Speaker 1 (00:20):
Sure what I says to an overly curved super blade.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Do Nothing Blue with John Taylor.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
I say that the winner of the draft lottery should
be the winner of a two man loose.

Speaker 1 (00:30):

Speaker 5 (00:55):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (00:56):
It all starts today, drop the puck.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
And we have the vision evidence of it starting today.
It being the Canucks twenty twenty five training camp up
in Penticton. Group C hit the ice at nine to thirty.
They have an hour long session Uh, this isn't much
to look at, but it's it's it is proof that

(01:18):
they are on the ice. This is Group C, a
group that includes just eleven players. Group A and B
probably figured this out to follow. Among those eleven players,
Tyme Mueller, Gane Breesebaugh, and Josh Bloom. Yeah, keep an
eye on more of the NHL players to come later.

(01:38):
This again, is the facility next to the v's Arena,
the Big Arena at the South Okanagan Events Center.

Speaker 6 (01:47):
Video courtesy Jeff Patterson, Canucks Army. Yeah, we were gonna
get to that.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
No, no, you weren't.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
Why are you so worried?

Speaker 1 (01:55):
We just got to give them credit. We're not there.
We were gonna get this. This This is ah.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
The the amount of things you can take out of
this video is just just I mean.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
It's soaking evidence, soaking in.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
How jaded are you?

Speaker 4 (02:11):
It's video evidence that the training camp has started. We're
in the television business. We're letting the pictures tell the story.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
What are these pictures telling the story? They're telling us
the camp is underway, many Moholt. These are the American
Hockey League, Gabby, guys, Come on, man, this is good
video there's.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
A few of them sprinkled in and Group A in
Group B.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Group A, by the way, will hit the ice at
ten thirty, whether it's the V's ice sheet or the
practice facility next to it. That Group A includes Besser,
ep Forty, Dobrask, so maybe they're thinking that's a line there.
Rick Sherwood, Myers, Dempco, et cetera.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Group A tells me that Peterson will be with Nebrask
and Besser, which surprises me. Donnie, all summer long, I thought,
you know what, stick Evander Kane with Patterson, see if
they got can change that? Yeah, I could, it could,
But I'm really surprised that they didn't stick Kane with Patterson.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
Really surprised me.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yeah, a lot of the mock rosters or lineups that
I saw did include that line Debrasque with Investor right
side Petterson. But again, things can change. I'm with you.
I think Kane makes most sense. Nothing against jabrosk.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Or Sorry, Hey, Kane played with some pretty damn good
centerment at Edmonton, Donnie, who got him the puck? You know,
he's used to playing with some pretty high end centers.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
It again, people make a big deal about lines. It's
not like the old days where you know, line stayed
together forever. It changes game to game, period to period,
shift to shift.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Group B.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Meanwhile, I will hit the ice at twelve o'clock and
that includes Garland, Hoagland Er Caine, Heronic Hughes and lanking it.
If i'm you know the Canucks, I would put Quinn
Hughes in Group A. It just sounds better.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
You're trying to keep the guy Quinn Hughes, you belong
to Group A.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, just let's just be Yeah, let's just hire his
dad so he'll stay for another eight years.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Uh, can I say something about Group B or sorry?

Speaker 5 (04:21):
Group Bay.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Tom Millander, the Canucks first round pick, is in Group
AY with Forberd. So that tells me Don that maybe
he's gonna get the first shot to be the third
pair right shot guy. There's a big battle. It's gonna
be Willander, Ellis Petterson, the defenseman, Mancini and p O, Joseph, Uh,
Pierre all Olivier, Joseph Don. These guys are all there,

(04:45):
Pierre Olivier, Joseph, they're all battling for that. That's what
I said. Po. They're all battling for that right shot,
third pair, but they're given Tom Willander. No surprise, the
first the first roun pick.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
It's not it is a surprise.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's not a surprise.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
He's eleventh overall pick formats on that left side. Yeah, okay,
you say, I understand he's a first round draft pick,
a high pick, but you're telling me that.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
I know he's left handed, playing on his wrong side,
but junior Elias Petterson doesn't belong there.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
I didn't say that. I just I'm judging. You said
it makes sense, it makes sense. Give the kid, Give
the first round kid every chanced. The Canucks would love
to see a Lander crack the opening night roster.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Dot But you know what, I I just this is
just me? Is it just me?

Speaker 4 (05:38):
But it'd be I find it hard to believe any good.
I haven't seen Tom Milander play a lot. I understand that,
but I can't imagine them him being any more impressive
than Elias Petterson. I'm standing to be corrected, and for
the Cannuck's sake, Cannock's fans sake, I hope I'm wrong,
but he just looks so good.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'm being positive.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Oh you're being positive and I am too pleasant problem
if they both look great.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah right, yeah, let's see where Willanders starts the season done.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
But you mentioned Po Joseph. He's in there as well
and others. But they're on the ice. Bottom line, the
Canucks season has started. We might focus on them a
little bit over the next six seven eight months or so.
I think so a little bit. Yeah, first preseason game
Sunday in Seattle. They play Sunday in Seattle. But also

(06:27):
the training camp will end on there's still some training
camp sessions on that Sunday. By the way, in case
Archer said, tickets for Thursday and Friday practice days thirteen
bucks each. Sunday six fifty oh and fans can purchase
tickets to Saturday scrimmage for forty dollars. Should they be
charging for this? We've talked about this before.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I don't like it. You're taking your training camp around
the province of British Columbia, you know what, give the
kids a chance to go free and watch.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
The exactly I lost forty dollars this a way, I
guess he charged something.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
I don't know they're paying for ice time. I'm not
really sure.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
They throw in parking and then food, and it's one
hundred bucks.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
I don't know about the parking, if there's a charge
for that up in Penticton, But I just think of
a family of three or four and you know, they
don't get any opportunity to see the Canucks during the
regular season, and forty bucks just seems a.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Little bit steep. Hey, we asked it. This is one
of those situations Ryan, where I can't how are you
by the way?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, good so.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
I can't remember if we had this conversation on the
air or off the air, but we were wondering yesterday,
either on the air or off the air, did theck
did the Canucks fly to Penticton?

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Or did they drive?

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Did they hit the bus for Penticton? And we have
evidence that they did indeed fly, Yeah, to pentict.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
It there you go.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
So how long is that? Was it? Forty minutes? Forty minutes? No,
hold the Calgary's fifty sixty minutes. Well, regardless they did fly,
it's a short flight down. I don't mind it. Do
you want your vets to sit on a bus for
six hours?

Speaker 5 (08:01):
Well? Bus lakes?

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Do you want them that bus lake?

Speaker 5 (08:04):
I've never heard that expression.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
You guys haven't heard bus legs.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Okay, I have it, but I just just it's a
nice uh, it's a nice drive and it costs less.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
I was a little surprised at that. I'm old and naives.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
So here's the owner who Ryan loves to rip, spending
some money to fly his vetch to Penticto.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
You thought the Abbotsford players.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
I think a lot of the other guys went on
the bus, right, I think they went on the bus.
I think they went on the bus. The it's the Vets,
you know that got the nice comfy twenty plane.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
Right, Okay, we've seen enough of this. See we get
the idea.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
Hey, you don't like shots of them coming?

Speaker 5 (08:45):
You're not interested in that video? Is Evander Kine?

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Yeah, I believe he had on a Knight's T shirt.

Speaker 5 (08:52):
What you know? You said it?

Speaker 1 (08:54):
What do you mean Nights?

Speaker 4 (08:55):
It says it said Knights. We'll show it again, the
Knights that showed again that. I'm wondering if it's the
old Penticted Knights. Oh does he he's a BC kid.
He would know the history of that of hockey in Penticton.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
You know there's Todd Myers there you go?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Can you zoom in Ryan, can you make it bigger?

Speaker 4 (09:12):
No, No, it's and I it's not. But there's no
k in there. I don't think night anyway.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
That was just me.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Our show is just off to an absolute.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Junior hockey team in penticted I understand that.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
I believe Brett Hull played for Localize.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Trying to localize.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
I did I get I did get it completely wrong. Yeah,
nice looking facility there in Penticton, much like the new
practice facility in Utah.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Oh did you see that?

Speaker 5 (09:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:44):
It was all over social media yesterday, all over everywhere yesterday.
Took just thirteen months to build. Ryan Smith, the hip
happening owner of the Utah Mammoth, promised this, and boy
did he come through. One hundred and forty six thousand
square feet multiple not just one, not too multiple ice

(10:05):
sheets that will be used by the Mammoth visiting NHL
teams and the community.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
There's a team.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
Store, locker rooms, a restaurant that apparently is like a
five star restaurant or whatever star system they use.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
There's a pool, a weight.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Room, massage you can get massages. What's the other one,
Donny this Shauna Shauna?

