Speaker 1: Day loss to Calgary over on the Island. Their regular
Speaker 1: season opener Saturday, June seventh against the same Adbonton Elks.
Speaker 1: That's the concert kickoff with your buddy Snoop Dogg. Oh
Speaker 1: and just enough meat. Just got this update twenty seconds ago.
Speaker 1: Over fifty thousand tickets sold for concert Kickoff with Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 1: They hit and passed right there. Look at that fifty thousand.
Speaker 1: That's not me.
Speaker 4: I'm not one of the fifty thousand. I'll be at
Speaker 4: the game a kickoff, but I'll tell you fifty thousand.
Speaker 1: Well, no, you're still part of the fifty thousand. No
Speaker 1: I'm not because I got free tickets. Well no, you're
Speaker 1: still I didn't pay for him.
Speaker 4: But anyways, I'm going to be showing up at game
Speaker 4: time and I'm not watching Snoop dog.
Speaker 1: But fifty thousand people apparent is that if we somehow
Speaker 1: got Snoop Dogg on this show, you would be kissing
Speaker 1: up to him so badly.
Speaker 4: Well, same as that Ryan and Rod Brindamore. If Rod
Speaker 4: Brindemore came out, you.
Speaker 1: Go, oh yeah, Ron, how you doing?
Speaker 4: But anyways, look at this. I was not happy when
Speaker 4: Snoop Dogg was named.
Speaker 1: And look at this. Look at the way the city
Speaker 1: of it is always popular.
Speaker 4: It is always popular. And people know his music. I'm
Speaker 4: not one of them, but people know his music. And
Speaker 4: can we talk about this? Well, I'm going to talk
Speaker 4: about it now.
Speaker 1: We've got Amar Doman on the show Monday, Ryan, we
Speaker 1: do Okay, Lions owner of mar Doman on the show.
Speaker 1: He's a Snoop Dogg fan. Okay. Abbotsford Canucks last night,
Speaker 1: we often don't talk all that positively about the well
Speaker 1: you don't about the Vancouver Canucks a franchise, but the
Speaker 1: Abbosford Canucks are part of that franchise. Game one of
Speaker 1: the American Hockey League they called a Cup Western. Finally
Speaker 1: yesterday went to overtime, packed house three to two. Christian
Speaker 1: millanin with the overtime winner for the hometown Abbotsford Canucks. Rick.
Speaker 4: Look at this and this is ot just the shot
Speaker 4: from the point always a good thing, especially in overtime.
Speaker 4: Shoot the pot, get it on net, and look at
Speaker 4: the goaltender. He was ticked off. He shouldn't. He didn't
Speaker 4: think he should have let it get past him. And
Speaker 4: Will Lannon a veteran guy, Donnie, and you've mentioned him.
Speaker 1: In the past.
Speaker 4: Why he never gets a shot with the Canucksy he
Speaker 4: does good stuff down there and he gets the ot winner.
Speaker 1: So you mentioned the goaltender. He's one of the stars
Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, he was a Texas goaltender. Remy
Speaker 1: Purier forty three saves. Absford outshot them in a game
Speaker 1: that went to overtime, forty six thirty eight, So he
Speaker 1: was outstanding. Quite quite the night for Dallas Stars. Organizational goaltending,
Speaker 1: he was great, Jacon, You're not souch he gets pulled
Speaker 1: in Dallas against the avonton Oiters. Is the Oilers advance this?
Speaker 1: Lina's Carlson Rick. He was never not for one moment
Speaker 1: in the time he was called up, especially at the
Speaker 1: end of the regular season for the Vancouver Canucks. He
Speaker 1: never looked out of place at the NHL level. And
Speaker 1: he is now after a couple of sists last night,
Speaker 1: leading Absford in playoff in playoff points?
Speaker 4: Can he take the next step?
Speaker 1: Don't?
Speaker 4: The next step is being a regular in the NHL.
Speaker 4: Not getting sent back. You don't want to get sent back.
Speaker 4: You want to be prepared and ready to be an
Speaker 4: NHL player every single day.
Speaker 1: Is he ready for that? To assist four shots for
Speaker 1: Linas last night plus two, he's a center, You would
Speaker 1: have to think at the very least realistically bottom six
Speaker 1: a Ford center next year with the Vancouver Canucks. I
Speaker 1: would think anyway, well, that's what training caps for.
Speaker 4: We sit here and remember last year se Lob's always
Speaker 4: gonna he's ready for the NHL.
Speaker 1: Didn't happen. Yeah, that was the Jonathan Dolan trade. I
Speaker 1: believe that's how they got Lead.
Speaker 4: That's how they got Linas. Carlson was through the Dell
Speaker 4: and trade.
Speaker 1: Yep. From San Jose Game two Saturday, and Ryan, you
Speaker 1: had an update ticket wise when it comes to the
Speaker 1: Absford Canucks and the Texas Stars Saturday, you got to
Speaker 1: get a move on if you want to see that
Speaker 1: game live.
Speaker 5: Yeah, courtesy are good pal, Ben Lipkob, the Abbotsford News
Speaker 5: Ticketmaster is showing five five what available tickets right now
Speaker 5: for Saturday's Game two between Abbotsford and the Texas Stars.
Speaker 5: He also says tickets are so hot someone bought up
Speaker 5: a row and are selling them for two hundred and
Speaker 5: seventy eight dollars each stub up right now?
Speaker 1: I don't know so well. Now it's interesting because the
Speaker 1: rules they live in now. The name of the reseller
Speaker 1: is f Aquallini, so I don't know who that is
Speaker 1: that's trying to make a buck. But I'm just kidding.
Speaker 5: But anyway, I could just see last night they were
Speaker 5: fourteen hundreds off roughly of a sellout in Abby, but
Speaker 5: you wouldn't have known it by the crowd shots.
Speaker 1: And now it looks like Saturday and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: selloed in that. I say, this is the world we
Speaker 1: live in right now. So as an older person, you
Speaker 1: know what's better this or old schools? Got helpers out front?
Speaker 1: You know, two tickets here, two tickets, two tickets. Oh
Speaker 1: I miss that, I miss that. They go on. Either way,
Speaker 1: you're kind of getting ripped off. I missed the program.
Speaker 5: Well, the only thing is is you could have held
Speaker 5: out with those people outside right Oh, game starts then
Speaker 5: they have to drop their price. You kind of lose
Speaker 5: that now with the stub hugs and really good that
Speaker 5: ticketmaster reseller etca.
Speaker 4: Things on your cell phone. It's ridiculous. But this guy's
Speaker 4: selling them and making a buck.
Speaker 1: I don't like this. You know what, Uh, sixty bucks
Speaker 1: to the scalping, Wasn't that The actual in person scalping
Speaker 1: wasn't much better? Pretty scrupulous in a way. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: funny like I. You know, as somebody who was reporting
Speaker 1: on the conducts on a regular basis, you get to
Speaker 1: know those guys. They're there all the time.
Speaker 5: You should have tried to resell your media pass right
Speaker 5: now and then you could have made some good money.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I would have had it for much longer. True,
Speaker 1: that's a good point. That's one day I could have
Speaker 1: made fifty bucks or who knows. But again, Saturday night
Speaker 1: Game two, you wanted to talk about a defenseman.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Victor Mancini. Ryan played the video. I love
Speaker 4: this guy. Watch this. This guy's got size, he's got
Speaker 4: skating right shot d watch him get the puck. Watch
Speaker 4: this now through two guys then beats the defenseman on
Speaker 4: the outside didn't score. Imagine if you would have scored,
Speaker 4: the building would have gone nuts.
Speaker 1: Donnie.
Speaker 4: But that I talked to a pro scout who said
Speaker 4: that man Seni is very he's been a horse in
Speaker 4: the playoffs. He said, he is very close to being
Speaker 4: an NHL regular. I Donnie, can you picture Mancini and
Speaker 4: Ellis Petterson? The defenseman is the third pair next year.
Speaker 4: I know one's got to kill penalties. You need a
Speaker 4: penalty killer in that third pair. But I'll tell you, boy,
Speaker 4: this guy look at this. You don't see big guys
Speaker 4: move like this very often, tall, gangly guys with big skates.
Speaker 1: Look at this. Unbelievable. You know what size feeed he is?
Speaker 4: No, but those guys that are six four, two twenty,
Speaker 4: they're not.
Speaker 1: In a size eight skate down.
Speaker 4: They're usually in a size maybe is h there're ties twelve, thirteen, fourteen.
