Speaker 1: five second round Calder Cup playoff series, tied at one.
Speaker 1: Rick should be a lot of fun. Out there in Abbotsford.
Speaker 1: You would think with a whole lot of Vancouver.
Speaker 3: Prospects and possible new coach of the Canucks, Don Man,
Speaker 3: he willhold John. We got to keep an eye on
Speaker 3: him too.
Speaker 1: Do you know something is not?
Speaker 3: I don't know anything, but I do have people that
Speaker 3: keep telling me that he's going to be, you know,
Speaker 3: a strong candidate in Vancouver.
Speaker 1: There's another candidate that sort of has come out of nowhere,
Speaker 1: and that's Fabian Maelstrom. Stop it or connect one name wrong,
Speaker 1: first time ever and you're all over me. One thing
Speaker 1: we didn't mention about what's happening in that series they won.
Speaker 1: The Abbotsford Canucks did Game one Thursday, three one. The
Speaker 1: lost Game two five to four in overtime. That was
Speaker 1: on Saturday. They had to come back and they were
Speaker 1: down three to nothing early and they came back forced overtime,
Speaker 1: d up losing five to four. Ju Jack Karra, friend
Speaker 1: of the show, Guardia Hall hat trick in that game
Speaker 1: two goals, one assist, one fight. Got to get him
Speaker 1: back on the show. He CONTs entered the Guardia Hall
Speaker 1: hat trick. He's welcome back on the on the show.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and let's see how Lakara Macki does tonight. He
Speaker 3: was on a line with playing. Oh yeah, he practiced yesterday,
Speaker 3: so let's see if they throw him in. He has
Speaker 3: not played the last two games.
Speaker 1: So that's tonight at the Abbotsford Center. Why isn't the
Speaker 1: Abbotsford Center have a corporate sponsor? Do we know anybody?
Speaker 3: They would be the first rink outside of the Canucks
Speaker 3: rink to have one if they did. What do you mean, Well,
Speaker 3: there's no other rink in the Lower Mainland that's got
Speaker 3: a sponsor, or, is there?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 1: I think they're pretty good?
Speaker 5: Well Colonna, right doesn't isn't talking Lor Mainland with Victoria
Speaker 5: Victoria Save on.
Speaker 3: Food, Save on foods. Yeah, so why isn't there one
Speaker 3: in Abbitsburg?
Speaker 1: That's what I'm asking you.
Speaker 3: Well, let's get going.
Speaker 1: Well, BC plays famously or infamous doesn't.
Speaker 5: Have Yeah, but no, but they have. They have this
Speaker 5: save on foods field right for the Lions game. It's
Speaker 5: save on foods field at BC plays, and then tell.
Speaker 1: Us that Bailey has that too. I can't even.
Speaker 5: Rogers field at that Bailey Stadium.
Speaker 3: Revenue you know, the owner of the Canucks loves revenue streams.
Speaker 1: So what well, what owner does it? Okay? Done?
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just throwing it in there. I'm surprised
Speaker 3: that Francesco.
Speaker 1: They often come here for advice, we know, And yesterday
Speaker 1: I gave Patrick Alvin and Jim Rutherford an assignment look
Speaker 1: up on the rafters. So those retired numbers, all five
Speaker 1: of the six are are draft picks. Might want to
Speaker 1: keep those draft picks in the future, just the thought.
Speaker 1: But if you want to make a little bit more money,
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought a sponsor on that arena in Abbatsford
Speaker 1: would probably be the city that would get the money though, right,
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about that.
Speaker 5: There's no corporate name out there because now there's a
Speaker 5: permanent tenant. Like before, I understood it because it was
Speaker 5: just concerts.
Speaker 1: You know what, you know what when it first happened.
Speaker 1: And actually, when you think about it, it's been around
Speaker 1: for a long time, wrigley Field corporate sponsor. But it
Speaker 1: first became a big deal what in the nineties. And
Speaker 1: I predicted, all of us predicted this is not good
Speaker 1: because the names are going to change left and right,
Speaker 1: and sure enough, that's that's what's happening. You can't keep
Speaker 1: can't keep track anymore.
Speaker 5: The really historic places haven't though.
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadia, Yankee.
Speaker 5: Stadium, Old Trafford at Manchester.
Speaker 1: Right places, those teams, those franchises make so much money,
Speaker 1: have so much money, they probably don't need it. Ah,
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees, you're.
Speaker 5: Telling me there's a price. You're telling me that hab
Speaker 5: Obaba Gum comes to them and says, hey, you know,
Speaker 5: we want to be hubb o Baba Stadium.
Speaker 1: You know what my price would do? Huah bah baba
Speaker 1: for life, for life. Yeah, that's it, you're in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that entire Money's mushrooms Just get company, dude,
Speaker 3: Money's mushrooms abos for drink? What's wrong with that?
Speaker 1: That's the name.
Speaker 5: What's wrong with that? I love going to rip rip
Speaker 5: Money's mushrooms. Why you have a connection with money?
Speaker 3: I love Money's mushrooms, I think, and mushrooms are They're
Speaker 3: a superfood?

Speaker 5: nothing for your brain.
Speaker 1: I eat blueberries every days. Look at your brain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: imagine if you didn't. I'm working with you.
Speaker 5: So b Mac famously b Mac famously had a ton
Speaker 5: of mushrooms. Yeah, but or not bluerries. You might have
Speaker 5: eaten mushrooms too. I never talked about that. I have
Speaker 5: a blueberry story with the legal mushrooms.
Speaker 1: You're talking, yeah, yeah, berry like everybody's done this. I
Speaker 1: think I was there golfing it out there in Golden
Speaker 1: Eagle Pitt Meadows. Yeah, there's all those farms that sell
Speaker 1: the crates of blueberries owned by the Aklanes. Well some
Speaker 1: of them are yeah. Yeah. As you get further away
Speaker 1: from that area, the Golden Eagle swannus Hit area. But
Speaker 1: you and oftentimes you'll stop at one of those farms
Speaker 1: and buy a crate of blueberries. Berry had an order
Speaker 1: from i think from his pick up some pick up
Speaker 1: some blueberry. Yeah, he finished them before he got home.
Speaker 1: Everybody's done it. Nothing finished an entire like ten pounds blocks,
Speaker 1: but everybody's done it. Not everybody where were we anyway? Okay, Canucks, Hey,
Speaker 1: Rick Tackett, listen to this, folks. He's got a new job, well,
Speaker 1: a new old job. Well, it has a little bit
Speaker 1: to do with coaching. I think the fact that he
Speaker 1: just coached the Vancouver Canucks helped him get this job back.
Speaker 1: He's going to be on TNT again, Yeah, and part
Speaker 1: of their NHL playoff coverage Friday and Saturday. He'll be
Speaker 1: in the TNT studios in Atlanta along with Paul Bissonette
Speaker 1: and Ansley Carter and they rotate that fourth position. Liam
Speaker 1: McHugh is there. He's the bust driver of the host
Speaker 1: and it's off the time Rick Bonus or Hendrik Lundquist.
Speaker 1: But on Friday and Saturday, it will be the former
Speaker 1: coach of the Vancouver Canucks, Rick Talckett.
Speaker 3: And just for those people that are saying, Oh my god,
Speaker 3: he's going back to TV. This is not full time.
Speaker 3: The goal is to coach in the NHL. Down this
Speaker 3: is they got such a good relationship Talcket and TNT.
Speaker 3: This is only a weekend maybe another.
Speaker 5: That's what I just said. There's people out there, Oh
Speaker 5: he's going back to TV.
Speaker 1: He's not.
Speaker 3: The TV is not the goal. It's coaching, folks. He
Speaker 3: wants to get back into coaching, but this is but
Speaker 3: it's a safety valve for one off.
Speaker 1: If things don't work out, if he can't out, Oh
Speaker 1: he can't find the perfect job or the job that
Speaker 1: he feels would be near perfect somewhere in the National
Speaker 1: Hockey as a head coach. He's got this to fall
Speaker 1: back on that they pay well from.
Speaker 3: The goal is coaching, not television. But anyway, okay, I
Speaker 3: want to get that out there. You got all these
Speaker 3: cycles on Twitter. Oh he's done. He's not gonna coach.
Speaker 3: He's going back to TV. Just a one off weekend,
Speaker 3: that's all.
Speaker 1: Okay. So also from reliable sources, one in particular, he
Speaker 1: interviewed with the Seattle Kraken. Thought I thought he was
Speaker 1: I thought he was headed back east. That's what the
Speaker 1: Canucks said.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, but Donnie, I can say this. It
Speaker 3: did catch some people off guard when Jim Rutherford said
Speaker 3: Talcket would only coach back east. I am under the
Speaker 3: impression that Talcket would listen to all teams, including Seattle, Anaheim,
Speaker 3: possibly LA if they make a change, not just East
Speaker 3: Coast team. So there is a lot of interest in Talket.
Speaker 3: He is open to all East Coast, West Coast, West Coast, Midwest.
Speaker 3: Just let me say that again. He's open to everything
Speaker 3: East Coast, West Coast, Midwest.
Speaker 1: Everything South America.
Speaker 3: It did catch people off guard that Rutherford said he'd
Speaker 3: only go back. He's he's got family back, He's.
Speaker 1: What about this interview with Seattle.
Speaker 3: I just heard of it this morning. I'm not I
Speaker 3: know Anaheim's poking around. There's a lot of teams poking
Speaker 3: around on Talcket.
Speaker 1: How bad would we talked about this yesterday?
Speaker 3: It would be horrible bad Would it look in your.
Speaker 1: Division if Rick Talckett ended up with a Western team?
Speaker 1: Given that the Canucks Jim Rutherford said that he's he
Speaker 1: wanted to work back east to be closer to family. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I look good.
