Speaker 3: I think you're gonna want to hear this.
Speaker 2: Your local sports coverage lives here.
Speaker 1: Two nothing, It's Alva not so fast cohole breath with
John Taylor. I say that the winner of the draft
lottery should be the winner of a two man loose.
Speaker 4: And Rick Dolly Wall I had a cherry tree, Little Ricky.
I used to go up that tree and just sit
there for hours and munch on news cherry.
Speaker 2: Years Donnie and Dolly ten o'clock at downtown Vankurver, the
Paul Carson Studio.
Speaker 1: Thanks for tuning in, folks.
Speaker 4: It's Donnia Dolly.
Speaker 1: The team on Check don Taylor, along with Rick Dollywall.
Ryan Henderson is our producer. He is normally the man
at the controls right now, and I don't even know
the status of the situation awaiting the birth of a
second child. He's not going to be with us.
Speaker 4: We've been there, We've been there this week.
Speaker 1: Instead, we have as our producer Nina Savage, and we're
lucky to have her.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Derek Wan Voice of God helping us out as well,
our director.
Speaker 4: How are you so quiet this morning? No fights, no yelling,
no screaming. It was so nice.
Speaker 1: Well, you're still here and the morning's still young. So
all the best to Ryan Henderson, his wife Kelsey, and
his son Max and family. Okay, so we'll keep you posted, folks.
You know, moving on here. As we transition, you look
forward to something all day or for a couple of
days in the world of sports or anything really, and
we're talking about I'm talking about Game seven yesterday in Buffalo,
Sabers and Halbs, and it exceeded expectations. That just doesn't
happen all that often.
Speaker 4: That was just good.
Speaker 1: That was a tremendous series. Strange, I mean, lopsided scores,
goaltenders pulled just when you think a team is out.
It's not like something from The Godfather. Three here they
pulled you back in. It was so good. Game seven
went to overtime yesterday, three two halves over the Sabers.
Will take a look at Alex Newhook's overtime goal here
a knuckle puck And of course, former Victoria Grizzly you
pointed that out two years ago, moments ago before the store,
before the show started eleven of overtime, what fabulous entertainment.
I thought the Buffalo Sabers and Elliott Frieman felt the
same way. I felt the Buffalo Sabers were the better team.
They outshot the Habs thirty nine to twenty five. But
as John Cooper said, you know, the Sabers won the game.
John Cooper said this after Canada lost the gold medal
in Italy. You know, Sabers won the game, but the
Habs won the score, and off they go. Off they
go to the Eastern Conference Final against a well rested
group of Carolina Hurricanes, and it's just what I thought.
There's a million things I found amazing. But you know,
Alex Newhook and look, this is a franchise that goes
back to nineteen o nine. He's the first Montreal Canadian
to score a game seven overtime goal on the road
way back to nineteen ninety nine, nineteen o nine. You
just I would assume, maybe this is naive of me.
Maybe I don't know that much. I'm sure a lot
of people agree with that, but I just assumed somebody
along the line a team that you know, we're going
back to a sixteen league, had so much success in
the playoffs. We all know about their multiple Stanley Cups,
that somebody would have done that, But Alex Newhook former
Victoria Grizzly eleven twenty two of overtime the first player
to achieve that. Now, also this yak Abdovish, he would
more horrible in game six.
Speaker 4: He would tell you that we went back with him.
Speaker 1: They go, well, they didn't really have a choice. I mean,
he got there right. So he's an early con Smith candidate.
We're going to take a look at some of his
saves from yesterday. Just absolutely fabulous early Con smyth candidate.
After a couple of rounds two game seven wins now
both on the road. The only player to do that,
the only goaltender and haves history to do that in
the past, Rick Ken Dryden, Ken Dryden. Of course they're
wearing the number twenty nine these days on their outfits
because can of course left us back back in September
of twenty twenty five. So only Ken Dryden did that
in the past. Also with yakub dobus six road wins
and he is the only Montreal Canadian goaltender to do
that other than Kenn Dryden and Patrick Waw. You know
we're talking about cons my trophy winners here, legendary Montreal goaltenders.
He's just absolutely fabulous. So have we've got the clip
of yakub after the game. Yeah, we do, because so
on top of all of this, yak abduobus and I'm
gonna get going to relate all this to the connuction
in a second, folks, But jak Abduobush. Also, this is
the most important, as you know if you watch this
show enough. No, the most important thing, most important quality
a player can have is to be nice to the
media and be a good interview Check him out postgame.
Speaker 5: It's been fourteen incredibly grueling games through the playoffs to
this point.
Speaker 1: How are you holding out me? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh I can't play forty more?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: That great?
Speaker 4: Wow? Yeah love that.
Speaker 1: He's something else. So the playoffs continue Conference Finals, the
Eastern Final Game one Montreal at Carolina that's on Thursday.
Carolina hasn't played since May ninth. Western Conference Final Game
one Vegas at Colorado on on Wednesday.
Speaker 4: So let me say a couple of things that Abs
are the youngest team in the NHL to reach the
conference finals since nineteen ninety one. Who did that back then?
The Habs, the Kings in the final, You and I
they're average ages twenty five months. We're younger than and
the Canucks need to keep an eye on this. Kofield,
Suzuki Slovskowsky, Danmie, Dobbin Hudson. What are they all, Donny?
High picks? What do you gotta do to get high picks?
Got to go to the bottom of the standings. These
guys are young, They're going to be around for a
long time. They're not going anywhere, folks, The Montreal Canadians
are not going anywhere. And Alex new Hook I want
to say this, every playoff, remember John Druce, You and
I remember John Druce Washington. Every playoff brings out a guy.
But you know what new.
Speaker 1: Hooks do Nobody don't expect.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. And he's got seven goals through in the league.
There's three Vegas guys ahead of them, Donny. But the
other one for you, don he had thirty games of
playoff experience. Want to stand in the Cup of Colorado.
It's not like he came out of the blue and
he's playing his first playoff game.
Speaker 1: But you wouldn't have guessed this. No, you wouldn't have
guessed it.
Speaker 4: But that time in Colorado, you know, he didn't score
a ton of points for call it around on the playoffs,
and now Montreal's go to guy in overtime.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's quite the strong you say, said Rick,
we're talking about a Habs franchise here, just in case
you think if you're one of these people who are
still around and I think French he actually Francisco used
the word rebuild Thursday press conference. And you're losing the
Sedines and and Ryan Johnson. If you're one of these,
you can't say rebuild. You know, the customers don't like that.
The Montreal Canadians put out a documentary within the last
year or two called Rebuilt. Yes, and you mentioned the
name of Catfield, Hudson, Slefkowski, Demidoff, Kapen, and Evans Gallagher.
That goes way back, Fowler Adobish. They're all draft picks. Ye,
And that's you mentioned the high draft picks. You also
have to have confidence in your scouting department that you
can come up with somebody like a yak Abdobish in
the fifth round, and then of course you go, you
go way back, and that's the there's the trade for
the future. You give up a star and Max Patrick
ready for Nick Suzuki. I know it was another regime,
but that was a really smart move with the future
in mind. And then then I'm looking at puck Pedia
today and the players they have locked up, Suzuki, koff Field, Stepkowski, Dobson, Goholie, Matheson,
they're all Hudson, They're all locked up. Like you said,
they're not going anywhere's not going a long time. So
great lesson for the Vancouver Canucks provided by the legendary
Montreal Canadians.
Speaker 4: Another thing I want to say is Lane Hudson Donnie
in his draft here, the Canucks thought he was too small.
They thought Coffeel was too small. They thought stan Covian
was too small. It is time to stop skill guys
going in the first round, early in the second. Do
not pass on them because of size. The Canucks are
getting burned in this year's playoffs. There's guys they passed
on because they were too small.
Speaker 1: Not hurting you say that though they drafted Quinn Hughes.
Speaker 4: Wow, Okay, but I'm telling I'm giving you examples. The
guys they passed on being a lane. And there was
a guy in the Canucks, a scout he's not with
him anymore, who thought he was never going to play
in the other who was not well, I don't know
his name. Yeah, they got five hundred scouts, but I mean,
come on, what are how.
Speaker 1: Are they doing with the scouting department? What's going to happen?
Speaker 4: They extended a few of them in the last few days.
I imagine some won't be back though.
Speaker 1: Okay, So moving on to the Canucks now, yes, uh,
Henrik Sedin was on. It was just it was over
the weekend. It was a long way. How was your weekend?
Speaker 4: But oh it couldn't be better because he did nothing. No,
it's two hours yesterday weed eating and cutting the grass. Well,
the kids watched, well, the.
Speaker 1: Kids watched you. All right. We had way too many
social engagements, Like we went to three I went to
three different things. One a wedding, oh love weddings, and
then two other visits. It was a lot. I'm old.
I kind of just wanted we're both old. Yeah, I
feel okay, I'll trade you any day, buddy, Okay. So
Hendrick Sadeen was on thirty two thoughts with the Elliott
Friedman and Kyle pekoskis okay, and he spoke on do
we want to talk about Adam Foot right now? Or
Pat you make the choice? You were high on this.
Speaker 4: Let's go. Then let's play the clip and then go
from there.
Speaker 1: Which one Adam foote the.
