How 20 00:00:57.960 --> 00:00:59.079 are you couldn't be better? 21 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.159 It's raining today. Don't start, don't start. You know we 22 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.680 had a good string of seven eight days of sun 23 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:06.840 and now. 24 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:09.200 Not so much. 25 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:10.760 Don't start. 26 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.560 Gloomy outside, gloomy inside Rogers Arena. Last night we'll talk 27 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.799 about the Stars and the Canucks in a bit. But 28 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:18.519 I want to. 29 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.159 Start the show with this. 30 00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:25.439 Moments ago, we finished recording an interview with Penn State 31 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.200 men's hockey head coach. He's been there for thirteen seasons, 32 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.760 Guy Goadowski, who's from Ebonton, and the reason we got 33 00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.760 Guy on the show is obvious. He is the head 34 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.959 coach of the Penn State Nitney Lion is the leading 35 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.560 scorer is Gavin McKenna, Canadian? 36 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:43.120 Good kid? Likely? 37 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:44.840 Can I use that word? I think I think I 38 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.079 can the first overall pick come June in the National 39 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.959 Hockey League Draft. You want to pay attention to this 40 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:56.719 interview for a couple of reasons. We brought up Gavin's 41 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.799 infamous I would say, off vice incident, so that you're 42 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:07.280 also not going to believe who Guy Godowski compares Gavin 43 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:11.080 McKenna too, So you want to stick around for that. 44 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:17.879 That's our next segments. Meanwhile, Rogers Arena Last Night Stars 45 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.919 meant did they make it look easy? After that first 46 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.800 Stars over the Cannucks by a score of six, six 47 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:26.719 to one, We're not going to do a highlight. I 48 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.879 think we're past that given the given the season, We're 49 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.800 not a highlight show given the season the Canucks have had. 50 00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:42.919 But I will show this Dallas's first first goal Adam Ernie. 51 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.000 And you know how at the end of every really 52 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.439 horrible season that any team in any sport has, the 53 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.800 television stations like ours and others networks will put together 54 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.879 a highlight reel that just kind of sums up every 55 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.520 thing for what this team went through. That this goal 56 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.479 will be there. This is nothing against the key to Tolapilo. 57 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.120 There were other just horrible goals last night that definitely 58 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.800 weren't his fault. The giveaways, but the Connects had like 59 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:17.520 twenty one twenty two giveaways last night. It was It 60 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.039 was an awful performance by them in the second and 61 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.680 third period. And I know we expect that now, and 62 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.479 maybe that's a good thing if you're a rebuilt person 63 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.400 like I am. But this goal just kind of kind 64 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:30.360 of summed things. 65 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.520 Up, typifies their year done. It's just everything that could 66 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.080 go wrong this year has gone wrong, and this goal 67 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.759 right here tells you this is the year. This is 68 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:41.759 the kind of year has been for the Vancouver Connects 69 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:42.599 right there. 70 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.039 And again, nothing against Telapillo. It was six to one. 71 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.520 If it wasn't for that guy, it would have been 72 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.639 ten or eleven one. Well, that actually played a good 73 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.159 game and he gave up six goals. 74 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.599 What if Ranton was in the lineup last night done, 75 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.639 it would have been Yeah, there you go, Yeah, six 76 00:03:58.759 --> 00:03:59.520 seventy eight nine. 77 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:05.240 Okay, So the connuccept just the numbers are I guess again, 78 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.639 if you're a rebuild person, it's what you want. They've 79 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.479 lost six stra eight twenty two of twenty five, outscore 80 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:16.360 twenty five to eight in their last five games, eleven 81 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.519 two over their last two games. I could go on 82 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.240 and on, but thirty second overall, thirty second goals against 83 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:26.600 per game, and penny killing percentage twenty three points out 84 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.879 of a playoff spot. People changing the channel left and 85 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.199 right as we speak. But again, the stat that I 86 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.959 think really sums things up. You know, if you're somebody 87 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.399 who's into a rebuild ten points behind the thirty first 88 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.720 Saint Louis Blues, why am I I laughing? We'll do 89 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.720 a poll one of these days. Is this the poorest 90 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.519 knuck season ever? It's certainly it's right up there. It's 91 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.279 certainly right up there. I've got a few other candidates 92 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.240 and we'll we'll get into that later. 93 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.639 You and I watched some bad teams in the eighties, 94 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:03.000 mid late eighties, early after eighty two. He went downhill 95 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.959 there and then the John McCaw years were not great. 96 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.959 There was one in ninety eight that was horrible. 