Speaker 4: Off.
Speaker 1: You're getting a lot of days off.
Speaker 4: What's happening on Friday? Do you have any idea?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: I got you won't be here.
Speaker 1: I got to go to Toronto. I got stuff to do,
Speaker 1: I got people.
Speaker 4: What do you have to do in Toronto.
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's it's it's it's uh people to meet.
Speaker 4: Are you leaving us? You haven't.
Speaker 1: Why would I go to Toronto? I've been that. You went
Speaker 1: to Toronto to work? I have no desire to work there.
Speaker 1: I love it right here.
Speaker 4: I actually liked it there. As a Vancouver is awful
Speaker 4: to blasphemous, but I actually enjoyed my time in Toronto.
Speaker 4: I didn't live there, but I was there. I was
Speaker 4: there a lot. It was fun.
Speaker 1: You like the suits in Toronto? God bless you. No,
Speaker 1: I don't bless you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, trust me that. I'm not a big fan, although
Speaker 4: they were good to me in some ways. Okay, Game
Speaker 4: four of the Stanley Cup Final tonight in Vegas after
Speaker 4: a two day break, Golden Nights up up to one
Speaker 4: five four double win on Saturday. Just fabulous entertainment. We're
Speaker 4: gonna talk more about that as the show goes on,
Speaker 4: but we have to start here, don't we. Mike Babcock
Speaker 4: story crazy. Did anybody do you know anybody who said
Speaker 4: this was a possibility him going him being hired by
Speaker 4: the Evanton Oilers, like all the names that were thrown out.
Speaker 4: They're led by Bruce Cassidy and maybe this still happens
Speaker 4: with him, but Mike Babcock and he's He's met with
Speaker 4: Darryl Cats, He's met with the management, He's met with
Speaker 4: the leadership group with Connor, He's talked to Connor McDavid
Speaker 4: and Leon dricidel I guess, Zach Hyman, Evan Bouchard and
Speaker 4: thumbs up from everybody, everybody who saw this coming up.
Speaker 1: He hasn't coached since twenty nineteen. His last playoff series
Speaker 1: went on twenty thirteen, the Columbus fiasco. The Columbus signed
Speaker 1: him a few years ago. He didn't even make it
Speaker 1: to the game one and the training camp. You know
Speaker 1: he was asking for the cell phone photos controversy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just you know what, and you know what, people
Speaker 1: can thank Vegas for this by holding back Cassidy that
Speaker 1: Edmonton was forced to look elsewhere.
Speaker 4: I think in elsewhere. Yeah, in more ways than well,
Speaker 4: there are other coaches available, right, Yeah, they could rehire
Speaker 4: Jay Woodcraft. But also when it comes to Vegas, you
Speaker 4: mentioned they can thank Vegas for this, and they're not
Speaker 4: gonna let Cassidy talk probably until after the postseason, or
Speaker 4: maybe they don't want him coach and go. I don't
Speaker 4: know what the situation is. But also I wonder how
Speaker 4: much this has to do with John Tortorawa because who
Speaker 4: saw that coming? Nobody, right, nobody? Eight games left and
Speaker 4: you're hiring this controversial head coach. Is the game passed
Speaker 4: him by? And how does he treat people? And look
Speaker 4: where they are, you know, two wins away from winning
Speaker 4: a Stanley Cup, and I wonder if that if that
Speaker 4: has some influence, like they're looking for a point for
Speaker 4: a quick fix here and Mike Babcock last time I
Speaker 4: checked hockey wives not doing much. He's available the resume again,
Speaker 4: there are there are plenty of negatives there, but you
Speaker 4: know he's a twelve winning as coach of all time.
Speaker 4: There are a lot of positives. Couple of gold medals
Speaker 4: and Stanley Cup and all sorts of success and made
Speaker 4: a whole lot of money. The Leafs liked him a lot,
Speaker 4: not not not that long ago.
Speaker 1: Absolutely also let them go. And look what's happening in
Speaker 1: the NHL. Star players like Dylan lark And are asking out.
Speaker 1: They're tired of losing now these star players want to win,
Speaker 1: and they want to win today. Dot Is this a
Speaker 1: one or two year deal to get the cup? For
Speaker 1: dry Citle and McDavid is acrost? It is because if
Speaker 1: they don't get the cup here soon, they're gonna want
Speaker 1: out too. So are the players getting more and more
Speaker 1: power every day?
Speaker 4: Don So what is what does this lead to? What word?
Speaker 4: Does it lead to? Desperation? Desperate? Is that the way
Speaker 4: you want to run your business? But if you want to,
Speaker 4: you know, wake some people up. Oh did they ever
Speaker 4: create a spark and show people that you're serious? And
Speaker 4: we're talking about Stan Bowman and Darryl Kates here. Well,
Speaker 4: we're gonna hire Mike Babcock and the goal is obvious.
Speaker 4: We're not here to squeak into the playoffs. We're here
Speaker 4: to win a Stanley Cup. Connor McDavid two years left
Speaker 4: on his contract, maybe two years left in Edbonton. Let
Speaker 4: let's go. I guess from that point of view it
Speaker 4: might make sense. But you made the point about the
Speaker 4: last time he won a playoff series twenty thirteen, nothing
Speaker 4: in Toronto.
Speaker 1: Nothing in Toronto. It was a disaster in Toronto. And
Speaker 1: did the players want this done in Edmonton. Did they
Speaker 1: are they the ones? We they you know didn't.
Speaker 4: If it happens, though, Rick, if it could happen, then
Speaker 4: you can look to Connor McDavid and Leon dry Sidel
Speaker 4: And again I'd assume Zach Hymen and Evan Bouchard and say, well,
Speaker 4: you guys wanted this, I mean.
Speaker 1: You were okay with this, Yes, you signed off.
Speaker 4: Connor McDavid is so competitive. If you can't get Bruce Cassidy,
Speaker 4: who's won a Stanley Cup and is you know, probably
Speaker 4: the hottest commodity out there, then who's your next choice?
Speaker 4: Maybe it makes sense from that that point of view,
Speaker 4: But when you you get reminded of all these stories
Speaker 4: and people can look it up without going into too
Speaker 4: much detail. The situation with Johan Fransen who had mental
Speaker 4: health issues on the back he bullied him and Mike
Speaker 4: Madonna sitting him out when he was so close to
Speaker 4: fifteen hundred games to what end, like why.
Speaker 1: And then asking Mitch Marner about another player, then telling
Speaker 1: the other player Marner said that.
Speaker 4: Well that's another dressing room.
Speaker 1: About He told that, yeah. Look his uh, some of
Speaker 1: his the way he deals with people is not right.
Speaker 1: But right now they need to win tomorrow down not
Speaker 1: five years. This isn't a deal with the coach for
Speaker 1: five years down the road. It's next year. They need
Speaker 1: to win.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if whatever deal he signed one
Speaker 4: winds up with Connor mcgavid too. Maybe maybe three years
Speaker 4: for miabcock.
Speaker 1: But he's talking.
Speaker 4: I mentioned the word bully, and then other the other
Speaker 4: word that you have to you know. Look, I think
Speaker 4: I've interviewed him a couple of times, but he's weird.
Speaker 4: That situation like with Columbus, like in this day and age,
Speaker 4: what makes you think that that's going to help your
Speaker 4: team win? You know? And the young players asking your
Speaker 4: your young player, your player's period to share their personal
Speaker 4: photos from their cell phone and somehow that's going to
Speaker 4: create a bond between teammates. It's or maybe just finding
Speaker 4: out how they react to having to share their photos.
Speaker 4: It's just weird, weird. Do I want that? Do I
Speaker 4: want that in my in charge of my room, in
Speaker 4: charge of my team. I don't. But but well we're
Speaker 4: not mcconnor, McDavid or Leon Driis. I don't know. If
Speaker 4: they say it's okay, then we'll see what happens. I
Speaker 4: tell you what, it's great for shows like ours, oh bit.
Speaker 4: From that point of view, I'm okay with it. And
