I'm well, boys.
How are you doing? We are well. Lots to unpack from yesterday.
Did you enjoy the Arsenal parade for losing to PSG? That was a bit of a surprise that they had a parade after the start there.
First 10 minutes were tough, and then after that, we forgot about the Champions League, boys. We're champions of England.
I've got a question for you. As a supporter and an avid supporter, Does it bother you at times the way Arsenal addresses these specific matches where there's a lot on the line and they really don't do anything of significance?

Chapter 2: What is the significance of Manny Malhotra being named head coach?
get a bit of a rhythm but it was a tough start for that team and there was a couple of you know what a 10 game losing streak um but he still was able to show his strength right and one of the key ones i think that's going to be really important for him over the next couple years is staying calm and being able to communicate and you talk to any player that's played for him the ability to a stay calm you know stress accountability within your team and guys to communicate that because
In any managerial situation, if you don't communicate why you're making a decision, there's a lot of questions, there's a lot of animosity that can develop. And for pro athletes especially, even on that Calder Cup winning year, there were some tough decisions.
You had the scratch players in the playoffs, and you have to have a clear communication of why you're not playing versus somebody else in that lineup. So I think with Manny, certainly the foundation is there.
for this group because there are going to be days where you're going to maybe get spanked on, you know, you know, hockey in Canada, or you're going to get spanked, you know, in a midweek game and you got to keep your head up. You got to make sure that your shoulders are back and that you are confident going into the next one because you're not playing for right now.
You're playing to become a better team long-term and you need a coach that thinks that way. We always talk about a developmental coach versus a coach that, here and now, you know, that's trying to win. And for the first time in a lot of years, guys, as far as I can remember, the Canucks finally have a developmental coach and we'll see how that works out.
But I think, you know, he's got the right mentality for it.
What did you think about Ryan Johnson's comments about the captaincy, not just the C, but also the A's?
Yeah, I love those comments because it's, I feel like that's what the market has been saying essentially since this conversation started, since Queen Hughes got traded, where To borrow a line from my favorite trilogy, although Godfather 3 was terrible, but our true captain has yet to reveal his face. That's essentially where the Canucks are at right now.
You're not in a situation where you see a clear-cut leader, so why would you force it? If you're going to force it, there's no benefit here for a developing team. You don't know what the roster is going to look like in a year. There's probably...

Chapter 3: How does Ryan Johnson's management style differ from previous regimes?
How does Abbotsford fill out? They're going to have to restock an entire organization, basically, with Ryan Johnson being elevated, with at least one coach being elevated, and there's no guarantee. guarantees on that coaching staff that we're in Abbotsford. Are they sticking around? Is the new GM going to bring folks around?
And you also have to kind of also restock the cupboards at the NHL level a little bit as well. You need an AGM who will take care of Abbotsford. So outside of that, I think it is the draft at this point in time. This is going to be a major decision. I'm curious, not so hear a little bit more trade chatter of is San Jose potentially going to move down?
You know, would Toronto consider moving down if they need more pieces? Like, I don't think it'll happen, but Jason, that's something that would drastically change the Canucks fortunes in the sense that right now you can kind of pencil in certain players to go one, two, but you know, imagine an other party jumping up into the top three and San Jose or Toronto move down.
That changes the draft altogether. So I think this draft is going to be
as probably eventful as the last one was kind of not uh you know i think the potential for trading down for one of those two teams is real so for vancouver it's going to be you know get your draft board get your draft list ready and you kind of have to see what happens around you i don't think this is a team that's going to move up or down but the ones ahead of them they could shake up the draft big time do you think mckenna's a lock to go first i don't i think the stenberg
conversation is real i think he's somebody that has been touted as being a potential one whether it's you know the odds are still highest for mckenna but i think there's certain teams that really like iver stenberg and you know the more you talk to people in in the league and and there's people that are saying hey you know uh if my team was in that um you know in in that top two pick
We look at Stenberg, which is when you start to hear that once or twice, that's one thing. When you hear it multiple times, that tells you that it's
I think McKenna's certainly got the higher odds, you know, what he brings, the dynamic skill, but Stenberg, certainly, there's a lot of fans of him, so I don't think McKenna's a lock at that number one position, and I do wonder what the Leafs, you know, look at.
If they're looking for a game-changing talent, obviously there's marketability with Gavin McKenna in Toronto, but if you think that Stenberg is a better player and he might Especially with Austin Matthews potentially out the door in a couple of seasons, if not less.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Canucks' coaching staff changes?
They're ready to give you the financial fresh start you deserve. Visit them at sands-trustee.com. We are in hour three of the program. It is what we learn time. Hour three of this show is brought to you by the B.C. Construction Safety Alliance. Making safety simpler by giving construction companies the best in tools, resources, and safety training. Visit them online at bccsa.ca. Not bad. Not bad.
We got some what we learned from our side of the table. I'm going to start. According to Darren Dreger, Jonathan Taves is likely retiring from the National Hockey League. Jonathan Taves, of course, who came back this season after a multi-year exit from the National Hockey League due to various health concerns. At 37, now 38, suited up with the Winnipeg Jets. It wasn't exactly.
What's that gesture? Was it too flat for you right now? It was a little flat right now.
A little flat for you right now?
I'm sorry. See, it's called changing your cadence. It's a little thing us radio professionals do sometimes to bring it up and then bring it down.
Oh.
Because it's a somber time when we're talking about a retirement.
Okay.
Of a proud NHLer. Okay. He did play in all 82 games this year.

