Speaker 1: I'm into it now. Last night I was watching Iran
Speaker 1: and New Zealand. New Zealand, What a game to too? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the best of the four I thought.
Speaker 3: I thought the whole the whole day was just tremendous,
Speaker 3: all four matches ending in draws. But New Zealand and
Speaker 3: Iran seemilarly out of nowhere. The most entertaining tip to tail,
Speaker 3: I thought, But and and by the way, and Ryan,
Speaker 3: you can change chime in here if you as as
Speaker 3: if you won't anyway, So I get up in the morning. Okay,
Speaker 3: this is going to be a wipeout Cabo verdet versus Spain.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I have to admit I am the dumbest person
Speaker 3: in the world, and I certainly hear about that in.
Speaker 1: The bayside inbox a lot.
Speaker 3: I'd never heard of that country. It's off the west
Speaker 3: coast of Africa. I learned all up four hundred thousand people. Rick, Rick,
Speaker 3: just hold on, I know you're looking it up, but
Speaker 3: I'm sure you have a well to midfrom.
Speaker 1: Pardon me. It's located in the central on the.
Speaker 3: West coast, off the west coast of Africa.
Speaker 1: Ye, western, we said, no, right, yeah, three and fifty
Speaker 1: to fire miles.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: Anyway, some of us can use our brains.
Speaker 1: Other people have to use the computer. Okay, So I
Speaker 1: never heard of the country. Did you did anybody hear
Speaker 1: about it?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Know about it.
Speaker 3: And so this was just fascinating watching this and their goalkeeper,
Speaker 3: you know, like upping is Twitter account to five million people,
Speaker 3: like it was just it was just it's Fascinat's the
Speaker 3: World Cup. And I'll tell you what I I went
Speaker 3: downtown last week. I go for a little walk, get
Speaker 3: my steps in last week, and I was skeptical about
Speaker 3: the World Cup and you go downtown, this is when
Speaker 3: games aren't even on, and it's just buzzing down downtown.
Speaker 3: It's fantastic. We forget that the World Cup includes the
Speaker 3: world and it's the iied just about Canada and it
Speaker 3: just is so special and I'm I'm captivated by it
Speaker 3: and I can't wait for today. Four matches today, France
Speaker 3: is playing in Bape, that means in Bape, Norway with
Speaker 3: Holland and Argentina with the Messi and then you know,
Speaker 3: following up by Ostria versus Jordan. I can't wait to
Speaker 3: get home and watch. Not that I don't enjoy doing
Speaker 3: the show with you guys, So more on that a
Speaker 3: little bit later. But we wanted to talk about this.
Speaker 3: We are in Canada, but hockey Night in Canada. Big news,
Speaker 3: big news today. So Sportsnat's new NHL deal, the new
Speaker 3: contract twelve years. It starts in the fall after that
Speaker 3: has finished the first twelve year deal with the NHL.
Speaker 3: So today we find out Hockey Night in Canada is
Speaker 3: no longer going to be aired on CBC. There was
Speaker 3: a partnership there with Sportsnet over the last twelve years
Speaker 3: they both aired Hockey and eight in Canada. It's not
Speaker 3: going to be the case anymore gone, So Hockey Night
Speaker 3: in Canada on CBC. It's still going to be around
Speaker 3: on Sports then, but on CBC national institution that we
Speaker 3: all pay into. It goes back to nineteen twenty three
Speaker 3: on the radio.
Speaker 1: Yes, Ryan, make your joke.
Speaker 3: I remember nineteen twenty three I covered the first ever
Speaker 3: Hockey Night in Canada broadcast. I was on it, very funny.
Speaker 3: Nineteen fifty two for television, no longer on CBC.
Speaker 1: Are we going to be okay?
Speaker 4: For us?
Speaker 1: You and a seventy five year run And I can't
Speaker 1: tell you enough. In the seventies and eighties, at Donnie
Speaker 1: Hockey Night in Canada Saturday, the whole family would watch it.
Speaker 1: It was the go to thing to do there was
Speaker 1: nothing more Canadian than watching CBC on Saturday nights in
Speaker 1: the seventies and eighties and the sixties and fifties before that.
Speaker 1: But now there's five hundred channels. It's just it's lost
Speaker 1: its luster. It's not a big deal anymore because there's
Speaker 1: five hundred. No I know, because I go, what's the
Speaker 1: use when the same game is on CBC that is
Speaker 1: on Sports now, you just pick one of the two.
Speaker 1: It's back in the seventies and eighties, it meant something.
Speaker 1: We only had to what would your solution be there? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know what the solution is. I just see
Speaker 1: this media going in fifty different directions. I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I'd like the old days. I'd like when we all
Speaker 1: just sat together and watched hockey night.
Speaker 3: Why can't you still do that now? I know, I
Speaker 3: know where you're coming from, and I'm sad about it,
Speaker 3: i am, but it was redundant and I just wish
Speaker 3: it was just just on on CBC and that was it,
Speaker 3: just because I'm an old man and I don't want
Speaker 3: things to change. But it's still there. How can Canada
Speaker 3: is still there? Still nothing is stopping us from watching
Speaker 3: as a family or I find a lot. In a
Speaker 3: lot of cases, hocken It in Canada is just on,
Speaker 3: whether you're watching it intently or not, it's just on,
Speaker 3: and it's a Canadian tradition, and especially so when it
Speaker 3: was on CB see for us who.
Speaker 1: Were a little to older. You know, I missed the
Speaker 1: old intro jingle. I don't know.
Speaker 3: What you know what, I am so bad. I don't
Speaker 3: even know what their intro is exactly. I can't remember
Speaker 3: when sports Net first took over and they were Remember
Speaker 3: TSN bought the theme and still owns the old Hoe
Speaker 3: in Canada theme. I don't even know what their theme
Speaker 3: is anymore, but I remember was a big deal to hear.
Speaker 1: The the that theme growing up was just that's what
Speaker 1: we look for.
Speaker 3: We have Ryan, I don't even know, like what it's
Speaker 3: not there isn't that they had a big remember they
Speaker 3: had a big contest when sports Net took over, several musicians. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they tried, came up with intest and somebody somebody wonted
Speaker 3: and they had bagpipes in.
Speaker 1: It was pretty good and.
Speaker 3: Then it just kind of went away. I don't even
Speaker 3: know what they have anymore. That's that's on me.
Speaker 1: I guess, I think.
Speaker 3: But anyway, it's not all about the theme. It's still
Speaker 3: going to be on but there's just something that that
Speaker 3: that's missing with it not being on CBC.
Speaker 1: What am I hearing here?
Speaker 4: I was trying to find the bagpipe one because that
Speaker 4: was the first one.
Speaker 3: Do you remember you remember the one I'm talking about?
Speaker 3: It wasn't I remember the first one. It wasn't as
Speaker 3: certainly coming out. She is the old one.
Speaker 4: I think it's this one. This is the this was
Speaker 4: the first new Hockey Night when after they lost, after
Speaker 4: they lost.
