There have been times, a number of years ago, one of the hotels that we stayed at on the West Coast did not have very good cell coverage, and the unit that I was using required me to do the show out on the sun deck. And it was during a particularly contentious time for the orders, they weren't playing very well. But no, I'm not one to strip down, to go tarps off, at least not in about the last 30, about the last 30 years, for fear of being- You and me both, brother, you and me both. Yeah, that's right. All right, what, so is your son, because he used these terms now, like U16, U14, U18, what's he playing right now? Yeah, he's a U15, this is game four of the East Final of the single A GTHL Championship. So he's side flames, wishing his team well, but they're playing a very good team, the Markham Islanders. So we'll see, the series is tied right now, so we'll see where it goes. You got any, you got any former pros coaching either of the two respective teams? No, no, we have parents coaching each team, but the coach, head coach of my son's team played pro in Europe, a really good dude, and we appreciate his pro bono time all these years. He's an awesome dude, awesome coach. Yeah, it's an interesting time, because I would say to you, Pierre, for maybe from about 2000, I'll say from 2010 to 2020, I think there was a clear delineation in the caliber of player that was being produced out of the GTHL, and of course, when you can amalgamate all that talent and load up in certain areas, and the U.S. National Development Program did something similar, but what's happened is with the rise of the hockey academies in the West, we've seen a big step forward here in the last few years, and this year, like, obviously, Bedard and Celebrini, they're both BC kids. This year, we're gonna see McKenna, and Verhoeff, probably in the top four, a kid from the Yukon and a kid from Fort Saskatchewan. Next year, Landon DuPont, who's from Calgary. The year after that, there's a player by the name of Maddox Schultz, who's playing for the Regina Pats. He had 14 goals and 29 points. The WHL limited him to 34 games as a 15-year-old. He's a heck of a player, and apparently, I'm told there's a guy coming out of Red Deer that's unreal, too, that broke a bunch of bone in AAA. Oh, yeah, I am, so lots of, I think it's funny with the regionalism a bit, because for years, WHL produced a lot of hard-nosed stuff, competitive kids, tough kids and stuff, but a lot more skill in the last five to seven years here, and I think- Well, and it's still going strong in Ontario, but where the real drop-off has been at the elite levels in Quebec, interestingly, and it's not because they don't produce athletes anymore. It's because a lot of those athletes are showing up as we saw the Winter Olympics and other winter sports, a lot, you know, freestyle skiing, and then, yeah, all kinds of other sports, so it's interesting, you know, the trend that way. All right, you wrote a piece about two teams, I mean, Edmonton's, and I'm gonna preface this by saying I don't wanna come across as arrogant or over-promising and under-delivered, but I think Edmonton's gonna find a way to make the playoffs, okay? And if they play like they did last night, they're gonna be able to compete and potentially win the Pacific Division, because that's how they need to play. That said, there's a three-team clear delineation with the Central Division, and you highlighted a couple of those teams, so maybe educate our listeners on your piece you wrote about Colorado and Dallas. Yeah, I had some time last week to chat with Chris McFarlane, the GM of the Avalanche, and Jim Dill, GM of the Dallas Stars, and we ran the piece here yesterday in the Athletic, but it was interesting just to hear them talk about their trade deadline approach, and they both insist, they try not to look over to the right or to the left and see what Minnesota, you know, what DeWild did, and of course with Quinn Hughes, and, you know, in the case of Dallas last year with Randon in, and this year with Colorado, all in with Goddry on deadline day and Nicholas Waugh the day before. Both those GMs have so much respect for each other, and I'll tell you something, I covered the Avalanche Stars series last year, and I'll never forget in the corridor that links both dressing rooms, really warm embrace and handshake between McFarlane and Neal after that crazy seven-game series. Those guys, they just think so much of each other, but they're gonna go after, potentially have to go through each other again for a third year in a row if Dallas can get through Minnesota, which is no given. And the piece was about how they both decided to attack the deadline again. I mean, Colorado doesn't have a first-round pick now until 2029, and the Stars don't have a first-round pick this year or in 28, whatever. I mean, they're trying so badly to win a cup, and one thing I talked about with McFarlane is that they've only won one playoff series since