don't know where that went. Yeah, I'm sure Cal said

she was terrified when I dug that up, but and

played it for I appreciate, appreciate your kind words about that.

Speaker 3: Last week. Do you want to tell the story about

going into the delivery room.

Speaker 1: Well, I didn't go into the operation.

Speaker 4: She had a okay, I didn't go in because it's

blood and all that stuff. That's a so Kels's mom

went in with her. And so once Ben was delivered

and out of Kels, they gave Ben to Kels's mom, Maureen,

and then they said they had like a sheet like

a curtain up right, and they said, like, don't look

on the other side of the curtain.

Speaker 1: Because Kels was still very much.

Speaker 3: You might as well say take a peek.

Speaker 4: Yeah, like don't look, don't look, And she said, okay,

whatever reason, she glanced because I feel like that's a

natural thing to do, don't do it. Yeah, So she

glanced and like everything was everywhere, and so it's not great.

Speaker 3: And then that's not the story I'm talking about.

Speaker 1: Which one are you talking?

Speaker 3: You told us, Oh, well, okay.

Speaker 4: I was getting all sorts of text messages Tuesday morning

in a harsh panic of what was happening with the show.

Speaker 3: As my wife was leaving to go in for someone

was texting him as his wife was that was you.

Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, because we needed stuff done here.

Speaker 3: Yeah, he was kind of busy, octupied. I know, but

it's work.

Speaker 1: Is work is work.

Speaker 4: And I do got to say, because you brought this

up numerous times last week, your energy level, you got

to pick it up. You got to pick last week.

Don even says to you, like, how's it going?

Speaker 3: You're like whispering. He was like, we're at augusta brutal.

What do you want me to do?

Speaker 5: You?

Speaker 1: If I yelled, then we get five hundred emails? You

the rick yell A happy medium. No, there's not a

happy meeting. Am either on going to go full blast

or low low? I mean low right good.

Speaker 3: This is good.

Speaker 1: We get what happened to mister.

Speaker 3: I paid my dues up north, and I learned a

lot about broadcasting up there. Energy level is important.

Speaker 1: Yeah, then we get fifty emails Rick yelling Why does

he yell Rick about that? I'm trying to keep it down,

and then we get the emails he's yelling, I can't win.

Speaker 3: I can't win. I think you'll get more emails if

you continue with the low energy. Where are we with?

And again, congratulations to write anything else to add? No,

I got nothing, I got nothing. I got nothing, and

you wanted. Hats off to the people who help you out.

Speaker 4: Oh, I mean we Langley Memorial Hospital, the nurses. It's

just it's just unbelievable. Bendit has spent a little bit

of time in the nick you everything's good, but just

day in, day out, the people that go in and

it's their job and their twelve hour shifts in the

whole nine and in fact we have these signs up costing.

Speaker 1: They hear a lot, but they do a lot of

great works.

Speaker 4: Just unbelievable, amazing people. So shout out to them. Thanks

for holding it down this week. Last week, although I

did it, buddy, say, you should be a little worried

about Quinn. Nina did a good job as well, but

you should be a little worried about Quinn.

Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yeah, pick up my game.

We'll talk later this week, all right, Okay, Canucks tough transition. Uh, well,

we'll do it. Cannucks, where are we with many Malhultra

and the possibility about him getting promoted to become head

coach of the Vancouver Canucks.

Speaker 1: Wasn't it a week ago today they fired Adam Foot

Donny so week Tuesday?

Speaker 3: Yeah, it was right off the bat, right off the bat.

It's a bad start to see it was Monday. It

was I thought it was Monday. Okay, Tuesday, early last week,

early last week. We we could find out soon if

Manny Maholter is the new coach. It would not surprise

some if the Canucks are negotiating with Maholts right now. Look,

don talks can always break down, but as of now,

I'd be really surprised and Maholter doesn't get the job.

Speaker 1: It's made the most sense from day one. He's ready

to take over an NHL bench. He's going to have

the patients required and the rebuild to play the kids,

work with the kids, get the kids better. That look

when you look at a coach. Okay, I saw some

guy on Twitter on go get but what's his name?

Speaker 3: The Colorado coach.

Speaker 1: First of all, no coach making four or five million

is gonna want to go to Vancouver with David Carr.

Speaker 3: No the color Benner.

Speaker 1: No coach is gonna want to come to the thirty

second place team. Who's a veteran making.

Speaker 3: Four We're saying that Benner is gonna come.

Speaker 1: To Some guy on Twitter was tweeting out, I'm.

Speaker 3: Sure there are people who think that he should be

let go. The guys want to Stanley Cup and uh

best regular season record and now they're dealing dealing with injuries.

More on that later, but anyway, go ahead.

Speaker 1: He's the perfect fit for a rebuild coach wise, he

knows the ultra yeah, the multra is. He knows all

the kids, he can have the patients. Foot didn't have

the patience to play the kids. You know, it's a

big reason why he's gone. But now expectations are low.

You don't have to win. Manny doesn't have to win

if he gets the job, he's just got to draft.

They got to draft and develop the kids and then

four or five years hopefully they're a really good hockey club.

Speaker 3: Okay, So meanwhile, so we wait on that with Manny

one there's no So if it isn't just actually one

more thing, Okay, if it's not many Mahultra and not

David Carl, who else could it be? David Carl from

the University of Denver.

Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's they got to always have plan B

and C and D. Donnie Woodcraft. Woodcroft's the name I

I think makes a lot of sense. And they talked

to him before they hired Adam Foot and would Woodcroft

wouldn't cost a ton, he'd take the job head coach again.

Speaker 3: K Woodcraft now coach now with the Anaheim Ducks under

Joe Quenville. I'm sure.

Speaker 1: And again you know that people hate when I say it,

but economics player reason. We know they didn't pay a

ton for the GM job. Why would they hate when

you say it, because people are the economics economics, Well, Donnie,

I didn't do great math, but I do know one thing.

This owner is playing paying Rutherford, Alvin and Foot not

to work for him next year. That kind of has

a rippling effect. You can't sit there and get a

four or five million dollar coach when you're paying and

and who's to blame for that? There's no reason to

who's to blame. I think if you were, who's to

blame for Rutherford, Alvin and foot making money? Next, Michael Doyle, Well,

don't go there, the hot dog guy.

Speaker 3: We haven't. I didn't say that, you do. Well, yeah, yeah, anyways, Okay,

anything else with the Canucks, that's it. We can relate

to a lot of what's going on in the hockey

world to the Canucks, and we'll do that as the

show goes on. Stanley Cup Playoffs last night, Colorado Avalanche,

I don't care. I know, I know. Cal mccarr is

not one hundred percent. Nathan McKinnon gets hurt yesterday. You

don't blow a three nothing lead in the playoffs with

your season on the lines, and they blew a third

period lead at home in Game two. They're now down

three to nothing. And when you talk about coaches and

coaches who may be available to the Leaves, to the Canucks,

whomever the Kings, does Bruce Cassidy's stock go down given

what's happened with John Tortorella and the Vegas Golden Knights.

Three point looks like he was a problem in Vegas.

And yet you know last week had teams going in

You got to get Bruce Cassidy or he's the next

you know, he's the next you know, hot commodity on

the coaching market. But look at what I'm sorry, what

John Tortreola is doing. It's very, very impressive. He gets

hired with eight games left. It seems like a temporary solution.

They're probably not gonna, you know, go farm in the playoffs.

They'll win away from getting to the Stanley Cup final.

It's been really, really impressive. And I just wonder what

it does to Bruce Cassidy stock because as successful as

he's been, the word is that he just wears on

players Boston, same thing, right to the point where they

tune them out, they can't perform as well as they should.

And Tourrets, you know, you talk about a hard ask coach.

Of all people, he comes along and look look where

they are because nobody thought to themselves, oh they know

what they're doing. In this case anyway, Vegas knows what

they're doing. Torrets will lead them on a big Stanley

Cup drive. But he's done that. It's pretty impressive.

Speaker 1: He is eighteen and four John Tortrella since he took

off overall, Yeah, eight games left in the regular season

and the playoffs eighteen in four for Vegas. You mentioned

the Stanley Cup that would be their third trip to

the Cup finals in nine years, And I just sit

back and you and I go back to the seventies

and fifty plus years of mostly misery with this team

and the Yeah Canucks and these guys, Donnie, third trip

to the Cup final in nine years?

Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1: Like, I mean, unbelievable, unbelievable what they've done in a

short period of time an expansion team.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just surprised to Colorado of blowing those leads.

And I love the way the NHL is right right now.

I love that because you know, I remember very well

we all do. Everybody out in television and podcast land

remembers the dead Pop era where you know, teams would

get a one nothing lead, forget three nothing lead, and

the chances of a comeback were nil. I love that

the NHL is like this now, where you can't come

back in the playoffs at the most important time of

the year. It's much more difficult to lock down given

the new rules and just the just the overall approach

to the game and the skill involved. But having said that,

with your season on the line, and it was on

the line. They're not going to come back from US

three nothing, seriously deficit, You're up three to nothing with

your season on the line. That that shouldn't happen. And

yet I know Vegas has been good at that sort

of thing this spring, but it just it just should

not happen, especially given what happened in Game two when

they had the one goal lead in the third period

at home and they blew it. It just it just

shouldn't happen.

Speaker 1: I don't like the hurdle goal. Donny and Wedgwood gave

up four shots on eighteen rad here, rad here, that's

got to be stopped. He's given up. He gave up

four goals on eighteen shots last.

Speaker 3: Night and they were out shot last night, and nobody

would have guessed. And again this was I'm gonna go

old man here. This was an Oakland Raider like signing

for the Vegas Golden Knights. Carter Hart has been really good.

I mean, he is up there with Mitch Marner as

wouldn't this be something as a Consmyth Trophy candidate. He's

been so much better than the opposing goaltenders that have

faced the Golden Knights was not his league.

Speaker 1: Do you know that Vegas has got a goalie making

six point two million on the bench, Ayden Hill?

Speaker 3: Yeah, and won a Stanley Cup from Coup.

Speaker 1: Colorado's got a goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood five point two sitting

on the bench. Like, what's going on with the goaltending

in the final four? All the guys making one or

two million, but we go with the guy who's hotter. Well,

I can't, but you shouldn't be paying five six million

for guys to sit on there. What are you going

to do? Starting?

Speaker 3: Why did you get make more money? No? Don why

did you give him five six million in the first place?

To be a starter? This just in Rick, and you

should know this living in Vancouver. Teams executives make mistakes. Yeah, wow,

But Carter Hart risky risky signing And for you kids

out there, the Oakland Raiders HiT's out there back back

back in the day. We're known for taking on, you know, badasses,

and they'd ended up winning winning Super Bowls and nobody

wanted those those types of players. They signed them and

went on to bigger and better things. But you know,

nobody would have guessed this with Carter Hurt. I know

there's a whole lot of layers to that story, but

Vegas takes chances like nobody else has in a long

long time with players, excuse me, has an approach that

I don't like. They don't the opposite of rebuilding. But

look where they are. Oh?

Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely? And do you think Colorado they had to

play Dallas and Minnesota in Round one? Vegas had an

easier trip, Donnie, to the Final four. They only had

to play a Utah and Anaheim. I wonder if that's

a factor too. The number one team in the NHL

should not have to play two top teams to get

to the Western Final. You know, I don't think they're

happy with that, but it is what it is.

Speaker 3: But Colorado dusted their opponents pretty quickly, like, for instance,

Minnesota was five games. I get that, But Donny, you

think Minnesota was an easy out? I mean, it wasn't.

You're playing one of the top teams in the NHL, Dallas,

right after they played Los Angeles in the first round.

Your theory is getting blown out blown up here.

Speaker 1: It's not so you think they like playing Dallas in

Minnesota and rounds one and two. No, it took a

lot out of them. Who they playing Round one? Who?

Speaker 6: La?

Speaker 3: Who did Colorado?

Speaker 1: Oh? Sorry, yeah, I got mixed up there. I was

talking about Minnesota having to play Dallas. It's why are

the top teams playing and out in the first two rounds?

Speaker 3: It was my point. That's what my point was. Anyways,

that was the worst exactly half dancing every Monday.

Speaker 1: It's Monday. It's Monday. It's Monday.

Speaker 3: Tough division though, That's what I mean. Going back to

the start of the top.

Speaker 1: Teams are in the same division and they're all going

to be out before the Stanley Cup Finals.

Speaker 3: It's wrong and people have predicted that. Yes, Okay, here's

what's coming up on the show. Hope you had a

great weekend. By the way, folks, DTMZ is it just

Conference Final, blowing that three nothing lead Sunday and losing

five to three to the Golden Knights. Jesse Montana from

Grolla Sports covers the Colorado Avalanche and Jesse joins us. Now,

thanks for doing this, sir. How are you.

Speaker 1: Hey?

Speaker 5: I'm doing all right. You know, I'm doing better than

I was when I had to walk into that AVS

room last night. So no complaints here.

Speaker 3: Yeah, but they didn't make Nathan McKinnon available, did they,

because he he'd be frightening to talk to that in

that situation, I'd imagine, Yeah, yeah, No.

Speaker 5: He he was dealing with that injury after the game

last night, so he wasn't in the room by the

time we got in there. You know, he took that

puck off the knee, it looked like, and struggled to

finish the game. Yeah, no, I mean, look it was.

It was a stunned room last night. Like that's that's

really the only way that I can that I can

put it. I made the comment to someone, you know,

this morning, like I almost wish we could have waited

twenty thirty minutes before we went in because the guys

just like they seemed like they had fully wrapped their

head around not only what happened in the game, but

just how they ended up in this situation in this series,

down three nothing it was.

Speaker 1: I mean it was, it was.

Speaker 5: It was a pretty stunning night last night, no no

doubt about it.

Speaker 3: Yeah, and there was the one nothing lead at home

in the third period. And get to so who's getting

the blame Jesse in Colorado amongst fans anyway, and people

like yourself.

Speaker 5: You know, it's it's it's funny because I going through,

you know, my social media replies and what you reading

what people are saying. I think there's a lot of

blame to go around here, Like I don't think there's

any one person. I don't think you're looking at Jared Bednar.

I don't think you're looking at the goldtending. I don't

think you're looking at any one thing and saying that's

where it is. This is just not been anywhere near

the standard that that we've seen for the Abs all season.

This hasn't been anywhere near the compete level. The effort,

the the ability to shut things down just so much

has gone awry. I do think that there's an underlying

issue of some injuries, guys that are playing through a

lot that you know, we'll maybe find out about here,

you know, at the end of this series. But that

does not change the fact that, you know, just not

hard enough on pucks, not winning enough fifty to fifty battles,

you know, things like that. It's just little details that

that Vegas is just doing better all over the ice

right now. Yeah, maybe the Abs are dealing with some injuries.

Maybe cal mccarr isn't it at one hundred percent, you know,

maybe ur Terry Leknan isn't one hundred percent. But but

there are there are some team wide issues here that

I think these guys are even having a hard time explaining.

So I don't think it's any one person. I think

everyone's I think everyone's catching some blame here.

Speaker 1: When they went up three nothing, I said to myself,

there's no way they're blowing that lead, not this hockey club.

There's no way, and it happened. I was really surprised

they'd will blow a three goal lead.

Speaker 5: Look, the hallmark of this team go back to the

twenty twenty two Stanley Cup Final. Even in that in

that game six where they won the Cup against Tampa,

they had a one goal lead heading into the third

and it never once felt in jeopardy. That has been

the identity of this core for more than five years,

and we saw it time and time and time again

this season. They take a lead and they don't give

it up. So not only was it honestly even a

little shocking to see them give up the one goal

lead a few nights and go back in Denver, I'm

with you, like they went up three to nothing, and

I said, okay, the maturity of this group, the skill level, obviously,

the experience. I said, this is where they're gonna clamp

it down. I said, we're gonna end up with like

a five to six to one final here tonight. And

then it felt like Vegas scored their their first goal,

and you just felt it in the energy, in the apps,

body language looks on their faces of like, oh no,

here we go again, and I'm with you. I didn't

see it coming. And like I said, based on their

reactions after the game, I don't think they had an

explanation for how that happened.

