Ottawa Trails by three Montreal battling back it's Saturday Kevin bexa and Jennifer bod Kelly Ry with analysis of the games coming up shortly but first uh Kevin left some stuff here right get rid of that okay Saturday headlines Elliot listen a scary moment for Steve kazari there is good news on that front and you also have a couple of injury M ranton and got dinged last night against Edmonton and then fer demal upate so this was earlier today a completely fluked Play Hayden flurry and Steve kaza
ri colliding it was really scary in the moment flurry left left the game kazari was taken off on a stretcher now the the key thing is here is he does grab the hands of Kyle Flemington so he kind of knew in the moment that he was okay the NHL said he was will make a full recovery he was supposed to officiate Detroit Buffalo tomorrow he won't he'll have some time off obviously but again the prognosis is good everything now precautionary he does a lot for the NHL in the playoffs he's done four Stan
ley Cup finals last night Edmonton played its best game of the year beating Colorado 6-2 but one of the biggest developments was Matias EOL had two big hits on M ranton the second of which knocked ranton out of the game now the Avalanche were off today they play at home against Dallas tomorrow expect that we'll hear an update on ranton and then he did travel home with the team and it doesn't appear as if this is the worst case scenario thankfully we'll hear what the Avalanche have to say but the
preliminary news is it's not as bad as it could have been thankfully the other injury we've been watching and so of the Canucks is that of Thatcher Demco they're in LA tonight Demco can come off the ltir as of now he was eligible today but the kxs know as L larell says when you have time you use it they have time they will use it wouldn't be surprised Ron if we don't see him in a game for around at least another week uh by the way Philadelphia flers losing four to one after 40 minutes to Columb
us Islanders are up on a Noah Dobson goal one- nothing in their game as the races go on so you had a great piece with Michael grange on sportsnet.ca Elliott it was involving Keith p and ownership INF flux with uh Bell and Rogers and Larry Tannon bomb so just tell us about Keith's dream job well first of all I reiterate again that Michael deserves the Lion Share of the credit because he did the most of the work on the story but you know basically what's going to happen here is that Bell Rogers an
d Larry tabal have had this partnership for almost 30 years now and it's been uh it it's been a big uh it's been a big success for them in terms of building an organization and making it valuable and some success on the court and Toronto FC and the maple leaf still battling for it and what's going to happen is not this summer but next summer there's the option to open up a window to buy out Larry Tenon bom once he turns 80 and it's a long process it's going to take probably about a year to do bu
t it is expected that they're going to do it and you know Keith py comes in right now now and you know Messiah Jerry and Brenan Shanahan for the last few years they had a lot of freedom uh Messiah Jerry Only dealt with tanam bomb Brennan Shanahan was always a big believer in letting the CEO know what he was thinking but if he wanted to speak to the board by himself he had the power to do it and you know we've both worked for Keith P we know Keith P um he gives you the chance to be successful he'
s not afraid to spend money he wants to be successful but he's going to be now the person in between the people who run the Raptors and the leaves and the board so I think everyone's very curious here to see what is there what it's all going to mean look I I think this if everybody's successful I don't know that you're going to see change but if there's not the success the organization wants we could see change well it's interesting because he's the president of a core four let's call TFC the Ar
gos and of course the Raptors and leaf say the core 4 but there's many other elements to mlse uh they've gone up to8 Billion doll franchise from one n uh they had public faces like Tim Li Wiki Like Richard Petty he's now the guy he knows the dream and the dream job is the cup yeah and now Scotty always said my owners invested that was the key thread in 1,200 plus wins and nine cups what can you do in a hard Cap World if you're Keith P to achieve the Dream well you can still invest in spending a
lot of other things off the ice and the maple do that like they spend on a lot of things off the ice and I don't think that's going to change I don't think that's going to change does he have a new wrinkle because they've done it as you say scouting it's an endless list an idea you know him he's got ideas he's been very careful this week in his media appearances he doesn't want to rock the boat he doesn't want to do anything crazy while he first arrives but you know him he's what you also wrote
he's a five handicap is that true uh Michael wrote that he's the best golfer Among Us which is uh interesting news Kevin your challeng is [Music] on [Music]