Speaker 4: You know that's the key. I think that's the key,
Speaker 4: the bigger the skate. Didn't one of your kids hash
Speaker 4: size fourteen in battle? But he's just he's no six
Speaker 4: to eight. But anyways, listen, this man come from the grandfather. Anyways, listen, uh, Mancini,
Speaker 4: keep an eye on him. He's gonna be My eyes
Speaker 4: are on Mancini. That training can and his feet and
Speaker 4: his feet.
Speaker 1: Okay, so again, Game two Saturday, Texas versus the Atmosford
Speaker 1: Canucks are having all sorts of fun there, and if
Speaker 1: you want to ticket, get up there, maybe grave on
Speaker 1: those five available tickets. Meanwhile, we touched on this a
Speaker 1: little bit earlier Oilers six Stars three. The Edmonton Owners
Speaker 1: are off to the Stanley Cup Final for a second
Speaker 1: straight year. For a second straight year, They're going to
Speaker 1: take on the Florida Panthers. I love the matchup, contrasting styles.
Speaker 1: There's star star power. There's that I imagine the hate
Speaker 1: that built up last year and that last year's You forget,
Speaker 1: last year's Stanley Cup Final went to seven games after
Speaker 1: the Panthers built up a three nothing lead. There's all
Speaker 1: sorts of storylines there. But everybody these days, as I
Speaker 1: go old man again, everybody talks about stats, not just goals,
Speaker 1: assistant points. You know, the story with the analytics, right,
Speaker 1: and the analytics and the course and the expected goals.
Speaker 1: I'm wait, I'm not smart enough to figure any of
Speaker 1: that stuff. But I do know this hockey comes down
Speaker 1: more than anything else. And there's talent, obviously, that's a big,
Speaker 1: big deal. But hockey comes down to moments and what
Speaker 1: the best players come up with the big moments. Bobby,
Speaker 1: you are flying through the air all of that. But
Speaker 1: last night, second period, the crowd in Dallas buzzing. We
Speaker 1: fell down three nothing early Ottinger got pulled and the
Speaker 1: crowd stayed with them. They came back to make it
Speaker 1: three to two, and the crowd was buzzing fourteen minutes
Speaker 1: and then this happened with Connor McDavid. What a moment
Speaker 1: it's been old lookout bits. McDavid hants to catch up
Speaker 1: Big David Stars. The break away.
Speaker 4: Goal for Connor McDavid and the Edmonton lead us back
Speaker 4: to two.
Speaker 1: And boy, I'll tell you the crowd the building went
Speaker 1: silent after that and they picked it up, you know,
Speaker 1: to the Stars credit. They tried to come back again.
Speaker 1: But that's what it's all about. I mean, you can
Speaker 1: again talk about all the numbers when it comes to
Speaker 1: the important games the postseason. Throw the numbers out. It's
Speaker 1: the players who can come up with big moments. Connects don't.
Speaker 1: Right now, not many guys other than quinnyus that could
Speaker 1: come up with something like this.
Speaker 4: You're bengaling and bark Off the other night in Carolina.
Speaker 4: He did it McDavid. It's his ability to do things
Speaker 4: with the puck and stick. Kandel when he's at high speed.
Speaker 1: I was, and I've several a million times. I think
Speaker 1: his hands are as faster, faster than his feet. But
Speaker 1: I was almost disappointed when this happened. As great as
Speaker 1: it was to watch, I was almost disappointed because I
Speaker 1: wanted it to be a close game. It was getting
Speaker 1: really really good and then he and there was an
Speaker 1: element of luck here the block shot. But man, that
Speaker 1: was that was just that was really something special. And
Speaker 1: they didn't touch pardon me, they touched or did Clarence
Speaker 1: Campbell but he did last year he didn't touch it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he just he and for people go, well, it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything. Who cares, blah blah blah. Connor McDavid
Speaker 1: thought about this. They didn't touch it last year and
Speaker 1: they lost the Stanley Cup Final. They touched it this year.
Speaker 1: Put at the ever they were parading around with it.
Speaker 1: We'll we'll see what happens. But he's hoping for a
Speaker 1: change of luck here.
Speaker 4: I like, I love Minutia, like this absolutely, and we
Speaker 4: should mention a couple of local guys going to the
Speaker 4: Stanley Cup Final story stature Donnie pod Colson, Vasilli pod
Speaker 4: Colson local.
Speaker 1: I thought he was rushing ah.
Speaker 4: He said, local played for the NHL team here in town.
Speaker 4: Good for him, the Canucks, the Canucks.
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 4: You can say what you want about Pud Colson. Some
Speaker 4: people call him the bust. I don't care. The kids
Speaker 4: loved everywhere he goes. He's he works his ass off.
Speaker 1: You're saying the Conucs Canucks made a mistake you, so
Speaker 1: I'm not stop it.
Speaker 4: Don I didn't say they made a mistake. Bob Stafford
Speaker 4: told us they love Pud Colson in that dressing room,
Speaker 4: and they loved him in Vancouver too.
Speaker 1: Good for him. So there have been four back to
Speaker 1: back Cup Final rematches in the expansion era. The Oilers
Speaker 1: were involved in one and maybe this is something they
Speaker 1: can It's just again Minutia, but a positive for them.
Speaker 1: Oilers Islanders eighty three, eighty four, they lose in eighty
Speaker 1: three to come back. Islanders come back and win against
Speaker 1: the Islanders and eighty four. You'll learn.
Speaker 4: You learn from your mistakes, and the owners learned from
Speaker 4: their mistakes last year. Donnie, I got them in the final.
Speaker 4: It's hard not to take.
Speaker 1: You've got the you're picking them Oiders.
Speaker 4: It's hard not to take. You didn't mention the other
Speaker 4: local kid who's going off on. I mentioned Troy Stature,
Speaker 4: Ryan NuGen Hopkins and Ryan NuGen Hopkins Burnaby one of class,
Speaker 4: but you didn't mention him. Okay, Ryan, I'm talking with
Speaker 4: the local product facility, Pod coles in Okay, okay, Ryan
Speaker 4: NuGen Hopkins.
Speaker 1: And by the way, Gadgevitch plays for the Panthers.
Speaker 4: By the way, the Edmonton oiter is just so everybody knows.
Speaker 4: Nineteen Canadians on their roster. Nineteen nineteen Canadians on their roster.
Speaker 4: Just saying, just saying, just saying.

Speaker 1: got look, look, we were running out of time here.

Speaker 1: Dr Thomas, thanks for doing it this? How are you?
Speaker 6: Ah Ah, I'm doing great with a welcome like that,
Speaker 6: My goodness, rig Yeah, I love you.
Speaker 1: You know that well, I'm welcoming you. Love hate love
Speaker 1: hate love hate love hate. Hey Thomas, when you watch
Speaker 1: these growling at me, when you watch these NHL when
Speaker 1: do you want to let it go? When you watch
Speaker 1: these NHL playoffs as we get ready for the Oilers
Speaker 1: and Panthers, what sticks out in terms of what the
Speaker 1: Canucks need to acquire?
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I mean so much. To be totally
Speaker 6: honest with you, unfortunately, I mean I think we're looking at,
Speaker 6: you know, a team that needs size, a team that
Speaker 6: needs a lot of speed, and I think those like,
Speaker 6: both of those traits leap off the page. You know,
Speaker 6: that Oilers team, the way that they're I mean, the
Speaker 6: Oilers are a fascinating sort of example here because there's
Speaker 6: two things that they're doing that are just absolutely crushing teams.
Speaker 3: First of all, they're they're lethal off the rush.
Speaker 6: I mean, they are scoring a ton of goals off
Speaker 6: the rush, something the Canucks have really struggled to do
Speaker 6: across the last two years. And additionally, you know when
Speaker 6: there's loose change in the crease. I mean, you better
Speaker 6: catch every perimeter shot as a goaltender that the Oilers
Speaker 6: shoot your way, because you know whether it's Perry, whether
Speaker 6: it's Dreysidel Hymen before the injury. You know McDavid's winning battles.
Speaker 6: I mean, we saw Jeff Skinner score on this type
Speaker 6: of play to make it through nothing last night. But
Speaker 6: they are first to bucks, They are getting putties in
Speaker 6: on pucks and just digging pucks out. And then in
Speaker 6: addition to having that size, they have the speed or sorry,
Speaker 6: the skill level to actually do stuff with it, interesting
Speaker 6: backdoor passes, you know, really good movement high low and man.
