Speaker 1: Check Podcasts.
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to the Donnie and Dolly Podcast. Catch
Speaker 2: the show Monday through Fudday, ten am to noon on Check.
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna want to hear this.
Speaker 2: Your local sports coverage lives here.
Speaker 3: Two nothing.
Speaker 2: It's Alva not so fast Coho breath with Don 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: little Ricky. I used to go up that tree and
Speaker 4: just sit there for hours and a bunch of new
Speaker 4: Jery years.
Speaker 2: Donnie and Dolly.
Speaker 3: Ten o'clock at Downtown That Cooper run the Paul Carson Studio.
Speaker 3: Thanks for tuning in, folks. It's Donnie and Dolly the
Speaker 3: team on Check. Don Taylor, along with Rick Dollywall. Ryan
Speaker 3: Henderson is our producer. He's the man of the controls,
Speaker 3: our director, the voice of God Fresh on vacation, Derek Wong,
Speaker 3: how are you couldn't be better? The NHL Draft Lottery
Speaker 3: goes today four o'clock Pacific. The Canucks with the best lads,
Speaker 3: best odds of landing the number one pick. We'll deal
Speaker 3: with that a little bit later. A lot of history
Speaker 3: there with the Canucks when it comes to the draft lottery.
Speaker 3: None of it good. No. In the meantime, we're going
Speaker 3: to focus, as we have for so long now on
Speaker 3: the Canucks search for a new general manager, possibly a
Speaker 3: new replacement for our replacement for Jim Rutherford. Pierre Dorian
Speaker 3: is getting all sorts of traction right. There are people
Speaker 3: reporting that he's going to be the Caducks next general manager,
Speaker 3: replacing Patrick Alvin. So the lesson from Vancouver and Toronto,
Speaker 3: if indeed this happens, is that if you do a
Speaker 3: poor job and you break the rules, you can be
Speaker 3: the general manager of a Canadian national hockey league.
Speaker 4: And if you're at a big if you're not working
Speaker 4: for a few years, step right up. It's okay, It's okay.
Speaker 3: John Chaika, Keith Pelly and Matt Sendin could not have
Speaker 3: come across more uncomfortable than they did yesterday with the Leafs.
Speaker 3: But that's a matter for another city. Let's focus on
Speaker 3: the Canucks. What are you hearing? And we talked about
Speaker 3: Pierre Dorian yesterday about him getting two interviews, one of
Speaker 3: which was in person. What's the latest?
Speaker 4: So there is no question that Pierre Dorian is named
Speaker 4: Don one of the leading candidates to be named the
Speaker 4: new GM of the Canucks. But I want to say
Speaker 4: this too, he's not been hired. Other top candidates I
Speaker 4: know have not been told they are out. This is
Speaker 4: a process on going, not imminent today or tomorrow. This
Speaker 4: could take a few more days before they find someone.
Speaker 4: Ryan Johnson is still in the mix today. You can
Speaker 4: be a strong candidate, Don and maybe somebody passes you
Speaker 4: in a couple of days or a week or whatever.
Speaker 4: But definitely hearing a lot about guy Dorian. Now we
Speaker 4: know they wanted experience. He impressed, like I will tell you,
Speaker 4: he impressed in his interviews with Vancouver Dorian. One thing
Speaker 4: that could be appealing for the Canucks is that Dorian
Speaker 4: has moved bad contracts in the past. He moved Eric
Speaker 4: Carlson in twenty eighteen. Well, there is there not a
Speaker 4: bad contract in Vancouver, Dot right now that you are you,
Speaker 4: you are that you harp on every day the week. Well,
Speaker 4: guess what it is hard to do rebuilds with bad contracts.
Speaker 4: He has traded a ton of big names in Canadian market.
Speaker 4: He's done that, and surely he can move Ellie's Petterson right, right, surely, surely, hey,
Speaker 4: a general manager in the Western Hockey League can move
Speaker 4: Petterson if the owner decided to take money back every year.
Speaker 4: It's not hard to do. The moment the owner says, okay,
Speaker 4: I'll retain for six more years. That deals.
Speaker 3: That's so easy. Why are they Why is Jim Rutherford
Speaker 3: sticking around?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 4: Great question. I can see why Francesco Aclini likes Dorian.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you why.
Speaker 3: Experience.
Speaker 4: He's got it worked in the Canadian market, got It,
Speaker 4: dealt with Canadian media. Got It has established relationships in
Speaker 4: the NHL. Got It has worked with the Demanding order
Speaker 4: before got It. So you're all for this, don't you
Speaker 4: put words in my mouth. I never said that.
Speaker 3: You just said you can see why Francesco aquall.
Speaker 4: Did I say, I can see why?
Speaker 3: I yeah, I know you can see why he would
Speaker 3: be impressed by Pierre Dorian. I hope and this happens
Speaker 3: a lot in the corporate world. You know this. Yes,
Speaker 3: you've worked for Bell and Rogers and everybody else.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: I hope that they're not hiring somebody strictly based on
Speaker 3: how they come across and interviews. People can pull the
Speaker 3: wool over I get the fielding. That's what happened in
Speaker 3: Toronto as a matter of fact. But that's what that's
Speaker 3: that's my opinion. I hope they can separate the two things.
Speaker 3: Is this guy the right person for the job or
Speaker 3: is he just somebody who gave gave good interview?
Speaker 4: Come on, he impressed in the interviews, is what I've
Speaker 4: been told. But here's the thing don that I don't get.
Speaker 4: He was fired in Ottawa for botching up a trade.
Speaker 4: Do you know the guy that helped him botch up
Speaker 4: that trade was Ryan Bonus. They worked together on botch
Speaker 4: He's also still in the mix. So two of the
Speaker 4: Canucks finalists for the GM job in Vancouver are two
Speaker 4: guys who screwed up a trade together in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4: That is amazing to me that two guys are on
Speaker 4: the short list. One guy many outlets today think is
Speaker 4: going to get the GM job. Two guys are screwed
Speaker 4: up a trade in twenty twenty three, or two of
Speaker 4: the finalists, And.
Speaker 3: So who's still alive? O? Let me, let me let
Speaker 3: me start here, Let me start here. OK, we're understanding
Speaker 3: today that Shane Doan is no longer a candidate to
Speaker 3: join the Knucks organization? Have I got that right?
Speaker 4: That story was broken out of Arizona yesterday? First we
Speaker 4: reports out of Arizona dones out in Vancouver. Here's what
Speaker 4: I was told about Shane Doan got a zoom interview.
Speaker 4: I don't think don can't get confirmation that he got
Speaker 4: the second in person interview. I don't know what happened
Speaker 4: with Shane don't. Maybe he wanted the president's job. The
Speaker 4: Canucks don't want to hire a president because they got one.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm trying to work on that, but
Speaker 4: I've been told he did not get an in person interview.
Speaker 4: Reports out of Arizona first yesterday that dones out in Vancouver.
Speaker 3: Evan Gold Boston.
Speaker 4: As far as I'm concerned, Evan Gold's in the mix,
Speaker 4: Ryan Johnson in the mix, assistant GM and bonuses in
Speaker 4: the mix. Langan Brunner is another name. We're hearing that.
Speaker 4: Brett Patterson from Florida. Is he still in the mix.
Speaker 4: So there's none.
Speaker 3: Of these guys have experiences at GM and not a
Speaker 3: Canadian market.
Speaker 4: And so why is Dorian So why is Dorian's name
Speaker 4: coming up hot and heavy today?
Speaker 3: Hot?
Speaker 4: I'm telling you heavy, hot and heavy. It's it's hot
Speaker 4: and heavy today experience.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: This owner has clearly stated he doesn't want to hire
Speaker 4: a third straight rookie GM. He's scared. He's scared.
Speaker 3: Gillis was a rookie GM and it worked out.
Speaker 4: I saw out some don't. His last two gms didn't
Speaker 4: work out, Jim Benning and Patrick Alvin rookie gms didn't
Speaker 4: work out, don And that's combined, those two combined for
Speaker 4: eleven years.
Speaker 3: And where are the connects with Ryan Johnson? Because I
Speaker 3: know what's gonna happen here, and I'll and people a
Speaker 3: few years from now will go man done, you were
Speaker 3: bang on, which is often the case. They're going to
Speaker 3: hire Pierre Dorian and the rebuild will go or whatever
Speaker 3: they're gonna call it, retool, small R rebuild, high high bred, retool, whatever,
Speaker 3: it'll go awry. Ryan Johnson will go to the Nashville
Speaker 3: Predators and excel. Oh mark that down.
Speaker 4: Market been around for a long time, Ryan, get that
Speaker 4: mark down the time. Donny said that mark down the time.
Speaker 4: My biggest fear is Ryan Johnson.
Speaker 3: Where are we?
Speaker 4: You just said something that I got to touch on.
Speaker 4: My biggest fear is that Dorian went in there and
Speaker 4: said I could fix this in two years. That's that's
Speaker 4: my biggest fear.
Speaker 3: Please don't tell me that. I I want to hear that.
Speaker 4: I told you why I think the Canucks like Dorian.
Speaker 4: But my biggest fear is this owner fell in love
Speaker 4: with Dorian because he told him I can fix it
Speaker 4: in two years.
Speaker 3: That would be been there, done that. That's what every
Speaker 3: Knuck fan is saying right now.
Speaker 4: The biggest nightmare in the history of the Canucks is
Speaker 4: if Dorian went in there and said, I'll fix it
Speaker 4: in two years. Hook line sink You're in. That's the
Speaker 4: biggest fear of any bet Ryan Johnson, you don't hear
Speaker 4: much about him. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm
Speaker 4: not gonna lie to you. As every day goes by,
Speaker 4: I think the chances of Ryan are less and less.
Speaker 4: I don't hear his name. We hear all these others.
Speaker 4: You say to me, Shane, don't Evan Goal, Ryan Bonus, Langer, Bruner,
Speaker 4: Lawrence Gilman. But you know Lawrence Gilman is not in
Speaker 4: the mix of Vancouver. I was told Columbus yesterday. I
Speaker 4: was told by he's with them. The Canucks have not
Speaker 4: asked for permission to talk to Lawrence Gilman. I think
Speaker 4: him and Mike Gillis is a pipe dream. It's too late.
Speaker 4: I think they're so far ahead in this don They
Speaker 4: got so many needs with Dorian. You mean all these guys,
Speaker 4: all these guys, it's hard to bring these. As of
Speaker 4: yesterday morning, they had not called Columbus for permission to
Speaker 4: talk to Gilmot.
Speaker 3: So Pierre Dorian, as of this morning, has emerged as
Speaker 3: I would say, the number one candidate to take over
Speaker 3: from Patrick Alvin twenty sixteen to twenty twenty three. That's
Speaker 3: when he was the Ottawa Senators general manager under Eugene Melnick. Ryan,
Speaker 3: do we have that board of the moves or the
Speaker 3: trades that what's going on? Do we have it? Or
Speaker 3: you're scratching yourself there? Okay, Derek, we got it all right? Good,
Speaker 3: there you go. So significant Pierre Dorian moves in Audawa.
Speaker 3: This wasn't good. Traded micause A Jinabad and a second
Speaker 3: round pick to the Rangers for Derek Prissard and a
Speaker 3: seventh rounder. Zabina Jed went on to become i'd say
Speaker 3: a pillar for the New York Every part of the
Speaker 3: mark Stone to Vegas for Oscar Lindburg, Eric Branstrom and
Speaker 3: a second rounder Eric Carlson to San Jose for package
Speaker 3: that included Josh Norris a twenty twenty first round pick
Speaker 3: that was used for Tim Stoots, so that that was
Speaker 3: a good deal. He failed to make Vegas this is
Speaker 3: this is the mistake he made where he broke the
Speaker 3: broke the rules. And Ryan Bonus was in on this
Speaker 3: as well. Failed to make Vegas aware of the Jenny
Speaker 3: Dad nosst ten team no trade list, resulting in a
Speaker 3: trade between Vegas and Anaheim getting squashed in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3: And not long after that he lost his job. And
Speaker 3: that's what I was saying at the start of the
Speaker 3: show that John Jacobs shockingly against that job with the
Speaker 3: Leafs after getting in trouble with the Coyotes and with
Speaker 3: the league to the point where he lost his job,
Speaker 3: and the same thing with Pierre during during and now
Speaker 3: we understand that he's gonna he's seemingly on the verge
Speaker 3: of taking over the conuction job. That's a little surprising,
Speaker 3: I should mention. On the positive side, is there another
Speaker 3: part to this board, by the way, No, okay, So
Speaker 3: drafting wise, Pierre during rag about this, and rightfully so.
