Darren Pang - St. Louis Blues Colour Analyst

Panger joins "The Opening Drive" to drop a little line on last night's MNF game before getting into the Blues getting ready to start the regular season, getting excited for his combined Blues-TNT schedule, what the move with Neighbours means, his expectation for Neighbours to still start the season on the roster, Toropchenko's surprising recovery from his shoulder injury, his thoughts on Logan Brown's play from last season through the preseason this year, how good the Blues offense will be this season--especially compared to last year and whether or not the argument for Ovechkin-over-Gretzky has some legs.

Darren Pang and Brian Lawton on todays NHL roundtable with Bob and John. The four talk about all of the moves that have happened during the NHL's off-season and debate on which team won the deal that sent Matthew Tkachuk from the Calgary Flames to the Florida Panthers.  We also get into a heated discussion on the future of the Arizona Coyotes. The four go back and forth on the idea of the NHL keeping a team in Arizona and discuss the teams home ice accommodations for next year before moving on to Nazem Kadri as we wonder why the Stanley Cup Champion has yet to sign a contract with a team.

The Colorado Avalanche won game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Darren Pang stops by to talk about it.  The three break down the events of the game and discuss the contrasting styles of play, the production from both teams star players and question how much the altitude effects Tampa's game play. We also get into a lengthy conversation about coaching as we ask Darren what kind of role an NHL Head Coach plays in their day-to-day coaching. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode begins with a discussion about the LIV golf tour that is handing out hundreds of millions of dollars to people like Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson.  The money is so great that several PGA players have resigned from the tour to accept the Saudi money.   Toronto Mike and I have differing thoughts.  Also, the latest on the BlueJays as they've called up catcher Gabe Moreno for their weekend series in Detroit.  He's expected to get a good long look as the Jays continue to battle the incredible Yankees (41-16) in the AL East.   We talk about the Canadian Open, Canada soccer and at about 25:00, Darren Pang joins us from his home in Michigan, and gives us a look at his lakefront property as we see his dog, Bruce, go after some waterfowl.   Darren talks about his career as a goalie, his life behind the mic for ESPN, TNT and the St. Louis Blues, and he reveals his NHL neighbors who live nearby on that lake in Michigan.    Hope you enjoy this episode.
