Speaker 4: gone permanently.

Speaker 5: you guys got a better but your wife's a teacher.
Speaker 5: Our our holiday package, Don, is better than the teachers.
Speaker 5: We get ripped for it all the time. Though.
Speaker 4: It's a good thing for us. It's it's a good thing. Oh,
Speaker 4: we hope people missed us. Where did you go? What
Speaker 4: did you do?
Speaker 5: Just for some reason? I keep going to Toronto every summer.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie to you, Don. I like Toronto.
Speaker 5: It's a nice place. There's Ellie Freeman on the left
Speaker 5: we had and there's our good pal you know, on
Speaker 5: the right side, Mitchell and work for and now he's
Speaker 5: one of the top maple Leafs Scouts. Good pal of
Speaker 5: ours listens to our show every day from Toronto. And
Speaker 5: had breakfast with these two guys.
Speaker 4: Is that all you did in Toronto?
Speaker 5: At a party? I did the party, had breakfast with
Speaker 5: these two. You had a wedding, were Yeah, I was
Speaker 5: wedding anyways, so a lot of golf. But I didn't
Speaker 5: do what you did. And you went overseas, and you
Speaker 5: know what, that was pretty impressive.
Speaker 4: I had a mixed bag when it comes to the holidays.
Speaker 4: And I'll get to the I guess what you call
Speaker 4: the negative part maybe maybe later this week. It's a
Speaker 4: serious subject. But let me talk about the good part
Speaker 4: and the way it started. I went to Europe. I
Speaker 4: went with our members of our my wife and one
Speaker 4: of my kids. We went to went to Europe, Paris, London, Edinburgh,
Speaker 4: which is just I tweeted about this just amazing. So
Speaker 4: this is this is my top of Arthur's seat in
Speaker 4: Edinburgh's Rouse Grind like a hike, maybe not quite as
Speaker 4: difficult as the Grouse Grind, but man, what a city.
Speaker 4: Just it's like going back in time, but you've got
Speaker 4: all the modern amenities. Just I was just my grandfather
Speaker 4: was Scottish, so it meant a lot to me to
Speaker 4: go there. It was fabulous. We also went to Liverpool,
Speaker 4: so the Beatles, where my mother in law grew up,
Speaker 4: as well in Dublin. But the biggest thing about doing this,
Speaker 4: and I don't know if you can relate to this,
Speaker 4: because you you're quite the world traveler I know, is
Speaker 4: that this that was my first trip to Europe, really,
Speaker 4: and so as a result, I am no longer going
Speaker 4: to get euro shamed. If you're at a party, your something,
Speaker 4: you're meeting with a bunch of people, especially when you're
Speaker 4: my age, and you tell them that you haven't been
Speaker 4: to Europe, like alarms go off.
Speaker 5: You haven't been to Europe.
Speaker 4: You have to leave now. Honestly, you know what I'm
Speaker 4: talking about.
Speaker 1: Somebody thinks like some.
Speaker 4: People like my son didn't grow up with you know,
Speaker 4: a lot of money, My parents weren't, we didn't go
Speaker 4: to Europe, and I just never ever found the time
Speaker 4: or had the desire to go. But now you're actually
Speaker 4: I got there. But it was the like I felt
Speaker 4: like I should have been in jail, not going to Europe.
Speaker 4: And so now I've gone, and that's that's and I
Speaker 4: realized there are a lot of other cities, a lot
Speaker 4: of other countries to visit there and other places on
Speaker 4: the planet. But now I'm no longer going to get
Speaker 4: euro shamed, as I call it, And that's a real positive,
Speaker 4: maybe the number one takeaway from my summer. So stop
Speaker 4: the euroshaming. In fact, stop it with me and maybe
Speaker 4: with everybody. Not everybody wants to go to Europe, not
Speaker 4: everybody has the means to go to Europe, So stop
Speaker 4: with the euro shaming.
Speaker 5: Yeah you went to Paris as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, amazing Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 5: You you were the guy.
Speaker 4: This summer, my son and I got off the plane
Speaker 4: and went right up the Eiffel Tower. We walked not
Speaker 4: to the top it was closed, but the second the
Speaker 4: second floor, if you want to call it that. And
Speaker 4: then we did the same thing the last day we
Speaker 4: were there.
Speaker 5: How impressive is that.
Speaker 4: It's just amazing. It's just amazing. A great, great, great feel,
Speaker 4: a great, great time. So the euro shaming is over.
Speaker 5: It's over. You've been there.
Speaker 4: And by the way, we talked about this before the show.
Speaker 4: Everybody talked about you're going to Paris, You're going to France.
Speaker 4: The people aren't very friendly there. Nothing could be further
Speaker 4: from the truth for me. Anyway, they were tremendous. London
Speaker 4: was a beast. My nephew was there. He we toured around,
Speaker 4: you know, we did. We were in a place called
Speaker 4: how long is the show? Two hours? We were in
Speaker 4: a place called Earl's Court. That's where we Earl's Court,
Speaker 4: Earl's Court, Earl's Court. And for you longtime radio listeners
Speaker 4: in Vancouver, people who used to listen to c KNW.
Speaker 4: Maybe still do. There used to be I can't remember
Speaker 4: the name of the host. There used to be a
Speaker 4: silk Till Phil No, that wasn't Phillip Till. Well, Phillip's
Speaker 4: name is not Earl. So there used to be a
Speaker 4: segment called Earl's Court. Anyway, we stayed there. It's like
Speaker 4: a fairly short walk away from Sanford Bridge where Chelsea plays.
Speaker 4: This was this was just ad libbing. We just went there.
Speaker 4: What a tremendous tour we had. Now now Chelsea's my
Speaker 4: new favorite soccer tea.
Speaker 5: You're going to be a tour guide now over there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was tremendous.
Speaker 5: Good for you, Earl Bradford. Earl Bradford, Earl Bradford. Very good.
Speaker 5: Phillip Till Okay, okay, I was thinking Philip Till. I
Speaker 5: know Phillip Till. Phillip Tail is a good.
Speaker 4: Guy, but he didn't host Earl's Court. Oh we did, yeah,
Speaker 4: Branford's that come on from one of our great listeners.
Speaker 1: No, that comes from BC Radiohistory dot com.
Speaker 5: Oh, googling, googling.
Speaker 4: Well, anyway, it's right beside where Chelsea plays. And uh,
Speaker 4: it was just tremendous. And then you had lunch with
Speaker 4: Read and an Elliott in tron the golf Do we
Speaker 4: golf with with Elliott?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: But our buddy there, Clinn Glinn, you know kill Horn
Speaker 5: kill Okay?
Speaker 4: Here? Sure?
Speaker 5: Not in Toronto, Alex Cleinman, Yeah, Cleinman, great, great guy.
Speaker 5: He's my neighbor. He's a good guy. Takes us to
Speaker 5: Morgan Creek.
Speaker 4: All the time. Yeah. How much was it there? Very
Speaker 4: expensive for me and Alex? Okay, We're so happy to
Speaker 4: be back, folks, and we're gonna get right to it here. Jake,
Speaker 4: the Jake Milford Tournament is going on right now. And
Speaker 4: is it hot today in outside?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: I don't get When I came in today, there was
Speaker 4: a little bit of a heat wave in here. I'm
Speaker 4: telling you right now, I don't care how hot it
Speaker 4: is outside. There's no way it's hotter outside that it
Speaker 4: is in here. Right, What did you do with the
Speaker 4: air conditioning?
Speaker 5: I walked in and it was like a heat waved on.
Speaker 5: He just hit us, what's going on?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 1: What's going up? We're having some air conditioning as like
Speaker 1: we're sweating right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is not good for another nine week recently.
Speaker 8: We can play right, because usually you like it to
Speaker 8: be a meat locker in here. Yes, it is like
Speaker 8: minus lockety yeah, but kidding aside, it's I think it's
Speaker 8: like twenty seven to twenty eight degrees.
Speaker 4: At least at least So the Jake Milford Tournament is
Speaker 4: going on right now out at Northview, and we understand
Speaker 4: that some players are being made available to the media,
Speaker 4: So perhaps by the end of the show we'll have
Speaker 4: some audio from some of the Cannuck players who are
Speaker 4: out there golfing. It's a great event at a great
Speaker 4: golf course. Let's get right to it here, because this
Speaker 4: is the subject, and I'm not sure if he's golfing today.
Speaker 4: That the subject of the last two months. When it
Speaker 4: comes to the kodukstatuer, Dempko and the Knucks goal tank situation,
Speaker 4: we all saw what happened in the playoffs. He plays,
Speaker 4: the one game reoccurrence of the knee injury, or at
Speaker 4: least another knee injury, misses the rest of the postseason.
Speaker 4: Archer Selofs takes over and then it turns out he
Speaker 4: has a knee issue. But what's the latest on Thatcher Dempko.
Speaker 5: So Donny the million dollar question is thatcher De Dempko's health.
Speaker 5: We're just going to have to wait and see on
Speaker 5: day one and training camp how active he is. Will
Speaker 5: he be in a group of other goalies or skate
Speaker 5: by himself. Will he be taking shots now? The fact
Speaker 5: he was skating last week was a positive sign, but
Speaker 5: lots of work to do before he's one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: He was not taking shots last week when he was
Speaker 5: on the ice. Skated twice last week. He is golfing,
Speaker 5: which I presumed.
Speaker 4: Dot today he's golfing.
Speaker 5: Not today, but somebody said they saw him golfing last week,
Speaker 5: which I think is a good sign.
Speaker 4: Who's somebody that's on I'm telling you the people.
Speaker 5: He was golfing at the tournament that Caducks Red Hamilton
Speaker 5: Red Hamilton tournament. So some people are saying that, which
Speaker 5: I think is a good sign. He's being more active
Speaker 5: preseason game's done and the regular season opener. Not sure
Speaker 5: about that right now for demp Goo. But here's the thing.
Speaker 5: Why rush this? He's just starting goaltender, He's coming off
Speaker 5: back to back knee injuries. There are some who feel
Speaker 5: he was rushed last year to play in the playoffs.
Speaker 5: Don did Dempko have a medical procedure this summer. Some
Speaker 5: think he had his knees scope, but no one's confirming that.