Speaker 6: I mean that's very different from what it looks like
Speaker 6: when you watch the Canucks play, just the way that
Speaker 6: they dominate in terms of winning fifty to fifty puck
Speaker 6: battles in the greasy areas of the ice. So I
Speaker 6: look at all of that and just think there's a
Speaker 6: lot that this Canucks team needs, you know, size, speed, grit, leadership, character,
Speaker 6: especially up front. I mean put it all together. This
Speaker 6: team is far far away from the level that the
Speaker 6: Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers are at, which, by
Speaker 6: the way, isn't a huge insult.
Speaker 3: You know who else is far away from that level.
Speaker 6: The Dallas Stars and the Carolina Hurricanes, and they're clearly
Speaker 6: top five teams. Just there's a lot of distance to
Speaker 6: travel to get into that sort of tier of contenders,
Speaker 6: and then even once you're there, there's a lot of
Speaker 6: distance to travel before you're at the level of you know,
Speaker 6: these historic teams like Edmonton and Florida.
Speaker 4: Hey, Thomas, anyway you cut it really positive for the
Speaker 4: Canucks and we can harp on many negatives from this season,
Speaker 4: but is absburd last night and overtime over Texas? You know,
Speaker 4: what are you seeing with that team? The biggest thing
Speaker 4: we're gonna watch is which one of those players can
Speaker 4: make the jump to the NHL leg level to be
Speaker 4: a regular NHL the not just a guy goes up
Speaker 4: to Vancouver next year sent back down. Who do you
Speaker 4: see there as being a regular right out of the camp.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, it's an interesting question because you know the
Speaker 6: sort of leading scorers and best players on this Abbotsford
Speaker 6: Canucks team.
Speaker 3: Rick and maybe this is partly because atu Ratu.
Speaker 6: Has been injured, right, but it's really I mean, phil
Speaker 6: d Giuseppe had through forty minutes last night, Phildy Giuseppe
Speaker 6: had eight.
Speaker 3: Shots on call.
Speaker 6: Right, It's been a lot of Sami Blay, It's been
Speaker 6: a lot of sort of veteran players. Jonathan Lacaramaki through
Speaker 6: forty minutes, by the way, had zero shots.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 6: So there's an element to which like this run is
Speaker 6: not being driven necessarily by some of the younger prospects
Speaker 6: that Canucks fans are excited about. It's being driven by
Speaker 6: some of the candidates to be depth contributors for the
Speaker 6: Canucks next season.
Speaker 3: Linus Carlson, I.
Speaker 6: Think, is a guy that for a variety of reasons
Speaker 6: has left off the ice, both at the NHL level
Speaker 6: and obviously in the Calder Cup playoffs. Just the way
Speaker 6: that he like you want to talk about digging Putson
Speaker 6: in tough areas of the ice and having some size, Like,
Speaker 6: Linus Carlson's got the skill definition tight and he wins
Speaker 6: a ton of battles.
Speaker 3: He's really heavy on his stick.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there are some speed limitations to his game, but
Speaker 6: I mean, I think we've seen him be a dependable
Speaker 6: fourth line player. I think he could have some NetFront
Speaker 6: utility on power play two going forward at the NHL level,
Speaker 6: and he's had a tremendous run. So he'd sort of
Speaker 6: be at the top of my list of Abbotsford Canucks
Speaker 6: to watch for guys who strengthened their case to be
Speaker 6: on the NHL roster next season, especially given that the
Speaker 6: team proactively signed him to an NHL contract a couple
Speaker 6: months back. And the other guy's obviously Victor Mancini and
Speaker 6: acquired in that JT. Miller trade, the first part of
Speaker 6: the JT. Miller trade, And I mean he's blown up.
Speaker 6: He's played really, really well. I had some concerns about
Speaker 6: the hockey sense when we saw him down the stretch,
Speaker 6: some of the puck handling too, but when you see
Speaker 6: how what he can do, you know he's aggressive, he's
Speaker 6: willing to join the rush as you're seeing there. He's
Speaker 6: got a big frame, he's a right handed shooter, and
Speaker 6: from what I understand, is an absolute ringcrat in terms
Speaker 6: of the work ethics. So you know, I think he's
Speaker 6: put a lot of things on tape in the Calder
Speaker 6: Cup playoffs that I'm sure will strengthen his hand at
Speaker 6: training camp for the Canucks next ball.
Speaker 4: Absolutely hearing a lot of good things about Mancini. Hey
Speaker 4: what about Dempko, A lot of talk about he's on
Speaker 4: trade boards. They're gonna have to get to his agent.
Speaker 4: I think Thomas soon to find out, Hey, what do
Speaker 4: you want on a new deal, because if he wants
Speaker 4: seven times seven, it's not happening.
Speaker 1: Thomas. Yeah.
Speaker 6: The way to think about this Rick From my understanding,
Speaker 6: and this is somewhat dated information three four weeks ago,
Speaker 6: but I was talking to some principles involved in a
Speaker 6: high level hockey operations decision making with the Canucks. The
Speaker 6: sort of main concept to keep in mind here is
Speaker 6: the idea of shared risk, right, and like, I think
Speaker 6: the Canucks would love to keep demco and are open
Speaker 6: to doing an extension, but I think that extension needs
Speaker 6: to account for the significant risk of you know, extending
Speaker 6: him coming off of, frankly a nightmare campaign in which
Speaker 6: he had three separate extended injury related absences over the
Speaker 6: course of the season, including one which was of that
Speaker 6: unprecedented knee tear which he suffered in the playoffs last year,
Speaker 6: like twelve months ago, and you know, from which I
Speaker 6: think we sort of wonder, like will that have a
Speaker 6: meaningful impact on his performance level and his durability going forward.
Speaker 6: The fact that he then sustained the back injury and
Speaker 6: an additional lower body injury, you know, only sort of
Speaker 6: heightens those concerns because it wasn't just that Demko was
Speaker 6: hurt three times. He also wasn't at the level consistently
Speaker 6: that he typically has been. And how could he be,
Speaker 6: I mean, given what he dealt with last summer, given
Speaker 6: how you know, sort of drawn out his his ramp
Speaker 6: up was in recovering from that injury. We didn't get,
Speaker 6: you know, the best version of Thatcher Demko, who is,
Speaker 6: as we know, one of the most dominant goaltenders in
Speaker 6: the league. Now, if Demco and his camp and Demko's
Speaker 6: obviously publicly expressed a desire to extend, you know, if
Speaker 6: they decide that they would like to buy some security
Speaker 6: this summer on July one, when he becomes extension eligible
Speaker 6: and sort of lock ins you know, some guaranteed an
Speaker 6: NHL level money as opposed to taking the risk of
Speaker 6: playing through a contract year and rebuilding his value. You know,
Speaker 6: I think the Canucks are open to doing that. I
Speaker 6: think they're very high on Demco as a player and
Speaker 6: a person. But I think it's clear that, you know,
Speaker 6: any sort of deal like that is going to have
Speaker 6: to account for the significant uncertainty that surrounds DEMCO, the
Speaker 6: shared risk. That risk has to be shared and cooperative,
Speaker 6: and that's sort of I think how the Canucks are
Speaker 6: viewing it and sort of what will shape this negotiation.
Speaker 6: I'm really fascinated too, Rick, just to come back to Abbotsford.
Speaker 6: I mean, what's our tur she loves this safe percentage
Speaker 6: at now because you have to nine thirty seven something
Speaker 6: like that. I mean, he is brushing it and you've
Speaker 6: got Lankan and signed for five years, and you know
Speaker 6: there's only two spots on the NHL roster, and she
Speaker 6: loves is going to require waivers this year and after
Speaker 6: this sort of run in the Calder Cup playoffs, not
Speaker 6: to mention what he did in the Stanley Cup playffs
Speaker 6: the year prior, not to mention what he did in the.
Speaker 3: World Championships the year prior.
Speaker 6: I mean, you'd have to think that there's going to
Speaker 6: be teams looking at him and thinking, hey, look we
Speaker 6: can we can help him figure out how to battle
Speaker 6: through traffic and stop some of those long range shots
Speaker 6: at a good enough level that he can be our
Speaker 6: big game goal. And so you know, part of the logic, like,
Speaker 6: if you're doing a Demco extension, you're you're probably making
Speaker 6: a decision too on Archer. She loves and you know,
Speaker 6: given this team's emergency level needs elsewhere, right, there's a
Speaker 6: lot to weigh for Canucks management because while there is
Speaker 6: uncertainty on Denco, for sure, you know, there's also an
Speaker 6: intense level of upside in his game and for goalie
Speaker 6: needy teams, you know, especially with given that he's just
Speaker 6: got one year left on his deal, I think that
Speaker 6: he'd have some pretty significant trade value if he were
Speaker 6: to to sort of make it off trade boards and
Speaker 6: actually make it to market ric. So it's a complex
Speaker 6: situation for the Canucks to stickhandle here.
