All right, let's get into our morning guest list. It's the Duik Morning Drive brought to you by the Duik Auto Group. It begins at 6.30 this morning. Mike Morial is going to join the program. Senior draft writer from NHL.com. Mike has been putting in work this week. Boots on the ground at the NHL draft scouting combine in Buffalo.
Earlier this week, he interviewed and wrote on Caleb Malhotra, which we talked about on the show. He also recently wrote about the Ruck Twins. So we'll talk to Mike about all that and more from the Draft Combine in Buffalo at 6.30. I think Drancer was reporting that the Ruck Twins... have been requesting that they be drafted together. Okay.
I have had too many people come up and ask me, hey, are we going to get the Ruck twins at the draft? And I'm like, I can't tell you definitively. I don't know what a Ruck twin looks like. I couldn't tell you. But it is at least interesting that...
like the year that the canucks hired the sedins as you know their co-presidents there's another set of twins that want to go together at the draft i have wondered aloud it is worth noting they're supposed to go way apart from each other though in the draft one's like 24 and one's like 42 i think on the board i don't know there's that it's not like a daniel henrik situation where they're like technically i knew one was better than the other yeah and i don't know which one is the 24 or whatever that was as much as i was willing to learn about the right there is a divide there
Also, it would be hilarious if Daniel and Henrik's Achilles heel as executives was they were inherently biased towards twins to the point where they were like just actively seeking them out every draft. Wouldn't that be something when they have two first round picks? Yeah. Let me get this straight.

Chapter 4: What updates were provided from the NHL Draft Combine?
You spent both of your first round picks on the Rock Twins. Yes, we did. Yeah. No more questions. All of the prospects of the draft. It's really weird. Vancouver kept asking if I had a relative in the draft. Anyone I was related to by blood or otherwise. Okay. Seven o'clock. AJ from AJ's Pizza is going to join the program.

Lots to get into a gym at 7.05 this morning.
7.30, David Amber, Hockey Night in Canada, Sportsnet, NHL host. What a game. Last night in Carolina, Canes rally from a two... I think this series has been a bit of a snoozer, to be honest. I think I was right. Okay. I think I was... I think I was right. It's been a lot of checking out there.
Right as usual. Right as usual, right?
I think we were all right. It's two of the biggest... Again, I am right in my analysis. It's two of the biggest haters... For a lot of different things, but specifically this matchup going into the Stanley Cup final. We may, underline may, have been proven wrong. There's only two games. Could still get boring from here, but last night was amazing. That was a great game. I disagree. I don't know.
I flipped it over to something else. You know what? In addition to being a hater, he's also incredibly stubborn. Quadruple overtime of game seven? I may be wrong about this series. David Amber is going to join us. There's so much checking out there. It has to go to quadruple overtime.
David Amber is going to join us at 7.30 to talk about the Stanley Cup final after Seth Jarvis' heroics last night. That's going to happen at 7.30. Finally, at 8 o'clock, Rick Dollywall is going to join the program. Intrepid Canucks reporter Donnie and Dolly on Check TV. We'll talk about Manny Malhotra's introductory presser.
Rick also has updates on Brendan Gallagher, Teddy Bluger, and Curtis Douglas. A whole lot more as well. So stick around for that. Rick Dollywell is going to join us in two hours time at 8 a.m. We got a huge show ahead. We got a ton to get into. So without further ado, Laddie, tell everybody what happened. Hey, did you guys see the game last night? No.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the Canucks drafting Caleb Malhotra?
No. What? You missed it? You missed that? Whoa! While we will get into the news from yesterday locally with Manny Malhotra's introductory presser in Vancouver, we got to start with last night's game two of the Stanley Cup final. Seth Jarvis, power play goal, 356 into overtime with TomĆ”Å” Hrdle in the box serving a penalty.
The Carolina Hurricanes in dramatic fashion last night, even things up in the series, a 4-3 win in overtime. Here's what Jarvis' game-winning goal in overtime sounded like. the critics wondering where they've been if they score the game winner in overtime Goss despair they score Seth Jarvis quiets the critics and ignites the crowd
If only Seth Jarvis had some friends or buddies, as I like to call them, to celebrate the goal with. Big night for Carolina. I'm enjoying the internet because Seth Jarvis' friends have, like, jumped the shark for some reason. I saw some people are like, don't they have jobs? The backlash has begun. Come on, they're having a great time.
I think it's an awesome story that he's got all those buddies hang traveling around. Ooh, conflict. Conflict. Before you got in this morning, we spent the better part of 10 minutes ragging. on Seth Jarvis' buddies. Why? I don't know. Guess who hates the story? Oh, of course, Halford hates it. Did you miss the beginning of the show? Of course, Halford hates it. Generational haters.
Anyone that's having fun. Rock comedy live from the hater building. Anyone that's enjoying their lives. The Rock Twins, Seth Jarvis' buddies. We don't care for them. No, it was a very, very big moment yesterday for Seth Jarvis and his denim-clad buddies and the Carolina Hurricanes yesterday.
So they even the series, a huge comeback in the third period, erasing a two nothing deficit on goals from the stank oven, Logan stank and Mark Jankowski and Jordan stall some major drama in the third period yesterday. And it came around the 15 minute Mark when it looked like Vegas had scored a goal, go ahead goal.
Freddie Anderson made what appeared to be a diving, sprawling stick save on Ivan Barbashev's wraparound. The puck did go in the net, but the goal was waved off. Waved off due to goalie interference. Vegas, in a pretty bold move, tied 2-2 in the third period, decided to challenge the goal and see if they could overturn the no-goal call on the ice.

