do nothing Blue?

Speaker 2 (00:25):

Speaker 1 (00:26):
I say that the winner of the draft lottery should
be the winner of a two man Loosh and.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Rick Dolly Wall I had a cherry tree, Little Ricky.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
I used to go up that tree and just sit
there for hours and a bunch on those juries years.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Donnie and Dolly.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Ten o'clock in downtown Vancouver. We're the Paul Carson Studio.
Thanks for tuning in, folks. It's Donnie and Dolly the

Ryan Henderson is our producer. He is the man at
the controls or director. The voice of God is Derek Won.
How are you, oh, lovely?

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Couldn't be better?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Well, I'm surprised I did that because your New West
salmon Bellies. Rick's from Newestminster raised there game four Mann
Cup last night. The salmon bellies are having trouble left
getting off to a roaring start in that series. Up
to nothing series now tied at to ten to three
for Six Nations. Last night over the Bellies, they won

(01:21):
Game three nineteen nine. Game five tonight at Queens Park.
Will see if the Salmon Bellies can bounce back.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Come on, pick it up, guys. The Six Nations goaltender
was great last night. No fights in the stands, but
a lot during the game. I got a little heat
it heat it at the end. So it's starting to
build up. It's starting to build up some hatred in
this series, Donny, But let's go Salmon Bellies.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah. Oftentimes, and I go way back with this sport,
the team that travels has and you know East versus West,
the team that travels, in this case East to West
a long flight, you have to get adjusted. They will
often not be at their best the first game or
two jun teams. Seems that might be the case here
and they've finished to bounce back and tie it up.

(02:08):
So best of luck to the Bellies. Canucks. Meanwhile, okay,
did you want to say anything else about the no
but new West Queen's Park Canucks camp opens on the
eighteenth and Penticton. That's next Thursday. Yeah, okay, Prospects Showcase

(02:28):
Saturday and Sunday in Everett and Seattle, respectively, that's coming
up this weekend. We'll deal with that. There's some interest
in the roster, of course there is. There's some interesting
choices with the Canucks' roster for that Prospect's Showcase. We'll
deal with that a little bit later. But in this
first segment you wanted to deal with. We wanted to

(02:50):
deal with the situation with the Hughes brothers.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
This story, Like I was saying to myself last week,
Donny self on Talk I talk to myself quite a bit.
I was saying to myself, the Canucks need a drama
less season. Last year, Miller Peterson, it was crazy. They
were in the news for all the wrong reasons. Start
a new year, the outside noise, none of it. And

(03:16):
here we go the first week we're on the air,
we got outside noise. And this story is not dying.
It's just not going away.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
It's just the way people are interested. It's okay, and
it shouldn't be here. It shouldn't be here. Listen. Look,
the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. Yeah, you
want people to care about things, and it's understandable that
people would care about the future of their best player
in Quinn Hughes, by the way, that's the conversation you
had with yourself.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
I talked to I go on walks, I walk the dog.
I talked to myself, and I was just saying.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
I've seen that that's a concern.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
I was just saying that, you know, the Canucks need
a drama less season, Dawn.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
I always say that, you know, when you do talk
to yourself or you think to yourself, if people knew
the things that we think about, oh like that, you know,
I don't have this job anymore. That's for sure.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
That is true.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
More on that later. Meanwhile, Quinn Hughes yesterday in Vegas, right,
make that Jack Hughes yesterday in Vegas. Talk to Pierre
Lebron and he had this to say. We talked about
it yesterday. We see the code board here. Yeah, this
is from Pierre Lebron. TSN used to be on our
show on a regular basis. Where do you end up?

(04:32):
The quote is this is a headline question? You know,
this is the possibility. Pierre asked him about the possibility
of Jack one day playing with Quinn. This is the
headline question. Honestly, I'm not afraid to say it. Yeah,
I would love for Quinn too. Eventually, I'd love to
play with him. And whether that's in Jersey or what
time that takes, at some point, I want to play

(04:54):
with Quinn. But yeah, that's the question going around. They
talk all day about it up in Vancouver, you know.
But yeah, this is really hockey player talk, by the way.
But yeah, I'd love to play with Quinn at some point.
And you made this point yesterday. I can't remember it
was on the air, off the air, you know this
his brother brother. Of course he's gonna say what he

(05:16):
wants to play with him? Is that? That is it?
That big a deal? Might not ever happen. You know,
there's a lot of things that have to happen in
order for that to happen. Not that not that big
a deal. And today Pierre caught up with Quinn. Hughes
is now down in Vegas. I got that right, right,
he's Vegas. Down in Vegas, media assembled down there, and

(05:37):
this is what Quinn had to say to Pierre. Okay,
you do the honest this time, but don't mean the
whole thing. Just the quotes.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, and so this is Quinn Hughes saying, I mean
he's my brother. What's he supposed to say? First of all, like,
I don't want to play with him, you know, I
mean we have contracts and whatnot. He's on a different team.
Would it be fun to play with those guys at
some point? Of course? I think if you got brothers,
you guys would say the same thing. But we do
have contracts. I'm excited to be in Vancouver. I feel

(06:06):
like last year was a bit of a failure. So
I feel like I got things to do there. And
I know Jack loves he loves New Jersey and he's
got stuff to do. Also, Quinn also added that he's
absolutely has no problem with Jack saying what he said yesterday.
That's just him being authentic. Quinn said, So, look, has
the family talked about it? Mom and dad around the fireplace,

(06:29):
the kids after dinner? Yeah, I mean common sense tells
you they've talked about its.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Common sense tells you they probably don't have a wood
burning fireplace.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
What's wrong with the fireplaces now, Donnie?

Speaker 1 (06:43):
You?

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Yeah, the electrical ones said they it goes foof you
see the flames.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
So the Hughes.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
What if it's midsummer though, don You don't think around
the campfire the Hues have talked about this, not the
campfire but the fire fellows, Donnie, you don't think.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
They've talked about it, of course. Yeah, you don't think
Pat Person and J. P. Barry, the agents, they can't talk,
are they around the campfire? Around the campfire? Listen. As
a family, they probably have talked about it, but getting
it done is a whole lot tough.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
It's human nature. So basically Quinn saying what you said yesterday,
that he is a brother. They're brothers.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
You know Stashne's played together, Peter Paul and you know
the Stashne brothers in Quebec, remember in the eighties, Don.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, and none of them were named to Paul and Peter. Anyways,
the Sutters Peter, Marian and Anton.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Peter Marian and Anton.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Maybe they had a brother named Paul and.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
The Stutters played together.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
You were thinking of Peter, Paul and Mary.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
I think of Peter, Paul and Mary band in the sixties,
the Stash's play one of their songs. The Stashne's played together, Don,
back in the eighties, all three of them for Quebec
for the Quebec ridis. Yeah, yeah, yeah, boy, I tell you,
Peter Stancey, what old boy? Was he ever good?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
And he was the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet.
Just a huge man man.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
And I don't think story when they came over.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Well, I don't think. I believe I've got the stat right.
And we're off topic a bit here. That happens a
lot on the show. Peter stats the second most NHL
points in the eighties to Wing Gretzky. Right, what a player?
He was not a ton of team success there, but
what what a player? Just just a just a horse.
The Plaguer brothers do you remember them.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Brothers Saint Louis.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh, this was a weird song. Play one of their heads,
right tough the Magic Dragon. Oh that puff the.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Magic Yeah, I remember that song.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
So this is Peter Paul Yeah, allegedly about smoking what
the kids like to call marijuana. Say, the most people
call it marijuana. So this Mary Jane back in the day.
The song is about marijuana, allegedly.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
Fun fact, they wrote it around a fireplace. The three
of them are sitting in the campfire.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I think about it. Poppy right of teaching chunk stuff
and one thing about Peter Paul and Mary. None of
them played for the Confector. Maybe they tried out.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
I'm not I was thinking Peter Paul, Okay, I can
I say turn the music off?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Right?

Speaker 4 (09:14):
I want to say this right? Oh right there puff
the Magic Dragon. Okay, slow, it's too slow. It's too slow.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Songs too slow.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
It's like an old like folks see battle and I
got some information say something.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
By the way, well, I think that song was like
a number one hit.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Really off.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, there's how much weed were they spoken back? Then?