Speaker 5 (10:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah? The pools right there.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
Where do you get your massages.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Just listen telling people would like to know.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
And you know what else there is? There's a barber shop.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
What Yeah, they got a barbershop. Wow.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Well not just used by the players, I'm sure, but
they would imagine set aside for the player to.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
Cut their hair.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
I wish we had a thirteen months. I know you
go On bought this a lot.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
And meanwhile, we talked about it yesterday that it looks
like the connection.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
Jim Mutherford talked about it as well.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
He's been saying that for two years. Don every single.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Time that they're close, they've been saying that for two
years or two years.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Rick, he said that at every press conference.

Speaker 5 (11:13):
Well, okay, guess what.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Rutherford's not in charge of the construction project. It's the
guy upstairs.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, the construction Jack.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
They blew it.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
The Kannucks blew it. They should this should have been
done ten twenty years ago. You can't do much about
it now, bottom line, okay, but you still have to
take steps because people want the Knuck fans there's a
lot of reasons for it, but Knuck fans want to
throw that out the door. In terms of a reason
why players won't come here. I won't stay here, Rick Talcket,

(11:43):
Rick Talckett, Rick Talckett left one of the reasons why
no practice rush, Yeah, facility, no practice facility here. But
Copeland and now help me out here. Maybe the I
haven't driven by Copland and the old run up Burnaby
Lake Arena has been demolished.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
That's right, it's not your your Burnaby gudge just like me.
Uh so there's a vacant lot there right now.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah, right now you have Bill Copeland standing, but Formula
Arena and cig Barren Pool were demolished with a giant hole. Oh,
I tell you the memories that I have there, Okay,
Like it's just a no cable vision lacrosse and lots
oft Come on, you know, it's not that you wouldn't
know about Copeland Noy like Berni, Like it's one of

(12:33):
those places where you know, you go in, you go
in as a kid, and it's like, you know, bigger
than life, larger than life. You go in later in life, yes,
like going back to your elementric Yes, and it just
looks so small.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
I brought that up the last time we all had
to vote, because that's usually where you go and vote.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
Right, Elementary school yeah.

Speaker 6 (12:49):
Yeah, And as a kid, it was like a kingdom massive.
Now it's like I think I could touch the two
walls if I go, like this.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
Water fountain is about a foot off the ground.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Yeah, anyway, so maybe there's something going on with that
piece of property or viewers and listeners can help us
out beside Copeland Arena. On top of Copeland Arena, you
can add twenty twenty five thousand feet of stuff, okay
at Cole Probber shop. But Donnie, no matter, no matter
what the Canucks do, after you watch Utah, Seattle and

(13:19):
Florida new facilities, it's not going to be the same
because these are brand new. Well, like I said, that
should have happened ten twenty ten years ago. Francesco Aquilini
knows that that this move should have been.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Made years ago, years and years ago.

Speaker 5 (13:33):
They're not They can't.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
Last time I checked, a time machine is not available
to the Canucks.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
Maybe they could talk time.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
You can't go back in time. So what happened happened?

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Understand that the process is underway.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Right sure, if we've been hearing the same thing, Oh,
we're getting close. We're looking at something.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
What I just love.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
You are absolutely right, you go on and on about
this the other think you like the attention you get
from it social media on Twitter, you go on, what
are they supposed to Are they supposed to jump into
a time machine that they can't do anything about it?

Speaker 5 (14:07):
They blew it. They made a big mistake, I think.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Anyway, Okay, I don't know all the round probably I
don't know all the history, but it sounds like they're
going and look, I'm the first one to rip into
the Caducks, but it sounds like they're taking steps to.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
You can't keep saying we're taking We're going to ask you.
That was a Jim Ruththerford. I got my notes here.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Jim Ruththerfford said yesterday the same line in every press
conference since Rutherford.

Speaker 6 (14:38):
But I'm just saying what I'm back in the how
many steps, how many processes, how many meetings have to have?
Ryan Smith too much for Utah? So what so what?
He wrote a check one.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
And I'm so wrong here.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
I'm so it's so easy to buy a piece of
proper and build. Everybody knows that it's just an easy
thing to do.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
You guys are.

Speaker 6 (15:04):
Absolutely Is it easy to buy it for a Cordon
building seems to be no problem.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
No problem, condo building, no pro blew it. They made
a mistake. Now they're trying to make it there. They'll
get their practice.

Speaker 6 (15:13):
They'll get there once all the season ticket increases clear
once all that money flows.

Speaker 5 (15:17):
There's a lot of.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
Other things I'm upset about the ownership group for besides
practice facility.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
It should have been done. They can't do much about it.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
You're not counting the red tape at city Hall. These
guys make you wait months and months and months. Yeah, okay, sure.

Speaker 5 (15:34):
It'll get done. Yeah, I have confidence in this.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
You just don't know the year, but it'll get done.

Speaker 5 (15:40):

No problem. How excited are you? Can you put into

Speaker 8 (19:07):
Yeah, it's been a long time come. It's been two
months of hard work for everybody. A lot of new
people here with the Vancouver Giants, and yeah, we get
going Saturday night versus Penticton.

Speaker 7 (19:17):
Looking forward to to be back in the WHL.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
You put up great numbers with the Kamloops Blazers. So
those great Kamloops teams back in the early mid nineties. Now,
how much is Western Hockey League, Hockey, junior hockey in
general changed since you were doing that back in the nineties.

Speaker 8 (19:33):
Asked that A lot of times, I think off the ice,
it's grown leaps and bounce.

Speaker 7 (19:37):
It's much more professional.

Speaker 8 (19:39):
The players are much more prepared than with the evolution
of technology, social media, the coverage of the game.

Speaker 7 (19:46):
It's been great.

Speaker 8 (19:47):
On the hockey side, I think it's still the same.
I think the nets are still in the same place.
The fundamentals of winning are still the same. So from
that aspect, pretty comfortable getting started here.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Well, NATT four and on in the preseason, What did
you like about your club in the preseason.

Speaker 8 (20:06):
Like the energy of the group, Like the speed that
we play at. I think Parker Burgess or new coach,
wants to play an up temple speed game. I think
it fits to the type players we have here in
Vancouver to start. So I'm excited about that, Excited that
we're trending in the right direction.

Speaker 7 (20:24):
I mean, we have to be honest.

Speaker 8 (20:26):
I've inherited a pretty good team and so we try
to build off that.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
You have a pretty special defenseman and Ryan Lynn projected
to go top ten NHL draft this season. Talk a
little bit about him and what you've seen from him
so far.

Speaker 8 (20:42):
Well, a great young player, high IQ, sees the game
real well, controls puck from the back end. It's gonna
be our number one quarterback on.

Speaker 7 (20:48):
The power play.

Speaker 8 (20:50):
Extremely intelligent kid.

Speaker 7 (20:52):
Ryan's on and off the ice, met.

Speaker 8 (20:55):
His family, met his parents, far advanced in high school,
almost situated. So shows to his abilities and we're excited
to have them.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Cameron Schmidt, this hockey club last year was top ten
and goals for in the league and top ten power play,
so there's a lot to work with. But Cameron Schmid,
a lot of the offense goes through that guy net.

Speaker 7 (21:17):
Yes, it does.

Speaker 8 (21:18):
Very rarely do you find a draft eligible player score
forty goals in his draft year.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yea.

Speaker 8 (21:22):
So he's in Dallas Stars training camp right now. We'll
see when he returns.

Speaker 7 (21:27):
But sure, exciting player.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
How worried are you? And I know you've only been
in the job a short time, but you obviously saw
what happened in the last few months at the NCUBA
rated a lot of Western hockey kids. How concerned are
you about that Western Hockey League nc double A thing
that's going on in the last few months.

Speaker 8 (21:48):
It's changed the World's changed hockey for sure. I mean,
I guess in the manager, I've been doing this for
a long time. You need to be comfortable in the
uncomfortable because in our world, regardless of what at it's
always uncomfortable. So you're always worried about players coming, players going,
and it's just something we're going to have.

Speaker 7 (22:07):
To deal with.

Speaker 8 (22:07):
And I can't control what goes on in every other
club in the WHL. We can only provide the best
platform here in Vancouver for our group of guys. And
I mean people have been graduating from the Vancouver Giants
all the time.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
I did an interview the other day.

Speaker 8 (22:23):
We don't want anybody to retire as a Vancouver Giant,
and we want to promote pro hockey and we want
to get these guys to the next level.

Speaker 7 (22:31):
And so what we're going to provide here in.