Speaker 3: It's not good if he ends up in Seattle, my goodness,
Speaker 3: in your own division. That's like trading thatcher demp go
Speaker 3: into your division. You don't do that. You do not
Speaker 3: trade a starting goaltender into your division. You just don't
Speaker 3: do that. Don so anyway, So this isn't a trade guy,
Speaker 3: I know. But you don't let a coach walk from
Speaker 3: your organization into another team or they don't have anything
Speaker 3: in your division, whether you don't let they don't have
Speaker 3: any control anymore. Well, okay, there's no question on you.
Speaker 1: You're right.
Speaker 3: The optics of him ending up in Seattle would be
Speaker 3: atrocious to the Canucks.
Speaker 1: Atrocious. Well, when Lee Len wait to I'm leaving Vancouver
Speaker 1: because I feel it's dysfunctional that that thought out there,
Speaker 1: not me but him, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, there's a lot of reasons why he left.
Speaker 3: I would probably say Quinn Hughes future, you know, or
Speaker 3: lack of knowledge of his future is probably high up
Speaker 3: there for Rick.
Speaker 1: Okay. Also, we keep hearing that Pittsburgh is more and
Speaker 1: more a strong candidate. But then we've also heard that
Speaker 1: the Flyers and everybody is assumed that, Okay, Rick Talckett
Speaker 1: is leaving the Canucks. He wants to work back East.
Speaker 1: We assume in the NHL versus tn T and that
Speaker 1: it'll be the Flyers of a coaching vacancy that he'll
Speaker 1: end up with. But we're hearing the Flyers haven't reached
Speaker 1: out to him yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone's going to reach out to him. I was
Speaker 3: told yesterday a lot of teams that Boston is a
Speaker 3: club that I've been I've been saying about Boston. Keep
Speaker 3: an eye on the Bruins. I will be surprised if
Speaker 3: the Bruins don't contact Talcket.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: He he's a really Boston type guy, cam Neely. Rick
Speaker 3: Tockett played the same the game, the same way power
Speaker 3: forwards did everything.
Speaker 1: Was a Philly type guy.
Speaker 3: Obviously, Philly's gonna contact him.
Speaker 1: A lot of teams have but they say that, but
Speaker 1: we've heard that they haven't, which they would, but they can.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of time they can do it on
Speaker 3: they can do it today at noon dot. But they
Speaker 3: have interviewed some guys, but Boston is another place where
Speaker 3: it's just reeks of Rick tocket and the way they.
Speaker 1: Played for them. Yes, yeah, he's not for a long
Speaker 1: period of time.
Speaker 3: Cam Neely's running the show there. You know that I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, I I would be shocked if Boston isn't
Speaker 3: a team that looks into Rick Talcket.
Speaker 1: Okay, we had time to talk about Adam Foot or
Speaker 1: should we save that for the third segment because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of talk about a lot
Speaker 1: of conversation around Adam Foot and we all know his
Speaker 1: connection to Quinn Hughes. Adam having run the Canucks defensive
Speaker 1: side of things, handled the defenseman under under Rick Talcket,
Speaker 1: that that in order to appease Quinn Hughes, might not
Speaker 1: be a bad idea to have Adam Foot become the
Speaker 1: head coach of the Vancouver Canucks. Absolutely, So we'll get
Speaker 1: into that more in segment three. There's a lot I
Speaker 1: mean those games last night, two more comebacks of the
Speaker 1: National hockel the playoffs have been so good. Yeah, uh
Speaker 1: back and Utah has its name. Okay, we'll get into
Speaker 1: that a little bit later. And uh, much to Ryan's delight,
Speaker 1: Rogers Arena some big, big construction going on right now.
Speaker 1: We'll get into all that later. Here's what else is
Speaker 1: coming up on the show, DTMZ Is it just me?
Speaker 1: In the eleven o'clock hour, John Shannon will join us
Speaker 1: just after eleven o'clock from One Hockey. And of course
Speaker 1: John had the interview with Jim Rutherford on Friday, a
Speaker 1: huge interview and as we know Jim Rutherford only does
Speaker 1: interviews with media based in the East. Did we reach out,
Speaker 1: I mean Big Ride the Twitter guy coming up later
Speaker 1: this hour and up next we're gonna talk about the
Speaker 1: Canadian Football Ague BC Lions training camp. They have the
Speaker 1: mini camp rookies et cetera, starting camp today up in Camloops.
Speaker 1: The main camp begins on the weekend again in Camloops.

Speaker 1: Their twenty twenty five CFL training camp starts today with

Speaker 1: up in kun Loops and joining us right now from
Speaker 1: kownl Loops. I believe first year alliance GM Ryan rig
Speaker 1: Maiden who's been on the show before. Ryan, thanks for
Speaker 1: doing this, sir.
Speaker 7: How are you you betcha doing well?
Speaker 8: How are you guys?
Speaker 1: Good? But did you know that kawnl Loops is more
Speaker 1: beautiful than Spain? Do you have any idea?
Speaker 7: I can't confirm that, but I'll tell you this. I've
Speaker 7: never been to Spain. I've been to Gambloos many times
Speaker 7: and it is absolutely gorgeous up.
Speaker 1: Here, absolutely It's kind of an inside joke and I
Speaker 1: apologize for that. Ryan. Hey, what is a full training
Speaker 1: camp versus last year going to mean for Nathan Rourke? Yeah?
Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be huge. You know, First of all,
Speaker 7: he's got to get acclimated with this offense right that
Speaker 7: the Buck is bringing in. And so they've been working
Speaker 7: hard already in terms of meeting and Nathan's been running
Speaker 7: his own passing camps and all that kind of stuff
Speaker 7: with all the local guys. So he's been doing everything
Speaker 7: he can by himself. But you know, kam Loops is
Speaker 7: where we become a team, and so Nathan, you know,
Speaker 7: getting into this offense and getting real live reps, it
Speaker 7: just makes all the difference in the world. So this
Speaker 7: is where the foundation starts and hopefully ends up in
Speaker 7: a great cup.
Speaker 1: Ryan, you acquire CFL that friend Jeremiah Massoli in the
Speaker 1: off season. Now on social media and by the way,
Speaker 1: your group does a standing job on social media, Jeremiah
Speaker 1: really comes across as a real leader. How much is
Speaker 1: he going to help this team? How much is he
Speaker 1: gonna help Nathan? Yeah?
Speaker 8: Huge.
Speaker 7: You know, when we had reached out to Jeremiah and
Speaker 7: his agent, in the free agent process, you know, we
Speaker 7: wanted somebody with his experience, and frankly, he's got more
Speaker 7: experience than all of our quarterbacks do put together. So
Speaker 7: we wanted another set of eyes for Nathan. We wanted
Speaker 7: a reliable number two or and number three, however that
Speaker 7: shakes out here in camp. His leadership has been absolutely excellent.
Speaker 7: I've only known him on reputation. Every team he's ever
Speaker 7: played for has had just nothing but great things to
Speaker 7: say about him. His teammates the same. So getting him
Speaker 7: in here, giving us another experienced signal caller with his
Speaker 7: history and experience is absolutely huge for not only the team,
Speaker 7: but also for Nathan. You know, they can get back
Speaker 7: after every pass and say, hey, what did you see here?
Speaker 7: You know, what was the corner doing here? Was he
Speaker 7: low or was he high? That kind of feedback is
Speaker 7: absolutely huge for your starting quarterback. So Jeremiah is a
Speaker 7: tremendous player. He's a terrific leader from everything that I've
Speaker 7: encountered in the brief time that we've had him. But
Speaker 7: very lucky to have him.
Speaker 1: Ryan.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter who your quarterback is. If the old
Speaker 3: line doesn't protect him, it's going to be a long
Speaker 3: year for that quarterback. You made adjustments on the old
Speaker 3: line in the off season. How happy are you with
Speaker 3: the old line right now?
Speaker 7: Very happy? So you hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 7: You know, this has been something that frankly has held
Speaker 7: our team back for the last couple of years. And
Speaker 7: we're able to make an aggressive trade with Toronto to
Speaker 7: bring in a right tackle, Dejon Allen. We feel like
Speaker 7: he's going to be a big upgrade for what we have.
Speaker 7: Two years ago, we took George Una with the first
Speaker 7: round in the first round rather to c meet up
Speaker 7: that right guard spot. And this kid is everything we
Speaker 7: hope and so last year he had a tremendous rookie
Speaker 7: mini camp. We weren't able to get him on the field.
Speaker 7: That was something that we probably should have done. And
Speaker 7: those two additions are going to make this offensive line
Speaker 7: significantly better. So I don't care if it's Pee WEE
Speaker 7: or NFL or CFL, it doesn't matter what level of football.
Speaker 7: If you've got a good offensive line, it's very hard
Speaker 7: to be a bad football team. So everything starts up front.
Speaker 7: We want to win that way and that's how we've
Speaker 7: built it.
Speaker 3: Well, Nathan Rourke can't complain about weapons. Okay, he's got
Speaker 3: a good receiving corps led by Justin mckinnis, who led
Speaker 3: the CFL and receiving last year.
Speaker 1: Are you expecting a.
Speaker 3: Lot of yards, a lot of points, a lot of
Speaker 3: offense this year, right, Yeah?
Speaker 7: You know, Bucks offense is based on being physical, running
Speaker 7: the ball and then taking calculated shot plays down the field.
Speaker 7: And so if you've watched Winnipeg's offense in the last
Speaker 7: five year years, I'm sure you have, you've seen what
Speaker 7: kind of offense he has. So mckinnis, you know, coming
Speaker 7: off the season that he did last year, I think
Speaker 7: he set in the bar high. But it's not just him.