Speaker 4: Foot one, the foot one? The foot one's the big one.
Speaker 1: We're going with the foot the foot. Okay, So this
is Hendrix Sadeen Chris Adam Foot right now as far
as we know, still the head coach of the Vancouver
Canucks after one season that saw the Canucks drop to
thirty second and last overall. So absolutely Henrick, one of
the new co presidents of the Vancouver Canucks, on Adam
Foot's future, How how do you go about making the
decision on.
Speaker 3: Your current coach?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's something we're we're discussing right now. So, uh,
this has happened. We had a press conference on Thursday,
so we were going through a lot of a lot
of different parts of our organization. So, uh, we're discussing
a daily basis here. So that's some that I think
you'll hear more of a from next next year, next week.
Speaker 1: There you go. So we're gonna hear about this.
Speaker 4: We should hear this week about Adam Foot, Donnie, and
you know they can't wait forever.
Speaker 1: What did Toronto do?
Speaker 4: JAKEO wait did about six seven, eight days before they
fire Berubi. Look, I've been told, uh Foot, this could
be fifty to fifty done. Like I'm not hearing it
either way. But boyl boy, Ryan Johnson's going to be
doing a deep dive this week on everything. Like we're
talking about everything. The biggest question with Foot is there's
a whack of kids coming, a ton of young kids coming,
and can you teach and develop the young kids? If
you can't, if you're willing to, you get to stay.
But my goodness, I'm looking at m Karamaki and it's
just not Adam. He goes back to talk it every
time this kid comes up. He's back in Abbasburg in
two weeks. You can't do that with the influx of
kids coming up. Now, there's too many kids coming up
and you can't do what you can't just bring them
up down and playing for a nine minutes on the
fourth line and then send them back down if they're
high picks.
Speaker 1: But if you you it's on the player it's on
the player. It's on the play keep going on. This
is agent to stop. It's not on the player, no
matter who is to perform.
Speaker 4: Well absolutely, But if you're not going to be given
the opportunity and you're going to be sent back down
on Attasburg because you're making mistakes and all that stuff,
work with them who who? Just in the playoffs somebody
made a big mistake in the playoffs and right next
ship they went out and scored. Look, you could kill
these kids confident. I don't like what's going on with
the Karamaki. I'll tell you that much right now. But
the big thing.
Speaker 1: With foot, don't you like it?
Speaker 4: What do you mean? He goes down there, he comes up,
starts in the top six, two games later in the
on the fourth line, nine minutes back in Abbey.
Speaker 1: Sure stop drop. Look at the player. The young players
they got from Minnesota who seemed to take a step
when they came up after the Hughes trade, when they
came to Vancouver after the Hughes trade.
Speaker 4: Other than bullyam the other two a little bit older
than the Karamaki. Look forget about the Minnesota guys. This
is a conduct draft pick. Karen Mackie's got to work
done exactly. He can't. He's a higher pick. He's he
was a higher pick than him. The bottom line is
don regardless of nippicking on on these guys, here's the thing.
If you're going to teach and develop the kids, Adam Foot,
you get to stay. There's a whack. There's gonna be
a wave of young kids coming through Vancouver in the
next four years. You can't have a coach who's going
to destroy their confidence and ruined draft picks.
Speaker 1: That's the bottom Adam Foot would ruin their car.
Speaker 4: I never said that. I never said that. He was
hired in a different situation than the goal post changed
on him. He wasn't hired to develop and go into
a rebuild. He was hired to keep Quinn Hughes and win.
How did that end? Don No, it's not his fault,
but the goalpost captain on the team. Yeah, exactly, But
now the goal post changed. Now he's gotta He's not
gonna win. He's not here to win. He's here to
develop and get these guys through the rebuil. It's his choice.
Speaker 1: It's Adam Foot, not his choice.
Speaker 4: But yeah, they're gonna ask them are you going to
develop and teach these kids? Okay, but he's.
Speaker 1: Got two years left in his country.
Speaker 4: He can't win. The most likely they're gonna be a
lottery team again next year.
Speaker 1: Done.
Speaker 4: So you gotta They got a guy in house, Manny Maholtre,
who has done nothing but deal with young kids in
Absbord last two years. I mean, that's the way it's
going to come down.
Speaker 1: I think what about the excuse of injuries with with
uh and and the change of direction for Adam.
Speaker 4: They changed a goal post on them they did.
Speaker 1: That's not his fault, that's not his I oftentimes when
you see a new group come in, in this case,
new co presidents, I still have to get used to that.
New co presidents and a new general manager. And oftentimes
you know they'll they'll keep the head coach because it's
a bullet for them to shoot. You know what I mean, right,
it's it's it's a weapon for them to use. Well,
you know, if they bring in their head coach, then
they they've used that up. So they'll they'll keep the
head coach and then if they's go awry, then we'll
get rid of the head coach. I just can't see
them doing that. Manny Malulter seems like the Despite what
I just said, Manny Malolter seems like the right guy
in terms of somebody who not only has done a
really good job of developing players down at Atbosford. You
can say what you want about this last season with Abosford,
they finished near the bottom of the American Hockey League standings,
won the Calder Cup the year before they finished near
the bottom, But you look at the players that have
played in Abbotsford, right, yeah, the season before and seasons
before that, and they did not look out of place
when they made the move to the National Hockey League.
And that's that's on Manny. That's a that's a check
mark in the positive box, a positive column for Manny Malholter.
So I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
But you have to eat Adam Foot's salary.
Speaker 4: Adam Foot lost his starting goaltender, he lost his star
defenseman and trade and he's got a number one center
making eleven point six million, who's down to fifty points
a year. So you're I'm not I've never said I'm
backing anyone in this. I'm giving you facts. The goal
post changed on Adam foot and he lost his goalie,
his star defenseman, and he's got a centerman making eleven
six who's down in fifty points like that's why they're
down in thirty second placed on That's the reality, and
I've been I.
Speaker 1: Think the big question is what you talked about earlier,
is he willing? And there were times where that set
He was clearly frustrated with how the goal post changed
to borrow a football term. As you mentioned, there were
times he was frustrated. But given time and given the
fact he probably wants to stay in the National Hockey League,
maybe Adam Foote, you know, the frustration goes away, focuses
on the job at hand and things work out. We'll see.
By the way, that's gonna be the focus of our
poll question, the waterling dog posting poll question. We'll get
to that in our third segment, along with a whole
lot of other stuff. D Timsey, is it just me
coming up in the eleven o'clock hour, Noodles is going
to join us Jamie mcclennan, former National Hockey League goal
tend We'll see what he thinks. O. What Yakaba Dobas
is up to and Freddie Anderson and the goaltenders that
are left. I saw the stat. I saw the stat
on Twitter that I think the four remaining starting goaltenders
are making a total of seven or eight million dollars
total total in the Stanley Cup playoffs and.
Speaker 4: The Vancouver Connects are paying thirteen million next year to
Demp going lancing.
Speaker 1: There you go. Uh big Rye the Twitter guy. Uh
normally in the ten o'clock hour again a big Rye
awaiting the birth of his second child. So well, again
we'll get an update on that. I don't, Nina, I
don't know if you're big Nina. That doesn't doesn't sound right,
but yeah, well we'll come up with something. Yeah, right,
we'll come up with something up next. Jsen Scotting director

Let's introduce the Watling Dog poll question. Then it's the
dog poll question experience one of Victoria's iconic destinations, Sleep, sip,
and stock up, all in one legendary spot. Come sit
and stay at the dog the Watling dog today, Rick,
Then I get her up.
Speaker 4: The Watling Dog pop pole question. Should the Canucks keep
Adam Foot as their head coach? Look at this wopping
Eighty seven percent say no, but thirteen percent say yes.
It is without a question the Canucks. Well, the new regime,
the Twins and Ryan Johnson. This is their big, big,
biggest decision they got to make.
Speaker 1: Right. The first one.
Speaker 4: It's the first one. There's other stuff they're doing. Uh,
they got to find an assistant GM. They got to
find someone to run Absburg.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? What do you mean what
they've got assistant gms? Don, they're not going to run
out Tommy Grenado and Emil cas.
Speaker 4: I get that. Ryan Johnson can't run Absburg anymore. They
got to find some want to run any names out there?
I have not heard any names. They're keeping a pretty
good lid on the names.
Speaker 1: So if we're going to take a look at the
poll question again, the poll results, if you don't mind
to this point, Derek, if that's okay, what is it?
Eighty seven saying wopping in terms of keeping Adam Foot
as the Canucks Canucks head coach and most people, the
majority of people feeling it that this has everything to
do with his handling of Jonathan Lacaramaki. No, it's this season.
Speaker 4: Look here's the reality, Don, They're in a rebuild. You know,
he wasn't hired to go into a rebuild. He was
hired to win, and unfortunately, by Christmas or whatever they
were in thirty second War, he.
Speaker 1: Was also hired the you know, the thoughts out there
to keep Quinn happy.
Speaker 4: So much of this year was about keeping Quinn Hughes happy.
They signed the Bessers, the Garlands, the demp goes, you know,
American guys to help keep Quinn. And he's still bolted.
He's still both.