Speaker 4: the other thing too. There's a lot of people watching
Speaker 4: this show who could care less because we're talking about
Speaker 4: the arch rival Edmonton Oilers here versus the banchor of
Speaker 4: a Canocks. They're probably okay with it too, because it
Speaker 4: you would think, given the history, that the Oilers would
Speaker 4: be headed towards disaster if they hire Mike Babcock. But
Speaker 4: it might work, and it's sure is interesting, and we'll
Speaker 4: we'll talk about it a whole lot if indeed it happens. Look,
Speaker 4: it hasn't happened yet. Now you're talking about that yet.
Speaker 1: It sounds like Bob Stouffer, our good friend in Edmonton said,
Speaker 1: it looks like it's going to happen.
Speaker 4: Out of nowhere. I don't know. Look, listen, everybody has contacts.
Speaker 4: So many people have contacts. You certainly do nobody.
Speaker 1: Nobody, Nobody hurt Babcock's name. Nobody.
Speaker 4: You just thought that was it. You know, he could
Speaker 4: collect his money from the leafs and whatever, you know,
Speaker 4: the red wings, the ducks although and just go off
Speaker 4: into the sunset, And yeah, you could, didn't see this happening.
Speaker 4: But again I wonder if the if Kates and Bowman
Speaker 4: a company, the orders went, you know, look at Torts
Speaker 4: and what he's done with Vegas, older coach that nobody
Speaker 4: thought would you know, would have a chance of getting
Speaker 4: back into the NHL. There was two wins away from
Speaker 4: his day. Hey, you know what, Mike Babcock's available, what
Speaker 4: let's go get them? What about him? So I wonder
Speaker 4: if that has something to do with it. Peter Laviolette,
Speaker 4: by the way, also a candidate in various places, but
Speaker 4: hired by the La Kings.
Speaker 1: So that means two teams left to hire Donnie Edmonton
Speaker 1: in Toronto.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then well we'll see what happens with with Cassidy. Okay.
Speaker 4: Michael McCarran, Yeah, bottom six senator center. Rather with the
Speaker 4: with the Minnesota Wild. He's gonna stick around with the
Speaker 4: Minnesota Wild. Sixty two split last season between Nashville and Minnesota.
Speaker 4: He was good in the playoffs and there was some
Speaker 4: thought that he would be a player that might fit
Speaker 4: with the Canucks.
Speaker 1: Wreck there was gonna be a fit with the Canucks.
Speaker 1: I mentioned that he's gonna be a ufan. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be a few weeks ago. So look, this guy's
Speaker 1: thirty one years old. This is what I think people
Speaker 1: got to realize what's going on. Thirty one years old.
Speaker 1: He's a centerman, bottom six guy. He got six years
Speaker 1: to get the AVV down down to three point three
Speaker 1: million per year. Otherwise he was going to get a
Speaker 1: bigger number. On July first. Columbus gave thirty four year
Speaker 1: old center Charlie Coyle six years. This guy got six
Speaker 1: at age thirty one. Teams are locking up their centers,
Speaker 1: they're not letting them get to July first. So many
Speaker 1: teams are looking for centers. As baffling as this sounds, done,
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be an interest in Elie's Petterson.
Speaker 1: Some team, regardless of his last two years, regardless of
Speaker 1: his regardless of his inflated salary. Some team's gonna think
Speaker 1: they could turn Eliash Petterson from fifty points eighty not
Speaker 1: one hundred seventy five eighty done. It's gonna happen. Just
Speaker 1: so many teams are desperate for centers right now, and
Speaker 1: and all those people out there that don't understand why
Speaker 1: the Canucks like Caleb Maholtra so much nowadays you have
Speaker 1: to draft and develop centers. Getting him on July first
Speaker 1: is nearly impossible. Teams are locking them up as we've
Speaker 1: seen too, Charlie Coyle and this guy.
Speaker 4: Well this is only three point three million, it is,
Speaker 4: But if.
Speaker 1: You would have gone to July first on he could
Speaker 1: have got four maybe four and a half, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But you got to draft and develop centers. And people
Speaker 1: just are not clicking in about Caleb Maholtra. The Canucks
Speaker 1: are organizationally weak at center. You got to draft and
Speaker 1: develop them. Braiden Coots is coming, right, Braiden Coots is coming.
Speaker 1: But after that, there's nobody that is so wrong? How
Speaker 1: is it wrong?
Speaker 4: They're in a position where they have to draft the
Speaker 4: best player available, and if it's Caleb Maholtra and he's
Speaker 4: a center, I guess absolutely. You can't be the position
Speaker 4: the Canucks are in. Rick, the position the Canucks are in,
Speaker 4: they can't. They can't go We're gonna We're gonna draft
Speaker 4: based on position. No, you got to go with the
Speaker 4: best player. I get that argument as well.
Speaker 1: But after Braden Coats named me one prospect in Vancouver
Speaker 1: that is a centerment, they got nothing in atmosphere, Don.
Speaker 4: They can go sign Dylan Larkin.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, Dylan Larkin is gonna come to Vancouver after
Speaker 1: bitching about Detroit not making the playoffs and then he
Speaker 1: wants to.
Speaker 4: Go to the worst team in Hotel. You know I'm kidding.
Speaker 4: I know, I know you kid, but no, come on,
Speaker 4: you've been on this, You've agreed with me.
Speaker 1: Tell why they like so much. And I'm also telling
Speaker 1: you Don right now that teams are not letting their
Speaker 1: centers get to July first. I see that they right now.
Speaker 4: Scott Lawton, are you ready on July first? Oh, you're
Speaker 4: making it sound like they're on the verge of winning
Speaker 4: the Stanley Cup, Like they got to go for the
Speaker 4: best player possible, no matter, no matter the situation, if
Speaker 4: anybody is related to anything like that.
Speaker 1: But everybody coming out of the combine we talked to
Speaker 1: last week in Buffalo is convinced the Canucks are going
Speaker 1: to take Maholtre if he's available at three. Everybody, who
Speaker 1: do we have yesterday? Right, Scott Wheeler said same thing.
Speaker 1: Everybody in Buffalo's talking Maholtra for the Canucks.
Speaker 4: Just say what if? What if? San Jose and Toronto
Speaker 4: passed on McKenna or Stenburg or Stenburg and he and
Speaker 4: one of those players is available, so is Maholtra.
Speaker 1: Well then you've got a big decision to make me go.
Speaker 4: So it's not automatic. It's not automatic because okay, again
Speaker 4: we've gone over this a million times. The possibility of
Speaker 4: Chase for you going to San Jose, yes, where they
Speaker 4: would love to you know, they would love to pair
Speaker 4: him with Dickinson. They need it, they need a young defenseman.
Speaker 4: It makes sense. So maybe one of those two. You
Speaker 4: know that one of the two players expect to go
Speaker 4: top two, maybe one of them will be available.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's a good point. But what Minnesota did and
Speaker 1: Columbus did with two thirty year old guys and gave
Speaker 1: him six years. Teams are locking up their centers. They're
Speaker 1: not letting them hit July first.
Speaker 4: Okay, So draft for position, no matter what situation your team.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling I'm just telling you they like Maholter
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, whether it happens or not, we'll see.
Speaker 4: Okay, great, how are you right? Everything?
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 3: I'm not used to sitting over here. It's weird.
Speaker 1: You sit there every day enough for it's Saturday or
Speaker 1: yesterday and Friday. That's right, that's right, there you go, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, should I be worried he's thinking, he's thinking
Speaker 1: about that chair?
Speaker 5: Now it's much more I got watch it. I got
Speaker 5: a way better chair compared to you guys.