Speaker 6 (09:36):
You know what The other thing is is I could
be wrong on this. I think we heard it in
like elementary school.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Oh yeah, it's like what.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
They twisted like a kid's song nobody.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Allegedly it's about weed.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Right, it's not that far off.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
But if you saw I gotta say something here like again,
way on subject. But I think I've got this right.
Jimmy Fallon and Kevin Bacon did a takeoff on Peter
Paul and Mary. Is unbelievable, and it's somehow morphed into
you two. It's it's unbelievable. Yeah, no, don't. This is

(10:15):
a live version. There they are.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
Released in nineteen sixty three.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
See the kids singing it. Yeah, oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
But the kid doesn't know.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
It's just look at that they're competing with the Beatles
and winning. At one point the film, look at these people.
They love it, then they DONTEI the Jimmy Fallon takeoff on.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
This is unbelieving. I think I know what you're talking about.

Speaker 7 (10:43):
Oh my gosh, it's very good. Okay, okay, we got
to cut it out. Ryan my Well, I wanted to
say this. I wanted to say this.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Okay, it's stop it.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
The Quinn Hughes thing. He is not a uf eight.
He's got two years left on his deal. The Canucks
can't talk to him till July first. Got July first.
But here's the thing. If the Canucks get an indication
from Quinn that he's not going to sign July first,
they got to move right away. Mitch Marter just did
a whole year in Toronto as a uf fate outside noise.

(11:23):
It was crazy. Now Edmonton's going through it with Connor McDavid.
He's not signing. Connor McDavid is not signing. The Canucks
can't go into the UFA season with the Quinn here.
If they get an inkling at the draft that he's
not signing, move on.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
You know you're talking with this coming twenty twenty six.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
He's got two years, he's got two but they can
talk contract with them July first.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
There there will be a lot of noise. But I
was gonna mention the Plaguer brothers they played together, and
there I know there are other examples of brothers, three
brothers playing. The Southern Brothers had six but three brother
the Hunters, for for instance, playing together. I remember the
plaguer is playing to get other the old timer's out
there like me will remember Bill, Bob and Berkley park

(12:05):
together Saint Louis with the Saint Louis Great Hockey family.
So look, folks, people are crazy about hockey. This story
is not going to go away until Quinn signs on
the dotted line. That's somewhere. That's it, and the speculation
is there. And I was I was going to say
this too, like, let's not forget that. Well, I'm not

(12:25):
going to forget this that when and I'll never forget it.
When Luke got drafted, and remember it was in the
Hughes family home in the think they're around a fireplace,
fire pit, and he got drafted by New Jersey and
then Jack just jumped up them jump and I just
thought to myself, you know what a what Quinn's thinking

(12:47):
right now? You know, I'm very happy for his brother,
no doubt about it. They're living in a dream world,
you know, like the chances of them playing together very remote.
But I just wonder what he was thinking at that point.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
One more thing people remember this, Quinn Hughes is going
to be a UFA. These players work hard to become
UFA's doney because their club control for seven eight years.
After they're drafted, they can't go anywhere until you get
UFA status. He's worked hard all his life and when
you become a UFA, you can go anywhere you want.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
And I know you wanted to add to this. Ryan.
There was another reporter who was talking who referred to
and lived it was down in Vegas. Referred to what
Jim Rutherford had to say. Yeah, but this is a
few months ago after after the season was over to
two parts.

Speaker 6 (13:30):
Josh Clipperton from Canadian Press, Quinn he was and if
he's surprised all the chatter, but his future two years
out from UFA status and Jack's comments. Yes and no,
obviously Jack wants Jack wasn't the first one to bring
it up.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
In fairness to him.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
That's a shot at Rutherford, a shot, but it's honest,
it's fact. I mean he's right.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
I mean Jim is the one that jokingly brought it
up at that year end presser.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah. Uh.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
The follow up was asked by Greg Rushinski. He asked
Quinn a out Rutherford's public declaration that Hughes quote wants
to play with his brother. Quinn said, quote, I don't know.
Jim's a smart guy. Jim's doing, you know, what he
wants to do. I've got a lot of respect for Jim,
so I'll just leave it at that.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, the devils weren't happy. I don't think, well, Quinn
couldn't be joking.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
Give a Quinn why, I know he's joking, and I
you know what, and we always talk about we get
we don't get enough honest comments from people, and you know,
we we dissect things, but like it's on everybody's mind,
and then you bring that up, and then Rick's right
care you add another organization into it though, because remember
he was talking about basically essentially talking to the devils

(14:44):
at some point like it's.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Not for the Canucks until he re signs. This story's
not gonna die. It's not gonna go away. And every
time the Canucks play the Devils, or anytime, it's just
gonna pop up again and again and again and again.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
I'll tell you what Jim Rutford would remember. You're Paul
and Mary probably Oh yeah, right, yea, more on that later. Okay,

Speaker 4 (16:38):
It finished at number sixteen in the Billboard.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
So sixty three. They weren't necessarily competing with the Beatles.

Speaker 4 (16:44):

(18:11):
in Seattle, brought to you by Able Auctionsabelouctions dot c A.
He joins us for another year, another season from KJR
Sports Radio in Seattle and the Crack and Hockey Network.
Our friend Ian for an sc and thanks for doing
this here. How are you? How is your summer?

Speaker 3 (18:29):
That was great?

Speaker 8 (18:30):
Probably not as great as yours since you guys took
the summer off. So I'm jealous of that, but I appreciate.
I'm surprised you're inviting me back, but I appreciate it.
So good to see you guys.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Oh, no brainer, Hey, forty nine ers comeback. They beat
the Seahawks seventeen thirteen or Seattle fans okay with being
victimized by Jake Tanjas.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
No, they're they're less than okay, Donnie, not okay. Things
are not good down in Seattle right now. Losing the
forty nine ers anytime is tough. A third string tight
end with no career catches, beating your cornerback in rieg Wollan,
who had such a great rookie year, has kind of
fallen off since. And you know, there's so many things
that go into that game, not going forward on fourth
and one for Seattle and watching brock Purty just victimized well,

(19:15):
and not not just on that play, but a play
before that. To Ricky Piersall, it was it was a
rough weekend for Seahawks fans, and safe to say they're
not over.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
It just yet. Sixteen for twenty three, one hundred and
fifty yards. What was your opinion of Sam Darnold's Seattle debut.

Speaker 8 (19:30):
I thought he got victimized by his own coaching staff,
to be honest with you. You know, last year we
talked a lot about Ryan Grubb, the offensive coordinator, came
from Washington College. Guy didn't really adapt to the pro
game in the NFL, wider hash marks and you know,
a desire to drive the ball down the field oftentimes
and yet you know, not get it to say a
guy like DK Metcalf, and we heard about, you know,

(19:52):
the Kubiak offense and kind of a timing passing offense.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
It was a weird day, Donnie and rick. It was
very strange.

Speaker 8 (19:58):
He had thirteen targets to Jackson Smith and Jigba, and
he had eleven combined to every other receiver. None to
their third receiver, Tory Horton, who's supposed to be the
new DK Metcalf. Not size wise, there's only one Dk,
but a guy that's a speed guy that can get
down the field take the top off of a defense.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
It was just a he only had three targets to
Cooper Cup.

Speaker 8 (20:20):
And yes, Cup did have a drop, which normally doesn't
happen for him, but it was just a you know,
there's a lot of concern, not concerned. I guess there's
a lot of criticism going Ryan Grubb or Klint kubiakx
Way the new offensive coordinator and you know, hard to tell,
hard to kind of judge Darnold and on you know,
what was given to him on the plate.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
I think I've asked you this before, Ian, but what
what has happened to the Seahawks' dominance at Lumenfield any
particular reason or is it just one of those things?

Speaker 8 (20:47):
Yeah, guys, I think it's there's a couple of things.
One and you guys probably see this with the Canucks.
I mean, heck, we sometimes see what the Kraken. I mean,
tickets are expensive, and you know, depending on who's coming
to town. Season ticket holders over the years, it's not
just Seattle, but to other places have decided, hey, you know,
we can sell tickets to a game or two and
make all of our money back and go to the

(21:07):
other six, seven, eight, whatever it is games from Seattle
for a for a football team, and the forty nine
ers always travel well, they come up here. There's a
lot of transplants from the Bay Arey in Seattle. Frankly,
when I was traveling with the team for all those years,
I saw I saw Seattle fans do the same thing
and uh, and they would take over stadiums all across
the country.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Still do UH.