97 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.279 Ninety eight ninety nine when and I said, I wasn't 98 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.399 gonna get into it. But when Crawford took over from 99 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.720 Keenan and that lineup was actually pretty good, and that 100 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.240 was that was an awful, awful, awful performance by the team. 101 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:25.399 So that that's that's for another day. So as if 102 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.279 things couldn't get worse, well, actually, let's do this. Let's 103 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:33.360 do this. Tyler Myers a third straight roster management decision 104 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.560 takes the warm up, doesn't play what it's almost a 105 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.399 week now, which what's going on there? 106 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.720 I've never been through something like this down. I was 107 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.240 told this morning that the Meyers situation is still in 108 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.160 a holding pattern. Will the market developed for Myers where 109 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.360 more teams are interested in his services? He is waiting 110 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.399 for that, like look, anything can change with one phone call. 111 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.920 But I was told the Meyers situation this morning is 112 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.839 in a holding pattern. It was six days ago Don 113 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.759 when he was first presented no sorry seven days ago 114 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.279 when he was presented. It is a week with the 115 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.040 no move to Detroit. And it's not like he's got 116 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.879 anything against Detroit. He doesn't. It's just that there's other 117 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.959 situations he's possibly waiting for and the market is slow. 118 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.160 Connuck players, I'm sorry. I know everybody in this city 119 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.480 wants one hundred trades right now. They're veteran players are 120 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:29.800 not wanted like they're they're all overpaid and underachieving. I'm sorry, people, 121 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.920 but there's just not a lot of interest in Connack 122 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.759 veterans right now. And I'm sorry that's the way it is. 123 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:39.920 But okay, but that doesn't explain there must be interesting Tyler, myyer, 124 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.920 there is not play games. 125 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.680 Yeah, a lot of teams looking for right shot d 126 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:46.800 right right now. 127 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:48.720 But it's just he's he. 128 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.120 And here we go again. Don you want to hand 129 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:58.879 out no moves like they're candy at Halloween? You the 130 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.600 agent said, listen to me. He controls it. That's why 131 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.759 he took less money in his last year with Vancouver 132 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:06.800 to get the no move. He controls it. The Canucks 133 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.879 have zero control. They can they can help him by 134 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.120 developing a market for him, like go call Dallas and 135 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.079 say hey, can you can you give us what Detroit's given? 136 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.759 USA is interested, Yeah, yeah, big time. He would wave 137 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.560 to Dallas. His family is from we did this Yesterday's 138 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.000 from where Donny Well he was born in he was Houston, 139 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.600 but he grew up in Calgary. But he's got connections 140 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.879 to uh uh, Dallas. His family is still. 141 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.959 There's a long time ago he was he was born. 142 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:34.920 I think his family is still there. But anyways, he 143 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:37.600 likes Dallas. He would wave. But you got two owners 144 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.680 that don't like each other in Toronto, No, Dallas and Vancouver. 145 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.680 Yeah, that's an issue too. Also a story for another day, 146 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:48.600 a story that we've dealt with before. So amidst all 147 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.879 this losing and all all these rumors, and you you 148 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.920 mentioned the veteran players who nobody. 149 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.519 Wants, nobody wants not right now except except. 150 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.600 For apparently for for Tyler Meyer. Is this kind of 151 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.160 came out of the blue because I watched that interview 152 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:10.240 with LEAs Petterson yesterday and in the wake of him 153 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.959 getting bench Saturday in Seattle, and it was it was awful, awful. Well, 154 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:18.319 he came across body language really poorly, body language, not 155 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.639 owning the situation and everything you don't you don't want 156 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.600 to hear from a so called leader, sassy, grumpy. You've 157 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.680 never really heard anything like that from Jake Debresk. In fact, 158 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:32.799 when he was scratched, it was in Seattle earlier this season. 159 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.360 Remember that he was asked about it afterwards. He was 160 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.960 a healthy scratch and he he owned it. He owned it, he. 161 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:41.039 Can I'm paraphrasing. 162 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:44.799 He didn't didn't like it, you know, and he and 163 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.519 he took took the blame himself, put the weight on 164 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.919 his own own shoulders. I have to have to be better, 165 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:57.159 and he's been. Uh, I would say a great employee. 166 00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.759 And you could say what what you want about him 167 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.440 on the ice, you know, although last season was pretty 168 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.840 successful for him as first as a as a banker 169 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.399 of a connect he comes across very well. We run 170 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.919 those shots at Pastime Sports all the time, him dealing. 171 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.960 With always smiling and laughing exactly. 172 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:21.200 But Ben Kuzma drops an article today Province Province dot 173 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:24.279 com and this quote came out of there, and I 174 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.600 think it took a lot. Okay, you sound like there's 175 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:29.279 a great quote. Don This took a lot of people. 176 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:34.639 I think by surprise given the character that debrask has. 177 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.519 He's being honest here, so I'll give him that the 178 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.399 character he's displayed in the past if we want to 179 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:41.159 do the honors here. 180 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.639 So this is uh Jake Debrusk with Ben Kuzma the province. 