Chapter 5: What challenges does Elias Pettersson face under the new coaching approach?
They're going to have a grand opening soon.
Yeah. They don't want to spoil the surprise.
Yeah. It does look cool though.
The amphitheater looks great.
Yeah. I still have a dream about that entire P&E thing just being redeveloped into like a sports and entertainment mecca. I have a dream. I do have a dream. It's a little different, a little lesser than his dream.
Different. Slightly less important.
Slightly. I mean, it's going to take a while if they ever do it because they need better transportation out there, but I think it would be awesome. Basketball, Phil, what we learned. Jason's dream is about gentrification. Kind of different. I would like to move everyone out of here so we can watch sports.
I have a dream of high-rises and restaurants.
I have a dream of mixed-use development. Some residential. Some retail. Maybe some office. I don't know. Multifamily, that is my dream. God, he's so inspiring. Basketball Phil, speaking of developments, what we learned, the Stars and the Mavericks are both getting their own arenas. The Mavericks will still be in Dallas while the Stars will be playing 30 minutes out of town in Plano.

Chapter 6: What factors will influence the Canucks' success in the upcoming season?
But there's not. There's an intent to do a non-binding deal.
Just read another one.
Greg in Pitt Meadows, what we learned, my hockey pool has 12 members. Only one is excited for this final and watched last night. I'll be fascinated to see what the NHL ratings are. Well, they might go up after last night. It was a terrific hockey game.
And there's a lot of people, by the way, and I appreciate this and I recommend this because anytime someone on the radio has a bad take or is wrong, you should call them out. Throw it in their face. And here's one from Buck Baker with what we learned. Brough has bad takes just like Halford.
First game was outstanding in the Stanley Cup playoffs, Stanley Cup finals, and was not a 2-1 snooze fest as per Brough's prediction. I don't know if I said 2-1. You mean I have bad takes. Well, you do. Buck Baker then adds, Carolina is not a boring team. Okay. First of all, it's one game. Yep. But it was terrific. It's a great game.
It was a great hockey game, and I hope all the games are like that. You know, Vegas is not Montreal.
Yeah.
Vegas can do things that Montreal was not able to do, and that is maintain possession in the Carolina end. Helps. Or just maintain possession in general. They're bigger, stronger. They're more veteran. And, you know, they... Man, they did a great job to come back in a really tough environment last night in Carolina. But it is interesting that... That's, you know, my theory of too good too early.
That's twice that Carolina has proven that there's something to that theory because remember in game one, they scored very early against Montreal and then Montreal came back and blew the doors off them. And then they score very early. They scored two goals. Yeah. Both by Ehlers and Vegas was still able to come back.

Chapter 7: How are the Canucks preparing for the upcoming draft?
Right? Like, the Super Bowl was hard to do. Remember when they called it the big football game? Oh, of course. That's tough because the Super Bowl is a pretty unique, defined term. But this one, just the amount of things you can take. We're having a world soccer show. Like, no one owns those words. Like, you can do whatever you want with them, right? FIFA has trademarked world. Yeah, you can't.
You can't trademark the world.
You can't trademark, like, countries.
No.
You can have, like, go Canada. 100%. And then have a soccer ball. No, actually, we own the country. You guys signed it off to us.
The big Canada soccer game. Yeah, that's exactly it, right? Speaking of Canada, do you see this giant Canada flag? I don't know why I'm pointing that way, because I don't know where the mountain is.
And it's radio, so no one can see me. Is it in the office?
Do you see there's a giant Canada flag on Grouse Mountain? Why not sideways? Well, they got to fit it on the cut. Do you know what they're doing?
You're also not pointing to grouse. I know. That's why I'm like, I don't know. Is it on Mount Baker?

Chapter 8: What did the hosts learn from the recent sports events and discussions?
But he loves takeout. He loves Indian. He loves Chinese. He always does takeout. That's his shtick? And he's known for having these really elaborate orders. And it's kind of become a thing where like the way that he, he like conducts an order, like an, like a maestro would conduct an orchestra. What's the guy called at the front of the orchestra? Yeah. Thank you.
I'm doing the thing with my hands.
Holy God. Burnaby education right there.
He does it with a cadence and a confidence that, you know, when you're ordering, sometimes you stutter, you stammer, you don't know what you want. Now he's kind of expanded. He was at a French restaurant, and he didn't order entirely in French. People love that he's this big, heavyset guy, and he's got this confidence when he orders.
This clip is, I guess, he's memorized from his local Chinese takeaway, like the entire menu. He rattles off the amount of Chinese food dishes in 30 seconds, which apparently set a Guinness record. Here's what it sounded like. Go.
Egg fried rice, chicken fried rice, pork fried rice, special fried rice, Singapore fried rice, Singapore rice noodle, plain charming, chicken charming, pork charming, beef charming, chicken balls, prawn balls, pork balls, sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour prawn, beef in black bean, chicken in black bean, pork in black bean, roast duck Chinese style, roast pork Chinese style, chicken Chinese style, crispy aromatic duck, seaweed, sesame prawn on toast, spicy pork, mixed hors d'oeuvres, chicken and sweet corn soup, chicken noodle soup, hot and sour soup, prawn crackers, chips, salt and chilli chips, salt and chilli chicken balls.
Salt and chili, pork. Wow. Wow. Wow. That, to me, sounded very quick. I feel like I might have done it just. In your attempt today, you achieved 40 menu items in 30 seconds.
You know, England used to rule the world. What happened?
I would love to be a Guinness World Record person that worked for them and just going around the world and having these people set these records. That'd be awesome. I'm going to cut you off because I love... His name is John Fisher, by the way, but Big John. I will watch. I thought it'd be faster. Sorry? I thought it'd be faster. You need to watch it.