Speaker 1: Okay, Rick's got the stop watch on. Okay, Thomas, this
Speaker 1: has gotta be quick. What do you know about Kevin
Speaker 1: Dean Chicago Blackhawks assistant He's left that organization. What do
Speaker 1: you know about him and all these this talk about
Speaker 1: him joining the Canucks staff?
Speaker 3: Not very much.
Speaker 1: There you go, Rick, There you go?
Speaker 3: Is that there you go a record for me?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Look, I don't know very much about Kevin Dean. To
Speaker 3: be totally honest with you.
Speaker 6: That that Chicago team I thought had moments early in
Speaker 6: the season where they played decently structured hockey under Luke Richardson.
Speaker 6: Things really fell apart on them in snowball, and then
Speaker 6: they just didn't have enough talent. So I wouldn't look
Speaker 6: at like their defensive records as sort of something to
Speaker 6: take to the bank and evaluating Dean's overall coaching an
Speaker 6: interesting name for sure, but you do think that the
Speaker 6: Canucks would want and need to add someone with head
Speaker 6: coaching experience to the.
Speaker 3: Staff above all else.
Speaker 6: So we'll be very interested to see how put blushes
Speaker 6: out his bench staff.
Speaker 1: How do you do forty five seconds? Excellent? Perfect?
Speaker 3: Does that include the joke though?
Speaker 4: Does that it includes right from start to finish?
Speaker 1: Thomas I said, let's leave it to that. That's a
Speaker 1: record low for you. Awesome, A great weekend.
Speaker 3: You said, excellent, Rick growling at me. We're we're doing
Speaker 3: well boys.
Speaker 1: Thanks, things are normal. Thanks, Thanks, Thomas, appreciate it. Thomas
Speaker 1: grants the athletic We thank him. By the way, the
Speaker 1: Hockey Night in Canada panel has gone on a lot
Speaker 1: about this. The additions of Jake Walman and John Klingberg
Speaker 1: for the Edmonton Oilers, and in the past they felt
Speaker 1: the Oilers felt that they needed size on defense, some
Speaker 1: toughness on defense, and not that Wollman and Klingberg aren't tough,
Speaker 1: but just that they're known for moving the puck. Well,
Speaker 1: what do the Oilers have forwards who want to get
Speaker 1: to get the puck passed up to them? It fits
Speaker 1: their personality a lot, a lot better than the other
Speaker 1: defenseman in the past who have left the organization. Just
Speaker 1: a smart move by say what you want about him,
Speaker 1: So he gave up a first round pick for Donnie.
Speaker 1: It's been a good decision. Okay. Up next we have
Speaker 1: Kara Gardner Moury, the new GM of Vancouver's new p
Speaker 1: w HL franchise. She's gonna join us next Donnie and

Speaker 1: Maury recently named the first GM in the history of
Speaker 1: Vancouver's new PWHL franchise, coming here after coaching Princeton University's
Speaker 1: women's team played both ice and field hockey. Yes, Rick
Speaker 1: at Brown University, former Canadian national team member. What a
Speaker 1: resume here, Pride of Henshall, Ontario. Kara joins us. Now, congratulations, Kar,
Speaker 1: thanks for doing this. How are you.
Speaker 7: I'm so excited. Thanks for having me, no problem.
Speaker 1: We don't hear that a lot on the show, and
Speaker 1: it we appreciate that. What attracted you to this job
Speaker 1: in the city of Vancouver.
Speaker 8: Well, when I was first kind of approached about the job,
Speaker 8: you know, I have been a coach most of my career,
Speaker 8: but I realized, after talking to some of my connections
Speaker 8: in the NHL with the Philadelphia Flyers and some of
Speaker 8: the gms there, what a cool leadership.
Speaker 7: Opportunity this is.
Speaker 8: And the city of Vancouver is, you know, highly regarded
Speaker 8: as one of the greatest cities in the world. So
Speaker 8: I just really thought I needed to explore this. I'm
Speaker 8: very passionate about growing our game and helping this league succeed,
Speaker 8: and so it was just like kind of a natural progression,
Speaker 8: and the more I looked into it, the more I
Speaker 8: just wanted to be in it.
Speaker 1: Just doing some research here for once before an interview,
Speaker 1: expagine drafts just around the corner. June ninth. What are
Speaker 1: your top priorities right now?
Speaker 8: Oh, my goodness, So my top priorities are, you know,
Speaker 8: getting ready for that draft, looking at you know, all
Speaker 8: the player pool, the player salary. I'm lucky that I've
Speaker 8: got to either coach the actual players, coach against the
Speaker 8: player coach them on the national team. So I feel
Speaker 8: really comfortable with the player pool, but also trying to
Speaker 8: get a head coach in place so we can hit
Speaker 8: the ground running as soon as this starts up in
Speaker 8: a few days.
Speaker 1: You played in the now defunked NWHL. I hope I've
Speaker 1: got that right. How does that I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 1: I've been watching the games. They're very impressive. How does
Speaker 1: that stack up from what you've seen of the PWHL.
Speaker 8: Oh my goodness, it's come so far. Our game is
Speaker 8: amazing now. And it was crazy because I remember playing
Speaker 8: back then and we thought, oh my goodness, we get
Speaker 8: to play professionally, but you know, really we didn't get
Speaker 8: any money and we were still living in our parents' basements.
Speaker 8: So I've been watching and just hoping for these moments
Speaker 8: for so long, and it's been quite a while. I
Speaker 8: don't want to age myself since those days. But I
Speaker 8: just look back at me and my teammates, and you know,
Speaker 8: Jana was one of the players that I played with
Speaker 8: briefly in that league, and it's just incredible seeing how
Speaker 8: far the game has come and coaching them over the.
Speaker 7: Last fifteen years.
Speaker 8: Just the skill level and the speed and the talent,
Speaker 8: it's just grown so much, and it's an incredible, incredible
Speaker 8: game to see.
Speaker 4: Now, Kara, every GM in every league is asked the
Speaker 4: same question when they get the job. What kind of
Speaker 4: team are you looking for? What kind of identity do
Speaker 4: you want with your hockey club?
Speaker 8: Oh my goodness, you're going to see one of the
Speaker 8: most competitive teams in the league. So I'm big on speed,
Speaker 8: relentless play. I was a defense when I played, so
Speaker 8: I think, honestly, that's you got to build from the
Speaker 8: back out, So you're going to really see strong defenders.
Speaker 7: But you know, really dynamic, really fast.
Speaker 8: I would love a team that's, even though I'm talking
Speaker 8: about defense, that's scoring seven goals a game.
Speaker 7: I just I love goal scoring.
Speaker 8: So I think you're it's definitely not going to be
Speaker 8: a boring team to watch.
Speaker 4: You mentioned the pool of players. Where's women's hockey right
Speaker 4: now for you in Canada. I mean in British Columbia.
Speaker 4: I can tell you Don and I had kids in
Speaker 4: minor hockey. We saw a ton of women's teams getting
Speaker 4: good coaching. Now there's a lot of good coaches players.
Speaker 4: Where's that pool prospect in Canada right now for you?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 8: The prospect pool is across Canada.
Speaker 7: We have some really exciting.
Speaker 8: Players coming out of British Columbia and the Vancouver area itself,
Speaker 8: but you'll find them all all across Canada.
Speaker 7: Numbers are growing at such an alarming rate.
Speaker 8: I remember when when I was young, we really had
Speaker 8: to play ring at our boys hockey for most of it.
Speaker 8: So to see all the like U sticks you, eight,
Speaker 8: like you, twelve teams that are all girls, multiple girls
Speaker 8: teams in every cities, it's it's incredible. The numbers are
Speaker 8: expanding at an amazing rate and that's what's going to
Speaker 8: produce the best players in the future.
Speaker 4: What about going from player, sorry for player, coach to GM.
Speaker 4: I mean, you did a great job in Princeton. Now
Speaker 4: you go from being behind the bench upstairs the boss.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean some things I think are going to
Speaker 8: be a little bit easier when you get to watch
Speaker 8: from up top, you can sleep a little better. I'm
Speaker 8: not yellow the officials quite as often as I do
Speaker 8: from the bench, But part of what I loved about
Speaker 8: my job was building teams and building cultures.
Speaker 7: I think that's a big role of the head.
