John Cullen. And with us for this very special episode is... To Bang to Sigh. Welcome to Bang, formerly of TFC.
Come on all you... Come on, you read, brother. You got it. Come on all you read.
Come on all you read. That was... That was... Come on all you read.
That was... That was... That was... One of those things that raised from the whiteboard were like, come on all you read.
Just remove a word. Yeah, all is not great. No, for sure. Come on all you read.
Formally of TFC, though. Formally of TFC, correct? No, it was a red comma. Well, yeah, I think it was the...
It's just bloody. Well, I was thinking about how... Yeah, like... I thought period sex was more of it.
That's the direction I took it, but... Well, we didn't really discuss this before. No, no, no. I didn't hear for the Jim anything.
I'm pretty sorry. We'll get to that in just a moment. It's fine. I guess I might as well know what this is right away.
Yeah. Talking about comic. Yeah. Red comic.
But to bang, of course, you've left TFC. Correct. They've immediately gone on a red hot run into the MLF. Yeah.
It turns out my horrible tweets are holding the back. They've ascended. They've made it through the dredges of memes and terrible punts and all of that jazz. And now they're having less got finals.
So never mind all of your friends and the people you love back home. That's what's making your regret moving out here most of all. No, no, no, no, getting for industry delivered to a new apartment is making your regret everything that I've done. Well, it'll be over soon.
I never have to do it again. I hope so. Well, I hope so. Well, you know what?
For a while. Just looking at the odds probably one more time at least in my life. But no. Oh, yeah.
That's the fucked up part about moving. It's like it sucks so fucking much and it sucks even more because the whole time you're like, I am for sure going to do this more time. Like that's... I think that's even the worst part of it.
Unless you're just like die in your apartment. That's the decision I made when I moved into my place. You're going to die there? Yeah.
Really? Probably pretty soon. If you have a child. I did post the address on our website recently.
Oh, you did? That's how I'm going to die. Oh, you reposted? It was okay with it.
I did ask first. She said it was fine. That's interesting. It really does love you.
This is for sure a pizza gate type scenario. It's not going to come to you. Absolutely. 100%.
No, it's not. I do live in the Vancouver branch of Comic King Pong. So it does make sense. But that would happen.
Jesus. Listen, we're not advocating sending someone with a gun to Jessen's house. But we're not saying don't do it. You know what I mean?
You have to self-investigate. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And the Thai pizza you make isn't even that good.
I know. Yeah. So. You make Thai pizza.
I'm talking about a child's sex. I was being facetious on the top. Oh, I do make flatbreads that work. That's what I'm saying.
It all works. But actually, not kids. Yeah. I mean, there's kids there too.
But they're always the worst person in the world. We do allow children into our brewery. And they're eating the pizza. Exactly.
They came for the pizza. Dad's drunk. I've watched a pizza gate YouTube thing today for some reason. And one of the reasons was...
Your job? No, well, I guess sort of. But one of the reasons the girl provided was, and she was like, this is the hard proof. They have all ages shows that start at 10 o'clock.
It's like, where the fuck are you from? Yeah, it's in Washington DC. It's in an actual state on Fartburg, South Carolina. It's also in a city where a lot of these parents, I'm assuming, are working crazy hours.
And to spend time with their children. Yeah. It only requires looser hours than rural. One of the things that someone would draw a dick on the wall in the bathroom.
That's... You've been to like a Tomino's? Like, I'm sure it's the same thing over there. Like, anyway, PTA is real.
And it's the funniest thing, as we just sink further and further into unreality. But regardless, this is not what we came here to talk about today. Well, we came here to talk about it. Never come here to talk about anything.
It is... ...Seeky.com. Of course, the fact that buying tickets online for sports and concerts has been a confusing process for a very long time. I agree.
You agreed to Vang? 100%. Every time I've ever bought a ticket, I thought, Jesus fuck, I'm confused. It has always been hard to find the best deal for that gamer show that you want to go to.
And none of those older ticket sites want to change that. They like it that way. Can I just say something you're just... Sure.
...totally off the cuff. I'm not reading it, do I think. But Seeky is different. Are they?
They've come along and created an amazing app and website that makes it easier than ever for fans to buy. And so, tickets. Yeah, Seeky is not an older ticket site, but rather... It's brand new.
