Speaker 2: Your local sports coverage lives here.
Speaker 3: Two nothing.
Speaker 2: It's Alva not so fast Coho breath with John Taylor.
Speaker 3: I say that the winner of the draft lottery should
Speaker 3: be the winner of a two man loose.
Speaker 4: And Rick Dolly Wall I had a cherry tree up
Speaker 4: a little Ricky. I used to go up that tree
Speaker 4: and just sit there for hours and bunch on New
Speaker 4: Cherry Years.
Speaker 2: Donnie and Dolly.
Speaker 3: Ten o'clock at downtown Vancouver, Brother Paul Carson Studio. Thanks
Speaker 3: for tuning in, folks. It's Donnia and Dolly the team
Speaker 3: on Check. Don Taylor, along with Rick Dolly Wall. Ryan
Speaker 3: Henderson is our producer. He's the man that the controls
Speaker 3: are directed. The voice of God is Derek One. How
Speaker 3: are you couldn't be better?
Speaker 4: It's raining today. Don't start, don't start. You know we
Speaker 4: had a good string of seven eight days of sun
Speaker 4: and now.
Speaker 3: Not so much.
Speaker 4: Don't start.
Speaker 3: Gloomy outside, gloomy inside Rogers Arena. Last night we'll talk
Speaker 3: about the Stars and the Canucks in a bit. But
Speaker 3: I want to.
Speaker 4: Start the show with this.
Speaker 3: Moments ago, we finished recording an interview with Penn State
Speaker 3: men's hockey head coach. He's been there for thirteen seasons,
Speaker 3: Guy Goadowski, who's from Ebonton, and the reason we got
Speaker 3: Guy on the show is obvious. He is the head
Speaker 3: coach of the Penn State Nitney Lion is the leading
Speaker 3: scorer is Gavin McKenna, Canadian?
Speaker 4: Good kid? Likely?
Speaker 3: Can I use that word? I think I think I
Speaker 3: can the first overall pick come June in the National
Speaker 3: Hockey League Draft. You want to pay attention to this
Speaker 3: interview for a couple of reasons. We brought up Gavin's
Speaker 3: infamous I would say, off vice incident, so that you're
Speaker 3: also not going to believe who Guy Godowski compares Gavin
Speaker 3: McKenna too, So you want to stick around for that.
Speaker 3: That's our next segments. Meanwhile, Rogers Arena Last Night Stars
Speaker 3: meant did they make it look easy? After that first
Speaker 3: Stars over the Cannucks by a score of six, six
Speaker 3: to one, We're not going to do a highlight. I
Speaker 3: think we're past that given the given the season, We're
Speaker 3: not a highlight show given the season the Canucks have had.
Speaker 3: But I will show this Dallas's first first goal Adam Ernie.
Speaker 3: And you know how at the end of every really
Speaker 3: horrible season that any team in any sport has, the
Speaker 3: television stations like ours and others networks will put together
Speaker 3: a highlight reel that just kind of sums up every
Speaker 3: thing for what this team went through. That this goal
Speaker 3: will be there. This is nothing against the key to Tolapilo.
Speaker 3: There were other just horrible goals last night that definitely
Speaker 3: weren't his fault. The giveaways, but the Connects had like
Speaker 3: twenty one twenty two giveaways last night. It was It
Speaker 3: was an awful performance by them in the second and
Speaker 3: third period. And I know we expect that now, and
Speaker 3: maybe that's a good thing if you're a rebuilt person
Speaker 3: like I am. But this goal just kind of kind
Speaker 3: of summed things.
Speaker 4: Up, typifies their year done. It's just everything that could
Speaker 4: go wrong this year has gone wrong, and this goal
Speaker 4: right here tells you this is the year. This is
Speaker 4: the kind of year has been for the Vancouver Connects
Speaker 4: right there.
Speaker 3: And again, nothing against Telapillo. It was six to one.
Speaker 3: If it wasn't for that guy, it would have been
Speaker 3: ten or eleven one. Well, that actually played a good
Speaker 3: game and he gave up six goals.
Speaker 4: What if Ranton was in the lineup last night done,
Speaker 4: it would have been Yeah, there you go, Yeah, six
Speaker 4: seventy eight nine.
Speaker 3: Okay, So the connuccept just the numbers are I guess again,
Speaker 3: if you're a rebuild person, it's what you want. They've
Speaker 3: lost six stra eight twenty two of twenty five, outscore
Speaker 3: twenty five to eight in their last five games, eleven
Speaker 3: two over their last two games. I could go on
Speaker 3: and on, but thirty second overall, thirty second goals against
Speaker 3: per game, and penny killing percentage twenty three points out
Speaker 3: of a playoff spot. People changing the channel left and
Speaker 3: right as we speak. But again, the stat that I
Speaker 3: think really sums things up. You know, if you're somebody
Speaker 3: who's into a rebuild ten points behind the thirty first
Speaker 3: Saint Louis Blues, why am I I laughing? We'll do
Speaker 3: a poll one of these days. Is this the poorest
Speaker 3: knuck season ever? It's certainly it's right up there. It's
Speaker 3: certainly right up there. I've got a few other candidates
Speaker 3: and we'll we'll get into that later.
Speaker 4: You and I watched some bad teams in the eighties,
Speaker 4: mid late eighties, early after eighty two. He went downhill
Speaker 4: there and then the John McCaw years were not great.
Speaker 4: There was one in ninety eight that was horrible.
Speaker 3: Ninety eight ninety nine when and I said, I wasn't
Speaker 3: gonna get into it. But when Crawford took over from
Speaker 3: Keenan and that lineup was actually pretty good, and that
Speaker 3: was that was an awful, awful, awful performance by the team.
Speaker 3: So that that's that's for another day. So as if
Speaker 3: things couldn't get worse, well, actually, let's do this. Let's
Speaker 3: do this. Tyler Myers a third straight roster management decision
Speaker 3: takes the warm up, doesn't play what it's almost a
Speaker 3: week now, which what's going on there?
Speaker 4: I've never been through something like this down. I was
Speaker 4: told this morning that the Meyers situation is still in
Speaker 4: a holding pattern. Will the market developed for Myers where
Speaker 4: more teams are interested in his services? He is waiting
Speaker 4: for that, like look, anything can change with one phone call.
Speaker 4: But I was told the Meyers situation this morning is
Speaker 4: in a holding pattern. It was six days ago Don
Speaker 4: when he was first presented no sorry seven days ago
Speaker 4: when he was presented. It is a week with the
Speaker 4: no move to Detroit. And it's not like he's got
Speaker 4: anything against Detroit. He doesn't. It's just that there's other
Speaker 4: situations he's possibly waiting for and the market is slow.
Speaker 4: Connuck players, I'm sorry. I know everybody in this city
Speaker 4: wants one hundred trades right now. They're veteran players are
Speaker 4: not wanted like they're they're all overpaid and underachieving. I'm sorry, people,
Speaker 4: but there's just not a lot of interest in Connack
Speaker 4: veterans right now. And I'm sorry that's the way it is.
Speaker 3: But okay, but that doesn't explain there must be interesting Tyler, myyer,
Speaker 3: there is not play games.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of teams looking for right shot d
Speaker 4: right right now.
Speaker 3: But it's just he's he.
Speaker 4: And here we go again. Don you want to hand
Speaker 4: out no moves like they're candy at Halloween? You the
Speaker 4: agent said, listen to me. He controls it. That's why
Speaker 4: he took less money in his last year with Vancouver
Speaker 4: to get the no move. He controls it. The Canucks
Speaker 4: have zero control. They can they can help him by
Speaker 4: developing a market for him, like go call Dallas and
Speaker 4: say hey, can you can you give us what Detroit's given?
Speaker 4: USA is interested, Yeah, yeah, big time. He would wave
Speaker 4: to Dallas. His family is from we did this Yesterday's
Speaker 4: from where Donny Well he was born in he was Houston,
Speaker 4: but he grew up in Calgary. But he's got connections
Speaker 4: to uh uh, Dallas. His family is still.
Speaker 3: There's a long time ago he was he was born.
Speaker 4: I think his family is still there. But anyways, he
Speaker 4: likes Dallas. He would wave. But you got two owners
Speaker 4: that don't like each other in Toronto, No, Dallas and Vancouver.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an issue too. Also a story for another day,
Speaker 3: a story that we've dealt with before. So amidst all
Speaker 3: this losing and all all these rumors, and you you
Speaker 3: mentioned the veteran players who nobody.
Speaker 4: Wants, nobody wants not right now except except.
Speaker 3: For apparently for for Tyler Meyer. Is this kind of
Speaker 3: came out of the blue because I watched that interview
Speaker 3: with LEAs Petterson yesterday and in the wake of him
Speaker 3: getting bench Saturday in Seattle, and it was it was awful, awful. Well,
Speaker 3: he came across body language really poorly, body language, not
Speaker 3: owning the situation and everything you don't you don't want
Speaker 3: to hear from a so called leader, sassy, grumpy. You've
Speaker 3: never really heard anything like that from Jake Debresk. In fact,
Speaker 3: when he was scratched, it was in Seattle earlier this season.
Speaker 3: Remember that he was asked about it afterwards. He was
Speaker 3: a healthy scratch and he he owned it. He owned it, he.
Speaker 4: Can I'm paraphrasing.