Speaker 8 (21:26):
And you know there's teams like the La Chargers haven't
never played a home game, Rams play a fifty to
fifty stadium most week.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
And so far.

Speaker 8 (21:33):
But as far as you know, so that's the crowd
element of it. So it's not the same crowd now.
Sunday was good. Sunday was pretty good. That it's kind
of skewed because when you're watching the TV feed and
the cameras shoot across the side towards the visiting side,
most of the tickets that are desirable to be sold
by season ticket holders are sold behind the visit the
visiting bench, and so you see.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Like a sea if red over there.

Speaker 8 (21:53):
You know the rest of the stadium for the most
you know, there were reports there's gonna be fifty one
forty nine er fans in the state in the stadium.
That wasn't even closed to be the case. But yeah,
they the fans are one thing. It's odd. They were
a great road team last year and a horrible home
team and that you know, that start hopefully for Seattle's sake,
the seahawks sake.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
It continues this week as they go to Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
All right, let's talk hockey. Come on, let's go the cracking.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Eric, Hey, let's go. They missed the playoffs last two years,
but they got a new coach and new GM. Where
do they fit right now? This is the fifth year
for the krack and where are they fitting in that
Seattle sports landscape?

Speaker 1 (22:30):
For you?

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Well, let's do they missed the playoffs?

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Donnie? Did you know that?

Speaker 3 (22:33):
I didn't know that, you know, Rick, That's why we
have you here right now.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
Two years in a row, and it better not be
three years in a row.

Speaker 8 (22:41):
Well, you know what, I think you're correct. I think
that's what they were thinking when they decided to fire
damp File. It better not be three years in a row.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Man.

Speaker 8 (22:48):
You know, they've done some great things off the ice,
and one of those things, you know, they lowered concession prices,
especially for season ticket holders this coming season. Unprecedented sports
and they're doing some incredible things in that regard. The
building is still packed every night and so and you know,
despite you know the guy you're looking at right now.

(23:11):
The TV ratings are through the roof when they moved
to terrestrial television over the year, broadcast in prime video
as well, So all those things helped the off ice product.
On ice, it's been a struggle for a lot of reasons.
They had to let Dave Haxtall go and it was
time to move on. They brought on Dan Bilsman. He'd
done such a great job in Coachella with the young guys,
and so they did. They brought Dan in, and frankly,

(23:32):
my one man's opinion, I think the game kind of
had he The game had outgrown Dan, Like you.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Know, he was great twenty years ago. And we see
this all the time.

Speaker 8 (23:40):
I do a weekly thing with Mike ho Longrin on
radio here in Seattle, and I don't know if Mike
could coach in today's NFL, and some guys maybe can't
coach in today's NHL. He wasn't and it was an
older staff outside of Jessica Campbell. And so they made
a move. And I think We've talked about this a
ton of times. I've always applauded them for this. If
something doesn't work, they change it. Like they don't, they

(24:01):
don't stay in place, and well, hopefully it'll get better.
They don't worry about the money aspect. They're paying three coaches.
So they brought into guy in Lay Lambert, who's a
lot more structured defensive structure. Last year was awful. I mean,
you guys could see that. It was just it was
and for just so strange. The cord wore down a
little bit. The injuries to Everly and Dunn crushed this team.
And you know, I'm talking to you guys about injuries.

(24:22):
We all every team has injuries, but you know, they're
just not deep enough in that sense.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
But I think they're going to.

Speaker 8 (24:28):
I'd be stunned if we're talking, if we're if we're
not talking about a team at least in the playoff mix.
Post Olympic break. I'm excited to set Lambert brings and
his new coaching staff. I love Chris Taylor as an
assistant coach. I think he'll bring a dynamic to the
offense and especially the power play. So but as far
as the landscape, we're very very cyclical.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Guys.

Speaker 8 (24:50):
It's football season now, It'll it's baseball season now, it'll
be hockey season soon. Rookie camp starts for for the
krack and tomorrow. But they're solidly entrenched here. They just
need to win games. They need to get back to
the postseason. They need to do that, and I think
they at least be in the mix this season.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, you know, Lane Lambert's number one job's gonna be
the power play was twenty third last year, the PK
was twenty first. Yeah, that's got to be two areas
where he tackles right away.

Speaker 8 (25:19):
Yeah, you know, which was odd that the penalty kill
was so bad, you know, with the court had such
a great first three quarters of the season. Like I said,
I think he kind of wore down. You know, you
can point to some really simple numbers for why this
team was twenty points out of a playoff spot, and
we kind of equated down here to help our fans
with you know, they're ten games out, you know, which
is a baseball term. We're talking about baseball now so

(25:40):
much here. There are ten games out.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Well.

Speaker 8 (25:42):
You know, Philip Grubauer had fifty six potential points in
his starts last season twenty three starts. Guys he had
twelve points. He earned twelve points.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
In his starts.

Speaker 8 (25:51):
Think about that, like, like, if he's just okay, not
even really average. If he's just okay, they're in it.
The penalty kill and the PK like Rick you meant,
and they're both in the bottom third in the league.
If those things are just around average, they're in it.
And so you just change a couple of those things.
Like I said, I think the new staff will be
able to do that. They'll they'll have more patience with
this staff. They knew what Bilesma was about. I think

(26:13):
there was some pressure to hire him from within because
of the development of guys like Wright and others in
the in the farm system for the couple of years
using Coachella. But you know, they went out and got
a guy that, yeah, didn't work his first time around.
Although you can look at the records some of the
underlying numbers and I think Lane's you know, he's a
good hockey man, very organized, But yeah, it was it
was a weird, strange season. I don't think we any

(26:34):
of us saw what was coming. There's other the other
thing is too and you guys know this because I
think I think there's a guy named ep forty still
on your team. Sometimes sometimes your best players have to
play better, like sometimes they just have to step up,
and you know, Maddie Beniers has to be better. You know,
I think they're They like Shane Wright's development so far.
Remember Shane Wright turned twenty one last January. Like he's

(26:56):
still a kid, but they like his development. Boy Coppolcackle
really changed things for that team when they got him. Uh,
there's a lot of young, good young players. They don't
have an aircraft carrier, you know, they don't have that
dude like you know, and but but they have some
good young players.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
I like their I like their makeup. I'm just shocked.

Speaker 8 (27:15):
I think we were all shocked last year how bad
they were on the PK and just how bad they
were defensively. And I you know, there was talk about
the lack of structure. I heard that all season long.
So I think that'll change and that hopefully that will
help baseball.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Uh. Yes, Ian cal Rawley just how popular and Mariners
playing well? How popular is he down in Seattle. And
he's of course an al MVP candidate.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah, he's Donnie.

Speaker 8 (27:39):
He's the guy like you know, I if we look
at like, who's the most popular athlete, most important athlete
in Seattle, it's it's him or Julio.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Right now. The Seahawks don't have that guy. The Seahawks
just don't have a dude. Uh. They got good players.

Speaker 8 (27:52):
Devin Witherspoon's a potential All Pro and they've got some
good players, a bunch of you know, Pro bowlers, but
you know, with the days of the superstars, like the
big name guys Marshawn or whoever, they're not here with
the Seahawks right now.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (28:04):
And the Krack and don't we just talked about the
crack and don't have an aircraft carrier. Uh, this is
a guy like like Cal Ray is so popular, big dumper,
you can't go go wrong with the name.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
And then Julio's number two. To be honest with you,
Like those guys are one two right now.

Speaker 8 (28:18):
If you're just saying, who are the most popular, most important,
most impactful athletes in Seattle, it's Cal and Julio.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
And you know Julio's right there with him.

Speaker 8 (28:26):
He's gonna finish in the top ten in MVP voting too,
So it's it's been a fun summer man, watching I
like watching history, you know. I thank you guys are
the same way. We're all old here, Donnie older than
the rest of us, Rick, right, but we're all old here.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (28:39):
And so when you got a guy like cal Raley's
next home run ties Mickey Mantle for the most home
runs by a switch hitter, to me, that's that's crazy.
Like Mickey Mantle when you're in that same game conversation,
that's that's that's special territory. It's been a it's been
a fun summer so far.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
I wish I was old enough to know who you
were talking about that Mickey who.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yeah, that's that's not right.