Speaker 8 (22:33):
Vancouver is an excellent platform both on and off the ice,
and I'm pretty confident if we do that, then the
players are going to want to stay. And then if
we can build a group that can contend year in
and year out, I think players that come here will
We'll have a great experience. I can only go on
my example, Guys. I did four years in the Western

(22:55):
Hockey League and I grew every year and because of
that ex experience, I was ready for pro hockey at
twenty years old. So that's what we're going to try
to create here.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Nat.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
You mentioned his name, What can you tell us about
the new head coach Giants new head coach Parker Burgess.

Speaker 8 (23:11):
Young and hype Parker, but a lot of experience over
fifteen years of coaching knows this generation of players very well,
communicates at an excellent level.

Speaker 7 (23:20):
It's been a joy to watch. Motivated the whole group.

Speaker 8 (23:25):
Wacy Rabbit, Galen Patterson, young, guys that have experience in
our league. Just a lot of energy and I think
we're gonna for our fans, You're going to see an
exciting brand of hockey.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
Now from a personal point of view, you played, played, coach,
and managed in the Swiss League for two decades after
the National Hockey League. How did that happen?

Speaker 8 (23:49):
Yeah, I was a victim of the lockout in two
thousand and four.

Speaker 7 (23:53):
You know, I wasn't a superstar.

Speaker 8 (23:54):
I was up and down, and then I'd finished my
contract with the Minnesota Wild. We just I'm off the
Calder Cup Championship with Houston Arrows and it was basically
back to the American Hockey League or not play because
of the lockout, and in effect we missed the whole season.
So at the time I was single twenty seven, went
to Switzerland thinking maybe one year, two years and then

(24:18):
maybe come back once the lockout had finished. And then
my personal life, I met a beautiful girl who's now
my wife, will be married twenty years this year, and
then two years turned into eleven. I ended up retiring
in twenty fourteen with Hockey Club Lugano and stayed with
the organization and like you said, became their general manager
shortly thereafter.

Speaker 7 (24:38):
And that's been my story.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
What did you like about life? There are there's.

Speaker 8 (24:46):
Lots to like about life in Switzerland.

Speaker 7 (24:50):
No, it's been great.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
It was great.

Speaker 8 (24:52):
It's just an evolutional life, great hockey. Swiss ice hockey
has come leaps and bounds over the years. Numerous NHL
players now, the speed of the game off the ice,
a very safe place to raise your family and been
fortunate and as life has gone on, both my boys
now they're back in the Western Hockey League and so

(25:13):
as a family, we decided to make the move. This
all started about eighteen months ago once my youngest one
he was committed with Portland Winterhawks, and that's kind of
led the move to the family back to North America.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
Wasn't sure where I was going to work.

Speaker 8 (25:27):
Both my kids were brought into the league before I
knew about the Vancouver Giants opportunity, but it's been a
good fit.

Speaker 7 (25:34):
And so here we are.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
What did you learn before I let you go? What
did you learn in your four successful seasons with the
Canbo's Blazers, mostly under Don Hey, if I'm not mistaken, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (25:47):
Well, it takes a lot of work, takes a lot
of discipline on and off the ice. I'm not gonna lie.
There's a lot of hard days starting. But just what
I think in my role now as the general manager,
I learned that the structure that was in place and
the leadership that was in place from Bob Brown who's

(26:09):
our general manager, and Don Hayes, our head coach, they
had full control of the organization. And not only were
they promoting good hockey players, they were they were really
strict in promoting good people off the ice. They were
honest about school, they were honest about curfew.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
And not only I think.

Speaker 8 (26:27):
Did they raise a lot of good hockey players, they
made us meant And then in the championship years, it
was the dressing room. It was the leaders of the
players that you see now in the game of hockey
in leadership roles. When I can Darcy Tucker, Shane Dolodrome again,
Ryan Huska. These guys we learned from them and then

(26:51):
we brought it to our next generation. So I guess
to wrap it all up, what I learned is it
takes everybody takes a first leadership, which is my responsibility
now to create the structure for the organization. And if
we do that, hopefully it'll pass on to the players
and then they'll be leading the dressing by themselves.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Well, welcome back to BC Nanja. Just so you know,
when you're watching games from the press box around that area,
you'll often see my partner Rick right beside Ron Toygo
telling him what he should do with his hockey club.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
So make sure you're nice to him.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Okay, Ron's a good friend of ours, Matt, good friend,

Wal poll question.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Experience one of Victoria's iconic destinations, sleep, sip and stock
up all in one legendary spot. Come sit and stay
at the dog Today Cannucks training camp underway in Penticton.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Rick Ryan, get her up the waddling dog go poll question,
and it is very simple. Who has the most to
prove a Canucks training camp? Adam Foot ep forty that's
your dempko others and oh my no, surprise year seventy
four percent say Petterson already almost close to five hundred votes.

(30:33):
When you make eleven six and you had forty five
points like he did last year. Absolutely, unequivocally he.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
All eyes are on him, Darnie, all eyes well, okay,
but look, training camp's not like it used to be.
So to me, when you talk about the Elias Patterson
having the most approved, I would agree with that, although
I will say this, what he had to prove more
than anything else is that he's in shape, and he
did according to Adam Foot.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
But he did that during the skate test out a
few days ago.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Absolutely he did, so.

Speaker 5 (31:05):
I will give him that.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
But and when you talk about who's got the most
approved training camp, who's got the most approved this season,
the entire season, it is it is Elias Petterson.

Speaker 5 (31:15):
Doctor dempko is a health issue and change.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
The perception his practice habits, you know, not getting along
with Miller. There was so much bad with him last year.
Change that perception and you start changing that perception at
training camp.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
You wanted to show some visuals from Jeff Patterson, our
friend Jeff Patterson up in pit ticket he's.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Got the goal. He's Demp go up boy a boy
and this Russian kid out of Russia, London Knights of
the Ohl Ryan. Okay, anyways, we are you wanted. I
wanted this. This is Demp go. Good summer, no issues,
no stepbacks. This guy's in a good frame of mind.

(31:58):
Did an interview with Ian mcintarter for one since he
signed his big contract in Vancouver. He doesn't I don't
think he likes talking to the media much, but he
did yesterday and he said, I love Vancouver. I don't
want to go anywhere else. I want to make it
work in Vancouver. He could have bolted, right Donnie, after
the season as a UFA, you know, he could have bolted,
but he told his agent get the deal done in Vancouver.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Good on him, And he said in that article. I
can't believe he didn't mention this that he finally feels
healthy for the first.

Speaker 5 (32:29):
Time in a long time.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, absolutely, he's healthy. The Canucks may have one of
the best one to two tandems in the National Hockey
League with Dempko and Linka and with.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
A mass I keep using this word this week, but
asterisk there, and that has to do with Dempko's health.

Speaker 5 (32:43):
He stays healthy.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
And Patrick Alvin believes that not only do they have
the best NHL goaltending tandem, that they have the best
goaltanding depth of all NHL teams.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
And he loves the medve deaf kid. They drafted this
one of these three is Medvedev. And I'm I'm telling you,
this kid's gonna be good. This kid, is it. I
can tell you, okay, which one's met. That's Demco, yeah,
that's thirty five. On the left is Tolepilo.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
Okay, just wait, he mentioned him yesterday, okay.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
And in the middle, in the middle of the three
is Medvedev. There it is. Yeah. And I said it
the day they drafted him. This kid's a good one.
I remember that. The day he got drafted, I said,
this is a great pick. This The Canucks are going
to be really happy with this guy.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
He's good. He's good.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
We weren't on the air, no, I just said it
because I talked, are you talking about the draft? We
were on second round? It was day two. It was
day two at the draft, so we weren't on the air.
Isn't that Saturday?

Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Whatday we talked about me? He got drafted. I talked
to his agent who gave me the background on this kid,
you know, coming from Russia out of Toronto at the
age of.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Fourteen, and his agent thought he thought he was You
know that Canucks made a good pick.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
It's a good pick. I talked to other teams who
said the Caducks good pick.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
Okay, And there was a Ian McIntyre tweet that I
believe is of interest to check listeners and viewers.

Speaker 6 (34:09):
Yeah, yeah, this Indian's having a bit of fun here
in he tweeted out. And at ten thirty one am
of his first training camp session of Lias Peterson lasered
a short side snipe. That's hard to say off the rush,
small Penticton crowd at this time of day on a Thursday,
but it reacted.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
Was there a goalie that I don't know the pipes?
I don't know, right, I I always I.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
Had it funny when you see like Lea's Petterson, you
and any National likely player. They're doing drills that any
pee wee or you know, peewe, you thirteen or you
fifteen player could do, and oh my god, he looks fantastic.
It's just you can't tell anything.