Speaker 1: Do you think if they get swept, like, could it

be possible Jared Benner could be in trouble because you

got a guy right there in Denver who everybody loves,

David carl As well.

Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I think it could be possible if they

get swept. I think you can have that conversation. You

can sell me on having that conversation. Here's where I

think it is.

Speaker 3: Though.

Speaker 5: I think let's say it is right. Let's say they

get swept tomorrow and that's it. I still don't think

that's it for Jared Bednar. He's really well respected in

this organization. The players absolutely love him. Him and Nathan

McKinnon have a great relationship. I don't think that they

would do it. Yeah, I don't think they'd make an

emotional decision, but I do think it would be one

of those things where you'd kind of settle into a like, well,

you better not start four and six next year, you

know what I mean. I think that seat will be

pretty warm at the start of next year. And here's

my only hesitation with Carl. Who's a great coach, you know,

one of the hot commodities right now. He's he's so young,

he's a real up and coming coach. I just don't

know if you can turn over the keys of Nathan

McKinnon and his prime, Cal mccarr and his prime, you know,

Martin net just coming into his prime.

Speaker 3: I just don't know if, if as good of a coach.

Speaker 5: As David Carl is, if you can give him the

key to that and expect him to be able to

manage the emotions and the way that Nathan McKinnon is

as a player, you know, Cale mccarr, the way that

he's so in tune with you know, his body, the

way he plays like. I think that's part of this

core here is Jared Bednar in his relationship with them.

So I do think Carl is probably the next guy

on the on the list for the abs, if and

when they choose to do that. But I still think

even if they were to lose tomorrow and be out

in four games. I still don't think that they would

move on from Jared Bednar right now, but you know,

look anything as possible. I think if you get swept,

you're gonna have to look at all kinds of options.

Speaker 3: David carl wouldn't be much older than a lot of

his players. All right, Documentano, do you have any updates

health wise? And mccarr and McKinnon, No, not yet.

Speaker 5: You know, we're actually gonna hear from Jared here in

about five minutes, so I'm assuming that we're going to

get an update on on Nate. That didn't look good

to me. Nathan McKinnon is a tough, tough guy. He

has played through some injuries, and he plays well through injuries.

The fact that he couldn't move he got that puck,

I believe it was. It was in the third period,

right after he came back. He got the puck in

the neutral zone, and you could tell he tried to

like get on his horse a bit and he just couldn't.

Speaker 1: It just wasn't there.

Speaker 5: He struggled to move. There's a part of me that's

almost expecting that they're gonna come in and say Nate's

done for you know, at least this series. Even if

it were to go seven and call mccarr looked like he,

I would say he's probably at about seventy five percent.

The unfortunate part is that twenty five percent is his

shooting ability, and that's a big twenty five percent. So

and like I said, I think Archeriy Lecnon is probably

closer to sixty or seventy percent. Sam Malensky, Yeah, same thing.

Close to seventy seventy five percent. That's not your whole team, right,

Like you've got you've got, You've got twenty guys for

a reason. But those are some some prominent, you know,

players for them, and I think that, Look, the Abs

have been pretty lucky with the injury bug all year,

and it seems like maybe there's a level of this

that it is catching up with them at the worst

possible time.

Speaker 3: And Jesse, you know, you got to get going to

the oppressor with Bednar. But very very quickly are people

in Denver drawing comparisons between the Avs and the Nuggets

who were ousted in Round one by the six seed Timberwolves.

Speaker 5: Oh yeah, And and what was so disappointing about that

for the Nuggets was it felt like, again they just

kind of there was no pushback, there was no fight,

They just kind of folded. I'm not saying that there

isn't pushback here, that this AVS team isn't emotionally and

mentally and age, but again, the play has just been

so different. It's been such a divergency from what we

saw all season. People are definitely starting to draw those

parallels of like what happened here. You had two teams

that you felt were, you know, championship contenders in the

Nuggets and Abs, and they both have just kind of,

you know, fizzle here when when the intensity really turned up.

And like I said, I just can't underscore this enough.

We didn't see any signs that this ABS team would

would have that happen to them throughout the regular season

or even through these first two round of the playoffs.

It's it's truly been a stunning last five six days

where it felt like at the start of this it's

like they're invincible, they can beat anybody, and now in

less than a week you're on the verge.

Speaker 3: We'll talk to Jared Bednar. Thanks for this, Jesse, appreciate it.

Always love it. Boys. We'll talk to you guys. Soon

see Jesse Montano from Gorilla Sports. He covers the Colorado

Avalanche next game in that series, the Golden Knights could

complete their sweape tomorrow in in Vegas. Up up three nothing.

Speaker 1: Well, let's give biggest credit Toude. Well, you keep talking

about Colorado. Another point, you know, I mean they're getting

the goaltending from Carter Heart. They lead in points, goals, assists,

and hits the top three hitters in the NHL playoffs,

Vegas Golden Knights. Big teams that hit will go far

in the playoffs.

Speaker 3: Okay, the Night's success will be a part of the

focus of our pole question on wadling dog pole question.

We'll introduce it to next and a reminder that tonight

also Hurricanes and has continue the series tied at one.

Nick Heelers with that overtime winning goal in Game two.

And you know what I think of every time I

see Nick Killers do something special again, I go back

a bit twenty fourteen. They were talking the conducts were

talking about taking Nick Heelers or Neelander, and they ended

up with Jake vertannan sixth overall.

Speaker 1: Yep, yep, thanks for bringing up the memories.

Speaker 3: No problem. Wadling dog Pole question will introduce it next

at the Waddling Dog Today it's a Waddling Dog of Pole. Question.

Connections to the Vancouver Canucks ye given two teams still

alive in the Stanley Cup playoffs Wrick.

Speaker 1: All right, Ryan, get her up the waddling dog up

poll question, which teams approach represents the best model long

term for the Canucks' success. Look at this Montreal's rebuild

eighty nine percent, a wopping eighty nine percent, and Vegas

win now style only at eleven.

Speaker 3: Uh.

Speaker 1: But you mentioned this morning, Vegas has got one draft

pick in their lineup, one.

Speaker 3: Of their one of their own draft picks, and it's

the third rounder, Paveldafaiett.

Speaker 1: And they got no first rounders. Don they just trade

their first rounders, trade their first rounders. Everyone they've got

that is of significant value for Vegas was either obtained

in a trade or July first.

Speaker 3: Iichel Mark, other people's first rounders.

Speaker 1: Exactly, Ichel, Marner, Hurdlestone, Petro, Angelo, Hannafin, Anderson. They get guys,

they get they make bold moves, they make trades, and

they go get guys on July first. It is just

an organization that does not believe in building through the

draft at all.

Speaker 3: And look at the success they had. You mentioned it

in our first segment. You know three Stanley Cup find Well,

it looks like it's going to be three Stanley Cup

Final appearances since their inception back in twenty seventeen twenty eighteen.

On top of that, and you look ahead to Vegas

and you wonder where this is going with this franchise.

But just one pick in the first two rounds over

the next three drafts, and that's a first rounder in

twenty twenty eight keeping in mind and if they appealed

yet I'm not really sure. I think they lost the appeal,

but they also had that a second rounder and taking

this year strip because of John Toroderella not making himself

available to the media earlier in the playoffs. But it's

an approach that I hate. I've gone on record and

say that the way to you know, you have success

on the National Hockey League seems to be by and

large rebuilt. Do what the Montreal Canadians are doing. Yeah,

stockpiled draft picks, make trades for young player, the odd

veteran here and there, and look look where they are

right now. I know it doesn't always work. And the

approach that I don't like and a lot of people like,

is don't just win now, quick fix. It's working for

the Vegas Golden Knights. And then look it all started.

The foundation was laid with what they did at the

expansion draft, what they were allowed to do at the

expansion draft back in twenty seventeen. That laid the foundation

and the expectations and on they went from there. I

you know, yeah, you have to admire them. They're so bold.

Speaker 1: Absolutely one hundred percent in Kelly McCrimmon, who did a

great job in brand Buddy Brandon of the Western Hockey

League for so many years. How can you dispute anything

Kelly's done in Vegas. Meanwhile, the Habs, Coffield, Demidov, Slavskovsky, Hudson,

they've done everything through the draft that the one key

piece they got was Suzuki from Vegas in the trade,

but everyone else, all their signature pieces are first round picks.

