Someone at WGR550 sent out the script for today’s ‘Schopp and the Bulldog’ show. Apparently my email is really close to a staff member there, so it landed in my inbox. I thought is was worth sharing with everyone.
Schopp : “Can you really take Enroth out of the lineup the way he’s playing right now?”
Bulldog : “Yes. If Miller is healthy, he’s your best goalie.”
Schopp : “But cmon, the way he’s played? He’s earned some playoff starts.”
Bulldog : “Nope. Miller is your guy.”
Hamilton : “That will never happen. As good as Enroth has played, Miller is still the better goaltender. Not a chance that Ruff starts Enroth if Miller is healthy. We’ve gone over this before”
Schopp : “Guys, really. You won’t even consider the possibility? My wife got back from a tennis match and said she totally thinks Enroth is the better goalie.”
Bulldog : “No.”
Caller : “I agree with you 100% Mike. Enroth should be the starting goaltender on this team. Miller is overpaid. We could trade Miller for 12 forwards and get the same production out of Enroth. What do you guys think of Miller and Gerbe for Richards and..”
Bulldog : “Come on now. Richards is an upcoming free agent. Why would you trade for a guy that will be on the open market?”
Caller : “MILLER HAS NEVER WON US A STANLEY CUP!! GET RID OF HIM!! 6 MILLION DOLLARS CAN GET YOU A TOP 6 FORWARD!!”
Schopp : “Ok, let’s not talk trades here. Hard to really think about all the possibilities when you’ve been studying up for the Lunch Meat Draft.”
Bulldog : “I still can’t comprehend why you’d take capicola over bologna.”
Schopp : “I already have enough versatility with ham and turkey. I really needed a specialist.”
Hamilton : “So you guys don’t want to talk about the Sabres effectively eliminating the Hurricanes last night?”
Schopp : “There’s plenty of time for that. Julian gets really excited when I open up the cold cuts drawer at the house. With my selections, how could he not?”
Sullivan : “I don’t care that they’re in a playoff spot after coming back from dead last in the east. That game in Washington was an abomination!! Blowing leads again!! This team is soft, and Regier should take the blame for that.”
Bulldog : “But, they took 3 out of 4 points on the road with their backup goaltender, and came back from another 2 goal deficit in Washington. That’s an OK weekend, right?”
Sullivan : “No way. This is a playoff race!! They should have taken 8 out of 4 points. I’m sick of you people with low standards for this team. It’s about winning, not about securing a playoff spot, and eliminating opponents. Get your priorities straight.”
Schopp : “Maybe I could have gone with a pastrami instead. I think capicola went too high. Here’s Greg with sports.”