It's the way for the future. It is. And you better catch that wave right now before you miss out on some hot deals. We have to read the front of Office.
It is always the first place to go to look for tickets to a gamer concert. And I have a Seeky gak on my phone. In fact, I just used it the other day to look at tickets for Insert Gamer Concert here. I have.
We love going to Insert Gamer. We can fix that in post, right? I think Bruno Mars is coming here. Probably.
Yeah, he is. I should go to that. That's pretty hot. When Uptown Funk comes on the radio.
How can you know you're vibing? You know you're vibing. I'm going to go. You want to go with me?
Let's go to Bruno Mars together. I'm down. I'm down. I'm down.
I'm down. You guys should use the Seeky Gap. Actually, you know what? Fuck Bruno Mars.
Let's go to Insert Concert here. I think that's going to be a fucking tight show. It's one of the best. I've been looking forward to it for years.
Absolutely. Call to Action must read. I used to cut this a couple of times. I used to get this whole thing, but it's okay.
See, that one's not bolded. It's not bolded. I don't know. I just don't even think about this.
Look, you might be confused, but everything about Seeky is designed to make life easier for sports and music fans. They should tell that to whoever wrote their fucking ad. They do all the pricing comparison for you by searching multiple ticket sites and ensuring that you get the best possible deal. Seeky does all the work and you save all the time and money.
That'd be fucked actually if you went to a ticket broker, but they made you do all the work. Yeah, well, I'll look through the files. Yeah, exactly. Welcome to SeatChair.com.
Here's a ticket broker's phone number. I'm going to call them and then list their time. What about what it used to be like? I mean, I guess sort of.
If you phoned it in, remember we need to buy tickets over the phone? I do. I remember raw. That was the biggest line ever.
WWF, Raw's War came to Rogers. I want to say in like 2002, 2009, I think. It would have been after 1999. I moved here in 1999.
So it would have been 2000. It was 2000. The rock came out with a Canada flag that had the Brahman Bowl instead of the Mabircon. Yes.
And Kid Rock gave a performance of American. Oh, yeah, Kid Rock was there. You even changed it to Canadian. No, and he doesn't give a fuck about Canada.
And too cool when the tag team titles. There were 300 people in line and everybody got a number. It was a random ticket because they wanted to stop people from sleeping outside. So they gave everyone a ticket and they drew a number and that person became the front of the line.
It seems like a really good way to start fights. Yeah. Oh, it was like everyone turned on. And my friend was somehow that got first in line.
So we actually got pretty good tickets to rock. Well, but I remember there would be other people on their phone calling. This is the Rakeshi era. Oh, yeah.
Too cool. And yeah. Okay. I think they want to put tickets.
Can I just say something here? You can. And Seek Geek wants to help you get the most bang for your buck. That's why every ticket on Seek Geek Geek is given a grade based on value.

I was going to say when I was on the show, I'm like, these guys are pros, pros. And to see it in action right now is truly... Don't you like it? Did we have coffee for the last few?
No, we haven't. And we basically nailed it. I will say it was a little weird that this ad coffee didn't mention how StubHub were Nazis, but other than that, I think they nailed it. But you know, run by Ticketmaster.
So that's shady, right? Oh, very shady. It's almost like Donald Trump being allowed to still be the producer of celebrity apprentice. Exactly.
It's like everything is shady. It's a serious conflict of interest and that's why you should use Seek Geek. Absolutely. It's not owned by anything.
Now, I think it's owned by the people like... Gave you the fuckers. Oh, yeah. You'll only need the edge for the rest of this program.
We're happy to have you here, of course, for some... It's a historic episode, not just Episode 69, which is history in and of itself, but it's definitely has like major news. We're going to thank the livers. I guess we don't have to thank donors right now.
We can do it later. We could. I feel like people are here for that. I feel like people can go fuck themselves.
I mean, we already did kind of say fuck you by tweeting a bunch about the news and then posting a podcast about wrestling. I mean, we were like, hey, guess what? You want the Canucks news? Here's an hour and a half about Roman Reigns.
Joseph Lebait and Switch. Yes. Exactly. You know what?
