Donny 33 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.760 sold out crowd. It looks like off to Colorado to 34 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:56.959 face them, nothing but great. 35 00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.799 Well, his stock will go up. And as we all know, 36 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.519 Manny Mahultra considered a strong candidate to take over from 37 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:09.560 Rick talk At as head coach of the parent Vancouver Canucks. Now, 38 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.719 in line with that, we've heard over the last twenty 39 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.280 four hours, or least since we left the studio yesterday, 40 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:20.400 that another candidate from the American Hockey League has emerged, 41 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.479 Marco Stern. Like Manny Mahultra, a former Canuck, didn't last 42 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.560 long here in Vancouver. But Marco stern is the head 43 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.199 coach of the Ontario Rain in the La Kings organization. 44 00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:37.520 He has emerged seemingly out of nowhere as a coaching 45 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:38.960 candidate for the Vancouver Canucks. 46 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.120 They've interviewed a lot of American hockey guys, said Donnie, 47 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:47.080 I heard his name last Saturday at Pascal Vincent. Another 48 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.520 American hockey guys out there. But Donnie, I got to 49 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.840 ask you. You're interviewing a ton of American Hockey League coaches. 50 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.840 If you give the job to another American hockey coach 51 00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.960 and Manny's doing what he's doing, I mean, are you 52 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:01.159 kissing him goodbye? 53 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:01.639 Like? 54 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.400 Okay, you know Todd Nelson, his name's out there in 55 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.000 all these American Hockey League guys. If you pick one 56 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.159 of those guys over many, does he say see you 57 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:11.560 later on audio some out of here. 58 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:18.360 Yeah, that would definitely be a possibility. That is one 59 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.479 thing that would be a negative if if indeed that 60 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.639 happened with Marco Sturm or one of the other American 61 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.680 Hockey League coaches. Todd Nelson of the Hershey Bears, his 62 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.879 name is out there. He's got a lot of coaching experience, though, 63 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.400 and had a season with the Orders as an introm 64 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.879 head coach. Back in the day, Abensford is doing so 65 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.400 well in the playoffs Ontario, the Ontario Rain was upset 66 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.759 upset by the San Jose Barracuda in the American Hockey 67 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.319 League players, So are you are you going to give 68 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.439 the job to somebody? I know, I know there's there's 69 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.199 more to a resume than one series. I get all that, 70 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:51.759 but it would look, I would think, look bad if 71 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.280 you give the job to somebody who was unsuccessful this 72 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.919 spring versus somebody like Manny. He's been successful the whole season, 73 00:03:58.080 --> 00:03:59.759 including the postseason. 74 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.560 And he's in your backyard. And who's developing your young 75 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.319 guys like Elliots Peterson the defenseman. He's done a wonderful 76 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.520 job with them dot So I find that a little 77 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.960 bit odd, But who knows. I did say last week 78 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.639 looking for an American hockey a guy with experience in 79 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.920 the American League and the NHL as well, keeping those 80 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:18.920 young kids in mind. 81 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.519 He played six games for the Knucks at the start 82 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.439 of the twenty eleven twenty Tall Series. 83 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:26.000 Did he run any injuries? 84 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:26.959 Don I think? 85 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.519 If I can't remember, I do remember the Canucks getting. 86 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:34.319 Him, and that was of course near the end of 87 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.600 his career. But when you think Marco Sturm is a 88 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.319 player's what's the first thing that comes to mind? I 89 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:41.160 know what it is for me? 90 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:41.800 What is it? 91 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.040 Well, he was part of the Joe they lopsided Joe 92 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.439 Thornton Boston. 93 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.160 Yeah, he went to Boston. 94 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.920 Yeah, and Joe Thornton. This is one of the weird 95 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.920 stats in National Hockey League history. He won the Art 96 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.079 Ross that year playing for the Bruins and the San 97 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.639 Jose Sharks. I think I've got that right. But it 98 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.839 was Wayne Primo, Brad Stewart and Marco Stern to Boston 99 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.199 for Jill Thornton, who is at a contract as Peter Don. 100 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.600 He goes to San Jose and in great success. There 101 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.839 no Stanley cuffs, but he's in the Hall of Fame. 102 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.279 That's the first thing that comes to mind for me. 103 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.399 Absolutely. And you know what, he is a coach that's 104 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.439 been in LA with the Kings and also in their 105 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.360 farm team. So a couple of things about the Canucks 106 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.160 coaching search. How much money are they paying don Are 107 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:29.879 you going to pay two million or are you gonna 108 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.439 pay four or five million? That's one thing, and the 109 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.560 other one is how long are they willing to wait 110 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.319 on candidates still coaching? There's guys in the league. Well 111 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.800 we'll show the board. Yeah, the teams are waiting. I 112 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:47.279 mean these are possible Canucks head coaching candidates. Donny right here, Yeah. 113 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.920 And Manny Mahultra and again no particular order here of folks. 114 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.160 Mike Yeo in Ottawa, of course, has been part of 115 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:58.000 Rick Talcket's coaching staff in the past. Peter Laviolet, that 116 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.439 name is still out there. Mike Ucci and of course 117 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.040 he's part of the Penguins organization. Maybe he should be 118 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.279 at the top of this list. Jeremy Carlton, of course, 119 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.639 who Manny Maholter replaces an avatar he's. 120 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.800 Been talked about, yep, absolutely. 