Speaker 2: Here's Donnie and Dolly.
Speaker 1: Ten o'clock in downtown Vancouver or the Paul Carson Studio.
Speaker 1: Thanks for tuning in, folks. It's Donnie and Dolly and
Speaker 1: the team on Check. Don Taylor along with Rick Dellywall,
Speaker 1: Ryan Henderson as our producer. He's a man of the controls.
Speaker 1: Our director. The voice of God is Derek won. How
Speaker 1: are you.
Speaker 5: Oh, we need a ten hour show today? Two's not
Speaker 5: gonna do it. It's not gonna do it, Donny.
Speaker 1: A lot has happened since Friday. Cannock wise, they played
Speaker 1: a couple of games and right after our show. We're
Speaker 1: not long after our show, and they made a couple
Speaker 1: of traits. We want to get into all of that
Speaker 1: during the course of the show. By the way, one
Speaker 1: of the people that one of the players the Canucks acquired,
Speaker 1: Philip Headl, very impressive yesterday. His agent Quinn Hughes, Les
Speaker 1: Petterson Tyler Myers. He also represents them. JP Berry is
Speaker 1: going to join us at the bottom of the hour,
Speaker 1: so you can look forward to that. Let's go back
Speaker 1: to Friday, though, and we'll get to the Cannock game
Speaker 1: last night. We were going to save it for the
Speaker 1: second segment, the Canuck game, but I want to I
Speaker 1: want to talk about it in the first segment today.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Friday and break down the news
Speaker 1: that the Canucks made on the trade market yesterday. First
Speaker 1: of all, they make a trade with the New York Rangers.
Speaker 1: We got that graphic there we go. So J. T. Miller,
Speaker 1: as rumored, goes to the New York Rangers along with
Speaker 1: Eric Branstrom and prospect defenseman Jackson Dorrington. In return, Vancouver
Speaker 1: receives Philip Headel, Victor Mancini, a defenseman, and a twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five protected first round draft pick. Not long after that,
Speaker 1: the Canucks took that first round draft pick and sent
Speaker 1: it to the Pittsburgh Penguins for another player that was
Speaker 1: rumored to be on the trade block. Rumbered to be
Speaker 1: on his way to Vancouver, and of course he was,
Speaker 1: because he's Swedish, a penguin and a penguin, and his
Speaker 1: name's Peterson, so where else would he end up Vancouver?
Speaker 1: So again the Canucks packaging up that Rangers twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five first round draft pick, along with Vincent Deharnay, whose
Speaker 1: time well it just didn't work out in Vancouver didn't
Speaker 1: live up the expectations. I think the saint can be said,
Speaker 1: with all due respect, he's got family and friends in
Speaker 1: the Vancouver area. He's from Langley, Danton Ahinen Melvin Fernstrom
Speaker 1: also going to Pittsburgh, Vancouver receiving in return Marcus Patterson
Speaker 1: and Drew O'Connor, both of whom made their conuct debuts yesterday.
Speaker 1: My initial reaction, I don't know about yours, was very
Speaker 1: negative and I have to say what trade though both
Speaker 1: are one, well both I didn't like. I don't like,
Speaker 1: you know me, I don't like trading away draft picks.
Speaker 1: Name is horbat right for heroonic right exactly, So there
Speaker 1: was that. And then to be honest, you know J. T.
Speaker 1: Miller is, and we're going to talk more about him
Speaker 1: in the second segment. I think he's one of the
Speaker 1: all time It was on his way to becoming one
Speaker 1: of the all time great Canucks. Wartz's side, I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, point production leadership to a point. He was
Speaker 1: on his way, and off he goes to the New
Speaker 1: York Rangers. Now you know he could say no to
Speaker 1: any trade he right, that's right. He had the no
Speaker 1: trade clause, so he had to waive that in order
Speaker 1: to move, so he kind of had the Canucks. I
Speaker 1: have to say that I didn't know how much of
Speaker 1: a whole lot about Philip Heel or anybody else the
Speaker 1: Caducks acquired in that deal. Well Mancini, certainly, But what
Speaker 1: was your action? Mine was negative. Then we'll get to
Speaker 1: how my opinion at least changed.
Speaker 5: I told you long time ago they weren't gonna win
Speaker 5: a Miller trade, and I gave you all the reasons.
Speaker 5: I don't think they won that trade. But bottom line,
Speaker 5: one had to go either Miller or Patterson.
Speaker 1: Dawn.
Speaker 5: It wasn't fixable. It had passed the stage of fixing.
Speaker 1: This.
Speaker 5: It was not fixable. Management tried, the players tried, the
Speaker 5: agent's tried. You had to do something for the dressing room.
Speaker 5: You had to do something for the workplace environment. You
Speaker 5: had to do something, Donny, for the culture.
Speaker 1: They did.
Speaker 5: Very interesting comment from Red Talcket. Some things happened behind
Speaker 5: the scenes with JT. Everyone's going back to the Nashville
Speaker 5: game got benched two days later.
Speaker 1: We're gonna deal with that more so SEGM.
Speaker 5: But bottom line one had to go. Bottom line and
Speaker 5: one went, and it was Miller. You can say what
Speaker 5: you want. Was it the wrong guy?
Speaker 1: Right guy? One had to go, Okay, let's hit the
Speaker 1: hoglights from last night, and then I'll get into it.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how you feel, but I'll get
Speaker 1: into how my opinion changed based on one game, based
Speaker 1: on on Sunday. That might be wrong, but it did
Speaker 1: change my opinion. Derek, We're good rock and Roll, my
Speaker 1: friend too. The new Canucks Marcus Patterson wearing Jack Michael
Speaker 1: Harvey's only for twenty nine, Drew O'Connor wearing Steve curry
Speaker 1: is old number eighteen. Early first Elias Petterson's point shot
Speaker 1: tipped in by Pugh Souiter fourteenth to the season for
Speaker 1: the former Red Wring one nothing Canucks EP twenty five
Speaker 1: first NHL point. Two minutes later, Detroit three on two,
Speaker 1: Alex Jabrinkett cuts to the middle, shoots and scores as
Speaker 1: Tyler Myers gets interfered with that goal. Shouldn't count it?
Speaker 1: Oh one one on Griffiths Way. We go to period
Speaker 1: number two. Ben Sharratt, with the seeing eye shot from
Speaker 1: the point, gets through a maze and beats Kevin Lankin
Speaker 1: and two to one. Wings in the Roadway with the
Speaker 1: simple yet effective red trim. Third period, Red Winks cough
Speaker 1: the puck up two. Philip Heatle head up, making moves,
Speaker 1: whip the pucks past Alex Lyon and look at this.
Speaker 1: That's the way you celebrate a goal. Rogers are in
Speaker 1: his rocket his twelfth two two. We're on all overtime,
Speaker 1: less than a minute left of the extra Stanza Alex
Speaker 1: to Brinkett is gonna get the puck to Lucas Raymond,
Speaker 1: Lucas Raymond back to to Brinkett, who looks a bit
Speaker 1: like jd. Vance. By the way, it's just me he
Speaker 1: plays hero to brinke Ittt does Wings win. They're six
Speaker 1: straight three to two over the Codocks Colorado and Vancouver
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Okay, now, I was blown away by Philip
Speaker 1: Heedle And let me just say this, I like, unlike
Speaker 1: a lot of people, I am telling the truth when
Speaker 1: I say and maybe this is going too far, and
Speaker 1: you can criticize me all you want, you Ryan everybody.
Speaker 1: November fifth, nineteen nine, I was there at the Coliseum
Speaker 1: when Palvel Burrey made his debut for the Vancouver Canucks. Yep,
Speaker 1: blew everybody away. And to Ann Rushes, he didn't get
Speaker 1: a goal, he didn't get an assist on game, didn't
Speaker 1: didn't end up in a kannunk convictory, wasn't televised, believe
Speaker 1: it or not, sure, but ended up in a two
Speaker 1: to two tie. Kind of similar to yesterday. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: Philip headel like, when's the last time we saw a
Speaker 1: Canuck grabbed the puck like he did on a multiple occasions.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he's gonna be the next Palvl Burrey,
Speaker 1: but he looked fabulous carrying the pips and to end
Speaker 1: fast moving his feet, which has been the criticism of
Speaker 1: Elias Petterson for a significant amount of time. Now he
Speaker 1: looked great. Do you tell me other than quinn us
Speaker 1: we're talking about forwards. Now, when's the last time he
Speaker 1: seen a guy make these kind of moves? You know,
Speaker 1: rushed the puck so confidently, but like I say, with speed,
Speaker 1: head up, moving his feet, what's the last time we've
Speaker 1: seen somebody.
Speaker 5: Like It's been a while. And he looked like a
Speaker 5: number one center last night.
Speaker 1: Done.
Speaker 5: I want to say this about Hetel. I want to
Speaker 5: say this. People are saying concussion issues, but I want
Speaker 5: to talk to you. I talked to an agent or sorry,
Speaker 5: a scout about Hetel. This is what he said, done
Speaker 5: high ceiling when he's rolling. Potential is there. Needs to
Speaker 5: be more consistent and stay healthy. But if they get
Speaker 5: the heatle that is consistent and healthy. Oh boy, he's
Speaker 5: got two years left on his deal. Good move to
Speaker 5: get him. And I canna tell you something else. Two
Speaker 5: years ago, the Canucks said Miller horvat Patterson up the middle.
Speaker 5: Not many teams had that up the middle. Not as
Speaker 5: strong up the middle anymore obviously, but boyl boy, he
Speaker 5: can make a difference if he's healthy.
Speaker 1: He looked like they're number one center last night, and
Speaker 1: look at it. Look at his ice time. Yeah, over
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, three shots, five attempts, nine and three on face.
Speaker 1: Obviously he got the goal. He just looked. He just
Speaker 1: looked borderline dominant, yes to. And again it's one game,
Speaker 1: and you talked about consistency, so we'll see. Obviously he
Speaker 1: was pumped up a lot of adrenaline going on. But
Speaker 1: I honestly, and I know I'm going too far with
Speaker 1: the Burret comparison, but I'm just trying. You trying, You
Speaker 1: tell me, when's the last time you saw somebody carry.
Speaker 5: The puck like that, looking for the Canucks and holding
Speaker 5: onto the puck instead of just getting it on your
Speaker 5: stick and getting rid of it, held.
Speaker 1: On, blowing by defenders.
Speaker 5: All the good players hold onto the puck to make
Speaker 5: a good play. And look at that right there. And
Speaker 5: by the way, he was averaging fourteen to fifteen minutes
Speaker 5: a game in New York twenty last night. So guess
Speaker 5: what he needed a fresh start, he got it. Maybe
Speaker 5: Vancouver is the place he takes off.
Speaker 1: So behind Trocheck and Zabinajad as far as the center
Speaker 1: ice position goes in New York, maybe the New York
Speaker 1: Rangers made a mistake. It certainly looked like it last night.
Speaker 1: Now I say that, and we're going to talk more
Speaker 1: about j T. Miller in the second segment. You moved
Speaker 1: the clock on me, Ryan. This is really you know,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, very confusing here. I'm I'm a defa, I've
Speaker 1: got it. It's right here, it's good. But it just
Speaker 1: moved like a foot higher. It's throwing me on That
Speaker 1: was me, by the way.
