Speaker 5: our director. The voice of God is Derek Wan.
Speaker 3: How are you? Oh?
Speaker 1: It's Friday.
Speaker 5: All sorts of positive response to our Wadlin dog poll
Speaker 5: question today. We'll get to that in a second. You'll
Speaker 5: see what we mean. First of all, we were negligent yesterday.
Speaker 5: Our friend Barkley Parnetta and the Vancouver Giants have parted
Speaker 5: ways Barkley GM for the last seven years with the Giants.
Speaker 5: We wish him the best. Wish to the Giants the
Speaker 5: best as well. Barkley are pretty much a regular on
Speaker 5: this show.
Speaker 3: We love them, we love them, and I.
Speaker 5: Think the most disappointing part of this piece of news
Speaker 5: tongue in cheek is that we don't get to run
Speaker 5: the barks has Bite commercial anymore. We could probably still
Speaker 5: run it once in a while for no reason at all,
Speaker 5: but there was a reason to do that when Barkley
Speaker 5: was a regular, our semi regular on the show. So
Speaker 5: all the best to Parnetta and the Vancouver Giants. More
Speaker 5: hockey in a bit, But I want to mention this.
Speaker 5: I know you were watching this game last night on
Speaker 5: one Soccer cruise. A Zoul defeats Puma one nill Thursday
Speaker 5: in Mexico. So it will be in the final of
Speaker 5: the CONCA CAF Champions Cup Cruise as well versus the
Speaker 5: Vancouver white Caps. That's on June first, and it's going
Speaker 5: to be in Mexico City, not at BC Place.
Speaker 3: And I believe June first is a Sunday and where
Speaker 3: the white Caps won this year in Mexico. Two or
Speaker 3: three times they've done really well.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, yep, they've advanced against the two Mexican sides,
Speaker 5: and then of course the victory over inter Miami, Messi
Speaker 5: and inter Miami.
Speaker 3: So there you go.
Speaker 5: You can all look forward to June first, and also
Speaker 5: look for it if you're a white Caps fan, if
Speaker 5: you're a soccer fan, if you're a Vancouver a sports fan,
Speaker 5: to more of the white Caps continue there MLS schedule
Speaker 5: versus Reale Salt Lake. The white Caps on top of
Speaker 5: the MLS table against Saturday, BC.
Speaker 3: Place, unbeaten in nine games. There you go, Vancouver Warriors.
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, we're all over the place today this first segment
Speaker 5: saying goodbye to Barkley, mentioning the mentioning cruise AZUL. Vancouver
Speaker 5: Warriors played tonight in Buffalo, Game one, best of three
Speaker 5: National Lacross the League Playoffs Semifinal. Game two go Sunday
Speaker 5: at Rogers Arena. You know the Canucks the way you
Speaker 5: know the Vancouver Canucks and what they're up to. Well,
Speaker 5: they're not up to much. Disappointing season, but all the
Speaker 5: success all around them, including the Vancouver Warriors. Kurt Maloski
Speaker 5: is going to join US head coaching Jim of the
Speaker 5: Warriors at the bottom of this hour.
Speaker 3: In our third.
Speaker 5: Segment, also let's get back to hockey. Here we mentioned
Speaker 5: all the success the Warriors, this Vancouver success minus the Canucks,
Speaker 5: the Warriors, the White Cap, Abbatsford Canucks. They beat Coachella
Speaker 5: Valley Down of California yesterday game one, three to one.
Speaker 3: Oh, Maddy Mahuldrop, who is going to be interviewed by
Speaker 3: the Canucks for the head coaching job. This guy keeps winning?
Speaker 3: Uh Sea Lov's great and goal twenty nine saves, Jet Wu, Danilla, Klemovic,
Speaker 3: Donnie and Gilliam breeseball with the goals.
Speaker 5: Game two Saturday. Yeah, and it's it's the best of five,
Speaker 5: like you say. Game two on Saturday. Then it switches
Speaker 5: to Abbotsford for the final three games I believe starting
Speaker 5: Wednesday next week, the final three games if necessary, certainly
Speaker 5: the third game, but yeah, all three of those games
Speaker 5: would be next week if necessary. What if Manny Maholtra
Speaker 5: and the Atbmosford Canucks if this role continues, you know
Speaker 5: what what happens with him? Is he going to get
Speaker 5: offers from not just the Vancouver but elsewhere. Hot Commodity
Speaker 5: but just just his first year as a head coach
Speaker 5: with this team, not a lot of head coaching experience
Speaker 5: at the pro level.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and don't forget Travis Green and Utica when he
Speaker 3: went to the American Hockey League Final. What happened Donnie?
Speaker 3: He got hired by the Canucks if he goes deep
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. But my biggest thing with the Knucks
Speaker 3: coaching search dot are they going to spend money or
Speaker 3: are they going to take the cheap route? So you're
Speaker 3: saying that Manny would be I'm not talking. I didn't
Speaker 3: put him in the cheap category. I'm saying cheaper than
Speaker 3: some people. Their offer to talk it at the end,
Speaker 3: it was big. Are they going to make another offer
Speaker 3: like that or are they going to go a little
Speaker 3: bit cheaper? That's the million dollar question in their coaching search.
Speaker 5: But it's a tough situation because if you really well,
Speaker 5: if you really well. First of all, they fired a
Speaker 5: head coach, so that's that. Not probably they parted ways
Speaker 5: with a head coach. Rick Talckett left the organization. There's
Speaker 5: no firing there from what we understand. But if Manny Halter,
Speaker 5: if they consider him a hot commodity, did you not
Speaker 5: want to hang on to him. It's so early in
Speaker 5: his career as a professional head coach. You know what,
Speaker 5: you get that question, do you go on? Well, let
Speaker 5: me maybe go somewhere else.
Speaker 3: Here's the great thing for manny molds in another wordanization.
Speaker 3: There's eight NHL opening, yes, eight, and there could be more.
Speaker 3: The LA Kings last night. Is that is that going
Speaker 3: to be another opening? I don't know. It could be nine,
Speaker 3: you know it could there could be other teams out
Speaker 3: in round one that fire their coach.
Speaker 5: And the news from the National Hockey League payoffs, but
Speaker 5: they're great to watch. I mean every night you go home,
Speaker 5: I turn on Check and then I go back and
Speaker 5: forth between Check and the National Hockey League playoffs. But
Speaker 5: it's just tremendous. We said going into these playoffs that
Speaker 5: it was so disappointing in a way, we look forward
Speaker 5: to this, that the Avalanche and Stars were going to
Speaker 5: meet in round one and lo and behold what happens
Speaker 5: They're going to go to They're going to go to
Speaker 5: seven games. Just just tremendous entertainment. And McKinnon's goal last
Speaker 5: night up in the air off Blackwell, it was there.
Speaker 3: Were no there was one screenshot.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you watch the game where there
Speaker 5: were no Avalanche in the pitcher, there was nobody there.
Speaker 3: McKinnon had been peeled, I was no and they had the.
Speaker 5: End up scoring and the and and that and that
Speaker 5: was it, And that was just a just a tremendous
Speaker 5: night of entertainment in Colorado and pretty much everywhere else
Speaker 5: in the National hockey.
Speaker 3: He go Toronto, Lowton the block shot late in the game.
Speaker 3: That's the sacrifice of the playoffs. You know, Edmonton comes
Speaker 3: back from to nothing down. If you're the Kings today,
Speaker 3: you've lost four straight years in road don to the Oilers.
Speaker 3: To the Oilers, Like what happens if they meet in
Speaker 3: the first round again next year? I'm gonna guess the
Speaker 3: Oilers will win. Yeah, four years. Can you imagine losing
Speaker 3: to the same team four years?
Speaker 5: People talked about the Kings being favorites. Wow, but can
Speaker 5: you really is that really the case when you're taking
Speaker 5: on McDavid. Yeah, once they get up too, I guess
Speaker 5: at that point you'd think they'd be able to lock
Speaker 5: it down, especially with that home ice record.
Speaker 3: But McDavid and dry settle around the Oilers.
Speaker 5: But you know, what what did they combine for I
Speaker 5: think to two points in the last two games.
Speaker 3: It was there.
Speaker 5: It was their depth guys that won that problem. And
Speaker 5: Calvin Pickard as well well.
Speaker 3: And Pickard four wins in a row. Picker, watch it.
Speaker 3: He came in last year and look at him. Now.
Speaker 3: Skinner gave up twelve goals in the first two games.
Speaker 3: They go to Pickard, He's won fo in a row.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but all those Skinner came back last year.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So Also when you talk about sacrifices in the in
Speaker 5: the National Hockey League or just you know, the just
Speaker 5: how courageous players are? You mentioned the block shot. Victor Hedman,
Speaker 5: We understand played that Panther series with the broken leg rick.
Speaker 3: There is no other sport. I'm sorry, and I say
Speaker 3: this all the time. Hockey players are the toughest players
Speaker 3: on this planet. Victor Hedman played through a broken lake
Speaker 3: in round one of the playoffs. Think about that. First,
Speaker 3: she's of Bob Bond. You got soccer players a little
Speaker 3: kick on the shin doing somersaults because they're oh, you
Speaker 3: got NBA players. You know what is it when they
Speaker 3: get arrest? What's it called load management? Load management? This
Speaker 3: we got Rasmus Anderson played the last twelve games for
Speaker 3: Calgary with the broken lake Victor hebnan broken leg. Hockey
Speaker 3: players are the toughest players on this planet and football
Speaker 3: players are next. But don't ever lump basketball players and
Speaker 3: don't love soccer players in with hockey.
Speaker 5: The lacrosse and rugby because lacrosse is.
Speaker 3: Tough to uh, rugby too in a scrum, and rugby I.
Speaker 5: Think boxing and m m A is pretty tough as well.
Speaker 5: There's a lot, but hockey's right up there and they
Speaker 5: revel in it.
Speaker 3: They love it.
Speaker 5: It's part of part part of the culture. Okay, so
Speaker 5: we mentioned Victor hebben By the way Mike Sullivan, we
Speaker 5: knew this wasn't gonna happen. Mike, Mike Sullivan wasn't going
Speaker 5: to return to Vancouver. He's been hired by the New
Speaker 5: York Rangers as expected.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: But back to Tampa Bay for a second. We mentioned
Speaker 5: Victor Hedman. Giome Breezebois, head honcho of the Tampa Bay Landing,
Speaker 5: has made it clear John Cooper is going to be back.