Speaker 4: for sure as well. Big Rye the Twitter guy will

Speaker 4: Troy Statter, NHL defenseman, former Cannuck Pride of Richmond ten
Speaker 4: NHL seasons, spent last season with the Oilers and the
Speaker 4: Leafs at UFA in the summer. Thirty two years old
Speaker 4: and seems like I just yesterday you heard about Troy
Speaker 4: joining the bank of a Kunnucks all those years ago,
Speaker 4: Troy joins us. Now, Troy, thanks for doing this.
Speaker 3: Their How are you you doing?
Speaker 1: Good? Good?
Speaker 4: Good Troy. Hey, have you been as entertained by the
Speaker 4: Stanley Cup final as everybody else has? Troy?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been great. There has been awesome to watch.
Speaker 6: It sucks that there's two days in between games, but
Speaker 6: it was fun. Have a nice basketball game last night.
Speaker 6: So the playoffs has been good for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in both leagues. Any theories as so you've been
Speaker 4: around for ten years, but any theories as to why
Speaker 4: hockey playoff? Hockey seems to be faster, more entertaining, more
Speaker 4: skillful than ever if indeed you agree with that. Any
Speaker 4: any theories as to so why.
Speaker 6: Yeah, used by the same team so many times consecutively,
Speaker 6: which obviously builds kind of that hatred in that competitiveness
Speaker 6: within the game and within the series, and then just
Speaker 6: playing for something bigger than yourself, like your goals and aspirations.
Speaker 6: Our kid win a Stanley Cup and this is the
Speaker 6: time you get that opportunity to do it. So it's
Speaker 6: pretty easy for twenty three guys to get on the
Speaker 6: same page.
Speaker 4: What was it like for you being part of the
Speaker 4: playoff drive for the Oilers back in back in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty five life, Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 6: Obviously it was there for two stints and didn't play
Speaker 6: the first time around. Then last year was there with them.
Speaker 6: So it still hurts obviously when you don't get the
Speaker 6: job done. But something that I'll look back on my
Speaker 6: crew is over and be thankful for. It's still a
Speaker 6: very cool experience to play, and you know, the championship
Speaker 6: at the highest level in the world and it's not forgotten.
Speaker 1: I Hey, Troy, you're a UFA and he talks with
Speaker 1: the Mape beliefs. You know, July first is right around
Speaker 1: the corner.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know how the business works. You kind of
Speaker 6: leave your agent to that. Obviously, with the first round pick,
Speaker 6: they're probably pretty focused on the on the draft as well,
Speaker 6: and we'll see what transpires here.
Speaker 1: What about Vancouver, there's also a positive Canucks. You're looking
Speaker 1: for character guys, Troy and we had Luke schen on
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. They're looking to make that
Speaker 1: dressing him better and guys like you can do that.
Speaker 1: If the Canucks call, would there be interested.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they'll always be interested, especially with the guys in
Speaker 6: place now. I have a lot of respect for obviously
Speaker 6: Hank and Danny Manny too. It was one of my
Speaker 6: coaches when I was in Vancouver. R J helped recruit
Speaker 6: me out of North Dakota. So I'm familiar with all
Speaker 6: of those guys and couldn't have more respect for them.
Speaker 6: So obviously that'd be an opportunity that would be pretty
Speaker 6: excited about if it got to that point. But there's
Speaker 6: a lot, there's a lot that goes on in between
Speaker 6: here and none absolutely.
Speaker 1: But you know what one thing you got, Troy is uh,
Speaker 1: you've played in Canadian markets Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton. How
Speaker 1: much do you love that. I know the media can
Speaker 1: drive players nuts, and I know some UFAs don't want
Speaker 1: to go to Canada, but you seem to you seem
Speaker 1: to like playing in Canadian markets. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I also think it's a little bit different just growing
Speaker 6: up in Canada kind of understanding that's what comes with it,
Speaker 6: you know. I guess a kid, I remember sending in
Speaker 6: my car with my with my parents in the living
Speaker 6: room just watching Howking Head in Canada's you know, it's
Speaker 6: it's a culture in Canada. It's a little bit different,
Speaker 6: not to like single anybody out, but I think for
Speaker 6: the Americans it's a little bit of a different magnitude
Speaker 6: for them. I'm sure they're kind of used to those
Speaker 6: football guys taking all im media attention away, and it's
Speaker 6: just the way it is. So it's something I've embraced
Speaker 6: and accepted and I just kind of grew up with it.
Speaker 1: Hey, Troy, you're thirty two now, not a young buck
Speaker 1: coming out of North Dakota anymore. How tough with all
Speaker 1: these young kids coming in the league, Guys like you
Speaker 1: got to work hard in that summer. It's I see
Speaker 1: a lot of veterans right now in Vancouver working out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a twelve month job now. You really don't
Speaker 6: get much off time anymore. So the one thing with
Speaker 6: myself is I proud myself in my work ethic, in
Speaker 6: my commitment, So it's never been an issue for me.
Speaker 6: In the off season, we're back at the grind already
Speaker 6: and getting ready for year eleven. So I guess at
Speaker 6: the end of the day, it helps having those young
Speaker 6: bucks kind of push you a little bit harder. But
Speaker 6: at the same time, you know, when you reach this
Speaker 6: level of your craft, you don't get their by mistake.
Speaker 6: You get there through hard work and dedication, So that
Speaker 6: doesn't change.
Speaker 4: Talking with Troy's statue, let's go back to something you
Speaker 4: brought up, Troy. You played with Zadines in Vancouver, had
Speaker 4: Manny Malhultra as an assistant coach during your time with
Speaker 4: the connection. You mentioned Ryan Johnson recruiting you out of
Speaker 4: North Dakota. Any question, the Canucks are in good hands.
Speaker 6: No, not at all, just even from Afar watching the
Speaker 6: whole process, so you're kind of hopeful that would happen.
Speaker 4: Just I don't know.
Speaker 6: I'll kind of change the question a little bit, like
Speaker 6: Nor Dakota went through your coach and changed last year.
Speaker 6: And I think at the end of the day, you
Speaker 6: just want people that care about your program in charge.
Speaker 6: And I think that's what the Vancouver Canucks have right now,
Speaker 6: is for men that really deeply care about the organization.
Speaker 6: So they're in great hands.
Speaker 4: What do you remember about Manny as an assistant coach?
Speaker 6: He was awesome. He was super detailed, could lift more
Speaker 6: weight than anybody in the weight rooms. Still at that time.
Speaker 7: Ran a really good Pque.
Speaker 6: Kind of had more one on one relation ship with
Speaker 6: all the players, just being an assistant guy. But you
Speaker 6: had a lot of respect for many. He's a great man.
Speaker 4: He so other than getting a new deal done, what's
Speaker 4: on tap for you in the summer, Troy.
Speaker 6: Just back of the grind, getting ready for the next year.
Speaker 6: Obviously this saw season missing the playoffs. I've had a
Speaker 6: bit of a downtime here to let the body just
Speaker 6: kind of recover and catch up on some rest after
Speaker 6: two long playoff runs. And yeah, just working out, skating,
Speaker 6: spending time with my family, and that's about it.
Speaker 4: Looking back, Troy, you must be so pleased with what's
Speaker 4: happened with your career undrafted and you go back to
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, you signed with the Cannucks and now you
Speaker 4: just mentioned you're going into your eleventh season. You must
Speaker 4: be so pleased with the way things have worked out
Speaker 4: for you.
Speaker 6: Oh, yes and no.
Speaker 4: You always strive to.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you always set goals as an individual player in person,
Speaker 6: and I feel like I haven't achieved a lot of.
Speaker 4: Them that I wanted to achieve.
Speaker 6: But it's also not awsome me what I've achieved just
Speaker 6: being a smaller defenseman that wasn't drafted. I'm not very offensive.
Speaker 6: I've stuck around a long time, so I take a
Speaker 6: lot of pride in that. But to the outside world
Speaker 6: might be a surprise, but to myself is what I expected.
Speaker 6: You know, this is everything I've wanted and everything I've
Speaker 6: pushed for.
Speaker 4: Well, you're doing way better than Rick and I.
Speaker 1: Ah, big time better. Troy.
Speaker 4: Hey, Troy, what advice though for kids out there?
Speaker 1: I don't know if you did the academy thing back
Speaker 1: in the day, but nowadays you got these academies, parents
Speaker 1: spending a lot of money in bantam. What advice do
Speaker 1: you have for those kids out there trying to make it?
Speaker 1: It's it's tough. It's a tough racket.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the landscape's definitely changed from when I was coming
Speaker 6: through the minor hockey ranks. But even when I'm training
Speaker 6: back home in Vancouver, when I'm when I'm there at
Speaker 6: the Delta Academy, just kind of rubbing shoulder with the
Speaker 6: youngers kids. It's it's impressive where they're at. But the
Speaker 6: biggest thing was just to love it. I think just
Speaker 6: from Afar, like you kind of worry that these kids
Speaker 6: are gonna get burnt out at this at this point
Speaker 6: and how old they are and how old they work.
Speaker 6: So as long as you love it, there's nothing wrong
Speaker 6: with working hard, but make sure you're having fun doing it.
Speaker 4: Was it Richmond minor hockey the whole way for you?
Speaker 3: Troy?
Speaker 4: Jogged my memory.
Speaker 6: Here, Yeah, I was rich with minor all the way
Speaker 6: up until Banham and then I played major midget for
Speaker 6: the Greater Vancouver Canadians and then I took off to
Speaker 6: Penticton and started my junior career.
Speaker 4: This has been great, Troy. All the best in the
Speaker 4: summer with what's ahead with the contract and going into
Speaker 4: next season. You've always been good to our show. We
Speaker 4: can't thank you enough.
Speaker 6: Awesome guys, Thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 3: You bet.
Speaker 4: Troy Stature again spent last year with the Leafs, enjoyed
Speaker 4: his time with the Leafs. We'll see what happens to
Speaker 4: him in the summer. And you'd have to think that,
Speaker 4: and this is going to be reflected in our Waddling
Speaker 4: Dog poll question that he might be somebody from a
Speaker 4: leadership point of view and on ice point of view
Speaker 4: the Canucks might be interested in.
Speaker 1: That's the type of guy that Canucks need to turn
Speaker 1: that dressing room road don it's the worst dressing room
Speaker 1: in the NHL last two years. Guys like him and
Speaker 1: Shen and Tan of all those guys when they left
Speaker 1: it hurt. It hurt when guys like it. Good team
Speaker 1: player Connor McDavid went out of his way to mention
Speaker 1: how much of a good player a team player that
Speaker 1: Troy stretch, this stature is there? You go?
Speaker 4: Okay a break and I mentioned the waddling dog a
Speaker 4: poll question. We'll introduce it next Toni and dell you
Speaker 4: the team on check. Looking for the ultimate Vancouver Island getaway,

