Elliot, before we get going on the podcast and talk about the East and the West and some of the behind the scenes news and the

San Jose General Manager search and all of that, want to start off by

sending our best wishes for a speedy recovery to our friend Darren Mallard

broadcasted with a Vegas Golden Knights bike accident on Friday. Ducky, we're thinking about you. I hope you get better soon, pal.

He built hockey on sports net. Everything we do now, he started. So

we always think about that and we're wishing you the best man. Somebody needs to take a hold

of Gary Lawless and keep him under control. Mallard, you are that man and we can't wait to see

you do it again. Elliot, one more thing before we start the podcast, Bob Cole, who tonight

received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Canadian Screen Awards and I don't know

what more we can say about the greatness that Bob Cole always was calling hockey games.

Notice respect to Foster Hewitt but Bob Cole's CBC radio call of the Henderson goal in 72 of the

Summit series is exceptional and we've said that Elliot a number of times about Bob Cole's career

exceptional. My favorite play by a playperson in any sport ever and nobody played off the crowd

better than Bob Cole did. This is a very humbling experience for me. I have to thank the members

of the Academy for nominating me for this award. I have been very fortunate over the years

to work with so many great professionals, owners, general managers, coaches,

the players in the national hockey league, all of whom I have great respect. We travel together,

talk together, done a lot of games all over the world and I realize I'm a very lucky guy.

To have a job that I love so much. I have to thank my family for being so supportive.

They have been. They travel with me sometimes. We've had some great fun and again, thanks to the

Academy for this award. I don't know what room Elliot's in but dammit, I'm going to ask.

Welcome to 32 thoughts of podcasts presented by the all new GMC AT4 lineup. Elliot,