121 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:16.480 Marco Stern, Jay Woodcroft, former Oilers head coach. And you 122 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.879 you've talked a lot about Mitch Mitch Love, who's with 123 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:20.319 the Washington Capitols right now. 124 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.639 A lot of teams like Mitch Love, but he's coaching 125 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:24.439 with the Capitol So do you hell, how long do 126 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:24.759 you wait? 127 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.240 And do you risk lose losing somebody else? You might want? 128 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.360 I might want if Mitch says no, Todd Nelson with 129 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.079 Hershey and of course Adam Foot with the current Canucks staff. 130 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.120 I was told that on footage still in the mix, 131 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:40.079 he has not told the Canucks that he is going 132 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:40.800 anywhere yet. 133 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:47.920 Okay. Meanwhile, Rick Talckett, Yeah, Rick, this this keeps coming 134 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.560 up that despite what the Canucks what Jim Rutherford has 135 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:56.120 said that there are teams, at least one team on 136 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:01.759 the West Coast that is still a possibility for a 137 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.399 Rick Talcket landing spot. And by the way, Rick Talckett 138 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:05.800 is on tn T this weekend. 139 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.800 Yeah, Seattle, it's two hours. You're very low key today. 140 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:09.720 What do you want me to do? 141 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:12.079 What do you want me to do? 142 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.399 I can't put this but no, no, But then I 143 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.360 get accused of yelling like the lady that ripped me 144 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:19.000 on the email. 145 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:19.240 Yester. 146 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.079 Yeah, Rick yells too much. See this is what I mean. 147 00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.360 If I'm low key, then I'm low key. But as 148 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.560 soon as I raised my voice, I get emails too much. 149 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.800 I can't win. I can't win. Anyways, where were we, 150 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:37.879 Rick Tockett? You got Seattle? Yeah, Seattle? So uh. Talkott 151 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:42.079 is interviewed in Seattle and Talkott is also I believe 152 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.879 got a good offer from Seattle, but man, Donnie, two 153 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.279 hours down the highway, it would just be a slap 154 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.199 in the face. The optics don't look good for the Canucks. 155 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.160 So Rick Tackett tells Vancouver, I'm not back despite a 156 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.600 great offer done by the Canucks. Uh, but they're now 157 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.360 I'm going to go two hours down the high Wait, 158 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.319 Like I mean, I I that. 159 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.240 What would the offer be from Seattle? Do you know? 160 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:06.480 I don't know the offer, but I know it's good. 161 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.360 Well the rumor that Vancouver and a half million year? 162 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:09.959 Is that right? 163 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:10.199 For that? 164 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.319 We said five? You said five last week? 165 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:12.680 Yeah? 166 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:17.000 Yeah. Anyways, he got a great offer from the Canucks. 167 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:19.319 He said no. And by the way, I was told 168 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.600 that it's not about money for Talcket Donnie. It's not 169 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.800 about money. If it was about money, he would have 170 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.720 taken the Vancouver offer, which was great. 171 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:29.519 It was great. What's it about? 172 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.639 It's there's hey, who's the GM, what's the what's the team? 173 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.200 Where's the team in their cycle of winning? All those stuff? 174 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.639 I mean, nobody wants personalities and personalities involved. Who's He's 175 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:45.480 got buddies there in Seattle. Francis Botterrol there's connections. You know, 176 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.360 you you you said all the time he played with 177 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.799 Ron Francis in Pittsbursburg when they want Stanley Cups together, 178 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:56.679 there's a relationship there. But Seattle is definitely after Talket absolutely. 179 00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.320 I think the surprising thing with Rick Talckett, who is 180 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.600 on TNT doing analysis this weekend, back with his old buddies, 181 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.759 is that we haven't heard much about and in fact, 182 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:07.840 we don't even know if they've been in touch with him. 183 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.559 Everybody's assumed he's going to Philadelphia, but that isn't necessarily 184 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:11.879 the case. 185 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.759 Rick, No, Philly is in they have to We haven't 186 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.840 heard much about it. I Phillies in there, and I 187 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.639 believe that they have talked to talking, and I believe 188 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:22.759 it would not surprise me if Phillies made an offer. 189 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.039 So I just assumed that he had an offer waiting. 190 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.360 That's why he left. Oh no, you're going to turn 191 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.159 down four and a half million dollars a year. 192 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.320 You have to get permission. You have to get permission 193 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.519 from the Canucks to talk to Talcket because Talkeet's under 194 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.679 contract till June thirtieth, So you can't just go look 195 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.600 at twenty they got permission. Talkets got permission from the Canucks. 196 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.600 The Bruins are in the mix for him, the Penguins. 197 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:46.480 That's the one you've been hearing a lot. Yeah, they're 198 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.960 going to set up an interview in Boston. Talcket's going 199 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.120 to do fine. I see these five six guys they 200 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.440 work together on Twitter. These guys they got the agenda. 201 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:56.159 They're ripping TALKT because. 202 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:56.840 Which five guys? 203 00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:58.799 Now you know the five it's the same five steps 204 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.360 to have. They drive every one nuts. They love Patterson, 205 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.120 they hate to hate Miller. All these guys they work together. 206 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.080 There's five six accounts. But anyways, listen, uh, they're ripping TALKT. 207 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:10.120 He's not a good coach man. 208 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:12.840 You get so upset with emails and texts. 209 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.000 Stop look at you when we get ripped here you 210 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.159 this is Donnie Well No, hold on, I've got one 211 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:22.320 stock response is so great.