Speaker 4: World Cup at the Dog with Canada games shown live

Speaker 4: You don't have to go through fifty three security checks
Speaker 4: to get into the Wattling Dog. By the way, to
Speaker 4: watch the World Cup, come sit and stay at the
Speaker 4: Dog today.
Speaker 1: Rick Ryan, get her up the Watling Dog. Pop pop question.
Speaker 1: Which player with a Vancouver connection would you like most
Speaker 1: would you most like to see the Canucks acquire? Brandon
Speaker 1: Gallagher leading the way here, big big lead sixty percent,
Speaker 1: followed by Luke Shan at twenty four percent and fifteen
Speaker 1: sixteen percent Troy Stretcher. All three of these guys would
Speaker 1: bring team mentality, improve that dressing room, good culture, team players.
Speaker 1: All these guys something.
Speaker 4: You need for a rebuild.
Speaker 1: Well, something you need for a hockey club who's been
Speaker 1: a disaster in the dressing room. Why you're rebuilding, Yes, exactly,
Speaker 1: But Gallagher leading and Donnie I can see why you
Speaker 1: know obviously, Luke and Troy are getting up there in years.
Speaker 1: I don't know where they would be fit wise. I
Speaker 1: I know that as Brandon yeah is Brndan Yeah, but
Speaker 1: he I think Brendan on the right team could play
Speaker 1: a little bit higher up in the light up. But anyways,
Speaker 1: Gallagher is leading the way at sixty percent. Former Vancouver Giant.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And of course with Troy's Stecher and Luke Shen
Speaker 4: Luke Shan's had two go arounds with the Knucks, They've
Speaker 4: been here before. Maybe this is why Brendan is is
Speaker 4: leading this poll that if Knak fans haven't seen him
Speaker 4: in a Kannuck uniform. And not again, this is nothing
Speaker 4: against Troy or Luke, but that hustle that Brandon's known
Speaker 4: for and the other thing that that Brendan Gallagher rings
Speaker 4: that again. I'm always a fan of players who can
Speaker 4: wake up building up. In this case, Rogers Arena. Just
Speaker 4: the thought of him and his size doing what he
Speaker 4: does best. Among the things he does best, winning a
Speaker 4: battle in front of the net, scoring a goal versus
Speaker 4: a behemoth defenseman. You imagine what that would do to
Speaker 4: that build name. You don't see stuff like that. You
Speaker 4: want players that you know take the puck to the net,
Speaker 4: go to the front of the net, the dirty areas.
Speaker 4: Brandy Gallagher's given his such one of the best there's
Speaker 4: been the last decade or so. And I'm with the
Speaker 4: people who and again, nothing else all.
Speaker 1: Three of those guys would improve the connection. But if
Speaker 1: you got all three, would that be something? Wouldn't that
Speaker 1: be something?
Speaker 4: You have been watching this telely cup. I know you're
Speaker 4: watching the NBA.
Speaker 1: FO not I have checked into the NBA Finals. I
Speaker 1: try what's his name? Sheldon and Surrey ripping me. But
Speaker 1: this Benson guy on the Knicks, this guy, Bronson Brunson,
Speaker 1: This guy, I'm telling it. It's not Doyle Brnson. Just
Speaker 1: stop this Bruntson guy. He's been incredible, Like he is
Speaker 1: fun to watch, Like I'll tell you this much right now, Donny.
Speaker 1: I like watching him. And he nailed a three porter
Speaker 1: three pointer in the fourth quarter last night, got me
Speaker 1: up out of my seat.
Speaker 4: They lost.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got me out of my seat.
Speaker 4: But you got out of your seat to change the channel,
Speaker 4: Like just to tell you that I'm not lying.
Speaker 1: Brunson's dad is an assistant coach with the Knicks. Brunson
Speaker 1: was drafted in the second round by Dallas. They gave
Speaker 1: up on him. And I'll tell you, I did my research. Benson,
Speaker 1: Zach Benson out of Chiliwack Buffalo resigned.
Speaker 4: Of course. Uh. Bruntson's dad played for the Knicks as
Speaker 4: well in nineteen. I think it's the first time that
Speaker 4: a father and a son have played in an NBA final.
Speaker 4: I should ask you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brunson, I like him. I like him.
Speaker 4: Okay, I see Trump get booed.
Speaker 1: Or he got booed. He got booed, he got booed.
Speaker 1: I saw it him and stephen Na.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to sit here and go politically here,
Speaker 4: but why why did he go from presidents go to
Speaker 4: sporting events? Do I know?
Speaker 3: But no, first sitting president since what two thousand or
Speaker 3: something like that.
Speaker 4: I don't know the stats that ask him, he did
Speaker 4: the research.
Speaker 3: He's I said this to Quinn yesterday.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 5: If I'm him, awesome, I would absolutely I'd be a
Speaker 5: master Sunday Game seven of anything.
Speaker 4: I'm there that's you though, and yourself is I mind you?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 4: Who are we talking about here? But no, it didn't
Speaker 4: become all of it. They've they canceled the watch parties. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and security to get in is crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just.
Speaker 4: You're not thinking of the people. Give me a call, Donald,
Speaker 4: we'll talk.
Speaker 3: But you got a chance to go into a game.
Speaker 3: That was what average ticket price was, like seventy five four.
Speaker 4: Seats were going courtside seats forty grand. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 4: sure Larry David and Spike were paying that that much
Speaker 4: if they got in for free.
Speaker 3: You know they have their I mean Spike's season ticket. Whatever.
Speaker 4: What is the what happens when a celeb well you
Speaker 4: kind of want at the game because it's just like
Speaker 4: an endorsement, you know, do they pay that much? Of
Speaker 4: course they got the money. Of course they talk about
Speaker 4: you get it free.
Speaker 1: You take these celebrity Well you think Spike Lee doesn't
Speaker 1: pay to watch exactly yeah, exactly exactly what he pays
Speaker 1: to get in. You're saying, all these celebrities get in
Speaker 1: for fred I don't know. I know, I don't know
Speaker 1: Spike Lee pays. Well, you should know.
Speaker 3: You're a Celebritia.
Speaker 1: When you call it, what do you call it?
Speaker 4: Are you paying? I have to pay double? But the
Speaker 4: irony there, and what pisses a lot of people off
Speaker 4: about that situation is that you know, forty grand to
Speaker 4: sit courtside. I think Larry David has that, of course
Speaker 4: he does. I'm thinking he gets a good deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not right. By the way, does Larry David
Speaker 3: wear anything other like, it's the same thing. It's a
Speaker 3: blue scot coat and like a T shirt and khaki.
Speaker 4: Well has he everything he wears? When he gets interviewed,
Speaker 4: he talks about how his brain works, you know, twenty
Speaker 4: four to seven. He doesn't want to be thinking about
Speaker 4: what to wear. I guess he doesn't need to need
Speaker 4: to close.
Speaker 1: No, he does not need that, right.
Speaker 4: Do you ever watch kurby your Enthusiasm? Not really?
Speaker 3: I dug the scene with the tripping shack.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, when I saw court Side, I had to
Speaker 5: rewatch it last night.
Speaker 4: That's a long time ago. Oh yeah, because to make
Speaker 4: up for that, Larry David, this character, he plays himself,
Speaker 4: but he had to give Shack VHS tapes.
Speaker 1: Yeah something, So it was a it was.
Speaker 4: A long time ago. You have no idea what we're
Speaker 4: talking about.
Speaker 5: This is from Ramon Raymond Brentson shot eleven for twenty five. Yes,
Speaker 5: he makes up one of his worst games he made.
Speaker 5: They were leading at the half, what do you they were?
Speaker 5: They were up six, they were leading at the half.
Speaker 5: Did you see Cardi B.
Speaker 4: Cardi B.
Speaker 1: Who's Cardi B?
Speaker 3: The rapper musician?
Speaker 4: I have no idea he was related to Benson.
Speaker 1: No idea who Cardi B is? And I really, she said,
Speaker 1: years old?
Speaker 4: I know, how would I know who Cardi B is?
Speaker 1: If I don't listen to Cardi B.
Speaker 3: Trust me?
Speaker 4: If you sorry, you know, I don't want your memory.
Speaker 1: No I no Cardigo.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's move on here. Stanley Cup Final Game four
Speaker 4: tonight in Vegas. We mentioned the Golden Nights up two
Speaker 4: to one after Saturday's five to four double overtime win.
Speaker 4: The Night's blowing a four nothing lead in that game
Speaker 4: and they end up winning. There's been comebacks in all
Speaker 4: three games, all three games decided by one goal, two
Speaker 4: of the games going to overtime, one of the games
Speaker 4: going to double overtime. Just speed and skill on display.
Speaker 4: And I wanted to get this clip in with John
Speaker 4: Twitterolla because I thought it was really, really strong. The
Speaker 4: last time he was in a Stanley Cup final two
Speaker 4: thousand and four, Tampa Bay, Calgary. Okay, so they went
Speaker 4: in seven. Remember it was not entertaining. It was like
Speaker 4: the last whisper, the last breath of the dead puck
Speaker 4: era before the rules changed. So, you know, a couple
Speaker 4: of decades later, he's back in a Stanley Cup Final
Speaker 4: and it has been wonderfully entertaining. Nobody's choking offense in
Speaker 4: this series all throughout the playoffs the last couple of years,
Speaker 4: but this year has been exceptional, especially this Cup final,
Speaker 4: which nobody expected anything from an entertainment point of view
Speaker 4: from but it's been very solid. But here's towards on
Speaker 4: how the game has changed since and for good in
Speaker 4: a good way. Since he coached Tampa versus Calgary in
Speaker 4: the four Cup final.
Speaker 8: I think that our game has there's so much skill,
Speaker 8: the speed of it, and I just think it's I
Speaker 8: think it's a game full of mistakes.
Speaker 1: It is, it's a and it comes with youth. How
Speaker 1: young the league is.
Speaker 8: Although in this situation is a lot of veteran players
Speaker 8: in this Cup final, but the league itself, it's gone
Speaker 8: that way. You can see it during the regular season too,
Speaker 8: that no lead is safe.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: It it.
Speaker 8: Comes to coaching too. I think sometimes coaching, how much
Speaker 8: coaching are you going to do? Sometimes it's a game
Speaker 8: of mistakes.
Speaker 4: You have to live with some of those, right, And.
Speaker 8: Yeah, to pinpoint and give you an exact answer on
Speaker 8: where are game's gone to, I can't, but I know
Speaker 8: in this final during these games here, I have zero
Speaker 8: answers as far as the lead changes going back and forth.
Speaker 8: We're trying to play defense, They're trying to play defense.
Speaker 8: Give the credit to the players as far as some
Speaker 8: of the plays they've made and just some of the
Speaker 8: bounces that have gone to each team.
Speaker 4: Game so much better. And I think he's banging on
Speaker 4: when it comes to the amount of skill in the
Speaker 4: game now, the amount of speed and youth, and I
Speaker 4: think it goes back. And we talked to Christetcher just
Speaker 4: moments ago about academy anatomy, how good players now are
Speaker 4: versus years gone by. A lot of people have a
Speaker 4: problem with this, but a lot of players are playing
Speaker 4: twelve months a year. They're constantly working on their skating.
Speaker 4: Offense is a big big deal, or the ability to
Speaker 4: create offense is a big big deal at all at
Speaker 4: all ages, it seems, and just the skill level is
Speaker 4: just just so good. And he mentioned mistakes there. You
Speaker 4: see more mistakes young kids sure, the young kids, but
Speaker 4: that leads to entertainment. It's one of the reasons why
Speaker 4: if you ice the puck, you have to keep your
Speaker 4: players on the ice, right yep. And the reason for
Speaker 4: that is because it's a punishment. Okay, so there's that,
Speaker 4: But also those players are tired yep. And I remember
Speaker 4: Mark Crawford talking about this. Those players on the team
Speaker 4: that ice to puck or tired, they're more likely to
Speaker 4: make mistakes. Mistakes lead to offense, which leads to entertainment.
Speaker 4: And the games games really good. There's a lot there,
Speaker 4: much better than it was twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: And when they were out four or nothing the other night,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, there's no way, there's no way Carolina ties this.
Speaker 1: There's no freaking way.
Speaker 4: And yet there's been comebacks in all three two games before.
Speaker 1: That, but for nothing on the road is very tough
Speaker 1: to do in that building of all buildings. Good on
Speaker 1: Rod Brandamoor's team, but they don't win.
Speaker 4: It and there, and the rules have changed obviously in
Speaker 4: five after the after the lockout, that that's a big
Speaker 4: big deal. And you know, nobody's water skiing on players
Speaker 4: and getting away with with penalties because the referees don't
Speaker 4: want to, you know, change the alter the outcome of
Speaker 4: the of the game, which they were anyway by not
Speaker 4: making calls. But the other thing to look at, look
Speaker 4: at some of the great players we see on these
Speaker 4: two Mitch Martin is not a big guy. Logan Stanko
Speaker 4: not a not a big guy, and you wouldn't have
Speaker 4: seen that before. And the game is so much better
Speaker 4: for it.
Speaker 1: And the Canucks have passed up on that. Stan Covid,
Speaker 1: they took klemovis your buddy, and you know, just they
Speaker 1: passed on Hudson, They passed on a lot of small guys, Benson,
Speaker 1: Cole Caffield.
Speaker 4: Actually they did passed on Benson.
Speaker 1: They took not the guy with the knicks, the Chiloac
Speaker 1: native who who looks beautiful, great in Buffalo in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But the Canucks have passed on a lot of small
Speaker 1: guys in the last what downey four years. They got
Speaker 1: to stop doing that. They got to stop because this
Speaker 1: playoff is proving small guys are playing like giants.
Speaker 4: Now the game, the game is in a really really
Speaker 4: good place right now. How we do it for time? Okay,
Speaker 4: some business first, A major BC based television series. Oh
Speaker 4: Rick is relocating future production to California. Is it the