Speaker 3: We mentioned that twenty twenty draft. Yeah, Tim Stuttzell taken
Speaker 3: by the Ottawa Senators third overall. They also got Jake
Speaker 3: Sanderson fifth overall and Ridley greg twenty eighth overall, all
Speaker 3: of whom have played around two hundred and forty NHL
Speaker 3: games or more, in the case of Tim stuttsl four
Speaker 3: hundred and forty seven games. It's how scouts look at
Speaker 3: it was at a successful draft. Well, how many games
Speaker 3: did the guy play? And Jake Sanderson three hundred and
Speaker 3: three games. Todder Clevin was in that draft as well.
Speaker 3: That's an outstanding draft by any measure for any team.
Speaker 3: So you give Pierre Dorian that. It's just that this
Speaker 3: this name Rick wasn't mentioned until the last couple of days.
Speaker 3: I'm taking a lot of people by surprise.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and again today he's the hot name. We're not
Speaker 4: saying he's getting hired. There's either interview. Guys have not
Speaker 4: been Ryan Johnson hasn't been told he's out. Other guys
Speaker 4: haven't been told there out. It's a hot name today.
Speaker 4: Hearing a lot about it. A lot of media outlets
Speaker 4: are reporting that he's the hot name and he could
Speaker 4: be the new GM, but it's not done. The process continues.
Speaker 4: They haven't told anyone they're out, So let the process
Speaker 4: play out and let's see what happens. But definitely a
Speaker 4: lot of buzz about Dorian today for sure.
Speaker 3: Okay, we got we gotta take a break, so we're
Speaker 3: gonna deal. This is such a big day in connuct
Speaker 3: for Conduct Nation NHL draft lottery connects with the best
Speaker 3: odds of landing that number one overall slot for the
Speaker 3: June National Hockey League Draft. We'll deal with that. And
Speaker 3: if you're a long time Conduct follower sufferer, you know
Speaker 3: that the draft lottery we talked about it earlier has
Speaker 3: not been kind to the banker of ecnducts. Here's what's
Speaker 3: coming up on the show, DTMC Is it just me
Speaker 3: in the eleven o'clock hour. Craig Button will join us
Speaker 3: just after eleven o'clock former National Hockey League General manager.
Speaker 3: We'll see what he thinks of Pierre Duran and Ryan
Speaker 3: Bonus and maybe some names we don't know much about it,
Speaker 3: like like Evan gold a big ride, the quitter guy
Speaker 3: coming up later this hour, and up next Jamie mcclennan
Speaker 3: does Attawa Senators are broadcasts. He knows about Pierre Dorian.

Speaker 3: as we bring in from TSN. Noodles Jamie mcclennan, who
Speaker 3: couldn't join us yesterday as he normally does every second
Speaker 3: week on on a Monday, but he joins us today, Jamie,
Speaker 3: thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 7: How are you not too bad? How are you guys
Speaker 7: doing today?
Speaker 3: Very well? You're very familiar with the Ottawa Senators. What
Speaker 3: goes through your mind when you hear about Pierre Dorian
Speaker 3: being a strong candidate to take over as Canucks GM.
Speaker 8: Well, I mean the one thing that if you're a
Speaker 8: Sins fan or I you know, work closely to the team,
Speaker 8: is pretty good talent evaluator. If you look at his
Speaker 8: draft record, I mean that first round that they had,
Speaker 8: which included tim stouts like Jake Sanderson, Ridley greg All
Speaker 8: in one draft. I mean that's three cornerstone pieces to
Speaker 8: an organization that are you know, going to be pretty
Speaker 8: much successful for years to come. So I look at Pierre.
Speaker 8: Every manager makes mistakes. I'm sure he would say that too,
Speaker 8: but you know, in the end, you know he signed
Speaker 8: Drake Bathurson. A lot of these guys are on term
Speaker 8: deals and they're pretty value contracts for instead of considering
Speaker 8: what they bring to the table. So Pierre Dorian's name,
Speaker 8: I did hear that. I've heard a lot of different names,
Speaker 8: so I don't know where they land. But again, sometimes
Speaker 8: you're better in your second situation than you are first.
Speaker 8: But I look at a guy like Pierre Dorian, who's
Speaker 8: you know, set the Ottawa Senators up for years and
Speaker 8: done a pretty good job in certain situations for them. Yes,
Speaker 8: there are other things where there was a you know,
Speaker 8: the draft pick that they lost. I can't remember what
Speaker 8: trade was that dead enough Dad enough, So that didn't
Speaker 8: go so well. So as much as there's positive, there
Speaker 8: is negative. Like any manager, you know, the best managers
Speaker 8: in the league still have missus and still have mistakes
Speaker 8: on their on their docket. But it's how you learn
Speaker 8: from them and how you're able to adapt and move on.
Speaker 3: Someone else with a strong Autawa connection, And I'll hate
Speaker 3: you with this, Jamie. I don't know how much you
Speaker 3: know about him. But Ryan Bonus and also considered a
Speaker 3: strong candidate for the for the Canucks job. What do
Speaker 3: you know about him?
Speaker 8: I know a lot about him and I love Ryan
Speaker 8: as well. I think Ryan is a real progressive up
Speaker 8: and coming. Obviously it runs in the family. His dad
Speaker 8: is one of the most beloved coaches of all time.
Speaker 8: You know this is that Kevin Bake and the six
Speaker 8: degrees of the Bonus family. Because you know, I've had
Speaker 8: Rick as a coach with the Islanders, obviously cross paths
Speaker 8: with him in a lot of hockey circles. Ryan, you know,
Speaker 8: was the AGM with the Ottawa Senators, did a terrific job.
Speaker 8: I think he's a great talented evaluator as well. So
Speaker 8: you know, you never know how guys going to be
Speaker 8: until they actually get into the chair, because being an
Speaker 8: assistant GM is so much different than being in the
Speaker 8: main chair.
Speaker 7: But I think, you know, hockey runs in his blood.
Speaker 8: I think Ryan Bonus is going to be a manager
Speaker 8: in the league, whether that's in Vancouver or somewhere else.
Speaker 7: It's just a matter of time for him.
Speaker 8: I think he's a fantastic human and and would be
Speaker 8: an unbelievable candidate as well as Dorian.
Speaker 3: I know you're located back he's but what do you
Speaker 3: think Ryan Johnson is thinking of this whole process. He's
Speaker 3: been such a solid soldier for the vankor for Canucks.
Speaker 7: You know, it's funny.
Speaker 8: I spoke to somebody this morning that you know, has
Speaker 8: connections to the Canucks as far as you know, just
Speaker 8: ties to the organization and said it would be a
Speaker 8: travesty if Marj didn't get that job. And for what
Speaker 8: he's it's almost like drafting and developing. They have developed
Speaker 8: him within the organization, He's learned under you know, everybody there,
Speaker 8: and to me, he should be the number one candidate.
Speaker 7: But again you have to do your due diligence.
Speaker 8: Doesn't mean they don't land on him or keep him
Speaker 8: in the organization as a very valuable piece. But I
Speaker 8: think RJ's another wonderful candidate. When you're looking at some
Speaker 8: of the people that could could you know, succeed, I
Speaker 8: think he would be one of them. And you look
Speaker 8: at his track record even within the organization, and how
Speaker 8: well he's done in Abbotsford and how well respected he is.
Speaker 8: You know, I wouldn't say I would be shocked if
Speaker 8: he became the GM, because I think it would be
Speaker 8: the natural progression. I would be more shocked if he
Speaker 8: didn't at least get a serious consideration for it, based
Speaker 8: on he's right in your backyard and you know him
Speaker 8: and you know the fiber of the human beings. So
Speaker 8: a lot of good things about RJ. And you know,
Speaker 8: I do believe it's just a matter of time for
Speaker 8: him getting in the chair again. I hope it's in
Speaker 8: Vancouver because they have developed him. If it's not, it'll
Speaker 8: be somewhere else.
Speaker 4: Hey, Jamie, what about John Jaco, the new GM of
Speaker 4: the may Police the press conference yesterday? What did you
Speaker 4: think of it?
Speaker 7: Chris Johnston was in the building and he used the
Speaker 7: word uncomfortable. I don't you know.
Speaker 8: The one thing that I always try and remove emotion
Speaker 8: from is you can't win or lose a like a
Speaker 8: press conference. And then the from Mapleys over years have
Speaker 8: tried to win press conferences and the last couple haven't
Speaker 8: gone as well for them. I just want to sit
Speaker 8: back and judge their body of work. And I actually
Speaker 8: just used Pierre Dorian as an example. First time on
Speaker 8: the job, probably learned a lot and your second time
Speaker 8: is going to be a lot different based on some
Speaker 8: of the relationships you have, some of the lessons you've
Speaker 8: learned along the way. I've been trying to give John
Speaker 8: Cheika that type of leeway as well. Let him settle in.
Speaker 8: It's a different team, different resources. Keep in mind he
Speaker 8: was running or I'm sorry, Arizona and Phoenix, so I
Speaker 8: guess it was called with overs horses.
Speaker 7: I mean the league was running it.
Speaker 8: As far as finances, he had a crazy owner that was,
Speaker 8: you know, seem to be weird and do some weird things,
Speaker 8: so you know, this is a different you know, it's
Speaker 8: a different animal, though I will say it's not Arizona
Speaker 8: like he is.
Speaker 7: He was going from one of the most.
Speaker 8: Obscure organizations to the biggest ones on planet Earth when
Speaker 8: it comes to hockey coverage. So that's going to be
Speaker 8: a culture shock for him. But yesterday was uncomfortable on
Speaker 8: a lot of different levels. Uh not even the Steve
Speaker 8: Steve sent Simmons question that you know, we all know
Speaker 8: it shook the internet, but you know, Rosie Demando follows
Speaker 8: up saying, you know, I'm still confused, where's the hierarchy,
Speaker 8: Who's who's answering to who? And so there's still a
Speaker 8: lot of questions out there. I think the one thing
Speaker 8: they wanted to do is get through the press conference
Speaker 8: and get to work. And they're on the clock tonight.
Speaker 8: We'll see how the draft lottery goes. And same thing
Speaker 8: for the Canucks and the Flames in the Winnipeg Jets
Speaker 8: and teams here in Canada have a lot of skin
Speaker 8: and what's going to happen tonight. But it certainly was
Speaker 8: a weird day for the Toronto Maple Leafs yesterday.
Speaker 4: Fifteen goals in Game one. Colorado Minnesota the Wild just
Speaker 4: announced moments ago a goaltending change. Are you surprised?
Speaker 7: Not surprised?
Speaker 8: I think you know Walstead they were a tandemal season long,
Speaker 8: so you had to know at some point that there
Speaker 8: was going to be a switch.
Speaker 7: I think you know.