Speaker 8: Coach and it transfers perfectly to the role of GM. So,
Speaker 8: you know, I'm sure like the daily you know, interactions
Speaker 8: and being in the fire is something that on some
Speaker 8: level on this but on another level, it's kind of
Speaker 8: nice to get to watch it from up top.
Speaker 1: What was it like coaching hockey at Princeton University? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I coached min Ivy League parents. What was that like?
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh no, the parents are great.
Speaker 8: You just you really have to know what you're talking
Speaker 8: about and why you're talking about it, because the Ivy
Speaker 8: League students and Princeton students, like, they're incredibly intelligent and
Speaker 8: they're going to ask you why on everything.
Speaker 7: So as long as you're ready and you know why you're.
Speaker 8: Doing the things you're doing, it's incredible. And I will
Speaker 8: tell you, the conversations at pregame meal will blow your mind,
Speaker 8: Like the things they're talking about that they're learning in
Speaker 8: school and like studying. They'll they'll talk at the table
Speaker 8: at meals and you're just like, wow, these are some
Speaker 8: of the most intelligent, bright young leaders, like in the world.
Speaker 1: We're talking with that. Kara Gardner Morian, you gm A
Speaker 1: Vancouver's new pwhl A franchise. Your husband is Sean Mourray,
Speaker 1: former NFL receivers special teams demon Steelers, Patriots, Cardinals, Seahawks
Speaker 1: as well, just down the road here. Does it help
Speaker 1: Kara being so close to somebody who can relate to
Speaker 1: the ups and downs of sports, in this case pro.
Speaker 7: Sports, Yeah, I think it does. It's going to translate
Speaker 7: well because I think one of the.
Speaker 8: Harder parts for me, you know, fifteen years ago or so,
Speaker 8: was the first time it was traded or taken off
Speaker 8: waivers and understanding that professional sports is a little bit
Speaker 8: different where you go, where you know, the gms pull
Speaker 8: you and you might have to pick up and move
Speaker 8: in two weeks, and that's the business of the sport.
Speaker 8: And I think when I was young, like and never
Speaker 8: been a professional athlete myself, I was like really kind
Speaker 8: of taken aback by that, and then slowly you realize
Speaker 8: the business.
Speaker 7: You understand how contracts work, it.
Speaker 8: Was nice to see that side of the game for
Speaker 8: this position.
Speaker 1: Kara, the Canucks don't have a practice facility. What can
Speaker 1: you tell us about What can you tell us about
Speaker 1: your team's practice facility at the Agrodome.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're incredibly lucky and super blessed not only having
Speaker 8: our own practice facility, but being the primary tenant in
Speaker 8: the Pacific Coliseum.
Speaker 7: I think we're the only team.
Speaker 8: In the league to be a primary tenant, and that's
Speaker 8: just a testament to the city of Vancouver and PNY
Speaker 8: and how much they're embracing and supporting this team. So
Speaker 8: we feel incredibly lucky. I think it's going to be
Speaker 8: a great tool to draw some of the best players
Speaker 8: in the league towards Vancouver, and again, it just shows
Speaker 8: what a commitment this city has and the passion that
Speaker 8: they're showing for this team.
Speaker 1: This has been great. We'll get you back on soon.
Speaker 1: All the best on June ninth, that expansion draft and
Speaker 1: everything going forward.
Speaker 8: Thank you so much, appreciate it.

Speaker 1: Sound like up since ninety three in the Montreal Canadians,
Speaker 1: Big Rye, the Oilers are definitely more banged up than
Speaker 1: the Panthers because no Holloway or Broberg either.
Speaker 4: Oh that's so weak. What Holloway Broberg?
Speaker 1: Why is that week?
Speaker 4: They're not with the Oilers anymore?
Speaker 1: What are you talking? No? No, why are you talking to me?
Speaker 1: Why am I ginging? I'm getting tolightally confused. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: you're making a good joke here. I thought you were
Speaker 1: making a joke. Are you're looking at something from last year? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I was something goodness, something that the worst you got
Speaker 1: one foot out the door.
Speaker 5: I got confused. Hey, just worry about Evander k and
Speaker 5: his importance.

Speaker 5: Five hundred savings only until me the third first, which
Speaker 5: is Sunday No Tomorrow on the Outlander plug In Hybrid
Speaker 5: in Serimonsubishi Instore zero day one, fourth Avenue in Surrey tomorrow.
Speaker 1: This is starting to become like, uh Yiyln hall Away
Speaker 1: is going to be there signing autograph.
Speaker 5: What was what was the the the mister showbiz bit.
Speaker 5: That's kind of what the segment's turning into the former
Speaker 5: ten three. Yeah, I'm getting everything wrong. I won't get
Speaker 5: this wrong though, I can promise you that. And that
Speaker 5: is the white Caps announcing, uh, yesterday some great news
Speaker 5: to see what a dummy Uh That watch party we
Speaker 5: mentioned happening at Terry Fox Plaza for Sunday's.
Speaker 1: Big game against cruz Azul in the concer CAF Champions
Speaker 1: Cup Final it's sold out.
Speaker 5: With the watch party, twenty five hundred fans will be
Speaker 5: packed into Terry Fox Plaza. And more importantly, it was
Speaker 5: a five dollars donation to get a ticket for the
Speaker 5: watch party. Twelve six hundred dollars are being is going
Speaker 5: to be donated to the white Caps FC Foundation. So
Speaker 5: really good thing happening again outdoor Terry Fox Plaza. Watch
Speaker 5: party happening at BC Place. And if you're not going
Speaker 5: to the watch party and you're not going to Mexico
Speaker 5: to check out the match, which you probably should be
Speaker 5: leaving pretty soon. If you're going to Mexico for it,
Speaker 5: a reminder, it's on one Soccer. That's how you can
Speaker 5: watch one soccer the game six o'clock on Sunday. And
Speaker 5: by the way, double check your teles subscription because tell
Speaker 5: Us channel nine to eighty on tell Us has one
Speaker 5: Soccer for certain subscribers. Yeah nice, so double check that.
Speaker 5: If not, you got to go on the website one.
Speaker 5: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 4: It's the biggest game in franchise history and ninety percent
Speaker 4: of the public doesn't get it. The other ten percent
Speaker 4: have to spend an hour to find Soccer one.
Speaker 1: And you have to buck up, and you have to
Speaker 1: buck up.
Speaker 4: It is absolutely ludicrous that the white Caps are putting
Speaker 4: their fans.
Speaker 1: It's not the white stop an MLS contract. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: not this one, not this one. This well, because this
Speaker 1: is a Conca calf thing. It's not nothing to.
Speaker 5: Do with the MLS, right, yeah, yeah, so it's not
Speaker 5: it's not not really the MLS. I would say it's
Speaker 5: more Conca calf than one soccer having this agreement. But Rick,
Speaker 5: to your point, I agree, horrible, like this should and
Speaker 5: and I understand rights agreements and all of that, but
Speaker 5: it's too bad.
Speaker 1: There's not a way that TSN and one soccer can't
Speaker 1: come to some last minute agreement and say, because of
Speaker 1: the magnitude of the match, it's going to be on TSN.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they've got nothing else on their network
Speaker 1: right now. There's no NBA. Well I guess there is
Speaker 1: NBA tomorrow, but it's quiet times for them right now.
Speaker 1: It should be readily available. Horrible.
Speaker 5: This is arguably the biggest, well it is biggest moments
Speaker 5: in soccer seventy nine.
Speaker 1: It is it is it is. You just mentioned the
Speaker 1: watch party being sold out. Yeah, there hasn't been a
Speaker 1: buzz like this for the white Caps, all due respect,
Speaker 1: since they started back in twenty eleven. This is it.
Speaker 1: Well and outside of that game against Messi here as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: but involved in this run though to your point, it's
Speaker 1: still been part terms of what the team is up
Speaker 1: to exactly. This is number one. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I got to spend an hour finding this soccer one.
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And I'm more worried about the pre ten bucks. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's not a surprise. Okay, moving on here.
Speaker 5: Amazon had their upfronts earlier this week, Amazon Canada.
Speaker 1: That is what the go ahead and they they officially
Speaker 1: streaming here. They officially unveiled the roster for season two
Speaker 1: of Face Off Inside the NHL. Of course, last season
Speaker 1: featured Quinn Hughes. So this year it's a long list
Speaker 1: of names that are There's one name there that I
Speaker 1: think is going to be eliminated, Channa. Yes, well it'll
Speaker 1: be the end of his story somewhere else. At the
Speaker 1: end of his story could be interesting. There's more names involved. This,
Speaker 1: This stuff has already been done. This would have been
Speaker 1: this is all in the can I stand corrected?
