My one man play. Yeah. You know what? There's a few there's a brief window during the summer where the sun gets out early enough. And if you time your wake up, there is it's really peaceful and really serene in the morning coming in that you don't mind waking up. But outside of that, it's horrible. Let's turn our attention to the article that you've got up at Sportsnet.ca right now.

0

185.295 - 193.557 Mike Halford

It's been heavily parsed through by all of the hosts on the show, including us yesterday when it went live. I do want to start with...

0

Chapter 8: How does the culture within the Canucks affect team performance?

193.537 - 217.582 Mike Halford

And Jason, this really warmed Jason's heart yesterday. The quote from Henrik Sedin that not only were there rebuild plans in place before they took over the presidential role from Jim Rutherford, but an acknowledgement from the highest reaches of the organization that what they had been trying to do for so many years, it just wasn't working. And it was time to try a different way.

0

217.642 - 219.945 Mike Halford

What was your reaction when you heard that, Ian?

0

220.946 - 250.393 Iain MacIntyre

Yeah, well, I... The premise of the interview, the reason I wanted to talk to Henrik in the first place was, why are you guys doing this? It seems like a simple thing. Why wouldn't you want to be a president? But these guys are hockey hall of famers. We know how important their families are to most of us, how important that is. There was this idea they were going to go back to Sweden.

0

250.433 - 279.383 Iain MacIntyre

They've had great lives. They live in a great place. why would you take this on knowing what you know? And it's because when the, uh, I guess it was Francesco who reached out first, but when ownership approached them, they, they told the Sedins rather than the other way around, we want to do a rebuild and the Sedins really wanted to do a rebuild as well, but they needed, that was the message.

0

279.802 - 305.623 Iain MacIntyre

that convinced them to become co-presidents. It wasn't fame and more fortune because they don't care about fame and they don't need any more money after the careers that they've had. It was the idea that ownership now actually wants to do this, which is what the Sedins, for a while, have thought the Canucks needed. So they went from a place...

306.059 - 328.943 Iain MacIntyre

where they weren't even sure they were going to be part of whatever comes next to now they are in charge of it. And because they care so much about, uh, the Canucks brand. And because I think, and, and Henrik didn't tell me this, but you know, there's a lot of people who have been, uh, appalled is one word.

329.204 - 339.016 Iain MacIntyre

Maybe it's too strong, but there's a lot of people who have been appalled at what has happened. to the Canucks and what has happened to the culture.

339.236 - 360.366 Iain MacIntyre

And I think given what I know of them as, as players and people and, and that they were the ones who set this culture during the, during the greatest period in franchise history, which feels like a long, long time ago now, but I think they, they sort of felt personally that,

360.734 - 384.143 Iain MacIntyre

responsible uh not for its erosion but they feel like uh you know that that's part of the team that they feel empowered to to try to restore and the fact that they're they're going to be able to work on that culture while the team is rebuilding uh close close the deal for them