Speaker 8 (28:59):
You watched his game as a rookie, I think back,
that's that's what Ryan just told me. In my ears,
it wasn't me, that's what Ryan I remember.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Hearing about him as a prospect exactly.

Speaker 8 (29:10):
Hey, By the way, I'm supposed to be nice to
you guys this year because my good friend Tim Hinch,
he's helping run the Canucks now in the front office,
So I gotta be nice I can't. I can't take
shots at Tyler Myers or the rest of the Canucks anymore.
I got to be nice this year. That's what I
was told by my buddy Hinch, And you guys be
nice to him. He's a good man up there. So
no complaining about the Canucks, no complaining about the seats.
Ryan Hinch's gonna do a good job for you guys.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
They've got they've gotten new seats and Ian, we're always nice.
And when it comes to the Knucks, all they have
to do is commit to a rebuild and we'll be fine. Ah,
that's fine.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah. The no plan plan is what is that? What
Ray calls it, right, the no plan. That's a plan
going on.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
I don't know if it's a good one, but it's
a plan. Ian. Great to have you back, my friend, boys.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
I look forward to it every week.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Thank you you bet I kJ R Sports Raid Cracking
Hockey Network UH Cracking Prospects versus the Kannuck Prospects down
in Washington State this coming weekend. As we talked about
in the first segment, By the way, Marin is just
a game out in the American League West. Jay's helping
them out yesterday by coming back to beat the Astros

(30:11):
a break. We'll deal with the poll question next, Donnie
Dela the team, won't you waddling dog poll question experience
one of Victoria's iconic destinations, sleep, sip, and stock up,
all in one legendary spot, Come.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Sit and stay at the dog today, Rick, all right, Ryan,
get her up the waddling dog poll question of the day.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
And it is as soon as Ryan gets her up.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
What's more likely to happen with the Hughes brothers, Jack
and Luke come back or come to Vancouver or Quinn
goes to New Jersey? And wow, look at this, sixty
one percent say Quinn goes to New Jersey as opposed
to the other way around, which is thirty nine seven
hundred votes already. And we didn't start this, I said,

(31:02):
because we're starting to get the you guys, the negative.
What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Stop?

Speaker 4 (31:07):
Stop? This was started by the NHL and they have
all their superstars gathering in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Well you can go back to Jim Rutherford, Jim Rotherford
starting last year. Yeah, and you know, and so he
was joking around.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
This was not started by Vancouver media. It was not
started by us. It was started by inviting the superstars
to Las Vegas and people ask them questions and the
Hughes brothers they love talking about it. They love talking
about it.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Don Well, as far as the results go, I mean,
this is not surprising at all. I think the majority
of people who follow the Canucks, who care about the Canucks,
want Quinn Hughes to stay. But it's a lot easier
to move one player versus two. Right, absolutely just doesn't happen,
and there's.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
No way yet.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
What what?

Speaker 9 (31:57):
What?

Speaker 8 (31:57):
What? What?

Speaker 4 (31:58):
What could the Canucks possibly give New Jersey for those
two players? Who are you know, superstars?

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Come on?

Speaker 4 (32:05):
Was there anything? Canucks couldn't even get Rossi out of Minnesota,
but they're gonna get Jack and Luke Hughes.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Well, you know they could give up Quinn, right, Quinn,
here's for Jack and Luke. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:18):
By the way, can I emit a faux pall at
the pole? I should have also had all three go
somewhere else, because you've had quite a few write in
people replying to the pole saying that they'll go somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Find a way to go somewhere. Actually got a pretty
hefty contract, That's the thing. That's none as easy as
people think. Right, Well, Luca's on our fas you know.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Yeah, and we haven't talked about this. Quinn's next contract
on is going to be out of this world as well,
like I mean, I mean it's the people are talking
thirteen fourteen to fifteen million for Quinn Hughes as well.
Where's the cap going to be at that point? Well,
it'll be very high, yeah, But people are not factoring
in because Luke Hughes has no contract right now. He's

(33:03):
in RFA with the Devil's he's hold out.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Uh. But these three.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Think about the money these three on New Jersey would
take up on the payroll.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Did we ever do you remember the sedeens ever talking
about or rumors being bandied about about them going elsewhere together?
I don't, Well, when was he gonna help us out?

Speaker 4 (33:28):
There?

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Wasn't it the Toronto thing? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Isn't that Brian Burr something out and accused of tampering? Right,
he got in trouble. He got slapped on the wrist
right for talking about No, it wasn't Brian.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Burke, but I don't think they ever addressed it though.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
It was the coach Wilson. I think, uh, we're looking
back into Ron Wilson. I think mentioned that I just
remember the least person tampering about the Sedins.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yeah. I know you didn't want to talk about this,
you wanted to focus on something local. But let's show
the Frank Sarahvelli tweet today because we can. We can
connect it to what we were just talking about. And
you were talking about, you know what Quinn Hughes may
demand on his next contract. So Jack in year four
of eight by the way, eight million of season bargain. Yeah, yeah,

(34:16):
it's one of those it's one of those early deals, right. Yeah,
but look at this from Franks, our friend, Frank Seahvelli.
Sources say Carole Capriso's camp turned down an extension offer
from the Wild, believed to be eight years, one hundred
and twenty eight million dollars, in a meeting on Tuesday

(34:36):
in Minnesota. It would have made him the highest paid
player in NHL history in both AAV and total dollars.
And that AAV average annual value sixteen schmill per season.
So if caprisa is demanding or turning down that much
from the Minnesota Wild, what's Quinn Hughes going to be asking.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
For exactly and what's forget about Quinn Hughes. What is
Connor McDavid going to get if this guy's turning down
sixteen And McDavid is not signed by the Oilers right now, Uh,
he's in the final year of his deal. What's Connor
McDavid going to get if this guy's turning down sixteen.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
I don't want to connect it to the conversation with
with the Hughes brothers and Quinn Hughes in this market.
I mean it's well, who'd you rather have on your team? Yeah,
Caprice Off, Quinn Hughes, And you can talk about Kapriceoff
being a superstar. Quinn a Noro's trophy Wunner.

Speaker 6 (35:33):
It's in a world that he's making ten million dollars
more a season than his brother.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Quinn.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Yeah, well there is there a world Queen's making.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
But Jack Hughes, Yeah, right now, that's a bargain.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
By the way, is this not like a red flag's
alarm bells sirens going off in Minnesota?

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Like?

Speaker 4 (35:54):
What's he turning it down for?

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Like? Because is that that tells me he doesn't want
to be there.

Speaker 6 (36:00):
That's what I miss Because you said, Donnie the owner
of the GM in Minnesota made a comment about the
contract would be this, it would be highest paid all that, so,
so like, what more can the organization do?

Speaker 4 (36:11):
This also tells me that the PA, like the PA does,
put a bug in the ear of players, like they
want the players, especially with the cap going up, and
they want the players to get as much as they can. Right, Sure,
but how is he worth any more than that?

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Well?

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Because Rick, you you if you put that alongside McDavid, right,
Because so let's say McDavid is twenty, that's that would
be about.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Right, twelve and a half now McDavid, right, I mean
I think twenty guys? Good?

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Right, I mean he's a good player, but more than
sixteen good?

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Okay, But okay, let's go back. Let's connect it to
the Canucks here. Like again, I'll say what I just said.
How many people would like to have Caprice stuff on
their team versus Quinn Ewes. Yeah, at the very least,
it's a split. I would think.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
Well, I mean, I know it's different position and all that,
but Quinn's number starts with that, yeah, right, Like I mean,
I mean Nora's Trophy winner finalist.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
The only thing that makes if you're if you're a
Canuck fan, the only real positive news out of this
is that maybe somewhere down the line that eleven six
is going to look pretty good. He bounces back, bargain bargain,
He gets back to being you are Petterson, You are right.
People are going to look at that. And I've said

(37:33):
it all along, it was a great deal. Yeah, they're
gonna look at that deal and go, that's that they
knew what they were doing.

