All right, just getting fully caffeinated here, ready to go.

Another day without a hockey game to watch.

So what did you do, Lester?

Reintroduce yourself to your family.

This lit open.

Reintroduce yourself to your family. This lit open. Reintroduce yourself to your family.

Maybe you watch baseball like me.

Watch the Jays lose for the Orioles.

Amazing what happens when you play a good team.

We beat up on the Pirates for so long.

We beat up on the White Sox for so long and then come crashing down to reality against the Orioles. I'll do it again tonight. Watch a late game with the Padres and the Angels. That was my night. How was yours? I'm going to be honest with you. The remainder of this week is going to be interesting here on the program without games to cover to cover every day there's going to kind of be i'll just be blunt there's going to be a looseness around the program there's going to be sort of a chatty conversational tone around the program like the the the the spine of the show is always news and that's why we usually have elliott off the top but he's going to drop by here in a couple of moments and there are some things to go over with Elliot that are new Z, mainly

coach-oriented stuff at this point. I want to get to a few of those things in a couple of seconds.

I want to go over some QOD stuff that we threw out there. Just really simple, your favorite

Stanley Cup final and why. We'll go through this with a lot of our guests. And that includes Brian Scroodland, who will stop by. I'm guessing his favorite Stanley Cup final was 86.

And it was Dave's two key deadline acquisitions that featured prominently in that last game against London Knights.

Most notably, Josh Bloom, who scored the game winner with 20 seconds left against the London Knights. And there's an interesting story getting there. We'll get drinks to tell that story. But also Owen Beck, who, if you'll recall, was kind of, Camere, go away, Camer, go away, came here, go away with getting traded to Saginaw in the first place.

Turned out to be the best thing for him as he is now a Memorial Cup champion. He's a prospect for the Montreal Canadians. So we'll talk about Saginaw and we'll talk about the OHL with Dave Drinkle, GM of the Spirit, coming up at the bottom of the hour. I mentioned Brian Scruteland. Coming up, why are we talking to Scruteland? well. He was the

member of the original Florida

Panthers going back to 1919. Brian Scruteland coming up. Why are we talking to Scrooeland? Well, he was the, a member of the

original Florida Panthers going back to 1993, former Stanley Cup champion as well. And it's

going to be a whole lot of sort of look backs and celebrations of and memories of. And the first

one that I want to throw out here actually we'll get to
