In near-perfect conditions following a week of brutal French heat, Sunday's Paris Diamond League produced three Diamond League records.In this episode:– Audrey Werro came to Paris explicitly targeting the women's 800m world record and ran a personal best of 1:53.80 — a Diamond League record, meet record, world lead, and Swiss national record. She's now the only woman ever with multiple sub-1:54 performances (three of them, all this season). The world record is 1:53.28, set by Jarmila Kratochvílová in 1983. Werro is 0.52 back.– Femke Broeders-Bol's 800m transition is real. The reigning 400m hurdles world champion ran 1:55.60 in the 800m — a massive personal best — finishing second behind Werro's Diamond League record. Her move to the 800m is no longer an experiment.– Cam Myers ran 3:28.00 in the Paris Diamond League 1500m — a personal best by over a second, the 27th fastest time in history, and faster than Jakob Ingebrigtsen at the same age (Jakob ran 3:28.68 at 20). Myers beat a field that included 3:27 man Azeddine Habz and 2025 World Championship medalists Jake Wightman and Reynold Cheruiyot– What it all means for the Bowerman Mile at the Prefontaine Classic– Grant Fisher won the Paris Diamond League 5000m in 12:54.80, edging Jacob Krop (12:55.22) and Andreas Almgren (12:55.38) in a stacked field where ten athletes broke 13:00. The win also marked the fifth Diamond League victory by an American men's mid-distance runner in 2026 — the most ever in a single year, with seven meets still remaining.– Marco Arop dominates the men's 800m. He confirmed after the race that he intends to go for the record this year: “Clearly I'm in shape for it”– Trayvon Bromell beats Noah Lyles and there's Twitter comments afterward by the Olympic champion– Jamal Britt runs 12.89 PB in Paris — his 10th win of 2026, his 12th meet since April– Collen Kebinatshipi runs 43.54 Diamond League record in Paris. + More highlights and shout-outs from around the running world including Western States.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠⁠ + Preet Majithia | ⁠⁠⁠@preet_athletics⁠⁠⁠ + Mac Fleet | @macfleetProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBANDIT: For 2026, Bandit is providing support for any Unsponsored athletes competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships.

