you don't mind, Derek, This is Rick Talckett expanding on
Speaker 4: what he was talking about earlier, but his team's inability
Speaker 4: to make the most of its chances. What do we have?
Speaker 7: Seventy six shot attempts, a lot of miss nuts, block shots,
Speaker 7: the same old story. We just that's where the poise is.
Speaker 7: You know, you know the guy's gonna be in front,
Speaker 7: you gotta fake it, go around and then shoot it
Speaker 7: like these are the poised place shot attempts are. I mean,
Speaker 7: I like it, but you'd like to see more result
Speaker 7: or when you get some attempts, I thought we missed
Speaker 7: the net again. Shot location is a big thing. We've
Speaker 7: talked about being able to shoot somewhere where the goalie
Speaker 7: might give a rebound instead of missing the net and
Speaker 7: then starting to break out.
Speaker 3: So this is a but that's pois. We gotta keep
Speaker 3: working on that stuff.
Speaker 4: Talk it. And the reason I wanted to run that
Speaker 4: clip is because I think we've run a similar clip
Speaker 4: fourteen to fifteen times this year, and it's just such
Speaker 4: a simple thing and making the most of your chances
Speaker 4: and missing the net missing, you know, just as like
Speaker 4: And again, I know it's the National Hockey League. I
Speaker 4: know the game moves lightning quick. I can only imagine,
Speaker 4: you can only imagine. Most people out there can only imagine.
Speaker 4: But hitting the net is so basic, and it must
Speaker 4: be just so frustrating for him to see his team
Speaker 4: not do that. And what a difference it would make
Speaker 4: if in fact they actually they actually hit the net
Speaker 4: twenty four times. They missed the net last night.
Speaker 1: A lot of and give Seattle credit, a lot of
Speaker 1: block shots twenty nine block shots. Yeah, give Seattle credit.
Speaker 1: And when you when the other team is sacrificing and
Speaker 1: blocking shots, well, guess what, it's a real tough time
Speaker 1: to get through to the goaltender with a shot, So
Speaker 1: get the crack on some credit.
Speaker 4: It must be really disappointing for Rick Talckett. It is
Speaker 4: because you come off with that, you come off of
Speaker 4: that road trip which was so successful, you know, and
Speaker 4: you come up with an effort like that, like that
Speaker 4: must be really disappointing for you.
Speaker 1: And they had they were missing two guys last night, Seattle.
Speaker 1: Two top six wingers or sorry, top six players Schwartz
Speaker 1: and somebody DM me last yesterday. He said, oh, it's
Speaker 1: a guaranteed win night tonight. Seattle's got two guys out,
Speaker 1: two really important guys out. And I said, you know what,
Speaker 1: there is no guaranteed win night. And you know what else,
Speaker 1: A lot of guys in Seattle are playing for jobs
Speaker 1: next year. Don Canucks be doing the same thing exactly
Speaker 1: exactly and told them, Schwartz out and so Donny, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of guys on Seattle playing for jobs next year.
Speaker 1: And they looked like it last night. And Jared McCann,
Speaker 1: the former canak that third goal now the goal by
Speaker 1: uh Barakowski where he had his head up and he
Speaker 1: passed it on their oh, beautiful.
Speaker 4: Path, sure but uncontested.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the way he kept his head up and
Speaker 1: he knew he was there and he just put it
Speaker 1: right on his stick, down beautiful, beautiful path.
Speaker 4: Eleven points behind the Canucks.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, it's ridiculous. That's not
Speaker 1: the effort. Five nothing home ice lost to a non
Speaker 1: playoff team is not.
Speaker 4: I I don't. I didn't have that much. I'm I'm
Speaker 4: I'm sure I'm in the minority there. I thought their effort.
Speaker 4: You could talk about their urgency, whatever, what do you
Speaker 4: want to talk? I thought it was okay last night.
Speaker 4: There's just that they don't have the skill right now,
Speaker 4: especially with those injuries and the lack of depth and
Speaker 4: the terrible management. I mean, you.
Speaker 1: Missed the goaltending done. These guys can't win with weak goltending.
Speaker 1: They can't do it. Yeah, they can't. Last night go
Speaker 1: three unfortunate and that's rare for him. Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: And it was a one off for demgop. But my goodness,
Speaker 1: he has to be better, are you Ryan?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Swall, Swall we had time to rant a bit
Speaker 4: more here, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh, not much time. I don't want to keep far
Speaker 1: hand waiting. He gets all mad.
Speaker 9: We do have a good inbox Delaney's okay tire in
Speaker 9: Langley and all the grove inbox good. Uh, completely agree
Speaker 9: with Donnie here. Not enough talent in my opinion, the
Speaker 9: most disappointing season in the last decade. The wheels fell
Speaker 9: off early, fell off the wagon early in the season,
Speaker 9: and the Canucks ended up relying on spare tires that
Speaker 9: just couldn't get the team where they needed to go.
Speaker 9: That's downhill, Dave in Whistler, and that is kind of
Speaker 9: how I felt last night too. I was like, I
Speaker 9: can't get overly worked out, because if you just look
Speaker 9: at the roster, it's clearly obvious that there's just not enough.
Speaker 1: There's not nearly enough talent.
Speaker 4: But the real sad part is that, as Rick points out,
Speaker 4: Seattle's missed a couple of key players. Yeah, and their
Speaker 4: roster looked way much more talented than than the Connucks.
Speaker 4: It shouldn't be that way even with the injuries.
Speaker 1: But okay, but let me ask you this.
Speaker 9: Let me ask you this, Like if you say you
Speaker 9: put Peterson back in the lineup, you put Hole back
Speaker 9: in the lineup, heat back in the lineup, there's still
Speaker 9: not with everything we know about this team, it's not
Speaker 9: like there's there Oh my god, they've inserted three hundred
Speaker 9: points into the lineup. Eleven point six is underperformed.
Speaker 4: Number one he number one center is out.
Speaker 1: He don't but but but not only is he out.
Speaker 9: We know how he's played, right, Like it's two there's
Speaker 9: two steps there, right, It's not like, oh Pederson, yeah
Speaker 9: he's out and he's just been such a heartbeat.
Speaker 1: He's been up and down. Let's look at this. It
Speaker 1: is it is him at the number one center underachieving
Speaker 1: at eleven six. You mentioned eleven six, and it is
Speaker 1: them trading. They're them trading their number two center because
Speaker 1: of the number two center couldn't get a with the number.
Speaker 10: One, number one center who's number one Miller was their
Speaker 10: number one miller was number one, but they had to
Speaker 10: trade he's underachieving at eleven six and they had to
Speaker 10: trade the other guy because he couldn't get along with
Speaker 10: this guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 4: On the list.
Speaker 9: I think it goes back further than that. Like I
Speaker 9: think you gotta look back to the offseason. Look, every
Speaker 9: I said this before the show, every move they made
Speaker 9: since the loss against Edmonton was a lesser move. Like
Speaker 9: they lost They lost Mike Yo as an assistant. They
Speaker 9: replaced him with the skills coach, no disrespect. They lost
Speaker 9: Ian Clark, they replaced him with the guy in Abbotsford, Right,
Speaker 9: they lost the door off they tried with deharn A
Speaker 9: in this combination that.
Speaker 8: They had it.
Speaker 4: They had that edge that people crave in this city.
Speaker 4: Last year during the playoffs, they had swagger, they had toughness.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but their downfall, but their downfall was not scoring
Speaker 9: and they didn't do anything to address that in the
Speaker 9: offseason and that that caused problems early on this year.
Speaker 9: How many times did we talk about them having no
Speaker 9: shot through two periods this year with Miller here with Peterson.
Speaker 4: They shot, they did, and the attempts or got off?
Speaker 4: How many ups locked? How many were missed? I maybe
Speaker 4: tomorrow I want to go on a rant about and
Speaker 4: I think this thing goes way back and when when
Speaker 4: this management group first got here. Well there's that too,
Speaker 4: uh before they started with the carnival wheel at the draft.
Speaker 4: We also want to talk about Rick Talktt pulling the goaltender.
Speaker 4: We'll do that as as the day goes on. Rick
Speaker 4: talk pulling Dempco with five minutes left down for nothing.