For the sake of the pun? I will say Jason's Megma has had a great game today. The word smegma, I think, is just so it's underutilized. It really is.
To the point where I think if you told a kid, like, I don't know, you wouldn't want to tell a kid, how's your smegma situation or whatever? No, no. You asked him like, what is smegma? I don't think they would know.
I only found out a couple of years ago. Wow. So before that, you just had to refer to it as dried gum? I mean, god.
How would anyone have ever used that word in a sentence in a conversation with me? Well, there's many ways I feel. How long have you known that word for? Long time.
Well, since I was like four years old. The man gets sitting here so sad. Just like, I've made a terrible mistake. I'm also curious about this connex news, to be honest.
Okay. Well, before we get there, I'll look at the guest fucking try to steal the program. Fuck you, pal. Okay, let's go here.
Let's get these donors. Let's thank these donors. Let's thank these donors. I mean, come on.
Guys, I took one class at radio school. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing. Just speaking of radio school. Fuck radio school.
Am I right? I didn't even go today. I was like hell no. I don't have time for college students.
I don't have time for donating to the show. You work hard for your money, that we know. That we know. The segments where we read out all your names.
All your names. If we say it wrong, your parents are to blame. Fuck your parents. Here we go.
Thank you to New Log Into Twitter from iPhone. That was you, Stefan. That was great. That was you.
Thank you to John Joyce for pledging 568 going on under 69 like the cool kids do. Thank you for that. And our gentlemen who donated 504 last week did right into state. That was the mistake.
We're trying to figure out what 504 was. That's a fucked up typo. That's a London Ontario area code. It's possible.
It's a five-over. It's about like seven minutes trying to figure out the significance of it. Shout out to Mitch Loner. I don't know my homies.
He said the extra four cents in my donation was simply a typo. Nothing clever or witty I'm afraid to say. But since Stefan did make an effort to find meaning in it, I'll suggest a couple of potential options. The extra four cents could refer to the number of 2017 draft picks Benning can still trade away.
The number Benning wore when he played for the Canucks. Thanks guys. The podcast is great. We're not talking enough about how can four be a typo for zero.
Is there not anywhere close to each other? Occasionally Aaron McKay finally hopped on the donor band. He also specifically said he was donating to me for John Watches a Thing and said to both of you that it's my money and he feels disgusted that I've been cheated out of the money I was supposed to get directly to me for doing John Watches a Thing. He also said that the Russell Madness donor episode was the best thing that we've ever done.
So he has a lot of opinions. Thank you Aaron. Tom Hennell. No, no.
He edited his pledge down. He edited his pledge down. He doesn't punish us for being cruel to him. Rich Merensky edited his up from $5 to $10.69 for getting me in trouble in the Facebook group.
I told him he needed to donate a million dollars and he donated 10.69. So sort of thank you but that's way less than a million rich Merensky. So I need to clear this up because there's been some talk on the group. People were mad last week when I said that Rich Merensky was the only listener that came out to my album recording and Jessica Sands, Sam Anderson, your parents, Stefan were all mad that they had come out to the show and to them I say first of all who cares.
Second of all if you do still care it's because I view those people as friends to me. And that's not saying Rich is not my friend but I don't know him other than he's my friend. He's a lisier friend but he's not my friend. He's just a listener of the show.
And so I think you meant to say the only listener named Rich Merensky to come to my church. No, no, it wasn't that at all. Thank you for trying to save me. It's that your parents, Jess, Sam, we all hang out outside of that.
Rich, that was like the first time I met him. I meant that it was like someone that only knows me from the show. It just came up to me and was like, I listened to Real Good Show. That's why I'm here.
And also the main purpose of your comment was to shame Stefan and I for not being. Exactly. Why didn't people get that? So anyway, I just want to clear the air.
Thank you again to Rich Merensky for being the true good boy of Real Good. Bob Walsh became a $5 donor to receive that extra content. Thank you Bob. Has a name that sounds like maybe he played bass in the Eagles possibly.
Definitely. And Hamish. Hamish with Lachlan as well. So it's our donors to report this week.
Thank you. Thank you to everyone. You're the best. And with a lot of money.
And we thank you. All of that business out of the way now, Stefan, will you impart upon us your glorious scoop that you receive. I guess it is kind of your hot tip. Well, OK.
