PON Road Show 02 - You Boeser You Bet

It's the second instalment of the PON Road Show! With Ryan on the road covering the WHL Playoffs, he enlists the PON Black Aces Simon, TSN 1040's Stu Walters and Grant to sit around the hotel room and discuss this week in hockey.

The biggest news (for Canucks fans) is the signing of Brock Boeser. Brock's NCAA season finished Friday night and by Saturday morning, he was a signed Vancouver Canuck and made his debut in hometown against the slumping Minnesota Wild. The Brock hype has begun and they discuss what this means for the Canucks, their youth movement and the rebuild.

They discuss Willie D's future with the Canucks. Grant makes a solid case to keep him around based on his positive development with the Canucks and the young kids on the team. Has his tough love and forcing the kids to earn their spots finally paying off? Is it time to cut him loose or keep him around when he's needed most?

They also discuss Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk's comments about Sidney Crosby and his regular comments speaking against his own players and their opponents. Are Melnyk's comments a positive or a negative for the fans, the team and the players? Or is it a distraction and a cause of concern?

Leon Draisaitl also comes up. He is leading the Oilers in scoring behind Connor McDavid and has become a HUGE part of the Oilers roster. They discuss his development and the different approaches taken with Draisaitl compared to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

Finally, they discuss Brad Marchand's amazing season with the Boston Bruins. Going from noted cheap shot artist to Hart Trophy candidate, what changed? Will it last? And what does this mean going forward now that the Bruins are slowly becoming his team?
