Description
t’s a “coupla three or more thoughts” edition of the Rod Pedersen Commentary heading into the weekend!
🏈 The NFL Draft delivered once again — from emotional moments to history being made, including Ottawa’s Akheem Mesidor going #22 to the LA Chargers, possibly the highest-drafted Canadian ever.
🏒 Meanwhile, the Stanley Cup Playoffs continue to surge — and with TV ratings at a 14-year high, Rod asks the question: why now?
📺 Is the NBA’s dip sending new fans to hockey? The Rod Squad thinks so… and Rod says: works for me.
🥅 Plus, Canadian junior hockey is on fire — the Flin Flon Bombers win their first SJHL title in 33 years, and the WHL Conference Finals are set.
What a time to be a sports fan — enjoy it all!
