Hey, you gotta have 27 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:20.280 shoulders or you can't wear a tank top if you 28 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:21.480 don't have shoulders. 29 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:23.079 I have shoulders help. 30 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.120 Shoulders help when you're wearing a tank But I see 31 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:26.400 skinny guys wearing tank tops. 32 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:28.359 It's not what's wrong with that. They do. 33 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:29.040 Stop. 34 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.560 You gotta have arms and shoulders if you're gonna wear 35 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:32.040 a tank top. 36 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.680 Bottom line, having arms and shoulders help when you're wearing 37 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.799 any type of shirt. Really, yes, Okay, So moving on. 38 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.359 It was a spectacular weekend weatherwise, and pretty nice today 39 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.000 as well. So the Canucks GM slash president search, whatever 40 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.359 you want to call it, another chapter, Another name is involved. 41 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:56.640 Now I understand the Canucks have interviewed in person former 42 00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.680 Ottawa senators GM here Dorian. 43 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.840 This one came out of the blue yesterday, Donnie. This 44 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.719 one was a name that just popped up yesterday and nobody. 45 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.960 He wasn't on the radar for anybody. And we find 46 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.840 out yesterday that he's been in Vancouver for a second interview. 47 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.080 A child of four knows that if you get interviewed twice, 48 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:19.360 it's a serious Was. 49 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:20.240 He wearing a tank top? 50 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.159 A child of four anybody could figure out that when 51 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.800 you get interviewed a second time for a job, it's 52 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.879 usually it's a serious thing. But anyway, thanks for that. Yeah, 53 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.759 I know, but somebody was praising somebody for saying that. Anyways, 54 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.599 the point is he got a second interview. All guys 55 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.400 getting second interviews, common sense tells you that they're pretty 56 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.599 serious candidates. And the Canucks like what they did in 57 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:44.319 the first interview. 58 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:50.400 Fifty three years old Senators GM twenty sixteen to twenty 59 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.960 twenty three. They made the playoffs just once in that time, 60 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.120 and then he left in disgrace. There was a situation 61 00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.319 where there was an investigation revealing the Sins failed to 62 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.759 share him from me about a no trade list for 63 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.960 this came up fairly. If Jenny had dad enough, ye, 64 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:06.360 that's it. 65 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:06.800 That's it. 66 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:11.039 He was traded from to Vegas in twenty twenty one. 67 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:16.919 So but I think the lesson we're learning over the weekend, 68 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:18.680 or the lesson we learn over the weekend, is that 69 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.479 you can be involved in a scandal and you can 70 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.000 be just absolutely horrible at your job and still be 71 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.520 a candidate elsewhere for a national hockey league general matters 72 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.599 a position. Look at John Jacob. 73 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.120 The Maple Leafs just hired a guy who hasn't worked 74 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:37.080 in six years and has been running Wendy's six years 75 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.319 out of the hockey. Well, you should explain that he owns, 76 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.560 he owns. Okay, we'll still done. Hockey is running Wendy's, 77 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.319 which you know, hey, it's a job, No. 78 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:48.280 It is. 79 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:49.000 It's a business. 80 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.360 For it's a business because you know, the money's got 81 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.840 to work, any money coming in, money coming out. But 82 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:56.919 and then Dorian has worked in two years. It's very 83 00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:00.439 interesting to see don some of the names are getting 84 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.520 opportunities in the GMT. 85 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:08.240 More about John Chaker right now his press conference, introductory 86 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.759 press conference is going on as we speak, I believe 87 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:17.240 in Toronto. Matt Senden also hired as part of that 88 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.959 front office group. But let's let's update our list of 89 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:27.480 Canucks GM president candidates. Derek we got that. There you go, 90 00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:31.000 he's no longer on vacation. There he is. He came 91 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:31.439 up with this. 92 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.759 Now what a great list it is. Ryan Johnson at 93 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.120 the top. We'll talk about him in a second. Shane Doan. 94 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.839 We keep hearing his name as president. Evan Gold I'm 95 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.079 going to talk about in a second Jamie Langer Bruner 96 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.519 that he both work in Boston, Ryan Bonas and peterre Dorien. 