So I mean, who slid into your DM, Stefan? I'm not going to name my source. Oh, very reputable source. Disruptutable?
What does it feel to me? Good. Yeah, OK. Sounds about right.
So I mean, there's some like circumstantial evidence here, I would say. I'm going to just tip toe around this. I'll say allegedly a lot. OK.
I looked that word up this week. It means maybe you happen today. Here's the DM. And it was sent to my hockey dipshit account, which is like my quality.
Yeah. That's like my professional account right there. And so this guy had tweeted at me saying like I've got some good stories about staff leads, which is the advanced stats company that the Canucks use. And it's Arizona Coyotes GM John Chica.
Yeah, Chica. Chica. Chica. Chica.
Who's like 27 years old, which is another thing entirely. But he doesn't have podcasts. Of course, I'm a bitch. So that's his company.
Or was his company. Yeah. I don't think he's involved it anymore, I guess. That would be another.
Contrasters. Exactly. So this guy said I've got some good stories about staff leads and the Vancouver Canucks. If you want to hear them, I was like, yes, please, I would like to hear these stories.
Because the Vancouver Canucks, like when they are criticized for perhaps having an old school approach and not embracing analytics as much as some fans might like, do say like, oh no, we do use analytics for sure, we do. Yeah. You know, they do say that. And this is the information that I've got.
And again, this is their allegations. But they're really funny. And I'm going to read them for beta on the show. So here's the DM from our source.
Yes. Deeppak. Yes. So the thing is that there's a yes man mentality within the whole organization, which is no surprise.
Basically, whatever Ben and once, they'll cater to him. You look at how Gilman and Hanning got fired. Yeah. Probably for speaking up about the doors that was the main match that exact time.
Same hard things. Yeah. Maybe don't sign a fourth line or with a severe neck injury to it. Anyway, I digress.
Yeah. Back to the DM. My buddies at Stathletes had to make a stats package to make Brandon Preston look good because Jim Benning wanted him on the team so badly. Even though they knew he's a terrible hockey player, they had to steal a bunch of stats to make Preston look good so that Benning had a reason to trade for him.
And the same goes for Marcus Granland as well. So that's the allegation. The classic lies, damn lies and statistics. Well, Stathlete statistics is the trademark term because they're just bending numbers to give them anything that they want.
Yeah. And again, there's another allegation here that Stathletes has actually lost clients because of their work with the Canucks and Benning. These are tracks for Filly, but the flyers drop them and the reason is apparently because of the fake press stats. So the game of the stats basically to make a crappy player look good.
And Brandon Preston, I mean, he's tearing it up this year, isn't he? Yeah, tearing up in Europe. Correct. He just left the Leafs where he was a practice dummy.
He was just like hanging out with the Leafs for however long and then he's now gone to Europe. I thought with the stats, the Canucks had. I mean, definitely worth giving up the pick in addition to the player, for sure. Yeah, so the reason we think this is real is because when the guy was tweeting at me saying I've got this information about Stathletes and Jim Benning that's just so ridiculous and you have to hear.
I don't know that we need to reveal this. I just think we can say it's reliable information. I mean, I don't know. I'd say it.
I think this is like the circumstantial evidence that it converts it. It converts it to me. Is that Megan Chica, who's John Chica's sister? And who owns Stathletes?
Favoriteed the tweet with a guy who's like, I'm going to DM you about this crazy shit. Now it's possible that she just favorites every tweet that mentions her company name. Which, yeah, that's true. That's possible.
She seems pretty savvy though. Like an automated thing almost. Yeah, maybe. And I didn't, you know what, I'm going to look up right now and we're going to see just his favorite every mention of it.
So Brandon Prost is currently now playing for the Nuremberg Thomas Savo Ice Tigers in Germany. And there's some interesting names on the team. Stephen Reinprecht. Ooh, Stephen Reinprecht.
And he is 40 years old. And he has 21 points in 25 games. There's also former first round pick formerly of the Sir Eagles Andrew Kozak is on the team. Brandon Segal is also a former Eagle on the team.