Speaker 5: I've been told this on demp Go. He's making progress.
Speaker 5: It is slow and it is steady. That's the best
Speaker 5: way to describe it.
Speaker 4: Why would they be so quiet when it comes to
Speaker 4: a procedure.
Speaker 5: Because then we are in Vancouver, there's a hot Canadian market.
Speaker 5: Whether he had the procedure or not, then everybody freaks out.
Speaker 4: Everybody's freaking out now because they're not disclosing any information.
Speaker 5: His rehab was a lot slower in mid August, but
Speaker 5: the fact he hit the ice, and by the way
Speaker 5: he hit the ice last Tuesday morning before twenty Knuck
Speaker 5: players hit the ece, Ian Clark was on the ice
Speaker 5: with him. So look, it's wait and see, as Jim
Speaker 5: Rutherford said last week, wait for the medicals, wait to
Speaker 5: see him on first day. I think he'll do some
Speaker 5: work on the ice, but I'm not so sure he'll
Speaker 5: do it with other goaltenders do. I don't know if
Speaker 5: he's there yet. I know he's not ready to take
Speaker 5: shots yet. That's a big thing, going up and down
Speaker 5: on your knees for a goaltender. Not there yet a
Speaker 5: side to side. I think he's okay, but there's there's
Speaker 5: just a lot of work to do before he is
Speaker 5: the old thatcher demp.
Speaker 4: Go September nineteenth in Penticton. That's when training camp opens
Speaker 4: for the Vancouver Canucks. So was he not handled well, like, Okay,
Speaker 4: let me make rush, let me go back he rushed.
Speaker 5: I think he was.
Speaker 4: Clark has been reassigned within the organization. They have a
Speaker 4: new goaltending coach right, but Ian Clark is still there.
Speaker 4: Arthur Selofs also with a knee. Is is when when
Speaker 4: he and I'm going to ask this, but with with
Speaker 4: Ian Clark, I mean, is that a punishment that he
Speaker 4: gets reassigned the organization or doesn't have to do with
Speaker 4: what everybody's heard his own health?
Speaker 5: Ian Clark went to the Canucks. The Canucks didn't go
Speaker 5: to Ian Clark. Ian Clark went to the Canucks and said,
Speaker 5: I've got issues with my knee and my shoulder. I
Speaker 5: don't want to do the on ice uh every day
Speaker 5: with the goaltender. So that was Ian Clark. The Canucks
Speaker 5: did not push him out. He's got two years left
Speaker 5: on his contract. I don't think he wanted to become
Speaker 5: a scout. I think he wanted a higher role, you know,
Speaker 5: than being than being relegated to a scout. But I
Speaker 5: do believe that that that had none to do with
Speaker 5: the Canucks. That was Ian Clark that went to them
Speaker 5: and said, hey, I need to back off on going
Speaker 5: on the ice so much. Is he getting some of
Speaker 5: the blamed you know, yes, yes, there's people that believe
Speaker 5: that Dempko was pushed too hard to come back in
Speaker 5: the first game in Nashville, and he gets hurt first
Speaker 5: game against Nashville, So yeah, there there's there's feelings out
Speaker 5: there that he's been rushed and if feelings over the
Speaker 5: years he's been overplayed in Vancouver. You know, now the
Speaker 5: Canucks if they let Casey de Smith go, and I
Speaker 5: think that was a mistake, and then that's why they're
Speaker 5: out there trying to get another backup goaltender right now,
Speaker 5: don And you know, whether they get him or not,
Speaker 5: I don't know. But if they would have just got
Speaker 5: Casey to Smith done again, they wouldn't be in the
Speaker 5: pickle they are today. I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 4: What was clearly the wrong decision, and it's easy for
Speaker 4: me to say it right now, easy for anybody to
Speaker 4: say hindsight is twenty twenty because they win. They start
Speaker 4: with Demko and they end up winning the series with
Speaker 4: the Smith and then eventually Arthur's selanoffs came in. So
Speaker 4: had they started with one of those two other goaltenders
Speaker 4: other than Demko, you think they'd still win when the series,
Speaker 4: and Demko might not have hurt himself.
Speaker 5: Now, they don't want to pay much for a backup goaltender.
Speaker 5: They're trying to do what they did with Spencer Martin
Speaker 5: and that didn't work, is pay a goaltender less than
Speaker 5: a million dollars to be the backup. Didn't work last
Speaker 5: night last time, and they want to try it again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they have though eurepitter uh yep, two years,
Speaker 4: a two way deal the goaltenders though that they might
Speaker 4: be interested in right now that could be available or
Speaker 4: are available.
Speaker 5: So the Canucks are still pursuing UFA goaltender Kevin Lancann
Speaker 5: and the Canucks have made him an offer. It's under
Speaker 5: one million dollars in Nashville.
Speaker 4: Guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so the Canucks offer is under a million dollars.
Speaker 5: It's not good enough because lanclan and made two million
Speaker 5: last year in Nashville. He's not going to take under
Speaker 5: a million. The Canucks don't want to spend much money
Speaker 5: on the backup. They don't want to put Tucker Pluman
Speaker 5: on LTI R Donnie to get the goalie. They want
Speaker 5: to keep that money for the trade deadline. One more guy.
Speaker 5: Canucks have called the agent for UFA goaltender Anti Ranta.
Speaker 5: They offered a PTO, but that's not what the player
Speaker 5: is looking for right now. I think he's looking for
Speaker 5: a contract. But those things can change as the pressure
Speaker 5: points come up for all these UFAs without deals done.
Speaker 5: Training camp around the corner. But right now Anti Ranta
Speaker 5: has told the Canucks that he does not want to
Speaker 5: as of right now, does not want to accept it PTO.
Speaker 4: All sorts of items to deal with in today's show,
Speaker 4: A lot to do with the Canox. We want to
Speaker 4: talk about brock Besser's situation, of course, missing part of
Speaker 4: the playoffs last year, the blood clotting issues, Daniel Spraung,
Speaker 4: a signing that took place after we left for holidays,
Speaker 4: Sammy Blaze facility put Coles and goes to Admonton. So
Speaker 4: let's you know, we'll do that as the as they
Speaker 4: maybe in the next segment. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 4: we also want to talk about what the BC Lions
Speaker 4: have been up to that event in Victoria. And I
Speaker 4: know they won a big game last week in Montreal
Speaker 4: against the very good Alouette's team, but that event in Victoria,
Speaker 4: touchdown Pacific looked just absolutely trying to know. There were
Speaker 4: some issues with lineups for beer. There always seems to
Speaker 4: wash something in washing them. There always seems to be
Speaker 4: issues with that. And they know that and next time
Speaker 4: around that they hope that won't happen. But the way
Speaker 4: it looked on television and everybody I know that that
Speaker 4: went had just a fabulous time.
Speaker 5: City you want Victoria, what a great job. Boy did
Speaker 5: they ever do a great job. And now the lines
Speaker 5: you're going to have to do this again because of
Speaker 5: the World Cup. I don't know if they're going Donnie
Speaker 5: back to Victoria, maybe Kelowna, I don't know, but they
Speaker 5: have now got a decision to make. But they do
Speaker 5: now know the Lions that going to these smaller communities
Speaker 5: it can work. The only thing that sucks is at
Speaker 5: attend it's fourteen thousand. If you can get which was
Speaker 5: a seller. Well, if you can get if you can
Speaker 5: push up the attendance to twenty twenty five in some
Speaker 5: of these smaller communities, it would be massive, massive.
Speaker 4: Ryan has some information on the white Caps played to
Speaker 4: a scroll to draw against Dallas on Saturday. That's later
Speaker 4: on on the show. Here's what else is coming up
Speaker 4: and again, so happy to be back, folks. Is it

Speaker 6: Help whole question waddling dog pole question.
Speaker 4: Visit one of Victoria's favorite pubs where you can enjoy
Speaker 4: twenty caps and twenty screens. You're home for the Canucks
Speaker 4: and UFC. Come sit and stay at the Dog today
Speaker 4: Pole question Rick. It has to do with the subject
Speaker 4: we tackled in our first segment.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Ryan, get her up. I'm gonna say it for
Speaker 5: the first time.
Speaker 4: Get her up.
Speaker 5: Our waddling dog pup pole question. Is that your Demko's
Speaker 5: durability the Canucks number one concern heading into the season.
Speaker 5: It's well, it's not fifty to fifty. It's it tells
Speaker 5: you exactly how important the story is. A ninety one
Speaker 5: percent say yeah, his durability is a concern right now.
Speaker 5: He's coming off back to back knee injuries, Donnie, and
Speaker 5: he's not ready. You know, we don't know if he's
Speaker 5: going to be ready for the regular season opener. It's
Speaker 5: up in the air. It is definitely a concern.
Speaker 4: Well, this is a team that I think a lot
Speaker 4: of people and look, we read things on the internet,
Speaker 4: we hear things on you know, the NHL network. A
Speaker 4: lot of people think the Canucks can really make some
Speaker 4: noise and after the progress they made last season, they've
Speaker 4: got a Vesnat Trophy finalist absolutely on their roster and
Speaker 4: his health as a concern, of course, And you know,
Speaker 4: I for some reason I thought that the poll wouldn't
Speaker 4: be that one sided. But you know, you second thought,
Speaker 4: obviously this is the number one concern. You've got this
Speaker 4: stud in goal, and you don't know if he's going
Speaker 4: to be completely healthy to start the season, and you
Speaker 4: don't know how healthy is going to be when you
Speaker 4: look at the entire season. Of course, it's a huge concern.
Speaker 5: And people don't realize, like the stories out there are
Speaker 5: that the Canucks are looking for a PTO goaltender. But
Speaker 5: what people don't realize they have made an offer to
Speaker 5: Kevin Lancan And if Lancannon wakes up tomorrow don and
Speaker 5: says okay, I'll accept the Canucks offer, then what so
Speaker 5: what happens in he comes in? You bumped Sea Logs
Speaker 5: to Absburg and now you got a logjam there. You
Speaker 5: got three goaltenders in Absberg. Yeah, the preference is to
Speaker 5: have a PTO. But you got to remember that they
Speaker 5: made an offer and they've been after lanc and for
Speaker 5: a while. He's their number one target. There's no question
Speaker 5: in my mind.