Speaker 8: You look at how how well Walsted played in the
Speaker 8: first series. It's only natural sometimes you're going to hit
Speaker 8: a bit of a wall, even a scenario where you
Speaker 8: do take a step back, even if it's a game,
Speaker 8: you give him a little bit of a breather. But
Speaker 8: I'm not surprised by that. Plus, keep in mind, with
Speaker 8: your pre scout, you want to give different looks. Colorado
Speaker 8: certainly found something on Walstead. Now they'll go to Gustafson
Speaker 8: and see if Gustinson can slam the door shut and
Speaker 8: they can get that series. E Well, I think that
Speaker 8: series is going long. And I've said this all along,
Speaker 8: and now I have to preface my comments saying I've
Speaker 8: been wrong and all of my picks so far. So
Speaker 8: but I thought Minnesota's going to give them everything and
Speaker 8: even potentially win that series. That's how close I thought
Speaker 8: they were, and that was no slight on Colorado because
Speaker 8: they haven't done anything wrong. It was more about how
Speaker 8: well I thought how well rounded Minnesota was, from their
Speaker 8: goaltending to their d They've got two stud defensemen, not
Speaker 8: just one, two stud and then their forwards are very deep.
Speaker 8: So it's a pick them for me, and I think
Speaker 8: Minnesota's going to give them everything they can.
Speaker 3: Man, the Hurricanes look like they're headed to this Towny
Speaker 3: Cup final. They win an overtime. They're all played in
Speaker 3: overtime with the Flyers and they end up winning an
Speaker 3: overtime three to two. They haven't lost yet. Freddie Anderson
Speaker 3: nine to fifty eight save percentage, one oh two goals
Speaker 3: against the average, the former Toronto maple Leaf. What do
Speaker 3: you like about his game right now, Jamie.
Speaker 8: I'd like the fact that he's in the net. And
Speaker 8: what I mean by that is that this is a
Speaker 8: guy who has unfortunately battled the injury bug at critical times.
Speaker 8: So the fact that he's playing games and looks comfortable
Speaker 8: and looks very happy that when you look at the
Speaker 8: way that they play in front of him, it suits Freddie.
Speaker 8: There's not a lot of side to side motion they're able,
Speaker 8: like Carolina is elite defending, and they've got tremendous sticks,
Speaker 8: so a lot of times there's not that extra pass,
Speaker 8: extra play, So Freddie can be six foot five, two
Speaker 8: hundred and thirty in the net and front a lot
Speaker 8: of shots and make the saves that he should. I
Speaker 8: thought he was brilliant against Ottawa, absolutely brilliant. I don't
Speaker 8: think he's had to be brilliant against Philadelphia. But what
Speaker 8: he's had to be is good a couple of big
Speaker 8: saves at the right time for his team, and I
Speaker 8: think he's done a fantastic job. There's never been a
Speaker 8: doubt in my mind Freddie's ability. It's his availability that
Speaker 8: has been a concern for me. So far, so good
Speaker 8: for Freddy because he's in the net for them, has.
Speaker 3: A Sabers looking forward to that and those those two
Speaker 3: buildings that should be tremendous Game one tomorrow. But let's
Speaker 3: stick with goaltenders. Mister Goltander, Yakub Dobish, what do you
Speaker 3: like about his game right now?
Speaker 8: So he reminds me of Yarrahollac when Montreal went on
Speaker 8: that run and they had Carry Price sitting on the bench,
Speaker 8: and I mean Jacob Fowler seems to be carry price
Speaker 8: sitting on the bench and it's Dobush that's running.
Speaker 7: Who could be Halac. But you know, the one thing that.
Speaker 8: I was concerned about Jillac coming or not Jullac, sorry,
Speaker 8: dobis coming into the playoffs is that he's very emotional.
Speaker 8: He wears his emotion on his sleeve, and sometimes I've
Speaker 8: always felt that was counterproductive as a goaltender, because sometimes
Speaker 8: you've got to be just calm in the net and
Speaker 8: don't let anything rattle you. He uses his emotion to
Speaker 8: to basically drive him, and I think it's amazing because
Speaker 8: you know, what you see is what you get from him.
Speaker 8: He works hard in the net. I think he's a
Speaker 8: very good goaltender, and you know, always when you're looking
Speaker 8: at the Montreal Canadians are going, yeah, great with him.
Speaker 8: But let's see what Fowler's made of. I think Dobish
Speaker 8: has made everybody go. Let's put Fowler on the back
Speaker 8: burner for now, because he outdueled and Andre Vassilevski, who
Speaker 8: in my mind is the best goaltender on the planet
Speaker 8: the way you build them, and he's going to probably
Speaker 8: win the Vesna this year and Vasilevski wasn't like we
Speaker 8: played poorly. It's just that Montreal was one goal better,
Speaker 8: one bounce better than Tampa, and Tampa's at home today
Speaker 8: and Montreal's playing Buffalo. So do Bush against Alex Lion.
Speaker 8: I guess it'll start with Lion. I wouldn't sleep on him.
Speaker 8: He's been a great goaltender, especially when the chips are down.
Speaker 8: Let's not forget what he did for the Florida Panthers
Speaker 8: to get into the playoffs the year they won their
Speaker 8: first Cup. It was Lion that ended up giving away
Speaker 8: to Bobroski and then Bebroski went on the run. But
Speaker 8: Lion is a he's a gamer, and if he falters,
Speaker 8: they'll go right back to UPL. So evenly matched in
Speaker 8: net of that series.
Speaker 3: Would you agree as we wrap up here, Jamie, that
Speaker 3: the goaltender who did the best job of controlling his
Speaker 3: emotions over the years was Ron Hextall.
Speaker 7: I mean yes, depending on what type of emotions you
Speaker 7: talked about.
Speaker 4: What happened to that?
Speaker 3: That was fun.
Speaker 7: He was my like Hexsey was my first NHL goaltender partner.
Speaker 7: He was my mentor.
Speaker 8: Okay, and you know, I know you're going to pull
Speaker 8: up the clip and say, oh, well, you ended your
Speaker 8: career on a suspension. I wonder if Hexy will put
Speaker 8: that into your mind. I had Ron Hextall as my
Speaker 8: first goalie partner and my first goalie coach was Billy Smith. Wow,
Speaker 8: look at it, and both of them wonderful human beings,
Speaker 8: very intense. Smitty was all about the mind. Mind controlled.
Speaker 8: Everything was between the ears, and with Hexy. Hexy had
Speaker 8: a work ethic that was second to none, and he
Speaker 8: really taught me how to work.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 8: The other thing, if you look at it, Hexy changed
Speaker 8: the game. He revolutionarized handling, and you know, I loved
Speaker 8: his intense intensity. It was a little much even in practice.
Speaker 8: He didn't like getting scored on, so guy would score
Speaker 8: on him. In practice, he'd take the pucket either fire
Speaker 8: it at him or shoot it into the stands. So
Speaker 8: you know, Hexy was a unique guy. To this day,
Speaker 8: I love him and I called him a mentor as
Speaker 8: a player because he's a wonderful human and very relaxed
Speaker 8: off the ice. But you get him anywhere near a
Speaker 8: hockey seven and there's like a switch that goes off,
Speaker 8: and Hexy is intenset it that way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, asked Chris Chelios.
Speaker 7: Thanks for this, Jamie exactly, Thanks for having me, guys.
Speaker 3: You bet, Jamie mcclenan, noodles, TSN. Just one Stanley Cup
Speaker 3: playoff game tonight Minnesota at Colorado Avalanche up. As Jamie mentioned,
Speaker 3: one nothing after that nine to six win in game
Speaker 3: one break Wandling Dog poll question. We'll deal with it next,
Speaker 3: Donnie delay the team one check. Looking for the ultimate
Speaker 3: Vancouver Island getaway. Head to beautiful Parksville and experience the

Speaker 3: eight eight triple three. Your Island adventure starts here. Okay,
Speaker 3: after we read this poll question, we'll get into the
Speaker 3: draft lottery, and maybe you read a submission or two
Speaker 3: on Pierre Durian from the Bay side inbox. Pretty interesting,
Speaker 3: definitely siding one way. A wading Doug poll. Question. Experience
Speaker 3: one of Victoria's iconic destinations. The waddling dog sleep sip
Speaker 3: Stock up Rick all on one legendary spot. Come sit
Speaker 3: and stay at the dog to waddling today.
Speaker 4: Ryan, get her up the waddling dog up pur Pole. Question.
Speaker 4: What would your reaction be if the Canucks oh boy
Speaker 4: named Pierre Dorian GM look at this ninety seven percent.
Speaker 4: I don't think we've had this. I do not think
Speaker 4: we've had a ninety seven to three percent ratio. Ninety
Speaker 4: seven percent and this is an intelligent Alvina was the same,
Speaker 4: This is an intelligent hockey market. Ninety seven Are the
Speaker 4: Canucks watching? Do you know if they're I do have
Speaker 4: a feeling they watch us at the Rogers Rena off.
Speaker 3: Can you tell me all the time, I know they
Speaker 3: watch us. I know they watch us if you're upset
Speaker 3: about something we do. They don't really they don't liket'll
Speaker 3: getting into the tails. They don't like must be watching.
Speaker 4: But they're watching so all you people are Rogers Rena
Speaker 4: watching in your Canucks offices, especially ownership. Look at this
Speaker 4: ninety seven percent thumbs.
Speaker 3: Down down Bayside Ocean Front Resort in Park fill inbox
Speaker 3: from Gavin. Most people I talk to who are done
Speaker 3: with this team if they hire Dorian. Yeah, I'm in
Speaker 3: my forties. You can only take so much and there's
Speaker 3: thirty one other teams to cheer for. I will not
Speaker 3: support this team anymore if he is hired. Chris from
Speaker 3: Burke Mountain hiring Dorian would be the final death blow,
Speaker 3: like an Ucks fan fandom. I don't know if he's
Speaker 3: a Seinfeld fan or not. It would be a complete
Speaker 3: misreading of this market and a fatal decision for the
Speaker 3: future of this franchise. And there's a lot of that,
Speaker 3: a couple of positive submissions, but as you can tell
Speaker 3: by the poll question, not many. Do you want to
Speaker 3: talk about the draft lottery?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: I do. The NHL Draft Lottery goes today four pm
Speaker 3: R time. It's a caucus, New Jersey, all right, So
Speaker 3: there are four We saw this last year. Yeah, for
Speaker 3: the first time before it was the turning of the
Speaker 3: placards and you didn't really get until later on the
Speaker 3: NHL dot com website. You didn't see. You didn't see
Speaker 3: the process they go through, but now they go through
Speaker 3: it live on television. Did that last year, so it
Speaker 3: was interesting. So four balls numbered one to fourteen, there
Speaker 3: are one thousand and one possible four number combinations. Who've
Speaker 3: got this? Canucks have one hundred and eighty five of
Speaker 3: those one thousand and one possible four number combinations. And Rick,
Speaker 3: I know you wanted to go through. Ryan, is each
Speaker 3: of these number combinations and their chances of landing Vancouver
Speaker 3: the number one pick? Go two?
Speaker 4: Things here? Ryan, get the numbers up bigger. I can't
Speaker 4: see that even with the glasses. Second of all, I
Speaker 4: didn't get past grade eight math. Math is not my
Speaker 4: as you guys.
Speaker 3: Know, you said you wanted to go with this.
Speaker 4: Believe me. Math is not good for me and you
Speaker 4: two as well. None of us got past grade twelve.
Speaker 4: We all know it. But right why you got this
Speaker 4: up for this is ridiculous. This is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: It's like you're afraid of this.
Speaker 4: So what is this? These are the odds of the
Speaker 4: Cannucks have to go to this?
Speaker 3: Do you go to the NHL those other websites that
Speaker 3: have this or other Twitter accounts, But NHL dot com
Speaker 3: has every single number combination and who it belongs to. Oh, okay,
Speaker 3: Connucks with one hundred and eighty five number four number
Speaker 3: of combinations like I just talked about.
Speaker 1: One of them, by the way, is one, two, three four.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know, so they crazy. The Cannucks have that.
Speaker 1: The Cannucks have that. Yeah, that's one of the company combinations.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you don't get he's having a real problem
Speaker 3: with saying what am I supposed to do with this?
Speaker 3: We're having fun? Okay, we need too many numbers.