Speaker 7: It's Hatcher, it's Barry Hill, it's ever Hard, it's some
Speaker 7: of the rookies that we have. We feel like we've
Speaker 7: got tremendous talent. We feel like we've upgraded the running
Speaker 7: back situation as well, not just with James Butler coming back,
Speaker 7: but the rookies here are going to give everybody a
Speaker 7: run this year, and so we feel like we've added
Speaker 7: some more speed than maybe we've had in the past
Speaker 7: and trying to give coach Coachbuck the best options he
Speaker 7: possibly can to put together a winning offense.
Speaker 1: I love this honesty from one of your players, Ryan
Speaker 1: Christin Covington, What do you expect from him this year?
Speaker 1: He admits that he came up from the NFL and
Speaker 1: he was really surprised by the level of talent in
Speaker 1: the Canadian Football League.
Speaker 7: I think that's the case for most players that have
Speaker 7: played in the NFL in my experience, they come up
Speaker 7: to Canada feeling right or wrong. They feel like it's
Speaker 7: going to be I don't want to say cake walk.
Speaker 7: That's probably the wrong term, but I think they feel
Speaker 7: like it's going to be easier than it is. Then
Speaker 7: they get up here and they see the level of
Speaker 7: talent and there's a period of adjustment. So you know, Christian,
Speaker 7: I just bumped him into him in the hall the
Speaker 7: other day. He's putting on a little bit of weight.
Speaker 7: He said he felt like he thought his body was
Speaker 7: a little bit light last year. That's what last year's
Speaker 7: year of experience has taught him. Hey, he feels like
Speaker 7: he needs to get bigger. He's still got the power
Speaker 7: and the speed. You know, he is taking that next
Speaker 7: step as a leader for us as well. So last year,
Speaker 7: despite the fact that you know, he came in with
Speaker 7: nine years of NFL experience. He was still a CFL rookie,
Speaker 7: and you can't lead as a CFL rookie, or at
Speaker 7: least it's very very rare. And so this year he's
Speaker 7: coming in as a turn He's got a year under
Speaker 7: his belt. He played terrific for us. Sky's the limit
Speaker 7: for him. He's another local guy, So I'm excited for
Speaker 7: him to take that next step, not only as a player,
Speaker 7: but as a leader.
Speaker 1: Okay, the other thing, Ryan, we get all the press
Speaker 1: releases and we hear about the players that you're signing
Speaker 1: in the offseason, Americans, Canadians, a couple of Irish kickers.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, give us a name, Give
Speaker 1: us a name amongst the players you brought in that
Speaker 1: you think is going to turn heads.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the running back situation is going to
Speaker 7: be intriguing just because we've got players that have all
Speaker 7: different types of traits. You've got a Xander Horvath, who
Speaker 7: played a kind of a full back running back hybrid
Speaker 7: position in college, went to the San Diego Chargers as
Speaker 7: a draft pick. He instills that kind of toughness that
Speaker 7: we're looking for at running back. The return game is
Speaker 7: something that we really identified is something that we had
Speaker 7: to improve. Jermaine Jackson from Idaho is going to compete
Speaker 7: right away as a starter for us. He's got that
Speaker 7: juice and that long speed that we've been missing. Jason Huntley,
Speaker 7: the running back spent I think he spent five or
Speaker 7: six years in the NFL. He's also going to compete
Speaker 7: in that role. So you know, the biggest part of
Speaker 7: the offseason for me is identifying your weaknesses and then
Speaker 7: trying to remedy them. And so you know, when you
Speaker 7: look at our offensive line, you make the trade with
Speaker 7: Toronto for Dejon, you try to get Georgejuna in the mix.
Speaker 7: You try to say, hey, we need more speed, Well,
Speaker 7: how are we going to do that? So you meet
Speaker 7: with your staff and you add some some players like this,
Speaker 7: but in a secondarya I think Tyler Coyle is going
Speaker 7: to be excellent. Aj Uzodema. These are two guys that
Speaker 7: we had in for roster expansion. Our linebacker situation with
Speaker 7: Devin Richardson the rookie and also Mike Smith is another
Speaker 7: one to watch. And then maybe somebody with the most
Speaker 7: fanfare is Komoko Terre the defensive end that I think
Speaker 7: went fifty second overall a few years ago to Indianapolis.
Speaker 7: He's a big long pass rusher with burst and bend.
Speaker 7: So be on the lookout for these guys. But in
Speaker 7: every camp you get, you get a player that maybe
Speaker 7: you weren't quite as high, you've got a lower grade
Speaker 7: on and they come in and they suppor so we'll
Speaker 7: see how it goes goes.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know if you're prepared for this question,
Speaker 1: but we have our Delaney's Okay, Tyron Langley an alder
Speaker 1: Grove inbox. No shortage of these submit missions since you
Speaker 1: appeared on our show just moments ago. Please ask Brian
Speaker 1: when we will hear who the opening concert act is
Speaker 1: for the season opener. Hey, Kenny, reveal who that is?
Speaker 1: That's from Eric? Let me go? Can he help us out?
Speaker 1: Cough it up?
Speaker 7: Can you tell Eric? That is way above my pay grade?
Speaker 7: And I found out something interesting. Carolyn Cody, who's one
Speaker 7: of our vice presidents. She does a tremendous job. She
Speaker 7: makes the whole team run. I was talking with her
Speaker 7: at a soccer game recently. I had heard a rumor
Speaker 7: that she had to sign an NDA when she was
Speaker 7: negotiating these things, and she said, yeah, that is one
Speaker 7: hundred percent true. So I promise you even if Carolyn knows,
Speaker 7: she is not telling anybody, which means I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Well, we don't want to get you or Carolyn in
Speaker 1: trouble with omar. Ryan, thanks for this. Best of luck
Speaker 1: up in Kamloops and best of luck this season.
Speaker 7: Thank you guysppreciate it.

Speaker 1: The Dog where you can enjoy twenty caps, twenty screens.
Speaker 1: You're out for the Canucks in UFC. Come sit and
Speaker 1: stay at the Dog today.
Speaker 3: Rick Ryan, get her up the wattling dog pup pole question.
Speaker 3: Why will your reaction be if Adam foots the new
Speaker 3: Canucks head coach thumbs up or thumbs down and leading
Speaker 3: the way thumbs down? Sixty three percent thirty seven percent
Speaker 3: are okay with it? Already a thousand votes. It's hopping,
Speaker 3: it's poppin'. Uh, Donnie, Uh, he's never been a head
Speaker 3: coach before except one year in Kelowna the Western Hockey League,
Speaker 3: many many years ago.
Speaker 1: Nineteen twenty. You can't not nineteen twenty twenty, nineteen twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not many years ago, but listen, Uh, you can't
Speaker 3: do Adam Foot just to please Quinn Hughes. You have
Speaker 3: to hire the best coach for twenty two players, not
Speaker 3: for one player. And if they do this, and if
Speaker 3: this whole coaching search is just and then if Quinny
Speaker 3: say you do, say you hire Adam Foot and Quinn
Speaker 3: Hughes still walks in two years, well how dumb are.
Speaker 1: They going to depends the seasons ago.
Speaker 3: I get that, but I you cannot hire Adam Foot
Speaker 3: just because you're going to please Quinn Hughes. You gotta
Speaker 3: have twenty two guys in mind, not one, you know,
Speaker 3: And I think it's wrong if they just hire the
Speaker 3: next coach to please remember uh remember lawango the captaincy.
Speaker 3: Oh we'll give him the captaincy. And so he dies,
Speaker 3: he signs a long term deal, he doesn't go How
Speaker 3: did that? How did that happen? How did that end up?
Speaker 3: Donney the captaincy?
Speaker 1: Not good? You can't do stuff to please one guy.
Speaker 1: That comparison really fits here, but ith it does? I
Speaker 1: agree with Rick? Yeah, look at it.
Speaker 5: They throwed Remember he did the draft and he announced
Speaker 5: the pick. Remember that was around the same time, and
Speaker 5: they made him in in that flopped, Like I I understand,
Speaker 5: trying to appear.
Speaker 1: Remember you didn't have a contract it you.
Speaker 3: I think there's a there's a line.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to keep him in mind obviously, but
Speaker 5: I would you should do that because he's the captain anyway,
Speaker 5: I just worry that, yeah, you're gonna do that.
Speaker 1: Well, what are you talking about? He signed a contract
Speaker 1: that sucked. Well, I here, here's where I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: a little bit uh to the east here and that's
Speaker 1: Manny Malhultra, right you with me? Ryan, And I wonder
Speaker 1: if the part of what they're thinking is do we
Speaker 1: jump quickly on many Mahultra after one year in Abosford,
Speaker 1: Because I just have a feeling that this guy's going
Speaker 1: to be a hot commodity in a few years, and
Speaker 1: if you don't pick him as your next head coach
Speaker 1: in two, three, four years down the road, he might
Speaker 1: be one of the extremely I just have a feeling
Speaker 1: about him and everything we hear about the way things
Speaker 1: are running atmosphere, look at look at the job that
Speaker 1: that that they didn't ama for this year, and and
Speaker 1: incredibly how yeah, for the first time, maybe ever, you
Speaker 1: saw multiple players, multiple prospects up from Abbotsford playing very
Speaker 1: well at the NHL level. Well at the same time,
Speaker 1: the Abbotsford Canucks kept pace in the American hockey That
Speaker 1: just that's not supposed to happen, so he would. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he would have to take a lot of the credit
Speaker 1: for it. I I if you're a Knuck fan, you
Speaker 1: have to be a little concerned about Mahultra. You don't
Speaker 1: jump on him, you don't give him that job. Is
Speaker 1: he going to be a hot commodity in three years?
Speaker 1: I wonder about maybe you could say the same thing
Speaker 1: about Adam Foote. I'm not sure, but that was very impressive.
Speaker 1: That that's that has to be I've said it before,
Speaker 1: I said it yesterday, that that may be the best
Speaker 1: story for there are many of them, the best story
Speaker 1: for the Canucks this past season.