Chapter 6: How do the Ruck Twins compare in the upcoming draft?
That did not happen. The Canes went to the power play. Shane Goss' despair scored, but then Mark Stone scored late to tie it to three-three. It was a wild third period. Is a controversial goal or goal challenge now, do you absolutely have to have that as part of any classic hockey game now? It's kind of starting to feel like it. Last night, people were like, that's an instant classic.
I was like, did it have a controversial goal decision? It was like, yep. I was like, yep, that's part of being an NHL fan now is... You know, having a comment or an opinion on a controversial goal and, you know, everyone knows is like, what was the call on the ice? I mean, that's the most important thing, right? The call on the ice.
And then it's, you know, it's hard to overturn once they've made that call on the ice and you just go through this. This dance again, and half the time I'm like, I bet Gary Bettman's thinking, like, I told everyone this was going to happen. I think it's great, though. As soon as you introduce this, you love challenges? You love the controversy? Yeah, I love the theater of all of it.
I love that the coaches are now put into this hugely important position in the game where their call can make or break not just the game, but a series. Think about Jim Hiller last year. Yeah. Right. Where he made that very controversial decision up to nothing in the series against Edmonton. A lot of people said that that turned the entire thing on its head. Those are the moments.
It adds things to it. It does, for sure. But I would rather just see the action play out on the ice because last night I'm watching that game. I'm like, this is the best. This is Stanley Cup final hockey history. At its best. Listener Luke wants to know how many Michelin stars you'd give the game. Three. Oh, three. Wow. Yeah, it was a very good game. What's the max? I think three is the max.
Oh, okay.

