7:28
Speaker 3: the it's been one of the more worst in recent
7:32
Speaker 3: memories handling of a superstar and kind of the just
7:36
Speaker 3: all the weird noise this, summer this offseason to the

Speaker 3: point where, like you, know he's probably sitting there being,
7:42
Speaker 3: like you, know what the hell's going on right now
7:45
Speaker 3: because he's you, know he's enjoying his, summer trying to
7:48
Speaker 3: enjoy his time getting ready for a. Season you, know
7:51
Speaker 3: they kind of had a good they kind of had
7:53
Speaker 3: a couple good. Years they're putting something. Together you, know
7:56
Speaker 3: last year wasn't you, know the best at some, injuries
7:58
Speaker 3: but like you, know they were two years off of
8:00
Speaker 3: that kind of playoff run where you, know you could
8:03
Speaker 3: argue they you, know should have Beat edmonton And Calvin
8:06
Speaker 3: pickard save the. Day you, Know Adam footz coming. In
8:08
Speaker 3: there's a lot to be happy, about but all of this,
8:11
Speaker 3: noise and then you get into the season and it's
8:13
Speaker 3: just been a bad year for This canucks, Team like
8:16
Speaker 3: they just don't have the, personnel their goaltending. Situation you
8:19
Speaker 3: know at that You deemko can't stay. Healthy so If
8:22
Speaker 3: i'm Quit, Hughes i'm, like you, know get me the
8:24
Speaker 3: fuck out of. Here if there if there's this much,
8:27
Speaker 3: noise turm to give me the fuck out of. Here
8:28
Speaker 3: and then, yeah why not play with your? BROTHERS i mean,
8:30
Speaker 3: THAT i think it's an eventuality at some point in the.
8:33
Speaker 3: CAREER i think all three of them will be, together
8:36
Speaker 3: unless you, Know Jack hughes just Follows tate McCray around
8:41
Speaker 3: in a tour bus and but's hockey and let kind
8:44
Speaker 3: of take care of. Him but, YEAH i think it's
8:47
Speaker 3: it's you, know but the only issue with, that you,
8:52
Speaker 3: know WHEN i think of that and just saying it out,
8:53
Speaker 3: loud it's, like If Quinn hughes is going to The
8:57
Speaker 3: devil's what happens To Luke, Hughes like you just Signed
9:00
Speaker 3: Luke hughes to this. Deal he's making a lot of
9:03
Speaker 3: wamp them and and he's basically a power play defenseman
9:06
Speaker 3: that you, know and he's not having a great. Year
9:09
Speaker 3: HE'S i, LIKED i like the breakout season nod from
9:12
Speaker 3: Tal but he's been, okay he's been you, know he's
9:15
Speaker 3: had some. There him And Dougie hamilton are fighting for
9:18
Speaker 3: the kind of for power play. Time but If Quinn
9:21
Speaker 3: hughes comes, THERE i mean he plays twenty eight minutes a.
9:23
Speaker 3: Night he's a. LEFTY i Mean luke's that's cutting into
9:27
Speaker 3: his time on, ICE i think unless he's willing to
9:29
Speaker 3: play the right. Side so, yeah it's it's it's an interesting.
9:32
Speaker 3: Thing but you, KNOW I alvin And rutherford and The
9:36
Speaker 3: Vancouver canucks is give your heads a shake right, now

10:40
Speaker 3: that could get. Him but you, Know i'm sure he's
10:42
Speaker 3: got a very short list and he's going to be
10:45
Speaker 3: in the driver's. Seat you, know a guy that could
10:47
Speaker 3: he's he's controlling this. Narrative it's not it's not going

Speaker 3: Going so so it's it's gonna be a lot of phone.
11:03
Speaker 3: Calls they got their work cut out for. Him but
11:05
Speaker 3: this is one of these that can set the you,
11:07
Speaker 3: know it can set the franchise back for ten, years
11:10
Speaker 3: or you can make this a win win and get
11:14
Speaker 3: enough prospects in the right prospects and some draft picks
11:17
Speaker 3: and draft good and really reset your, franchise you, know
11:20
Speaker 3: and only have it take three. Years but this is
11:23
Speaker 3: like a pretty pivotal moment for this team and in
11:26
Speaker 3: this organization because it can get ugly in a. Hurry
11:29
Speaker 3: and Then vancouver fans they're not the most. Forgiving that's for.
11:33
Speaker 1: SUCH i love the city Of, vancouver But canucks fans in,
11:35
Speaker 1: GENERAL i find it very. Pessimistic there's like a cloud
11:38
Speaker 1: hanging over. Them maybe it's the omnipresent reign IN, bc
11:41
Speaker 1: but they're like If Quinn hughes, goes like here we go,

