Speaker 2: Your local sports coverage lives here. Two nothing It's Alva
Speaker 2: not so fast cohole breath with John Taylor.
Speaker 3: I say that the winner of the draft lottery should
Speaker 3: be the winner of a two man loose.
Speaker 1: And Rick Dolly Wall I had a cherry tree up
Speaker 1: a little Ricky. I used to go up that tree
Speaker 1: and just sit there for hours and munch on those
Speaker 1: cherry years.
Speaker 2: Donnie and Dolly.
Speaker 1: Ten o'clock get downtown Vancouver bro the Paul Carson Studio.
Speaker 3: Thanks for tuning in, folks. It's Donnie and Dolly the
Speaker 3: team on Check. Don Taylor, along with Rick Dolly Wall.
Speaker 3: Ryan Henderson is our producer. He is at the controls
Speaker 3: our direct here. The voice of God is Derek Wong.
Speaker 3: How are you could be better?
Speaker 4: This?
Speaker 3: Just in We understand that the Canucks are going to
Speaker 3: have a press conference today at one o'clock to introduce
Speaker 3: Daniel and Hendrick Sadein as co presidents of Hockey Operations,
Speaker 3: Ryan Johnson as the thirteenth general manager in Canuck franchise
Speaker 3: history at that time. We also understand the Canucks will
Speaker 3: go out of their way to draft the Ruck twins
Speaker 3: out of medicine. Hat you were just like this argument
Speaker 3: we just had is so ridiculous.
Speaker 1: We just had a big fight two seconds for the
Speaker 1: because Ryan pissed me off and I'm we're and we're
Speaker 1: yelling and screaming, all three of us. I need to
Speaker 1: calm down. My blood pressure's too high rate. You just
Speaker 1: didn't understand what I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't want to talk, so that it looks like
Speaker 3: because the Wild lost yesterday, Yeah, so they won't advance
Speaker 3: to Hockey's version of the Final Four, that the Canucks
Speaker 3: are going to draft twenty fourth and thirty second after
Speaker 3: they draft third overall. So Ryan and I were saying, well,
Speaker 3: they'll go for the rout ones so from BC and
Speaker 3: you just flip your lid.
Speaker 1: Because I because you went on and on about I
Speaker 1: know inside info that there the hope in the plan
Speaker 1: is for one team to get both Rock brothers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but but by picks one after the other, not picking
Speaker 1: twenty nine seven, that's hard to do, Like, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: harder than what we're talking about anyways. Look, you guys,
Speaker 1: both of you, you went on and on about the
Speaker 1: flames having all these the second round of PILs got
Speaker 1: four second round picks before that. I know you have
Speaker 1: to so you picks before. So you think Canucks are
Speaker 1: getting both that they picked one and then wait ten picks,
Speaker 1: Well maybe they they'll take a chance. Well Brian Burke.
Speaker 3: Pulled off the mir of the center, and how that's
Speaker 3: not gonna happen again. Yeah, well, and we're talking about
Speaker 3: ninety nine and the Sedines.
Speaker 1: You can try to your point.
Speaker 5: If the Canucks take the first one, you see another
Speaker 5: team taking the second one.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they They're both extremely good. But if the
Speaker 1: preferences they want, ten teams are gonna say, hey, Vancouver
Speaker 1: have both in the mock drafts. They fit in that
Speaker 1: way too. Yeah, we're when we're talking about how is
Speaker 1: it like, I don't get it. You're so upcited about that.
Speaker 6: You did flip your perving world.
Speaker 1: The Rocks are gonna go say something like this, twenty
Speaker 1: nine to thirty thirty three, thirty four. Sure, in a
Speaker 1: perfect world, what I think that's the plan. But for
Speaker 1: you guys to sit there and say the Canucks take
Speaker 1: one rock, ten teams pass on the second Rock, and
Speaker 1: the Canucks get them ten picks. That's way more realistic
Speaker 1: than when you were talking right of.
Speaker 3: The Flames pick in the second round. Do we know
Speaker 3: he's got four they.
Speaker 1: Back to back? Anyways, I don't know why they're talking
Speaker 1: about plan and we're fighting about the Ruck brothers. Incredible, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you're really adamant that we're out of our minds
Speaker 1: for suggesting that. I don't think Ryan got me riled up.
Speaker 1: Did you have that information? I'm checking it right now,
Speaker 1: the Flame here, it is right here. Flames.
Speaker 5: They've got picked twenty eight. Okay, so that'll be after
Speaker 5: the Canucks. They've got picked thirty five, that'll be after
Speaker 5: the Canucks. There you go, that's great, that's.
Speaker 1: Good on that. So you eight teams are going to
Speaker 1: pass on the second Ruck. I mean you're saying, okay,
Speaker 1: they're literally identical in talent.
Speaker 3: You're saying they are there. One's more of a scorer,
Speaker 3: one's more of a playmaker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, similar to Yeah, but both had the incredible Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly right. So I just can't believe that.
Speaker 3: You're like, so the Flames would have to do some
Speaker 3: maneuvering in order to draft them back to back.
Speaker 1: The teams are doing beyond the scenes right now. They're
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how we can get them both.
Speaker 3: Anyways, Oh, maybe the Canucks could throw a wrench into
Speaker 3: the plans of the Calgary Flames blood pressure.
Speaker 1: High Why like you're are half a Ryan pissed me
Speaker 1: off before the show and we were yelling, all three
Speaker 1: of us. Anyways, one o'clock you believe this.
Speaker 3: One o'clock today is when that press conference starts at
Speaker 3: Roger Arena to introduce Daniel and Henrik because the new
Speaker 3: Grand pubas of the Canuck Organization Hockey Operations, Ryan Johnson
Speaker 3: as the thirteenth GM and we called it yesterday. I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's the hot dog guy or whatever.
Speaker 3: The situation is. They can't have a press conference during
Speaker 3: the you know, the body of our show to maybe
Speaker 3: help us out right, they're moving on.
Speaker 1: It's a new regime.
Speaker 3: But now one o'clock they have to do it after
Speaker 3: our show has finished. And I think that's the plan,
Speaker 3: just that, you know what, it was a bigger decision
Speaker 3: the timing of this press conference than the actual hiring
Speaker 3: of the Sedines and Ryan Johnson.
Speaker 1: How can we mess up Donnie and Dolly? You Neil
Speaker 1: that I think the hot dog guy set the press
Speaker 1: at one. He doesn't like us. I've been told did you.
Speaker 3: See this, by the way, this Brendan Bachelor tweet voice
Speaker 3: of the Canucks Sun Radio Sports nd at six fifty
Speaker 3: Brendan Bachelor our friend. He's been on the show several times.
Speaker 1: Good guy.
Speaker 3: He went back to twenty eighteen when the Wins, Daniel
Speaker 3: and Henrik Sedein retired as players, and they we've got
Speaker 3: the clip here, Derek were good and they were asked
Speaker 3: by Brandon about their futures.
Speaker 7: Yep, do either of you have any particular interests in
Speaker 7: that regard, whether it be coaching or management or scouting.
Speaker 1: President Wow, I believe that was Henrik. That was Henrik.
Speaker 3: I think back in twenty eighteen, time flies eight years ago.
Speaker 1: And here they are. They're going to be the shot callers.
Speaker 1: Ryan Johnson's got to report to Well Hope, so they're done.
Speaker 1: They're gonna report, and the Sadein's got to report to.
Speaker 3: The ownership, and do you know what they'll be reporting.
Speaker 3: Let's go out of our way to draft the rug
Speaker 3: Twins twenty four and thirty seconds. And then there was
Speaker 3: this other story yesterday about do we still call him
Speaker 3: the president Jim Rutherford? You know, nothing's been an official.
Speaker 1: To slip into advisors, Well, my dream job. I think
Speaker 1: he's inn advisor mode now.
Speaker 3: But he's cleaned out his office. Farhand tweeted that out yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's cleaned out his office and I totally see
Speaker 1: it cardboard box. Yeah. I think it's time now for
Speaker 1: him to say some new people in charge. I'm in
Speaker 1: the background, I'm out of here, I'm out of here.
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is These are Forehand's tweets from yesterday.
Speaker 3: Jaran Rutherford cleaned out his office yesterday. He followed that
Speaker 3: up with no one should take this to mean he's
Speaker 3: left the organization or leaving town yet. But didn't he
Speaker 3: talk about moving to Carolina and doing his advising from there,
Speaker 3: which again more respect. I mean, if you can get
Speaker 3: a job like that, you're hanging out.
Speaker 1: Halfway across the country.
Speaker 3: And isn't Dale Talon also an advisor? What's happening with him.
Speaker 1: That they've got advisor's galore about getting some you know
Speaker 1: people in here.
Speaker 3: You know they should hire his advisors? Is us like honestly,
Speaker 3: we advise them a lot. They don't listen to.
Speaker 1: Us for their media relations. They should ask us what
Speaker 1: to do. Okay. Also, Ryan john again, thirteenth GM in
Speaker 1: Cannucks history, taking over from Patrick L. Alvin. Is he
Speaker 1: an advisor to is he sticking around?
Speaker 3: Speaking of which, this Knoblock situation in epiten. So he
Speaker 3: gets let We're gonna get to Ryan Johnson talk about
Speaker 3: him a little bit more in a second. But Chris
Speaker 3: Knoblock gets let go this morning as head coach the
Speaker 3: hebuton Oilers, his three year extension hasn't kicked in. It
Speaker 3: hasn't the's people with my dream jobs Ruththerford, Chris Knoblock,
Speaker 3: my gosh, all right, almost see what happens in Ebitton
Speaker 3: in the future.
Speaker 1: But okay, So.
Speaker 3: Ryan Johnson played with the connuction, was a shot blocking forward.
Speaker 3: People don't know about him as a journeyman for it.
Speaker 3: That's not a knock at all. He went out of
Speaker 3: his way to keep his job, killing penalties, you know,
Speaker 3: third fourth line, whatever it took to keep a job.
Speaker 3: And so you know, here's a guy who can relate
Speaker 3: to the majority of players in the National hockey not
Speaker 3: necessarily the stars of the Superstars. But as a player,
Speaker 3: he knows what it's like, you know, to hang on
Speaker 3: like that, and that I have total everybody a total
Speaker 3: respect for that. So we want to go back to
Speaker 3: the too. And not many people have heard from Ryan Johnson,
Speaker 3: certainly not on a regular basis, So we went back
Speaker 3: looked at some YouTube clips. This is Ryan Johnson from
Speaker 3: Back in the Fall, reflecting on Abbotsford's twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: called her Cup Run.