Speaker 5: There was some talk that he would be let go
Speaker 5: and uh maybe be available to come back.
Speaker 3: To his home province. Of BC. He's a BC boy,
Speaker 3: Prince George. I. I ran into Cooper at the Save
Speaker 3: on Foods last summer. I think his dad. No, seriously, yeah,
Speaker 3: I think his dad. What section was it? His dad
Speaker 3: lives in White Rock, so he I saw him. He
Speaker 3: was at the counter checking out. Did you say I
Speaker 3: do him?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: I I because my lady that was checking me out
Speaker 3: forever I had too many groceries and I wanted to
Speaker 3: say hi, and then he kind of ran out, and
Speaker 3: but the lady that was that story had the worst
Speaker 3: ending ever. I thought you were going to with that.
Speaker 3: I told the lady, I said, can you speed it up?
Speaker 3: There's John Cooper. I want to go say hi to him.
Speaker 3: And she took forever and and hate that. I hate
Speaker 3: dad and Cooper and his dad went out into the
Speaker 3: parking lot. I went looking in the parking lot, couldn't
Speaker 3: find him.
Speaker 5: I had a similar experience with Patrick Alvin really oh
Speaker 5: at the gas station.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Then I thought to myself, everybody the Canucks hates our show.
Speaker 5: So I don't know if I wanted to introduce myself,
Speaker 5: so I didn't.
Speaker 3: I didn't bother do I don't think Patrick Alvin is
Speaker 3: a fan of us.
Speaker 5: Well, he won't be after he checks out our poll question,
Speaker 5: the Wattling Dog poll question, and we're bringing this pole
Speaker 5: question up before we get to it. I just want
Speaker 5: to say this that oftentimes with our poll question, this
Speaker 5: is a little look you know, in behind behind the
Speaker 5: scenes scenes of Donnie and Dolly, the team on check.
Speaker 5: Our poll question is often a response to the responses
Speaker 5: we get, the inquiries we get in our Delaney's Okay
Speaker 5: tire in Langley and all the Grove indox. And this
Speaker 5: subject has come up a lot in the wake of
Speaker 5: Rick Tocket's departure, like what's going on with this organization?
Speaker 5: Maybe it's time for a rebuild. I can't believe you
Speaker 5: didn't get anything for broad Best or nothing for pe
Speaker 5: suitor before the deadline. Now they're going to go, you're
Speaker 5: not gonna get anything for him. So this subject has
Speaker 5: come up a lot, and the subject is Quinn Hughes.
Speaker 5: His contract expires in two seasons. After two seasons, it's
Speaker 5: going to be a UFA. Last time I checked. You
Speaker 5: know this no trade clause, he doesn't have one. No
Speaker 5: movement doesn't have a no movement clause. And a lot
Speaker 5: of people say, you know, is this the time, And
Speaker 5: you know, we talk a lot about the possibility of
Speaker 5: a rebuilt this is the time. Maybe you think about
Speaker 5: letting go of Quinn Hughes in a trading getting a
Speaker 5: massive haulback. Maybe not next this summer, maybe next summer,
Speaker 5: whatever the case may be.
Speaker 3: It's a great question. Waddeling Dog poll question.
Speaker 5: Visit one of Victoria's favorite pubs, The Dog, where you
Speaker 5: could enjoy twenty taps and twenty screens. You're home for
Speaker 5: the Canucks in UFC. Come sit and stay at the
Speaker 5: Dog today, all right.
Speaker 1: Ryan, get her up.
Speaker 3: The Waddling Dog pup poll question. When should the canuckstraate
Speaker 3: Quinn Hughes this summer, next summer? Never, He's going to resign?
Speaker 3: Almost eleven hundred votes is hopping. It's bop and it's
Speaker 3: really got some tracks. Your forty nine percent say never
Speaker 3: because he is going to resign. Thirty seven percent say
Speaker 3: this summer, fourteen percent say next summer. So there you go.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of positive people in Vancouver who don't
Speaker 3: think uh. They say never, he's going to resign. Boy
Speaker 3: oh boy, I wish boy, oh boy, I wish. I
Speaker 3: hope they have some evidence of that because Quinn Hughes
Speaker 3: has really got to look at his Vancouver gonna win.
Speaker 5: He's just been a wonderful player.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's and he's right there with Pavel Burray is
Speaker 3: one of the best players in franchise history. Donny next
Speaker 3: year is going to be big. Is he good? He
Speaker 3: They just got rid of a No, they just parted
Speaker 3: ways with the coach he loves. Right his good friend
Speaker 3: Brock Besser could be gone in eight weeks. You know,
Speaker 3: bo Horvat's gone. They're in disarray right now. They're in
Speaker 3: disarray right now. You know, it's been a tough year
Speaker 3: on Quinn Hughes. He played as well as he did
Speaker 3: with all the drama, with all the drama. He tried
Speaker 3: to fix Peterson Miller the feud. He tried. He tried.
Speaker 3: He was the captain. It was his job to try
Speaker 3: and fix it. Those two guys in that feud screwed
Speaker 3: the organization on so many levels.
Speaker 5: And he went on He has gone on record several
Speaker 5: times about just how much he admired Rick Talkin called
Speaker 5: him last off season the best coach he's ever had.
Speaker 5: So you just have to wonder how he feels about
Speaker 5: Talcket leaving the organization his decision. He leaves the organization.
Speaker 5: What does Quinn Hughes think about that?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 5: He has said, he's gone on record to saying, you know,
Speaker 5: and I'm paraphrasing here, that he's committed to this, that
Speaker 5: he's the captain. He really respects the fact that they
Speaker 5: made that choice to make him captain, and he would
Speaker 5: love to turn things around. But you have to be realistic.
Speaker 5: We talked about this yesterday. We've been around watching this
Speaker 5: team since nineteen seventy and the most connuct thing that
Speaker 5: could happen spring twenty twenty seven. They're fighting for a
Speaker 5: playoff spot, you know, trying to eke their way into
Speaker 5: the playoffs, maybe getting a couple of kind of like
Speaker 5: this year, maybe getting a couple of playoff home dates.
Speaker 5: Quenhes is still on the roster, going to be a
Speaker 5: UFA in a matter of weeks or a month or
Speaker 5: whatever the case may be. And they keep him hands
Speaker 5: up leaving for nothing.
Speaker 3: That they won't see that they there's no way, what
Speaker 3: do you mean they won't done? Are you crazy?
Speaker 1: What do they just do with best?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 3: You can't let a franchise player go for nothing. They
Speaker 3: if they get an indication he's not going to resign,
Speaker 3: they will load him up.
Speaker 5: You've been paying attention. Oh like Besser, what suitor? What
Speaker 5: going back to the Benning era? What management group? But
Speaker 5: this is a franchise player. You can't let him walk
Speaker 5: for nothing. Come on, but they did. They just did
Speaker 5: it with Besser.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Besser is not on the level of Hughes.
Speaker 3: No give talking franchise defense man. You can't see them.
Speaker 3: They get an inkling that Quinn's gone through Quinn and
Speaker 3: his agent, they will move him and get a ton
Speaker 3: of assets back. You can't let that guy walk for nothing. Done.
Speaker 3: Come on, you can't.
Speaker 5: But would you be surprised if they did? You know,
Speaker 5: all because you know you might get a couple of
Speaker 5: playoff dates.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Oh, I just think it's food for
Speaker 3: thought at the very least.
Speaker 5: And again, a lot of what we're doing here is
Speaker 5: in response to the inbox. We're getting a lot of
Speaker 5: people saying, is this the time.
Speaker 3: Quinn Hughes is the single most important player person in
Speaker 3: this franchise? Right now?
Speaker 5: There's what's coming up on the show DTMZ.
Speaker 3: Is it just me?
Speaker 5: In the eleven o'clock hour, Stuart Johnson is going to
Speaker 5: join us. The television executive a long time at TSN.

Speaker 5: Now at Bayside Resort, Parksville, Dot Comb. As the Stanley
Speaker 5: Cup playoffs continue, Sands the Vancouver Canucks, we bring in
Speaker 5: from the athletic Thomas Strants, our first chance to talk
Speaker 5: to him since the departure of Rick Cockett from Vancouver.
Speaker 3: Thomas, Thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 1: How are you doing well?
Speaker 6: Gentlemen? Thanks for having me.
Speaker 5: What was your reaction to that piece of news Rick
Speaker 5: Cockett no longer with the Canucks?
Speaker 6: You know, I wasn't shocked.
Speaker 7: I will say I think as the weak dragged on,
Speaker 7: the organization was surprised, but not shocked itself.
Speaker 6: There was a.
Speaker 7: Feeling internally that the longer this went, the more likely
Speaker 7: it was that he'd depart.
Speaker 6: You know, I do think there'd been at least some.
Speaker 7: Measure of thinking about sort of trade offs if they
Speaker 7: had to change coaches. That sort of occurred over the
Speaker 7: weekend and early next week, as I think the club
Speaker 7: began to read the writing on the wall, despite the
Speaker 7: fact that they'd been in you know, a sort of conversations,
Speaker 7: planning conversations, round table meetings with Rick Talckett about sort
Speaker 7: of what this team would look like and what the
Speaker 7: off season would look like. I think the part of
Speaker 7: it that didn't I wouldn't say caught me off guard,
Speaker 7: but that I thought was interesting was, you know, it's
Speaker 7: the head coach who trusts the management group involved, who's
Speaker 7: had success with them, you know, who sort of has
Speaker 7: built really close relationships, not just with key Canucks players
Speaker 7: like Quinn Hughes and Connor Garland, but you know, organizationally speaking,
Speaker 7: right is close with a variety of staffers from you know,
Speaker 7: the team's chef up through the sort of the ownership
Speaker 7: ranks and obviously up to the president of hockey Operations.