Speaker 3: He didn't didn't like it, you know, and he and
Speaker 3: he took took the blame himself, put the weight on
Speaker 3: his own own shoulders. I have to have to be better,
Speaker 3: and he's been. Uh, I would say a great employee.
Speaker 3: And you could say what what you want about him
Speaker 3: on the ice, you know, although last season was pretty
Speaker 3: successful for him as first as a as a banker
Speaker 3: of a connect he comes across very well. We run
Speaker 3: those shots at Pastime Sports all the time, him dealing.
Speaker 4: With always smiling and laughing exactly.
Speaker 3: But Ben Kuzma drops an article today Province Province dot
Speaker 3: com and this quote came out of there, and I
Speaker 3: think it took a lot. Okay, you sound like there's
Speaker 3: a great quote. Don This took a lot of people.
Speaker 3: I think by surprise given the character that debrask has.
Speaker 3: He's being honest here, so I'll give him that the
Speaker 3: character he's displayed in the past if we want to
Speaker 3: do the honors here.
Speaker 4: So this is uh Jake Debrusk with Ben Kuzma the province.
Speaker 4: I think a rebuild is hard for every player, but
Speaker 4: at the same point, it's a great opportunity for younger guys.
Speaker 4: This game humbles everybody, and it's been a little bit
Speaker 4: more than humbling this year. Obviously that rebuild is not
Speaker 4: something I would be okay with or my game does
Speaker 4: not fit that, and that's.
Speaker 3: Sorry, go ahead, but I'm surprised at that, and maybe
Speaker 3: that's the way he feels. But he's being honest here,
Speaker 3: so again I'll give him that. What about you? From
Speaker 3: what you know of Jake, this seems not a character.
Speaker 4: So I checked last week on Jake debrace to see
Speaker 4: if he had asked for a trade, and I was
Speaker 4: told no last Thursday down But clearly these comments basically
Speaker 4: are hey, if you can move me, I'd be okay
Speaker 4: with it. One of the big reasons Jake signed of
Speaker 4: Vancouver is Rick Tockett. Rick Tocket's not here anymore. Connects
Speaker 4: are in thirty second place, you're seeing a shift. You're
Speaker 4: seeing a shift now since the Olympic break with these guys.
Speaker 4: Maybe they went to the Olympic break and thought, you
Speaker 4: know what, now, I'll tell you something else. Agents usually
Speaker 4: done it. This is serious. The agents have told players
Speaker 4: in the past, if you ask for a trade publicly,
Speaker 4: it's a no win situation. So generally you don't. Agents
Speaker 4: don't want their players to ask for a trade because
Speaker 4: they're not gonna win with the Yeah, publicly, they're not
Speaker 4: gonna ask. They're not gonna win with the fans. They're
Speaker 4: not gonna Oh he wants out, get them out of here. Basically,
Speaker 4: agents tell players don't ask publicly for a trade. So
Speaker 4: I could see if he's quietly doing it beyond the scenes.
Speaker 4: But as last Wednesday Thursday, he had.
Speaker 3: Not asked for a trade.
Speaker 4: But this though, yes, yeah, this is him saying, hey, guys,
Speaker 4: if you can move me, great, if you can move
Speaker 4: me great. And Garland's probably in this situation. Patterson will
Speaker 4: get to this situation someday, you know, and Besser is
Speaker 4: not there yet. I don't have any any evidence Besser
Speaker 4: wants out. I don't have any evidence in bestor But
Speaker 4: some of these guys are now starting to say, whoa
Speaker 4: thirty second place? It could get ugly here in Vancouver
Speaker 4: for four or five six years. I could see these
Speaker 4: guys now saying, geez, I don't want to hang around.
Speaker 3: Well, you don't want those guys to stick around four
Speaker 3: years left at five point five per for Jake Debresk's
Speaker 3: no movement clause this season and next season, then I
Speaker 3: believe I'm modified no trade clause after that for the
Speaker 3: remaining three years. Is that?
Speaker 4: Is that a movable deal? It is movable in the
Speaker 4: summer right now. The Canucks were not close on any
Speaker 4: of their players on the weekend. Today's Tuesday. So are
Speaker 4: you gonna tell me you're gonna cut a deal for
Speaker 4: this guy in the next three days. They're tough to do.
Speaker 4: Cap does it? What team's got the cap? And teams
Speaker 4: don't like his term. He's got a lot of term
Speaker 4: left on his deal done. He hasn't ripped it up.
Speaker 4: He had one good year what was it.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty eight high twenty eight goals, twenty nine goals
Speaker 3: with the Canucks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so look, the Canucks veterans around the league are
Speaker 4: not getting a ton of interests, bad contracts, they're underperforming.
Speaker 4: I do, like one team told me today, Patrick Alvin
Speaker 4: has got it out there. He's not scared to move
Speaker 4: to three four veterans. He's not, but he's.
Speaker 3: Just saying that from not you. They've been saying that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they open, there was a shift like didn't.
Speaker 3: And they've moved Sherwood and they've moved obviously. Quinn Hughes, yep.
Speaker 4: But Donnie, it's time to.
Speaker 3: Clock is chicking deadline Friday.
Speaker 4: And Donney, it's time to change dressing room. Obviously the
Speaker 4: dressing room is not a great dressing room. And how
Speaker 4: long we've been saying that, we've been saying that, And
Speaker 4: it's time to change the culture. You know, get in
Speaker 4: people who want to be here, get it. Get these
Speaker 4: young kids, ice time, go get a Gavin McKenna, start
Speaker 4: the rebuild. Do it properly. This is how you do it.
Speaker 4: You get rid of guys that don't want to be here.
Speaker 4: I always look at San Jose's situation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, more on them in a bit, But I think
Speaker 3: the perfect type of veteran is somebody like a Tyler
Speaker 3: to Foley.
Speaker 4: Yes, oh you nailed it.
Speaker 3: He's won a Stanley Cup.
Speaker 4: You you can't be more.
Speaker 3: And he sees the promise with the uh with Celebrini
Speaker 3: and he's won a Stanley Cup.
Speaker 4: He's got that. These guys, these guys.
Speaker 3: Want their legacy to grow and be on a team
Speaker 3: that wins a cup or at least.
Speaker 4: A great everywhere timer. Everywhere timer TI fully goes easier
Speaker 4: said than done. He's loved, He's loved in dressing rooms.
Speaker 4: He was loved here. He didn't want to go. He
Speaker 4: didn't want to go, but they didn't have the money
Speaker 4: to keep them. Yeah, they didn't have the money to
Speaker 4: keep them. Okay, so all of.
Speaker 3: This the Jacob usk A situation, by the way, I
Speaker 3: leave one goal in seventeen games.
Speaker 4: If that's the other part, I just told you they're
Speaker 4: all underperforming with massive contracts. Nobody wants them.
Speaker 3: Okay, before we get to the poll too, ask you this,
Speaker 3: but let's go for it. Connor Garland to Boston. Look Garland,
Speaker 3: he's from Massachusetts, the one with Massachusetts.
Speaker 4: The one veteran I could see moving by Friday's Garland.
Speaker 4: Why because he's got a no trade, Donnie. He's sitting
Speaker 4: right there, He's sitting right there, no move He can't controls.
Speaker 3: He doesn't have a no trade.
Speaker 4: He does have interest. He does have interest. Canucks are
Speaker 4: following the Islanders around with pro scouts. Ottawa's in the mix.
Speaker 4: There's teams that do like them. Boston obviously he's a
Speaker 4: Massachusetts guy, right, Donnie, there is interest in Garland. Out
Speaker 4: of all these overpaid, underperforming veterans, he's the guy people
Speaker 4: can see moving.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's let's say the waddling dog poll question. Will
Speaker 3: introduce it after the Guy Gdowski interview. Here's what's coming
Speaker 3: up on the show. Ryan, how are you you're making
Speaker 3: of what's going on there? Yeah, very quiet, maybe in
Speaker 3: a bad mood today it's RAINIOI.
Speaker 4: You're gonna rip into anybody today.
Speaker 1: I'm working. I'm working.
Speaker 3: DTMZ. Is it just me? Coming up in the eleven
Speaker 3: o'clock hour. Craig Button is going to join us just
Speaker 3: after eleven o'clock to send scouting director. And one thing
Speaker 3: I want to ask him. A friend of the show,
Speaker 3: calb mahultra rocketing up the draft rankings these days, Like
Speaker 3: what did he like when the season started, or even
Speaker 3: going back to last year, where was he like? Was
Speaker 3: he nine?
Speaker 4: Patrick Alvin just spent a week in Ontario watching Maholtra,
Speaker 4: watching all the other Ohl prospects. Yeah, they like Maholter
Speaker 4: a lot, but do not discount Tynan Lawrence. They like
Speaker 4: him a lot too as a centerman. Those are the
Speaker 4: two top centermen the Canucks like.
Speaker 3: Which would be the case if they dropped in the lottery.
Speaker 3: Thank you to I would think third. Yes, you know,
Speaker 3: Keaton Verse would be obviously a candidate as well. Big
Speaker 3: Rye the Twitter guy coming up later this hour and
Speaker 3: Ryan just the way you came across moments ago. People
Speaker 3: are pumped up for that that segment. What's going on
Speaker 3: to you? What are you doing?
Speaker 4: I'm trying to work over here, but we got a
Speaker 4: show going on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's then you're rising the internet.