Speaker 1: And this is Ryan's.
Speaker 3: Philosophy, and I thought this he came across in very
Speaker 3: impressive fashion. Here his philosophy on dealing with young players.
Speaker 3: Remember this is a rebuilding team. Now we hope Canuck
Speaker 3: fans hope his philosophy on dealing with young players who
Speaker 3: are inevitably on the ice off the ice, going to
Speaker 3: make mistakes.
Speaker 8: Our environment allows you to fail and feel vulnerable to
Speaker 8: make mistakes. I think a lot of rookies they come
Speaker 8: in and yeah, it's a huge culture shift from living
Speaker 8: on their own to pro how you get guys with
Speaker 8: kids and it's a whole different shift, and food and
Speaker 8: all these things. Is trying to take some of that
Speaker 8: off the table for them, but then allowing a safe
Speaker 8: space for them to walk in every day and be
Speaker 8: able to ask questions, be able to be vulnerable and
Speaker 8: make mistakes and not feel, oh my gosh, you know
Speaker 8: I made a mistake tonight. I'm not playing tomorrow. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 8: is there accountability to it?
Speaker 2: For sure?
Speaker 8: And that happens at times and sometimes a guy needs
Speaker 8: a reset. But I think we've again creating a consistent environment.
Speaker 8: The one thing I'd learned very early in managing a
Speaker 8: group was when there's volatility day to day of what
Speaker 8: the environment looks like, it's very hard for players to
Speaker 8: come in and learn or have a plan. I always
Speaker 8: preach all I want you to have a plan every day,
Speaker 8: so when you go to bed at night, think about
Speaker 8: what exactly tomorrow is going to look like, as opposed
Speaker 8: to taking up and walking in and seeing what happens.
Speaker 8: But if your environment is so volatile, and hey, we
Speaker 8: had a tough game last night, it might walk in,
Speaker 8: we might not Coach might not look at me, Coach
Speaker 8: might not talk to me. We might get bag scared,
Speaker 8: we might that volatility interrupts development.
Speaker 4: It does.
Speaker 1: That's smart, not impressive, oppressive, smart, intelligent. He's a sharp
Speaker 1: dude and combined with the Sedine Twins, it's going to
Speaker 1: be a good management crew. You just watch, yeah, And
Speaker 1: I think, to.
Speaker 3: Summarize what he was talking about, I don't think that anyone,
Speaker 3: no matter what line of work you're in, pro hockey broadcasting,
Speaker 3: working on a construction site, playing scared. Working scared is
Speaker 3: not a positive thing. Where you're looking over your shoulder
Speaker 3: every second, you can't relax. And again he makes the
Speaker 3: point there has to be accountability. You can't keep making
Speaker 3: the same mistakes over and over again. But you don't
Speaker 3: want young players, especially and today's players are different. You
Speaker 3: don't want players coming to work.
Speaker 1: Every day worried about their job and.
Speaker 3: Getting yelled at, versus being an environment where they can
Speaker 3: learn and wait where they can get better. I thought
Speaker 3: that was a really impressive, impressive clip from Ryan Johnson.
Speaker 1: We heard Maxison on this show yesterday rave about him
Speaker 1: and call them a father figure. And you know he
Speaker 1: treats people right. That's the one thing. I've had a
Speaker 1: lot of agents reach out in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: They're all happy for.
Speaker 3: Ryan, the same ones that told you about the rut wing.
Speaker 1: They're all happy for Ryan because he's a great guy.
Speaker 1: And you know what, he's a sharp guy. But I
Speaker 1: haven't had one agent call me or text me in
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours say bad move, bad move
Speaker 1: by the Canucks. You know why, because he treats people good.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't do what the Canucks did to Bruce Boudreau
Speaker 1: and others as well. He's not going to He's not that.
Speaker 1: He doesn't got it in his DNA to treat Boudreau
Speaker 1: like the Canucks did. And the Sadin twins don't have
Speaker 1: it as well. It's not in their DNA to treat
Speaker 1: people back. You want them to be tough. They have
Speaker 1: to be or they're gonna get eaten alive. They're gonna
Speaker 1: get eat in the alive.
Speaker 3: To do that publicly. What the Canucks did horror back
Speaker 3: then is harbs. It cannot make for a good, good environment.
Speaker 3: And you talk about working while looking over your shoulder
Speaker 3: and being worried about your job status. I thought Bruce
Speaker 3: Boudreau set the till. That situation set the tone for
Speaker 3: this last management group, the one that's going out the door.
Speaker 3: It was it was bad karma. There was so much,
Speaker 3: so much wrong with it. Let's get to the waddling
Speaker 3: dog pole question again one o'clock today at Roger's Arena.
Speaker 3: It will be made official Daniel and Hendrik Sedein Connuck presidents,
Speaker 3: Ryan Johnson, general Manager. This leads to the Waddling Dog
Speaker 3: pole question experience one of Victoria's iconic destinations, sleep, sip
Speaker 3: and stock up all on one legendary spot. Come at
Speaker 3: the dog today wreck all right, Ryan, get her.
Speaker 1: Up the wattling dog pop pole question. What's the most
Speaker 1: important question you want answered?
Speaker 3: It?
Speaker 1: Today's Canucks press or look at this commitment to the
Speaker 1: rebuild is leading the way by a large margin sixty.
Speaker 1: Then comes some clarity on the head coach Adam Footmanny Mahultra.
Speaker 1: Then comes dealing with Aliash Petterson. Are they going to
Speaker 1: try and trade him this summer? And at last is
Speaker 1: the rest of the management structure? Are the Canucks going
Speaker 1: to hire another assistant GM? Stay tuned, we should find
Speaker 1: out and what happened?
Speaker 3: What happens to the the agms who are still in
Speaker 3: the office. Cammi Granado, Big, big, big, big question we
Speaker 3: should get We should get clarity on Cammi and Emily today.
Speaker 1: Are they talking to people about a new AGM coming
Speaker 1: to town? Do they need more analytics. CAP guys, Well,
Speaker 1: that's where I would go, is it?
Speaker 3: Because you know Ryan Johnson, the Sedines, I don't know
Speaker 3: how much they value analytics. I'm sure they do, but
Speaker 3: that's I'm guessing that's not their area of expertise. And
Speaker 3: are they And you have to have that have that
Speaker 3: these days, people who know the CAP inside out, know
Speaker 3: the CBA.
Speaker 1: You mentioned this yesterday inside They got to know the
Speaker 1: CBA inside out because.
Speaker 3: No analytics, and get people who who can address your
Speaker 3: weaknesses as a manager or a president. As for dealing
Speaker 3: with the EP forty and trading with them, let's forget that, Rick.
Speaker 3: Let's start here. The Sedines at early in their careers, Yes,
Speaker 3: they weren't in the best shape, and they and and
Speaker 3: this is what's happening with Elias Peedison true right now
Speaker 3: from what we understood, and they went out of their
Speaker 3: way to improve their fitness and their games skyrocketed from there.
Speaker 3: So I would think, for you know, trading EP forty
Speaker 3: is a pipe dream. I would think, give given the contract,
Speaker 3: but work with what you have and make sure this guy,
Speaker 3: you know, for the first time in a long time
Speaker 3: comes into camp in tip top shape and is stronger,
Speaker 3: his bottom half is stronger where he can stay stay
Speaker 3: up on his feet and that that that to me
Speaker 3: is when you stay dealing with heap of forty That's
Speaker 3: where I go head coach Adam foot Manny Malhultra, someone else.
Speaker 3: Obviously they have to make a commitment there and the
Speaker 3: commitment to a rebuild. I think there's a lot of people,
Speaker 3: including myself, I'm still not sure if they are committed.
Speaker 1: I want to hear that today. You can't pay eleven
Speaker 1: point six million for a guy to get fifty points.
Speaker 1: You can't. It's killing you.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and it's it's hard trade somebody with who's
Speaker 3: getting fifty points and making eleven points two years old,
Speaker 3: even with the cap increasing.
Speaker 1: Okay, how are we doing? Ryan? Good? Okay?
Speaker 3: Uh dt, we won't. We want to run if we
Speaker 3: have time. One of those Max SaaS Sosan clips from yesterday.
Speaker 3: He was very impressive on Ryan Johnson. He talked about
Speaker 3: the sedines. He talked about the locker room culture last year,
Speaker 3: which he admitted was was an issue. DTMZ is it
Speaker 3: just me coming up in the eleven o'clock our Thomas
Speaker 3: Grants is going in join us from the eleven from
Speaker 3: the Athletic just after eleven o'clock from the eleven. I'm

Speaker 1: told Rick, just matter, where does that leave Rick? Though?
Speaker 10: Rick looking out looking, You're the GM reporting up to
Speaker 10: the presidents.
Speaker 3: My friend, and and as a lot of people have
Speaker 3: pointed out in our bayside inbox, you know how old
Speaker 3: I am. I'm Rutherford, I'm senior, I'm senior advisor.
Speaker 1: Just just a matter.
Speaker 10: Of I've heard there's a movement online that the new
Speaker 10: slogan for the upcoming season for the Vancouver Canducks just
Speaker 10: do it for Donnie, because I think there's a real
Speaker 10: desire to get you a cup before you yet to
Speaker 10: Jim Rutherford stage year or the year after.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who would like to see
Speaker 3: a cup in their lifetimes and I'm certainly yeah, a
Speaker 3: lot of them.
Speaker 1: But believe it or not, I am a vanchor of
Speaker 1: Coca Decade.
Speaker 3: Yes, Hey, what's your reaction to all this news farhand?
Speaker 3: Ryan Johnson, GM, Daniel and Henrick co presidents.
Speaker 10: Look, there's there's two reactions, and I'd like to think
Speaker 10: both things can be true.
Speaker 4: And one is that for a couple of weeks we
Speaker 4: thought this.
