Speaker 1: Check podcasts.
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to the Donnie and Dolly podcast. Catch
Speaker 2: the show Monday through Friday, 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 4: And the man wearing Dennis Curran's old number six makes
Speaker 4: it too nothing With John Taylor, I was just gonna
Speaker 4: say underrated egg, deviled egg and Rick Dolly Wall.
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna go on the couch at eight o'clock tonight,
Speaker 1: sits down and let's put it in gears.
Speaker 2: Donnie and Dolly.
Speaker 4: Ten o'clock in downtown Vancouver from the Paul Carson Studio.
Speaker 1: Thanks for tuning in, folks.
Speaker 4: It's Donnie and Dolly the team on Check. Don Taylor,
Speaker 4: along with Rick Dolly weall. Ryan Henderson is our producer.
Speaker 4: He's the man that controls our director. The voice of
Speaker 4: God is Derek One.
Speaker 1: How are you, Oh, couldn't be better? Better than Zach Hyman?
Speaker 1: Oh Man, that's bad news. Feel for the guy.
Speaker 4: He had surgery. We assume it's on his right arm.
Speaker 4: He has had surgery. We saw him get hit yesterday
Speaker 4: by Mason Marchmant in the NHL's Western Conference Final. He
Speaker 4: went off, and it was one of those moments when
Speaker 4: it looked like an innocent hit, but you could tell
Speaker 4: by his immediate reaction that there was a big, big problem.
Speaker 4: He left and didn't return and was you know, he
Speaker 4: was on the bench without his equipment, on civilian clothes
Speaker 4: if you want to call them that, at the end
Speaker 4: of the game. So it looks like he's done for
Speaker 4: the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And Donnie's on his wrist. The surgery's on his wrist.
Speaker 1: I thought it was shoulder when I first saw, and
Speaker 1: then I found out this morning it's the wrist. This
Speaker 1: guy had ten hits Donnie last game.
Speaker 4: He's leading the NHL playoffs and hits. And I don't
Speaker 4: necessarily think of Zach Hymen as somebody who does that
Speaker 4: a whole lot, but that just shows you the level
Speaker 4: players go to when it comes to the state like
Speaker 4: a playoffs.
Speaker 1: Two goals won his last game, ten hits. I love
Speaker 1: this guy. What a great signing by the owners. When
Speaker 1: he was a free Asian, Canucks were in on him,
Speaker 1: they didn't have the cap space to get him, but
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, boy, he's been absolutely a great find
Speaker 1: for the Orders since they signed him out of Toronto.
Speaker 4: And you feel bad for him, no matter how much
Speaker 4: money he makes the famously or infamously, no matter how
Speaker 4: much money his dad has. You know, you're trying to
Speaker 4: win your first ever Stanley Cup title. Looks like he's
Speaker 4: and then is still might win, of course, and he
Speaker 4: would still get ring, but nothing like being there having
Speaker 4: taken part in the deciding game of the Stanley Cup Final.
Speaker 4: Inf indeed, they get there, but Zach him looks like
Speaker 4: he's done, done for the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Massive loss, massive loss for the Orders.
Speaker 4: So the Oilers win last night, for one. There's a
Speaker 4: lot of stories coming out of that game. Obviously, the
Speaker 4: big one today is Zach Hyman. But Burnaby's Ryan Nugent
Speaker 4: Hopkins a couple of assists, he has nine points, one
Speaker 4: of the most underrated players in the National Hockey League.
Speaker 4: Nine points in this series, maybe an outside shot at
Speaker 4: winning a cons My Trophy. Who knows. I'll tell you
Speaker 4: another story talk about the cons My Trophy. Miko ran
Speaker 4: It looks like he was gonna run away with it,
Speaker 4: but a week or two ago he hasn't scored in
Speaker 4: seven games as a couple of assists. I know this
Speaker 4: is unpopular and a lot of people will will think
Speaker 4: I'm out to lunch. I don't know about his effort level.
Speaker 4: I just watch them close that I don't I don't
Speaker 4: know if it's and you talk to the people in Carolina,
Speaker 4: they would probably agree with me. His effort level there
Speaker 4: was in question, and certainly people in Colorado would laugh
Speaker 4: given what he'd done did there and what he did
Speaker 4: against the Avalanche. This in these playoffs, But just.
Speaker 1: Just watch them, and Donnie, this is the playoffs, this
Speaker 1: is the final four. The intensity and the compete level
Speaker 1: goes up tenfold. If he's not competing hard, that's not
Speaker 1: good news for Dallas.
Speaker 4: Corey Perry's forty years old. One goal and one assist
Speaker 4: last night for the Orders. Like I say, folks, a
Speaker 4: lot of storylines out of that game last night. He's
Speaker 4: one of the few remaining NHLs from the legendary two
Speaker 4: thousand and three NHL Entry Draft, just chock full of
Speaker 4: players in every round pretty much that had great careers
Speaker 4: in the National Hockey League and Corey Perry front and center.
Speaker 4: And I can say one of the few players left
Speaker 4: from that, Brent Burns is still around playing for Carolina,
Speaker 4: but he's fifth all time from that draft in points.
Speaker 4: You know who's number one from that draft? I wouldn't
Speaker 4: have guessed it. Joe Pavelski, He's number one, follow by
Speaker 4: Eric Stahll, patrese Berg Roan and Perry's longtime Ducks teammate
Speaker 4: Ryan Getz left. Ryan Kesler was part of that draft.
Speaker 1: Great draft, first draft that was one of the best
Speaker 1: all time. The first round was, as you say, but
Speaker 1: Corey Perry, is there anybody better around the front of
Speaker 1: the net? Down? Look at the power play goalie scored?
Speaker 1: Where was he front of the net? Every time?
Speaker 4: That was a great play by Ryan?
Speaker 1: It was it was New Chenopolis. But Corey Perry. Is
Speaker 1: there a sharper, smarter guy around the net than Corey Perry?
Speaker 1: And he's forty he's sold.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And getting back to that O three draft, you
Speaker 4: know again, I could look at hockey database with my
Speaker 4: hair on fire. Yeah, for twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: Ryan Kestler, I just mentioned him fourteenth in points, right,
Speaker 4: just mentioned Corey Perry fifteen points from that two thousand
Speaker 4: and three draft, two spots ahead of Ryan Kessler. I
Speaker 4: wouldn't have guessed this. Louis Erickson, Oh, Louis, his career
Speaker 4: was pretty good until until he got to Vancouver. Then
Speaker 4: he got to Vancouver at the airport and somebody stole
Speaker 4: his hands and made it made and his legs too
Speaker 4: and everything else. But what a performance by him. And
Speaker 4: tonight Florida with another opportunity to eliminate the Carolina Hurricanes.
Speaker 4: So it's Florida at Carolina tonight, three to one for
Speaker 4: the Panthers. And did you mention this? They're getting a
Speaker 4: whole bunch of players back. Then. Rhinehart for one, is.
Speaker 1: Ryan Art's back. They're getting all three guys that missed
Speaker 1: the career is back as well. Yeah, Sam, rhine Art's huge,
Speaker 1: He's such an important piece for Florida. He's back tonight,
Speaker 1: Paul Maurice reported.
Speaker 4: But as somebody doing a talk show, just loved that
Speaker 4: game last night with all those story lines and a
Speaker 4: lot of them, you know, Vancouver related.
Speaker 1: Did we Vacilly put Coles? Oh?
Speaker 4: I mean I had eight hits last night. I noticed
Speaker 4: him every time he was on the ice physical and
Speaker 4: close to thirteen minutes of ice time he crossed the
Speaker 4: blue line once done last night with authority, went to
Speaker 4: the middle of the ice.
Speaker 1: Where was this Vacilly pud Colson a Vancouver Well, different role.
Speaker 4: I guess when you're picked that you know the team
Speaker 4: that picks you tenth overall expects a whole lot from
Speaker 4: you offensively, So different role there. And I've said this before,
Speaker 4: I have respect for guys like that who come into
Speaker 4: the league with big expectations offensively and realize and maybe
Speaker 4: it takes a trade or two to get there, that
Speaker 4: they have to change their game. And you know, he's
Speaker 4: staying in the NHL. He's not playing Tom six and
Speaker 4: that in that team. I think I noticed him. He
Speaker 4: looks like a bullet out there hitting people, and nothing
Speaker 4: wrong with the way he's playing.