Speaker 3: And I keep being told, they keep being told Maultra,
Speaker 3: you know, possibly the front runner in Vancouver.
Speaker 1: But they can't. They can't interview right now, don because
Speaker 1: the team. He's busy.
Speaker 3: He's busy. He's busy, which is smart. Let him concentrate
Speaker 3: on the team.
Speaker 1: And again and abbots for tonight Game three against Coachella
Speaker 1: Valley at the sponsorless Abbotsford Center, best of five, again
Speaker 1: a tide at at one. All right, all right? By
Speaker 1: the way, uh Lyon's first preseason game is is Langford
Speaker 1: versus Calgary on Vancouver Island, Monday, May nineteenth.
Speaker 3: Right around the corner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, looking at that, it's me, isn't it. Yeah, Man,
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta keep track of things better. Okay,
Speaker 1: where do you want to go here? Let's talk about
Speaker 1: Rogers Arena. What's happening there? All right? New black seat, Ryan,
Speaker 1: this is the greatest. This is Christmas for you Christmas
Speaker 1: and we there were there's there has been a smattering
Speaker 1: of the new black seats at Rogers Arena this past season. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, but new black and rich folk. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: you go. New black seats are being installed everywhere in
Speaker 1: Rodgers Arena. That so that's our understanding. The old maroon
Speaker 1: seats that have been around since nineteen ninety five, since
Speaker 1: what was then gmplas opened out the door. New beautiful,
Speaker 1: cushy black seats, cup holders, cannuct logo on the side
Speaker 1: of the aisle seats, which I think is a mistake,
Speaker 1: but they look pretty sharp right now, because what if
Speaker 1: they change the logo? Just thinking ahead here.
Speaker 5: But I think that tells you where they're at with
Speaker 5: changing the logo.
Speaker 1: I think what I'm telling you is that i'd like
Speaker 1: to see the logo changed.
Speaker 5: You know, what would be a cool touch is if.
Speaker 1: You had lazy boys all the way around.
Speaker 5: You put all the logos an alternate them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what if they come up with another, with
Speaker 1: a new one somewhere down their own?
Speaker 3: So are you happy now? Are you gonna stop crying?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna?
Speaker 5: We should? We should say, by the way, hat tipped
Speaker 5: to Adam cuism Blad of the Hockey Army Cosma Kissing Blad.
Speaker 1: I've going with Ryan.
Speaker 5: He tweeted yesterday that he got this photo sent to
Speaker 5: him by a friend that you can tell one of
Speaker 5: the sections in the lower bowl is all ripped up
Speaker 5: and they're installing the new black seats slowly in there.
Speaker 5: And it's interesting because he brings it up. They have
Speaker 5: They do have an event coming in there on May thirteenth,
Speaker 5: but there's a pretty lightly and so is June, and
Speaker 5: so is June before it kind of ramps up in
Speaker 5: July and August.
Speaker 3: So it's about time and.
Speaker 5: Look at I was skeptical, even though they were telling
Speaker 5: season ticket holders it was happening, until I started to
Speaker 5: see seats going into this venue. I was skeptical because
Speaker 5: of all the hiccups that had happened.
Speaker 1: To the like honest to God again with different I
Speaker 1: I I.
Speaker 5: Half an hour ago I bought concert tickets for CalCon I.
Speaker 5: The cheapest ticket I could find for concert tickets in
Speaker 5: that building in October is one hundred and thirty dollars each.
Speaker 5: So you guys telling me about Empire the winning benches,
Speaker 5: Your ticket was three benches, Yeah it was.
Speaker 3: It was three dollars and seventy five cents. We never
Speaker 3: can play. And by the way, this is.
Speaker 5: One of the most heavily used buildings. You guys don't
Speaker 5: know because you are you don't go to games. Tell
Speaker 5: us you don't go to the games you sit in
Speaker 5: the Champions Club. I was sitting in the upper bowl
Speaker 5: for one of those late season games against anah my seat.
Speaker 3: I was at that game and I was sitting in
Speaker 3: a restaurant. Yeah, in the cushy bar, beautiful seat. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I was in the upper bowl.
Speaker 1: There's nothing I never ever gone to a sporting it
Speaker 1: ever And to myself, this seat is offful.
Speaker 5: How many photos did we get of people's seats literally
Speaker 5: falling apart.
Speaker 3: On them like adress falling off?
Speaker 5: Part of the charm, but part of the charm. It's
Speaker 5: gross thirty years, one of the most heavily used buildings,
Speaker 5: and it's taking them this long to finally pull those
Speaker 5: maroon things out of there.
Speaker 1: Would you rather have new seats or winning hockey? Twinning hockey?
Speaker 5: You would have seats at this point you should demand
Speaker 5: both plus a season ticket oder forking over thousands of
Speaker 5: dollars and you have a seat that has cardboard and
Speaker 5: things falling off.
Speaker 1: Of what are we doing? As you know, I have
Speaker 1: been informed by some people, certain people unnamed, that there
Speaker 1: were issues with the health, issues with healthy with seats
Speaker 1: the interior of the Yes, would you want to buy
Speaker 1: you know, people like seats from the Montreal Form by
Speaker 1: a couple of old No, the.
Speaker 3: BC place seats are not great. When we go to
Speaker 3: lines they're going on they're super duper and they are.
Speaker 5: They are, They're not Why wouldn't you want it?
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be cool? Having your man killed? A couple again,
Speaker 1: thirty years of what you were really against?
Speaker 3: The gross they're gross at this point with.
Speaker 1: You because a lot of second people bought seats from
Speaker 1: the Montreal Forum, which was around since the beginning of time,
Speaker 1: and what were they The seat was actually wood bingo.
Speaker 1: You just want every seat cleaner, c and did cleaner
Speaker 1: like it's so you're okay with why did they put
Speaker 1: wood seats? Arena sure decreased the tickets.
Speaker 3: Want every seat to be like a dentist chair.
Speaker 1: Know it's not going to be like that.
Speaker 5: Honestly, I give them credit for the fact that it
Speaker 5: appears as though there's going to be cup holders and
Speaker 5: all of them, and the christening and all that. I
Speaker 5: give them credit on that because I thought it was
Speaker 5: just going to be for the club section and for
Speaker 5: that rich exclusive section behind the bench and all the.
Speaker 1: Holders a gang commons place now, but with you, it adds.
Speaker 1: I will expend solely because you don't want to be
Speaker 1: kicking over yours. No, it's the worst.
Speaker 5: It's the worst that you've paid fifteen ninety five for,
Speaker 5: you know, and it's sitting under your seat, just dangling there.
Speaker 3: Perfect, Okay, they get this done. I don't want to
Speaker 3: hear seats from you ever. Again, I'm not going to
Speaker 3: complain obviously because they'll be brown.
Speaker 5: I do want to hear it because I want to
Speaker 5: just full how spoiled you are. I've got Brian Adams tickets.
Speaker 5: That's not the content about today. I got Brians. That'll
Speaker 5: be the first show I have unless something comes up
Speaker 5: over the summer, so that'll be my first chance to
Speaker 5: give them a test run.
Speaker 1: And I won't wait. And have we heard anything about
Speaker 1: the seats, you know, seriousness about the old seats being available?
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do with them now? I don't know,
Speaker 1: just throw them outside? Yeah.
Speaker 5: But here's the thing though, that you bring up the
Speaker 5: form and you like seriously speaking, I know they had
Speaker 5: a Cup final in their appearance Olympics, Like what's.
Speaker 1: Is there really all that invents on the price, Like what.
Speaker 5: Would be the historical relevance of a seat and a
Speaker 5: maroon's seat from that building?
Speaker 3: Some people like you said the Montreal form Again, that's
Speaker 3: the form the eye of the beholder. And maybe leave
Speaker 3: Gardens when Mayble Gardens went down, the same.
Speaker 5: Thing again, that's a historic significant building, Roger's Arena, GM Place.
Speaker 1: M Paul McCartney there, so did I three times, Shelton John.

Speaker 5: Rick has no idea, of course.
Speaker 3: But for first of all, you guys in the Seinfeld
Speaker 3: I brought up I Love Lucy yesterday. You guys ripped

Speaker 3: base in the lower levels there.
Speaker 5: I bring up the connection to the seat said Rogers,
Speaker 5: you guys Seinfeld every day I asked for I Love Lucy.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you right now. I as
Speaker 1: a kid, I remember watching I Love Lucy. I hated it. Oh,
Speaker 1: it was just a bunch of screaming. It's kind of
Speaker 1: like this show, our show.
Speaker 3: Lucille Ball the best female comedian of all time.
Speaker 1: There's a good there's a good show out recently called

Speaker 1: It paid a pretty picture. Nicole Kevin is it? Oh yah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. Have you seen it? It's on the list.

Speaker 5: at Rogers Arena will show up at able auctions one day.
Speaker 1: And I don't know.
Speaker 5: I should talk. I should talk to Jeremy on the phone.

Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: Interesting. Note very quickly about ratings in the United States
Speaker 5: for the first round of the NHL play A lot
Speaker 5: of people talking about how they're down, and they are down,
Speaker 5: they were down year over year.
Speaker 1: No, no, but how about this? This is positive? This
Speaker 1: is positive? Okay.
Speaker 5: This is from Austin carp Two point four million viewers
Speaker 5: for Stars Abs Game seven on ABC on Saturday night.
Speaker 5: It's the third best NHL first round game since the
Speaker 5: start of the current rights deal, better audience than all
Speaker 5: but three games from the first three rounds of last
Speaker 5: season's playoffs, and it also edged out the Miami Grand Prix, which,
Speaker 5: by the way, it struggled big time ratings wise. But
Speaker 5: that's besides the point. So two point four million. I
Speaker 5: haven't seen numbers yet in the US. I'd be interested
Speaker 5: to know for the Jets Blues game on Sunday night,
Speaker 5: that would be interesting.