Dave Steckle, Sidney Crosby, Concussioner is on the team. Milan Yurchina is on the team. I thought you were going to say Sidney Crosby was on the team. Former Vancouver Giant, Brett Festerling.
Former top 10, I think he was maybe 11th or 12th. Colton Tuber is on the team. He was on the team. He was on that world junior team too.
He went a lot of years. He went to the Kings for sure. Sorry, Danny Severet is on the team too. That's my Troy Stechrek comparable, Danny Severet.
So just look forward to Danny's 31. So just look forward to six years from now. Troy's going to be lightening it up for the Nuremberg. He's coming for you, John.
I know he's not. No, he's not. He's not. He's not like a five point.
That's the truth. There's a coming for you, man. Oh, dude. They were sitting in front of two of the biggest Troy Stechrekors.
Anyway, I will say I looked up Seth Leitz on Twitter. And there's been a few recent tweets about them. And making sure it has favorited zero. Yeah, there we go.
It's a combination that these allegations are more than allegations. And also, I have a quick question about the case for you guys. Sure. Let's talk about Colton Tuberts' brother fighting the inter-recreational ball.
That definitely almost happened. Okay. Can we hear this? Okay.
So every year, there is a tournament. There's a tournament that used to be in White Rock where I'm from, where Colton Tuberts is also from, who it was like a grass volleyball tournament to raise money for the firefighters' charity. I played it every year. They had three tiers, the elite tier, the mid tier, and then the like we're just here for the beer tier.
So most of the time I play in the mid tier, I'm not exceptional at volleyball by any means, but I'm athletic enough. I would usually play in the mid tier. One year, my team kind of fell apart and my sister was just putting in a here for the beer team and asked me if I want to play us a shirt. So we're playing and this is not a serious game by any means and we've already both of our teams at Miss the Playhouse and Colton Tuberts' brother is on the other team and they don't have any referees obviously.
So you're counting your own score and the girl on their team was probably had dysgraphia or something. She was numbers, not her forte. So every point, like she was counting so wrong it was unbelievable and I was counting correctly and they kept getting mad because I kept correcting this dumb idiot who couldn't keep a very simple volleyball score to the point where we ended up, the girl ended up like started scre-yelling at me because she thought that I was like giving our team three points. I'm like, no, you think it's 2119 and it's like 2422.
Everybody has more points in the scenario and the same team is winning and losing. It wasn't like I was like, no, you guys are losing and we are winning. In both of our scores, the same team was winning and losing and she just would count every third point and then be like, no, you're wrong. So then he comes to the net and starts to like, what's your problem?
You want to fucking go? You're bugging this girl? Obviously she's right or whatever. And I'm like, it is a rec volleyball tournament.
No, I don't want to go. He's like, I'll fucking come over there and kick the shit out of you. I'm like, yeah, I bet you will. You have fun, whatever.
And then someone was like, don't you know the ideas? Like that's Colton Twobirds, brother. I'm like, I'm gonna give a fuck. I'm like, what is he?
Was his name Rusty? I feel like it's named Rusty Twobirds. Yeah, totally. I bet for sure.
I was like, what is he gonna come from the ECHL? And be happy like, yeah, no, I don't think so. Is he older or younger? He's younger.
So maybe his name is Colton Twobirds. Two two. He's Colton Threebirds? Yeah, that's better actually.
Fuck. So yeah, anyway, we didn't get in a fight, but he, if I had instigated him further, we would have fought at the firefighters charity Grass Volley Vol tournament in the last game of the day in the last game of the year. He was waiting in the parking lot just around the wrong car. Well, yeah, definitely drives him out to six.
I know he does. That's definitely what happened was I told the girl my license plate number, but she got all three of the numbers around. Oh, man, I know that about the story. Any of our listeners with this map here are gonna be like, man, I fucking hate this at 45.
So that was the big bombshell, I guess. Not that Colton, but the allegation is that Jim Benning asked athletes to game or, I don't know if he asked how it worked with this. That's why he's just rigging his intel package to tell him exactly what he wants to get him. You know, this might sound a bit controversial, but I wonder how many, not just NHL teams, but teams kind of do ask these firms and the people they work with to produce things in their favor for their argument to present to you, let's say, the owners.
