MONDAY RUNDOWN: GOLDEN KNIGHTS, PANTHERS, CFL & MORE!

We came in hot to another week with NHL & CFL personalities on Monday’s Episode #1,022 of The RP Show – Daytime Sportstalk – on Game+ TV, WQEE, Podcast & YouTube Live! Here’s the rundown:

• RP and Moose Dupont kicked it all off with The Warmup covering these Quick Six show topics: 1) The Blue Jays blew a 6-0 lead at Texas and lost 11-7 to the Rangers, 2) Wyndham Clark captures the U.S. Open, 3) USA tops Canada 2-0 in the CONCACAF final, 4) Week 2 in the CFL concluded with Toronto dumping Hamilton 32-17 and Bo Levi Mitchell got injured. We recapped all of Week 2, 5) The Vegas Golden Knights Stanley Cup parade got wild!, and 6) The Washington Wizards shipped Bradley Beal to the super team in Phoenix.
• Florida Panthers radio voice Doug Plagens joined the show to discuss the Cats’ history-making Stanley Cup run and tell some behind-the-scenes stories. Doug explained how his voice so stayed strong through the 4-overtime marathon in Boston in Round 1! He was also happy to report that the future remains bright for the Panthers with many key players locked up long-term.
• The daily Key Auto Group poll question was: Will the Blue Jays make the playoffs? At press time, 64% of respondents said no.
• Vegas Golden Knights TV voice Dave Gaucher joined the show to put a wrap on the season. He MC’ed the Stanley Cup parade and said, indeed, it was as wild as it looked. Dave explained how the Golden Knights have always done things their own, unique way. He also told some behind-the-scenes stories of the Golden Knights Cup run and said they don’t know what they would’ve done had they lost! This team was built to win this year. He also needled Rod for being a Vegas jinx, as the night Dave and Rod met at Game 3 in Florida ended up being the only game the Golden Knights lost in the series.
• Blue Bombers reporter and NHL.com Winnipeg correspondent Darrin Bauming joined the show from Bomber practice and gave the Big Blue’s side of Friday’s 45-27 win at Saskatchewan. Darrin feels Thursday’s BC at Winnipeg clash is the Game of the Week in the CFL. Bauming and Rod took several CFL questions from the audience.
• Friday’s Rockstar of the Day was Derek Dennis. Monday’s was Dave Gaucher!