Speaker 7: And you know, I know that he wrestled long and
Speaker 7: hard with this decision, that it was not something that
Speaker 7: he decided to do lightly. And you know, I think
Speaker 7: the fact that ultimately it's difficult for me to interpret
Speaker 7: the decision as being sort of divorced from his assessment
Speaker 7: of how straightforward or how clean a path this franchise
Speaker 7: has to winning, right, given the uncertainty around all three
Speaker 7: of this team's best players, right, the injury uncertainty around
Speaker 7: Denco stemming from this season, the deterioration of the LEAs
Speaker 7: Petterson's play, Quinn Hughes's contract timeline, right. And then you
Speaker 7: think about sort of the internal dynamics, the difficulty of
Speaker 7: the year from Talket's perspective, but from a lot of
Speaker 7: people internally's perspective as well. And you know, you think
Speaker 7: about Talkeet's history, a guy who managed the Tampa Bay
Speaker 7: Lightning before they were the best practices Tampa Bay Lightning
Speaker 7: under Jeff Finnick, right, who worked for the laundromat Arizona
Speaker 7: Coyotes when they were the height of NHL dysfunction and
Speaker 7: under investment. And you know, he comes to Vancouver and
Speaker 7: it looks like he's got this path with the stable
Speaker 7: organization and people he's one with, and then this season
Speaker 7: occurs and I think you sort of throw all of
Speaker 7: that into the cauldron, as it were, stir it up,
Speaker 7: and you know, for a guy in his early sixties,
Speaker 7: who's as hard working and dedicated and as competitive as
Speaker 7: Rick Talkt is. You know, I sort of think about
Speaker 7: this through the lens of talk It, thinking to himself like,
Speaker 7: don't I owe it to myself at this point in
Speaker 7: my career to give myself the best chance.
Speaker 6: Possible to win?
Speaker 7: And you know that to me is sort of a
Speaker 7: heavy set of reflections both for the Canucks organizationally and
Speaker 7: for its fans in terms of what comes next.
Speaker 3: And what is going to be next the new coach.
Speaker 3: I think the biggest question with a new coach, Thomas,
Speaker 3: is when we find out, do you think they're gonna
Speaker 3: spend big on the new coach or go cheap? Which
Speaker 3: direction they go? There will decide the new coach. Should
Speaker 3: they spend big bucks here go cheap?
Speaker 7: I think you spend big bucks if it's the right
Speaker 7: I you know what, I I don't think you need
Speaker 7: to ben big just to bring in Peter Laviolette because
Speaker 7: there's a relationship there and because it's the name.
Speaker 6: And because it would help you win the press conference. Like,
Speaker 6: I don't think that's the right play.
Speaker 7: You know, I don't have a problem with a team
Speaker 7: finding an elite American league bench boss and trusting that
Speaker 7: guy to do the work.
Speaker 6: You think about Spencer.
Speaker 7: Carberry, who's up for the Jack Adams. I know he's
Speaker 7: a big fan of your show, and I'm a big
Speaker 7: fan of his work.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 6: I like when I'm on it. No, I love your show.
Speaker 7: You guys rock the you know, But Spencer Carberry was
Speaker 7: an American league bench boss, an elite American league bench
Speaker 7: boss who's translated immediately at the NHL level. John Cooper
Speaker 7: was an elite HL bench bench boss. Jared Bednar an
Speaker 7: elite AHL bench boss. Like, I like going out and
Speaker 7: finding sort of one of, if not the best American
Speaker 7: league coaches and giving them a long look. You know,
Speaker 7: if you're talking about guys in that sort of Todd
Speaker 7: Nelson in range, like, I'm interested. That piques my interest
Speaker 7: as much as hiring a top NHL assistant or hiring,
Speaker 7: you know, a retread coach. So you know, I would
Speaker 7: I would think that given the fact that this organization
Speaker 7: was willing to open up the war chest for talcket right,
Speaker 7: that you hope that money.
Speaker 6: Won't be the sticking point.
Speaker 7: Then it'll be maybe part of the equation, but not
Speaker 7: the determinative factor in who this Canucks team lands. At
Speaker 7: this point in this franchise's history, it's readily apparent that
Speaker 7: they need the right person, not the maybe or they
Speaker 7: need the right person, they don't need the right price
Speaker 7: point in naming Rick Talcket's successor this summer, I think
Speaker 7: that's abundantly clear.
Speaker 1: Out of Foot.
Speaker 3: Uh, he's going to get looks, he's going to get interviews,
Speaker 3: he's gonna I mean, but just if you go with
Speaker 3: let's see, let's say you go with Maddy Maholtra, you
Speaker 3: got to make sure there's experience there on the bench
Speaker 3: with him. Yes, you you can't just go Maddy Mahultra
Speaker 3: and then have the the Dean Twins there or you know,
Speaker 3: someone would not experience. Adam Foot, if they ever could
Speaker 3: retain him, would be pretty huge.
Speaker 6: As a head coach.
Speaker 1: No, No, as an assistants.
Speaker 7: Oh man, I feel like that's going to be very,
Speaker 7: very difficult, just in terms of you know, first of all,
Speaker 7: I expect him to garner head coaching interest. I wouldn't
Speaker 7: be shocked at all if he ends up being part
Speaker 7: of the Canucks process. And you know, if he doesn't
Speaker 7: end up being a head guy, I would imagine that
Speaker 7: you know, Talkeet's staff not unlike what we saw a
Speaker 7: few years ago with Tortorella and Brad Shaw in Philadelphia, right,
Speaker 7: I mean, the you know, it's it's important.
Speaker 6: It's vital for a coach to have their guy.
Speaker 7: Especially the guy who runs the defense, who they know
Speaker 7: they're in lockstep with. And you know, I think in
Speaker 7: terms of keeping him as an assistant, especially in a
Speaker 7: world where talking ends up with one of the well
Speaker 7: moneyed Eastern Conference teams, one of the NHL's blue butt bloods,
Speaker 7: you know, that's probably.
Speaker 6: A pretty difficult trick to pull off. I think, you know,
Speaker 6: at this.
Speaker 7: Point, my expectation would be that Talktt will be some
Speaker 7: part of this process from a Canucks perspective, and I
Speaker 7: know the club would love to keep him, but I
Speaker 7: almost wonder if you don't promote him, do you have
Speaker 7: a path to doing that? And that's not me reporting,
Speaker 7: that's just me reading the tea leaves here, But that's
Speaker 7: sort of how I view that situation in terms of
Speaker 7: foots head coaching candidacy. I think it's interesting because he's
Speaker 7: never been a head coach at the professional level, right,
Speaker 7: I mean, he had one season in Kelowna, in the
Speaker 7: WHL and it wasn't a super successful season, you know.
Speaker 7: I mean I worry, for example, about Manny Malhotra's experience,
Speaker 7: and not not that I don't think he's experienced enough
Speaker 7: so much as given the difficulty around this team stemming
Speaker 7: from this season and the stakes for the organization of
Speaker 7: getting it right. You know, if Malhotra is your choice,
Speaker 7: and even if you think he's the right guy, are
Speaker 7: you putting him in a fair position to succeed right?
Speaker 6: I mean, that would be my concern.
Speaker 7: And at least Malhotra has got a full year of
Speaker 7: professional head coaching experience under his belt, you know, So
Speaker 7: that would be the sort of one thing that would
Speaker 7: certainly make me raise my eyebrows in talking about or
Speaker 7: thinking about Foots candidacy for the head coaching job. Although, man,
Speaker 7: it's clear that he's a very talented teacher, and you know,
Speaker 7: he got a lot out of this defensive group, there
Speaker 7: can be no question about that.
Speaker 5: Talking with Thomas Drants, Thomas, you brought up a name
Speaker 5: there that I think a lot of people in this
Speaker 5: market may have forgotten about. This is a couple of
Speaker 5: answers ago, and that's that's Todd Nelson, who had a
Speaker 5: short run as an infrom head coach with the Evanton
Speaker 5: Oders that missed the playoffs. This is back in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 5: twenty fifteen. He's one called trophies with Calder Cups rather
Speaker 5: as a head coaching grand rap. It's a couple in Hershey,
Speaker 5: you mentioned his name. Would he be considered a strong
Speaker 5: candidate in your estimation?
Speaker 7: Well, I mean I think he's a strong candidate for
Speaker 7: any of these vacancies. You know, after the absolute A
Speaker 7: list guys, I you know, struggled understand why this guy
Speaker 7: wouldn't get a shot. You know, we've again we've seen
Speaker 7: like the best profile of head coach to bet on
Speaker 7: is elite American league coach. This guy's won three of
Speaker 7: the last four Calder Cup trophies that he has competed
Speaker 7: for with his teams, you know, and and that was
Speaker 7: separated with a pretty successful stint as an assistant coach
Speaker 7: on Rick Bonus's staff in Dallas. I mean, you know,
Speaker 7: I just I look at this and just say, I mean,
Speaker 7: if you're looking for a merit base, let's go find
Speaker 7: the best coach we can find. You know, given the profile,
Speaker 7: given what succeeds at the NHL level from from first
Speaker 7: time NHL head coaches or you know, roughly first time
Speaker 7: NHL head coaches. Todd Nelson's never had a chance with
Speaker 7: the full team. I mean, profile of guy who always
Speaker 7: wins sounds pretty good to me.
Speaker 6: Boys, What do you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, well kind of fans will take time.
Speaker 6: Right who always wins? Yeah, Like, that's what I want
Speaker 6: on my resume. That's what I want on my head
Speaker 6: coach's resume.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, but you may.
Speaker 5: You made the point about Cooper and bed Gnar and
Speaker 5: carb room where they cut their teeth. You know what,
Speaker 5: This show is at its best when you're on it, Thomas.
Speaker 1: Was it official now? It wouldn't go that far.
Speaker 3: It's official now.
Speaker 6: All the people turn it off when my ugly mug appears.
Speaker 5: Looking good, buddy, don't don't, don't let them get to you.
Speaker 1: Thanks for this, Thomas, Thanks, boys, appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Thomas Grant's the athletic. So there's a name.
Speaker 5: I don't know about you, but I haven't heard much
Speaker 5: about it, and that's Todd Nelson, And people may have
Speaker 5: forgotten his unsuccessful I want to call it a run
Speaker 5: because it was he had one year within the Oilers staff,
Speaker 5: you know, the first part of the season as an
Speaker 5: assistant that he takes off as a head coach. They
Speaker 5: missed the playoffs twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. Mind you know that,
Speaker 5: I think about it. Twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. You don't
Speaker 5: want to be in the playoffs. That year they were
Speaker 5: in the lottery. Yeah, that's twenty fifteen draft. This guy's
Speaker 5: this There should be a statue for him that's outside
Speaker 5: of Rogers Place in Edmonton. Well in the lottery that
Speaker 5: you aren't got themselves, McDavid. But he did, as Thomas mentioned,
Speaker 5: three Calder Cup championships, one with Grand Rapids, A two
Speaker 5: with Hershey, A the two with Hershey in the last
Speaker 5: couple of seasons since getting back to the going going
Speaker 5: back to the American Likely League, and he had a
Speaker 5: run as an assistant with Dallas in between. That's the
Speaker 5: name we haven't heard anything about.
