The playoffs are here and BP is ready.

So skip the couch and catch every hit, every goal, every save, every playoff beard.

This is how you watch Playoff Hockey.

Let's go to the Able Auctions hotline and welcome in our next guest.

It is Tony Ferrari, covers the NHL draft and prospects for the hockey news.

And the draft is getting pretty close and there's a lot going on, even with the U18s, although maybe not going great for Canada.

Didn't quite go the way we wanted.

All right, now let's welcome in Tony to the convo.

Tony, what's going on, man?

How you doing?

Well, on the U18s, in this country, as soon as Canada stubs its toes even a little bit, there's a national crisis in many ways.

So what do you make of Canada's play at the tournament, and what that means for the program long-term?

Because there are some nervous Nellies across this country right now.

Now, I hear you.

And I think, you know, obviously the focus remains on the top players at that tourney that are vying for better draft position in the 2026 NHL entry draft.

So for the draft eligible players at the U18s, who stood out to you on Team Canada?

In terms of the other nations, who else do you think helped themselves or are helping themselves at the tourney?

Do you think he's one of the guys who could be one of the biggest risers when we get to the draft in June?

We're talking NHL draft prospects for the 2026 draft with Tony Ferrari from the Hockey News.

And obviously, I'm sure you can imagine, Tony, we talk about a lot of hypotheticals here in Vancouver.