11:59
Speaker 2: Games if he keeps this, pace he's gonna score fifty
12:02
Speaker 2: eight fifty eight From Morgan. Geeky his career high is thirty.
12:06
Speaker 2: Three last.
12:07

12:31
Speaker 3: in a one trick pony. Either and THEN i think
12:32
Speaker 3: When pasternach got, injured we all were, like this is
12:35
Speaker 3: gonna be, It like he's not scoring, anything and he
12:37
Speaker 3: continued to. Score so he's founding in the back of the.
12:40
Speaker 3: Net he's really turning into premier goal. Scorer i've, heard you,

Speaker 3: of you, know fifty to fifty five IS i think
13:13
Speaker 3: that's that's the range for me at the. Highest BUT

Speaker 3: the MINUTE i shake his, hand he goes on a fucking. Heater,
14:44
Speaker 3: yeah AND i lost two bottles Of Camus and this
14:46

15:19
Speaker 3: Years Kevin weeks was talking about it ON Nhl. Network
15:23
Speaker 3: he AND i, Agree it's just he's he's been just

15:32
Speaker 3: chickrin's having another career. Year he just had. One he's
15:36
Speaker 3: having another one and on pace for, ONE i believe

15:43
Speaker 3: already eleven. Goals you, know he's on pace for twenty,
15:47
Speaker 3: five twenty six and he is highest was. Twenty so
15:51
Speaker 3: he's just he's really like keeps finding another level to his.
15:55
Speaker 3: Game and then up, front to your, POINT i think
15:57
Speaker 3: they're young guys that came, in you, know the The.
16:01

Speaker 3: but he's been great for them. Sortief you Know Dave,
16:15
Speaker 3: protest who's still considered kind of a young. Guy protus
16:18
Speaker 3: is arguably the best two way. Forward and, yeah ob
16:22
Speaker 3: we talked about it Like ovi's A obi is an
16:24
Speaker 3: interesting like when the team's not going, nowadays you know
16:30
Speaker 3: now that he's. Older when he was, younger he could
16:32
Speaker 3: carry the team, offensively but he needs he needs to
16:35
Speaker 3: be the finisher. Now you, know he's the he's not the.
16:38
Speaker 3: Fluffer he's the. Finisher you, know he he's he's not.
16:42
Speaker 3: Fluffing he just goes there and he's the money. Shot
16:45

17:13
Speaker 1: THIRTY a quick follow up On avetchka now THAT i
17:16

19:24
Speaker 3: thought he's played he's played good and he's provided scoring for,
19:27

