Matt and guest co-host Patrick Johnston discuss the Canucks’ top brass skipping the NHL scouting combine, how they value the 15th overall pick, whether they have a deal in place, was it just delegation, or is the sole focus on a practice facility? They also discuss the Stanley Cup Final devolving in Game 3, Brad Marchand’s playoff legacy, whether William Karlsson makes sense for the Canucks at centre, Marchand and Paul Bissonette lancing with Gary Bettman about tax-free jurisdictions needing address in the next CBA, and John “Cheech” Garrett finally getting his assist on Gordie Howe’s final NHL goal.
Cam Robinson stops by with more on why it was strange and noted by other clubs that Rutherford and Allvin missed the scouting combine. Cam tells us what he heard as the NHL world assembled in Buffalo, as well as commenting on centres who could be available (Kalrsson, Pavel Zacha, Morgan Geekie) and the wisdom of loading up on defence with Bowen Byram.
John Shannon joins to discuss the Cup final, Walman’s antics, Marchand, Connor McDavid’s disposition after the loss, the punch-up and whether the league likes those sorts of scenes, plus broadcasting the Cup final and the wisdom of a three-man booth win one analyst between the benches.