Speaker 4: No, well, yesterday you were ripping the hell out of
Speaker 4: you know who and now you're all quiet. Can get
Speaker 4: boo out of you?

Speaker 3: been there thirteen seasons Rick of course, Penn State's leading
Speaker 3: point getter Gavin McKenna thirty three points in thirty games,
Speaker 3: widely believed to be headed or on his way to
Speaker 3: being drafted first to overall at the NHL draft in.
Speaker 4: June, and Guy joins us Now, Guy, thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 5: I'm very well. Thanks for having me. How are you? Guys?
Speaker 3: Good? Very well? As Gavin McKenna expressed his desire to
Speaker 3: be drafted by the Vancouver Cannuction, do you want a chance?
Speaker 5: He doesn't talk to me about.
Speaker 3: Teams any idea? How many interviews you've done this season
Speaker 3: versus other seasons when you didn't have a Gavin McKenna.
Speaker 6: Certainly there's been an uptich So it was good timing.
Speaker 6: We went to the Frozen four, our first ever last year,
Speaker 6: so the timing, it was good timing for both.
Speaker 3: Let's just say that, what's he like to coach? Guy?
Speaker 5: Oh, he's so much fun, so much fun.
Speaker 6: Number one, it's just so apparent that how much he
Speaker 6: loves the game, Like every time, anytime you're on the ice,
Speaker 6: he's just having a blast. So it's really he's fun
Speaker 6: to be around. And then you know, every practice he
Speaker 6: does a few things that everybody ice just sort of
Speaker 6: stops and looks around. He's like did you see that? Like,
Speaker 6: how does that happen? So he's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 6: He's a he's a very very fun, chill guy.
Speaker 3: What makes him special guy, there's.
Speaker 5: A few things.
Speaker 6: So at the start we thought it was when I say,
Speaker 6: just I just you know his vision. It's just so
Speaker 6: apparent that he sees the game and thinks to dam
Speaker 6: the game very differently than anybody else. So right off
Speaker 6: the hop you just realize he just sees everything and
Speaker 6: makes plays that no one else can see.
Speaker 5: And you think that's it.
Speaker 6: But then when you get to spend a little more time,
Speaker 6: you realize that his edges, his the way he turns
Speaker 6: and stops and moves is just quicker than everybody too.
Speaker 5: So he's got that.
Speaker 6: And and you watch him a little while longer and
Speaker 6: you realize that the backhand side of his stick is
Speaker 6: just absolutely elite, like there he has two forehands, and
Speaker 6: so it's not just the way he sees the ice.
Speaker 6: I personally, I believe that's the most spectacular thing about him,
Speaker 6: and the most fun is to try to figure out
Speaker 6: what his brain's doing, how he sees everything. But he
Speaker 6: has so many more physical gifts that are at elite
Speaker 6: level as well. So he's a little bit like the
Speaker 6: perfect storm.
Speaker 3: Is there an NHL player past or present you'd compare.
Speaker 5: Him to, well, I would. I'm from Edmonton, so I
Speaker 5: grew up.
Speaker 6: I grew up in Edmonton in the eighties, and I
Speaker 6: and I remember watching him, you know, when we were
Speaker 6: when it just first became apparent that there was a
Speaker 6: possibility of him going college and watching a lot of
Speaker 6: his stuff, and it was very evident that he sees
Speaker 6: like what like Gretzky used to like, he would do
Speaker 6: things and everybody just wonder, how did you see that?
Speaker 6: How did you how did you how did you realize
Speaker 6: that was a play? And he you know, we realized
Speaker 6: very quickly that he had that similarity.
Speaker 4: Hey, a guy before the World Juniors, there was you know,
Speaker 4: a lot of negativity about him, especially up north, not
Speaker 4: down south. But anyways, he comes back from the World
Speaker 4: Juniors for a year, he's been on a tear ten
Speaker 4: points last weekend. Does something happen after he came back
Speaker 4: from the World Juniors.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know about that.
Speaker 6: I don't necessarily think that's very fair, because you know,
Speaker 6: when he came here to college, he's the one thing
Speaker 6: about him too, is it's really important to him that
Speaker 6: he he makes everybody realize like he's he's here for
Speaker 6: the team number one, like that's that's very very obvious,
Speaker 6: and it's and it's very consistent, and and he.
Speaker 5: Really goes out of his way to make sure he.
Speaker 6: Includes everybody and and and makes everybody better and whatever
Speaker 6: the coaches want, he makes sure he does it.
Speaker 5: So it was there was that I thought that aspect
Speaker 5: of his.
Speaker 6: Game was excellent, and and he came to play with,
Speaker 6: you know, a very good player in Aiden Fink from
Speaker 6: from albert as well, and and Aiden broke his thumb
Speaker 6: very early in the season, so then he was playing
Speaker 6: with a bunch of other guys.
Speaker 5: Finally their line got put back.
Speaker 6: Together and uh, I think his centerman Dan Daiak with
Speaker 6: they had I think a hat trick in the same game,
Speaker 6: and then the next weekend he's.
Speaker 5: Out for the year.
Speaker 6: So you know, Gavin's been playing with a lot of
Speaker 6: different people and still put up points with everybody and
Speaker 6: still makes everybody involved. And I don't know, I just
Speaker 6: think it was a time where he started to feel
Speaker 6: comfortable and.
Speaker 5: Now he's playing at a much different level. It's really
Speaker 5: fun to watch.
Speaker 4: Guy eighteen year old kids out of junior to go
Speaker 4: to college. What a huge step mentally and physically. How
Speaker 4: tough is that step? Just tell people it's not easy.
Speaker 6: No, it's not easy, and it was very difficult at
Speaker 6: the best of years. But right now this is by far,
Speaker 6: by far the highest quality college hockey that's ever been.
Speaker 6: And the reason is is that with the CHL change
Speaker 6: in ruling.
Speaker 5: Now you have the freshman this year.
Speaker 6: If you take our team for example, we have you know,
Speaker 6: several players that have played four years in the Canadian
Speaker 6: Hockey League. A few of them have been drafted, did
Speaker 6: their captains, etc. Those are the freshmen coming into college
Speaker 6: hockey this year, whereas in the past there've been all
Speaker 6: of him at the very best, have been Tier two players.
Speaker 6: Many came from prep school, several came from high school
Speaker 6: in Minnesota. Those were the freshmen that were coming into
Speaker 6: college hockey. It was still very difficult to your point,
Speaker 6: because these guys are bigger. They've been lifting weights consistently
Speaker 6: for week after week after week, for however many years
Speaker 6: they're here.
Speaker 5: College hockey is extremely intense.
Speaker 6: We played about half the games as you do in
Speaker 6: junior YEP so it's a different game. But this year
Speaker 6: specifically is the highest quality and most experienced freshman group
Speaker 6: in the history of college hockey. And Gavin is still
Speaker 6: doing what he's doing.
Speaker 4: Hey guy, Yeah, he did have that assault case. How
Speaker 4: tough was Zap for him to deal with? And how
Speaker 4: did you help him do that?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 6: I think because he's an extremely respectful young man, extremely
Speaker 6: with great manners. And it's very evident we realize this
Speaker 6: right from his recruiting trip, that he's his family, family values,
Speaker 6: his community values are consistent always and and really during
Speaker 6: this he acted based on his family values and he's
Speaker 6: very hot fine with that. So he was perfectly, he
Speaker 6: was fine. He he knew that he.
Speaker 5: Would did what he did out of out of his
Speaker 5: family values.
Speaker 6: And and I think, you know, we all learn how
Speaker 6: to deal with with scrutiny, I think from him because
Speaker 6: for us, you know, the spotlight has never been more
Speaker 6: intense for a couple of reasons. Like I said, we
Speaker 6: went to the Frozen four and now you get a
Speaker 6: bunch of recruits. Jackson Smith is another, and and Gavin
Speaker 6: and and we probably have more of an intense eye
Speaker 6: on us. And and he's been dealing with this for years,
Speaker 6: So I think the entire program learned from watching Gavin.
Speaker 5: Just he controls what he controls.
Speaker 6: He doesn't worry too much about what other thing people
Speaker 6: think as long as he follows his values. And like
Speaker 6: I said, he's extremely family orientated, in community orientated, not
Speaker 6: only back from his community and white Horse, but even
Speaker 6: to the Penn State community here.
Speaker 3: Great answer guy you mentioned go back to our earlier conversation.
Speaker 3: Though you mentioned the comparisons to Gretzky, you havn't grown
Speaker 3: up in Ebonton. And when I watch Gavin play, one
Speaker 3: thing goes through a lot of things go through my mind, like, man, this.
Speaker 4: Kid is really good.
Speaker 3: But also he seems more like Gretzky was. His skills
Speaker 3: seem more in line with playing center. Why is it
Speaker 3: he's more comfortable on the wing on left wing.
Speaker 5: It's a good question.
Speaker 6: We wanted the same thing when we were recruiting him,
Speaker 6: the same question. He can do both, like we've asked him.
Speaker 6: Even when he comes in and takes face offs, he
Speaker 6: wins those. He plays down his own end like he
Speaker 6: can do it all. I just think for him him,
Speaker 6: he feels most comfortable there.
Speaker 5: I've never actually asked him. The question why.
