Manitoba Moose

I do also want to push back a little on your assessment of Lambert from the previous trade.

Yes, his numbers look bad, but the Manitoba Moose is bad as a whole and has to be one of the most hostile environments for prospect development in the HL.

as there are many examples of players you can point to whose ultimate upside and ceilings have been impacted by playing there.

Lambert being one, but also Braden Yeager, Colby Barlow, Vili Hainola, Chaz Luchas, Nikita Chiburkov, and on.

We'll preview the upcoming week for the Winnipeg Jets.

Lis and I were both at the Moose game yesterday.

Nice 3-0 season opening win for the Manitoba Moose.

We'll talk about that a little bit later on as well.

And the most important storyline on today's show by, by a long shot actually, is going to be our Chud's Power Sports Power Poll, because folks, on Friday afternoon we got the personalized goal songs.

Uh, fights, is fired up.

The, uh, intermission interview with Danielle Bain was awesome.

Um, and, and Ty Bauer, like, I've had some conversations with him when he was down on the Moose, uh, talking with him before the game yesterday as well.

I love taking down the Hellebuck poster.

And, of course, I'm a big Moose fan, my son and I.

By the way, I think we're going to put down a deposit for this National Super League women's soccer team, Darren.

We live right by the Ralph Cantafio Stadium that they're going to perk up.

Lots of great things.

Daniel Fink, the voice of the Manitoba Moose, will be stopping by here in about 10 minutes to talk about opening day yesterday and lots of things coming out of that.

And then Trevor Thompson.

A longtime reporter in Detroit will be telling us what's going on in the Red Wings.

Small town mom saying.

100%.

You know, someone who knows Ty well and who is very happy, I'm sure, to be able to see him make his NHL debut is the voice of the Manitoba Moose, Daniel Fink, who joins us now from, oh.

From somewhere else in this ring.

A guy to definitely keep our eyes on, uh, this year.

Uh, he had a good year with the Manitoba Moose in the AHL last year, where he had 32 points, 10 goals, 22 assists.

And then with the Winnipeg Jets in, in '24/25, he got into 36 games, where he did have 6 points.

But this is a guy who just had the best, uh, year of his career down in the AHL.

But, hey, you know, it's exciting to have you guys back and hockey back.

And the Moose are kicking ass today, too.

So, hey, maybe the future is brighter, Winnipeg.

We'll see what happens.

in the AHL at all? I mean, when Kastelik played for the Bellville Senators.

Was he before Bauer was with the Moose? No.

Well,

I looked on Hawks for

for sure.

Tonight, I was going to quickly say, Dave, I mean, I'll let you go on here, but tonight was a great night for Ty, right? Like, Dave, you know, we've had Ty on the show.

Dave, you know, has talked to Ty, and at this point, probably hundreds of times, you know, with the Moose, and there's nobody more well-deserving.

I mean, this is the AHL man of the year, right? This is not only, you know, a guy who has paid his dues in the AHL, but he's a guy who know who goes out in the community and and dave will tell you i mean he's the type of guy that you know he's very humble he doesn't need people to know that all the stuff that he does in the community so as far as i'm concerned you know ty bauer can do no wrong you know he had a great debut and like you said drew we know that when elia salamonson comes back there's a good chance that you know ty bauer is going to come out of the lineup but for just tonight you know he makes his nhl debut gets in a fight You know, he played really well, Dave.