Hudson went the second route, but and Doabbish the goalie draft.

Speaker 3: And fifth rounder.

Speaker 1: That's what the Canucks got to do.

Speaker 3: Yeah, they got to hang on to them and develop

them properly and be patient. That's more realistic for the

Canucks right now. It will be interesting, uh, if Vegas

and Montreal end up in the Stanley Cup Final, what

Nick Suzuki might do versus the Vegas Golden Knights. That

was a mistake.

Speaker 1: Oh, big time.

Speaker 3: Max Patch readily problems and yeah, uh, you know, performed

well to start for Vegas and then went downhill from there.

But I mean Suzuki was drafted in the very first draft,

if I'm not mistake. Yes, their first Vegas is very

very first draft, and you know they wanted to win

right away, and and sure enough they have missed the

playoffs once. I believe Rick, that's it.

Speaker 1: Canucks have no choice but to build through the draft

and develop. I'm sorry they can't do what Vegas is

doing right now. First of all, nobody wants to come

to Vancouver. They were trying to, Donny. Nobody wants to

come to Vancouver on July first, So right off the bat,

they're gonna have problems there and that's going to be

a big issue. By the way, right now, the Canucks

are thirty second.

Speaker 3: Normal, it's not a big issue that don don don

it's a big issue. Well, is it a big issue? What?

I don't want UFAs to come. I'm just telling I'm

a Canuck fan. You have that's a good thing, Okay, Well,

you have young players. The top UFAs do not want

to come to Vancouver. They're in thirty seconds. Sure, but

if they start winning consistently, then teams players will want

to come back. Some days they show, if they show

any resemblance of a franchise that knows what it's doing,

which has him in the case the past zero, you

will see players want to come You Dan Hamius back

back in the day, I know he's from ABC, but

he probably wouldn't have considered it had they not shown

that they were successful and were well run.

Speaker 4: Who's the top UFA this year? Well, Charnie Coley was

just taking on, well, who is it?

Speaker 3: Who is it? You talking? No, I don't know, Alex

talk Alex Tuck.

Speaker 1: Then we keep saying this Alex tucks fiance is from

White Rock. But I don't think that's gonna make a difference.

Speaker 4: But it's no like a class that's like I think honestly,

I think free agency is dying.

Speaker 1: I think with the cap going up, well.

Speaker 4: And also just teams keeping all their guys.

Speaker 3: Because the caps going up, it's a full circle thing.

Speaker 1: I just don't. I just don't.

Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be unless you're paying a defenseman

to you know, play well with the Leafs and Panthers.

Oh yeah, there you go, Yeah, I just don't.

Speaker 4: I think you're gonna add depth pieces, but some rock

star hitting, like truly hitting free agency, I don't.

Speaker 3: I don't see that in Vancouver.

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's and Darren Radish Dart big buck, He's

gonna make a big buck, big time. Be careful with them.

Speaker 3: You want to be a power play guy, a big,

big shot, big shot Toronto guy too, and you know,

also plays with a pretty good hockey team. No, Francesco,

if you're listening out there.

Speaker 4: Well, this thing, this would be the free agency Ryan,

that would worry the hell out of me in years

past with the Canucks, Okay, because the guys aren't that good,

but they feel like they needed to add somebody until yeah,

and they'd overpay for the Beagles and the.

Speaker 3: It hasn't worked, and it hasn't worked. Try a different approach, Vegas.

It's a one off. It's an anomaly. Much wrong is

the way to go, Buffalo, Ana, Ryan.

Speaker 1: The Canucks are not going to get spend eight million

on a player. They can get toughness. There is good

toughness on July first, and this team can use it.

In Minnesota. Hartman, not Hartman, that Mcarran and but his

market is going to go through the roof. I don't

see the Canucks in on that. But they can get

a guy like Brandon Dame Goney. They can get some Canadians,

get some good, tough Canadians.

Speaker 3: How about how about keeping Curtis Douglas. Get him to

Bruno del Maestro all right, or Karen Costs here in Vancouver,

prove his skating somebody like that. But wake the building up.

Speaker 1: Your tough spark, Henny, your tough guy's got to play everything. Yeah,

he's got to be on the fourth line. He's got

to give you minutes in the third period if you're

gonna dress the fourth line guy, not play him in

the third period.

Speaker 3: I just said he's got he's got the point. He's

got to. Unlike others on the Canucks, I'm gonna guess

that Curtis Douglas is willing to work hard in there.

Speaker 1: He's a great guy. He's a Canadian, but a great

story and everything. But he didn't, I don't know he didn't.

Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, I agree, but he's

making an impact. I mean, what we're talking about, like

a player like that.

Speaker 1: Yeah, well, McCarran, I mean that about what I'm hearing

on mccarran's money. It's going to get crazy, of course,

and I'm gonna there's gonna be a ton of teams

in on McCarran, and McCarran going to the thirty second

place team probably not high on his list.

Speaker 3: So are the Hanson brothers available? Oh?

Speaker 1: Ryan doesn't know who you're talking about because he never

watched Slapshot. Yeah, I did watch.

Speaker 3: You laughed at that, and yet you never saw the movie.

Speaker 1: I've seen the movie.

Speaker 3: I just haven't. I just haven't shot bits and pieces

I've seen. I've seen the majority of the movie. Okay,

so you got to give up the.

Speaker 1: I've seen Slapshot over ten times. I know because you

watched on the bus. We watched it on the bus

over the Pine Pass going to Prince George back in

the nineties, way up North, way up north, when Donnie

and I were paying our dues. Do you want the

update by the way on McKay.

Speaker 3: Yes, we asked our previous guest about the update on

health update on McKinnon and mccar He was going into

the press conference with Jared a bed Number and Jesse Montano.

Jesse Montano he was there escaping.

Speaker 4: This is from Mark Lazarus of the Athletic He's also

there also good name Bednard. No updates on McKinnon or value.

Says they'll plan for all scenarios. The other thing with Bennard,

by the way, did you see his comments last night

talking about how low morale was, well, Lois it could be.

Speaker 3: I agree, and I heard them talking about this on

six fifty today. Whenever you saw shots of the bench,

because they were showing a lot of them near the

end of the game because of Yeah, like how him

going down the tunnel, him on the bench testing out

is is like zero energy, like like nothing your seasons,

it's like.

Speaker 1: They're already defeated, like they're ready to just go home.

Speaker 3: And at that point they're down to nothing right there

han't yet so you expect them to be throwing parties

down for three. Rick. You have to have the bench

during the game.

Speaker 1: You have to have socking after the game.

Speaker 3: Rick is anti energy? Anybody an energy? Did you talk.

Speaker 4: About this having a guy like Curtis Douglas, you as

need that guy there down three nothing.

Speaker 3: But on the bench down a goal he said in

game three, which wasn't over after the game, he said,

morale is low after the game because I'm sure he

walked into the dress room and everyone's got their head down.

But I I why why wouldn't it be after the

game he was he was off today. I'm not off.

Speaker 1: I saw the comments. I got comments. I heard broffin

rough this morning. But listen and it was Eric Angels,

who's swing a party down three nothing?

Speaker 3: But we're talking about on the bench though, wreck you

you know what. I was also like that during their series,

that first round series they played against Dallas.

Speaker 1: Stop just stop, like Brent Burns somebody's gotta go.

Speaker 3: Come on, guys. I look at it like like I that,

you know what. I'm not gonna sit here and pretend

that I'm a big Colorado Avalanche fan or maybe a

Quebec Rnique fan back in the day. But I'd like

to see Brent burnsley cup. Yeah, yeah, warrior.

Speaker 1: He's a great He's had a long talk about longevity.

Speaker 3: He's had a great career.

Speaker 4: Imagine seeing him in the back alley, frightening U. The

way he looks with that backpack. He's got to he's

got a beard. He's a menacing The first guy you've

seen with a beard, heat teeth or lack of lack

of Yeah, menacing figure.