Speaker 4: So he would be well, I see he'd be looking
Speaker 4: for a one year probably a one way deal, so
Speaker 4: he's not going down to Atbmsford. But how does Sea
Speaker 4: Loovs take that? Well, after being pretty impressive last season,
Speaker 4: well just in the playoffs.
Speaker 5: Hey, you're you're the king of telling me this. How
Speaker 5: does Vernon Adams feel right now? You know? Uh, Nathan
Speaker 5: Rourke comes in and that's business.
Speaker 4: I guess it's business.
Speaker 5: It's business, and pro sports is all.
Speaker 4: That much better than Archer Sea Loofs.
Speaker 5: I think experienced made two million last year and he
Speaker 5: had a really he's had two really good years in Nashville. Uh,
Speaker 5: lancoln and has, so we'll see how that ends up.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you'll ever accept the Vancouver offer,
Speaker 5: but it's there for him.
Speaker 4: What's more likely Lancolnan or Anti Ranta or who's more
Speaker 4: likely to come to Vancouver?
Speaker 5: Time will tell well, I can't handicap it, Lincoln, what's
Speaker 5: your gut feeling. So my gut feeling is they really
Speaker 5: like Lanc and they really want him.
Speaker 4: But why is that a bad question?
Speaker 5: It's not a bad question. I didn't say it was
Speaker 5: a bad question. What I said was I don't have
Speaker 5: a good read on this. As you get closer to camp,
Speaker 5: these guys are gonna have to what's your saying, don
Speaker 5: get off the you know, uh, you know what it is,
Speaker 5: but anyways, get off. Yeah, that's it, that's the saying.
Speaker 5: Because listen, training caps coming. These guys either have to
Speaker 5: accept the PTOs or they have to accept contracts.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, they've got the Terra who's on a two way deal.
Speaker 5: Petera's on a two ways. They got Tolapilo. Don't forget
Speaker 5: Tolapilo too.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of goalies there they got. I think
Speaker 4: they've got enough. But all this will we will go
Speaker 4: by the wayside, if thattor Dempko is is healthy. Okay,
Speaker 4: what about the what you talk to a lot of people,
Speaker 4: what about the thought that Thatcher deampco is is fragile?
Speaker 4: You know, he's injury prone.
Speaker 5: Well he back to back, Donnie, what do you want?
Speaker 5: What do you want us to say? He gets hurt
Speaker 5: at the end of the year, they bring him back
Speaker 5: for the playoffs first game, gets hurt again. I mean,
Speaker 5: you know you hope, yeah, you were hoping that this
Speaker 5: summer he just had a really good rehab, got working
Speaker 5: training and everything. It looks like rehab this summer was
Speaker 5: a lot slower than everybody expected, and now he's coming
Speaker 5: back slow.
Speaker 4: There is probably well that's probably a good idea, maybe
Speaker 4: one that they probably would have been a good idea
Speaker 4: on the spring. Yeah right, yeah, So why push when
Speaker 4: they were playing so Donny?
Speaker 5: Why push him?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 5: Just get the guy because.
Speaker 4: You learned from your mistakes from yeah right, yes, yes,
Speaker 4: brock Besser, what's happening there?
Speaker 5: Oh boy, brock Bester's the UFA. Where's that? You got
Speaker 5: the clip out right? I wanted to show that from strang.
Speaker 1: This is two tweets.
Speaker 8: As Donnie mentioned, Jake Milford golf tournament happening in Northview
Speaker 8: in Fleetwood today, So the players are speaking of the media.
Speaker 1: This is two separate tweets. You want to just read it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you go ahead, Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 8: This is from Brock bess First of all, he's off
Speaker 8: blood thinners and has resumed contact training.
Speaker 1: It will be a situation and monitor throughout the season.
Speaker 1: The forward says that he will need to be careful
Speaker 1: on flights this year, can wear compression gear and use
Speaker 1: Norma Tech to help. I don't know what Norma tech
Speaker 1: is anyway.
Speaker 4: Which Norma tech, Donny, I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 5: We're gonna our best.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: It's it's it's it got something to do with gear,
Speaker 5: Norma tech. Maybe I didn't stop guessing.
Speaker 8: How about the other thing is about his contract. The
Speaker 8: other piece of bas is about his contract. That's the
Speaker 8: tweet at the top. Besser says he's going to let
Speaker 8: the contract negotiations with the Caducks play out as he
Speaker 8: enters the final year of his deal. Here's the quote,
Speaker 8: coming off the blood clot. I think I got a
Speaker 8: lot to prove. Of course, brocket a great I mean fantastic.
Speaker 5: Not only the forty goals, but he had seven more
Speaker 5: in the playoffs, and I believe he scored four after
Speaker 5: he broke his finger in Game three in Nashville and
Speaker 5: in the practice where Miller hit him with a shot.
Speaker 5: Look at there was no track talks between the Canucks
Speaker 5: and Besser this summer. Here's the deal with Besser. Forty goals,
Speaker 5: last year, top playoff performer. He's got good numbers, UFA.
Speaker 5: At the end of the year, it is very, very dangerous,
Speaker 5: Don If the Canucks are gonna wait and they're gonna
Speaker 5: wait and wait on Besser, I don't have a problem
Speaker 5: with them wait until Christmas and saying, okay, are you
Speaker 5: gonna score forty again before we give you seven to
Speaker 5: seven and a half and eight. But the longer this
Speaker 5: goes and the longer it goes, it and if he
Speaker 5: continues to light light it up with goals, he'll get
Speaker 5: over eight million. And the other one for you, Don
Speaker 5: is they also need to know. The Canucks need to
Speaker 5: know where Lakara Mackie is. Is he close? Is he
Speaker 5: close to getting you know? Can he do it this
Speaker 5: year or show signs to being there next year? I
Speaker 5: really believe that the Canucks would really like to get
Speaker 5: a good grasp on knowing where Lakara Macki is before
Speaker 5: they go and you know, give a long term deal the.
Speaker 4: Best because we've said on the show before when you
Speaker 4: look at Lakara Mackie, a right handed winger that's with
Speaker 4: a pretty good shot, he seems like somebody who could
Speaker 4: fill the brock Besterer role. So maybe you don't want it.
Speaker 4: Maybe you don't want to be redundant, right, So why
Speaker 4: give Besser a whole bunch of even though we got
Speaker 4: forty goals last year, there's a whole lot of respect.
Speaker 4: They're given everything he's gone through. Do you want two
Speaker 4: of them? Right? So if Lakara Maki shows promise, obviously
Speaker 4: that could weigh way into things. By the way, Norma
Speaker 4: tech compression therapy products and you look at a lot
Speaker 4: of these things, it looks like something out of RoboCop.
Speaker 5: Right, hold this, you gotta wear that whole thing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have these on right now, Dolly wall So
Speaker 1: you tell us how this is.
Speaker 4: But you don't have any blood cltting just like the
Speaker 4: way they look.
Speaker 5: Can you tell me what this is?
Speaker 4: This just set compression therapy products.
Speaker 5: So you sit in it and you push your button
Speaker 5: into what happened?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess you put it on one boot at
Speaker 4: a time.
Speaker 8: I think it's essentially a hyperbaric chamber kind of idea
Speaker 8: that you wear, right, but.
Speaker 5: You're not telling us what it does.
Speaker 1: It's all about it's.
Speaker 4: All about prevention of blood clot.
Speaker 5: It's probably about moving your blood nerve probably heated and
Speaker 5: stuff like that.
Speaker 1: We've done a great job explaining it that I could
Speaker 1: say for sure.
Speaker 4: Well, at least I thought it would have been pills.
Speaker 4: We've gone past that. Okay, anything else on Bester, No,
Speaker 4: you want to see him stay, don't you? Absolutely as
Speaker 4: a cannock fan, I know it's business. I get all that,
Speaker 4: but he can't everyone who is so popular.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 4: But he gave my kid a stick.
Speaker 1: See, this is what it always comes down to.
Speaker 4: Something.
Speaker 8: You know, you don't like Pederson because the way he looks,
Speaker 8: he looks good.
Speaker 1: You don't like him.
Speaker 4: You're brought a good looking guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he gave your kid a stick, so that
Speaker 1: drumps everything. He could be the hit most hideout.
Speaker 5: And by the way, by.
Speaker 4: The way, it was one of those things where, oh
Speaker 4: you your kid got one because you're a member of
Speaker 4: the media. No, my kid was just that a warm
Speaker 4: up had a sign best game stick.
Speaker 10: No.
Speaker 8: The interesting thing is you actually said to Brock, Hey,
Speaker 8: you know who I am and brockwn No, I don't.
Speaker 4: Well, it's most of the people in.
Speaker 5: You haven't said eleven point five yet. I'm very impressed.
Speaker 4: Eleven six.
Speaker 5: Actually yeah, is it eleven six or eleven five?
Speaker 4: Eleven six? We'll get to that. I'm sure zero goals
Speaker 4: in December. It'll happen. Oh, just kidding, that's not going
Speaker 4: to happen. Okay, up next, Well, first of all, Elliott

Speaker 4: As that we bring in from the Ross Tucker Football Podcast,
Speaker 4: CBS Sports and Westwood One. He worked the bills in
Speaker 4: Cardinal Sunday in Buffalo. Our friend, Ross Tucker, Long time,
Speaker 4: No talk to you, Ross, How are you, sir?
Speaker 3: Awesome? How are you guys doing? Nice to see you,
Speaker 3: Nice to talk with you it's been a while.
Speaker 5: Yeah, nice to see you.
Speaker 4: Right back at you. How are you? How is your
Speaker 4: annual ski trip?
Speaker 3: I am fantastic.
Speaker 7: The ski trip was wild because it was I think
Speaker 7: I went to the math right. I think it was
Speaker 7: thirteen straight days of skiing and I held up pretty well,
Speaker 7: I would say till like day ten or eleven, and
Speaker 7: then I had some pretty bad patella tennanis and I
Speaker 7: just kept skiing.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 7: I'm like a bell to bell guy, right, so right
Speaker 7: when they open it, I'm there.
Speaker 3: I ski all day until it's closed.