Speaker 10: Was a really good process, right yep, that they were
Speaker 10: they were going to be talking to a number of
Speaker 10: different people, learning a lot about the perceptions of the organization,
Speaker 10: ideas that other teams use to have their successes and
Speaker 10: bring it all back to Vancouver. But then it circles
Speaker 10: back to this, right, internal candidates, it's got awfully it's
Speaker 10: got an awful lot Turner Linden type vibes right that
Speaker 10: you're gonna have two franchise icons take it over to
Speaker 10: kind of help or store consumer confidence and for.
Speaker 4: People to get excited about.
Speaker 10: I mean, heck, they did that for three days after
Speaker 10: Jim Benning before bringing in Jim Rutherford w Stance mel
Speaker 10: right like this, It all kind of feels on and
Speaker 10: there's a negativity associated with that because many wanted to
Speaker 10: see change.
Speaker 4: I get it. On some levels, I agree with it,
Speaker 4: but at the same time, I also think.
Speaker 10: A lot of the people involved, Ryan Johnson and Daniel
Speaker 10: and henricksonean and when you look at the Twins compared
Speaker 10: to say, when Trevor took the job over, Trevor had
Speaker 10: more of a business background. He had some leadership acumen
Speaker 10: in terms of what he did with the Players Association
Speaker 10: and things like that, and the Twins have primarily been
Speaker 10: on the ice the last few years on the development side,
Speaker 10: as opposed to necessarily being in presidential type grooming environments.
Speaker 4: All that said, I just think so much of the Twins.
Speaker 10: I think what they understand what needs to happen from
Speaker 10: a culture standpoint and a professionalism standpoint, and I think
Speaker 10: from Rian Johnston's perspective. While you can be a cynic
Speaker 10: and say he's been a part of some bad organizations
Speaker 10: here in Vancouver and some bad processes, he was also
Speaker 10: around Mike Gillis, And for my money, I think Trevor
Speaker 10: Lindon could have done a real good job if he
Speaker 10: was allowed to see it through, which he was, So
Speaker 10: I think you could.
Speaker 4: And I think, look, you and.
Speaker 10: I've been around some people who haven't done their jobs
Speaker 10: really well, and we've learned what that looks like.
Speaker 4: And you can learn from people who haven't done it
Speaker 4: right right, So I think that Ryan Johnson can learn
Speaker 4: there as well.
Speaker 10: So while I questioned the process and how it eventually
Speaker 10: circled back to internal candidates, I do believe in the
Speaker 10: Twins and Ryan Johnson and in their ability to get
Speaker 10: this right.
Speaker 1: What do they have to say today to to to
Speaker 1: make everybody in this city, including media fans. What do
Speaker 1: they got to say today that I think confident.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, Like, look, I don't know what the exact
Speaker 10: words are, but I think they've got to convey a
Speaker 10: message that will reassure everyone that they're capable of making
Speaker 10: difficult decisions. And I think that was one of the
Speaker 10: questions that ownership had at the beginning on Ryan Johnson, right, like,
Speaker 10: this is not about how they got to the point
Speaker 10: of selecting them. They're here now, right, So what are
Speaker 10: you going to do? Can you make the tough decisions?
Speaker 10: Can you make the tough decision on Adam Foot which
Speaker 10: for many of us as it happened, decision, but for
Speaker 10: some I'm like, Okay, he's been around him for a
Speaker 10: couple of years and there might be a relationship there
Speaker 10: that might be tough.
Speaker 4: You know, what are you going to do to build
Speaker 4: out this organization?
Speaker 10: Certainly there's been a lot of speculation about what's going
Speaker 10: to happen with the assistant general managers and things like that.
Speaker 4: So what's your support team going to be? Right?
Speaker 11: Are you?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 4: Are you are you going to keep Emily casting gay?
Speaker 10: Is there somebody else out there that you think can
Speaker 10: really deliver in terms of negotiations and cap management and
Speaker 10: things like that, what do you do on the analytics side?
Speaker 10: I think a lot of people thought Evan Gold was
Speaker 10: going to be able to really build out that area,
Speaker 10: or at least you wanted to and had the expertise
Speaker 10: to do so, because I think that's an area of
Speaker 10: this organization is woefully lacking in. There are a couple
Speaker 10: of good people there, but there aren't enough. Right Like
Speaker 10: that organization when you compare it to others around the league,
Speaker 10: is behind that part of it, right, So I want
Speaker 10: to know what their vision is and do they have
Speaker 10: the chops to make difficult decisions and do they feel
Speaker 10: empowered to make difficult decisions.
Speaker 4: I think they will be at the front end, but.
Speaker 10: As we found out with Trevor a couple of years
Speaker 10: into it, that change, right, So you know, we'll see.
Speaker 10: And I also want to see if ownership is gonna
Speaker 10: show out here, right Like I think Franchesca Accolini needs
Speaker 10: to be at his press conference. Yes I have my
Speaker 10: doubts that he will, but he needs to be there
Speaker 10: because when you make this type of decision, a presidential decision,
Speaker 10: it shouldn't be Jim Rotherford telling us what's happening. I
Speaker 10: don't think it should be Michael Doyle telling us what's happening.
Speaker 10: I think Francesco Akulini needs to have the guts to
Speaker 10: get behind the microphone, which he does every five years
Speaker 10: or so when he makes these types of decisions and
Speaker 10: own it.
Speaker 1: Well. Their biggest decision is, no question is going to
Speaker 1: be is Adam footback and is Manny Mahultra? Are you
Speaker 1: going to let him walk? Because if you listen to
Speaker 1: people in the hockey world, the Toronto Maple Leafs are
Speaker 1: going to want to talk to Manny Maholtra about their
Speaker 1: coaching vacacy, and you got no shortage of people saying that,
Speaker 1: are you willing to lose Maholtra to keep Foot?
Speaker 4: I'm not right.
Speaker 10: Like to me, I think the bigger decision around Manny
Speaker 10: Malholtra is Manny or Caleb right in terms of of
Speaker 10: what the Canucks are going to do in the draft, right,
Speaker 10: I like the thought of picking Nanny over Adam Foot
Speaker 10: to be the head coach of this team, like like
Speaker 10: I said, guys, tap in Putt. But they got to
Speaker 10: make that decision right because two more years left on
Speaker 10: the Foot deal. There's certainly you know again, I'm sure
Speaker 10: there's a relationship there between Ryan Johnson and certainly the
Speaker 10: twins who've been on the ice, and I know most
Speaker 10: of their time is spent in Abbotsford, but they have
Speaker 10: spent a lot of time on the ice here at
Speaker 10: Rogers Arena.
Speaker 4: So I think that will be a difficult decision for
Speaker 4: them to make. I think it's when they have to make.
Speaker 4: But we'll see if they make it.
Speaker 1: Righty, help me out, your friend. Have you been up
Speaker 1: in the cant Lips yet hanging out with the moach
Speaker 1: at Lions camp.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was up there on Tuesday.
Speaker 10: I wanted to make sure I got there for the
Speaker 10: first pad in practice and I thought this Canuck decision
Speaker 10: might take until later in the week, And yeah, it
Speaker 10: was fun. I was encouraged by what I saw, right.
Speaker 10: I think this team is farther ahead in training camp
Speaker 10: than they were a year ago.
Speaker 4: There's fewer holes and fewer questions. You know, there's some questions.
Speaker 10: In certain position groups about what it's going to look like,
Speaker 10: right Like I've had some questions along offensive line. But
Speaker 10: if they can get to a place with four Americans
Speaker 10: without it severely compromising the receiving corps, I think it
Speaker 10: looked good, right, like the.
Speaker 4: Four American combination.
Speaker 10: I saw John Allen, Corey woodriff at the tackles, so
Speaker 10: I think they look very good. Yates and Schlugger inside
Speaker 10: at the guards, you know, I thought looked really solid.
Speaker 10: So I think that part could look really good. And
Speaker 10: you know, we'll see what that makes the receivers turn into.
Speaker 10: And then the secondary is a question that I have
Speaker 10: right and I think that'll play itself out as we
Speaker 10: go through training camp and things like that. But when
Speaker 10: I look at the front seven, the D line, the linebackers,
Speaker 10: I'm excited about what I see.
Speaker 4: So, Yeah, Nathan orcle looks really really sharp.
Speaker 10: You can tell that it's your two in Buck Pierce's
Speaker 10: system right in terms of of how he's going through
Speaker 10: his progressions and the patients that he's showing. So I'm
Speaker 10: encouraged about what I've seen so far. Like you know, Rick,
Speaker 10: I know how much you like Saskatchewan you accuse me
Speaker 10: of like winnipe I, And know how much you like Saskatchewan.
Speaker 4: I think BC can take that this year.
Speaker 1: I've been saying Line's great cup for how many weeks? Now?
Speaker 1: Don you know this? Now? This is him jumping on
Speaker 1: the bandwagon. This is him jumping on the bandwagon. Disgusting
Speaker 1: you disgusted it.
Speaker 4: I shoot up here. And the first thing Rick says
Speaker 4: is can the lines when the great cup? Can?
Speaker 1: I just go to question. Yeah, you love your winnipit
Speaker 1: guys because they feed you all the scoops. But I'll
Speaker 1: tell you, lions what they're gonna win it. Let's get
Speaker 1: serious for it for one second. Here.
Speaker 3: Last Wednesday, U MC an event pushing for a Punch
Speaker 3: McLean statue outside of the Police Park arena.
Speaker 1: Punch was there.
Speaker 3: Two days later, He's killed in a car crash. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna ask the obvious question, how shocked were you?
Speaker 4: A stunned?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: I mean for it to happen two days later?
Speaker 10: The timing of all of that, and when you think
Speaker 10: of what Punch has managed to survive throughout his career, right,
Speaker 10: and all that said, got gosh. I can't imagine why
Speaker 10: a ninety three year old man would be driving him
Speaker 10: to these lake right, Like, I wish that had happened,
Speaker 10: right just because I wanted to. I wanted to see
Speaker 10: Punch at the next Connect game. I wanted to see
Speaker 10: Punch when we got this statue unveiled. But at the
Speaker 10: same time, guys like, if you'd have seen punch his
Speaker 10: face on Wednesday, how many of us get to go
Speaker 10: to our own celebration of life, right, And that's what
Speaker 10: I feel like he did, right, because forty eight hours
Speaker 10: later he was gone, and he was there and Billy
Speaker 10: Ranford and Mark Lofthouse and so many others were in
Speaker 10: attendance to celebrate him and to say all these nice
Speaker 10: things about him, and.