Speaker 3: But two point four million is decent, and.
Speaker 5: I look at there's a lot of people that keep
Speaker 5: dumping on the NHL and the ratings for the first round.
Speaker 5: And when you don't have.
Speaker 1: You don't have a representative in LA.
Speaker 5: But you don't have a representative from New York outside
Speaker 5: of the Devils. No Islanders, no Boston, no Boston, no Chicago, right,
Speaker 5: I mean that's a lot. There's a big say no Detroit.
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people forget about Detroit, right
Speaker 5: because they haven't been in there, so wrong. But not
Speaker 5: having there and they're is huge. The other one that
Speaker 5: I think hurts the NHL a lot. You know, everyone
Speaker 5: laughs a lot at the Buffalo Sabers. Buffalo is a
Speaker 5: really strong TV market and they of course it is,
Speaker 5: but they haven't been in the playoff. But I'm just saying,
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people because they're such a
Speaker 5: forgotten franchise, I think it hurts.
Speaker 1: But no Pritsburgh, by the way as well. Shicksburg's another one.
Speaker 1: So many people through the years, and I got friends
Speaker 1: of mine who don't like hockey, believe it or not,
Speaker 1: and they use that as a measurement of how bad
Speaker 1: the sport is. Tions My take on the American TV
Speaker 1: ratings is that hockey is by and large, there are exceptions,
Speaker 1: I know, not part of the American culture Baseball, like football.
Speaker 1: It's amazing that hockey is as popular as it is.
Speaker 1: That's this is my take. As popular as it is
Speaker 1: in the States, given the fact that it isn't part
Speaker 1: of their culture, but by and large right like it
Speaker 1: like it is in Canada. Absolutely, And just look at
Speaker 1: the players, like watching Matthew and Ives the other day.
Speaker 1: He's born in Phoenix. Yeah, what's growing like like Matthews.
Speaker 5: Well and and and the big thing the contrast to
Speaker 5: the NBA posted its best opening weekend playoff ratings in
Speaker 5: twenty five years. The first round of the NBA playoffs
Speaker 5: were really strong ratings wise. Now we will see how
Speaker 5: that goes. Because on the East side in the NBA,
Speaker 5: Indiana Cleveland. You have a New York and Yoga Boston
Speaker 5: for sure, but Indiana Cleveland, I mean that's not And
Speaker 5: don't get me wrong, I mean the Pacers are up
Speaker 5: to Oh the games have been interesting, but that's not
Speaker 5: huge markets. We'll see how the ratings progress. Meanwhile, I
Speaker 5: think the NHL second round, of my opinion, is stronger
Speaker 5: in terms of the opponent's playing than the NBA. So
Speaker 5: we'll see how it progresses.
Speaker 1: That New York Boston series is gonna be. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be the way it started, overcoming a twenty point deficit, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, I know you're Philadelphia's out to the Flyers.
Speaker 3: That hurts Penguins hurt. They got markets in the US out,
Speaker 3: that's really hurting the TV ratings.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I know people aren't gonna want to hear this,
Speaker 5: but the amount of Canadian teams being in doesn't do
Speaker 5: a ton for the the US ratings.
Speaker 1: I gotta say, like Edmonton is so impressive right now.
Speaker 1: They've won five straight games. They're getting, you know, so
Speaker 1: much contribution from players other than Connor Brown is what
Speaker 1: a goal last night? Other than McDavid and dry Sidle.
Speaker 1: They look like Toronto looks good too. Well.
Speaker 5: Charles Barkley, he predicted Edmonton Toronto Cup final.
Speaker 1: I might not watch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be something.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm with you and that you said that
Speaker 1: if if Ebonton goes far or Everington wins this Towny Cup,
Speaker 1: I you know, I really don't want to see Edmonton win.
Speaker 1: I've seen them win five in my lifetime. But I
Speaker 1: would like to see Connor mcgavid win a cup.
Speaker 5: I want to see McDavid win win. I don't care
Speaker 5: if Matthews does. I'm good not seeing Austin Matthews.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because when winever the Leafs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and also American.
Speaker 3: So I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm good. I don't really you know, it's you don't
Speaker 1: want to see Quinn Hees win a cup in Vancouver.
Speaker 1: Well that's different.
Speaker 5: It's different because he's got the Vancouver well for how
Speaker 5: long we don't know, but yeah, anyway, he.
Speaker 1: Was he was winsday a cup with Toronto. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that'd be something.
Speaker 3: Okay, uh do you see?
Speaker 5: The only thing is I'm a torn because if it
Speaker 5: was an Edmont to Toronto final, I'd really like to
Speaker 5: see Christanna win a cup, right Morgan Riley? Right, yeah,
Speaker 5: Morgan for sure? So oh weel winning.
Speaker 3: Back to back?
Speaker 1: That would be amazing. And I wonder how and I
Speaker 1: know there, you know, the Dallas Stars getting you know,
Speaker 1: two of their best players back. That's what that's a wagon.
Speaker 1: I get all that, but I wonder what getting past
Speaker 1: that first round is going to do for Connor Hallibuck.
Speaker 5: The Jets as a whole.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but especially him getting back to being Connor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean even Game seven. Well they won't if he's
Speaker 1: not good.
Speaker 5: Like I say, man, the the twenty eleven vibes with
Speaker 5: the Jets. They're strong in my opinion. Okay, one other thing,
Speaker 5: very quickly. This is from last night in New York
Speaker 5: Yankees Padres. Yankees win twelve three over the Padres. Home run,
Speaker 5: Aaron Judge home run. You can roll this there. Aaron
Speaker 5: Judge home run. Okay, that's a routine thing. Watch what
Speaker 5: happens here with the fan in green catches the ball, cheering, excited.
Speaker 5: There goes the baseball.
Speaker 1: He lost it.
Speaker 3: The guy yeah, pockets it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: Later on the Yes broadcast caught his buddy returning the
Speaker 5: baseball to him as a good Now, he isn't the
Speaker 5: one that swiped it. The guy in the Yankees hat.
Speaker 5: See there, he's behind him in the jersey. He's the
Speaker 5: guy that took it. He's the guy that took it.
Speaker 5: But the fact that you would even consider pocketing that ball,
Speaker 5: I mean, Ryan, thirty years ago, he would have got
Speaker 5: away with that. Now that I know there's forty camera.
Speaker 3: But hold on to it, man, like.
Speaker 5: I know, you're excited and cheering.
Speaker 4: But like.
Speaker 5: The fact, you could have gone over the wall, you
Speaker 5: could have lost it all together. But he did return
Speaker 5: it to him, so all was made right.
Speaker 1: But I don't think it was It was the guy
Speaker 1: the jacket on it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the guy, no, he had the jersey on. What
Speaker 5: you're gonna see him here?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: The guy next to the guy in green, he's got
Speaker 3: a Yankee hat on.
Speaker 5: In a jersey on. See this, he's the one that
Speaker 5: scoops it up right here ready. But the guy in
Speaker 5: the blue hoodie you see jumping ended.
Speaker 1: Up with it.
Speaker 5: He ended up with it and returned it.
Speaker 1: Looks like a different guy, and they got the Yankees
Speaker 1: jersey doesn't look.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, you're seeing it right seeing behind he
Speaker 3: standing up.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, they should have got out of there.
Speaker 3: Okay, they should have got out of there and went
Speaker 3: to the upper alestrator.
Speaker 5: I should get a telestrator on the show.
Speaker 1: That'd be good. That'd be fun. Yeah, we know the
Speaker 1: budget for anything else, but let's get Ryan.
Speaker 5: That would be fun. But anyway, this was when this
Speaker 5: made a lot of the rounds on that in social
Speaker 5: media because so.
Speaker 3: Many cameras just scooped it up so long, down on
Speaker 3: the guy.
Speaker 1: A lot of people would do that.
Speaker 3: I don't think I would. They should have got Let
Speaker 3: me say this, Let me say.
Speaker 1: The seeds at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 5: I've never been to Yankee. Let me say this though.
Speaker 5: The amount of angst and fighting that goes over baseballs
Speaker 5: is wild to me.
Speaker 1: Like a foul ball. They have guys that get jumpy,
Speaker 1: elbows thrown.
Speaker 5: If it's significantani's baseball with a ton of values.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's wild. I don't think it's it's human nature.
Speaker 1: It's prival. I get it. But it's like, guys, you haven't.
Speaker 5: Seen that it's a two dollars baseball and then like
Speaker 5: ripping it away from some kid or something that.
Speaker 1: You know what you know what's tough is that I
Speaker 1: grew up going to a lot of lacrosse games, and
Speaker 1: lacrosse balls they bounce. Boy, yeah, I remember getting it
Speaker 1: going as a kid, getting reallyant Burnaby Lake Arena, big
Speaker 1: dog pile ball, bouncing all over the place, bodies flying
Speaker 1: was crazy.
Speaker 5: That would be tough. I got injured that that was
Speaker 5: the only one that would be a tough one to secure,
Speaker 5: you know, because of the bounce. Factor. Yeah, that would
Speaker 5: be tough anyway. Thankfully that guy got his base back up. Next,

Speaker 3: Hey, get ready this summer. Be ready, be ready, be ready.
Speaker 10: I'll be ready one of them. I'll see your then
Speaker 10: I'll see your tweets, and then.
Speaker 1: And then we'll to the end of John Shannon and
Speaker 1: Donnie and Delly. One of the nicest people I've ever
Speaker 1: worked with, John Shannon. But also Hazel May.
Speaker 8: Oh, Hazel May. She's a star.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 8: And by the way, her husband is a really good
Speaker 8: broadcaster too.