Speaker 3: Looks like a hockey player. Yeah, it looks like something

from stop Shot. Yeah, yeah, what you haven't seen. Elliott

Speaker 3: He had a leak or something, no plumbing issue in

his house. He had to take a leak.

Speaker 1: No, no, I didn't, says in his pipes burst water

came out.

Speaker 3: He missed the first the segment is supposed to be on.

He missed, was on the the and he was apologetic.

I wasn't buying it though, and we let him. He

Speaker 4: I have no idea for a lighting system. I have

no idea some kind of filter.

have like a folding table, you want to hide the legs.

top of the hour, Big Rye, next Donnie and delight

the team on check. Just ahead of Big Rye the

Twitter guy. This is in our Bayside oceanfront resort in

Parksville inbox unsigned. Please sign those texts and emails, folks,

you want to give you a credit. But this is

a good point. We didn't talk about this. Vegas is

doing all of this without Alex Petro Angelo Bingo. So

we talk about the avalanche injuries, Vegas also missing one

of its key components and learns what's going to happen

with the with his career and Neil. The other thing

with him is he would have been on Team Canada

if he was if he was healthy, and Lord knows

what that meant. Big Ryan.

Speaker 4: You know what's crazy is how like they're ruthless with

the people they've brought in. They're also ruthless with the

people they've let go, Like since that championship, key pieces

of it, like Marcius So they let him walk to.

Speaker 3: Nashville constant my trophy learner, Riley Smith, William Carlson's favorite player.

Speaker 4: Yeah, who scored last night? Riley Smith. They part ways

with him, they brought him back. He's back in the fold.

Now was it this trade deadline? I think it was

this trade then maybe last week kay.

Speaker 3: Marchso won was really quick like yeah, given what.

Speaker 1: He did, you know, very and somebody that was a

term money thing though, But I mean it's not still

it's still ruthless. It's still that they don't hesitate.

Speaker 3: And what do we always say, who do we look

up to when it comes to people in charge of

sports organizations who have no problem get rid of loyal soldiers?

Who do we look at? He was like like wow,

like didn't seem to fit his personality, but he had

no problem letting letting go of people, and the Lions

had a really pc Lions had a really successful run

with him. And since then, maybe people have talked about

Walling knows a lot about hockey, get him to run

the Canucks. By the way, the Lions lost their preseason hop. Yeah,

Saturday and Lankford.

Speaker 4: Wally'son, missus. That guy that posted next to Rick, he

let go too early, g Roy.

Speaker 3: Simon, you know any but not many. You're right.

Speaker 1: He was ahead of the game, ahead of the curve all.

Speaker 3: Dickermon. Yeah.

Speaker 1: Every guy he brought from Calgary, he cut. Wally says,

times up, times up? Yeah, okay.

Speaker 3: Was he's out of a job?

Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 4: Yesterday Baseball Toronto, the Jays and the Pirates. Uh, this

is amazing. This clip was going viral yesterday as Merlin

Valdez first career home run as Merlin. You see here

this this boy in the green hoodie. He catches the ball,

first career hit, first career home run. Pirates.

Speaker 3: You see the kid on the right.

Speaker 4: He's on the phone negotiating with members of the Pirates

in the bullpen. They signal they want to sign bat,

sign ball. This member of the Pirates staff is trying

to get it, I think so. Then you see Valdez

signing the bat. The bat gets run out to the kid,

a hat, couple other baseballs, all to negotiate to get

the home run ball back. He apparently said he was

originally and this is very smart of him, he told

the bullpen he was going to keep it.

Speaker 3: So he originally said, I'm going to keep the baseball.

Good for him.

Speaker 4: So they decide to work some things out. Now, look

at I'm hoping he got something signed by Paul Skeens

as well. No disrespect anybody, but Paul Skeins. He's a

phenale and he's on that roster. He pinched who's I

don't know if he was on the phone with his

dad maybe or something. I don't know, but he he

was on the phone with somebody clearotiating, negotiating, talking about

what he should be.

Speaker 3: Getting for this baseball. And so they worked out a

deal and bad Yeah autograph, Yeah.

Speaker 1: Just outstanding watching this happen, and real thing.

Speaker 3: Go through my mind here is people who are anti baseball.

These players have the time, a time on their head,

happens to do this. That's kind of awesome. Absolutely, it

only happened to this. We went to spring training, Mariners

spring training down in the Phoenix area, and my kids

were all over the players, and the players were engaged

with our kids. Yeah, we have a bunch of families

and there was like eight kids there and they were

all talking to the players mid game. They're trying to

make a ball team.

Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm also glad that there was a kid

that got in, not one of these stupid adults that's

throwing the kids out of the way to get these baseballs.

This trend that's going on, foul balls, guys taking it

away from kids.

Speaker 3: If you take it away from a kid, that's one thing.

If you beat a kid to a race to the ball,

and there's always the thought that you have to give

the kid, the kid the ball. You don't know that

person's situation. No, they've always had it for your image.

Definitely better to get. Maybe you've got a nephew, who's

who's they don't care? Okay, okay, first, okay, don't go back.

Speaker 1: So then who's the bad guy in that case it'd

be you, Like you can go Seinfeld become an NHL agent,

book it what negotiating?

Speaker 3: Oh okay? Yeah?

Speaker 4: Yeah, Pirates win for one by the Baniel Rolodex beating

the Jays and Jay's injury problems again Vladi, Yeah, Dylan Cees.

Speaker 3: Well, Laddie looks like for a second, I thought he

broke his arm.

Speaker 4: Yeah, with that pitch. X rays were negative, which is

a good thing. By the way, again another Seinfeld.

Speaker 3: Wasn't good yesterday, No one. He left me with this.

Speaker 4: He left with a hamstring injury or something like that.

Jay's twenty five, twenty eight so far on the season,

so it's still early.

Speaker 3: Still they'd lead the lots of MLB and strange delivery.

Speaker 1: Oh big time, yeah Rogers, Yeah.

Speaker 3: I'll be big disease you savage.

Speaker 1: Yeah, totally fun to watch though.

Speaker 4: Yeah, they're dealing with a bit of a hangover in

the injury seeing things happening down the I five with

the Mariners. They they just slug his slow start injuries.

Rally's out with the Mariners. So anyway, that went viral yesterday. Okay,

I want to get to Elliott because he is very busy.

Speaker 3: Man.

Speaker 4: Don't want to keep him waiting. So Elliott is next

from hocking it in Canada and thirty two thoughts Elliott Friedman, Elliott,

thanks for doing this sir? How are you my pleasure?

Speaker 9: How are you guys doing you?

Speaker 3: Are you back hobing? You've been traveling? You were down

in a.

Speaker 4: There you go.

Speaker 9: I'm not gonna say which hotel, but I'm in the hotel.

Keep those I don't want, like all two people I

was going to see.

Speaker 3: It, Keep those stockers stockers away. If there's two of them,

that's that's fine. That's two more than Rick and I have. Okay,

So what was the atmosphere like in Raleigh? It looked

pretty special.

Speaker 9: You know what it's It's it's loud there, like it's

a it's a really loud arena. I'll say this. After

the first game where they lost, they were that one

in sixteen record. After that game in the Eastern Conference Final,

it wears on those fans. As they went to overtime

in game number two, there was a fan who walked

by me and he goes PTSD and I'm like really,

he goes, oh yeah, and he was worried they were

going to lose. And then when they scored an overtime

it's like, no more PTSD, no more PTSD. But that

one in sixteen record hung over these guys, even though

they were eight to zero in the playoffs before that game,

they didn't care. They were worried about that Eastern Conference curse.

But it was loud, it was fun, and it'll be

excellent here tonight in Montreal.

Speaker 3: Yeah, the record going back all the way to twenty nineteen,

but still a sting. Getting that overtime goal was Nick Eelers.

You got two goals in that game, including the overtime

winner might be obvious, but he comes over as a

as a significant free agent signing. What is he added

to this team?

Speaker 9: Well, he added exactly what they needed, like it would

be at this time of the year Donald, they couldn't

score right, and he scored a couple of goals, a

couple of big ones. It was funny. I had a

chance to talk to him for a couple of minutes

this morning, and someone had told me that one of

the reasons he left Winnipeg for Carolina's he thought the

travel would be easier in the Eastern Conference in the West.