Speaker 4: He was beaming.
Speaker 10: He was so happy that event happened and that he
Speaker 10: got to be there to witness it.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 10: We put him there in this big leather armoire and
Speaker 10: then next to the next to the podium where people talked,
Speaker 10: and he just was smiling from ear to ear. So
Speaker 10: I'm so grateful that the Legacy Foundation, with Patrick Singh
Speaker 10: and Hart Pandera and others were able to put that
Speaker 10: whole thing together and.
Speaker 4: That he was able to celebrate and be there. But
Speaker 4: I I wish he could still be with.
Speaker 10: Us for the next canduct game and for the statue
Speaker 10: to eventually get get done and passed and unveiled.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the statue issue is by by no means passed by,
Speaker 3: but that's a that's a wonderful way to look at
Speaker 3: Wednesday a positive way.
Speaker 1: That was it was his celebration of life. He was
Speaker 1: he was there for it. Thanks for this. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to you next week.
Speaker 4: All right, boys, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Fire analogy t SN.
Speaker 3: He makes a point that we talked about before, asked
Speaker 3: a question that we asked before the show started. Who's
Speaker 3: going to be there representing the Canucks? At the very
Speaker 3: top will be Jim Ruththerford, will be Francesco. Actually, I've
Speaker 3: reached out to somebody who is involved with the Canucks
Speaker 3: and that at this point, but we're, you know what,
Speaker 3: two and a half hours away from that press conference.
Speaker 3: They don't know, they don't know, they don't know what
Speaker 3: at this point, and I'm you know, I usually go
Speaker 3: up against Ryan in this situation, like Francesca waclone doesn't
Speaker 3: have to speak in order to be considered a good owner.
Speaker 3: But I think think in this case, if Jim Ruthifford's
Speaker 3: not talking, I don't know what he cleaned out his
Speaker 3: office the other day, I don't know where he is.
Speaker 3: I don't know what his role is anyway, Advisor, we
Speaker 3: don't know. But the guy at the very top is
Speaker 3: Francesco Equaillini. This might be a time where he needs
Speaker 3: to be there.
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent with you.
Speaker 3: Okay, a break and we'll deal with the poll question next.
Speaker 3: Talk more about the Canucks decision. We've got to deal
Speaker 3: with again for the emptieth day in a row. Deal
Speaker 3: with the latest on the white Caps. For one thing,
Speaker 3: they won again last night. Donny Dell had the team

Speaker 1: Dog Poll question one o'clock canuck O pressor Jane Reduced,
Speaker 1: Daniel and Henrik Sedin as team presidents. Ryan Johnson is
Speaker 1: their new GM Experience. One of Victoria's iconic destinations, sleep sip,
Speaker 1: stock up all in one legendary spot, Come, sit and
Speaker 1: stay at the dog today. Rick, all right, here we go, Ryan,
Speaker 1: get her up the waddling dog. Pop pople question, what's
Speaker 1: the most important question you want to answer to today's
Speaker 1: Canuck's press conference? And look at this, by a large margin,
Speaker 1: commitment to the rebuild is at sixty three percent. Then
Speaker 1: comes the head coach. We need clarity his foot staying.
Speaker 1: Is Maholtra gone dealing with Patterson? Are you gonna move
Speaker 1: them this summer at the draft? And then the rest
Speaker 1: of the management structure is at last place there so
Speaker 1: there you go.
Speaker 3: Okay again, But with EP forty, it's it's not necessarily
Speaker 3: the trading that I want to hear about or.
Speaker 1: Him being true.
Speaker 3: Oh no, you get the guy, but make sure we
Speaker 3: comes to camp in shape. It's been an issue the
Speaker 3: last two years. That's number one for me with him.
Speaker 1: One can trade him. You're paying them eleven six Donnie.
Speaker 1: It's one of the biggest cap hits in the NHL.
Speaker 1: Move your feet training's not good, practice, habits not good.
Speaker 1: You're paying a guy eleven point six million, and coaches
Speaker 1: talk it. They all complained about him, every single one.
Speaker 3: Of them, I'll tell you. And Ryan and I talked
Speaker 3: about this before the show. I have a and that
Speaker 3: was just a fabulous game last night.
Speaker 1: Ryan, Oh, your take on how bad the playoffs are
Speaker 1: from an entertainment point of view is so wrong.
Speaker 3: That was just fabulous last night. Three nothing comeback in
Speaker 3: the playoffs, which you never saw it ten twenty years ago.
Speaker 3: It was just absolutely fabulous entertainment. The speed, the talent,
Speaker 3: you know, the desire that the Avalanche showed. It was
Speaker 3: just a I thought was just amazing. But I have
Speaker 3: a hard time watching Martin and hs Oh do you
Speaker 3: not two sure? But I'm talking about his entire He's
Speaker 3: a borderline dominant play out there. And the fact that
Speaker 3: the Canucks had a chance wait for that guy this
Speaker 3: close Canucks for this question for Natures, It's just it's
Speaker 3: it's hard to watch.
Speaker 1: It was close, it is Petterson for nets was close
Speaker 1: and then it fell apart.
Speaker 3: Okay, we have a tweet from our friend Bob mr Janovich.
Speaker 1: Ryan, this is from the Modes. We asked the question
Speaker 1: just moments ago in the previous segment, Who's going to
Speaker 1: be speaking at the very top of the Canucks' hierarchy
Speaker 1: at today's one o'clock press conference. Will Jim Mutherford be
Speaker 1: there will Francesco Aquallini be there. Here's moch his tweetreck Yeah,
Speaker 1: so here in the Canucks owner Francesco Aquillini will be
Speaker 1: at the one pm press conference so Rogers Arena. So
Speaker 1: there's a Donny, there's the answer we were looking for
Speaker 1: this morning. The owner of the Vancouver Canucks, Francesco Aquillini
Speaker 1: will Donnie will be at the presser and talk. So
Speaker 1: I think the media needs to ask some tough questions.
Speaker 1: You know, how were you in Game seven against Evonton
Speaker 1: two years ago? How are you dead last in the
Speaker 1: NHL two years later? Don I think there's some tough
Speaker 1: questions here. I think there's some tough questions.
Speaker 3: Well, I think the number one question is what you
Speaker 3: know we were talking about in the poll one of
Speaker 3: our are you really committed to this rebuilt rebuilt? Because
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people still have a hard
Speaker 3: time believing that actions speak loud of than words, and
Speaker 3: their actions tell you that they are a definitely committed
Speaker 3: to the rebuilding.
Speaker 1: The thing that we haven't brought up today.
Speaker 3: And I'm you know, with Jim Rutherford cleaning out his
Speaker 3: office reportedly yesterday, where are the Canucks when it comes
Speaker 3: to a practice facility, because Jim Ruththerford let.
Speaker 1: Us know that that was one of his priorities.
Speaker 3: Now that he's taken on, if you want to call
Speaker 3: it a lesser role, that he'll focus on where training
Speaker 3: camp is going to be and a practice facility. So
Speaker 3: that's going to be one of the questions I would think, yes,
Speaker 3: other than hey, you know, why do you decide on
Speaker 3: Henrik and Daniel and Johnson?
Speaker 1: How much are you paying them? And that sort of
Speaker 1: thing that's obvious, But what what's the latest on the
Speaker 1: practice facility, because in the very near future they will
Speaker 1: be the only NHL team without its own practice facilit
Speaker 1: I think there's good feedback about the practice facility. I
Speaker 1: really think it's going to happen. They're right there at
Speaker 1: the end. They blew it at UBC, and they blew
Speaker 1: it at Copeland, but I think this might happen at Britannia.
Speaker 1: At Britannia, I think it's going to happen.
Speaker 3: So the latest we heard is that there they are
Speaker 3: trying and everybody understands this for a second sheet at Britannia.
Speaker 3: Is that what you've heard, because right now there's it's
Speaker 3: not the space.
Speaker 1: In the world.
Speaker 3: I don't know how many times you've been there, but
Speaker 3: it's not the biggest footprint.
Speaker 1: In the world. I just wonder, is there room for.
Speaker 3: Two sheets of ice, which would be in underground parking?
Speaker 3: I would I would imagine absolutely, they've thought about it.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of questions they've wondered, can we get
Speaker 1: a second sheet? Uh, maple Leafs have three sheets? I think, well, Seattle,
Speaker 1: most teams have multiple sheets. Philadelphia and let's hope.
Speaker 3: Let's the the minor hockey association that's there is a
Speaker 3: real strong one in the Vancouver storm, and you hope
Speaker 3: they don't get affected in an adverse way if there's
Speaker 3: only one sheet of ice there, right, I wouldn't think
Speaker 3: that would be horrible from a pr point of view
Speaker 3: for the Canucks, but you know, you hope that and
Speaker 3: Jphor did you not say recently, like you know, you
Speaker 3: just mentioned they've been down there, they were close before
Speaker 3: Copeland Copeland ub close and that they're they're close here
Speaker 3: and you hope it doesn't go He was hoping.
Speaker 1: I don't go sideways. I don't see it going. Everything
Speaker 1: I've heard is it should happen, and they're taking.
Speaker 3: The community in the neighborhood and the Minor Hockey Association
Speaker 3: into consideration in a really, really significant way, so that
Speaker 3: that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: But I need two sheets there, Donny. And also here's
Speaker 1: the other one for you. You know what, Until I
Speaker 1: see a shovel in the ground, something in the air,
Speaker 1: Until I want to see that shovel on the ground,
Speaker 1: I want to see the photo. I want to see
Speaker 1: the ribbon, I want to see the mayor. Until I
Speaker 1: see that you were gonna say something wrong.
Speaker 5: I don't care about any of that. I don't care
Speaker 5: about shovel hearing from a practice facility. This guy needs
Speaker 5: to answer for the fact that under his watch, this
Speaker 5: organization going back to twenty eleven, has been a dumb disaster.
Speaker 6: Does that moment in time?
Speaker 1: Does that on top of it? All you've done, all
Speaker 1: you've done is past gonna say anything, Okay, get asked.
Speaker 3: You'd love to, Yeah, you'd love to hear that. Going
Speaker 3: to say anything, he's that's pat I want to hear that.
Speaker 1: No into a rebuild done? Ryan so wrong here, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 6: The last time we heard from him to introduce Retfford,
Speaker 6: what's happened since that time?