Anyone that has undergone the ambitious task of Implementing an ISO Standard will know how much work goes into creating and maintaining a single ISO certification. Now imagine juggling seven ISO certifications! There's a key difference between those that simply collect badges and those that see the value each ISO certification can bring, as every Standard has their own requirements and guidance to tackle specific areas of quality, risk and sustainability. When implemented well, they create a solid well-rounded framework that can drive unparalleled continual improvement. In this episode Ian is joined by Damian Edwards, Head of Standards at Wavenet, to dive into how they manage the mammoth task of maintaining seven ISO Standards, the challenges with managing multiple ISO certifications and what benefits they've brought to the business since implementation.   You'll learn ·      Who is Damian Edwards? ·      Who are Wavenet? ·      How did Damian manage integrating management systems during Wavenet's acquisition of Daisy Corporate Services? ·      What is Damian's role at Wavenet? ·      How do Wavenet manage their ISO certifications? ·      How has ISO Support helped you over the past year? ·      What has Damian learned while managing ISO Standards? ·      What are the benefits of ISO certification? ·      Damain's top tip for anyone considering ISO Implementation   Resources ·      Wavenet ·      Wavenet Certifications ·      Blackmores – ISO Support Service ·      Isologyhub   In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Episode Summary – We welcome Damian Edwards back onto the podcast to discuss how he maintains Wavenet's seven ISO certifications, and the explore the benefits gained from an integrated ISO Management System.   [03:05] Who is Damian Edwards? Damian is the Head of Standards at Wavenet, and has featured on the ISO Show before! One lesser known fact about Damian, is that he a 'Dance dad', supporting his daughter through all of her lessons and competitions. He's very proud of her latest achievement of qualifying for the World Championship for Irish dancing in her age group. [05:05] Who are Wavenet? Wavenet is an IT provider, providing IT network communications, security and resilience services. They are UK based with 1,600 employees based in their Solihull head office. Wavenet were formed in 2000, but have grown through acquisition, one of which was Damians previous company, Daisy Corporate Services. When Daisy was acquired, both businesses were of a similar size, so the process looked more like a merger in practice. A large part of that was uniting the ISO Standards managed by both businesses, so Damian had his hands full with ISO integration, amending audit schedules and managing extension to scope audits. [06:30] How did Damian manage integrating management systems during Wavenet's acquisition of Daisy Corporate Services? One of the biggest challenges was the extension to scope that needed to happen due to the increase in sites. Thankfully, as Wavenet were used to acquisitions, they had dedicated acquisition project managers that assist with managing the integration. At the start, there are some teething problems as both businesses will still be using their respective processes for a while. However, once system that helped was a system called 'ServiceNow', which is where issue tickets could be logged, monitored and actioned in one centralised system. [08:15] What is Damian's role at Wavenet? Damian is the Head of Standards, which includes both ISO Standards and ESG related regulatory compliance. ISO certifications are more often than not a prerequisite or a condition of a bid over a contract, without them, Wavenet wouldn't win any business. They also create a foundation of trust for Wavenet's clients in the realms of Information Security, quality and environmental management. Wavenet are currently certified to the following Standards: ·      ISO 9001 Quality Management ·      ISO 20000-1 Service Management ·      ISO 27001 Information Security Management ·      ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management ·      ISO 45001 Health & Safety Management ·      ISO 14001 Environmental Management ·      ISO 50001 Energy Management In addition to maintaining all of these certifications, Damian also strives to utilise them to drive continual improvement within the business.   [10:30] How do Wavenet manage their ISO certifications? Damian is directly responsible for five of those ISO Standards, however there are some where he doesn't have the expertise to fully manage the requirements. ISO 27001 and ISO 45001 for example require skilled people at the helm, so Wavenet have dedicated managers to handle those areas. One of Damians key responsibilities is juggling all of the audits to make sure each element is covered, and he's put a lot of work into integrating those audits where possible to get the most out of their time and resources. Though, it's important to note that you can't integrate everything, as each standard will have some unique requirements. Areas that you can integrate however include elements such as: ·      Context ·      Audit Programme ·      Corrective Actions When you do have a lot of Standards, some elements can get watered down if you try to integrate everything. Policy for example, if you have five Standards and decide to integrate all related policies into a single document, it will become long and unruly, which will lead to people unwilling to read it. So, you have to take care to ensure focus on certain elements to make those more accessible for the staff that need it. Another aspect that needed additional consideration was Wavenet's risk profile, with