Speaker 4: Some people had a problem with that. Here's what else
Speaker 4: is coming up on the show, and we've got lots
Speaker 4: of response in the delaying top uh DTMZ Is it
Speaker 4: just me coming up in the eleven o'clock hour? Cheach
Speaker 4: John Garrett he joined us last year when we were
Speaker 4: doing the postgame shows during the playoffs. I don't think
Speaker 4: that's going to happen this time around. So John Garrett
Speaker 4: teach is going to join us just after eleven o'clock
Speaker 4: longtime Conduck analyst, NHL goaltender for Ranhill goaltender Big Ride
Speaker 4: the Quitter Guy later this hour, and we also also
Speaker 4: mentioned we've had a lot of requests for this and
Speaker 4: given the results, the result of last night and the
Speaker 4: Canucks where they stand draft lottery simulator, gotta do, we're
Speaker 4: gonna have time for that. I think. So they're done,
Speaker 4: They're done, it's over. You mentioned this farhand lalgy tsn
Speaker 4: next he was at the game last night. Donnie Dolly

Speaker 4: got so many submissions. It's hopping in the Delaney's OK
Speaker 4: tire and Langley and Aldergrove inbox day from Klona just
Speaker 4: before we get the four farhand. This is what I
Speaker 4: was hinting at in the first segment, and I've wondered
Speaker 4: about this for a while. But Dave from Colonna echoing
Speaker 4: my sentiments, well, not echoing because he didn't hear my sentiments.
Speaker 4: These are his. Where would the team be if they
Speaker 4: kept Horvat and traded Miller, Horvat and eleven six got
Speaker 4: along right again? That's Dave from Colonna. That's an interesting
Speaker 4: topic of discussion, Donnie.
Speaker 1: Not only did they get rid of Horvat, they signed
Speaker 1: two guys that don't like each other too long term deals. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they knew at the time they signed Miller that Miller
Speaker 1: and Patterson weren't getting along.
Speaker 4: Remember Brad richardson his broad he was on that team
Speaker 4: back then and he said, you got to do something
Speaker 4: about this. So it's been festering for a long time.
Speaker 4: So horrible. What did they do? They unload Horvat, who's
Speaker 4: having a very strong season. He'd be tops among Kinnock
Speaker 4: forwards if he was still with the Caducks, who's having
Speaker 4: a very solid season for the New York Onolanders for
Speaker 4: a hand Lawsey. He joins us now in the wake
Speaker 4: of the Canucks five nothing lost. Yeattle, thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 8: I am good, you know, And whenever you kind of
Speaker 8: bring that topic back up on the Horrorvat front, it
Speaker 8: warms my heart because we know that's when all of
Speaker 8: this started.
Speaker 3: And I remember everybody trying to dunk on.
Speaker 8: Me when you know, I discussed locker room issues and
Speaker 8: you know last year because the team made the playoffs,
Speaker 8: and and you know, we were at it this year
Speaker 8: and Rick, You're right, like they were this close, like
Speaker 8: this close to getting the Horvat deal done, this close,
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden ultimatums. They pivoted quick
Speaker 8: and within a week JT. Miller was signed and later
Speaker 8: that year bo Horvat had had to go right.
Speaker 3: And you know it's.
Speaker 8: When when you talk about what this room could be now, uh,
Speaker 8: and just what the culture of this room could be. Now,
Speaker 8: I'll tell you what, Bull Horvat is a Rick Talcket
Speaker 8: type of player, and Rick Talkeett didn't get an opportunity
Speaker 8: to get to know him that well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, when the Canucks played them during that very
Speaker 4: successful road trip, Rick was talking about it. I thought
Speaker 4: Horvat stuck out like a sore thumb in a very
Speaker 4: good way. So for the Canucks at least, Okay, last
Speaker 4: thing was that just more about the talent on the
Speaker 4: ice than anything else.
Speaker 8: For Inn, No, they just they just know right, Like look,
Speaker 8: it's not like Seattle is loaded, it's not like Seattle's
Speaker 8: overly talented. I just think the Canucks, you know, subconsciously,
Speaker 8: I think they're trying to say the right things. I
Speaker 8: think they're to a point trying to do the right things.
Speaker 8: But I think they know right. And you know, when
Speaker 8: you're Seattle, you knew weeks ago and so now you've
Speaker 8: kind of decompartmentalized that and you know, put that aside.
Speaker 8: Now you're just playing right and you know, the whole
Speaker 8: thing about professionalism and all of that, you know, that's
Speaker 8: kicking in and they're doing what they can. And these
Speaker 8: are certainly empty calorie games for a team like that
Speaker 8: as well. But from a Canucks standpoint, I think right
Speaker 8: now they're going through the.
Speaker 3: Realization that it's over.
Speaker 8: And I think we've seen it for a couple of games,
Speaker 8: right like since that Columbus loss, and you know, Winnipeg
Speaker 8: they were outmatch that was a talent thing.
Speaker 3: But last night I think they know right.
Speaker 8: I mean, Quinn Hughes talked about the fact they're looking
Speaker 8: at the standings every single day and what that means is,
Speaker 8: whether you play or not, you're losing every day because
Speaker 8: Saint Louis is winning every day and the teams around
Speaker 8: you know, Minnesota is doing their part, Calgary is doing
Speaker 8: doing its part, and so you're losing every day whether
Speaker 8: you're playing or not. And then the realization of that issue.
Speaker 8: I think the last you know, maybe five games, the
Speaker 8: conduct will probably give us a much better effort because
Speaker 8: they'll have gone past that moment but right now they're
Speaker 8: right in the middle of that moments.
Speaker 4: What's your gut feeling. I've probably asked you this a
Speaker 4: million times, but that's what we do on this show.
Speaker 4: What's your gut feeling on Rick Talcket and his future?
Speaker 8: I think eventually they'll find some common ground and Rick
Speaker 8: will be extended, you know. I know the reports, you know,
Speaker 8: drantser initially and then and then I think Elliott after
Speaker 8: talking about how the Caducks are prepared to let Rick
Speaker 8: Talckett coach next year on the option, well that might
Speaker 8: be the case, but I don't think Rick Tockett's going
Speaker 8: to do that, right. I think it's naive to suggest
Speaker 8: he's just going to step in, you know, if they
Speaker 8: can't get to a reasonable place in terms of dollar
Speaker 8: term and future direction, and they still decide that, you know,
Speaker 8: we're gonna hold you in here for a year as
Speaker 8: a lame duck coach. I think Rick Talckett resigns and
Speaker 8: goes to television, right, Like they can prevent them from
Speaker 8: coaching elsewhere, but they can't force him to coach here.
Speaker 8: And so yeah, I think it's naive. So I think
Speaker 8: they're gonna find a way to extend him. But within that,
Speaker 8: I think the real conversations that have to happen are,
Speaker 8: what are you gonna do about this team?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 8: Because let's say it's a three year extension at four
Speaker 8: million a year For the sake of argument, clearly I'm
Speaker 8: not an agent, sorry, Rick, but you you know, the
Speaker 8: real questions are going to become, what are you gonna
Speaker 8: do with this roster?
Speaker 3: Right? What are you gonna do with Peterson? Is he back?
Speaker 8: If he's back, do I want to be back? And
Speaker 8: if he's back, what conditions? You know, not contractually but
Speaker 8: just kind of in other ways, say, look, you need
Speaker 8: to do this, this, and this to show up to
Speaker 8: training camp in order for us to believe we can get.
Speaker 3: The best out of you. Otherwise we're gonna trade you.
Speaker 8: And so those conversations have to be had with Rick Talkett,
Speaker 8: how are you gonna address the second line center? What
Speaker 8: can we do culturally? Because I think Rick Talkett has
Speaker 8: those concerns about where this organization and where this roster
Speaker 8: is at. So what can we do to fix a
Speaker 8: lot of different issues because if not, I don't if
Speaker 8: I want to be here? Right, And that's that's kind
Speaker 8: of what it comes down to you. I think Rick
Speaker 8: Talkin wants to be here, but he also wants to
Speaker 8: be told that some of the right things are going
Speaker 8: to happen so that he's in a position to have
Speaker 8: some success. And those are big questions beyond dollars in term.
Speaker 1: Well another big I don't get the feeling that Peterson
Speaker 1: is a talking type guy. I just don't get that
Speaker 1: feeling there. And he's locked up for seven more years
Speaker 1: after this season, you know, well, you know he's got
Speaker 1: a centerman locked up for seven more years. I don't
Speaker 1: get the feeling that's his type of guy that he
Speaker 1: could win with him. But that's another issue for another day.
Speaker 8: Well, like, it's probably the first issue Rick, right, Like,
Speaker 8: you know, before you sign, you need to know what
Speaker 8: you're going to do, and like, can the organization sit
Speaker 8: down with Peterson and say, look, you know, and I'm
Speaker 8: just spitballing ideas. I'm not suggesting this is the solution,
Speaker 8: but you're not going back to Sweden. You're staying here
Speaker 8: and you're working with our staff all off season and
Speaker 8: you're going to fix your preparational You need to commit
Speaker 8: to coming into camp up prepared at the level of
Speaker 8: my expectation, right if I'm Rick talking like, because they've
Speaker 8: they've had that concern. And Peterson talked about how last
Speaker 8: year the residual effects of his knee tendonitis and all
Speaker 8: of that affected his ability to prepare.