Speaker 1: Now. Bill Garon has gone to record as saying in
Minnesota his number I you'd expect this number one priority
with the wild you know, knocked out of the Stanley
Cup playoffs, but by Colorado number one priority is to
extend Quinn Hughes. And it was scheduled to become a
UFA at the end of next season.
Speaker 4: And guess what, Quinn likes it there. Don I wonder why.
Good organization, well run, good team, and they got a
shot to go far in the next couple of years.
I think that they can add well geez, he likes
it there. You might resign, well, well, amazing when you
have a well run team, amazing what happens, well, you
know what, it was a well run when he was here.
That's why he wanted out.
Speaker 1: Well, no, I get that, but sometimes you persevere in life.
It's a horrible lesson for the kids out there. Things
are going poorly. I want out. I want to You know,
it's not a crease. That's not what a captain does,
is it.
Speaker 4: We see that all the time.
Speaker 1: You think Hendrick Sadean would do that when he was a.
Speaker 4: So the twins would never do that. They are the
biggest character guys this town has ever seen.
Speaker 1: Okay, Craig Yet nothing from Craig right, So let's hear
some more from Henrik Shedeen from the thirty two Thoughts
podcast courtesy of Kyle Wisconsas And or what I'm pronouising
a name like you do? Eliskoskis We're good? Uh? This
is Henrik on Many Maholtra and the thought that he
might become the next head coach of the Bankerver.
Speaker 5: Caducks Manny malholdre obviously a very popular guy in that
marketplace as well. And at the same time, you know,
it didn't take long for his name to be linked
to or could other teams elsewhere in the league be
interested at the NHL level?
Speaker 1: I just wonder how aware of that you are and
kind of how you view him within the organization.
Speaker 6: No, he's Many, We've been playing with him. We know
what kind of character is, so we we were worked
close a bit last year in abbas for as well,
and the year before, so we know how it works.
He's done a trendous job out there, not only winning
the championship but helping the young players out there. So
he's done a great job. So I understand if there's
interest around the league, there's no question about that. So
that's something we uh.
Speaker 1: We we know for sure, he said, Henrik's something really
interesting there and certainly relevant interest around the league in
Manny Malhultra. And we hear out of Toronto that the Leafs,
and remember Manny worked as an assistant there. There was
from Ontario that the Leafs have interest in Manny Malhultra,
which would make sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that rumor has been out there, not just
last week, it's been out there for several weeks. But
the Kings, the Oilers and the Maple Leafs are looking
for what don a head coach. Haven't heard his name
as much as you're hearing Barrubi's name all these you're
hearing the guy in Vegas his name, cass Yes, you're
hearing all David carl the University of Denver.
Speaker 1: He's young. Yeah, they give Carls in his thirties.
Speaker 4: There was an offer for Carl last year at Big
Bucks from Chicago and he turned it down. He's not
ready yet. He wants to do Denver still so done.
The thing with Manny Maholtre is no one's called for
permission as of on the weekend. But how long will
that last? You know, there's three teams. Canucks could be
the fourth team looking for a coach. I mean this
could get you know, this could break wide open pretty
and the Canucks better get going because if they're going
to firefoot and three other teams are looking for coaches
and they might have their eye on someone else, they
better get going here.
Speaker 1: They better get going here, maybe out of Noman if
they're all interested in Manny maholts all. But the other thing,
the other interesting aspect of this situation. People know this,
but when it comes to Manny Maholtrey, if you make
them their head coach, and look, there's so many mock
drafts that have the Canucks selecting Kale Mahultra, his son
third overall. Yes, So that dynamic of having a player
who's committed to Boston University next year, I guess we'll
see where that goes. Having that player play for his
dad under his dad behind the bench. Listen, you know,
if you're involved in minor hockey and I cold all
the time coach my kid, it doesn't always work out right.
And I always remember the situation and our viewers and
listeners can help us here. But the one that comes
to mind, and again, viewers and listeners can help us
here in terms of other father son combination coach players
through the years in the National Hockey League, but Adam
and Dave Lowry in Winnipeg, it didn't last that long,
but I always remember Dave Lowry becoming interim head coach
of the Winnipeg justin asking his kid, Adam captain of
the dead, say, is it okay? If I? If I
is it okay? If I are you gonna have a
problem with me behind the bench? It's the thing, yeah, right,
especially when your kid is one of the leaders, which
wouldn't necessarily be the case with Caleb out of the shoot.
He seems like a very mature kid. But that's a
dynamic that you know. I don't think any other player
in the National Hockey lea right now at the pro
level has had to deal with or deals with right
now and having said that if he goes to be you,
you know, and Manny lasts you know, Manny becomes head
coach of the Caducks. Here's the other thing, he goes
to be you comes up to the Canucks. Eventually, what
happens when they let go of Manny mahultra, which is
going to happen, or he moves on in some fashion
they fire him as head coach. How's that going to
go over with Caleb if that happens.
Speaker 4: Oh, Caleb's a National Hockey League player. If they fire
his dad, he's got to keep playing.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure that's something his dad that Manny would
would bring up, But that that is a dynamic they
have to they have to think about. Or do you
just say, look, both these people are very, very talented.
We want them both in our organization, whether they're related
or not. And and like you say, but sure, Manning
certainly has a lot of experience. You move on and
you hire them both. But that's something that they have
to think about that they wouldn't with Adam Foot or
anyone else.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And Manny's kid is very high on the Canucks
board draft board. Donny, I got a couple of people
tell me he might be as high as number two
on the Canucks draft board. So I look, we don't
know if he's going to end up in Vancouver. One
thing we do know, the Canucks do have him ranked
as the number one center. They like him a lot,
They've seen him a ton this year. They really like
this player, Caleb Maholtra. But we just don't know if
they're going to get a crack at him or not.
Speaker 1: On six fifty today with Halfred and Broth, they were
talking about this.
Speaker 4: Remember that.
Speaker 1: Remember the quote from Jim Ruthiford his April seventeenth press
conference when they let go of Patrick Calvin. He said
he expected Coots, your buddy Lecramackie there and their first
draft pick, their first round draft pick this year, to
be on their roster this season. That there's that change
now that they've got the third overall pick. I would
think it would. And and when you talk about Killa
will Hope for being, you know, ranked really high on
their their list, he's committed to be you I would
think that would change though.
Speaker 4: Right Donnie. I had a couple of teams reach out
to me and thought that was an unfair comment by
Rutherford why put pressure on the kid?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, okay, I've got a pressure on that.
Speaker 4: I've had scouts tell me that they'd be shocked if
one of the this is not a great deep draft.
Speaker 1: I don't think.
Speaker 4: It's not.
Speaker 1: It's not fair. Why would I put that pressure.
Speaker 4: He's a third overall pick, the first overall pick. It's
probably expected to play. I mean, I I don't see.
Speaker 1: First of all, Jim Ruththerfford is no longer the decision
maker with the banker of a So there's that he's
kind to sell a product. Why would you He's trying
to say that's what that's what that was all.
Speaker 4: Well do you remember when they put vertannan and the
other guy on the roster nineteen? How did the McCann
How did that work out? Don you know? Never Russia
kid and say our third overall picks go.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying that I understand where he was
coming from when he said these, Lector MACKI is a
shoe in to make the Boster.
Speaker 4: No he's not, And especially now he's coming off of
his shoulder surgery done.
Speaker 1: He played with some like Britannon.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and you know, look, Caro maca, you had
that it was a lingering shoulder as she he had
something protecting his shoulder during games. It was weird, but anyways,
so hopefully he's back before training camp.
Speaker 1: Any progress with Craig button you know, you know not
at this point. Okay, all right, let's take your break.
We'll figure things out after the break again. Thanks so
much for tuning in, folks. Donny delayed the team on Jack.

Let's update the poll question a wattling dog pole question
experience one of Victoria's Micah God got it experienced one
of Victoria's iconic destinations, sleep zip stock up all in
one legendary spot. Come sit and stay at the wantling
dog today.
Speaker 4: Rick then to get her up the wadling dog pop
pole question. Should the Canucks keep at on Foot as
their head coach? A whopping eighty eight percent say no,
but twelve percent say yes, So basically a cent a
lot of people in town want Adam Foot gone. Henrik
Sedine says that decision could be coming down this week
as they do a deep dive in all departments this
week over at Rogers Arena byside inbox.
Speaker 1: I think this is some dirty Harrison words that he
should be aware.
Speaker 4: It's dirty, Harry Clint Eastwood.
Speaker 1: No, this is I'm just looking at it here. Why
don't the Kannucks offer t O permission to sign Manny
for coach? If the team swamp draft picks think about it,
first for third. Wow, food for thought, that's it. Wow.
Speaker 4: What do you want me to say? I mean dirty
Harry there coming in hot, coming in hot.
Speaker 1: Well, it's happened before where teams give up assets for
a coach?
Speaker 4: Yes, in the NFL. Oh, big time in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's switch gears here. We'll get back to
the conducts in a bit. I want to talk about
the World Cup situation. I tweeted this out yesterday because
the whole situation with the World Cup in Vancouver. Let's
be honest here, there's seven matches coming to BC place,
and so far there's a whole lot of negativity. So
I tweeted this out yesterday and the response was pretty overwhelming.