Speaker 10: She's married to Kevin Barker, who is uh does a
Speaker 10: lot of stuff on on sports Net on the Radio's fantastic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I absolutely agree. Hey, John, I don't know
Speaker 1: how you do it, if you pay him or what
Speaker 1: the deal. We can't get him on the show. But
Speaker 1: you had Jim Rutherford on your one hundred percent Hockey
Speaker 1: podcast on Friday. What do you believe he's looking for
Speaker 1: in a replacement for Rick Tockett after that conversation, Well.
Speaker 8: I think he's looking for Rick Tockett. Well, but you're
Speaker 8: not going to get Rick Talckett, So I.
Speaker 10: Think he's looking for someone that does have experience but
Speaker 10: also has a direct approach with players. So it's it's
Speaker 10: you know, there is a line of guys that want
Speaker 10: this job, but I think it's just a little tour
Speaker 10: to figure out how experienced this next coach of the
Speaker 10: Canucks is going to be.
Speaker 8: But it's I think you have to be honest, Donnie.
Speaker 10: Big shoes to fill because Rick Talckett, through some tough times,
Speaker 10: did a pretty darn good job.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jim Rutford seventy six. Now, John again, you had
Speaker 1: that conversation with them on Friday. All three of us
Speaker 1: listen to it. Do you get the sense he's going
Speaker 1: to be on the job? Buch longer? Is he enjoying himself?
Speaker 10: You know, these guys that are former players, they thrive
Speaker 10: on this. They have that competitive edge that the three
Speaker 10: of us don't have. That they always want to be
Speaker 10: in the fight. I think as long as Jim's health
Speaker 10: is there, I can't see him walking away. I also
Speaker 10: can't see him walking away with the franchise in the
Speaker 10: condition that it's in, and I think it's even more
Speaker 10: frustrating for him right now because I think they thought
Speaker 10: they were close last year. Yes, you know, let's remember
Speaker 10: at this point last year we were just starting the
Speaker 10: second round of the playoffs connect Soiler and the Canucks
Speaker 10: could have won that series, and so that would have
Speaker 10: changed a ton of dynamic. So to be that close
Speaker 10: to a conference final and then take the step back,
Speaker 10: I think there's something in Jim's DNA that says, I
Speaker 10: can't leave until we've righted the ship.
Speaker 3: Did you get any sense about Manny Mahultra, Like, you know,
Speaker 3: Adam Foot would be in the same boat as Manny Maultra.
Speaker 3: There would be both rookie coaches as head coaches in
Speaker 3: the National Hockey League. Did you You mentioned experience, but
Speaker 3: these guys have never been head coaches. What's your feeling
Speaker 3: on Mahultra on Foot?
Speaker 10: Well, I think I like Manny a lot, but he
Speaker 10: just needs more time behind the bench as a head coach.
Speaker 10: And let's face it, that's one of the great developmental
Speaker 10: sides of having Abbotsford so close is being able to
Speaker 10: keep an eye on him. And Jim talked about Daniel
Speaker 10: and Henrick being in abbots Ford so much, and I
Speaker 10: do think Manny Malokra has a tremendous future in the organization.
Speaker 10: I just the way Jim talked about it on Friday
Speaker 10: was that it wasn't going to be as the head
Speaker 10: coach this time. It's somebody that's going to help this
Speaker 10: organization for years and years to come. As far as
Speaker 10: Adam Foot, we to be honest, we didn't bring Adam's
Speaker 10: name up in the conversation because I don't think it
Speaker 10: was fair to anybody to start singling out people that
Speaker 10: aren't in the organization right now. But I'll tell you what.
Speaker 10: We all know what the job that Adam Foot did.
Speaker 10: We all know that the defenseman loved playing for Adam Foot,
Speaker 10: and I would think and hope that if he's not
Speaker 10: the head coach, they would find a way to convince
Speaker 10: Adam to stay on the staff.
Speaker 3: Three Canadian teams left in round two. Hey, the TV
Speaker 3: guys got to be loving it over at Sportsnet.
Speaker 1: John.
Speaker 3: You know that Winnipeg, Edmonton, Toronto. What's your guts say
Speaker 3: about all three of these in round two?
Speaker 1: These teams?
Speaker 10: Could you imagine if all three got through?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 10: Ceriously, could you imagine if all three teams got through
Speaker 10: and I led up with that Winnipeg Edmonton Western Conference
Speaker 10: Final and guaranteeing a Canadian team in the Stanley Cup
Speaker 10: Final and the Maple Leafs. You know, I said about
Speaker 10: ten days ago after Game four of the Ottawa series,
Speaker 10: I truly believe that the Maple Leafs might have been
Speaker 10: the best team in the Eastern Conference at that point.
Speaker 10: I haven't seen anything other than potentially what's wrong with
Speaker 10: Anthony Stolars to deter me of that. But Joseph Wall
Speaker 10: has played some good goal for the Maple Leafs. He's
Speaker 10: not Stolars. So you have to wonder if we see Toronto, Washington,
Speaker 10: or Toronto, Carolina and then Winnipeg Edmonton in the West,
Speaker 10: it would be wild.
Speaker 8: It would be great for us.
Speaker 10: I'm not sure that people in Little Rock, Arkansas would
Speaker 10: have very much interest in it, though, John, why is.
Speaker 1: Sam Bennett still in the National Hockey League? I don't understand.
Speaker 8: Sam Bennett.
Speaker 1: Yeah, shouldn't he be suspended for the rest of his career?
Speaker 10: No, come on, John, Johnny for a nation's base off.
Speaker 10: We loved him, of course, we thought he was great.
Speaker 8: Yeah, when he was on our side, keep him going.
Speaker 1: But I'm just talking about the overreaction in in Toronto,
Speaker 1: because nobody nobody brings up the Reinhardt shot earlier in
Speaker 1: the in the game, he knocked his mask off. He
Speaker 1: was shaking his head after that. But I know it's
Speaker 1: it's kind of fun to watch.
Speaker 10: It's simplist, don you know this. It's it's not the
Speaker 10: stories that make people interested, it's the headlines. And so
Speaker 10: the headline is Sam Bennett's agon. The story isn't that
Speaker 10: Sam Bennett is one of the most complete players in
Speaker 10: the game. He's the leading forward scoring for the for
Speaker 10: the Panthers. Paul Maurice loves him. And if Sam Bennett
Speaker 10: was a free agent, one of the top teams to
Speaker 10: take a bid for him would be the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Speaker 10: So there's there's a it's the classic case. And we've
Speaker 10: seen this through all of our eyes. The player you
Speaker 10: hate only because he's playing for the other team, but
Speaker 10: you'd sure like him on yours, wouldn't you.
Speaker 1: Ever when he couldn't do a pull up at the draft.
Speaker 10: He didn't want Yeah, okay, And by the way I
Speaker 10: mean here, this is a classic case. Sam Bennett as
Speaker 10: a junior was a playmaking center for the Kingston front
Speaker 10: Nact and it was a tremendous offensive player, and everybody
Speaker 10: thought that he.
Speaker 8: Was going to be a great scoring player.
Speaker 10: He has morphed into this, you know, and people are
Speaker 10: going to laugh, but he's morphed into this complete player
Speaker 10: as an NHLer and becomes so invaluable and and it's
Speaker 10: it's funny. He's now coming back to haunt Brad to
Speaker 10: Living who traded him because he felt he wasn't getting
Speaker 10: enough offensive out of him, and he's gone to Florida
Speaker 10: and become a difference maker. And truly, Sam Bennett is
Speaker 10: a difference maker.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have nothing but respect for players like that
Speaker 1: who change their game as their career goes on and
Speaker 1: look and win a Stanley Cup and last a long time.
Speaker 1: Thanks for this, John, have a great day.
Speaker 3: Boys.
Speaker 1: You met John Shaddon one Percent Hockey that podcast. You
Speaker 1: can check out his interview with the Jim Mutherford there.
Speaker 3: Interesting. John didn't think the many is going to be
Speaker 3: the guy after talking to Jim. Very interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, I think and understanding that he doesn't have
Speaker 1: any NHL head coach this year. He's been an assistant
Speaker 1: coach for a significant amount of time and he's got
Speaker 1: the one year in habits. But I'll say what I
Speaker 1: said in the first hour. I just wonder if you
Speaker 1: let that guy guy go just you know, you've talked
Speaker 1: to him, and he's just so intelligent, he's so smart,
Speaker 1: know so much about hockey, so much respect out there.
Speaker 1: Look at the job that is being done this year
Speaker 1: in habits Firs. It's the best connect story this year.
Speaker 1: We put it right up at the top. And I
Speaker 1: just wonder if if three years down the road, he's
Speaker 1: going to be an extremely hot commodity. All right, a break,
Speaker 1: and then we'll deal with the pull question and talk
Speaker 1: about the Utah Hockey Club. Who are the Utah Hockey Club?
Speaker 1: No more? That's next. Donnie Dolly the team I check.

Speaker 1: A Troy's favorite pubs where you can enjoy twenty taps,
Speaker 1: twenty screens. You're home for the Canucks in the UFC.
Speaker 1: Come sit and stay at the Dog today, Roy, get her.
Speaker 3: Up the wattling Dog pop pole question. Now, what will
Speaker 3: your reaction be if Adam Foot is named the Canucks
Speaker 3: new head coach? Well thumbs up or thumbs down? Sixty
Speaker 3: two percent thumbs down, thirty eight percent say thumbs up.
Speaker 3: Fourteen hundred votes. Already, it's hoping, it's poppinged and not
Speaker 3: too many people want to see Adam Foot the new
Speaker 3: coach of the Canucks.