Well, I was saying to Stephanie and Justin, it seems like that's what happened in Montreal with the Suban trade, right? Like the analytics guys don't make this deal. Right. It's bad.
And then fired the analytics guy. Did he get fired? He got fired because he went on a radio show saying that he didn't agree with the deal or whatever. I just think in these rooms that they're especially now where it's like, contracts or contracts, if someone comes to you from like a big organization being like, listen, we need to present the presentation that kind of outlines so and so can do this for this much.
Will you say no or will you dig into the bag of tricks to make sure that's possible? But then what is the point of contracting them, you know? So that you can say you're doing it because you like, if you own a business, and you see your competitor doing something, even if you don't exactly know how to do it, you're going to try to copy it. You know what I mean?
So it's, yeah, I feel like that's maybe part of it. I'm like, oh, well, if we don't have a stats department, because that was also the thing too. There was like a couple teams or it was like publicly known that they didn't have an analytics department and people were like, oh my God, like, how can there still be teams in the current NHL that don't have an analytics department? What is the plan in the stone age?
Yeah, exactly. And then the inverse is like, you know what, Jordan, you did a great job with Florida. Get the hell out of here. No, we don't want to see everybody anymore.
All the players like you. All the players like you. We made the playoffs last year when we shouldn't have hit the bricks, pal. Yeah.
That cab you wanted? No, this is an un-marked hit. On my car. But at the same time, it's like, you know, we've talked about before that it seems like the only reason that Willie Desjardins is still the coach of the Canucks this season is to just have like a layer of insulation.
It's like a pumper zone. Yeah, it's somebody in the front of you in the firing line, basically. Yeah. Because as soon as Willie's gone, then the clock's going to meet the mainstream Canucks meet, you know, I'm hacking all those guys.
We'll be like, oh, maybe it's betting. And then betting will be like, well, I didn't do that. It was the stats, guys. So maybe it's just another buffer zone.
I mean, a lot of professional sports for me is like, a being good at your job and like producing results on the ice or field or wherever you're playing. Exactly. But it's one thing to get the results, but it's also one thing to play this hilarious game that like almost no other profession has this where you can basically not skate by but get by putting other people in front of you to get shot down. And like it happens so often that it's not, I can't really, maybe politics.
I think politics might be the only other place where it's like this, where it's like, yeah, you literally put people up to lose. John Kerry was supposed to lose. Like there was no, the whole Renaissance afterwards, that was supposed to happen. And it's a lot like when you hire someone or you let someone last another year, because Trevor Linden's like, maybe I don't want the clock to start on me yet.
And it starts when you start cleaning hands with all these guys. It's like the Kings Court in medieval times. Really they try to try the food first. I will say if you're listening for the first time and you're at Canucks fan and maybe you're not decided on betting for whatever reason, you should watch the sports net video from 2014.
And it came on September 11th. It's like the worst thing ever happened. And is this the player, it's the white, Jim Benning whiteboards where he writes all the team rosters on the wall basically? And like, first he spells a lot of players names wrong.
And I guess that's like one thing. Some of them are top to spell. But he also spells like city, he's spelled Philadelphia wrong. And it's like man, just like look it up.
But I think the reason, his whole thing was he's like when you're on a computer, you got to switch between pages and stuff and it's like Jim Benning not know what tabbed browsing is. And I don't think he does. So if you're listening to the show for the first time, you know, message us on social media, on Facebook, on Twitter. And I'm like, no, what tabbed browsing is.
It's a non zero. It's a non zero. It's still your Netscape navigate. That's the next poll for H.F.
Ford inspired by the show. Jim Benning's like, listen, this stat package is great. But could you put it on a Geo City site? And the H.F.
Ford's guys, the H.F. Ford's guys were excited. Jim Benning uses Zanga. Yeah, pretty sure.
Was that your connection to the question? Yeah, honestly, I feel dumb talking to Canucks fans. No, it's not my stuff. But I feel dumb following them.
And most Canucks fans are dumb, which you also have to factor. I was actually telling him to ask you about the game because I didn't get to go on the... Oh, man. You guys out?
I know. I was working, but I always make me laugh when I hear people in Vancouver complain about the four o'clock start time. Oh, man. It's honestly beautiful.
Honestly, I told you. I totally... What is bad until six? What is bad?
