TMIW but this sucks! Memo to: the listeners and colleagues. thanks for an amazing run. Your words today are appreciated more than you know, thanks for taking the time to write and call. I love what I do, and I’ll be around to annoy you, and
@mattsekeres
, before you know it.
There is zero reason for the Canucks to play another hockey game. Especially with actual illness versus a asymptomatic cases. Nothing at stake, there’s no time to reschedule a few weeks worth of games, so just end it. Let everyone get better and ready for next year.
Bedard and McDavid use pride tape in the opening night warm up.. please make it so. I’m desperate to see the NHL do a damn thing about it. Elias and Quinn are more than welcome to join in. “Hockey is for everyone” right?
You're not less of a Canucks fan for admitting they were wildly outplayed.. i don't know why people are so defensive on this.. They have amazing stars at every position to build on, and apparently that includes a goalie. Bright future, but work to be done, and that's ok!
This.... did not go according to plan. A) All I had was an IPA
B) I was blinded early on and couldn’t find the opening
C) I was laughing
D) I’m old

lol... Among countries over 10 million people, Canada is 5th in the world in vaccinations, you can dine, exercise, travel. And hospitals are emptying out. Yeah.. Pack your shit and return to wherever you were
Folks…been in Canada 4 days..what an embarrassment..border is a joke..airport is a joke, handling of COVID is a joke. Lazy, useless tits. Zero helpfulness, zero drive. Trudeau & his cronies have turned this country into a laughing stock. Proud to be Canadian? Not right now.
When my kids were small I remember thinking “i can’t wait for their games to look like actual soccer or hockey”... Now they do... and after just driving by the soccer pitch and seeing little tots running in a crowd and staring at trees, I kinda want it back. 😢 Enjoy it all
Guy in the ferry lineup just rolled down his window to ask me if I’ve “gotten any better at shotguns?”.. this may be harder to live down than i expected
Would like to pass on my deepest condolences to the Botchford family. There are no words to express the right amount of sympathy towards his wife and young children. He will be greatly missed by all of us.
After 20 minutes is here! Canucks trail the Flames 1-0 after 1.. I’ll be calling
@patersonjeff
to break it all down. Open your windows and shout any questions or comments.
We went from 2 sports radio stations to half of 1 in a matter of months. Toronto doesn't care what happens outside of Toronto. Still a full slate of shows there on 2 stations.

I was glad to hear Benning say that the Canucks head coaches are working with the players on improving the PK. I was worried they were binge watching Downton Abbey
Guess what news you're going to wake up to tomorrow? Vancouver is back in the World Cup 2026 bid. Officially. Doesn't mean they have it. But they are officially a "candidate city", and will likely find out in June if they've been chosen. One step closer to the WC at BC Place
He's totally fine to talk about Canucks twitter and Canucks fans even (that will only have natural consequences in his mentions), but when he targets the club at large and then says they were "absolutely dusted" after a narrow game 7 loss, he risks his needed credibility
@CandiceMalcolm
LOL, do you read? Conservation officers shoot the bears.. Not residents.. Yes, here is North Shore. Speak on things you know of, like exclusion and Muslim fear.
There’s no “misquoting”. We have the audio and have run it many many times. He said what he said. And there’s really no misunderstanding his intention. He’s free to regret saying it. But he shouldn’t. It’s sports, they’re rivals, who cares?
Drew Doughty, on his comments in Vancouver: "The guy's an idiot that made all that happen. What I was trying to say there is they're a young team, we're an old team, and we lost the game like 8-1 and that's just ridiculous for a veteran team. Just standard people making it run."
Top 2024 NHL Draft prospect Macklin Celebrini on the Canucks “Oh, yeah. I’m a big Canucks fan.”
I brought up that the Canucks aren’t rebuilding and won’t likely be in the range to draft him, and he replied “Well, I think they should be in a rebuild phase. I love the team.”
Horvat is probably not getting enough credit for his season... different wingers every night, all of them non-elite, and he's flirting with a ppg and 30 goal pace..
People seriously are cheering on the fact they traded L. Eriksson's deal for a new contract that is basically a reset of that same deal but with 1 more million per? That's the good news here? Really? Man, the willful ignorance is crazy
And you think maybe that Croatia beat Canada because they're good? end of story. They finished 2nd last time.. 2nd in the world. they;'re just good. That's why they won.. Not cuz coach said a bad word
Soooo... have you heard? Like literally “heard”? Sekeres and Price is coming back soon. And we had a short chat about it. Longer chats coming! Apple link is below, but find it on your favourite pod platform! And yes,

This Maclean-Bettman interview stuff is the product of the new media age. You don’t get rights, and then do what you want. You pay for the rights, and now do exactly as the league wants. It’s effectively an in house production.
Full trade:

Condition: 2025 1st unless VGK trades it this deadline, then 2026.
Condition: 3rd upgrades to 2nd if VGK win one round in ‘24
Hey that was a fun run. The Canucks re-engaged us. But if the Canucks can do business in the next 30 hours, then they should. I don’t see a way they make the playoffs
Just to be clear. Twitter is merely a sharing of thoughts and ideas. Unless you see me tweet in all caps, I’m neither outraged or upset or worried. I have 4 kids, and they will always be the exclusive domain of my excitement and worry. The transactions of a hockey team? Never
That skate logo is everywhere. Name plates, renovated dressing room has black seats not blue.. the wood is an orange hue… i think they’re going full time next season
Crazy. Markstrom, Toffoli and Tanev reach free agency, and will see all other offers. OEL deal may indeed be dead, and the Canucks still have every single one of their bad contracts. If Benning extracts himself from this, it’ll be quite a manoeuvre
Zadorov when asked about the damage from the Hyman cross-check and why the league isn’t protecting him then:
“I guess I don’t make that much money for the league…” 😂
Nikita is just 24/7 entertainment.