But here's the tweet from XBO eighty six to the
twenty ten Olympics. I can't remember an event coming to
Vancouver more surrounded by negativity and indifference than the World Cup.
Is there a buzz no for the World Cup amongst
the people you hang out.
Speaker 4: With, oh, zero, zilch not And it all started to
hang out with But this tweet is a great tweet.
But it all started when this FIFA president came to
town and wanted a police escort from the airport. This
FIFA president will walk by me one hundred times to
save on foods. I wouldn't know who the hell he is,
but to ask for a police escort. And I thank
you Vancouver Police Department for shooting it down. But just
the arrogance. You know, I'm the FIFA president who cares.
This is a hockey city, hockey country. I don't care
about the FIFA president, you know what. But you know what,
now we're hearing hotels and ticket prices. Ticket prices are
through the roof for you know, I mean, come on,
give me a break. And there's a lot and kicking
out our good pal Jason Beck from the BC Sports
Hall of Fame. There's another stupid thing they did, these
FIFA guys. You know the BC, the BC Sports Hall
of Fame is a very special special place for everyone
in British Columbia. These guys come in and they kick
everyone out of the PC Sports Hall of Fame. And
you know, Jason Beck, great guy, a friend of ours
who runs.
Speaker 1: The worst part about it is that Jason and others
are out of work for two months exactly, and there's
no compensation that I know of. For them idiots. They
just come in, they bully the BC Sports Hall of Fame.
I'm just making a lot of money there. It's a
labor of love. Boot them out of BC place when
the World Cup is there and I guess people are
going to attend those matches, certainly the two Canadian matches.
They could be doing a whole lot of business and
they boot them out. It's just like it really worth
there's a lack of respect. And again the high ticket
prices and what infrastructure are we getting out of this?
Like with Expo, we got Skytrain and Science World, the Olympics,
it was the improvements on the Sea of Sky the
skytrain extension. There was infrastructure that we use to this day.
And what seems like this city is going to be
turned upside down for a couple of months in the
summer and I'm not so sure what do we get
out of it. And then you hear yesterday or on
the weekend stories about a business being down in hotels
twenty percent, and that that's the case across the board
with the what sixteen cities that are hosting this across
North America. Here's the thing you run into these people
who think, well, you should talk more about soccer. It's
the biggest sport in the world, and you know FIFA
feels that way certainly if they're treated like that in
other countries in other parts of the world, it's not
number one here. You're not promoting your sports at all
by pulling off this bs bullying the BC Sports Hall
of Fame, getting rid of the logos outside of BC place,
going to all this expense for what like like like, okay,
I get it, seven World Cup matches and maybe you
know what, I want to be wrong here. I want
to be wrong. I wanted to work for the sake
of the City of Vancouver, for the economy of the province.
But I just think they're going about things the wrong way.
They're misguided. Sorry, it's not the number one sport here.
Do a better job of that, to do a better
job of promoting it by coming up with reasonable ticket
prices and realizing that not everybody is in the same
boat as you are. They don't care as much as
you do promote your sport. And this comes at a
time when Vancouver is in danger of losing losing it's
a franchise. Do things that are positive, like it's so obvious.
You boot someone out of you boot an important tenant.
I think it's they're an important tenant, very not a
BC place. You're picking on people that are supposedly below you,
at least that's what you think. Just it's just so wrong,
such a bad, bad taste. Again. I hope I'm wrong
about all this. I hope it all it all works.
That's going to mean nothing though to the people at
the BC Sports Hall of Fame. It's just it's really
really you know, it's it's elitist and that's the way
it's coming across. And that's not right. Sorry, it's not
the number one sport and this I know you always
hear from soccer. Oh you guys never cover soccer and
it's the number one sport. It's not that number on sport.
Speaker 4: Here, No, it's not. This is a hockey nation, hockey
city always will be. Nothing comes close.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but but you know what, if you want
to grow your sport, don't act like this.
Speaker 4: Right from the police thing it to the BC Sports
Hall of Fame. Grow up. You know you're coming into
Vancouver with an arrogant attitude. Everybody's got to move having
on earth for you guys, I don't think so. I
don't think so.
Speaker 1: Having said all of this, the one thing that really
surprised me when I looked into this story is that
the US hosted the World Cup in nineteen ninety four
and set all sorts of attendance.
Speaker 4: Records Sasadina in California. Yep, well it was all over
the place, but I remember the matches in California sold
out eighty ninety thousand people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I wouldn't I wouldn't have guessed that if
somebody asked me. And again, well, it's one of those
things where oftentimes you'll say it doesn't seem to be
a lot of hype, and they're going about things the
wrong way, and then ultimately it comes down to I'll
say it the great sport of soccer, the entertainment that
it serves up, the pride in various nations. People will
come from other countries in this case and it all
works out. But they've started off in a when you're
right about that motorcade by the way, like come on, who.
Speaker 4: The hell are you to get a motorcate in Vancouver? Like,
I mean, all sorts of security, who costs the city money?
I'm so happy the city said beat it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. Uh and and by the way, Canada
are probably BC places hosting two knockout matches. There's a
possibility that one of them, it's a slim possibility, would
be Canada versus Portugal, which would just be a massive
and would do away with everything where people would forget
about everything that we're saying right now. That's that's a
long shot. But having said that and sticking with that possibility,
that's one of the other complaints that people have is
that none of the real big contenders are going to
be coming to exactly with all due respect, we're going
to be coming to BC place. At this point, there's
a whole lot wrong. I hope it all works out
for the city and the province. They're expect you know,
economic impact reaching one billion dollars. Again, I hope it
all works out for the restaurants, the bars and the hotels.
But it doesn't look good right now. And a lot
of it is just because of elitism and arrogance.
Speaker 4: Arrogance, cocky, you know, move do everything for us. No,
we don't have to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And boy, I tell you, when you talk
about world class events in this city. This World Cup
and the Women's World Cup was a success here. If
I'm not mistaken. I'm not so sure it's going that
way here, but it will have a long way to
go to come close to the feeling we had afterwards, Yes,
after x LO eighty six, after the twenty ten Olympics,
the twenty ten Olympics, fairy tale Canada winning gold medal
and women's and men's hockey. Nothing like that is going
to happen. But the way they started and the way
they've acted is really really shameful. It's too bad. All right,
I got some business to do here. Our title sponsor
Able Auctions. We talked about them earlier May twentieth. Able
Auctions will sell industrial equipment including dump trucks, garbage trucks,
pickup trucks, and even a fire truck. Also trailers, forklifts, generators, compressors, excavators,

A big Rye is normally next, he's not here. We'll
do our best to fill the time, though. It's Donnie
and jimimcclean at top of the hour, Donnie Della the
team one Jack all right, normally this time we have
a big Rye, the Twitter guy. Big Rye not here,
a witting the birth of his second It's not gonna
be all week as a matter of fact, because of
the birth of a second child. It's supposed to be today.
So we'll keep you updated, folks. Maybe within the body
of this show, all the best of Ryan Henderson, Kelsey
and the Henderson all right, I got a very good
submission here into the bay side in box. This is
from Chaffine. How could the Canucks not keep early Jack
Adam's favorite Adam Foot? Was it you who came up
with that whole question?
Speaker 4: And that's a shot at you.
Speaker 1: They did get off to a good start, and for
people who don't watch the show on a regular basis,
there's probably a lot of you out there who don't.
Maybe maybe they stopped watching after after that pull question.
The pull question was something to the effect of should
Adam Foot be an early Jack Adams face? They got
off to a good start, and as I recalled, we
got a pretty good response on it, and not all.
Speaker 4: Of it was positive, No, no, but at all.
Speaker 1: Obviously Chaffin is a regular viewer, regular listener. It's like,
and we thank him for that, and not Trump going
to thank him for the shot at me. All right,
let's get back to what Henrik Sedein had to say
with the Or on the thirty two Thoughts podcast. This
is Hendrik Saidein, one of your favorite subjects, Rick, this
is Henrik Sedin on the uh on what the heck
Henrick Sadein, co President of the Bank of the Canucks,
What the heck they're going to do with Elias Pettison
and his.
Speaker 4: Infamous donny Donny stop stop. There's breaking news the Canucks.
Darren Drager is reporting Canucks continue to make sorts change.
His sources say Adam Foot has been let go his
head coach. Other changes to the coaching staff also being made.
So Darren Drager is reporting that the Canucks have fired Adam.
Speaker 1: Foot, So I would think, and there you go, there's
the thanks for that, Derek. There's the treat from Darren Rigor.
Canucks reportedly letting go of Adam Foot. That means we're
going to have to come up with a new poll question. Absolutely,
that's the number one consideration here. So you would have
to think that all scigns point to Many maholt.
Speaker 4: I will be shocked if Many Maholter is not the
new coach of the Vancouver Canucks.
Speaker 1: So we'll put that Elias Petterson, Henrik Sedin clip on
hold and talk talk about this. When the Sadines became
co presidents last week officially of the Vancouver Cannucks, one
of the things that one of the their first assignment
was to decide on a new general manager, Ryan Johnson
already with the Canucks as an AGM, already with the
Canucks as general manager of the Abbotsford Canucks, or Evan
Gold assistant general manager with the Boston Bruins. They felt
they were come well, they know that they're comfortable with
Ryan Johnson, they know what he's all about. They clearly
feel he did a solid job both as an AGM
and general manager of the Abbotsford Canucks. He's got a
Calder Companies on his resume, so they went with Ryan Johnson.