Speaker 5: It was okay because it was on the floor. It
Speaker 5: was on the floor and I picked it up and
Speaker 5: I put it over there.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about JT. Miller and his time with the
Speaker 1: Canucks and you know what may or may have not
Speaker 1: led to his departure. But we'll deal with the clock
Speaker 1: issue as well. But I want to run this clip
Speaker 1: as well. This is Philip Heetel a post game and
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from Rick Talckett as well during this
Speaker 1: cluster of clips, a couple of clips with Philip Hetel.
Speaker 1: But this is a Philip Heal first of all, and
Speaker 1: it's going to be followed by TALKTT. I want to
Speaker 1: folks only to pay attention to what Philipetal has to
Speaker 1: say in the third clip here, what will be the
Speaker 1: third of three clips here and his pregame message from
Speaker 1: Rick Tockett. But first of all, this is Philip hetel
Speaker 1: On scoring a big goal in his first game with
Speaker 1: the Canucks. I lost that man.
Speaker 6: That meant a lot to me in that moment that
Speaker 6: it was so many emotions in my head. And uh, yeah,
Speaker 6: I always said, I I want to build on that
Speaker 6: and and keep working hard every day and and be
Speaker 6: even better than today.
Speaker 7: Really good control the play, wanted the puck off the rush.
Speaker 7: He could you know, obviously he's a guy that can
Speaker 7: make some plays off the rush. Obviously a big gold
Speaker 7: for us.
Speaker 1: So it was a good debut for him.
Speaker 6: From talking for you heading into this game, I just
Speaker 6: play my game, just enjoy it and and uh it
Speaker 6: was not much time to get any instructions to how
Speaker 6: to play a system and everything. I just I just, uh,
Speaker 6: even when we spoke about something, just still going with
Speaker 6: muscle memory and with your instincts, what do you have
Speaker 6: because it was not much time to to actually to
Speaker 6: understand it. So yeah, it's it's gonna be more time,
Speaker 6: I think in the next couple of days to speak
Speaker 6: about that with them. But yeah, he also helped me
Speaker 6: a lot of that. He said, Yeah, keep playing your
Speaker 6: game and have fun.
Speaker 1: So just play your game, have fun, don't worry about
Speaker 1: the system. So a lot of people criticize Rick Toocket's system.
Speaker 1: It's to it restricts offense. Whatever he told him or
Speaker 1: didn't tell Philip Heel yesterday, just keep doing that exactly.
Speaker 1: That was That was That was effective. What I saw
Speaker 1: from number seventy two really really effective and fun. The
Speaker 1: building was alive, and a lot of it had to
Speaker 1: do with him. Let him do his thing offense. Obviously
Speaker 1: he's got to, you know, bear down defensively. I get
Speaker 1: all that. I will say this, here's another thing about him. Yep.
Speaker 1: So okay, system aside, and I guess it's that that
Speaker 1: may or may not change. But there was a moment
Speaker 1: in the first period where he had a horrible give
Speaker 1: away and it ended up in a Detroit chance think
Speaker 1: Lankin and made a save on it, and moments later
Speaker 1: he grabbed the puck and did what I was just
Speaker 1: talking about, grabbed the puck and made an ant to
Speaker 1: Anne rush that turnover didn't bother him. I love saying that.
Speaker 1: Usually guys would shrink away, you know, from trying to
Speaker 1: rush the puck up ice after and making a horrible
Speaker 1: giveaway like that. Just his confidence level was outstanding yesterday.
Speaker 1: On top of everything.
Speaker 5: Else, Carnucks had to get a centerment back for Miller, Donny,
Speaker 5: and they did. And is he a top six center,
Speaker 5: a regular one? Is he going to be there every
Speaker 5: single game? We don't know that.
Speaker 1: Well, who who? What do you mean? Okay?
Speaker 5: Well, hold of a second? Who I wat a second?
Speaker 5: I talked about his inconsistent playing injuries in New York.
Speaker 5: Why do you think he was made available to Vancouver?
Speaker 1: If he was really consistenty wanted JT. Miller?
Speaker 5: Maybe if he was super duper, Well, he's younger than
Speaker 5: j T. Miller, He's only twenty five, twenty six. You
Speaker 5: don't cough up a guy like that. There were issues.
Speaker 1: So you think the issue is Philip Hetel being a
Speaker 1: top two So.
Speaker 5: I'd never said that. Maybe the other guy said he's
Speaker 5: they're gonna have to work with him on his consistency.
Speaker 1: Why was he available? He was not consistent in New York? Done?
Speaker 5: And you know what, let's do this. Let's see him
Speaker 5: for ten fifteen games and let's hope every game is
Speaker 5: the one like that he played last night.
Speaker 1: Do you think he looked better than Ilias Petterson last
Speaker 1: night I think did I think that? Yeah, well he
Speaker 1: did in one game. He definitely did. He did, he did,
Speaker 1: he did. And Peterson, I'm mostly because he moved his feet.
Speaker 1: He moved his feet, you know, he moved his feet absolutely.
Speaker 1: As for the other players, Marcus Patterson, I love the
Speaker 1: way he pinched very confidently. And Drew O'Connor, let me
Speaker 1: just say this with heatel and we haven't seen Mancini yet.
Speaker 1: They looked bigger and fast fast today.
Speaker 5: The new guys were faster. They brought speed and size.
Speaker 1: O'Connor.
Speaker 5: You saw in the first goal four check and then
Speaker 5: he stands in front of the net and the screen
Speaker 5: you saw it. But he also was he didn't get
Speaker 5: the puck out on one of the Detroit goal as
Speaker 5: well when him and Peterson were in the corner. But anyways,
Speaker 5: the DP Petterson man, look, they got three Pedersons on
Speaker 5: this team. We're gonna have to clarify the defenseman Peterson
Speaker 5: in the corner. The young guy shipped it up to
Speaker 5: him and he couldn't get it out.
Speaker 1: So anyways, and and and again, uh, you know, somebody
Speaker 1: in this studio ahead of the curve EPD now fits
Speaker 1: you can't go DPDPD like that. There's too many Pettersons, elliots.
Speaker 1: We know that we can't go DPD because you've got
Speaker 1: Marcus Patterson.
Speaker 5: Okay, but every time we mentioned Peterson, now we have
Speaker 5: to clarify which one we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Don It's okay. How about there's people out there doing
Speaker 1: jobs a lot tougher than ours. Yeah, well, anyways, well
Speaker 1: we'll get through it South and you guys look good.
Speaker 1: And the Petterson mentioned you mentioned defenseman twenty five minutes less.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the season high and they're gonna try and
Speaker 5: resign him, Donnie, you keep keeping on them.
Speaker 1: That's something we didn't mention about. The Peterson and O'Connor
Speaker 1: being your way to the UFL. Hey status, let me
Speaker 1: get this in quickly. I talked to Petterson's agent, Marcus
Speaker 1: Marcus Patterson's agent. Is this na Peterson too?
Speaker 5: Marcus Patterson's agent, Peter Wallant. Peter Wallant. They both sides.
Speaker 5: You know this is going to be a long term deal.
Speaker 5: I expect something to get done, and I expect something
Speaker 5: to get done soon. Let's see if it happens. But
Speaker 5: I think both sides want to get it done.
Speaker 1: What if it doesn't happen? What I look like an
Speaker 1: idiot for the one million time DTMZ. Well we see
Speaker 1: we can do about that the rest of the show,
Speaker 1: DTMZ is it just me? Coming up in the eleven
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, Elliot, what a show we have? Oh heavyweights

Speaker 5: I do the same with trades. I want to wait, Donnie.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to say the Canucks won the Miller
Speaker 5: trade because Heat had a great game last night. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna wait ten games. Then we'll see how Miller's doing
Speaker 5: in New York. By the way, he's off to a
Speaker 5: great start, and then we'll see how the Conducks. So
Speaker 5: you're being wishy was I'm not.
Speaker 1: Being wishy wash you. Why should I be wishy? Watched
Speaker 1: you when I'm not with I don't know why should

Speaker 1: to wait ten games. Why not just say your opinion
Speaker 1: hasn't changed.
Speaker 5: Well, it hasn't changed, then fine, I'm gonna wait ten
Speaker 5: days games.
Speaker 1: Then we'll see who won. I was just very, very
Speaker 1: very impressed. I was too.
Speaker 5: He and the Petterson defenseman canuckscott now two good pairs.
Speaker 1: Sure, but he wasn't involved in the trades on Friday. Yes,
Speaker 1: he was already part of the the Connucks organis.
Speaker 5: No, I'm talking about Marcus who came over from Pittsburgh. Okay, yeah, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 5: twenty five minutes.
Speaker 1: Already already problems.
Speaker 5: Too many Pettersons. For US broadcasting people, it's.
Speaker 1: It's hard to and batch what they have to deal with.
Speaker 1: PD one two three, give them all the number. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is Delaney's okay, Taron Langley inbox, Alan and Cloverdale.
Speaker 1: I always suspected that Don Taylor smoked wheat after hearing
Speaker 1: the Philip Headel comparisons to Pavelo Burrey. I now have confirmation.
Speaker 1: So I again I'll ask the question and nobody thanks
Speaker 1: for that. I appreciate it. Alan, I just want some
Speaker 1: somebody to tell me out there, when's the last time
Speaker 1: we saw Forward carry the puck like that's certainly in
Speaker 1: a debut. Burray wasn't traded for he was drafted, but
Speaker 1: there was a lot of anticipation there. He came through
Speaker 1: and I thought he came through last night.
Speaker 5: He's got a little Peter Nedved in him, maybe if
Speaker 5: you believe it or not. But I saw this, so
Speaker 5: I just the way he carries the puck. Ned carried
Speaker 5: the puck the same way.
Speaker 1: That's just my never Nedvid going in to end like
Speaker 1: that or close to ant.
Speaker 5: He wasn't a crappy player like I mean, Donnie had
Speaker 5: a long career. I mean he was a pretty good
Speaker 5: player for a long time high draft pick.
Speaker 1: But anyway, second overall, yeah, they could have had Yogur
Speaker 1: That was right here in Vancouver. And you know how
Speaker 1: I feel about about people who criticized that draft pick.
Speaker 1: It was in Vancouver. Oh and you know Yager was
Speaker 1: available right right there when they when they did they
Speaker 1: drafted vat right there. But there was some thought that
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be able to get I think the Iron
Speaker 1: Curtain was still around back then and it was still
Speaker 1: going to be an issue. And the rest is history.
Speaker 1: One of the great players of all time. Okay, So
Speaker 1: we wanted to deal with j. T. Miller now in
Speaker 1: this segment and his time as a Vancouver Canuck as
Speaker 1: he moves on to the New York Rangers, and boy,
Speaker 1: what a start for him. They go one and one
Speaker 1: on the weekend, they lose in Boston, then come back
Speaker 1: and beat Vegas yesterday and he gets himself two goals
Speaker 1: in in Boston and then a couple of assists and
Speaker 1: a big hit against the Vegas gold and I were
Speaker 1: taking Golden Knights, were taking a look at the well
Speaker 1: the first goal he got in Boston on Saturday, I
Speaker 1: wondered what the Vancouver viewership. But the ratings were like
Speaker 1: in Vancouver for this game, they must have been extremely high. Absolutely, Okay,
Speaker 1: myself and my boys, we both made sure we watched
Speaker 1: the whole thing and he came through. They lost, But
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with what the way j T. Miller played
Speaker 1: wearing the number eight. By the way Steve Vickers old
Speaker 1: number eight.
