Speaker 3: Any Mahultra, new head coach of the Canucks twenty third
Speaker 3: head coach In Vanker of the Canucks history, was scheduled
Speaker 3: to be on the show today. That's not going to happen.
Speaker 3: He's going to join us tomorrow, our first Canucks guest
Speaker 3: in two years. We had a few technical issues. We're
Speaker 3: able to make it happen, but of course, but it
Speaker 3: will happen tomorrow. We've been waiting for a Canucks guest
Speaker 3: through the Canucks for a long time. We get Canucks
Speaker 3: guests every once in a while through when they were
Speaker 3: whenever they're playing whatever the players are playing for their
Speaker 3: national teams. But this was our first Knuck aided guest
Speaker 3: in a long time, and it's going to happen tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Technical difficulties, and I want to thank the Canucks for
Speaker 1: they actually tried two different time slots to get Manny in.
Speaker 1: We finally fixed ouration.
Speaker 3: We also want to thank Derek Kong and Ryan Henderson
Speaker 3: us having a show today period, It almost didn't happen.
Speaker 3: For people who don't know. Our studios in Vanker. Our
Speaker 3: main studio, Czech studio is in Victoria, Victoria. As you've
Speaker 3: probably figured out if you've been watching over the five
Speaker 3: over the five years of the show, five plus years
Speaker 3: of the show, every once in a while we have
Speaker 3: a technical difficulty because of that. Okay, let's get onto
Speaker 3: the news. So Manny tomorrow on the show come through
Speaker 3: head coach in Vancouver Canucks history. Well, don't say done,
Speaker 3: don't don't, don't jinx it, Okay, json some news that
Speaker 3: sprung this morning. First of all, the NHL and a
Speaker 3: lot of people have been calling for this for a
Speaker 3: long long time. Just four preseason games starting next season.
Speaker 3: So the Canucks haven't announced their haven't released their schedule,
Speaker 3: but the Jets and Oilers have. They're the only two
Speaker 3: that I've seen amongst the Canadian teams. So we do
Speaker 3: know this that the Canucks have a home game preseason
Speaker 3: game against the Oilers on September twenty fourth. Now, now
Speaker 3: keep in mind the four preseason games, and a lot
Speaker 3: of people are saying, and look, what's the point of
Speaker 3: having six seven usually be ten or twelve back in
Speaker 3: the day and back in the day, and you know,
Speaker 3: you always think to yourself, well, you know that's great
Speaker 3: because the players are you know, the better chance of
Speaker 3: them getting ready for the season. The players come in
Speaker 3: and tip toe most of them. Some of them don't,
Speaker 3: as we know here in Vancouver in tip top shape.
Speaker 3: So do they need, you know, a full training camp
Speaker 3: like you used to have. If you want to call
Speaker 3: it full training camp like they used to have back
Speaker 3: in the day, and you know, a half dozen ten
Speaker 3: preseason games to get in shape. I think that's something
Speaker 3: that was valuable in the past, not so much now
Speaker 3: as far as player evaluation goes, one or two spots
Speaker 3: maybe up for grabs. They pretty much know who's going
Speaker 3: to be all they do. There's always there's always an exception,
Speaker 3: but rarely so. For NHL preseason games starting in the fall, again,
Speaker 3: we don't know the kind of schedule hasn't been released
Speaker 3: at this point, the preseason schedule, but we do know
Speaker 3: they host the Oilers on September twenty fourth. The Orders
Speaker 3: have released their schedule.
Speaker 1: We're going to say so well, and you mentioned, hey,
Speaker 1: Braden Kotz was an example of you know, he showed
Speaker 1: up and made the team last year.
Speaker 3: So Steve Korea back in the day.
Speaker 1: Steve Korea back in the day. So there's always one
Speaker 1: guy that you know uses training camp to build this case.
Speaker 3: So and keep in mind too, for NHL preseason games,
Speaker 3: media fans have been calling for for a long time,
Speaker 3: seemingly ignored by the National Hockey League. What led to
Speaker 3: this in part people in the media and fans wanting
Speaker 3: for preseason games, I'm sure, but the regular season is
Speaker 3: going to eighty four games from eighty two next season.
Speaker 3: And keep in mind, there were two seasons in the
Speaker 3: early nineties where the NHL introduced remember this neutral site games.
Speaker 3: There were two seasons I believe it was two seasons
Speaker 3: where the NHL had an eighty four game schedule. So
Speaker 3: this is this is nothing new. I remember Pavel getting
Speaker 3: his pebble ber his fiftieth goal. I want to see
Speaker 3: in Hamilton, Yes, in one of those neutral Coloseum Colum, Okay.
Speaker 3: So something else that happened this morning, A piece of
Speaker 3: news out of nowhere, nowhere, Jay Woodcroft, Bruce Cassidy, Patrick
Speaker 3: wat Joe Pavelski. We had all the name names associated
Speaker 3: with the Toronto Maple Leafs in terms of replacing Craig
Speaker 3: Bruby as head coach, forty first head coach in Leaf's history.
Speaker 3: Out of nowhere. Jim Hiller, who spent parts of the
Speaker 3: last three seasons with the LA Kings as head coach.
Speaker 3: He had that infamous coaches challenge in the playoffs a
Speaker 3: couple of years ago that didn't go his way. Might
Speaker 3: have been his defining moment in LA. People complaining about
Speaker 3: the type of boring hockey the Kings play. No, not
Speaker 3: even here anybody mentioned Jim Hiller's name and respect to him.
Speaker 3: BC boy BC born head coach in leif's history. He's
Speaker 3: the new head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Nobody
Speaker 3: had this, Toronto had it. But there's a familiarity. He
Speaker 3: was an assistant coach, yes, on Mike Babcock's staff, Donnie,
Speaker 3: so he knows the Matthews and he and the Kneelanders,
Speaker 3: all those guys. So there's a familiarity there for sure.
Speaker 3: But this is a name we did not, as somebody
Speaker 3: said last week, he interviewed with the Orders. But boy,
Speaker 3: this he came from behind and beat all those guys
Speaker 3: you mentioned. Jim Hiller, the new head coach of the
Speaker 3: Maple Leafs, a former head coach in the PCHL. He
Speaker 3: was with a Chiliac Bruins Alberni Valley, which is where
Speaker 3: he's from, and also was the head coach of the
Speaker 3: Tri City Americans. So BC connections with Jim Hiller. Off
Speaker 3: he goes, he returns. You mentioned it. He was on
Speaker 3: Babcocks Babcock's coaching staff, and off he goes to the
Speaker 3: Toronto May Place and you insiders, No nobody.
Speaker 1: Had that, nobody had Hiller. Nobody had them.
Speaker 3: And so are the Leaves in the business. And I hate,
Speaker 3: you know, spending much of our first segment of the
Speaker 3: show talking about the Toronto Maple Leafs because I mean this,
Speaker 3: they get enough attention, this whole thing. But the Calder
Speaker 3: Cup and sports that, you know, airing all their games
Speaker 3: when they didn't air nobody Abotsford Canucks. You know, Calder
Speaker 3: Cup drive last season. Last season, it's funny, like it's
Speaker 3: border line I laughable. How myopic they are. They they're
Speaker 3: blind to the rest of the of the country. So
Speaker 3: I'm not a big fan of that. But Jim Hiller
Speaker 3: is from BC and he's the new head coach of
Speaker 3: the the Leafs. Okay, uh, you had some Kentucky information.
Speaker 3: I want to talk more about this Hockey Night in
Speaker 3: Canada situation. We'll do that as the show goes on.
Speaker 3: That hockey in Canada is no more. And I said
Speaker 3: this yesterday, what's the big deal. It's still going to
Speaker 3: be on on Saturday nights. We'll still have Saturday night
Speaker 3: hockey in Canada. But one thing I talked about yesterday,
Speaker 3: you did too, No big deal. It's still going to
Speaker 3: be on sports. The name stays with CBC, it's not
Speaker 3: going to be called hockey. And from what I understand,
Speaker 3: we'll talk to John Shannon. John will give us a
Speaker 3: good He's going to join us just after eleven o'clock.
Speaker 3: John spent multiple years hockey in Canada, director, producer, behind
Speaker 3: the scenes. He was a big shot at hockey in Canada.
Speaker 3: We'll get more on that from him, but you have
Speaker 3: some Canucks information the latest on. Let's start with Teddy Blueger.
Speaker 3: Who's going to be a scheduled to become a UFA.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so very quiet on the Teddy Blueger front. Certainly
Speaker 1: not seeing urgency here, but things can change quickly with
Speaker 1: one phone call. Now, the old regime wanted Blueger back
Speaker 1: big time. Will be interesting to see what Ron Johnson
Speaker 1: thinks of him. Now we know the Canucks had interest
Speaker 1: in Michael McCarey and the bottom six center big tough
Speaker 1: guy can skate. Are the Canucks looking for a heavier set,
Speaker 1: big center in the bottom six. There is also Philip
Speaker 1: Heatl To keep in mind when you're talking about centers.