181 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.320 I think a rebuild is hard for every player, but 182 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.200 at the same point, it's a great opportunity for younger guys. 183 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.480 This game humbles everybody, and it's been a little bit 184 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.960 more than humbling this year. Obviously that rebuild is not 185 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.639 something I would be okay with or my game does 186 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.200 not fit that, and that's. 187 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.240 Sorry, go ahead, but I'm surprised at that, and maybe 188 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.639 that's the way he feels. But he's being honest here, 189 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.759 so again I'll give him that. What about you? From 190 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:15.600 what you know of Jake, this seems not a character. 191 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:19.440 So I checked last week on Jake debrace to see 192 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:20.879 if he had asked for a trade, and I was 193 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.919 told no last Thursday down But clearly these comments basically 194 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.279 are hey, if you can move me, I'd be okay 195 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.960 with it. One of the big reasons Jake signed of 196 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.799 Vancouver is Rick Tockett. Rick Tocket's not here anymore. Connects 197 00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:38.120 are in thirty second place, you're seeing a shift. You're 198 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.919 seeing a shift now since the Olympic break with these guys. 199 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.159 Maybe they went to the Olympic break and thought, you 200 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.360 know what, now, I'll tell you something else. Agents usually 201 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.039 done it. This is serious. The agents have told players 202 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.440 in the past, if you ask for a trade publicly, 203 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:57.639 it's a no win situation. So generally you don't. Agents 204 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.200 don't want their players to ask for a trade because 205 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.639 they're not gonna win with the Yeah, publicly, they're not 206 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.039 gonna ask. They're not gonna win with the fans. They're 207 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.480 not gonna Oh he wants out, get them out of here. Basically, 208 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:12.440 agents tell players don't ask publicly for a trade. So 209 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:15.120 I could see if he's quietly doing it beyond the scenes. 210 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.039 But as last Wednesday Thursday, he had. 211 00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:18.960 Not asked for a trade. 212 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.960 But this though, yes, yeah, this is him saying, hey, guys, 213 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:23.679 if you can move me, great, if you can move 214 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:27.039 me great. And Garland's probably in this situation. Patterson will 215 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:30.159 get to this situation someday, you know, and Besser is 216 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.000 not there yet. I don't have any any evidence Besser 217 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.679 wants out. I don't have any evidence in bestor But 218 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.080 some of these guys are now starting to say, whoa 219 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.799 thirty second place? It could get ugly here in Vancouver 220 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.399 for four or five six years. I could see these 221 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:47.679 guys now saying, geez, I don't want to hang around. 222 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.039 Well, you don't want those guys to stick around four 223 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.279 years left at five point five per for Jake Debresk's 224 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:59.120 no movement clause this season and next season, then I 225 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.320 believe I'm modified no trade clause after that for the 226 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.200 remaining three years. Is that? 227 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.960 Is that a movable deal? It is movable in the 228 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.000 summer right now. The Canucks were not close on any 229 00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:12.360 of their players on the weekend. Today's Tuesday. So are 230 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:13.799 you gonna tell me you're gonna cut a deal for 231 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.000 this guy in the next three days. They're tough to do. 232 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.639 Cap does it? What team's got the cap? And teams 233 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.600 don't like his term. He's got a lot of term 234 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:24.600 left on his deal done. He hasn't ripped it up. 235 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:25.720 He had one good year what was it. 236 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:29.279 Twenty twenty eight high twenty eight goals, twenty nine goals 237 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:30.200 with the Canucks. 238 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.960 Yeah, so look, the Canucks veterans around the league are 239 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:36.320 not getting a ton of interests, bad contracts, they're underperforming. 240 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:39.480 I do, like one team told me today, Patrick Alvin 241 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.399 has got it out there. He's not scared to move 242 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.279 to three four veterans. He's not, but he's. 243 00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.240 Just saying that from not you. They've been saying that. 244 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.559 Yeah, they open, there was a shift like didn't. 245 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:54.240 And they've moved Sherwood and they've moved obviously. Quinn Hughes, yep. 246 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:56.440 But Donnie, it's time to. 247 00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:58.679 Clock is chicking deadline Friday. 248 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.200 And Donney, it's time to change dressing room. Obviously the 249 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.240 dressing room is not a great dressing room. And how 250 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.559 long we've been saying that, we've been saying that, And 251 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.039 it's time to change the culture. You know, get in 252 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.240 people who want to be here, get it. Get these 253 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:13.440 young kids, ice time, go get a Gavin McKenna, start 254 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.120 the rebuild. Do it properly. This is how you do it. 255 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.039 You get rid of guys that don't want to be here. 256 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.879 I always look at San Jose's situation. 