Speaker 1: Good for him. He's a really good guy and as
Speaker 1: Bob Stafford told us, they love him. They love Pod
Speaker 1: Colson in Edmonton.
Speaker 4: But I don't think it would have I mean, for
Speaker 4: people who want to criticize the Cannucks, and lord knows,
Speaker 4: you know we do that, but it wouldn't have happened here.
Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think it would have happened here.
Speaker 4: Speaking of the Cannucks, Abbotsford Cannucks, they host the Texas Stars,
Speaker 4: Dallas's farm team games one and two AHL Western Conference
Speaker 4: Final Thursday and Saturday in Abbotsford. And you know what, Rick,
Speaker 4: I was doing some thinking, Yeah, am I crazy here?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: Well, I think you're gonna think I am head coach
Speaker 4: of the Abbotsford Cannucks.
Speaker 1: Manny mahold Yeah, many doing a great job.
Speaker 4: He worked for the Leafs under Kyle Dubas. Oh yeah, right,
Speaker 4: as an assistant coach. Apparently their buddies. Hey, who's Kyle
Speaker 4: in charge of right now? Pittsburgh Penguins. Do the Penguins
Speaker 4: have a coach?
Speaker 1: No? What do you say?
Speaker 4: I'm well, I'm just I'm just throwing it out there.
Speaker 4: You know, they haven't or maybe as an assistant coach.
Speaker 1: They haven't named the coach yet in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: I just, I just I my mind goes to some
Speaker 4: strange places and Manny Maholter in Pittsburgh is that a possibility?
Speaker 4: Will that be a regret for the Canucks and.
Speaker 1: Against Adam Foot. I've heard that there's a good relationship
Speaker 1: there between Manny Maholter and Kyle Duban. So I thought
Speaker 1: before show you thought it was crazy. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: I didn't say that, but I'm saying in Carbury too,
Speaker 1: all three of those guys were in Toronto together, you know.
Speaker 4: But you know what's one of the things that gets
Speaker 4: you a job. Obviously, performance gets your job with the
Speaker 4: National Hockey Hockey gets your job anywhere. It's relationships. Who
Speaker 4: you worked with before.
Speaker 1: Who do you know? Who you know? Who do you know?
Speaker 1: Who do you know?
Speaker 4: I just thought i'd throw that out there, speaking of Mike.
Speaker 4: So you had a problem with this, We've got the shot.
Speaker 4: I didn't have a by Ryan. Mike Sullivan, former head
Speaker 4: coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins, won a couple of Cups
Speaker 4: with the Penguins. He bought a billboard in Pittsburgh thanking
Speaker 4: Penguins fans. We got the shot here right there, you go,
Speaker 4: thank you, Pittsburgh Cup family is forever Mike Sullivan. What
Speaker 4: a classy move. And you were wondering why what Rick
Speaker 4: Talkett didn't buy one? You know, second talking. The only
Speaker 4: ways that we want to show this is because you
Speaker 4: were going, I didn't talk it.
Speaker 1: Do this well. I didn't say that, but what I
Speaker 1: said is right, help me out here. I didn't say that.
Speaker 5: I said it was something along the lines that wouldn't
Speaker 5: have hurt talking.
Speaker 1: Nah, I didn't say that. Go put that back up.
Speaker 1: I want to give a little bit more uh praise,
Speaker 1: praise in love for this guy. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I googled how much is a billboard in PITTSB twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred a busy morning? Give her take twenty five
Speaker 1: hundred to put that billboard up? Twenty five hundred? How long?
Speaker 4: For how long?
Speaker 1: That? I don't know. Is it twenty five hundred a
Speaker 1: day or just twenty five hundred for the month. You
Speaker 1: did the research, it says twenty five hundred for billboard
Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: Trust me, Rick, I was not googling how much does
Speaker 4: it cost for a.
Speaker 1: Bill I did igled how much? So what is it
Speaker 1: for a week or a month? I'll do more research.
Speaker 1: Very nice get back to me. Very nice gesture by
Speaker 1: Mike Sullivan. H he won two cups in Pittsburgh and
Speaker 1: he wanted to thank the people of Pittsburgh. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: take a newspaper article out and you know a whole page.
Speaker 4: Well that those days are done. I think, why, well,
Speaker 4: if you do take out a newspaper page five people
Speaker 4: are going to see it.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, wow, why you from the newspaper industry.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Legacy got friends in the newspaper industry.
Speaker 4: No, but I realized this just then. Newspapers have made
Speaker 4: the move to websites still just so you know, Okay,
Speaker 4: when's the last time you read a paper?
Speaker 1: But five? No? No, wrong?
Speaker 5: Every week newspaper. Every week. I read the Langley Events.
Speaker 1: I do. I like to stay with what's happening in
Speaker 1: my neighborhood.
Speaker 4: Anybody with a thank you message to people.
Speaker 5: Know a lot of obituaries, but other than that, not much.
Speaker 5: I haven't read a newspaper in fifteen years. But listen,
Speaker 5: they are important. We got friends with the province. You
Speaker 5: got Paul Chapman, a good pal of ours.
Speaker 1: They're taking it okay.
Speaker 4: But the old days, you take out a page thanking
Speaker 4: people or whatever, congratulating somebody. A lot of people saw it.
Speaker 4: Now not so much.
Speaker 5: It's really too bad because that was one of the
Speaker 5: big pluses.
Speaker 4: You can still no, but you can still do it
Speaker 4: on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not the same.
Speaker 5: Something commemorative like that, Like I've got a ton of
Speaker 5: old newspapers, big things like you know, playoff.
Speaker 1: Run around. I'm just gonna say, remember the posters in
Speaker 1: the nineties. My parents had every one of them on
Speaker 1: our wall in the basement.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, No, I mean somebody recently just won a
Speaker 5: championship and they hand it out like the commemorative newspaper.
Speaker 5: It might have been Philly actually with the Eagles the
Speaker 5: Commandment commemorative newspapers.
Speaker 1: Somebody said, you know, there's still nothing like having that.
Speaker 5: It said, like, you know, Philadelphia Inquirer, Eagles win, big
Speaker 5: photo and everything.
Speaker 4: My wife works at a high school at Archbishop Carney
Speaker 4: in Port Coquila. Last week, she says to me, or
Speaker 4: two weeks ago whenever it was when we had the
Speaker 4: talk at interview, she says, do you realize you guys
Speaker 4: are in the front page of the province. I mean
Speaker 4: a big deal about your Rick Talcket interview on the
Speaker 4: front page of the province. They get it delivered every day.
Speaker 1: How desperate are they forgot in?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that high school gets it delivered every day.
Speaker 1: In the eighties, a little Ricky used to wait at
Speaker 1: three thirty every day for the newspaper. Got Kurt to
Speaker 1: tow the paper and he would throw it. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: come in put it everybody. No, it was a big
Speaker 1: part of my day. Did you guys ever deliver newspaper?
Speaker 5: Ye?
Speaker 4: My brother was a sub manager Bingo in North Burnaby,
Speaker 4: and there used to be This is going to sound crazy.
Speaker 4: Do you remember the paper shack.
Speaker 1: No, I don't remember paper shock.
Speaker 4: With the paper we would the people who the kids
Speaker 4: who delivered the papers would wait for the truck to
Speaker 4: come drop off the papers at the paper shack. My
Speaker 4: brother ran the thing. That's how I got the job.
Speaker 4: And then you go about delivering papers to people. And
Speaker 4: then when it was collection day, this is just like
Speaker 4: like what would this is right up there with billets.
Speaker 4: You know, you're like at thirteen, fourteen year old kid
Speaker 4: going around people's houses collecting money.
Speaker 1: Five bucks whatever.
Speaker 4: But I mean somebody could have easily rolled me. Oh like,
Speaker 4: I mean like, oh, I'm collecting money.
Speaker 1: Door to door.
Speaker 4: Yeah, some people shoving, you know, they're slamming the door
Speaker 4: on my face. It was just it's just a different world.
Speaker 4: But the paper shack it existed.
Speaker 1: No, we just had a green box that put the
Speaker 1: papers in that way. That was a different air of
Speaker 1: the green box in the eighties, the pay better back then.
Speaker 1: Papers were a massive part of the seventh and eighties
Speaker 1: and everyone would get now everyone's just in their own self. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you lead the way and googling stuff twenty four
Speaker 1: seven billboards and Pittsburgh. It's just not good. Get the
Speaker 1: papers back. Let's support these guys.