Speaker 1: I am not hearing anything bad in terms of Heatl's
Speaker 1: health that would hold him back on from playing next year,
Speaker 1: one of your favorite players of Philip Eatle, So not
Speaker 1: hearing anything you had to take that shot at not
Speaker 1: hearing anything negative in terms of Heatl's.
Speaker 3: Health except for his concussion hit.
Speaker 1: So that's it. The other thing I want to say
Speaker 1: is North Vancouver's Colt incisions. He could hit the market
Speaker 1: July first. There is going to be a lot of
Speaker 1: interest in him not hearing the Canucks have interest incisions
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, so when you look at the Canucks
Speaker 1: center ice position, what do they not have done? A
Speaker 1: ton of size? Their top two centers are small, first
Speaker 1: line center, Their top two centers are not big. They
Speaker 1: don't wear teams down. They're small guys. They don't weigh
Speaker 1: a ton. So are the Canucks trying to get bigger
Speaker 1: in the bottom six at the center ice position? At
Speaker 1: Colton's a pretty big guy North Vancouver kid. But anyways,
Speaker 1: right now, very quiet on Teddy Bluegert and keeping on
Speaker 1: Derek Forbert too as well.
Speaker 3: Let's stay with centers. I know you want to talk
Speaker 3: about a defenseman as well, but Elias Petterson somber forty.
Speaker 1: It's that time of the year, lots of chatter. The
Speaker 1: teams are calling about Ellie's Petterson. When Jim Rutherford was
Speaker 1: trying to trade Petterson, and this was after giving him
Speaker 1: the huge contract that you you absolutely loved.
Speaker 3: Ruther, You didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't like it. You didn't like it because you
Speaker 1: thought it was too little. That's you wanted to make
Speaker 1: thirty million a year to stop. So Rutherford, take your
Speaker 1: shots at me. I can. Rutherford signs Peterson and then
Speaker 1: immediately they're trying to trade the guy. So teams are
Speaker 1: calling again. Rutherford wanted a top center in return for
Speaker 1: Petterson when he was here. Not sure Ryan Johnson is
Speaker 1: looking for that in return, So so how do you
Speaker 1: move Petterson? Is their retention? What are you looking for
Speaker 1: in return? Is any team out there willing to take
Speaker 1: the eleven six on? People say Carolina's got interest in Peterson.
Speaker 1: They just won the Stanley Cup and they want to
Speaker 1: add eleven point six million. And for a guy who's
Speaker 1: gone downhill two years in a row like.
Speaker 3: That ship his sales, Yeah, you just want it? Makes
Speaker 3: connuckt fans sick. I think that the rumors were it's
Speaker 3: being reported that they offered up Martin NHS.
Speaker 1: That just and absolutely, and that was close. I will
Speaker 1: say that that was close. But for people to think
Speaker 1: Carolina's in on Petterson, they just want the Stanley Cup
Speaker 1: and they want to add a guy an underachieving, massive,
Speaker 1: horrible contract.
Speaker 3: Like Eric Telsky sees things in people that other people
Speaker 3: don't see. Well, the problem here is he sees things
Speaker 3: in people that aren't making eleven point six million who
Speaker 3: are undervalued. LEAs Pederson's not undervalued.
Speaker 1: That is true moneyway, So that's a good point. But anyways,
Speaker 1: the Pederson start, it's either at the trade deadline or
Speaker 1: at the NHL Draft that the Peterson trade stop never stops,
Speaker 1: never stops.
Speaker 3: I mean good luck, six years left on good Luck
Speaker 3: and nothing against him. I would sign the deal too.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like the deal you signed with Check
Speaker 3: can't believe it.
Speaker 1: Derek Forbert, So for Bert is a UFA as well.
Speaker 1: Had so many injuries last year. Some thought he may
Speaker 1: have to retire, but I'm hearing he's going to play
Speaker 1: next year. Quiet on the four bird front when it
Speaker 1: comes to Vancouver as well, And again it could change
Speaker 1: with one phone call, but the Canucks don't have big
Speaker 1: free agents UFAs. Remember last year they had Best or Donnie.
Speaker 1: But these guys are all going to be They're all
Speaker 1: going to be not big deals. So that's something to
Speaker 1: keep an eye on as well Forbert. But it's quiet
Speaker 1: with Forbert and Blueger could change any minute.
Speaker 3: Okay, we talked this is breaking news here the Vegas
Speaker 3: Golden Knights, Yes, talked about this yesterday. John Toterell, after
Speaker 3: a short stint at the end of the season of
Speaker 3: replacing Bruce Cassidy not returning his head coach of the
Speaker 3: Vegas Golden Knights and our show, other shows, other media
Speaker 3: speculating that Ryan Craig, who has spent the last but
Speaker 3: three seasons or so with the Henderson Silver Knights, would
Speaker 3: be promoted. He's another BC Boys from Habsford, fifth head
Speaker 3: coach in franchise history, Ryan Craig. He gets promoted to
Speaker 3: head the head coaching job with the Vegas Golden Knights.
Speaker 3: And that's I think a little surprising not that Ryan
Speaker 3: Craig gets the job, although they've gone for bigger names.
Speaker 3: All due respect it to Ryan Craig. In the past,
Speaker 3: five head coaches in nine years seasons. That's a lot
Speaker 3: for a team that's had a lot of success.
Speaker 1: Three Stanley Cups in nine years and they stand finals
Speaker 1: Stanley Finals, and they keep changing coaches with regularity.
Speaker 3: Yep. So Ryan Craig new head coach of the Vegas
Speaker 3: and that's just a lot happening. Wet even haven't even
Speaker 3: talked about the World Cup yet.
Speaker 1: Oh I was watching last night.
Speaker 3: Well look, you know so many times in the world
Speaker 3: of sports, in the world of pro sports, you build
Speaker 3: something up, And yesterday we talked about how the World
Speaker 3: Cup on Tuesday would feature games that feature Leonla Messi,
Speaker 3: Earl Helland and Killian and Babe, and they all came
Speaker 3: through with multiple goal matches. Messi, he's gonna be thirty nine.
Speaker 3: On Juja twenty fourth, gets three goals against the Algeria
Speaker 3: the one call back Whens, that's right, one call back
Speaker 3: and outside Helland with two goals. Boy he is Look,
Speaker 3: he just looks like RoboCop out there, just his closing speed.
Speaker 3: Norway over Iraqi, gets a couple of goals, and in
Speaker 3: Bapi two goals. France over Senegal, and we all remember
Speaker 3: that big upset turn of the century with Senegal over
Speaker 3: a defending champion France. They got some revenge for that.
Speaker 3: All three of those players were just spectacular. And Ronaldo
Speaker 3: is playing today. I think it's ten o'clock or a time,
Speaker 3: Portugal against the Democratic Republic of Congo. The World cupsman
Speaker 3: so good, just incredible entertainment. I don't care if you're
Speaker 3: a big soccer fan or not. That is sports at
Speaker 3: its best.
Speaker 1: The second goal by mess you thunder. It was just
Speaker 1: thunder shot. It was absolutely and no look at him,
Speaker 1: he's laughing at me. It's a soccer term thunder. You
Speaker 1: wouldn't get it right anyways. The other one for you
Speaker 1: is the Argentine and your a uniform guy. The Argentina uniforms,
Speaker 1: the ones they wore last night, by far the best
Speaker 1: I've seen in the World Cup. Daughter, you kidding?
Speaker 3: No gradient stripes. Their old uniforms look better than that.
Speaker 3: Stop you're telling me Norway doesn't have the.
Speaker 1: Best the Argentina uniform last night.
Speaker 3: He can't.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I fell in love with that uniform last night.
Speaker 1: Best uniform at the World Cup are Norway?
Speaker 3: Have you seen Norway?
Speaker 1: Bryan?
Speaker 3: But I know you you're busy, at least your pretending
Speaker 3: to be busy. Uh, Norway's uniforms.
Speaker 4: Come on, I might purchase uniform I might purchase ricks, right,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry that Argentina.
Speaker 3: No, no, they've rooined it. They know it's they have
Speaker 3: I'm allowed to break.
Speaker 4: By the way, I have allowed.
Speaker 3: That their stripes now feature a gradient gradient blue. It
Speaker 3: doesn't work.
Speaker 1: Just ye.
Speaker 3: You've seen people in the crowd with the old uniform,
Speaker 3: simple light blue stripes.
Speaker 1: Way better the.