Speaker 3: of offense.
Speaker 5: You're not picking up what I just said there say
Speaker 5: I said, like myself and everybody, it's been a very
Speaker 5: exciting Stanley Cup Final, as I predicted.

Speaker 3: like a lot of other people, were down.
Speaker 4: We're very upset that these two teams to the Stanley
Speaker 4: Cup fund. But that's part of the entertainment here. I
Speaker 4: think it's it's been extremely shocking. The shock, the shock value,
Speaker 4: the surprise is added to it because why did I
Speaker 4: didn't expect this. It's really really good. Those are three
Speaker 4: pretty good finals, by the way. Yeah, yeah, the ones
Speaker 4: other than this year. I remember north Star's Islanders north Stars.
Speaker 4: That was eighty one eighty one, so they upset the
Speaker 4: Habs to get there. It was a big It was
Speaker 4: a big deal because the Habs had won four straight.
Speaker 4: I believe I've got that right.
Speaker 1: And in seventy three, Jacques Lameira scored overtime to win it.
Speaker 1: It was in Chicago, and I remember that. So it's sadly,
Speaker 1: Donnie and I remember eighty one, seventy three and the eighties.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that was Jacques double Jack double Jack,
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure Jacqueslamera scored.
Speaker 4: Was it?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 1: It was as Sam the Butcher scored the overtime goal.
Speaker 4: But anyway, so you know what I'm thinking of. I'm
Speaker 4: thinking of over Shard, Remember him scoring two goals the
Speaker 4: Hawks had it won and then he scored two leg
Speaker 4: goals for them to win. Now I was I was
Speaker 4: thinking more rmb Shard than I think it was Jacquela.
Speaker 4: And I want to say nineteen seventy one was the
Speaker 4: year that I'm thinking of anyway, But.
Speaker 5: No, this has been a completely different final than research
Speaker 5: this I know, and look at there's even people like
Speaker 5: pundits in the game, like I heard Ray Ferrara was
Speaker 5: on Dan Patrick yesterday and Ray said he didn't see
Speaker 5: this with the goals. He thought he was He thought
Speaker 5: every game is gonna be two one, which I think
Speaker 5: a lot of people did. Look at towards that clip
Speaker 5: we just played, he said it like both teams are
Speaker 5: trying to play defense.
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily.
Speaker 5: I don't think either goaltender has been great, but they
Speaker 5: also haven't been awful. Like, it's just bizarre the way
Speaker 5: these games have exploded with offense and these comebacks and
Speaker 5: everything going on.
Speaker 3: It's crazy. The other stat how about this, guys, this
Speaker 3: is involving This is from Johnny Lazarus. Okay, from a
Speaker 3: Daily Faceoff.
Speaker 4: I got that wrong about the Deity one Final, by
Speaker 4: the way, but go ahead.
Speaker 5: Sorry, Johnny Lazarus Daily Faceoff. Jordan Stall could become the
Speaker 5: first player with a four game goal streak to open
Speaker 5: a Stanley Cup finals since Mike Bossy did it in
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 4: You know where he's going. Go ahead, Snaps, Harol Snaps
Speaker 4: always with Harold Snaps.
Speaker 1: Had the pocket was five to five and overtime and
Speaker 1: just coughs it up to Mike Bossy bang bang back
Speaker 1: of the net behind Richard Burder as a kid, demoralized
Speaker 1: as a kid, took a long time to get over.
Speaker 1: Still not over it, clearly, I still have not Harold
Speaker 1: about it. I have not forgiven Harold snaps and I
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna get text but or because I was.
Speaker 4: Five five don in overtime and it coughed it out
Speaker 4: how over time works. But Harold to this day feels
Speaker 4: awful about that. Yeah, apparently the word is he went.
Speaker 4: You had to go for a long walk on the beach,
Speaker 4: and in the day is often really to get it
Speaker 4: and get it out of it. In my mind Harold
Speaker 4: was sorry. If I'm getting the story run and he
Speaker 4: feels bad about it, you bring it up every time,
Speaker 4: Little You're like babcock.
Speaker 1: No, Little Rickie was fourteen and in tears and crying,
Speaker 1: and that Bossy bang bang back of the net, best
Speaker 1: left winger in the history hockey, last guy right and
Speaker 1: the world, the right winger, last guy in the world
Speaker 1: on fire, This last guy in the world. You want
Speaker 1: to give the puck to it overtime like that is
Speaker 1: Mike Bostling.
Speaker 4: I think Mike bom Bless him by the way.
Speaker 1: Oh, he was the best nine fifty goals seasons.
Speaker 3: I think he's under talked about he because it was
Speaker 3: so quick.
Speaker 4: But Rick Rick just mentioned the stat I can't believe
Speaker 4: he got it right. But he started his career with
Speaker 4: nine to fifty.
Speaker 1: It's nice.
Speaker 4: The shot high glove, Oh my gosh, so good.
Speaker 1: The puck would be on his stick and it would
Speaker 1: be off his stick, bang, bang, back of the net. Anyways,
Speaker 1: Number twenty two, number twenty two, Just a great, great, great,
Speaker 1: great player.
Speaker 3: Up next big eleven o'clock hour.
Speaker 5: Tyler Zicko from the Vancouver Canadians going to join you
Speaker 5: guys around eleven.
Speaker 3: Fifteen or so.