Speaker 7: Then I go and I have a terrific app ray
Speaker 7: ski and meal, and then I go to bed. Like
Speaker 7: I go to bed early, I believe it or not.
Speaker 7: I actually work out in the morning.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Wow, ski all day.
Speaker 7: So I think I did five days in Bail with
Speaker 7: my high school buddies, including half a day Sunday morning
Speaker 7: before I flew to Utah.
Speaker 3: Did was it like eight days in Utah? Which was
Speaker 3: it was awesome?
Speaker 7: The answer is it was awesome, But I've had to
Speaker 7: do like some rehab and stretches ever since, because evidently
Speaker 7: that's a lot on your quads to ski at two
Speaker 7: hundred and sixty pounds for thirteen straight days, for seven
Speaker 7: hours every day.
Speaker 4: All that a physical activity explains why you're looking so
Speaker 4: good and sounding so good. Yesterday Bills and Cardinals. Bills
Speaker 4: end up winning that game thirty four to twenty eight.
Speaker 4: That had to come back to do that.
Speaker 1: Where are they at?
Speaker 4: Where Where's Josh Allen at? Where are the Bills at
Speaker 4: as a team that might contend for a Super Bowl?
Speaker 3: I think there's pretty much where they have been. I
Speaker 3: really do.
Speaker 7: I mean, I know they don't have Stefan Diggs anymore,
Speaker 7: but I think they still have enough at receiver. You know,
Speaker 7: Khalil Shakir was highly efficient last year, and he made
Speaker 7: some impressive plays yesterday. I mean the one touchdown where
Speaker 7: he kind of like corkscrewed his body in h had
Speaker 7: another catch critical play where he bounced off with defender.
Speaker 7: Shaki has some unique ability. They really have something there
Speaker 7: with Khalil Shakir. And then I think the offensive line
Speaker 7: fight The defense is a little bit more concerning right
Speaker 7: because Matt Milano is.
Speaker 3: Out for a while. They've got two new safeties.
Speaker 7: And then the thing to keep an eye on is
Speaker 7: Tarren Johnson, their nickelback who went out early in the
Speaker 7: game yesterday. He's arguably the best nickel in the league,
Speaker 7: so to not have him that would be a huge loss.
Speaker 7: I mean, you can argue that tarn Johnson and Matt
Speaker 7: Milano are their two best defensive players, so that would
Speaker 7: be big. But Josh Allen is just so fun to watch.
Speaker 7: I mean, we got the whole experience, right, We got
Speaker 7: the two rushing touchdowns, two passing touchdowns. I guess I
Speaker 7: read somewhere where he's done that four times now. Nobody
Speaker 7: else has ever done that, which is cool. He was
Speaker 7: like flying through the air, but he also had a fumble.
Speaker 7: I mean, that's the Josh Allen experience.
Speaker 5: Hey, Ross, Tyreek Hill, My goodness, s Git's detained released
Speaker 5: by the police on his way to the game. You
Speaker 5: know he's dealing with that. Then he gets in the game,
Speaker 5: eighty yard touchdowne hundred and thirty yards receiving. I can't
Speaker 5: imagine what was going through his head. It's hard enough
Speaker 5: to prepare for an NFL game, Ross without going through
Speaker 5: what he did. Were you surprised he did as well
Speaker 5: as he did?
Speaker 3: No, not really.
Speaker 7: I mean he's an unbelievable player. He had done everything
Speaker 7: during the week to prepare for the game. I guess
Speaker 7: I'm more curious about hearing.
Speaker 3: About just how long he was detained.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And the thing that's troubling to me about that is,
Speaker 7: you know, Tyreek Hill has a history, and people can
Speaker 7: whatever they want about Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 3: Based on the history. That's fine.
Speaker 7: Kalaius Campbell also has a history and and and that
Speaker 7: history is being the Walter Payton Man of the Year
Speaker 7: in the NFL. And evidently he said after the game
Speaker 7: that he was handcuffed as well when he came and
Speaker 7: saw Tyreek Hill and he tried to de escalate the situation,
Speaker 7: he got handcuffed as well. That is that is concerning
Speaker 7: to me. I don't know what the process is there.
Speaker 7: Maybe that's just standard operating procedure if someone's coming comes
Speaker 7: over while someone else is being detained. I don't know,
Speaker 7: but uh, it sounded like those guys all had, you know, uh,
Speaker 7: cameras on body cam. So I think I think there'll
Speaker 7: be a lot more information coming out because I'm the
Speaker 7: Kalaiis Campbell parts. The one that especially troubles me.
Speaker 5: Hey, Russ the Seahawks and not a great first half,
Speaker 5: good second half, Yeah, you got the new head coach,
Speaker 5: Mike mcdonnald, new coordinators, the whole nine yards. Well, what
Speaker 5: are your views on this team? Talk a little bit
Speaker 5: about the win over Denver, but what do you like
Speaker 5: about their offseason moves and what they can do this year?
Speaker 7: I think the Seahawks are pretty much It's funny because
Speaker 7: I don't know. I mean, there's teams I won't say
Speaker 7: this about, but there's a bunch of teams that I
Speaker 7: feel like in Week one, at least, you know, to
Speaker 7: use the Dennis Green line, they are who we thought
Speaker 7: they were, you know, I mean the Seahawks offensive line
Speaker 7: had its struggles. We saw that with the two safeties,
Speaker 7: but then credit to those guys. They run blocked better
Speaker 7: in the second half for Kenneth Walker. We know they've
Speaker 7: got good receivers. Gino Smith had that nice long run.
Speaker 7: That's part of his game. I feel like that's a
Speaker 7: little bit underrated and he deserves some credit for his
Speaker 7: ability to make some plays with his legs. And I
Speaker 7: think the defense is kind of just okay. You know,
Speaker 7: they were able to turn over Bonix a couple times.
Speaker 3: He struggled when he's driving the ball down the field.
Speaker 7: I think the Seahawks are a league average team would
Speaker 7: be my guest. The question is now whether Gino Smith
Speaker 7: and can make enough plays and the head coach, Mike
Speaker 7: McDonald can do enough to get them the nine or
Speaker 7: ten wins so that they're in the mix of going
Speaker 7: to the postseason as opposed to seven or eight wins,
Speaker 7: because I think they're in that range.
Speaker 4: Talk with Ross Tucker Ross. Tom Brady works his first
Speaker 4: game for Fox as an NFL analyst, all sorts of criticism,
Speaker 4: some praise on social media. I thought he was just fine.
Speaker 4: What advice would would you give him? Maybe he's reached
Speaker 4: out to you, I'm not sure, But what advice would
Speaker 4: you give him? And what can you tell people about
Speaker 4: that job that they might not know.
Speaker 7: Number One, it's a lot harder than you think. I
Speaker 7: think it's a lot easier than people. It's a lot
Speaker 7: easier when you're sitting on the couch and saying I
Speaker 7: would make this comment right now, I'd say this right now.
Speaker 3: I saw this.
Speaker 7: You know, that's a lot easier than when you're actually
Speaker 7: there and you have a bunch of monitors and you
Speaker 7: have a producer in your ear, and they're telling you
Speaker 7: what replay they want to show, and you know, and
Speaker 7: by the way, there's twenty two guys on the field,
Speaker 7: so you know, you're not necessarily always looking at the
Speaker 7: same thing as everybody else, you know. I mean, that's
Speaker 7: kind of the art to it. So that's Number one
Speaker 7: is that's probably a lot harder of a job than
Speaker 7: people realize. I'm not worried about that part of it
Speaker 7: with Tom or the preparation, because I'm sure he you know,
Speaker 7: in fact, he's probably over prepared. You know, he probably
Speaker 7: prepared so much that he had so much information that
Speaker 7: what actually is the key then as a broadcaster, is
Speaker 7: you have all this information, it doesn't matter unless you
Speaker 7: make sure that you see, say the important things that
Speaker 7: you have, the things that you really think are important
Speaker 7: to mention and or if you had this information when
Speaker 7: that play happens in the game, and it may or
Speaker 7: may not happen, but when it happens, that bam, you're ready,
Speaker 7: and that's the time when you can can drop that
Speaker 7: information that you had prepared going into it. I didn't,
Speaker 7: you know, I was driving back from Buffalo to my
Speaker 7: house in Central Pennsylvania. I didn't get a chance to
Speaker 7: hear one second so I can't really comment from my
Speaker 7: perspective other than I would be I'd be scared to
Speaker 7: go back and watch my first game.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 7: Thankfully, my first game was not the Cowboys in the Browns.
Speaker 4: Yes it was.
Speaker 3: It was penn Yale. Although I will say this, Pennyale
Speaker 3: was a.
Speaker 7: Big game that year in seven and it went to
Speaker 7: triple overtime.
Speaker 3: So I was hooked as a broadcast. I was like,
Speaker 3: this is amazing triple overtime. Like these kids are crying
Speaker 3: us Like I was sold.
Speaker 7: I'm being a broadcaster that day, my first game ever
Speaker 7: on TV.
Speaker 4: What do you think is harder being an NFL analyst
Speaker 4: or hosting a show like this one? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Well, I can tell you the hardest of those three
Speaker 7: would be being a college football analyst. Because Week one,
Speaker 7: Week one, I'm doing UCLA Hawaii. I didn't know any
Speaker 7: players for UCLA and Hawaii, or not many, at least
Speaker 7: I knew a couple.
Speaker 3: And then by the way, there was probably Hawaii.
Speaker 7: Had sixty nine guys in the pronunciation guide, Ucla had
Speaker 7: like thirty five.
Speaker 3: A lot of Polynesian names. I mean, you.
Speaker 7: Can't get that wrong in prime time on CBS, Rick,
Speaker 7: you can't do that, and so I would say, your
Speaker 7: job seems pretty easy. I mean, you sit there. Rick
Speaker 7: already has his questions written down like three segments in advance.
Speaker 7: During the commercial break, Rick looks to see if if
Speaker 7: the Canucks you know, signed a new guy to send
Speaker 7: down the AHL, if anything's happening in junior hockey.
Speaker 3: I mean, there is no job easier than you, guys.
Speaker 5: I got a text agent's all day, Ross, I got
Speaker 5: a text agents all day, get the information.