Speaker 5 (34:52):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
The only the only what if he had missed the
only exception to that rule? Nineteen ninety one Palvil b
at Britannia Arena. That practice that you packed the arena
and you could tell right away.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
His first practice he was special. It was a big story. Boy.

Speaker 6 (35:10):
By the way, this is courtesy Canucks Army, because I
think you're going to pivot to another head coach if
I talk it. Yeah, but this is courtesy Canucks Army.
Your first look at Adam Foot as head.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
Coach, I thought we're going to Rick Talcket.

Speaker 6 (35:22):
Now I know, but this is I'm just putting this
in because then we're going to talk about the previous
head coach.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
But for now, this is he's talking to Tyler Myers.
That's a tough thing to do.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
Yeah, if we have time today, I want to run
the clip from that Foot yesterday talking about the style
he wants to employ and adapting to what the other
teams are doing.

Speaker 5 (35:43):
I thought that was really interesting yesterday.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
I might be the only one who thought that.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
If we have time, I'll explain myself later again, if
we have time.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
But look at this.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
He's a teacher.

Speaker 5 (35:53):
He's teaching. But look at this. Look in Philadelphia or
wherever the Flyers hold their training camp.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
At the practice for more Hoofs, which is in New Jersey.
That's what it's called. The towns called Boves or boar
Hooves or something like that.

Speaker 5 (36:09):
It's in the east.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:11):
Anyways, there's Rick Talckett on the ice with the Fires.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
And look what he's doing. He's done this with the
Canucks as well. Yeah, helping out the people who are
in charge of the ice.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
The humble guy. Only humble guys do this, Donny.

Speaker 5 (36:23):
Yeah, you notice here what he's doing. What he's meeting
pressure with pressure.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
And look at this, you know what, he's not embracing
the hard you know. But if other people see that
the head coach is doing this, they might do it
as well and help out.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Yeah yeah, okay, that's gonna be a I we need
to get somebody on from Philly because I'm curious if
he's got the big sayings on the wall like he
had here.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
You got the big what the sayings you know, meet.

Speaker 6 (36:55):
Pressure with pressure. Oh yeah, remember that got put up
down here and haul you know, because they are his slogans, right,
He's a big slogan guy. I heard one from him
this morning. Uh, I told you that he said something
this morning that he was seeing in Vancouver. We told
me that what was I can't remember. It wasn't meat
pressure with pressure.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
But he for he's township huge yers actually exactly. I see.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
I was in the neighborhood for he's a township. I
don't know you were.

Speaker 5 (37:21):
Actually I was for heaves, I said, but he was
in the neighborhood.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
Bottom line though practice facility. Oh, we're already getting a
million texts in the inbox. We're talking way too much
about the practice facility.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Okay, well it'll be a story until it's not a story.

Speaker 4 (37:39):

A farhand on his way to Penticton is going to

(38:43):
join us.

Speaker 5 (38:43):
At the top of the hour or thereabouts.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
Up next big ride the Twitter guy Donny and telling
the team won't check. We're just talking about this in
the breaks. A strange times for the Canucks, not necessarily
in Penticton or in British Columbia, but see Rick talking
on the ice with the Flyers. J. T. Millers, the
captain in New York, go back a year not that
long ago, coming off of a very successful one hundred

(39:09):
and nine point season, taking the Owners to seven games
in Round two. The Owners go on to a Stanley
Cup final just seems like yesterday. And those two key
members of that organization now elsewhere, key member of our organization,
Big Rye.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Just bizarro world.

Speaker 6 (39:26):
Yeah, truly insane. First of all, quickly are continuing updates
from training camp courtesy Jeff Patterson. Donnie will be happy
to know about this. They're now at the whiteboard learning
some drills, learning some things, teaching, teaching, Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
You can never stop learning enough for Ryan. And there's
twenty five people in attendants are happy to see them
all gathered around.

Speaker 5 (39:49):
So what did we expect the tenants wise? They're charging
six dollars.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
It's a weekday. What do you expect, Ryan, I think
it's more what Donnie said.

Speaker 5 (39:57):
No, I'm not paying thirteen dollars to see a proct
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
People got to work nine to five. I think it's
the prices you shouldn't be.

Speaker 5 (40:05):
Charging for that.

Speaker 4 (40:06):
I'm sorry, No, it's surely you know what charge thirteen
dollars for the scrimmage?

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, they see exactly.

Speaker 6 (40:14):
And we had somebody in the bayside inbox telling us,
you know, Seattle cracking free. The entire thing is free
at the facility, and look, I know, I understand it's goodwill.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
So yeah, thing like that would go a long way.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Kids, it's not even good will. It's also just like
common common cage thirteen bucks to like.

Speaker 5 (40:34):
Who came up with thirteen? Like? Why thirteen?

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Well, because whatever the cost is at the building, I.

Speaker 5 (40:39):
Understand how to divide all all of that. I carry the.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Three and there you go.

Speaker 6 (40:46):
Anyway, that's what's happening right now with Groupe on the
ice South Oklahagan Events Center. Oh quickly, So we got
talking about the Utah Practice Facility. In the first segment.
How beautiful and amazing it is. You mentioned the the kitchen,
the Michelin Star kitchen. Yeah, I didn't have the photo
at the time. I have the photo. Now, look at this.
This is the kitchen at the Utah Practice Facility.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
No, but he set the kitchen for the chef where
the guys can walk and make anything they want. Probably
the chef is a kitchen. I've seen where guys can
go in in Pittsburgh. I've seen that there's an area
where you can go make your peanut butter sandwich.

Speaker 6 (41:22):
Yeah, that's just like a lounge. Rick, that's a lounge.
This is like where they're going to be preparing the food.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
Clayton Keller is, yeah, if a guy was working the
deep fryer, the guy wants his eggs done specially, he
can go.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Why can't he go in there and make them?

Speaker 4 (41:37):
No, but I think this is I wouldn't recommend that
the players will. Yeah, well yeah, but the publican go
as well.

Speaker 5 (41:43):
Not to the kitchen but.

Speaker 6 (41:44):
No, but there's going to be concessions and stuff there,
so they'll be making the food.

Speaker 5 (41:47):
Can you make your own pie?

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Yeah? Lemon morelesk Seinfeld reference. So now you're showing us
the kitchen. Well, no, we talked about it, but we
didn't have the photo. And this is so now the
Cannuction new facility should have a kitchen like this. Yes,
all right.

Speaker 6 (42:02):
The big thing that Ryan Smith highlighted in the video
that the Mammoth played is how he doesn't want the
players to feel like they want to leave the place
like that this is their home.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
So they're here the Mammoth, all things being equal, and
they're going after player. The conducts are going after the
same player. Maybe it's the time breaker.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Could be.

Speaker 6 (42:22):
People could say whatever they want about how it doesn't
matter or whatever.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Said it did.

Speaker 5 (42:28):
It's a different world.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Yeah, well, but Rick Talking also said it did.

Speaker 6 (42:33):
I mean, remember we ran that clip of his introductionory
press conference and he slipped in the fact, Yeah, well,
flyers have what three sheets?

Speaker 5 (42:39):
I said, the facility he was on with us?

Speaker 1 (42:41):
Sorry, yeah, exactly one on one.

Speaker 5 (42:43):
Interview he kind of laughed about it.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
Practice facility was a part of Talkt's decision. Was it
the big one? No? Is it the reason he left?
It was an issue with him. That's all I need?
What one of the ingredients? Okay, so you and your
practice facility? Ryan three American born Canucks just resigned. Yeah,
without a practice facility. Garland, Bassar and Dempco didn't play

(43:06):
a role in their decision to resign, did it? And
as thank you?

Speaker 6 (43:09):
Yeah, but Rick, you just said talk it did so.
I mean, clearly it doesn't for those guys. I'm just
saying it. And look a lot of people yesterday referenced
I remember Yanni Canson telling six fifty that he was
actually fine with the practicing of Rogers because they didn't
have to learn get used to different ice or anything
like that.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
You practice where you played and everything was seamless. That's fine.

Speaker 6 (43:30):
Rodgers Arena is a very busy place though, so I
could see why a facility would be needed.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
No, absolutely, and again this is this has pressure. They
had They had a practice facility at eight Rings when
the Grizzlies around, and for them, Rodgers Arena was even
busier than it is now.

Speaker 1 (43:46):

Speaker 4 (45:26):
Well, look, I'll say what I said at the top
of the show. They would love it if they had
had to make some sort of tough decision between the
Lander and the young Elias Petterson.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
And keep a kid keep an eye on Mineo Sawyer
minio Is Sawyer Minneo Kamloops Kids, Seattle Thunderberg's got it
to keep an eye on him. I don't expect him

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Really surprised Ratu on the wing here, we're we've we've
talked all summer about switching hands.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
On the face off and it seems to be something
he's really focused on and focused on effectively. Also, we
expect to see that Peterson Myers Marcus Petterson Myers pairing
when the season starts.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
The Twin Towers. That's that's one of the biggest, uh
deep pairings in the National Hockey League. Guy, uh, donny,

So that particular.