All these people that say 215 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.519 talk It isn't a good coach. Why does he got offers? 216 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.039 Why are all seven teams have contacted his agents that 217 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.240 are looking for a coach. He talked to the Ducks 218 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.000 before they hired. There was several discussions between Talking and 219 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.840 the Ducks and they picked uh, they picked Quinnville. 220 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.799 Okay. Let This leads to a Waddling Don poll question. 221 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.679 Visit one of Victoria's favorite pubs, the Waddling Dog. Rick, Well, 222 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.200 you got they're criticizing you these days too, where you 223 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.600 can enjoy twenty caps and twenty screens. You're home for 224 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.159 the Canucks in UFC. Come sit and stay at the 225 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.039 Wattling Dog today, Rick, right, get her up the Wattling Dog. 226 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:08.559 Pop pole question. What will your reaction be if Rick 227 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:13.240 Talkett becomes head coach in Seattle? Angry towards talkt, angry 228 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.120 towards the Canucks or mah, which means what does mad mean? Ryan? 229 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.240 Indifference? Indifference? You don't really care. 230 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.360 How these young kids use words. I've never used math, 231 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:27.279 but anyways, mas winning at forty nine percent and then 232 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:31.440 twenty seven percent, say angry at Tacket, then angry at 233 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:32.879 the Canucks at twenty four percent. 234 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.320 I'm shocked that meh indifference is winning here. Yeah, I 235 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.360 thought for sure there'd be more emotion one way or 236 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.200 the other two hours down the highway in your division. 237 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.600 Well no, also because the thought it was or we 238 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.799 were told that it was because he wanted he's leaving 239 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:50.480 the Canucks as he wanted to work in the East. 240 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:52.679 So I thought there'd be more anger. 241 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.360 I have a I just I've done a terrible job 242 00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:57.159 of reading the Vancouver. 243 00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.360 Or not because said Rutherford said, he only want but 244 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.320 there's the results of her. But I was told that 245 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.759 that comment caught people off card Donnie in your division. 246 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.200 If Talcket signs for five years in Seattle, he's in 247 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.159 your division for five years, right, Hughes leaves him two 248 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.639 Cannock's going to a rebuild like you want. And here's 249 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.600 talking coming in town, smacking the Canucks seven to one, 250 00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:22.720 and then Hughes goes to Seattle. I would talk all 251 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.559 working here, Yeah, it's all working out. 252 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:24.879 Uh. 253 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.279 It would do one thing. It would do wonders for 254 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.519 the Vancouver Seattle rivalry. There you go, which is zero 255 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.960 right now. I don't get pumped up for a Canucks 256 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:39.039 kracking game. Usually as playoffs, a line brawl something like 257 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:40.840 that gets a rivalry going. 258 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.240 But this might do it. If talk it ends up, 259 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:47.720 if Capitol letters, if Okay. Also, we'll get to our 260 00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:51.039 rundown in a second. But and we'll talk about this 261 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.159 this subject in a bit. These NHL Playoffs, the Stanley Cup, 262 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.120 PLAYFFS Man. Every night I go home and it just 263 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:02.399 does not disappoint. No, they haven't disappointed one single night. 264 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.799 The Capitol's Hurricanes game was very good. It was close 265 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:06.639 right until the end. 266 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:07.600 Wilson and then. 267 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.039 The Oilers and Knights was way better as good as 268 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:15.000 the Capitals and Hurricanes were. It was just amazing, the 269 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:17.639 ups and downs and the storylines in that game. 270 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:23.000 Your buddy Pod Colson, you were the guy that said 271 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.519 the Canucks take Coffield. And there's Donnie last night tweeting. 272 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:29.639 Now Ryan showed the tweet You're you're pumping up Pod Colson. 273 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:32.159 I just said they're pumping up put Colson, and you 274 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:35.519 said the Canucks should take Coffield, and here you are 275 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.720 last night jacking up his tires. 276 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:38.879 What's up with that? 277 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.279 Als I tweeted out was pods with an exclamation mark 278 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:43.279 or two. That was it. 279 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:45.519 But you told us they made a mistake. They should 280 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.080 have taken Coffield. And here look at this. You know 281 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:49.639 what what was that about? 