Speaker 5: You know, Donnie didn't have to be this way. He
Speaker 5: could have stayed.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: It was bittersweet. His agent told me when he got
Speaker 5: traded and he got the news. Don he was a
Speaker 5: great Canuck. I don't care what anybody says. You could
Speaker 5: be pro Miller or pro Patterson. This guy came to Vancouver.
Speaker 5: Don established himself as a top player point per game.
Speaker 5: He fought, he had the physicality, he had the strength,
Speaker 5: he was a power forward. He had over one hundred points.
Speaker 5: There's a million good things about him. Everything just went
Speaker 5: wrong this year. Everything that could go wrong for JT
Speaker 5: went wrong this year and he ended up getting traded.
Speaker 5: But do not take away from the fact that J. T.
Speaker 5: Miller was a great Canuck. Nobody expected him to do
Speaker 5: what he did when they when he got traded here,
Speaker 5: oh my god, what are the Knucks doing. What are
Speaker 5: Knucks doing? Oh yeah, everybody was ripping the trade. Oh
Speaker 5: my god, they just gave up what for?
Speaker 8: J T.
Speaker 1: Miller ended up being a great Canuck. He's called Jim
Speaker 1: Benning deal.
Speaker 5: It was a Jim Benning deal, and Jim Benning should
Speaker 5: be given credit for that deal. He had the foresight
Speaker 5: and he was a great Canuck heart and soul guy.
Speaker 5: It didn't have to be this way. It just wasn't fixable.
Speaker 5: Everybody tried. Everybody tried to fix it. They had just
Speaker 5: gone past the point of no return.
Speaker 1: Five and a half years with the Vancouver Canucks, and
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were surprised with a
Speaker 1: couple of stats. Eleventh all time in Canuck points that
Speaker 1: happened pretty quickly. Also second all time in points per game,
Speaker 1: behind the aforementioned Pavel Bret. J T. Miller was and
Speaker 1: again I'm you know, I'm going way too far with
Speaker 1: a lot of things to you know, comparing Heatl to bra.
Speaker 1: But I think he was on his way to at
Speaker 1: the very least the ring of honor, maybe getting his
Speaker 1: number nine retired.
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, I would think about that in the future.
Speaker 5: He gave it all he had he wore. He wore
Speaker 5: his heart and his sleep. Sometimes he cared too much.
Speaker 5: You know, when Michael Ferlan came to Vancouver, somebody close
Speaker 5: to him said, his bleep meter is very high. You
Speaker 5: know what I'm talking about. But anyway, the same thing
Speaker 5: with JT.
Speaker 1: He cares.
Speaker 5: Sometimes when you push your passion and enthusiasm, and sometimes
Speaker 5: in a negative way, it's bad things happen. The guy
Speaker 5: cared every time he put on that Kinnuk uniform.
Speaker 1: He cared.
Speaker 5: You know what, You'll never ever you can rip Miller
Speaker 5: till you're blue in the face, But he cared every
Speaker 5: time he put that Kinnuk uniform on.
Speaker 1: But then there's the question of, like you just said,
Speaker 1: sometimes you take things too far. Was he actually a
Speaker 1: good teammate? And you know there was the body language issues,
Speaker 1: there was whatever was going on behind the scenes. I
Speaker 1: want to run the second clip, the Patrick Elvine clip, Derek,
Speaker 1: if you don't mind, not the first one where Patrick
Speaker 1: talks about this deal being two months in the making.
Speaker 1: And you know, when you heard Patrick Alvin's we can't
Speaker 1: interview with the media, it became pretty clear that Petterson
Speaker 1: was never moving. The first guy moving was the only
Speaker 1: guy moving was j T. Miller. We'll still see what happens.
Speaker 1: But the eleas Patterson, but the focus was on J. T. Miller.
Speaker 1: But the clip that I want to run here is
Speaker 1: clip two of Alvin Derek if you don't mind, but
Speaker 1: hinting that there were issues with multiple players, multiple members
Speaker 1: of the organization, and not just to Elias Patterson.
Speaker 9: You have twenty three men roster, and I've been on
Speaker 9: teams where there is different personalities.
Speaker 1: Just face it. I mean J T.
Speaker 9: Miller is I mean, the reason why he's good in
Speaker 9: the league is that he's super competitive and he's walking
Speaker 9: the fine line at times. And I also think that
Speaker 9: he's been dealing with a lot of other things. And
Speaker 9: I wouldn't just say it's about two players, it's about
Speaker 9: twenty three men that you're not dressing room. You hold
Speaker 9: each other accountable, and we're not running a country club here.
Speaker 9: We're running a professional hockey team and the players demanding
Speaker 9: a lot from themselves and each other. So it's going
Speaker 9: to be a competitive environment.
Speaker 1: He talked about twenty three players. I just thought listening
Speaker 1: to that clip that you know, maybe and again respect
Speaker 1: by the way, the book is going to be fabulous
Speaker 1: whenever it it all comes out years from now, or
Speaker 1: all sorts of intrigue anyway, depending on who writes it.
Speaker 1: But I just got the feeling that it went beyond
Speaker 1: Eleas Patterson. Rick, do you know anything more? Okay? Well?
Speaker 5: Rick Talkott also said there was an interesting quote from
Speaker 5: Taket done. Something's happened beyond the scenes with GT. Everybody's
Speaker 5: going back to the night the Nashville Sunday night, nove seventeenth. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he got benched and then two days later he took
Speaker 5: the leave. All I'm gonna say is this, there's a
Speaker 5: million rumors about that night, and you know what, I'm
Speaker 5: not going to hold any of the rumors in high
Speaker 5: regard until JT himself comes out and says this is
Speaker 5: what happened. I've heard that, I've heard everything. I've heard
Speaker 5: a million rumors what happened that night or what possibly
Speaker 5: could have caused his leave of absence. But until you
Speaker 5: nailed it, until JT writes his book and says, this
Speaker 5: is what happened, why somebody leave? I'm not I can't
Speaker 5: sit here. And there was another vicious rumor on the
Speaker 5: weekend about you know, JT and what happened that night. Look,
Speaker 5: the bottom line is he's not here anymore.
Speaker 1: If you want to die this rumor, can you tell people.
Speaker 5: Just that he had a confrontation with a coach? You know,
Speaker 5: Did he have a confrontation.
Speaker 1: With a coach verbal or physical? That one?
Speaker 5: I don't know, just a confrontation I've heard, you know.
Speaker 5: So I don't know until JT comes out and says
Speaker 5: what happened. I can't sit there.
Speaker 1: And go there.
Speaker 5: But clearly done for him to take a leave after
Speaker 5: it was only two days after the Nashville game, So
Speaker 5: clearly something happened there. But I don't have I can't
Speaker 5: put the put it on like I can't kneel it.
Speaker 1: What happened? Only JT knows. There's there's there's something there.
Speaker 1: And Patrick Alvin, we'll we'll go to break on his
Speaker 1: first clip, by the way, Derek, but on Patrick Elvin's
Speaker 1: first clip, if you don't mind, But Patrick Elvin talked
Speaker 1: about JT's health, whether that's physical health or mental health,
Speaker 1: his family. He also used the words safe a lot,
Speaker 1: like a safe environment for not just j T Miller,
Speaker 1: but everybody in the in the organization. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of intrigue there there's a lot of intrigues, like what
Speaker 1: does that mean? A safe environment was what was going on.
Speaker 1: But J. T. Miller I believe was on his way
Speaker 1: to becoming one of the one of the great Canucks
Speaker 1: eleventh all time and points second all time in points
Speaker 1: per game average. Now back to being a New York Ranger,
Speaker 1: and he's off to a very good start there, as
Speaker 1: is Philip Hetal and the other acquisitions the Canucks made
Speaker 1: in Vancouver. Okay, you should we do some business here, Ryan,
Speaker 1: and then throw to break Able Auctions Thursday. Able will
Speaker 1: sell twenty mini excavators able to course our title sponsor,
Speaker 1: a fifty three foot mod space, portable office, a large
Speaker 1: sempower generator, all kinds of truction vehicles including transit vans

Speaker 1: Berry NHL agent he represents, among others, Philip Heedal. He's
Speaker 1: going to join us next. But as we go to
Speaker 1: break Patrick Alvin on on how moving JT. Miller was
Speaker 1: two months in the making.
Speaker 9: This was a conversation between myself and JT and his
Speaker 9: agent that started about two months ago. With his health
Speaker 9: and the environment we had during the time and during
Speaker 9: the discussions leading up to yesterday, I felt that he
Speaker 9: probably needed a fresh start and where he was in
Speaker 9: his life and in his age and with his family,
Speaker 9: that this was the best option for him and the
Speaker 9: Vancouver Counts.

Speaker 1: C A A Sports also represents Eleias Peterson and Quinn
Speaker 1: Hughes and JP joins us now. Jp, thanks for doing this, sir,
Speaker 1: you're becoming a regular. How are you very good?
Speaker 10: I haven't spoken for a while, actually, I think it's
Speaker 10: the first of the new year, so good.
Speaker 3: Good you guys.
Speaker 1: Well this just in. You're gonna join us next week too,
Speaker 1: I understand, so get ready to get ready for that. Hey, JP,
Speaker 1: we got a taste yesterday. People are pretty excited in Vancouver.
Speaker 1: What do you think that can extra getting in your client?
Speaker 10: Philip Heedl, Well, I'm you know, I really like his game,
Speaker 10: Like we've all our whole group is kind of waiting
Speaker 10: for him to to really take it to another level.
Speaker 10: He can skate, he's really smart player, and he's a
Speaker 10: great teammate. I think he's going to be a good fit.
Speaker 10: So it was a I think it's a good fit
Speaker 10: and we're kind of excited to see how it's going
Speaker 10: to develop.
Speaker 1: He looked like it yesterday. Is he a top six forward?
Speaker 10: I think we always thought so I mean he was
Speaker 10: pushing like he was pushing for that in New York.
Speaker 10: I think he was there for long periods of time.
Speaker 10: He was actually right there on the second line. So
Speaker 10: I think he definitely can be a top six player
Speaker 10: in this league. He's he's worked hard to get there.
Speaker 1: JP. Going back to Friday, what was his reaction to
Speaker 1: the move to Vancouver?
Speaker 10: You know, the nothing gets out of Vancouver, so he
Speaker 10: heard his name, He heard his name for a while,
Speaker 10: so I don't think there was any shock.
Speaker 5: Hey, JP, talking about Miller and Peterson right now? If
Speaker 5: you'd got you know, it was very public, JP, A
Speaker 5: were you prized it gut public? And what were your
Speaker 5: thoughts on on all that stuff that took place.
Speaker 10: I think a lot of us had hoped that it
Speaker 10: would settle down. It has been going on for way
Speaker 10: too long. It's I can't remember a time when you
Speaker 10: know there was that much difficulty, but it it look
Speaker 10: I went on too long, and I'm hoping not to
Speaker 10: talk about it anymore.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but well you but it was it really bad, JP,
Speaker 5: Because a lot of people said this lingered from the
Speaker 5: Travis Green days.
