Let's start there; yesterday we told you who the winners were for the week ending September 28th and last night we spoke with one of them in John Tavares, the guy most people expect to be chosen 1st overall this June at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

The World Junior A Hockey Challenge takes place in Camrose this year and Team Canada West will be vying for thier thrid consecutive gold medal finish. Behind the bench will once again be Boris Rybalka who also coaches the Camrose Kodiaks. We asked him about what it's like to be hosting the event and trying to end his run with a perfect 3-0 score. Listen to that interview here.

Also last night we played snippets from several conversations we've had in and around training camps this year. In August I went out on a limb and predicted Ryan Potulny was making the Oilers as the 13th guy... well he's only played in 1 exhibition game so far so it doesn't look to good. I had an exclusive one on one with him and then another with Kevin Prendergast where I asked both about their thoughts on the former Golden Gophers chances at camp.

All those clips from training camp can be found here.
Don't forget about the 2 contests we have going on right now... the 3rd Annual Pipeline Show Hockey Pool and the Opening Night Roster Contest. You can find details on both contests here.
As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the show... the good, the bad, the Millard (and by that I mean the UGLY). Please feel free to leave your comments below and thanks for listening.

Who would have thought Potulny wouldnt be more in the mix for the 13th F spot. He's pretty well known, so its not like this was a ploy to keep GM's from being tempted to claim him...
I had a chat with a upper management person from the Oilers on Tuesday afternoon and said... "Man, you guys are making me look bad, back in early-mid August I picked Potulny as my 13th guy!"
The reply: "Back in early to mid August you were right."
whoa... I wonder what changed?