Speaker 3: But to take a guy from another American League team
Speaker 3: when Maddy's doing what he's doing in your backyard, it's
Speaker 3: a tough question. It's a tough I don't see that happening,
Speaker 3: but who knows.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got a break, Okay, a break will update
Speaker 5: the poll question next Donny Delling the team on Jet.

Speaker 5: coach GM with the Vancouver Warriors Big game tonight in Buffalo,
Speaker 5: brought to you by our friends at the Bayside Oceanfront Resort.
Speaker 3: Again. It is the Vancouver Warriors.
Speaker 5: National Cross League Semifinal tonight in Buffalo against the Buffalo Bandits.
Speaker 5: Game two Sunday at Rogers Arena, Game three if necessary,
Speaker 5: Saturday May tenth, in Buffalo. Bakurt doesn't want to talk
Speaker 5: about games two games three. He iss here to talk
Speaker 5: about Game one tonight in Buffalo, Live from Upstate New York.
Speaker 5: A regular on this show these days, Kurt and MALASKI,
Speaker 5: how you doing, sir.
Speaker 1: Good guys, Thanks for having me on again. I'm getting
Speaker 1: used to it, and like, how much.
Speaker 5: Fun are you having right now? With all this winning
Speaker 5: going on? Seven straight wins?
Speaker 6: It's been good.
Speaker 8: It's been you know, it's been good for our fans,
Speaker 8: it's been good for the organization, good for the province,
Speaker 8: and you know, we just got to keep it going.
Speaker 5: Hey, Kurt, seven straight wins and we hear so much
Speaker 5: about Christian del Bianco and Keegan Ball, but what other
Speaker 5: players are stepping up for? What other players are stepping
Speaker 5: up for you right now?
Speaker 8: I think go On Grant's been really strong, you know,
Speaker 8: he's getting the ball up and down the floor. I
Speaker 8: thought Jeff Cornell's had a phenomenal second half of the season.
Speaker 8: He's finally healthy and he's getting up and down the
Speaker 8: floor well, and he's doing his feed and being physical.
Speaker 8: And I think up front like it kind of is
Speaker 8: one of our older guys. It's Kevin Crowley. He's been
Speaker 8: playing really well and up creating a lot of space
Speaker 8: for keeping Balie that a couple of goals last game
Speaker 8: in the playoff games. So you know, those are a
Speaker 8: couple of guys I consider all day talk with everyone,
Speaker 8: but those be a couple jump out at me.
Speaker 1: Hey, Kurt, it doesn't matter what sport.
Speaker 3: Defense wins championships against Rochester six block shots, eternal verse,
Speaker 3: three for three on the PK. That's got to continue
Speaker 3: in your eyes, Kurt.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you got to win the special team games, no question.
Speaker 8: And that's a big part of it. And yeah, you
Speaker 8: know we're built from the goaltender out, and you know
Speaker 8: that's something that we put ourselves on. So it you know,
Speaker 8: that translates straight through the team. And the fact that
Speaker 8: if you get big stops at the back end and
Speaker 8: they're one and done possessions and your offense gets those
Speaker 8: clocks that we talked about grinding down and it takes
Speaker 8: a little bit of pressure off of them and the
Speaker 8: fact that they don't they don't.
Speaker 6: Squeeze their sticks.
Speaker 8: So built from the back end out, but it translates
Speaker 8: to the whole team.
Speaker 3: Hey, you guys got the great goalie, but so it
Speaker 3: is Buffalo Matt Vink. This guy's leading all goalies in
Speaker 3: the playoffs, and say percentage, how tough is it going
Speaker 3: to be to score on this guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not easy, you know what.
Speaker 8: They jam it in and they have a lot of
Speaker 8: shop blockers. They actually got a lot of guys just
Speaker 8: standing in front of the net and the crease and
Speaker 8: they just you got to shoot through five, five, five
Speaker 8: or six guys and it's tough. But you know what
Speaker 8: I want. Watched San Diego last week. They they played
Speaker 8: on the outside, they didn't get to the middle. Hopefully
Speaker 8: we can get some schemes to get our guys to
Speaker 8: the middle of the floor. You know, Bave, you know,
Speaker 8: only let in four last game, but you know, I
Speaker 8: like to think that it's tough to do again. And
Speaker 8: you know, we're going to test him early and often.
Speaker 8: We'll make them work for it, for sure.
Speaker 5: You sound you sound pretty pumped up right now. I
Speaker 5: know you're busy, Kurt and all that, But uh my nephew,
Speaker 5: Doug Taylor, friend of yours, just texted me moments ago.
Speaker 5: He needs some tickets for Sunday, So forget about the
Speaker 5: game tonight.
Speaker 1: If you could.
Speaker 3: Focus on that in the next hour, Kurt, we'd really
Speaker 3: appreciate it. Thanks for this, buddy.
Speaker 5: Tell Douggie's got him all right, Okay, thanks, great, has
Speaker 5: to text you. I got these relatives. They always talk
Speaker 5: about our show and tell me what we need to
Speaker 5: do on our show. But apparently you don't know when
Speaker 5: our show is on because he texts me in the
Speaker 5: middle of the day.
Speaker 3: Can you get me some Warriors tickets? Golf?
Speaker 1: Dougie's the worst. He's your worst relative, no question matter.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that. Okay, what do we do?
Speaker 5: It's got some time here. Yeah, well, dog, let's do that.
Speaker 5: It's the Watling Dog poll question. Visit one of Victoria's
Speaker 5: as Rick came up with this poll. It is one
Speaker 5: of Victoria's favorite pubs where you can enjoy twenty caps,
Speaker 5: twenty screens. You're home for the Canucks in UFC. Come
Speaker 5: sit and stay at the Dog today. No shortage of
Speaker 5: people in the inbox, the Delaney's inbox wondering if maybe
Speaker 5: the time to trade Quinn Hughes or at least consider it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And now waddling Dog puppole question win. Should the
Speaker 3: Canucks move Hughes this summer, next summer? Never he's going
Speaker 3: to resign? Never He's going to resign? Is leading at
Speaker 3: forty nine percent thirteen hundred votes already thirty seven percent
Speaker 3: say this summer and fifteen percent say next summer. Look,
Speaker 3: we have to talk about Quinn Hughes because he just
Speaker 3: lost his favorite coach in Vancouver. You know he might
Speaker 3: lose his good friend Brock Besser in a few weeks.
Speaker 3: Don you know? The Pederson's been in a funk this year?
Speaker 3: How happy is he? You know, his brothers are in
Speaker 3: New Jersey. He's a UFA. He could go play with
Speaker 3: the brothers, or for that matter, anywhere in a couple
Speaker 3: of years.
Speaker 1: So it is a question.
Speaker 3: It is a concern. And I would love to get
Speaker 3: his reaction to Rick Talckett leaving because he has stated
Speaker 3: that he loves Rick Tockett and Rick Tockett's his favorite
Speaker 3: coach of all time dot.
Speaker 5: But does that mean he's bound to leave in a
Speaker 5: couple of season? The cuts help the Cuttings have to
Speaker 5: get a sense of where is that? And he has
Speaker 5: said that he is so honored to be the captain
Speaker 5: of this team and he wants, he wants to do
Speaker 5: his best to turn things around. And I believe him.
Speaker 5: But I always just think to myself that New Jersey team,
Speaker 5: and look they were playing without their best player, his
Speaker 5: brother in the playoffs. There's a lot going on there
Speaker 5: for him to be watching his brothers down the line.
Speaker 5: If they have a lot of success, that'll be tough,
Speaker 5: and you wonder what that means for him and his
Speaker 5: future in Vancouver. I think people wouldn't understand that. But
Speaker 5: in the meantime, if you think, if you get a
Speaker 5: sense he's gonna leave.
Speaker 3: You have to jump on it.
Speaker 5: Maybe sooner the better because right now this is one
Speaker 5: of the best players in the league. That's a that's
Speaker 5: a team friendly contract.
Speaker 3: He's got. Absolutely you can get a lot for that.
Speaker 1: You nailed it.
Speaker 3: The most important thing is once Hughes and his agent
Speaker 3: tip the Canucks off, they want out move him right away.
Speaker 3: Get it done done, get it done. Okay, can we
Speaker 3: go down memory lane here? We got time for this,
Speaker 3: right ed Van imp Yeah. Flyer, Philadelphia Flyer.
Speaker 5: Has passed away at the age of eighty four. And
Speaker 5: if you don't know who he is, I didn't realize this.
Speaker 5: Nineteen sixty seven, he was a Calder Trophy runner up
Speaker 5: to Bob Yure. This is when he was playing with
Speaker 5: the Chicago Blackhawks. He moves on to play for the
Speaker 5: Philadelphia Flyers, spends several seasons there wearing number two, an
Speaker 5: important part of the broad Street Bullies and their two
Speaker 5: Stanley Cup championships in nineteen seventy four in nineteen seventy five,
Speaker 5: and he has left us at the age of eighty four.
Speaker 5: As I mentioned, those flyers were something else. I was
Speaker 5: afraid just his name sounded scary.
Speaker 3: Ed van Imp.
Speaker 5: Everybody on that run, they had scary names. Got about
Speaker 5: a there was do Moose DuPont. Moose DuPont scared them,
Speaker 5: scared of the names Bob how Dog Kelly, How Dog
Speaker 5: Kelly was there.
Speaker 3: So Ed van Imp gained a lot of notoriety and
Speaker 3: we ran this clip. Barry McDonald loved this clip.
Speaker 5: So much back in the day at ten forty. But
Speaker 5: Ed van Imp is the flyer who hit the late
Speaker 5: great Valerie Karlamov, who hit Valerie Karlamov. Van coming out
Speaker 5: of the penalty box, knocked down, knocked out Valerie Karlamov.