Speaker 3: A yeah, creak it up. Yeah, but they but the
Speaker 3: bottom there is a bagpipe.
Speaker 4: It was at the start. Yeah, it was at the start, right,
Speaker 4: but they they The bottom line is they had an
Speaker 4: intro that was like you knew it was unique.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no there A Bell bought it.
Speaker 4: There's yeah, which great. They use it on regional broadcasts.
Speaker 4: Good to use the money there. I don't know, there's
Speaker 4: just no uniqueness to rick. Rick is right, like Hockey
Speaker 4: Knights lost lost a bit of a shine because Hockey
Speaker 4: Night now on sports Net, which carries every other NHL game,
Speaker 4: is on on Saturday at four and stead and sure
Speaker 4: that part's unique. But none of it, none of it,
Speaker 4: none of none of nothing else is there's no unique
Speaker 4: graphic package. There's the studio looks a lot of the
Speaker 4: same as it does on Wednesday night. And whatever.
Speaker 3: Absolutely you have you have different hosts, You've got their
Speaker 3: main host there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't get Kevin.
Speaker 3: More on him later if we have time. By the way,
Speaker 3: David Amber and Kevin and and Elliott and Jennifer and
Speaker 3: Kelly and for whatever reason it's up, for whatever reason,
Speaker 3: it's over saturation. Here's my argument though, like just to
Speaker 3: play Devil's Advocate, do you want to go back to
Speaker 3: it once a week?
Speaker 4: No, but you could still make Hockey Night feels special.
Speaker 3: And that that you can think with something I know
Speaker 3: people think, what are you talking about music? Who can Well,
Speaker 3: that would make it special and a different just a different,
Speaker 3: more unique graphic path. Yes, something, just to separate it
Speaker 3: from what we see, you know, over the course of
Speaker 3: a week right on sports the right normally. But but
Speaker 3: I mean the do you want to go back to
Speaker 3: the old days when you know it was just.
Speaker 1: Saturday and the Blue Jackets.
Speaker 3: There was one game the light Blue Jacket, Light Blue Jackets,
Speaker 3: maybe a Wednesday broadcast that was it.
Speaker 1: Hey, you don't want to go back to that Dave
Speaker 1: Hodge throwing the pen, Howie Meeker, you missed it. They
Speaker 1: don't have that stuff anymore. It's just too bland. There's
Speaker 1: too many broadcasts. They don't think they're safe. For now
Speaker 1: it's much more safe as much. People can rip into
Speaker 1: them all they want. There's You're never gonna be anybody
Speaker 1: like Don Cherry. No, he was.
Speaker 3: He was a superstar of Canadian broadcasting and that's part
Speaker 3: of the reason why maybe we don't feel that hockey
Speaker 3: in Canada is as special as it used to be.
Speaker 3: And leaving CBC is a sad day for people like
Speaker 3: yourself and myself.
Speaker 1: We're older. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know how many people are gonna feel bad
Speaker 3: about it in the younger age group, like like young
Speaker 3: Ryan over here.
Speaker 4: I'm probably in the minority.
Speaker 1: People aren't old soul.
Speaker 4: A lot of people don't care. Just give me my game.
Speaker 4: I don't care what platform it's on. I don't care
Speaker 4: what that's the problem. I just want to see five
Speaker 4: hundred every game is on TV. That's the problem. But
Speaker 4: that's not a problem.
Speaker 1: It is a problem because everyone's flicking back and forth,
Speaker 1: and you're probably we had two options. We had CBC
Speaker 1: and the French channel. French channel would play the Habs
Speaker 1: and CBC.
Speaker 3: Would play the Leafs sometimes the same and we.
Speaker 1: Get a Canuck game every once every three months. But
Speaker 1: we were old that was better. No, no, but we
Speaker 1: were okay with it, and in some ways it was
Speaker 1: we were well, we were more focused. You absorbed it, Mormons,
Speaker 1: you absorbed it more.
Speaker 4: Our attention span.
Speaker 1: Now, how do you remember, like you'd even remember, you
Speaker 1: don't know what devil was CBC in the eighties.
Speaker 4: No, But okay, when I was growing up, not every
Speaker 4: Knuck game was on TV. I was getting you're getting
Speaker 4: closer to eighty two. But I remember every conversations in
Speaker 4: my family. People might remember this the yearly two thousands
Speaker 4: when the Knuck games were on pay per view, and
Speaker 4: my family would have conversations and whether or not we
Speaker 4: were going to buy the game because we weren't gonna
Speaker 4: buy every My parents were going to buck up for
Speaker 4: every hockey game.
Speaker 1: Especially the ones you were calling. That was gonna happen.
Speaker 1: So it was a preseason game.
Speaker 4: By the way, Derek, can you put this photo up?
Speaker 4: This photo is amazing that I just found. This is
Speaker 4: Bob Cole, that blue jacket. But see this, this was tradition.
Speaker 1: This was hockey night in Canada, and you know Jim
Speaker 1: robson War and we can go through all the names.
Speaker 1: Danny Gallovian, Oh my gosh, you.
Speaker 3: Guys, there seemed to be more character back then. Oh big, Like,
Speaker 3: I don't know why, And part of it is like
Speaker 3: right now, I am you know what I'm like, I'm
Speaker 3: anti panel. I I don't like it when there's six
Speaker 3: voices other than the NBA on ESPN with those guys
Speaker 3: are so entertaining. But but I just like I liked
Speaker 3: it when it was Cherry one on one with Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was, and I know there's you know, there's another
Speaker 3: story there with Ron and Don and what happened, you know,
Speaker 3: on that infamous night not that long ago when Don
Speaker 3: Cherry lost his job. But I really like that when
Speaker 3: you're really I'd love to see them do something like
Speaker 3: that with b X, just one on one with him.
Speaker 4: But no, because why why because the people are going
Speaker 4: to compare it to that, and they shouldn't let Kevin Kevin.
Speaker 3: Enough time has passed where maybe that you wouldn't see
Speaker 3: as many companions as you.
Speaker 1: We ran home, so we even if we played ball hockey,
Speaker 1: we ran home to not miss Don Cherry. We ran
Speaker 1: What is about today's broadcast that you're running home to
Speaker 1: get There's no there's nothing.
Speaker 3: Okay, nothing, I'm going to I like the rapport between
Speaker 3: Elliott and Kevin.
Speaker 1: It's very good.
Speaker 3: I think Ban McClain, despite what happened in game six
Speaker 3: and people, I want to talk about this later sometime
Speaker 3: during the week.
Speaker 1: I think that's that's very very good. But it's it's hard.
Speaker 3: You're right in a way, Ryan, it's hard to compare
Speaker 3: anything to Don Cherry. And you brought up another name,
Speaker 3: Rick that people forget. How Howie Meekers as an in
Speaker 3: game analyst.
Speaker 1: Oh, he really did a great job.
Speaker 3: Back it up, back it up, not just not not
Speaker 3: just telling you what was going on as an analyst.
