What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
to care some price from the historic wall center patrick johnson the calmness with post media i read you in the vancouver sun today though i always say the province but of course sometimes it's in the sun as well it's always in the sun but yeah okay are you telling me it's every single thing you file goes into both papers every day is that how it works
And now he can't even say that it's the tabloid format or the vertical format.
Let's not bore the masses. Let's not get into this. Let's not get into this game.
Blake, there would have been a time, and I've written for both, where that would have changed the type of lead you would write on a story.
Oh, absolutely. Listen, to be clear, I write a province headline and a province lead.
Okay, so three-syllable max. I write it.
Gotcha. I still use big words, but the takes are aggressive.
So then who decides whether to pump it out – Who decides whether to pump it out on the Vancouver Sun social media channels or the province? Do they talk to each other? Because more often than not, I see it. I see the province or the province sports is pumping out your stuff on its social media channels. But today it was the Vancouver Sun who was pumping you out on the social media channel.
Yeah. It's all one big pile.
So both of them pump out your stuff on all their channels.
It's all one group of people, one big group of... Is it competitive to get published on the social media channels?
Like, are you fighting with the rest of the province and every single story gets... Here's the truth, guys.
On the Nazi site, if you put a link on the story, that downgrades the post. So there's no traffic like this is the thing there is. I mean, maybe there is for video, but there is no traffic to text based links off that site anymore.
So gotcha.
Anyway.
I mean, it's nice to say we're talking about that because Manny Malhotra is not the head coach yet. So, you know, we wouldn't be talking about where your tweets are coming from. Well, this was a draft.
This was a draft tweet to be fair, but yes, if, if Malhotra was the man that we would.
Yeah. Radio silence for me, um, for me, like I just poked around with someone just before the show, it's just, nobody's hearing anything. Um,
Are they low-balling him, Peach? Are they trying to get him to accept the lowest salary of the 32 NHL head coaches?
I would have no doubt that there's a question of money involved in that, but I don't actually know that for sure. I do find myself wondering a little bit if the draft question is driving their thinking, as in who do we rather have, the coach or the son?
But Henrik says he's got no problem with that. Yeah, that's fine. That would mean that Manny or Caleb might have a problem with that.
Yeah, and I think once you sit back, listen, yes, sure, you want to be prepared to go down that road, but it is not an easy one. As we asked Mike Gillis last week, it will be a challenge if you go that way, no matter what you want or no matter how you set it up or no matter how You approach it. There is going to be questions, fair or not, about how that dynamic is being oriented between coach and player, between coach and the rest of the team. And is that going to be a fair thing to put a young player, no matter how old Caleb Malhotra would be, if he were to make, whenever he were to make his debut? Because that's a whole other dynamic. And it's... I think without precedent, just about.
Well, at a prime, at a prime position with a prime player. I mean, you could, we've all been in rooms. We've, you know, you just know, like at some point somebody's going to be chirping. I'm going, you want to tell your dad to, you know, stop putting us out there in the blah, blah, blah. Like you, The more I think about it, the less and less I think you can do this. Like you can't. And so I just can't imagine that you prioritize the guy that may or may not be available to you. There's a whole different, like just hire Manny Malhotra and draft somebody else.
If you screw up Caleb's development because of the dynamic in the room, like absolutely shame on you.