And he said basically said, whoever your source was for that,

don't listen to them. He actually said the travel is

also tough in Carolina because in Winnipeg you would be

home for nine days and then you'd be away for

nine days. In Carolina you kind of come home and

then go away, and come home and then go away.

So but you know, one of the things he told

me that was pretty interesting was it wasn't the reason,

like the biggest reason is he liked Carolina as a

team and they were a good team, but he liked

the idea of playing with a fellow Danish player. They're

starting goalie Freddie Anderson, and he said that was one

of the reasons he was interested in Carolina is he

never really had that before and he wanted a chance

to play with a fellow Dane in the NHL, and

Anderson was one of the reasons he went there. But

he can score, and that's why Carolina really struggled at

this point in the playoffs. And he's sure scored in

Game two.

Speaker 1: All right, Elliott, we know you're on top of things

and what's going on in Vancouver twenty four to seven.

What are you hearing on Manny Mahultra as the new

coach of the Canucks.

Speaker 9: Well, first of all, I don't know if that's true.

You shouldn't false advertised. A second thing, like, I think

they're working through it right now. I think they're they're

talking to him. As I said on the pod on Friday,

I think we'll know in the next few days. I

still think there's a chance we know in the next

few days. I think they're working through it with them.

I have no doubt they're negotiating with them. I know

that negotiations have been a very big story in the

Vancouver area, but I think that's what they're doing right now.

I'm just I think they're negotiating with them and they're

they're trying to see if they can close it.

Speaker 1: Yeah, you saw him in Toronto. He was an assistant coach,

then he went and won the Calder Cup. You think

he's ready, Elliott?

Speaker 9: I do.

Speaker 3: You know?

Speaker 9: I think the one thing I really believe Rick is

that age is just a number. And John Tordrell is

proving that again right now, right like you know he's

I don't think age matters. I think it's your willingness

to adapt to situations. I think it's your willingness to

command respect. And your players will buy into what you're selling.

Number one. I think if you win a championship at

any level, including the American Hockey League, your players will

buy into what you're selling. You know, one of the

reasons I think that Canucks chose Ryan Johnson over Evan

Gold was the Sedines familiarity with Ryan Johnson. Well, who

are they really familiar with? They're really familiar with Manny

mel Hotre, And you know, I think we can all

guess as to whether or not someone's ready and never

know until they get the opportunity. I think he's ready

for the opportunity. He commands a ton of respect. He

knows hockey. And I think the other thing too is

I think you're getting to a point, Rick, where the

Vancouver canc to decide do we want many my hootes

with the coach us or do we want to coach

somewhere else? And I think they preferred to coach you guys.

Speaker 1: Elliott, you had Henrick or Daniel one of the two

on Henrick.

Speaker 9: Don't I still can't tell them a part.

Speaker 1: You talked to a ton of people around the National

Hockey League. What's the feel about these guys taking over Vancouver?

Speaker 6: You know?

Speaker 9: The number one thing and I said this to Henry

too in the interview Rick, was that nobody had ever

heard the Apolini's used the phrase rebuild before. And I

think that was the thing that really stuck out, not

only in talking to him, but in just listening to

the press conference where they were introduced, and that the

fact that they were willing to accept the rebuild, and

Hendrick said that they wouldn't have taken the job unless

that was the understanding. I think that's the thing that

stands out is that it's not so much that the

Sitines got hired, you know. I know Trevor Linden's been

making the media rounds. I know been talking to a

few people there, and everybody's well aware that Lindon pitched

the idea of a rebuild, but the ownership wasn't ready.

I think that's the thing that stood out right now

is that they've accepted that needs to happen and they're

willing to do it. And I think that's why kind

of we are where we are. And I think that's

the number one thing that people have noticed around the

league is that ownership has understood that they have to

kind of start over and they're willing to accept it

right now.

Speaker 3: I agree. I think the most significant significant moment for

the CANUCKSU over the last two weeks was right off

the bat when Francesco Aquilini came up with his written

statement and he used the word rebuilt, which just might

not have happened before. I thought that was the most

important significant moment. It was a little moment, but I

thought it was really really important. The other conference final,

Vegas over Colorado five to three. They're now up three

to nothing in that series. Surprisingly, some would say, shockingly

how much of it do you think has to do

with John Tornarella?

Speaker 9: You know what, I I think ultimately the players deserve

the most credit. But you know what, look, I think Tortorella.

You know, I was actually just on our regular show

in Toronto, don and like, the one thing I think

that's interesting is I don't know how many teams would

have gone to John Tortorella right now after the way

it ended last year in Philadelphia. How many teams do

you think would call them? And I think that Vegas

deserves a lot of credit for doing it. And I

think very clearly here Tortorella has recognized that he doesn't

need to grind them, he just needed to straighten them out.

And I think, you know, I think in Vegas that

room really runs itself. They've got a lot of really

good leaders there. And but but I think Tortorella sees

it as you know, just put your hand on the

rudder when it's necessary, straighten them out when necessary, don't

be overbearing. It's like I kind of talked, we talked

about it a bit before about how age is just

a number he's smart enough to know and the groom

and see how he needs to go here. But I

think the number one thing is they're getting saved. Like

they had the twenty eighth best save percentage don in

the regular season. It was I think it was eight

eighty four. Like, you're not winning any games with eight

eighty four. So now the goalie's got the number one

save percentage in the playoffs. That's the biggest difference to me.

Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's Carter Hard They took a big chance

on Mitch Marner leading the NHL in playoff points with

twenty one. Another couple of assists last night. How's that

going over in torontohil it.

Speaker 9: Like a lead balloon, you know, like like you know,

I'll tell you don like I like, I'm happy for him.

I'm glad that he's found some peace in a better

situation for himself. It's tough for Leef fans to watch.

A couple of times now, I've said I wish everybody

would just move on like it's over. It's not changing.

This is life, and my leaf friend buddies are like,

good luck with that. You know, I'll say this in

Toronto if it's if it's Marner versus Montreal, I'm glad

I'm not going to be in the city put it

that way, that's gonna it's not gonna be easy for

a lot of Leaf fans. But you know what, I

do think there's something to the fact that he's in

a less pressurized environment for a lot of different reasons,

not just the obvious ones. And I think also too,

like that's a really veteran room Stone Ichael William Carlson, Like,

those are a lot of guys who've seen a lot,

and they're really mature group. And I think it's I

think it's really been good for out of the Spotlight's

been really good for him, I think.

Speaker 3: Really good. And one more sticking in Toronto, Elliott, But

what's the latest on a head coach? People in Colorado

saying David Carl's going to stay there because he's looking

at the avalanche job somewhere down the line. Then there's

Bruce Cassidy. Lorden knows what his stock is like given

what Tortorella is doing these days, what's going on with

the leafs.

Speaker 9: Well, first of all, I think Bruce Cassidy's stock is

still good. But I'm not convinced Casside's gonna end up

in Toronto. I just I don't even know that the

Mapleys have asked to talk to. To be honest, Carl,

I think they're working through that, like I think they're

I think they're interested in him, and I just think

they're trying to I think everybody's trying to gauge what

the possibility is really now. I think Toronto's doing some

other interviews. I think a lot of names that you

would expect, and I think they've tried to look at

some people who might be new. But I do think

Toronto wants to make Carl at least think about them

and see if they can do that. But as as

of this morning, I had no reason to believe anything

was imminent.

Speaker 3: They're done, man, I'm telling you, I'm so jealous. You

get being able to go to that game tonight in

Montfreal Bell Center and Game three just I know, the

atmosphere and Raleigh was good.

Speaker 9: But that's it's just another the best and they've got

the good hot dog. Oh yeah, oh my gosh, I

may eat one on air tonight.

Speaker 3: I mean, we'll look forward to that and we'll look

forward to you in a couple of weeks on our show.

Speaker 9: Thanks Alick, guys, take care of speak to that.

Speaker 3: I appreciate Elliott Friedman, love that guy from Montreal. Thirty

sleep sip, stock up, All on one, legendary spot, Come

sit and stay at the Wattling Dog today, Eric Ryan

got her up.