Speaker 6: He's most comfortable there, but he certainly is. But he
Speaker 6: does lot of other things, even you know, in practice,
Speaker 6: when we catch him playing defense one on one, it's
Speaker 6: like he does that very well too, So he can
Speaker 6: play anywhere. I just think it's what he prefers.
Speaker 3: Is there an area he needs to improve on?
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I think that's why he came to college hockey.
Speaker 6: He's the other thing about him is he's a very
Speaker 6: young He just turned eighteen, and he's not one of these,
Speaker 6: you know, monster early developer athletes. He's very much a
Speaker 6: young eighteen very much so. Yeah, but naturally he's I
Speaker 6: think he came to college because he didn't want to
Speaker 6: take advantage of the strength and conditioning resources that we have,
Speaker 6: the nutrition resources that we have, because he realizes that
Speaker 6: to be the best at the NHL, he's going to
Speaker 6: have to be a little bit bigger. It's going to
Speaker 6: happen naturally, obviously, But I think that's the one area
Speaker 6: where he really where.
Speaker 5: I think it was his impetus to come to college hockey.
Speaker 4: Gee. I've been told he's a really humble kid too,
Speaker 4: but he could go first overall. What about you know,
Speaker 4: these kids now got video, Twitter, all this other stuff.
Speaker 4: Not back in the old days, drafted players didn't know
Speaker 4: anything because that they didn't have social media.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: Talk about him being a humble kid heading into a
Speaker 4: draft where he's going to be one of the top picks.
Speaker 3: He is.
Speaker 6: This has been consistent from day one. Uh, he is extremely,
Speaker 6: extremely humble. But he's he's very, very polite. He has
Speaker 6: great manners, he really does, and he does throughout and
Speaker 6: we get that, you know, from people that just meet him.
Speaker 6: I can't tell you how how often I have people
Speaker 6: come up to me and say, man, I just I.
Speaker 5: Got a chance to meet Gavin. Why what a He's
Speaker 5: just such.
Speaker 6: A respectful His manners are great. He's is so polite,
Speaker 6: and that's really what he is. And then you get
Speaker 6: him alone with the team and he's just a lot
Speaker 6: of fun. Like I just think he loves the game.
Speaker 6: That's what he's about.
Speaker 5: He loves the game. He loves to compete.
Speaker 6: You keep scoring anything and that and and and he's
Speaker 6: going to show up and have a great time.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you that.
Speaker 6: But but he's been I tell you what. Just the
Speaker 6: way he carries himself is really impressive. And you know,
Speaker 6: just you brought it up with gretz I remember hearing
Speaker 6: the same thing about Gretzky, and when I had was
Speaker 6: fortunate enough to meet him as a young man, I
Speaker 6: remember being impressed with what just how gentlemanly he was,
Speaker 6: and Gavin is exactly the same way.
Speaker 5: Really really impressive young man.
Speaker 4: Guy, give us the scoop. How many Canucks scouts at
Speaker 4: every game? Have you seen? Patrick Alvin? Come on, give
Speaker 4: us the goods?
Speaker 5: You know what there's been.
Speaker 6: We do sell out here at Pogole Ice Arena or regularly,
Speaker 6: you know, all the time, but it just seems this
Speaker 6: year that you look up to where the scouts normond Villa.
Speaker 5: That normally would be and it's pretty packed up there.
Speaker 6: So yeah, every game that come at Pogoole Ice Arena
Speaker 6: that Gavin's playing has been pretty well attended.
Speaker 3: One more thing, guy, just looking at your your hockey
Speaker 3: dB page. You've been around as a player and a coach,
Speaker 3: but thirteen years with the Penn State Princeton you of
Speaker 3: Alaska before that, and I'm looking at some of the
Speaker 3: people you played for as a player down Woodell, Mark Crawford,
Speaker 3: Joel Quinville, Tom Rady, a couple of men there with
Speaker 3: the connection. Who are your coaching influencers?
Speaker 6: Well, one that doesn't show there, but one of the
Speaker 6: biggest ones was Ken Hitchcock. He was in Philadelphia when
Speaker 6: I first got to Princeton, and that was the year
Speaker 6: of the NHL lockout, and I just because he's from Edmonton,
Speaker 6: and I called and said, you know what, I just
Speaker 6: got to Princeton. I'm really looking for a goalie coach.
Speaker 6: Don't know anybody. Could we borrow yours while you're on
Speaker 6: you know, while you're on the break. And he was like, well,
Speaker 6: you know what, I'll come help you out. And I thought, okay, great,
Speaker 6: Like we'd see him a week. Well, we saw him
Speaker 6: every single week. He came to every single home game,
Speaker 6: but he hied so people would know he was there,
Speaker 6: and away games we would send him at that time
Speaker 6: the VHS tapes and he would go through him and
Speaker 6: call and say this is what I think, you know,
Speaker 6: if you want my opinion on this and this and
Speaker 6: and if I had questions. The next week for practice,
Speaker 6: he'd show up three hours early and say, hey, I
Speaker 6: know you had a question about this, Let's go through it.
Speaker 6: So that was probably the most amazing coaching experience that
Speaker 6: I have had and very grateful for it because his
Speaker 6: fingerprints are all over the success we had at Princeton
Speaker 6: and also Penn State.
Speaker 5: And he's been very, very gracious. What a great man
Speaker 5: he's been able to.
Speaker 6: He'll call me after some of our Penn State games
Speaker 6: and give me advice as well.
Speaker 5: He's an awesome man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a friend of our show as well. Okay,
Speaker 3: so this interview has lasted about ten or fifteen minutes,
Speaker 3: and I think we only called you gee three or
Speaker 3: four times. But we're Canadian.
Speaker 4: We can't help it, guy, so we apologize for that. Guy.
Speaker 6: No, that's cool. It's both. My mother calls me guy.
Speaker 6: But it seems the further east I go, I get
Speaker 6: you a lot.
Speaker 3: Well, all the best with Penn State, and of course
Speaker 3: we're keeping in Vancouver especially, we're keeping our eye on
Speaker 3: Gavin McKenna. Thanks so much for this, guy.
Speaker 5: I appreciate it, my pleasure. Thank you.
Speaker 3: You bet. Guy Getowski, head coach Penn State men's hockey.
Speaker 3: They host Wisconsin a doubleheader this weekend.
Speaker 4: It all lies on him. He just told the scouts,
Speaker 4: NHL scouts flocking to Penn State games and you know
Speaker 4: a lot of those scouts or Vancouver Canucks scouts.
Speaker 3: Donny and I don't think he put much pressure on him,
Speaker 3: comparing him to Wayne Gretzky.
Speaker 4: Wow, Hey, he's an Edmonton guy. Watched the Oilers in
Speaker 4: the eighties, all the cups, so you can see.
Speaker 3: Why and like a lot of us wondering why. And
Speaker 3: he was the same when he first started coaching Gavin McKenna.
Speaker 3: He just seems like a center, but he prefers to
Speaker 3: play left wing. We'll see what happens moving forward. Thanks
Speaker 3: to Guy Gadowski pull question, waddling dog pull question. Will
Speaker 3: deal with it next. Donny Delly the team check looking
Speaker 3: for the ultimate Vancouver Island getaway. Head to beautiful Parksville

Speaker 3: We're gonna do the draft lottery simulator. Yeah, tagathon, Okay, well,
Speaker 3: let's do it. We'll do it in this segment after
Speaker 3: the pole question and a little bit of discussion, we'll
Speaker 3: see how it goes. Waddling Dog pole question experience one
Speaker 3: of Victoria's iconic testinations, sleep, sip, and stock up all
Speaker 3: on one legendary spot the dog, Come sit and stay
Speaker 3: at the waddling Dog today, Ryan, get her up.
Speaker 4: The watling dog pup pole question. Jacob Brush told Ben
Speaker 4: Kuzmar rebuild would not be something he'd be okay with
Speaker 4: or accepting. What's your reaction to his comments? Look at
Speaker 4: this twelve hundred votes yesterday it was hopping and bopping,
Speaker 4: same thing today as sixty five percent say get him
Speaker 4: out of town, Donnie. Thirty five percent say they understand.
Speaker 4: But look I understand the people saying understand, But it
Speaker 4: doesn't work like you're understanding.
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't.
Speaker 4: This is not how life works. Best are signed for
Speaker 4: seven years. Garland signed for six years, Petterson signed for
Speaker 4: eight years, the Brush signed for six or seven. Who's
Speaker 4: to say it's supposed to be hunky dory for all
Speaker 4: those years and oh, we're just gonna win and it's
Speaker 4: gonna be great. That's not the way life works. We've
Speaker 4: all signed contracts, you more than anyone else, a big contracts.
Speaker 4: Some work out, some don't, you know, And I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: but just because times are bad and we're rebuilding and
Speaker 4: you want to jump ship, that's not the.
Speaker 3: Way I signed a deal with sekn do say that long.
Speaker 4: I signed a long term deal once and I paid
Speaker 4: the price for it, and and again we've all done it.
Speaker 4: But I hung in there and I stayed there.
Speaker 3: He didn't. I did too. You're like me. You left
Speaker 3: really early.
Speaker 4: You left after six months. I left after four years. No, stop, stop.
Speaker 4: We've all signed contracts in good faith. All these guys
Speaker 4: now whining and sniveling about the losing you signing good faith?