Speaker 3: Now what's he dealing with, right like? Upper body injury?
Speaker 8: You know, let's say for the sake of argument, he's
Speaker 8: reaggravated his rist injury.
Speaker 3: So you know, what's that going to look like? Is
Speaker 3: that going to affect his preparation this offseason?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 8: I want to know that I'm going to get the
Speaker 8: best out of him, and and the best may no
Speaker 8: longer be one hundred point guy, right Like, he may
Speaker 8: be one of those guys that signed the big contract
Speaker 8: and now he's less than motivated. And when I when
Speaker 8: we saw the low ebb of Petterson, you know, I've
Speaker 8: said I came on this show and said, I don't
Speaker 8: think he's ever going to be that guy. You know,
Speaker 8: he's probably he's a seventy point player in Vancouver. Maybe
Speaker 8: if he gets traded, he's an eighty point player elsewhere.
Speaker 8: Did the last two weeks before the injury show us
Speaker 8: that he could be more? Did the last two weeks
Speaker 8: before the injuries show. Rick talkt that maybe we can
Speaker 8: work this out between us. I don't know, but those
Speaker 8: conversations have to happen with Petterson. They've got to be
Speaker 8: letally sure. Like before his forty goal season, what was
Speaker 8: one of the biggest things.
Speaker 3: Brock Besser did.
Speaker 8: He changed his preparation, stopped playing in the Beauty League
Speaker 8: and just committed a little bit more to his fitness
Speaker 8: and came into camp in good shape and it led
Speaker 8: to a forty goal season. Like, can they make those
Speaker 8: demands of a player like Patterson? Because Rick Tawkin's entire
Speaker 8: ability to succeed here will start there with that player.
Speaker 1: If I was the Canocks out Sam Peterson to Bally
Speaker 1: or wherever that deck who's makeaway that worked out.
Speaker 3: With dumbbells with dumbbells and a trainer.
Speaker 1: Set up to Bally? Let him have a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks there, get chape. Okay, listen, The CFL has got
Speaker 1: a new commissioner, Stuart Johnson, comes from Television TSM president.
Speaker 1: They did this, old boss, what do you say, boss?
Speaker 1: Hold in a second. They did this a few years
Speaker 1: ago with the CBC guy and it didn't work out.
Speaker 4: Poor entirely. George entirely George Range, Jeffrey or George.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did this with Orange. It didn't work out.
Speaker 8: Yeah, But but Orange wasn't involved in in the CFL
Speaker 8: negotiations with the league.
Speaker 3: He had no idea how the CFL worked.
Speaker 8: Right, You know New York guy that came in and yeah,
Speaker 8: he had a bit of background at the CBC, but
Speaker 8: he wasn't an executive that had any idea of how
Speaker 8: the league operated, right.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a new thing for the CFL.
Speaker 8: Because I do understands the league and its principles intimately.
Speaker 8: He knows who the guys are, he knows where the
Speaker 8: bodies are buried. He knows how this league operates. He
Speaker 8: certainly knows what TSN and Bell have to offer and
Speaker 8: how they could potentially do this. He knows the trends
Speaker 8: of the industry. One of the things that you know
Speaker 8: in his own career, he's not just TSN anymore. He
Speaker 8: became Bell's senior VP in charge of all content, right,
Speaker 8: so whether it was CTV News, whether it was Crave,
Speaker 8: you know a number of different platforms. So he really
Speaker 8: knows where the industry is headed. I think he's innovative.
Speaker 8: I think he's a really good leader.
Speaker 3: You know, I can.
Speaker 8: He's my former boss now, so I don't have to
Speaker 8: say this anymore. You know, even Randy and Brosie. Randy
Speaker 8: played in the league, but Randy was about twenty years
Speaker 8: removed from really having any kind of aunderstanding of the
Speaker 8: league business.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 8: He was involved in the markets and had good financial background.
Speaker 8: But Stuke comes into this with less of a learning
Speaker 8: curve and knowing, you know what the league has been
Speaker 8: trying for years, what has worked, what hasn't worked, the
Speaker 8: Genius deal.
Speaker 3: He's gotten to know the.
Speaker 8: New owners, so I think he can hit the ground
Speaker 8: running and is going to have some pretty good ideas
Speaker 8: of where to go next.
Speaker 4: And if it wasn't for Stewart, we wouldn't be here
Speaker 4: at Zeck. So we appreciate that.
Speaker 3: Well said.
Speaker 4: Well said, no, hold on, Fred, before you go here,
Speaker 4: you see kicking me off? Okay, no, no, no, before
Speaker 4: you go here, you said that you said on this
Speaker 4: show in the past that they should have kept more
Speaker 4: of that, and that Pederson and that Pederson isn't at
Speaker 4: one hundred point, I don't remember you saying those things.
Speaker 8: Come I have said this like when he was well,
Speaker 8: were you guys even on two years ago got trained,
Speaker 8: Yes on the Pederson thing when he was at his
Speaker 8: low ebb, like you know, two months ago.
Speaker 3: For the sake of argument, you.
Speaker 8: Know, I use the term that I think he can
Speaker 8: be a coach killer, and I wonder if he'll ever
Speaker 8: be able to function back to the level that he
Speaker 8: was at before in Vancouver, because there is noise around him, right,
Speaker 8: and a lot of it is self created, I believe,
Speaker 8: because he probably pays too much attention or has people
Speaker 8: around him that pay too much attention to social media
Speaker 8: and what's going on in that side of the marketplace.
Speaker 8: But so I didn't know if he'd ever get it
Speaker 8: back because it was thirteen months of just black hole
Speaker 8: thirteen months, So to me, that's pretty long sample size.
Speaker 3: And so could he be better elsewhere than he is here? Yes?
Speaker 8: Could he ever be to one hundred point player again,
Speaker 8: regardless of where he is, I don't know. And you know,
Speaker 8: when what we saw in the two weeks before the
Speaker 8: injury was positive. It wasn't one hundred point pd, but
Speaker 8: it was better than we'd seen for the previous thirteen months.
Speaker 3: But you know, I have questioned.
Speaker 8: Whether he could get it back to that level that
Speaker 8: player that we saw a year and a half ago,
Speaker 8: you know, during his hundred point season.
Speaker 3: Can he get that back here? I don't know. Can
Speaker 3: Rick Talcket pull that out of him? I don't know.
Speaker 8: You know, we saw a bit of a mia culpa
Speaker 8: and a and a maturing come to Jesus moment when
Speaker 8: he kind of admitted some things right uh, you know.
Speaker 3: To the media. And it's not again, it's not about
Speaker 3: the media.
Speaker 8: It's just his own ability to reflect and whether or
Speaker 8: not that leads to some some material change and his
Speaker 8: preparation and his approach to all of it.
Speaker 3: You know, we'll see. But I have said some of
Speaker 3: those things on this show. Darn right. I go back Henderson,
Speaker 3: look at the tapes. It's there. We're going we posted it.
Speaker 4: We're going into the Donnie and Dolly library. Okay, next
Speaker 4: week we'll confront you with.
Speaker 1: It, making up stuff as usual, making up stuff.
Speaker 3: Making up stuff. Look the receed the receipts can be saved.
Speaker 4: Nope, and we'll say hi to stew for you.
Speaker 8: Thanks for I don't know if I don't know if
Speaker 8: he'll come on your show.
Speaker 1: Damn right to you.
Speaker 4: Bill, Ryan doesn't want to have him on the show.
Speaker 4: That's a long story.
Speaker 3: Thanks, that's awesome. I'll see you guys. Letter.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it. Okay, we're way over time. Connacks is
Speaker 4: five nothing to the Kraken last night, we're going to
Speaker 4: introduce the pull question has to do with the Caducks.
Speaker 4: That's next, Donnie Delly the team one job.
Speaker 1: The Bayside Resort is a bootique luxury resort like no other.
Speaker 1: Nestled on the bluff above beautiful Parksville Beach, this beautiful
Speaker 1: ocean front property prides themselves on offering a uncompromising fusion
Speaker 1: of West Coast authenticity and bespoke luxury. Their guests have

Speaker 1: choice any time of the year. It's called two five, zero,
Speaker 1: two four eight eight, triple three and fuck your state today.
Speaker 4: Wadling Dog poll question. Visit one of Victoria's favorite pubs,
Speaker 4: the Waddling Dog, where you could enjoy twenty taps and
Speaker 4: twenty screens. You're home for the Canucks in UFC. Come
Speaker 4: sit and stay at the Dog today.
Speaker 1: Rick all right, Ron, get her up the Waddling Dog
Speaker 1: pop pole question, and it is which season is the
Speaker 1: blip season for the Canucks last year or this season?