Speaker 8: Baseball is what got me to sports writing and journalism,
Speaker 8: A little trip to every major league ballpark in the

Speaker 8: and all that stuff. What I really want to know, though,
Speaker 8: is whether Rick's gonna run the bases on Saturday with

Speaker 4: Of happening, well, whole lot of seick ken. Before we
Speaker 4: go any further, you take that trip, which park stood
Speaker 4: out for the best, which for the worst?
Speaker 3: I met Ferguson Jenkins.
Speaker 8: He was a pitching coach for the Cup at the times,
Speaker 8: obviously at the time, the only Canadian in the Hall
Speaker 8: of Fame. On my I guess second stop, first stop,
Speaker 8: when you do a trip like that, has to be
Speaker 8: like cliche and all feel the dreams. That's where I
Speaker 8: went first, Then Milwaukee, then down to Chicago and met
Speaker 8: Ferguson Jenkins outside of a Cobs game after and bought
Speaker 8: him a beer at a pop just kitty corner off
Speaker 8: the sort of right field corner of Wrigley Field and
Speaker 8: have a signed ball up back in the office here
Speaker 8: from him and that and that was actually kind of
Speaker 8: it was kind of clicked there that like, hey, people
Speaker 8: actually get paid to watch sports and write about it.
Speaker 8: I met a writer from the Tribune at.
Speaker 4: The time, and here we are, And did anything stand
Speaker 4: out from a negative point of view?
Speaker 3: No, no, I can't. I don't remember positives from that
Speaker 3: long ago.
Speaker 8: I got to watch the Red Sox clinch the pennant
Speaker 8: that year, and because I was doing this solo, I
Speaker 8: got to get these great seats all over the place
Speaker 8: and I was, if I remember Cracker, like eight rows
Speaker 8: up behind home plate when they clinched the pennant that year,
Speaker 8: and that was a party, uh to enjoy.
Speaker 1: We're jealous. You only focus on the positive? Is what
Speaker 1: are you doing in the media, Kevin, Yeah, we're not.
Speaker 8: All negative, right, Like, come on, the truth is that
Speaker 8: was a long time ago.
Speaker 3: I can't remember anything.
Speaker 8: I'm sure, Like I lived in my car for three months.
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure there were some tough times, but we
Speaker 8: made her through.
Speaker 4: Let's talk hockey. How to explain the ups and downs?
Speaker 8: Stuart Skinner, I would explain it in part through the
Speaker 8: ups and downs of his team in front of them.
Speaker 8: I mean they that first game in LA was worse
Speaker 8: than any single game they played defensively of their entire
Speaker 8: Stanley Cup playoff run last season to the Cup final.
Speaker 8: In Game seven, like fourteen high dayjer chances against almost
Speaker 8: five expected goals against. Like they're not built for their
Speaker 8: goaltender to have to bail them out playing loose defensive hockey,
Speaker 8: and they did in those first two games and so
Speaker 8: outcomes do incomes Calvin Pickard, who, to be honest, the
Speaker 8: Oilers have played better for defensively all season long. Like
Speaker 8: the numbers in terms of environment are there's a huge discrepancy.
Speaker 8: It's the same team, but they play totally different between
Speaker 8: those two goaltenders. So Pickard comes in, they play better defensively,
Speaker 8: they re established that game and by the time Stu
Speaker 8: gets back in the Vegas series, they're they're playing that
Speaker 8: way in on an every night basis. There's been a
Speaker 8: few blips, and I think the biggest thing for Stuart
Speaker 8: Skinner and listen, this is like full credit to him,
Speaker 8: like the pressure he's under, the spotlight that came with
Speaker 8: losing the job and all those things, he's managed to
Speaker 8: sort of re establish his game. And the strengths of
Speaker 8: his game are in zone, point to point, spot to
Speaker 8: spot goaltending. It's when you get him off the run
Speaker 8: rush that you have problems. Since he came back in
Speaker 8: let's say, actually not the first game against Vegas. He
Speaker 8: came backward from game four the Vegas series, So that's
Speaker 8: six games since they have given up ten high danger
Speaker 8: chances off the rush ten and only one of those
Speaker 8: was East West made him move side to side in
Speaker 8: six games. Six of them came in Game one against Dallas,
Speaker 8: and you saw what happen in terms of the score.
Speaker 8: So when they keep it clean off the rush in
Speaker 8: front of him, they allow him to play to his strengths.
Speaker 8: And against Vegas and Dallas, two of the best rush
Speaker 8: teams in hockey this year, they have absolutely shut down
Speaker 8: anything they've been able to generate off the rush. Nothing
Speaker 8: high danger. Last night it was all mid and low
Speaker 8: when they did get it off the rush. Stusa made
Speaker 8: some adjustments in his game. He's not getting caught way
Speaker 8: out of his crease on those rush chances. But for
Speaker 8: the most part, they're just not giving up the most
Speaker 8: dangerous types of rush chances like they were early in
Speaker 8: the playoffs, which kind of go away from the strengths
Speaker 8: of his game.
Speaker 1: He was a lot of your demp Go talk. You know,
Speaker 1: he's apparently on a trade board and everyone thinks he's
Speaker 1: being traded. But I don't know how you could trade
Speaker 1: the guy when they haven't even talked contract with his
Speaker 1: agent about possibly extending him. What's your feel about Dempko
Speaker 1: in his future in Vancouver? Well, I think.
Speaker 8: Both sides can say they want something to happen, but
Speaker 8: it's going to depend on what that number is. And
Speaker 8: I think Jim Rudtherfford said it like there's risk both ways.
Speaker 8: There's risk to the Canucks if they commit long term
Speaker 8: and big dollar for a goalie that has has had
Speaker 8: difficulties staying healthy, although by all accounts has sort of
Speaker 8: passed this injury as unique as it was. And there's
Speaker 8: risk on demp go side if you play this year out. Listen,
Speaker 8: if he plays this year out, is healthy, he plays
Speaker 8: forty to forty five games and plays at the level
Speaker 8: he did two years ago, like he's looking at Jeremy
Speaker 8: swam in numbers, like he's looking at the contract that
Speaker 8: everybody else has gotten as established, you know, high level
Speaker 8: number one goaltenders Jay Gottinger eight million.
Speaker 3: But if he comes back and has another season where
Speaker 3: he's not.
Speaker 8: Healthy or struggles to stay healthy, then what does that
Speaker 8: contract look like for him as an unrestricted free agent
Speaker 8: the next year? And so there's risk for him of
Speaker 8: playing out the season and having another injury plague year.
Speaker 8: And it's where the two sides come out on who
Speaker 8: wants to take what risk? Right, Like if them go's
Speaker 8: willing to play for less than that Swim and Ottinger ticket,
Speaker 8: then maybe there's a chance this happens. If the Canucks
Speaker 8: are willing to go to his to that type of number,
Speaker 8: which I don't think they would be considering what they've
Speaker 8: got lankin and signed for. Like it's all gonna come
Speaker 8: down to the number and who's willing to accept what
Speaker 8: amount of risk, and if it's clear it's not gonna happen,
Speaker 8: and that his camp and I have no idea whether
Speaker 8: they would be or not, sees that potential for him
Speaker 8: getting paid like the rest of the elite number ones
Speaker 8: in the NHL, and is willing to accept the risk
Speaker 8: of next season, then I as much as they're a
Speaker 8: bargain as a tandem this year, and it makes sense
Speaker 8: to keep him and have two elite goaltenders in a
Speaker 8: year where you're all in as far as you know
Speaker 8: after that, you probably can't afford to have him at
Speaker 8: eight plus and Kevin lankn In at four and a half.
Speaker 3: So it's be interesting.
Speaker 8: I'm as fascinated as everyone to see how this negotiation goes,
Speaker 8: because it's really easy.
Speaker 3: To say I want to be back. We want him back.
Speaker 8: It's sometimes a lot more difficult to find what that
Speaker 8: number is going to look like to make it happen.
Speaker 1: And then the another piece of the puzzle is where
Speaker 1: does Sealovs fit. He's a big reason why Absperd's in
Speaker 1: the Western Conference Final against Texas. He's been great in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but he was great in the playoffs last
Speaker 1: year and then he struggled in the NHL. What's his
Speaker 1: future look like for you?