Speaker 3: And there weren't many Howie Meekers around people who were
Speaker 3: really diving into the ins and outs of the game
Speaker 3: and providing all sorts of personality too. It was a
Speaker 3: great break today's broadcast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but how many? How many? The NHL hasn't produced
Speaker 4: a lot of those guys. We had one here, John
Speaker 4: Garrett was one here. Sure, I had a lot of
Speaker 4: character in game doing a broad find there's.
Speaker 3: More personalities on local broadcast than national ones. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: I just think again, Kevin and Elliott do do a
Speaker 3: fabulous job.
Speaker 4: They do, and I mean I just yeah, there's but
Speaker 4: what you.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Ryan, but what you said is I think bang on,
Speaker 3: you can't go back to.
Speaker 1: The old days.
Speaker 3: Hey, folks, guess what we're gonna you know, subtract a
Speaker 3: whole bunch of broadcasts during the week and we're only
Speaker 3: gonna have one game a week.
Speaker 1: That's not that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3: But what you said, you can differentiate separating from the
Speaker 3: rest of the broadcast by coming up with a kick
Speaker 3: ash theme, different graphics, you know, make different cameras, different
Speaker 3: camera angles. They've done that before.
Speaker 4: Try something. Look got started on.
Speaker 3: Camera angles, the refcam and all that, the power play cam.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, it would just add to it, is what
Speaker 4: I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Something different, But I different graphics, punchy punchy music. They
Speaker 3: could do different things. Maybe you did have an experiment
Speaker 3: with Kevin bi extra one on one. At least try it.
Speaker 3: If it works, that's fine. He's a real talent. So
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just think there's things they can separate.
Speaker 3: I think you're bang on with what you.
Speaker 1: Just said there. It's sad. It's sad, seventy five year
Speaker 1: run for CBC and it's tough. I mean for guys
Speaker 1: like you and I, Donnie, we remember, you know, but
Speaker 1: it's still gonna be on.
Speaker 4: But you know what, Donnie, you get it. There's a
Speaker 4: lot of people in the inbox. I think we're forgetting sometimes.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people in the inbox that might
Speaker 4: not have sports Net and so they were still watching
Speaker 4: hockey now on CBC. And I know, like we're in
Speaker 4: this day and age of like, well, you gotta join
Speaker 4: us or you're screwed. But it's not. Sometimes sometimes people
Speaker 4: think that's easier than what it is. Just sign up
Speaker 4: for sports and I'll just do this, like this guy,
Speaker 4: Peter Punk. There's also people in rule areas that you
Speaker 4: might not have digital access and all those sorts of
Speaker 4: things to just easily get sports Net and now you're
Speaker 4: being shut out with the end of CBC. I mean again,
Speaker 4: we just steam ahead nowadays, just like this is what
Speaker 4: we're doing almost too much.
Speaker 1: But there's too much like you could play. There's thirteen
Speaker 1: games on it one Rick, Right, Well, how are you
Speaker 1: gonna look around at thirteen games?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 3: But but I mean, are we gonna go backwards?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: But when when you you have to take everything into consideration,
Speaker 3: and what you're talking about is financial or just your
Speaker 3: current situation where you can't access it, you can't get
Speaker 3: it for whatever, for whatever reason. Maybe doubtedly it's a
Speaker 3: big corporation. Really doesn't care about anybody, including the Abbotsford Canucks.
Speaker 1: They don't, they don't. They don't care about anybody, don't.
Speaker 1: They don't think of it. They don't think of those things.
Speaker 1: We're gonna break.
Speaker 4: We gotta Travis.

Speaker 5: to come on and talk to you guys.
Speaker 3: No problem, DC Hockey Hall of Fame. What does that
Speaker 3: induction mean to you, Travis.
Speaker 7: Man, I don't even know if it's really sunk in
Speaker 7: still yet. I think, you know, the first thing that
Speaker 7: comes to mind is humbling. You know, as a kid
Speaker 7: growing up in Castle Gar pretty well only dreamed about
Speaker 7: playing in the NHL. Never once, you know, the dream
Speaker 7: of being in the in the Hall of Fame. Even
Speaker 7: when they called me it was it was.
Speaker 5: Humbling.
Speaker 7: It's just a great honor, be a great opportunity for
Speaker 7: me to thank some people that have meant so much
Speaker 7: to me in my life.
Speaker 3: Before we get into talking about your senators at Travis,
Speaker 3: what was it How did it all start for you?
Speaker 3: Were you a minor hockey phenom in Castle Guar.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I grew up playing in minor hockey and Castlegar
Speaker 7: pretty well, with the same group of friends the whole
Speaker 7: way through.
Speaker 5: It's such a small town.
Speaker 7: We didn't have a lot of you know, a ton
Speaker 7: of players or a lot of turnover from year to
Speaker 7: year on our teams. You know, I played Dane Jackson
Speaker 7: is a good name that played for the Canucks.
Speaker 5: Wellgo he was. We played on the same team growing
Speaker 5: up through our whole life.
Speaker 7: And then I got to play for the Castigar Rebels.
Speaker 7: I started the season as a fourteen year old and
Speaker 7: that was you know the Kijhl and back then you
Speaker 7: could have twenty one year olds, so I was playing
Speaker 7: against men that were, you know, six seven years older,
Speaker 7: and that was that was a real eye opener for me.
Speaker 5: But I really enjoyed that season. It was a great
Speaker 5: group of.
Speaker 7: Guys that brought me along and you know, I still
Speaker 7: talk about Castlegar.
Speaker 5: It's It's still home for me.
Speaker 7: It always will be, even though I don't live there.
Speaker 7: I try to go back and visit every summer. But
Speaker 7: a lot of my best friends are still guys that
Speaker 7: I played with and grew up going to high school with.
Speaker 1: Travis, your Ottawa senitors played Carolina and round one. Did
Speaker 1: you think after that series they could go all the
Speaker 1: way and win the Stanley Cup?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I did. I thought it before the series.
Speaker 7: I thought it after. You know, they're a team that's
Speaker 7: been knocking on the door. It seems like, you know,
Speaker 7: for a long time now. They always have a really
Speaker 7: good team. I love the way they play, and you know,
Speaker 7: you're never happy that anyone wins the Stanley Cup in.
Speaker 5: Our position or when you're in the league.
Speaker 7: You got to feel good about for them because they've
Speaker 7: been working to get there for a long time and
Speaker 7: have come up short, and yet they've still stuck to
Speaker 7: the process and their beliefs within their system.
Speaker 1: Travis, a lot of Jalen Chatfield talk this week in Vancouver.
Speaker 1: You had you had him in Vancous. Did you ever
Speaker 1: think this guy was going to be a top four
Speaker 1: right shot d and played that many minutes? He was
Speaker 1: pretty significant.
Speaker 7: He was awesome. You know, hey, I'm really happy for Chatty.
Speaker 7: He's a really hard worker. He really tries to work
Speaker 7: on his craft. I felt like the season that we
Speaker 7: had him, he played well for us. He probably played
Speaker 7: a little bit over his skis playing a little bit,
Speaker 7: you know. I remember times we were playing Chatty that
Speaker 7: year with Alex Adler at times, and but you could
Speaker 7: see that he was, you know, he was a real
Speaker 7: driven player. And you're happy for guys when they have success.