Speaker 1: The Wattling Dog got pupulk question which team's approach represents

the best model for long term success? For the Canucks.

Look at this, so whopping eighty eight percent? Say Montreal's

rebuild Vegas win. Now that style only at twelve percent,

So there you go.

Speaker 3: I thought it would be a little closer.

Speaker 1: No, what was.

Speaker 3: Iron I can see why it's like this. What's more realistic? Well,

and they've said and Francesco Aquiline said the word rebuilt,

rebuild in four hundred years, but he said it.

Speaker 1: They don't have the assets to go and get the

icles of the world and all those guys like Vegas does.

Speaker 3: It's just so interesting because you seemingly everybody got to rebuild.

I mean, things aren't going well, but you look at

what Vegas is doing and it's sustained. They've done this

for a while, moll since twenty seventeen, and looks like

they're going to another Stanley Cup final, and lord knows

what happens after that Carolina Montreal tonight in Game three. Meanwhile,

you know, the President's Trophy has been around since nineteen

eighty six, Oilers one to that year. Just eight Stanley

Cup winners since nineteen eighty six. Amongst the teams that

have won the President's Trophy. It looks like there won't

be nine this year with the Colorado Avalanche having won

the President's Trophy. People remember the Canucks winning it in

twenty eleven and then failing to or they lost to

Boston the Stanley Cup Final, and people look back at

that edition of the Canucks under Mike Gillis and they think, well,

twenty twelve, you know, they didn't have that great of

a season. They lost to the Kings in the first round.

They won the President's Trophy that year, they did first

in the regular season amongst all National Hockey League teams.

So back to back President's Trophies and then off of

the case with President's Trophy winners like looks like the

Avalanche this year. They didn't win the Stanley Cup on

either occasions. Have you been watching the Memorial Cup?

Speaker 1: Yes, yes, sadly colonel last night lost in overtime. What

a shot that was? The winner?

Speaker 3: Liam LeFave is the was he got the overtime A

winner for Chakoudimi. That was his second goal in that game.

He is expected to be a second round draft choice.

Maybe I think he's a right handed center Rick. Maybe

he's a Kaduck.

Speaker 1: Could be Caducks have a lot of picks in round two.

Speaker 3: Fifty nine points in fifty nine games for him. Knucks

have two sixth round draft choices playing in the Memorial Cup.

Gabriel Sharrot for Kitchener. They play a big game two

undefeated teams tonight in Kolowanna. It's Kitchener against the Everett

and Parker al Coast the Port Moody Kid Local Plank

for Klona, which started out to own to right handed defensemen.

They both have yet to register a point, but the

Knucks has some representation.

Speaker 1: There reck absolutely a ton of Kannak Scouts or in

Colona right now.

Speaker 3: Yeah, there should be. Memorial Cup is so much fun

on any any given year. But when it's in a

place like Klona and you see some of the shots

there on social media, a lot of the people are

having having some fun in the great in the Great Okanagan. Okay,

do we want to show this? By the way, the

Indy five hundred yesterday just something we don't usually, you know,

talk about. We rarely talk about auto racing here, right.

Speaker 1: We did when the Molson India was here, yes, but

not anymore.

Speaker 3: Even then after not much we talk. Actually that's true.

Speaker 1: I love covering that, by the way.

Speaker 4: The Indy five hundred is on the list. Like when

people usually go like you can have one ticket to

blah blah blah. Usually the Indy five hundred is on

the list for some sportsman. Well maybe not Canadians, right,

because it's not so much, but the one in montrealogists, Well,

the Canadian ground Prix f one was that this weekend

as well. Yeah, Mercedes winning it, but yeah, I just

usually it's like Sunday at the Master's super Bowl eighty

five hundred.

Speaker 3: Usually, well, yeah, and here's something else that, like the

to finish here, we're gonna show it here, and we'll

show the whole thing. It's tremendous fifty seconds, but we'll

show that. And I wonder to the hold on a

second here, I want to show that. The announcers said,

we want to show that.

Speaker 4: So Derek rented, no, a hold on a sect here,

awful instructions for the director.

Speaker 3: Awful. No, I didn't give him any directions.

Speaker 1: We're going to show it here.

Speaker 3: We're going to show it, I said, did I say here? Yes, yeah,

I think it is. We'll save this argument for like

Unbraikable if you don't mind I'll throw another event in there,

which I don't usually Kentucky Derby. Yes, I love that. Yeah,

I watch that. It's it's always but it's so pompous

that event.

Speaker 4: That's part of hats the hats, what the drinks, the drinks,

the middul.

Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the tea and all that it does. See

it's great pictures.

Speaker 3: Straight.

Speaker 1: You don't think they drink tea. That's the Kentucky Derby.

A sweet tea, A sweet tea. Yeah with that green tea,

any tea.

Speaker 3: Green tea somewhere else. But okay, hey, okay, So if

you missed it yesterday, this was this was the closest

finish in Indy five hundred history. I thought the announcer,

I don't know his name, you thought he did a

fabulous job. Take a look. See what the sound up? Yes,

Melucas hunting hunting out to the high side, A rally

outside into the lead US A guy Rosen who's rally outside.

Speaker 1: Of the teammate through one into the short June and

too teammates battles signed by side went out front of

the Young American chase.

Speaker 3: His frost went off turtoon.

Speaker 8: David Milucas goes to defend the MSR driver is still signed.

Speaker 3: By side, told that play into and look at his hands,

and here it comes. That's oh lord. Mil Lucas is

out in front. Behind it's not over yet.

Speaker 1: It's not yet.

Speaker 3: Lucas have to defend ross run of the Vinalcona.

Speaker 1: Lucas.

Speaker 3: It's a quest. Wow. Now, wasn't that exciting? I think?

So he was. I I don't look, I'm not going

to pretend to be, you know, an expert. I know

you speed all the time on Highway one, so you're

more wow than I am. But it looked like he had.

David Milucas America looked like he had it one overtaken

by Felix Rosenquist of Sweden, the previous closest finished trivia

fans al answer Junior nineteen ninety two. He beat Canada's

Scott Goodyear by point oh four to three of a second,

beaten yesterday zero point two three three of a second

by Felix Rosenquist. Put that on your pipe.

Speaker 1: No, it's I don't really I'm not.

Speaker 4: Maybe NASCAR's Indie and F one I get those more

than NASCAR. Nascar I don't really get. But you know,

I'm not I'm not taking away from I'm not taking

away from the athletes. I think the athletes, it's ridiculous

what they put their bodies through.

Speaker 3: Moving on, Lions, we talked about it earlier. You wanted

to talk about this wreck. No, I just it's a

preseason game in Victoria. We've seen you know that, don

They got it going. They can't play at BC Place

because of the World Cup. They got things going. They

get a buy in the first week, then they got

to go to Kelowna. They started in Victoria.

Speaker 1: All I'm saying is, these guys are going to be

away from BC Place for a long time. Ryan shows

some visuals beautiful Victoria. They lost. They lost to Ryan's

piss because it wasn't on TV thirty four sixteen.

Speaker 3: They lost.

Speaker 1: I always called Langdale for some reason, lang Langford, Langford.

What's the the water holes there in Victoria? What am

I thinking?

Speaker 3: The Pacific Ocean?

Speaker 1: No, No, there's the water uh I was there once,

many many moons ago. Anyways, listen the water hole watering

What do I no, Donny, there's a place there.

Speaker 3: There's only one place that's the watering hole. That's the

wattling dog the waddling dog, the watering hole. But I'm

thinking that's what you couldn't think. I was thinking of

something else. I got it there, Derek's pointing. Literally, looked

at your right. What on the screen? What the waddling dog?

Speaker 5: What?

Speaker 3: No? No, no, no, no? The something?

Speaker 1: The holes in the Victoria I went there many decades. Well,

I'm gonna get in trouble here. What am I thinking?

I'm thinking of something you remember? I mean the boys

went there again?

Speaker 3: Just stop? That was a party there. What am I thinking?

Speaker 1: This guy says, soup potholes? There you got sup potholes.

Speaker 3: But that's not in Langford, Rick, the soup potholes.

Speaker 1: Beautiful area, beautiful area many decades ago.

Speaker 3: What are you doing in the hole? Okay?