Speaker 4: Hang around?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: What's that phrase someone texted me this morning? Rats, jumping
Speaker 4: off a ship? What's the phrase?
Speaker 3: It's cool with that?
Speaker 4: Don you know what it is?
Speaker 3: What is it? I think you got it right.
Speaker 4: So what we have is it's all the rats are
Speaker 4: jumping off the ship.
Speaker 3: So he's calling Jake de prescar.
Speaker 4: Now I'm not calling them around them. Someone texted me
Speaker 4: it's you know, now, what's happening is all these guys
Speaker 4: went off the ship. But it's just you know what,
Speaker 4: you signing good faith for five years and now the
Speaker 4: team's in thirty second place and now you want to.
Speaker 3: Go Let me play devil's advocate here. He's twenty nine
Speaker 3: years old, you know, far from being a rookie. There's
Speaker 3: only so much time left in his career. It ain't
Speaker 3: happening here, doesn't look like it's gonna happen an well,
Speaker 3: since nineteen seventy a Stanley Cup here, a long playoff drive,
Speaker 3: lots of fun come the spring, a lot of dark
Speaker 3: knights like last night, Yes, okay, and there's been a
Speaker 3: lot already this season. Did you want to stick around
Speaker 3: for that? Even though you've committed yourself? What would you
Speaker 3: do in that situation?
Speaker 4: Ask yourself? When Jake debrask was a free agent, he
Speaker 4: had a lot of teams after him, including the Calgary
Speaker 4: Flames in his province, his own province of Alberta. You
Speaker 4: picked Vancouver over a bunch of a whack of teams, right,
Speaker 4: Why why Donny, why.
Speaker 3: Did he pick me? Well, Vancouver? That was twenty twenty four. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: so look was coming on. Happened in the spring of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. They became within one win of the
Speaker 3: Steam Step final, probably of the Western Conference final. So
Speaker 3: it looks so promising. He was familiar with Rick Cockett,
Speaker 3: had respect for Rick Cockett. Eleas Petterson like, well, I
Speaker 3: don't know, maybe that's that's not fair to bring up
Speaker 3: his name. But JT. Miller and Quinn used, there's a
Speaker 3: lot of promise there. Brock Best said, there was a
Speaker 3: lot of promise there. It looked great, So I can
Speaker 3: I can understand why he would pick this team and
Speaker 3: talk it.
Speaker 4: Who did talk at play with in Phoenix? His dad,
Speaker 4: Louis de Bruyeah, so there was a connection between Louis
Speaker 4: at Rick and the Canucks and he picked Vancouver. And
Speaker 4: now he looks like he wants to jump because it's gonna.
Speaker 3: Get and he can't be the only one. Right.
Speaker 4: Oh, you know, Lander Kane, I'm sure he won so
Speaker 4: UFA he wants. So that's why Milstein he's got a contract.
Speaker 4: He needs to get to a team where he can
Speaker 4: put up numbers to get a new contract July first.
Speaker 4: If he stays in Vancouver, Kane, he'll be the that'll
Speaker 4: be bad. It won't be good. He wants out. He
Speaker 4: wants out Garland. There was a shift during the Olympic break.
Speaker 4: The Canucks were not willing to move him, but they
Speaker 4: came out of the Olympic break and said, yeah, we'll
Speaker 4: move them. So Elvin's out there trying to move these guys.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it happens or not. Maybe it does,
Speaker 4: maybe it does.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the clock right now, Ryan, and maybe
Speaker 3: a better time to do the Tancathon Draft lottery simulator
Speaker 3: would be in our open segment in the eleven o'clock
Speaker 3: are around eleven fifteen or so. So my apologies, folks,
Speaker 3: I will say this that, and we've talked about this
Speaker 3: a lot. But looking at the Tankaphon website and other websites,
Speaker 3: the Connocs are a solid thirty second and last in
Speaker 3: the overall standings. They have a twenty five point one
Speaker 3: percent chance of selecting first overall, better than anybody else
Speaker 3: by a wide margin. Saint Louis in thirty first, a
Speaker 3: thirteen point six percent chance of selecting first overall. These
Speaker 3: are the stats, though that the number that really scare
Speaker 3: people is the Connucks also have the best chance of
Speaker 3: finishing second overall eighteen point six. The position that they're
Speaker 3: most likely to end up in is third overall fifty
Speaker 3: six point three three percent chance of selecting third overall
Speaker 3: after the lottery reach, which makes me, well, it frightens
Speaker 3: everybody who's followed the Knucks for a long time because
Speaker 3: given Knuck luck, and we saw some of it on
Speaker 3: display last night, that's what's gonna happen. You're gonna get
Speaker 3: a very good player. But I'm telling you, after watching
Speaker 3: that interview and just watching how his game has improved
Speaker 3: steadily in a real significant way at Penn State, we
Speaker 3: saw some really really solid moments at the World Juniors,
Speaker 3: I think you'd like to have a little bit of
Speaker 3: a better tournament, but McKenna is clearly the number one
Speaker 3: guy here, and you want somebody who could be a
Speaker 3: franchise changer, and he looks like he's that type of player.
Speaker 4: Absolutely. But you know what, you know, what scares me
Speaker 4: is not your comment about the Knuck's best chances you
Speaker 4: get through the role. What scares me. Is what the
Speaker 4: New York Islanders did last year?
Speaker 3: Done?
Speaker 4: What do they do?
Speaker 3: They went from spots?
Speaker 4: Yeah, they went they went from ten to one, got
Speaker 4: a franchise. Defnch when people are comparing to Bobby Orran
Speaker 4: and all the other guys, and they went from ten
Speaker 4: to one with a three point five chanced on. That
Speaker 4: scares me. That scares me.
Speaker 3: Guess who's in the tent spot right now? Who's that
Speaker 3: Toronto kid lightning? Well not lightning but kin lightning strike twice?
Speaker 3: Batman wouldn't mind that. I'm sure the Rangers are there
Speaker 3: in Chicago. If any of those three teams and in
Speaker 3: la if they jump up the first people are going
Speaker 3: to be screaming about.
Speaker 4: That's what scares me, is he What the Islanders did
Speaker 4: absolutely scares you.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we'll save the draft lottery simulator thanks to
Speaker 3: the Tankathon website for a little bit later. You've got
Speaker 3: the old music we used to use for that, the
Speaker 3: game show, Herb Albert type music. Okay, good, I can
Speaker 3: not saying which we haven't. What's going on? Technical difficulties
Speaker 3: or something? Yeah, okay, what.
Speaker 4: What are you doing? You're you're not taking part in
Speaker 4: the show.
Speaker 1: I've got Herb Herb just and as he's coming to Vancouver.
Speaker 4: Actually, who's Herb?

Speaker 1: legendar response, Trocheck said, my son was like, well, I'll
Speaker 1: stay because you know, I have a hockey team here
Speaker 1: and I didn't get traded. That's not bad.
Speaker 3: That's not bad.
Speaker 4: That's super, that's not bad. I like it.
Speaker 1: He Trocheck said, it's gonna be an East coast trade.
Speaker 1: He's not He's not going to the West coast. So well,
Speaker 1: it sounds like an Eastern team.
Speaker 4: He doesn't have a ton of trade protection, but he
Speaker 4: has enough to keep staying on the East coast.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think for people in Vancouver the big question
Speaker 3: here because I'm it seems like he gets triggered. J. T.
Speaker 3: Millers visited Trocheck's childhood buddy. Yeah, tro Check leaves the
Speaker 3: Rangers' live at his house when he first.
Speaker 1: When he first went there, and they posted videos of
Speaker 1: them grilling together and all that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, I heard Albert in the background.
Speaker 4: Well, look at I mean.
Speaker 1: This falls under the careful what you wish for JT.
Speaker 1: You wanted one team, you wanted out and you wanted
Speaker 1: one team to go to. That one team he decided
Speaker 1: he wanted to go to. But it was just New
Speaker 1: York or bus for JT. There were other places he
Speaker 1: was willing to play.
Speaker 3: No, but he definitely wanted to play with the Rangers,
Speaker 3: as does pretty much every player in the national hockey
Speaker 3: But we brought up Retzky earlier in the in the show,
Speaker 3: and we all remember when he retired, Wayne Gretzky saying,
Speaker 3: you know, kids or young hockey players out there, if
Speaker 3: you get a chance to play in New York, take it.
Speaker 3: And he was talking about the Rangers, not the Islanders
Speaker 3: or Devils.
Speaker 1: But the grass isn't always greener, no, of course not.
Speaker 1: You know, they came back last night against the Blue Jackets.
Speaker 1: They were down nothing for nothing. Yes, they came back
Speaker 1: to force it to ot loss in overtime, but they
Speaker 1: came back. But the statistics around their home record, it's
Speaker 1: it's so awful. Well like the Hurricanes homes. They have
Speaker 1: one more home win than the Canucks. But remember early
Speaker 1: in the season when they couldn't get a home win
Speaker 1: and they couldn't score it. Yeah, I mean, and this
Speaker 1: just there's other things to do in New York if
Speaker 1: the Rangers aren't cooking.
Speaker 4: Put that way.
Speaker 1: Okay, speaking of original six teams, how about this sports
Speaker 1: business journal guys. The Blackhawks Ice Center has reopened following
Speaker 1: a renovation that doubled the facility size and made it
Speaker 1: more community facing and multi use.