Speaker 7: And obviously he's matured a lot since then as a
Speaker 7: as a player in the NHL, which happens, you know,
Speaker 7: from your rookie season to your fifth, sixth, seventh year
Speaker 7: in the league, there's major change in a person's game.
Speaker 5: But you know, you're always happy for guys he've coached before,
Speaker 5: or that win.
Speaker 1: Great season, Travis ninety nine points, Lots of good things
Speaker 1: to build off of. For you, what are you looking
Speaker 1: for this summer to even get better and better?
Speaker 5: Well, that's I think that's the key.
Speaker 7: Uh, you know, I think our team is you know,
Speaker 7: I like I like the season we had.
Speaker 5: We went through a little bit of adversity.
Speaker 7: I thought we played better this past season than we
Speaker 7: did the season before.
Speaker 5: On the ice, but I thought we really matured off
Speaker 5: the ice.
Speaker 7: When you're playing good hockey and you're not getting getting
Speaker 7: the results you want like we were early in the year,
Speaker 7: it's easy for a team to, you know, look for
Speaker 7: excuses or look for different answers.
Speaker 5: But they didn't.
Speaker 7: They they stayed strong within the group and got themselves
Speaker 7: into the playoffs, played great down the stretch. Ah. Yeah,
Speaker 7: So we had a good season and now it's about
Speaker 7: again coming back next year. Everyone knows how tough the
Speaker 7: Atlantic Division is. It's all about getting better and making
Speaker 7: an improvement and taking another step.
Speaker 1: Yeah. You talk about excuses.
Speaker 3: You certainly had to deal with injuries, especially to your
Speaker 3: blue line Travis up front. Tim Stutzel led your team
Speaker 3: in points. What does he mean to your hockey club?
Speaker 7: Obviously a lot. You know, he's he's our most skilled player.
Speaker 7: I've worked with timmy now for two years and he's
Speaker 7: a fun player to coach, you know, not not just
Speaker 7: because he's skilled and and he's a really good hockey player,
Speaker 7: but he.
Speaker 5: Wants to be he wants to be his best.
Speaker 7: He's ultra competitive. He wants to be coached. You know,
Speaker 7: you can coach him hard at times, and he's fine
Speaker 7: with it. We can have open, honest communication and he
Speaker 7: just wants to win really bad. And I think his
Speaker 7: game has grown and it's and he's still really young,
Speaker 7: like he looked at I don't even know.
Speaker 5: How old Timmy is. I think he's twenty three, twenty
Speaker 5: four years old.
Speaker 7: And that's the exciting part because it seems like every
Speaker 7: every month he seems to get a little better. And
Speaker 7: it's not always just his play with the puck. His
Speaker 7: play away from the puck has has really grown. And
Speaker 7: you know, for a young superstar, he's really coachable and
Speaker 7: and he you know, which is important.
Speaker 5: I think for teams to.
Speaker 7: Grow and become better, you know between the coaching staff
Speaker 7: and the players that it's a partnership and and as
Speaker 7: long as they know that you're you're in it with them,
Speaker 7: teams can grow.
Speaker 5: And he's a great example of it.
Speaker 3: Talking with Travis Green sensitive the subject, Travis, but Linus
Speaker 3: Almark has been open about talking about his struggles. Yeah,
Speaker 3: what have you learned about mental health and in dealing
Speaker 3: with your goaltender?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's uh, you know a I think it's it's
Speaker 7: really important in this day and age that people can
Speaker 7: open up and talk about it when they're struggling.
Speaker 5: Obviously, Uh, Lena's had a rough tough here.
Speaker 7: Uh, you know, from from the mental side of things,
Speaker 7: and uh to the point where he had to lead
Speaker 7: the team for a little while.
Speaker 5: And you know, I don't ever.
Speaker 7: Speak for what he actually went through, but being close
Speaker 7: to it, it's you know, it's hard to watch the
Speaker 7: player that you care for, either as a teammate or
Speaker 7: as a coach to a player, to go through.
Speaker 5: Something like that.
Speaker 7: And I think a it's really important that people do
Speaker 7: feel comfortable opening up and talking about it if they're struggling,
Speaker 7: whether it's and not just in sport, but in life.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 7: You know what was what was really really great about
Speaker 7: it is you know when he came back, how well
Speaker 7: he played down the stretch going into the and not
Speaker 7: it's not all about the play, but you know, obviously
Speaker 7: he you could tell that he felt better about himself
Speaker 7: as far as what he was going through, and you know,
Speaker 7: to see him have some success and play the way
Speaker 7: he could, I'm sure he felt extremely good about himself.
Speaker 7: And you know, you want your players to feel good
Speaker 7: all the time.
Speaker 5: Away from the rink. At home in their home life,
Speaker 5: and yet that you're not responsible for that.
Speaker 7: So, uh, you know, I'm just happy that he took
Speaker 7: his time and came back and he seemed like a
Speaker 7: different person. But as far as him showing strength to
Speaker 7: talk about it and hopefully it helps someone else, not
Speaker 7: just in the sporting world, but in life.
Speaker 1: Travis one more Manny Malholtray. You worked with him before
Speaker 1: he's the new head coach of the Canucks. You got
Speaker 1: to be happy before of Travis.
Speaker 5: No, I really am. Uh. You know, when you.
Speaker 7: Coach with a guy for a while and you get
Speaker 7: to know know him, and I don't think people understand
Speaker 7: and how close the friends you become on a coaching staff,
Speaker 7: and uh, I'm just really happy for Annie, happy for
Speaker 7: our j obviously the twins too. There's such icons in
Speaker 7: the city. You know, they're gonna they're gonna do great there.

Speaker 4: a Cup final? I don't I don't look at.
Speaker 1: The overall stand right, but were they thirteenth?
Speaker 3: The Flyers were ahead of them very the Ottawa Senators finished.
Speaker 1: They were very mid, very mid. They make bold moves,
Speaker 1: that's what they do there. Yeah, Kelly mccrimmin is not
Speaker 1: scared to make bold moves. And look at the clarity
Speaker 1: one day after two days after boom, hey you're gone.
Speaker 1: We're bringing in a new I.
Speaker 3: Admire, Okay, I admire a lot of people who can't
Speaker 3: stand Vegas's success because, first of all, they've only been
Speaker 3: in the league for nine years. They don't really know pain.
Speaker 3: Their fan base doesn't know pain. But there's a part
Speaker 3: of me. A lot of people hate Vegas and the
Speaker 3: way they go about business. They've been accused of cheating,
Speaker 3: et cetera. It's somewhat evil in hockey terms. I kind
Speaker 3: of admire it. Yes, they've had success, I mean three
Speaker 3: three Stanley Cup final appearances in nine years right off
Speaker 3: the hop.
Speaker 1: Look at it and look at their first round draft picks.