97 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:48.759 But so you've eliminated names from this and you've and 98 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.120 you've added to it. Ryan Bonas we took off this 99 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.959 list last week. Now he's back on right, what's happening there. 100 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.480 Ryan Bonus has got a pretty good relationship with Shane Doan. 101 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.600 They go back, and so if Shane Doan is indeed 102 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.079 going to be the president, I'm sure, pretty sure he's 103 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.199 got something to say about Ryan Bonus, who is with 104 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:13.199 the Islanders right now. Rick Bonus's son. But Donnie. The 105 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.600 guy that I like on this list and I think 106 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.040 has really impressed the Canucks and interviews is Evan Gold. 107 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.680 I would call him a series candidate in Vancouver. 108 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:24.000 Gold. 109 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.639 I think one of the things that appeals to Vancouver 110 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.920 ownership about Gold is he did a quick retool in Boston. 111 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.560 But oh god, exactly, but let me throw this that Yet, 112 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.399 when you have Jeremy Swayman, Charlie McAvoy and David Pasternak 113 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.240 three studs, it's not hard to retool. But one thing 114 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.399 I'll say about Gold, He's articulate, smart, comes from a 115 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.279 winning culture talk to a lot of agents over the 116 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.759 weekend about Gold. They all think he's a sharp guy. 117 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.240 I didn't like. And what do gms have to do? 118 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.639 They got to deal with agents. A lot of agents 119 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.160 think this guy's a sharp dude. I do get that feeling. 120 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.160 I didn't get anybody bows to agents what they want. 121 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.040 But I got agents who ripped people in the hockey 122 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.720 world too, saying he's clueless, he doesn't know what he's doing. 123 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.160 They're not saying that about Evan Gold. I'm getting a 124 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:14.079 lot of good feedback. 125 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.399 But the last time they hired a GM from Boston 126 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.439 that worked out well. 127 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:19.639 Not good at all. 128 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.639 But Jim Betting was the guy the But I'm just 129 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:24.800 saying that Evan Gold's in there fighting. 130 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:26.279 I think he's So how. 131 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:27.519 Is he better than Ryan Johnson? 132 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:28.160 Touch it? 133 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:33.560 And Ryan Johnson has been an incredibly solid foot soldier 134 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.079 one hundred percent more than a foot soldier that long 135 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.959 phrase for a significant period of time. So how is 136 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:44.519 Evan Gold better? And Ryan Johnson knows the personnel better 137 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.920 than Evan Gold? I'm pretty sure about that. 138 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:52.040 I wonder the longer this goes on, you wonder about 139 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:56.079 Ryan Johnson's chances. I've not heard much about him. I'm 140 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.839 hearing about all these other guys. I haven't heard about 141 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.759 Ryan Johnson. I'm hearing a lot about other candidates. But 142 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.240 I will say to you that if Ryan Johnson doesn't 143 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.959 get it, I just don't know how he sticks around. 144 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.800 He's been here thirteen years. If you can't, if you, 145 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.480 it's insulting if you. If you can, they're already blocked 146 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:16.560 him from talking to Nashville. If you you know, if 147 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.639 you get bypassed here, if you're Ryan Johnson, I don't 148 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.399 see a world where he sticks around because if he 149 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.439 can't get the GM job after working for this owner 150 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:28.680 for thirteen years, he's never going to get it. He's 151 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:29.439 never going to get it. 152 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:33.560 Jamie Langmburne is sticking around also from the Boston organization. 153 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.920 Yeah, he's a smart guy. That his first interview was 154 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.839 well done. I mean he's a sharp dude too. But 155 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.560 one thing about Boston you can say, don you know 156 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.480 they they just when you think they're out, they do 157 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:47.959 get back in the playoffs. 