Speaker 1: Why didn't the management fix this? GP?
Speaker 10: I think they tried, and I think, you know, based
Speaker 10: on history, these things usually have find a way of
Speaker 10: settling themselves, and in this case, it just it didn't.
Speaker 10: I guess, you know, I mean, two different personalities. I
Speaker 10: don't like, I don't know all the blow by blow,
Speaker 10: but it just seemed like there was tension. And I mean,
Speaker 10: obviously the GM had to take it, take it into
Speaker 10: his own hands, but it it did take a long time.
Speaker 1: What about Patterson, He got the new contract.
Speaker 5: The numbers aren't there right now, JP, but he's working
Speaker 5: hard to get back to you know, the one hundred
Speaker 5: point player.
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about his play in the last
Speaker 1: little while.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean things didn't get off to a good
Speaker 10: start this year for the reason you talked about and
Speaker 10: probably some others. So he's just got to get focused
Speaker 10: and bear down. And I know he wanted to stay
Speaker 10: and I think this is going to give him a
Speaker 10: lot of motivation to get back to the level where
Speaker 10: he wants to be. And I mean, as soon as
Speaker 10: Quinn's back there, I think you know, we'll see some
Speaker 10: hopefully some more chemistry on the power play.
Speaker 5: Speaking of Quinn, first of all, JP, all World Player, like,
Speaker 5: not only are they talking Norris.
Speaker 1: They're talking heart for Quinn.
Speaker 5: Hughes talk about his season and it's just been a
Speaker 5: season for the Ages.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Quinn just seems to get better and better. I
Speaker 10: think he you know, it's his intelligence and the way
Speaker 10: he sees the game. He sees it at a different
Speaker 10: pace than everyone else, and you combine that with his
Speaker 10: skills and how comfortable he is on the blue line,
Speaker 10: kind of being the quarterback of a power play or pressure.
Speaker 10: He just yeah, it's all about Uh. He's a very
Speaker 10: cerebral player and he's in he's really hitting new heights.
Speaker 10: I'm really we're all really excited for him. He's he's
Speaker 10: it's really great to see.
Speaker 5: Okay, JP, A lot of people in this city worried
Speaker 5: he's gonna bolt town to go play with his brothers
Speaker 5: in New Jersey in two years.
Speaker 1: Should people be concerned? JP?
Speaker 10: No, I No, I don't. I think I think people
Speaker 10: should settle down and it's a long way away and
Speaker 10: let him play like he's he you know, he loves
Speaker 10: being in Kanuck. He's he's been given every role and
Speaker 10: he's happy. So like, let's just get this team going
Speaker 10: strong and that'll take care of itself.
Speaker 1: JP's he having trouble staying positive this season.
Speaker 10: Quinn, Yeah, I think, I mean, I mean, he's hasn't
Speaker 10: affected his play, but I think he wants, you know,
Speaker 10: he wants the team to have results more than himself personally.
Speaker 10: And you know, if if your room's not right, then
Speaker 10: it affects everyone, including the leadership. So he you know,
Speaker 10: he I think this this whole thing, could you know,
Speaker 10: go to another level here for him and he'll feel
Speaker 10: more comfortable with the room and we can just move forward.
Speaker 10: So I look for a really good finish JP.
Speaker 1: We see the large brace on Quinn's hand. We know
Speaker 1: he missed the game on Sunday after suffering a lower
Speaker 1: body injury in Dallas. What can you tell us about
Speaker 1: his health?
Speaker 10: Just bump some bruises. He's working through it. It's nothing,
Speaker 10: nothing serious. He's just got you know, it's just the
Speaker 10: rigors of a hard season and he just wants to play,
Speaker 10: and he plays a lot of minutes and he's you know,
Speaker 10: he's a target for people. So he's gonna have to
Speaker 10: play through those things and the odd day will be
Speaker 10: arrested like he had here, and I think it'll help him.
Speaker 10: He'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Okay, So one of the stories going around in vancouver's
Speaker 1: speculation and believe it or not, here in Vancouver once
Speaker 1: in a while, the media and the fans speculate JP.
Speaker 1: But with that, with that risk, any chance he takes
Speaker 1: a pass in the Four Nations.
Speaker 10: No, I don't see that. I think he wants to
Speaker 10: go and I think he's I think it's just bumped
Speaker 10: some bruises. It's nothing serious, and he wants to be
Speaker 10: ready and he wants to play at that level. And
Speaker 10: you know it's important to him, it's important to the game,
Speaker 10: and I don't think it's going to affect the team
Speaker 10: at all.
Speaker 1: Okay, moving on to another subject. This just we will.
Speaker 1: We found out about it a week or two ago.
Speaker 1: But life is really good for all National Hockey League agents.
Speaker 1: Is it going to get better now that the cap
Speaker 1: is going up?
Speaker 10: We can get rid of this tariff thing that that's
Speaker 10: about the only cloud that we have in front of
Speaker 10: us right now, I guess as a country. But you
Speaker 10: know that does you know that can affect everything because
Speaker 10: the economy is so important. But the projections look really good,
Speaker 10: and I think you know the projections we saw, they
Speaker 10: are projections. It's the first time. We've done it for
Speaker 10: three years, which is great for planning. And I think
Speaker 10: they're on the low side because generally projections, you know,
Speaker 10: they're going to have built in conservative numbers. So if
Speaker 10: the growth that we're seeing is good, these numbers could
Speaker 10: be even higher as long as, you know, as long
Speaker 10: as the economy and our Canadian dollar, which is a
Speaker 10: big part of that. So but in the long term
Speaker 10: it looks great. I mean, we have some short term
Speaker 10: clouds to get through, but the long term this is
Speaker 10: really good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, JP, you took the words out of my mouth,
Speaker 1: but I'll continue that conversation. Can Canadian teams keep up
Speaker 1: with the cap increase?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I mean some of the Canadian teams
Speaker 10: are the strongest teams. I mean there's other teams that
Speaker 10: it hurts, like, you know, it's not good when the
Speaker 10: Canadian dollar is low for Winnipeg or you know, some
Speaker 10: of the other franchises obviously, but no, I mean the
Speaker 10: growth revenue growth has been good in Canada also, and
Speaker 10: I just you know, like I said, I hope our
Speaker 10: economy can can stay with the United States because that's
Speaker 10: going to help everybody.
Speaker 5: JP Peterson's percentage of the Canucks cap is pretty high.
Speaker 5: I don't even want to imagine what Quinn Hughes percentage
Speaker 5: of the cap could be when he resigns with the Canucks.
Speaker 5: Talk a little bit about that thing where you guys
Speaker 5: love the fact top players get a big percentage of
Speaker 5: the cap on certain teams.
Speaker 10: I'm sure you're gonna be talking about it quite a
Speaker 10: bit for the next Yeah, I mean it's not just him,
Speaker 10: I mean the you know, the numbers with these projections,
Speaker 10: the players who are at the top of the league
Speaker 10: and their contracts are expiring are going to benefit from
Speaker 10: some extra cap room. But at the same time, you know,
Speaker 10: teams have to put a whole you know, the dynamics
Speaker 10: of hockey or such that you can't win with one player,
Speaker 10: so that balance is you know, we saw that in
Speaker 10: Colorado they decided that, you know, the number was too high,
Speaker 10: so we may have we may have just seen that
Speaker 10: in in Dallas with Luka Doncik. They didn't want to
Speaker 10: do a SuperMac. So these are these are things that
Speaker 10: you know, but if the players critical and important, then
Speaker 10: teams are not going to have to find a way
Speaker 10: and the players that want to stay will will figure
Speaker 10: out their number. That's good for them in the team.
Speaker 1: People don't know this, but we had a few technical
Speaker 1: difficulties getting you on the air today and you were
Speaker 1: a very patient JP. We can't thank you and often,
Speaker 1: like I said, we'll get you on soon. Thank you, guys, Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you JP, JP Berry c A a sports among
Speaker 1: his client's Philip heto. We didn't talk about Tyler Myers,
Speaker 1: but CAA also representing Quinn Hughes and Lias Peterson. Number forty.
Speaker 5: Really good insight to Quinn Hughes happiness Vancouver's contracts far away,
Speaker 5: He's not thinking of bolting to go play with his
Speaker 5: brothers and his health for nations. Good questions and we
Speaker 5: got some good information from GP.

Speaker 1: email advertise at Checkmedia dot CA. JUSTA had a Big
Speaker 1: Ride the Twitter Guy Delaney's okay, Tyron Linley inbox. As
Speaker 1: you'd expect, it's on fire this morning. After the weekend
Speaker 1: for the Vancouver Canucks, a couple of games, a couple
Speaker 1: of big trades, Jay and Chilliwac and early is it
Speaker 1: just me or as PD the last forward to go
Speaker 1: and to end in his debut. Someone recently on and
Speaker 1: it wasn't his debut, which was against Calgary and he
Speaker 1: put up multiple points in that game, but somebody recently
Speaker 1: on on Twitter, I believe it was at Rogers Arena, uh,
Speaker 1: put up a video of Petterson going Elias Petterson EP
Speaker 1: forty going and to end against Columbus. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you saw that, Ryan, but it was pretty impressive
Speaker 1: and something we haven't seen for a long long time.
Speaker 1: So I'm maybe I stand corrected.
Speaker 8: The Yeah, that video was making the rounds the other day. Well,
Speaker 8: that play in against Calgary was interesting. Remember he came
Speaker 8: down the side and ripped that thing home like that
Speaker 8: was a That was a pretty good burst, especially for
Speaker 8: a hyped debut.
Speaker 1: That was doing it. And I can't remember PD doing
Speaker 1: this even then doing it from his own end yesterday
Speaker 1: coach Yeah, yeah, which I mean again, I I stand
Speaker 1: to be corrected as always, but I don't remember a
Speaker 1: lot of forwards doing that recently.
Speaker 8: The other clip going around over the weekend ahead of
Speaker 8: the Leafs game here on Saturday night is uh, Millard
Speaker 8: and Peterson connected on a pretty nice play in Roger's
Speaker 8: Arena two seasons ago against the Leafs. Great, and then
Speaker 8: they were hugging after.
Speaker 1: And what's gonna happen? You know? But like any so,
Speaker 1: our relationship may have turned sour, but you you know,
Speaker 1: earlier on things were just fine. We've all been through
Speaker 1: relationships like that, hockey or otherwise.
Speaker 8: I said this to you before the show. There was
Speaker 8: a lot of this weekend poof everyone just made it
Speaker 8: out to be like man, Miller was just so amazing
Speaker 8: the percent of his time here in Vancouver. Can't I
Speaker 8: can't believe this trade happened.
Speaker 5: Come on, so hold hold a second. Are you talking
Speaker 5: about the Canucks traded a fourth liner? No, but what
Speaker 5: have we been doing the last few months?
Speaker 1: For seven years? Right?
Speaker 5: Over eight million players don't get seven times eight because
Speaker 5: they're lousy.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 8: But the way some people were making the trade to
Speaker 8: be it was like Miller got traded after two bad
Speaker 8: games Like this is months and months this season of
Speaker 8: him not looking all that interested to be Vancouver Kannuck.
Speaker 8: I'm like a lot of guys.
Speaker 1: Production down another center this like that as well. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you did well.