Speaker 1: Look how many picks they had in the lineup, one
Speaker 1: or two. They don't build through the draft. They've built
Speaker 1: through big signings and big trades. In July first they
Speaker 1: do it opposite or whatever. They're not afraid of.
Speaker 3: Mistakes, and they made one with Nick Suzuki.
Speaker 4: But look at it, do but look at so in
Speaker 4: the NFL. Right, the motto of the La Rams, it's
Speaker 4: kind of a joke, but it's kind of true. Is
Speaker 4: FM picks. That's what they say, because they always trade
Speaker 4: their draft picks. They don't draft outside of Ty Simpson.
Speaker 4: Look what they did. They traded next year draft picks
Speaker 4: to bring in Miles Garrett out of Cleveland. Right, and
Speaker 4: the Rams have had a ton of success with that formula.
Speaker 3: So then why do you get all excited when we
Speaker 3: all get excited about the draft. Well, it's the well,
Speaker 3: it's the way to go. It's also the way we
Speaker 3: got to remember how bad.
Speaker 1: The way to go Vegas.
Speaker 4: Vegas started with a jet pack because every team panicked
Speaker 4: and gave them way too much than what.
Speaker 1: They came up with.
Speaker 3: That forum, Right, we're gonna take this guy, Oh you
Speaker 3: want to keep this guy, Okay, then give us this
Speaker 3: guy we won't take.
Speaker 1: It was brilliant.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they nailed a lot of those moves. By
Speaker 4: the way, Ryan Craig Friedman tweeted, he's the current Henderson
Speaker 4: Golden Knights coach, Silver Knights coach apologies, the HL team
Speaker 4: of Vegas. Odds on, he's going to be the guy
Speaker 4: in Vegas.
Speaker 1: From Amastra coach. Yeah, and Ryan Craig played for Brandon
Speaker 1: that when Kelly mccrivy was Gego.
Speaker 4: So there's the guys up right there, winds up and
Speaker 4: meanwhile Bruce cassidy is still just being.
Speaker 1: Told to sit in a corner.
Speaker 3: Well, now the season's over, you'd think there'd be a
Speaker 3: move there. I know, because Kelly mccrimmin said, we're kind
Speaker 3: of busy in the playoffs right now.
Speaker 1: The playoffs.
Speaker 4: Oh, but Elliott wrote yesterday on sports Net because he
Speaker 4: was talking more about the Babcock investigation that as of
Speaker 4: yesterday there was still no permission granted by Vegas. Well,
Speaker 4: we'll see this week, we'll see, we'll see quickly. One
Speaker 4: other thing, a trade to announce the national hockey Maybe
Speaker 4: this is the start of something. I'm not so sure,
Speaker 4: but Joseph Wall traded by the Maple Leafs to the
Speaker 4: Flyers for a package that includes a third round pick
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six and also a goaltender swap. But
Speaker 4: John Chaka said this morning they might not even qualify
Speaker 4: the goaltender they brought in, so it might essentially be
Speaker 4: a third rounder for Joseph Wall and he and Daniel.
Speaker 3: Briere really Simone Ben was as well.
Speaker 4: Simone Ben well, Yeah, Daniel brier and Philly today said
Speaker 4: that they are thinking that Wall and Dan Ladar, who's
Speaker 4: about to sign a contract extension, will be a tandem
Speaker 4: duo in Philly. They'll work together. So there you go.
Speaker 4: And Chaika said, by the way, the Leaf's new head
Speaker 4: coach within the next few days that at the final
Speaker 4: stages of that, maybe we'll start to see some trades
Speaker 4: right the off season. Maybe who knows. There's all that
Speaker 4: talk about Joe Pavelski, which could.
Speaker 3: Be again copycat league, and there's there's a lot of
Speaker 3: people out there who believe Pavelski given his lack of experience,
Speaker 3: but the respect he has around the league. He's coaching
Speaker 3: minor hockey the next Martine San Luis.
Speaker 4: Okay, but what about Rob Brendemar. What was his experience?
Speaker 1: He was an assistant for a long time.
Speaker 4: He was, so I guess he's okay seeing that we
Speaker 4: came off the absolute streets. He was his kids coach.
Speaker 4: It didn't work out, but we talked about it earlier.
Speaker 3: Can we please get Rod Brenda Moore in the from
Speaker 3: Campbell River in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Oh like
Speaker 3: what absolutely a must look at his look at his
Speaker 3: playing career.
Speaker 4: Yeah, even before this. Now he's got a second ring
Speaker 4: as a coach, which is what one of six guys
Speaker 4: or something that over a.
Speaker 1: Thousand points thousand games? Like what are they waiting?
Speaker 4: I don't get it?
Speaker 1: What they wait? Now he's got a coup fifteen games exactly.
Speaker 4: And he's an incredible shape, so that should add for
Speaker 4: something as well. That video on the video you saw
Speaker 4: it of him in the dressing room taking a shirt off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he uses just for me.
Speaker 4: Yeah sure. Craig Button Dnsen's director of scouting. Coming up next, Matthews,
Speaker 4: Preston and Nhel draft prospect from the Vancouver Giants. Around

Speaker 3: Auctions dot C A bayside inbox Ausie Goose. I'm great
Speaker 3: with geography and never in my life heard of Cabo Verde.
Speaker 3: World Cup's been amazing, So glad you guys are into
Speaker 3: it now.
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's all of us, including you and Cloud
Speaker 1: was watching last.
Speaker 3: Night joining us now t S and scouting director Craig Button,
Speaker 3: Thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 1: Are you into the World Cup? Your World Cup fever?
Speaker 1: Too busy with hockey? Oh?
Speaker 8: I love, I love, I love the World Cup. I
Speaker 8: love everything about it.
Speaker 9: I'm a Portugal fan and uh, certainly we'll be paying
Speaker 9: attention to the match on Wednesday. But did you happen
Speaker 9: to watch the Uruguay Uruguay Saudi Arabia game yesterday?
Speaker 1: A little bit? Yeah? Oh?
Speaker 8: Was it?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 9: I don't know how Uruguay didn't win that game nine
Speaker 9: to one. I mean they were absolutely phenomenal. Saudi Arabia
Speaker 9: you know, gets a point out of it. I mean,
Speaker 9: like just the way they played, the way they maneuver
Speaker 9: the ball, the movement.
Speaker 8: It was just unbelievable soccer at its finest.
Speaker 9: And I mean for Saudi Arabia to you know, draw
Speaker 9: that game was was it had to be feel like
Speaker 9: a win because they were just completely dominated.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I thought it Ran New Zealand was
Speaker 3: the best of the four, yes before it draws yesterday.
Speaker 3: Tremendous entertainment. What's your connection to Portugal, Greg, I'm not Portuguese, Okay,
Speaker 3: I didn't know that mother's Portuguese.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm a Porto. I'm a Portu goose.
Speaker 3: You learn, you learn something every day. Hey, a tough segue.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna won't even be a segue. Just move on here.
Speaker 3: Carolina Hurricanes, any question, they're the NHL's best team.
Speaker 8: No question. They lost three games in the entire playoffs.
Speaker 9: They I mean, that's not even enough to lose a series,
Speaker 9: let alone.