Speaker 6 (37:40):
I thought you're gonna see the caduc shoul make a
call for Capriso, see if you can pray him out
of Minnesota.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
They couldn't even get Marco Rossi out, So how are
you going to get this guy out who wants sixteen?

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Okay, So we'll deal with the Canucks prospects roster later
on the show, yeah, or maybe later in the week.
We'll see. Yeah, all right, what I have half a
day left in my week? Yeah? Well okay, And I
know your old thing, one year quit well one yeah,

(38:15):
well yeah, you can see that about million athletes out there.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
He's got one hundred point season.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
I know that. His point is like, why would you
just not work one year? Any quit? Just enjoy the
sixteen travel Yeah, you know, going your one of your
LA cruises there supporting the American economy.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Stop doing that.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
The cruise went to l A.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
I had no choice in that, like sixteen million. What
do you mean I took that cruise because it was
only four days. I don't I don't want seven.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
There's a Peter, Paul and Mary reunion on the cruise. Yeah,
attributes act it must yeah maybe, yeah, I'm not sure

Speaker 1 (42:06):
Okay, so it's Kevin and Brent.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
They're both from Victoria, but for the last twenty five
plus years they've been residents of Taiwan. They've been living
in Taiwan. On Brent's most recent visit back, however, he
stopped by the Bayside resort and picked up a couple
of Donning Dolly t shirts for the both of them
to wear, perfect for catching up on the show, which

(42:30):
is of course late fifteen hours ahead, so they have
to catch it a different time than we're on lot.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
What's their business they spent all that time?

Speaker 4 (42:38):
I don't know. He just says, they've both been in
Taiwan for twenty five plus years.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Thanks for the support guy, Taiwan.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
Yeah, or watch a show on YouTube. So Kevin and
Brent they're in their D and D shirts in Taiwan,
so unbelievable, fantastic.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Peter was Paul's dead yea, Moving on Paul people, They
formed a band.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
Yeah, this is from Larry in Port Moody.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
How about this?

Speaker 4 (43:09):
He sent us this.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
This morning. He said this to us.

Speaker 6 (43:14):
He says, while visiting Montreal, we stopped by the Ken
Dryden memorial outside the Bell Center to pay respect to
Ken Dryden. He brought his Dunny Dolly T shirt along.
They were actually doing a news report at the exact
same time. So it's Larry from Port Moody visiting Montreal
outside the Bell Center where they have a small memorial
for Ken Dryden. I can't imagine before their first home

(43:37):
I'm assuming they would do it in the preseason, right,
they'll do it before the home opener, the ceremony, tribute,
whatever it'll be, for all your specials.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
It'll be always just simple and powerful.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
I mean remember the Bellevue one with the seat. They
had that seat there the entire time. Just it was
something else.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
You know, if you've been to the Bell Center, have
you been?

Speaker 3 (43:59):
No?

Speaker 1 (43:59):
No, no, Like I'm not a fan, as you know.
If I happened, I have been, Yeah, have you? I had?

Speaker 4 (44:05):
The Great Cup?

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Was there?

Speaker 4 (44:06):
I went and then I went to a ABS game Saturday.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
As you know, I'm not How do you not remember that?

Speaker 4 (44:11):
I was good at Montreal Forum.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
I got mixed up. Okay, So in the Montreal Forum
right now? Is it the sight of the Forum? It's
a mall. It's disappointed, It's It's okay. But I'm not
a fan of statues. They freak me out right. But
the ones of La Fleur and how Marines and Rocket
Rashard and Bellevue in front of the Bell Center, Yeah, unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Yeah, you're right. Nobody, nobody does it better than than.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
The feel the history, even just outside the building. You do.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
Are you paying attention?

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Attention?

Speaker 4 (44:42):
Absolutely? I love Montreal. The fact that they that is
just in a mall, though, is just so incredibly disappointing.

Speaker 6 (44:49):
Is it may believed? May believe gardens. I think the
rink is still alive, but it's in like a grocery store,
isn't it now? In Toronto, I believe it's converted into
a grocery. Yeah, I don't know, I believe.

Speaker 4 (44:59):
I believe.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
There's times I was in Toronto, you know, only I
only walked by it.

Speaker 4 (45:02):
You never went into and go in.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
But on Montreal and Attwater there was just a it
was just kind of tacky. Then they had the stars
on the that stars on the sidewalk. Yeah, of the
various players and a couple of them that have been
chipped away, right, it was just I thought they do
a better job.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
Well, isn't it us privately owned now?

Speaker 6 (45:23):
I guess yeah, And there's like a Tim Horns. I
think there's well, Okay, moving on the Lions. I want
to mention this.

Speaker 4 (45:29):
The Lions this morning announcing they're bringing back a fan favorite,
that is TJ.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Lee.

Speaker 6 (45:34):
He's going to be rejoining the BC Lions. He's been
a free agent. TJ has been working out. He lives
in Washington State, so he's been working out. I've been
seeing on his on his on his Instagram that he's
been down there. Two time All Star selection, TJ Lee.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
He's seventh, by the way, all time amongst Lions leaders
for interceptions with twenty eight BRANCHI history.

Speaker 4 (45:56):
So yeah, I mean, look at we talked a lot
about they've brought in a lot of d linemen and
defensive backs in the last two three weeks because of
the NFL cuts and all that stuff. But he wasn't
in an NFL cut. He was just down south and
they said, hey, come back, leader. Maybe they need leadership
on that defense because the defense, oh my goodness, it

(46:17):
just breaks down at the stupidest times. Done Like Ottawa,
how do.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
You well when you have a big lead late if
you mean, if that's what you mean by stupidest times,
it's happening in the head game at home.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
Yeah, they've had so many heartbreakers because the defense just
folds like a cheap tent don at the wrong time.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
So welcome back TJ. Lee. The Lions rematch with Ottawa
Friday at DC Plays.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
Yeah, it's there, it's there. We should mention it, by
the way, because the Lions dropped off some goodies for
you guys. It's their campus Clash game. The Lions are
Campus Clash. You mentioned it.

Speaker 6 (46:54):
Uh, you have a chance to win ten thousand dollars
for whatever you need to fuel your student life. Have
more details now at bc lions dot com slash Campus Clash.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (47:06):
The Lions have a great theme going for like every
one of their games, and if you go to their
Twitter account, they have a million promos for tickets and
just they just do an unbelievable everything. Right. Yeah, they
got a star cornerback, star running back, and a star receiver.
But and they're putting up thirty points every game. But
it's not good enough done. When your offense puts up
thirty plus games, you should be winning, not losing.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Maybe gardens is a law loss. Yeah, so it was right.

Speaker 4 (47:33):
It wasn't Hertford drink. David snow guy, Hertford drink was
in them all.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
I'm pretty sure, yeah it was called it was Yeah,
well because yeah, through them all if you've been to
the Hockey Hall of Fame, nokay, you go throw them
all into the Hall of Fame. And it was the
same in Hartford.

Speaker 6 (47:52):
Yeah, but didn't Ray tell you guys he bought a
stereo after practice? They remember famous.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
Yeah that's right, okay, very quickly.

Speaker 6 (48:00):
Actually, you know what, we're out of time. I don't
I want to don't want to keep Scotty rating our
good pal. I'll get to more as the week goes on.
Our good pal, Scott Rintool. He's been on the program before,
he's got he's got a brand new podcast out about
sports parents. The two you horrible, uh sports parents. So
you should be on the show, and Scotty should teach you.
I can be a better sports plant.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
I hope Max is a star hockey player, and I
just can't wait to see how you're going to be
a psychle hockey. I think he's going to be a
baseball player. I think he's gonna be a baseball will
be a problem baseball minor baseball parent.

Speaker 4 (48:38):
It doesn't matter what sport their psycho crazy parents. Some stories, Rick,
I heard, cheerleading is one of the Yeah i've heard
that bad. Yeah, yeah, we're really bad mom. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've heard that as well.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
It does.

Speaker 4 (48:51):
It's not just hot, isn't there Dark Hockey's got the
most crazy parents in this country, for sure, in this country.
But the one you hear about it the most.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
There's some un unbelievable, unbelievable video of bad hockey parents.
Oh you ever hear see the Paul thing? No, the
Paul example. No, okay, well we'll uh. People have no
idea what I'm talking about.