Speaker 1: Okay, we all know what's happened. They screwed up left
Speaker 1: and right. I want to know, number one, are you
Speaker 1: committed to a rebuild? You know, like what, He's not
Speaker 1: gonna He's not gonna be able to explain.
Speaker 3: He's not gonna want to explain what's happened since twenty eleven,
Speaker 3: since Tortorella, Ruthaford, all of this, Bruce Boudreau. He's not
Speaker 3: gonna say it. I want to know, are you committed
Speaker 3: to make sure things better by committing to a rebuild
Speaker 3: and working on the future of this hockey club?
Speaker 1: Or are you really committed? Number one? You have to
Speaker 1: also ask him.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, since the last time you sat in front
Speaker 5: of a mic, all that's happened outside of two playoff rounds?
Speaker 5: Is this franchise been a disaster? Yeah, arguably the best
Speaker 5: player ever got forced out of town. Or decide to
Speaker 5: leave your organization, A popular coach decided to leave your organization.
Speaker 1: You know happened, Ryan, they screwed up. He's not gonna
Speaker 1: say I agree, So you have to get asked you
Speaker 1: about You have to ask that, and you know what
Speaker 1: he's gonna say, not much. I don't care to stumble
Speaker 1: and bubble.
Speaker 6: So he's like that, if you want to hear about
Speaker 6: the practice facility, I don't give it.
Speaker 1: It's one other questions. It's one of them. It's relaxed.
Speaker 1: I want to know, you know what happened? They screwed
Speaker 1: up like that? So what I want to hear it
Speaker 1: from him? I'm sure you know you never talk of
Speaker 1: these fans. He only does the only talking obvious answer,
Speaker 1: and there isn't obvious, So what who cares obvious? Everything's obvious?
Speaker 1: I want not.
Speaker 3: The more important thing to hear from him is whether
Speaker 3: or not he's I'm I'm repeating myself here, is whether
Speaker 3: they're committed to a rebuild or not? Which is the
Speaker 3: which is the positive way to go for this franchise.
Speaker 3: I do care what happened in the past. I hope
Speaker 3: that he learned from the mistakes they made in the past.
Speaker 3: That's not the number one thing I want to hear.
Speaker 1: But he doesn't enough to answer for it at all.
Speaker 1: It's not a well I guess it is in a way,
Speaker 1: but it's not a trial. I want to ask him
Speaker 1: why so much drama with this team? Always bad news
Speaker 1: off the ice? Oh you kicked out a reporter. You
Speaker 1: did this right, you did exactly. There's always negative stories
Speaker 1: about this team all and the time.
Speaker 3: How is that going to make the team better by
Speaker 3: it by he's talking to say anything not so you
Speaker 3: don't ask him that questions. But I I the list
Speaker 3: of questions I want answered. I want to know about
Speaker 3: the commitment to rebuild.
Speaker 1: I want to know about the practice facility. That's donny.
Speaker 6: This year, arguably are going to draft the arguably the
Speaker 6: best player of the franchise just had this year, decided
Speaker 6: I'm out of here this year, this this season out?
Speaker 1: Yeah huge, Well, all these guys, I'm saying, just this year,
Speaker 1: what's he gonna tell you? I don't care. You have
Speaker 1: to ask him, though you have to.
Speaker 6: He's gonna give you a whole bunch of corporate talking points.
Speaker 12: I know.
Speaker 1: The number one.
Speaker 3: Thing anybody wants answered is if you've got a brain
Speaker 3: in your head, which is debatable in this studio today,
Speaker 3: is like, are you committed to a rebuild because you
Speaker 3: haven't in the past, and if you if, if you
Speaker 3: are now, that's the way to go.
Speaker 1: That's what I want to answer. I also need I
Speaker 1: also need to know are you gonna like Donny. I
Speaker 1: also need to know are you gonna butt in? Are
Speaker 1: you going? Because good we knew. I like that. I
Speaker 1: got the horror stories from agents about him button in
Speaker 1: on Jim Ben and when Jim Jim was the guy,
Speaker 1: and so you know what, are you gonna let these
Speaker 1: guys do their jobs? Are you gonna let the Sadeens
Speaker 1: do their jobs? And Ryan Jah? Or are you gonna
Speaker 1: butt in? I got it on pretty good authority that
Speaker 1: for the most of Rutherford's tenure he didn't butt in.
Speaker 1: Because Jim's a three times Stanley Cup champan, he would
Speaker 1: have told him in his first meeting, you butt in
Speaker 1: and I'm gone. But when I see rookies like Ryan
Speaker 1: Johnson and the Sadeen twins, I could see his head
Speaker 1: sorry about that, you can see his head turn in.
Speaker 3: I want to know about what's going on moving forward
Speaker 3: because you have screwed up in the past, and you
Speaker 3: can say what you want about we should have done this,
Speaker 3: we should.
Speaker 1: Have done I will say this.
Speaker 3: I would love him to say, I we messed up
Speaker 3: in the past. I don't have to go through everything
Speaker 3: we've learned from it and what like Rick said, I
Speaker 3: don't want to meddle anymore.
Speaker 1: I want to conn that's a question, are you gonna meddle?
Speaker 1: Since twenty eleven? Nothing? And I also want to know
Speaker 1: the prices for season ticket holders, and I want to
Speaker 1: know the cost to go into a can game? Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it? Ever? What's going on? It's like, are we
Speaker 1: looking at a Canuck fan spending two, three, four hundred
Speaker 1: bucks now to go to game in the near future?
Speaker 1: Like where are we going? And in the last fifteen years?
Speaker 1: Since twenty eleven? What is it? One playoff round win?
Speaker 1: Is it one or two? If twenty eleven, yes, since
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, is it one or two? I think it's
Speaker 1: depends on that.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty in Nashville if you want to count twenty twenty,
Speaker 3: yet the minutes of the bubble, that was a play
Speaker 3: and then that was a play knocked off the blue,
Speaker 3: so to two rounds they won.
Speaker 1: Well, that's all the past. We shouldn't ask him about it.
Speaker 6: We should only ask about the future going forward.
Speaker 1: That's all in the past. Don't worry about it. Well,
Speaker 1: what do you what are you going to ask him?
Speaker 1: How many rounds you've won? No, they screwed up? And
Speaker 1: I go for funny. He's been screwing up for fifteen years. Hey,
Speaker 1: we all know that I want to know about the
Speaker 1: Commitmentture rebuilt and what you said is bang on as well.
Speaker 3: Yes, are you gonna be accused of meddling? Are you
Speaker 3: going to continue to do that with this group?
Speaker 1: Arthur Griffiths would tell me all the time we hired
Speaker 1: pac Quinn. We're not telling Packquinn what to do. We
Speaker 1: hired Pat and said, Pat, you do your job. That
Speaker 1: doesn't happen here. Huh. Oh.
Speaker 3: If I could go into time tunnel, I would. We
Speaker 3: had a plan for this segment. Now it's all gone sideways. Okay,

Speaker 5: for he introduced him.
Speaker 6: What's happened since that time under his watch needs to
Speaker 6: be asked about today.
Speaker 3: I'll give you this a quick look. It's happened the
Speaker 3: last fifteen years, whatever the case, because unacceptable. We've made mistakes.
Speaker 3: I've made mistakes, We've learned from them. Now we're moving forward.
Speaker 1: That would be fun. Yeah, but if you don't even
Speaker 1: want to go you don't want to go back to
Speaker 1: the past. Is the past? Move forward?
Speaker 6: Passes the past, Donnie. They traded Quinn.
Speaker 5: He was in December, like, if you don't want to
Speaker 5: go back to twenty eleven now, it's been a disaster.
Speaker 3: So how does that make the team better? Him answering
Speaker 3: that question, Explain that to.
Speaker 5: Me, because under your watches, owner of this team, arguably
Speaker 5: the best player.
Speaker 6: Ever to play for it, said I want out of it?
Speaker 1: Why and how does that make the team better?
Speaker 3: Answering that question, it makes me, But the committee to
Speaker 3: you that the owner makes the team better. Getting a
Speaker 3: practice for sure, but you sakes the team better, and
Speaker 3: the ses if you're not gonna make it.
Speaker 5: If he says today I'm committed to a rebuild, you
Speaker 5: know what everybody's gonna say.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we'll see. I'll give you that, and That's what I'm.
Speaker 6: Gonna say too, we'll see. It all depends on the
Speaker 6: moves they make. He can say what he wants.
Speaker 5: The actions is going to speak for it, but to
Speaker 5: not say that he doesn't have to answer.
Speaker 3: The best player in franchise history. Why have they only
Speaker 3: won two series because they screwed up left and right?
Speaker 3: You're an answer, but the agent, the agents, he wants
Speaker 3: them to go.
Speaker 6: Point by a team underperforming and people willingly leaving your franchise,
Speaker 6: like saying I don't want to be here.
Speaker 1: Two kings, they two separate, very separately. Screwed up?
Speaker 3: Do you want him too? Wanted to take every single thing.
Speaker 3: I know he needs the hiring of Tortrella. Let's go
Speaker 3: back to that.
Speaker 1: That was the owner. That was the owner. Tortorella was
Speaker 1: the owner. It was not Mike Gillis.
Speaker 5: But under Rutherford's like under the guy you had. I'm sorry,
Speaker 5: there's a lot to answer for it since the last
Speaker 5: time he took screw it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say that, but I want to know
Speaker 1: about the future.
Speaker 3: Look, listen, time is running out on me and a
Speaker 3: lot of people to see this team when it's Stanley Cup.
Speaker 3: They screwed up.
Speaker 1: In the past.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm very very aware of that. I don't want
Speaker 3: to hear that again. I want to hear what they're
Speaker 3: doing right now and in the future. I want to
Speaker 3: you know, what are you guys going to do help
Speaker 3: the long suffering fans of this town get themselves the
Speaker 3: Stanley Cup Parade and maybe a third riot.
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, I mean, and he's not going to say
Speaker 1: this is two three years away. Ryan, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: that much. Right now. We'll see one of the All
Speaker 1: these GM candidates were honest. They did learn a lot
Speaker 1: in this GM search a lot. And it wasn't just
Speaker 1: you guys are awful and you're in thirty second and
Speaker 1: you got nothing in Absburg, you got no prospects. They
Speaker 1: heard all that, but they got more information as well.