Speaker 8: Like you think about what they did, the.
Speaker 9: Penalty killing, the balance, scoring, the death, the way they
Speaker 9: play and you know, down to one against Vegas and
Speaker 9: they just raised the level of their game and certainly
Speaker 9: Vegas up for nots in Game three, They ultimately won
Speaker 9: that game, but I think that that was a real
Speaker 9: turning point for Carolina to come back in the third
Speaker 9: period because that showed them, hey, if we push it
Speaker 9: up a notch, can Vegas play with us in Vegas.
Speaker 8: I don't think Vegas dropped, but they couldn't raise their
Speaker 8: level any higher and Carolina took full advantage.
Speaker 1: Okay, so everybody has asked this question.
Speaker 3: I'm not an original guy, so I will as well.
Speaker 3: It's a copycat league. Sports is like that all over
Speaker 3: the place these days. What can the rest of the NHL.
Speaker 3: What can the rest of hockey learn from the Carolina Hurricanes.
Speaker 8: I think there's two things, Donnie.
Speaker 9: Number one, you better be patient and continue to work
Speaker 9: away at things you believe in. I think the Carolina
Speaker 9: Hurricanes are a great example of that. You know, this
Speaker 9: overnight success has been eight years in the making, and
Speaker 9: they've had their disappointments, they've had their failures, and you
Speaker 9: look at how they lost. They lost the Floorida, they
Speaker 9: lost the Tampa Bay. You know, they look in at
Speaker 9: that picture and they go, Okay, what do they have
Speaker 9: that we need? And they and they kept working at it.
Speaker 9: They kept believing in what they were doing. And then
Speaker 9: the second thing is if you think you're gonna win
Speaker 9: the Stanley cupp Er, even contend for a Stanley Cup
Speaker 9: without depths, and I'm talking about four lines and I'm
Speaker 9: talking about six defensemen, and even now we may have
Speaker 9: to look at it in terms of depths in your net.
Speaker 9: You better be ready to do that because I don't
Speaker 9: care what team you are. There's not one way to win.
Speaker 9: There's not one formula. But there are main ingredients that
Speaker 9: are necessary for any team to contend, and that is
Speaker 9: having that death. I mean the Carolina Hurricanes had four lines, well,
Speaker 9: the Florida Panthers had four lines, Carolina Hurricanes six defense, well,
Speaker 9: the Florida Panthers had six defense. Goaltending becomes really important.
Speaker 9: And I mentioned the tandem part. Those things are never changing.
Speaker 9: And you can look at different ways, whether you want
Speaker 9: to be big and strong, whether you have.
Speaker 8: A little more skill, where you have a little bit
Speaker 8: more speed. But if you don't have deaths, you ain't coming
Speaker 8: close to contending. You might move along the path.
Speaker 9: And Rod Brindamore said it. Rod Brindamore said, we were
Speaker 9: a lot deeper. We had we had editors our team
Speaker 9: that were a lot stronger. We stayed with it, and
Speaker 9: I think that's a big part of this too. I mean,
Speaker 9: there's too much knee jerk reaction in sports and Caroline
Speaker 9: and Hurricanes. If you want to be copycats, if you
Speaker 9: believe in what you have, you don't understand that there
Speaker 9: is a process. Let me let me share something with
Speaker 9: you that Tom Dunton told me many years ago, the owner.
Speaker 8: He said, we have four goals. Our number one goal.
Speaker 9: Is to be a really good regular season team, to
Speaker 9: give our fans a real significant value for their dollars spent,
Speaker 9: to make the place exciting. And we want to be
Speaker 9: a good regular season team. He goes, that's where our
Speaker 9: revenue will come from. That's when the support from the
Speaker 9: community and our sponsors will come from. That's eighty two games,
Speaker 9: about to be eighty four next year. He said, that's
Speaker 9: our number one goal. A number two goal is to
Speaker 9: try to advance to the conference final. He said that
Speaker 9: means that we've been a good team and we get
Speaker 9: to the to the conference final. Number three, get to
Speaker 9: the Stanley Cup Final. He said, that's significant. You know
Speaker 9: everybody talks about, you know, competing for the Stanley Cup.
Speaker 9: That's number number four, he said, winning the Stanley Cup,
Speaker 9: and that becomes obviously the cherry on top. Everybody dreams
Speaker 9: of winning the Stanley Cup. Understand that he never said
Speaker 9: winning the Stanley Cup is their number one goal, because
Speaker 9: if you want to put the Stanley Cupp as.
Speaker 8: Your number one goal, you're missing steps.
Speaker 9: And there's a lot of teams in this league, and
Speaker 9: I'll pick on the Edmonton Runners here.
Speaker 8: They've missed the boat.
Speaker 9: They've missed the boat from having a Stanley Cup contending
Speaker 9: team in twenty twenty four to now being a non contender.
Speaker 8: And it looks like a dumpster fire up in Edmonton
Speaker 8: right now.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Edmonton, what's going on with you? Do you
Speaker 1: think now Vegas will finally say they're done? Craig? Should
Speaker 1: they finally say go ahead? Bruce Cassidy talk to.
Speaker 8: Them on July fifteenth?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 10: What look, Bruce Cassidy's been pretty There's so much stuff
Speaker 10: that the Vegas gold Knights are probably about trades, free agency,
Speaker 10: players you like, players you don't like.
Speaker 9: So if I was in Vegas, he has all that information.
Speaker 9: There's a non compete in his contract that he was
Speaker 9: a signatory two so on July fifteenth. We'll give your
Speaker 9: permission after we get our other business done. And remember
Speaker 9: they're a division rival, so I'm not helping their division rival.
Speaker 9: I'll get Bruce the opportunity on July fifteenth.
Speaker 1: A right good point. John Tortorella told today he's not
Speaker 1: going to be back. Were you surprised at that or
Speaker 1: what were your feelings when you heard.
Speaker 8: Yes and no? Surprised?
Speaker 5: Rick?
Speaker 9: I thought, I know Ryan Craig is a really promising
Speaker 9: young coach, and he's coached and Henderson as a head
Speaker 9: coach now for three years, and I think that they
Speaker 9: have designs on him coming in and being part.
Speaker 8: Of their coaching group.
Speaker 9: I made a suggestion just off cuff the other day
Speaker 9: that maybe having Ryan come in be an associate coach
Speaker 9: for a year with John Tortorella as the head coach
Speaker 9: might be a nice kind of transition for him. But
Speaker 9: I think that and I'm not saying Ryan Craig will
Speaker 9: get the job, but it felt to me when I
Speaker 9: heard the news that John was hired to come in
Speaker 9: and get this team to better capable to play into
Speaker 9: its abilities. He did that to win Shy of the
Speaker 9: Stanley Cup, and they didn't they didn't feel that going
Speaker 9: forward was the best move with John Tortorella, short term
Speaker 9: coach come in, did a great job.
Speaker 1: Move on Matthis Preston. He's going to be of the
Speaker 1: Vancouver Giants.