282 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:53.120 Which it's just interesting it's just interesting for Canuck fans 283 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.919 that this guy and look at you, you're you're talking 284 00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:01.320 about me, you know, being negative toward Vasilli. Put the 285 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:02.200 Connects got rid of. 286 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:04.759 Him Rick Oh for a fourth thrown picks in the 287 00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:08.519 summer when no one expected it. But the reason that 288 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.840 they got Pod Coleson Edmonton is because they knew they 289 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.200 were not going to match the offer sheets to Saint 290 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.639 Louis for the Broberg and the other player. 291 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:19.879 Bottom line, I wonder if they'd like, of course they'd 292 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.360 like to have that twenty nineteen draft pick back or 293 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.519 another shot at them, maybe maybe take a Coffield or 294 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.879 other people. Boldy was in that draft as well. But 295 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.679 but Coleson one in one last night. He's got six 296 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.519 points an eight playoff games. This is his goal here, 297 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:38.360 but one goal, five assists, six points in eight games. Now, 298 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.240 I only played nine minutes last night. I think he 299 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:44.799 got one shift in overtime. But you know, in terms 300 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:47.480 of what everybody expected him to do, it ebonton and 301 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:51.759 I realized he's playing with some superior players there at Edmonton. 302 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:53.879 No one expected this, so good on it. 303 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.200 Good on them, and they're getting depth scoring. They got 304 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.799 four lines Brown Perry, Pod Coles and jan Mark. They're 305 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:02.960 all contributing. Evander Kaine's been good. Yeah, I got getting 306 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.399 goals from their defense. Their defense, they're missing a top defense. 307 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:08.679 Calm Bicker is six and oer. They've had six come 308 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:12.320 from behind wins. Give the credit, Give credit to the orders. 309 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:16.399 Whether you like him or not, Don I'm okay. I'm 310 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:17.159 okay with mcgave. 311 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.320 Ryan made this point about it's not so much pulling 312 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:21.600 for the Oilers winning a Stanley Cup. I've seen that 313 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:23.799 five times before. But I want to see one of 314 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:26.360 the great players of all time host of Stanley Cup 315 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:28.919 at some point, maybe with another team. I'm not sure, 316 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:32.039 but looking very good right now. Okay, here's what's coming 317 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.639 up on the show.

I mean, I remember when he was 331 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:13.840 in Ottawa and he started out when they had the 332 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:14.600 expansion team. 333 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.360 Big ride.

Just where are you 375 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:58.519 when it comes to the possibility of Manny Mahultra replacing 376 00:18:58.599 --> 00:18:59.920 Rick Tockett as head coach of the. 377 00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:03.799 Yeah, I mean I think it's a little soon. I'll 378 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:05.480 be honest with you. I think it's a little soon. 379 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.279 But if you wanted to make the argument, if the 380 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:12.480 organization wanted to make the argument that look, regardless of experience, 381 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:14.359 you've seen the work that this guy did in his 382 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:18.359 first chance as a professional head coach. It was electrics. 383 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.359 He's a genius. He's the right guy for the job. 384 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.880 And whether the timing is perfect or not, you know, 385 00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:27.599 in an ideal world, maybe maybe he'd get a couple 386 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:28.720 more years of seasoning. 387 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:30.319 But we don't live in an ideal world. 388 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:34.119 And after you know, investigating our options, we determined that 389 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:35.400 this was the right guy for the job. 390 00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:36.440 I'd say, yeah, that makes sense. 391 00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:39.759 I mean his work at the American League level has 392 00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:43.160 been pretty much undeniable. You think about, you know, Lacara 393 00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:47.799 Maki's development down in the AHL this year, Ratu's progress, 394 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.000 you know, you think about how Elias Petterson has come along, 395 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:55.279 the readiness of all the players at the NHL level 396 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:57.759 that the club called up, especially down the stretch, and 397 00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:01.599 how they fit in, how prepared they were. You know, 398 00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:06.000 Malhotra replaced like an elite American League coach in Jeremy Caleton. 399 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:09.119 This was his first years as a head coach at 400 00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:12.480 the professional level, at any level, Like he's never been 401 00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:16.319