Speaker 8: Well, I mean to me, archeurs like he's showing what
Speaker 8: he can do at the national hockey level on both
Speaker 8: sides of it, right, Like, I think one of the
Speaker 8: hardest things that happens to a young goaltender is in
Speaker 8: the playoffs, your game gets broken down to the end degree,
Speaker 8: like in a way that it never happens in the
Speaker 8: regular season. And so the Oilers went to school on
Speaker 8: some habits he has on distant shots and traffic and
Speaker 8: traffic like he's not alone, like goalies will tell you
Speaker 8: it's so purposeful. Look at Connor Hellibuck when the screen
Speaker 8: numbers went up in the playoffs over the last two
Speaker 8: seasons and how.
Speaker 3: Much he struggled with it. Young goalies adjusting the NHL traffic.
Speaker 8: It's one of the toughest things they have to do,
Speaker 8: and unfortunately for our tours, that book got written as
Speaker 8: that series went on, and then he comes into this
Speaker 8: year's playoffs or this year's regular season. I can tell
Speaker 8: you that the Calgary Flames specifically had it outlined in
Speaker 8: their pre scout in terms of how they were going
Speaker 8: to attack him, and so it's one more thing that
Speaker 8: he had to figure out maybe faster, or teams were
Speaker 8: attacking more pointedly on him than they would have if
Speaker 8: he hadn't had that run in the playoffs last year.
Speaker 8: In terms of how much he figures it out, Listen like,
Speaker 8: it takes time. There are some tracking habits that I
Speaker 8: think I've seen signs of improvement.
Speaker 3: But the question is, like, do you.
Speaker 8: See the Vancouver Canucks, as much as they are all
Speaker 8: in on needing to win this season, in the next
Speaker 8: two seasons going into a year where Archer she loves
Speaker 8: is locked into a job in the National Hockey League
Speaker 8: as good as he's been in the playoffs, and even
Speaker 8: if those improvements are made, do you see any way
Speaker 8: that they lock him in as one of their NHL goaltenders,
Speaker 8: just given how last season went for him at the
Speaker 8: NHL level, I struggle to see that. I think he's
Speaker 8: perfectly set as a number three for you, and if
Speaker 8: he continues to evolve, and let's not forget like early
Speaker 8: in his career he basically lost two years of development
Speaker 8: to the pandemic and their inability to find him.
Speaker 3: A place to play during those two years.
Speaker 8: So you know he's playing some catch up now. On
Speaker 8: the game's played side, there's lots of skill, there's lots
Speaker 8: of talent, there's clear athleticism and interestingly enough, I'll pull
Speaker 8: out the props justin Pogey. I know the goalie coach
Speaker 8: in Abbasford. I hear tons of great things about when
Speaker 8: we talk about tracking and how archers tracks, diss and shots.
Speaker 8: I saw in one of the games after he came
Speaker 8: back up against Utah really staying over pucks and his
Speaker 8: tendency is to sort of pull off them and make
Speaker 8: saves and turn his head and sort of make saves
Speaker 8: back here, especially on the blocker side from distance. And
Speaker 8: one of the tools that I talk to our tours
Speaker 8: about them using, and I've been around the abos Ford heat.
Speaker 3: To know how much they're using it. But these things
Speaker 3: ooh oh, fancy goggles track optics.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 8: So somebody I know works with these, and so essentially
Speaker 8: what it does is it forces it. If you want
Speaker 8: to see the puck, you have to use binocular vision,
Speaker 8: and it keeps you down and on the puck and
Speaker 8: cutting off pucks in front of you rather than that
Speaker 8: tendency to pull off of them. And that's one of
Speaker 8: the tendencies that we've seen in his game, and I
Speaker 8: know he's used them. I'm not sure you know, honestly
Speaker 8: how much of a difference it's made, but you know,
Speaker 8: sometimes little things and new philosophies can help sort of
Speaker 8: find another level, and our tours seems to have founded here.
Speaker 8: I still don't think it changes, honestly, their plans for
Speaker 8: next season with him. I know he requires waivers, and
Speaker 8: even if he wins a Calder Cup this year, I
Speaker 8: don't know that he's a guy that teams are going
Speaker 8: out and claiming off waivers, because if you claim a guy,
Speaker 8: you got to keep him in the NHL. So I
Speaker 8: think he stays here as a three, and I think
Speaker 8: that's as much as it's not what he wants and
Speaker 8: as much as is an expensive three.
Speaker 3: On a one way contract.
Speaker 8: It's a pretty good guy to have as an insurance policy,
Speaker 8: as we saw last year.
Speaker 1: When does the next terminator come out? Kevin?
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I'm clearly like trying to get apart.
Speaker 1: You're ready to go. You're ready to go, and listen.
Speaker 8: I play hockey a couple times a week against guys
Speaker 8: up to much better levels than I, and I pull
Speaker 8: these out for warm ups, and trust me, I get
Speaker 8: chirped to the.
Speaker 3: But listen. Some guy named Dustin Wolf uses them religiously.
Speaker 3: They use them in Calgary. Freddy Anderson uses them.
Speaker 8: I've got about eight or nine guys around the league
Speaker 8: that are using the They really sort of set your
Speaker 8: tracking in your head position for optimal tracking, and so
Speaker 8: I was encouraged to hear that they're being pulled out
Speaker 8: every once.
Speaker 3: In a while down in Abbotsford.
Speaker 4: Quick use the big words, Kevin. We're not that type
Speaker 4: type of show. You gotta dumb it down for us.
Speaker 4: They work, bottom line.
Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, well, I mean my performances at Monday night
Speaker 8: hockey being the exception.
Speaker 1: Yeah, being harder than yourself, Kevin, Thanks for that. I
Speaker 1: appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Thanks guys.
Speaker 4: You bet Kevin Woodley NHL dot com in Goal Magazine.
Speaker 4: We didn't talk about I want to talk about Sergei Brabrowski.
Speaker 1: We ran out of time there.
Speaker 4: But yeah, uh, kind of a second level I would say,
Speaker 4: maybe maybe not second level cons my candidate. Oh, he's
Speaker 4: been great, he's been he's been really good obviously. Uh,
Speaker 4: Kevin Woodley, we thank him.
Speaker 1: Pole question.
Speaker 4: We'll introduce it next. It has to do with goaltending

Speaker 4: enjoy twenty taps, twenty screens. You're on for the conduction
Speaker 4: UFC com sit and stay at the Dog Today.
Speaker 1: Ryan, get her up The Watling Dog. Pop pop questions
Speaker 1: that your Demko is entering the final year of his contract.
Speaker 1: What should the Canucks do with him? Should you trade
Speaker 1: him or extend them? Sixty three percent very surprised? Trade
Speaker 1: him and extend him at thirty seven over seven hundred votes.
Speaker 1: Ready happen, It's possible. Why would you be surprised at that?
Speaker 1: I just think that, look before you write them off.
Speaker 1: There's risk with the injuries, but there is also a
Speaker 1: possibility he returns to his old Veszna form. You trade
Speaker 1: him and he becomes a Vesna candidate again somewhere else.
Speaker 1: Then you're going to kick yourself and say, damn, we
Speaker 1: shouldn't have traded him. That's why depends on what you
Speaker 1: get in return.
Speaker 4: So the Cannucks go on and on, and Jim Rutherford
Speaker 4: has said he's going to try to get a top
Speaker 4: six forward.
Speaker 1: Or two or three. Yeah, through a trade. Well, what
Speaker 1: are you trading? What are you trading?
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe somebody who's been a Ves' A finalist in
Speaker 4: the past. You got to give up something, Okay, And
Speaker 4: given his injury history, I think it's risky. It's risky
Speaker 4: to trade him, it's risky to keep him. I think
Speaker 4: most Connuck fans, well, look at look at the results,
Speaker 4: we would agree with Ay, it's at the very least
Speaker 4: you have to contemplate it.
Speaker 1: Yep. But Donnie, this last twenty four forty eight hours,
Speaker 1: I'm not hearing the first choice by the cannuckstis to
Speaker 1: trade Demko.
Speaker 4: Don Well, that doesn't mean it's right.
Speaker 1: Despite him being on a trade board. The Canucks need
Speaker 1: to find out what his next contract is going to
Speaker 1: look like, don before they think of trading them. And
Speaker 1: they should find out before the NHL Draft contract what
Speaker 1: Demko is looking for. Don If he wants too much
Speaker 1: term and money, yeah, okay, see you later buy. But
Speaker 1: from what I'm told, Demko likes playing to Vancouver. He
Speaker 1: wants to win here. There's some UFAs that want to
Speaker 1: leave Vancouver. I'm not hearing he's one of them, But.