Speaker 4: I throw him for a loop. I didn't think it
Speaker 4: would be this bad. Just too many numbers, too many numbers, Rick,
Speaker 4: you don't have to do this, Okay, Just just so
Speaker 4: you know, I just want to Donnie. If the Vancouver
Speaker 4: Canucks don't get the first O WORLL pick today, I
Speaker 4: will feel so bad for this fan base after what
Speaker 4: they have endured, not only this year but last year
Speaker 4: as well. They deserve it, this fan base, to what
Speaker 4: this team has put this fan base shue. They deserved
Speaker 4: that first overall pick. They don't get it tonight, I
Speaker 4: will feel super bad for the.
Speaker 3: Fans Canucks have had zero luck.
Speaker 4: Well, that's it, that's it.
Speaker 3: At the draft to the lottery, they dropped in order
Speaker 3: four straight times from twenty sixteen to twenty nineteen. And
Speaker 3: we got this piece of video here, Ryan, all right.
Speaker 1: Just at the low light reel, you mean, what's that
Speaker 1: the load light?
Speaker 3: Just a reminder how things have gone for the Canucks
Speaker 3: through the years. At the NHL Draft lottery.
Speaker 9: The number five overall selection in the twenty sixteen NHL
Speaker 9: Draft belongs to the Vancouver Canucks.
Speaker 10: The Vancouver Canucks slide two spots from three to five.
Speaker 2: That means Columbus.
Speaker 9: Number five selection in the twenty seventeen NHL Draft belongs to.
Speaker 10: The Vancouver Canucks, represented by Trevor Lindon. The second consecutive year,
Speaker 10: Vancouver falls back two spots to number five.
Speaker 9: The number seven overall selection in the twenty eighteen NHL
Speaker 9: Draft belongs to the Vancouver Canucks.
Speaker 10: This is the third consecutive draft lottery the Vancouver Canucks
Speaker 10: lose position, falling from six to seven.
Speaker 9: The number ten overall selection in the twenty nineteen NHL
Speaker 9: Draft belongs to the Vancouver Canucks.
Speaker 11: Jim Benning will be hosting the draft June twenty first
Speaker 11: and twenty second at Rogers Arena, solid foundation, Petison Besser,
Speaker 11: all of that, and now the number ten pick as well.
Speaker 3: A couple of things there. Don't send Trevor Lindon ever
Speaker 3: again and number two make sure you pick the right
Speaker 3: here die.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, that was bad. That was bad.
Speaker 3: So four straight times they dropped in again. Nothing has
Speaker 3: gone right for them, but four straight times from twenty
Speaker 3: sixteen to twenty ninenineteen twenty sixteen was they went from
Speaker 3: third to fifth in twenty sixteen and infamously picked only
Speaker 3: you Levy. If they would have stayed at third, the
Speaker 3: thinking is that they would have taken which Columbus did.
Speaker 3: Pierre Luke Dubois, Pierre Luke de Bois was there, and
Speaker 3: then you know twenty eighteen. You know, I say everything
Speaker 3: was awful for the Caducks, but they went from six
Speaker 3: to seventh and got themselves Quinn Hughes, And say what
Speaker 3: you want about the way things have worked out with
Speaker 3: the Quinn Hughes, who, by the way, is leading the
Speaker 3: NHL postseason in points.
Speaker 4: That was a hell of a draft pick with eleven points.
Speaker 4: Quinn Hughes leads everyone in points in the playoffs as
Speaker 4: as I just said, So you didn't say eleven though
Speaker 4: I'd do it eleven points adding adding to your great story.
Speaker 3: All right, So again NHL Draft lottery today, and man,
Speaker 3: it's just there. There's draft parties, draft lottery parties going
Speaker 3: on all over the city and various bars.
Speaker 4: And what do you?
Speaker 3: What are you? How are you going to watch this?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 4: Like I watch everything on my couch. Uh A couple
Speaker 4: of pillows? Uh, remote control? Just stop right there? Okay,
Speaker 4: the pillows? What's wrong? You got you can slippers? Can
Speaker 4: you lie on a couch without pillows? Is it possible?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 4: So I away was backing up with two pillows, not one,
Speaker 4: but two. I will be watching Daniel and Henrick today.
Speaker 4: Bring the Canucks magic. You guys were so negative yesterday
Speaker 4: about Daniel Henrick. Why these guys are I pointed out
Speaker 4: a lot just stopped. Don Look, they don't have a
Speaker 4: first overall pick, they've never picked first overall.
Speaker 3: Fifty are going to be there, So there is there
Speaker 3: is that. All apologies to Trevor and Jim if you're watching,
Speaker 3: but things things didn't didn't work out. I told you
Speaker 3: because Daniel and Hendrick Sean, where were they drafted second
Speaker 3: and third overall. There you go. They don't want that.
Speaker 3: They want to be first overall, people pointed out while done,
Speaker 3: maybe this will complete the try efecta one two three, right,
Speaker 3: it's a caucus.
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, but they don't have a former first overall pick.
Speaker 4: They could trot out there. They've never picked first. I
Speaker 4: do want to say this, don I want to get
Speaker 4: this in. If the Canucks are lucky enough to pick
Speaker 4: first overall today and more than one person has told
Speaker 4: me that Gavin McKenna is ranked number one on the
Speaker 4: Canucks board. There's no offense and butts about it. But
Speaker 4: earlier in the season, I keep for that one. No,
Speaker 4: hold it a second, don to hold it a second?
Speaker 4: Back right up?
Speaker 3: What about this callible?
Speaker 4: Though earlier in the season, Gavin McKenna was not number
Speaker 4: one on the Canucks board. He is now, but he
Speaker 4: was not. He was not on the Canucks number one
Speaker 4: board early in the season. It was what's his name
Speaker 4: Stemberg Steenberg was. But Gavin McKenna has climbed on most
Speaker 4: people's number one, including the Canucks. So if they do
Speaker 4: pick for some pretty uh, I'll be shocked if they
Speaker 4: don't take McKenna.
Speaker 3: His numbers were impressive with Penn State, but boy, his
Speaker 3: numbers had met and hat, I mean he jumped a
Speaker 3: loll here with you the way the NCAA hockey is
Speaker 3: just so good right now. But his highlight reels from medicine,
Speaker 3: hat are amazing. They're amazing.
Speaker 4: Absolute.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay, So Canucks are one of eight NHL teams
Speaker 3: that have never drafted first overall. The other seven only
Speaker 3: only probably the other seven. Only one is in the East,
Speaker 3: and that's the Hurricanes. They've never drafted first overall. It's
Speaker 3: the the Canucks, Ducks, Wild, Predators, Sharks in Flames in Vegas.
Speaker 3: I think I've got I've got that right. The record
Speaker 3: for a team with the most first overall draft picks.
Speaker 3: You know who it is. It's kind of obvious. More
Speaker 3: Montreal Canadians.
Speaker 4: Montreal Canadians and a shout out.
Speaker 3: To Gary Monaghan nineteen sixty three went on to become
Speaker 3: a banker of a Canucks drafted by the Abs first
Speaker 3: overall nineteen sixty three. Gary Monaghan. The answer to a
Speaker 3: great trivia question, first ever NHL draft pick Gary Monahan overall,
Speaker 3: Gary Monahan. The other is Michelle Plas regional Gilafler. Doug Wickenheiser,
Speaker 3: the late Doug Wickanizer, went out to play Giina packs
Speaker 3: and of course you're a slopkowski.
Speaker 4: Remember Gila Flir, you have any one number ten, the locks,
Speaker 4: the blonde hair, Gallivian down the boards and he blasted past.
Speaker 4: It's all we had in the seventies and eighties, was.
Speaker 3: Well that I wasn't asking for a play by just
Speaker 3: stop telling you.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 4: Young guys like Ryan, he doesn't know, he doesn't care
Speaker 4: about Gila. There's no respect, no respect for Gila.
Speaker 3: But with Gila Fleur a lot of people who fall
Speaker 3: hockey for a long long time. We'll talk about Sam
Speaker 3: Pollock being the greatest general manager in National Hockey League history.
Speaker 3: The Habs had the California Golden Seals number one acquired
Speaker 3: in the trade and it was neck and neck and
Speaker 3: they wanted Guilaflir, French Canadian superstar with with Quebec. There
Speaker 3: he is, Rick, there's your.
Speaker 4: Oh, I told you the hair he flied down the
Speaker 4: lafleur shut la maire Cornwaye.
Speaker 3: Continuing the story. Uh he Sam Pollock sent Ralph Bakstrom
Speaker 3: to the Los Angeles Kings to make sure that they
Speaker 3: finished ahead of the California Golden Seals, and lo and
Speaker 3: behold they got the first overall pick at Montreal. California
Speaker 3: finished last and they got themselves. Guiglleflir.
Speaker 4: Who are they playing there? Is that the Russians?
Speaker 3: That's the Cleveland Barons.
Speaker 4: Cleveland.
Speaker 3: Wow, they were the calif They were the California Golden
Speaker 3: Seals went on to become the Cleveland Barons, and then
Speaker 3: they merged with the Minnesota north Stars.
Speaker 4: I did not recognize that.
Speaker 3: You know, they only lasted a couple of years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're the uniform guy. Yeah, but look at that
Speaker 4: beautiful Gila Flur. He simply was the best. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was a strange situation with Gilaflir. I remember watching
Speaker 3: him come to Vancouver for the first time. His first
Speaker 3: three years, he wore a helmet in the National Hockey League,
Speaker 3: got rid of the helmet, didn't wear it anymore, and
Speaker 3: his career took off from there, floated into NHL superstartup
Speaker 3: star was born. NHL Draft lottery today four pm. I
Speaker 3: just can't I can't imagine. I can't imagine what the
Speaker 3: ratings will be like in Vancouver, in the Vancouver market,
Speaker 3: BC market, Connuct Nation Market. All right, Okay, we're good

Speaker 3: on check. Okay, just I had a big ride. The
Speaker 3: Twitter guy Rick Diowall is getting a call from somebody
Speaker 3: in the hockey business, so he'll leave us for this segment.
Speaker 3: It's a call that has to do with the Canucks gmster.
Speaker 3: So you go and do your business right, Yeah, go,
Speaker 3: go go. There's important stuff. Take it easy on those headphones,
Speaker 3: big Rye.
Speaker 1: Okay, we need to talk about this Barry Colt situation.
Speaker 1: You didn't want to. You thought this story was overblown
Speaker 1: actually before the show. But we should we should talk
Speaker 1: about it. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3: You guys built it up like it was. You know,
Speaker 3: rescue just got traded.
Speaker 1: It's pretty weird if you don't know.
Speaker 12: Yesterday Ohl Playoffs the Barry Colts five to nothing Game
Speaker 12: seven win over Brantford the Bulldogs.
Speaker 1: Caleb alters team. So Caleb is out of the.
Speaker 3: Play after very personally a very impressive firstrow.
Speaker 12: So head coach of the Barry Colts, I hope I
Speaker 12: have these names right, Dylan Smoskowitz and star our defenseman
Speaker 12: cash On Atchinson.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think I have it right. Okay, I think
Speaker 1: one for two.
Speaker 12: They took to the podium and were asked a bunch
Speaker 12: of questions from the media, but they weren't willing to
Speaker 12: give many answers. This is how it went down last night.
Speaker 13: Postgame coach, words probably escape you after that one. Maybe
Speaker 13: you can try your best.
Speaker 7: No one cares, work harder?
Speaker 13: Okay, sean big moment for you a goal tonight, hostile environment.
Speaker 13: What can you say about the way your goaltender played
Speaker 13: in that one?
Speaker 7: No one cares? Were questions.
Speaker 9: Can you just contrast why you must have been feeling
Speaker 9: six days ago leaving the arena losing six.
Speaker 3: To one and the way you're feeling down.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a good question. No one cares work harder? Six?
Speaker 1: Game five goes on really good.
Speaker 2: No one cares where hard.
Speaker 4: Cash for it means for you? And Colo says sure
Speaker 4: that I'm over.
Speaker 14: For No, Yeah, no one cares.