they won the cup in 22, which is surprising when you look at the core of that team. Now, there's reasons for that. They didn't have their captain for three years. Nichushkin went into the program one of the playoff years. They really struggled to replace Nelson Codry after 22, and they finally traded back for him. So there's all kinds of reasons, but the bottom line is there's a lot of urgency in Colorado to go deep here this year. They've run out of excuses here. We keep playing good teams in our division. I get it, but at some point, you gotta be the best team, and so Dallas has gone deep every year, but I think the pressure is really on Colorado not to swing and miss here this year. Hi, everyone, I'm Charlie Cox. Join us on Disney Plus as we talk with the cast and crew of Marvel Television's Daredevil Born Again. What haven't you gotten to do as Daredevil? Being the Avengers. Charlie and Vincent came to play. I get emotional when I think about it. This is one of the great finales of any episode we've ever done. We are gonna play Truth or Daredevil. What? Oh, boy. Fantastic. You guys go hard, man. Daredevil Born Again, official podcast Tuesdays, and stream season two of Marvel Television's Daredevil Born Again on Disney Plus. A 67-year-old grandfather fails to show up for a meeting with his son at a local tire shop, sparking a desperate search, and he wouldn't be the only victim. I'm Global News crime reporter, Nancy Hixt. You might listen to a lot of true crime podcasts this year, but they're not crime beat. Season eight drops April 21st, but you can hear the first story now, one month early, only on Amazon Music. You know, Nathan McKinnon's so driven, you wonder whether or not Landis Gogg was a bit of a balancing act for that team. Like, that's just a personal observation. I could be completely out to lunch, you know? No, I think you're bang on. I think he's the one guy, and it's all from a good place with Nathan McKinnon. And you saw the Olympics, too, being around that team every day. That guy is so intense, it's unbelievable. And I think Landis Gogg goes into that room, and he can't be in that room if you're hurt. When you're hurt, you're not part of the team. That's just the reality of hockey. And Landis Gogg back, I think, has calmed things down in that room, in my mind. Well, it's interesting, because we had some excitement on Edmonton this weekend, and it coincided with the fact that Leon Dreisaitl was over in Germany. And as somebody that travels with the Oders on a day-to-day basis, there's no way I could ever underscore the leadership, Connor's the captain, but the leadership that Leon brings. And so that's why I was so pleased with how Edmonton played last night, because that was an important win for them without one of the best players in the league. Switching focus, Ottawa. This is, I mean, they are down, what, five defensemen right now? They're down five, but they're down three of their top four, right? I mean, they're down Jake Sanderson, Thomas Chabot now, and Nick Jensen is up for the regular season, if not the first round after having knee surgery last week. Like, three of their top four. I don't care how good your team is in the NHL. When you're down three of your top four, it should be tough sliding. And for them to gut out that win in Detroit, the game of the year for both those teams, I mean, the wings are feeling the ghosts of previous collapses here right now. And for Ottawa to go in there with all that youth on their blue line and pull off that win is, that's one of the great victories of the NHL season. You know, we'll see. They just need to patch things together until Sanderson's back. He should be back within the next seven days. And he's only one man. I mean, they're still gonna really miss Chabot and Jensen, but Sanderson's a heck of a player. So if they can patch it together until Sanderson's come back, maybe they have a chance here. Because the reality, Bob, and I know you know this, but the Senators, you know, their numbers under the hood all year have been better than a lot of teams in the East. They just didn't get a save forever. Now they're getting better goaltending from Hallmark, but suddenly guys are dropping left and right in terms of injuries. So we'll see if Ottawa can hang in there, but that would be a great job by them if they can, you know, get in. Because again, the point total in the East is quite high this year to get in. Well, yeah. And last year, the Canadians got in with 91 points in the Calgary Flames, missed the playoffs with 96, but it's gonna be even more pronounced this year. Carter, Yakima, Chuck, and I remember, Pierre, we talked about this a year and a half ago with the World Juniors, when Bennett, Seneca, and Carter, Yakima, Chuck somehow were excluded from Canada's World Junior team. And the Fort, Fort Marie, Alberta, sort of like, you know, like, like seriously, that's not, that's just not overthinking, you know, just take the best. Anyways,