Speaker 1: He was looking at this and look at this catch

Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3: These guys were in pre.

Speaker 1: You wanted to talk about having a rough Monday. I

still call them the eskimos.

Speaker 3: So do you tell me?

Speaker 1: Don You and I grew up at Empire Warren Moon,

Hugh Campbell, Empire Stadium and they were the eskimos.

Speaker 3: So I still potholes, potholes and suit that's where it was.

That's where it was.

Speaker 1: But anyways, look at this a beautiful catcher. They're in

pre season four guys fighting for their jobs.

Speaker 3: Well, lines weren't weren't happy with their performance.

Speaker 1: Okay, the quarterback did well, Chase Brice, Brice, he was

seven to ten seventy seven yards one touchdown.

Speaker 3: I know this stuff? Are you kidding me? But Victoria,

I wanted to say, including the soup potholes.

Speaker 1: Victoria did a great job. Is it potholes? That's according

to Johnny Victoria? Johnny and Victoria, Yes, soup potholes. That's

where we were.

Speaker 3: Potholes and anmore and p Moody. I gotta tell you know, this.

Speaker 1: Was a famous area there at the suit podoles. I

know what Johnny Victoria knows, Victoria. But anyways, how.

Speaker 3: Awful is it when you're driving and you see it

the last second you hit it all and you think

that you've just blown out like you're tired trying to

drop people to your city by saying, come and.

Speaker 1: See it's a good point.

Speaker 3: It's a good point. There must be more to it

than that, Okay, I would think. Okay, white Caps, meanwhile,

did you want to do this one too? Rick? You

guys do the White they do. They double San Diego

for two. Brian White got a couple of goals almost

and Ralph Priestill got a goal. He returns to the Lamp.

I believe he had a hamstring issue. And the situation

with him is that there's some talk that he's an offender,

that he'll end up playing for Canada at the World Cup.

Speaker 4: Well, I got an update on that for you to okay,

go for it moments ago. Because this is a bit odd.

But team Canada as their training camp underway in Charlotte,

North Carolina, head of a preseason game in Edmonton, preturnament

the highest grossing actor in history ever. She starred in

the three highest grossing films of all time. O nine's Avatar,

remember that it's a sequel in twenty twenty two, The

Way of Water. Those two movies have something in common.

Endgame at number two, first actress to peer and four

movies that have generated more than two billion globally, including

Avengers Infinity War in twenty eighteen. As of twenty twenty four,

her global box office hall told more than fourteen billion.

That's what the beat. Okay, not m putting her there,

you go, putting her as the third highest grossing actor

behind Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson. However, she was

propelled to the top spot after this December's Avatar threequel,

Fire and Ash, which has earned to this point one

point two three billion. Her films have now combined for

a fourteen point four to seven billion. I would not

have guessed that, and get this as always expected to

return for Avatar four and Avatar five. Given the success,

I guess that's no surprise. That was a cartoon.

Speaker 1: That's a cartoon.

Speaker 3: Well it's not a cartoon. No, it's the same thing

Speaker 4: By the way, I shout out to the Jap joke

reminding me that I've seen Coach Carter, which is a

sat Jackson movie.

Speaker 1: Is just me look at this.

Speaker 3: We have a new sponsor. Wee we all want to

thank that people at OPICK for jumping on board to

this show. We can't thank you enough. Is it just

being brought to you by Outdoor Power Equipment Institute of Canada.

Did you know you can recycle electric lawn and garden

equipment for free. OPIK operates a province wide network of

recycling depots to ensure old power equipment gets collected and

recycled responsibly. Listening to this, Rick, Oh and you've got

some old you know, the old pushmower is hanging around,

you might want to listen. I don't think they deal

with that, but still visit opik dot CA to get

more info. That's OPK dot C, a Outdoor Power Equipment

Institute of Canada, and again we think kat thank them enough.

Speaker 1: Thank you opick for jumping on board. We welcome you

Vegas in another Cup final. Since entering the NHL, that's

got to be the most hated team in the league

due to its manufactured success designed to appease its owner.

Thanks Colorado for crapping the bed Rob and Coquitlam coming

in hot. Just hates Vegas. Rob in Coquitlam.

Speaker 3: I should point out that David de Coveny was married

to Tia Leoni, not oh yeah, you've got ash passed away? Yeah, yeah,

sadly passed away. I think a year year, not two

years ago. Okay, what else you got? I'm a little

behind here, Well, look at this, and this is something

you and I okay right here? The NHL Ryan, the

new NHL is draft and development. Sign your good stars

before they walk into UFA status. This UFA ratish is

going to get crazy money, don't they're talking the seven

eight million. Mccarran's going to be three or four million.

Get your work done, draft and develop. This is the

submission instead of letting getting your money where you got

overpay on July first on throw those phones away July first. Oh,

if you're a GM our beautis omar? Is it just me?

The Stanley Cup Final is at risk of becoming a

disaster if the Vegas Carolina matchup does happen. Let's hope

it doesn't inspire other teams to play boring hockey. I'm

also sure Vegas plays boring honey, But a lot of

people accuse Carolina of that. Look, they've been successful, they're

not gonna they're not gonna stop, they're not gonna change,

and they're you know, analytics driven. They shoot every puck

they can at the net. It works. But sexy matchup

Vegas Carolina? I agree. I would think going into the

final four, the conference finals, that most people would want

to see Colorado Montreal. They can only go back Montreal

matchup lots of lots of star power there. I'll see

what happens.

Speaker 1: Tons of offense, all right. Driving the Alaska Highway home

this morning, Dawson Creek this morning, then through fourtaint John.

Is it just me? Or do the Canucks need some good,

tough Northern boys hoping gab drops to the Canucks to

three Yukon Spencer Gavirine Mchanna.

Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, is it just me? But and you know what,

you look at a lot of mock drafts, people have

that happening. Yeah, given that San Jose uh is so

interested or should be interested in the affair, Ansman and

people like Craig Button feeling or other people he feels

Gavin McKennon will be number one, But there's a lot

of people who feel ever Stenburg would be the best

choice at number one. Is it just me? But once

the Canucks hire a coach, the next course of action

should be finding an anthem singer. No disrespect to the

current anthem singer, but they need somebody who could belt

out the anthem and fire up a crowd before the

game even starts. Like raj Do sat back in the

day and back Boston Bruins. The guy in Chicago, well, okay,

Jim Cornielson, Yeah, he gets appears there's there's one of him.

I don't understand a cappella. You gotta have the old

keyboard there helping helping out the anthem singer.

Speaker 1: I think you and I grew up with Richard Loney,

who I thought did agree.

Speaker 3: I saw a recent video of him, an old YouTube video,

and I I loved made me realize just how good

he was. He was very good.

Speaker 1: I thought Richard Loaney and the Canucks, it was a

great combo.

Speaker 3: Is it just me?

Speaker 1: Or is Jared Bedner a perfect for the Canuck's job

if he could from the Avalanche? This is that dumb,

dumb Tambier, Like, do you honestly think don that if

Jared Benner gets.

Speaker 3: Let go, let go, He's gonna say to his agent.

Speaker 1: And by the way, all these guys got agents, let's

go to Vancouver thirty second overall, let's start back at

the bottom. I'm a with the hockey club that's close

to the top, but let's let's let's just go to

the bottom of the league. This guy and his submissions.

This is the dumbiest dumb guy. I mean, this is

the dumbest submission I've ever seen.

Speaker 3: Anyways, On that note, we'll take a break. We've got

to wrap up the show. The poll question next Doney Dela,

best model for long term cannucts success? Boy o boy

eighty six percent say Montreal's rebuild bought. Fourteen percent say

Vegas win now style.

Speaker 3: Montreal hosting Carolina game three tonight, apps putting the rebuilt

Speaker 1: Before we get to pictures, I just want to say

elementary school passed away recently. A big fan of the show.

Speaker 1: I gotta tell you something. First of all, I think

he's happy in Montreal working for the habs. And did

you see the shout out he got from the coach

after the one game one? He said, Burrows did all

the pre scout. He's a really sharp guy. Alexander Burrows.

Speaker 3: I won't sorry, sorry, I want to say geefs from Surrey.
