In Headlines, the guys discuss the Maple Leafs blowing a two-goal lead in a Game 2 loss to the Florida Panthers. Find out why Ray thinks the Panthers were handed a ‘get out of jail free' card, and how the Leafs can prevent more ‘water bottle throwing'.  A rather bittersweet distinction is shared between Joe Pavelski and Leon Draisaitl as they each tallied 4-goals in a loss, the last player to score 4 in a playoff loss was… Ray Ferraro! Ray talks the 4-goal night back in the '93 playoffs, and weighing a personal accomplishment with the team falling short.  The Golden Knights vs. Oilers might be as ‘can't-miss' a playoff series as they come! A goal-filled Game 1, Mark Stone's effect on the Vegas lineup, and Stone's bothersome back injury are discussed as the guys predict a long battle between the Western Conference heavyweights.  Norris Trophy finalists were released this week, the guys compare their votes for the Norris, why they both felt Makar deserved a vote, and the fan-response to their votes.  Kris Abbott joins the show as the Leafs 0-2 deficit shifts their Stanley Cup favourite status, the ever-changing odds to lift Lord Stanley, and Ray explains why road-games have become less of a hill-to-climb. Plus, Draft Lottery odds, the probabilities of the bottom-3 winning, and the potential to bet on an outlier.  In Ask Ray & Dregs Anything, the guys answer YOUR questions every week! Today's episode includes questions on favourite playoff moments, the J.C Tremblay ‘flip' zone entry, and the (near-impossible) likelihood of a team trading the 2023 1st Overall Pick.

ESPN Hockey Analyst Ray Ferraro joined the OverDrive guys earlier today ahead of the Leafs Game One versus the Panthers. He touched on whether "this year is different", the Trouba hit on Timo Meier and why he's expecting the Cup in Canada this summer.

Having spent 16 seasons with 6 different teams as an NHL player, ‘Edzo' knows the game. But, did you know he's also a horse-racing enthusiast?? In fact, the Seattle Kraken and NHL on TNT broadcaster actually started his TV career in horse-racing! Olczyk spoke on his journey from the NHL to broadcasting, stories from playing and covering the game, and a short stint as Ray Ferraro's teammate that included a ‘Grand Slam' bet payday courtesy of Bobby Bonilla. Plus, how the Seattle Kraken pulled off their improbable victory over the Colorado Avalanche, ‘misfits' making an impact on the sophomore team, and Seattle's chances against Oettinger and the Stars. In Headlines, the guys discuss Game 7 between the Devils and Rangers, Ray explains why Jacob Trouba's MASSIVE hit on Timo Meier was clean, and the possibility of the NHL adopting International head contact rules. Plus, a disappointing end for a star-studded Rangers squad, splashy additions not making a difference, and if major changes are coming to New York. Ray compares the Bruins collapse to his wife Cammi Granato's 2002 USA hockey team's run of dominance that came to an abrupt end; did a lack of ‘adversity' play a factor in the Bruins demise? The firing of Calgary Flames head coach Darryl Sutter, the impact of player exit-meetings, and a disappointing season for the Flames rounds out Headlines. Kris Abbott joins the pod and talks his ‘bank account' reflecting a not-so-good average in his 1st round selections. However, it didn't go much better for the guys in a WILD start to the NHL playoffs. The pod makes their Round 2 picks ahead of puck-drop tonight, and Kris lays out some under-the-radar bets that are worth a look on Betano.ca. Follow us here!

ESPN's Rules Analyst, Dave Jackson, has the credentials to back up his title, he's officiated over 1500 NHL games! The former referee shared stories from stepping the ice with legends of the game; hearing it from the crowd for giving Wayne Gretzky an unsportsmanlike penalty, policing an all-out brawl, and debating rules with Ray Ferraro. Plus, the monumental change that instant video review brought to the game, and dealing with the ‘soul crushing' reality of social media.

Betano's Kris Abbott was away today, likely spending his winnings from the one time he bet on the Leafs and won.

Carol and Lizz looked at who stood out beyond Connor Bedard, including Canadian coach Dennis Williams. - The WHL trade deadline was pure chaos.

There were also many other big moves, including a couple of high-profile pros being re-assigned to junior. - The Florida Panthers are the NHL team of the week.

He discusses whether the Canucks can sustain their winning ways minus better defence.Presented by Jaguar Vancouver, Land Rover Vancouver & Audi Downtown Vancouver.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Perry talked his son's good luck phone call for teammate Steven Stamkos, and the celebration for Stamkos reaching 1000 points.

Plus, his fierce competitiveness, and the desire to play into his forties.  In Headlines the guys discuss Ottawa Senators RFA Alex Formenton's ineligible status, the ramifications of Formenton rejecting his qualifying offer, and the fallout of the ongoing investigation into Hockey Canada's 2018 World Junior team. Steven Stamkos crushes a well-deserved beer during his 1000th NHL point celebration, his ‘second-act' and remarkable career are celebrated. Continued hot-streaks from Jason Robertson and Mitch Marner are the talk of the league as two of the games young superstars continue to shred scoresheets. The Seattle Kraken extended their winning streak to 7-games, Ray credits GM Ron Francis for building the defence first.