Speaker 4 (49:16):
Sometimes, you know, people sarcastically clap at refs as well.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
That just happens. Yeah, people listen, That wasn't that was
an example of a bad hockey parent. That was an
example of a bad minor hockey coach. Shame on you, Okay,
that's a good point. Shame on you.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
Those kids are refs on the weekend they get forty.
You told us a story about are you ten, eleven,
twelve years old? Shame on you if you yell at
those reps those kids.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
I wasn't yelling.

dot c.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
A h. Scott Rental, our friend, broadcaster, writer, producer, has
a new podcast. It's called Better Sports Parents.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Now.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
I thought we'd set it up with this before we
get to Scott. I refer to this UH in the
previous segment. It's UH for a lot of people I know.
An infamous clip regarding a minor hockey parent. I'm not
sure where it took place. I can't up north or

(50:49):
I'm not sure. I'm not sure where it took place
or when it took place. But it's it is infamous.
It's a it's a minor hockey game and a girls
game and a parent gets upset with a scuffle that
went on and the referee, in his opinion, not not
handling things properly. Sah, but no, I don't think so.

(51:11):
We saw one from Seattle about we're gonna move away
from the location of but you'll get the idea. You'll
get the idea here and what you want to listen
for very this clip became pretty uh infamous. At the
very end you can barely hear it, but one of
the other parents yells, way to go, Paul, if we

(51:31):
can run that. Okay, have you seen that before?

Speaker 4 (51:49):
I haven't seen that one, bere Yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
And we just actually found out the location. It was
in North Vancouver, minor hockey game, girls game. It was Scott.
Actually it wasn't way to go, Paul, This way to
go Scott.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
Scott.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Scott Rentel joins us. Now father of two young daughters.
He's got a new podcast, Better Sports Parents. Scott, thanks
for doing this, sir. How are you boys?

Speaker 12 (52:14):
It's always great to talk to you. I didn't know
if we were going to be talking about ricks Cruz
where or where we're gonna go with this segment, but.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
And of course we're kidding around that that wasn't you.
But you've got this new You've got this new podcast,
Better Sports Parents. I think the name speaks for itself.
But what it's all What is it all about, Scutty?

Speaker 12 (52:34):
Well, you said it, and that's it. I want it
to be pretty direct about it and pretty simple about
it because you guys have been through it or are
going through it, and if you've been in the youth
sports environment right now, you know it's a lot different
than the one that we tried to navigate when we
were growing up and our parents went through. It's a
lot more complicated and there's so much more pressure. And
while it's pretty easy to watch videos like that or

(52:56):
see the other ones where two people are getting a
fight in the hallway or somebody's going after the referee
after the game, that's easy bad parenting or bad sports
parenting to spot. But as you guys know, there's a
lot of stuff that goes on week to week that
people may not know is causing a negative effect on
the youth sports environment or on their kids themselves. And

(53:18):
they're doing it out of good intentions. But the idea
here is to help everybody and provide a resource because
what I've seen since being in the youth sports environment
and being back in it is that there's so much
more pressure. It costs so much more, there's so much
more of a time commitment. I see parents that are
overwhelmed guys, and I just want to help them. Through

(53:39):
professional athletes and people who have been to the highest
level and have seen it all, I want to help
use that conduit to help parents realize that they can
breathe a little here and they don't have to be
going at it the way they are.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
Who are some of the people that you called upon
for this podcast for advice, Scott.

Speaker 12 (53:56):
So it starts with Alison Forsyth and that's the episode
that I released yesterday and it's fantastic And for people
who don't know Alison, she grew up on Vancouver Island
skeet at Mount Washington, became an Olympic skier skeet in
two thousand and two hurt her knee just before two
thousand and six Olympics. But Allison was also involved in
a very high profile case because she was sexually abused

(54:17):
by her coach. So Allison comes at this also mother
of three, who's entrenched in this right now from so
many different angles. She's been the former pro, she has
gone through the safe sports side, and that's where her
passion is now to make it safer sporting environment for
everybody across this country. So she's an expert there. She's
a high level coach, she's a strength and conditioning coach,

(54:37):
and she's raising three kids, so she's right in it.
I felt it was a great place to start. But
after that you're gonna see John Montgomery, Rick Celabrini, Andrea
and Neil Ray Ferraro, who you guys talked about just
a couple of segments ago. People who have been to
the highest level but are raising their own kids. And
while they don't have all the answers, and they admit
that they're going through this like everybody else, they've seen

(55:00):
a lot more than most people. And I think they
can shine a light on a lot of these areas
that people might get a little confused about or just
not know about Scott.

Speaker 4 (55:07):
Let's be honest, the group of parents that takes the
worst beating are hockey parents because they dream the NHL.
Your kid's good at eight, nine, ten, you're thinking, hold
in a second, he might make the NHL. What's your
best advice to hockey parents? Because Donnie and I did it,
we put kids to hockey. We've seen a ton. Well,
what's the advice to hockey parents?

Speaker 12 (55:29):
Well, I think it would start with relax because people
put so much stock into a ten year old hockey game.
You guys, remember how many games you want you in
your ten or how many goal you scored? Probably not,
oh no, And I'll bet you Connor Bdard doesn't either,
and I'll bet you maclan Celebrini doesn't either. So at
the time it feels like your world. And it's because

(55:49):
people are spending so much time in their car and
getting to practices and extra development sessions and they want
their kid to succeed, but they lose sight of what
the real goal here is, which is all of the
great things that ninety nine percent of us got from
sports because we didn't make it to that highest level,
but we've used in our lives, and that's what you're
really trying to get out of sport, and you're trying

(56:10):
to get a healthy lifestyle and an activity level later
in your life that is going to help you be
mentally healthy as well. So those are the things I
think people realize when they put their kids in sport
at the beginning. But as soon as competition's involved, and
as soon as select teams come up, everybody gets thrown
into the blender. And this is something Ray and I
talked about. He's going to be in the fifth episode.

(56:32):
The words elite and high performance get thrown around all
the time, and they get overused, and I think it's
a detriment actually, especially at the younger levels, because people
get caught up in this.

Speaker 4 (56:45):
That was my next question. I just ran into a
parent last week. My daughter plays high level soccer. That
the REP. You know, the kids in house don't have
many issues. There are still some psychos in house, but
REP is where you have the most issues. But the
high level elite, my kid's elite. He plays high level.

(57:07):
You can't get away from that squad. You can try,
but you can't well.

Speaker 12 (57:11):
And again, you have to keep it in perspective and
That's why I wanted to put this resource out there, Rick,
because you're right, it gets thrown around and people look
at it as a badge of honor, and in some
cases it's people living a little bit vicariously through their kids.
They want it so bad because there's that emotional connection
with your child. You want your child to succeed at
whatever he or she does. But it's redefining what success

(57:34):
means at some point when people start going down that
I'll use it here, high performance pathway that gets thrown
out there very early, I think too young in most cases,
quite frankly. But when they start going down that path,
they start thinking what might be next. But I think
they forget sometimes to ask their kids what they actually want. Rick, Yeah,

(57:54):
I do big time when you ask most kids. And
Jumpstart which is a big supporter of this, and I'm
a big supporter of them as well, because I think
they provide so many great programs across this country at
a time when kids can't access sport because of cost
or time. They've done the data and when it comes
back when you ask kids, the number one answer that

(58:15):
comes back why they play sports is it's fun. And
number two is because they want to hang out with
their friends, meet new friends. Number three is, yeah, I
want to improve my skills, but you don't hear. I
want to get a scholarship. You don't hear I want
to make it to the NHL. That might be a
dream somewhere, and you should dream. All kids should dream.
But people lose sight of the fact that these kids
want to have fun first and foremost.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
Scott, you mentioned pressure, and things are different from when
you grew up, when I grew up, when Rick grew up.
And that's that. You mentioned clinics and extra sessions of
things like they cost a lot of money. And oftentimes
you'll get emails. You'll get letters telling how telling you
how great your kid is, and we've been watching them
and we'd like them to attend this camp. And well,

(58:57):
by the way, it costs four or five hundred dollars,
but your kid is pretty good. You want to put
him in this. You don't want him to fall behind.
Maybe he's got to play hockey in the summer instead
of baseball or lacrosse. How do you navigate this world
versus what was happening, say, twenty thirty forty years ago.