Speaker 12: What So that you get the idea. That's how it
Speaker 12: went on. It went on for about a minute a
Speaker 12: minute and twenty. So that's their motto. That's their team motto.
Speaker 12: No one cares where harder. This is Jeff Merrick a
Speaker 12: tweet from him. Apparently the reaction that those those two
Speaker 12: gave was because they were not allowed to bring more
Speaker 12: players to the table with them, to the podium with them.
Speaker 12: The team was told there was enough space and they
Speaker 12: decided to only answer with the Colts motto over and
Speaker 12: over and over again. Now, Jeff has provided a photo
Speaker 12: here of the space that that press conference was that
Speaker 12: took place.
Speaker 1: This is the It was in an auxiliary locker room
Speaker 1: in the building. This is the entirety of that room.
Speaker 1: How are you fitting anybody else in there other than
Speaker 1: the two guys at the podium?
Speaker 3: Well, okay, also like they're getting attention for this, so
Speaker 3: I guess that's good at a really strange in a
Speaker 3: strange way. It's the very cults, and I know that's
Speaker 3: the respect for that organ be happy that reporters are there,
Speaker 3: no kidding, and they're paying attention to you. And let's
Speaker 3: it's just that's a young coach who thinks he's being
Speaker 3: you know, smart uh by doing it's being a smart ass,
Speaker 3: and it's not a good look.
Speaker 12: The guy that asked the first two questions, by the way,
Speaker 12: was the Ohl communications director, and apparently they had words
Speaker 12: after the press conference in the hallway.
Speaker 3: That everybody heard coaching him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he wasn't thrilled with the way that went down.
Speaker 1: It's brutal and you okay, what what what are coaches?
Speaker 3: Very unlikable? They came across. Oh, and what do.
Speaker 1: Teams hate more than anything? Distractions? And your your playoffs
Speaker 1: are going on now because they've won, they're going to
Speaker 1: continue to play and.
Speaker 12: This is now a big distract, a bad luck. Like
Speaker 12: it's just I don't know what you were thinking. You're right, Donny,
Speaker 12: if you thought you were being a smart ass, I'll
Speaker 12: show them.
Speaker 4: You got to be better than that, because you know,
Speaker 4: I'm I'm you know, I'm somebody who might go to
Speaker 4: one of their games.
Speaker 3: I don't know how they're doing it tennis, if I
Speaker 3: see that, and maybe maybe i'm Maybe I'm a little
Speaker 3: bit too on side with the media. I know I am,
Speaker 3: But if i'm if I'm a fan, forget about being
Speaker 3: in the met I'm like, I don't want to support
Speaker 3: these guys because people forget and the Cannucks don't know this.
Speaker 3: The media is the liaison, the connector between yes, the
Speaker 3: team and the fans. You treat people like that, it's
Speaker 3: not a good look. It's a negative.
Speaker 1: It's just it comes across like the organization is looking.
Speaker 1: They're the organizations spokes people.
Speaker 12: And I don't even fault so much the player because
Speaker 12: the coach, he's clearly getting his walking orders.
Speaker 1: The coach probably said this is how we're gonna handle
Speaker 1: I will.
Speaker 3: Say this, those two there came across better than Keith
Speaker 3: Pelly yesterday. Logive him that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, followed from that, I.
Speaker 12: Give it two years max for those three that were
Speaker 12: at the podium yesterday.
Speaker 3: I just think that's about how long Keith Pelly lasted.
Speaker 5: Jobs anyway, Yeah, pretty much leave pretty much just the
Speaker 5: whole thing ripping into Geno Retta and you know Steve
Speaker 5: Simmons incident, and you had.
Speaker 12: The bar full of staffers applauding them. It was just
Speaker 12: the whole thing was just bad.
Speaker 3: Okay, it didn't stream strength that we're headed in the
Speaker 3: right direction. And I got to say, when it comes
Speaker 3: to what we're hearing from the Canucks right now, our
Speaker 3: base side inbox is full of negativity when it comes
Speaker 3: to this pier Durian talk. I we'll get to those.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised at the vandom that we've got today. It's
Speaker 1: a lot.
Speaker 3: Well, I think again, I think it's in relation to
Speaker 3: what we've seen from Toronto. It seems like the same
Speaker 3: thing where you're hiring somebody who who didn't end well
Speaker 3: in another well in other NHL city, and this is
Speaker 3: who you're you've come up with versus Mike Gillis or

Speaker 1: of like the the the entire sport, Like if he
Speaker 1: has been in AGM somewhere.
Speaker 4: Fine.
Speaker 12: Chika basically said, yeah, but I've still been linked to
Speaker 12: the business side of it.
Speaker 1: Okay, you've been evaluating players and all that.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. Just quickly, one other thing.

Speaker 12: Pearce finish the Vancouver Marathon. It happened over the weekend
Speaker 12: time of four hours, thirty five minutes. Pretty impressive in
Speaker 12: twenty five degree weather. These people that do the marathons,
Speaker 12: why I don't enjoy running that much?
Speaker 3: I can't.
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 3: It's a challenge, like a life challenge. I know it's
Speaker 3: for a lot of people. It's a bucket list. I
Speaker 3: get it.
Speaker 12: I feel like you either love running or hate running.
Speaker 12: I don't feel like there's even if.
Speaker 3: You hate it, but you're you know you're hate running,
Speaker 3: but you're physically active. Do you don't want to just
Speaker 3: see if you can do it? I guess you train
Speaker 3: and train for a good one, and then next you
Speaker 3: try and do it better time Like you're actually coming
Speaker 3: down on people who finish a mirror.
Speaker 1: No, I just like I don't love running enough to
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 12: Like our good pout Jason Perez, he's right flying all
Speaker 12: over the globe doing marathons.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's not me.

Speaker 3: All of our guests today, including Craig Button standing by,
Speaker 3: brought to you by our title sponsor Able Auctions dot CA.
Speaker 3: You had to leave on camera during the previous segment.
Speaker 3: What's up? Can you tell us? Well?
Speaker 4: Just let's obviously Pere Dorian is a name that's being
Speaker 4: ban teaed about today and everybody thinks that he's one
Speaker 4: of the leading candidates to be named the GM of
Speaker 4: the Canucks. I just want everyone to know that he
Speaker 4: has not been hired on and he is. It's a
Speaker 4: situation where all the other finalists on the short lists
Speaker 4: have not been told they're out. And but I can
Speaker 4: also tell you that the negative feedback about Dorian has
Speaker 4: hit Rogers Arena like there are there is concern and
Speaker 4: look in our poll question and look at the results
Speaker 4: of our poll. I think a lot of people are
Speaker 4: up in arms and upset that Dorian is a finalist
Speaker 4: and possibly the new GM of the of the Canucks,
Speaker 4: which is out there and a lot of media reports today.
Speaker 3: So that was the phone call that you talk to
Speaker 3: somebody who has heard that the Canucks was hearing that
Speaker 3: the Canucks are getting called sure, and not people into
Speaker 3: media outlets, but to Rodgers Arena saying don't hire Dorian.
Speaker 4: Don't hire our poll. Our poll results tell you the
Speaker 4: tale of what Vancouver's thinking.
Speaker 3: But the fact they're getting calls exactly and emails, et
Speaker 3: cetera is another layer ramon baside inbox there won't be
Speaker 3: a fan base if they hire pure do Craig Button
Speaker 3: joins US now TSN scouting director, former National Hockey League
Speaker 3: general manager. Thanks for doing this, sir, Craig.
Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 14: I am good?
Speaker 15: I guess that aren't press conferences when you announce a
Speaker 15: GM or new coach to be celebratory. I mean, we
Speaker 15: saw what happened in Toronto, and now you're telling me
Speaker 15: that the same thing could happen in Vancouver.
Speaker 3: Oh boy?
Speaker 4: Sure.
Speaker 3: What's what's your reaction to this news that Pierre Dorian
Speaker 3: reportedly has emerged as the front runner for replace Patrick Alvin.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 15: Interesting, I guess that's the word I would leave with you.
Speaker 15: I mean, Pierre has experience working in the league, and certainly,
Speaker 15: you know, when you think about scouting and player personnel background,
Speaker 15: and certainly he has all of those.
Speaker 14: Things in order. But it seems to me, here's here's
Speaker 14: here's my take on it.
Speaker 15: It seems to me that based on what candidates here
Speaker 15: and now, remember Jim Rutherford is hearing things from candidates
Speaker 15: candidates are hearing things from Jim Rutherford, is that certain
Speaker 15: people are ready to accept parameters and and and guy
Speaker 15: and what woul we call him fence posts in terms
Speaker 15: of what they're willing to do and I think that
Speaker 15: that's where other candidates many fall out and say I'm
Speaker 15: not going to do that. Another candidates go, it's not
Speaker 15: a problem for me. So people say, how do you
Speaker 15: end up in this spot? And it's not that Pierre
Speaker 15: is is good or bad. I think we're talking about
Speaker 15: somebody that's kind of you know, has shown that he
Speaker 15: could be good. He's shown that he can't be good.
Speaker 15: But to me, it comes down to what are you
Speaker 15: willing to accept in the role. It sounds to me
Speaker 15: like maybe Pierre is willing to accept parameters that others aren't.
Speaker 3: When you say parameters, Craig, are you talking about somebody
Speaker 3: that is not necessarily a fan of a rebuild who
Speaker 3: might say to ownership that I can do this quickly,
Speaker 3: which we've connect Nation has been down that road before.
Speaker 14: Well, so Brian Burke, who's an excellent manager. You know
Speaker 14: what he did in Vancouver.
Speaker 15: I want to Stanley Kupananaheim, And when Richard Patty hired
Speaker 15: him in Toronto, it wasn't as Brian went in and said, oh,
Speaker 15: by the way, this thing needs to be torn down.
Speaker 14: That's not what Richard Petty wanted to hear.
Speaker 15: And Brian Burke talked about, you know, the Toronto Mapley's
Speaker 15: being the Vatican of the NHL. He wanted the job,
Speaker 15: So what did he do? He wasn't telling him something.
Speaker 15: And don't get me wrong, Brian believed that he could
Speaker 15: turn that around. He looked at it, probably in a
Speaker 15: similar fashion, and he looked at Anaheim and he saw
Speaker 15: the success he had.
Speaker 14: It wasn't false bravado on Brian's part. And then we
Speaker 14: saw what happened.
Speaker 7: What did he do?
Speaker 15: He goes and makes the trade for Kessel, gives up
Speaker 15: a couple of top ten picks, and then we saw
Speaker 15: what happened to the lease over a period of time.
Speaker 15: But it wasn't a false bravado. Brian really thought he
Speaker 15: could do it. I'm not I'm using that example because
Speaker 15: this is more about what Richard Petty wanted. And so
Speaker 15: when the owner or the president wants something and you're
Speaker 15: not providing them with that, you're not getting hired.
Speaker 4: Craig who just you've worked for owners, you've worked for
Speaker 4: people above you. Just who does the hiring in a
Speaker 4: situation like this, like how much does ownership have? How
Speaker 4: much does Jim Rutherford have? We hear there's a guy
Speaker 4: named Michael Doyle. He's involved to uh, Donnie's friend. But anyways, uh,
Speaker 4: who's calling the shot in your eyes in Vancouver? Who's
Speaker 4: got the majority of the same.
Speaker 15: Well, I'd love to be able to tell you and
Speaker 15: give you because I don't know reck they'll be straightforward
Speaker 15: with you. I mean, but there's always there's always people involved,
Speaker 15: and ownership has to be involved.
Speaker 3: If you're a.
Speaker 15: Candidate going in to be to go do a job
Speaker 15: this big and this important, you better be talking to
Speaker 15: ownership and you better be hearing what their thoughts are.
Speaker 15: And again that's where I talk about you know, like
Speaker 15: when I say about parameters, and then to your point, Donnie,
Speaker 15: just how you framed it, I think is a good.
Speaker 14: Way to do it.
Speaker 15: And so you want to hear, hey, listen, like I
Speaker 15: think we should rebuild. Okay, tell me how are you going.