Speaker 3: Come on, I have a question, Rick. I believe that right.
Speaker 3: I believe that that's a huge part of your job.
Speaker 3: Do you like it?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: I talked to one this morning at six o'clock.
Speaker 1: I got in the car right away.
Speaker 7: Call them no, I mean, do you do you like
Speaker 7: your job?
Speaker 3: Do you like that out?
Speaker 5: Oh? I love it? And I just said on the
Speaker 5: couch I text these guys for info all day. They
Speaker 5: helped me out. It's great, Row.
Speaker 4: The big takeaway there was sitting on the couch.
Speaker 5: The cell phone, greatest invention.
Speaker 4: Ross.
Speaker 5: I get the text people in Sweden, Finland, russ shots great.
Speaker 4: None of them has anything to do with your job.
Speaker 4: But hey, Ross, very quickly, Dak Prescott, is he worth
Speaker 4: sixty smell a year.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I mean with the way today's NFL is
Speaker 7: and what the salary cap is, if you can get
Speaker 7: top five quarterback play, I mean, let's just say there
Speaker 7: was no salary cap. How much do you think, like
Speaker 7: David Tepper, the owner of the Carolina Panthers, would pay.
Speaker 3: For top five quarterback play. And then we can go
Speaker 3: right down the line, Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 7: I mean, there's a bunch of teams that if you
Speaker 7: said you can have Dak playing the way Dak has
Speaker 7: played the last couple of years for the next ten years,
Speaker 7: they would pay a lot of money because it changes everything.
Speaker 7: It changes every aspect of an NFL organization. They're more
Speaker 7: important than the head coach, the GM, the owner. Nothing
Speaker 7: moves the needle on.
Speaker 3: An NFL franchise like the starting quarterback.
Speaker 4: Great to have you back, Ross, thanks so much. Great
Speaker 4: to hear that you had a good time off and
Speaker 4: great listening to you yesterday. Thanks so much, my Frank.
Speaker 3: You guys appreciate it.
Speaker 4: You bet Ross Tucker, CBS Sports Westwood One again work
Speaker 4: the Cardinals, Bills won, and Bills yesterday in Buffalo Jets
Speaker 4: at forty nine Ers tonight Aaron Rodgers. It's gonna be

Speaker 8: Can you imagine a big trade happened or something right
Speaker 8: now and he can't say anything on the show. Okay,
Speaker 8: over the weekend, some some Now, let's get to some
Speaker 8: sports news very quickly. The white Caps they'll know draw
Speaker 8: Saturday night, BC Place, they finally returned to BC Place,
Speaker 8: felt like forever.
Speaker 1: They'll know draw now. Okay, I thought they played really well.
Speaker 1: You thought they played horribly.
Speaker 4: No, no, I didn't sing it before, still put words
Speaker 4: in my mouth. I said that it wasn't the most
Speaker 4: entertaining game.
Speaker 5: It wasn't.
Speaker 4: You are right, Ryan gold not that I have to
Speaker 4: have goals, but there wasn't a whole lot happening. I know.
Speaker 4: Derek agrees with Ryan.
Speaker 8: Gold Off an international duty finally Scotland, so he wasn't there.
Speaker 1: Brian White also out of the mix as well.
Speaker 8: Stuart Armstrong, who's the newest member of the white Caps,
Speaker 8: by the way, the Scottish player he's in this graphic here.
Speaker 8: He only played like six minutes or something. The white
Speaker 8: Caps deserved a victory. Ryan Raposa was really good. They
Speaker 8: did play well.
Speaker 1: There was moments two posts, especially late. They almost scored
Speaker 1: an extra time Tales win it.
Speaker 4: That part was good.
Speaker 8: So I give the Caps props again shorthanded nil nil.
Speaker 8: They're back in action this Saturday night at BC Place
Speaker 8: again as they take on Santa Now Rick the Earthquakes.
Speaker 1: No, he just can't do anything, that's the thing.
Speaker 8: Okay, one other soccer related know I want to get
Speaker 8: in quickly though over the weekend, and I want to
Speaker 8: bring this up because Taylor covered the last time this happened.
Speaker 8: For the first time since nineteen fifty seven, Canada beat
Speaker 8: the United States in American soil, in an American soil.
Speaker 8: It well, both technically in it. Their cleats go in
Speaker 8: the soil. It kind of counts, but it was It's
Speaker 8: on America.
Speaker 4: Were they digging tunnels?
Speaker 8: Jonathan David and Jacob Schaffelberg scored the two goals for Canada.
Speaker 8: But again we didn't talk about this because we were
Speaker 8: off Canada fourth place at the Copa America tournament. Now
Speaker 8: this friendly in the States, they beat the States. The
Speaker 8: United States has big problems in soccer, but we're not
Speaker 8: going to get into that. Jesse Marsha after the game,
Speaker 8: he kind of threw a shot to whose American said
Speaker 8: something about, you know, I don't. I wouldn't want to
Speaker 8: coach anyone else right now. I think that was a
Speaker 8: bit of a shot at the Americans. But also again
Speaker 8: the Canadians kind of rolling fourth place, decent showing at
Speaker 8: the COPA. Now this they're back in action tomorrow night
Speaker 8: in Arlington.
Speaker 4: Had to deal with Dronegate two, Yeah, which we didn't
Speaker 4: talk about at the Olympics, which what a disaster.
Speaker 1: That whole situation was.
Speaker 8: The women still, you know, they did their best, They
Speaker 8: did what they could at the Olympics, but that.
Speaker 4: Was just.
Speaker 8: Getting accused of well it definitely seemed like a program thing,
Speaker 8: not a coach thing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was one person.
Speaker 8: I think there was a lot of people allegedly involved
Speaker 8: in that. So anyway, good on Canada two to one,
Speaker 8: first time since nineteen fifty seven. Hopefully his good pal
Speaker 8: we showed it earlier. He had breakfast with him over
Speaker 8: the summer. Dollivo is good pal. Elliot Friedman going to

Speaker 4: one second. Meanwhile, Rick, you have an update when it
Speaker 4: comes to the late John and his brother Matthew. The
Speaker 4: funeral going on today in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5: Now, the funeral is going on today. And I remember,
Speaker 5: Don you called me the day this happened in the summer,
Speaker 5: and how shocked we were, and how bad of an
Speaker 5: event this is. And a person can't even go out
Speaker 5: and drive his bike and just on a leisurely drive
Speaker 5: with his brother and not come home. We were all devastated.
Speaker 5: The hockey world is turning out today for Johnny Gudrou's funeral,
Speaker 5: and his wife said at the funeral that she is
Speaker 5: expecting their third.
Speaker 4: Child as well.
Speaker 5: So she went on to talk about Sean Monaghan and Calgary.
Speaker 5: How Sean was absolutely a vital part of Johnny Goudrou's
Speaker 5: career in Calgary. To just pay homage to Sean Monahan,
Speaker 5: they were very close, but Donnie just a very sad
Speaker 5: and tragic event, very.
Speaker 4: Sad, and Sean had signed with Columbus in and why
Speaker 4: Johnny was there? So Johnny Goudro's wife announcing that she's pregnant.
Speaker 4: The same with with Matthew.
Speaker 5: His wife is pregnant, which just makes it more frustrating,
Speaker 5: heart maddening and heartbreaking and just very sad.
Speaker 4: Got Elliott, I'm still working on. Elliott Elliot from How
Speaker 4: Can It in Canada? Thirty two Thoughts Podcast? Kyle bocskas
Speaker 4: we understand, is going to be the co host of
Speaker 4: the thirty two Thoughts podcast, taking over from Jeff Merrick.
Speaker 5: Campbell River Native right here in your old stopping grounds,
Speaker 5: Campbell River. Donny got him apply to Campbell River, all right?
Speaker 4: Elliott Friedman joining us from Las Vegas, How Can It
Speaker 4: in Canada? Thirty two Thoughts Podcast? Elliott, thanks for doing this, sir,
Speaker 4: How are you my pleasure?
Speaker 10: I didn't get the zoom. It's all Ryan's fault.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what a shocks. But that's the least of our worries. Today.
Speaker 4: We had an entire segment where Rick didn't have his
Speaker 4: mic on. So this is this is nothing, Elliott. I hate,
Speaker 4: I hate to start this way, but we just talked
Speaker 4: about a heartbreaking story getting more heartbreaking. That's the fact
Speaker 4: Johnny Gudro's wife has announced that she's pregnant with their
Speaker 4: with their third child. Ell if you could put this,
Speaker 4: if you don't mind it too hockey terms, what will
Speaker 4: his legacy be when it comes to this, comes to
Speaker 4: the great game of hockey?
Speaker 10: You know, it's still really hard to think about. To
Speaker 10: be perfectly honest, Donnie, like he's still at various points
Speaker 10: you think that you're coming to grips with the fact
Speaker 10: that this has happened, but then something like this, like
Speaker 10: Merediths announcement comes and it just makes you shake your
Speaker 10: head and feel the pain even more.
Speaker 3: You know. I think that I think.
Speaker 10: The tributes I've received from other people, like I knew
Speaker 10: Johnny Gudreau, who was very friendly. We had a good relationship,
Speaker 10: but I wouldn't say I was particularly close with him
Speaker 10: as a lot of other people were. It's very clear
Speaker 10: he was a popular friend, and he was a popular
Speaker 10: teammate and in a lot of ways, I think the
Speaker 10: reason he appealed to people was he's kind of like
Speaker 10: not built as the ideal hockey player would be the
Speaker 10: fact that he isn't some big, strong monster that just
Speaker 10: overpowered people. And he was, you know, someone who wasn't
Speaker 10: the biggest, was pretty slight, but found a way to
Speaker 10: become one of the best players in the NHL through
Speaker 10: pure will and skill. And you know, there's there were
Speaker 10: a lot of good stories I heard from fans, Like
Speaker 10: one fan sent me a DM who just said that,
Speaker 10: you know, when Gudro showed up with the Flames, he
Speaker 10: was a guy who was was was not in a
Speaker 10: great spot in his life, and you know, one of
Speaker 10: the things he's every day he started looking forward. He
Speaker 10: loved Gudro, watching Goodro play. It didn't take long and
Speaker 10: you know, it kind of helped him at a really
Speaker 10: tough point in his life where he would look forward
Speaker 10: to Flames games and watching Gudro and then that brought
Speaker 10: him joy. And I think there's a lot of stories
Speaker 10: like that. Yeah, obviously had a lot of great friends
Speaker 10: in the NHL, from Kevin Ay's to Sean Mahtah and
Speaker 10: to just vote everybody. Erica Branson, who you guys know well.