Speaker 1: And leading the way is last year fifty three percent,
Speaker 1: this season eight and twenty one votes already, So there
Speaker 1: you go. It was last year where they won the division,
Speaker 1: went to two rounds Game seven Edmonton out of the blue,
Speaker 1: and because they fired the coach not long before that
Speaker 1: season and everything went right last year, everything is going
Speaker 1: wrong this year. Donny.
Speaker 4: We have to think, given you know their history going
Speaker 4: back ten to eleven years, that last season was the
Speaker 4: blip season. Well, I am surprised it's this close. Well
Speaker 4: after the bubble.
Speaker 1: Year in Edmonton, they have really not done anything other
Speaker 1: than last year, you know.
Speaker 4: So, and the bubble situation, the Bubble Playoff was such
Speaker 4: such a strange situation. By the way, bull heard that
Speaker 4: was very good in that big time in that bubble
Speaker 4: a postseason. It was. It was really a blip. You
Speaker 4: look at this team's playoff history and it's inability to
Speaker 4: get into the playoffs since what since twenty fifth fourteen?
Speaker 4: Gil is getting let go. Incomes Benning and outgoes Benning.
Speaker 4: It comes this regime, it's bleak. So like I gotta
Speaker 4: think that, and I know the characters are changed, but
Speaker 4: it looks like last season was the one hundred and
Speaker 4: nine points.
Speaker 1: They won the division. They you know, two rounds of
Speaker 1: Game seven, that Game seven could have gone either way.
Speaker 1: Besser was missing, Dempko was missing, and they did most
Speaker 1: of the.
Speaker 4: Playoffs three two in that series against two.
Speaker 1: The Miller scores late in Game six and you know
Speaker 1: you're thinking only smokes roped to the Western Conference Final.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were again up it was Game five, but
Speaker 4: up up three to two in that in that series.
Speaker 4: Just it's just hard to believe. I think the one
Speaker 4: thing people haven't brought up a lot is that going
Speaker 4: into this season, I don't think there was any short
Speaker 4: and I think you were like this talking about this
Speaker 4: sort of thing. So as far ahead, people talking about
Speaker 4: the Canucks being Stanley Cup contenders. Elliott Elliott It wasn't
Speaker 4: just Al, it was me too. It was everybody.
Speaker 1: They're gonna win the Cup. Ryan was planning that they're
Speaker 1: gonna win the Cup. That's what people were saying in
Speaker 1: July and August, and at the very least Cup contender, tenders,
Speaker 1: at the very least win the division. Again, all these
Speaker 1: sports and at TSN guys, Canucks are going to do
Speaker 1: really well. Well, boy did they not.
Speaker 4: We talked in the first segment about being frightened to death,
Speaker 4: the Canuck organization and the Knuck fan base being frightened
Speaker 4: to death about what Quinn he was just thinking right now.
Speaker 4: His contract is up in a couple of years. He's
Speaker 4: put this team on his back and his shoulders and
Speaker 4: every other injured part of his body, and he has
Speaker 4: been he has been outstanding, one of the best players
Speaker 4: in the league. But he's a UFA in a couple
Speaker 4: of years, and you can't help but think he's looking
Speaker 4: around and thinking to himself, Man, this is a mess.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I want to be here anymore.
Speaker 4: And my brothers are with a new Jersey team that
Speaker 4: seems to be on the rise. They've had their injury
Speaker 4: problems this season. I get that, but there's all this
Speaker 4: all sorts of speculation. Quinn Hughes though, as it stands,
Speaker 4: captain of the Vancouver Canucks, and again he has been outstanding.
Speaker 4: This is him postgame last night after they five nothing
Speaker 4: lost to Seattle, talking about how the Canucks and coming
Speaker 4: off this sixth game road trip the Canucks cannot use
Speaker 4: and playing important game after important game, Cannucks cannot use
Speaker 4: fatigue as an excuse.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 12: I'm not going to comment on, you know, guys being
Speaker 12: mentally tired or physically tired. I think that you if
Speaker 12: you went around the league, everyone would say that they're
Speaker 12: mentally tired, if you know, especially the guys that played
Speaker 12: at four Nations. So I don't know how many guys
Speaker 12: on our team.
Speaker 1: We have.
Speaker 12: Lincoln and Impede and that's really it. So I don't
Speaker 12: think there should be any excuses.
Speaker 3: For that. Playing what it feels like that does game seven.
Speaker 12: It's that tense and intense, because that's just reality. I mean,
Speaker 12: if you ask Saint Louis Blues if they're mentally tired
Speaker 12: from playing Game seven's every other night trying to win.
Speaker 12: They won ten in arrows, so they're not using it
Speaker 12: as an excuse. They're just playing good hockey.
Speaker 4: That's a great clip, yeap, that, that's a great clip.
Speaker 4: It's you know, the games are coming fast and furious,
Speaker 4: after four Nations forever, you're playing important game after an
Speaker 4: important game, and the Blues seem to be fine with it,
Speaker 4: and you can argue about them being a better hockey team.
Speaker 4: But that that He's right. You can't use that as an.
Speaker 1: Excuse, Donnie. Not this July first, but the following July first.
Speaker 1: The Canucks can start talks with Hughes on a new
Speaker 1: deal this summer. In this offseason, they have no margin
Speaker 1: for air, because what they produce on the next year
Speaker 1: and how they do next year will play a big
Speaker 1: part in Quinn Hughes's decision to stay or goal. He's
Speaker 1: a UFA. He's worked hard all his life and if
Speaker 1: he decides he wants to go to New Jersey to
Speaker 1: play with his brothers, he wants to be closer to
Speaker 1: home in Detroit. He's a Michigan you know, Toronto guy.
Speaker 1: He grew up in the book Better this summer. These
Speaker 1: guys cannot have any day. Arnais sprongs what was the
Speaker 1: other one? Heiden's the margin for air because when they
Speaker 1: start next season, Quinn Hughes, the clock starts because it
Speaker 1: is next July. First he can signed an extension. Everything
Speaker 1: they do from here on forward has got to be
Speaker 1: with his keep an eye on him, and keep an
Speaker 1: eye on him and keep him long term.
Speaker 4: That well, okay, that includes Rick Tockett, Yes, and Quen.
Speaker 4: He's gone pro wresser quick.
Speaker 1: Quinn.
Speaker 4: He's has gone on record, he's the best coach he
Speaker 4: he's ever played for.
Speaker 3: Rick.
Speaker 4: If you're getting the sense that Quinn Hughes doesn't want
Speaker 4: to stick around, that is very frustrated.
Speaker 1: They'll know next your life.
Speaker 4: First you trade him, yep?
Speaker 1: Well, or dude, does he ask for a trade and
Speaker 1: just get it over with and move me on. I mean,
Speaker 1: it could happen both ways, but.
Speaker 4: I I it might be as strange as this may sound,
Speaker 4: that it might be the best thing for the organization.
Speaker 4: You might end up, you know, trading him under desperate circumstances.
Speaker 4: We're losing him, losing him for nothing, and then you
Speaker 4: start my long await for a rebuild.
Speaker 1: There also needs to be a limit to how much
Speaker 1: we're appeasing Quinn Hughes here. He's not a superstar. He's
Speaker 1: a franchise player. He's one of the top five players
Speaker 1: in the world. I'm not doubting the world. I'm not
Speaker 1: doubting any of that, Rick, But you'd be open to
Speaker 1: trading him? No, no, but so his his buddy's brock Besser.
Speaker 9: Like you say, like his buddy's brock bess Sure, great,
Speaker 9: but I'm not gonna give brock Besser eight.
Speaker 1: Years times eight million. No, I'm not saying that.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 9: No, but that's what I worry about because it's so
Speaker 9: much like oh yeah, talk it, you know.
Speaker 1: We worry because he says he's.
Speaker 9: His favorite coach and I was okay, but like what
Speaker 9: if you do these things and then the next year
Speaker 9: but next year's still a tire fire and he still goes, yeah,
Speaker 9: this ain't for me.
Speaker 1: This market, everything about it is just not right. I'm out.
Speaker 9: Well, now you've committed to these other pieces, Like I
Speaker 9: don't get me wrong, he's your captain. He's done more
Speaker 9: for this franchise more than any coach, any management, any
Speaker 9: player has done since he's been here.
Speaker 1: But you can't. I don't think you can trip all
Speaker 1: over yourself and say yes, I think everything you think
Speaker 1: he likes in the hope that he stays here.
Speaker 4: And I like you, if you get the feeling's unhappy,
Speaker 4: you have to be open to trading him. You mentioned
Speaker 4: he's a captain. We talked earlier they traded a captain Bullrvayeah.