It was an inspiring night, led by Kevin Bieksa, that saw the Vancouver Canucks offence burst for eight goals. Matt Sekeres and Jeff Paterson were joined by Ray Ferraro and Rick Dhaliwal to break it all down. Ray dropped a big name when comparing Elias Pettersson to a former player. Also, talked about what makes the Bruins so good and how it related to the message Bieksa had for the Canucks last night. Rick Dhaliwal followed that up with the importance of culture in the lockerroom and had an update on a number of Canucks' players who aren't playing right now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TSN & ESPN Hockey Analyst Ray Ferraro joined the OverDrive guys earlier today and got into a number of things including the Leafs starting Kallgren tomorrow in San Jose, the Coyotes visiting locker room accommodations, Nazem Kadri's first season with the Flames and more!

Ray is fresh off of his ‘close-up' after Bruce Arthur's piece on Ray was featured in this week's Toronto Star*. The insightful piece peeled back the curtain on Ray's career, and his decision behind leaving TSN. Ray gets real on his mental health, choosing family, and embracing change. Plus, the guys discuss their World Hockey Championship's culinary post-game ritual: a bucket of fries, and wine.  Headlines kicks off with a ‘hand pass' controversy in the Toronto Maple Leafs/Arizona Coyotes game, and the Coyotes' long run of success… in Toronto. Ray and Dregs talk Sheldon Keefe calling out his star players just three games in, Bruce Boudreau and the Canucks slipping on points they (likely) can't afford to lose, and an abysmal 20 goals against over 3 losses to start the year for the Minnesota Wild. AND, NHL bright spots so far, a rejuvenated Evgeni Malkin, and a brash, young Montreal Canadiens team.  ‘Cha-ching' was all Kris Abbott heard as he cashed in on the Arizona Coyotes being underdogs vs. the Leafs. Ray gloated as his undefeated NFL-picks record remains intact. Meanwhile, Dregs and Kris are left to wonder how Ray is pulling this off!? Ask R+D sees a suggestion on a new podcast segment, a listener asks why Mackenzie Weegar wasn't as highly regarded until now, another asks about the Huberdeau/Tkachuk trade assessment so far, and Ray is asked about his mindfulness practice. *Check out Bruce Arthur's piece on Ray Ferraro in the Toronto Star: https://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/opinion/2022/10/17/why-ray-ferraro-stepped-away-from-tsn-and-his-hockey-obsession.html Season 4 Episode 7 is presented by our title sponsor Canadian Club Whisky: who are asking: 'Are You Over Beer?', Boston Pizza - pick it up or get it delivered right to your door, let Boston Pizza do the cooking tonight, and by DUER: Use code ‘RND15' to save 15% off pants at DUER.ca.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TSN Hockey Analyst Ray Ferraro joined the OverDrive guys earlier today with the NHL preseason off and running. He touched on our earlier convo regarding organ music, what he makes of John Tavares missing camp and the start of the season & his narration of the Trophy Town documentary airing on TSN tonight!

Dregs packed up the ‘cabbage' and booted summer to the curb, while Ray is still in ‘soccer dad' mode, but ready for a new season! The NHL is BACK, and Ray Ferraro and Darren Dreger give you the goods in a NEW format for the Ray and Dregs Hockey Podcast. We're taking a page out of Kellogg's Raisin Bran and giving you double the SCOOPS, with TWO podcasts every week!  In Episode 1, the guys breakdown all the teams to watch ahead of massive changes in NHL rosters this off-season. The Colorado Avalanche took some hits, Ray examines their goaltending, and which players need to step up with Nazem Kadri jumping over to the Calgary Flames. Of course, the Flames are amongst topics discussed, a huge roster overhaul makes them the most compelling team to watch this season. Also, the albatross Toews and Kane contracts, and their not-so-secret dissatisfaction with the direction of the Chicago Blackhawks. Plus, a fiery Maple Leafs Head Coach, Sheldon Keefe, has Ray recounting his playing days and tough coaching styles. Kris Abbott brought a ‘Mediterranean' flavour to the show after a jet-setting summer. He talks Aaron Judge on the cusp of history, the NFL's wild and whacky start to the season, and much more, as the betting aficionado will be joining the pod regularly once again! Ask R+D sees questions on the asking price of Jacob Chychrun, and how he'd look on the Ottawa Senators, Bo Horvat's contract talks with the Canucks, and Ray's preference to see a 3-2-1 point system in the NHL.  Season 4 Episode 1 is presented by our title sponsor Canadian Club Whisky: who are asking: 'Are You Over Beer?', Boston Pizza - pick it up or get it delivered right to your door, let Boston Pizza do the cooking tonight, and by DUER: Use code ‘RND15' to save 15% off pants at DUER.ca.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
