Elliotte Friedman on Vegas as a hockey market, Damon Severson and Mike Babcock
Hockey Night in Canada Insider Elliotte Friedman joined the guys from Vegas to chat about the buzz around the Stanley Cup Final, the Canucks potential interest in Damon Severson and more.
I’ve been hard on your show for having useless guests and “insiders” but Elliotte Friedman is the exception. Craig Button,Darren Dreger(Bob McKenzie school types)can talk a lot without ever actually saying anything. E.Friedman is levels above them. However Dhaliwal’s presence is ever baffling. He’s painful to listen to.
“This is a great market” – Vegas has made the playoffs in 4 of 5 seasons, been to the conference finals 2 times, and now playing for the cup. I bet it’s a great hockey market, the market’s never struggled
I was wondering how they'd fill seats with anyone but tourists when they put a team in Vegas, given how many people are employed by the service industry and many of them work nights, but winning helps a lot and being experts in the entertainment industry doesn't hurt either. The Canucks have to clear cap space just to sign more than a couple of players in the minors. This could be the worst offseason for Vancouver in a very long time and that's saying something. Toronto missed their window of opportunity to move on from any of their Big Four, now that the last of them just had their NMCs kick in.

The Vegas fans are way louder than Toronto's

Do Vegas fans know the difference between off side and icing?

Friedman is the MAN!

C'mon Elliotte, keep your Hampton to yourself
I don't remember a Stanley Cup I was less interested in.

Don is right. Rick shouldnt be asking for guests hotel names… its hella cringey.
Q & Bowman knew about it 😮? Ie they lied about it and can't recall the incident.
Babcock 8:15 ? If Columbus hires him, I'm burning my CBJ jersey 🔥 . Jarmo kekelenen and John Davidson should be fired with cause. No pay.
Patrick Roy has basically rage quit twice. I wouldn’t waste my time.
Severson lives in Kelowna.