Speaker 3: Norway jerseys the flag, oh, come on, those are tremendous.
Speaker 4: By the way, I don't know if you guys saw
Speaker 4: the start of the game, the people crying during the argent.
Speaker 3: Wasn't that amazing?
Speaker 4: I mean, we love our hockey. We love our hockey, okay,
Speaker 4: and we love our country. You don't see this, you don't,
Speaker 4: you know?
Speaker 1: And if the Canucks win the Stanley Cup, you will
Speaker 1: see that.
Speaker 3: People, right, you will see that one here. I've seen
Speaker 3: a lot of people crying your Canucks.
Speaker 1: Games anthem before the game.
Speaker 3: It's a joke.
Speaker 1: My gosh, eighty two. I cried, I joined the.
Speaker 3: Anthem, gave the puckaway to Boston.
Speaker 4: We're so proud and during your anthem and everything we
Speaker 4: see that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. We're more reserves, that's what it is.
Speaker 4: And we shouldn't pit Nations against you cry.
Speaker 1: I've cried. I've cried doing this show.
Speaker 3: He cried horribly. Okay, ready rock Yeah, we gotta go. DTMZ.
Speaker 3: Is it just me coming up in the eleven o'clock hour,
Speaker 3: John Shannon. We mentioned him so many years at Hockey
Speaker 3: Night in Canada, which is no more. He's going to
Speaker 3: join us just after eleven o'clock. John might be crying,
Speaker 3: So there's that. Okay, a big ride guy coming up
Speaker 3: this hour. And up next Bob the Moje for Jonvic
Speaker 3: DC Lions zero one after their season opening loss in Regina.

Speaker 3: we're just waiting for Bob or Janovich, a voice of
Speaker 3: the BC Allions from Black Press again. The BC Allions
Speaker 3: starting their season off last weekend of this past weekend,
Speaker 3: losing thirty one to twenty seven to the Rough Riders
Speaker 3: in Saskatchewan. That was strange. I was out, didn't watch
Speaker 3: the game, came back and watched it. I taped it
Speaker 3: and it was so reminiscent of the Western Final which
Speaker 3: Saskatchewan takes the late lead and then the Lions were
Speaker 3: unable to come back.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you need a D to stop, you need
Speaker 1: the D to make a stop.
Speaker 3: And yeah, well that's just it. Everybody looks at the
Speaker 3: end of games. The Lions fell fell behind fourteen to
Speaker 3: nothing early and that was the real problem versus being
Speaker 3: unable to punch it in the end zone at the
Speaker 3: end of the game. Lions in Hamilton on Friday, So
Speaker 3: we're efforting, as they say in the business, Bob Morjanovich. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: you've got some information, some interesting information off of Twitter
Speaker 3: when it comes to the Vegas Golden Knights and their
Speaker 3: former head coach, Well.
Speaker 1: Kelly mccrimin, the GM told the media this morning that
Speaker 1: he has already granted a team Donnie permission to speak
Speaker 1: with Bruce Cassidy and he will deal with it on
Speaker 1: a case by case basis going forward. But there's only
Speaker 1: one team left. There's only one team left looking for
Speaker 1: coach Edmonton and they're waiting on Babcock. So did he
Speaker 1: allow Bruce Cassidy to talk to La or Toronto? That's
Speaker 1: what we'll try and figure out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that is interesting because of all the Babcock
Speaker 3: rumors have quiet it down, okay, big time. So does
Speaker 3: that mean Bruce Cassidy is in play now in Edmonton
Speaker 3: versus Mike Babcock. And you know, if they felt they
Speaker 3: weren't going to get Bruce Cassidy and maybe Toronto was,
Speaker 3: did they throw the Babcock story out there, you know,
Speaker 3: as a trial balloon see what people would think. And
Speaker 3: maybe they didn't like the reaction, which is likely. And
Speaker 3: now on they moved to Bruce Cassidy, which is interesting
Speaker 3: because Knights and oilers are in the same division.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, let's see where it goes. We're good with Moch.
Speaker 3: Okay, it took a while, but we got them. Barbara Janovitch,
Speaker 3: the mode voice of the Becy Lions. He works for
Speaker 3: black Press. He joins us. Now, how are you, sir?
Speaker 6: Good morning, gentlemen, doing rather well on this beautiful sunny
Speaker 6: June day.
Speaker 3: All right, Moch, you like myself and like Rick, you've
Speaker 3: been around for a while. Does it bother you that
Speaker 3: Hockey Night in Canada? I won't be on CBC anymore?
Speaker 3: And apparently I should have known this show yesterday when
Speaker 3: I was doing the show. The name Hockey Night in
Speaker 3: Canada stays with the CBC.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's I don't think it impacts us in any way,
Speaker 6: shape or form in terms of how we consume the game.
Speaker 6: But yet at the same time, there's something nostalgic about
Speaker 6: Hockey Night in Canada. It's been around for ages. I mean,
Speaker 6: you know, remember this was this was hockey in Canada
Speaker 6: on Saturday nights. It's not like it is now, where
Speaker 6: you know, you can consume games on any given night
Speaker 6: of the week. I mean the older generation. And of
Speaker 6: course we're fading away so it really doesn't matter. But
Speaker 6: for us it was Saturday night, one game at five o'clock,
Speaker 6: the Leafs, the Canadians or the Canucks. And it's sad
Speaker 6: that that, I guess tradition, if you want to call it,
Speaker 6: will no longer be part of the hockey landscape.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And while we're on the subject of things that
Speaker 3: national networks are doing, what's your reaction to the situation
Speaker 3: with the Calder Cup where Sports Net is airing all
Speaker 3: of the Toronto Marley's games and I believe they're up
Speaker 3: three to nothing on the Chicago Wolves, while last year,
Speaker 3: completely ignoring what the Abbotsford Cannucks were up to.
Speaker 6: Well, I can say whatever I want about sports Nets,
Speaker 6: seeing how they punted my you know what for being
Speaker 6: critical of the Blue Jays broadcast. So I'll say that.
Speaker 6: I mean, to me, it's just it is what it is.
Speaker 6: I mean, they cater to Toronto because that's where the
Speaker 6: eyeballs are, right, I mean, it's the least. How many
Speaker 6: times have we seen major stories in other parts of
Speaker 6: the country just neglected, not only by sports Net, by
Speaker 6: TSN as well, because you know, Austin Matthews tweaked his
Speaker 6: ankle in the morning skate and left early, and it's
Speaker 6: you know, it's headline news. And meanwhile, some guy who
Speaker 6: scored five goals the night before in Edmonton is basically disregarded.
Speaker 6: So doesn't surprise me at all.
Speaker 1: It is what it is, ye moje, I swear to God.
Speaker 1: The Lions has started this year like last year, so
Speaker 1: many times they needed a stop from their defense late
Speaker 1: in the game and they didn't get it. What happened
Speaker 1: in Saskatchewan, well, I mean clearly it's their start.
Speaker 6: I mean, you can't allow the other team to get
Speaker 6: the ball twice in the first, their first two drives
Speaker 6: and score touchdowns. So I know a lot of people
Speaker 6: are looking at the final drive. Yeah, I mean they
Speaker 6: needed a stop, they didn't get it. They needed to
Speaker 6: score on offense, they didn't do it. But Saskatchewan's a
Speaker 6: good team. I mean, Trevor Harris is a good quarterback.
Speaker 6: So you have to tip your cap sometimes to the opposition.
Speaker 6: But the one thing I did like about this team
Speaker 6: in that game was the resilience. I mean, they lost Katoy,
Speaker 6: they lost berry Hill. I mean, you know, Sevin McGee
Speaker 6: was basically lost for the season early in the game.
Speaker 6: So you lose three players on the offensive side of
Speaker 6: the ball who are part of your scheme, and you know,
Speaker 6: somehow you're holding every thing together by duct tape and
Speaker 6: still competing. So it was it was a tough loss.
Speaker 6: But I think, you know, they just got to move
Speaker 6: onwards and upwards.
Speaker 1: This schedule Mojes Hamilton just went into Winnipig, dropped thirty
Speaker 1: seven points this this game on Friday, short little bit
Speaker 1: of a short work week. This isn't gonna be easy either.