You'd have to think they feel the same way when
it comes to Manny Maholtre. Again, nothing official, we believe
we're hearing from Darren Gregor that Adam Foote has been
let go as head coach of the Vancouver Canucks a
year one of a three year contract. He's gone, so
they have to buy him out paying for the next
two years, whatever the case may be. But you'd have
to think that this is a group, and Ryan Johnson
included now that he's part of the group as of
last week officially, that they are extremely comfortable with Manny Maholtra.
I'd be shocked if he was their guy. They want
to go and this is nothing new when it comes
to National Hockey League executives. They want to go with
people they know, people they're comfortable with. They did that
with Ryan Johnson, did Henrik and Daniel? I would think
they would do the same with Ryan Johnson giving them
advice with Manny Malholdro.
Speaker 4: So Adam foot was told this morning that he is
no longer the head coach of the Vancouver Canucks. Not
last night, not on the weekend. Did this happen this morning?
And boy didn't take long. And you know, Hendrick said
that we're going to have news on Adam Foot this week.
That was yesterday on thirty two thoughts this morning, Adam
was let go. He was let go.
Speaker 1: So there were times during the last season, this past
season with the Canucks where Adam Foot would bring up
what he's been through and I thought he would look
He thought he looked frustrated and understandably so that you
know it was and you often see coaches not say
anything when it when it comes to excuses, but he'd
say things like, you know, the injuries, and you know
the lack of preparation.
Speaker 4: Young guys, too many young guys.
Speaker 1: Trades, the the change of direction to a rebuild, and
he seemed very, very frustrated. And so that would make
me think that when it comes to this, and I
talked about I talked about the possibility of the Sedines
and Ryan Johnson keeping Adam Foot because it was it
was a weapon for them to play somewhere down down
the road. Well, he didn't hire this coach, someone else did,
so we'll bring in our guy. But I wonder when
I heard those clips, it made me think, I wonder
if Adam is the right guy, if Adam, if Adam
wants to do this, if he wants to be part
of a rebuild if he wants to be part of
developed being young hockey players, because there's going to be
probably a whole lot of losing and there is he
prepared for that? Is he prepared to do the developing.
That's what Manny Maholter has been doing down in Abbosford.
Same with the Sedines. They've been on the ice with
players and you see what's happened with Abbitsford again. They
have a Calder Cup title there a couple of seasons ago,
in twenty twenty five, and then last season you see
players you know, Linas Carlson and Maxisun. They looked just fine.
They were developed well down in Abmosford by those three gentlemen.
And so it look I would say, all signs point
to many Maholters. And rightfully, so that now comes up
that question if you do, indeed, let go of Adam
Foot and replace him with Manny Malhultra and you draft
Caleb Maultra, that's going to be a really interesting situation.
Speaker 4: And Donnie, here's the other thing. If it is Manny,
I hope people realize he's not taking the Canucks from
thirty second to tenth and I will say this that
and mark my words. At Christmas time there will be
people bitching about Manny, guaranteed. That's just the way society works.
We have now this tool called social media where every
single body on Earth gets to jump on board and
give their thoughts. But if they do due diligence here, Donnie,
are they gonna let's see first if they open it up.
Do you want to talk to Beruby or But here's
the problem with Berubi and Cassidy. They make four five
million a year, So count them out right away out
of Vancouver because we know what's paying Foot. Yeah, they're
paying Foot right, they're not. We know they kind of
economics played a role in the GM's position in the hiring.
You know, the Canucks don't have the highest paid GM
in the league. I think he's at the other end
of the spectrum. So Berubi Cassidy four five million a year,
Canucks got to pay Foot one point five million for
the next two years. I wonder if Adam Foot goes
to his buddy Rick Tockett in Philadelphia, you know, I
don't know, maybe did just talking a rub on his
coaching staff.
Speaker 1: I don't know Adam Foot's been around for a while.
It's pretty well connected. But you mentioned ye how obviously
Rick Rick talcket Philadelphia he took Yogi with him. That
would be a possibility. But man, I'm telling you this,
this last regime with the Canucks is and I know
people had all sorts of problems with the Jim Benning era.
It may have been worse and amongst a million different things,
there are thousands of different things that they did wrong.
But why not hire Manny Malhultra at the start of
last season? I think Francesco's not asking that he would
have saved them a whole long because the.
Speaker 4: Goal wasn't to rebuild they was to win for Quinn.
That's why he didn't get it. That's why you didn't know.
Speaker 1: But you can't tell me that there aren't people thinking
that today stand up with They could have because he was.
Speaker 4: You just want to call the Cup? They could have said,
you want to call the Cup? Cup Vancouver?
Speaker 1: All right? There you go? All right? Okay, So uh,
it's being reported that Adam Foot has been let go
as head coach of the Vancouver Canucks. Coming up next well,
coming up at eleven fifteen. Craig Butt looks like we've
got Greg Craig Button eleven fifteen TSN Scotting Director, former
National Hockey League general manager, Noodles. Jamie mcclennan coming up next,
will act them their reaction to this latest piece of news.
The Canucks have let go reportedly of head coach at
Adam Foot. Again, thanks so much for tuning in, folks.
Jamie's next, Donnie Dolly the team on Check. Hey everyone,
it's Donnie and Dolly and we're looking to partner with
your company.
Speaker 4: We have several packages and price points to fit your
budget and spread the word about your company on the show,
in our podcast and on social media.
Speaker 1: We'd love to get involved with your company. Called two
five to oh eight eight oh twenty two eighty two
or email advertise at checkmedia dot CA.
Speaker 8: All of our guests today, including Noodles, Jamie mcclennan standing by,
brought to you Buyer Title, sponsor, Able Auctions, Able Auctions
dot c A.
Speaker 1: It's all over social media now. Thomas Grantz has picked
it up. The Vankavic Canucks have fired Adam Foot after
only one year as their head coach. No replacement named
at this point. As we bring in Noodles TSN. Jamie mcclennan,
thanks for doing this, sir. How are you your reaction
to that? To that news Adam Foot out as head
coach of the anchor at Canucks aggressive.
Speaker 9: But you know, I don't want to say not surprising,
because if you are going to kind of have a
turnover a new regime, you want everything you want to
clean slate. And I would argue, you know you've got
the Sadine brothers in there now with RJ. Would Manny
Mahultra's name be front and center on that just based
on his history with the organization. They might even have
a bigger, spicier meatball on their hand and maybe potentially
drafting Manny, you know, because he kind of falls into
that spot where they would be picking. So be interesting
to see what's going to go on in Canuckland. But
you know the owner, he's the guy who dictates or
writes the check. So after one year they didn't have
the greatest year.
Speaker 4: We know that.
Speaker 9: So I think it's just clean slate. It's not more
it's not about what Adam Foot did. It's more about
where the group is at. And I think if you
have new management and a new vision. You want to
start with that clean slate, so you just you let
everybody go and then you move on from there.
Speaker 1: Is there going to be a bidding war Canucks versus
least for the services of Manny Milultra.
Speaker 9: You could argue that Manny Mahultra would be probably be
one of the biggest up and coming progressive coaches out
there instead of the recycled coaches that we have all
been talking about. Carl in Denver is an interesting want
to I think his name is, has come about been
coaching in college and had tremendous success. Does he want
to leave? Does he make a lot of money there?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 9: Is whether Vancouver or Toronto is the first destination, uh,
the one that's perfect for you?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 9: And again I know coaches can't be fussy, but sometimes
you do have to be mindful of where the organization
is at and what the expectations of you are if
you're going to join that organization. So Manny Mahultra would
be a guy that I would look at in Toronto
for sure, but also I would look at Carl. I
would look at younger progressive guys, either in the AHL
or junior in college ranks to see where you are
going instead of just recycling a guy who's been through
the league a few times.
Speaker 1: Does it not make sense for the Canucks to promote
many malholtra in that they are. They've gone on record
as saying they're rebuilding. He's done an excellent job, I
would say, of developing players in ABA. Does it not
seem like a perfect fit.
Speaker 9: Yes, I think it seems like the almost too easy, like, hey,
we're gonna you know, guys have had a great system
going in abtsburd You can bring the guys up and
and and Manny knows the players throughout the organization same
as RJ. You know, they've done a terrific job. I
got to be honest, I think it's a great hire
for RJ. I think the Sadein brothers are very smart,
driven people that are going to help the organization. You know,
Jimmy Rutherford's stepping away, and that's no slight on who's
been there. It's more about where the organization can go. Finally,
you've got a different vision. And if you are going
to say the rebuild, retool, whatever words, whatever swear words
that have been out there that they refuse to do
or say in Vancouver can be used now and you can.
You can paint a clear vision for the fan base,
and the fan base is not that fickle that they're go, hey,
we're on board with this. There's an exciting new vision
in place. Let's see if they can follow through and
have success. Let's see if we can be the next Anaheim.