Speaker 8: Okay, do you get from Petterson though that he doesn't
Speaker 8: want to be a Vancouver Canuck and he hasn't lived
Speaker 8: up to this contract. But I'm not saying I don't
Speaker 8: think you've seen that he doesn't want to be a
Speaker 8: Vancouver Canuck. That's two different things.
Speaker 1: But do you disagree with me that Miller may have
Speaker 1: been on his way to the Ring of Honor. I
Speaker 1: think time and points.
Speaker 8: I think we got to see I mean.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna see. No, No, we would have had to.
Speaker 5: Donny saying if he didn't get traded, would he have
Speaker 5: got in there? Yeah, I mean I would have needed
Speaker 5: to see. His points per game is only behind pamel Bury, absolutely,
Speaker 5: But I mean, okay, he went to two round what three,
Speaker 5: two four playoff wins?
Speaker 1: Marcus Naslin got his number retired, and I disagree with that,
Speaker 1: and I know you disagree with that. No, I disagreed
Speaker 1: with him getting up there before Palvil Berray, did I
Speaker 1: disagree period.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, I and I love the West Coast Express.
Speaker 8: That was my hate one playoff series win, but I
Speaker 8: mean number retired for I mean again, like no disrespect
Speaker 8: every time.
Speaker 1: I was the leading scorer in Cannuck's history at the
Speaker 1: time he went up to the to the raft.
Speaker 8: Sure, but that can't be the only thing because all
Speaker 8: those records are gonna get broken.
Speaker 1: It was strange because Mike Gillis was his former agent.
Speaker 1: Also Burreys for a former agent. The problem I had
Speaker 1: is that you're putting Marcus all due respect, You're a great,
Speaker 1: great hockey player before Palvvil, Bret Well, okay by this
Speaker 1: town like nobody. The only exception to that might be
Speaker 1: Philip Heel on Sunday. Yeah you were, but I'm not.
Speaker 1: You think I'm out to lunch with that one.
Speaker 8: There's a lot of people bringing up that cheech and
Speaker 8: Chong stuff and maybe you had yeah much. People bring
Speaker 8: this up though a lot, Donnie on the weekend. Much
Speaker 8: like Burray Miller's Eggit in Vancouver is a complicated one
Speaker 8: and that's what stood in the way of Burry getting
Speaker 8: his number retired. Don't forget that PR tour. Remember Pavel
Speaker 8: suddenly popped up in the city. Suddenly he's at Canuck place,
Speaker 8: Suddenly he's waving to the crowded and done that in forever, Right,
Speaker 8: there was a pig make amends, right, and then it happened. Right,
Speaker 8: it's look at Miller. I mean, it's a it's a
Speaker 8: complicated exit. He's out people, you.
Speaker 1: Know, I know, I know. I said he was on
Speaker 1: his way. You're allowed to have one off season.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and don't underestimate it might not have been Miller.
Speaker 5: The Canucks were close with Carolina and Peterson. He could
Speaker 5: have went the other way, right. I don't think Alvin
Speaker 5: made it sound like it was.
Speaker 1: It was Miller first and foremost.
Speaker 5: Okay, that is true, but boy, they were close with Carolina.
Speaker 5: When the Carolina offered that what's his name neckish not
Speaker 5: just anyways, Uh, that thing was closed. So don't at
Speaker 5: what point that the Friday when they almost they went
Speaker 5: to Colorado, but they talked to Vancouver and they were
Speaker 5: getting their boy.
Speaker 1: And don't kid yourself. Doesn't that interest in Petterson go
Speaker 1: way back with Carolina? Yeah, till year back? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I don't know if pet Peterson's out of
Speaker 5: the woods, like I mean, I'm wondering if I.
Speaker 8: Don't think anybody can sit here today and say one
Speaker 8: hundred percent of least Petterson's Vancouver are opening night next year.
Speaker 1: Or brought best.
Speaker 8: Well, but but Peterson is for different reason. Petterson's a
Speaker 8: bigger Yeah.
Speaker 5: But but but Pederson's no trade kicks in July first, right,
Speaker 5: if they're gonna do it, it's got to be done
Speaker 5: before that.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, you say that, but then Miller waved his
Speaker 1: no trade claws. That's true.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but again though, it got to a point that
Speaker 8: Miller wanted out right, like, I don't think that that's
Speaker 8: not happening with Peterson here. He's Look, there was a
Speaker 8: report from Elliott, right, he's toal management. He wants to stay.

Speaker 1: Joining us down from Hockey Night in Canada and the
Speaker 1: thirty two Thoughts podcast. Elliott Friedman, Elliott, thanks for doing
Speaker 1: this sir, How are you?
Speaker 3: How are you guys doing today?
Speaker 1: Lovely?
Speaker 3: That was a good interview with JP by the way,
Speaker 3: really good tuned in. Thank you, Thank you here tuned in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, our viewership is up. We appreciate that, all right,
Speaker 1: Philip he and old Marcus Patterson, etcetera. No more J T.
Speaker 1: Miller Elliott or or the connection improved hockey Club.
Speaker 3: In your opinion, I think the D is is definitely better.
Speaker 3: I mean, look like everybody knew that the d was
Speaker 3: was a concern. I think it it hadn't been as
Speaker 3: good as they'd hoped. And now all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: you've got Hughes, even though he's banged up. You've got Ronick,
Speaker 3: You've got Marcus Patterson is your third d is pretty good.
Speaker 3: And I think Mancini is gonna play. I don't know
Speaker 3: what their plans are. I don't know how it's all
Speaker 3: gonna work out, but I think he is going to
Speaker 3: play for the Canucks and hopefully for a long time.
Speaker 3: And you know, I think there's a lot of optimism
Speaker 3: that they're going to be able to get something done
Speaker 3: with Marcus Patterson and potentially Drew O'Connor. So I think
Speaker 3: the number one thing I look at is that the
Speaker 3: defense as a whole looks a lot better today than
Speaker 3: it did last week. And I think that's a victory
Speaker 3: for Vancouver, Elliott.
Speaker 1: I thought Philip Heatle looked very, very impressive in his
Speaker 1: debut with the Canucks. I don't know how much you
Speaker 1: want it, but what do you think?
Speaker 3: I thought so too. You know what's interesting is like
Speaker 3: and you're kind of seeing it if you watch Miller
Speaker 3: at all in the two games on the week, and
Speaker 3: he looked rejuvenated. But I think that also goes for
Speaker 3: the players who come from other teams. Right, it had
Speaker 3: been a tough, tough slog at times with Heatl there
Speaker 3: in New York. It wasn't that they didn't like him,
Speaker 3: but I just think that, you know, the fact that
Speaker 3: he was in and out of the lineup, I think
Speaker 3: they began to worry could they really depend on him?
Speaker 3: And you know, he he's had some interesting quotes this
Speaker 3: year because in the past, we know he's had concussion issues,
Speaker 3: but he said what happened this year? It's not that simple,
Speaker 3: although he hasn't provided clarity. But when you watch Cocko
Speaker 3: in Seattle, he got there and it was just different.
Speaker 3: It's been a great fit for him and you could
Speaker 3: see last night he was really energized for a fresh start,
Speaker 3: a new chance. You know, like I thought, the Canucks
Speaker 3: looked faster, I really did. I thought they looked quicker.
Speaker 3: I thought they lived, moved the puck really well. It's
Speaker 3: only one game. I don't want to draw any huge
Speaker 3: conclusions from it. But the thing that really out for
Speaker 3: me was that the guys who got to Vancouver last night,
Speaker 3: they were really excited to play. And as you guys know,
Speaker 3: this year, it hasn't been an easy year in Vancouver.
Speaker 3: The team hasn't always looked very energetic last time. I
Speaker 3: thought that last night, even though they lost, I thought
Speaker 3: they looked really energetic.
Speaker 5: Elliott, So two big trades by the connection over the weekend.
Speaker 5: Are they done now? You know, the trade deadlines not
Speaker 5: far away. Are they done?
Speaker 1: What do you expect now?
Speaker 3: I think they kind of want to see how this
Speaker 3: looks Rick. You know, I'm not the only one who
Speaker 3: reported it, but it sounds like they've dialed they're dialing
Speaker 3: back things on Petterson. Now at the very least they
Speaker 3: know what Peterson's market is, but I think they're going
Speaker 3: to dial it back. I think they want him to
Speaker 3: just see how this goes, see how he reacts to everything,
Speaker 3: how things play all over the next little while. To
Speaker 3: be honest, with Peterson, they haven't until July first to
Speaker 3: make a decision. Is everybody knows. On July first, that's
Speaker 3: when the control shifts to him. So whether the Canucks
Speaker 3: do it now or later, they ultimately have time before
Speaker 3: they have to decide what path they want to go
Speaker 3: down here. But I think they really want to see
Speaker 3: like they've got work to do this week. I think
Speaker 3: they're gonna I think they're really going to try to
Speaker 3: get Peterson done. I think they're going to try to
Speaker 3: get O'Connor done, and we'll see what it all looks
Speaker 3: like from there. But I wouldn't be surprised if they start,
Speaker 3: especially the Petterson negotiations, pretty quickly.
Speaker 5: The other one I was going to ask you about
Speaker 5: is we haven't talked about it is Brock Besser. What's
Speaker 5: going on there? Alvin said they got no common ground.
Speaker 5: You and I have been in this business long enough
Speaker 5: to know that when a GM says there's no common ground,
Speaker 5: that's his way of saying they're far apark.
Speaker 1: What's going on with Besser?
Speaker 3: You know, I think you know as I have no
Speaker 3: reason to do anything but take Alvin at his word
Speaker 3: on this one, and ultimately that leads the choice with
Speaker 3: the Canucks, like how do they want to seed? Do
Speaker 3: they want to keep them and give it a run,
Speaker 3: or do they want to move them and see what happens.
Speaker 3: And I think right now, it's like they've been focused
Speaker 3: so much on Miller. I think it took all the
Speaker 3: oxygen kind of out of the front office of the organization,
Speaker 3: and now they can start to take a look at
Speaker 3: what they want to do with Besser A and they
Speaker 3: find common ground or B do they want to.
Speaker 1: Make a move.
Speaker 3: And it was you who reminded everybody last week that
Speaker 3: he's got a partial no trade, so he's got thumb
Speaker 3: control over this. You know, the one thing about Besser
Speaker 3: is Rick because he's not playing in the Four Nations.
Speaker 3: Like if you look at a lot of the trades
Speaker 3: that have happened in the last few weeks, you know, Rantnan, Miller, Grandland,
Speaker 3: these were all guys who were playing in the four Nations, right,
Speaker 3: And I think teams, if they had a guy they
Speaker 3: were thinking of moving who was playing in this tournament,
Speaker 3: they wanted to do it. Now they don't have to
Speaker 3: rush with Besser since he's not playing with them, So
Speaker 3: again I think they let this play out a little
Speaker 3: bit until they get something they absolutely want. I think
Speaker 3: the other thing, too, is is that Vancouver. You know,
Speaker 3: there were rumors on Saturday and Sunday that they were
Speaker 3: thinking of moving the first round pick they capt to.
