cabinessence Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Don Taylor seems to really have a good ability to reference obsure Canucks on his broadcasts. Some of teh regulars he seems to name drop include Frank Caprice, Ed Dyck, Dana Murzyn, and Bobby Lalonde. Was there a player called Frank Drebin on the team? I am not sure if he made the team or was just a fringe type player. http://youtu.be/jcJ9gj4feZI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jejejester Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 You forget that they have teams of people looking this up and computers in front of them. It's crazy they can find all these old names but it's no necessarily him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I think if someone calls into the show on team 1040 and tries to be funny he gets that moniker. Not a player reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayStation Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Some guy used to always prank call them, theres a bunch of them on this channel, quite funny to hear the Team 1040 and Don Taylor get p'd off. This video explains it. Just a random extra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmm Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 not a fan of Leslie Neilson, so I have never heard of Frank Drebin. However the others are Frank Caprice a late 70s back up goalie, Ed Dyck an early 70s 3rd string goalie drafted out of Calgary I think, Dana Murzyn a 1st round pick by Hartford who came to Van via a trade with the Flames for Ronnie Stern, often compared to a pylon however he was part of the 94 SCF team. Bobby Lalonde, a 2nd round pick in 71, was a 5'4" C/RW who also played for the Bruin. So not sure what the humor is with regards to Caprice, maybe his long curly hair, but the others have a funny name, was a pylon or the smallest player to play in the NHL since the 1930s.

The kids these days probably don't understand half of Don Taylor's pop culture references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BureisBest Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Don Taylor is a gem. So many cookie cutter anchor's out there...*cough cough*...TSN (now that Jay and Dan are gone). He is unique and awesome. The day he goes will be sadder than when Jay & Dan did...for me anyways! edit: the shot at TSN is most of their "newer" ones. Dutchy is still a beauty.