Speaker 5: The Russians were getting this was the Red Army team,
Speaker 5: not the Russian national team. They were getting hit left
Speaker 5: and right by the tough, tough flyers, and they didn't
Speaker 5: like it. They didn't like what van Imp was up to,
Speaker 5: and man it created all sorts of chaos to the
Speaker 5: point where the Russians left the ice. So we want
Speaker 5: to show you this as we go back to it
Speaker 5: was in nineteen seventy five. It was just cheiosh in Philadelphia,
Speaker 5: and it all started with ed Vanum.
Speaker 1: How it comes to the lion and this is kick
Speaker 1: maylob going down.
Speaker 9: The penalty is hover fires that post ran let pla.
Speaker 9: Oh again, Trlamov is really fulted by Vandam and.
Speaker 1: He's us playing on the ice and from.
Speaker 9: The penalty box ran into her lam Off a Soviet
Speaker 9: troll standing up.
Speaker 3: They want a penalty.
Speaker 9: But I'll tell you, Dick, that was a solid check
Speaker 9: and I didn't see too.
Speaker 1: Much wrong with it.
Speaker 10: They are leaving the eight, they're gonna go. The Soviets
Speaker 10: are leaving. They're going home. They're going home. Yeah, they're
Speaker 10: going home. Can you imagine then he's been a short afternoon.
Speaker 11: Oh it's terrible, acting like a very frustrated hockey club.
Speaker 11: And I think that it's playing forest sportsmanship. And you
Speaker 11: believe it, Dennis, I certainly can't believe it. I thought
Speaker 11: they'd have a little more pride and play the game.
Speaker 9: In seventy two, in Moscow.
Speaker 1: We stayed and we.
Speaker 9: Took it all and in seventy four and now no
Speaker 9: Philadelphia fires going around a little bit and they're going home.
Speaker 5: Oh there's no penalty. No, no penalty on the play.
Speaker 5: And that was supposed to be about Ed Van.
Speaker 3: Bob Cole kind of stole the show there.
Speaker 5: He was in the booth with Dick Irving and Danny
Speaker 5: Pottan who was playing for the Islanders back then it
Speaker 5: was nineteen seventy six, not nineteen seventy five. January eleventh,
Speaker 5: to be exacted. They came back and they finished the game.
Speaker 3: I missed those highlights on I could watch that all day.
Speaker 5: Ed Van leaving us at the age of eighty four.

Speaker 5: It's unsigned signed the text folks, you want to give
Speaker 5: you credit? Uh, I'm just gonna paraphrase here. But somebody
Speaker 5: mentioned that Todd Nelson is more than a valuable candidate.
Speaker 5: But don't forget about Mike Yo and we brought his
Speaker 5: name up yesterday. Or was doing some pretty special things
Speaker 5: with Travis Green in Ottawa, and I feel the same
Speaker 5: way about mike Yo in Ottawa as I felt about
Speaker 5: mike Yo and Vancouver. Like Rick Talktt was constantly talking
Speaker 5: to him on the bench. You saw him deferring to him,
Speaker 5: asking for advice. He saw that a lot with Travis
Speaker 5: Green in Ottawa. He's got a lot of respect. So
Speaker 5: an interesting name there, along with Todd Nelson, who Thomas Drantz.
Speaker 1: Brought up, Big Ry, Big Grab the Twitter guy. I
Speaker 1: brought to you by siriy Mitzubishi. Check out a vast
Speaker 1: selection of new and used vehicles Excepter, no carcare and
Speaker 1: customer service. Visit them one eight two zero one to
Speaker 1: Fourth Avenue in Surrey today or online anytime at Serri
Speaker 1: Mitsubishi dot CA. I don't think you guys talked about this,
Speaker 1: but I've got to be honest. I was tuning you
Speaker 1: out most of this hour. Good but the Jack Adams
Speaker 1: finalists are out in the National Hockey League right The
Speaker 1: finalists are Rick Talckett. Now I'm just kidding, Scott ar
Speaker 1: I had you for a second. Scott O'Neil, Spencer Carbury,
Speaker 1: friend of the show, loves Taylor and Martin Saint Louis
Speaker 1: in Montreal.
Speaker 3: Where's another friend of the show, of course, Travis Green. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a good point.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. But let's be honest. I think
Speaker 1: they had more of an up and down season than
Speaker 1: these other guys. I mean, look at Arneil make the
Speaker 1: playoffs for the first time. But Rick, that happened late, right,
Speaker 1: that happened Like when did the castererbou.
Speaker 3: Do you expect him to make the playoffs?
Speaker 1: But okay, who are you taking out Arneil? President Trophy winner?
Speaker 1: Carbury was Friend of the Show, So no, the second
Speaker 1: best team right in the NHL was the Caps. There's
Speaker 1: Carbury and Saint Louis am I in sant Lui or
Speaker 1: Green flip the coin. There was dead last. More was
Speaker 1: dead last in the NHL in December first, so he
Speaker 1: had one hell of a second half so obviously propelled them.
Speaker 5: Well, it's it's the Jack Adams Award. Is the Coach
Speaker 5: of the Year award. It's also the coach that has
Speaker 5: done the most with the least or the coach that
Speaker 5: has whose team has exceeded expectations.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's the case with all three of them.
Speaker 5: Nobody expected the Jets to first overall, Scott O'Neil.
Speaker 1: Maybe not first overall, but yeah, maybe you expected them
Speaker 1: to be first overall.
Speaker 3: I know that the regular seasons have been pretty good,
Speaker 3: that's the thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, they've been on an incline here over the
Speaker 1: lasted a while. Now, the bigger story here is once
Speaker 1: these whoever wins this, when they're fired next year, where
Speaker 1: will they end up? Because as you've been talking about that,
Speaker 1: what's been happening. We're talking Jack Adams winners, you're fired
Speaker 1: shortly thereafter because of one reason.
Speaker 3: Or you leave.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So in other words, maybe the Canucks should
Speaker 1: hire a short term head coach, right because Carbury's gonna
Speaker 1: get win this thing and get fired. He's gonna get
Speaker 1: fired right in the near term. Then bring him home.
Speaker 5: Why do you always go but you're the same way.
Speaker 5: You guys are always negative.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm having a little fun. I'm joking. I'm
Speaker 1: not expecting any of these guys to get fired. But
Speaker 1: it's interesting that, of course two of the coaches here
Speaker 1: faced off.
Speaker 3: In round one.
Speaker 1: My votes don't for Travis Green, of course.
Speaker 3: Just stop it.
Speaker 1: I was praying last night that they were going to
Speaker 1: find a way to eat that thing to seven games,
Speaker 1: no matter what happened. If the Leafs end up winning
Speaker 1: in seven, fine, but the sweat, the sweat factor over
Speaker 1: the next couple of days in Toronto is what I
Speaker 1: was hoping for.
Speaker 3: And again, you know, I like the least like the team.
Speaker 3: I know, it's just the cover else.
Speaker 1: Especially this version, right because now you have Tan f
Speaker 1: there easy to pull for. Morgan Riley, hometown kid. He's
Speaker 1: always easy to pull for. Right, you got the oel
Speaker 1: factor with Toronto. But no, you're right, it's the coverage
Speaker 1: that makes it. I mean Austin Matthews, Oh yeah, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna get that bag for sure. Okay, last night
Speaker 1: the other thing from last night, we were talking about
Speaker 1: the Leafs, but another thing, Vegas over Minnesota. Minnesota out.
Speaker 1: How about this? This is from OPTA stats. Okay, already
Speaker 1: paid attention. The Minnesota Wild of the first team in MLB, NBA, NFL,
Speaker 1: NHL history to make the playoffs eight plus times in
Speaker 1: a ten year span but lose in the opening round
Speaker 1: every single time. I mean, that's some pain for you.
Speaker 1: That is pain. Eight out of ten years, you make
Speaker 1: the well eight plus times by eight out of ten years,
Speaker 1: you make the postseason out in the first round every time.
Speaker 5: If you're a Minnesota fan, you wish they didn't have
Speaker 5: the injury as they did, particular the one the Caprice off.
Speaker 5: Yeah about Joel eric Knek as well. Maybe they finished higher,
Speaker 5: they don't have to play Vegas in the first round.
Speaker 5: It's also even though I mean, who knows.
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean yeah, but they made the playoffs with
Speaker 3: all that dead money. They should be given credit. They
Speaker 3: should be given credit. Next year they're gonna have cap space,
Speaker 3: but they got to give a.
Speaker 5: Ton of Hopefully their some a couple of their best
Speaker 5: players stay healthy.
Speaker 1: And is Brockbaster going to be in one of those
Speaker 1: uniforms next year?
Speaker 3: Or maybe Quinn will be traded?
Speaker 1: What do you know? What do you know? I never
Speaker 1: would Here's something. Are you are you reporting Brockbaster to Minnesota?
Speaker 3: Ryan if he hits July first, you don't think that
Speaker 3: the Minnesota while they're gonna call probably yeah.
Speaker 1: Probably everybody everybody goes down that too easily.
Speaker 3: He's from there. I know, I think you knew that.
Speaker 1: But as you bring up all the time, look at
Speaker 1: how many BC boys had a chance to play here
Speaker 1: and didn't take it.
Speaker 5: Right NHL, A lot of players don't want to play
Speaker 5: in their hometowns.
Speaker 3: I mean, look at, especially early on.
Speaker 1: Right things happen. Look at Brendan Dylan. We had on
Speaker 1: the show almost a year ago to the day, right,
Speaker 1: and he was essentially saying, I want to come home
Speaker 1: to Vancouver, and then what happened to.
Speaker 3: The Caducts offer or perceived offer was nowhere near the
Speaker 3: three point five million he got in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: So you go.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: The one thing I will say though, was Judd Brackett
Speaker 1: not part of the group that drafted brockbaster here in Vancouver?
Speaker 3: Yes? He was.
Speaker 1: And Judd Brackett is wearing now Rick. Yeah, but he's
Speaker 1: a scouting guy that if he was, he's in there.
Speaker 1: He's high up in the organization. He's not going to bed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's dealing with the junior hockey players. He doesn't make
Speaker 1: July first the decisions. The scouts would have some kind
Speaker 1: of information on players, though, would they not.