Speaker 3: I've looked into that. I think the Canucks have kind
Speaker 3: of indicated that since they're not guaranteed to be a
Speaker 3: playoff team a little they'd like to get there. They
Speaker 3: have to be really careful with that pick. So I
Speaker 3: think the Canucks still have time to figure out where
Speaker 3: they think they are here, how good they are, how
Speaker 3: this team adapts to the new players before I expect
Speaker 3: those decisions to be made. Now watch, I'll say that
Speaker 3: in two minutes presser, I'll get traded, and.
Speaker 1: That look like an idiot.
Speaker 3: But I think they I think they really want to
Speaker 3: see how this all works.
Speaker 5: Elliott, there was so much noise in Vancouver, like it
Speaker 5: just it was out of this world. You think it's
Speaker 5: going to simmer down now, Like, I mean, is it
Speaker 5: gonna do?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it simmers down for a
Speaker 3: little bit. I mean, you know, I mean, as as
Speaker 3: Alvin said, Miller didn't specifically ask for a trade, but
Speaker 3: everybody knew that was the best option, right. It was
Speaker 3: pretty clear that they had to do it. So now
Speaker 3: like like there now it dials everything back, like the
Speaker 3: number one thing you had to do is done, so
Speaker 3: you have time now to sort everything else out. And
Speaker 3: I think that's what they'd like to do. I just
Speaker 3: think they really want to let their team breathe, like
Speaker 3: they have lots of moving parts here. You mentioned Besser,
Speaker 3: you know there's there's also lancat in right, who's been
Speaker 3: a huge factor for your team this year. You've got
Speaker 3: to sort that out. You've got to see if you're
Speaker 3: going to be able to sign Peterson O'Connor, and again
Speaker 3: it sounds like there's some optimism both of those will
Speaker 3: be able to happen. I just think they want to
Speaker 3: do some business a bit quietly, and I think they
Speaker 3: all also want to do They want to see how
Speaker 3: the A team reacts to these trades, how much like
Speaker 3: they look good last night even though they lost, And
Speaker 3: I just think they want to see how it all develops.
Speaker 1: Elliott I don't know how much he can tell us
Speaker 1: about the happenings of November seventeenth, The Nashville game, Miller
Speaker 1: getting benched and then the ten game leave of absence
Speaker 1: after that. But you mentioned, you know, would this team
Speaker 1: be able to will this team be able to breathe?
Speaker 1: Now that J. T. Miller is gone? Would it be
Speaker 1: able to breathe if he stayed and Peterson was the
Speaker 1: one who got traded.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, there's been a lot of rumors about
Speaker 3: that game, and I've heard different things, like I've heard like,
Speaker 3: I've heard different things, and the thing is, like, there's
Speaker 3: some things that I know happened, Like I know there
Speaker 3: was a conversation between a small group of players in
Speaker 3: Florida early in the year. I know that when Miller
Speaker 3: came back from his leave, there was hope things would
Speaker 3: change for everybody for the better, and that didn't happen.
Speaker 3: Like one of the things I haven't been able to
Speaker 3: confirm is exactly like what happened that day. I've heard
Speaker 3: different versions and nobody said yes, So you know, I'm
Speaker 3: not going to guess. I don't think that's the right
Speaker 3: thing to do. I think it became pretty clear to
Speaker 3: me that, as Alvin said, I think Alvin nailed it
Speaker 3: on Saturday night when he spoke to the Vancouver Reporters
Speaker 3: and laterter On. It's that it was just decided between
Speaker 3: the team and the player and his representatives that it
Speaker 3: was his time. And I think everybody at the end
Speaker 3: of the day just figured, you know what, this is
Speaker 3: the best thing to do, the best way to try
Speaker 3: to create a sense of normalcy around everyone and do
Speaker 3: the best thing for everyone. Was that Miller goes and
Speaker 3: that's that's why we are where we are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you said it. I said it, Rick said it.
Speaker 1: They look good yesterday Quinn Hughes wasn't playing. Yeah, best player.
Speaker 1: It was on there so people can talk. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: you go. All right, Elliott a couple of weeks, we'll
Speaker 1: talk to you. A lot of fun, all right, guys,
Speaker 1: all right, have a great week.
Speaker 3: Okay, guys, take care.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, Elliott, Free and Canada thirty two Thoughts podcast.
Speaker 1: A lot of people talking about Brock Besser and the
Speaker 1: Delaney's Okay tire in Langley inbox I I and again
Speaker 1: he's scheduled to become a UFA when it comes to
Speaker 1: that line Debrasque, Petterson and Besser, which has been the
Speaker 1: case the last couple of games. I think best has
Speaker 1: been the best of the three of them. And I
Speaker 1: don't think Brock Besser gets Is he the fastest skater,
Speaker 1: not a chance, but his work along the boards and
Speaker 1: is his hustle relatively speaking, he's.
Speaker 5: The best best of those three players right now. He's
Speaker 5: a goalscoring winger. They don't grow on trees. And he's
Speaker 5: the tenth all time goal scoring the history of the
Speaker 5: Mancure connection on you after nine years, and he is
Speaker 5: on the verge of possibly leaving the city because the
Speaker 5: decision on Besser has got to be made here pretty
Speaker 5: darn quick.
Speaker 1: Not close. Work to do well. The they keep using
Speaker 1: toss word about it. They're evaluating him, which.
Speaker 5: Is a weird word just sitting around for a while.
Speaker 5: Just say you're negotiating with the agent. Well what are
Speaker 5: you evaluating your talking contract with the agent?
Speaker 1: You either get it done or you don't. Don't. We'll

Speaker 1: sit and stay at the Wattling Dog. Today, Ryan got
Speaker 1: her up the Wadling Dog. Pop pop question.
Speaker 5: Has your opinion of Friday's trades by the Canucks change
Speaker 5: for the better after last night's game? This one's close,
Speaker 5: it's down the middle. Fifty seven percent say yes and
Speaker 5: forty four percent say no. Thirteen hundred votes aready. It's hopping,
Speaker 5: it's popping, it's not stopping.
Speaker 1: I just assumed when the trades were consummated Friday, that
Speaker 1: we would do Monday Show, Today's show and just rip
Speaker 1: into the Canucks. Yeah, because let's be honest here there
Speaker 1: giving up on the one of the most recently the
Speaker 1: best players in Kanoshs recent history, in JT. Miller, under
Speaker 1: really unusual, unfortunate circum stances. And to be honest, not
Speaker 1: many of us in this market knew a whole lot
Speaker 1: about the players the Canucks were getting. Some people did,
Speaker 1: we're not smart enough to know enough about those guys,
Speaker 1: at least before they got here to Vancouver. I thought
Speaker 1: Philip heat was just I'll recap what I said in
Speaker 1: the first segment. I thought he was fabulous. I thought
Speaker 1: it was a debut worthy of some comparison to November fifth,
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, and what pav I know you laughing
Speaker 1: at me, but palvil Burray was up to and if
Speaker 1: you want to roll the highlights, here darre to the highlights.
Speaker 1: But they the Philip heatl real worthy of comparison to
Speaker 1: what palvil Burray was up to on that date. And
Speaker 1: to Anne Rushes, when's the last time we seen a
Speaker 1: guy a forward on the Canducks when he used does this?
Speaker 1: But a forward on the Canucks moved like this, moving
Speaker 1: his feet, head up, causing problems for the opposition, creating
Speaker 1: chances coast to coast, and then he scores to go.
Speaker 5: I thought it was just and let's give the coaching
Speaker 5: staff some credit here too. A Garland and worked really
Speaker 5: well with them. Yeah, you know, because.
Speaker 1: It's about time those two got reunited.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they got reunited. They used to have a suit
Speaker 5: of blueger story and look at this.
Speaker 1: Look at this. Oh yeah, you know what. It's not
Speaker 1: Bury though, but it's uh it's up there. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: maybe a bit of an exaggerate And now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stick with that. That was as good of a debut
Speaker 1: by a Ford as I've seen since then, Right what
Speaker 1: I said, like I've been around for a long time.
Speaker 1: I was in the building that night November.
Speaker 5: I was listening to the Burrey game on the radio,
Speaker 5: my walkman Jim Robson, and uh, I felt only Jim
Speaker 5: can make you feel like felt it through the radio's
Speaker 5: first game.
Speaker 1: I just thought it was very, very impressive, And maybe
Speaker 1: it was a lot of it was because my expectations
Speaker 1: were low for for heatl that for Hetel, for the
Speaker 1: every and Peterson looked just fine. O'Connor. Those guys are
Speaker 1: big guys. They're all six two or taller. They're all
Speaker 1: bigler speed there. It looked good. And look, we take
Speaker 1: our shots at the Kanucks. You know, it's not all
Speaker 1: wine and roses like other sports shows in this town,
Speaker 1: other broadcasting, you know, we usually I thought it was
Speaker 1: really well done. Hey, the other thing from last night
Speaker 1: scam that we haven't touched on yet. We are surprised
Speaker 1: by Carson Sussie being scratched and his place being taken
Speaker 1: by and I'm going to use it EPD number twenty
Speaker 1: five and your lucky number program.
Speaker 5: At least Patterson the defenseman. Yeah, Susie, So I'm not surprised.
Speaker 5: He's been struggling for about a week and a half, Donny,
Speaker 5: and he got healthy scratched. It's always a surprise when
Speaker 5: you healthy scratch a three point two million dollar defenseman veteran.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Susie's in.
Speaker 5: Trouble here, like because Marcus Patterson, who just came in,
Speaker 5: just took a spot. Ye're lefty is a lefty on
Speaker 5: the SEC. So basically now Susie has been relegated to
Speaker 5: the third pair. Dot that's a lot to pay a
Speaker 5: third pair defenseman, three point two million dollars. But anyways,
Speaker 5: that's something the Knucks will sort out. But you know what,
Speaker 5: he's got to get back in the lineup. Talkeet said
Speaker 5: last night, he's got to play better. So bottom line,
Speaker 5: get back in there and do what you do, what
Speaker 5: you did for the Canucks to sign you in the
Speaker 5: first place.
Speaker 1: So, but didn't you find it really interesting that it
Speaker 1: was his place was taken by Elias Petterson right with
Speaker 1: Hughes out of the line. If you just assumed you'd
Speaker 1: have you'd want on that left side more of a
Speaker 1: vet from presence. But he looked good. Yeah, and he
Speaker 1: got his first NHL point. He looked just f And
Speaker 1: you know what, it's great. And I with all due
Speaker 1: respect to Carson SUSI, this is what organizations want. You
Speaker 1: want push from within, right, competition from within. Nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 5: The Caducks know they got something with the young Petterson.
Speaker 5: Defenseman Tom Wilander is not far away. The Caducks are
Speaker 5: now starting to draft and develop and push players in
Speaker 5: the lineup other than Quinn Hughes. Every other defenseman was
Speaker 5: brought here, do a trade or July first, start developing
Speaker 5: him and drafting them.
Speaker 1: And they're doing that now. Okay, so Ryan, let's let's
Speaker 1: do this. If you don't mind, can we run the anthem?
Speaker 1: The American national anthem from yesterday's game, which was a
Speaker 1: celebration of black excellence. If we can do that right now,
Speaker 1: listen for the crowd reaction. Okay, I'm hoping I'm getting
Speaker 1: her name right, and I apologize to her and anybody
Speaker 1: else who knows her or related to her. But Agasha
Speaker 1: Muta Cecia, Yeah, I think I don't think I got
Speaker 1: it right. But I felt bad for her. I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's a time and a place for everything, and I
Speaker 1: get everybody's I get that everybody's upset. There's a young
Speaker 1: woman in a wheelchair, and I'm sorry. I just don't
Speaker 1: think it was the right you know, And I understand
Speaker 1: people are upset in Canada with the US right now.