Speaker 4: Looking back, they probably shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 9: Well, the the bottom line is, and maybe they'll never
Speaker 9: learn because they seemingly haven't. You can't keep doing these
Speaker 9: things if a guy's in the last year of his
Speaker 9: you know, and this this dominant conversation looms over an
Speaker 9: entire seats. You did it all year last year with
Speaker 9: Petterson before he signed. You've done it all this year
Speaker 9: we besser and talking, and you did it with Miller
Speaker 9: before he signed, And like the organization just continues to
Speaker 9: keep doing this and just you just that just surrounds
Speaker 9: your season.
Speaker 1: They knew at the time of the Miller signing and
Speaker 1: trading Horbat that Miller and Peterson were getting along. That's
Speaker 1: what kills. We've talked the shocking signed two guys that
Speaker 1: don't get along the long term.
Speaker 4: Deals and I know people, We've had a couple of
Speaker 4: people Delaney's in box saying, well, you guys are all
Speaker 4: for that that this guys, the management group is supposed
Speaker 4: to know more about hockey and know more about the
Speaker 4: room and what's going on on the ice than than
Speaker 4: we are.
Speaker 1: They knew that Petterson and Miller didn't get along, and
Speaker 1: they signed both extensions long term.
Speaker 4: And look look where they are now. Okay, John Garrett's
Speaker 4: going to join us at the top of the hour

Speaker 9: It was unfortunate that Brian white shocker he got the
Speaker 9: white Caps goal. They almost got another one the white
Speaker 9: Caps did in the death in extra time. Uh, Whuma's
Speaker 9: getting that road goal is going to be big for them.
Speaker 9: So the next leg of this Conca CAFF champions Cup
Speaker 9: is going April the ninth, next Wednesday, back in Mexico.
Speaker 9: The winner that advances out of this we talked about this.
Speaker 9: The winner that advances will go on to face either
Speaker 9: La f or into Miami FC. So I mean again,
Speaker 9: the white Caps, they're a bit of an uphill climb
Speaker 9: going to Mexico, but they've done it before, they've gone
Speaker 9: down there and they've won. So we'll see what happens
Speaker 9: in the next Like next Wednesday, they're back in action.

Speaker 1: And to make fun of John Wayne. He was making
Speaker 1: fun of Joe oh, I know, but he just brushed
Speaker 1: it aside. John Wayne was the best of all time.
Speaker 1: I don't doubt that.
Speaker 9: Eh, they don't named it. He was so big they
Speaker 9: named an airport after in Anaheim. Yeah, they don't make
Speaker 9: westerns really anymore. I guess Yellowstone is a Western. Yeah,
Speaker 9: but that's a show, not a movie.
Speaker 4: Current Western. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, the show's current, but it's
Speaker 4: sah I watched four episodes. I was bored stiff.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll get to our good pal Al Chris Manson On.
Speaker 1: He's the expert. Westerns are great young guns just coming out.
Speaker 1: They're making another.
Speaker 4: One unforgiveness of outstanding.

Speaker 4: Be done good to bad in the Italy. Oh cool, Okay,
Speaker 4: hold on.
Speaker 1: Moving on here. Last night big news as as that's
Speaker 1: my transition for today.
Speaker 9: If you missed the end of yesterday's show, Donnie mentioned
Speaker 9: number five Orange and Dolly what.
Speaker 1: Was very excited by that. And by the way, the
Speaker 1: folks at number five did respond to us on Twitter saying,
Speaker 1: you know, they've got those front row seats available for you, guys,
Speaker 1: row front row, front row at the number five Orange.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you've been there before.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 1: In the eighties we used to hop in the Impaula
Speaker 1: from New West and make the trek.
Speaker 4: Out hopping in the Poula. What does that mean exactly?
Speaker 1: Well, that, Donny. The Impala was big, like there was
Speaker 1: chairman car, the car, the car College. Not on the
Speaker 1: Paula the animal, but the car. We'd hop in the
Speaker 1: car Paula Animal, Paula.
Speaker 4: It's like a gazelle.
Speaker 1: The horse.
Speaker 4: It's like deer. I never heard of that. You don't
Speaker 4: know what an impula is, No, I've never heard of this.
Speaker 9: I thought you were mixing up at Lama, to be honest,
Speaker 9: when you first said that the impula in the eighties
Speaker 9: was like the love boat.
Speaker 4: It was Huget like forty guys, like a Pontiac Parisiana,
Speaker 4: same thing, you know, Block Long. Yeah, I'm gonna look
Speaker 4: up in Paula. Do you think? Okay?
Speaker 9: Last night, uh Ovechkin in Carolina last with the Capitalist
Speaker 9: gets one goal closer Chaker.
Speaker 1: He got it from his office and shocker, they were
Speaker 1: on the power play when he ripped this thing home.
Speaker 1: So one goal closer.
Speaker 9: He's three away now from breaking way Gretzky's record. I
Speaker 9: saw ted Ley Owtsis was in the crowd last night
Speaker 9: to the Capitols owner Gary Beman in the crowd Ovechkin's family.
Speaker 1: I didn't see Wayne.
Speaker 9: I know now he's supposed to be traveling with him
Speaker 9: as he gets closer to breaking the record, he better
Speaker 9: be traveling starting the next game, because now a hat
Speaker 9: trick that's with Then.
Speaker 4: Why don't you just you advised Wayne gretz He had
Speaker 4: some advice for him during the Four Nations and now
Speaker 4: you have more?
Speaker 1: Why are you just Oh no, are you not a
Speaker 1: little surprise? Are you not a little surprise?
Speaker 4: He was a notable absence in that suite.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I just would have assumed, because like he could do
Speaker 9: something nuts, maybe he could have gone four goals in
Speaker 9: a game or something.
Speaker 4: He's busy. Yeah, well, Gorny Howe was there when Wayne
Speaker 4: was breaking his record.
Speaker 9: Wayne's probably in the Oval office advising the president. Oh wow,
Speaker 9: here's a stat from Sportsnet host David Amber.
Speaker 1: How about this.
Speaker 9: Gretzky fourteen eighty seven, that's the amount of games eight
Speaker 9: hundred ninety four goals. Okay, fourteen eighty seven, Ovechkin.
Speaker 1: Fourteen eighty five.
Speaker 9: For games eight hundred and ninety two goals and three
Speaker 9: away from breaking he could break his record, Wayne's record
Speaker 9: in less games.
Speaker 4: I'm not like, but you could from anybody, including you
Speaker 4: younger folk like you. I don't want to have anybody
Speaker 4: comparing O to Gretzky. I know you can't stand Gretzky
Speaker 4: because you know, apparently his politics don't match up with yours.
Speaker 4: There's no comparison between the two players.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. Ovechkin's way more impressive. Go look at
Speaker 1: Gretzky's assist Tom Yeah, look at the goaltenders wing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking to goals think that, are you kid?
Speaker 4: It's not even close? Ryan, Ryan, take a look. Are
Speaker 4: you like you're looking so bad?
Speaker 1: No, I'm not.
Speaker 9: You are right, it's way harder to score now than
Speaker 9: it was back in the eighties.
Speaker 4: But I'm talking about as a player as a whole.
Speaker 9: But I'm talking statistically with this goal record, this goal record,
Speaker 9: can I finish?
Speaker 3: Wayne?
Speaker 4: Gretzky has more assists than any other player has points.
Speaker 4: It's one of the most impressive artistics in the world
Speaker 4: of sports, not just hockey.
Speaker 1: But I'm not talking about that in.
Speaker 4: Between the two players.
Speaker 1: But we're not talking.
Speaker 9: We're not talking about that. I'm talking about his goalscoring record.
Speaker 9: His goal scoring record will be way more impressive than Wayne's.
Speaker 9: He's on the It's harder to score when goal look
Speaker 9: at the days. Hold it go look at the ten
Speaker 9: worst teams in the NHL right now and tell me
Speaker 9: going into Chicago and San Jose is not easy to
Speaker 9: score goals.
Speaker 4: Come on, I will give you this. Ovech Kind was
Speaker 4: part of an era where the the checking was a
Speaker 4: lot tighter. Yes, but back in the eighties you also
Speaker 4: had and I know he had Samenco and mc surley
Speaker 4: around the game, but it was it was a war.
Speaker 9: Sure was more physical game, but I mean you look
Speaker 9: at a lot of the highlights of the goaltenders that
Speaker 9: Wayne Gretzky was scoring on. I'm sorry, it's way harder.
Speaker 9: He was obviously a dominant athlete of his time.
Speaker 4: I guess I'm talking about for okay goals, it's arguable
Speaker 4: over all, not close.
Speaker 9: Sure again, I mean you guys bring up the points.
Speaker 9: I mean, that's gonna be. That's an untouchable wreck. Great goaltender,
Speaker 9: John Garrett, he's next to Donny No Gretzky the team
Speaker 9: on Check.
Speaker 4: Hey everyone, it's Donnie and Dolly and we're looking to
Speaker 4: partner with your company.