Speaker 4: That doesn't mean you shouldn't trade him.
Speaker 1: Right You got to find out first what he wants
Speaker 1: on a contract on before you go and try it.
Speaker 4: But you can't go and say we need forwards to
Speaker 4: we need top six forwards. They got drafted and then
Speaker 4: then when are you gonna give up a third round?
Speaker 1: Karvaki? Well ander first they said they wanted three.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well so I'm not I'm not saying it has
Speaker 4: to be thatcheredwn, but I think you have to contemplator
Speaker 4: think about it.
Speaker 1: But if the team and the player want a deal done,
Speaker 1: then try and get some common ground. Who knows they
Speaker 1: might find common ground. We don't know that. And by
Speaker 1: the way, I'm told the demp Goo is healthy. There's
Speaker 1: no issues. He should have hurt that before. Yes, up
Speaker 1: this time last year he wasn't. But right now I'm
Speaker 1: hearing there should be no issues with him having a
Speaker 1: normal summer. He didn't have a normal summer last year,
Speaker 1: but I'm not hearing he's not going to have a
Speaker 1: normal summer and a normal right now.
Speaker 4: Trains are two different things. If the Cannucks believed in
Speaker 4: him so much. Why did they sign Kevin lancoln until
Speaker 4: a multi year deal.
Speaker 1: Well, because he was going to what he was going to.
Speaker 1: But the Canucks are also the team that a year
Speaker 1: ago panicked and they called Casey Smith's agent at the
Speaker 1: draft to Smith, Casey de Smith, Casey Smith, who's case Okay? Anyways,
Speaker 1: Casey de Smith, Donnie they called his agent because the
Speaker 1: demp Go wasn't on the ice yet at the draft.
Speaker 1: So they've been all over the map too. I'm so
Speaker 1: protect about that. I'm not protected. I just think that
Speaker 1: the people are jumping the gun on a demp Go trade.
Speaker 1: Let them talk contract, let them figure it out. If
Speaker 1: they can't come to terms on a deal, yeah, go ahead,
Speaker 1: move them. But I think there's a process, and the
Speaker 1: process starts with trying to figure out a deal.
Speaker 4: But given his history with injuries, I mean leaving games,
Speaker 4: you know, after a period or two.
Speaker 1: But in the fact, two years ago he was a
Speaker 1: a candidate, don a candidate, one of the top goalies
Speaker 1: in the national hockey teague.
Speaker 4: How about if you read it was that the year
Speaker 4: he played one playoff game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no no question, I'm with you. There's risk,
Speaker 1: No question, there's risk. I think there's risk either way.
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm a Connock fan. Some of them
Speaker 1: don't want to hear this. Maybe the Conducks don't want
Speaker 1: to hear it either. But when you talk about look
Speaker 1: Jim out the first.
Speaker 4: I don't if you've got the clip or not, but
Speaker 4: Jim Outhford said we're going to try and improve our
Speaker 4: team through trades. They don't want to do it through
Speaker 4: the free agent market. Well, you got to give up
Speaker 4: something and you got to amp would be you mentioned
Speaker 4: you're right, like with vlander lequramagine any everything's on the table.
Speaker 1: Everything right, everyone's on the table. But you're saying give
Speaker 1: up Demko. But you're sitting there saying it's a risk
Speaker 1: with injuries. What are you gonna get for a guy
Speaker 1: that's a risk with injuries? Yeah, yeah, no part of
Speaker 1: a package maybe yeah. But they have said, and I
Speaker 1: don't think I was hallucinating that they wanted to improve
Speaker 1: their team through trades. Yeah. I do believe before you
Speaker 1: talk trade with Demko, they are going to talk the
Speaker 1: two sides about a contract to see if they can
Speaker 1: get it done.
Speaker 4: Or you do what I want, You trade Demko for
Speaker 4: picks and prospects and you start that rebuild.
Speaker 1: Stop, which would be the way to go. And then
Speaker 1: you're going to be the guy that drives Quinny Houston
Speaker 1: the airport. Yeah, but you you might make all these
Speaker 1: moves and he might leave anyway. It's the risk, a
Speaker 1: lot of risk with the Canucks these days. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of risk in keeping people. A lot of risk here.
Speaker 1: I get that.
Speaker 4: That's that's and and the people that do a good
Speaker 4: job with risk take they're the ones that are in
Speaker 4: the final for the Stanley Cup Playoffs Memorial Cup. Rick
Speaker 4: Medicine had two unbeaten teams meeting last night in Ramouski.
Speaker 4: So Medicine had over London three to one. So the
Speaker 4: Tigers of Medicine had advanced to Sunday's final for the
Speaker 4: first time since seven Yeah, when they were beaten by Ka.
Speaker 1: Vaginants Giants Pacific Coliseum. Remember the shift by Milan lu Chic,
Speaker 1: You know you remember that. But anyways, Willie d Willie
Speaker 1: Desjardan Donni is on the verge. Well I shouldn't say that,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna wish him luck.
Speaker 4: He's one went away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Western Hockey that he hasn't won a Memorial
Speaker 1: Cup since twenty fourteen. Edmonton. Let's get in there for
Speaker 1: the good dub boys and win that cup.
Speaker 4: Last time. The Medicine had Tigers won the Memorial Cup
Speaker 4: back to back.
Speaker 1: Here Trevan eight, Trevor Lindon with Trevor.
Speaker 4: Lind I think Barry Melrose was their coach for the
Speaker 4: second year.
Speaker 1: West Walls. Neil Brady was there. Trevor Lindon was the
Speaker 1: reason they won those cops.
Speaker 4: He was great, certainly the second one were number nine,
Speaker 4: not number sixteen.
Speaker 1: And they came to Bank and then he came to Vancouver.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he couldn't get nine when he was I think
Speaker 4: Tony Candy had it, so he wore sixteen because he
Speaker 4: was a big Bobby Clark fan. But Trevor Linton want
Speaker 4: an outstanding junior, fine outstanding NHL players.
Speaker 1: We will never forget the day he arrived in Vancouver
Speaker 1: and his great career here. Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 4: It was those old nineteen eighties yellow uniforms.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right after and you're quiet today, what's going on?
Speaker 1: We're just reminiscing about the eighties. H eighties. It's the
Speaker 1: worst decade in the world for you. It's the best
Speaker 1: decade in the world for me.
Speaker 5: Uh, this is from JJ and new West the Landy's okay,
Speaker 5: tiring Laney the and Audogrov inbox. I would just love
Speaker 5: to hear how Rick would improve the Canucks. He doesn't
Speaker 5: want to move anyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, hold it a second, hold of a second,
Speaker 1: if if, if you can sign the guy, you're gonna
Speaker 1: try and so you so you guys don't want Dempko
Speaker 1: and Lanking it as a one to combo.
Speaker 4: Next year if they were close. Yeah, but Rick, who?
Speaker 4: So who are they trading?
Speaker 1: Jim Rotherford has said they're gonna make a trade, right
Speaker 1: the guy they got the first pick, take a trade,
Speaker 1: they can trade. Okay, I'd rather.
Speaker 9: Trade and a second over the first pickold, hold hold on, No,
Speaker 9: if that guy goes and becomes a Vezna Trophy winner
Speaker 9: again somewhere else, it's gonna be all, oh my goodness,
Speaker 9: we traded thatcher.
Speaker 1: He became great again.
Speaker 4: But if you keep him and he continues getting injured
Speaker 4: left and right, there's a risk thereout.
Speaker 5: That we talked about this earlier. Anyway, You know, people
Speaker 5: keep throwing around this first round pick. First of all,
Speaker 5: it's fifteenth overall it's literally in the middle, So what's
Speaker 5: your point. Second, every draft person we talked to talks
Speaker 5: about how weak this draft is. So if the draft
Speaker 5: is weak, then how does the fifteenth to ride all
Speaker 5: this value?
Speaker 1: How do you build teams through the draft? They didn't
Speaker 1: have a first, second, or third last year, so don't trade.
Speaker 5: But I'm saying as an asset though, I don't understand
Speaker 5: how Cannut fans feel.
Speaker 1: There's all this value. So the draft first round picks
Speaker 1: him back to back years, So what I gonna like?
Speaker 1: I disagree with it? Rick, I don't care. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe a poll question should have been would you rather trade? Damn?
Speaker 1: I trade Delco before the fifteenth overall pick. But I'm
Speaker 1: a rebuilt guy. I am going to say that I
Speaker 1: am not.
