My old roommate, the chiseler, a.k.a. the voice from the past, who lives in Nevada now, fired off a message. So that one's for him to open up today's show. As we bring back First Century Casino and the all-new Selly's Sports Bar and Lounge Experience, big screen energy and game day specials, Every day is a game day at Century Casino.

Who are the guests featured in this episode?
How are you doing? I'm good, Bob. How are you doing? I'm doing good. I was sad to hear the news on Dave Mason. I love that song.
Yeah, I do too. You know, it's interesting. We announced the Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees yesterday. They made the announcement two days ago, but we did it on hockey night last night. They're going to have Feist, the hip, Mike Reno and Loverboy and Rock Voisin go in. But I always love the writing aspect. I've gone to the Massey Hall ceremony. I had the pleasure of inducting Jim Cuddy and Greg Keeler of Blue Rodeo. But yeah, Dave Mason right there with one of the great guys at penning, you know, all the different selves that we become.
Now, if I am, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, I could have sworn that Michelle Tarion... who i believe was a police officer at one time also did extra security for rock bossine when he was a big star in the in the mid uh midnight just before he became a a prominent coach do you ever hear this story no i know that rock was a hockey player though so it kind of makes sense he played uh really high level he was a great u18 aaa hockey player and then he played

The Oilers have won nine in the last four years and won a playoff series. It is hard to win, and youth is being served around the league as well. And we've got a couple teams that – Montreal's got a chance to close out a team in game six at home tomorrow. You've got another – Buffalo and Boston, another young team.
Anaheim, another young team. Even the Flyers taking care of Pittsburgh last night. What's your sort of overall – Go for it.

But I will say the difference between the Ducks and the Blue Jackets, the Blue Jackets had three hits, the Ducks had 40 two nights ago. So that's a big difference. But they did look young.