We can be you know, Autawa, we can be all
the Montreal look at Montreal success. But you have to draft,
you have to develop, you have to have good trades,
and you have to have a vision and stick with
it and not get too excited and get ahead of
it if the vision ends up maybe a year ahead
of time, Jamie.
Speaker 4: Three Canadian markets are looking for coach now, Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton.
I think I saw a stat on the weekend. Ryan
NuGen Hopkins has had ten coaches in Edmonton. Is it
tougher coach? How much tougher? You know this? How much
tougher is it coaching in Canadian markets?
Speaker 9: I would say tougher, Yes, is certainly a word. Expectations
are high and it's funny because you guys live in
a passionate market. I do as well in Toronto. Grew
up in Edmonton. You played in Calgary, so I'm well
aware of all these Canadian markets and how passionate and
how passionate and how educated they are. I would say
there's one thing that has maybe upset the Apple card,
and I don't know if it's true or not, but
if you look at how the Vegas Golden Knights do business,
they stepped into the league and said we want to
win now today, and that's always care about. We don't
care about the popular vote, we don't care about winning
press conferences, we don't care about you know, X, Y
or z. We are just going to try and create
the best team every year and win every year. And
they with the parody in the National Hockey League, now
you are seeing it has to be a cutthroat. This
is a business, and I know it's frustrating for fan bases.
And you're right, Ryan Nugent Hopkins played fifteen years in
the league, has had ten different coaches. Now that's an
organization that's bottomed out and had how many number one picks?
They finally got McDavid. Yes, where are they going right now?
They took a step back this last season and they
looked tired. They looked disjointed and they had to fire
their coach because to me, they did not progress systematically
under Chris Knoblock. So you do need a different type
of coach. And I would say you need a different
type of coach in Edmonton than you do in Toronto
then you do in Vancouver right now, based somewhere individual
organizations are So that's the key thing. You don't just go, hey,
we're going to interview all the same coaches and see
where we land. To me, you know what you just
talked about. Manny Beholtra has been in the organization. He
might be the next best thing. Vancouver's got him right
underneath their nose and they helped develop him, they help
you know, grow him as a coach, and same thing
with RJ. So Vancouver might be in the most advantageous
position because I think the expectation from the fan base
and the organization is low right now, because hey, this
is what we're retooling, we're rebuilding. Whatever we're going to do,
we're gonna build it and do it right, and we're
going to put the right people in in place, Whereas
in Edmonton the expectation is they need a closer, they
need somebody to get them over the top, and in
Toronto depending on what John Chaika chooses to do, and
in Marching orders from Keith Pelly, do you hey, are
we retooling trying to be Boston or are we going
to bottom out and trade some of the top end
players and try and be a Vancouver Anaheim, San Jose, Chicago?
All of that. So there's lots of questions to be asked,
but all three of those organizations are in different spots.
Speaker 4: How tough though, is it going to be? Whoever is
coaching the Canucks. You are entering a rebuild. You're not
gonna win. You're gonna have a ton of young kids
in the lineup. That's not easy to do, Jamie.
Speaker 9: No, not at all. But I would have them call
I would have if it's Manny Maholtro, I'd have them
called Ryan Huska, say how things been going in Calgary?
Because I'll tell you one thing that in Calgary they
do not cheat you for effort any night. Ryan Husker
is trying to win every night as a coach in Calgary.
And yes, a Craig Conroy, they've had they've had the
tank there. They did it. I call it in a
dignified way every night. They they fought for those points,
but you can see they're cycling through. They've got some
real exciting, good young players. They've got the framework of
a good team there that needs experience, and he's got
nothing but draft picks and financial currency to go out
and continue to try and build his team. So you're
talking about the Vancouver Canucks. I would take a look
at the you know, Ryan Husker and his coaching staff
and say, you know, can you give Manny some advice
on that situation on on you know, yes, the expectation
to be low and you might bottom out again or
be near the bottom, but that doesn't mean you can't try.
That can't doesn't mean you can't have a tight system.
That means you can't set the culture. And that's the
one thing I've noticed about the Calgary Flames is every
person that or goes into that organization understands what the
culture is right now. And I think that's what's going
to be established in bank who moving forward with the
new people.
Speaker 4: All right, one Canadian market that will not be changing
the coaches. Montreal Boil Boy Final four Young Team Game
seven last night. Boil Boy, this team's on the raw.
I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon, Jamie. They're
gonna have to be what. You're gonna watch these guys
for years and years.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, because if you look at it, you look at
their key positions, they've got players in the waiting. So
you know, as much as Jakobdobish, who's twenty four years old,
there's a great story, could arguably be up for the
con smythe right now. They've got Jacob Fowler who's twenty
one there and might be when it's all said and done,
better than Dobish. You look at the defenseman. Yes, they've
got Lane Hudson, but they've got Rhinebacker, They've got Enstrom
in the miners, they've got hag in college. Like, they've
got depth in every position ready to push through and
challenge the incumbent. And that's not even talking about slav Cooski, Cawfield,
Suzuki Demodoff. Like, these guys are young, skilled, fast, hungry
and play with a determination. So you are going to
see Montreal. They're not going to only be here for
this playoff deep run. It's going to be years to come.
And I would argue that Buffalo you know, have a
few key decisions to be made, obviously with the Alex
Tuck situation. But Buffalo is not going anywhere that Atlantic.
It's very interesting. And you asked me about the Toronto
maple leafs, I mean the Maple Leaves. If they try
and retool, no problem. You can put yourself right into
that mix. But there's no guarantee that you're a playoff
team because five spots came out of the Atlantic. Well,
who are you taking out? Are you going to take
out Ottawa? You're going to take out Tampa? Are you
going to take out Montreal? Buffalo? Detroit's it up and coming.
Team Florida is getting healthy and retooling as we speak
right now, and that's a Cup champion ship pedigree. Team
Boston made the playoffs off a quick retool. So at
the end of the day, you have to identify the
situation that you're in and also the division that you
play in. As far as quality of competition.
Speaker 1: You can use this. I saw this tweet. It's the
Adams Division that remains, the old Adams Division that remains.
Other than Vegas, the final four, Hertford, Montreal and Quebec.
You seem pretty impressed by that, Jamie.
Speaker 9: I am impressed because I'm old enough to remember the
Adams Division without having to google. I know, you know
what it's exciting. You can make a case for all
four teams. I still lean Colorado right now, but as
you know, you have to play the games because we've
seen injuries, inconsistencies, all these types of things that can
you know, downfall or hurt a team as you go
deeper into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And we'll see what that layoff does to Carolina. They
haven't played since May ninth. Hey, thanks for this, Jamie,
appreciate it. You got hit with the news moments ago
and you came through with flying colors as always for us.
Thanks so much, Nettles, thanks for having me.
Speaker 9: Guys. Well chat soon you bet.
Speaker 1: Jamie, mcclear and Noodles TSN again. The news it is
being reported. I think it's all but official. Adam Foot
out as.
Speaker 4: Head coach at the Bank of the Canucks, and we
got official news from the Canucks. Not only Adam Foot,
assistant coach of Scott Young, Kevin Dean and Brett MacLean
all fired as well.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break. Craig Button with more on this

ca A. Just before we get to Craig Button T S. N. Scott,
the director Bayside Ocean Side Resort in uh Parksville, Pat
the potato farmer. Yeah, great news for those who think
the Sedines are too nice. They fired Adam Foot Do
you know that thought last week? Nice guys, They're not
going to make any bold moves. Same with Ryan Well,
they let go of Adam Foot, and it didn't take
all that long. Again, in case you're just tuning in
the cannuction of let go of Adam Foot and his
entire coaching staff. We don't know who the replacement for
Adam Foot will be at this point. Speculation obviously a
promotion of Manny Malhultra here to talk about that and
more t s and Scotting director Craig Button. Thanks for
doing this, sir.
Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 3: I am great and Daniel and Henrik are really nice guys.
Don't ever underestimate their competitive spirit or their fire. You
don't have Hall of Fame careers and the successes they
had with everybody, first of all calling them the you know,
the names they were called when they first came over here,
and then being top players, everything they went through in
their careers. Yeah, you might say they're nice guys. Don't
ever call them soft? Is there anything but.
Speaker 1: And today they let go of Adam Foot along with
Ryan Johnson. He would have been in on the decision.
Just your your reaction to Adam Foot's dismissal.
Speaker 3: Well, number one is that listen, you gotta be decisive,
and you know they looked at it and they said,
you know what, he's not our coach, so be decisive
onont it and move on number two. And I think
this might be the most important part of it. Ryan
Johnson's been in the organization for a number of years.
Daniel and Henrick have been around for a number of years,
and they were here when Adam was an assistant coach,
and so they saw things and they said, Nope, not
gonna happen. We need somebody different. And that's I'm not
here to knock on Adam foot. I'm saying that they
looked at it and said, we need something different, and
Adam cant provide that. Therefore we're making a change. And
I love the fact that they were decisive. And this
goes back to the Vancouver Connects name and Daniel, Henrick
and Ryan call it the three headed monster. It's not
a monster. I think it's great news. I loved what
they did. I love Ryan Johnson to the manager. Daniel
and Hendrick have learned. Ryan knows what's happening here. If
you bring in a new manager from outside, he's going
to go through this whole process of trying to evaluate, Okay,
what do we have? You know, what do I have here?