Speaker 5: I know you know all the storylines that come with
Speaker 5: him going into his final year, playing in the final
Speaker 5: year of his contract, especially in Vancouver. I need, I need.
Speaker 5: I'm not signing him to a contract extension this sum.
Speaker 1: How do you sign him if why can't you get
Speaker 1: it through your heads? If they talk and there's something
Speaker 1: reasonable and they come to common ground, why not how
Speaker 1: do you that? I'm not saying give him seven year.
Speaker 1: It's a gamble either.
Speaker 5: How many injuries did you say he had in thirteen
Speaker 5: months or whatever?
Speaker 1: Four or five? Yeah? Okay, and you want to sign
Speaker 1: him to a contract. He's healthy right now, Ryan, right now? Okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: I mean you would not want to get seven or
Speaker 1: eight years? So how many years? Canucks are probably gonna
Speaker 1: want him? At three and he's probably gonna say no
Speaker 1: to that brought Then the Canucks offered best for five
Speaker 1: and he said no, he wants seven or eight. So
Speaker 1: what's your If you hold your line, you'll be fine.
Speaker 1: They're not.
Speaker 4: You might not be fine if you sign him to
Speaker 4: an extension, So you're the team is to get injured
Speaker 4: left and right.
Speaker 1: You think demp go on three years is too much done?
Speaker 1: No years, I've read how much he wants. I would
Speaker 1: be no, I forget I trade him like I think
Speaker 1: I had something for him. I'd be okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But that's but this is where this team is so
Speaker 5: stuck in the middle because we hear Ruttherford talking about
Speaker 5: how they're gonna do all this renovation on the roster,
Speaker 5: right especially this year with Hughes and all of that,
Speaker 5: But then at the same time, they're not that good
Speaker 5: to say. Can they rob their goaltending? Like do you
Speaker 5: want Kevin lankoln and archis he loves to be the tandem?
Speaker 1: Probably not. So they're trying to do two things. Why
Speaker 1: not if you're if you're tanking for Kevin McKenna, that
Speaker 1: a bad idea. They're not taking next year down.
Speaker 4: They got a they're gonna do is keep everybody and sallow.
Speaker 1: Donny's right, Rick, they got a ranchise defenseman that they
Speaker 1: gotta keep in town. You might go.
Speaker 4: Anyway, consider trading Quinn Hughes as well. We just talked
Speaker 4: about Trevor Lindon. They draft Trevor Lindon second overall, great
Speaker 4: draft pick. Sure they get a gift from God at
Speaker 4: the draft, Pavel Burry, they make the novel Forrest Dowley
Speaker 4: Cup Final. They draft Daniel Sadean and Henrick Sdein's second
Speaker 4: or third overall. Nineteen ninety nine. They make the Stanley
Speaker 4: Cup into twenty eleven. It happens, Donny built through the draft.
Speaker 5: You bring up to Sadeens. You know how much I
Speaker 5: love the twenty eleven team. Look at that team?
Speaker 4: Kesler three Burrows, Like all this Burrows is a free agent.
Speaker 1: But but developed. Yeah, right, that was the draft and
Speaker 1: developed team. And meanwhile, I just don't see how this
Speaker 1: team has this in the sea of mediocrity right now,
Speaker 1: Like watch this the playoffs.
Speaker 5: The Canucks are so far away, like.
Speaker 1: And and the sad part is that they weren't that this,
Speaker 1: you know, No, they weren't. They weren't. Maybe it was
Speaker 1: a mirage, but it looked like they were right there.
Speaker 1: They just came off a great year two years ago.
Speaker 1: This year stunk because the two guys couldn't get along
Speaker 1: in the dressing room. Had it screwed the whole year break? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll do the later.

Speaker 5: thirty first on the Outlander Plug and Hybrid at Surrey Mitsubishi.
Speaker 5: Visit them in store one three eight two zero one
Speaker 5: to fourth Avenue in Surrey and say how to Daniel.
Speaker 1: On the team.
Speaker 5: Oh, first of all, I got a scoop we were
Speaker 5: talking about earlier this week. We were talking about the
Speaker 5: latest with the seats. That hasn't been an update on
Speaker 5: the seats at Rodgers Arena in a while. So a
Speaker 5: source very close to the situation is telling me that
Speaker 5: the club section at Rogers Arena is nearly done. That's
Speaker 5: the lower area of the rich people. First, well, what
Speaker 5: else is new there? They built that fancy restaurant, then
Speaker 5: they gave them the new black seats before anybody else.
Speaker 5: Now the club section is going to get finished. And
Speaker 5: this is something we've also been speculating on that's now
Speaker 5: been confirmed, and that is that the railings are being
Speaker 5: painted black at Rogers Show. Yeahow, so they are actually
Speaker 5: doing the railings. I give them credit because I was
Speaker 5: very skeptical of that with the way they cut corners.
Speaker 1: But they are painting them black.
Speaker 5: As the rolling stones once saying, so it'll be all
Speaker 5: black at Rogers' Arena starting next season.
Speaker 1: So black seats, black railings.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like why, well, what color do you want?
Speaker 1: What the uniforms?
Speaker 4: Okay, so what you know they change them.
Speaker 1: Every two years. That's why this is the way to go.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll go with the black visa. No, no,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just neutral. Like yeah, just and but
Speaker 1: again I've harped on this before. It was an idea
Speaker 1: my dad brought up.
Speaker 5: Actually, I think as an odd to the past, you
Speaker 5: should have gone black seats and something else.
Speaker 1: Like do you old coliseum with the ram was blue.
Speaker 4: There was the blue, the reds were the expensive seats,
Speaker 4: and the blues.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I love that. You should have done something
Speaker 1: like green. So yeah, sure.
Speaker 4: The Madison Square Garden used to have purple and teal. Really, oh,
Speaker 4: it was awful. There's nothing to do with.
Speaker 1: The colors of the teams that played there. I don't
Speaker 1: think anyway it should be mentioned. By the way, you're
Speaker 1: not very impressive. That just went right over back.
Speaker 5: June the seventh is the next event at Rogers Arena.
Speaker 5: It's a concert at Rogers Arenas.
Speaker 1: So they have time to paint those railings.
Speaker 5: Well they got but I mean it is going faster here.
Speaker 5: They're gonna have to get that building done.
Speaker 1: When paid on all the railings, well you know, people
Speaker 1: start filing in.
Speaker 5: Francesco's got the overalls on.
Speaker 1: He's a little hat roller.
Speaker 5: Yeah, excuse me, sorry, I'm just finishing up here. Uh So, anyway,
Speaker 5: stay tuned for more details on the seats as we
Speaker 5: get more information from sources close to the situation. Also
Speaker 5: a reminder, we are now on the TikTok is It's
Speaker 5: call it uh. Follow the show on TikTok. Our handle
Speaker 5: is Donnie and Dolly. You could see show clips. There's
Speaker 5: a clip of Ray moving right now as we speak.

Speaker 4: for doing this their How are you?
Speaker 10: I am very well, but I am not wearing my
Speaker 10: crocs today.
Speaker 4: Well we expect that from you next week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, next week, Hey.
Speaker 10: No problem, no problem. I got three or four pairs.
Speaker 1: So, oh my gosh, Wow do you wear them with sweatpants? Ever? Yeah?
Speaker 10: I don't wear sweatpants, Okay, why I'd rather wear shorts.
Speaker 10: I wear shorts if there's no snow on the ground,
Speaker 10: there's shorts.
Speaker 4: On sometimes even with snow and thing. We just had
Speaker 4: this conversation in the break preparing for your interview John Hey.
Speaker 4: Nine points in four games against Dallas for Ryan Nugent Hopkins,
Speaker 4: and he's a bargain at five point one two five
Speaker 4: a year. That's his cap hit. Can you see why
Speaker 4: he's one of Chris Knoblock's favorite players. Chris has gone
Speaker 4: on record of saying that.
Speaker 10: Well, I tell you what, this has been a great
Speaker 10: playoff for Ryan NuGen Hopkins, who did not have a
Speaker 10: very good regular season guys, and one of the reasons
Speaker 10: that the Oilers were I think inconsistent all season long
Speaker 10: was that Ryan's play was very inconsistent. You know his
Speaker 10: value to this hockey club when both Connor McDavid and
Speaker 10: Leon d Reiseidel are talking about him the postgame press
Speaker 10: conference is calling him the Swiss Army Knight, and he's
Speaker 10: one of those guys that no block can throw into
Speaker 10: any situation, power play, penalty kill, five on five, four
Speaker 10: on four. I mean, he truly has unbelievable skill for
Speaker 10: his size and he's not afraid to use his body either,
Speaker 10: which is which is has become a really positive thing
Speaker 10: for the Edmonton Oilers. It NuGen Hopkins' playoff comes at
Speaker 10: an unbelievably fortunate time for the hockey club and for
Speaker 10: Ryan and you're right about the You're right about the deal.