Speaker 6: No, I mean, it's professional football. As Neil back Off
Speaker 6: I would say, right, The thing is, it's one of
Speaker 6: the things that was really emphasized when I talked to
Speaker 6: Ryan Riggmaid and even Buck Curser, more so with Lyon CM,
Speaker 6: Ryan Riggmaid and Kamloops is we had to get off
Speaker 6: to a better start. That's we kept saying, we need
Speaker 6: a better start. That two and five start last year
Speaker 6: cost them home field advantage when it came to the
Speaker 6: playoffs and possibly a birth of the Great Cups. So
Speaker 6: that's one thing that they kind of really set as
Speaker 6: a goal this year. I think to win the West
Speaker 6: and you go down two if you lose in Hamilton
Speaker 6: all of a sudden. Now, like you know, the pressure
Speaker 6: is on, and not necessarily in terms of games becoming
Speaker 6: must wins, but when you're going to you're digging yourself
Speaker 6: into a hole. You're looking up at everybody, right. So
Speaker 6: I think that's one of the things that you know,
Speaker 6: you look at this game against Hamilton and it's a
Speaker 6: big one because one in one sounds a heck of
Speaker 6: a lot better than know one too.
Speaker 1: Carolina wins the Stanley Cup. Moje, we know the Canucks are.
Speaker 1: You know it's going to be a long trek to
Speaker 1: get to where they are. But is there anything about Carolina, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean they're entering a rebuild, Moje. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: they're miles away. But last, listen, mog let me finish.
Speaker 1: I know, hey, Donnie and I we've been waiting at
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred years for the Canucks to win the Cup. Listen,
Speaker 1: Moje has been waiting six hundred, six hundred years. But
Speaker 1: is there anything from Carolina the Canucks can learn from
Speaker 1: and to get in the right direction going in?
Speaker 6: I mean, clearly you have to have and we've talked
Speaker 6: about this before, is alignment and right, I mean, what's
Speaker 6: that old botch line? You need an army, right. So
Speaker 6: you look at Carolina, A lot of their success was
Speaker 6: predicated on, you know, what they had in terms of depth.
Speaker 6: So it's one of the reasons they beat the Montreal
Speaker 6: Canadians in that series was the difference in the fourth line.
Speaker 6: So you know, I look at the Canucks and that
Speaker 6: just it's going to be such a long road, fellas.
Speaker 6: And you know, I'm just Donnie said it the best.
Speaker 6: I wonder if we're going to see a connect Stanley
Speaker 6: Cup during our lifetimes.
Speaker 3: I really do.
Speaker 6: And and and it's sad because you know there's other
Speaker 6: fans in the same boat. I mean, following this team
Speaker 6: since nineteen seventy, some even before, like Donnie, following it
Speaker 6: in the Western Hockey League days. So yeah, it's it's disneyppointing.
Speaker 3: So come on, you went to Western Hockey League games
Speaker 3: with the old Canucks. Admit it, Moches.
Speaker 6: Come on, Donnie, I was like three.
Speaker 3: If I didn't like that, doesn't mean you didn't go.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah. So my parents barely spoke English,
Speaker 6: didn't even know barely anything about hockey, are going to
Speaker 6: take me to a Western Hockey League game of the Coulseam.
Speaker 3: Come on, I'm not that old, Hey, moch my first
Speaker 3: game I remember distinctly the first game I saw professional
Speaker 3: hockey in Vancouver. This is how old I am.
Speaker 1: Was at the forum, the p and E Forum in
Speaker 1: goal for the Canucks, a kid by the name of
Speaker 1: Tony Esposito. That's how far back I go, And I
Speaker 1: think I saw you in the crowd. There's a lot
Speaker 1: I think he was there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's crazy, like when you walk around
Speaker 6: the p and E and you walk into the forum
Speaker 6: and you're like, they actually played Western Hockey League games,
Speaker 6: and you're like professional Hockey League games. I mean, what
Speaker 6: do they got like about ten rows of stands that's
Speaker 6: it on each side?
Speaker 3: Oh well yeah, and and that when they built the
Speaker 3: coliseum late sixties, that was such a big deal. And
Speaker 3: now the Canucks of course have been out of there
Speaker 3: for a long long time. Yep, time flash. Hey, World
Speaker 3: Cup hard not to get into it mode. You'd have
Speaker 3: to agree with that, you.
Speaker 6: Know, I'm still not into it. I'm still kind of
Speaker 6: like on the periphery. I've been seeing some of the scores,
Speaker 6: you know, I teached some of the matches. Okay, with
Speaker 6: the biggest impact of the World Cup out on us. So
Speaker 6: when we were flying to Regina, the Australians were coming
Speaker 6: in and there must have been probably about fifteen to
Speaker 6: twenty Vancouver motorcycle officers then ready with the police escort.
Speaker 6: So and it's like South Terminal where we flying and
Speaker 6: out of one of the buildings there is usually pretty quiet.
Speaker 6: It was just a buzz of FIFA people, people from
Speaker 6: the Australian contingent, I guess. And then when we arrived
Speaker 6: from Regina, Turkey A and I know, so I'm going
Speaker 6: with Turkey A. Turkey and Australia had played that night
Speaker 6: and it was a late game at BC Place, So
Speaker 6: when we landed, there were two Alaska Airlines jets just
Speaker 6: repped up ready to go, I guess, waiting for both
Speaker 6: teams to take them to wherever they were off to.
Speaker 6: So yeah, that was that was the one thing I
Speaker 6: noticed was the increase that pibody at the airport with
Speaker 6: both sides coming into Vancouver for that match.
Speaker 3: But you know, the.
Speaker 6: Interesting thing is though, it's pretty cool, like, uh, just
Speaker 6: kind of glanced down Granville Street this week. I was
Speaker 6: downtown on the weekend and just to see everybody out
Speaker 6: in the boat and just kind of catching the fever
Speaker 6: even though they obviously can't afford to go to the games.
Speaker 6: But between there and some of the stuff that you've
Speaker 6: seen at the p and E, it's been pretty cool
Speaker 6: for people to get into.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been special. The crowds have been special, and
Speaker 3: the superstars are coming through.
Speaker 1: Moja, thanks for this.
Speaker 3: I don't believe you about not being at the penie
Speaker 3: form for the Western Hockey League, but we'll talk to
Speaker 3: you next week.
Speaker 6: Hey, you know what, I was at the p and
Speaker 6: E Forum for All Star Wrestling.
Speaker 3: On Yes, yes, absolutely, Stamp Okay, thanks Boach, appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Lions and Hamilton Moch we'll have the call in on
Speaker 3: CKW Stampede Wrestling that was in Calgary. They came here,
Speaker 3: they came here, all start wrestling with Ron mourriyya, come on.
Speaker 1: It was at the Pedi Front. I loved him.
Speaker 3: I remember seeing at the a Penie Gardens, which was
Speaker 3: the building. I guess it would be to the east
Speaker 3: of the Forum. I'm so old. Okay, walding dog pull question.
Speaker 3: We'll introduce it next. It has to do with the demise.
Speaker 3: I guess you call it of Hi canadon Canada, Donnie,

Speaker 7: Montreal and the Philadelphia Flyers are currently playing overtime and
Speaker 7: are we able to go there or not?
Speaker 1: We are not able to go there.
Speaker 7: That's the way things go today in sports on this network,
Speaker 7: and the Flyers and the Canadians have us in suspense
Speaker 7: and will remain that way until we can find out
Speaker 7: somehow who won this game or who's responsible for the
Speaker 7: way we do things here.
Speaker 1: Good night for Hockey Night in Canada.
Speaker 3: Not the greatest moment in Hockey Night in Canada history
Speaker 3: in terms of something positive, but one we'll never forget.
Speaker 3: So memorable. Dave Hodge ripping into the CBC. You see
Speaker 3: him flip his pen right again. He was really upset.
Speaker 3: There was an issue with curling covered her day and
Speaker 3: they couldn't show the Montreal Philadelphia overtime and he ended
Speaker 3: up losing his job and they fired him. That was,
Speaker 3: and then he ended up with c KNW on Radio
Speaker 3: here iarin Vancouver for a short period of time. But
Speaker 3: that was no matter what you think of him, folks,
Speaker 3: one of the can you call it great days in
Speaker 3: Ron McClain's broadcasting career. Ron McLean was twenty six years old.
Speaker 3: He took over from Dave Hodge as the main host
Speaker 3: of Hiking in Canada and then started his partnership with
Speaker 3: Don Cherry and the rest is history. But Dave Hodge
Speaker 3: came to c KNW after that, you remember him, and
Speaker 3: my recollection was that it didn't last long because he
Speaker 3: wasn't as good as the late great Neil McCrae.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, but back to back to Toronto he went. I
Speaker 1: remember Dave Hodge on the Canucks broadcast on c and
Speaker 1: W great broadcaster by the way.
Speaker 3: Okay, this all leads to the Wattling Dog, Paul Quick
Speaker 3: and he wasn't as good as Neil McCrae. No wattling Dog.
Speaker 3: Poll question experienced one of Victoria's iconic destinations, Catch the
Speaker 3: World Cup of the Dog with Canada games shown live
Speaker 3: and loud on all twenty two TVs were full sound.
