Thank you.
What's up? Welcome to Canucks Talk Sportsnet 650. I'm Jamie Dodd. My co-host is Thomas Drance. Drance covers the Canucks for The Athletic as well. We are broadcasting live from the Kintec studio. Step strong with orthotics and footwear from Kintec. 650-650 is... The Dunbar Lumber text line. What's going on, Drance? Not much, buddy. How are you? I'm doing great. You excited about the World Cup? I am. I'm not. I was texting. I don't care at all. Earlier today. It like FIFA is objectively awful. Oh, I hate them. I hate Infantino. They suck.
They're horrible. You think I'm negative covering the correct organization. You should. You should. You should move full time on the FIFA beat. I don't think you're wrong.
I think that would be good. Yeah.
No, I'm actually... Yeah, the way that the last few weeks have played out and some of the compromises that FIFA's been willing to make, just the lack of guts and heart shown by an organization famous for its lack of guts and heart, the indelicacy with which they've treated a variety of people, even locally. Man... It's going to be fun, and I'm sure I'm going to get into it. That's the thing. It's still World Cup soccer, and I'm still going to enjoy watching it. The problem is, though, is you only really need three points from the group stage to have, like, a 66-plus percent. Like, even this is watered down. They've really done a good job of messing it up. Of really making me care less. Like, until...
Until the eliminations, I just feel like I'm going to struggle to get into it. And even then, I would like for this tournament to be kind of a mess. I hope people look back on this and think FIFA did a really terrible job because they're a really terrible organization and they have done a really terrible job.
I would love for it to be a reckoning of sorts for FIFA. I don't know if that's possible. No, it's not. If there's any tournament that could do it, it's this one.
Also, at the end of the day, the game's like... you know the athletes are so good yes and the purity of watching people compete for their country and what that means to individual competitors at the highest level yeah is so obvious right i mean like i have significant issues with the ioc it doesn't mean that i have significant issues with the structure of the olympic tournament yes doesn't mean that wasn't the best hockey exactly and that's ultimately what it comes down to so i'm still excited to watch these games we had no idea what the four nations tournament even was until all of a sudden we were like this is
That's the best thing we've ever seen. Oh, my God. This is incredible.
So at the end of the day, FIFA, the venue, none of it's going to matter when we're watching these guys play.
No, that's the thing. And as a reminder... I will be live on location at AJ's tomorrow for a one-hour edition of the show starting right as Canada kicks off against Bosnia. So that'll be very exciting. I'm looking forward to that. And because we're doing a different show on Friday and an abbreviated show tomorrow on Friday, we're kind of doing Friday on a Thursday. So we're going to chat with Brendan Batchelor at 1230 and then Dimitri will join us at one. So two great guests coming up on the on the show. Two of our favorite guests, I would say. Not the favorite. That's books. But two of two of our absolute. I would say probably rounding up the top three. No, no question. Yeah. So shout out to them for being on the podium.
That's what's coming up on the show. But right now, let's go to the whiteboard.
All right, fellas, let's focus up.
It is your daily deep dive into what's up with the Canucks for today, June 11th. And we'll start with the headlines, which is Ryan Johnson speaks specifically to Thomas Drance of the Athletic. You get a one-on-one chat with Ryan Johnson. I encourage everyone to go to the Athletic and check it out. And I'm curious to get your main takeaways from the piece. you want to start with mine or yours what do we want to do yeah you can tell me yours so there's a lot there's interesting you know the fact that he admits like it's a sprint and you get the sense that this has been a pretty overwhelming first month yeah for ryan johnson i thought that the way he was talking about the potential agm hire was pretty interesting very clearly going to be someone focused on abbotsford yep the way he was i thought that was very telling yeah