257 00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.279 Yeah, more on them in a bit, But I think 258 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.200 the perfect type of veteran is somebody like a Tyler 259 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:26.799 to Foley. 260 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:28.480 Yes, oh you nailed it. 261 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:29.559 He's won a Stanley Cup. 262 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:30.799 You you can't be more. 263 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.399 And he sees the promise with the uh with Celebrini 264 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:37.559 and he's won a Stanley Cup. 265 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.799 He's got that. These guys, these guys. 266 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.120 Want their legacy to grow and be on a team 267 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:44.440 that wins a cup or at least. 268 00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:49.279 A great everywhere timer. Everywhere timer TI fully goes easier 269 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.720 said than done. He's loved, He's loved in dressing rooms. 270 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:53.919 He was loved here. He didn't want to go. He 271 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.039 didn't want to go, but they didn't have the money 272 00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:57.720 to keep them. Yeah, they didn't have the money to 273 00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:59.399 keep them. Okay, so all of. 274 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.840 This the Jacob usk A situation, by the way, I 275 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:03.519 leave one goal in seventeen games. 276 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.320 If that's the other part, I just told you they're 277 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:08.000 all underperforming with massive contracts. Nobody wants them. 278 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.279 Okay, before we get to the poll too, ask you this, 279 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.960 but let's go for it. Connor Garland to Boston. Look Garland, 280 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.960 he's from Massachusetts, the one with Massachusetts. 281 00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.120 The one veteran I could see moving by Friday's Garland. 282 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.559 Why because he's got a no trade, Donnie. He's sitting 283 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:27.240 right there, He's sitting right there, no move He can't controls. 284 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:28.320 He doesn't have a no trade. 285 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.919 He does have interest. He does have interest. Canucks are 286 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.960 following the Islanders around with pro scouts. Ottawa's in the mix. 287 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.679 There's teams that do like them. Boston obviously he's a 288 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.360 Massachusetts guy, right, Donnie, there is interest in Garland. Out 289 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.720 of all these overpaid, underperforming veterans, he's the guy people 290 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:46.399 can see moving. 291 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.919 Okay, let's let's say the waddling dog poll question. Will 292 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.639 introduce it after the Guy Gdowski interview. Here's what's coming 293 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.240 up on the show.

Yeah, they like Maholter 308 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.919 a lot, but do not discount Tynan Lawrence. They like 309 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:44.840 him a lot too as a centerman. Those are the 310 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:46.279 two top centermen the Canucks like. 311 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.600 Which would be the case if they dropped in the lottery. 312 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:53.200 Thank you to I would think third.

How many interviews you've done this season 358 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.680 versus other seasons when you didn't have a Gavin McKenna. 359 00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:46.480 Certainly there's been an uptich So it was good timing. 360 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:49.920 We went to the Frozen four, our first ever last year, 361 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:54.000 so the timing, it was good timing for both. 362 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:56.319 Let's just say that, what's he like to coach?

And then you know, every practice he 368 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:16.160 does a few things that everybody ice just sort of 369 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.319 stops and looks around. He's like did you see that? Like, 370 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:20.799 how does that happen? So he's been a lot of fun. 371 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:24.440 He's a he's a very very fun, chill guy. 372 00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:28.359 What makes him special guy, there's. 373 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:28.720 A few things. 374 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:30.960 So at the start we thought it was when I say, 375 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:33.839 just I just you know his vision. It's just so 376 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.039 apparent that he sees the game and thinks to dam 377 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:39.480 the game very differently than anybody else. So right off 378 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:43.200 the hop you just realize he just sees everything and 379 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.039 makes plays that no one else can see. 380 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:46.240 And you think that's it. 381 00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:49.279 But then when you get to spend a little more time, 382 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:53.079 you realize that his edges, his the way he turns 383 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:58.160 and stops and moves is just quicker than everybody too. 384 00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:59.000 So he's got that. 385 00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:01.359 And and you watch him a little while longer and 386 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:03.680 you realize that the backhand side of his stick is 387 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:08.559 just absolutely elite, like there he has two forehands, and 388 00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:11.200 so it's not just the way he sees the ice. 389 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:13.839 I personally, I believe that's the most spectacular thing about him, 390 00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:15.920 and the most fun is to try to figure out 391 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.119 what his brain's doing, how he sees everything. But he 392 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:20.319 has so many more physical gifts that are at elite 393 00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:22.519 level as well. So he's a little bit like the 394 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:23.240 perfect storm. 395 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:27.160 Is there an NHL player past or present you'd compare. 396 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.960 Him to, well, I would. I'm from Edmonton, so I 397 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.359 grew up. 398 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:32.279 I grew up in Edmonton in the eighties, and I 399 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:34.799 and I remember watching him, you know, when we were 400 00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:36.880 when it just first became apparent that there was a 401 00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:39.720