Speaker 10: And you know, there was a great story I was
Speaker 10: told Donnie. You know earlier this summer, there's there's a
Speaker 10: young and nine born player in the States who was
Speaker 10: who was playing two on two with Gudro. And you know,
Speaker 10: this is a guy who's got a chance to be
Speaker 10: a player. He's a he's right now one of those
Speaker 10: high schools, which is high level hockey. He'll probably be
Speaker 10: playing for the national development team. And he was playing
Speaker 10: two on two and Gudrow was his teammate and Gudro
Speaker 10: kind of lifted his stick because he didn't think that
Speaker 10: this player would be able to find him with a
Speaker 10: pass where he was on the ice, and the player
Speaker 10: put it through and Gudro was surprised, but he recovered
Speaker 10: to score and he's Gudro walked over and skated over
Speaker 10: and said, you know, I didn't think you'd be able
Speaker 10: to get me with that pass. That's a great pass.
Speaker 10: And and you know someone else told me about the story.
Speaker 10: But the kid was just beaming that Johnny Gudrou, I'm
Speaker 10: just looking up his name. The kid was just beaming
Speaker 10: that Johnny Good would would know what would say to him, Wow,
Speaker 10: Like you have the skill to make that pass. I
Speaker 10: didn't necessarily think that you would be able to get
Speaker 10: it to me. And his name is Brayden Scuderi. He's
Speaker 10: a two thousand and nine born player. And I think
Speaker 10: that in addition to all the stories that we know
Speaker 10: and we can think of, there were a bunch of
Speaker 10: stories I got told from other people like that that
Speaker 10: just really showed the impact he had.
Speaker 4: I think you have the ability and it's rare to
Speaker 4: make people feel better about themselves. And God bless him
Speaker 4: and his family. Matthew, everybody tough. Turn Elliott, we'll take it.
Speaker 4: We haven't talked to you all summer. But fourteen million
Speaker 4: dollars a year for a Leon Drei Syttle in Edmonton.
Speaker 4: What does that say about where the Oilers and maybe
Speaker 4: the rest of the NHL think the salary cap is
Speaker 4: going well.
Speaker 10: I think the one thing you have to remember, Donn
Speaker 10: is if you take a look at a lot of
Speaker 10: the top players, like a lot of the top guys,
Speaker 10: and Drysel is the top guy, they're about fifteen to
Speaker 10: sixteen percent of the salary cap. And I think the
Speaker 10: dry Settles number comes in at fifteen point eight, so
Speaker 10: it's not although it looks high, and it's the highest
Speaker 10: number we have right now. If you take a look
Speaker 10: at where a lot of these contracts have been signed
Speaker 10: during their times, it's right there. The top players get
Speaker 10: between fifteen and sixteen percent of the salary cap, and
Speaker 10: Leon Dreisidel is a top player. Now, everybody here seems
Speaker 10: to be optimistic about where the cap is going. It
Speaker 10: went up five percent this year under the CBA. It's
Speaker 10: supposed to go up again five percent the next year
Speaker 10: and then we'll see, and people are very optimistic. They
Speaker 10: are very very optimistic.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 10: I mean, the only thing is in knock on Wood,
Speaker 10: you know, the Toronto Many Police when they did their
Speaker 10: all their contracts with Tavaris and Marna and Matthews. That
Speaker 10: was pre COVID, and you know, COVID obviously changed the
Speaker 10: dynamic and really shut them down. And you know, I
Speaker 10: think you're hoping, and I think we're all hoping. As
Speaker 10: a war world, there's nothing like that ever again, that
Speaker 10: does it. But as long as things continue to go
Speaker 10: as people are predicting and expecting, nobody will give me
Speaker 10: hard numbers like I've asked. There are hard number of
Speaker 10: predictions out there and nobody will give me those. But
Speaker 10: the one thing you see, Donnie, is that you know
Speaker 10: the CAP is lagging behind a bit right now because
Speaker 10: they had to pay back the owners from the from COVID.
Speaker 10: So I do think teams are very optimistic. I do
Speaker 10: think the agents and the and the and the players
Speaker 10: are very optimistic. Things appear to be very healthy. There's
Speaker 10: a new Canadian TV deal coming in two years, and
Speaker 10: I know the league is setting some pretty aggressive targets.
Speaker 10: So you know, if things keep going that way, I
Speaker 10: don't think it's going to be a problem.
Speaker 5: All right, Elliott, Let's focus on Vancouver. Thatcher Dempko. It's
Speaker 5: a number one story. It's been for weeks here, Elliott,
Speaker 5: what are you hearing on Dempco? When's he going to
Speaker 5: be ready? Cap? Preseason? Regular season?
Speaker 1: Give it to us?
Speaker 10: So, Rick, do you want me to send the share
Speaker 10: of the text you sent me before?
Speaker 5: So? No, I don't keep that private. Out keep it private?
Speaker 10: Okay, Yeah, I don't release text messages like that. You
Speaker 10: never have to worry. Look like, I think Demco in
Speaker 10: a lot of ways, it reminds me a lot of
Speaker 10: the playoffs last year, and that is that nobody is
Speaker 10: really sure. I think anybody who sits here right now
Speaker 10: and says I know what the exact timeline is is
Speaker 10: either a the doctor or B kidding everyone. I think
Speaker 10: that I think that we're still kind of uncertain now.
Speaker 10: The one thing that I do believe, I do believe
Speaker 10: the Canucks are not panicking that this is going to
Speaker 10: be half the season or threatens his season or anything
Speaker 10: like that. But I think there is an understanding that
Speaker 10: he may may not be ready for the start of
Speaker 10: the year. And I think one of the things that
Speaker 10: everybody is getting a handle on here is, you know,
Speaker 10: and I'm always really careful about you know. Somebody said
Speaker 10: to me, like, you're blaming Ian Clark for this. No,
Speaker 10: I'm not blaming Ian Clark for this, because I think
Speaker 10: I and Clark is a major is one of the
Speaker 10: best in the world of what he does, and he's
Speaker 10: one of the major reasons that Thatcher Demko has developed
Speaker 10: into who he is. But what I do think is
Speaker 10: the Canucks feel that Demko was working too hard and
Speaker 10: they don't want him on ice doing drills as much
Speaker 10: as and I think Demko kind of has been understood
Speaker 10: to agree with that that rest is something he's going
Speaker 10: to have to do a bit more like. One of
Speaker 10: the things that happened last year going into the playoffs
Speaker 10: was the Canucks told Demko, we need you to start
Speaker 10: twice before the playoffs or else we're just not sure
Speaker 10: we can count on you. So he rushed to get
Speaker 10: himself back, and I think everybody wonders if that contributed
Speaker 10: to the injury. Now, if you're the Canucks, can you
Speaker 10: blame them for saying that, No you can't. If your Demko,
Speaker 10: can you blame him for working as hard as he
Speaker 10: can and pushing himself to do that, No, you can't.
Speaker 10: So I do believe that in addition to the injury,
Speaker 10: there's also the plan of how do we work Demco
Speaker 10: that he gets all the work he does that he
Speaker 10: needs to do, he'd be a top goalie, continues to
Speaker 10: be as good as he can be, but also give
Speaker 10: him a break so he's not working as much as
Speaker 10: he was because I do think everybody here believes that
Speaker 10: workload was part of the issue. So I think they're
Speaker 10: not going to push him. I think the Canucks field
Speaker 10: they're good enough that they can start the year if
Speaker 10: they have to without them as if they have a
Speaker 10: good team and then but they don't appear worried Rick,
Speaker 10: that this is going to be a long term thing. Now,
Speaker 10: something I said on my podcast, I had some people
Speaker 10: upset that he's going to have to learn to play
Speaker 10: through this and that's a disaster. I don't necessarily believe
Speaker 10: that's the case, because I don't believe the injury is
Speaker 10: that serious, and I do think he can learn to
Speaker 10: play his way through it. But I think that's part
Speaker 10: of the issue here, is he's going to have to
Speaker 10: learn to deal with whatever this is and play in
Speaker 10: a way or work out through it in a way
Speaker 10: that he can strengthen the area around it. I think
Speaker 10: the knee, I guess, strengthen the area around it and
Speaker 10: and just make himself stronger around it. Like I have heard,
Speaker 10: this is not a devastating injury, Elliott.
Speaker 5: They still have that offer out to Lancan and do
Speaker 5: you what do you see? Do you see another goalie
Speaker 5: coming in for training cap I do.
Speaker 10: I do think that the Canucks would like that. Number One,
Speaker 10: it increases competition. Number two, Rick like it gives you
Speaker 10: a safety blanket, you know. I think with Lancan, and like,
Speaker 10: you know, I think one of the things you do
Speaker 10: when you're in his kind of situation is you kind
Speaker 10: of wait to see if something develops late. You know,
Speaker 10: is there like you know, like, is there another situation
Speaker 10: in the league that you think that maybe a goalie
Speaker 10: show up injured or something happens where you think you
Speaker 10: have a better opportunity or can sign a better deal.
Speaker 10: So I don't think Lancan is disinterested in the Canucks.
Speaker 10: I just think at this point in time it behooves
Speaker 10: him to wait as long as he can, or as
Speaker 10: long as he feel comfortable, to see what opportunities are
Speaker 10: out there. But I do think you're going to look
Speaker 10: to go out and get someone else, whether it's PTO
Speaker 10: or a contract.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 10: The other thing about this too is that and you know,
Speaker 10: you know, Jim Rutherford's been around a long time, so
Speaker 10: he'll figure out how to deal with this. But you're
Speaker 10: always careful too, if you bring in someone like who
Speaker 10: would need waivers, you try to structure your contract or
Speaker 10: make sure that if you have to put them through waivers,
Speaker 10: it's an opportune time where they're not going to be claimed.