Speaker 3: To do that?
Speaker 14: Okay?
Speaker 15: Well, I'm all on board or no, I like, we
Speaker 15: don't think we can. We don't think that that's the
Speaker 15: right path for us. If you want to go in
Speaker 15: and do the job, you have to understand, you know,
Speaker 15: what ownership's views on the market, on what they're on,
Speaker 15: what they see going forward and how they're gonna deal.
Speaker 15: There's nothing has ever like linear. There's gonna be things
Speaker 15: you do that that can be positive. Then you're gonna
Speaker 15: do some things that might not be as positive, and
Speaker 15: you might have to make some adjustments.
Speaker 14: But if you're not.
Speaker 15: Talking ownership as a candidate, then you're failing yourself.
Speaker 4: Okay, Craig, listen to me. There's a Kamloops kid letting
Speaker 4: the NHL and playoffs and goals, Logan stan Covid. This
Speaker 4: kid is five eight. You know what, the Canucks didn't
Speaker 4: pick them. They took Vanilla Klamovich, who had a pro
Speaker 4: size body at the time. But boy, oh boy, how
Speaker 4: can you not be impressed with Logan stan Covid and
Speaker 4: what he is doing in the playoffs? Greig?
Speaker 15: Yeah, like, I don't think. I don't think there's any
Speaker 15: way you can't be impressed. And bottom line is is
Speaker 15: Logan's a competitor. Logan's been a really good player. But Rick,
Speaker 15: you nailed it. I mean, I can't begin to tell
Speaker 15: you how many scouts take out their tape measure when
Speaker 15: they're evaluating players and they missed the obvious and then
Speaker 15: you know, the taller, bigger player gets every kind of
Speaker 15: benefit and like, yeah, they're not on the same scrutiny,
Speaker 15: and players that might not be as big Cold Cawfield
Speaker 15: went fifteenth, Stan coved and like the fifty goal score
Speaker 15: cold Caffield.
Speaker 14: You look and like everything being equal, you want the
Speaker 14: bigger player.
Speaker 15: Here's the rub Rarely is everything equal. So you're trying
Speaker 15: to find good hockey players. They can't just have a
Speaker 15: team that's all small. But you better not overlook players
Speaker 15: just based on their height. You evaluate and you look
Speaker 15: at but it's as old as time and guess what,
Speaker 15: it's not going to change. You're gonna see this go
Speaker 15: on for years and years and years and years. Pierce,
Speaker 15: the NHL teams don't learn no.
Speaker 4: At one hundred percent, and boy would they like to
Speaker 4: see Logan Steank Covid and Vancouver. Okay, what about John
Speaker 4: Jaca getting the job in Toronto? Your thoughts? What about
Speaker 4: that hire?
Speaker 15: Craig replex confounding everything that goes? Bottom line this the
Speaker 15: guy has zero record of accomplishment. Chaos and uh Arizona.
Speaker 15: I mean, you know what was really fascinating to me.
Speaker 15: Shane Dome works for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Shane
Speaker 15: Dong was effectively run out of the organization by by
Speaker 15: John Jaca and Keith Pelly says he talked to a
Speaker 15: lot of people. I think he could have talked to
Speaker 15: Shane Dong and got a lot of bits. Listen, when
Speaker 15: it comes to people, there's some as good as Shane Dong.
Speaker 14: There's none better.
Speaker 15: And I'm not here just the castas persions on Shane Dong.
Speaker 15: But but that's what happened in Arizona. And this guy
Speaker 15: had no record of accomplishment.
Speaker 4: It was chaos the.
Speaker 14: Way he treated people.
Speaker 15: Okay, maybe he's learned, Okay, good, I'm from Missouri, show me.
Speaker 15: But he will get no benefit of the doubt for me,
Speaker 15: you'll get You'll get evaluated based on on what he
Speaker 15: does and what he doesn't do. And and to think
Speaker 15: that Toronto Maypolice believe that this person is the guy
Speaker 15: that can guide him.
Speaker 14: I'll count me surprised if it happens.
Speaker 3: Would Pierre Duran have been a better choice in Toronto?
Speaker 14: Oh absolutely, you would have been Wow.
Speaker 3: Wow, Keleb Mahultra, Gregny.
Speaker 14: They had Mark Hunter. You know, they had Mark Hunter.
Speaker 15: They had good people that there are so many quality
Speaker 15: there are so many more people qualified to John Jacob,
Speaker 15: Like I said, show me like he's hired. I don't
Speaker 15: need to go on and set h'im surprised. No record
Speaker 15: of the congressment. Like, now, I'll judge you. I'll judge
Speaker 15: you on what you do.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 3: Caleb mahultra out of the playoffs. Now Bradford gets eliminated
Speaker 3: by Barry. Interesting postgame press conference from the Barry Colts.
Speaker 3: I don know if you saw it or not, but
Speaker 3: twenty six points I saw it. Yeah, Oh, twenty six
Speaker 3: points in fifteen games for U, Caleb. If the Canucks
Speaker 3: dropped to number two or three, or maybe they get
Speaker 3: number one. Where's Caleb Maholter in the latest Craigslist. I
Speaker 3: know you haven't published one in the last a week
Speaker 3: or so, but what's happening with his stock?
Speaker 15: Well, he's gonna be I'll tell you when my next
Speaker 15: one comes out, He's probably gonna be five.
Speaker 14: He might end up four. But you know, I think mckennoth,
Speaker 14: Carls and Chase Reid are the top guys.
Speaker 2: I really do.
Speaker 14: I think that.
Speaker 15: But I like, listen, you know, it doesn't mean that
Speaker 15: Maholter is far off of that because he isn't. This
Speaker 15: isn't about trying to go and say, Okay, we're going
Speaker 15: to really take a shot here and we're gonna see
Speaker 15: what somebody can do and take it from there. He's
Speaker 15: a good player, he's a really really good player. Then
Speaker 15: he's a complete player and a great competitor. And I
Speaker 15: think that again, I always believe in put a steak
Speaker 15: in the ground. If you believe that the Caleb Maholt
Speaker 15: is a guy for you, then put a stake in
Speaker 15: the ground and believe in it because he's that good.
Speaker 15: And like you always have numbers beside players. But again,
Speaker 15: when I talk about the players, whether it be Stenberg
Speaker 15: or whether it be Mahulture, whether it be Carls.
Speaker 14: Or Reid, you know there's not that far off.
Speaker 15: And even with McKenna, this isn't Celebreny Schaeffer badars like
Speaker 15: when it comes to McKenna, like, I think he's the
Speaker 15: best player, but we're not talking about like clear cut
Speaker 15: best player.
Speaker 3: Where's John Chaka and your latest to the craigslist, Hey,
Speaker 3: where's Dunnie?
Speaker 4: And Dald's not answering. I hope you don't rip us
Speaker 4: like that. Well, I wasn't.
Speaker 15: I wasn't ripping anything. Tell me what his record of
Speaker 15: accomplishment is. No, you got to talk to I got
Speaker 15: I know so many people that were in that organization
Speaker 15: and that like I'm not talking about like like unsubstantiated
Speaker 15: him and like people learn.
Speaker 14: I'll give him the benefit of.
Speaker 15: The doubt in terms of learning, second opportunity and anything.
Speaker 15: It's the Toronto Mapleas. I'm shocked that they would hire
Speaker 15: John Jacob.
Speaker 3: Okay, we don't talk about what happened in the national
Speaker 3: honkeylegu Glass. Well, by the way, Craig, you're about.
Speaker 14: To how about this, I was gonna say about that
Speaker 14: whole Barry thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wanted to get ask your.
Speaker 15: Leadership horrible goes and acts like that, and you got
Speaker 15: the young kids like doing that.
Speaker 14: Horrible.
Speaker 15: It's disrespectful and like they should all feel a shame
Speaker 15: and it's so disappointing to see that and for the
Speaker 15: coach to.
Speaker 4: Be like that.
Speaker 3: No time, you look like a young guy. Big big mistake, Craig.
Speaker 3: I talk about it all the time. You can say
Speaker 3: what you want about the media. It's the connection the
Speaker 3: Layson between the team and the fans, and that was
Speaker 3: very just their customers that was really disrespectful. I agree
Speaker 3: with you.
Speaker 14: How about this, Donnie? How about this?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 14: And I'll talk about Rogers Communications. They paid over eleven
Speaker 14: billion dollars to put money in the player's pockets. And
Speaker 14: that's how you want to go talk and treat the media.
Speaker 14: Oh okay, you better know where your bread's buttered.
Speaker 3: Craig, lots of passion. We appreci shit it. We'll talk
Speaker 3: to you next week, you sure will.
Speaker 14: I will talk about what's happened in the NHL playoffs.
Speaker 15: Hopefully there's not any more crazy stuff going off in
Speaker 15: front office Highers.
Speaker 4: Oh, we can't promise that.
Speaker 3: Here, I'll tell you absolutely.
Speaker 4: Thanks Craig, see you guys.
Speaker 3: Craig button Uh you hear what he said about the
Speaker 3: situation in Toronto. He take Pierre Dorian, say what you want.
Speaker 3: He's not over John Jacob. Thanks to Craig. Okay, a

Speaker 3: draft lottery. We'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 4: Dog pull, Rick, Ryan, get her up, the waddling dog up,
Speaker 4: pup pull question. I'll tell you right now, this is
Speaker 4: not good, not good. What would your reaction be if
Speaker 4: the Canucks named Pierre Dorian the GM Look at this.
Speaker 4: I don't think we've had a landslide like this in
Speaker 4: a long time. Ninety seven percent say thumbs down, only
Speaker 4: three percent say thumbs up.
Speaker 3: The same ratio as our as our inbox.
Speaker 4: Yeah, our inbox is ninety nine percent negative, ninety nine
Speaker 4: point nine percent negative. I think the only pick that
Speaker 4: would make And Elliott Freeman now has just reported that
Speaker 4: Pierre Dorian is a contender, contender like everybody else. We
Speaker 4: are all hearing today that he's the leading candidate. So
Speaker 4: Elliott just double confirmed that. But Ryan Johnson's sitting there, Donnie,
Speaker 4: Ryan Johnson's been in this organization thirteen fricking years, and
Speaker 4: if you bypass him, his resignation letter to you will
Speaker 4: be thirty seconds after the new guy. You know, you know,
Speaker 4: you basically groomed this guy to have him bypassed by
Speaker 4: this guy.
Speaker 3: But you just said that the ownership is adamant about
Speaker 3: not hiring a first ditch.
Speaker 4: There's concern there. There's concern there about a rookie GM man.
Speaker 4: Do you blame him? Benny rookie GM, Alvin rookie GM.
Speaker 4: That's eleven years. Gillis was a rookie g We can
Speaker 4: go back and find the successful rookie gms and the
Speaker 4: non successful rookie gms in Vancouver the last eleven years,
Speaker 4: there's been non heughes in Montreal, Donny, I could throw
Speaker 4: others out there, you can find them. But in Vancouver
Speaker 4: the last eleven years have been conducted by two rookie gms,
Speaker 4: and maybe so.
Speaker 3: Was Mike Gillis, but they can't use in Montreal, like,
Speaker 3: look what he's doing and that that is somebody who
Speaker 3: is in charge of a team that had a documentary
Speaker 3: out what last season called Rebuild. That that you know
Speaker 3: it's it can work on top of it. It has
Speaker 3: been here GM, GM, he's been the Cannuck's assistant GM.
Speaker 3: You take that for what it's worth. So there is
Speaker 3: experience there. He's the people's choice and they're just ignoring that.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't exactly know why, but I
Speaker 3: do know this, having followed the Knnucks for a long
Speaker 3: long time. They pass on Ryan Johnson. He'll have success
Speaker 3: somewhere else.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a great guy. He's paid his dues right
Speaker 4: here in this city. Want to call the Cup? And Donnie,
Speaker 4: what else? What else do you want to call the Cup?