Speaker 1: They are behind the times. They know this is going
Speaker 1: to be it's going to take five years plus to
Speaker 1: get back. You like to hear that. You'd like to
Speaker 1: hear that. You want to hear that they know they
Speaker 1: learned a lot in the GM search.
Speaker 3: Do you have any time for anything else?
Speaker 1: I want?
Speaker 6: I want to mention some white Caps news because it's
Speaker 6: going to hit close to you guys.
Speaker 1: Are we going to talk about the meeting gains.
Speaker 5: We'll say that from later. But the white Caps are
Speaker 5: going back to Swangarden. They announced it yesterday officially because
Speaker 5: of the World Cup. They have to play their upcoming
Speaker 5: Canadian Championship game happening on July the eighth at Swanguard Stadium.
Speaker 5: They're gonna take on Calvary FC out of Calgary, of course,
Speaker 5: the CPL team July the eighth at seven thirty pm.
Speaker 5: So the white Caps are heading.
Speaker 6: Back to small, little quaint swan Guard Stadium for.
Speaker 1: The CPO Sward.
Speaker 6: But it's small.
Speaker 1: I mean, was it five thousand beautiful beautiful play five
Speaker 1: thousand capacity? I want to say, Ryan, Donnie and I
Speaker 1: covered many eighty six er games at swan Garden when
Speaker 1: Carl Valentine was a coach, and Donnie wrote an article
Speaker 1: in the Province one day is sticking up for Carl
Speaker 1: because they were all over Carl. But anyway, what's he's
Speaker 1: doing for you? Remember that? Where else you going to
Speaker 1: go in the Lower Mainland.
Speaker 6: To be honest, the only other place would be well,
Speaker 6: Langley at the Vancouver Home the Willoughby's Park there, But
Speaker 6: I've heard that logistically that doesn't really work.
Speaker 3: But anyway, song Guards in the middle of town, the
Speaker 3: middle of you know, the greater Vancouver, it makes it
Speaker 3: makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So hearkening back, it's a it's a.
Speaker 3: Look at You're gonna so many games there, the eighty
Speaker 3: six ers games as a reporter.
Speaker 1: I love that lot. I know this is MLS is
Speaker 1: such a great product.
Speaker 3: I love that era of Vancouver professional soccer because they
Speaker 3: Bobby and Buzz Parsons and Milano Lych they kept they
Speaker 3: kept it alive.
Speaker 1: They kept pro soccer alive.
Speaker 6: Absolutely and look at swing Guard has stood the test
Speaker 6: of time.
Speaker 1: The Riots play over there now It's still used a lot.
Speaker 1: It makes sense.
Speaker 5: So that's July the eighth for Leg one of the
Speaker 5: Canadian Championship quarterfinal featuring the white Caps.
Speaker 6: White Caps win yesterday three to two in Dallas. They
Speaker 6: came back and won.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 6: We will have a little bit more news on the
Speaker 6: white Caps and their future maybe around eleven fifteen. We'll
Speaker 6: see what happens. But there's a statement release today we'll
Speaker 6: talk about.
Speaker 3: Let me mention the dominant Mobilly that thin Dominic, Pro
Speaker 3: soccer alive and John con and others.

Speaker 3: talk about that from the Athletic Sports that's six fifty
Speaker 3: our friend Thomas Drantz. Thomas, thanks for doing this, SIRT
Speaker 3: imagine you're going down to the arena.
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll be running over there in time for Canucks
Speaker 7: talk in an hour, So gonna be an interesting hustle
Speaker 7: for me after this hit, gentlemen, But I'm excited to
Speaker 7: hear what everybody assembled on that DAAs has to say.
Speaker 7: I saw moje and Gary Mason confirming that Francesco Aquallini
Speaker 7: will be at the press conference. Will he be a
Speaker 7: speaker at it? I assume that's what they mean, But
Speaker 7: that'll be interesting. You know, it's a new management group
Speaker 7: for the Vancouver Canucks, but is it a new day?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 7: That's the question that I think is in everybody's mind.
Speaker 7: How much change does this really represent? Zent giving that
Speaker 7: we're talking about a trio of internal promotions, you know,
Speaker 7: I think that's the challenge for Ryan Johnson and the
Speaker 7: Twins today is to convince this market that this is fresh,
Speaker 7: even though we've long associated those three gentlemen with this franchise.
Speaker 3: What do you and we don't like you say? We
Speaker 3: don't know if he is going to speak, but if
Speaker 3: he does, what would you like to hear before anything
Speaker 3: else from Francesca Equolini.
Speaker 11: I've done a long less, Donnie. I'm not gonna lie,
Speaker 11: but I think number one.
Speaker 7: Number one is we know that the competitive integrity of
Speaker 7: the Vancouver Canucks is compromised in the short term, and
Speaker 7: we know that the salary cap is going on. And
Speaker 7: we also know from what we've seen in for example,
Speaker 7: Montreal versus Buffalo, two teams playing in the playoffs now right.
Speaker 7: One rebuild was done with the sorts of resources that
Speaker 7: you'd expect from an original six iconic franchise in a
Speaker 7: hot Canadian market in Montreal, and it was extremely quick.
Speaker 7: And by the way, I know that series is tied,
Speaker 7: but you've been watching which teams look better?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 7: The other was done and it took fourteen fifteen years,
Speaker 7: with resources being scant, especially over the last six years,
Speaker 7: and it took an awful lot longer for that team
Speaker 7: to arrive at its destination. Right, what sort of resources
Speaker 7: can the three gentlemen now at the top of the
Speaker 7: Canucks hockey operations pyramid expect during seasons that we expect
Speaker 7: to be lean in terms of the on ice results.
Speaker 7: That's I think the number one thing that I'm curious
Speaker 7: to hear him address.
Speaker 1: Of concerned this week, Thomas is Evan Gold wanted a
Speaker 1: bigger analytics department in Vancouver. He didn't think the Canucks
Speaker 1: had the technical resources required. He wanted them to invest
Speaker 1: in analytics in that area. And then we hear that
Speaker 1: the Canucks couldn't satisfy him on salary because salary was
Speaker 1: an issue. Those things right there they turned me as well.
Speaker 7: I agree with you, non cap spending has been a
Speaker 7: long term issue for this team. I do want to note, though,
Speaker 7: like I haven't been able to confirm what you're saying
Speaker 7: about how far down the road the Canucks got with
Speaker 7: Evan Gold. My indications are to this point that you
Speaker 7: know the process, Like, I don't know that they were
Speaker 7: negotiating with him. I know it's been reported, and I
Speaker 7: trust those reports, but I don't know that yet, and
Speaker 7: so I'm a little leery of commenting further on that
Speaker 7: specific example. Rick, I want to take the weekend and
Speaker 7: like really dig into what happened, because this was a
Speaker 7: really interesting process across the last ten days, you know,
Speaker 7: from the Pierre Dorian thing to the Evan Gold thing,
Speaker 7: to the late arrival of the Sadeine Twins and ultimately
Speaker 7: today where Ryan Johnson and the Cideen Twins are going
Speaker 7: to take over at Canucks hockey operations. So it's a
Speaker 7: really interesting process to watch unfold on social media. And
Speaker 7: I'm still trying to parse and figure out exactly how
Speaker 7: much of the social media perception where if you know,
Speaker 7: you'd logged onto Twitter between Thursday and Monday, you would
Speaker 7: have thought that this was a coronation for Evan Gold,
Speaker 7: and obviously that's not where we landed.
Speaker 11: How much of that perception.
Speaker 7: Is connected to fact right, and how much of it
Speaker 7: is vapor I'm still not sure, So I'm a little
Speaker 7: leery about waiting too deep into those waters.
Speaker 1: Rick Well, I know for a fact they talked to
Speaker 1: Evan Gold, what do you need to be the GM
Speaker 1: of the Canucks. I need the analytics to be better
Speaker 1: and here's my salary demand. Well, we can't meet that.
Speaker 1: So anyways, I'm confident that took place. Adam Foot, Maddy moholtrap.
Speaker 1: That has got to be the first question to Ryan
Speaker 1: Johnson and the Twins today, what are you doing with
Speaker 1: the coaches?
Speaker 11: You're right, it's a big question, you know.
Speaker 7: My view of it is at this point, Adam Foot
Speaker 7: has been sitting around for a month since the season
Speaker 7: ended with no clarity on his future. His staff has
Speaker 7: no clarity on their future incoming general manager.
Speaker 11: You know, I don't expect there to be like a
Speaker 11: rip the band aid off coaching change today.
Speaker 7: I look, I suppose anything can happen, but I'd be
Speaker 7: surprised by that. And you know, my view of it
Speaker 7: would be, this is me editorializing. My view of it
Speaker 7: would be that at this point you at least owe
Speaker 7: your current head coach a conversation. As an incoming general
Speaker 7: manager like you at least owed them a conversation and
Speaker 7: a chance to, you know, chat it out and express
Speaker 7: sort of your concerns and see what their answers are
Speaker 7: and take the measure of the man and figure out
Speaker 7: what your plan.
Speaker 11: Is for me.
Speaker 7: That's how I would consider, you know, sort of what
Speaker 7: would be respectful, what would be fair to the head
Speaker 7: coach you're inheriting, as Ryan Johnson and the Citing twins are.
Speaker 7: And my gut would be, you know, those three are
Speaker 7: guys of substance. I think they're respectful. I think they'll
Speaker 7: probably follow a similar tack. We'll see what happens there.
Speaker 7: You know, we know how close Malhotra and Ryan Johnson are,
Speaker 7: how close their partnership has been down in abbitsburd So
Speaker 7: you know, I'm very curious to see how this all
Speaker 7: turns out, for sure, and I'm curious to hear what
Speaker 7: they have to say.
Speaker 11: But you know, I think it would be you know,
Speaker 11: I don't.
Speaker 7: Want to say something as firm as like untoward or
Speaker 7: the wrong way to do it if you were to
Speaker 7: do like the clean slate behind the bench today. But
Speaker 7: I think an incoming general manager rose an income. I
Speaker 7: was a head coach there and hired in a conversation
Speaker 7: before they make a decision either way.
Speaker 11: That's that's just my view of things.
Speaker 1: Thomas.