Speaker 10: Like one of the things that Maple League did with
Speaker 10: Martin Jones last year was they put a bonus around
Speaker 10: the start of the season so people wouldn't want to
Speaker 10: pay that kind of a bonus. They just let him
Speaker 10: slide through on waivers and he played really well for
Speaker 10: Toronto last year. So that's one of the things that
Speaker 10: the Canucks will be looking at too, is, you know,
Speaker 10: do we if we really think we need someone and
Speaker 10: they might be a third goalie or you know, you
Speaker 10: just might, you have to structure things or prepare for
Speaker 10: things in a way that if you really need them,
Speaker 10: you don't lose them on.
Speaker 4: Waivers and very quickly and before that you go, you're
Speaker 4: you're in Vegas for people who don't know what's what's
Speaker 4: happening in Nevada for you.
Speaker 10: So, Donny, there's the NHL NHLPA Media Tour where one
Speaker 10: or in some cases like both Dry Sidle and McDavid
Speaker 10: are coming from Edmonton. Two players per team come and
Speaker 10: you know when you guys watch the when the fans
Speaker 10: out there watch the opens of games, and there's players
Speaker 10: skating and shooting the puck like they film that. So
Speaker 10: there's like a two parter of it. Year one is
Speaker 10: filming the openings for places like US and and ESPN
Speaker 10: and TNT, and the other is interviews with some of
Speaker 10: the some of the rights holders and others who are around.
Speaker 10: So you know, I'm out here doing some interviews with
Speaker 10: a bunch of players. You know, it's a good group.
Speaker 10: Quinn Hughes is representing the Canucks. I saw he met
Speaker 10: with the media today, so he's going to hop on
Speaker 10: a plane either tonight or tomorrow to come out here
Speaker 10: and see us. And basically it's one player per team,
Speaker 10: and it's it's one of my favorite times of the
Speaker 10: year because everyone's in a good mood and nobody hates
Speaker 10: us yet, so you know, I really, I really enjoy that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I hope you I didn't say this, but
Speaker 4: I hope you had a great summer. Back to work
Speaker 4: for you. Thank you, guys and us and Nellie. We
Speaker 4: can't thank you enough. You're back on board.
Speaker 10: Well, you know what, in case anyone's not aware that
Speaker 10: the fee that we do for this, we graciously donate
Speaker 10: to the Canucks for kids. And I'm happy to do
Speaker 10: that because you know, that's one of the things the
Speaker 10: Canucks do really well. So I'm happy to come on
Speaker 10: and get a little bit of Twitter hate if it
Speaker 10: means Canucks for Kids benefits from it, So it's all good.
Speaker 4: Whatever it takes. Elliet, thanks for doing this, appreciate it.
Speaker 4: We'll talk to you in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 10: All right, guys, take care speak to you there.
Speaker 4: Elliot Friedman one of my favorites. So I could end
Speaker 4: Canada thirty two Thoughts podcast. People talking about in the
Speaker 4: the ladies. Okay, turn land in box. Don't want me
Speaker 4: to mention Elliott's hair. I don't make hair jokes. There's
Speaker 4: a good reason why.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but Elliott, he's he's got here, but he doesn't
Speaker 5: use gel like jel is a very important un.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he doesn't use gel. You have stock in several cups.
Speaker 5: I just bought a new bottle of jail last night.
Speaker 4: Good. We'll talk about that in the next segment and
Speaker 4: and update the poll question. Donny Dell the team.
Speaker 9: On check Donnie and Dolly. The team is supported by
Speaker 9: Abelauctions dot c A closing your business where you can help.
Speaker 6: Waddling dog Pole question an update.
Speaker 5: It has to do with the Canucks.
Speaker 4: Visit one of Victoria's favorite pubs, A dog where you
Speaker 4: can enjoy twenty taps twenty screens. You're home for the
Speaker 4: Canucks in UFC com Sit and stay at the dog today.
Speaker 5: Rick, All right, there we go the Ryan get her
Speaker 5: up the waddling Dog. Pop poll question, is that your
Speaker 5: Dempko's durability the Canucks number one concern heading into the season.
Speaker 5: A whopping ninety percent say yes, almost a thousand votes.
Speaker 5: And you just heard Elliott Freeman. There was concern in
Speaker 5: the organization that Dempko was being worked too hard. And
Speaker 5: you know, people are going to take their shots at
Speaker 5: Ian Clark and say that's Ian Clark, but it's a
Speaker 5: group effort. Clark's not the only guy. There's trainers, there's doctors.
Speaker 5: There's a whole slew of them that come up with
Speaker 5: decisions on what to do with the player. But the Canucks,
Speaker 5: Elliott says, we're concerned Dempko was working too hard. From
Speaker 5: here on in, he's going to have to get used
Speaker 5: to more rest and that's the bottom line.

Speaker 12: knows what his health they might be all the highlights
Speaker 12: we have of Thatcher Demko and it canuctuniform.
Speaker 1: You never know.
Speaker 8: So anyway, that's and I should say some of the
Speaker 8: other items, like I say in front of the laptop
Speaker 8: or in front of the desk story are from Pastime Sports.
Speaker 8: I went by the Langley location. There's it's like a
Speaker 8: museum in there. It's crazy how much stuff is there.
Speaker 8: So head to Pastime in any of the four locations.
Speaker 4: I'm getting some heat because people just assume it's me
Speaker 4: because it's lacrosse. Because of the Cable Vision jersey. What
Speaker 4: are you gonna keep in front of our desk? Well,
Speaker 4: guys from Salmon Bellies, people from the North Shore and
Speaker 4: you know the hated Burnaby Cablevision back in the day.
Speaker 4: First of all, I love those jerseys and I played
Speaker 4: Burnaby Minor Norman Minor. But my brother, my late brother Dave,
Speaker 4: played for Burnaby Cablevision, so a tribute to him. And
Speaker 4: you know what, I feel so bad. I can't remember
Speaker 4: the name of the gentleman who gave me that trew.
Speaker 4: It's not my brothers, but it is the team he
Speaker 4: played for.
Speaker 8: So it's not either of yours. Act no, because I
Speaker 8: don't think it's been washed like it smells.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how long we can have.
Speaker 5: So you had nine weeks off and we didn't wash it.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't want it because it's like a relic.
Speaker 1: Look at it. I don't want it to.
Speaker 4: Can you take it home? Do you think it would
Speaker 4: fall apart?
Speaker 1: If that's what I'm worried about? Yeah, washing shau it's
Speaker 1: so old.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, regardless, it means something to me.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people. I'm happy to have it
Speaker 1: on the desk.
Speaker 5: But the Salmon Bellies logo is the best logo.
Speaker 1: It's really good.
Speaker 5: And the color scheme for the salmon Bellies. I'm not
Speaker 5: just here. You're from New West Park News guy, all
Speaker 5: those guys.
Speaker 4: Let's let's say this and you you had your say,
Speaker 4: but let me say this that if people want to
Speaker 4: send us items, we'll put them on the front desk.
Speaker 8: Okay, we have to have some kind of cap like
Speaker 8: I don't want you know now you throw to God
Speaker 8: knows what we're going to get in the mail. Well,
Speaker 8: we want stuff to get in the.
Speaker 4: Mail, and like we want more color here the salmon
Speaker 4: bellies Jersey. Wow, well maybe not.
Speaker 1: Speaking of stinky, that's a good point.
Speaker 4: The cable vision Jersey doesn't smell. I'm what do you
Speaker 4: put it up to your nose.
Speaker 8: I had it in my man cave for nine weeks,
Speaker 8: and my man cave does not stop it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just saying to stop it.
Speaker 4: Okay, moving on here, and I you know, people can
Speaker 4: find out our address and maybe send us some bubble
Speaker 4: heads or souvenirs whatever. Again, do you think it's a mistake.
Speaker 1: We need a person, somebody can somebody needs to intern.
Speaker 4: Nothing, nothing that would get us in trouble.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: You wanted to talk about the BC Lions. They play
Speaker 4: Toronto at BC Place on Friday.
Speaker 5: Okay, First of all, the Lions got the attention of
Speaker 5: a lot of people when Nathan Rooke came back. But
Speaker 5: I want to say somethingbout Vernon Adams. This guy took
Speaker 5: a pay cut before the season dawned. He was in
Speaker 5: our studio. I remember he said, I took a pay
Speaker 5: cut so the Canucks or so the Lions could get
Speaker 5: some guys under the salary cap, and he did the
Speaker 5: team of favor. I just want to say, this guy's
Speaker 5: a pretty good guy. Nathan Wore comes in, knocks him
Speaker 5: Automa the starting job. They got the same agent, they're
Speaker 5: represented by the same agents. I mean, imagine being the
Speaker 5: agent getting Nathan Rourke out of there into British Columbia,
Speaker 5: which obviously is going to push the Vernon Adams to
Speaker 5: the side. I just want to give a shout out
Speaker 5: to Vernon Adams. I think he's been a pretty dead class,
Speaker 5: first class pretty and the Lions made a decision on
Speaker 5: the day they signed Nathan Rourke they were not going
Speaker 5: to get rid of Vernon. Do I expect Vernon to
Speaker 5: be traded in the off season, Yeah, I do, but
Speaker 5: right now because Nathan's going to be making seven hundred
Speaker 5: and fifty eight hundred thousand next year, Donny, it's the
Speaker 5: right thing to do. Get him to a team where
Speaker 5: he can be the starter. But this guy. You talked
Speaker 5: about professional athletes losing their jobs and sulking and crying
Speaker 5: and bitching and moaning and whining. This guy didn't do that.
Speaker 5: I just want to give him a shot.
Speaker 4: I haven't spent a lot of time with him, but
Speaker 4: it's very clear that he's really a smart guy. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and Vernon's been around long enough that he knows that
Speaker 4: if he bitches and moans and wines, that might turn
Speaker 4: off something other people who might have a job waiting
Speaker 4: for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4: Right, that's a good point, and the Lions have to
Speaker 4: keep him around there hosting the Gray Cup as an
Speaker 4: insurance policy in case something happens. He realized to Nathan,
Speaker 4: and he also wanted to give them hats off for
Speaker 4: what happened to Victoria, which we talked about earlier.