Line you or this group, I'm with you Rick in
that I can't remember if you again, if you said
this on the air, off the air, but debrask ept Bessert,
I would rather. I think Elas Petterson needs and this
is nothing against the Nebraskan bestor they're more finishers. Yeah right,

(47:20):
I think he needs somebody that can big strong, Yeah,
that can drive play a little bit more to Caine
and not necessarily big, but certainly somebody could.

Speaker 5 (47:29):
Drive play Connor Garland with Petterson.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
That's just me.

Speaker 5 (47:33):
And again, lines change every two minutes, so.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
We'll we'll talk more as the show goes on.

Speaker 6 (47:38):
Next group on the ice eleven thirty, right, isn't it

As we head to the interior farhand logy of tsund
on his way to Connect training camp in Penticton. Thanks
for doing this.

Speaker 5 (49:11):
How are you? Where are you?

Speaker 9 (49:14):
I'm good.

Speaker 10 (49:14):
I'm in the parking lot right outside the South Okanagan
Events Center. Could you have imagined what Rick Dolliwall would
have looked like twenty five years ago when the Giants
first took to the ice, before he you know, before
he got into all the crown and all those other things, like,
you know, just just a fine up and coming young man.

Speaker 9 (49:33):
As opposed to a grizzled veteran like he is.

Speaker 10 (49:35):
Yeah, Donna, you were writing, Donny, you were writing the
prime back in those days.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
Yeah, I know, yes, I don't want to think about it.
But I'll tell you what little known fact. And I
talked about this earlier in the week. Giants first game
at the Coliseum, play by play, Rick Dollywall right there, Yeah,
with Billy Wilams. Billy Wilms, great guy, my good pal,
Ben Wilms.

Speaker 9 (49:55):
And your voice even changed by then.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
Yeah, a little bit, a little bit.

Speaker 4 (50:01):
Okay, your takeaway. I know you're in Pitticton right now,
but let's go back to yesterday. Your takeaway from yesterday's
press conference, Jim roth Theford for Jim Rutford, Adam Foot, etc.
Patrick Elvin.

Speaker 9 (50:17):
Yeah, it was good, you know.

Speaker 10 (50:18):
I mean, And the one thing with Jim Rutherford, He's
always going to be honest, refreshingly honest. Right, whether you
got the caprason or not, you're just gonna get that.
And when you've won this many Cups, you get an
unfiltered version. You don't have to worry about it. And
I think he laid out the situation the Canucks are
in as it relates to Quinn used pretty seriously.

Speaker 5 (50:36):
You know that.

Speaker 10 (50:37):
Look, we could do everything possible, we could do all
the right things, and we can win and it still
may not be enough because he might want to go
for other reasons. But at the same time, what he's
feeling this month could change next month, and a lot
of things can happen over the course of the next
two years before a decision has to be made by
Hughes So and I think all of that is fair, right,
Like we're going to continue to speculate and discuss it

(50:59):
because he's such a talent and he's so important to
the city and the franchise, and that's just part of
what fans and media do. We discuss it, and some
people don't like it. They think you should just let
the situation play out. But if that was the case,
all three of us should be unemployed, right, Like, that's
just not how the world works. And then Patrick Golvie
talking about the challenges of getting the second line center
and how it's an evolving process and they're gonna they're gonna.

Speaker 9 (51:20):
Keep attempting to improve their team as we go.

Speaker 10 (51:22):
And then Adam Foot was interesting because he was asked
about his systems and the style that he wants to
play and just him saying that, look, we want to
be adaptable. I don't want to sit here and say
I'm gonna be a you know, a dump and chase team,
or I'm gonna be a you know, defense first team
or whatever.

Speaker 9 (51:36):
It happens to look like.

Speaker 10 (51:37):
We need to be adaptable depending on what we're gonna
face night in and night out, and everyone's gonna have
to figure out a way to do that.

Speaker 9 (51:43):
So let's see what that looks like.

Speaker 10 (51:45):
You know, do you need an identity, do you need
a base to fall back on, or can you have
enough of everything in the tank that you can you
can just be that chameleon that he talked about.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
Okay, you're a coach, So what did you think about that?
Because you know, you know, so often here with really
successful teams, Hey, we do what we do and teams
react to us. But he's saying, no, we're going to
adapt and we're going to react to what the other.

Speaker 5 (52:06):
Teams are doing. What did you think of that?

Speaker 10 (52:10):
Yeah, you know, I'm mixed on it, and I think
it was reflective of what he said when he first
got hired and when he talked about the fact that
he has faced so many different types of players and
because of having to defend those types of players, that
really taught him the game and how to think the
game from the perspective of a really highly skilled player
and what those guys might do and the different challenges
the defenseman has like that on a nightly basis.

Speaker 9 (52:31):
So you know, it kind of made sense then.

Speaker 10 (52:33):
But I do think that you need something that you
can always fall back on. I do think that's important,
and I think you'll find that right and that might
be a process. You know, Rick talking last year, went
into training camp saying, we're going to work on our
transition game, you know, and if it you know, he
didn't necessarily say if it comes at the expense of
the defense, so be it. But that was kind of
the net effect, and it came at the expense of

(52:54):
the defense, and it didn't look good. And then all
of a sudden they tried to dial it back. So
I think he's gonna see what this looks like, see
where the strengths are, see who's improved in certain areas,
and then try to have his staples, as Rick talking
used to say, and what the priorities were that. Look,
we can adapt in a number of areas, but here
are our non negotiables. There are two or three things
we cannot deviate from, and then after that we've got

(53:16):
to adapt.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Okay, all eyes on Petterson. It starts today. You know, Hey,
he hates the skating test the other day and he's
you know, he's already had a shot on goal today.
I mean, are we overdoing this? Just let him play
in there, let's see where it goes.

Speaker 10 (53:32):
Yeah, I think we're kind of at that point. But
here's the thing, guys. You know, it blew my mind
yesterday when it was pointed out that this is year
eight for Petterson and we always want to talk about
this guy.

Speaker 9 (53:42):
Like he's a young guy. Yeah, he is in the
prime and he has been for a while.

Speaker 10 (53:47):
So when you talk about things like preparation and maturity
and emotions, and you know, when you talk about all
these things that you associate with a young player, where
you're questioning it because by the time you're eight years in,
all of the questions should be answered.

Speaker 9 (54:01):
You know.

Speaker 10 (54:01):
That's the challenge, right, And that's why people are always
looking because when they finally signed them, you know, a
year and a half ago to the extension, a lot
of people felt. Jim Rutherford included that this was a
weight on Peterson. The contract situation was the weight and
it was supposed to alleviate it. All it's done is
add to it. So he is playing with the weight

(54:22):
of those dollars in that contract. So I want to
see what he looks like. Okay, he's bigger six kilos Heay,
he's a's tests but let's see how much of his
scoring comes back.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
All right, huge game for the BC Lions in Calgary tomorrow.
I see some injuries popping up for the Lions. I
don't like this. James Butler, Jovin Katoy and Jirell Broxton.

Speaker 5 (54:41):
What's going on? There? Are these guys going to play? Nope?

Speaker 10 (54:44):
And I think they put out their roster today and
they're all listed as out.

Speaker 9 (54:47):
I think Gary Peters is a game time decision. I
expect him to play. TJ Lee is going to start.
Got all the reps.

Speaker 10 (54:54):
Look, this happens in football, and it happens in the
CFL where teams have less depth, right, so it becomes
a little more pronounced. And overall, I think the lines
have been relatively healthy. You know, they lost Nathan Rourke
for two games early. They've lost Dejon Allen, the offensive
tackle for the majority of the season. They could get
him back in the next two weeks, so I think

(55:16):
overall it's been pretty good from a health perspective, and
now they're finally dealing with it. You know, you look
at James Butler. It's rare for a running back in
this league to play eighteen games. That rarely happens, and
he's made it this far and he's going to miss one,
maybe two. None of these injuries are serious, but it
comes to an important time. You know, they've got an
opportunity here to stay with Winnipeg, potentially move ahead of
them and really solidify a playoff spot. So it's tough,

(55:39):
but I'm interested to see what Xander Horroreth looks like.
You know, Kieren personant poisons. I think, you know, we
kind of know what we've got there. I don't know
that he's going to set the world on fire. And
offensive line, you know, when you lose your best offensive line, mean,
that's not a great thing. But we also have seen
they're getting the ball out early and you know Nathan
Rourke's ability to see things quickly and move things long.