158 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:49.720 Father three, Yeah, well. 159 00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:51.079 They get back in the playoffs. 160 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.480 But well, I mean the fact that you use the 161 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.839 word retool is frightening. Yeah, to Vancouver, but I'm telling 162 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.399 you what golden do not the R word people want 163 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.720 to hear. Yeah, no, and I get that, but I 164 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.079 don't think the one thing I did hear this interview 165 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.959 process is really given ownership an eye opening perspective. 166 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.680 They needed to hear the team's not good. They needed 167 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.040 to hear there's not much an abbey. 168 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:16.319 They needed to hear. 169 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:18.959 They needed to hear, Oh, they did. They didn't look 170 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:19.639 at the standing. 171 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.680 No, but hold it a second. They needed to hear 172 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.279 other than Brandon Coots, Uh, there's not many. 173 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.680 High end prospects. They needed to hear that. 174 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.560 And I was told candidates told them that there's a 175 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:32.360 long way to go. How could they not tell okay, 176 00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.679 but okay, Donny. They needed to hear that. It's been 177 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.600 an eye opening process for the owners. It's been an 178 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.600 eye opening process for the owners. 179 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:40.159 I do. 180 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.399 Hold on a second. You're saying it's been an eye 181 00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.440 opening process for the owners that someone told them that 182 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:46.200 they're not very good. 183 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.639 No, that more than one person told them done. Do 184 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.120 you think how is that eye opening? If fifteen to 185 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.919 twenty people tell you, hey, you guys are a mess. 186 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:55.879 Yeah, it's great. 187 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:56.720 They know that. 188 00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.559 Stop God, and they don't think they know that. 189 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.679 If they don't, they got to get out of the 190 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.919 hockey business. Well, donny, look at the last fifteen although 191 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:06.720 they're on the right track now, it seemed to be. 192 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.399 Donny, look at the last fifteen years. Since twenty eleven, 193 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.120 two times they made the playoffs. I don't count the 194 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.399 bubble because they got lucky, but I mean they need 195 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:17.720 to know it's been an eye opening process for him. 196 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:21.519 Okay, that's okay. Ray Whitney is another name that is 197 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:25.120 not going away. All right, Ray Whitney. So here's what 198 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:26.960 I was told. There's not on the list though the 199 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.919 new GM will pick his own stre said, maybe he 200 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:31.399 is on the in vacation mode. 201 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.120 The new GM will pick his own staff in Vancouver. 202 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.159 But wouldn't surprise me if the Canucks try and bring 203 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:42.039 in people that interviewed earlier. For I heard Ray Whitney had. 204 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:43.720 A great interring in as a GM. 205 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.200 No no, no, not assistant GM or in some sort 206 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.679 of role. The new GM's going to hire. Ray Whitney's 207 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.480 not into the last Okay, but I'm just saying he 208 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.080 interviewed so well. It wouldn't surprise me if they somehow 209 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.960 find a way to get him into the organization. 210 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.320 All as yes say is guys, look at the standings. 211 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:02.000 You're not very good. 212 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:03.799 You're not very good. You're not very good. 213 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:08.360 So okay. So Ray Whitney is close with Shane Jane 214 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:12.840 don Shane Doan has been a special advisor or an 215 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:17.000 advisor to the GM Brad Tree living in this case, 216 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.879 who's been fired by the lease special advisor to the 217 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.879 GM in Toronto. Why wasn't he considered for the Toronto 218 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.919 job either what Matt Sendeen is up to president or 219 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:31.559 whatever his title is, or the general manager job. And 220 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.879 yet he seems to be a much stronger Well, yeah, 221 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:38.000 he's obviously a stronger candidate in Vancouver. I don't get that. 222 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.240 Or is it a done deal? Is he is he 223 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:44.679 coming to Vancouver as president as