Speaker 3: The Blackhawk what's it called Blackhawk Ice Center?
Speaker 1: Yeah, also known as their practice correct. The Blackhawks expect
Speaker 1: one point five million annual visitors to the facility that
Speaker 1: sits just south of the United Center. You see a
Speaker 1: couple of photos there of mainly of the areas involving
Speaker 1: the restaurant of that sort of thing. They've done a
Speaker 1: lot of work to it. But this is the piece
Speaker 1: that I think is getting lost in this whole practice
Speaker 1: facility thing, that you know.
Speaker 3: The community piece.
Speaker 1: Yes, like the Seattle Complex for instance, it's jammed all
Speaker 1: the time with either tournaments or free skate time or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's a hub for the community. And look at you
Speaker 1: can say that, yeah, well Seattle. You know, Vancouver has
Speaker 1: more ice surfaces than Seattle like available to them, and
Speaker 1: that would probably be true, right, because Seattle not a
Speaker 1: traditional hockey market. You know all that, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: The bottom line is the NHL team is made in
Speaker 1: a point of being a community piece. That rink is
Speaker 1: a community piece.
Speaker 3: It's usual. It's also important to attract players and that
Speaker 3: when this subject comes up. The one moment that always
Speaker 3: hits me is earlier this season when Archer Sea Laws
Speaker 3: one of the nicest people on the planet. One of
Speaker 3: the first things he said going to Pittsburgh was mess
Speaker 3: nice to have our own practice facility.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we didn't have that in Vancouver.
Speaker 3: Huge reference out to UBC. What am I hearing about Britannia.
Speaker 4: Britannia is a place they're looking at now because the
Speaker 4: rink's there. And if you can build infrastructure around twenty
Speaker 4: to twenty five thousand square feet doney a building going.
Speaker 3: Up four five floors, it needs work.
Speaker 4: It needs work, there's no question. But they're running out
Speaker 4: of options. As you reported Copeland that fell apart by
Speaker 4: eight ranks. Remember we used to go to eight rinks
Speaker 4: for Canucks practice, Yes, and then UBC fell apart. He's
Speaker 4: got to stop doing deals that fall apart. Get a
Speaker 4: deal done, Just get it done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but look at even Britannia right there, He's found
Speaker 1: a place that's already got something built that he can
Speaker 1: put something.
Speaker 4: Guess what, Ryan Land is expensive in Vancouver. He doesn't
Speaker 4: want to he doesn't want to pay for the land.
Speaker 4: And then another twenty thirty million on top of that,
Speaker 4: so it began. It could become a forty fifty million
Speaker 4: dollar project.
Speaker 3: That's a community owned facility at this point, can you
Speaker 3: not and we talked about this before, partner with Vancouver,
Speaker 3: the City of Vancouver, that's it and come up with
Speaker 3: some sort of structure that would work for everybody. Britanny's
Speaker 3: not that far away.
Speaker 4: It's not far away. It's a perfect location in terms
Speaker 4: of hey, let's it's it's not far away from Roger's Arena.
Speaker 4: Even eight rinks wasn't far you and I went to
Speaker 4: tons of Canucks practices there, but they just they should
Speaker 4: have been done ten fifteen years ago. When Calgary builds
Speaker 4: their new rink, the Vancouver Canucks are going to be
Speaker 4: the only team in the National Hockey League without a
Speaker 4: practice facility. Vegas is getting into that. How about is that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: How about is that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But Land is too expensive condo buildings, no problem, but
Speaker 1: to build them practice.
Speaker 3: Again, Why you can't link up with the community. I
Speaker 3: don't get it. Burnaby, Vancouver, whatever, whatever the case may be.
Speaker 3: And when you think of Canuck practices, yeah, and Britannia,
Speaker 3: what's the first thing that comes to mind.
Speaker 4: Pabblebury'sies first ever practice, first practice for Pebblebury was.
Speaker 3: The Canucks when they're at the Colisseum. The building was packed,
Speaker 3: was the Canucks. Every once in a while, cop practice
Speaker 3: at the Agridom or Britannia, other other places as well,
Speaker 3: but often at Britannia, which was just down the road
Speaker 3: from the Coliseum. That was a magical day. That place
Speaker 3: was packed to see pavl Burry practice. And then of
Speaker 3: course he lived up the expectations in a in a big,
Speaker 3: big way. That was an amazing day.
Speaker 1: I didn't know Filipino practice out there.
Speaker 4: Next, director, I stand by, I stand by that.
Speaker 1: Donnia Dolly the team I check.
Speaker 3: Hey everyone, it's Donnia Dolley and we're looking to partner
Speaker 3: with your company.
Speaker 4: We have several packages and price points to fit your
Speaker 4: budget and spread the word about your company on the show,
Speaker 4: in our podcast, and on social media.
Speaker 3: We'd love to get involved with your company called two
Speaker 3: five oh eight eight oh twenty two eighty two or
Speaker 3: email advertise at Checkmedia dot CA. Tuesday and all of
Speaker 3: our guests today brought to you by our title sponsor
Speaker 3: Able Auctions Able Auctions dot C a NHL trade deadline
Speaker 3: on Friday, as we bring in Craig Button, tsn scouting director.
Speaker 3: Thanks for doing this, sir. How are you?
Speaker 7: I am really really good. Let's put it this one.
Speaker 7: I'm way better than the Canucks watching that game last night?
Speaker 5: I mean, oh boy.
Speaker 7: Was that something was? I mean, I mean that was
Speaker 7: a deplete, well depleted, a lesser h Dallas Stars squad.
Speaker 7: Right now, let me just say this, If you don't
Speaker 7: think it can get worse, I think again.
Speaker 3: Thanks for that, Craig.
Speaker 4: Everybody appreciates that. Thanks Craig. How how hard is this?
Speaker 3: We heard from Jake Debrust today, not today, We're not
Speaker 3: from from US, but from the province Province dot com.
Speaker 3: Doesn't look like he wants to stick around for a rebuild.
Speaker 3: How tough is it to convince veterans to stick around
Speaker 3: for something like this?
Speaker 7: So here's what I think what you're hearing now, it's
Speaker 7: not about convincing veterans. The veterans aren't convinced about the team.
Speaker 7: That's the bigger problem here right now. Like you know,
Speaker 7: the whole, the whole discussion has to change. The players
Speaker 7: are going, why are we going to buy into this?
Speaker 7: Why are we gonna believe? Hey, listen, this Tyler Meyer
Speaker 7: situation is a bad look. It's a bad look, really
Speaker 7: bad look for the organization. And you know, people can
Speaker 7: debate and say what they want or whatnot, but let's
Speaker 7: just stay on on on theme here.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 7: Players are saying we don't want to be in Vancouver.
Speaker 7: That is a huge problem. That's that is something that's
Speaker 7: forget about what they could get for this player or
Speaker 7: that player, what needs to change or whatnot. Players do
Speaker 7: not have a positive And if you think that's the
Speaker 7: view in Vancouver, just think about what the view is
Speaker 7: outside of Vancouver and much different and not much different.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Craig, when you say the team, you're not
Speaker 3: talking about what's going on on the ice, are you
Speaker 3: We're talking No, No, not.
Speaker 7: At all, I'm talking right hey, listen. You guys know
Speaker 7: me well enough. It always starts at the top and
Speaker 7: I always go there. That's where the responsibility lay, who
Speaker 7: have you hired? Who you'd be done?
Speaker 3: I don't go to the middle.
Speaker 7: I go right to the top. And so at the
Speaker 7: top of this right now, that's where they that's their
Speaker 7: biggest challenge.
Speaker 3: Okay, we had Guy Goodell's on head coach of the
Speaker 3: Penn State Nitney Lions moments ago on this show. And
Speaker 3: you know, we can understand he's a he's a fan
Speaker 3: of Gavin McKenna and Guy is from Edmonton. Yeah, he
Speaker 3: compared Gavin McKennon to Wayne Gretzky, different positions, but he
Speaker 3: did make that comparison.
Speaker 7: What do you say, bold Like, you know, you guys
Speaker 7: know me well enough too, you know, rarely a much speechless.
Speaker 7: But here's what I would say. You should never compare
Speaker 7: a player to Wayne Gretzky. It's just it's not appropriate.
Speaker 7: And we're talking about arguably the greatest player that ever
Speaker 7: played the game, if not the greatest player that played
Speaker 7: And the bottom line is it's not fair and and
Speaker 7: I don't think it's a good comparison. I think Guy
Speaker 7: is misguided there. I said this all along. He reminds
Speaker 7: me of Patrick Kane. Wayne Gretzky was a center McKenna
Speaker 7: is a winger right away, That should that should allow
Speaker 7: you to disassociate with Wayne Gretzky. Let alone, how great
Speaker 7: Wayne Gretzky was. So I love Gava McKenna. I really
Speaker 7: like Ai Gadowski bad comparison. Patrick Kane is a comparison
Speaker 7: for me, that type of playmaking winger, smart, shifty, speed
Speaker 7: the game up, slow it down, everything that goes with it.
Speaker 7: And that's where that's where I am. That's where I'm staying,
Speaker 7: and I will never ever compare a player to Wayne Gretzky.