Speaker 3: Matthis Preston is going to be a guest on our
Speaker 3: show today and the next segment. As a matter of fact, Craig,
Speaker 3: you have him at number forty four on your latest year.
Speaker 8: He's higher now the final one coming out. Okay, neither
Speaker 8: one coming out, he's higher than that. You'll find out.
Speaker 3: Well, that plays into what I'm going to ask you.
Speaker 3: Can he move into the first round?
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh, absolutely he can. You know, Mathis has.
Speaker 9: A lot of talent and a lot of skill, and
Speaker 9: I think that there's a lot of parts of his
Speaker 9: game that are still developing.
Speaker 8: Including is he a winger? Is he a center?
Speaker 9: You know last year in Spokane he played behind Berkeley
Speaker 9: Catton as a young player, and you know, Berkeley can
Speaker 9: can ease the burden on any young player. And I
Speaker 9: know at times, and I may have told you this
Speaker 9: about Ryan Lynn.
Speaker 8: If I haven't, I'll carry forth with it.
Speaker 9: Young players come in and there they've been so good
Speaker 9: at what they've done previously, and and and mathis has
Speaker 9: that state and ability, that high end offensive skill. All
Speaker 9: of a sudden, he's the go to guy. All of
Speaker 9: a sudden, things maybe are not. You know, you're confronted
Speaker 9: with adversity. Let's face it, there's adversity there for him,
Speaker 9: and there's nothing wrong with that. But at the same time,
Speaker 9: when you you start to try to find where.
Speaker 8: Your best fit is.
Speaker 9: He's played right winging with hockey cannon, he can play center,
Speaker 9: so I think he's still trying to figure that out.
Speaker 8: But like Ryan Lynn.
Speaker 9: When you ask the player to do what he's done best,
Speaker 9: and I get a little bit harder marking on these players,
Speaker 9: I do. I'm being straightforward, and it happened to me
Speaker 9: with Ryan Lynn. I started to look at all his
Speaker 9: defensive play. Then I realized he's a good defensive player.
Speaker 9: In Vancouver, he was asked to generate offense and he
Speaker 9: did that really, really well. And I think that part
Speaker 9: of the development process is players getting comfortable understanding that
Speaker 9: their game has a lot more than maybe just what
Speaker 9: you're seeing in one aspect. And I certainly acknowledge that
Speaker 9: with Ryan Linn. I acknowledge the same thing with Matthis Preston.
Speaker 9: His skill level is too good to not consider him
Speaker 9: as a player, and right now he's one of those
Speaker 9: players drafted. If he drafted later in the first round,
Speaker 9: somewhere in there, you might be looking back in three
Speaker 9: years time and go, how did they get him at
Speaker 9: that point in the draft, And that that's part of
Speaker 9: other players getting better, showing a little bit more, maybe
Speaker 9: people being a little bit harder in terms of their marquee.
Speaker 9: But Mathis has NHL abilities.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll try this, or brigato it's what do you mean?
Speaker 1: Or which? Thank you?
Speaker 3: It's thank you in Portuguese?
Speaker 8: Oh kill us?
Speaker 9: Sorry, I am you know what you're You're on the

Speaker 8: ever had have they ever had past path? Have they
Speaker 8: ever had a Pastel Danada?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 9: No, No, other Portuguese custards for Portuguese custards, Pastel Danada
Speaker 9: if you ever can find them.
Speaker 8: They're unbelievable. Thank you, you're like me.
Speaker 1: You're like me.
Speaker 3: My mother was Ukrainian and the only Ukrainian words I
Speaker 3: know are the food, right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Greg.
Speaker 9: They never they never spoke Portuguese to me so, you know,
Speaker 9: but thank you, Donnie, thank you Rick.
Speaker 3: All right, you learned something every day thanks to this
Speaker 3: Craig next week.
Speaker 8: Thanks, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: You're What he said about mathis Preston. He Adam at
Speaker 3: forty four in his latest cranks list, at least the
Speaker 3: one that was published on the TSN dot CA. He's
Speaker 3: got him up higher. So what does that mean? Canucks
Speaker 3: picked twenty fourth? They picked thirty third?
Speaker 1: Maybe also complete center and wing. Do the Canucks turn
Speaker 1: him into a centerment? Yeah?
Speaker 3: He's next to Math's Preston. Next on our show, it's

Speaker 3: some Portuguese. He didn't have a clue what I was saying, there, Ryan,
Speaker 3: you have to text Craig and apologize for me.
Speaker 1: Is there a chance you screwed it up?
Speaker 4: That's a possibility I've had that might even why He
Speaker 4: was like, what.
Speaker 3: The hell is this guy saying I've had a bad
Speaker 3: couple of days.
Speaker 1: That just for men, is it?
Speaker 3: And now this matthis Presston is going to join US now.

Speaker 1: Mathis, thanks for doing this, sir. How are you?
Speaker 11: I'm good?
Speaker 12: How are you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Thank you guys for having me.
Speaker 1: Very good.
Speaker 3: I gotta I gotta tell you you grew up in
Speaker 3: penticked In and Rick and I both minor hockey parents.
Speaker 3: I loved going up there for for tournaments. It is
Speaker 3: a hockey crazy town. What was it like growing up
Speaker 3: in the beautiful city of Penticton?
Speaker 1: What did it do for you.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it was.
Speaker 1: It was amazing.
Speaker 13: Obviously obviously the weather's pretty good there. You got a
Speaker 13: good setup, you got the three rinks there, which is
Speaker 13: is pretty good.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 13: It was so much fun growing up there playing my
Speaker 13: minor hockey and then through Bantamin Midget.
Speaker 11: I met a lot of buddies there.
Speaker 13: Didn't necessarily live in Pentick, didn't, but you know, close
Speaker 13: friends and people that you know, I'll be friends with
Speaker 13: for for the rest of my life. So yeah, it
Speaker 13: was lots of fun there and definitely thankful that it was.
Speaker 13: It was pretty local, only five minutes five minutes away
Speaker 13: from my house, so it's pretty convenient.
Speaker 12: So all it was good.
Speaker 3: Okay, So Liam and Marcus Ruck also expected to go high.
Speaker 1: At the draft. They're from Soyers.
Speaker 3: Tell us how how you know them?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 13: We uh, I think we probably played together since we
Speaker 13: were like seven years old. We started playing like spring
Speaker 13: hockey together when we were really young, and then through
Speaker 13: like the Brick Tournament when when we were at ten,
Speaker 13: that one in in the West Edmonton Hall there, and
Speaker 13: then all throughout like and yeah, we've we've been best
Speaker 13: friends forever and you know, during season when we were
Speaker 13: they played for Souse. It was it was kind of
Speaker 13: the rival Pententiicton versus soy Use. But yeah, when they
Speaker 13: came to it was there was lots of fun playing
Speaker 13: with them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unreal that the three of you will be going
Speaker 3: in this draft. Hey, you finished top ten in seven
Speaker 3: different physical I think I've got this right in seven
Speaker 3: different physical test category. At the combine and looking at
Speaker 3: your bio, it says you took part in multiple sports,
Speaker 3: including triathlons. Did that training come into play when you're
Speaker 3: you're in Buffalo.