Speaker 3: Come sit and stay at.
Speaker 1: The dog today, Wick Ryan, get her up the Waddling Dog.
Speaker 1: Pop pole question, what's your reaction to CBC no longer
Speaker 1: airing Hockey Night in Canada. Look at this leading the way.
Speaker 1: Sadness forty seven percent, indifference forty four percent, anger nine
Speaker 1: percent in the last place. But sadness especially for those
Speaker 1: of us who watched old Guys Old Guys in the
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties and Hockey Night in Canada every Saturday
Speaker 1: at five o'clock, and you know everybody would gather together
Speaker 1: to watch and you know it was it was Look,
Speaker 1: there wasn't much hockey, so we we you appreciate things
Speaker 1: more when there's less. Now there's more, and I don't
Speaker 1: appreciate I can't watch twelve hockey games at nighttime? I
Speaker 1: got five. Do you want to go back to I
Speaker 1: want to go back to the old days. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I hate the crap with five hundred channels on TV.
Speaker 1: You know what, it's stupid, it's dumb. Why are there
Speaker 1: five channels?
Speaker 3: Five?
Speaker 1: You don't have to eat, I don't have to watch.
Speaker 1: I only use four or five channels. I'm not a
Speaker 1: five hundred channel guy. B S stop, no chance. This
Speaker 1: is stupid. It's dumb. Why Why is there five hundred
Speaker 1: channels on your television when you're not using somebody stopping making.
Speaker 3: Money, that's probably there's a market for it.
Speaker 1: We appreciated things more back in the seventies and eighties
Speaker 1: because there was less things. And then we loved talking
Speaker 1: in Canada, even the French channel. I failed Great eight French,
Speaker 1: but I still watched the abs on the French channel.
Speaker 1: You knew the Lafleur shut lamaire that were going around
Speaker 1: the ice.
Speaker 3: So you want to go back to just having one
Speaker 3: game and then, you know, and once in a while,
Speaker 3: the people in Toronto, the powers would be, would would
Speaker 3: throw a little tidbit out, a little crumb for the
Speaker 3: knuck fans, and there'd be a knnock game once a
Speaker 3: week in Canada, maybe like four or five times a year.
Speaker 1: That would just go back to that. We appreciate, you
Speaker 1: know why it was.
Speaker 3: You know why we didn't complain that that much way
Speaker 3: back when when, because we had Jim Robson on Region
Speaker 3: Robson better than anything on TV. Though late I develop
Speaker 3: a problem saying that the late great Jim Robinsons of
Speaker 3: all time. I want to run this because we've got
Speaker 3: several clips from hockey Dight in Canada, but I want
Speaker 3: to run this because it's one of my favorite Hockey
Speaker 3: Night in Canada moments. It's not that long ago. It's
Speaker 3: from twenty thirteen. And by the way, I didn't I
Speaker 3: wasn't aware of this yesterday. The name Hockey Night in
Speaker 3: Canada is staying with CBS STEBC. We're gonna still see
Speaker 3: games on Sports Net on Saturday night. It won't be
Speaker 3: the same. I guess it won't be called Hockey Night
Speaker 3: in Canada and that's the shame. But this goes back
Speaker 3: to twenty thirteen and it's it's remember the great montages
Speaker 3: Hockey Night in Canada would run and this was when
Speaker 3: Pavel Burrey had his number retired at Rogers' Arena again
Speaker 3: November second, twenty thirteen. It was a game against the Leafs.
Speaker 3: So of course the guys that you know back He's
Speaker 3: made sure they got the Leafs involved in this montage.
Speaker 3: But it's just wonderful. It's a tribute to Pavel Burrey.
Speaker 3: They worked the Leafs in there as well. Connacks ended
Speaker 3: up winning that game for nothing that night. But I
Speaker 3: just want to run this from back in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 3: And the reason it's extra special for BC people not
Speaker 3: just because of Pavel, because the band they used Chilliwack,
Speaker 3: Fly at Night, roll it dere if you don't mind.
Speaker 8: Four men in a rock and movement, fire Night and
Speaker 8: the Morning, wand Finn.
Speaker 4: It's fine see the morning from the other side.
Speaker 1: And when you close, your seed comes first. When you
Speaker 1: fly the univers. Well, need some rest, yeah, need some.
Speaker 4: Big watch faces. Yeah, we like to see faces.
Speaker 5: Time is just a riverban time is at top event.
Speaker 1: When we look out, you see.
Speaker 4: You see much closers again fly.
Speaker 1: Okay, you get the idea.
Speaker 3: That was just a really special moment watching that. Why
Speaker 3: they had I mean it was a night for Palva Brue.
Speaker 3: Why they had worked I know they were playing the
Speaker 3: leaves well, why they worked the leafs in that?
Speaker 6: Why?
Speaker 3: I have no idea. But all those great moments with
Speaker 3: pelic at discs, all those great moments with Palva Brun.
Speaker 3: Have these people like Ryan who are too young to
Speaker 3: remember the guy was and why is his number ten
Speaker 3: up there?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: Like, yes you do. You don't take a look at
Speaker 3: this footage, And that's why that was. I always remember
Speaker 3: those great montages that Hockey Night in Canada used to run,
Speaker 3: and I guess they still did for a while, but
Speaker 3: nothing like this. This was just fabulous.
Speaker 1: I just I remember that so well, just.
Speaker 3: Thinking that is great television. It took people back and
Speaker 3: they worked the current day conducts into it as well.
Speaker 3: You see the sedines uh in there. But I just
Speaker 3: thought that was really really special. It was something they
Speaker 3: did that always always seemed to work before big moments there.
Speaker 1: The CBC was for sports for before these guys, A
Speaker 1: TSN and sports, and I came CBC was the best.
Speaker 1: And when you won the Stanley Cup. After the Stanley Cup,
Speaker 1: they would play we are the champions by Queen and
Speaker 1: it was just great and that's how they would end
Speaker 1: the season. So great memories on CBC and Hockey Night
Speaker 1: in Canada. But it's changing. Everything's changing, and not for.
Speaker 3: The Okay, we could go on and on about Hockey
Speaker 3: Night in Canada. I'm just gonna miss the name. If
Speaker 3: indeed it stays this way and CBC keeps the rights,
Speaker 3: maybe sports that buys it back, but they're you know,
Speaker 3: spending money on other things, and it's it's it's sad
Speaker 3: for us old guys and for a lot a lot
Speaker 3: of a lot of people to lose that just the
Speaker 3: name and the memories hockey Night in Canada. Rest in peace? Okay,
Speaker 3: how are we doing business? All right? I've got some
Speaker 3: other hockey ning. We've got some other Hockey Night in

Speaker 3: This from al in Richmond that bury montage was outstanding.
Speaker 3: They followed it up years later with a montage of
Speaker 3: Philip Heel that may have been just as good. People
Speaker 3: have to watch this show for a long time to
Speaker 3: understand what that's all about. I will stand by what
Speaker 3: I said.
Speaker 4: Within a few months time, did you not have the
Speaker 4: Jack Adams for Foot and Hetel as a Bury comp.
Speaker 3: It wasn't my best era. What a what a scene
Speaker 3: Philip Hetele's debut stop it at Rogers Arena. I'm not
Speaker 3: saying he was exactly like Pavl Burray. I'm saying it
Speaker 3: would remind me of that debut because he was going
Speaker 3: and to end confident carrying the pockage cost him.
Speaker 4: It's like saying I saw a red Corolla today driving
Speaker 4: and you know what, once I saw a red Ferrari,
Speaker 4: it made me instantly think of the same thing.
Speaker 1: There was a made of red was similar. There was
Speaker 1: a build up to Bury's first game, like there was anticipation.
Speaker 1: We had waited weeks and weeks and weeks for Burray.
Speaker 3: This is this is similar to Pratt and I when
Speaker 3: I said Mason Raymond skates like Wayne Gretzky.
Speaker 1: You've had a lot of really great takes on it.
Speaker 3: It was his skating style was similar. I wasn't saying
Speaker 3: Mason Raymond was going to be the next Wayne Gretzky.
Speaker 3: I'm saying he skated like kind of hunched over, but
Speaker 3: very very effective. And Pratt, you know, went on and
Speaker 3: on about how I was comparing Raymond to Gretzky, and
Speaker 3: you just you don't understand. That's what will sure both
Speaker 3: you guys and a lot of people apparent.
Speaker 4: The guy behind the montages, by the way, is Tim
Speaker 4: Thompson him. He was, He was at CBC and I
Speaker 4: don't think he does stuff anymore.
Speaker 3: But that was my favorite one just because it worked.
Speaker 3: It works so well. Pablo Burrey flying it just the
Speaker 3: wallow act from BC perfect.