Speaker 1: Donny, Yeah, I would have thought it might go the
Speaker 1: other way, just because of the connection to Quinn Hughes Well,
Speaker 1: connection to all the Knuck players. But Adam Foot handling
Speaker 1: the Kannucks defenseman in the last few years, last two
Speaker 1: and a half seasons on Erricktocket, so I thought maybe
Speaker 1: that would be a well deciding factor. We've had a
Speaker 1: lot of submissions regarding the Canucks coaching staff. In Art
Speaker 1: Delaney's Okay Tying Langley and all the growth in box
Speaker 1: as you'd expect Sheldon from Surrey, this isn't early, is
Speaker 1: it just me? But with adding Kevin Bixit to the
Speaker 1: next coaching staff be a smart move to help rebuild
Speaker 1: the culture. Plus remember this, Rick, we know this. His
Speaker 1: son is playing for the Coquitlam Express next season.
Speaker 3: And Kevin bix has been running an academy in Anaheim
Speaker 3: last few years and so he's got that coaching with
Speaker 3: the academy. But I was told that right now Kevin
Speaker 3: bi X is not was it chomping? Is chomping either way?
Speaker 3: Champing or say it chomping at the bit to get
Speaker 3: at it. But I do think that in the not
Speaker 3: too distant future you might see mister b X in
Speaker 3: the coaching ring.
Speaker 1: Although you get the sense and he's very good at it.
Speaker 1: He's enjoying what he's doing. Can again good he's good
Speaker 1: at what he does. At Adam foot Rick four to
Speaker 1: five NHL job opportunities, they're a.
Speaker 3: Good interest, good interest in Adam Foote. I just hope
Speaker 3: the Canucks, don't, you know, give him the job just
Speaker 3: to appease Rick, Quinn Hughes and Quinn Hughes Walks in
Speaker 3: two years.
Speaker 1: That would be a horrible situation. Rick Tockett. I mean,
Speaker 1: while just recapping what we talked about in the first segment,
Speaker 1: Rick Tockett, He's going to be on t n T
Speaker 1: tn T part of their NHL playoff coverage in the
Speaker 1: Atlanta studios. That's this Friday and Saturday, joining Paul Bissonett
Speaker 1: and Nasen Carter and Liam McHugh. Oftentimes you'll see Henrik Lundquist.
Speaker 1: They do a good job. Henrick Lunkquist there and Rick Bonus,
Speaker 1: who I believe is going to be on the show
Speaker 1: this week, our show, if I'm not mistaken, But Rick
Speaker 1: Cockett on tn T, and you wonder if that relationship
Speaker 1: will continue and maybe he's not a head coach next year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do want to say that his goal, number
Speaker 3: one goal is still to be a head coach next
Speaker 3: year in the NHL television. Great relationship with tn T.
Speaker 3: This is just I believe in my heart one off
Speaker 3: and he might do it in round two to two.
Speaker 1: Yeah uh. And you know, speaking of television and the media,
Speaker 1: I will miss listening to Rick talk at Talk Hockey
Speaker 1: I postgame pregame. He had had time for the media
Speaker 1: and I know that's not the be all and and all.
Speaker 1: I get all that, but I felt like I learned
Speaker 1: stuff off Rickock, and I've got a lot to learn
Speaker 1: when it comes to a lot of things, especially hockey Utah.
Speaker 1: The name's official. We got the video here, Derek Ryan,
Speaker 1: There you go. As expected, it's the Utah Mammoth and
Speaker 1: the same colors as in their inaugural season. Those colors
Speaker 1: are salt white, mountain blue, and rock black. I gotta say,
Speaker 1: I thought the logos this logo was leaked a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and I thought it looked a little too
Speaker 1: ai ish. I gotta say it's growing on me. I
Speaker 1: love it. I love it.
Speaker 3: It's just a beautiful logo. It hits you and you
Speaker 3: look at it and you go, hey, that's nice color scheme.
Speaker 3: You got the mountains, you got the horn. Everything it's good.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if you can take a look
Speaker 1: at the still photo of the there you go, there's
Speaker 1: the jerseys still photo of the logo, but you get
Speaker 1: the idea here looking at the jerseys again, not much
Speaker 1: change from what we saw in year one when they
Speaker 1: were the generic Utah Hockey Club. But you nailed it
Speaker 1: with the Mountains as part of the Mammoth scalp. It
Speaker 1: really works.
Speaker 3: It works, it works. But why are they doing home
Speaker 3: and away?
Speaker 1: Most teams have home and away uniforms.
Speaker 3: No, but why isn't the logo on both? Is what
Speaker 3: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't be the only team to do that. Carolina
Speaker 1: does something similar, and they had Utah that diagonical spelling
Speaker 1: or that diagonal approach on their uniforms. Initially, I like it.
Speaker 1: It's just something different. You've and you've got the mammoth
Speaker 1: on the shoulders on the road, the white uniforms on
Speaker 1: the road uniforms, and another secondary logo on the shoulder
Speaker 1: of the black home jerseys. I don't know. I like that.
Speaker 1: It's baseball ish, you know baseball you'll often see uh,
Speaker 1: not as much as you did in the past, but
Speaker 1: you'll often see the name of the road city on
Speaker 1: the jersey of the road team. I like it. It's
Speaker 1: just it's something different. And I know that Ryan Smith,
Speaker 1: owner of the Utah Mammoth, very big on that sky blue.
Speaker 1: He loves that color.
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful and and Donnie, don't forget two jerseys
Speaker 3: sell more and the owner makes more money.
Speaker 1: That's smart. You seem surprised that there's two jerseys.
Speaker 3: Well, that logo is so beautiful, it should be on both.
Speaker 3: And so it's on the shoulders, that main right in
Speaker 3: the heart, right there in the crest. Come on, Donny,
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't mind it. I like it different, different.
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful logo, having my bolt.
Speaker 1: That's all they do. Though it's on the shoulders, the
Speaker 1: main right in the guts of the jersey. I'm surprised, said,
Speaker 1: what's the biggest, arguably the biggest, most successful sports franchise
Speaker 1: in North America? We Yankees, the New York Yankees, Dodgers, Cowboys. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's let's focus on the Yankees. That was the first
Speaker 1: team to Their uniforms at home are very different from
Speaker 1: the ones in the road. And what do they have
Speaker 1: in the front of their jerseys On the road, They've
Speaker 1: got you know, the name New York in the front
Speaker 1: of their road. Then they have the classic and why
Speaker 1: at home? So put that in your pipe. It works
Speaker 1: for the Yankees. Who's gonna argue with them? All right?
Speaker 3: I just left the logo, don It should be on both.
Speaker 1: But that's me. You're the expert.
Speaker 3: On the uniforms.
Speaker 1: I like it. I'm with Prine. It's something different. Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe the canes are similar. I guess although they don't
Speaker 1: have the name of the state have.
Speaker 5: The three most recent expansion relocation franchises Vegas, Seattle, Utah.
Speaker 5: Nicest jerseys belong.
Speaker 1: To these guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it is. I think set nice. I
Speaker 5: don't like Vegas. Vegas is way too much going on.
Speaker 5: It's way too much going on. And the gloves and everything.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't white gloves. I thought they'd get rid
Speaker 1: of those after the season. It's just good because I
Speaker 1: guess it's it's better than back in the day when
Speaker 1: the Washington Capitals had white pants and the equipment managers
Speaker 1: were okay, forget it. I guess they don't get as
Speaker 1: dirty as they used to for for for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: the Krakens logo is outstanding. It is hard to beat that.
Speaker 1: I don't love their white uniforms.
Speaker 3: No, I know, they're very They're blue is good.
Speaker 1: The blue is good.
Speaker 5: What was the reverse retro?
Speaker 1: That one was nice the crowd. Oh yeah, when they
Speaker 1: had the multi stripes. Yeah, yeah, you're talking about you
Speaker 1: see it in their crowd.
Speaker 3: This one right hold on hold on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, that's that was nice.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 5: That's arguably their best look. And there's the reverse retro. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but no, I think I'm I you know, you know,
Speaker 5: I I think Utah should have stayed hockey club. I
Speaker 5: was okay with Utah Hockey Club. Something different, but that
Speaker 5: is a it looks it's a clos good one too.
Speaker 1: And then you can have fun with a third jersey that.
Speaker 5: Whenever, whenever dolleyball can figure out the fact that there's
Speaker 5: two jerseys in the I never again on the road,
Speaker 5: that logo should be on both.
Speaker 1: That's what I was saying.
Speaker 5: By the way, there's talk in the next CBA about
Speaker 5: the flip back eh white at home oh dark on road.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear that.
Speaker 3: I would rather. I love what junior hockey does, like
Speaker 3: the Giant went through the season, midway.
Speaker 5: Through the season, flip it.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 5: That's a brilliant idea. You talk about selling your merchandise.
Speaker 5: Give people get to see both things at home way better.
Speaker 1: But the thinking is that first of all, when they
Speaker 1: the Canucks first entered the National hockey that's when they
Speaker 1: changed teams. Before that, before nineteen seventy wore the dark
Speaker 1: uniforms on home ice. Canucks come in, they changed the
Speaker 1: white uniforms. Then you had a variety of colors coming
Speaker 1: into your building. I like that. Yeah, But the thinking
Speaker 1: now is they changed back what you know, five x
Speaker 1: the change back because home teams sell the dark uniforms
Speaker 1: more so let's show show those off. So I guess
Speaker 1: that makes sense. So why would they be thinking about
Speaker 1: changing back.
Speaker 5: I wonder if it's just this isle's go different, Old
Speaker 5: is new again, you know, But like I say, why
Speaker 5: to me? Do the hybrid and I also release the restrictions.
Speaker 5: If teams want five uniforms to wear the year, do
Speaker 5: it go nuts. Whatever you want to do. Some some
Speaker 5: do like look at the NBA. I mean you can
Speaker 5: see a different.