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, throughout this past season The only interesting
Speaker 5: thing on here though, is the fact that there are
Speaker 5: no this time around, there's well there's no Edmonton.
Speaker 1: Oilers involved in it.
Speaker 5: But I'm trying to remember, I don't think last year,
Speaker 5: because the final two episodes of last season just have
Speaker 5: revolved around the Cup final.
Speaker 1: Remember we had the famous clip, Yeah, I mean Davian.
Speaker 5: There's also the famous clip that's been going around a
Speaker 5: lot in last twenty four hours of Zach Hyman post
Speaker 5: game last year when he said stood up and said,
Speaker 5: I feel it in my heart We're gonna.
Speaker 1: Be back here. So it's got a lot of play.
Speaker 1: So Matthew Kachuck's evolved. The big names. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: run through all of them. Well, brothers a lot. I
Speaker 1: needed to say Crosby but Flurry and his Crosby Flurry song.
Speaker 1: But also Miko Ranton in right the double trade in
Speaker 1: season I mean that that'll be something interesting, and his
Speaker 1: lack of production in the postseason as well, but both
Speaker 1: Ka Chuck brothers back of production in the last half
Speaker 1: of Dallas's postseason. Yeah, well, I look, I said to
Speaker 1: you before the show, thought, okay Ranton and you could
Speaker 1: poke holes in because if you look at his overall statistics,
Speaker 1: you go, oh, that's not that bad. But if you
Speaker 1: take out.
Speaker 5: The two hat trick games, which are back to back,
Speaker 5: he has three goals.
Speaker 1: But also tell people what you told me. You agreed
Speaker 1: with what I said yesterday. I've got some blowback, and
Speaker 1: everybody's welcome to their opinion. Love it in the Delaney's inbox.
Speaker 1: But I just don't think his effort levels gripped. Man.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's hurt, and that's the thing, like, we'll see
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 5: But again, as I made the point with Austin Matthews
Speaker 5: when people would say that too, oh maybe he's he's
Speaker 5: banged up or whatever.
Speaker 1: All we can know is what we know, and we
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 5: That any of these guys are injured until they want
Speaker 5: to say in their post season presser that I had
Speaker 5: this and I had that.
Speaker 1: That's fine, but can I ask this to this is
Speaker 1: throughout the season they've been cameras. I think it's Christmas
Speaker 1: on Okay, I believe I'm just wondering about foreign nations. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Harley there got the call rather late. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think that they that they would have
Speaker 1: been rolling on that. But there was also the foreign
Speaker 1: Nations documentary they already had, right they've they already did that,
Speaker 1: so I don't know how much they'll be crossover. But
Speaker 1: it is interesting that a lot.
Speaker 5: Of these names were also involved in both Kachuck Brothers,
Speaker 5: right Seth Jarvis, Harley Kneelander.
Speaker 1: For Sweden, you mentioned it, they provided a cardboard box
Speaker 1: for Shanahan.
Speaker 5: I think, well that will be interesting, Like do they
Speaker 5: have him cleaning on his office.
Speaker 1: That would be good film, good cinema, you know, putting
Speaker 1: away his little name plate there, family photos or just thrashing.
Speaker 1: I mean that would be yes.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean look they had me David spaz out,
Speaker 5: yeah in Game seven last year.
Speaker 1: Maybe Shannan will be doing you know, kids up the
Speaker 1: phone with Keith Pelly, just throwing things around, ripping up let,
Speaker 1: ripping up letterhead would be massive. Yes, absolutely, absolutely so anyway,
Speaker 1: season two, and I gotta be honest, I enjoyed it
Speaker 1: more than I thought I was going to season one,
Speaker 1: because maybe it's because we're so involved in hockey. I
Speaker 1: like to sometimes take these things down a peg where
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed other sports documentaries more like the F one
Speaker 1: one I really enjoy and Full Swing I really enjoyed.
Speaker 1: But the accent they spent with Quinn Hues was really interesting.
Speaker 1: You know, it is cooking that sort of thing. That
Speaker 1: was great. With the awful TV setup, Yeah, Quinn needs
Speaker 1: some help. You know what. You came to my place
Speaker 1: and you ripped into my mind. That was also weak. Okay, TV,
Speaker 1: you are a man cave snob. I've been to it
Speaker 1: could use some work. Yeah, what I got three screens,
Speaker 1: they're mounted, there's cables are hidden. Quinn us.
Speaker 4: It was like, why do you need three screens? How
Speaker 4: do you watch three different sporting events at the same time?
Speaker 5: Because because I I have my eyes move, I can
Speaker 5: absorb at the level you guys don't know.
Speaker 1: One of those odds makers in Vegas. Yeah, exactly, it's
Speaker 1: the young kids these days.
Speaker 4: Donnie and I grew up with the television, remember the
Speaker 4: Wooden Ones, the heavy wood Donnie. The TVs wait so much,
Speaker 4: and we didn't have remote control.
Speaker 1: You had to turn the knob, but you guys were
Speaker 1: I was a remote control for my dad's far Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: We only had nine channels in the eighties and you
Speaker 4: got three TVs with three different games.
Speaker 1: But come on, he's he is a man cave stop.
Speaker 1: I've improved mine, by the way, I would never have
Speaker 1: a man cave. I think it's stupid. Why why why
Speaker 1: can't you just sit in your living room with just
Speaker 1: no I want to I want to go away. Yeah, stop,
Speaker 1: you know, kick everybody out of the living room. There's
Speaker 1: there's a couple members of my family. No name is mentioned. Quick.
Speaker 1: You're watching hockey again, you know I don't need that
Speaker 1: quick right, No, I am so if we're down to

Speaker 9: Oh man, come on now it's uh. I got my
Speaker 9: my dear old mom. She's eighty three years old. She
Speaker 9: is the biggest hockey fan in medicine. Hat loves her Tigers,
Speaker 9: you know, curls three times a week. She I need
Speaker 9: to know exactly what's going on with every one of
Speaker 9: the players, and we be up to speak because when
Speaker 9: I call, when I call her, she needs to talk Tigers,
Speaker 9: so and so. Yeah, it's been it's been fun obviously
Speaker 9: with Gavin McKenna, special player. It's good to see Willie.
Speaker 9: It's funny I saw will I saw the Tigers and
Speaker 9: when Willy brought them to the Cup in four in
Speaker 9: Colowna and at the Memorial Cup here in Vancouver in
Speaker 9: two thousand and seven when Milan Lucic and his team won.
Speaker 9: So it's good to see back at the Big Dance.
Speaker 9: And he's got a heck of a team. One thing
Speaker 9: I don't like. I don't like this layoff. That's the
Speaker 9: thing that scares me. But you know, I hate the layoff.
Speaker 9: But we'll see.
Speaker 1: What do you think of Gavin McKenna, Well, he's special.
Speaker 9: I think there's a couple of things that it's interesting,
Speaker 9: right We've got we had Connor Berdard, We've had mclin Celebrini,
Speaker 9: and now we've got Gavin McKenna. That there's something in
Speaker 9: the water out here in the West with the number
Speaker 9: one overall picks and not just one overall picks, but
Speaker 9: like special. You know, I'd hate to use it. I
Speaker 9: won't say the word generational because that's get around a
Speaker 9: little bit too much, but upper echelon special potential players there.
Speaker 9: So I think the most interesting thing with Gavin McKenna Dahlia,
Speaker 9: and I'd love to hear your opinion on this is
Speaker 9: just what does he do next year? Does he go
Speaker 9: back to medicine hat or take the nil money and
Speaker 9: go play college like that is I mean, this whole
Speaker 9: college situation is find really fascinating just for what it's
Speaker 9: going to do to junior hockey and and just the
Speaker 9: development model and how it relates to NHL teams too.
Speaker 9: I think is is kind of fascinating because it's been
Speaker 9: it's a total change.
Speaker 4: And talking agent's Trevor, they're saying that the kids are
Speaker 4: dominating at fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, they don't want to go
Speaker 4: back to the W eighteen. They're going to continue to dominate,
Speaker 4: So let's go to college and play twenty year olds,
Speaker 4: twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four year olds.
Speaker 4: So boys hockey changing, Trevor, Look at the BC Hockey League,
Speaker 4: look at the Western League. I mean, what are your
Speaker 4: thoughts on all these changes in junior hockey.
Speaker 1: WE'RECEIVD.
Speaker 9: I mean, I think it's interesting because and there's another
Speaker 9: way to look at it, like so a lot of times,
Speaker 9: these kids that graduate as nineteen year olds out of
Speaker 9: the Western League to make to go to the American
Speaker 9: Hockey League is a massive jump and it's difficult to do.