Speaker 4: Right there? Now you're agreeing with I'm telling you that
Speaker 4: the owner may not want a third straight rookie him.
Speaker 3: He can't. He doesn't make any mistakes. Islanders won. It's
Speaker 3: it's the draft lottery today. Let's focus on that for
Speaker 3: a second. Islanders won, and the Connucks have the best
Speaker 3: to just over twenty five percent have the best chance
Speaker 3: of landing the first overall pick at today's NHL Draft lottery.
Speaker 3: Islanders won last year rick they had a three point
Speaker 3: five percent chance, the tenth best odds and they won
Speaker 3: that tenth spot. Three point five percent now belongs to
Speaker 3: to Nashville. San Jose entered with the best odds last year.
Speaker 3: You imagine Shaeffer and Celebrini right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no kidding, and they did the kid Schaefer just
Speaker 4: an absolute stud and they went from ten to one.
Speaker 4: Can the Canucks just go from just get the first
Speaker 4: overall pick? How hard?
Speaker 3: From one to one? Yeah? I want to mention this
Speaker 3: before you do some business. A group of hockey fans
Speaker 3: have started a campaign to get a statue of Ernie
Speaker 3: Punch McLain outside of Queens Park Arena. My Friend Patrick
Speaker 3: Singing Company press conference Wednesday morning at ten am on
Speaker 3: the wooden floor at Queens Park Arena. It's going to
Speaker 3: be hosted by Ernie Punch for analogy. Okay, you can
Speaker 3: sign a petition and or donate to this cause at
Speaker 3: punch legacy dot com. Punch let the Newest Bruins, the
Speaker 3: four straight Memorial Cup appearances in the seventies. They won
Speaker 3: two Memorial Cups in seventy seven and seventy eight. And
Speaker 3: he's sent over one hundred kids to the National Hockey League,
Speaker 3: and you know, set the chorus for successful lives for
Speaker 3: several junior hockey players, whether they made the National Hockey
Speaker 3: League or not. He should be in the BC Sports
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. But they're trying to get a statue
Speaker 3: of a Punch outside of Queens Park Arena. He's ninety

Speaker 4: Why Ryan? Why?
Speaker 1: Because wild? And as game?
Speaker 4: Do you know who the Canucks passed? Do you know
Speaker 4: the Canucks passed on him?
Speaker 3: Yet we're aware of that.
Speaker 1: If that was the mod I wouldn't have a card
Speaker 1: to use.
Speaker 4: If the Vancouver Canucks took put Colson two picks later,
Speaker 4: they took Boldie five picks later, the Abs took Coffee.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which you thought was you you were down on
Speaker 3: coff Field.
Speaker 4: Why invoke such negative memories?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, to make to make h to make
Speaker 3: you feel better.
Speaker 4: Uh Rick put Coles and worked out for Admonton.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for reminding us.
Speaker 12: I I I am blown away by the inbox today.
Speaker 12: You know what, I like, I'm serious, I'm serious. I
Speaker 12: don't know that we have a supportive message for Peore.
Speaker 3: We do. There's a couple out of seven hundred.
Speaker 12: I was gonna say, I mean it like he hasn't
Speaker 12: even been named, Like this is not even like there's
Speaker 12: no like report that it's imminent.
Speaker 4: Like it's like we've had Yeah, wish said it might
Speaker 4: happen and whatever.
Speaker 12: But rnn, I mean, I this is the the PTSD
Speaker 12: is showing in our inbox today.
Speaker 4: That's what it is.
Speaker 12: I think people people have just jumped off the cliff
Speaker 12: that they were going to do something correct.
Speaker 1: And if they don't do it, man, that's gonna be
Speaker 1: hard for people to tell.
Speaker 4: If they don't pick Dorian because of the media and
Speaker 4: public Uh backlash, Yes, that's bad too. That n Don,
Speaker 4: who's running the team the media and the fans or
Speaker 4: or people in your.
Speaker 3: Building to Rick, Rick, Well, Rick, they're your customers and
Speaker 3: they're not running the team.
Speaker 4: And yeah, they should run the team.
Speaker 3: Don.
Speaker 4: If you run a business, would you want other people
Speaker 4: not involved in decisions?
Speaker 3: Aren't they are, well okay not involved in decision making,
Speaker 3: but they are involved in your business. And if you
Speaker 3: you're hiring somebody and you think it's going to be
Speaker 3: bad for business, and you get that indication through things
Speaker 3: like phone calls and emails and text and watching shows,
Speaker 3: the very least the thought might go through your head.
Speaker 1: To Rick's point, though, fans can be so fickle, Like
Speaker 1: I mean, if Pierre Dorian has had this amazing PowerPoint
Speaker 1: presentation or something, and he's laid out fans.
Speaker 3: What did I say though earlier in the show, though
Speaker 3: I hope they're not, and I think Toronto did this.
Speaker 3: They're hiring somebody because they had a great PowerPoint presentation
Speaker 3: or because they were great during the interview.
Speaker 4: I'm not so sure.
Speaker 3: His Pierre Dorian's records speakst makes me think that's got
Speaker 3: to be the conduction guy versus Mike Gillis or Lawrence
Speaker 3: Gilbot or Ryan Johnson who should be their pick.
Speaker 4: But if he went in and killed it during the interviews,
Speaker 4: he killed it during the interviews, what's right? I mean,
Speaker 4: what's wrong with that? That's why you interview people Donna
Speaker 4: see if they're the right fit. He killed it in
Speaker 4: the interviews, is when I'm told.
Speaker 1: So that's it.
Speaker 3: That's that's all that matters. You don't look at the
Speaker 3: fact that he got in trouble with the league and
Speaker 3: his job with the Ottawa Senators.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what are you gonna say?
Speaker 4: So did John Jake?
Speaker 12: No, But people in second chances do improve, they do
Speaker 12: learn from mistakes from upset with me.
Speaker 4: I'm not but I'm not.
Speaker 12: I'm just saying it's just like it's just yeah, I
Speaker 12: it's it's a lot today. I'm I'm I'm shocked it is.
Speaker 3: But I'm sorry if I think that Ryan Johnson deserves
Speaker 3: a shot at this job, and don't give me this
Speaker 3: rookie GM thing, because I look at the situation of
Speaker 3: Montreal and it's very good. Now he's got hell from
Speaker 3: Jeff Gordon. I understand that hired Shane, don't.
Speaker 1: I also think it's semantics like Ryan Johnson. Sure he
Speaker 1: hasn't been a GM, but how long has he been
Speaker 1: in a GM? How long has he been in charge
Speaker 1: of Abbotsford?
Speaker 12: Like, I mean, yes, he's gonna have more responsibilities, but
Speaker 12: it's not like you're pulling Joe.
Speaker 1: Blow off the street that he's on.
Speaker 12: The experience is playing and you know NHL on Xbox, right,
Speaker 12: he's got a lot of experience.
Speaker 4: If if if it was gonna be Ryan Johnson, it
Speaker 4: would have been the you're right, and if the owner
Speaker 4: wanted I keep being told that Jim Rutherford is trying
Speaker 4: to push Ryan Johnson in, but the owner doesn't want
Speaker 4: Ryan Johnson. If the owner wanted Ryan Johnson, he would
Speaker 4: have been named three weeks ago. That doesn't mean it's right, No,
Speaker 4: he doesn't want Ryan Johnson well, and for whatever reason,
Speaker 4: maybe he wants a veteran guy in there. I don't know, Okay,
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 3: That the poll question results reflect what's happening in our
Speaker 3: bay side and everything is stark. Twitter is Hantip Pierre,
Speaker 3: the poor Guy, Hattie Pierre a during and DTMZ next,
Speaker 3: Tony Dell the team on check.

Speaker 12: talk they were gonna got on the road in Europe,
Speaker 12: and then that got put on the back burner because
Speaker 12: of Keith's health.
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure.

Speaker 4: Store and casino in the with task when Alberta, a
Speaker 4: great community just outside of Edmonton, forty five minutes past
Speaker 4: the international airport. All right, here we go. A third
Speaker 4: round pick of the Devils in nineteen ninety. He did
Speaker 4: not expect to be drafted. He showed up at BC
Speaker 4: placed in a T shirt and faded jeans instead of
Speaker 4: a suit and a tie. Played for the Powell River
Speaker 4: paper Cans back in the day. I think Little Ricky
Speaker 4: was there when he played in eighty nine. I think
Speaker 4: I really was. And then he went to the University
Speaker 4: of North Dakota, won American Hockey League title with Albany,
Speaker 4: won the Stanley Cup with the Devils, and he brought
Speaker 4: it back.
Speaker 3: Where is he from the Powell River? Bad Bombadier?
Speaker 4: Ah, As soon as I said Powell, I knew you
Speaker 4: were gonna get it, I didn't get it. A great
Speaker 4: Powell River Cables, they got it. Great Powell River kid.
Speaker 4: Brad Bombadier, who's still an an NHL executive.
Speaker 3: He's up for the Canucks GM job.
Speaker 4: He should be. He's good. Brad Bambadeir, good.
Speaker 3: Pol Rivers, a better reaction than Pierre Dorian.
Speaker 4: A good Paul River kid, just like Gary Loopol the
Speaker 4: Pol River the producing good NHL players. All Right, here
Speaker 4: we go. This guy was a ninth round pick of
Speaker 4: the Flyers in nineteen ninety four. Drafted out of Sweden,
Speaker 4: this goalie played for Sweden at the two thousand and
Speaker 4: two Winter Olympics, several World championships bounced around NHL teams.
Speaker 4: Was in Manitoba, noticed by Penguins assistant gm Eddie Johnson,
Speaker 4: who says, come on down in Pittsburgh. He outdueled Olive
Speaker 4: Colzig and Dominic Kashchik to get the Penguins to the
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference Final in two thousand.
Speaker 3: Oh, is it is it?
Speaker 1: Dominic?
Speaker 6: He outdueled them, He outdueled They were on the other
Speaker 6: end of the OVA. Okay, weird way to say that,
Speaker 6: but anyway, go on. He made it sound like they
Speaker 6: played yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Are you guys serious? They go, go go anyways. He
Speaker 4: was a backup to Tommy Sallow at the Olympic. Traded
Speaker 4: to the Canucks in two thousand. Head Rise, I knew it.
Speaker 3: As soon as I said Cannucks, you're She just said Moose.
Speaker 4: Said I'm not gonna say Moose because you would have
Speaker 4: got it again. My goal is to make you work
Speaker 4: for it, not gonna be easy clues. All right, here
Speaker 4: we go. This guy was a high pick on the
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen NHL draft London. They won the OHL title. No,
Speaker 4: it's not Mitch my twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: He just brought his name up.
Speaker 4: Is that?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: It's not Mitch Barner.
Speaker 3: It's either only Levy or Matthew.
Speaker 4: That's what you let me finish forty fifth overall by
Speaker 4: the London Knights and the Import Draft two thousand and sixteenth,
Speaker 4: the Memorial Cup and Redgar Canucks were there to watch him. Aye,
Speaker 4: it's only a leve uh Oi Levy the picture of
Speaker 4: him and the dull Dominic has the picture of him
Speaker 4: in Absburg. Yeah, fne on the ice. Travis Greenen was
Speaker 4: the coach. I think that pretty well summed up his
Speaker 4: career at Vancouver.
Speaker 3: Also a candidate for canecs GM.
Speaker 4: Lev who picked him? And anyways, he was hot. This
Speaker 4: guy was a high pick, I'm telling you. In twenty
Speaker 4: sixteen he won a Memorial Cup.
Speaker 3: Also sixteen, Yeah, he won a Memorial.
Speaker 4: Cup MVP of the Memorial Cup HL Player of the
Speaker 4: Year Ohl MVP. The only other player to do it
Speaker 4: in the history of hockey, Wayne Gretzky. He was teammates
Speaker 4: with Christian Divorak and Owen McDonald. They started a business
Speaker 4: called the Mad Feast, The what mod mod Feast? It's
Speaker 4: a business.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: He held a ten game points streak with London, twenty
Speaker 4: nine points in ten games a maple leaf for nine
Speaker 4: years and then he left for Vasis said, no, you win,
Speaker 4: Ole Levy, but Mitch Marner, who got a goal? And
Speaker 4: what do you have last night?