Speaker 5 (56:00):
So you know, I.

Speaker 9 (56:02):
Still think they're gonna be okay.

Speaker 10 (56:03):
But that Calgary defense getting Jalen Hutchings back, that's a
big deal for them.

Speaker 9 (56:07):
So it's going to be a real challenge for VC
on Friday.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
You know, there's athletes are cheer four, and I think
Vernon Adams, I think a lot of people would agree.
He's a guy you cheer for, and you know he
leaves here. You know, he got caught in the mix
with Rourke. They're eight and four. He's not had a
good year, but it is going to be interesting to see,
you know, Vernon Adams, Adams against his old team.

Speaker 10 (56:28):
Yeah, Vernon will have a ship on shoulder, and he
should because look, if you were asking me to make
the decision a year ago between Vernon Adams and Nathan Rourke,
I would have taken Nathan Rourke right. All that said,
I still think Vernon Adams is a very very elite
quarterback in this league and is capable of winning games
and capable of winning great cubs. So he has a
right to feel scored, especially when you consider the leadership

(56:49):
effort that he made going into last season. Now, the
last two weeks for Vernon haven't been great, right, Like,
he won one, lost one, but the numbers haven't been
what they were and they've been dealing with a bit
of an injury bug as well, primarily on defense. So
I think they've had a buy. I think they're facing
a really, really suspect defense in BC. So you know,

(57:10):
this is kind of the definition of a get right
game for the Calgary quarterback. Now we'll it turn out
that way or will some of the improvements BC saw
against Ottawa carry over against a better offense than Calgary
will see. But I think Vernon Adams is going to
be in every position to be better and he'll absolutely
be motivated.

Speaker 4 (57:29):
Okay, and for im before I let you go a
little NFL, does Tom Brady belong in an NFL booth?
In the Raiders booth?

Speaker 5 (57:35):
That looked really strange and not just because he was
in a suit.

Speaker 9 (57:39):
Yeah, I think it's bad.

Speaker 10 (57:39):
I do because when you when you're a broadcaster and
you get a chance to prepare and you get a
chance to get access to conversation. Look, I go through
this when I'm on a broadcast in the CFL. We
have production meetings in advance with coaches and they're all
off camera and we can get strategic information because they
know we're not going to release it. It just gives us
an idea of where to train our eyes and where

(58:00):
other storylines might be and what to follow.

Speaker 9 (58:01):
But we don't divulge that stuff.

Speaker 10 (58:03):
And if you're Tom Brady, you shouldn't be getting access
to that stuff if you have the ability to be
in a coach's boost with a headset on and even
in the off season making decisions. So I think he's
got to pick a lane here. And it's tough because
he owns part of a team and he's making huge
money three hundred and seventy five million dollars over ten years,
so you know he's gonna wind up in both roles.

(58:24):
But I think they're going to have to make some
stronger lines in the sand.

Speaker 5 (58:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:28):
I think he's the only person or only former player
on the planet who get away out with this farhand.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
Get get it.

Speaker 5 (58:35):
They're on the ice right now. Get gone.

Speaker 10 (58:37):
Let's go, Get gone, guys, they're making it harder for
me to do my job.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
You're late.

Speaker 5 (58:40):
Let's go next week.

Speaker 4 (58:43):
Thanks Buddy for ahand lology TSN And as we just mentioned,

(59:57):
and that leads to our waddling dog pull experience, one

up on one legendary spot. Come sit and stay at
the dog, the wattling dog today.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Ryan, get her up the wattling dog. Poll question, here
we go, who has the most approved at Canucks Training Camp?
Adam Foot EP forty, Thatcher, Demko or other No surprise here,
seventy six percent. Leading is Elias Petterson and nobody else close.
Adam foots next at seventeen percent six hundred and forty
nine votes. Already, it's starting to move, folks, It's starting
to move.

Speaker 4 (01:00:33):
Ilius Petterson EP forty on the ice with Group A
as we speak on a line with at least that's
the way they're shutted out.

Speaker 5 (01:00:40):
Debrasque and brock Beesser.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
Yeah, I'm a little bit surprised. I thought of Andrew
Kine would be there, but hey, the coaches call these things,
and right now it looks like Peterson, Debrusk and Besser
is going to be your top line and then Kane
with Hetel and Garland.

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
I want to I want to run this clip from
yesterday if you don't mind, guys, and we refer to
it in the interview with with farhand and that's Adam Foot,
new head coach of the Bank of a Connection.

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
We got the clip.

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
We're good, okay, just uh And I think there's surprised
a few people or it was food for thought at
the very least on the type of game he wants
his Vancouver team to play from yesterday.

Speaker 11 (01:01:20):
We want to be able to adapt against our opponents.
Like I can't sit here and say we're going to
be a rush team or a dump and chase team.
We're going to be a team that adapts to our opponents.
Make him feel uncomfortable. So there's gonna be nights where
we're gonna have to defend maybe a little bit longer
depending or be above some speed through the neutral zone.
But we're going to play consistent, consistent hockey as far

(01:01:43):
as as a unit of five, our goaltender unit six.
We're going to play as a team and I will
have the buy in with this group to be able
to adapt. Been lucky to play and some good teams,
you know with Canada and you know Colorado over the years,
playing with some great players and what I and those
great players are ready to win. They they adapt and

(01:02:04):
play the shift that's needed at that time, whether you
have to defend that shift. It's been a long shift
in your end. You got to get a quick change
and not go on the offense all the time. Things
like that. For an example, we're going to be a
team that you know, if I'm defending against the heavier player,
I got to make sure fifty percent of my body
is ahead of them at all times. Right I'm going

(01:02:26):
against speed burres on the far blue line, I got
to be aware of them so he doesn't beat us.
And so will adapt as a group. From who our
opponent we play, we will have our systems in check.

Speaker 5 (01:02:40):
A couple of things there.

Speaker 4 (01:02:41):
Number one, it's been a long time since Adam Foot
played at the National High League and I think he's
still haunted.

Speaker 5 (01:02:47):
By Pavlo Burr. Okay, So there there is that but
but also, and.

Speaker 4 (01:02:52):
I brought this up beforehand, you'll often hear coaches and
maybe this is just the stage that the Canucks are
at right now. Coaches of eight teams say, hey, we
play the way we play, and teams can well, we'll
adapt to us. But I think if you're a team
that isn't chock full of superstars, and the Cannucks sets aren't,

(01:03:13):
you have to approach things a different way. And I
wonder if that's not necessarily a shot at Rick Hackett.
But Adam Foote, I think wants to do things differently
good for him than what Rick Takin did.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
Absolutely Donnie, and he's looking at his roster done. It's
not the most talented upfront, good blue line, good goaltending,
but up front they may have challenges scoring goals this
year done.

Speaker 5 (01:03:36):
And you know, you want to adapt going into a game.

Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
And this is my takeaway from it, one of several
takeaways from that clip, But you want to adapt to
the opposition going into a game.

Speaker 5 (01:03:46):
And then it depends on the score, how.

Speaker 4 (01:03:48):
The other team is approaching its game, whether you're ahead
the game of the score, whether you're behind.

Speaker 5 (01:03:54):
There's a lot there. I just thought that was really
really interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
He was great yesterday, Adam, he was you know, he
came good.

Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
He came across really really well, and I think, maybe
to the surprise of some people, thought I thought he
came across great. Okay, we also have this Brandon Bachelor
is up in pin Tickton and unlike Farion, he's not
hanging around sitting in the back seat of a car.
Brandon's actually in the rink and he had this or

(01:04:22):
our friend Brendan Bachelor, the voice of the Canucks on
Sports that six point fifty had this to say on Twitter.

Speaker 5 (01:04:27):
Early drills are focused on getting the d more involved
in the rush.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
We're seeing a lot of transition drills with four guys attacking.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Well. The key there is you have to have guys
on the blue line that could actually do that as
opposed to just saying it. And you do have guys
like Ironic and obviously Quinn Hughes who can jump up
in the play. Even Tyler Myers, you see him go
sometimes coast to coast Myers.

Speaker 5 (01:04:52):
You know he likes to get going.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
He gets those big long legs going Donnie through the
neutral zone and the way he goes.

Speaker 4 (01:04:58):
And think the young Elias Petterson some offensive potential as well,
and from what we hear Tom Vlanders.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
Tom Weelander is a great skater. You're going to love
this kid and is skating done okay.

Speaker 4 (01:05:10):
I also wanted to mention this we're switching gears here
a bit here, but I've been in contact with Jason
Beck from the BC Sports Hall of Fame and it's
around just after eleven to twenty here, eleven twenty two.
We understand, and this story has been out there for
a couple of weeks now, just.

Speaker 5 (01:05:28):
A terrible story.