Speaker 3: We hear whispers about the relationship between the Sedines and
Speaker 3: the LEAs Peterson, they're eleven point six million dollars a
Speaker 3: year forward. What can you tell us about that? What
Speaker 3: do you know and what do you think they can
Speaker 3: do regarding his career now that they're presidents.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know it hasn't been a close relationship. I
Speaker 7: can tell you that for sure, in terms of what
Speaker 7: specifically they think about Peterson and what it means for
Speaker 7: this offseason, like does it make does the city and
Speaker 7: twins incoming make it more likely that the Canucks move
Speaker 7: to trade Elias Petterson.
Speaker 11: I mean, I'm not sure, Like I can't speak to that.
Speaker 7: What I will say is one of the challenges that
Speaker 7: I think a lot of people go through in life,
Speaker 7: in any walk of life, but in hockey for sure,
Speaker 7: when players transition to becoming coaches, and when coaches, you know,
Speaker 7: transition as Barry Trotz did in Nashville, to being managers,
Speaker 7: is that there's different modes of thinking that you need
Speaker 7: in all three roles.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 7: A player only cares about who can help me win,
Speaker 7: right when the chips are down in a tough physical
Speaker 7: playoff series, who can help me win? A coach will
Speaker 7: learn to trust a third line grinder, right, and they're like,
Speaker 7: that guy's indispensable, right, And a manager knows I can
Speaker 7: replace those guys and they have to know that, right.
Speaker 7: And so when you think about Elis Petterson, we know
Speaker 7: he's underperformed. We know the way he's carried himself has
Speaker 7: not been befitting of an eleven point six million dollar
Speaker 7: face of the franch guy.
Speaker 11: Right. Indisputably, those two things are true.
Speaker 7: And I understand then wanting a fresh start, wanting to
Speaker 7: be like, let's move on. But the fact remains that
Speaker 7: there are all sorts of structural things in his contract
Speaker 7: where his value will be higher in a few years.
Speaker 7: The Canucks are not, you know, facing some sort of
Speaker 7: competitive pressure to win in the next two years. Even
Speaker 7: if they were, they wouldn't be able to pull it off. So,
Speaker 7: you know, some patients looking at this as a manager,
Speaker 7: not looking at this as a former player, not looking
Speaker 7: this like this, at this like a development coach, right Like,
Speaker 7: in some ways, whatever their relationship is, to make the
Speaker 7: right decision for this hockey team. Now, they've kind of
Speaker 7: got to scrub their brain of whatever preconceived notions they
Speaker 7: have in terms of what they think Elias Petterson is
Speaker 7: as a person and a player, and you know, conduct
Speaker 7: themselves in a value minded way. And it's not just
Speaker 7: with Petterson, it's with every player on this team. Like
Speaker 7: they might look at Philipparonic and think that's a guy
Speaker 7: I could go to war with as a player.
Speaker 11: Great, that doesn't matter right now for a.
Speaker 7: Rebuilding team that needs to assesscitate the value of its organization.
Speaker 7: So I think this is a really interesting challenge for them.
Speaker 7: They're really going to need to very quickly, you know,
Speaker 7: because they've gone from players to coaches, right, and now
Speaker 7: they're now they're at the top of the hockey operations ladder,
Speaker 7: Like they've got to be really thoughtful about adjusting their
Speaker 7: thinking and thinking about the big picture and the best
Speaker 7: interests of the organization through.
Speaker 11: A wider lens. And it is a totally different discipline,
Speaker 11: a totally different motive.
Speaker 3: Thought so well said as always Thomas, you got to
Speaker 3: get going, get to that press conference.
Speaker 1: Let's go. We appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Thomas grants from the Athletic and Sports that six point fifty.
Speaker 3: He just bang on as always, Thomas is so good
Speaker 3: when when you talk about adjusting your thinking as a
Speaker 3: former player or a coach versus somebody in charge as
Speaker 3: a GM or.
Speaker 1: Or a president.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Phil Pronik's a great occuplayer, but in a rebuilding situation,
Speaker 3: if you can unload him all due respect for something
Speaker 3: that's going to help you in the future, yeah, you
Speaker 3: have to do it. You hate giving up on a
Speaker 3: guy like that, not giving up on him, but you're
Speaker 3: gonna You're gonna let him go for assets that fit
Speaker 3: your plan. And same thing with the LEAs Petterson. If
Speaker 3: you know, if you get offered something that that can
Speaker 3: really help you you got, you've got to let them go.
Speaker 3: You also have to realize that, yep, the contract is
Speaker 3: really tough to deal with, so is his recent on
Speaker 3: ice performance. But it's not as serious as it was
Speaker 3: when you were supposed to be competitive.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. The salary cap going up makes it a.
Speaker 3: Little bit easier to a little easier to swallow eleven much. Okay,
Speaker 3: how are we doing? Run uh waddling dog poll question
Speaker 3: and we'll talk that's next. We'll talk about the white
Speaker 3: Caps as well. More about the white Caps. Donny Dolly

Speaker 3: Wattlingdog bull question. As we look ahead to one o'clock
Speaker 3: Rogers Arena. Introduction of Daniel and Henrik Sedine by the Canucks.
Speaker 1: As co presidents of Hockey.
Speaker 3: Operations, Ryan Johnson as thirteenth general manager in franchise history.
Speaker 3: Bud Poyle was the first general manager.
Speaker 1: Coyle was a great GM and his son was a
Speaker 1: great gym in the NHL as well. David David yep
Speaker 1: experience one of Victoria's iconic destinations, the Waddling Dog sleep
Speaker 1: sipping stock up, all in one legendary spot.
Speaker 3: Come sit and stay at the dog today. One of
Speaker 3: these days will debate who the best GM and knock
Speaker 3: history was.
Speaker 1: Pack Quinn. It's not even close. Well, you know where
Speaker 1: I stand on that, Pack Quinn, Bran Brooks two for me,
Speaker 1: Mike Gillis. Here's my argument there.
Speaker 3: I don't see a statue of those guys on the
Speaker 3: side Froger's Arena.
Speaker 1: Okay, poll question, Ryan, get her up the waddling Dog,
Speaker 1: pop pole question. What's the most important question you want
Speaker 1: to answer today at the Canuck's press conference? And look
Speaker 1: at this leading by a wide margin sixty four percent.
Speaker 1: The commitment to the rebuild. Then comes the head coach.
Speaker 1: You know what are we doing here? Is Adam Foot returning?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna lose Manny Maholtz out of Toronto? Somebody else?
Speaker 1: Teams are Edmonton's looking for a coach, Toronto's looking for
Speaker 1: a coach. You don't think they're gonna want to talk
Speaker 1: to Manny Multra, damn rights dealing with eleven point six?
Speaker 13: Uh?
Speaker 1: And then comes at the end is of management structure.
Speaker 3: You know what coaching name is out there that doesn't
Speaker 3: get talked a lot?
Speaker 1: What's about?
Speaker 3: And I just him smiling after they knocked off the Oilers,
Speaker 3: the Jay Woodcroft, he's a good your agent contacts talk about.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they like Woodcraft. I think before the Canucks
Speaker 1: signed Adam Foot they talked to Woodcraft. He was one
Speaker 1: of their let's talk to Woodcroft.
Speaker 5: Well, uh, you're telling me the folks in in Edmonton
Speaker 5: are wondering about that Mulligan today. If you haven't heard
Speaker 5: Knoll blocks out of a job like they fired Woodcraft
Speaker 5: to bring Connors them.
Speaker 1: They did go to the Stanley Cup finals after making
Speaker 1: that change. Sure twice twice? Sure? Yeah? But you know
Speaker 1: what Rick, I look at, I look at complaining.
Speaker 3: This was during the regular seed his season as well,
Speaker 3: various postgame interviews with when David and dry Sidle, hinting
Speaker 3: that coaching is an issue in Edmonton, so.
Speaker 1: Which bugs me because it's get to the Stanley Cup
Speaker 1: final twice.
Speaker 6: You can't really if you're connor, how do you say anything.
Speaker 1: He was your guy, and they told us he had
Speaker 1: nothing to do. They told us he had they had,
Speaker 1: he had nothing.
Speaker 6: To do with the hiring of christ A Blo and
Speaker 6: his agent in the front front office did. Yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 6: I'm sure it's all one big coincidence.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: I'm so torn because I do not want to see
Speaker 3: the Edmonton Owners win another Stanley Cup.
Speaker 1: I've seen it five times.
Speaker 3: But I do want to see McDavid, who's a Canadian hero,
Speaker 3: a Canadian star. I want to see him, you know,
Speaker 3: win a Stanley Cup in his lifetime.
Speaker 5: Mark my words, probably a gold medal, but he wins
Speaker 5: one alongside Macklin, Celebrinian San Jose Well.
Speaker 3: I I heard a conversation today elsewhere, and I'm wondering
Speaker 3: if just and people who are old enough to remember
Speaker 3: this won't think I'm out of my mind. Paul Korea
Speaker 3: uh team of Solani situation. When we talked about this
Speaker 3: before where they signed that one year, one million dollar
Speaker 3: per contract with Colorado. It didn't work out, but I'm
Speaker 3: just thinking with Connor, He's like, yeah, I'll join Macklin
Speaker 3: for a year. Well, him and matt for a small
Speaker 3: amount of money and get my cup.
Speaker 1: Him and Matthew's got big decisions to make here in
Speaker 1: the next couple of years.
Speaker 3: Vancouver White Caps they had first of all you mentioned earlier, Ryan,
Speaker 3: they won three to two in Dallas on Wednesday. They've
Speaker 3: now overtaken everybody or they've reclaimed first spot in the
Speaker 3: MLS standings, obviously first place in the West as well.
Speaker 3: They had to come back to do that down in
Speaker 3: Dallas against FC Dallas. Also, that meeting that we talked
Speaker 3: about yes yesterday took place in Vancouver. Caps ownership was
Speaker 3: represented there by Jeff Mallett. Actual Schuster was there, RAVI
Speaker 3: callan friend of the show from the BC government, Gregor
Speaker 3: Robertson from the federal government. He was there, from the proles,
Speaker 3: MLS representatives and representatives from the three first nation Slay
Speaker 3: with tooth, Musquiem and Squamish. They were all there, uh
Speaker 3: and are understanding.
Speaker 1: Is well, first of all, we'll do this, Rick.
Speaker 3: And you can you can read this? There was a
Speaker 3: statement released by the parties involved. We got that right.