Am I going to name a new coach? Am I
not going to name a new coach. You know, Ryan,
Daniel and Hendrick have the benefit of having that institutional
knowledge and understanding of what they feel is necessary for
this team to move forward, and they were decisive. And
I think it's just another example of how and let
me use the word, I think it's fantastic what Frances
Wackuilany did in hiring Daniel Hendrick and Ryan Johnson to
oversee the hockey offs.
Speaker 1: So Daniel and Hendrick get promoted, So does Ryan Johnson.
Does it make sense that Manny Malholtre represents the next
promotion and the next head coach of the Bankerver Canucks.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean Ryan knows it very well for the
success they had with the Abbotsford Canucks back when they
won the Calder Cup trophy. Listen, I think the first
thing they have to do is make a determination about
what they may be willing or what they may be
ready to do with the third overall pick. I'm on
record here, I think that Maholtra would be an excellent
fit here for the Vancouver Canucks. So if the Vancouver
Canucks feel that way, did you have to evaluate, Okay,
what would it mean if his dad is the coach?
I mean, Caleb's not coming to play for the Vancouver
Canucks next year. And do I think that Manny is
a capable candidate to coach in an absolutely one percent?
But you have to evaluate that and the impact that
you know, the understanding the dynamics of that, and if
you think the dynamics could and you really like Caleb
Maholtra It's really hard to find top end centers. There's
a lot more coaches available than there are top end centers.
So if I felt as an organization that Caleb was
our guy that we had identified, I would be sitting
there going and I think it might be a dynamic
that might not be the best thing for everybody involved.
I'd look elsewhere for a different coach.
Speaker 4: Hey, Craig, you know, put your general manager's hat on.
You're running a rebuild. What's the best type of a
coach for a rebuil? Because he's gonna be in a
Canadian market, there's gonna be a lot of losing, you know,
social media whining and bitching, and you know they could
be whining about the same stuff about Manny at Christmas time.
What do you need from a coach early in a rebuild.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna get to that my answer. And
a stuffond here. I think you're being very presumptuous, Rick,
Why is there going to be a lot of losing?
Why do you start with the premise that they have
five defensemen and are NHL defenseman They have some really
good forwards. You know, we know that the goaltenant has
to get better. Let's wait and see what they do,
you know, leading into the draft, what what maneuvers they
make to add players. This is not a team that
was the Chicago Blackhawks that had nothing, or the San
Jose Sharks that had nothing. I don't start with the
premise that there's gonna be a lot of losing. I
really don't. I don't see this as something that's burned
to the ground. Get it to the studs. When you
have five defensemen like that, you have some good prospects,
you have some other really good players in your organization.
Is there work that has to be done? Yeah? And
I'm going to give you an example. In nineteen ninety five,
our team in Dallas, we were the fifth worst team
in the league. We're terrible and the next year with
like ninety five ninety six, we were work. The next
year we rebounded. We got our team back in the North.
We have to make some moves. We got some players.
We had a lot of good young players. Now the
same good young players that were there the year before
came back, but they had support. Give them a chance
to see what we can do there. Before we start
on the presumption that this is a complete rebuild, there's
going to be a lot of losing. I think with
any coach, I don't care who you are, I don't
care where. You have to be able to understand what
your players need at any moment in time, the connections
you make with your players. And we've heard Daniel and
Henrik and Ryan talk about the importance of community, being
involved with the media, not having the immediate at arm's length,
making sure that I think these are all important things
for a coach, articulating, making sure that you can talk.
I watched Marty Saint Louis and Montreal, and I think
Marty St. Louis been outstanding. And the media in Montreal
is as demanding as any media anywhere, and the Vancouver
media is excellent and demanding. Nothing wrong with that, but
somebody that's going to be open and forth right and
deal with it and at the same time help the
players be the best they could be. There's gonna be
different stages of that. But if you have a coach
that says, oh, we're gonna play this way and we're
gonna do this, and you know, not understand and Marty
never did that. As time went on, he started to
put a little bit more demands on the players because
they were more ready to take those demands. I think
that's true of any coach, Rick, and I think that's
what the Vancouver Connects need as much as anything.
Speaker 1: Hey, Craig, one thing you said earlier that I want
to get back to for a second. If indeed Many
was the head coach and they draft Caleb third overall,
what's the best approach for those two gentlemen going forward
in that situation.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I don't know. I think you have
to have those conversations long before you get into that situation.
You have to understand, like, like, listen, you know, Vancouver
conuncs are going to meet with a lot of prospects.
You're going to go and sit and talk with Caleb.
You're gonna go and sit and talk with Manny. You
want to go and talk and talk it out and understand. Okay,
you know he's the coach. What's it going to mean?
How does he respond? What's the dynamic? I mean one
of the biggest things that I know when I was
involved in with NHL teams and William Um, we wanted
to know the influence that parents had on their kids,
not in a negative way, just to understand. You know,
what's the influence, you know what's the agent's influence friends
and how they respond to it. You got to keep
in mind these kids are young and different stages of maturity,
So I need to have that conversation long before and
understand it long before I put them together. Because, like
I said before, if the dynamic is something that you
have concerns about, and I'm not saying that in a
negative way because Nanny's a pro, Caleb's a young pro
and very mature, it's about understanding it so you don't
get into a spot where it could be uncomfortable because
it's not just about Caleb and Nanny. It's also about
the other players on the team too. It's always dynamics,
and as I said, I'm very clear on it. If
you think that those dynamics are not in the best
place to work, I'll go find another coach finding a center.
If he's your center, that's harder to find.
Speaker 1: We haven't even talked about the haves and sabers. We're
out of time here. You're not fun last.
Speaker 3: Night we going to talk Listen, it was fun last night.
Did for the Montreal kid. This is a Vancouver show.
We don't need to be talking about at all.
Speaker 1: Thank you boy. You know our market well, you know it?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, thanks for this my friend. Well, maybe
we'll talk about that game last night next week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, or you can just send me a text
if we can talk about it over text.

Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: What else do you guys? See? Series one?

Speaker 4: I did not stop and he got interviewed for the
Canucks GM Boston AGM. Yeah, he's he's on the move somewhere.
We haven't figured out where yet though.
Speaker 1: And upper Deck Series one hockey cards from back in

brought to you by the world famous Whissler Golf Club.
Go see Big Al out there a great track. Great track.
Speaker 1: DTMZ brought to you by the Arnold Palmer design Whistler
Golf Club in Buddy golfers to stay up to date
with Phase two of their golf course reno on Instagram
at Whistler Golf and just a reminder of the golf
shop and the Whistler Driving Range will remain open this summer.
In big Helloa al Al Chris Manson up there at
Whistler regular viewer, you know he's interested in the news.
With the Canucks today, letting go of head coach Adam
Foot and his staff. We don't know who the replacement
will be. Speculation swirling around Abbotsford head coach Man Malholtra.
Let's do this. Let's take a left turn. We're taking
a lot of left turns today, but let's do that
again instead of reading an entertainment story. We'll get to
birthdays in a second. But we've got all sorts of
submissions into the Bayside Inbox, so let's read some of
those and we'll read more of them in the actual
is it just me segment next, But you can do
the on all right.
Speaker 4: Sorry, but foot had to go. He's part of the problem.
Too often his defenders played awful and we got our
position a lot. Okay, so let's get into this. He
was playing from who's no name there on the submission
Please put your submissions the name behind it. He was
playing four defensemen under the age of twenty two for many,
many nights. After they dropped a thirty second, they made
the trade with Quinn Hughes. Not many coaches play for
defensemen every night under the age of twenty two. You
know that, I know that there was going to be
a ton of mistakes, a ton of mistakes when you
play four d under the age of twenty two.
Speaker 1: So I'll go Devil's advocate here, yep, because there's been
a lot of people saying that in the Bayside Inbox,
and I think the problem people who know a lot
about hockey and a lot of our viewers and listeners
out there, they've played hockey, they've coached hockey, they know
a lot about hockey. The net front coverage was not great.
And that's something pretty pretty simple, and maybe it's something
that the Sedines know noticed It's not simple but basic
to hockey, and it was oftentimes a problem. We're getting
a lot of that into the into the base side inbox.
And I understand, and I have all the respect in
the world for Adam Foot, but that's a basic that
you know, struct young defenseman or old defense whenever the
case may be, have to come up with. So I
understand where people are coming from. Maybe the Cedines saw that.
I'm sure they did. Ryan Johnson saw that, and as
a result they can actually looking for a new head coach.
Speaker 4: Yes, they partly part that's part of the reason Ryan
Johnson just quoted. Our group feels the need for new
coaching voices are needed to chart a path forward. They
just want to start brand new.
Speaker 1: Fresh well, and it's there's also and and Craig Button
had a compliment for Francesco Acolinia. You don't see that
often on the show that on the on the show,
I wonder from a business point of view, you know,
can you sell Adam Foot going Look, it's it's it is,
It is hockey. It's about wins and losses, but it's
also about dollars. And could you sell Adam Foot going
into next season? I'm not so sure of that now.
Having said that, it's gonna cost them dollars because they
have to pay him out for the next for the
next two seasons. But I guess they feel it's worth it.