Speaker 12 (59:14):
Well, I don't think there's any one answer that fits
any one family or one kid, because there is going
to be that exception where hey, this is the only
thing my child wants to do, so we're gonna let
him or her do that. So I think that you
have to allow for that. But in most cases, I
think people need to realize that their kids probably aren't

(59:34):
going to fall behind.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
They're not.

Speaker 12 (59:37):
They see the kid down the block or the friend
group doing something and that's their perception or someone tells
them that. But you guys know this, in most cases,
the players who are going to rise, the athletes who
are going to rise to that at the end, they're
going to get there no matter which pathway they go on. Yeah,
you know, we can go through one hundred stories, one
hundred stories of the Andre de Grasses of the world.

(01:00:00):
Didn't sprint until he was seventeen years old. Next thing
you know, he's winning metal.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Now.

Speaker 12 (01:00:04):
He's an extreme outlier, but not being in a track
club in high performance environment from the age of nine
didn't seem to hurt him too much. He did just fine,
you know. Rick Celebrini. In the third episode, he references
the sedines, which everybody here will be familiar with they
played high level soccer till they were seventeen eighteen years old.
I think that's helped them pretty much.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
You know.

Speaker 12 (01:00:26):
They they found a way to make it work. And
I think people have to keep that in mind. And
if you look at just long term athlete development, if
we want to even look at it that way, the
data all points to multi sport. It really does less burnout,
less injury as well. I think that's another thing people.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
Don't less robotch less robotch, you know exactly.

Speaker 12 (01:00:47):
Hey Rick mentioned this again, not Rick doliwill Rick Slibrini
mentioned this. He said one of the things he had
a coach tell him a bunch of years ago was
that sometimes if you look into a kid's eyes when
he's at that sixteen seventeen eight year old level, a
kid who you thought was really good, and you see
dead eyes, you know it's over. Yeah, because they are
just there because it's part of what they think they're

(01:01:09):
supposed to do. As opposed to that love for the
game and that passion that all of us have grown
up with. And it may not have taken us to
those athletic heights, but we never really lost that and
that love of sport you lose that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
I'm sorry. It's over. Better Sports Parents. Where is it available?

Speaker 12 (01:01:26):
Scott, YouTube, Spotify, Apple, those are the major platforms. Of course,
they'll be on some of the smaller podcast platforms as well,
but you can find it there. It's a video and
audio podcast. If you want to listen to it, of course,
just use your regular podcast player, but YouTube or Spotify
the places you can check out the video as well.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Two young daughters very quickly, y have, Scott, what are
you like as a as a minor sports Matah?

Speaker 12 (01:01:47):
I think I'm pretty good. But again, guys, this is
why design this podcast, because I've learned stuff all the
time and try to employ it with my own kids.
You know, I'll give people one quick tip, like, when's
the last time you asked your son or daughter why
they like the sport they're playing?

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
Yeah, you might. You might not even know.

Speaker 12 (01:02:03):
I didn't do until six months ago with my oldest daughter,
and I asked her and she told me and it
helped me frame how I watch her play.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Better Sports Parents Scott, Uh, I mean I'd love to
go on about the Canucks an alliance. We're out of
time here. Thanks so much for doing this. My friend
we'll get you back, guys. I really appreciate it. We'll
talk soon, you bet. Scott Rintel. It's called Better Sports Parents.
It made its debut on Tuesday. The best house for us.

Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
Best thing parents can do, especially in hockey, is gool.
Look at the bantam draft, Donnie. How many undrafted kids
make the Western League? How many undrafted guys make the
NHL after not going in the draft. It's a marathon,
not a spring. You don't have to be good in
Adam and Bewie and Banam. You gotta be good when
it counts at sixteen, seventeenth, eighteen nineteen.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Well, I think in Scott touched on this, how do
you measure success? And for me, measuring success looking back
now or I'm no present day because my kid made
so many friends, had learned to deal with pressure, lean,
learned to deal with authority, learned to deal with winning

(01:03:11):
and losing, and made friends for life. And to me,
that's that realistically, that's success.

Speaker 4 (01:03:17):
In memories and they learn life skills, teammate character, all
that stuff in team sports.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
The other thing to Scott mentioned as well is do
you remember this goal or that goal or this game?
You know the kids remember the hotel they stayed at.
It does in squam it shit and a fun tournament
they had, and the fun they had in the hallway.
That's that's the sort of thing they remember. Okay, let's
take a break and then we'll deal with the pole

(01:03:43):
question and talk about that. Hopefully that canucks tournament with
the Krack and prospects tournament with the Crack and on
the weekend, Donny Dolly the team.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):

poll question experience. One of Victoria's iconic destinations, sleep sip

(01:04:44):
stock Up All in one legendary spot comes since stay
at the dog, the wadling dog today, Ryan.

Speaker 4 (01:04:51):
Get her up the wadling dog poll question and it
involves Quinn Hughes and his future Ryan get her up. Right,
there you go. What's more likely to happen with the
Hughes brothers, Jack and Luke come to Vancouver or Quinn
goes to New Jersey? Sixty percent? Quinn goes to New Jersey.
It's hopping and bopping over eight hundred votes. Eight hundred

(01:05:12):
votes already.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Jack Hughes saying something to the effect I'm paraphrasing yesterday
down in Las Vegas said yeah, I'd like to play
with his brother Quinn a one day. Quinn today down
in Vegas, in a conversation with Pierre and Lebron, saying
what I think a lot of people thought when they
heard Jack's comments yesterday, that yeah, he Jack said that he'd.

Speaker 4 (01:05:37):
Like to play with his brother.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
What else is he gonna say one day in a
perfect world, he'd like to play with his older brother.
And whether or not that happens again, maybe people are
making maybe we're making too big of a deal of it,
But I think it's it's food for thought up here
in Vancouver because everybody's so worried about Quinn Hughes leaving,
So maybe maybe it's it's it's a bigger deal up

(01:05:59):
here than anywhere else in Vancouver I'm talking about. But
I think what Jack had to say is normal. Like
it It's totally understandable.

Speaker 4 (01:06:09):
And if you're the parents in the family, you've probably
talked about it. And he's got two years left on
his deal in Vancouver, DoD The Canucks can re signed
Quinn on July first. This July first coming up, so
we'll see what happens July first.

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
Meanwhile, the Canucks Prospects Showcase roster was revealed. What a
day or two ago. The Canucks will play Seattle's the
Krakens Prospects Saturday in Everett Sunday in Seattle as part
of this prospect well that is the Prospects Showcase, and

(01:06:42):
they revealed the roster. It includes Jonathan Lecker, Mackie and
Bryden coots Hey his old stopping grounds he's down in
there in Seattle, the Seattle area first round pick in
twenty twenty five, Tom Vlander, Elias Petterson, the defenceman draftsoff
is there who was good for Abatsford last year. Medvedev,

(01:07:04):
the second round goaltender, the goaltender picked in the second
round in twenty twenty five. S Mino is there as well. Rick.
I'm not sure what stands out for you, but I
know a lot of people are wondering, well, why would
you bother having Leku, Mackie and Peterson in this lineup,
Especially when it comes to Elias Peterson. He proved himself

(01:07:25):
at the NHL level last year? Why should he be here.
I've got a little theory on this, but you go ahead. Well,
one of the.

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
Reasons and there's two undrafted Vancouver Giants there as well,
undrafted not properly the Canucks. So I think the Canucks
and the Giants are working together to have a better partnership,
which is always good, But there's two undrafted giants there.
One of the problems here, don is why you see
guys like Aaron Mackie is because the Vancouver Canucks have
traded either the first or second round draft pick in

(01:07:54):
five in the last six years. This past summer was
the first time in six years the Canucks used their
first and the second pick. Do you know the twenty
twenty four dropt The Canucks traded the first, second, and
third that the guy they took up, Bounstrom, they traded
him to Pittsburgh. So Donnie, no picks until the fourth round. Fernstrom, Yeah, Fernstrom,

(01:08:15):
that's it. But this is why, this is why, Donnie,
that you are seeing the Lakara makis, because they don't
they keep trading draft picks. That's why this roster looks
the way it does.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
Well, I'm gonna go another way here, and I understand
what you're saying, but one of my takes is that
a lot of people are wondering, Oh, what's what's the
point of having these guys play, especially when it comes
to Peterson. It was so impressive. I like the fact
they got them playing because you don't want these players
to get I'm not saying this is gonna happen, but
things like this have happened in the past. Elias Petterson

(01:08:49):
had some success last year. You don't want it to
go to his head. Okay, look, I don't know much
about his character, about his personal killing great kid, but
I like that they've got him here. You know what,
You're not there yet, You're not you know, your development
isn't done yet. You still have some proving to do
even though you were so good at the NHL level,
we're throwing you on into this roster. And to some extent,

(01:09:10):
although he hasn't at the success at the NHL level
in my opinion that Petterson has with Lecer mackew as well.
I like that those players are there.