Speaker 4: if I can get this right this time. All of
Speaker 4: our guests today on this Tuesday, including Craig Button, standing by,
Speaker 4: brought to you by our title sponsor Able Auctions, Ableauctions
Speaker 4: dot c A. Here he is. TSN Scotting Director attended
Speaker 4: the NHL Scouting Combine in Buffalo.
Speaker 3: Craig Button, thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 7: I'm really good. Nice to see rip backed in the
Speaker 7: chair hopefully feeling better, no worse for the wear.
Speaker 1: Gut it out, gut it out, Craig.
Speaker 7: Listen. Yeah, if you're not anything else, you're tough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tough. Though we both had a tough we both
Speaker 1: missed a when I missed time.
Speaker 4: It's going around in Vancouver World Cup feed.
Speaker 7: Maybe that's okay.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. Hey, what did you What did you learn?
Speaker 4: I saw some of your clips from TSAM, But what
Speaker 4: did you learn about Gavin McKenna that maybe you didn't
Speaker 4: know in Buffalo?
Speaker 7: I would say nothing. I mean I know Gavin pretty well.
Speaker 7: I mean I haven't visited white Horse to visit the family,
Speaker 7: so I can't speak to that. Willie Cristal and you
Speaker 7: know meant them in the past.
Speaker 1: I said this.
Speaker 7: About Gavin, and I think that and he talked about this,
Speaker 7: and maybe what I did learn is Gavin's openness to
Speaker 7: discussing his journey this past year and some of the
Speaker 7: ups and some of the downs and on how forthcoming
Speaker 7: he was. And I talked about the maturity and the
Speaker 7: growth that he showed on the ice, and I was
Speaker 7: massively impressed by that, you know, understanding who he was
Speaker 7: playing with, what level, what the level competition was, about,
Speaker 7: how we dug in, how we dealt with some of
Speaker 7: the different challenges that he was confronted with, and I
Speaker 7: think that his honesty, his his I guess this recognition that, hey,
Speaker 7: it's not a straight upward trajectory at times and trying
Speaker 7: to navigate through some of those. He talked about not
Speaker 7: having a lot of confidence at different times and building
Speaker 7: that and everything that he that he talked about this
Speaker 7: past year, and he wasn't afraid of the challenge. But
Speaker 7: one of the things that he learned from the challenges
Speaker 7: and his honesty and talking about what they were and
Speaker 7: how they helped them really significant.
Speaker 4: So maybe you knew this, but I didn't know this,
Speaker 4: But you talked about his tattoo and his time spent
Speaker 4: hunting north of white Horse, if that's possible with his grandfather.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so yeah, that's something I'd read the and I'd
Speaker 7: read the article on NHL dot com, so I know
Speaker 7: he had outlined it before. But again, like those parts
Speaker 7: of his life that are really significant in for any
Speaker 7: of us when we think about parents, grandparents, you know,
Speaker 7: support group, you know, family and friends around it. And
Speaker 7: and also so where you're from four hours north of
Speaker 7: white Horse hunting moose and they'll have to go to
Speaker 7: Algonquin Park in Ontario if he's drafted by the Leafs
Speaker 7: to hunt moose, because there's no moose in downtown Toronto
Speaker 7: and they're not close to downtown Toronto. But again, it's
Speaker 7: the time you spend with your loved ones in those
Speaker 7: moments that there's no spotlight on those like there are
Speaker 7: when you're a hockey player or an athlete or anything
Speaker 7: that's in the public eye, and those moments are always special.
Speaker 7: And when you're a young player being our young person
Speaker 7: and somebody's showing you the way of their life and
Speaker 7: bringing you into that way of life, I mean, those
Speaker 7: are things you just never forget Craig.
Speaker 1: How do you think Caleb Mahultra did in Buffalo? A
Speaker 1: lot of attention on him in Vancouver. There's a really
Speaker 1: good possibility they might take him. How did you think
Speaker 1: he did in an interviews with the media teams all that.
Speaker 1: What do you hear about him in Buffalo?
Speaker 7: You know, my first inclination is to make a little
Speaker 7: joke and say he did terrible, but that's not fair.
Speaker 7: Then somebody will pick up that. Oh, they'll pick up
Speaker 7: that little thing. Listen, Caleb's very mature. He's he's been
Speaker 7: in the public spotlight since the day he was born.
Speaker 7: And not him specifically, but you know, growing up in
Speaker 7: the family that he grew up with, his with his father,
Speaker 7: certainly his uncle was in the public spotlight. And and Caleb,
Speaker 7: Caleb's comfortable in the spotlight. He's comfortable speaking about his experiences.
Speaker 7: And when you watch him on the ice, you know,
Speaker 7: like what a terrific player he is. I don't think
Speaker 7: there's any question. Uh, when you when you hear him
Speaker 7: talk and hear him interact with the media and with others,
Speaker 7: I mean, it's it's really impressive. It's no question that
Speaker 7: you're looking at a not not just a top end player,
Speaker 7: but a top end person. And you know, Ryan Johnson
Speaker 7: and the Citenes and have talked about, you know, what
Speaker 7: it means to be a Vancouver Canuck and what it
Speaker 7: means to give back to the community and be be
Speaker 7: a good representative of the community. I mean, if you're
Speaker 7: talking about checking boxes outside of the hockey plan, Caleb
Speaker 7: checks them.
Speaker 1: Hey, Craig, we know the eye test. All these teams
Speaker 1: have seen the players all season long, multiple views. What's
Speaker 1: the biggest thing they take away from the combine?
Speaker 7: Well, I mean all the CEE you get fifteen to
Speaker 7: twenty minutes with each of the players, and I guess
Speaker 7: there's some face time, which is always nice. I mean,
Speaker 7: the players are so well prepared. I heard this from
Speaker 7: a number of the players. They go, you know, they
Speaker 7: get asked what kind of questions you get asked? And
Speaker 7: they laugh about some of them, but they all understand
Speaker 7: the process. Some of the questions are to try to
Speaker 7: get you off balanced, some of them try to get
Speaker 7: you to think and whatnot, But all in all, it's
Speaker 7: face time. I look at the testing as a benchmark
Speaker 7: exercise where these players are at seventeen eighteen years old,
Speaker 7: so you start.
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 7: Most of them, the vast majority of them are not
Speaker 7: close to the NHL. So you start with the benchmarking.
Speaker 7: Here's where they're at today, what do we have to
Speaker 7: work with? You know, I've said this before. I think
Speaker 7: the medical testing that they go through is really really important.
Speaker 7: You never know what maybe hiding. And I've mentioned David
Speaker 7: carl who's the head coach of the Denver Pioneers hockey
Speaker 7: team and at the University of Denver. You know, they
Speaker 7: found a heart problem and he had to end his
Speaker 7: playing career. So I think that that's really important. And
Speaker 7: the benchmarking, I mean, I don't care how many whole
Speaker 7: lots of guy does or how many jumps he does
Speaker 7: or hide. You know, it's okay, here's where he's at.
Speaker 7: You know, what do we have to do to get
Speaker 7: him to be the best he can be with his
Speaker 7: skill set and with the attributes that he possesses. And
Speaker 7: I think that's that's the bench marking that I look
Speaker 7: at it as. The medical is really important. And hey,
Speaker 7: getting the players comfortable in front of the media, getting
Speaker 7: talking about their experiences, going through those meetings, even if
Speaker 7: they're just short by nature. I mean a number of
Speaker 7: the players going for dinner with the teams. You know,
Speaker 7: we know that, but I think that that really helps
Speaker 7: the players because they're going to be asked lots of
Speaker 7: questions over the course of their careers, and I think
Speaker 7: getting them comfortable thinking on their feet, thinking in front
Speaker 7: of people, they're asking questions you might not be expecting.
Speaker 7: I think that's a good exercise for the young players
Speaker 7: to go through.
Speaker 1: How surprised were you when you heard Mike Babcock and
Speaker 1: Edmonton yesterday, Craig.
Speaker 7: I would say, mildly surprised, like because you know, Mike's
Speaker 7: talked about not coaching, being retired and whatnot. But you
Speaker 7: knows as you stop and think about it, and I
Speaker 7: do think. I mean, Mike, Mike's resume as a coach
Speaker 7: is simply outstanding. And you know, it's not a criticism
Speaker 7: of any coach it's not working currently, but there's no
Speaker 7: coach not currently working that's better qualified than Mike.
Speaker 1: God talk.
Speaker 7: And so when I look at it and think about,
Speaker 7: you know the fact that the Edmonton Orders have reached
Speaker 7: out to the NHLPA and trying to understand what a
Speaker 7: path would look like for him. Keep in mind Mike
Speaker 7: Mike hasn't done anything illegal. He's done some things that
Speaker 7: you know that uh, you know, weren't received very well,
Speaker 7: to say it mildly. But if you acknowledge the mistakes
Speaker 7: of your past and you move forward and you make
Speaker 7: sure you're not going to repeat them, you're looking at
Speaker 7: a top notch coach. And for the Edmonton Oilers, that's
Speaker 7: what they're looking for. Somebody that's won, somebody that's got
Speaker 7: a lot of experience. I think Chris Nablock did a
Speaker 7: wonderful job. And you know, that's for another conversation. When
Speaker 7: I talked about my feelings about Holly was treated there,
Speaker 7: but I think that that's that's water under the bridge now.
Speaker 7: But Mike god talks top notch coach.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all sorts of coaching news and issues right now
Speaker 4: your levolette with the A La Kings. But I want
Speaker 4: to ask you this, Craig, when it comes to Toronto,
Speaker 4: and this name has been thrown up there, why the
Speaker 4: interest in Joe Pavelski, who retired as a player what
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago and has been coaching minor hockey.
Speaker 4: Why the interest in him as a head coach.
Speaker 7: Well, I think it's the Marty Saint Louis. Fact, I
Speaker 7: do believe that that that that plays a part in this.
Speaker 7: I guess when you're going to cast a wide net,
Speaker 7: you want to cast a wide net. You want to
Speaker 7: consider different people that you know might fit into your organization.
Speaker 7: And I certainly you know, I love Joe Pazowski as
Speaker 7: a player. He was always a smart, thinking player. I
Speaker 7: mean again, I'm a believer in that if you want
Speaker 7: to go down this path with Joe Pavowski, two things
Speaker 7: must be true. At the same time, you better be
Speaker 7: really patient as he learns how to coach, because he's
Speaker 7: still in he's still in the infancy stages of coaching.
Speaker 7: Marty Saint Louis had a lot more coaching experience even
Speaker 7: at the levels he was at that Joe Podowski's at.
Speaker 7: So and you better be ready to be number one
Speaker 7: patient and you better be ready to support him with
Speaker 7: some real significant experience. That's what I think.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 7: One of the things that you know, My colleague get
Speaker 7: tsn Brian Hayes said, Oh, I love it that they're
Speaker 7: thinking out of the box. Out of the box doesn't
Speaker 7: mean smart. So let's just be clear here, Okay, So
Speaker 7: if you understand, and Joe gets to express himself and
Speaker 7: what he would do and how he feels he can
Speaker 7: have the job, and then you feel you're going to
Speaker 7: be and support him. Well, then that's the right thing.
Speaker 7: Just this like this is vague, all out of the
Speaker 7: box thinking. Trust me, it's not. Uh, it's not something
Speaker 7: that I buy into. I need specifics. I don't need
Speaker 7: any of this. Oh it's great because it's out of
Speaker 7: the box thinking. Some out of the box thinking is ridiculous.
Speaker 4: Well, you sound like an old man there, and you're
Speaker 4: you're on the right show.
Speaker 7: Happy to be an old one, because you know what
Speaker 7: it's it's about having an experience about no one. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm saying, you're on the right show, Craig.
Speaker 4: It's yeah, perfect for our show. And very quickly, Brandon
Speaker 4: Bussy or Freddy Anderson tonight. I don't even know if
Speaker 4: if they've made a choice yet, Carolina.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know either. I would I would choose
Speaker 7: Brandon Bussey for these two reasons. Number one is that
Speaker 7: Freddie Anderson looks like he's slipping a little bit. He
Speaker 7: looks like his game has slit. Twelve goals against and
Speaker 7: it's not just the goals against, it's it's the way
Speaker 7: he's looking. He's not He's not looking at Sharper as
Speaker 7: as on his game and number two. It forces the
Speaker 7: Vegas gold Knights into a different look. You know, they
Speaker 7: don't have the they've had lots of confidence scoring on
Speaker 7: Freddie Anderson. Give him a different look. And Brandon Bussey
Speaker 7: played very well in his relief appearance in game three.
Speaker 7: That's why I would start Brandon Bussy in game four.
Speaker 4: You may be old in years, but look at you,
Speaker 4: you look like a young buck. Craig. We can't thank
Speaker 4: you enough.
Speaker 7: My dear aunt Rita died at ninety five. My grandmother's sister,
Speaker 7: My grandmother died at one hundred. My dear Auntie Rita
Speaker 7: took up belly dancing at ninety whoa what she always
Speaker 7: told us when we were kids. He goes, I know
Speaker 7: a lot of young people that are old, and I
Speaker 7: know a lot of old people that are young. She says,
Speaker 7: never stop being young.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, we're gonna get you to belly dance on
Speaker 4: this show, all right, no honor event, aunt Rita.
Speaker 1: Thanks for this, Craig.