Speaker 1: I'm just I think there's a time and a place,
Speaker 1: and I know this is going to be done for
Speaker 1: a while, long as these tariffs around. I'm just not
Speaker 1: so sure that was the right time to do it well.
Speaker 5: And this was made possible because Ottawa did it. The
Speaker 5: Senators did it well.
Speaker 1: The Raptors game. Yes, the Raptors in Ottawa, they did it. Know,
Speaker 1: the Raptors in Toronto against the Clippers.
Speaker 5: The Raptors in Ottawa No, No, Ottawa senators did it first,
Speaker 5: and then the Toronto raptors did it and that's why
Speaker 5: it came over to Vancouver.
Speaker 1: Understandable, but I think inexcusable. That's the way I felt.
Speaker 1: And by the way, she did a fabulous job under
Speaker 1: some really difficult circumstances. And they told her before that, Hey,
Speaker 1: just so you know this political situation is going on,
Speaker 1: you're not getting booed. The anthem is getting and I
Speaker 1: think they told I think she figured it out. It
Speaker 1: wasn't her.
Speaker 5: H But Donnie, I'm not gonna pretend to talk about
Speaker 5: this terriff stuff. I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 1: Well, why would you care? What doesn't Mattop you Ryan
Speaker 1: Derek south of the border. May you support that America
Speaker 1: making announcement and you probably won't continue to support of
Speaker 1: the American economy no matter what. I'm making an announcement
Speaker 1: right now. I refuse to go to bellis Fair. I
Speaker 1: refuse to buy American products. I refuse to go I
Speaker 1: have a buddy over the Alder Girl border. I gotta
Speaker 1: go see done once in a while. That guy.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go see. We have some Budwiser, buy some gas.
Speaker 5: No we have some Budweisers, but maybe now I'll take
Speaker 5: Canadian beer over and we'll have some Molson Canadians. But listen,
Speaker 5: no more Bellis Fair and no more American crap. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna stay with Canadian stuff, and Ryan worry you when
Speaker 5: it comes to tell them about cheese.
Speaker 8: God, yeah, I mean I got a lot of clumogs.
Speaker 1: I'm good for a while. Anyway, I'm done. I'm done.
Speaker 1: Bellis Fair ain't getting a penny out of me anymore.
Speaker 1: What about every other business down there? No, I'm not.
Speaker 5: I'm not going there for shopping until this tariff crap
Speaker 5: is over. That might be four years, doesn't matter, It
Speaker 5: doesn't matter. I will say, this whole thing is adding
Speaker 5: a little zip to the four nations. I think why
Speaker 5: I think the vible Canada Okay, I get it. Do
Speaker 5: you think the players care about a tariff? No, but
Speaker 5: that's a game. But can you imagine the atmosphere that
Speaker 5: game is in Montreal, by the way, the USA Canada.
Speaker 1: Game as part of the round robin. I think the
Speaker 1: people in the building will care and they'll be uh,
Speaker 1: it's for sure.
Speaker 5: For sure, they're playing best on best, and you think
Speaker 5: they care about tariffs, give me a broke in Rick.
Speaker 1: It's not so much about the players, about the atmosphere. Okay, fine,
Speaker 1: the atmosphere. You got some business, absolutely, I think you've
Speaker 1: got you gotta read for Bellis Fair. I'm not going there.
Speaker 1: I'll get my Hawaiian shirt somewhere on. I want to
Speaker 1: let me let me just say this to our audience.
Speaker 1: If you're going down to the Bellis Fair and maybe
Speaker 1: supporting that American economy in the near future, if you
Speaker 1: see this guy, my permission to take a shot of it.
Speaker 1: I'm not going.
Speaker 5: Hey, And when I go to Bellis Fair down, what
Speaker 5: do you think I see? I see five hundred BCY
Speaker 5: license plates in the parking lot. I'm not the only
Speaker 5: guy there, you know. And what about when the Americans
Speaker 5: come up and go to wister Don and they pump
Speaker 5: money into the Canadian economy.
Speaker 1: You seem to forget that. But it's okay, because I'm Canadian.
Speaker 5: You will not see me at Bell's Fair until the
Speaker 5: tariff stuff crap is over all.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 5: Looking for a gift for a sports fan, how about
Speaker 5: an addition to your man cave pastime sports a place
Speaker 5: to visit check out the largest election of Sports member
Speaker 5: Billy autographed items, trading cards and collectible games in Western Canada.
Speaker 5: Pastime in Langley two in store signings coming up February
Speaker 5: sixth Ryan, that's this week, Trevor Linden in store. Then
Speaker 5: on the sixteenth, Jonathan Lacaramaki details on these signings and
Speaker 5: upcoming signings, events and card drops available at Pastime.
Speaker 1: Sports Dots a laptop. This this works out so well.
Speaker 8: This card, well, first of all, we get the Linden
Speaker 8: sign rookie card, but the card over the day I
Speaker 8: chose is Pavel Burret because a lot of people were
Speaker 8: bringing out Burret and the statistic statistical closeness between him
Speaker 8: and him and JT.
Speaker 1: Miller like Canucks aren't.
Speaker 8: We did a graphic. It's kind of.
Speaker 1: Spooky second all time Miller behind Palvelo points points yeah.
Speaker 8: And well in almost games played. I think it's like
Speaker 8: almost dead onto all that stuff. But then also the
Speaker 8: other element to it is Taylor believes that Philip Cheto
Speaker 8: is uh by far the closest resemblance to Papa Bray
Speaker 8: the Vancouver Canucks have ever had after one game, so
Speaker 8: it works.
Speaker 1: On that level saying there is similarity.
Speaker 12: He's the reaction by you Tomorrow night, Ryan, So tomorrow
Speaker 12: night at the Canucks Colorado Heatle, you know, minus three
Speaker 12: six minutes Ice Taylor's gonna come in here on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: This is a disaster. Through is gonna go completely the other.
Speaker 1: You're failing to admit you're wrong about telebook cheese. It's
Speaker 1: just flip flopping left and right.
Speaker 5: With Burray, there was anticipation in the market. It was like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, he's coming, one two, He's gonna play,
Speaker 5: and the whole city was in No.
Speaker 8: I don't think the I.
Speaker 1: Don't think the whole city was excited about nothing. Couldn't
Speaker 1: even name that came last night. I can't tell you
Speaker 1: what to do a better job of pronouncing his name
Speaker 1: than Ryan did. What did you say?
Speaker 8: Is it Cheatah? I've heard some people say cheetle, it's
Speaker 8: heat all, it's heat all. We need a what's his
Speaker 8: nationality check yet check? We need a we need a
Speaker 8: we need a well researched on this, We need a
Speaker 8: pronunciation from that part of the world's I'm about taking
Speaker 8: it from you.
Speaker 1: Whatever you say. If his second game doesn't go well,
Speaker 1: the comparisons and the knives from you will be out
Speaker 1: you know how much does he make, You'll be calling
Speaker 1: him four point whatever it is, it is four point comparison.
Speaker 1: The comparison still holds true. It's about the debut. His
Speaker 1: debut was quite similar.
Speaker 8: You're glossing over that Pederson debut jokes aside. Seriously, I
Speaker 8: know how it's gone now. That night was a big night.
Speaker 8: That gonticipation like there was right.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of I'm looking at our Delaney's okay
Speaker 1: Tarring Langley inbox and a lot of people have forgotten
Speaker 1: about that debt.
Speaker 8: No doubt.
Speaker 5: I sleep over heel. I slept damn well on Saturday night.
Speaker 5: I didn't think, oh my god, I can't wait for
Speaker 5: heatle with a game.
Speaker 1: You're going. You're going the next day to hang out
Speaker 1: with your buddy and at Budweisers across the border.
Speaker 8: By the way, a lot of people are saying, that's
Speaker 8: a very sketchy situation.
Speaker 5: Whatever this buddy I meet, I got it now and
Speaker 5: then I got a buddy over the Aldig border.
Speaker 1: This sounds real sketch. So I can't have whatnny guys do.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? He owns a farm. I
Speaker 1: gold there.
Speaker 5: We have some ears on the farm. Second, hold in
Speaker 5: a second? Is there a bar involved so I can't
Speaker 5: have a buddy? And over the Aldergro border. This is

Speaker 1: get this. One of the first quarterbacks I remember being
Speaker 1: a scrambler. Played eighteen NFL seasons, including two stints with
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Also played for the Giants. He warre number
Speaker 1: ten in the early eighties. Friend yes ran, Yeah, he
Speaker 1: co hosted. That's incredible. Remember that he was the co host.
Speaker 1: It was a great show. You don't remember that show.
Speaker 1: No people remember that show. I don't know if he does.
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5: He was in the eighties. It was a great show. Ryan,
Speaker 5: that's my wheelhouse. The eighties best decade.
Speaker 1: Except when it comes to Tiger Williams. Okay, stop bad
Speaker 1: clues on Tiger, but bad clues Nhow's all time leader
Speaker 1: penlaments okay, go on, Okay, but you didn't see many
Speaker 1: scrambling quarterbacks way back when he was one of the first.
Speaker 1: Was outstanding quarterback out of Purdue, led the Dolphins to
Speaker 1: victory and Super Bowls seven and eight. The Dolphins have
Speaker 1: required Dolphins have retired is number twelve that reno Dolphins
Speaker 1: b G think of a movie with Olivia Newton, John
Speaker 1: and John Travold. Not the first name greasy, but his
Speaker 1: name starts with a B. Brian was greasy. He just
Speaker 1: that's what I said, Bob Greasy, seventy five year old actress.
Speaker 1: I think you had a crush on her back in
Speaker 1: the day. She played Jenna Wade in Dallas, Oh also
Speaker 1: also starred in Flamingo Road and Falcon Crest played Chandler
Speaker 1: Bing's mother. Okay, quick m F Morgan, fir chump. Wow,
Speaker 1: that that very impression. He was fabulous, good actor. You
Speaker 1: know you got to clip that. She was fabulous. That's
Speaker 1: an Ald timer. Dallas shot Jr. Great great episode, but
Speaker 1: was the they remember the person. I don't want to
Speaker 1: give the give it away. Anybody doesn't know that Jr.
Speaker 1: Was shot? And then they went away for the season, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Friday night, there's a song about it. Yeah, I know

Speaker 1: August eighty one of the album Street Songs. This is
Speaker 1: Rick James and super Freak on check the kind you
Speaker 1: don't take home to mother on a BC Monday morning?
Speaker 1: Is it just me? Next Donny Dollar the team on check.
Speaker 1: She's don't don't miss a second of Vancouver Giants hockey
Speaker 1: at the LAC this season.
Speaker 5: Watched the electrifying play of twenty twenty five draft eligible
Speaker 5: Cameron Schmid as he tears up the ice alongside NHL
Speaker 5: draft picks Connor Levis, Tyler Thorpe, and Colton Roberts.
Speaker 1: Season tickets are on sale for his low as seventeen
Speaker 1: dollars a game, or grab a flex pack available in
Speaker 1: six or twelve game packages for his low as twenty
Speaker 1: two bucks a game.