Speaker 4: And what I like about this the Twins and Ryan
Johnson would have had to have asked Aquallini, we're gonna
Firefoot because there's two years left. He said, go ahead
and do it because he's got the commitment on money
three million over now.
Speaker 1: But you're against that all the time.
Speaker 4: Stop it. Don They gotta pay Rutherford, they got to
pay alv now, they gotta pay Foot.
Speaker 1: Don the fird is still he's an advisor. He's got
my dream job. He's in Carolina. I guess is there,
like they're on the ocean there or whatever. They come
and he's just sitting back and saying, yeah, Firefoot, that's great.
Speaker 4: Hey, he's paying three guys not to work for him
next year. And it's pretty significant money.
Speaker 1: Does Oe l too?
Speaker 4: Oh there's there's that's all total ten eleven million dollars.
He's got to pay don to for pizza money stopping it.
That's not how business works.
Speaker 1: Done? What else you got here?
Speaker 4: Sadine's and Johnson are way too smart to keep foot.
They're just doing this out of respect for him. Manny's
the next coach. Aussie Goose comes in there with this.
But I'll tell you right now, new GM, new co presidents,
cleaning house, starting fresh, starting fresh, darning.
Speaker 1: Jeff Chill, Beruby and Cassidies are just me. But Baruby
and Cassidy makes zero sense for this team. Manny is
the only right choice. Uh. Bruby and Cassidy are getting
wooed by the Edmonton Oilers. Yes, Craig Barruby is the
Oilers are interested in him. Cassidy makes I think the
most sense. He seems like a win guy, a win
now type of guy. What he is, He's a win
now type of guy and he's won Stanley Cup recently.
And you've got a guy there wearing ninety seven, another
guy wearing twenty nine in Edmonton Times running out on
them I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Somebody would be a
kick ass type of coach like he is and with
a resume light like he has. So brew Bayning, Cassidy Vancouver.
I agree with Jap Joe make no sense, makes no
sense at all. Manual Hoult makes the most. Shi's gonna happen.
Speaker 4: Brewby and Cassidy don't want to come to Vancouver. Nobody
wants to start and to rebuild. If you're a veteran guy,
well you just said it too. They're more expensive and
they're four and a half five million each for those guys.
Canucks need a young guy that's good with developing young
kids and he's okay with what's up ahead.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to birthdays now, and then we'll continue
with the submissions in the Bayside Ocean Front Resort in
Parksville in box in the regular is it just me
a segment, but right now, as part of DTMZ, we
always do birthdays. Take a little break from the Adam
foot dok here, very little break, very short break, and
birthdays on May nineteenth, and again Ryan's not here, Folks
awaiting the birth of kid number two.
Speaker 4: Kid number two, Kid number two, is on the way
and this is brought to you by Pork Chops Louise
but your shop at Casino at Pitcher Creek, Alberta. This
guy was the first round pick of the Stars in
nineteen ninety nine, Drafted out of the University of Michigan.
He helped the Wolverines to the NCAA title in ninety six.
The only come we're talking, first round pick of Dallas

a gold medal in three straight.
Speaker 1: World Junior Yeah, Dallas in nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 4: Ninety five, Michigan. He wanted to call the Cup with
Saint John's Calgary's farm team. Eight years in the NHL,
four hundred and eighty one games after playing, Jim Rutherford
hired him in Pittsburgh. Rutherford named him an assistant GM
and the Penguins in twenty fourteen. He's been a GM
of two NHL teams, including.
Speaker 1: One down the Highway. WoT you, Jason Bart Yeah, Jason.
Speaker 4: Botterol Do you want me to keep going? I mean,
I can't believe.
Speaker 1: Well I got it so no, Well it.
Speaker 4: Took long enough. And Nina, you can help here. And
you two there Derek, Derek. Okay, here's only worked together
for five Forget Derek's name, because I don't see his face.
I don't know it's Derek. It could be someone else
behind him. He was a fifth round pick in twenty two.
Speaker 1: Face is the issue.
Speaker 4: He was a fifth round pick in the twenty twenty No.
Twenty twelve NHL Draft.
Speaker 1: Twenty twelve or twenty twenty twenty twelve round, fifth round.
Speaker 4: Considered a late bloomer and was barely recruited undrafted in
the USHL. Drafted out of the NCAA A mass Lowell,
you of mass Lowell. He received the Mike Richter Award
as the top goalie in college hockey. Started his career
in Saint John's twenty fifteen American League All Star Game
Saint John's that moved to Winnipeg. He would play for
the Moose. Was an All Star with the Moose in
twenty sixteen American League. Would finish his rookie season Winnipeg
twenty six wins, four shutouts. Connor hillbook, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Connor Hilbert, you got it. I had as soon as
I said Winnipeg. It was common common sense. Okay, this
guy nineteen ninety five, drafted in the NBA right out
of high school, paving the way nineteen ninety five, ninety five,
paving the way for the likes of Kobe Bryant, Lebron James,
Kevin Garnett. Ah, that's bs, how'd you get?
Speaker 1: That was one of the first, well not theefer. The
first high school player I remember being drafted was Cobe Brant. No.
The first high school player I can remember making the
jump from high school to the NBA was Moses Malone.
And then remember him seventy four foot fall.
Speaker 4: Oh, who doesn't remember him?
Speaker 1: And then it was there was a gap there and
then along came Kevin Garnett and Kobe.
Speaker 4: I interviewed Kevin Garnett rogers A Rena was coming off
the bus. We were both walking Europe, coming off the bunch.
He was coming off the bus and I and my
arm was.
Speaker 1: Like this, and you know, so you're saying he was tall.
Speaker 4: He was tall. And as we were walking, he let
me interview him. A really nice guy. Kevin Garnett. Okay,
this guy for all you wrestling fans out there, everybody,
look at this. In nineteen seventy three, Vince McMahon was
this Wrestling Legends agent in the nineteen eighties. You were
battle Hulk Hogan all the time. By the time he
was twelve, he was six three, two hundred pounds.
Speaker 1: Come on, what under the giant?
Speaker 4: Ah, how'd you get that?
Speaker 1: Well? The battle, the battle was the wrestling any a
one where they fought. He was and Hulk Hogan picked
him up. It was amazing. And then you know, you
say to yourself, oh, Hull Cogan was so so Hulk
Hogan's huge, and he looks so small next to Andrea
the Giant. He was into wrestling back then.
Speaker 4: He once pounded one hundred and fifty beers in one night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were with him.
Speaker 4: I'm not lasting one hundred and fifty I'll tell you
that much. But anyways, Andre, the is no way.
Speaker 1: I don't care how big you are. One hundred and
fifty beers, that's not happening.
Speaker 4: Done, he's over five.
Speaker 1: I like the Happy Days episode where they were like
shot glasses of beer.
Speaker 4: Done, he's seven, he's over. Remember the Happy Days, Happy Days?
Who doesn't I know every single happy Remember when.
Speaker 1: Richie had seventy shots of beer?
Speaker 4: Richie did cutting out?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but they were just in shot glasses.
Speaker 4: This is a true story. You had one hundred and
fifty beers. If beers, he's five hundred pounds done.
Speaker 1: I'm no longer with us.
Speaker 4: Oh sadly, Andre the giant pass.
Speaker 1: Well, no wonder often consumed one hundred and fifty beer.
We're good read it, all right? Is it just me?
Is coming up? A next more submissions from you into
the Bayside inbox. And a day we find out to
Adam Foot is no longer the head coach of the

Speaker 4: If the Canucks choose Maholter as their next head coach,
maybe they've already made up their mind. They're not picking
a son Dave from uh so Surrey? No, where is
it Dave? Dave Dave from Surrey? Listen, Uh, it's impossible
to know if they're going to take many Maulter's kid
because they don't know if he's going to be available
at three. Look, stop with the Manny the kids stuff?
Uh why DoD it's interesting, it's weeks away. But it's interesting.
It's weeks away. Like you think that's gonna stop them
from announcing Manny's the head coach this week? They might
not get Manny's kid at the draft.
Speaker 1: We're all night they might, they might not, or do
they want to get him but won't because Manny's the
head coach just talked about that. It's interesting that is

with his kid.

forced to like. Hendrik Sedine said, oh, we got to

assistant coaches.
Speaker 4: They had no choice, So Hendrick wants to stop.
Speaker 1: The other guys would have waited until we're out there.

Speaker 1: Looking we gotta bring Okay, we'll wrap up the show
the poll question next, Donnie the team on, check.

you agree with the Canucks decision? Are Adam Foot?
Speaker 1: And I should mention this is a new poll question
given the news of the last couple of hours.
Speaker 4: And it's the results of the same opposite of the
other one. But anyways, eighty nine percent say yes they
agree with the Canucks firing out of Foot, and eleven
percent say no, they don't agree with it. So there
you go.
Speaker 1: Yep, it's just in Adam Foot out as head coach
of the Vancouver Canucks. We don't know about a replacement.
His staff has been His coaching staff has been let
go as well. You had an interesting stat very quickly.
Speaker 4: Five coaches. The new guy will be the fifth coach
in five years for the Canucks. That is not good
on any front, in any fashion or form. You do
not want five coaches in five years. It is hard
to develop players with five coaches in five years.