Speaker 4: April seventh, seven pm at the Vancouver Giants dot com
Speaker 4: to purchase your tickets. Kind of exclues five nothing last
Speaker 4: night's Seattle at Rogers Arenaver joined out to talk about that.
Speaker 4: Another Matters Hockey by Cheech John Garrett, longtime hockey analyst,
Speaker 4: longtime National Hockey League goaltender. How are you, sir, I'm good.
Speaker 13: I'm good.
Speaker 4: Yes, that.
Speaker 5: It's amazing the Giants one because after Game two I thought, okay,
Speaker 5: they're completely over the shots. In Game two there's like
Speaker 5: sixty against and they've just got smoked.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and then they go down and win.
Speaker 4: So they did have a good third period that in
Speaker 4: that game too, so that obviously they built on that,
Speaker 4: but heavy underdogs in that series. Ryan was saying something
Speaker 4: about a team counter to Jersey or yes.
Speaker 5: Here we are, and the tariffs and all that kind
Speaker 5: of stuff. The stock market just crashing, all that sort
Speaker 5: of stuff. I can't remember which I was World Championships three.
Speaker 13: Times so.
Speaker 4: Very much.
Speaker 1: What year?
Speaker 13: What year that one was? I think that was eighty one,
Speaker 13: but I'm not sure. Anyway, beautiful, it's old, it's old.
Speaker 4: Those are under I remember those uniforms. Those are underrated
Speaker 4: Team Canada uniforms with a multi colored leaf. That must
Speaker 4: have been I kind of liked it.
Speaker 5: I remember in nineteen seventy seven, Mark Napier and I
Speaker 5: were the token wha guys and the World Championship, and
Speaker 5: so I got over there.
Speaker 13: They got my name spelled wrong in the back.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 13: Oh, you know you're a start when well.
Speaker 4: John, but you've got company. I remember the Rangers misspelling
Speaker 4: Gretzky on the back of his ninety nine jersey for
Speaker 4: one game. Oh my goodness. Man, Hey, speaking of which,
Speaker 4: did you ever think you'd see anybody? And I don't
Speaker 4: know what your experience was against Wayne Gretzky. But but
Speaker 4: did you ever think you'd see anybody break his goalscoring record,
Speaker 4: which is going to happen. No, No, And.
Speaker 5: The era that Gretzky play in and all those scores
Speaker 5: that were ridiculous and the Oilers getting four hundred goals
Speaker 5: a year and.
Speaker 13: It was amazing.
Speaker 5: I mean, Paul Coffee, he was as a defenseman, breaking
Speaker 5: Bobby Ors records and all that sort of stuff, and
Speaker 5: I never thought that it would happen. But it just
Speaker 5: shows the durability and the talent of Alvechkin. And it's
Speaker 5: just amazing how strong and how he has been able
Speaker 5: to keep going year after year after year, and this
Speaker 5: year with a broken leg back back in six weeks
Speaker 5: or less than six weeks, and just continued on. He
Speaker 5: is an amazing, amazing athlete.
Speaker 4: What was your history like against Wayne john.
Speaker 13: Well? Wha like?
Speaker 5: I played against him when he was in Indianapolis, and
Speaker 5: he's the skinny, lit little kid. And I remember Glenn
Speaker 5: Smer was our coach and he goes, oh, look at
Speaker 5: that little weasel. It's pretty hard for him to score.
Speaker 5: He's got to stick down his throat. And it was
Speaker 5: back in those days and you just you couldn't get him.
Speaker 5: The great great players just have that knack and the
Speaker 5: ability to avoid being hit as much. And and Gretzky
Speaker 5: was just absolutely incredible because they had the great surrounding
Speaker 5: cast too, no matter where he went, but especially in
Speaker 5: Edmonton that you couldn't just concentrate on on Gretzky, and
Speaker 5: because Curry would score or coffee or taking or whoever.
Speaker 13: It was just they were so good. But he was amazing.
Speaker 5: And then alex Obatchkin just continues to go and Okay,
Speaker 5: he's not he doesn't have that power and the speed
Speaker 5: that he used to, but he's still so strong. And
Speaker 5: now the game has changed where you can't just hack
Speaker 5: and whack and cross check him at every opportunity, so
Speaker 5: he can use his size and strength and angle to
Speaker 5: the net and do all those sorts of things that
Speaker 5: enabled him to score.
Speaker 13: And you look at the goal he got last night.
Speaker 5: I mean there he is from the from the blue
Speaker 5: line and just a cannon and Freddie Anderson was having
Speaker 5: a good game and it didn't look like he was
Speaker 5: screened on it. It just he just blew it by him.
Speaker 5: And look at that shot, Anderson's going across him. One timer,
Speaker 5: and he's so good at that. No matter where the
Speaker 5: pass is, and that one's see where it is. It's
Speaker 5: a little bit behind, it's not really in the wheelhouse.
Speaker 5: But he's so strong and his timing is so good
Speaker 5: that he was able to drag that one almost off
Speaker 5: his back foot and drill it by.
Speaker 13: And he's done that over and over and over again.
Speaker 13: I remember you'd go.
Speaker 5: Into the meetings and you talk to the coach and say, well,
Speaker 5: you know, oh, you're playing Washington to night, and you
Speaker 5: know where he's going to be, and.
Speaker 13: How are you going to defend against him? And they say, well, you.
Speaker 5: Know, we'll lean that way. But you can't just have
Speaker 5: one it's five on four as it is. You can't
Speaker 5: just have one guy go over stand by him. So
Speaker 5: all he needed was a little bit of space, and
Speaker 5: time after time after time, and you'd see him over
Speaker 5: there and then face off dot and the pass would
Speaker 5: come across and it'd be in the net.
Speaker 1: Hey, John, knowing what that your Demko has been through
Speaker 1: this year, He's been through a lot in the last
Speaker 1: twelve months you've seen him play. He has come back.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts With a good summer off, can
Speaker 1: he get back to the old Vesna guy.
Speaker 5: Well, I think he can, I really think he can.
Speaker 5: But it's been such a year of turmoil, and not
Speaker 5: just for Thatcher but for the team. And you know
Speaker 5: what he's like, he's a real cerebral guy. He and goalies,
Speaker 5: they say, you know, goalies are it helps if you're
Speaker 5: a little crazy. And you look at there's guys at
Speaker 5: the other end of the spectrum where you say, like
Speaker 5: a Nanny belfour or a grand few or guys that
Speaker 5: you know they're not going to be in the mensa club,
Speaker 5: but they're goalers.
Speaker 13: You know, they're they've got.
Speaker 5: Idiosyncrasies and their goalies and they continue on and and
Speaker 5: but Thatcher is one of those guys that he's a
Speaker 5: real thoughtful guy. And last night and so they get
Speaker 5: shut up. How do you blame the goalie when we
Speaker 5: get shut out? But he's usually so good and he
Speaker 5: doesn't let in bad goals. But last night there was
Speaker 5: a couple of I'm watching him, they woke and it's
Speaker 5: almost like he's overthinking it. He knows his team's having
Speaker 5: trouble of scoring, he knows that he's coming back and
Speaker 5: and they're counting on him to make the difference. But now,
Speaker 5: and you watched the way the team played last night,
Speaker 5: and there's always that first game back from a long trip,
Speaker 5: and they say, but they had the extra day, and
Speaker 5: you think, okay, you know, and they're playing Seattle, who
Speaker 5: was not one of the elite teams in the league,
Speaker 5: and you think, okay, they're going to be all right,
Speaker 5: especially this one, and they're starting.
Speaker 4: A home stand.
Speaker 5: You never know, but they just it almost looked like
Speaker 5: they had resigned themselves to okay. And Rick talk talked
Speaker 5: about it, and he goes, we're really going to be
Speaker 5: able to see who's all in for this last seven
Speaker 5: or eight games, and they just there wasn't very many
Speaker 5: people all in in that game last night.
Speaker 1: Hey, John, there is a possibility talk it might not
Speaker 1: be back. They got to work out a new deal.
Speaker 1: You want to see him back.
Speaker 13: Oh, I'm a real.
Speaker 4: Rick Talking fan.
Speaker 13: I'd love to see him back.
Speaker 5: I think he's a really good coach, and I think
Speaker 5: that in today's game, there's a fine line between.
Speaker 13: Having control of the team and and just being a
Speaker 13: good coach.
Speaker 5: And you look at Toronto there year after year, the
Speaker 5: one hundred points and all this kind of stuff and
Speaker 5: Sheldon Keith, he didn't have control of the room. And
Speaker 5: and now you've got Craig Berub in there, and and
Speaker 5: Craig when he was in Saint Louis, he had control
Speaker 5: of the room. A good coach with control of the
Speaker 5: room and control of the players, and it's hard to do.
Speaker 5: And I think Marty Saint Louis as it in in Montreal.