Speaker 1: There, you go, This is your turn. You want me
Speaker 1: to read this? No, even with glasses, I can't, Ryan,
Speaker 1: you gotta make the letters. I can't read that. You
Speaker 1: said you're gonna read it. How can you not read it?
Speaker 1: The monitors? That's too smart. I can't read it. My
Speaker 1: eyes are worse than yours. You want me to read it.
Speaker 1: I got bad eyes, I got bad ears and a
Speaker 1: lot of other stuff bad. But that's too small, Ryan,
Speaker 1: Donny you read it? What kind of a team player
Speaker 1: are you? Okay? Get up, I'm gonna be okay. Joint
Speaker 1: Statement on Keeping the White Captain Vancouver. You really want
Speaker 1: me to read all this? The city, the province, the
Speaker 1: federal government, Musquium Judge over the first Selene about two nations,
Speaker 1: PavCo and private partners are lying to working together within
Speaker 1: a positive framework to deliver an even better future for soccer.
Speaker 1: I'm not reading. That's too long. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: that's too long.
Speaker 3: The better future includes improving the game day economic model
Speaker 3: bas place, exploring additional sponsorship opportunities, and advancing work of
Speaker 3: potential sites for new stadium and development.
Speaker 1: Let's be clear, Vancouver is open for business.
Speaker 3: We're doing everything we can to keep the White Camps here,
Speaker 3: and we are committed to building a long term solution
Speaker 3: that reflects the scale, ambition, and global future of this city.
Speaker 1: You know what I heard? That was for me. My
Speaker 1: eyes are worse than yours. Oh my eyes are. I
Speaker 1: went to see the eye doctor two weeks ago. Not good.
Speaker 1: Did you rip him like your normal doctor? She's nice,
Speaker 1: she's really nice. I think eye doctor the way you
Speaker 1: talk to your physicians. I've heard of eye doctors and
Speaker 1: ear doctors are way nicer than your regular doctor. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're generalizing the ear doctors and eye doctors dealing well,
Speaker 1: very nice people like but why would you want to
Speaker 1: rip your doctor? In tons of your guys a good
Speaker 1: blood test? He doesn't say good job. I don't like
Speaker 1: the nets the hell out of me.
Speaker 3: I don't like I went him when they don't get
Speaker 3: back to you soon. I don't like that, as you
Speaker 3: probably exactly.
Speaker 1: And you know what, how about say a nice job,
Speaker 1: but he's always nippicking, and you know, and though you.
Speaker 3: Want to just want to write subscriptions, rather we say nitpicking.
Speaker 3: He's telling him, maybe how I'm all for that.
Speaker 1: I go in there prepared with the doctor. I tell you, boy,
Speaker 1: I give it right back to him. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: want that guy or a woman on my side. But
Speaker 1: my eye doctor, she's a very nice lady.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'd rather have somebody who's just a complete jerk
Speaker 3: but is really good at their job as a doctor.
Speaker 6: Like honestly, So back to this statement, it doesn't really
Speaker 6: say much. It says what they're somewhat.
Speaker 1: Uneventful, but at least they're trying.
Speaker 6: Well, it's I shouldn't say it's uneventful.
Speaker 5: The fact everybody was in a room, including Jeff Mallet,
Speaker 5: one of the white Caps co owners. But that's there.
Speaker 5: So everybody was in a room that's big. They don't
Speaker 5: want to shed any light really on where this goes.
Speaker 3: And anybody there asked Jeff Mallet, co owner of the
Speaker 3: white Caps, about the mistakes of the past, because I
Speaker 3: think that's the most important thing you want to hear
Speaker 3: from an owner. You know, we're worried about the future
Speaker 3: of the French is.
Speaker 1: Let's deal with all the mistakes you made in the past.
Speaker 6: You're so wrong in that on that my eyes have
Speaker 6: been opened up. I didn't know how many franchise goack.
Speaker 5: With your eyes were open up. There's a part of
Speaker 5: your eyes. Everybody says, Aquiline gets to just move on,
Speaker 5: Scott Free. So then let's just move on today during
Speaker 5: the page.
Speaker 1: On a serious note, they got to figure this out.
Speaker 1: We can't we can't lose the white Caps. You know,
Speaker 1: we're in the sports business. There's an all sports station
Speaker 1: in town. If you if these guys walk, I mean
Speaker 1: that hurts us, It hurts the communities. These South Siders total,
Speaker 1: I think, are the best well group of fans that
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in Vancouver. You saw them in Miami
Speaker 1: last year. You see how loyal there are there every
Speaker 1: white Caps game. There's other groups cities. These guys are loyal,
Speaker 1: They spend their money, They cheer like hell. They have
Speaker 1: a great foundation. The found out soccer has been around
Speaker 1: here decades. You and I n ASL white Caps and
Speaker 1: we went to empire all that good stuff with the
Speaker 1: seats with these guys can't go. They got to find
Speaker 1: a way to keep up. Why you book, are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? Well?
Speaker 3: Look the other thing that is a major major consideration,
Speaker 3: and when you talk about the City City of Vancouver
Speaker 3: news report yesterday that I saw just what the white
Speaker 3: Caps and the Lions mean, and obviously the Canucks, but
Speaker 3: the white Caps, let's focus on them, because let's be honest,
Speaker 3: here's there's a danger here of them leaving. What they
Speaker 3: mean to the businesses in downtown Vancouver on match day
Speaker 3: and the money that bars and restaurants take in that
Speaker 3: they normally wouldn't. But there's a there's an MLS team here,
Speaker 3: there's a CFL team there, and it means a lot
Speaker 3: to the to the to those businesses. So you want
Speaker 3: to see it for the soccer fans, you want to
Speaker 3: see the white Caps day for them, but also for
Speaker 3: the businesses downtown. It's just so important for the economy
Speaker 3: game day.
Speaker 1: Say what you want to.
Speaker 3: There's so many these news people out there.
Speaker 1: We worked with them. They don't understand sports, they don't
Speaker 1: understand it, but they understand economics, and that will really
Speaker 1: hurt downtown business. The staff at BC Place on game days,
Speaker 1: all these people are going to be affected. If they
Speaker 1: get up and walk and leave the city. It's not
Speaker 1: a good thing in any respect. Somebody's got to step
Speaker 1: up and make it happen.
Speaker 3: And keep up, So stay tuned on that white Caps
Speaker 3: play at Houston by the way, on a Saturday. They
Speaker 3: don't play a home game until August first because of
Speaker 3: us other World Cup.

Speaker 3: Joel Ericsson Eck and Jonas Brodein were both injured, and that.

Speaker 1: Stanley Cup is the hardest thing to do in the world,
Speaker 1: or the car or the Stanley crp Okay, listen, the
Speaker 1: Sadeans is a fish. Thengratulation that Stanley Cupps are hard
Speaker 1: at Philadelphia. Rick Talcket feel for him. Twelve guys on
Speaker 1: Tippett was seriously injured, eleven other guy's hurt. The Sadeen
Speaker 1: should bring Alex Burrows back into the organization as an assistant.
Speaker 1: That's Justin and east fat look Justin. I love the thought,
Speaker 1: but this isn't bring all your favorite Canucks back. This
Speaker 1: is about hiring the right people to get you out
Speaker 1: of thirty second place. I don't care if it's a
Speaker 1: former Canuck, a former Canuck legend. I just hire the
Speaker 1: right people to get you out of this mess. It
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be Burrows the old linemates together. Why
Speaker 1: don't we bring every former Cannuck back? It doesn't work
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna get asked that question today, or if
Speaker 3: francescack will and he does take questions? Is this more
Speaker 3: of a pr move that's.
Speaker 1: Done the right hockey move, Dwight? Is it just me?
Speaker 3: I love watching Hughes get bounced around like a pinball,
Speaker 3: And yes, when it comes to the Canucks, I'm just
Speaker 3: a little vindictive.
Speaker 1: Was it Ross Colton who hit him in that game?
Speaker 1: Hit him?
Speaker 3: Knocked him to the ice. He was want to get
Speaker 3: back up and he hit him again. Didn't get a penalty,
Speaker 3: and I think a lot of Kannuck fans enjoyed seeing
Speaker 3: that right here. Yeah, and down he goes again.
Speaker 1: But you gotta do this. He's got to expect this.
Speaker 1: You're the best player, You're one of the best defensemen
Speaker 1: in the national hockey.
Speaker 3: And I think Minnesota is a terrific hockey boy. Colorado
Speaker 3: has been impressive. Their speed, my gosh, and again Minnesota
Speaker 3: missing players. Having said that though the drive they had
Speaker 3: to come back after falling down three nothing was amazing.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they added Kawdrey, like I don't
Speaker 1: know how they did it. But he's getting better and better. Aquiline,
Speaker 1: he needs to answer for his mistakes. He's never had
Speaker 1: to own up to anything. The reporters have to risk
Speaker 1: their credentials today to ask hard questions, says Scott from Pressure.
Speaker 3: Ask ask him about that. But and that's fine, you
Speaker 3: have to ask that.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 3: I care less about the past and more about the
Speaker 3: future as somebody who wants to see these guys lifting
Speaker 3: down the cup.
Speaker 1: One day, don Quinn Hughes, I want out Rick talking.
Speaker 1: I want out? Are you gonna go ask him all
Speaker 1: those things? But JT. Miller, I want out? Why are
Speaker 1: so many important people wanting out of your organization? That's
Speaker 1: the Because they screwed up, That's why. And hopefully they
Speaker 1: learned from it. Move forward, commit to the rebuild, hire
Speaker 1: the right people, and go from there.
Speaker 3: Make smart decisions. Hopefully they learn from it. The past
Speaker 3: is the past.
Speaker 1: What do you got? I hear music? Right? Oh? Learn
Speaker 1: from Rockford? Is it just me?
Speaker 3: But I think I just watched the beginning of Dumb
Speaker 3: and Dumber three, watching Donnie and Dolly chewing that gum.

Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight, right, but he sets from the eighties.
Speaker 1: I alsold it. But yeah, eighties, I'm fine. Seventy eight
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, that's seventies gum. You don't want
Speaker 1: to be doing dealing with that. It might take a
Speaker 1: day to get bad. What am I looking at here? Right?

Speaker 1: the eighties? Oh so best didn't last long? And oh