Speaker 10: It was a team friendly deal. He wanted to stay
Speaker 10: at Edmonton. It was an eight year deal that Kenny
Speaker 10: Holland got him to sign, and it certainly has paid
Speaker 10: dividends over the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: John, What a blow for the Edmonton Owners this morning.
Speaker 1: Zach Himan broken wrist surgery. Done for the playoffs. This
Speaker 1: guy is absolutely great. Last game two goals, one assist,
Speaker 1: ten hits, leads all players with hits in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: What a massive loss for the Oiters. It is.
Speaker 10: Because Zach has done again like Nugent Hopkins, Zach has
Speaker 10: really really elevated his game in the playoffs. But you
Speaker 10: have to wonder how then this team will do it.
Speaker 10: And what they have been able to do with a
Speaker 10: great deal of depth is play some quality hockey. Corey
Speaker 10: Perry went in, you know, the second shift after the
Speaker 10: him and injury on the power play, and next thing,
Speaker 10: you know, the pucks and then at forty years old Perry,
Speaker 10: you know, fills a bit of that void. You do
Speaker 10: have to wonder now as they fly to Dallas, the
Speaker 10: discussion amongst the coaches of what they do. There is
Speaker 10: a chance that Matias Ekhom plays in Game five in Dallas.
Speaker 10: Do you then go with eleven forwards and seven defensemen,
Speaker 10: making sure that Echom can ease back in? Or do
Speaker 10: you put Jeff Skinner in, who has played in the
Speaker 10: playoffs for the first time in his NHL career this year,
Speaker 10: but has not played since Game one of the playoffs.
Speaker 10: That becomes the dilemma for Chris Knoblock and his staff.
Speaker 10: My gut tells me they may go eleven and seven
Speaker 10: if Beckham's ready.
Speaker 1: To go, Yeah, that would make sense. What about the
Speaker 1: Canucks Depko's name first round pick Lacarra. There's so many
Speaker 1: names being tossed around these days of Vancouver. Do you
Speaker 1: see a big move coming in June, John and what
Speaker 1: kind of pieces could be offered up in Vancouver?
Speaker 7: I do?
Speaker 10: I think that, you know, there's I think that they
Speaker 10: have not been secretive about their desire to make trades
Speaker 10: to find a number two center.
Speaker 1: I think the.
Speaker 10: Question that you asked about she Lov's and his role
Speaker 10: in all of this, Rick is an important one. If
Speaker 10: they feel that Arthur she loves at twenty four years old,
Speaker 10: can make that next step, then I think think the
Speaker 10: discussions have to occur about what you do with that,
Speaker 10: your demco and have you grown tired as a team
Speaker 10: of Demko's injuries that have not helped his career. When
Speaker 10: he's healthy, he is one of the best goaltenders in
Speaker 10: the National Hockey League. The question is is when is
Speaker 10: he healthy? And so that to me, I think is
Speaker 10: the question that's having a great deal debate within the
Speaker 10: Canuck organization.
Speaker 4: Hey, John, you've worked at TV for so long. When
Speaker 4: we talked about this earlier regarding a question I wanted
Speaker 4: to ask you, but just your opinion of John Bartlett
Speaker 4: doing play by playing hockey AINT in Canada, I'm a
Speaker 4: big fan.
Speaker 10: Well, it's one that's pretty close to me, Donnie. I
Speaker 10: hired John to be the voice of the AHL Marley's
Speaker 10: when we were at Leafs TV.
Speaker 1: He was doing.
Speaker 10: Local cable hockey in Barry for the Colts in the
Speaker 10: OHL and his first full time paid gig was with
Speaker 10: Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment when we had Marley games,
Speaker 10: and we had Maple Leaf games, and he did Marley's
Speaker 10: TV and he did Marley's Radio at the time. So
Speaker 10: I've known John a long period of time. He has
Speaker 10: grown into one of the best broadcasters in the country.
Speaker 10: I think it's funny. You've put a person in a place,
Speaker 10: and it takes a while in our business to gain
Speaker 10: a signature a style, and I think in the last
Speaker 10: two years and particularly this year, John has really developed
Speaker 10: a quality style and certainly has anchored himself as the
Speaker 10: number two guy at the network.
Speaker 4: And John, before I let you go, we haven't talked
Speaker 4: about this all week. Matthew darsh what did the Islanders
Speaker 4: c and m He's their new GM.
Speaker 10: Well, I think there's the concept is that a a
Speaker 10: new voice outside of the organization, which I think is important.
Speaker 10: The other part is that you know, he he gives
Speaker 10: them a ton of organizational stability. Let's face it, if
Speaker 10: you have worked in the Tampa organization and been around
Speaker 10: Steve Eiserman and Julian Breezeboaugh, you know there are certain
Speaker 10: ways to do things. I would hope that Darch has
Speaker 10: been a sponge. I'm told he has been a big
Speaker 10: sponge of information and quality and we'll bring a little
Speaker 10: bit of that to an organization on the island that
Speaker 10: despite lou La Morello's desire to create stability, it really
Speaker 10: hasn't come to fulfillment. There's still lots of questions. How
Speaker 10: to manage contracts on Long Island, how to manage the
Speaker 10: coach Patrick Waugh and Matt Matthew Darch has his hands
Speaker 10: full right now, but he's going to be finally given
Speaker 10: an opportunity at that, you know, that elite level of
Speaker 10: being a general manager in the National Hockey League. And
Speaker 10: don't forget Lil Lamarrell is still going to be around.
Speaker 4: Yeah, outstanding hit despite the lack of crocs. Thanks for this, John,
Speaker 4: We appreciate it.
Speaker 10: Just for that, I'll work two pair of crocs next week.
Speaker 1: Beautiful sound so good. Thank you for that.
Speaker 4: Thank you for that, Thanks John, John Channel one Hockey.
Speaker 4: He had Keith Pelly on this week from mail c
Speaker 4: the give me your Boss.

Speaker 1: is answering the final year of his deal. What should
Speaker 1: the Canucks do with them? You either trade them or
Speaker 1: extend them? And six do you want percent? They trade
Speaker 1: them thirty nine percent, they extend them thousand votes. Ready's hopping,
Speaker 1: it's popping, it's not stopping. And uh, there you go
Speaker 1: Thatcher Dempco. It's a big summer, Donnie. They can sign
Speaker 1: Thatcher to an extension on July.
Speaker 4: First, which you want. You want to keep this group together?
Speaker 1: Stop it, I says I. If you can get them
Speaker 1: for three years decent money, why not if you ask
Speaker 1: for seven or eight million, If you ask for seven
Speaker 1: or eight years, you cut bait, simple as that.
Speaker 4: But even so that just with the injury concerns and
Speaker 4: the fact that you probably get something decent for him,
Speaker 4: and you've gone on record as saying I'm going over
Speaker 4: old ground here as saying you want to make trades
Speaker 4: in order to acquire some forwards to help you out
Speaker 4: up front, might not, might not be a might not
Speaker 4: be a bad idea.
Speaker 1: I agree. You just told me that he's got injuries galore.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna get for a guy you don't
Speaker 1: think the other teams know about his injury history? What
Speaker 1: are you gonna get for you want to sign it
Speaker 1: to a lucrative car. I never said that. I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: you brought this up.
Speaker 5: You know that two years remove from Vesna, that there's
Speaker 5: a team out there that would sniff that, or that would.
Speaker 1: Be talking about that. Philly is a disaster for goalies
Speaker 1: size twelve, cross that would take a look at that.
Speaker 1: Don We have ten and a half. Donnie's twelve. But listen, uh,
Speaker 1: there are teams that are gonna want them go. He
Speaker 1: tes to me a chance, right, take a chance on him,
Speaker 1: take a sniff. Where'd they go? I don't know.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I'm just saying, if you're running for now being,
Speaker 5: you want to roll the dice on another player, Hold
Speaker 5: on Peterson guy.
