TSN (The Sports Network)

But it didn't go that way last year, and that's a cautionary tale that sometimes on paper it doesn't work out that way when you play the games.

So we all took part in, uh, the top 50 voting, and TSN This Week Every Day is unveiling a next, you know, the next 10 players, and today it was 21 through 30.

And Willy Nylander came in at number 30.

Uh, Scheifele, who had 100 points last year, 29.

They just don't.

don't.But, okay, and then the point was made yesterday, I saw Chris Johnson from TSN talking about this, how teams will get- record that information with the fitness testing-

Yeah

...

And so it's just like, I don't know if that's how it started.

I've just saw what TSN posted.

But, like, you lose me right there.

Like, we knew it was gonna be bad-

Listen to Melnyk in the Afternoon on your smart speaker.

[static crackles] Just ask for TSN 690.

[upbeat music] Melnyk in the Afternoon.

TSN 690.

[upbeat music]

Uh, my father would, would never, ever put down a healthy animal.

... as to what the future of the game looks like for Max Domi.

Would Hellebuyck not reporting to camp force Cheveldayoff to move quicker on a trade? This is guy who knows something about goaltending on, uh, The After Show.

I'm gone.

Welcome back, hour number three, Melnyk in the Afternoon, TSN 690.

Mentioned earlier, got a couple of, uh, early wedding gifts.

Brand new Tom Petty from the vaults, and, uh, this, uh, Dylan package, 1976 live recordings, the second leg of the Rolling Thunder Review.

Confident?

... moderately confident in.

This sets things up nicely for Pierre LeBrun, who's returning every Wednesday at 4:35 from TSN and The Athletic.

He's coming up next.

Oh yeah, they're playing our song.

Welcome back, Melnyk in the Afternoon on TSN 690, along with John Still.

He's at Stad Saputo.

CF Montreal and Vancouver tonight, 7:00 right here on TSN 690.

Lucas Scott, Mitch Melnyk until 6:00.

Aaron Ward, Pierre McGuire back to back in the final hour.

What a pleasure it is to welcome back, back in his slot from a year ago, every Wednesday at this time from TSN and The Athletic, Monsieur Pierre LeBrun.

How are you?

Now, this game was held in the shadow of, uh, Murrayfield.

It's, uh, the home ground for Edinburgh Rugby Club, and you know, when, uh, turned on the game, which, uh, if you watched it live, was now on TSN Premier, uh, previously known a- or TSN Premium.

Pre- it used to be TSN+.

Yeah.

You- Mm ... you know what I mean.

Um, and then it was replayed later on, uh, TSN 3, so trying to watch it live, and by the time I got everything set up, I'd already missed the first try, of course, hadn't I? Um, but fortunately, there were a lot more tries to come.

Mm.

I think this was a excellent start for the players, for the team.

Because I just said, what are you all seeing? Well, I'm seeing a lot of what you're seeing.

I cover all, I follow the TSN feeds, Spittin' Chicklets, Puck Empire, whatever, Sportsnet.

Is there more to the story than Hellebuck's not reporting for camp? And I said, what do you do with him? And Vancouver Eric writes in, he says, if you're Winnipeg, just let the kids sit and ponder a year of not playing hockey.

Move on.

Pump Jacks Cathedral, Pump Jacks, Weyburn.

Thank you, Producer Chori.

But Rod Smith, the lead play-by-play caller for the CFL on TSN, is in our pick pool.

And a bunch of restauranters that I didn't even know followed this show are in our pick pool for Pump Jacks.

And I think the Flyers certainly wouldn't mind him.

You've got on the official TSN first insider trading segment of the season.

Pierre Lebrun, Chris Johnston, Darren Dreger.

Dreger had this to say.

I'm really, really eager to see who potentially emerges, who thrives in this camp with respect to some power play positioning.

Guys, what do you think of the Detroit news of...

TSN saying the Flyers are big game hunting, although I don't really think there's too much substance behind that.

We know already where Danny Breer is, what he wants to do.