Speaker 5: Head the Vancouver Giants dot COM's last season tickets.
Speaker 1: And don't miss out. We're good rhyme?
Speaker 5: Is it just me?
Speaker 12: Rick?
Speaker 1: Lead us off? All right? As you say?
Speaker 5: So many rumors about JT, especially after the Nashville game
Speaker 5: when he was benched. I take all rumors with a
Speaker 5: green of salt, but I do believe where there's smoke,
Speaker 5: there's fire. It was time for JD to go.
Speaker 1: Rick and Richmond.
Speaker 5: Look, we do know Don like he took the leave
Speaker 5: two days after the Nashville game in which he was benched.
Speaker 5: There's a million rumors out there, folks, But I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1: Look's hair sound Come on? Well, what are you talking about? Don?
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna just throw stuff out for the hell
Speaker 5: of it. You gotta have proof, and you know, you
Speaker 5: know I if JT wants to announce what happened, he
Speaker 5: can announce it. But otherwise I'm not gonna throw a
Speaker 5: million things out there and nine hundred and ninety nine
Speaker 5: are not true.
Speaker 1: Well, like I say, the book will be a best
Speaker 1: seller in oh in Connuct Nation in line with that
Speaker 1: jeez from Surrey.
Speaker 5: Is it just me?
Speaker 1: But I hope Cat Jamie friend of the show, director
Speaker 1: of the Grizzly Truth documentary. She also did the Vancouver
Speaker 1: Riot documentary as well, does another one about the Miller
Speaker 1: and Peterson feud. One day.
Speaker 5: Everybody has confirmed it except Peterson and Miller.
Speaker 1: The only problem with that from a documentary point of view,
Speaker 1: when you talk about Kat doing a documentary on the
Speaker 1: Riot or about the Grizzly Truth, no shortage of visuals
Speaker 1: there you have. You wouldn't have that with Peterson versus
Speaker 1: Miller because some of it, so much of it was
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. Ryan, before we go any further, we
Speaker 1: want to give credit to somebody who's come up with
Speaker 1: a photoshop that we don't. Don't we're not showing it.
Speaker 1: I just want to say it may be the submission
Speaker 1: of the year. We were crying laughing, who isn't in
Speaker 1: the break, But we have to give him credit. We
Speaker 1: can't showtunately. I think it's Coquitlam. Ron. I think.
Speaker 5: Ron okay, sorry coquitlam Ron.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it might as of last night, we might
Speaker 1: get fired if we show it. But we just want
Speaker 1: to give him credit because like we have not laughed
Speaker 1: that hard. Uh is it just me? And this is
Speaker 1: unsigned as well? Uh, guys, is it just me? Guys?
Speaker 1: My mother is from Prague And here is the proper
Speaker 1: pronunciation of heatl. We got it there, Ryan, By any chance,
Speaker 1: that sounds like it sounds like there's a h there.
Speaker 8: It almost it sounds like cheeto.
Speaker 1: Yeah it does. We're saying, yeah, well, the guys in
Speaker 1: New York have been saying it for several years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the play by play guys were saying hetl last night.
Speaker 1: It actually means heatl actually means he caught. So maybe
Speaker 1: he should have been a goalie or receiver. Well, he
Speaker 1: plays hockey, So there's that. But little little education for
Speaker 1: the kids, including us, learn something new every day. No,
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, what how do we pronounce this? This is
Speaker 1: you know, those pronunciation guys are never wrong. What do
Speaker 1: you got? All? Right? Is it just me?
Speaker 12: Here?
Speaker 5: Did brock Besser looked like Danamerson in that two on
Speaker 5: one last night? Loved the guy, But we can't sign
Speaker 5: him long term.
Speaker 1: Brock and merit. You know, just when he shot wide.
Speaker 5: You know who liked Dana pat Quinn. You know he
Speaker 5: held people accountable in front of the net. If you're
Speaker 5: not a great skater in the NHL, you got to
Speaker 5: do two or three other things really well. And if
Speaker 5: he does, Yeah, I know, brock Besser is the tenth
Speaker 5: all time leading goal scorer in the history of the Canucks.
Speaker 5: If he's such an awful skater, why is he tenth
Speaker 5: all time in the Canucks? Because he's got great hockey
Speaker 5: since and he's got a great shot.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting to say that because Pat Quinn, most of
Speaker 1: the chagrin of a lot of Knuck fans, made Danamerson
Speaker 1: an assistant. Thank you. Brock Beser was wearing an A
Speaker 1: last night. That's right, he was right, And you mentioned
Speaker 1: what else he does. I think brock Besser not the
Speaker 1: greatest skater in the world, with all due respect, but
Speaker 1: I think his his passings that are redded so same
Speaker 1: with his battle skills, like he wins battles along the
Speaker 1: boards and you know, Donny, he's gonna get He was
Speaker 1: the best player on that line in the last two games.
Speaker 5: He's gonna get paid on his next deal, whether it's
Speaker 5: in Vancouver July. First for goals and that's he's He's
Speaker 5: a goal scoring winger, has been his entire.
Speaker 1: Career, Kevin and Qualcomb.
Speaker 11: Is it just me?
Speaker 1: I don't think booing at a Canucks game is cool? Yes,
Speaker 1: f America at this moment, but remember Quinn, Hughes and
Speaker 1: Garland and you know multiple out the Canucks are are American.
Speaker 1: I just didn't think it was the time and place yesterday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree?
Speaker 11: Is it just me?
Speaker 5: Or is comparing heatl to Burray like comparing Kabloops to Spain? Mike,
Speaker 5: Mike on a snow day? That's not that's a you,
Speaker 5: that's a you.
Speaker 1: Well, Mike on a snow day. I know, I know
Speaker 1: that that's an excellent submission, by the way, and I'll
Speaker 1: stand by both comparisons. Kamloops scenery wise, compares to anything
Speaker 1: in Spain. Have you seen the shots White Cavs. They
Speaker 1: bit a Ukrainey team mesterday, by the way, in a
Speaker 1: preseason game. But this is Caloups definitely right. Nobody on
Speaker 1: Earth that says Catloops is Spain are comparable. And I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right, now and Aunt Dan Rush Aunt Dan
Speaker 1: rushes By a forward we haven't seen for a long time,
Speaker 1: maybe not since November fifth, nineteen ninety one. And Palva
Speaker 1: Broy in terms of a Connock forward doing that sort
Speaker 1: of thing. I'll stand by both those.
Speaker 5: Go h Patterson looks miserable and apathetic. He's never shown
Speaker 5: any emotion his tire time Vancouver. He whins and gripes
Speaker 5: about every aspect of the franchise. Mitchell and Langley not happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, I you know some sums up the
Speaker 1: last year. That's for sure. You got paid though? Is
Speaker 1: it just me? Hey, Dawn unsigned as the door off
Speaker 1: was the last guy to bring us out of our
Speaker 1: seats with a rush or a hit. Very true, But
Speaker 1: what did I say? I'm talking about a forward here?
Speaker 1: He or cheetlet.
Speaker 5: I'm going to stick with Hetel. I'm going to stick
Speaker 5: with Hetel. I suggest the following nicknames for the three
Speaker 5: pds Overpaid PD, Pittsburgh PD and EPD Italian North Fan.
Speaker 1: Okay, overpaid PD? Right?
Speaker 5: Is it just me?
Speaker 1: From DJT? Is it just me? But we knew nothing
Speaker 1: about Palva Burray and at the time had never had
Speaker 1: a superstar. His first shift was unbelievable. The entire game
Speaker 1: energized the city. It was a two to two tie
Speaker 1: against the Winnipeg Jets, not televised, no goals, no assists,
Speaker 1: no points for Pavla Burray, but one a night. And
Speaker 1: dj T is right about the intrigue, like we really
Speaker 1: didn't know. There's such a big build up, you know.
Speaker 1: And then the other thing is the sense of this
Speaker 1: wasn't there last night, But there was a sense of
Speaker 1: disbelief in the crowd, Like I think the overwhelming emotion
Speaker 1: was disbelief, Like there's no way that guy plays with
Speaker 1: the vanchor for Conducks with Burret, I don't think people
Speaker 1: could believe it. There's no way he could possibly be
Speaker 1: a Canuck, all the problems they've had through the years.
Speaker 1: What a night. And I thought last night was special too,
Speaker 1: even though they lost without Quinn use though Okay, we're good,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll take a break. We'll wrap up the
Speaker 1: show of the poll question next Donny Dolly the team
Speaker 1: on check. The Wabbling Dog Pub has been owned and
Speaker 1: operated locally since nineteen ninety one and has since built
Speaker 1: its reputation as one of Victoria's favorite watering holes, with

Speaker 5: say yes and forty four percent say no. Fourteen hundred votes. Already,
Speaker 5: it's hopping. It's popping Cannucks.
Speaker 1: And we haven't talked much about who they're playing tomorrow,
Speaker 1: but a big test against Colorado, Oh big test. A
Speaker 1: couple more games San Jose and the Leafs and then
Speaker 1: and then a break for four nations. You got some pictures.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to the Big d not overseas, but
Speaker 1: the Big d Ryan. Get her up.
Speaker 5: Here we go there, we go, two of our favorites
Speaker 5: and Bob in Dallas from Victoria. They went on that
Speaker 5: entire Canucks road trip Saint Louis, Nashville, ended up in Dallas.
Speaker 5: Talk about true blue, well, true green Kannuck fans here
Speaker 5: look at this.
Speaker 1: How great is that?
Speaker 5: But the sad News Marine has a number nine jersey
Speaker 5: and they traded in my gosh, so she's a little
Speaker 5: heartbroken about that.
Speaker 1: So they're there for the Dallas game. Yes, after the trade.
Speaker 1: After the trade, she get them on the show, get
Speaker 1: their thoughts. Absolutely, they are two of our favorite viewers.
Speaker 1: We love them. Okay, any other photos? That's it? Okay?
Speaker 11: Is it just me?
Speaker 1: I want to continue with those of you going yeah
Speaker 1: right here?
Speaker 5: Too much Pittsburgh, Too much Pittsburgh. We've got Pittsburgh players, coaches, management.
Speaker 5: We're now called the Pittsburgh Penguins. You know, I do
Speaker 5: have to ask sometimes, Donny do Kanucks management. No, there's
Speaker 5: thirty other teams in the National Hockey League. Every single
Speaker 5: time when these guys are stuck, it's a former penguin.
Speaker 5: A former penguin, like you know, they hired a doctor
Speaker 5: or a Swede.
Speaker 1: You know you said that. I'm not saying that, but
Speaker 1: it's what you say to the breaks.
Speaker 5: We get text all the time, more Canadians, please on
Speaker 5: the on the Canucks roster.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with that.
Speaker 5: I'm on that train in the ladies olkit tiring. Langley
Speaker 5: in box.
Speaker 1: Speaking of which is it just me? This is unsigned
Speaker 1: and this is true. The last time we saw a
Speaker 1: forward carried out you know, edit this a bit. The
Speaker 1: last time we saw forward carry the puck like that
Speaker 1: like Hetel did yesterday was Daniel Sprang in preseason. Remember
Speaker 1: that goal he got? Oh right, yeah in Absburg at Abmasburg.