Speaker 4: They've done the ones that before twenty eleven were outstanding
Speaker 4: to between the Bruins and US. They've done a few
Speaker 4: tragically hip ones involving.
Speaker 1: The Canadians man courage. Yeah, really well done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and hats off to Tim because he knew that,
Speaker 3: Yes it was you had to dedicate that piece of
Speaker 3: footage or that footage to Palvin Brie. But work the
Speaker 3: Leafs in to keep the job right.
Speaker 4: But they do that for all of them. It's the
Speaker 4: teams involved in the game. They try and do both sides.
Speaker 1: Mistake, Okay it might be, but that it's what happens.
Speaker 3: So you're so now you're a leaf fan, all right?
Speaker 4: I will say I'm sticking up for the Leafs a
Speaker 4: little bit with the way they're getting crapped on over
Speaker 4: this Mitch Marner thing.
Speaker 1: But we'll save that for later later.
Speaker 4: But okay, First of all, our friends at the Vancouver
Speaker 4: Giants shared some news this morning. I want to mention
Speaker 4: their home opener date has been announced.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 4: It's like right around the corner that they're going to
Speaker 4: have the start of the WHL season coming up on
Speaker 4: September the nineteenth. They're gonna face off against the Colonna
Speaker 4: Rockets for the home opener out there at the nec
Speaker 4: Ron Toygo and our friends and Matthews Preston, who's on
Speaker 4: the program yesterday. We'll be back with the Giants three months.
Speaker 4: We got a lot of reaction. Forget about this AUGUSTA.
Speaker 4: These kids are showing up to camp in August.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? You've got the Giants golf.
Speaker 4: Tournament out there to Uston Springs as well, So.
Speaker 1: Junior hockey, you get ready.
Speaker 3: The big news is that time flies and.
Speaker 1: They don't have a coach yet. Uh yeah, but a
Speaker 1: second Michael Dick is with the Toronto Marleys in the
Speaker 1: Colder Cup final watching that. Do not be surprised if
Speaker 1: Michael Dick is the new coach the Giants and the
Speaker 1: new gm they're just waiting for.
Speaker 3: The They would leave, they would leave a professional hockey
Speaker 3: job to be coaching.
Speaker 1: That that's the rumor that they're waiting for Michael Dick.
Speaker 1: The Giants haven't had a coach for six seven them.
Speaker 1: Why else would they? Why else are they waiting? They're
Speaker 1: waiting on Michael Dick.
Speaker 4: Like what happened with the Predators. They had to wait
Speaker 4: for the abs to be gone. And then Chris McFarlane
Speaker 4: showed up there.
Speaker 1: So okay.
Speaker 4: The other thing, this is something you guys talked about
Speaker 4: last week with Shannon Guys. ESPN very happy with its
Speaker 4: Stanley Cup final, despite what a lot of people thought
Speaker 4: going in twenty twenty six. Stanley Cup playoffs as a
Speaker 4: whole average two point two million viewers across ESPN, up
Speaker 4: twenty one hundred and twenty seven percent from twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: It's the most watched postseason guys in NHL history down
Speaker 4: South on ESPN and TNT.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but ESPN, the NBC, I would imagine include the
Speaker 3: NBC numbers the years of the NBC.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but ultimately having a ESPN involved in your league
Speaker 4: is a must. Like I don't know if you're seeing
Speaker 4: this stuff, but apparently Fox is upset because of ESPN's
Speaker 4: coverage of the World Cup and it's not what it
Speaker 4: should be.
Speaker 1: Well guess what.
Speaker 4: ESPN can't show any damn highlights from the World Cup
Speaker 4: because of FIFA's regulations, so they're not going to spend
Speaker 4: a ton of time on it.
Speaker 1: It's not their property. I hate the way that thinking is,
Speaker 1: but it happens. It happens in this country.
Speaker 3: On the CFN that thinking, and I don't know if
Speaker 3: this is the case with ESPN. There's a time limitation.
Speaker 3: You can show footage, yeah, thirty seconds, right, and that's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just don't understand how you market your product properly
Speaker 3: that that way. I mean, you know, I've had to
Speaker 3: deal with it places I've worked with, had to deal
Speaker 3: with it for years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't just understand. Like with the Olympics.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't want to show the golden.
Speaker 4: Goal, Like we can't show any any goals today for
Speaker 4: performance or anything.
Speaker 1: But a large part of the things are helping here
Speaker 1: in the States. Olympics, four nations and social media. That
Speaker 1: was the start for nations, and then the Olympics they win.
Speaker 1: You got Trump tweeting about the US hockey team, and
Speaker 1: you got this cam Ptel guy going to the Olympics,
Speaker 1: cash whatever his name is, going to the Olympics and
Speaker 1: partying with the guys in the dressing room. You've got one.
Speaker 1: You've got the US government behind these teams, tweeting up
Speaker 1: a storm and following these teams. Social media's played a
Speaker 1: big role. I think it's ultimately win, but win the
Speaker 1: win is the thing. Yeah, the Winner is the thing.
Speaker 3: If Canada would have it would have been great for
Speaker 3: not so show would have been the best thing for
Speaker 3: the NHL.
Speaker 4: The other thing is what you brought up a Shannon
Speaker 4: to the popularity. Heated rivalry like that show was huge,
Speaker 4: like a wildfire quick and that combined with the Olympics.
Speaker 3: I think there's another series out right now. I can't
Speaker 3: remember the name, hockey series. Yeah, well, you watch all
Speaker 3: those channels.
Speaker 1: It must be one of the five hundred channels everyone's
Speaker 1: got at home. Now, what you know?
Speaker 3: Off off campus?
Speaker 1: That's what it is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Savage is in here and she's up to
Speaker 4: dating these things.
Speaker 1: I don't know what off campus is a hockey show. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I still watch Young Blood, Rob Lowe,
Speaker 1: great movie.
Speaker 3: That was not a great movie.
Speaker 4: What are you gonna stand? I don't know if we
Speaker 4: talked about this, Where are you gonna stand?
Speaker 3: On Mighty Ducks?
Speaker 1: That was okay, Emily Western right for kids? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: not like young Blood was great. Oh my gosh, No,

Speaker 1: Thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 3: How are you hey, boys? How are you good? Good
Speaker 3: your reaction? Hockey Night in Canada no longer being aired
Speaker 3: on CBC.
Speaker 8: Well, yesterday was a sad day when you consider what
Speaker 8: that brand was for seventy four years, and what it
Speaker 8: stood for and what some of us believed in.
Speaker 1: It.
Speaker 8: It's, uh, it's the end of an era in so
Speaker 8: many ways, and and a little bit of the end
Speaker 8: of some Canadiana in so many ways. You know, when
Speaker 8: you when you think about what Saturday nights meant, whether
Speaker 8: it be the five o'clock start that we used to
Speaker 8: have on Saturdays, and then when the doubleheader occurred in
Speaker 8: nineteen ninety five and and Vancouver and the West got
Speaker 8: their own primetime game, it's just it's it's it's part
Speaker 8: of the the culture that that this country used to
Speaker 8: have that will not occur anymore. There are going to
Speaker 8: and there are going to be from a practical perspective,
Speaker 8: there are going to be some Canadians that will not
Speaker 8: be able to see hockey on a regular basis now,
Speaker 8: whether they choose to subscribe to a Rogers product or
Speaker 8: where they're a part part of the country where it's
Speaker 8: not available, that's going to be that's going to be
Speaker 8: difficult for some of those people to swallow. But we
Speaker 8: won't know that until late September when the season starts again.
Speaker 3: John tell us about your association with hockey in Canada,
Speaker 3: how far back it goes, and what was it like
Speaker 3: for a kid from all over BC to be working
Speaker 3: on a major show like that.
Speaker 8: So my first year was nineteen seventy seven. I got
Speaker 8: paid ten dollars a game to be a runner at
Speaker 8: Maple Leaf Gardens while I was going to school as
Speaker 8: a broadcast student. It was the greatest job that I
Speaker 8: ever had. I got to rub elbows with the TV
Speaker 8: stars and hockey players and walk through the bowels of
Speaker 8: the best hockey arenas in the world on a regular basis.
Speaker 8: Got to go to the Stanley Cup Final for so
Speaker 8: many years I think I did thirty three or thirty
Speaker 8: four of them. There was a real culture in those
Speaker 8: days of what hockey Night in Canada was, and it
Speaker 8: was you know, when you wore the baby blue blazer, Donnie,
Speaker 8: you know you you were you were six inches taller
Speaker 8: than other people, and you really believed in what you
Speaker 8: were trying to do and how important hockey was not
Speaker 8: you know, and it wasn't Toronto and Vancouver and Montreal
Speaker 8: where it was important. It was in Prince George and
Speaker 8: then Yorkton, yes, uh, and then Timmins and uh, you know,
Speaker 8: and and and and Truro Nova Scotia. That that's where
Speaker 8: hockey Night in Canada. For me, being a small town boy,
Speaker 8: that's where it really I think hit home. Was that
Speaker 8: we meant and I do say we we had hockey
Speaker 8: Night in Canada. We met so much to so many Canadians.