Speaker 3: Hey, the Brockbastard to Minnesota is impossibility. I mean, let's
Speaker 3: just leave it at that. You said done deal, mom, stop?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I tell you what you cannot question right now?
Speaker 5: Jud Brackett maybe the best name in the history organization.
Speaker 5: He doesn't get better than Judd Bracket.
Speaker 1: Hey, there's another guy that left this organization, remember that
Speaker 1: whole thing. He was another regime, another regime that was
Speaker 1: Benning and wise broadly screwed that one up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what happened, Well they did. They couldn't agree on
Speaker 3: the power of It came down to the power of
Speaker 3: the first back pick, and Benny wanted more, saying the
Speaker 3: first round pick, and Brackett said no. Brackett also didn't
Speaker 3: want to take Pod Colson. It was about that was
Speaker 3: a betting pick. He wanted to take Boldy in Minnesota.
Speaker 3: And what's bolding every guy who says that, like you, Okay,
Speaker 3: you asked me what happened? Now though I was saying, yeah.
Speaker 1: Benny wanted Cody Klass, maybe he was right. I mean,
Speaker 1: after all this, well, I can't believe I'm saying that.
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's true in there, because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of ghosts of of people passed.
Speaker 3: The people involved with the regime. But for Benning will
Speaker 3: tell you they wanted Dylan Larkin, not for Tannon. That's right.
Speaker 1: Hey, Well that Larkin may still end up here. Who
Speaker 1: knows what happens in Detroit. His gems feuding with him.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you guys saw calling him
Speaker 1: out in a roundabout way.
Speaker 3: That presser wasn't very good testing. He was very testy
Speaker 3: with the men. Yeah, but Donny, he hasn't done anything
Speaker 3: there since he got there. Like they're all over The
Speaker 3: media is all over them. You know, where's the Steve
Speaker 3: Good parts there? You know, really working.
Speaker 1: By the way, the broadcast was all over pud Colson's
Speaker 1: performance last night for Edmonton blocking it. He blocked a
Speaker 1: ton of shots last night. He had a scoring chance
Speaker 1: late that. He's the forces in that series. I think
Speaker 1: he's been good. And what did the Canucks have? Sweet Diddy?
Speaker 1: What did the Canucks get for pud Colson? A fourth
Speaker 1: thrown pair Brackett and the rights to Jed Brackett's Coming
Speaker 1: up next? For the first time on this program, we

Speaker 5: donning and unwined with island hospitality. Booked out at Bayside Resort,
Speaker 5: Parksville dot com join now by only appointed a CFL Commissioner,
Speaker 5: Stuart Johnson, who joins the CFL after long and distinguished
Speaker 5: career as at TSN executive fifteenth CFL Commissioner, replacing our
Speaker 5: friend Randy and Brosie. I spent close to three decades
Speaker 5: at TSN, where he advanced from an intern. Rick, you
Speaker 5: should listen to this. Maybe this will happen to you
Speaker 5: to network President Stewart joins us now, Stuart, thanks for
Speaker 5: doing this, sir.
Speaker 4: How are you I'm doing great. Good to see again.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hey, hey Stuart, you started at TSN in nineteen
Speaker 5: ninety seven as an intern. We know the business. What
Speaker 5: were your duties back then? We know what interns get
Speaker 5: up to.
Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, there was a lot of coffee, serving, a
Speaker 4: lot of printing for others, and I was I think
Speaker 4: my title was Junior Network scheduler And I can tell
Speaker 4: you I was so excited to be a part of
Speaker 4: that environment. They could have asked me to do anything.
Speaker 4: In fact, I think scrub the toilets was next, but
Speaker 4: it was. It was an amazing journey.
Speaker 5: So what is it about you? And I'm going to
Speaker 5: allow you to brag about yourself here was it? What
Speaker 5: is it about you that allowed you to rise from
Speaker 5: intern to TSN president to CFL commissioner.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll brag in a second. I'll start with with
Speaker 4: an acknowledgment and maybe be a little humble to say
Speaker 4: that kind of journey doesn't happen without some luck and
Speaker 4: and it also doesn't happen without incredible mentors, uh, and
Speaker 4: just a great group of people to work with. So
Speaker 4: that that that's a starting point. But perhaps you know
Speaker 4: it starts, It starts with passion for me, which leads
Speaker 4: to an incredibly strong work ethic. I love what I do.
Speaker 4: I love working with people. I like building relationships, and
Speaker 4: I like negotiating deals, and and all of that came
Speaker 4: together with the you know, with my career at TSN
Speaker 4: and then ultimately at Bell Media and some other roles,
Speaker 4: and then here I think that those same skills will
Speaker 4: apply as commissioner. I'm just so excited to be starting
Speaker 4: this journey.
Speaker 5: We all love working in broadcasting.
Speaker 3: It's addictive, it's a fun, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: You can get well paid.
Speaker 5: Was this a difficult decision to make this move to
Speaker 5: CFL commissioner?
Speaker 4: Yes, and no. It was difficult because I was living
Speaker 4: my first dream job, and in fact, you know, my
Speaker 4: recent expansion of my portfolio and the media business was
Speaker 4: to takeover leadership of the entire content team, which included
Speaker 4: all of non sports entertainment and new the news division,
Speaker 4: which was new to me. So I had continued to learn,
Speaker 4: continue to be excited by the media industry, and so
Speaker 4: that was tough to leave. But no, it was some
Speaker 4: difficult When I really sat back and chatted with my
Speaker 4: wife and we talked about you know, what's important to
Speaker 4: me and what and seeing you know, she knows what
Speaker 4: my history with football is. My history was sport, and
Speaker 4: to lead an organization like the CFL and its member
Speaker 4: clubs was just too great an opportunity to pass out.
Speaker 3: Stuart, You're talking to two guys that used to go
Speaker 3: to Empire Stadium in the seventies and in the eighties. Right here,
Speaker 3: we still go to lines games.
Speaker 2: Rah.
Speaker 3: One of the biggest problems I see is not enough
Speaker 3: young fans. And I see kids in their twenties doing
Speaker 3: NFL pools, NFL fantasy, this fantasy that I got two
Speaker 3: boys in the mid twenties. I can't get them to
Speaker 3: go to the lines game. How do you get younger fans?
Speaker 4: I think it's twofold. Number one. I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 4: go glass half full on your kids and their friends.
Speaker 4: Is they are enjoying football. They are enjoying the digital
Speaker 4: aspects of football in fantasy. And so I think of
Speaker 4: that as an opportunity if we as a lead can
Speaker 4: attract and reach that younger fan base with the appropriate
Speaker 4: content on the appropriate platforms, which isn't necessary to just
Speaker 4: get them to watch live games, but those same things
Speaker 4: that had them maybe initially engaged with the NFL, are
Speaker 4: totally applicable to the CFL. So I think there's work
Speaker 4: for us to do there. I think the social media
Speaker 4: teams at all the clubs are doing a fabulous job.
Speaker 4: Lots of room to continue to grow there. Same at
Speaker 4: the league office. So short term, I think it's about
Speaker 4: choosing your platform, getting the right content, because the sport
Speaker 4: lends itself to the younger generation's interests and your example
Speaker 4: proves that out. I think long term, I just want
Speaker 4: more kids playing football. And I think if you were
Speaker 4: going to Empire games back in the seventies and eighties,
Speaker 4: you love football and you you you get how fun
Speaker 4: a sport it is, and and so on. A long
Speaker 4: from a more long term vision is using flag. Use
Speaker 4: it the introduction of flag and the Olympics and get
Speaker 4: kids playing football. I think that makes them fans for life.
Speaker 3: Stuart, we know the CFL strong in the Prairies. Winnipeg
Speaker 3: has been on a huge role lately. I'm just doing
Speaker 3: really well. But Vancouver and Toronto have had troubles over
Speaker 3: the years. Sometimes Montreal, but you know, they've been up
Speaker 3: and down. But Toronto and Vancouver, how can you be
Speaker 3: more consistent there with bigger crowds.
Speaker 4: Well, I think that we've seen an incredible turnaround in
Speaker 4: success in Vancouver and Montreal, and Toronto has seen growth
Speaker 4: in attendance, albeit from a smaller base each of the
Speaker 4: last number of years. So what there is that the
Speaker 4: momentum is there, we've got and behind that momentum is
Speaker 4: incredible ownership. Those three, those three teams that you've mentioned
Speaker 4: just have relatively new impressive ownership groups. But you know,
Speaker 4: really the end of the day, it's a grind. It's
Speaker 4: a grind. It's making sure that you are reaching every
Speaker 4: potential ticket buyer with the right message at the right time.
Speaker 4: You're you're in the community, making sure you're demonstrating what
Speaker 4: is so special about the CFL. There isn't a magic potion.
Speaker 4: It is. It is hard work. And I think the
Speaker 4: folks in the those other markets that are stold a
Speaker 4: few more tickets in they're in their stadiums, have proven
Speaker 4: that out it is. They're not They don't just rely
Speaker 4: on on a fan base. They work it, uh and
Speaker 4: and I think that's what all of us intend to do.
Speaker 5: Hey, Stuart, we've been hearing about this for years A
Speaker 5: tenth CFL team, likely in the Maritimes. I know you've
Speaker 5: answered this question a million times in the last month
Speaker 5: or so, but where do you stand on that.
Speaker 4: Starting point? Is? I would love attempts to a tenth
Speaker 4: team would be fabulous for this league. So let me
Speaker 4: be super clear about that. What I've how I've answered
Speaker 4: that question though, is is a finding that tenth team
Speaker 4: is not a top priority of mine. If a great
Speaker 4: potential ownership group comes with a plan, a stadium plan
Speaker 4: and the wherewithal to make something happen, we are going
Speaker 4: to have that conversation. But I want to focus on things,
Speaker 4: at least to start my tenure here as commissioner, on
Speaker 4: things I can control and things I can control include
Speaker 4: driving partnership, revenue driving, you know, working with a club
Speaker 4: on digital content distribution, it may be improving or in
Speaker 4: growing the game of football in Canada through flag you know,
Speaker 4: those types of things that are concrete that I know
Speaker 4: we can affect immediately and I think we'll have the
Speaker 4: right payoff. Those are things I want to make as
Speaker 4: my top priorities and certainly just be available for those
Speaker 4: discussions on a tenth team or an eleventh and twelfth
Speaker 4: team if they come around.