Speaker 1: Look every night. I don't mind. I'm sure it has
Speaker 1: a lot to do with the lot to do with money,
Speaker 1: capitals in the change, revenue a change, and I think
Speaker 1: what they should do is change back to their original jerseys.
Speaker 1: You see those in the crowd, the Dars sharp, the
Speaker 1: red oh that yeah, the red on the road, yeah
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, the stars down there, oh that's good. Down
Speaker 1: the sleeves you said it. The Hurricanes bad look they've
Speaker 1: never gone to You think about that franchise. They've gone
Speaker 1: from arguably one of the best uniforms going.
Speaker 5: To Yeah, and I would say bottom five, bottom five
Speaker 5: yeah yeah, just too much red and.
Speaker 1: Black in the league. Yeah, there's less now. The Buffalo changed, Yeah,
Speaker 1: change back to blue and yellow business. Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: Look at this pastime. Quit focusing on the inbox there.

Speaker 1: a little predator ISHU.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just got Nashville in it.
Speaker 1: Mammoth the logo a little bit. I guess I could
Speaker 1: see that and the wild logo, same same sort of thing.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: The wild logo is it's supposed to be. It isn't
Speaker 1: specifically a bear, but it looks like a bear. Go
Speaker 1: back to that's a polarizing look, the wild look. People
Speaker 1: either love my kids love their look. I'm so so
Speaker 1: on it is it just me us nick, this is good.
Speaker 1: But the King showed the Caducks why you don't trade
Speaker 1: defensive prospects for forwards when they moved Faber and a
Speaker 1: first for Fiala.
Speaker 3: And favors An. Absolutely stud Yeah. Did you see the
Speaker 3: minutes he played in the playoffs?
Speaker 1: I think and they got a first rounder as well.
Speaker 1: Absolutely yeah. But hey, you live and die with the
Speaker 1: all the d chance. Yeah. At the time though people
Speaker 1: thought it was I seem to remember most people thinking
Speaker 1: it was a pretty good, pretty good deal for the
Speaker 1: Kings getting. I don't like Fila what he got top
Speaker 1: goal scorer.
Speaker 3: How about Alex Burrows is head coach b X as
Speaker 3: president or GM in the near future, Brad from Black
Speaker 3: Creek Brad. They tried that with Trevor Lindon. The owner
Speaker 3: tried that with Trevor Linden. Not as a coach, though, no,
Speaker 3: I know, but as president and GM they tried it.
Speaker 3: And how did it end with Trevor Lindon done? Not
Speaker 3: really well for the owner, not really well? He left,
Speaker 3: he left, but gee, I wonder why he left on?
Speaker 3: I wonder why he left.
Speaker 1: It is intriguing. That's that's a good submission. It is
Speaker 1: HC and Ladner? Is it just me? Hey? Don Can
Speaker 1: the whole sale changing of the seats at Rogers be
Speaker 1: considered a rebuilt according to the Aquallini family again and
Speaker 1: not a bad not a bad submission. Maybe that's their
Speaker 1: idea of a rebuilt. That's good, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 3: Uh does number forty three still go to the raptors?
Speaker 3: If Quinn Hughes leaves in two years shade a good question.
Speaker 3: If Quinn Hughes leaves in two years done, does your
Speaker 3: view of him?
Speaker 1: Change? And you know, do you retire his jersey? Still?
Speaker 1: That's a good not a whole lot of teams? Well
Speaker 1: the one year and you know what, you forget that
Speaker 1: he's been around longer than I think most people think.
Speaker 1: He was with them in the twenty twenty bubble as well, yes,
Speaker 1: when they had some playoff success. His numbers are just tremendous.
Speaker 1: That's that's food for thought. I would think ring of
Speaker 1: honor at the very least for him, oh for sure.
Speaker 1: And maybe it would depend on how he how he
Speaker 1: leaves min you Pavel Burry that didn't exactly leave on
Speaker 1: great terms. And his number ten is up there. Yep,
Speaker 1: that's a good point. Is it just me Jay and
Speaker 1: New West or should it only be a requirement for
Speaker 1: an NHL team to wear their white jerseys when the
Speaker 1: two teams use the same colors for their dirt jerseys.
Speaker 1: It wasn't an issue at the Four Nations face off
Speaker 1: for Canada to wear red while the US was wearing blue,
Speaker 1: and we see it in the NBA all the time.
Speaker 1: I added that last part. But good submssion by Jay
Speaker 1: in New West and Rob McLain often talks about how
Speaker 1: he wouldn't mind something like that. At least he used
Speaker 1: to talk about this, just the contrast to the white
Speaker 1: ice the two teams wearing darker uniforms, as long as
Speaker 1: they're different colors, he'd beat just fine with that.
Speaker 3: Yep, absolutely good submission there as well. This one is
Speaker 3: to Ryan, would you please ask the two idiots if
Speaker 3: they would pay four or five hundred dollars for a
Speaker 3: hotel room that has a thirty five year old mattress.
Speaker 1: You get what you pay for.
Speaker 3: Rogers Arena seats are disgusting. How couldn't they be with
Speaker 3: five billion people parking their asses on them for thirty
Speaker 3: five years? Give your head to shake. Port Moody Princess
Speaker 3: ripping in West.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing. We asked for sound effects. You never
Speaker 1: have them ready, that is, until something supports you, supports you.
Speaker 1: Here's the difference, and Port Moody Princess oftentimes has real
Speaker 1: positive does today. I'm a little surprised all the studios
Speaker 1: my neck of the woods. I have to think before
Speaker 1: I say this. The mattress isn't the star of the show,
Speaker 1: you know, hotel room.
Speaker 3: Came it might be a star.
Speaker 1: You got you got me there, But the stir of
Speaker 1: the show when you go see a sporting event is
Speaker 1: the event.
Speaker 5: Yeah no, But the bottom line is if you paid
Speaker 5: four hundred bucks for a night in a hotel and
Speaker 5: your mattress is crap, you would be very disappointed. That's
Speaker 5: a key element to it. Much like going to Rogers Arena.
Speaker 5: A key element is you sitting on that seat and
Speaker 5: if it's.
Speaker 3: Falling apart or it's got no back or no this,
Speaker 3: No that you can go to events and hotel rooms.
Speaker 1: And not bitch what you can? What event? What event
Speaker 1: you're going to? Room?
Speaker 3: Donny and I Empire wouldn't seatch. We never complained, Yeah
Speaker 3: I can't, Rick, you're not understanding you can.
Speaker 1: I want to know what event you had hotel. You
Speaker 1: say this all the time.
Speaker 5: You had ten bucks in your pocket and you bought
Speaker 5: at seven dollars tickets. Okay, yes, and you had changed
Speaker 5: never complained about the sea. But it's different now nowadays,
Speaker 5: all you young kids wall it's not a bitch and
Speaker 5: complaining about stuff like seats. Who cares sit and watch
Speaker 5: it's or do whatever you do in hotel hotel rooms.
Speaker 3: My biggest issue in hotel rooms is the pillows.
Speaker 1: They're too sopped on.
Speaker 5: They gotta get you have a big thing about that. Yeah,
Speaker 5: the pillows, you sink right down. The pillows got to
Speaker 5: be harder. Like no, this is again a Seinfeld reference,
Speaker 5: the overtack ted attack. What's going on there?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Stop it right now? Yeah, nowadays, Baker, we stayed
Speaker 1: during a hockey tournament. Maybe the worst it was on
Speaker 1: the Sunshine Coast, maybe the worst hotel ever. There were
Speaker 1: stains everywhere, the mattress to the floor, the coffee table.
Speaker 1: It was amazing. That's not good hair, That's not good
Speaker 1: at all. It So maybe she's got a point. What
Speaker 1: else you got, Rick?
Speaker 3: Stop with I Love Lucy. It's a terrible show. But
Speaker 3: Gilligan's Island. Now you're talking money, you know what. I'm
Speaker 3: sorry down but very surprised at your take on I
Speaker 3: Love Lucy. I'm a huge and Lucio ballfan.
Speaker 5: And for you, I have to be I never said that,
Speaker 5: So I'm shot a sec Ricky Ricardo, hold on a
Speaker 5: sephel You said that.
Speaker 1: You said that you loved I Love Lucy because you
Speaker 1: don't like Seinfeld. You think I Love Lucy is better
Speaker 1: than Seinfeld. Absolutely, you have to leave this show.
Speaker 3: No, you got to be back in the eighties and
Speaker 3: the seventies to know I Love Lucy and how good
Speaker 3: it was. I was in the fifties and sixties, fifty sixties,
Speaker 3: but I watched it in the seventies, eighties, great show.
Speaker 1: I was in Penticton. This is unsigned. It's unreal, is
Speaker 1: it just me? But I was in Penticton for the
Speaker 1: Connocks four day main camp when EPD was paired with Ronick.
Speaker 1: Between every single drill, Adam Foot was talking to EPD,
Speaker 1: instructing him, encouraging, encouraging him. Adam Foot is a great
Speaker 1: development coach and he will be sorely missed. Epd style
Speaker 1: of play mimicks Foot's strongest attributes.
Speaker 3: Well, there's somebody who likes Adam Foot. And look at
Speaker 3: Tyler Myers raven about Adam Foot. All the d loved him,
Speaker 3: all the defensemen loved him. There's no question.
Speaker 1: A look that I think Elias pettersons and another great
Speaker 1: Oh he's speaking of Abbotsford. He's product of the Abbotsford candyce. Tremendous,
Speaker 1: absolutely tremendously. Okay, I'll break and we'll be back to
Speaker 1: wrap up the show. In the poll question next, donning

Speaker 1: with the yellow, the north Stars green and yellow.
Speaker 3: It's pretty effective, Donnie. When they came to the Pacific Coliseum,
Speaker 3: the north Stars, it would be and get excited. Well,