Speaker 4: Hope he's still here. Tyler Zickel Johnny his voice of

Speaker 4: six fifty sees open a six game homestand versus Everett
Speaker 4: Tonight Nat Bailey Stadium Tonight, Rick seventy five, sant Hotdog
Speaker 4: Night and Addison Barger Bobblehead Giveaway Night and Tyler joins us. Now,
Speaker 4: thanks for doing this, sir? How are Yeah? But you've
Speaker 4: never heard of Lance Pittlock.
Speaker 10: No, you know what, Please excuse my American ignorance. I
Speaker 10: am not on game for Lance Pittlock. And that's the
Speaker 10: first for me, because you know Zikell and pickle that
Speaker 10: rhymes that's the very.
Speaker 1: Of my youth.
Speaker 11: But I'll take pitt Lick.
Speaker 4: Sure. Hey, hey, listen, he's actually America. So you got
Speaker 4: to do some more research on Lance Todder. What do
Speaker 4: you remember of what Adison Barger's saiding and now with
Speaker 4: the Blue Jays, and I know he's had some injury
Speaker 4: issues his time with the vankor of Canadians.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, first of all, fella, it's always a pleasure
Speaker 11: to be with you.
Speaker 10: I think this is the second time I've joined you
Speaker 10: from a vehicle, though this time I'm in Vancouver in
Speaker 10: our Canadians cruiser were at the Ronald McDonald house doing
Speaker 10: a player appearance, so I stepped away to hang out
Speaker 10: with you fellows for a bit.
Speaker 11: But talk about Addison Barger. Not only were his biceps pretty.
Speaker 10: Big when he was a Canadian in twenty twenty one
Speaker 10: and twenty twenty two, but you could tell there are
Speaker 10: just guys I've seen in my six seasons with the
Speaker 10: Canadians and twelve seasons in minor league baseball, you can
Speaker 10: just tell they have the it factor, a certain or
Speaker 10: a certain presence on the field. Barger had that in spades.
Speaker 10: We got him for a week that first season of
Speaker 10: the higay Era where we played south through the border
Speaker 10: for the entire year, and then he rejoined us to
Speaker 10: start twenty twenty two. And you guys know, and many
Speaker 10: of your listeners and viewers know that big right field
Speaker 10: wall at the nat No match for Addison, Barger power
Speaker 10: played a great shortstop when he was in the minor leagues.
Speaker 10: Of course, he is an outfielder now with that cannon
Speaker 10: of an arm. So we saw in Vancouver lots of
Speaker 10: the things Blue Jays are appreciating about Addison now, the
Speaker 10: big bat, the big arm, and a guy who just
Speaker 10: finds ways to impact the game. Of course, the best
Speaker 10: ability is availability, and he's not been too available this year.
Speaker 10: But as soon as Barger is back to full health,
Speaker 10: along with Kirk and some other guys, I think this
Speaker 10: Blue Jays team is only going to get better and better.
Speaker 4: Okay, so we focused on Americans here, including lent Lens Peddlic.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about a Canadian for a second. What can
Speaker 4: you tell us about twenty one year old Sam Shaw,
Speaker 4: outfielder from Vancouver Island. I understand he's back from the
Speaker 4: injured list for the season.
Speaker 10: Yes, Sam backed with us, back healthy after a pretty
Speaker 10: big health scare last year. We sat down for our
Speaker 10: Sunday show in Sports at six fifty SE's on deck
Speaker 10: to have a conversation and Sam took me through the
Speaker 10: whole process and essentially he was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome,
Speaker 10: which we often hear for pitchers being a problem, and
Speaker 10: his nerves were pinched in such a way that blood
Speaker 10: clots were being pumped out into his so our trainer
Speaker 10: last year, Katie Rayis, she caught it. Other you know,
Speaker 10: folks couldn't quite figure out why he was having numbness
Speaker 10: in his arm, why he wasn't able to perform at
Speaker 10: his usual levels, so they caught it. He had some surgery,
Speaker 10: he rehabbed both here in Vancouver, over on the Island
Speaker 10: and down in Florida of course where the player Development
Speaker 10: complex is.
Speaker 11: And so to get him back is a big boost
Speaker 11: for us, not just on the field but off.
Speaker 10: We haven't had any Canadians play for the Canadians this
Speaker 10: year except for quebec Qua Matt Belay, which was only
Speaker 10: he was only on the team for two games to
Speaker 10: start the year before he got hurt. So nice to
Speaker 10: have an Islander on our roster right now. But Sam
Speaker 10: immediately making an impact in centerfield on Sunday. He's a
Speaker 10: guy who's not having much power, but somebody who can
Speaker 10: spray the ball all over the field make an impact
Speaker 10: with his wheels on the bases and plays a good
Speaker 10: center field as well. So looking forward to getting him
Speaker 10: back in full strength and also in front of the
Speaker 10: home crowd tonight.
Speaker 4: Guess what tyder?
Speaker 1: How great the Nolan Perry named the Northwest League Pitcher
Speaker 1: of the month for me after five starts.
Speaker 10: Nolan Perry came out of nowhere, and certainly for me, guys,
Speaker 10: I try and stay with my ear to the ground
Speaker 10: across the entire Blue Jays organization, but even I was.
Speaker 11: Late to the Nolan Perry party.
Speaker 10: He was dealing in Florida State League action for the
Speaker 10: single added in Blue Jays. He was pitcher of the
Speaker 10: week down in the FSL for one of his great starts.
Speaker 10: In April, joined us and immediately hit the ground running.
Speaker 10: At one point had eighteen consecutive scoreless innings. He made
Speaker 10: five starts in the month of May twenty five innings,
Speaker 10: had forty strikeouts in those twenty five frames and an
Speaker 10: ERA of one point zero eight. A guy who just
Speaker 10: puts up double digit strikeouts with these And the thing
Speaker 10: that's been most impressive for me about Nolan, who's now
Speaker 10: the number sixteen Blue Jays prospect to quit an MLB pipeline.
Speaker 11: He just stays so level, so steady.
Speaker 10: He's also been great with the media, so perhaps we
Speaker 10: can get him on this show at some point before
Speaker 10: the year is out. But I always appreciate guys who
Speaker 10: not only are great players, but great people. And after
Speaker 10: a month of having Nolan on the roster, I can
Speaker 10: say he's both.
Speaker 11: He's a guy.
Speaker 10: You give him the ball, you know you're gonna get
Speaker 10: five strong innings, maybe six innings, like he did the
Speaker 10: other day in Pasco, Washington.
Speaker 11: So for me, Nolan Perry is very much a name the.
Speaker 10: Blue Jays face need to know for the next season
Speaker 10: or two and could be pitching in the Blue Jays
Speaker 10: jersey before sooner rather than later.
Speaker 4: That is Argin and Nemala. And we spent a lot
Speaker 4: of time last time, last couple of times you were
Speaker 4: here talking about him. A high draft pick for the
Speaker 4: Blue Jays. Do you understand why he's been promoted to
Speaker 4: double a ball, I believe, Toddler.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so the Blue Jays of course sent him last
Speaker 10: year as one of the top Blue Jays prospects. In fact,
Speaker 10: he was number one until Trey Savage's meteoric rise had
Speaker 10: him jump over Argent in the rankings, and now Trey
Speaker 10: has just lost his prospect status since he's now.
Speaker 11: Reached that minimum endings in the big leagues.
Speaker 10: So Argin right now the number two Blue Jays prospect
Speaker 10: behind Jojo Parker, and they sent him back to US
Speaker 10: this year just to be able to challenge.
Speaker 11: Him in a different way.
Speaker 10: They had always challenged him in years prior by sending
Speaker 10: him to higher levels. He was always the youngest player
Speaker 10: in the league, like he was for US last year,
Speaker 10: but now this year he had an opportunity not just
Speaker 10: to play so well on the field with his own
Speaker 10: individual talents, but to rise into the role of a
Speaker 10: clubhouse leader, which he did so well for the six
Speaker 10: weeks he was here in twenty twenty six. He also
Speaker 10: was able to make an impact on the bases and
Speaker 10: continue to play aggressive defense. The one thing they were
Speaker 10: looking for him just consistent approach and consistent recovery after
Speaker 10: every game, and those things he checked all those boxes.
Speaker 10: I talked to Blue Jay's director who played development, Joe Slaffani,
Speaker 10: when he was at the NAT two weeks ago, and
Speaker 10: Joe had nothing but high praises for argins work in Vancouver.
Speaker 10: He earned that promotion to double A and it was
Speaker 10: off to a great start in the Eastern League with
Speaker 10: batting north of three hundred. Had a bit of a
Speaker 10: leg issue trying to leg out an infield hit a
Speaker 10: couple of weeks ago, so he's currently down on the
Speaker 10: injured list, but they're going to get him back healthy
Speaker 10: and that fisher Cats team is the best team in
Speaker 10: the organization right now in terms of wins losses, so
Speaker 10: they're looking to get him back asap.
Speaker 4: The new Hampshire fisher Cats. Lance Pittlick's a big fan
Speaker 4: of the Ah yeah, seventy five cent hot dog night
Speaker 4: and that Bailly Tyler enjoy it.