19:31
Speaker 3: of you, know somebody you go and trade. For he's

20:04
Speaker 3: kesselring who's you, know struggled in In buffalo a little
20:08
Speaker 3: bit with, Injuries but they needed to address their back
20:11
Speaker 3: IN i didn't think they had a solid top. Four
20:13
Speaker 3: so they don't go out and address. That they addressed their,
20:15
Speaker 3: scoring WHICH i thought they had enough of with you,
20:18
Speaker 3: Know Cooley. Gunther you Got, daniel they Got, cheeks which
20:23
Speaker 3: Is Daniel butte Or. Boot but they Had, keller they Had,
20:27
Speaker 3: smallcy they Had Barret. Hayton you, know they had some
20:30
Speaker 3: guys they needed, depth uh, scoring so they needed some
20:33
Speaker 3: bottom six, guys but they also needed d and they
20:37
Speaker 3: did not go and get. That AND i don't think
20:39
Speaker 3: they addressed their needs. Properly AND i don't know What
20:42
Speaker 3: Bill armstrong is gonna do if he's going to just
20:44
Speaker 3: continually say that's my imposter syndrome As Bill. Armstrong BUT i.
20:49
Speaker 3: Digress you, know that's more of a personal thing between
20:52
Speaker 3: me and him and, him you, know getting rid of
20:55
Speaker 3: me WHEN i didn't want to go From. Arizona but,
20:58
Speaker 3: ANYWAY i.
20:59
Speaker 1: DIGRESSED i love the grudge matches sometimes With shady that
21:01
Speaker 1: come up once in a.
21:02
Speaker 2: WHILE i actually told YOU i was In buffalo for
21:05
Speaker 2: The sabers. Game Lndy. Rife, Yeah Lindy rouff Got dallas
21:08
Speaker 2: stories about him like he.
21:10
Speaker 3: Did believe he'll, listen and, partly you, know partly it's
21:14
Speaker 3: a two way. Street SO i don't THINK i. Was you,
21:17
Speaker 3: KNOW i can be a little sassy and as as
21:21
Speaker 3: we all know, here so, yeah SO i you, KNOW
21:23
Speaker 3: i TAKE i take my my lumps for. That but,
21:25
Speaker 3: YEAH i just you, know they kept just getting draft
21:28
Speaker 3: picks and draft picks and there was there seemed like
21:30
Speaker 3: there was a. Planet credit to, him he collected a
21:33
Speaker 3: lot of draft picks and but the problem with that
21:36
Speaker 3: is like you have to draft and develop and that takes.
21:39
Speaker 3: Time it's not just a you don't you can't just you,
21:43
Speaker 3: know hit it with you, know The Connor bdards and
21:45
Speaker 3: The macklin. Celebrinies if you're not getting a first, overall
21:48
Speaker 3: so you're they're not getting that and you're getting you,
21:51
Speaker 3: know these, third, fourth fifth picks that you, know they
21:54
Speaker 3: can be good and they can be diamonds in the
21:56
Speaker 3: rough and they have been for, them but that you
21:58
Speaker 3: can't lean on. That you need, veterans you need guys
22:00
Speaker 3: that have been in there in the. League you need
22:01
Speaker 3: some some high impact players that you get through trade
22:04
Speaker 3: and free. Agency and they just haven't done. That they
22:06
Speaker 3: haven't acquired, that AND i just think they just don't
22:09
Speaker 3: have enough PIECES i think to keep up in the
22:12
Speaker 3: central they're, one you, know one injury, away like The
22:16
Speaker 3: Logan cooley from really losing a lot of their. Depth
22:20
Speaker 3: so for, Me i'm, LIKE i wasn't higher than the
22:22
Speaker 3: start the. YEAR i think they needed a. Change but
22:24
Speaker 3: there's a lot of hot seats on this, team because
22:26
Speaker 3: the one thing about the change To utah, is you,
22:29
Speaker 3: Know Ryan smith is a, gunslinger AND i don't think
22:32
Speaker 3: he's gonna wait around for them to figure things. OUT
22:35
Speaker 3: i think the hot seat is has been activated in
22:38
Speaker 3: the car that you know IT'S i don't think it's.
22:40

50:01
Speaker 1: lot more talked about, now but that wasn't always the.
50:04
Speaker 4: Case why was it something that you felt so passionate.
50:06
Speaker 5: About, well, unfortunately our dad committed suicide when we were.
50:09
Speaker 5: Young WHEN i was, Thirteen jeff was, sixteen and we
50:12

1:03:27
Speaker 1: sure exactly what his issue with it, was but he
1:03:29
Speaker 1: ripped it the other. DAY i thought there was a.
1:03:30
Speaker 1: Story But nurnberg is not necessarily. Movie i'd recommend the first.
1:03:33
Speaker 2: HALF i.
1:03:34
Speaker 1: Enjoyed if you like courtroom, dramas you know a few
1:03:36
Speaker 1: good men. Fans i'm sure everybody out there and enjoys
1:03:37
Speaker 1: a good court and. DRAMA i like the premise of,
1:03:40
Speaker 1: it the fact that The Nurremberg trials was so important
1:03:42
Speaker 1: because they were actually going to try to convict This.
1:03:44
Speaker 2: Nazi And Michael shannon made a great. Point he, because
1:03:46
Speaker 2: listen what happened After World War, one.
1:03:47
Speaker 1: Because we destroyed, them we robbed them of, everything and
1:03:50
Speaker 1: then they built themselves back. Up so he's, like there's
1:03:52
Speaker 1: gonna be no martyrs in, This like we're gonna have a.
1:03:54
Speaker 1: Trial we're not just gonna shoot this guy in the
1:03:56
Speaker 1: head and. Sell we're gonna have a. Trial we're gonna
1:03:58
Speaker 1: prove it or not he was right or? Wrong did
1:03:59
Speaker 1: you know What hitler was? Doing do you know what
1:04:00
Speaker 1: The nazis were? Doing and we go from. There the second, half,
1:04:03
Speaker 1: unfortunately becomes bogged down by, sentiment becomes a little more
1:04:06
Speaker 1: too clayched. Driven AND i gotta be Honest Ronnie mallich

Speaker 2: Film So i'm giving a mixed review To.