a replacement for Jim 224 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.679 Rutherford because his resume screams president versus GM. 225 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:49.159 Oh, yes it does, it does. 226 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.399 And Shane Doan is just like Trevor Lindon when he 227 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.919 got the job, well respected guy coming in as president 228 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.600 and hoping to change the culture, all that stuff. Doney 229 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.879 and Shane Doan. I I would be hard pressed to 230 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.600 find someone in hockey that doesn't say something nice about him. 231 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:10.440 He is really a screams the leader. Yeah, great presence, 232 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.039 not that that counts for everything, but there's certainly hockey 233 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:17.120 experience there and just screams the leader and they need 234 00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:19.519 to sell this product right now. And I think Shane 235 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:23.279 Don would do that. So but I don't. I don't understand. 236 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.360 And maybe it's you brought this point up the last 237 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.360 week week, week or two that maybe it's a situation 238 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:32.399 where you know, Shane Doan wants to move back to 239 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.720 western the western part of North America. 240 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:38.200 Right, that could be the possibility as well. But Shane 241 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.519 Doan would not be a bad hire in Vancouver if 242 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.120 he gets in whatever. 243 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:44.360 Fast, just get get it over with right now. Here's 244 00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:47.480 some advice, you know, quit you know, worrying about people 245 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:51.519 telling you how bad you are. Francesco and Jim Shane 246 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:56.799 Don president, all right, Ryan Johnson general manager, man named 247 00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:57.639 Malultra head coach. 248 00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:58.919 There you go, simple as that? 249 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.000 What two? Three? You agree with me? There you're going 250 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:03.000 on about Evan Gold. 251 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:05.320 Stop But I'm telling you what I'm here. And Evan 252 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:06.559 Gold is a serious candidate. 253 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:12.639 So the Leafs hired John Jaca and the Canucks Evin Gold. 254 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:14.639 Ryan Johns in the mix wherever the case may be. 255 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:18.080 But I don't know. Mike Gillis what what like? Just 256 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.240 like he seemed to have the best resume and would 257 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.120 be like a choice that I think would be really 258 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:29.320 popular both amongst Leafs fans and Connucks fans. What happened? 259 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:34.840 I'm rehiring, but he hasn't worked since Donnie twenty fourteen, 260 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.159 and we're ripping Jacob for not working for. 261 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:38.679 Six you're interviewing you had. 262 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:42.679 They're interviewing Pierre Dorion who has worked in two years. Right, 263 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:46.399 So Gillis is a guy that Jacob like, I'm sorry. 264 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.519 Like, and he was interviewed in uh Toronto for a 265 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.600 lengthy period of time. He didn't get the Toronto gig. 266 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.399 But I wonder what the relationship was with Gillis and Aquiline. 267 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.720 Would Acquallini want him back? Would he want him back? 268 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:02.960 Don I just all I'm all I'm saying is that 269 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.919 I get what you're saying. You know, look like be 270 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.360 going over old ground with with with Mike Gillis. It 271 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.840 would be I think it would be a popular choice. 272 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.080 I think I think Gillis and people want to Gilman 273 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.600 back to and run back the old group, you. 274 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:23.080 Know, yeah, yeah, okay, how do we do it for time? Right? 275 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:24.320 How are you by the way. 276 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.759 Yeah, absolutely, swall I just listen to the Least Press. 277 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:29.759 Oh yeah, how's that going? O? 278 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.480 Man? Let me tell you. I tell these got his 279 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.679 blue glasses on those. So oh he's got a lot of. 280 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:40.720 Must be uh, it must be okay. But John Jacob, 281 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.200 like I thought when they interviewed him. 282 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.000 Risk by the way, I thought, he's premiering real nervous. 283 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.519 Well, he's only thirty six years It was twenty six 284 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.840 years old in Arizona. And I think of that situation, 285 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.799 like when I heard he was being interviewed, I think 286 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:53.639 you felt the same way. 287 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:53.840 Rick. 288 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:57.000 It's like, okay, formality, they'll you know, they'll give the 289 00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.399 kiddish you know, on the interview and then and then 290 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:02.440 move on. He can it's the job he left in disgrace. 