Speaker 9: So these kids that graduate out of junior hockey at
Speaker 9: nineteen go play at the University of Michigan or Denver.
Speaker 9: I mean, it's gonna make college hockey older. It's going
Speaker 9: to make junior hockey a little younger, but junior hockey
Speaker 9: is going to get better. I mean the CHL because
Speaker 9: all kids they're not going to go to the USHL anymore.
Speaker 9: They don't have to rush to college. They can come
Speaker 9: play junior hockey. So it's it's it's fascinating. I think
Speaker 9: it's I think it's obviously it's a good thing to
Speaker 9: have these kids that are sixteen years old, fifteen years
Speaker 9: old making a decision on like what they want to
Speaker 9: do either college or junior is a was a brutal
Speaker 9: position to put these kids and families in. So having
Speaker 9: that not be such a big decision at such a
Speaker 9: young age is a good thing, Trevor.
Speaker 4: I always remember ninety four and how hard it was,
Speaker 4: But winning the Cup isn't any easier now than it
Speaker 4: was in ninety four.
Speaker 1: Look at these teams.
Speaker 4: Look at the injuries when teams get knocked out, Trevor,
Speaker 4: broken this, broken that, and guys are playing through, you know,
Speaker 4: to win the Cup. It's it's just the hardest trophy, Trevor.
Speaker 4: It's got to be the hardest trophy to win.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, there's no question, guys. I think it's it's harder
Speaker 9: now because I think just getting to the playoffs is
Speaker 9: harder than it was. Think about this, guys. When I
Speaker 9: started in eighty eight with one teams in the league, yeah,
Speaker 9: sixteen of them made the playoffs, Like are you kidding?
Speaker 9: Like five teams didn't make the playoffs, Like, and now
Speaker 9: you've got thirty two teams, sixteen of them don't make
Speaker 9: the playoffs. So just getting there is harder because the
Speaker 9: games are more intense earlier in the season and it
Speaker 9: ramps up sooner. The competition is tough. And then yeah,
Speaker 9: no question, I mean the game is so good. I
Speaker 9: mean the players are so much better than they were,
Speaker 9: you know, back when I started, And it's faster, it's harder,
Speaker 9: and I you know, I think that especially in hockey,
Speaker 9: it's just you just don't know who's gonna win. It's
Speaker 9: just so hard. You know, you get on a roll,
Speaker 9: your goaltender, you know, Skinner gets on a roll. Like
Speaker 9: who would have thought, like the fact I was so wrong,
Speaker 9: so wrong. I mean, because if you put Dallas and
Speaker 9: Evanton on paper, if you're a general manager, you'd say,
Speaker 9: I'll take Dallas's goaltender all day long. I'll take Dallas
Speaker 9: so long, and I'll take Dallas's depth at the forward
Speaker 9: position all day long. I mean, and and I'd even
Speaker 9: take their coach over no block, He's got more experience,
Speaker 9: et cetera. So and then you see what happened. But
Speaker 9: you know, the game. The great thing about hockey is
Speaker 9: the game is played on the ice. And Emonton's got
Speaker 9: the two best players in the world and they are
Speaker 9: incredible and difference makers, and so it's it's it surprised me,
Speaker 9: especially going down in five games like that. Was that's
Speaker 9: a shocker for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, Trevor, I want to talk about a certain
Speaker 1: night this past winter, if you don't mind, What was
Speaker 1: it like being at Rogers arena with your son for
Speaker 1: Patty O'Neil's special special night. I think we have some
Speaker 1: visuals as well. What was that like?
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I mean, first of all, just uh just
Speaker 9: saying hi to Patty and and uh boy that uh
Speaker 9: we we've yeah, we've been through a lot together. And
Speaker 9: having Roman be able to meet Patty and go down
Speaker 9: to the dress room. He's seven now, so just uh,
Speaker 9: you know, he's just uh all eyes, lots of questions.
Speaker 9: So uh yeah, I just could seeing those guys. And
Speaker 9: great for Patty that he's had such a great career
Speaker 9: and able to step away at a time he can go.
Speaker 9: And I mean it's such a commitment to be in
Speaker 9: that role and and I think it's forty years like
Speaker 9: so when he, he and I first year was in
Speaker 9: was in Vancouver in eighty eight. We came at the
Speaker 9: same time. So yeah, super fun. It was awesome.
Speaker 1: Which it like having your kid go to games. Now
Speaker 1: having Roman go to games.
Speaker 9: It's fun. I mean he uh, last year in the
Speaker 9: playoffs we saw the Nashville One of the Nashville games,
Speaker 9: we sat in the stands, which was awesome because the
Speaker 9: first time I ever sat in the stands really and
Speaker 9: I wanted home to have that experience. And and so he's, uh,
Speaker 9: he's pretty funny. He's got a lot of great questions
Speaker 9: and kind of like, dad, did you really play here? Like?
Speaker 9: You know? So, and he comes home from he came
Speaker 9: home from school the other day and that that clip
Speaker 9: of Jeff Norton going through the glasses was anniversary of that.
Speaker 9: So that was kind of going around. And so some
Speaker 9: of the kids at school were saying to him and
Speaker 9: they're like, hey, could you They say, hey, could you
Speaker 9: ask your dad? Why did he hit that guy through
Speaker 9: the glass. So Roman, the kids the school was saying
Speaker 9: that you hit a guy through the glass. So we
Speaker 9: watched the video tape. He said, Dad, why did you
Speaker 9: do that? I said, well, I didn't mean to hit
Speaker 9: him through the glass. It's just kind of what happened,
Speaker 9: you know what I mean. So, yeah, he's fun stuff
Speaker 9: like that because he's uh, lots lots of fun.
Speaker 1: Okay, while we're on this subject of the Caducks, Trevor,
Speaker 1: I got to ask you, can you envision Elias Petterson
Speaker 1: having a strong offseason and turning his career around?
Speaker 9: I mean you yeah, I mean you gotta hope.
Speaker 1: So I'm not.
Speaker 9: The commitment that the team made to him obviously significant.
Speaker 9: I mean, they are banking on this guy to be
Speaker 9: the player, and I'm not sure exactly what goes on
Speaker 9: with Elias. Obviously I knew him, we drafted him and
Speaker 9: spent some time with him, and the last year I
Speaker 9: was there, clearly, you know, I think he's really got
Speaker 9: to take ownership of where he's at and where he
Speaker 9: needs to be. And you know, just to read some
Speaker 9: of the comments, I don't know if there's a rift
Speaker 9: between Danny and Hank, And it's just crazy to me,
Speaker 9: but he needs to step up as a pro, and
Speaker 9: step up as a professional and and and deliver what's expected.
Speaker 9: I mean, he's capable of it, for sure, but there's
Speaker 9: just times where he just looks disengaged and uninterested. And
Speaker 9: that's that's concerning.
Speaker 1: So we all know about Petterson versus Miller. So you
Speaker 1: were the conductor captain at one point. I'm sure this
Speaker 1: this happened. You were there for a long time. What
Speaker 1: would you do if two teammates weren't getting along and
Speaker 1: it might and it was affecting the team?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean that situation was I don't just don't
Speaker 9: know I've ever seen this before, guys in any like
Speaker 9: like I mean, like what like baseball, football, basketball, hockey.
Speaker 9: I mean, we just I just have never seen the
Speaker 9: situation before where one of the one of your top
Speaker 9: players had to be traded because these guys couldn't get along. Like,
Speaker 9: I just never seen it before. And I know, you know,
Speaker 9: obviously JT is abrasive. He can be, and you know,
Speaker 9: we love his emotion on the ice and how he plays.
Speaker 9: Sometimes that doesn't always serve him well with teammates and
Speaker 9: in the locker room. But at the same time, some
Speaker 9: of that's okay. I mean everyone's got to be a
Speaker 9: big boy in the locker room. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 9: sure how much that affected Elias. I mean, clearly it
Speaker 9: was a situation that had to change, But yeah, I
Speaker 9: just never seen it before, you know. I Mean there's
Speaker 9: obviously times where not everyone's best friends on a team
Speaker 9: and that's accepted, but everyone understands to get in the
Speaker 9: locker room, they're they're there to do one thing. And
Speaker 9: this seemed just to get just, you know, completely in
Speaker 9: the wrong direction.
Speaker 4: Trevor, when you were the press, the Canucks had the
Speaker 4: farm team in Utica. Now it's an abosper Look what's happening.
Speaker 4: I mean, they're in the Western Final last night, a
Speaker 4: huge crowd, they sold out the next game.