If you're not in the service industry, what is bad about a game ending at like six? The rest of the game and the rest of the game. I don't... On a Saturday at four o'clock.
I got the third period and the rest of the overtime shootout. So I did get to see Eric and Brandon nearly give the game away at least 15 times. I cannot describe how much I hate the shootout, but I just hate it so much. I was like, well, it's because of Toronto's very bad at it.
We started... How are they bad at it though? This year? It doesn't make sense.
It's their goal-tending. Like James Rimer would have games where he would be the only reason they made it to a shootout. It would have an unbelievable game and then look like a shooter in the shoot. He literally wouldn't move and they would just shoot the pot.
That's what Freddy Anderson looked like in that game. Totally. At least I'm happy you had to see Awesome Matthews. How great was that?
My dick move. Shoutout to Gary Lawless. TSN.CA. He's calling on Patrick Bonny versus Awesome Matthews.
It's good stuff. It's a fun game to go to. I've been to a lot of them. I would say almost all of them since I moved here.
It's not all, but pretty close to all of them. It's always a fun game to go to because the Canucks fans actually do something when you're there, which is a nice change for when you normally go to the game and it's like you're watching it inside of a morgue. I will say. Our morgues are full due to fentanyl deaths.
There's a lot of them because we lost to them in the Georgia straight thing. Exactly. Here's the thing about that. The games are great.
We've lost almost every time I've gone. You have to deal with the people that... To me, that was the funny part. Canucks fans, and obviously, present company excluded and smart Canucks fans get it.
But there are 100% people who are at the game who go, while we beat you, we're better than you. They fully believe that in their heart. I would rather be a Canucks fan than a Leafs fan right now. People were reacting to the greatest win of all time.
This isn't even the best win that the Canucks have had over the Leafs in a shootout before. That would definitely be Matt Sundeen and Andrew Raycroft doing the victory lap. That was the greatest and it's ever happened in a Canucks game. It was just so silly.
You watch your team get totally dummied. Ryan Miller plays out of his skull. You win in a skills competition. Your team is terrible.
You're in 28th place with a goalie who is making you look so much better than you are. Think about that. So much better. And you'll still be in 28th.
And your farm team is also in 28th. The Leafs have... Are they terrible? No.
Oh yeah, is Travis Green still there? He's got them on an 8-3 run right now and that's like without... Correct me if I run. Demko's a goalie, right?
Why the hell do you guys keep producing goalies? I don't understand. It's like a one thing. Ryan Miller will be gone.
He's got another contract, remember? It's undecided. I will just say I was in the game too and there were a ton of empty seats and I just want to say shame on Toronto fans. I was on the reverse though.
When I was on the reverse though, when I was going to Western Canada, I do enjoy the game atmosphere because it is so full of hate between... Oh yeah. ...Terronto-Tonians and former Torontonians and people who hate Toronto. And it makes it seem like it's an actually disturbing atmosphere.
Oh yeah. It's been Hoover, it was their Stanley Cup. They wanted to win that game real bad. Like when Calgary trucked us, man.
It was like it went nuts. And there were still so many people who were upset that there was no like... Bloodsport. Red Team.
That was a good fight. That was a really good fight. That Martin fight. At the same time though, like why was the first game heated in the first place?
Like I get the fans hating each other, and I understand. There's no reason for these two teams to dislike each other. None whatsoever. And it's not even the fans.
It's only Vancouver fans. Toronto fans do not care. Like Toronto fans that live in Vancouver, they care because they don't want their friends bragging to them. You can't tell me the number of riot jokes that show up on Twitter every time.
That's from everyone. Like they care. Okay. We're not making those jokes if they don't care.
We are both from Toronto. I will tell you right now, no one in Toronto cares about anything that happens in Vancouver. How does Da Vang, a very good sports guy, not know who Thatcher Demko is? Because he's from Toronto.
That's why. I didn't know he was a goalie though. That's true. But that's enough.
Like that's all he knows. He doesn't even know. We just don't care. But no one who Thatcher Demko does not indicate whether you care about winning or losing.
I think it shows that you don't know anything about Canucks. I'm just saying people don't care about the Canucks. They don't know who they are. Like they don't know who they are.
