Halford & Brough in the Morning · The Canucks Are Actually...Rebuilding? · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

Now, I know we're a pretty sarcastic show sometimes. voice-verified

But statements like that, especially when I actually believe them, mean something to me. voice-verified

I care about the Canucks too. voice-verified

And I care about all their fans because their fans are our listeners and I want good things for them. voice-verified

I know this isn't like a Disney movie and I know the Canucks aren't going to win a Stanley Cup just because they have good guys that care. voice-verified

So please, this thing isn't going to just turn around on character and being a good guy. voice-verified

Talent is going to be a big part of it too. voice-verified

But this management group is going to need to be smart, creative, and maybe even ruthless at times to get to the point where they can win a Stanley Cup or compete for one. voice-verified

They'll need the right resources from ownership. voice-verified

We're going to be monitoring that. voice-verified

They'll, you know, to put it one way, they'll need to invest more than just their feelings. voice-verified

Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. voice-verified

You know what I mean? voice-verified

But this is all very refreshing to me because I think, or I hope, we all understand that last season was not just a bad season, A-Dog, in a vacuum. voice-verified

It didn't come out of nowhere. voice-verified

There was some bad luck, sure, some injury luck, but it was mostly a culmination of years of short-term thinking, letting standards slip both on and off the ice. voice-verified

I think allowing a siege mentality to build in the organization where they felt like everyone was out to get them and any criticism of the organization was just the market. voice-verified

It's a tough market. voice-verified

And finally, undervaluing the importance of character. voice-verified

And I think they're off to a very good start in turning all those things around. voice-verified