Speaker 4 (01:05:30):
But the VPD will be returning Greg Moore's helmet to
the BC Sports Hall of Fame at eleven thirty this morning.
The media is invited and Jason says, we'll be relieved
when it is back in the Hall in Greg's gallery
once again, and exhaust We've got the picture there. You go,
an exhausting couple of weeks, but feeling thankful and fortunate
for the support everyone offered to us and the Moors.

(01:05:53):
And that's who you feel the best for is first
of all the Greg Morris family, his dad Rick Moore,
who I've dealt with in the past, the whole family.
How precious this helmet is to them and to the
BC Sports Hall of Fame. So and for the creep

(01:06:13):
who took it, shame on you. But the VPD got
on it and got Greg's helmet back. It's going back
into the BC Sports Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
Why take that? And you know I had the privilege
of interviewing Greg many times and watched his career take off.
He was just absolutely one of the great local athletes
who climbed his industry did so well. You know, why
would anyone want to do something like this.

Speaker 5 (01:06:38):
I'm gonna guess money has something to do with.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
Did you mention? By the way, rest has been made
The Vancouver son moved an art.

Speaker 5 (01:06:46):
Video of it being stolen.

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
Yes, okay. They were able to trace the helmet to
a building on dun Levy Avenue in the downtown east
Side and the thirty nine year old man was arrested.

Speaker 5 (01:06:58):
Good.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
So now, I mean where that goes from there, who knows.
But bottom line is the helmet's pack. It's back where
it belongs. Business Sports Hall of Fame. All right, guys.
Check out the largest selection a sports memorabiley, autographed items,
trading cards, and collectible games in Western Canada. Pastime Sports.
Oh look at this two signings coming up lately. You

things he's yesterday. But there's still value items and there's
still I.

Speaker 5 (01:07:50):
Would get more than you. Remember.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
That is not true?

Speaker 5 (01:07:54):
So true?

Speaker 6 (01:07:55):
How many we've been back for what? Nine shows? Nine shows?
Well you you missed a week one? No, I did not. No,
you know I did not.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
You did, No, I did not.

Speaker 6 (01:08:04):
Quinn Hughes rookie card upper deck, MVP cards in the
middle on the right puck signed by Nils Hoglander, who
was that Pastime Sports last season. So this season so
far to kick it off, Garland Nebrask the Karamaki.

Speaker 4 (01:08:18):
And with the Nils hogeliner one question that people want
to well or well, we'll see it answered. When the
season started, will he be in that top six? Oh
wonder about that?

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
Two years ago twenty four goals done? And then last
year I think what did he go thirty forty to
fifty games without goal? So this is a big year
for him and his new contract kicks in too.

Speaker 5 (01:08:37):
Well, you know what we talked, some people have Garland
on the on the third line. Think Ian McIntyre.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
Did we talked so much about Pedderson? Obviously demco Obviously.

Speaker 6 (01:08:46):
He's a sneaky guy. I'm curious to see how he
comes into camp because of the way it new head coach,
new head coach, way this season ended. Remember we showed
those videos of him working his butt off in the
off season over in Sweden, and so he's again he
he's a I know he doesn't get the headlines. It's
the bigger names that get the headlines. Hoglanders won. For me,
I'm very interested to see.

Speaker 5 (01:09:06):
It wasn't the season on one off?

Speaker 1 (01:09:08):
Where's the is there going to be a jump here?
A lot of his problems would talk it were the
defensive side. Is just that you know, if you go
out there and you miss your defensive assignments. You're gonna
get in trouble with the head coach. And he never
got his confidence back and had a.

Speaker 5 (01:09:23):
Horrible has worked well with Petterson.

Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
He's the guy that went down to Abasford Donny and
worked with the Cedene twins and you know, and got
better and better. He's a really good kid.

Speaker 5 (01:09:34):

To welcoming guests back in the summer of twenty twenty seven,
going all out.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
Beautiful proof things They're gonna do it.

Speaker 4 (01:10:12):
I think I can safely say how long we've been
doing this show now? And then, actually, you know what,
when you think of DTMZ, it goes back to our
old days at the at the Funny Station at at
ten forty, a long time station.

Speaker 5 (01:10:23):
That got blown up.

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
This might be the strangest story we've ever done. During
this segment, Elton John Love Him had double knee replacement
surgery last year Rick, and not only did he get
himself some new artificial pain free joints, he.

Speaker 5 (01:10:40):
Also added to his jewelry collection.

Speaker 4 (01:10:43):
You see, Elton, he's seventy eight years old, turned his
kneecaps into jewelry pieces, a process documented in a short
film entitled Touched by Gold. Now. This report, which features
Elton in conversation with jewelry designer Feel Fennel, is from ENUS.

Speaker 12 (01:11:03):
When I have my kneecaps removed, the left one first
and then the right, I asked my surgeon if I
could keep the kneecaps, which she was rather startled about.

Speaker 13 (01:11:12):
Elton John sharing a surprising repurpose of his kneecaps. The
singer sitting down for the World Gold Council's short documentary
Touched by Gold, detailing the jewelry redesigned backstory.

Speaker 12 (01:11:27):
My Sujo sell I had the worst kneeze he's ever
operated on. That whole was actually in my kneecap. It
looks a bit like an old artifact from Egypt or something.

Speaker 14 (01:11:37):
The music icon's right kneecap becoming the brand new necklace
seen on the twenty twenty four Vify London Film Festival
red carpet as his left and smaller kneecap provided just
enough to become approach. Both now chairished additions to Elton's
keepsake collection.

Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
I gotta say, as bizarre as that story is bizarre,
I think those two pieces, the necklace and the brokes
look outstanding.

Speaker 5 (01:12:05):
No, no, they that looks good.

Speaker 4 (01:12:07):
Like if you didn't know it was a knee cap,
you know it was Elton John's kneecap where those kneecaps pin.

Speaker 5 (01:12:13):
But like, honestly you would you would probably go ahead,
that's a nice looking piece of gesta.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
If you didn't know, why would you want to keep that?

Speaker 5 (01:12:21):
Because you've got so much money, it just doesn't matter.
You'll give it a show. If you're the.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
Weirdo that has a tape of one of your surgeries
or something.

Speaker 4 (01:12:29):
No, hold on a second, I'm not the only person
I was offered I had. I had acl surgery in
two thousand and six, and they offered me a DVD
of the upper Why would you want I've never looked
at it?

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
Why not? Why? Why?

Speaker 6 (01:12:42):
Hey, at least I didn't get my kneecap, part of
my knee made into jewelry.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
This is my a c l around by the way.

Speaker 4 (01:12:50):
They baked his knee caps, after which the kneecaps were
painted with acetate like verathane, and then and polished up
a sharp.

Speaker 5 (01:12:59):
Looking piece of jewelry.

Speaker 15 (01:13:00):
No, it's not it's gross, all right, Like you make
them do that, like just something to do, I think,
But yeah, I know, I think to pretict.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
To music, like you know what I got.

Speaker 6 (01:13:13):
I got the molds my teeth molds because I had
Bracey's as a kid, right, and so they gave my
parents the molds for some reason after they were thrown out.

Speaker 5 (01:13:24):
And I'm strange for keeping the DVD. They offered me, like,
what are you ever gonna sit down?

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
And I know what I'm in the mood for watching
my surgery.

Speaker 5 (01:13:33):
I am.

Speaker 4 (01:13:35):
I am on the verge, like it's painful these days.
I'm older of getting aknee replacement. So if you do,
I'll come in with the new.

Of this, you know, it's really tough.

Speaker 5 (01:20:18):
Is it just me?

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
Or did everyone whine when talk it didn't change the

Speaker 4 (01:20:30):
Yeah, look, adjusting as the game goes on. Yeah, yeah,
a lot of traction with that with that comment.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
Is it just me?

Speaker 4 (01:20:38):
Or did Rick Talcket quit midway through shoveling the ice?
That's unsigned, by.

Speaker 5 (01:20:43):
The way, that guy, you know, I understand, I I
do guess as he left the Canucks. Yeah, he left
the Canucks. I do get it. And here's talk right here,
This bs about aw cock.

Speaker 12 (01:20:55):

There were reasons. He had, his reasons for leaving Vancouver.

Speaker 5 (01:21:07):
He didn't quit. Canucks made him an offer a lot
of people are accusing him of quitting. Well they shouldn't.
He didn't quit.

Speaker 6 (01:21:12):

a reminder four patners of Giants tickets are on the
line here for the home opener.

Speaker 5 (01:21:18):
Yeah, well, unsigned isn't gonna get it. Taka didn't quit.
He had his reasons. Everyone has reasons.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
People leave companies every day of the week. Though he's
got five million r You left sports now for crying
out loud to go to see kenaw and then you
went back.

