BIG Hits in the Stanley Cup Final, Golden Knights Depth, & Blue Jackets/Babcock

The Ray & Dregs Hockey Podcast

Dregs is fresh off a West-coast trip to Kamloops for the Memorial Cup; which saw a Patrick Roy’s Quebec Remparts capture the championship. Ray is recuperating from the NHL season, but may not quite be settled back into home-life after fighting a losing battle with carrots…

In Headlines, the guys talk a Vegas Golden Knights team that appears to be running away with the Stanley Cup Final. Undisciplined play by the Panthers and if Paul Maurice’s club can recover after a blowout Game 2 loss. Two HUGE collisions in the contest have the guys asking, Dirty or Clean? Ray breaks down why he believes the reverse-hit should be called interference and the guys wonder why the Tkachuk hit on Eichel didn’t rally more momentum for the Panthers.

Mike Babcock is set to return to the NHL, the Columbus Blue Jackets are presumed to hire the former Maple Leafs bench-boss. The guys discuss the controversy surrounding Babcock’s hiatus from coaching, the questions on how he has spent his time away, and if he will mesh with the personalities in the Blue Jackets room.

Kris Abbott is jet-setting (for work), leaving the guys to chat the latest Betano.ca betting lines. With Game 3's moneyline odds being thinly in-favour of the Golden Knights, the individual player odds emerge as an interesting play. Jack Eichel for Conn Smythe perhaps??

In Ask Ray & Dregs Anything, the guys answer YOUR questions every week! This week, listeners asked who Ray chirped the most in his NHL career, the change-up in routine with different playoff start-times, and the chances of a Connor Bedard trade. Plus, the guys recount their most memorable interviews.