their amount of sites and services, it's very varied. Too much for a single person to be aware of all the risks, which is where Damian's subject area experts can provide additional insight to fill the gaps. Damian is also keen to combine external audits where possible to both reduce cost and possible duplication of effort, as many Standard do share common subject areas, this can be done across multiple Standards. Certification Bodies are usually quite happy to work with you on this! Damians key take away is, that there isn't one solution that fits every business when managing this many Standards. It was a very trial and error process, especially with the ever changing landscape of a business, but Standards are also designed with flexibility in mind, so with the right people in place it's certainly manageable. [16:05] How has Blackmores' ISO Support helped? Blackmores has assisted Wavenet with their ISO 45001, ISO 50001 and ISO 41001 (Facilities Management) implementation. ISO 41001 was later dropped as it was no longer applicable for the business. Standards can be quite hard to apply to your own business when looking at them at face value, the requirements sound generic because they're designed to apply to every type of business. This is where Blackmores experience as a consultancy can help with interpretation and practicalities of how a Standard will apply to your way of working. Blackmores will also assist with internal audits, which help identify non-conformities that may have been missed if it were not for a fresh pair of eyes. As Damian states: "I would rather have them identified before an external audit" as this gives you a chance to resolve issues or put an action plan in place before it gets to that stage. Damain also reminds everyone to not be afraid of your auditor, internal or external. They are not maliciously looking for problems, they simply help to highlight issues which can be resolved sp you can improve as a business. No Management System is perfect, the important thing is that you can recognise when something needs addressing, and how you go about doing so. [19:30] What has Damian learned while managing ISO Standards? Damian has learned to not think of ISO as a tick box exercise, it's a tool to help businesses improve. He has also learned that you don't need to reinvent the wheel when Implementing a Management System. You likely already have much of what's required in place, but not monitored or organised regularly. For example, aspects such as 'Management Review' may already be happening in existing meetings with top management, you simply need to ensure these are minuted, cover what needs to be discussed in regards to the Management System, and make note of any gaps that need to be addressed. Businesses like Wavenet that have been in operation for 26 years know what they're doing, and are likely already following best practice. You don't need to restructure your business to meet an ISO Standard, but rather integrate the Standard requirements with how you already operate. If done correctly, it should become a simple part of your day-today tasks. Damian jokingly states: "What's my role? I sometimes say it's to do as little as possible", as the more a business is aligned with a Standard, the less you will have to do to upkeep that. [22:55] What benefits have Wavenet experienced as a result of their ISO certifications? As mentioned earlier, a lot of won business is due to ISO certification. Certain certifications are simply a tender or client requirement. Standards such as ISO 50001 tackle their energy consumption. It's focus on reducing that will inevitably lead to reduced business costs. Since implementing the Standard, Wavenet now have monthly meetings to monitor energy use, which gives them a good basis to make informed decisions on where energy use is concerned. Damian has found that over time, good practice has been so embedded that people are using it in their everyday behaviors without even realising it. He's heard people in their resolutions team use terminology like 'root cause' without knowing where it came from. He's seen team making use of skill matrix's when evaluating the competence of certain teams such as engineering for client visits. So, people within the business are using ISO terminology and techniques to ensure best practice without being explicitly asked to. It simply works as a method to drive the business effectively when implemented correctly. [26:15] Damian's top tip for aspiring ISO implementors: Apart from approaching a consultancy like Blackmores to help if it's your first time going through the process, it's got to be leadership commitment. Top management need to be actively promoting ISO within the business, and they should be involved with the process. You need everyone's buy-in to make a system work, and that is made much easier if it's driven from the top down. Another tip is that a Management System should be a team effort. It shouldn't just be the responsibility of one person, you need input from everyone in the business to ensure you've covered all angles and risks that could affect your business. Lastly, look at what you already have in place and try and integrate the Standard into that. Don't make more work for yourself if you don't have to, you likely already have the bones in place. [28:20] Damian's book recommendation: The Thursday Murder Book Club – by Richard Osmond [29:10] Damian's favourite quote? "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't beat work hard." And: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" To learn more about Wavenet, check out their website and keep up-to-date with their latest news via their LinkedIn page.