Speaker 8: And that's what made me the proudest.
Speaker 3: Why did we remember those days so fondly, the day,
Speaker 3: the heydays of hockey and eight in Canada so fondly
Speaker 3: when coverage of the National Hockey League is so much
Speaker 3: more extensive now.
Speaker 8: Well, I think you guys kind of hit the nail
Speaker 8: on the head earlier is that you know, we didn't
Speaker 8: used to get hockey seven nights a week. We used
Speaker 8: to get it every Saturday, and then there would be
Speaker 8: twenty five conuct games on Wednesday night.
Speaker 6: And that was it. That was it.
Speaker 8: You didn't see very much else. And that's why the
Speaker 8: playoffs were so important because you know, on Saturdays during
Speaker 8: the regular season you saw games from Toronto, you saw
Speaker 8: games from Montreal, and as I told you last week,
Speaker 8: four times a year you saw games from the coliseum.
Speaker 8: But in the playoffs you saw games from every arena.
Speaker 8: So there was a real connection to that group of announcers,
Speaker 8: connection to the game because it wasn't every night of
Speaker 8: the week.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 8: To put this in context, we revel in the you know,
Speaker 8: a lot of us in the business say, wow, Monday
Speaker 8: Night football has been on since nineteen seventy two. Well,
Speaker 8: Hockey Night in Canada was on twenty years earlier than that.
Speaker 8: Hockey Night in Canada was the Hockey Night in Canada
Speaker 8: was part of our culture in our country and it
Speaker 8: helped introduce so many new Canadians to Canadian culture and
Speaker 8: to the game of hockey. You know, when you walk
Speaker 8: down the street and you go to Canuck game now
Speaker 8: and you see the broad strokes of culture that we
Speaker 8: see going to the games. A lot of that started
Speaker 8: with parents and grandparents who moved to this country and
Speaker 8: watched Hockey Night in Canada because that's what Canadians did.
Speaker 8: And so all of us really owe a debt of gratitude,
Speaker 8: including me, to what the CBC did and what Hockey
Speaker 8: United Canada did for so many Canadians.
Speaker 1: John Good BC boy got the Toronto Maple Leafs head
Speaker 1: coaching job today, I don't see a lot of people
Speaker 1: liking it. I think they wanted a bigger name or whatever.
Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts on Jim Hiller getting the
Speaker 1: job for the Leaves?
Speaker 8: Two things, Rick. First of all, I think a lot
Speaker 8: of people were shocked that it was Jim Hiller, and
Speaker 8: I think that's why there's a real reaction like who
Speaker 8: what and and you know, for the first time in
Speaker 8: the history of Maple Leaf sports and entertainment, somebody was
Speaker 8: able to keep a secret and so it didn't it
Speaker 8: didn't get leaked out two days ago and didn't get
Speaker 8: on the Blogosphares last weekend. So I think that that
Speaker 8: was the one one of the things that has caught
Speaker 8: people off guard. Uh, you know, Jim Hiller is not
Speaker 8: a big name. Jim Hiller had some time in Toronto
Speaker 8: with Mike Babcock as the head coach and he was
Speaker 8: an assistant, but nobody really knew who Jim Hiller was
Speaker 8: when he was here. I think his time in Los
Speaker 8: Angeles could be viewed as semi successful. But you know,
Speaker 8: they didn't get out of the first round in LA.
Speaker 8: And he's a defensive first coach, He's a structured coach,
Speaker 8: So how will he manage how this team can get
Speaker 8: out of its own zone is a question. Quite frankly,
Speaker 8: in my opinion, the hiring is underwhelming, but maybe it's
Speaker 8: what the Leafs need for two or three years. You know,
Speaker 8: this is in my opinion, and Jim won't like to
Speaker 8: hear this. This is a placeholder position right now. This
Speaker 8: is a job for two or three years as this
Speaker 8: team tries to figure out exactly what it is.
Speaker 1: So John Tortorella takes Vegas to the Stanley Cup finals
Speaker 1: and for his reward he gets a pink slip where
Speaker 1: you say a prize.
Speaker 8: Oh, I don't think he got a pink slipper.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, I mean, they didn't bring him
Speaker 1: back and he got him into the final.
Speaker 8: I think this was part of the deal. Yeah, I
Speaker 8: think this was part of the plan all along.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 8: Kelly McCrimmon said this morning that they probably wanted Ryan Craig,
Speaker 8: who got the job today, to be the head coach,
Speaker 8: but it wouldn't have been fair to Ryan Craig to
Speaker 8: throw him into the fire with the eight games to
Speaker 8: go in the regular season. John Tortorella did exactly what
Speaker 8: he was supposed to do for forty five days and
Speaker 8: did it well and got paid handsomely to do it,
Speaker 8: and now is back on the market to go to
Speaker 8: the highest bidder. It might be a win win for Tortorella.
Speaker 8: And it shows to me that, you know, Kelly McCrimmon
Speaker 8: and George McFee do things differently in Vegas and it's
Speaker 8: always to the benefit of the hockey club. So it
Speaker 8: doesn't surprise me. And it's one of those things where
Speaker 8: torts has proved to where everybody that he again can
Speaker 8: coach in this league. And we'll get another chance somewhere,
Speaker 8: maybe not at the start of a season, but you know,
Speaker 8: darn well, the moment some coaches names start to pop
Speaker 8: up as who's in trouble this week? You know, Bruce
Speaker 8: Cassidy and John Tarterella's names will be at the top
Speaker 8: of the list.
Speaker 3: John, I don't know if you want to talk about this,
Speaker 3: but back to Hockey Night in Canada for a second
Speaker 3: when it existed. But Ron McClay, he apologized for his
Speaker 3: Game six roofie comment, and neither the apology or the
Speaker 3: comment went over well on social media. What's your best
Speaker 3: guest as to his future?
Speaker 8: Honestly, Donny, I don't know. I know Ron well, we
Speaker 8: talk every once in a while. Still I have never
Speaker 8: asked him what his future will be. You know, this
Speaker 8: is a watershed summer for Rogers and hockey in so
Speaker 8: many ways. Because there's no branding of Hockey Night in
Speaker 8: Canada in the fall, this gives that company an opportunity
Speaker 8: to quite frankly, reinvent the wheel for Saturday night hockey.
Speaker 8: So whether Ron is part of that or not, I
Speaker 8: know there are a great many Rogers executives that absolutely
Speaker 8: adore what Ron has managed for them over the years
Speaker 8: since they took over the package twelve years ago. So
Speaker 8: there's a I think a great deal of loyalty to
Speaker 8: Ron within the Rogers family. But who knows what the
Speaker 8: future holds for many of the broadcasters at Rogers at
Speaker 8: this point as we wait and figure out who has
Speaker 8: what rights holders have what night. In addition to Rogers
Speaker 8: claiming that they will have hockey on Saturday nights.
Speaker 3: Okay, As for your future, John, just so you know,
Speaker 3: check is in the mail. You'll be getting paid eleven
Speaker 3: dollars for this hit, one dollar from what you got
Speaker 3: paid by Hockey Nay in Canada when you were starting out.
Speaker 8: And all I really wanted, Donnie, all I really ever
Speaker 8: wanted was lunch with Rick.
Speaker 1: Oh and next one that didn't happen.
Speaker 3: He didn't inform us next trip to Toronto.
Speaker 1: It's you and I, Pale, You and I, You and I.
Speaker 8: Okay, So if you want some good hockey night stories, ah.
Speaker 3: Oh your book for our podcast listeners. The book is
Speaker 3: called Evolver Die. The author this man right here, John Channon.
Speaker 3: One more question.
Speaker 8: And by the way, there's a really good picture of
Speaker 8: me in a baby blue blazer. And somebody actually looked
Speaker 8: at the picture and said, who's that.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Well there you go. You're still a handsome guy. What
Speaker 3: are you talking about? Okay?
Speaker 1: John, the baby boo blazer.
Speaker 3: That's what I was going to ask you. Have you
Speaker 3: got one or have you got that one?
Speaker 8: No, A, it wouldn't fit anymore.
Speaker 9: And B.
Speaker 8: It was disposed of the day I was fired the
Speaker 8: first time from Hockey nighting in Canada at a bar
Speaker 8: in Calgary, and it hung in the rafters on the
Speaker 8: bar in Calgary.