Chapter 7: What is the latest on Gavin McKenna's performance?
Yeah, three. It was a really good hockey game. And, you know, I will say that this series lends credence to the idea that Carolina had a very easy path to the Stanley Cup Finals. This has been way more difficult for them than it was in the first three rounds. I'll tell you that. Way more difficult for them. And I think it was you that pushed back.
Or was it Wish that pushed back on the notion that they'd had a relatively easy path? Wish pushed back on it. To the final? I said Vegas was the best team in the playoffs going in. And Wish said, I don't know so much about the path through the East. Because he thought that Ottawa was their toughest matchup or the... Of the two, I said nobody locks it down like Vegas.
Vegas was the best checking team, the best defensive team. It doesn't really matter who said what, because what you're talking about, the road through the East, I agreed with you. I thought it was easy. I even thought the first round against Ottawa, where everyone was like, that's a sneaky dark horse pick. I was like, no, Carolina plays Ottawa hockey. They just play it better.
Everything that Ottawa does, Carolina does it to a better degree. Philly was a walkover, and then Montreal, I think, was two things. One, not quite ready. to be a Stanley Cup contender. But most importantly, completely out of gas because they played two seven-game series and Carolina was super rested. So, you know, they had an advantage certainly in the Philly series.
Like, Flyers are a mediocre team, right? They played their system well and they had good goaltending, but they weren't close in terms of quality to Carolina. And that was obvious from the drop of the puck in that series. Yeah. Now they got a Vegas team that is bigger and stronger than the team, certainly bigger and stronger than Montreal. For sure.
Has more gas in the tank because don't forget, they had a quick conference final, believe it or not, against Colorado. And this is turning into a terrific series. Despite, you know, us saying like, oh, it's going to be a lot of checking. Like, it is a lot of checking, but it's also a lot of nice playmaking as well. One of the narratives. I mean, the checking. Think about checking.
Like, Stankoven's goal. Yeah. was that was checking. And that was, I think, one of my favorite goals of the Stanley Cup. Maybe my favorite, the favorite goal of the Stanley Cup playoffs. I mean, to do what he did on the forecheck, he did it all. He got in on the forecheck. He made contact. Was it Anderson that he turned it over on? I can't remember. The Vegas defenseman.
And he stole the puck, brought the puck out himself, and scored the goal. That is an unbelievable effort. Well, to do it in the moment that he did, too, where they were desperate for a goal and potentially staring down an 0-2 deficit, losing both games at home. That was a massive play by Stankovic. You're right. It had a lot to do with his checking prowess.
I do want to turn our attention to one thing to monitor now when the series shifts back to Vegas. And that's Torts being Torts and Torts becoming and getting a little bit more main character energy than I think he has throughout this playoff. You will remember, of course, that he drew some attention to himself after the Anaheim series when he bailed out of his media responsibilities.

Chapter 8: What are the expectations for the Canucks moving forward?
And we're still early in the playoffs. Well, Torts last night. Pretty risky challenge, all things considered. And in his post-game media availability, we're going to play the entirety of it for you because it took a grand total of 95 seconds to play out.
Here's what it sounded like yesterday when a very irate and a very curt John Tortorella took to the podium following a overtime loss to Carolina. Here's what it sounded like.
John, can you take us through what you were thinking on the challenge there, what you saw and how you felt?
I saw a loose puck in front of Freddie. Our player stabbed it, didn't move the goalie, and it goes through him and to the other side. I challenge it 10 out of 10 times. Right side, front row, Ken. The first 50 minutes of that game, you guys did quite a good job of making them have a really hard time to get anything. Obviously, it didn't go that way the last 10.
Do you feel like you can take enough out of those first 50 to move forward? Yes. We'll go right side, third row, Mike. John, just how scary was it to see with what happened to Braden? How's he doing? I haven't talked to the medical people yet. How would you think of the five guys that had to rally for two periods on the back? Yeah, they played well. Other questions? Left side, second row, Jesse.
John, the penalty kill had obviously been great in the game. They get those two in a row at the end. Did you see anything different in the penalty kill? I haven't looked at the clips yet. Anything else? Right side, third row. Every playoff run seems to have moments where you learn about your team, a different moment.
What was the moment that you learned more about this team in these past two games? We have a good team, a very good team. Anything else? Left side, back row. You talked about the first 50 minutes. What can you tell us about what you think changed and added to their momentum? I have my thoughts. I'm not discussing it here. All right. I love the conductor there being like, Anyone else want to try?
So we pivot from one. Next. One type of press conference to another, a much more loquacious one yesterday. Quite frankly, more inspiring. Manny Malhotra met with the media yesterday upon being introduced as the 23rd head coach in Vancouver Canucks franchise history. And let's just say, Jason, a little bit more uplifting than what Torts had to say following game two last night.
You know how you call yourself a generational hater and even you, like Seth Jarvis' buddies are annoying you for some reason now because they're having fun and I don't know, maybe you're not. I can already feel a bit of a backlash to the media's gushing praise for what's happened over the last few weeks. I can feel it too. But I'm going to heap some more praise onto the pile because...