Do two curses cancel one another out? Did the towel exchange bad luck? Is Kris Jenner working overtime? Maybe, but one thing for sure is that Lewis Hamilton remembered exactly who he was this weekend in Barcelona. Lewis' first race win for Ferrari couldn't have come at a better time...... the same could be said for Fernando Alonso's retirement from the race. The World Championship is wide open as we continue the European leg of the 2026 season and we could not be more excited to see it play out. Will Kimi be able to bounce back from a disappointing weekend? Will George carry this momentum to Austria? Are the McLaren's simply "consistent" this season? These topics and so many more are discussed this week. As always, follow us on Instagram @tracktalk.pod for more!

What up, jeeks?

Disclaimer: Both Chris and Kyle were watching the Knicks when multiple big track performances happened, so some of the detail recall is shakier than usual. No regrets.Discussed in this episode:– Knicks NBA Champions: Chris and Kyle grew up as New York sports fans, and CITIUS MAG as a company exists in part because the two bonded over the Yankees and Knicks.– Cooper Lutkenhaus beats Emmanuel Wanyoni in Oslo, 1:42.08: Photo finish — 1:42.08 to 1:42.09. World lead. Personal best. At 17 years old, he has now beaten the Olympic gold medalist and the Olympic silver medalist in the same 2026 season. His 2026 unbeaten record: six finals, six wins. – Ja'Kobe Tharp, 12.75 world record (110m hurdles prelim): The least surprising collegiate record of the weekend — it was coming — but the world record was genuinely shocking.– Adaejah Hodge, 10.63 (+1.9) in the 100m prelim: Breaks Sha'Carri Richardson's collegiate record of 10.75. Moves to #5 all-time globally, behind only Flo-Jo, Elaine Thompson-Herah, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden. Also runs 21.68 in the 200 final for the collegiate record (breaks Abby Steiner's 21.8 from 2022).– Habtom Samuel, 5K/10K double: Light work. His kick is on another level from the current NCAA field. Marco Langon made a brave move at 400 to go and was humbled for it — not his fault, it's just that Haptam had a whole other gear.– Jaiden Reed, 19.63 (200m): Breaks Walter Dix's NCAA record that had stood since 2007. Most surprising record of the weekend.– Simeon Birnbaum, 3:36.05 (1500m): Second place was 1.13 seconds behind. Wire to wire. He broke the 25-year curse: no athlete who broke the NCAA mile or 1500 record had also won the title that same year. Birnbaum did both. Kyle gives his hypothetical 2026 World Championships team if one existed.– Jane Hedengren: Third in the 10K, ninth in the 5K — after being bedridden with illness all week, disclosed after her 10K race.– LA Grand Prix | Parker Valby wins the 5K in 14:39, a 10-second personal best from her 14:49 opener three weeks ago. She's now ninth on the US all-time list, ahead of Molly Huddle and Jane Hedengren. We set the over/under on 14:27.5 for this season.– Looking ahead: Ostrava on June 16th (Noah Lyles vs. Gout Gout in the 150, Tebogo vs. Gout Gout in the 200 — the more interesting race).

The path to a senior world title is entirely black and white. There is no grey area on an elevated mat inside the Prudential Center—only a best-of-three series that ends with one athlete holding a plane ticket to the World Championships and another left behind in the wrestling room. For decades, the senior level was defined by a specific geography: farm boys from the grain elevators of the Midwest or private school hammers out of New England. On June 19, the sport shifts its entire weight to the concrete of the Tri-State area as Final X pairs elite freestyle with the infrastructure of the country's largest grassroots wrestling network.NOTE: This was recorded prior to the annoucement that world medalists Real Woods and Kyle Welker have delayed their Final X series matches.  Host Jason Bryant sits down with Beat the Streets New York Executive Director Bob Seidel to dissect the structural evolution of an organization that has grown 300% over the last four years. These are not suburban athletes with parents chauffeuring them to private clubs; these are fiercely independent kids taking two-hour subway rides from the outer edges of Queens and Brooklyn just to get a hand-fight in the middle of Manhattan. Seidel details the extreme logistics of maintaining a permanent training center on the most expensive real estate in the country, and why the daily grind of mass transit translates directly into individual accountability on the mat. The conversation pivots to the relentless competitive stakes of the Newark card. The lightweight matchups represent a complete collision of eras and philosophies, headlined by the re-ignited rivalry at 57 kg between Olympic silver medalist Spencer Lee and reigning NCAA champion Luke Lilledahl—fresh off Lilledahl's shocking last-second headlock victory at the U.S. Open. From the hyper-aggressive offense of youth phenoms Bo Bassett and Jax Forrest to the structural control of multi-time world champions Helen Maroulis and Kyle Dake, this card is an absolute grinder. With Columbia University officially establishing the first Ivy League Division I women's program right in their backyard, this event marks the exact moment where the pipeline from the streets of New York to the global stage becomes undeniable. Want an ad-free version of the show AND the best in wrestling news from around the world?