Speaker 3: That that that story is in the book too, so oh, perfect, perfect.
Speaker 3: I'll be sure to read it. I've got a long
Speaker 3: plane trip ahead of me. I'm gonna grab your book
Speaker 3: and I'm never read it.
Speaker 10: They make that promise you'll, by the way, it's about
Speaker 10: for a guy like you, it's about a six hour
Speaker 10: read and it's uh, you know so many people in
Speaker 10: the in the book, Donna that you'd have fun, you'd
Speaker 10: enjoy reading it.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, you know what that last answer was, so good?
Speaker 3: Make it twelve dollars. John, we'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 1: Have a good day, boys, you bet.

Speaker 1: What's your reaction to CBC no longer airing Hockey Night
Speaker 1: in Canada. Leading the way right now is indifference followed
Speaker 1: by sadness at forty one percent, and then anger moving up.
Speaker 1: It was at six now it's at fourteen percent. And
Speaker 1: there you go. Hockey Night in Canada, which now, when
Speaker 1: CBC was the only one doing sports in this country,
Speaker 1: it was great and they had great Don Whitman. I
Speaker 1: missed Don Whitman. I missed the voice they had. CBC
Speaker 1: had voices that you still Jim Robson, Don Whitman, who
Speaker 1: did CFL two, you know.
Speaker 3: Bob Cole, Foster, Hulett, Bill Hewett, Foster Hewitt's son. Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: Jim Robson wasn't on Highky Night in Canada enough if
Speaker 3: you asked me.
Speaker 1: He did the Islanders Flyers Game six, he did that series,
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup Final, but he wasn't not enough, No,
Speaker 1: I know, I know absolutely he was not.
Speaker 3: He was a BC guy. Mind, your sol was John Shannon.
Speaker 3: He worked there for a long time. Do you have
Speaker 3: a favorite honking in Canada personality?
Speaker 1: Well, Don Jerry, obviously, I mean it's not even closed.
Speaker 3: A lot of people would disagree with you. He rubbed
Speaker 3: some people the wrong way.
Speaker 1: And we didn't have this. You could tape this crap
Speaker 1: today and then go back go somewhere else. We had
Speaker 1: to run to the television, leave our hockey game to
Speaker 1: go see Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Hold on a second. He was in the eighties when
Speaker 3: you had VCR. No, no, you didn't have the ability
Speaker 3: to record like you do now on VCRs.
Speaker 1: Did you have a VCR? Of course I had a
Speaker 1: vc I had to go to Tom's Video to videos
Speaker 1: all maybe that was the wrong place to go, not
Speaker 1: Tom's getting I mean, just no, it was Tom's Video,
Speaker 1: the local video store. We went and got videos and
Speaker 1: then popped him in who didn't have a VCR? Did
Speaker 1: you did you know how to record?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, But I'm going back a little bit before
Speaker 1: the v I'm going into the seventies. Just listen to me.
Speaker 3: Cherry wasn't on coaches Corner.
Speaker 1: Just never listen to me. Just listen to me.
Speaker 3: We ran, I am listening.
Speaker 1: We ran to the television to make sure we didn't
Speaker 1: miss Don Cherry. We would stop a road hockey game.
Speaker 1: Everybody goes see Cherry and then come back. Bottom line,
Speaker 1: But you're not really answering the question.
Speaker 4: You record using a VHS machine.
Speaker 1: I don't think I did. Yeah, there's no way with you.
Speaker 3: And how technologically even I could do it, But there's
Speaker 3: no way he did at home. Well, you said using
Speaker 3: a VHS. Keep in mind you had the choice between
Speaker 3: VEDA and beta and VHS back in the day. You
Speaker 3: don't remember that. Hey, you go to the movie store
Speaker 3: and they'd have movies in either VHS or Beta. And
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, television stations are working at CKVU. Everything
Speaker 3: was Sony, it was all it was all beta, but
Speaker 3: VHS dominated a laser is Oh that was era.
Speaker 1: That that stuff.
Speaker 3: That was a very very short era.
Speaker 1: That was it. I spent forty minutes trying to get
Speaker 1: a White Caps game last year. I'm done. I'm done.
Speaker 1: You should be able to sit in your living room
Speaker 1: and push two buttons and get your game. Now we're
Speaker 1: heading into a time where we have to spend twenty
Speaker 1: minutes looking for a game. It's bs, you're the only
Speaker 1: one to spend twenty minutes. And back in the day,
Speaker 1: we had the We just turned the knob on the channel,
Speaker 1: the knob, Donny, and just turned it and you got
Speaker 1: your just go back to the knob. Was what was
Speaker 1: wrong with the knob?
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what was wrong with the knob he
Speaker 3: here's the number one problem I had. No I was
Speaker 3: my dad's remote.
Speaker 1: Yes, you know you Channel four, Bruce King's on, put
Speaker 1: Tony Parsons on. You know I had to go put
Speaker 1: Tony Parsons on at six o'clock every day.
Speaker 3: Okay. So in terms of favorite all time hockey night
Speaker 3: in Canada, personnelite, by the way I I Kevin Biex
Speaker 3: and Elliott Friedman right now are absolutely fabulous. You can
Speaker 3: say h you want about Ron mcclan and what happened
Speaker 3: in Game six. Yeah, one of my alt and people
Speaker 3: know I knew I know Ron from our days to
Speaker 3: get other in Red Deer that we worked at opposing
Speaker 3: radio stations. Don Cherry's just fabulous. And the way Don
Speaker 3: Cherry got let go was just shameful. What Don Cherry
Speaker 3: was doing on that infamous day was standing up for Canada.
Speaker 3: That was the focus of what he was saying. It
Speaker 3: got misconstrued and the you know, the cancel culture mob
Speaker 3: came and got him and it's a shame. Bob Cole,
Speaker 3: Harry Neil Howie, meet her. You mentioned. But I want
Speaker 3: to mention somebody who for me Top three play by
Speaker 3: play announcer. He did a lot of Montreal games, Danny Gallavan.
Speaker 3: Now I've the late great did Danny Galvan. Now We've
Speaker 3: run this clip five hundred times. It's from hockey Night
Speaker 3: in Canada. I don't think this is necessarily from a
Speaker 3: Saturday night, but I just love this. This is from
Speaker 3: nineteen We got the clip Derek nineteen seventy nine. Bruins
Speaker 3: habs Halbs in danger of being eliminated a game seven
Speaker 3: down a goal to the hated of Boston Bruins in
Speaker 3: Montreal and Ghee and Danny take over.
Speaker 11: Fifty five seconds left in the penalty.
Speaker 1: I'm in an on twenty seven.
Speaker 11: Seconds left in regulation time Boston for Montreal three. Lafleur
Speaker 11: coming out rather gingerly on the right side, he gives
Speaker 11: it into the mayorbacy La.
Speaker 3: Fuck.
Speaker 1: What could be more appropriate if.
Speaker 11: Anybody's Gonnacre for the Canadians than their gunner Guilaflur.
Speaker 3: He takes that drop path after.
Speaker 1: He initiated the player.
Speaker 11: He beat Jilbert with a hard flap shot from the
Speaker 11: right side, flowing on the far side.
Speaker 1: Glafleur then replaced into a.
Speaker 3: Frenchy again and they both left us said Danny Gallavan
Speaker 3: and the late great Guila Flur. When I was at
Speaker 3: Sports Page, I was sent by Paul Carson, the late
Speaker 3: great Paul Carson to do a story on Danny Alvin.
Speaker 3: He was in town speak at some event, and I
Speaker 3: came back and I was so in love with the guy.
Speaker 3: I ended up doing a seven minute piece on him,
Speaker 3: putting together a seven minute piece with the help of
Speaker 3: an editor, and Paul had to inform me that it
Speaker 3: was way too long to cut. Just couldn't cut anything
Speaker 3: out because I just thought everything he said was gospel.
Speaker 3: He was so good and he uh he managed to
Speaker 3: tolld that line. I don't think he came across as
Speaker 3: a big Habs fan that was the worst, you know,
Speaker 3: you just think I was very very good. I wouldn't
Speaker 3: call him the worst.
Speaker 1: But they could be.
Speaker 3: There's still brag about him down love for that HAPs
Speaker 3: came hey, but.
Speaker 1: Let's focus on Danny here. He was just thinking, incredible,
Speaker 1: brought a game to life. His use of the English
Speaker 1: language was like no other. He was one of the
Speaker 1: greats of hockey I encountered. I don't think enough people
Speaker 1: talk of but we could go on and on about hockey.
Speaker 3: Night in Canada.
Speaker 1: It was Gingerly. I don't think anyone else used and ginger.
Speaker 3: Lee brew Haha. It's just he was just something else.