Speaker 5: Been there, done that, So hold on, hold off on
Speaker 5: a team in the Maritimes or in Vegas, Sacramento, or Baltimore.
Speaker 3: Which leads me to this.
Speaker 5: I'm told I'm supposed to ask you about the ninety
Speaker 5: four Gray Cup at BC place between the Lions and
Speaker 5: the Baltimore cfl Or Steward.
Speaker 4: It is a very distinct memory for me. At the time,
Speaker 4: I was going to school at UBC and I was
Speaker 4: part time working for Gatorade in their sports marketing group.
Speaker 4: So I was mixing up Gatorade on marathon roots and
Speaker 4: triathlon roots. And one of the jobs I had was
Speaker 4: to serve gatorade at the Gray Cup. And I was
Speaker 4: positioned on the visiting team side or the Baltimore I
Speaker 4: don't know if they were visiting actually in the Great Cup,
Speaker 4: but the Baltimore side and serve them the gatorade and
Speaker 4: is to peek up and certainly with great interest to
Speaker 4: see the great Louis pas Sagula make that kick, and
Speaker 4: I I mean it was pandemonium in the in the
Speaker 4: stadium at that time. It's such a vivid memory. I
Speaker 4: even I was a young guy. So I'm not recommending
Speaker 4: this to anybody. But I tried to snag a game
Speaker 4: ball that was left on the sideline and I had
Speaker 4: it under my arm and some routing fan came and
Speaker 4: stored it right from me. Oh like, how am I
Speaker 4: supposed to complain about that? I was trying to steal
Speaker 4: the ball myself.
Speaker 3: Maybe it was Louis he wanted it for a souvenir. Yeah,
Speaker 3: no kidding. Hey s to Bee Stuart V. Thanks for this.
Speaker 5: Like Brick said, we're longtime CFL fans, love it all
Speaker 5: the best.
Speaker 3: We're pulling for you.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it, Thank you, look forward to doing this again.
Speaker 5: You bet thanks to it. Stewart Johnson, fifteenth CFL Commissioner.
Speaker 5: What he said there about flag football is really true.
Speaker 5: Both my boys played flag football every weekend all around
Speaker 5: the Vancouver area into the Fraser Valley, uh an at Farm.
Speaker 5: These tournaments just full of kids, not much of a
Speaker 5: CFL presence there, so I think that's that's one place
Speaker 5: they can start. And the thing is, with that situation,
Speaker 5: flag football is growing in large part because of the
Speaker 5: concussion issue. So you've got a lot of kids playing playing,
Speaker 5: getting a taste of football, find out what it's like
Speaker 5: to learn about the strategies and you know it sounds
Speaker 5: like Stuart's going to do something about reaching out in
Speaker 5: a better way. Uh with with with those kids, I
Speaker 5: couldn't agree more. CFL preseason by the way, and the
Speaker 5: Lions camp opens what in ten days or so? Up
Speaker 5: up in Callops, May eleventh, up in Kallops. First CFL
Speaker 5: preseason game is the one on the island in Langford
Speaker 5: Lions and Stampeders. That's on me nineteenth again our thanks

Speaker 5: is it one of Victoria's favorite pubs, The Dog where
Speaker 5: you can enjoy twenty camps, twenty screens, You're home for
Speaker 5: the conduction. UFC comes, sit and stay at the Dog today.
Speaker 5: A lot of people in the delaneous inbox the last
Speaker 5: few days wondering about Quinn he his future and you know,
Speaker 5: given his team friendly contract and the fact he's going
Speaker 5: to be a UFA in a couple of years, would
Speaker 5: you consider trading Quinn Hughes with the Canucks? Can consider that?
Speaker 5: And so you decided to.
Speaker 3: Go with this pool. You two did our waddling dog
Speaker 3: pop pole question through You've tied. Oh, I was on
Speaker 3: the phone. I was getting you a coffee. I come
Speaker 3: back and the poll questions up anyways, went should the
Speaker 3: Canucks trade at Quinn Hughes this summer? Next summer? Never,
Speaker 3: he's gonna resign. Never, he's going to resign a lot
Speaker 3: of positive people in the in the poll, which is
Speaker 3: at fifteen hundred plus. It's hopping, it's popping. It's not stopping.
Speaker 3: This summer thirty six percent, Next summer fifteen percent. Everything
Speaker 3: they do from here on in has to be with
Speaker 3: Quinn Hughes in mind.
Speaker 5: Donny, Well, you know what I'm gonna go. I don't
Speaker 5: gonna find this hard to believe, but I'm gonna go
Speaker 5: positive here. Yeah, And I would hope, as somebody who
Speaker 5: has followed this team since nineteen seventy before that in
Speaker 5: the old Western Hockey late Blasers, that never he will
Speaker 5: resign comes to fruition comes true, because if he resigns,
Speaker 5: that means the fortunes of this team will have increased dramatically,
Speaker 5: hope in a positive way.
Speaker 3: If that's good. If he resigns, he gives you hope.
Speaker 5: If he leaves, no, but if he's only resigning, if
Speaker 5: he sees that things are better, I would think, because if.
Speaker 3: He goes through this mess again the next Tew, he's done,
Speaker 3: he's done. He's done. He's done.
Speaker 5: So for the sake of the fans, and for the
Speaker 5: sake of the fans, I hope that number three happens.
Speaker 3: Okay, so drama all year, soap opera dysfunction. So the
Speaker 3: season ends and he's supposed to stop talk. It leaves
Speaker 3: you're fighting with your first round pick, Will Lander. No
Speaker 3: practice facility. What happened today?
Speaker 1: Ryan?
Speaker 3: Some season ticket holder got screwed out of money? By
Speaker 3: the Canucks.
Speaker 1: Not not today. They tried you a season ticket oder
Speaker 1: resold seats and didn't get money after months and months
Speaker 1: of months from the organizations.
Speaker 3: Old story. It's not an old story done. It's came
Speaker 3: out this morning. Yeah, when he was pressure from a
Speaker 3: TV station that made the Canucks pay her. Right. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a story done. It's wow, you're negative. Not that drama.
Speaker 3: Continue bringing this up. They didn't give the season take
Speaker 3: it older? What fifty seven hundred bucks?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did. It took a while eventually. Yeah, well when.
Speaker 3: Well Bester might leave, how about that suitor might leave?
Speaker 3: How about that well lander might leave?
Speaker 1: How about that? Can I just say, though, for everybody
Speaker 1: ripping us in the replies, I can't believe you asked
Speaker 1: this quest or something. If you're a Canucks fan, every
Speaker 1: single one of you, you can lie if you want.
Speaker 1: As soon as that decision came down about Rick talking
Speaker 1: on Monday, the first comment you made to your buddy
Speaker 1: or significant other or Reddit page was.
Speaker 3: Negative about Quinn Hughes staying going whatever his favorite coach.
Speaker 3: But we're not.
Speaker 1: We're not, you know, we're not. In the middle of
Speaker 1: last season in his playoff run and deciding on a Friday.
Speaker 1: You know what, let's just ask hibout Quinn Hues his future.
Speaker 1: We're asking the question because of events that happened this
Speaker 1: week and now that talkt has gone. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: the biggest topic around the franchise is his future. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: So you can say that they're a long time media
Speaker 1: and you can say all this crap that A replies
Speaker 1: are filled with, but again, every one of you that's
Speaker 1: a fan, it's your number one thing. You're talking about
Speaker 1: what this team right now?
Speaker 3: So it is. Do you think Takott didn't talk to
Speaker 3: Hughes before he made his decision?
Speaker 1: Well, don brings up the lunch. Donny brings up the lunch. Rick.
Speaker 3: He said he had lunch with He had lunch with him,
Speaker 3: or maybe a walk on the sea wall. Maybe they
Speaker 3: have no he said he had lunch with him.
Speaker 1: He had lunch, maybe a beer. I don't know what
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 3: But I think that talk it's got a pretty good
Speaker 3: indication about Quinn Hues day.
Speaker 12: They went for lunch to get I know they descend that.
Speaker 12: I know this is after the season. Yeah, after the season.
Speaker 12: Do you think he bolted for no reason? I think
Speaker 12: he knows some stuff that other.
Speaker 5: People as a movie, I'm sure they brought up or
Speaker 5: maybe they didn't bring up hockey at all, which some
Speaker 5: of them.
Speaker 3: Some people will.
Speaker 1: Tell you, well what about this factor? Guys, who is
Speaker 1: the guy that brought Talking here? What's Rutherford's future here?
Speaker 3: Well, well, we'll find out find out.
Speaker 1: But I wonder if Talking also looked at that, like,
Speaker 1: what what's.
Speaker 3: A good really good point that clip?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 3: Yeah, really good part Ryan.
Speaker 1: Which I got excited there for a second. His future, Yeah,
Speaker 1: used to have that clip, used to have that one.
Speaker 1: This is how long is Jimmy around? How long is
Speaker 1: Jimmy around?
Speaker 3: Well, let's find out, right. This is a clip from
Speaker 3: the from the other day, the.
Speaker 1: Press conference following the Talk partition of Talk and our
Speaker 1: Good pal, Patrick Johnson asked Jim Rutherford, but what his
Speaker 1: future is with the franchise?
Speaker 3: There you go, boom, Derek.
Speaker 13: I don't feel comfortable with the job that I've done. Okay,
Speaker 13: we were on the right track a year ago. We
Speaker 13: got off that track this year. I take a lot
Speaker 13: of responsibility for it. It's my job. I had the
Speaker 13: hockey department, and uh, we have a lot of work
Speaker 13: to do to get back on track, and so at
Speaker 13: this point in time, that's my focus to see if
Speaker 13: we can do that.
Speaker 3: He's seventy six years old. Jiff Ruther, for I think
Speaker 3: it's fair speculating he's probably going to put in another year.
Speaker 3: And there was a report back east in Toronto that
Speaker 3: said he's thinking about calling it quit. So I could
Speaker 3: see that. But you know, when I look at this year,
Speaker 3: I know he's taken blame for it. But who to
Speaker 3: have two star players fight Donnie and cause mayhem in
Speaker 3: the dressing room and cause the mayem These two star
Speaker 3: players did?
Speaker 5: Two star players are two star players rick that they
Speaker 5: knew didn't get along. They knew, and they signed them
Speaker 5: to long term long tracks.
