Okay, so a couple of headlines you kick off the show today and we're going to go over these

and talk plenty more about these headlines and a couple of other things with the returning

Elliot Friedman in a couple of moments.

I guess we can refer to it as back to reality for Rick Tockett and the Vancouver Canucks.

You know, after shelling the Chicago Blackhawks in Tockett's debut, right back down, get your feet on the earth.

The Vancouver Canucks waxed by the Cracken, six to one yesterday.

We'll get into that.

And here's another question for you

Did the New York Islanders just lose a must win game?

2 to 1 to the Ottawa Senators

Congratulations Ridley Craig makes his NHL. His father Mike played 125 games in the

NFL for Hartford, Toronto, Calgary, and Philadelphia. We talk about games

along the way that you have to have if you're going to be a playoff team and there is that is very much in question and very much in dispute when it comes to the New York Islanders there are certain games you have to win was last night one of them for the New York Islanders? Now a couple of

things before we get to Elliot, maybe I should do this almost every show because it seems

you know almost every show there's something that I either miss on or mess up or

you know just people have a different opinion on I keep my d.ms open a lot of people have my

number like I get texts all throughout the show and into the evening as well

What I want to read to you here in a couple of moments but a couple of bits of cleanup from yesterday

When I was talking to Greg Waczynski,

and I got a lot of notes about this right away,

I should put the video out later on as well

on my Twitter feed.
