Dominic Sramaty

He was on the Olympic team, as we mentioned, and Peter DeBoer is now coaching the Islanders.

And I had a couple of people who said to me they thought DeBoer would be interested in him.

And, you know, the Islanders now have an opening on the bench.

They made one assistant coach change.

And I don't know if that was DeBoer's plan or not.

There were some rumors out there that Donskov would be consideration for that or other jobs.

But now he's locked in as a head coach and he's going to be in prime position here.

And I just had a few people tell me, watch out for this guy because the NHL knows him a bit.

from his days in Dallas and Vegas, and now with Hockey Canada and the Olympics, and his time will come.

I think one of the things that was the question here was just getting a bit more head coaching experience, and now he's going to get it in a couple of tournaments.

But I've had people say to me, you better start doing your work because his time is going to come.

So Dom is usually on the ball as much as it pains me to give him a compliment.

Dom never screws up time zones until today.

Thursday, well, it's the podcast you'll hear on Friday, May 1st.

But this part was taped Thursday, April 30th.

For the first time ever, Dom forgot that the Eastern time zone is three hours ahead of the Pacific one.

So when we were supposed to record this, he was driving.

And Dom wants us all to know that this is a hands-free setup.

He does not want...

The Vancouver police to leave their protective services guarding the Vancouver Whitecaps owners to worry about him illegally driving a vehicle with equipment in his car.