Speaker 4: Uh, Craig, I want to get back to Tyner Myers
Speaker 4: if you don't mind. It's been a week most Carson
Speaker 4: Sushi last year waved his no move to go to
Speaker 4: New York in about twenty four hours. Most guys take
Speaker 4: one to two days max. What's going on here? In
Speaker 4: your eyes?
Speaker 7: Family, he took a no move clause to take less money,
Speaker 7: ostensibly and to stay here with his family. He's got
Speaker 7: a family, he's got a young family, and he's sitting
Speaker 7: there going like, so this is now you want me
Speaker 7: to wait my no move clause for you?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: What's in it for me? I think that's all.
Speaker 7: What's going on Carson Sushie situation was completely different than
Speaker 7: where Tyler Myers sits there. So when you start to again,
Speaker 7: like you start to go down this path thinking like
Speaker 7: somebody falls on, gonna ask him to wave, Like bottom
Speaker 7: line is he's got a no move clause, he doesn't
Speaker 7: have to wave. And there's a lot of considerations for
Speaker 7: Tyler Myers here. So goes back to again. You know
Speaker 7: the players are looking back. This is how I'm gonna
Speaker 7: be treated. Oh, this is what I'm gonna get with
Speaker 7: my no move clause. This is what happens when I
Speaker 7: take less money. The Vancouver Canucks have massive overriding problems
Speaker 7: that are that aren't just on the ice.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, you are one hundred percent correct sir. At least
Speaker 4: Peterson benched in Seattle Saturday, got a little uh what
Speaker 4: would you call it, Donnie with the media yesterday testy, Sure, Craig, Craig,
Speaker 4: you got testy. Sometimes you get testy with us. But anyways,
Speaker 4: Craig Lettle testy, it ain't happened a couple of times,
Speaker 4: not all the time, Craig. A couple of times. I
Speaker 4: don't get tested, yeah, Craig, once in a while, once
Speaker 4: in a while.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, Donnie, this is a this is a
Speaker 7: false accusation.
Speaker 1: Okay, take a back.
Speaker 4: He got testy like Joe Blow on the corner. Anyways, listen, Craig,
Speaker 4: Poor Joe Blow, Poor Joe Blow.
Speaker 3: Craig.
Speaker 4: This guy's got six years left on his contract. It
Speaker 4: was two years ago they signed him. It's been a disaster.
Speaker 4: How do you get out of it? Does anybody want them?
Speaker 4: Do you have to retain? Are they gonna buy him out?
Speaker 4: What's going on?
Speaker 7: All those questions are good? Speaking of testing, you sounded
Speaker 7: pretty testing. God, Yeah, anyway, all kidding the side we
Speaker 7: get into semantics, you know, Uh listen, it's two years, yeah,
Speaker 7: you know, and it's two it's two years of many excuses. Uh,
Speaker 7: many many, I guess the way I would talk about
Speaker 7: a much effort to try to figure out what is
Speaker 7: it that has to happen for EP forty to find
Speaker 7: this game? And now EP forty two, like you can't
Speaker 7: find it anywhere, he can't find it at the Olympics
Speaker 7: where his old coach can't find it, with the Vancouver
Speaker 7: Canucks with talking or with Adam Foot or whatnot. So
Speaker 7: and I understand what the Cannucks are doing here with
Speaker 7: respect to say, I think right now, the reason they're
Speaker 7: saying they're not going to retain money is because they
Speaker 7: know that the market or they feel that the market
Speaker 7: will open up considerably post trade deadline, and so that
Speaker 7: means there'll be more teams involved. So unless unless you're
Speaker 7: going to come in there right now and really give
Speaker 7: us a meaningful offer that makes us change our mind,
Speaker 7: we're not retaining anything. I think that very well could change,
Speaker 7: you know, post deadline and in a lot more teams
Speaker 7: looking to make changes, looking to consider, okay, what could
Speaker 7: we do with EP forty doesn't make sense for us?
Speaker 7: I mean it means off loading. It means that you're
Speaker 7: taking on something that another team may not be feeling
Speaker 7: great about as well. I said this a while ago
Speaker 7: where the Vancouver Cannuts find themselves right now and the
Speaker 7: situation with EP forty, and I'm not saying they should
Speaker 7: do this, but you have to put it on the table,
Speaker 7: and that's a buyout. You have to put it on
Speaker 7: the table and you have to say, okay, this is
Speaker 7: what we could do. Now again, this is where you say, okay,
Speaker 7: we'll retain X amount of dollars. That's percent of dollars
Speaker 7: and maybe that's a way to go. But the bottom
Speaker 7: line is I think that EP forty and Vancouver and
Speaker 7: Vancouver with EP forty, it doesn't feel like it's tenable.
Speaker 3: Okay, without being tested, maybe you can answer this question,
Speaker 3: Caleb Maholtra, I believe your latest Craigslist you have them
Speaker 3: at number eleven going into the June draft. How much
Speaker 3: has this I know we've talked about him before, but
Speaker 3: he seems to be rocketing up everybody's draft list. How
Speaker 3: much is his stock?
Speaker 7: Risen Craig, Well, he's a really good player, and like'll,
Speaker 7: there'll be a new list coming out and okay, he'll
Speaker 7: be a little bit hotter. Here's what you got to
Speaker 7: keep in mind. There's five six really good defense in
Speaker 7: this draft.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 7: You know you got the two wingers, you got McKennon,
Speaker 7: you got Stenberg, and then you have a number of
Speaker 7: centers that that fall into this group you have you
Speaker 7: have certainly have Mahultra, you have Ty Lawrence, you have
Speaker 7: Oliver Savanto the finished player. So it comes downtown to Okay,
Speaker 7: where are you going to take a player? Because not
Speaker 7: everybody's going to look at at Caleb Mahultre as a
Speaker 7: guy that you're saying, Okay, that's the guy we want.
Speaker 7: I go back to the draft where left Schoonoff went
Speaker 7: to Zeebulliam went twelve six defenseman like Dadaheim Ducks. We're
Speaker 7: not going to take a defense minute three and this,
Speaker 7: and they took Seneca and people go that was a surprise. No,
Speaker 7: it wasn't because of what they were doing. I think
Speaker 7: it's the same thing with with Caleb Trump. It's about Okay,
Speaker 7: you're comparing them to a defenseman, you're comparing them to
Speaker 7: a winger. Depending where you're at. Centerman like Caleb don't
Speaker 7: come along. He's a really, really good, solid two way center.
Speaker 7: But if you're not looking for that, if you if
Speaker 7: you have players that are that you feel they're in
Speaker 7: that spot and you need a defense, you're gonna take
Speaker 7: a defenseman. Doesn't mean you don't hold Caleb in high regard.
Speaker 7: But do I expect him to go in the top ten?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I do, and very quickly, maybe ten seconds or
Speaker 3: left or less. Connor Murphy, how much is he gonna
Speaker 3: help the Oilers or maybe not help.
Speaker 7: He's gonna help. Oh, he's gonna help them a lot
Speaker 7: because He's steady, stable, consistent, reliable, smart, has the size.
Speaker 7: I think he's exactly what Darnell Nurse needs and I
Speaker 7: think it'll really help not only strengthen the blue line
Speaker 7: in the core, but it'll help Darnell Nurse, who they
Speaker 7: need a lot more out of them.
Speaker 3: No testiness there, Craig as pleasant as always.
Speaker 7: I love you guys. You know that.
Speaker 4: No, we know, we love you back.
Speaker 3: We love you right right back at Craig. We'll talk
Speaker 3: to you next week after the trade deadline. You bet
Speaker 3: Craig Betton TSN a scouting director. Man, he went after you.
Speaker 3: There was a couple of times you got tested. It
Speaker 3: was months ago, but it happened. Yeah, with the guy
Speaker 3: Godowski comments, I can't remember anybody comparing anybody to Wayne Gretzky.
Speaker 3: You've been good on guy.
Speaker 4: He believes in his guy Guy.
Speaker 3: And I always remember, like for years and years, you
Speaker 3: know this defenseman, Pat Price, pick your defense. He's the
Speaker 3: next Bobby or and it just there's never been another
Speaker 3: Bobby Why never maybe Paul Coffee or Rayborg. But it
Speaker 3: was silly to make those, uh comparisons, But people do, Okay,
Speaker 3: it's human nature. Poll question will update that next, and
Speaker 3: we'll play the draft lottery simulator. That's next. Donnie delight

Speaker 4: not stopping on a Tuesday morning.
Speaker 3: One goal in seventeen games for Jake, thirteen goals in
Speaker 3: the season. I believe eleven of them on the power play,
Speaker 3: and therein lies the problem. Besser has a score in twenty.
Speaker 3: This guy's got one in seventeen. All the guys that
Speaker 3: Kanucks want to trade are overpaid and underachieving.
Speaker 4: Big problem. Probably easier to get rid of these guys
Speaker 4: in the summer.
Speaker 3: Six to one. The Knucks lose to the Stars last night.
Speaker 3: This nine's been talking about this. Nine straight wins for Dallas,
Speaker 3: their second overall in that tough Central Division, but second overall.
Speaker 3: Jake Ottinger makes thirteen saves. Kannucks lose their sixth straight.