Speaker 11: I don't know.
Speaker 13: I don't know about the training for that because I
Speaker 13: was really young, but I think just all the work
Speaker 13: I do in the gym in the summer and stuff.
Speaker 13: But I think the triathlon definitely helps kind of in
Speaker 13: the in the mindset aspect of it. You know, on
Speaker 13: the bike swimming you're kind of in your own thoughts,
Speaker 13: So I think that definitely helps for stuff like the
Speaker 13: v O two and the wind gates.
Speaker 1: So yeah, hey, matthis what makes you so attractive to
Speaker 1: NHL scouts. The speed is there, the size, everything, But
Speaker 1: tell us what's the best parts of your game?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 11: I think I think I think the game in a
Speaker 11: unique way.
Speaker 13: I think I'm a dynamic skater, and I think that
Speaker 13: I think the game at a pretty elite level. I
Speaker 13: think I see see plays developed early and I kind
Speaker 13: of know where where I'm gonna put the pok before
Speaker 13: I get it. Yeah, I think, just like my skating
Speaker 13: separates me, I like to push guys back, thinking them
Speaker 13: good on my edges. So I think that's probably the
Speaker 13: main two things that separate me apart from other people.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you get traded into the Vancouver Giants draft
Speaker 1: here and then a really unfortunate injury and wnacchi Uh boy,
Speaker 1: that must have been tough too much out in your
Speaker 1: draft year mathis, Yeah.
Speaker 8: That was.
Speaker 11: That was definitely tough.
Speaker 13: You know, anytime I have such a passion for the
Speaker 13: games that any any time out for you know, that
Speaker 13: long period of time, it was. It was super difficult
Speaker 13: for me, especially just getting there. You know, you want
Speaker 13: to play with the guys, be in the dressing room
Speaker 13: with them and stuff like that, and you're just in
Speaker 13: the rehab center for eight weeks straight.
Speaker 11: Now, that was definitely But.
Speaker 13: You know, I wasn't happy that Ryan got hurt at
Speaker 13: the same time, but he happened to get hurt the
Speaker 13: other day after me. So we we definitely lean on
Speaker 13: each other through that time and we grew really close
Speaker 13: together off the ice, and yeah, I was.
Speaker 11: I was definitely thankful for him in that time.
Speaker 13: But yeah, it was definitely difficult, you know, in this year,
Speaker 13: not being able to play and showcase yourself was challenging
Speaker 13: for sure.

Speaker 1: and Buffalo. How did that go? Did they grill you good?
Speaker 4: What? What?
Speaker 1: What went on in that room?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 11: It was it was good, I thought, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 11: It was good.
Speaker 13: It's kind of crazy, like you grew up watching that
Speaker 13: team as a BC kid and now you're you're having
Speaker 13: meetings with them.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 11: It was pretty surreal.
Speaker 5: They were.
Speaker 11: They were really good with me. You know, they seem
Speaker 11: pretty interested.
Speaker 5: Which is good.
Speaker 13: I think, you know, they like my game and you know,
Speaker 13: I think I can definitely help help the team like
Speaker 13: that offensively.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was.
Speaker 11: It was really good and I enjoyed that meeting for sure.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: Center, we just had a quick button on and he says,
Speaker 1: you can play center and wing. What do you prefer matthis?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I can play center and wing.
Speaker 13: I to be honest, I don't really prefer anything. I
Speaker 13: think wherever, whoever the coach needs me, wherever fits best.
Speaker 11: I recently, when I got to Vancouver, I switched.
Speaker 13: To left wing, and uh, I felt I could get
Speaker 13: middle ice more, cut to the middle more. You know,
Speaker 13: I got hurt cut into the little But on the
Speaker 13: other side, cutting to the middle is easier because it's
Speaker 13: just all if it's on your forehand, delaying everything's on
Speaker 13: your forehand. So yeah, I switched to the left wing, which
Speaker 13: I thought helped me a lot, But I really enjoyed
Speaker 13: playing center, distributing to the middle of the ice. Sol Yeah,
Speaker 13: it doesn't, it doesn't really matter to me.
Speaker 3: Back to the Canucks. You're from the Okanagan. Was that
Speaker 3: your team growing up? And was there a player you
Speaker 3: looked up to?

Speaker 13: I was a fan of Brockbassar. But then when I
Speaker 13: was I don't know, when I was like eleven or twelve,
Speaker 13: I was a big Oilers fan. Me and my brother

Speaker 13: to watch, and even Newton Hawkins, I was a big
Speaker 13: fan of growing up, so me and my brother were
Speaker 13: Oilers fans, but I think deep down we're always Canucks
Speaker 13: fans at heart.

Speaker 1: low national cover Jeff and Absbord nails it. Their typical
Speaker 1: Toronto crap. Absberg's in the calder Cup nothing zero, ziltch nothing,
Speaker 1: now their Marley's in it. And I guarantee you it's
Speaker 1: going to come down to the dollar. They'll be able
Speaker 1: to sell that in Ontario as opposed to selling that
Speaker 1: in Absbord.
Speaker 3: I think it comes down to indifference for the rest
Speaker 3: of Canada outside of Toronto. Yeah, That's what it comes
Speaker 3: down to. And if I think maybe the you know,
Speaker 3: when we complain about how this is this has to
Speaker 3: do with our business, how people in Toronto don't care
Speaker 3: about the rest of the country when they're supposed to
Speaker 3: be national networks. This might be the best example. Remember
Speaker 3: this is its me from Jeeves in Surrey. But for

Speaker 1: talk about it enough. CBC was the one free channel

Speaker 3: but they can't afford it.
Speaker 1: And that's something I didn't think of.
Speaker 3: And that's just so bang on, and I'm sure they're
Speaker 3: going to hear a lot of complaints about it. Eric
Speaker 3: the Greenskeeper, is it just me? It was good to
Speaker 3: see a small market team without the low tax advantage
Speaker 3: hoist the cup. It points out how woeful teams like
Speaker 3: the least performance has been among other teams. Eric, but
Speaker 3: I'm not sure the tax situation in Carolina, but it's
Speaker 3: not as it's it's not as positive for players that
Speaker 3: might be in Tennessee or Florida or Nevada. We'll look
Speaker 3: into it.
Speaker 1: It's cheap, it's cheap. You can buy a house with
Speaker 1: a nice, big yard, but.
Speaker 3: Not the real estate prices.
Speaker 1: The taxes. We're talking about the taxes. Tax Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1: A product called Score. Look it up. I don't remember Score.
Speaker 1: I remember bill Cream. Now it's said dippity Do before jail,
Speaker 1: and I used dippity Do now because the other jel's
Speaker 1: too expensive eight nine ten. It's expensive and you can't

Speaker 1: where you go. You can't take it on the planes.
Speaker 1: They don't let it. Let you take it on the plane.
Speaker 1: Dot it's ridiculous. A good reason for that. I get it,