Speaker 5: Victoria. I thought Victoria did a super job. They re
Speaker 5: look at this. Is that just visually, don When I
Speaker 5: watched on TSN, they had eighteen cameras there by the way.
Speaker 5: They took it seriously, this game that TSN did, But
Speaker 5: just visually, it's just so nice, and you said it,
Speaker 5: it was so nice to watch it on TV. I
Speaker 5: thought Victoria did a just a great event, bang up job.
Speaker 5: Great job by Victoria the Lions, and that was the game.
Speaker 5: Nathan finally, you know, became the old Nathan that we know.
Speaker 5: So I just thought lots of fun, Yeah, lots of fun.
Speaker 5: And there's more coming, folks, because the World Cup of
Speaker 5: Soccer is going to kick the Lions out of BC
Speaker 5: place in the future, so they're gonna have to go
Speaker 5: somewhere else. So it's going to be interesting to see
Speaker 5: where they pick.
Speaker 4: We're good, right, DTMZ Next Donnie Della the team on Check.

Speaker 4: Rick first, Yeah, Okay, now it's going to fall off
Speaker 4: the edge. Can I get back to reading this? Kendrick
Speaker 4: lamar rickh oh yeah yeah. Kendrick Lamar Well headlined the
Speaker 4: Super Bowl halftime show February ninth in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Speaker 4: The NFL, I don't know why I went into Howard
Speaker 4: Cosell there. The NFL, Apple Music and Rock Nation made
Speaker 4: the announcement Sunday. Lamar the rap megastar. He's won seventeen
Speaker 4: GRAMMYSCT seventeen. He says he's looking forward to bringing hip
Speaker 4: hop to the NFL's championship game. Have we've already seen
Speaker 4: hip hop?
Speaker 5: Two years ago? Three years ago?
Speaker 4: Where he performed in twenty twenty two as a guest artist,
Speaker 4: Remember he was with Doctor Dre and snoopid Eminem fifty.
Speaker 4: He's won, as I mentioned, seventeen Grammy Awards, and in
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen, became the first non classical, non jazz as
Speaker 4: musician to win a Pulitzer Prize.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 4: His most recent album, Mister Morale and the Big Steppers,
Speaker 4: was released in May twenty twenty. It's a big Name
Speaker 4: May twenty twenty two earlier, this year, Super Bowl fifty eight,
Speaker 4: that halftime show I didn't know this with Usher became
Speaker 4: the most watched halftime performance of all time and collected
Speaker 4: three Emmy nominations. Put that in your pipe and smoke it,
Speaker 4: Kendrick Lamar. Now, my knowledge of his work is pretty limited.
Speaker 4: In fact, it's zero. But this is a big, big name.
Speaker 4: This just in I say this all the time, old
Speaker 4: guy from Canada. I'm not the target audience.
Speaker 5: I don't know this guy. I don't know his music.
Speaker 5: I don't know any of the songs. I'm not that
Speaker 5: type of guy that wrap stuff. Why can't I wish
Speaker 5: you were? No, Why can't they bring in Bruce Springsteen,
Speaker 5: John Cougar, AC DC, stuff like that. Then it gets
Speaker 5: me excited. I'm not gonna stay. I'm not going to
Speaker 5: watch the halftime show. There's not a chance.
Speaker 4: But the NFL's figured it out, and they did this
Speaker 4: a long time ago. Where you know the hardcores, you
Speaker 4: know the football fans, young kid that might like the
Speaker 4: what the kids call rock and roll, they're going to
Speaker 4: watch the game anyway. This way you get people who
Speaker 4: might be at a Super Bowl party, might not be
Speaker 4: watching the game, but they'll watch the halftime show and
Speaker 4: up their audience. It's quite brilliant. I agree with you.
Speaker 4: I'd rather see those acts too. But you know what
Speaker 4: other time Stringsteen did a game, Oh.
Speaker 5: Bruce would be great, you know. I mean, but these
Speaker 5: guys are trying to get the young audience, Johnny, They're

Speaker 4: show is winding down, Tom for Is it just me? Rick?
Speaker 4: What you got?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 5: Is it just me? I know it's a long summer.
Speaker 5: But Selov's on that series to Smith was hurt as well.
Speaker 5: They never got back into Smith also melted down after
Speaker 5: the game in Minnesota, Orange in Evan. But the Canucks
Speaker 5: made a mistake not resigning to Smith Orange in Evan,
Speaker 5: because now they're right in the same spot don going
Speaker 5: after Link and then offering him a contract if they
Speaker 5: would have just signed a Casey to Smith, they went
Speaker 5: at him just before the July first, did not make
Speaker 5: a very good offer and it didn't get done. The
Speaker 5: fact they went after to Smith before July first tells
Speaker 5: me they wanted him back, but they don't want to
Speaker 5: pay a ton of money for the backup position.
Speaker 4: But Rick was and the timing as such that the
Speaker 4: urgency wasn't there when it comes to Demko's health right,
Speaker 4: not at that time, at the time they thought he
Speaker 4: was recovering. Well, yep, again, we're gonna find out more
Speaker 4: when the training camp physicals come.
Speaker 5: That's the big one for me, is on day one.
Speaker 4: But there's more urgency now than there was initially.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they're still after Lanking and don't I'm telling
Speaker 5: you right now, the offers out there.
Speaker 4: For so a chance to be a lot of people
Speaker 4: have mentioned this and the Ladies, okay, turing Langley in Bucks.
Speaker 4: Too many goalies.
Speaker 5: Maybe if they signed another one, you you know they're
Speaker 5: gonna have three in Absburg, and they already got a
Speaker 5: young draft pick that's supposed to play in the East
Speaker 5: Coast Hockey League, So it's it's gonna get crowded.
Speaker 4: Garth and Ladder.
Speaker 5: Is it just me?
Speaker 4: Or is Donnie bang on about euro shaming? People don't
Speaker 4: realize for people our age, it took a train trip
Speaker 4: across Canada and then a steamship across the Atlantic. Rick
Speaker 4: should be shamed for liking Toronto so much.
Speaker 1: Garth.
Speaker 5: I'm not that old, but I've been to Toronto back
Speaker 5: to back summers. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4: And then you've got that blue In fact, you've got
Speaker 4: Blue Jays jersey Jay's golf shirt. I think there's something here, right.
Speaker 5: I like that Blue Jays because growing up in the
Speaker 5: eighties that that's.
Speaker 4: You had a leaf's hat on when I golf with
Speaker 4: you last time. And no, anyways, I'm starting to like Toronto.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 11: Go.
Speaker 5: Dempko's durability is definitely a concern, so it's an imperative
Speaker 5: that they can land a backup goalie. And again don so,
Speaker 5: let's say a Christmas time demp goes out and we
Speaker 5: don't want this to happen. But he's out four to
Speaker 5: five weeks? Are you are you? Are you telling me
Speaker 5: that your remember Spencer Martin the seven hundred and fifty grand?
Speaker 5: Yeah it did more got so do you want to
Speaker 5: pay another backup eight hundred grand? And then you're gonna
Speaker 5: you're gonna cry because he's not a solid backup like
Speaker 5: Casey the Smith was.
Speaker 4: Is it just me from Phil? But why an't we
Speaker 4: gonna discuss the color of the seats at Rogers Arena?
Speaker 4: Do we have a seat update? And I believe things
Speaker 4: aren't progressing like they should be.
Speaker 1: People tell me I'm too negative. I stop. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll say is.
Speaker 8: I was at Kings of Leon a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 8: and those crap seats are still sitting there.
Speaker 1: Where are pushing thirty years?
Speaker 8: Same seats, season ticket ollers getting jacked up twenty percent.
Speaker 4: But they've improved three or four of them, haven't they.
Speaker 8: They've improved five rowers where Francesco and all his rich
Speaker 8: buddies can sit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are taking care of them, no problem.
Speaker 5: Here's my problem with you. First of all, you don't
Speaker 5: go to Kanuk games. That's one. Two Donnie and I
Speaker 5: have been watching the Canucks since nineteen seventy. We're trying
Speaker 5: to we want to see a Stanley Cup, you know,
Speaker 5: and your the biggest complaint is the seats.
Speaker 8: Because they're literally literally falling apart my kings of Leon seat.
Speaker 1: You watch the games from home, but I go to
Speaker 1: enough concerts.
Speaker 8: I'm in that building way more than you are. It's
Speaker 8: it's back and plus again, when you're going to season
Speaker 8: ticket on going, we would like twenty percent more of
Speaker 8: your money. The season ticket on will goes. Okay, what
Speaker 8: am I getting under that? One of the things they
Speaker 8: were told is brand new seats in that building.
Speaker 5: But you're not a season ticket older and you don't
Speaker 5: go to the game, so you you're complaining more than
Speaker 5: the season ticket older.
Speaker 1: But you should care about this season ticket on. Oh,
Speaker 1: I care about the people.
Speaker 5: You do not stop it?
Speaker 4: Well, you see the problem is and we've talked about
Speaker 4: this before, is it Rick and I come from the
Speaker 4: be happy with the wooden bench?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and yes.
Speaker 8: Time I have to explain to you too that your
Speaker 8: tickets are three dollars and seventy five cents. When you
Speaker 8: got doing that, the Leaf's tickets, it's it's I think
Speaker 8: the cheapest ticket to go see the leafs canocks in
Speaker 8: your seat, it's like three fifty bucks.
Speaker 4: No here, oh here here the leaf seats Like.
Speaker 8: Tickets have never been more expensive, and they want you
Speaker 8: to sit on these things that are thirty years old.
Speaker 1: You've had millions of people go through the arena. It's gross.
Speaker 4: It's to me, it's there are some aspect of your argument.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 5: Respect Yeah, get it.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's just stopping. Okay, you know what you're off
Speaker 4: today as well. Okay, but I'm there to see the
Speaker 4: sporting event or the content, you know.
Speaker 6: That's what I think.
Speaker 5: Hey, and these people that went to watch the lines
Speaker 5: in Victoria, did you see one tweet if anybody in
Speaker 5: Victoria complaining about the seats? You know what, you're the
Speaker 5: only guy. You're the only guy I know that complains
Speaker 5: about the seats.
Speaker 4: We gotta we got we gotta move on. I'm sure