Speaker 1: You guys are no worse than Canucks twitter O. Denko
Speaker 1: has got a million injuries, so let's trade him. Let's
Speaker 1: trade him again. I boat load back, not a boat No,
Speaker 1: not a boat load. It'd be great. Okay, not fload,
Speaker 1: but if every way, If you guys know he's got
Speaker 1: injuries galore, you don't think the other thirty one teams
Speaker 1: in the NHL know he's banged up.
Speaker 4: But you you, you know that, you know his injury
Speaker 4: history better than anybody. If your conduct management, you want
Speaker 4: to sign him to a big deal.
Speaker 1: I told you he's healthy right now, there's nothing wrong.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a normal summer, right okay?
Speaker 5: Would you consider him an asset with positive value for
Speaker 5: the Canucks right now?
Speaker 1: I would consider him a guy who won the VET
Speaker 1: or almost I would say, yest season. I will tell
Speaker 1: you both, if he returns to his vest of form,
Speaker 1: you two gonna have egg on your face. Sure, that's fine,
Speaker 1: that's gigg Okay, I'm fine with that. And what large size? Eg?
Speaker 1: What if they what if twelve? Yeah?
Speaker 5: What if by some miracle they get top six forward
Speaker 5: that turns out that as part of a package, but
Speaker 5: turns out to do really well here in Vancouver, Then
Speaker 5: you could see a.
Speaker 4: Demo in the fifteenth overall pick. Yeah, I don't want
Speaker 4: If I'm the Canucks, I don't want to trade away
Speaker 4: that pick. But maybe it's part of the package. You know,
Speaker 4: they're trading that pick.
Speaker 5: I know, like, just what did Drant say to you
Speaker 5: guys on Friday?
Speaker 1: It's bringing a hole in their pocket? It is, He's right. Okay,
Speaker 1: so back to back years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I totally disagree with that.
Speaker 1: What does your farm team look like in two or
Speaker 1: three years?
Speaker 5: Okay, you know what they would say to you. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but we're in the Western Conference final, the colt A
Speaker 5: Cup playoffs.
Speaker 1: They're in the Western Conference final. Have you checked the
Speaker 1: Abbey roster. It's not a ton of draft picks in there.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys they got in n Cuba,
Speaker 1: in Europe. Yeah, you know, the guy veterans. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: lot of the guy leading Absburd is a guy they
Speaker 1: got from Europe, Sweden, and that's the guy. It's not
Speaker 1: a draft pick. It's not a draft pick.
Speaker 4: Look at the blue line, isn't it Sammy Blaze, Sammy Blaze, Carlson,
Speaker 4: I'm talking about goals.
Speaker 1: You got these leads semi points, I know, but it's
Speaker 1: a it's guys. There goes a little theory there. It's
Speaker 1: not draft picks leading the way down there. It's it's veteran, right,
Speaker 1: American Hockey League guy and they're doing a great job.
Speaker 1: So so do you want where draft picks are not?
Speaker 1: I don't want them to trade the first and back
Speaker 1: to back or Donnie don't make first. They didn't have
Speaker 1: a first, second, or third last year. Yes, there is
Speaker 1: gonna be one guy that makes the NHL from the
Speaker 1: draft last year. Let's just sum this up.
Speaker 4: They have said Jim, but Theford has said they they
Speaker 4: need to make trades and they don't want to go
Speaker 4: with U face, which is your music to the years
Speaker 4: of everybody in Vancouver, knowing the conduct's history. They have
Speaker 4: to trade some Dempco. They have to trade something, something
Speaker 4: the fifteenth overall pick.
Speaker 1: They've said that maybe maybe Connor Garland, maybe we'll lander.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing done. If there's nothing on July first,
Speaker 1: that interesting. But here's the thing that there's at least
Speaker 1: six other teams looking for a second line center like Vancouver.
Speaker 1: The market for centers is absolutely loaded. It's not the
Speaker 1: Cannucks aren't the only team looking for a second line center.
Speaker 4: There's so you just give up.
Speaker 1: Well, it's gonna be expensive, it's gonna they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to pay through their nose. So what's your plan for
Speaker 1: the summer. The plan for the summer is where it is,
Speaker 1: croc crocs and sweatpants, crocs, sweatpants and the tank tops.
Speaker 1: But listen, But the bottom line is they unlike you,
Speaker 1: I don't want to rebuild because Quinn Hughes he's gone,
Speaker 1: but he might.
Speaker 4: Go anyway, Rick like like like I said, I and
Speaker 4: I'm not the only one he might consider trading him.
Speaker 1: Who Quinn Hughes? Yeah? Oh stop, I mean, I totally
Speaker 1: agree with Donnie here.
Speaker 4: Everybody great.
Speaker 1: They had they had ninety points this year. You guys
Speaker 1: are acting like they had sixty or seventy. It's a
Speaker 1: great year. You're right, Donny, you're acting like they had
Speaker 1: sixty or seventy points. Ye had ninety and they would
Speaker 1: have made the playoffs in the East. What do you
Speaker 1: think Rick Tockett thing? What do you think what he thinks?
Speaker 1: He left? He left because there was no practice going here.
Speaker 1: There was no practice facility, and that's on the owner.
Speaker 1: That's the only reason he left. That was one of
Speaker 1: the reasons. And the owners should be shameful that a
Speaker 1: coach as good as talk it. One of the reasons
Speaker 1: you left is there's no practice facility. It's embarrassing.
Speaker 4: That's the only you think that the he saw promise
Speaker 4: with this organization practice facility or not you.
Speaker 1: Think he had left. He left because he knows Quinn.
Speaker 1: Most likely he will leave in two if he signs
Speaker 1: for five and then he screwed. Uh, he doesn't know
Speaker 1: how long Rutherford's gonna be here. A new GM comes in,
Speaker 1: a new coach comes in. Everyone wants new guys.
Speaker 5: But to Donnie's point, then why don't you get ahead
Speaker 5: of this huge thing?
Speaker 1: Now? Like what are we doing? You're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 1: go all in trade all this stuff. They're doing everything
Speaker 1: in their power to keep the franchise. Defenseman, why can't
Speaker 1: you who might leave it after two seasons? He just
Speaker 1: said it.
Speaker 5: The coach left in part because he doesn't think he's
Speaker 5: sticking around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rick, what do you like? Look get the reaction,
Speaker 1: and I think the reaction is really soft and light.
Speaker 4: They didn't get anything for Bester. They got they got
Speaker 4: maybe maybe be a suitor as well. No, they didn't
Speaker 4: get anything for I know, unless he returns.
Speaker 1: Well, so don't rule that out. But I mean they
Speaker 1: got if you watch, they got nothing.
Speaker 4: From getting nothing for Hughes.
Speaker 1: Well, if you leave that, that won't happen. If Quinn
Speaker 1: Hughes says he you can't, he says, I'm gone, they'll
Speaker 1: trade him and get a boatloader.
Speaker 4: What what if there's the possibility of getting two home
Speaker 4: playoff dates?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well in a couple of you gotta gotta keep
Speaker 1: him right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's insane, but it's not something that you can
Speaker 5: completely rule out.
Speaker 1: Donnie's right. Rather, you're said, we're gonna try and make
Speaker 1: us We are gonna try and build a good team
Speaker 1: for next You say us, No, not, I did say us.
Speaker 1: He said we're gonna try and get better from ninety points.
Speaker 1: So maybe they go to ninety six to ninety eight.
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying, they're not thinking reocrity.
Speaker 5: But again, though they get ninety points media because Rick,
Speaker 5: it gets to the point that they keep hammering home
Speaker 5: we want to get to the playoffs, like that's an accomplishment.
Speaker 5: No win a Stanley copp So great, you get ninety
Speaker 5: six points, you're in the first round. You get ninety
Speaker 5: eight points, you're in the second round, but you're losing
Speaker 5: four games.
Speaker 1: Who cares? Who? Also?
Speaker 4: Rick watch look at these teams right now? I think
Speaker 4: there're anywhere. Like I know, you love your ninety points.
Speaker 1: They're not close, yeah, but they're you know what, there
Speaker 1: were teams that had sixty five and seventy and seventy five.
Speaker 1: That's not damn okay, you know what I wish it was,
Speaker 1: but those teams exactly. But then you can do the rebuild.
Speaker 1: But what's the future outlook for those teams? Yeah? It
Speaker 1: was tough, Yeah, right.
Speaker 4: Said nays are the world champions?
Speaker 1: Yeah, very good.
