Okay, Duik Morning Drive, our guest list brought to you by the Duik Auto Group. It begins at 7 o'clock this morning. Yes, that means the first hour is entirely uninterrupted hell, bro. Michael Race is going to join us from the Columbus Dispatch, formerly, now Disrespected Media. We're going to Columbus to talk about... The Whitecaps? Yes.
Michael was one of the journos that closely followed the near relocation of the Columbus crew nearly a decade ago. And obviously, big news this weekend with the Whitecaps wasn't just the win over Colorado on Saturday, but the 27,000 in attendance in the large march, the Save the Caps march. In Columbus, they had the Save the Crew movement, which ultimately did work and kept the team in Columbus.
So how close was that team to leaving Columbus? What parallels are there to the Whitecaps? We'll ask Michael Arace at 7 o'clock this morning. 7.30, Jason Greger is going to join the program. Sports 1440 out of Edmonton, as Jason already alluded to. Just an absolutely wild ending in OT last night between the Oilers and Ducks in Anaheim.
Ducks win in OT, take a 3-1 series lead, but there's lots more to talk about than just the win and the commanding 3-1 lead. Oilers now on the brink of a first-round elimination. We will talk to Jason Greger about that at 7.30.

Chapter 3: How did the Canucks perform over the weekend?
8 o'clock Kevin Woodley, NHL.com and InGoal Magazine. Relatively quiet weekend for Canucks news, although we will start off the show with a bit of it. Some stuff regarding the GM search. Some big goalie developments in these playoffs. Three teams now, Edmonton, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo, have switched starting netminers in the first round.
I was going to say, lots of goalie news today.
yeah lots of recap yeah yeah of all the series three of them got different goalies already so kevin woodley is going to join us at 8 a.m i'm not going to bother working in reverse we got a lot to get to in the first hour of the program so without further ado laddie let's tell everybody what happened hey did you guys see the game last night no what happened i missed all the action because i was we know how busy your life can be what happened you missed that what happened
What happened is brought to you by the BC Construction Safety Alliance. Making safety simpler by giving construction companies the best in tools, resources, and safety training. Visit them online at bccsa.ca. So, a relatively quiet news for Canucks News on the general manager, maybe president of Hockey Ops Search. But one name surfaced.
Bill Scott, Edmonton Oilers assistant general manager, who... Got to watch that controversial ending in Anaheim last night. Reportedly interviewing one of the many, many interviews the Canucks have either conducted or will conduct for their vacant GM search.
Yeah, I don't know much about Bill Scott. Apparently he's also in the running for the Nashville job. Seems like a bit of a long shot to land the job in Vancouver, but you never know. A wide net is certainly being cast by the Canucks today. All that being said, Ryan Johnson remains the favorite with a lot of observers and even the odds makers.
Play Now Sports, the BCLC arm, has Ryan Johnson at plus 300 for the Vancouver Canucks next GM. That's when I last checked. I don't know if these odds have been updated at all. Kevin Adams at plus 500. I would not take that bet. I think that would be wild if the Canucks hired Ryan.
the Sabres GM, that everyone was all over for basically his entire tenure in Buffalo, and then he gets fired and the team takes off. Like, I don't know. I don't know about that.

Chapter 4: What are the latest updates on the Vancouver Whitecaps?
Mark Bergevin is in there at plus 700. Shane Doan, plus 700. So even the odds makers, I'm not sure they really know. What's going on? The Canucks have kept this pretty close to the vest and there hasn't been, there's been leaks about who's been asked to interview, but nothing really beyond that. On the subject of Ryan Johnson, Ian McIntyre,
wrote on him, and it featured an endorsement by Trevor Linden, who, of course, would have known Ryan Johnson from their time together with the Canucks. You know, I've never heard a bad word about Johnson. Me neither. Nothing. Nothing. Everyone that you hear from or you ask, say, like, great guy, really sharp, good hockey mind, but... Ian McIntyre references this in his story.
He writes, it is in the air around Vancouver and on the airwaves that ownership may doubt Johnson is ruthless enough to be an NHL general manager. And then IMAC put that in front of Trevor Linden and Linden said, I've never even heard that before. I disagree with that. I mean, Pat Quinn was a good human who cared about his players. And I think he was a pretty good general manager.
So I see Ryan as someone who's a good human and a hardworking guy and cares about people, but that doesn't mean he can't make hard decision. Um, So we'll see. We'll see how this plays out. As you said, it was a quiet weekend for the Canucks in the news department and the reports department. So let's go to the NHL playoffs now. Because it was not quiet in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Well, we were actually going to start maybe with the eliminated teams, but that all changed last night when the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks took center stage and became the co-main characters of the weekend. It was Ryan Poehling scoring 229 into overtime.
In a very controversial way, the Ducks won when Poehling's sharp angled shot trickled under Edmonton goalie Tristan Jari, who, by the way, was in net for Edmonton, replacing Connor Ingram, who had started the first couple games of this series. Jari played well, but the puck squeaked through and underneath his pad and looked as though it had gone in. Just one problem.