Speaker 5: I think he's he's, you know, longtime former player and
Speaker 5: all this kind of stuff. And Rick has been as
Speaker 5: a player up and down in all different roles and
Speaker 5: to scorer, a tough guy, all all the things that
Speaker 5: he did as a player, and he carries it over
Speaker 5: into the coaching and he can empathize with the stars,
Speaker 5: and he can empathize with the keif for Sherwood's of
Speaker 5: the world. And I think that that's one of his
Speaker 5: big strengths. But that being said, you see what had
Speaker 5: happened this year and last year was last year an
Speaker 5: anomaly or I really think that Rick is going to
Speaker 5: take a long, hard look at it and see and
Speaker 5: coach of the ear and all sorts of accolades for Rick,
Speaker 5: He's going to.
Speaker 13: Be able to pick and choose.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and.
Speaker 13: Does he look at this team.
Speaker 5: And say, and I've heard you guys talk about, well,
Speaker 5: all the defense that are signed long term and then
Speaker 5: Quinn and so the supporting cast for Quinn. Are those
Speaker 5: guys that good that they deserve the long term and
Speaker 5: the and the money that they got that they're going
Speaker 5: to be Like I look at the at the Canucks
Speaker 5: and Okay, there's Quinn. Now who's number two? Who is
Speaker 5: your second best defense? I think that's yeah, well, if
Speaker 5: you're playing with Quinn, it really helps, it really really helps.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't look at him as the number two guy.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't think they have a number two guy. And
Speaker 5: then three and four, who do you pair? If you
Speaker 5: pair anybody with Quinn, they're gonna look like a number
Speaker 5: two guy. Al Sims played with Bobby Or one year.
Speaker 5: You remember that, Donnie, you'll remember that. And then he
Speaker 5: got he got traded to Harford and I played with
Speaker 5: him in Hartford and all we got Al Simms and
Speaker 5: he was plus fifty or something playing with Bobby Or
Speaker 5: and then.
Speaker 13: He was like minus fifty played with.
Speaker 4: Remember Bobby are with Dallas Smith? Uh, you're you're off
Speaker 4: to Salt Lake City.
Speaker 13: No, I'm not. I haven't got spitched. I'm now doing
Speaker 13: the Lake.
Speaker 5: I'm now doing the late game in Calgary, Calgary in Vegas.
Speaker 5: I was kind of looking forward because I haven't seen
Speaker 5: the new building in salt Lake. You'll like this, Donnie.
Speaker 5: I played in salt Lake in the Western against Salt Lake,
Speaker 5: but I was with the Portland Bucker Bruise and we mean.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know it was in charge of scheduling
Speaker 4: at sports Net. I think that's why he didn't get
Speaker 4: the assignment. Al Simms, Thanks for this.
Speaker 5: I liked that. Al ended up being a very good coach.
Speaker 5: He coached in the minors and then but he just
Speaker 5: was very good. And I mean once Mark hal got
Speaker 5: hurt and we had already and Fred Arthur and Larry
Speaker 5: Drew and we had just a Norm Barnes, Norm Barnes
Speaker 5: till he was pretty good.
Speaker 13: Yeah, but there's another guy. It's who you played with.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The sad part about all this, John, as I remember
Speaker 4: all those names. Thanks for this, Jeech. Great to have
Speaker 4: you on. We'll get you back soon, right, John Garrett,
Speaker 4: who may or may not be joining us in the playoffs.

Speaker 1: All right, Quinn put this together. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: read it word for word because it's like ten paragraphs.
Speaker 1: But Quinn, your son who's here, has done a great
Speaker 1: job of looking at the Western Hockey.
Speaker 4: He's just ripped into it. You said it's too long.
Speaker 1: No, it's if you want, I can read it all.
Speaker 1: I'll be here till Christmas. But what I want to
Speaker 1: do is paraphrase what Quinn said and wrote. Giants won
Speaker 1: in Spokane last night, but Spokane still leads O series
Speaker 1: two one.
Speaker 4: What was this core?
Speaker 1: Three to two? Portland winter Hawks beat Prince George five
Speaker 1: four in double overtime. I'm surprised that this one really
Speaker 1: am winter Hawks are up three games to one. That's
Speaker 1: catching me off guard winter Hawks. Mike Johnson, good guy,
Speaker 1: former Canuck, we know him. Victoria Royals first loss last night,
Speaker 1: five four, and try Cities. They'll try and close it
Speaker 1: out the series in Game five intri City on Friday.
Speaker 1: And there you go. There's a Victoria right there. So
Speaker 1: Quinn with the Western Hockey League update.
Speaker 4: Quinn's going to join us in the next segment. James Patrick,
Speaker 4: of course, friend of the show, head coach of the
Speaker 4: Victoria Royals, also a good guy. Yes, back to the
Speaker 4: Vancouver Canucks for a second, just recapping what we talked
Speaker 4: about in the first segment, cracking over the Knucks five
Speaker 4: nothing and I know the cracking. We're missing players. I
Speaker 4: know there are eleven points behind the cors cox these injuries,
Speaker 4: and Frehand talked about mindset like not not necessarily checked out,
Speaker 4: but just I think they realized their fate and maybe
Speaker 4: that's showing up on the ice. Just I'm watching that
Speaker 4: game last night and it just seemed like there was
Speaker 4: a big difference in skill level last night, even though
Speaker 4: it was the kracking.
Speaker 1: It was the kracking, and they were missing two guys,
Speaker 1: two top six guys, and they still five nothing. I mean,
Speaker 1: let's be honest. Dempko, you know, is probably gonna want
Speaker 1: two goals back for sure, and John said that the
Speaker 1: two two goals back for sure and the first one
Speaker 1: right through the leagues. So Dempko probably wants to have
Speaker 1: some goals back from the last night for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And I think they're at a stage right right now,
Speaker 4: and again eight points out with seven games left up
Speaker 4: against Anaheim at home on Saturday, where just the mood
Speaker 4: of the team and the talent that's there with the injuries,
Speaker 4: Dempko has to play out of his mind for them
Speaker 4: to forget about making them pack, for them to have
Speaker 4: any chance of winning a game. And that wasn't the
Speaker 4: case last night. That thatcher. I'm sure I will tell
Speaker 4: you that. By the way, I should mention draft lottery simulator.
Speaker 4: We're a bit over here. We'll rune it tomorrow. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: now let's think given the knock situation, we've had a

Speaker 1: nothing but score forty goals every year in the eight
Speaker 1: Tony's on the committee, yeah, and forty goals plus every
Speaker 1: year on crappy smite Division Canuck teams. This guy is

Speaker 4: Yes, you look at the all time Canuck scorers, he's
Speaker 4: right there. He's right there.
Speaker 1: You know, there's some guys that are in there that.
Speaker 4: But Ryan will tell you that it's not that big
Speaker 4: a deal because Tony Tanny played a lot of his
Speaker 4: career in the eighties and nobody was any good back then.
Speaker 4: A big deal if he had a lot of points. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's right, Retzky. Not that impressive according to Ryan.
Speaker 1: But to score on weak teams is a big thing.
Speaker 4: Ryan.
Speaker 1: It's a big, big thing because you're not.
Speaker 4: You don't have you did that in road hockey.

Speaker 5: Is It Just Me?
Speaker 4: Lots of submissions, Delaney's Okay, Tirre and Langley and Alder
Speaker 4: then box Rick all right.
Speaker 1: Is it just me Caducks management has failed Rick Talcket.
Speaker 1: They keep bringing in guys that aren't his kind of
Speaker 1: players and let his type go if you want to
Speaker 1: him to stay. Alvin's got to go, Tom and Vick says,
Speaker 1: get rid of the GM and keep talk.
Speaker 4: No shortage of people that I run into that feel
Speaker 4: that there was a major mistake made. And I know
Speaker 4: he hasn't had a great season in Boston, but failing
Speaker 4: to keep the kid as the door. But did a
Speaker 4: lot of people have said that they made an equal
Speaker 4: offer to the door of the same as Boston, but
Speaker 4: they waited his side on the Bruce.
Speaker 1: They waited too long, and they took too much time
Speaker 1: on Gensel and then that's what the problem was, and
Speaker 1: he bolted to Boston.
Speaker 4: David Cedar, Is it just me that thinks the most
Speaker 4: important playoff race is the battle between Winnipeg and Dallas
Speaker 4: to see who wins the Central and avoids Colorado. That
Speaker 4: Central is crazy. The Jets on top and in first place,
Speaker 4: Stars are four points behind, and the a have ninety
Speaker 4: six points, likely finishing in third. But do you want
Speaker 4: to meet them in that first round and they've loaded
Speaker 4: up too.
Speaker 1: You watch Donnie every year. So many good teams are
Speaker 1: out in Round one. It's just crazy, is it just meet?