Speaker 4 (01:09:18):
Yeah, and the Coots and Medvedev, those and there new
to the organization. The big one for me, guys is
going to be Tom Hollander. And Tom needs to go
to this in Seattle, Donnie, and dominate and be in
eleventh overall, right shot defenseman? Can he make the third
pair for the Canucks this year? Out of all these guys,

(01:09:39):
the guy I got my eye on is Tom Hollander.
And let's see how he does this weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
Yeah. And here you are ripping into that twenty twenty
four draft, and yet part of it was the great
defenseman from Port Moody, Parker Alt he's going to be.
He's a great kid. You coached him that he's going
to be on this defense down there in Washington.

Speaker 4 (01:09:59):
I love the kid. I'm telling you, when you trade,
when you trade your first three picks, don it's not
good because the odds of a national Hockey League player
drop considerably after.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
Each sound like a rebuild guy.

Speaker 4 (01:10:12):
Wow, so you know what? You know why they traded
the first two picks for who is the door off?
And Lendhole? And where are they today in Boston?

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
Although you have a hard time criticizing those picks because
they had that success in the twenty twenty four players and.

Speaker 4 (01:10:28):
They take Ferns from and he's great. He's one of
the Swedish's top players at their junior camp.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
Okay, they traded them. You have some business.

Speaker 4 (01:10:37):
Oh yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):

I mean, I'm not the target audience. I'm very aware
of that. The fact it's.

Speaker 6 (01:11:39):
Stayed as long as it's like it was big for me,
Like I kind of went through the initial craze, but
I didn't get super duper into it.

Speaker 4 (01:11:46):
But I went through the initial craze.

Speaker 6 (01:11:48):
I remember getting cards, kid, Yeah, I mean, because the
initial craze is probably what.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
Early two thousands maybe or last year.

Speaker 4 (01:11:55):
But no, but now, I mean these boxes still like
it's some of the videos I cost Go partnered with
them recently, guys buying flats and flats of these at
costco to try and get the greatest cards. Some of
the cards have gone sold for insane prices.

some iced tea there, some lemonade, not enough to make
a drink for Rather, I'll mix them together. That's how
it happened.

Speaker 6 (01:20:14):
Apparently, you know, there was a thirty for thirty short
about that. It apparently was something along those lines. But
his wife made it for him, like she put the combination.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
Still creative, an invention, but to create drink iced tea
already has lemon and.

Speaker 4 (01:20:29):
Nobody you have to remember American iced tea isn't Sweden.

down it's true.

Speaker 1 (01:20:40):

cherry grenadine and coke. Have you watched the latest Quarterback? Yeah,

That's why I tried it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:58):
Yeah, that's why I'm sitting. I look it up and
I'm thinking, there's gotta be more to it. No, I
know it was cherry cola or cola.

Speaker 4 (01:21:06):
You know it's regular like pepsi or coke, like regular
PEPs grenadine. Yes, that essentially becomes a cherry coke, which
is my favorite. But yeah, when Kirk kept mentioning it,
I looked it up, I was like, what is in
this drink? And so boom.

Speaker 1 (01:21:18):

Rock and roll rick. Is it just me? All right?
Here we go?

Speaker 4 (01:22:12):
Stop the Hughes brothers talk the board media just creating drama.

he's blaming.

Speaker 1 (01:22:28):
Us and cherry.

Speaker 4 (01:22:31):
Anyways, don Dee listen to me. We didn't start this.
You could have said first hot take, first hot take.
There you go. But Don Dee's got hot takes.

Speaker 1 (01:22:39):
But we didn't start this.

Speaker 4 (01:22:41):
Jack Hughes started it yesterday, Jim Rutherford started last year,
Quinn Hughes started it this morning.

Speaker 1 (01:22:46):
We had nothing to do with that to it. Yeah,
are you done? Yeah, we're not in our rhythm yet.
Here we go. Is it just me? But this from
Jeeves and Surrey is just me? But instead of pulling
the goalie and adding an extra skater in hockey. Are

(01:23:07):
team's allowed to pull a skater and add an extra goalie? Yeah? Interesting,
Well maybe it could be like a defensive strategy if
you're if you're up by a goal. Yeah right, Hey,
nobody's thought of it. Scotty Bowman's on the show tomorrow.

(01:23:29):
Scotty Goman ask him if he ever thought that of that?

Speaker 4 (01:23:33):
We should ask Scotty.

Speaker 1 (01:23:34):
That would be outrageous.

Speaker 4 (01:23:36):
Scotty might hang up quite quickly or give a forty
minute answer. One of the two things, one of the two? Uh,
this just and I called it last year, I'm calling
it this year. The Canucks are not going to make
the playoffs. Quinn, he was gonna leave Garth in Ladner.

Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
He sounds like he should host this show. Another hot
take from Garth and Ladder saying they're not going to
make the playoffs and they're gonna lose quin Quinch gone. Okay, Dwight,
is it just me? But here's the weirdest drink combo ever,
milk and PEPSI. Fans of Laverne and Shirley will know
what I'm talking about. And that's I know I shouldn't

(01:24:13):
have mentioned that. And that's from Dwight. And when I
was a kid, and we talked earlier about about an
w last year, last yesterday's show, probably last year. But
there used to be a drink called the Cooler root
beer and milk, so pepsi and milk would be very similar.

Speaker 4 (01:24:35):
I would think, well, some people would do cream soda
and milk.

Speaker 1 (01:24:38):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
Lavernon shirty would come on right after having every Tuesday
eight o'clock, Hey, Happy Days, followed by la Vernon shirty
best one.

Speaker 1 (01:24:49):
Speaking of drinks, where did lavern and Shirley work at
a beer.

Speaker 4 (01:24:52):
Plant in Milwaukee? Yeah, you could have said anything in
the ag beer players have to evacuate. They and their
intro to their show was Smazzo Bingo.

Speaker 1 (01:25:09):
Got anything?

Speaker 4 (01:25:10):
Uh? Caprosov has cracked one hundred points only once, same
amount as eleven six Connor and Abbey.

Speaker 1 (01:25:18):
Look at look at Connor and calling Peterson eleven six?

got company, Justin andes fan Is it just me? But Ryan,
it's not a digger, it's an excavator. Yeah, I excavators.

Speaker 4 (01:25:34):
Yeah. Because there's a show. My kid watches Blippy and
they go and he does a big song all about excavators,
so I should actually know that's.

Speaker 1 (01:25:41):
What it's called. Yeah, it's a takeoff of the Lavern
and Shirley theme. What else.

Speaker 4 (01:25:47):
Here's a brother duel from up north in British Columbia,
the Gasoff brothers from Quinnell Bradon Vancouver, Bob and Saint
Louis kenn of Gary Gasov for no slouches playing their

Is it just me?

Speaker 1 (01:26:09):
But Wayne Gretzky was a multi sport child. He played soccer, lacrosse, hockey,
and ran cross country. He turned out pretty good. Martin
might remember this. There is a video remember the Superstars
competition when ABC I can't remember the network exactly would
bring together several athletes from other sports and they'd go

(01:26:29):
up against each other, running, lifting weights, things like that.
Superstars I believe, Yeah, I remember I watched that. I
watched that, did you? Right after Liver? Right after Liver?

in one hundred yard Dash destroying Sugar, Ray Leonard and
Bjorn Borg and he looks really good. And and by

(01:26:52):
the way, uh, he loved baseball as well. That wasn't
mentioned by Martin. And I know he was a very
good lacrosse player as well. Sugar rate should have won
that boxers are I'm not sure the ages they were