Chapter 5: What parallels exist between the Whitecaps and the Columbus Crew?
There was no definitive video evidence that clearly showed the puck had gone past the goal line. It was rightly inferred and common sense suggests looking at the shot that the puck was in. However... That's not necessarily how things play out in the National Hockey League, Jason.
Well, it has been before. I think there's been some goals that they've determined were goals basically on geometry or whatever.
But the process.
The process is what's the problem here. I think the process starts with the referee's decision to call it a goal on the ice, which they didn't right away. A number of the Ducks did, and they were quite emphatic. And I wonder if the emphatic nature of the Ducks calling goal on the ice and then the crowd reaction after the replay was shown in the arena and they were all cheering.
Did one of those things or both of those things influence the decision by the referees to then come out and be like, oh, by the way, the call on the ice was a goal. And then you go to replay and you're kind of like, well, is there enough in this replay to say it wasn't a goal? So... If I'm an Oilers fan this morning, first of all, I'm very upset. Because the Oilers are down 3-1.
And I'm mad at the process. But I'm not sure if I'm allowed to be mad at what happened. Because in my mind, and I think in most people's minds, even the most biased of Oilers fans... They'd be like, yeah, it was a goal. Look, I can, I've seen a number of shots. It was close, but I think, but I think it went in. The issue is how did the referees make that call? How did they say it was a goal?
How did they determine that? Because none of them were in position to call it a goal. Now, some people will be like, blah, blah, blah. Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter. The right call was made and that's all that matters.

Chapter 6: How did the NHL playoffs unfold over the weekend?
Uh, okay. But then, you know, do we just not care about process anymore? Do we not care about how this looks going forward? Wouldn't you love to be able to have a press conference with the Oilers and be like, hey, so who saw it go in? Because someone must have seen it go in. Was it you? Did you see it go in? Oh, you were over, but you were over there. How'd you see it? Do you have amazing eyes?
You must have been eating a lot of carrots before the game. Oh, did one of the linesmen call it in? Well, who called it in? Was there a goal judge there? Did they bring back the goal judges behind the net? Like it is unfathomable to me how they made that call without just saying, okay, well, the Ducks guys seemed pretty convinced that that was in. So let's go with the goal on the ice.
And then, you know, if there's video review that says it didn't go in, then we're all good. And then the video review was like, so weird. Weird. You know, like, yeah, there was not there. It's like we both most of us were like, yeah, that's probably it. Well, that's the trick. You just got to celebrate really, really hard and you convince them. That's been a thing for a long time.
You always celebrate and line up at center. That's always been a thing. Like there was an argument.
It has always been a thing.

Chapter 7: What are the key factors affecting the Bruins' playoff performance?
But I mean, this was listen. OK, let's talk. First of all, let's let's let's let's park that for a sec. OK, and let's talk about how important that goal is. The Oilers are down 3-1 in this series to Anaheim. And, you know, this hasn't been a goaltending thing. Like, it hasn't. I mean, Ingram wasn't great for the Oilers. He wasn't. And that's why they went to Tristan Jari. But...
I don't know about you guys, but I've watched all these games, and I would give the edge to the Ducks just in the play. I think they've been the better team. I really think they have, and I think the underlying stats bear that out, that the Ducks have been the better team.
Well, the regular counting stats bear it out. The Oilers have the worst combined save percentage of any of the 16 teams in the playoffs, and that counts the ones that have been eliminated. The power play for Anaheim is 6 for 12.
So this once vaunted Oilers penalty kill, remember how great it was when they went to the Stanley Cup final en route of nullifying the Canucks power play in the process, has absolutely hit the skids. Connor McDavid played 19 minutes in however long that game went, what, 62, 63 minutes? He's not right. He's not right. He's got something going on with his leg.
So, and you switch goalies three games in. So... Does Edmonton have a legitimate gripe with the process yesterday? Yes. Is that the reason that the Edmonton Oilers are behind 3-1 in this series? Absolutely not. Now, I do want to circle back to the process for a sec here because what you're talking about, some clarity on how the decision was made, that was never given.
This is Chris Knobloch after the game talking about the explanation or lack thereof that he got on the game-winning goal in overtime.

Chapter 8: What does the future hold for the Oilers and Canucks?
And this is where the NHL is going to come under a lot of scrutiny because while the right call was probably made, Process matters because you're not always going to get the call, right? But if you've got the steps to make it right, that's important.
That's a weird precedent for sure.
Here's knob block after the game.
Chris, do you think the officials had a view where they could tell that that was a goal in real time? Because that was the call on the ice. Is that the way that was communicated to you?
uh yeah i didn't get any communication um i thought um it was um yeah i i can't see it going in i can't see the line you can't see any space between the blue line and you see a lot of uh well similarly talk about the blue line offsides there's been many times where i've seen all this is offside and you know they don't have the absolute proof of it i thought that was going to be the call today also
Chris, off of that, how much do you think, though, the goal call, it being a goal call on the ice, and then figuring out the conclusiveness or inclusiveness was a factor in that?
Yeah, I guess the goal call on the ice was probably about 60 to... 90 seconds after, maybe even more. You know, they huddled and they got to the center ice and then they made the call that it was a good goal. So, I don't know. It wasn't very definitive.
See, that's not right. That's where I could say, if you're an Oilers fan, you should have a legitimate gripe with the way this played out because the closest person to seeing that puck go in was Chris Kreider, who was behind the net. And guess what Chris Kreider's going to do? He's going to celebrate and he's going to signal like it was a goal.
But there was no linesman and no referee behind the net at all. And if you watch it in real time, the puck is sitting under the skate and then swept back underneath Jari's pad pretty quick.