Speaker 4: the time. So a lot of people in our bayside
Speaker 4: remember we talked about this in the Bayside Bears. There
Speaker 4: you go the Bayside inbox. They want to know, I
Speaker 4: guess did Quinn talk about bears story? It ripped you
Speaker 4: With our family, I don't know how he could rip me.
Speaker 4: My car was parked in our driveway and this has happened.
Speaker 4: We live in bear country where we live way out
Speaker 4: and deepest, darkest an more. And as it happens, usually
Speaker 4: two or three times you had a bear break into
Speaker 4: my car. Oh yeah, but two nights ago. But the
Speaker 4: reason for him likely getting into your car was because
Speaker 4: we've golfed. My me and my two boys reading Quinn
Speaker 4: golfed on Sunday at Golden Eagle. Apologize to a Whistler,
Speaker 4: but they're not open. So we went to Golden Eagle
Speaker 4: and on the way back we didn't eat at all.
Speaker 4: So they convinced me to go to Popeye's and five
Speaker 4: guys chicken. Yeah, yeah, and so there was some remnants
Speaker 4: left over and that where there were no remnants left over,
Speaker 4: but I think the set was still in the in
Speaker 4: the dr Yeah, it wouldn't.
Speaker 3: It could be a.
Speaker 4: Pickle that I had a year ago and the bear
Speaker 4: would you know, sniff it somehow and you know, and
Speaker 4: and going something. But they opened the door, and they
Speaker 4: did they rummage about. There was this I had this box,
Speaker 4: I don't know what, there's some tools in it. And
Speaker 4: he took the or she took the box and this
Speaker 4: plastic box container and moved it to the front seat.
Speaker 4: Looked around like it's unbelievable, right, shirt all over the place.
Speaker 5: But did you end up ripping into Quinn and read?
Speaker 5: Because Quinn said yesterday he was gonna get ripped, you.
Speaker 4: Know, he just thought. He just assumed that I would
Speaker 4: be in a bad mood because of it. But I
Speaker 4: didn't notice until I was driving that can you smell?
Speaker 4: And it's like, what's going on? She's okay, there was
Speaker 4: a bear in my car, not the first time. I'm cool.
Speaker 3: I'm Calm's surprising.
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, absolutely it was not their fault. No, I
Speaker 4: would still blame them years past but but yeah, and
Speaker 4: so I guess read. My older boy woke up in
Speaker 4: the morning he saw my cars car doors open and
Speaker 4: it was a bear.
Speaker 1: Scary stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah it is. It is a bit, but it's kind
Speaker 4: of also cool. And of the thing is that we
Speaker 4: saw the guy you think laid back home by the
Speaker 4: animal Village hall. There was a bear rummaging around and like,
Speaker 4: I'm not cuting. Then sure enough he paid a visit
Speaker 4: to my car a few hours later.
Speaker 1: But these kids don't take their junk out of cars.
Speaker 1: I got the same thing problem.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they leave their Starbucks fries.

Speaker 1: to clean the car cars and rooms to rooms. Their
Speaker 1: rooms are a mess.
Speaker 4: Although you'll see Quinn.
Speaker 3: Has really a point that it's hard to dispute what it.
Speaker 4: Is because he does he talk about my car. No, No,

Speaker 13: No, his clothes in his drawer he doesn't fall. He
Speaker 13: doesn't ask him about He says, folding's over right, Quinn Beleeze.

Speaker 3: I want to get this in.
Speaker 1: The New Westminster City Council voted four to three in
Speaker 1: favor of a statue for Punch McLean or a very
Speaker 1: good friend. They will now send a formal letter to

Speaker 1: of a legend.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't get that at all. Perry
Speaker 4: and Vancouver. Is it just me or if? One of
Speaker 4: the big problems with the Canucks. Is the dressing room
Speaker 4: currently on the two currently on the team would Rick
Speaker 4: like to see gone because they're bad for the dressing room?
Speaker 4: Or there's that element gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, A good chunk of that element's gone. I mean,
Speaker 1: think about it. The guys that wanted out are all out.
Speaker 1: You don't want guys in your dressing room that want out.
Speaker 1: They're all gone?
Speaker 4: Is it just me from Dwight?
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 4: But very cool? Playing Tom Jones two days in a row.
Speaker 4: One of the greatest voices of all time. My favorite
Speaker 4: Welsh person, and again that's from Dwight. Tom Jones. I
Speaker 4: believe Elvis was jealous of his voice. Or you're a
Speaker 4: fan of Tom jones Jones voice, right, he doesn't he
Speaker 4: shook us hips to Rick?
Speaker 1: Oh I know, I know he was great in Vegas.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, you're banging on, Donny. Here's one for you.
Speaker 1: Don You're right, don Take the best player available in
Speaker 1: the draft and you can use them later for trading
Speaker 1: for position of a player that's white Rock Troy.
Speaker 4: Take the best player.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of negativity towards Caleb Mahultra. I
Speaker 1: really do, well.
Speaker 4: The only reason you're taking him is because he's a center.
Speaker 4: People have a problem with that, but.
Speaker 1: They do have him highly ranked, I believe, second on
Speaker 1: their board. So I mean it's not like he's ranked
Speaker 1: tenth overall. He's ranked pretty high by him. They do
Speaker 1: like him a lot.
Speaker 4: Be the best of both worlds. Your highest ranked player
Speaker 4: on your list, I'm talking about the Knacks list happens
Speaker 4: to be a center in Caleb Maultra. Maybe that'll that'll
Speaker 4: be the case. But if Stenberger McKenna are there, which
Speaker 4: I'm not so sure as likely, man big decision. Jeeves
Speaker 4: from Surrey.
Speaker 1: Is he just me?
Speaker 4: But I'm not surprised. Rick doesn't remember Cardi B but
Speaker 4: remembers Kodak Black.
Speaker 1: God Kodak Black. There was a video of him at
Speaker 1: at There's.
Speaker 4: Videos of I too.
Speaker 1: Before Kodak Black did what he did at the Panthers game,
Speaker 1: I had no clue this guy existed.
Speaker 4: I think I believe he's in legally.
Speaker 1: I don't listen to that music. I listened to the eighties, eighties, eighties, eighties,
Speaker 1: best decade ever. The Caducks don't have the players to
Speaker 1: play a heavy game, and unless they have the skilled
Speaker 1: big men, there will be no room for the small
Speaker 1: players to utilize their speed. That's that Cam. Travis Cams
Speaker 1: a buddy of ours. But listen, Cam, the Canucks have
Speaker 1: passed on a lot of skill kids who are in
Speaker 1: the playoffs today. Skill kids. I'm not asking you to
Speaker 1: get small guys in bottom six. I'm asking you I
Speaker 1: don't pass on a god like stan Covin, like the
Speaker 1: Canucks dead and kabloops two feet away and they paid
Speaker 1: the price. And look at Stan Coban once you got
Speaker 1: thirteen points in fourteen playoff games.
Speaker 4: It's been tremendous. And I just wonder if you like
Speaker 4: I've never been overly impressed with Miko Ranton, and I
Speaker 4: mean the people who know a lot more about hockey
Speaker 4: than I do just love the guy. But man'stan Covin's
Speaker 4: hustle is something else.
Speaker 1: Watching fort Jack, watch stan Covin. Ford Is Mortar never.
Speaker 4: Start a skill there as well? Is it just me
Speaker 4: garthan Ladner? Or the Orders don't need a new coach,
Speaker 4: they need a goalie. Maybe the Canucks should make a
Speaker 4: deal for Dempco since they're in a rebuild, trading in
Speaker 4: your division shouldn't matter. That's a great submission by Garth
Speaker 4: and Ladder. We're at a time here. We'll wrap up
Speaker 4: the show in the poll question one dog Poll question next,
Speaker 4: Donny Dellery Team on check.
Speaker 9: The BC Construction Safety Alliance is a not for profit

Speaker 1: show today and did say that if the Canucks do