Speaker 5 (01:21:32):
You left se kN W after two months. You don't
start That's a bad story. Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
What happened in the Grizzlies practice facility? Any chance it
could be refurbished to become the Connuction practice facility? Martin
and North Burnaby hard to skate on wood? Yeah, but
I understand what he's saying though too, because there is
a rink right beside it, don like, right across the street,
So I understand what he's saying.

Speaker 5 (01:21:53):
Did the players want to live out down?

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
What's you call there?

Speaker 9 (01:21:55):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
You? What's that called? That rink by the Grizzlies. I
used to go there all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:22:00):
They got a hotel there called the Grizzlies Practice Facility. Eh.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
The rink is right there. There's a hotel and there's
movie theaters. It's a beautiful place.

Speaker 4 (01:22:09):
I know.

Speaker 5 (01:22:10):
Are not called the capital city.

Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
It's Blockbuster. It's called Richmond Ice. Richmond Ice. It's right
at the end of Number six Road. Beautiful, beautiful end
of the drive out there. Donny Farms to the left,
Farms to the right.

Speaker 5 (01:22:22):
It's take Zarah Avenue out there, golf.

Speaker 1 (01:22:24):
Courses out there too, all good stuff out there.

Speaker 5 (01:22:26):
I want to see those firms.

Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:22:31):
Garth and Ladner talckets new message on the wall in Philly.
If one man can clean the ice with a shovel,
just think what six men can accomplish together.

Speaker 5 (01:22:40):
That's from Garth in Ladder.

Speaker 1 (01:22:42):
That's a good garth in Ladder. That's a really good submission.
I like that is it just mirrors money and greed
from the owners and the athletes wounding sports. I know
it's all about money at the end of the day,
but the competitiveness and fun for the fans is getting
sucked away. Money talks, but the traditions are getting spoiled.
Very frustrating. Davis and Langley, I.

Speaker 5 (01:23:02):
Missed have started that.

Speaker 1 (01:23:03):
Give it to me again, is the money and greed
from the owners and the athletes winning sports? I know
it's all about money at the end of the day.

Speaker 4 (01:23:11):
You know that conversation gets brought up a lot. Yeah,
I think sports is more popular than ever.

Speaker 1 (01:23:17):
Oh it is.

Speaker 4 (01:23:18):
Maybe that's because of social media, I think. I think
for a lot of us, people are fascinated by the
amount of money these guys make.

Speaker 5 (01:23:26):
They want to see what they're up to. Yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (01:23:32):
Don't think it's ruining it. I think it might be
the other way around. It's because you know, I find
with sports these days, when it comes to the money
and the contracts they get and then negotiating that goes on.

Speaker 5 (01:23:44):
I think for a lot of people that's more fascinating
than the actual games, the actual competition. That true sports
is bigger than ever.

Speaker 1 (01:23:53):
Lucky for us, you know, and they're billionaires now, the
owners not millionaires, don't and the players are not making
twenty fifty years crazy.

Speaker 5 (01:24:00):
Heather and Sydney.

Speaker 1 (01:24:01):
Is it just me?

Speaker 4 (01:24:02):
But the Talcket era in Vancouver is over. Who cares
what he's doing in Philadelphia?

Speaker 5 (01:24:07):
Not me? Move on, people, you're guilty of bringing you
brought up.

Speaker 1 (01:24:12):
I told you there's a video of talk At scooping
up ice and you were just jumped in the air.
You were so happy.

Speaker 4 (01:24:20):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (01:24:20):
Talkett did a lot of good stuff in Vancouver. You
know it's okay to talk about the guy. Hey, Ryan,
you say that, who cares making the playoffs every year?
So would you be happy if the Canucks win a
Cup then missed the playoffs the next ten years? Corey
and Nelson BC, that's a good one. You can't get
to the Stanley Cup without making the playoffs first, Ryan,
I mean that's what but he asked that question.

Speaker 4 (01:24:44):
I'll take the cup and missing Tech has a long
time bring the follower of the Vancouver Canucks, and I
am a fan.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
I have business.

Speaker 5 (01:24:51):
I was a little kid, little Donnie, I would take
a cup.

Speaker 4 (01:24:54):
Especially the stage of the life i'm at. I'll take
a cup and then ten years of missing the ten years,
I'd be okay with it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:00):
Ein said yesterday, I don't care if they make the playoffs. Well,
how do you get to the Cup without making it
their first year?

Speaker 5 (01:25:07):
Talking about draft picks and things like that.

Speaker 6 (01:25:09):
I'm talking about have a team that looks beyond just
making it into the playoffs.

Speaker 5 (01:25:15):
They take.

Speaker 1 (01:25:16):
The Canucks talk a lot about making the.

Speaker 6 (01:25:18):
Playoffs like that's the accomplishment, and rarely do the teams
get into the playoffs and then go on a miracle run.
Usually it is the two best teams standing at the end,
or the third or fourth best team, but it's the
top teams that are standing at the end. Outside of
the LA Kings. What and the Saint Louis Blues that
turned it around at Christmas and went on around and

(01:25:39):
the Kings.

Speaker 5 (01:25:40):
The worst thing that could happen for a lot of
teams is that St. Louis.

Speaker 1 (01:25:44):
That's it. I mean, that's the worst team in the
league in January and they wont like, literally what the
only time that's happened in league history.

Speaker 5 (01:25:50):
It's the one that got brought up all I know,
I know, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:25:53):
Previous owner John mccaughy had a jet for the Canucks
in a hyper barrick chamber. That's how you run a
sports franchise.

Speaker 5 (01:26:00):
I don't remember the Canucks having a hyperbaric chamber.

Speaker 1 (01:26:02):
It was the state must have no no Doune he
was out at UBC. I'm pretty sure it was. Didn't
they have a hyper bearer a UBC. But I don't know,
I don't remember McCaul. It was a big thing.

Speaker 4 (01:26:13):
Trust me, I know it well because a lot of
the members of the media, including myself and bmac.

Speaker 1 (01:26:20):
I don't even want to a bit this.

Speaker 5 (01:26:22):
We invested in it really Yeah, Wow, didn't go well.

Speaker 1 (01:26:29):
Mccaue did have a jet, he did. He did buy
the invest in that, yeah, he did.

Speaker 5 (01:26:33):
He spent a lot of money. He lost the one. Well,
I'll tell you what, Eric Cannuck.

Speaker 4 (01:26:37):
As a matter of fact, and I don't know if
this is still the case, but a few years ago
when I was coaching minor hockey, we went down to
Everett for tournaments and we toured the boining factory and
air Cannuck's there.

Speaker 1 (01:26:48):
Yeah, because he was from Seattle. McCall and his right
hand man, Stan McCammon was there.

Speaker 5 (01:26:53):
There there you go. But that that and you know
Airic Cannuck was there. Obviously it's been grounded. It's there
for you to look at. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:27:00):
Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (01:27:01):

That's it for pictures, right yep?

Speaker 5 (01:30:13):
Yeah? MTB.

Speaker 4 (01:30:14):
Sam, Is it just me or that's not how you
support your local junior team by asking for free tickets
and sitting in the owner's suite, support them by actually
buying the tickets hashtag don't.

Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
Be side by tickets all the time. I go to
the Surrey Eagles game, I go to junior b games,
I buy tickets. Are you kidding me? Davontaves was playing
in Surrey nineteen ninety four, No, not ninety four, but anyways,
he's a ninety four born player, Donny.

Speaker 6 (01:30:41):
I used to go watch him play all the time
because because your kid was playing it. Oh, my buddies
kid was playing, So there you go. I support junior hockey.
I love junior hockey's twenty million years.

Speaker 1 (01:30:50):
You're gonna say, by the way, Davante's ninety, he's ninety playing,
or he's ninety four born, and my buddies kid was
on a Surrey so I'd go watch him play all
the time.

Speaker 5 (01:31:00):
That's as interesting as Ryan's ball hockey story.

Speaker 1 (01:31:02):
You got anything. Tom Mallanar did not look good in
the prospects games. He probably needs some time in the
American League like p D Junior did last year. Colon Colmos,
I go. It was one game. It was a weekend
in Seattle. Give Tom time, old, give off time.

Speaker 5 (01:31:19):
Give Tom ty the one who's giving him that third.

Speaker 1 (01:31:23):
It's part of the third defensive. You can't judge a
poor kid on two games in Seattle. Come on, you
haven't seen him play.

Speaker 4 (01:31:29):
Maybe you did with Toygo. I'm not sure, and you're
saying he should be on the third parent. I'm saying
give him some time. CONNECTS Training camp continues. Thanks so
much for tuning in, folks on bealf of Ryan Derek Rick,
everybody here at Oh boy in check.