This week on the Science for Sport Podcast, Richard Graves is joined by Great Britain track cyclist Joe Truman. Joe has spent nearly a decade as a full-time professional athlete with British Cycling, progressing through the pathway from a talent ID session at 15 to becoming a senior member of the GB sprint squad. After years of European, World Championship and Commonwealth medals, Joe recently claimed his first major individual title with European gold in the kilo, setting a British record in the process. In this episode, Joe gives a fascinating insight into the training methods, decision-making and performance science behind elite track sprinting. He explains how studying sport and exercise science changed the way he understood his own body, why he now has greater input into his own programming, and how that shift has helped drive a significant increase in performance. Richard and Joe also discuss the practical use of blood flow restriction training, how BFR moved from a rehab tool after back surgery to a staple part of Joe's training, and why lower-load, lower-volume methods can still create meaningful performance adaptations when used intelligently. In this episode you will learn How Joe Truman progressed from British Cycling talent ID to the senior GB podium squad. Why his first major individual gold medal felt like a weight off his shoulders after years of silver and bronze medals. How sport and exercise science changed the way Joe approaches his own training. Why understanding the “why” behind a session can be a major motivational tool for elite athletes. How Joe uses blood flow restriction training in the gym and on the bike. Why BFR became a key tool after back surgery and later evolved into a performance method. How Joe balances peak power, glycolytic capacity and race-specific cadence. Why tapering can determine whether an athlete reaches their true performance ceiling. How training quality, recovery and freshness influence maximal sprint output. Why athletes should trust their own knowledge and listen closely to their body. How Joe is preparing for the next phase of the Olympic cycle towards LA 2028. About Joe Truman Joe Truman is a Great Britain track cyclist and one of the senior members of the GB men's sprint squad. Originally from Portsmouth, Joe was identified by British Cycling at the age of 15 and has been part of the British Cycling pathway ever since. He progressed through the under-16, under-18 and under-23 squads before joining the podium programme full-time after his first World Championships in 2017. Across his career, Joe has competed in the team sprint, individual sprint, keirin and kilo, winning medals at European, World Championship, World Cup and Commonwealth level. In 2026, he claimed his first major individual senior title with European gold in the kilo, setting a British record and going under 58 seconds. Alongside his career as an elite athlete, Joe has studied sport and exercise science and now takes an active role in shaping his own training programme. His approach combines physiology, race-specific preparation, strength training, blood flow restriction training, recovery and athlete self-awareness.

One of the things I enjoy most about this podcast is getting the chance to speak with athletes right at the point where everything is starting to come together. The results are appearing, the confidence is growing, and you get a glimpse of where they might be headed next. That’s exactly where Elliot Jamieson finds himself. After coming through the downhill ranks, stepping onto World Championship podiums as a junior and then making the move to Enduro, Elliot has steadily been building towards becoming one of the most exciting riders in the discipline. But what stood out to me in this conversation wasn’t just the speed. It was the way he thinks about the sport. We talk about growing up in a big sporting family, the pressure that comes with early success, making the switch from downhill to Enduro, and how a difficult run of injuries helped shape the rider he is today. We also dive into confidence, preparation, bike setup, building a racing programme, and where he thinks Enduro sits as a sport right now. Elliot is thoughtful, analytical and clearly committed to the process of becoming the best rider he can be. And after the progress he showed last season, it’s hard not to feel like we’re watching one of the riders who could help define the next era of Enduro racing. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Elliot Jamieson.

What does it take to become a Paralympic gold medalist? For Team USA Paralympic hand cyclist Kate Brim, the answer goes far beyond training and racing.Host: Torie Giffin, Owner Buffalo Lodge Bicycle ResortGuest: Kate Brim, Paralympic hand cyclist for team USAIn this inspiring episode of Pedal The Springs, Kate shares her remarkable journey from a spinal cord injury at age 19 to standing atop the podium at the Paris Paralympics, where she earned gold in the time trial and bronze in the mixed team relay.Kate opens up about the difficult road she faced after Paris, including a kidney infection, ICU hospitalization, months without riding, and the daily realities of living with Type 1 diabetes while relying on TPN nutrition. After more than a year away from international competition, she returned to racing at the Para-cycling World Cup in Chiang Mai, Thailand—the first Para-cycling World Cup ever held in Asia—where she captured victories in all three events she entered.We discuss the physical and mental demands of elite para-sport, traveling internationally with 95 pounds of life-sustaining medical equipment, and the incredible “team behind the team” of coaches, trainers, nutritionists, family, and supporters who make success possible.Kate also shares her favorite rides around Colorado Springs, including Gold Camp Road, Cheyenne Canyon, Fountain, and Garden of the Gods, and discusses road safety for hand cyclists, the high cost of adaptive sports equipment, and the growing visibility of para-cycling in the United States.Before her injury in 2017, Kate was a competitive rower and outdoor enthusiast. Today, she trains full-time as a Paralympic athlete while living and training in Colorado Springs at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center. Through every challenge, she continues to embody the grit, determination, and resilience that have defined her journey.Whether you're a cyclist, athlete, caregiver, or simply someone facing challenges of your own, Kate's story is a powerful reminder that setbacks do not define us—how we respond to them does.Follow Kate:Instagram: @QuadKateFacebook: Kate BrimStrava: Kate BrimLearn More:U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center: https://www.usopc.org/training-centers/colorado-springsUSA Cycling Para-cycling: https://usacycling.orgFollow Pedal The Springs for more stories from the people, places, and events that make Colorado Springs one of America's great cycling communities.