291 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:06.919 And then Zoni is going from a situation that is 292 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:11.720 the exact opposite to Toronto to the least right from 293 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:17.559 like nobody cares. It's not being supported. Their expectations there, 294 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:22.440 they're none. To Toronto, like you know, hey, let's get going, 295 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.120 let's perform. Well, all eyes are on you. What what 296 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.240 a situation. You said he's nervous, no kidding. 297 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:31.440 Yeah, appears he's reading his opening remarks and he seems 298 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.279 very I mean I would be too. It's essentially me. 299 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.960 That market will eat you live. That that that Toronto market. 300 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.679 What do you mean? Are you joking me? 301 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:43.200 Brian there looking at. 302 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:44.480 His last press conference. 303 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:46.480 This market's hard, you know, I mean, come on, it's 304 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:47.039 a sophomore. 305 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:47.919 This market's hard. 306 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.480 They've got the look at the story, these Simmons there 307 00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:52.159 and that's about it. 308 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:55.720 Donnie, come on, who's gonna it was hard? 309 00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.159 Yeah, it's hard. Question. 310 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.399 Yeah, better way to you just said what I tell 311 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.159 you that Keith Pelly today, Wow, he definitely seems that way. 312 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:07.799 I told you the Vancouver market's tough. Oh no, it's not. 313 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:10.639 It's not. They asked all the candidates, how would you 314 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.679 deal with the media in Vancouver? Yeah, exactly, it's harder 315 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:15.840 here than Toronto. You don't think they asked that in Toronto. 316 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.360 I think it's harder to the numbers. The numbers are 317 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.679 overwhelming in Toronto, but you know. 318 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:23.240 The center of the universe. 319 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:24.559 I mean, are you kidding me? 320 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.039 I think the media is harder in Montreal and Vancouver. Yeah, 321 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.600 on their hockey team than in Toronto. Toronto has the 322 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.799 numbers other than like and Steve Simmons isn't. 323 00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:35.279 He's kind of out of it. 324 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.039 Yeah, although he wrote a real interesting article about right there. 325 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.320 I don't know, but if he's nervous, maybe there's a reason. 326 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.279 Maybe he's intimidated by the Toronto. 327 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:47.679 Well, they're also doing it in Real Sports and so 328 00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:52.200 like apparently like the entire mlsc's staff is in the buildings. 329 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:55.320 That's not surprising for people who don't know. Real Sports 330 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:58.759 is part of Maples Square. Yeah, right outside the arena. Yeah, yes, 331 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:02.240 it's a nice setup. Okay, here's what's coming up on 332 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.399 the show. We haven't got time for the poll question 333 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.639 because it has to do with our next guest. 334 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.240 No, huh, I'm not even what did you just say? 335 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:11.399 I did? 336 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.519 I didn't hear this, you know why, because deep down 337 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.080 you care more about the leafs and the canal, and 338 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:19.639 you're focusing on that press call. 339 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:21.639 If it's a train wreck, I like that. 340 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.840 DTMZ is it just me? Coming up in the next hour, 341 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.679 Bob Stoffer is going to join us from Chad Radio 342 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.799 in Edmonton covers the Oilers out of the National Hockey 343 00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:35.240 League payoffs. They lost to a better team in the 344 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.120 Anaheim Ducks. And I can't believe I'm saying that. Going 345 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:40.960 into that series, I thought that Edmonton was going to 346 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.080 win it. But you watch that series and you realize 347 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:47.320 Anaheim is a very good hockey club right now, better 348 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:48.399 than the Oilers. 349 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.720 And they're young and they're going to be good for years. 350 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:55.320 Bob Staff for joining us just after eleven o'clock. Big Rye, 351 00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:57.639 the tquitter guy, coming up later this hour. We hope 352 00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:01.879 to run the draft lottery simulator.