Speaker 1: How good to see Abisperd doing well.
Speaker 9: And Maddy mahulters, well, ah, I've actually got to be surprised.
Speaker 9: I thought Manny was the guy that they would bring
Speaker 9: in for that job. I really did. I was shocked actually,
Speaker 9: But yeah, I mean the biggest thing with Utica guys
Speaker 9: is that, you know, as far as a development model,
Speaker 9: it was good because every trip was a bus ride.
Speaker 9: For that there was you know what I mean. And
Speaker 9: they had more more practice time, better practice time, more
Speaker 9: training time, you know, and and you know, it's been
Speaker 9: great here. It's been awesome here. You know how I
Speaker 9: talked to uh who I talk Oh, I was talking
Speaker 9: to Scottie Walker the other day. His kid plays out there.
Speaker 9: Uh and uh, just you know the you know, bussing
Speaker 9: from Abbotsford to the airport to clearing customs, to flying
Speaker 9: down south to coming back to clearing customs. You know,
Speaker 9: that's that's but I mean, it's been great to be
Speaker 9: closer to the team, no doubt about it, you know
Speaker 9: what I mean. And Abbotsford embraced that club, and it's
Speaker 9: just great to have that Vancouver feel with your with
Speaker 9: your you know, with your farm team. And it's a
Speaker 9: huge win for the organization. And and but definitely nice
Speaker 9: to see Ryan Johnson and Manny have success down there.
Speaker 9: Two guys I loved working with and so it's nice
Speaker 9: to see them doing well.
Speaker 1: I gotta say, as we wrap this thing up, Trevor,
Speaker 1: you kind of disappointed me here because no, well no,
Speaker 1: because Eleas Petterson, what does he have to do in
Speaker 1: the off season? Join Club sixteen? Club six Come on,
Speaker 1: you missed it.
Speaker 9: I'm giving you the summer for free. Re alius. I
Speaker 9: know you're getting I know you're making twelve sheets a year,

Speaker 9: like you and I yes, yeah, you can't turn that down.
Speaker 3: Donny.
Speaker 9: Look at Dollie. He looks like, look at him.
Speaker 1: That could be you. Yeah, yeah, sure. Hey Trevor, can
Speaker 1: I just clear something up here? You just said something
Speaker 1: and we're getting some reaction here. When you said a
Speaker 1: rift between Dan Neil and Henrick, you meant a rift
Speaker 1: between Daniel and Hendrick and Elias right, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I just I don't know anything about that.
Speaker 1: Guys, it's out there, but it's out, it's out there.
Speaker 1: Travel we've heard it, we've heard it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I don't I don't know what that means. No, no, no,
Speaker 9: Danny k no. But yeah, I mean and even like
Speaker 9: you know Elias with his car, I know he picked
Speaker 9: I know he cleaned it up, but his comments about
Speaker 9: the market and playing in front of the fans, I mean,
Speaker 9: it's just not you just that is not where you
Speaker 9: want to go. And you don't have to look too far.
Speaker 9: You can look to number thirty three and number twenty two.
Speaker 9: Nobody took more criticism earlier in their what they couldn't do,
Speaker 9: And you know what those guys did. They just went
Speaker 9: to work and they just worked and worked. And he
Speaker 9: could not ask for better role models, especially for a
Speaker 9: young Swedish player in market such as this, to how
Speaker 9: to handle that, like are you kidding me? Like it's
Speaker 9: on a t if you're not sitting there talking to
Speaker 9: these guys every single day about what's going on for
Speaker 9: you and how to handle things. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 9: it couldn't be any simpler for me.

Speaker 1: you can enjoy twenty taps and twenty screens. You're home
Speaker 1: for the conduction UFC. Come sit and stay at the

Speaker 4: Ryan got her up. The Waddling Dog pop poll question
Speaker 4: very simple. Who's gonna win the Stanley Cup? The Orders
Speaker 4: of Panthers leading right now is the Panthers at fifty
Speaker 4: eight percent, but not far behind it forty two percent.
Speaker 1: The Orders over a thousand votes already.
Speaker 4: It's hopping. It's popping on a Friday.
Speaker 1: Game one is Wednesday. Game two is Friday. No weekend
Speaker 1: games until game five. Yeah, that's I don't like that,
Speaker 1: but I understand he could say Friday night is a
Speaker 1: weekend television.
Speaker 4: Television, Television dictates everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know people in Canada want to see
Speaker 1: a game on Saturday. It's Saturday night. Hot I do anyway,
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's tradition. Meanwhile, again, bye boy, Trevor
Speaker 1: lin Oh you look at that interview and you just
Speaker 1: say to yourself and just how much passion he has
Speaker 1: for not just the Medicine Hat Tigers who play in
Speaker 1: the Memorial Cup Final on Sunday, but the Vancouver Canucks.
Speaker 1: Just it's just too bad. It broke down between Trevor
Speaker 1: Linnen and the Canucks when he was president. It was
Speaker 1: Trevor Linn the owner. He proposed her and I don't
Speaker 1: know how you messed that up. He messed it up.
Speaker 4: The owner messed it up because he wanted to rebuild.
Speaker 4: Trevor Benning said two more years. The owner said, oh,
Speaker 4: you're gonna fix it in two years and then okay,
Speaker 4: I'll take you by Trevor. Big mistake.
Speaker 1: And yet every time I bring up or rebuild you
Speaker 1: get upset, but it's okay with Trevord, Dottie. It's eight
Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah, where would they be now if they
Speaker 1: want to rebuilt when Trevor told them the rebuild, Yes,
Speaker 1: it'd be in a better spot today. Sure, So why
Speaker 1: is it any different now?
Speaker 4: Because they got a guy named Quinn Hughes who's gonna walk.
Speaker 1: To that ye might walk anyway? More importantly, is what
Speaker 1: you said.
Speaker 5: Nobody cares more about this franchise, all due respect, everyone
Speaker 5: sittings everything.
Speaker 1: Nobody cares. Yeah, but Trevor Linden is right there, along
Speaker 1: with Stan Smiel and others. They all stand. And the
Speaker 1: fact that Lyndon was only in that position what feels
Speaker 1: like a cup of coffee and they amicably split, And
Speaker 1: the fact that Francesco never even really had to answer
Speaker 1: for that is that's wrong to me. It's ridiculous. It's
Speaker 1: insane that that hound did not treat him good at
Speaker 1: the brutal ridiculous, ridiculous.
Speaker 5: And good on Trevor because he's taking the high road.
Speaker 5: He's been back in the building since and all that.
Speaker 1: But and he but he's still not afraid to speak
Speaker 1: his mind now, and much of what he says, including
Speaker 1: what he says about it. LEAs Peterson is, I think
Speaker 1: bang On you had some updates when it comes to Connuck,
Speaker 1: UFAs or Penning, use.
Speaker 4: So u Brock Besser, my gut still says he ends
Speaker 4: up going to July first Onny. But I do expect
Speaker 4: the Canucks to take a final run at re signing
Speaker 4: him in June. I thought they didn't want him back.
Speaker 4: Gonna explain, Uh, what price is high on the trade
Speaker 4: market down. Don't be surprised now if the Canucks go
Speaker 4: back at Besser with an improved offer. You got to
Speaker 4: remember what do we talk about. Do they have draft capital,
Speaker 4: Do they have the draft picks, do they have the
Speaker 4: salary cap space? Do they have the prospects to bring
Speaker 4: in a top six forward? If you don't and the
Speaker 4: prices are high, maybe you go back to Brock and say, hey, Brock.
Speaker 1: Right, But is he pissed off? Well that they basically
Speaker 1: went public was saying we're done with.
Speaker 4: Them, thank you, thank you, and most likely it's too late.
Speaker 4: Is still get the feeling Brock felt disrespected this year.
Speaker 4: They did not go to him in the summer.
Speaker 1: Which he still evaluated.
Speaker 4: They evaluated and then the two Pittsburgh Penguins come to town
Speaker 4: and they signed both of them within two weeks. Down O'Connor,
Speaker 4: you know, and then Elvin's comments and the trade deadline
Speaker 4: about Brock. I mean, that didn't go over well with
Speaker 4: the best camp.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think he he people didn't understand what
Speaker 1: he was what he was saying there. Just keep an
Speaker 1: eye on Besser.
Speaker 4: I don't think the Canucks are one hundred percent out
Speaker 4: on this, and we'll keep an eye on Pa. Suitter
Speaker 4: checked in last night. Very quiet, quiet on for Bert
Speaker 4: and quiet on Juleson.