A horse coming into her own. A summer that wasn't really the plan. And a trip to Europe that suddenly feels like it could mean much more.  Nicole Brown sits down for a cup of tea with Tamie Smith after a flying start to 2026 and ahead of a big summer campaign in the UK. With Lillet 3 arriving in England off the back of major wins and World Championship conversations becoming harder to ignore, Tamie reflects on the partnership that took time to build and why this season feels different. They talk Bramham, supporting Team USA at Bicton, bringing riders and horses across the Atlantic, and what happens when the thing you hoped might happen starts becoming real. Plus, an update on retired king Mai Baum and why there may already be another black horse waiting in the wings. Highlights: Why Europe felt like the right next step The partnership that changed with Lillet 3 World Championships and knowing when a horse is ready Watching Team USA from the sidelines at Bicton Molly Duda's summer campaign Life after Mai Baum Guests: Tamie Smith: US Olympian, five-star winner, and one of the leading event riders in American eventing This series is supported by Carr & Day & Martin, globally trusted equine care products since 1765 and now proudly part of the Connolly's Red Mills Group.

Do you see what we did there? Maybe not... This episode begins with Kara detailing her impromptu, "red-eye" drive to Minnesota, and the sleepy aftermath. Then, you get a proper pet update with fun stories from both Des and Kara on their furry and not-so-furry animals. If you are watching the YouTube, you get a Boston sighting! Kara and Des also give their takes on the Netflix documentary called The Crash about a teenager in Florida who was convicted of murder for intentionally driving her car into a wall, killing her boyfriend and his friend. There is so much to process from that tragic story, but at least one thing is clear: the parents of the convicted murderer were completely out of touch with the reality of the situation. Of course, we do get to the latest running news. Des and Kara digest the new World Championship standards released by World Athletics, and the times are FAST. The objective from WA seems clear... to get more athletes into the event via the world rankings. BUT, are those rankings fair and legit or do they just reward the same group that can run fast? What are the implications for the sport and how does this trickle down to affect development in the NCAA as well? Finally, they end with a top 5 where, among other shout-outs, Yared Nuguse gets some love for his 1500m win at the Diamond League meet in Rabat - a big win for him!  To take advantage of the Ketone deal from the episode - 30% off on your first subscription order - go to this link for Ketone-IQ: https://ketone.com/pages/nobody-asked-us.

This Detroit Red Wings podcast tackles Red Wings trade options & free agency paths as Steve Yzerman weighs how aggressive to get this summer. News and analysis breaks down the Elias Pettersson trade scenario, Bobby McMann free agent fit, and what a real roster shakeup could look like for Todd McLellan's group.

(1:12) Intro Warning the residents along TPC Michigan, Oakland Hills, and Detroit Golf Club fairways that the WWP crew is coming to town. Fortify your windows. (4:10) Red Wings Offseason Paths Walking through Max Bultman's three scenarios (article here) for the Detroit Red Wings: targeted adds (Bobby McMann, Michael McCarron), the bigger free agent swing (Alex Tuch, Mason Marchment, Vitek Vanecek, plus a Cossa-for-Howard trade), or the bold Elias Pettersson trade with Nate Danielson as the headliner. Why the rising cap makes Pettersson's $11.6M hit less scary, which option two terrifies us, and where McMann fits as the most realistic add. Also: is there a chaotic option four where you reset around Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond and move on from Dylan Larkin, Alex DeBrincat, and Patrick Kane? (31:15) Stanley Cup Final Preview Carolina's buzzsaw run through the East versus Vegas methodically dismantling Colorado.

(51:00) Prospect Profile: Ryan Roobroeck The big winger with a cannon shot and serious compete questions. Anthony Mantha vibes - should Yzerman, Draper & Co. swing on him at 47? (56:50) Worlds: MBN Wins Bronze Michael Brandsegg-Nygård and Norway take bronze at the World Championships, beating Canada & Emmitt Finnie in overtime. Finland takes gold as Switzerland loses a 3rd straight final.