Speaker 3: They've lost twenty two to twenty five. So with that
Speaker 3: in mind, the Kannocks say solid thirty second place in
Speaker 3: the National Hockey League, and that leads to the Tankathon
Speaker 3: draft lottery. Last time we did this, we did this
Speaker 3: earlier this season. Maybe a little too early, but now
Speaker 3: it seems appropriate given what's going on with the Canucks,
Speaker 3: and it might become the daily regular on Donnie and Dolly,
Speaker 3: the team on Check. Maybe we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 4: Let me go first, because I've got it. I'm ready
Speaker 4: to nail this one. Okay, Ryan, are you ready?
Speaker 3: And you can play at home as well, folks, you
Speaker 3: can play at home all right.

Speaker 3: Connucks dropping to third place, picking second, moving up three spots,

Speaker 4: back to the beer shack on North Prop Road. Beautiful
Speaker 4: white rock there. Okay, listen, I've got picking third. The

Speaker 4: Lewis is next Donnie, and look who's number one. You're
Speaker 4: Vancouver Canucks.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's the way they started out. Did you actually
Speaker 3: I did the resea?
Speaker 4: I did the reset, so I got the Canucks picking first.
Speaker 3: No no no, no no no.
Speaker 1: Did you hit reset?
Speaker 3: Yes? I hit sim lottery.
Speaker 4: I hit reset.
Speaker 1: You want to you want to hit sim lottery, not reset?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 4: Now I got the Canucks at third, third, third, overall,
Speaker 4: show ends it nude, Winnipig's at number two and Saint
Speaker 4: Louis the number one.

Speaker 1: near downtown Langley. You would classify it so I can
Speaker 1: actually show my results, okay, because I have that ability.
Speaker 1: So in my scenario, dropping to the third position, the
Speaker 1: Vancouver Canucks Saint Louis number two, and they never had
Speaker 1: any luck, so I'm glad they've moved up. The Chicago
Speaker 1: Blackhawks up three spots to drop number one overall.
Speaker 4: So sorry, two of us have vancouvert three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well because after he figured it out.
Speaker 4: Okay, but listen, this is disgusting. Like the Canucks got
Speaker 4: their worst year in decades, right, it's the worst every year. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and the system says you can't pick one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is the this is what happened.
Speaker 3: You know what needs to happen, Rick, you need to
Speaker 3: be hired by the NHL head office and be in
Speaker 3: charge of the lottery. Hit you hit the reset button
Speaker 3: and the Canucks will finish first.
Speaker 4: Perfect last year, and now the Canucks probably not gonna
Speaker 4: pick first. Yeah, but see the only way I'm thinking
Speaker 4: of the fans to make.
Speaker 3: Just some people know these results are not buying, thank you.
Speaker 1: There's no law firm with their ping pong balls and
Speaker 1: a suitcase and dealing with it. I think the only
Speaker 1: way it's really gonna kick in the teeth in the
Speaker 1: Canucks is if like my scenario plays out Chicago, Yeah,
Speaker 1: or thebody somebody somebody with even the Rangers or I
Speaker 1: guess where what exactly what are we five years now
Speaker 1: on that something like that. So, yeah, they've had it recently,
Speaker 1: and of course if it's the leafs, it's really gonna
Speaker 1: be bad. But if it's Saint Louis, if it's Nashville, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's not the same. It's not it's not the same
Speaker 1: amount of pain. It's not the same amount of pain.
Speaker 1: It's what I'm what I'm trying to say, right, it's
Speaker 1: still it's still obviously of course, yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: the thing, but this is the that's the way the
Speaker 1: lottery works. You're not guaranteed number one overall.
Speaker 3: We're aware.
Speaker 1: Look look what's happening in the NBA. They're gonna revamp
Speaker 1: that thing because the tanking, right, and that's.

Speaker 3: Its just me rick Co. All right.
Speaker 4: A franchise savior for the Canucks would be Francesco selling
Speaker 4: the team and getting someone with a clue. Well, that's
Speaker 4: not going to happen. That's from fire Pant Jim and
Speaker 4: North Fan. Uh, that's not gonna happen. Because the value
Speaker 4: of the Canucks right now, Donnie, what is it? What
Speaker 4: are they valued at? What was the latest ranking of
Speaker 4: billion dollars?
Speaker 3: Or to pushing a billion?
Speaker 4: Pushing He's not going.
Speaker 3: To sell now.
Speaker 4: Now look what he bought, Look what he paid for it,
Speaker 4: and look what it's worth. Now he's not selling.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you can't read that. Yeah, Uh is
Speaker 3: it just me? But this is unsigned. Albert is roughly
Speaker 3: that isn't either roughly the same average age as D
Speaker 3: and D's audience. I think we do have an older
Speaker 3: audience because of the time of day we come on,
Speaker 3: at least and at least for our television.
Speaker 4: I don't remember him. I was a Lawrence Welk guy, Donnie.
Speaker 3: Well, remember Sulk wasn't a trumpet, don I was.
Speaker 4: I'm from the Lawrence Welk era. This guy was from
Speaker 4: the sixties. Who doesn't remember Lawrence. I think Lawrence walk
Speaker 4: was before herb Albert. No. I just remember every Saturday
Speaker 4: before Hockey Night in Canada, Lawrence Welk would come on.
Speaker 4: I I loved Tommy Hunter. Was it Tommy Hunter? I
Speaker 4: got it mixed up, but I'm telling you I was
Speaker 4: a Lawrence Welk guy. I don't I don't know this guy.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right? What do you got? Uh?
Speaker 4: Is it just me? But could you imagine if the
Speaker 4: Florida Panthers move up and get the first overall pick?
Speaker 4: Cal and Langley?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: I don't see that happening.
Speaker 3: Say again, what is it?
Speaker 4: Can you imagine if Florida you know, got the Okay?
Speaker 3: Sorry, Ryan, I mentioned this earlier? Florida, do is it not?
Speaker 3: This is the Seth Jones trade. And I believe Chicago
Speaker 3: owns their first round or pick, but I think it's
Speaker 3: top three or top four protected if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3: But that would be something at Florida with all their
Speaker 3: injuries this year, and yeah, pretty good excuses for not
Speaker 3: making the playoffs, which looks like that. Looks like that's
Speaker 3: going to happen. Wouldn't that be something that they got
Speaker 3: the first overall pick? Yeah? Right?
Speaker 4: Seriously, what team would want any conduct for their playoff run?
Speaker 4: And this is a good text from Bill, So you
Speaker 4: know Garland is the guy keep an eye on because
Speaker 4: he's got no trade protection all the other guy's got
Speaker 4: trade protection. We are three days away from the trade deadline.
Speaker 4: If they haven't traded him by now, when are they
Speaker 4: going to trade them? It just gets tougher by the
Speaker 4: day to move these guys. But we'll see. Maybe they
Speaker 4: pull off a miracle and get rid of one of
Speaker 4: these bad contracts.
Speaker 3: Brad from Cloverdale, this is good? Is it just me?
Speaker 3: But should you go back to the poll from two
Speaker 3: years ago which we showed yesterday and look up who
Speaker 3: the seven percent voted no on the contract being good
Speaker 3: for EP forty and give D and D shirts to
Speaker 3: those voters. WO the majority, large majority of people ninety
Speaker 3: three percent I believe, according to Brad, said they were
Speaker 3: in favor of that eleven point six million dollar contract
Speaker 3: on March second, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: Everybody loved it, including you.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, are you you're the one? Yeah, you're
Speaker 3: the one who wanted him. You thought that was.
Speaker 4: An stop it down. I didn't say thirteen million.
Speaker 3: This guy wanted Petterson to get thirteen million dollars a year,
Speaker 3: did not. I was against the day one stop.
Speaker 4: I'm taking my eight year old to his first NHL
Speaker 4: game tomorrow with the expectation the Canucks are going to lose,
Speaker 4: but I am hoping the Connects can get a goal
Speaker 4: or some positivity for my boy's sake. What a great
Speaker 4: text from Joe in Nanaimo on the island. You know what,
Speaker 4: first game for the eight year old. Probably gonna lose,
Speaker 4: but showed the kitchen posites. No, look, Don, last night

Speaker 4: I've heard it all my life, chump cheese.
Speaker 3: Is it just me? But is it safe to say now?
Speaker 3: EP forty contract is the worst in Canuck's history. That's
Speaker 3: from Louis ericson.
Speaker 4: I think I think it's up there. It's either one
Speaker 4: or two.
Speaker 3: Well, I think there are three candidates. Yeah, and folks
Speaker 3: help me out.
Speaker 4: Patterson ericson who else? Mess oh, mess yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 4: and he ended up suing it would be up there
Speaker 4: with us. Yeah, that's a poll question for another day.

Speaker 4: and bopping and not stopping.
Speaker 3: By the way, just before we get to photos, the
Speaker 3: Panthers twenty twenty six first round pick that Florida sent
Speaker 3: to Chicago is part of the trade for your Seth Jones.
Speaker 3: Top ten protected. I was wrong. I thought was three
Speaker 3: or four. But it's top ten protected right now, though
Speaker 3: Florida would pick eleventh, so that that wouldn't apply as
Speaker 3: if it was to be picked today.
Speaker 4: Can I get something? Just keep an eye on the Islanders.
Speaker 4: I think they're really hovering around Garland. You know, you
Speaker 4: know who's in New York, Bo Horbat. You know, he
Speaker 4: might be a guy that could vouch for Garland. But
Speaker 4: the Islanders definitely poking around Vancouver players Garland. Keep an