Speaker 3: Nolan assists. He's got seven points in during a four
Speaker 3: game points streak. So much for him not being a
Speaker 3: starting to wake excellent plan performer. You were ripping Marner
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago. So I love watching Marner play.
Speaker 3: I do too his hockey, said, I know he's got flaws,
Speaker 3: but right in his hockey, this reminds me of a
Speaker 3: minor hockey player dominating. I don't know, just something about him.
Speaker 4: And in Red You're at the World Juniors, he dominated that.
Speaker 4: It was a man against kids. He was really good. Anyways, Well,
Speaker 4: then I guess that's why you ripped Mitch Murder.
Speaker 3: Oh. Steve Stevens sixty seven years old. You know he
Speaker 3: is Billy Idol's longtime lead guitarist, and he and Billy
Speaker 3: gonna play us out October nineteen eighty two. Oh man,
Speaker 3: you're pumped about this, right, And Billy's self titled debut album,
Speaker 3: This Is Billy Idol, was Steve Stevens on lead guitar
Speaker 3: and white wedding on check Rock plus roll equals turn
Speaker 3: it up loud on a BC Tuesday morning.
Speaker 4: Is it just next?
Speaker 3: What have you done? The little sister? Who's the three
Speaker 3: foot hot Dogs? Postgame fireworks Friday noonters, and the future
Speaker 3: Toronto Blue Jays right in your backyard. Catch a Vancouver
Speaker 3: Canadians game this summer as they celebrate seventy five years
Speaker 3: at nap Bailey Stadium. For tickets, promotions and more information,
Speaker 3: visit Canadians Baseball dot com or call six oh four eight,
Speaker 3: seven to two, five two, three to two today.
Speaker 8: Is it just me?
Speaker 4: Rick?
Speaker 3: The base side inbox hopping? Lots a lot of comments
Speaker 3: regarding the Canucks possible hiring of Pierre Dorian and a.
Speaker 4: Lot of people uh Donny saying they're out if they
Speaker 4: hire Peerre. Dorian's record with Ottawa was worse than Jim
Speaker 4: Benning and Patrick Alvin's combined. The Canucks will hire him
Speaker 4: for sure?
Speaker 3: Date from Surrey, Peter Puck, Is it just me? The
Speaker 3: Canucks haven't hired three straight rookie gms. We all know
Speaker 3: the last GM was Jim Rutherford, one of the most
Speaker 3: experienced GMS in the league. How is his performance? Peter Puck,
Speaker 3: pointing out that the widespread belief is that it was
Speaker 3: Jim pulling the strings versus obulably.
Speaker 4: Jim's a powerful guy. He's he's GM three teams to Stanley.
Speaker 3: Cups say just sure, how have things gone here?
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty four was fined?
Speaker 3: Uh? Is it's just me?
Speaker 4: But if the Canucks hired Dorian, it's like rolling out
Speaker 4: the same smelly stuff and asking the fan base to
Speaker 4: buy it. No thanks at ed from white Rock.
Speaker 3: Uh, this is Nat from Salmon arm Is it just me?
Speaker 3: I've been a lifelong Canucks fan through the ups and
Speaker 3: mostly downs, But if the Canucks hired Pierre Dorian as
Speaker 3: next GM, I will no longer support this team. I'll
Speaker 3: spend my time, energy and money money on a competently
Speaker 3: run organization like the Carolina Hurricanes or Tampa Bay Lightning.
Speaker 3: Strong words from Nat, not a Pierre Dorian.
Speaker 12: Okay, I'm not gonna say. I'm not gonna say that's
Speaker 12: a liar. But all these people look at We're all
Speaker 12: in it, man. Nobody's jumping off the ship.
Speaker 1: You can see what you want. You're done, never gonna
Speaker 1: watch again.
Speaker 3: Yes, you are well that that reminds me all the respect.
Speaker 3: It's emotional. It is that it reminds me of whenever
Speaker 3: there's a lockout of labor dispute where the way we've
Speaker 3: been treated is fan parts of a season or done with,
Speaker 3: or in the case of you know, four or five,
Speaker 3: an entire soun I'm never watching the NHL again. It's emotional.
Speaker 3: I get that you're people.
Speaker 4: People text us and say I'm never watching Donnie and
Speaker 4: Dolly again. Exactly three days later, they're back exactly the
Speaker 4: same thing at Lisa and Couch and Valley. Please explain
Speaker 4: why the Canucks deserve the number one draft pick. I
Speaker 4: don't think the Canucks deserve the number one draft pick,
Speaker 4: but I do I do feel that the fans in
Speaker 4: the city of Vancouver deserves it for after what this
Speaker 4: team has put this fan base in the last two years. Absolutely,
Speaker 4: the fans deserve it.
Speaker 3: On Dwight, is it just me you should do a
Speaker 3: similar pull to today's based on Ryan Johnson landslide in
Speaker 3: the other direction thumbs up versus thumbs down for Peer Durian,
Speaker 3: people like the popular choice amongst the fan base with
Speaker 3: Ryan Johnson. He's done. But if it was solid job
Speaker 3: and habits for Canucks assistant GM. People forget about that
Speaker 3: as well, and he comes across very very well. He
Speaker 3: comes across as a real leader.
Speaker 4: But Donny, if he was a popular choice up high,
Speaker 4: he'd been hired by now, the fact that they could
Speaker 4: still hire Ryan necessarily, don I'm not hearing a word
Speaker 4: about Ryan Johnson, and all of a sudden, four media
Speaker 4: outlets reporting Dorian is a leading candidate. No, but there's
Speaker 4: reports Ryan Johnson's.
Speaker 3: A smart way to do it would be the to say,
Speaker 3: we've got somebody who we believe is the next GM
Speaker 3: within our organization, but we're gonna do our due diligence
Speaker 3: and see if somebody else will blow us away. And
Speaker 3: maybe that person is is Pierre Durian. I'm not so
Speaker 3: sure it's right, but I'm not so sure about anything
Speaker 3: when it comes to this organization. What do you got?
Speaker 4: All right? As usual? The Canucks doing everything backwards. The
Speaker 4: president's gonna hire a new GM, then step down. They're
Speaker 4: gonna hire a new president who want to pick his
Speaker 4: own GM. Only the Canucks can screw this up. Dave
Speaker 4: and Suriy.
Speaker 3: Jingle Pott, Dave one more? Is it just me? But
Speaker 3: if the Canucks hired Durian and Overlook Johnson. I'll be
Speaker 3: breaking up with the Canucks and Aquilini. My late father
Speaker 3: took me to a game in nineteen seventy. I've stuck
Speaker 3: with this team through lots of hard times, but this
Speaker 3: will be too much again. That said from jingle Pott.
Speaker 3: Dave jingle Putt tells me that Dave's from Nanaimo. Okay,
Speaker 3: we're good. We're w rap up the show. The pull
Speaker 3: question next, don, he told the team on.

Speaker 3: so we're gonna do that so quickly. Waddling dog pull question.
Speaker 4: Rick Ryan got her up the waddling dog pop pole question.
Speaker 4: What would your reaction be if the Canucks named Pierre
Speaker 4: Dorian gim I don't think the Canucks want to see
Speaker 4: this poll, ninety six percent say it comes down. Only
Speaker 4: three four percent say thumbs up. Boil boy, the Canucks
Speaker 4: are watching. That's not good.
Speaker 3: Take a thun Okay Draft Lottery simulator four o'clock the
Speaker 3: actual NHL this this is not binding any of these
Speaker 3: results with this show today, NHL Draft Lottery four o'clock
Speaker 3: today in Secaucus, New Jersey. Rick, you want to lead us.
Speaker 4: Off, Ryan the barrel and top and so Surrey. All
Speaker 4: season ticket holders, get your taut there Eryl, tap and barrel.
Speaker 4: They changed its two minutes from my house. Anyways, I
Speaker 4: got the Canucks is a third pick. Saint Louis second pick.
Speaker 4: Nashville Predators are gonna get Gavin.
Speaker 3: Mckins three point five percent, much like the Islanders last year. Okay,
Speaker 3: my turn, all right, especially to all our season ticket holders,
Speaker 3: or at least some of them. Assemble that Jacob Grady's
Speaker 3: on Hastings and Boundary in East Vancouver, which is interesting
Speaker 3: because it's not there anymore. In a special load to
Speaker 3: Patty Patterson, the little guy going through some tough times
Speaker 3: right now. All right, here we go and with the
Speaker 3: third overall pick, your Vancouver Canucks, second overall pick, moving
Speaker 3: up a spot, the New York Rangers moving up eight
Speaker 3: spots number one, Macklin, Celebrini and the Santas. Oh it's
Speaker 3: gonna have himself a winger to play with.
Speaker 12: Ryan like to say a load to all of our
Speaker 12: business partners and season ticket holders gathered at the Olive
Speaker 12: Garden in Langley.
Speaker 3: Oh you're going.
Speaker 12: Breton Corporate sellout, salad and pasta. This is a sneaky,
Speaker 12: horrific outcome for Kentuck fans that I have here. Okay,
Speaker 12: Toronto third overall, down two positions, the Vancouver Canucks second overall,
Speaker 12: the Saint Louis Blues first overall, the Seattle Kraken.
Speaker 1: Sneaky pain because they take mckennaes right down the I five.
Speaker 1: You're gonna see him all the time. That is sneaky
Speaker 1: amount of pain.
Speaker 4: So you go, there, you go.
Speaker 3: I do have today.
Speaker 12: I do have a little bit of a Canuck update,
Speaker 12: I guess you could say from from Gary Mason front
Speaker 12: of the show. The he tweeted out the Canucks have
Speaker 12: narrow down their GM search to five good candidates. Dorian
Speaker 12: is one, but would be wrong to characterize him in
Speaker 12: any way as a front runner. Ryan Johnson's still in
Speaker 12: the mix as well. I said that early in the show,
Speaker 12: no one's been told they're out. Ryan and Ryan Johnson
Speaker 12: has not been told he's out.
Speaker 3: But the you know, Gary Mason talks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we we also know. Five other media outlets have
Speaker 4: reported that Pierre Dorian is a finalist and he is
Speaker 4: being strongly considered.
Speaker 3: I think I think the Canucks you're watching this show.
Speaker 4: Exactly, bingo. This is their way of reacting to what
Speaker 4: the public and the media are doing one hundred percent,
Speaker 4: So they get there. What do they call these guys? Yuh,
Speaker 4: information guys to pump information.
Speaker 1: Out, that's the name of it. Anyway, did they get
Speaker 1: the hey.
Speaker 4: Damage control, damage control, Derek band name information guys, boom,
Speaker 4: mark it down and pump out information?
Speaker 3: Aaron is south Fann Is it just me? If the
Speaker 3: Canucks lose the lottery, they should draft the defenceman and
Speaker 3: trade heronic for a pile of picks and prospects. Who
Speaker 3: did that Islanders last year? No adoption goes to Montreal.
Speaker 3: They got Matthew Shaeffer.
Speaker 4: Oh, Matthew Schaefer is just he set up that franchise
Speaker 4: for years.
Speaker 3: You already talked about him. I love him.
Speaker 4: He's a best drop picking years. We're good.
Speaker 3: Thanks so much for tuning in, folks. Tomorrow we will
Speaker 3: know where the Canucks will be picking in the first round, well,
Speaker 3: the first pick in the first round at the June
Speaker 3: twenty sixth any chout draft. It'll be exciting. Have a
Speaker 3: great time watching that, but watch check instead and then
Speaker 3: maybe check it out of the internet later on. Again,
Speaker 3: thanks for watching on behalf of right, Derek Rick, everybody
Speaker 3: here at Oh Boy, and check what's on at four o'clock. Jack,