Speaker 1: But very disappointed to see the team put in that
Speaker 1: type of effort last night. The team is much softer
Speaker 1: than last year and not Talcket style. He should follow
Speaker 1: the money this offseason. Dave Pratt from yel tal Davis
Speaker 1: I said to text it it's Dave Pratt with air quotes.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, it's not the real day Pratt. It's
Speaker 1: just somebody saying they're day Pratt.
Speaker 4: Boom. Yeah, all right, Unsigned sign those texts and emails, folks,
Speaker 4: I want to give you credit Unsigned.
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 4: But Tanty and bert Oh should be in the ring?
Speaker 1: I agree on uh Bertuzzi. I think he should be
Speaker 1: in there.
Speaker 4: The numbers are there, yeah, the number everything, and you
Speaker 4: know the one infamous moment with the Todd keeps him
Speaker 4: out of the ring. I would, I would think, but
Speaker 4: I'll never forget him coming back to Vancouver and you know,
Speaker 4: standing ovation for him, he got all all is forgiven
Speaker 4: and he was an outstanding player on a team that
Speaker 4: I don't think, not a lot of playoffs success there.
Speaker 4: But I always give that West Coast Express Era a
Speaker 4: lot of credit for playing really sexy hockey, you know,
Speaker 4: offensively oriented hockey at a time when that just wasn't
Speaker 4: happening around the NHL was entertaining.
Speaker 1: And Burke and Crawford were on the same page. That
Speaker 1: was a big deal of that. Talcket sounds defeated. I'm
Speaker 1: getting a little worried now. He might be fed up.
Speaker 1: His body language looks frustrated. It might be time to
Speaker 1: do a retool with Manny Mahultter leading the team. Ozzie
Speaker 1: Goose coming in hot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not the first person with thank you, Ozzy, not
Speaker 4: the first person to mention that, Hey, it looks like
Speaker 4: they have a hot coaching commodity in Manny Malhultra. But
Speaker 4: if I'm not mistaken, is this not Manny's first head
Speaker 4: coaching head first head coaching any he was with the
Speaker 4: Maple Leafs and his assistant. Then he went to the
Speaker 4: Eye and the Sky guy at the end. I don't
Speaker 4: think he'd like that. But and then the opportunity now
Speaker 4: and his kid, his kids playing.
Speaker 1: His kid plays for the Chiliwac Chiefs, And that's the
Speaker 1: big reason why he's out here in the first place.
Speaker 4: Unsigned as well, is it just me. Hey, Ryan, heads up,
Speaker 4: do you not remember Gretzky didn't have those composite sticks
Speaker 4: that bed you're talking about the advantages that Gretzky had
Speaker 4: as a goal scorer versus Alex Ovechkin, that would be
Speaker 4: an advantage that Ovechkin has.
Speaker 9: Okay, But if you okay that of advantage, then if
Speaker 9: you want to call it that for Ov gets immediately
Speaker 9: canceled out by the increased size of goaltenders and goaltending equipment,
Speaker 9: like it's much harder to score on the net and
Speaker 9: the style of play by goaltenders, Like I think all
Speaker 9: that's been a lot harder then. And to your point,
Speaker 9: like you say, oh well, if Gretzky, if it was
Speaker 9: so easy to score in the eighties, why didn't everybody
Speaker 9: score goals like him? Well, if composite sticks are so amazing,
Speaker 9: why doesn't everybody score goals like Alexandrovtchkin?
Speaker 1: Because everyone doesn't have the same talent exactly, Okay, that
Speaker 1: we know that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just your argument is sound in that you
Speaker 4: think that, and I agree with you the better pure
Speaker 4: goalscor but I think I think the major portion of
Speaker 4: your argument was.
Speaker 9: Is the better player no this goal score I read
Speaker 9: Acord Biovechkin much much more impressive in my opinion than Gretzky.
Speaker 4: Bob and Burnaby?
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 4: Or should we now start talking more about the Abbotsford Canucks,
Speaker 4: which we we did. They've won eleven now in a row,
Speaker 4: Rick eleven straight. Any chance those playoff games will be
Speaker 4: televised again? Bob and Burnaby, Well.
Speaker 1: Maybe we should call check our boss and say get
Speaker 1: on it, and then maybe you and I could do
Speaker 1: and Ryan could do the Absburg Canucks postgames.
Speaker 4: What's the budget for those?
Speaker 13: You know?
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's pretty expensive, pretty expensive. I love brockbster,
Speaker 1: but he was terrible last night. Turnover after turnover, bat
Speaker 1: on the powerplay, just a bad game overall. Gary not
Speaker 1: impressed for Brock last night?
Speaker 4: Was Is it just me? But trying to squeak into
Speaker 4: the playoffs and drafting somewhere in the middle is not working.
Speaker 4: What's the definition of insanity? Again? Incredibly frustrating. At least
Speaker 4: the Canucks kept Brock for these important games down the stretch.
Speaker 4: That's tongue tongue in cheek and was there is a
Speaker 4: lot of people who feel the exact same way and
Speaker 4: I'm putting me and I'm maybe wrong, believe it or not,
Speaker 4: but just try something different, just the same thing. Mediocrity.
Speaker 1: Well, they're going to get a pick around the thirteen fourteen,
Speaker 1: fifteenth therey.
Speaker 4: There you go, it was won't be happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, Nick from Vic. They got rid
Speaker 1: of horror app because he's Canadian. They don't like Canadian players.
Speaker 1: Look at their roster. Shaking my head, Nick from VIC.
Speaker 1: The roster makeup is we gotta people, whether you believe
Speaker 1: us or not, we gotta we got somebody ripping. There's
Speaker 1: too many Americans on the Canucks, too many Swedes on
Speaker 1: the Canucks. Not enough Canadians on the Canucks. Like the
Speaker 1: the people aren't concerned with the makeup of the team.
Speaker 4: Don Yeah. A lot of people, including Donde from Nanaimo,
Speaker 4: agreeing with we got to get go in here, I
Speaker 4: know that, agreeing with what Farhand had to say. Les
Speaker 4: Patterson stick around in Vancouver in the off season. Canucks
Speaker 4: are paying eleven point six dollars eleven point six million dollars,
Speaker 4: they're paying him a season and maybe just suggests that
Speaker 4: he sticks around Vancouver. They have a trainer for him.
Speaker 4: Skills coach all of that. That's a crazy idea.
Speaker 1: It's a zero. The season's over and Elliots Patterson can
Speaker 1: go anywhere he wants if he wants to forget that,
Speaker 1: he can go anywhere he wants. He doesn't have to
Speaker 1: stick around here.
Speaker 5: But is it not?
Speaker 4: Is it not possible to suggest that to somebody you're
Speaker 4: paying all that money.
Speaker 1: They are going to talk to him because that guy
Speaker 1: cannot show up the camp next year. Out here, there
Speaker 1: you go. They are going to have, as Elliott said,
Speaker 1: a Jesus moment with him coming to Jesus, coming to
Speaker 1: Jesus moment with him. Okay, a break, we'll wrap up
Speaker 1: the show. In the poll question next donning dollar, the
Speaker 1: team won't ye.

Speaker 9: I agree, like everybody reviews these cherry blossoms, like people flock,
Speaker 9: especially all these especially all these Instagram people.
Speaker 1: They go, they gotta pull their phone out look at that.
Speaker 4: It's just as I thought you were gonna say, is
Speaker 4: too much being made of rush?
Speaker 13: No?

Speaker 4: rush and cherry bosses?
Speaker 11: I just the cherry blossoms. Courtney Todd is putting, it's

Speaker 1: Where are you guys?

Speaker 4: They give me a good looking cedar branch? Yeah? Over over?
Speaker 1: What a better roses? What do you guys want to
Speaker 1: better roses?
Speaker 4: Better than a cherry block.
Speaker 1: I just think it's just overrated.
Speaker 4: I don't know. Is it unique to Vancouver?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: could be wrong on that, but I just yeah, I
Speaker 1: know you have Do you have a tree at cherry
Speaker 1: bossom tree? Oh? I don't have one, but I know
Speaker 1: where some are.
Speaker 4: I love them. I walked by, I say, look at this,
Speaker 4: this is beautiful. Do you have a Chevy and pala? Hey?
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 4: Nbi raj don't forget. Ov benefited from the elimination of
Speaker 4: the two line pass, which now allows players to stay
Speaker 4: high for a past Gretzky always had to be on
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the red line, put that in
Speaker 4: your pipe and smoke it. Sure, sure again, I'll say it.
Speaker 4: I do agree with you. He is the greatest scorer
Speaker 4: of all time, not the greatest player.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that too. When I was a
Speaker 1: young fella, I love nothing more than putting on the
Speaker 1: cardboard pads, block blocker and baseball glove to be Frank