Speaker 3: They signed two guys.
Speaker 5: Here, you're blaming the two players, and yet they're the
Speaker 5: of ones who signed these cares who weren't getting along
Speaker 5: to long term deals.
Speaker 3: Bingo, you nailed it, You nailed it. Those two players
Speaker 3: single handedly screwed the entire season of Vancouver. Injuries didn't
Speaker 3: help Donny that the dressing room was a chaos. It
Speaker 3: was just the Miller leave of absence. Miller Patterson feud
Speaker 3: at around and it was just a tire fire.
Speaker 5: Every week because of those two quick recap of how
Speaker 5: we started the show speaking of the Canucks Abbatsford Canucks
Speaker 5: beating Coachella val Valley Valley three to one last night.
Speaker 3: And where is there just pump springs just outside of
Speaker 3: pump Springs on the highway. I think it's I don't
Speaker 3: know the exact longitude of mine. Saw the rink on
Speaker 3: the highway, took a picture, sent it to me. He said,
Speaker 3: that's where the seattle the highway to the highway, left side,
Speaker 3: palm springs straight ahead, left side, left side. It depends
Speaker 3: what direction he took the photo. It's on the left
Speaker 3: side going on the palm springs. Anyways, thanks for that.
Speaker 3: Just so where am I now? I forgot completely anyway,

Speaker 5: They'd love their hockey in Berlin. In Germany. Heck, they

Speaker 5: they're they're right into it. And they won the name
Speaker 5: of the team is the Berlin Polar Bears. They won
Speaker 5: the title series a record of twelve and two over

Speaker 3: over there. Yeah, yeah, there you go. Hey, you know what,
Speaker 3: and Donny, everyone all minor hockey parents, all they think
Speaker 3: about is the NHL or bust. But look as having
Speaker 3: a blank great Canadian kid playing hockey in Europe earning money. Uh,
Speaker 3: you know, we talk about Barry Becks in Japan coaching.
Speaker 3: Just because you don't make the NHL, it's not the
Speaker 3: end of the world. You could still make a living
Speaker 3: at hockey. But it's just that the laser focus is NHL.
Speaker 5: Or bust well and then there's scholarships to American colleges.
Speaker 5: It's exactly what a tremendous sport. Congrats to Tyronning and
Speaker 5: obviously Cliff and his wife proud parents.

Speaker 5: beat Tigris.
Speaker 3: Tigris. I didn't want to correct you.
Speaker 5: Cruise a Zool beat Tigres. You didn't know you're the
Speaker 5: guy in Germany. Okay, so Cruise a zull beat Tigris.
Speaker 5: Cruise a Zool will play the white Caps on June first?
Speaker 3: Is it just me?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 3: I'm propologies. I am from Lloydminster and our northeaster Wayne Wright,
Speaker 3: and I've been to Honkering Company many times where i
Speaker 3: had my sinuses cleared and pockets emptied. Have a great weekend, guys,
Speaker 3: Carry the Caretaker sending us from Alberta. Thanks Carryanks for
Speaker 3: supporting one of our clients. Appreciate it.
Speaker 5: New Wes Nick, Is it just me? But the white
Speaker 5: Caps are showing the Canucks how well things can be
Speaker 5: if you put the team up for sale, just saying
Speaker 5: that's a really good submission by new West Nick. But
Speaker 5: the rumors aren't true, are they? But they about the Canucks,
Speaker 5: there's a whole sorts of speculation from Nick Kipprios for
Speaker 5: one back east right.
Speaker 3: Rick, absolutely, Nick, nobody is the rumors?
Speaker 1: Yes, you know what has.
Speaker 5: Come out of that is that some people are speculating
Speaker 5: that much like the Griffiths did back in the day,
Speaker 5: maybe selling part of the.
Speaker 3: Part of the team. And there are rumors out there
Speaker 3: that he has tried to sell part of the team,
Speaker 3: So that that is out there for sure. Nothing we
Speaker 3: should do with Quinn in mind. Uh, it shouldn't be
Speaker 3: all him, It should be the team in mind. No
Speaker 3: one player is above the team. That's a message from
Speaker 3: Sudsey and a good one. And a lot of people
Speaker 3: are saying that, you know, we've had star players leaved on.
Speaker 3: We have Pavel Burry leave and did the franchise fold
Speaker 3: did did Vancouver and their franchise when Pavel Burry left?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: It kept going, Uh is it just me this is unsigned?
Speaker 5: Or should body shaming? Rick have to do a second
Speaker 5: with no shirt on so we could potentially body shame him.
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, Ryan did it too, so they
Speaker 3: should be directed to Ryan as as you did. You
Speaker 3: did too. But the guy takes his shirt off in
Speaker 3: a hockey rink Donny, there's thousands together. Okay, so Ryan
Speaker 3: put the phono up again. I'm not body shaming anyone.
Speaker 1: A lot of those guys.
Speaker 3: Look at a big shoulders, big arms. Look at the
Speaker 3: guy in the middle with the arm. It's almost like
Speaker 3: they all have arms. Yeah, I mean, come on, man,
Speaker 3: I'm also saying there's some good guys in there, you know, shoulders.
Speaker 3: Look look at some of the shoulders in there, pretty
Speaker 3: big shoulders. Get it out of their get it off.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of big in there. It looks like
Speaker 3: a couple of media guys we know, especially one with
Speaker 3: the three letters in his name. Anyways, Uh, okay, anyways,
Speaker 3: go you know I signed Jeeves from Surrey. Is it
Speaker 3: just me?
Speaker 5: But imagine training Beurret in his prime, which they kind
Speaker 5: of did exactly because you think about it, he went
Speaker 5: to Florida and had fifty goal seasons.
Speaker 3: There was a rock star. Yeap, No, that's too good, point,
Speaker 3: Robin Victoria. If the Knucks want to keep Quinn Hughes
Speaker 3: long term, wouldn't it make sense for management to ask
Speaker 3: him what he wants to coach. I would be very
Speaker 3: surprised if the Canucks don't keep Quinn Hughes informed of
Speaker 3: the coach search. I think that that's a good text.
Speaker 3: I think they will keep him absolutely in mind.
Speaker 5: Eric in New West Is it just me or does
Speaker 5: Ed Willis need to add another chapter just about this
Speaker 5: season to his excellent book Never Born. I know, I
Speaker 5: haven't done it. I haven't read it yet.
Speaker 3: I will.
Speaker 5: I've had a lot of people tell me it's excellent,
Speaker 5: and I just wonder if Ed is thinking to himself, man,
Speaker 5: I should have waited.
Speaker 3: Ye, boy, that would have been a really good chapter.
Speaker 3: His Lee chapter would have been this year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can always put out another book about this
Speaker 5: year alone. Eric in New Wes, thank you.
Speaker 3: Now, Anthony, and so Surrey Washington. The Canucks need to
Speaker 3: learn from them. Boy did Washington make some shrewd moves
Speaker 3: last summer, don't it? And they questionable but true?
Speaker 1: True?
Speaker 3: And yeah, you know, getting chickering out of Ottawa, and
Speaker 3: you know all those guys that pier Luke Debois, everything
Speaker 3: they did worked out for them. So you can turn
Speaker 3: it around, Dawn, despite all the doom and gloom one good.
Speaker 5: Well, you can't rebuild too, I mean you can do
Speaker 5: it's it all comes down to good.
Speaker 3: Management, retool on the fly on Sigde.
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 5: But all this all started last year with the management's
Speaker 5: botching of re signing Nikita Zadorov. Then it spiraled from there.
Speaker 5: But they offered Zadorov good money, did they know?
Speaker 3: They did? But they took too long. They spent too
Speaker 3: much time on Gensel. They ignored him for a few
Speaker 3: weeks and that bothered him and he left. But I
Speaker 3: think that was one of the problems.
Speaker 5: Things didn't go great for Zadorof in Boston. I wonder,
Speaker 5: you know, Deep Delwoode, if you do things differently himself.
Speaker 3: I will say this, Talcket missed the door, and he
Speaker 3: and Cole missed him a ton. And one of the
Speaker 3: things talking wanted management to do the summer don was
Speaker 3: get more leadership on the table. Is more leadership this summer,
Speaker 3: either through trades or through July first?
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 3: David and Poco? Is it just me?
Speaker 5: But you forgot to mention the Russians came back because
Speaker 5: they were told they wouldn't get paid. Money means a
Speaker 5: lot to them, like it does to a lot of
Speaker 5: people were talking about nineteen seventy six and the Russians
Speaker 5: leaving the Ice after the ed Van imp hit in
Speaker 5: Philadelphia and the evanip has left us at the age
Speaker 5: of eighty four. But I think it was Alan Eagleson,
Speaker 5: the infamous Allan Eagleson, who informed the Russians, Hey, you
Speaker 5: can leave this game, but you're not getting any money.
Speaker 3: They came back on the ice of all the teams
Speaker 3: for the Russians to play the broad Street Bullies. What
Speaker 3: did they expect?
Speaker 5: I was around then. I don't know one person I
Speaker 5: know who didn't watch that game. Oh such a matchup? Break, Okay,
Speaker 5: break and we'll wrap up the show, the poll question
Speaker 5: and the week. Johnny Delly the team on Jack as
Speaker 5: we continue our campaign to get Born to Be Alive
Speaker 5: played on a regular basis at Rogers are in a
Speaker 5: campaign not going well when it comes to the Canucks.
Speaker 5: But you know what, Warriors have a game on Sunday
Speaker 5: although they are affiliated with the Canucks. Patrick hoping they
Speaker 5: changed their mind one day.
Speaker 3: Doc Paul rick Boy.
Speaker 1: Great song, Ryan, get her up the Waddling Dog. Pop
Speaker 1: poll question right up.
Speaker 3: Went Should the Canucks trade Quinn Hughes this summer, next
Speaker 3: summer or never He's going to resign? Never, He's going
Speaker 3: to resign he's leading the way to forty nine seventeen
Speaker 3: hundred votes. I'm surprised this summer is well ahead of
Speaker 3: next summer. Exactly.
Speaker 5: This summer would get you a much bigger return. The
Speaker 5: thought is out there or inbox? Delaney's inboxes proof of that.
Speaker 5: You've got some photos.
Speaker 1: All right, we're going here. Let's go. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you.
