Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's talk a little Jackets hockey.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
We are joined by Steve Meres, the brand new TV
play by play announcer of course Jeff Rimmer retiring last season,
and Steve, Welcome to Columbus man.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
How are you.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Thank you so much for having me. Yeah, it's been
a great month. It's been a whirlwind to young family,
trying to get it acclimated, and now we're getting into
training camp and we're two preseason games in.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
But it has been a blast.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
It's such an honor to take the torch from Jeff
and then to live here and to get to know
so many wonderful people both in the organization and neighbors
and people like yourself and everybody around the community.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It's been terrific.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, we're excited to have you here. So I think
you were named early July as the new face and
voice of the Jackets on the Ballet Sports Network.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So how long you've been in town? Just a month
we moved. It was like late August.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
So still have a few boxes that we're trying to
get rid of and still complete the unpacking process. But
you know, when training camp gets going, it's workout for
the players and we're there in the stands, we're watching
and seeing what the storylines are. I was just in
Buffalo a few days ago for the first preseason game.
I'm going to all the preseason games, even though we're
not televising them just right.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I want to be there see the young guys. I
know the NHL.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Players because I've been in the league, but I want
to see the young guys. I want to get to
know the staff a little bit and then just take
some notes and maybe even do a little play by
play in my head, which sure, you know, no one
wants to hear that out loud. Well, I'm in the
press box, you know, sitting out in the corner somewhere.
But yeah, I just want to just kind of get
set for October tenth, the first game officially in our
first broadcast in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, so you come to whatu's from at Pittsburgh Penguins organization.
You spend time, you say, with the Islanders organization.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, Taylors, Radio, Penguins, TV, NHL network, bounced around Pittsburgh,
New York, all over. But it's You're in the greatest
league in the world, and that's a dream. I just
wanted to get in for free once. That's all I
ever want to do is get in for free one time.
And I'm still here as my nineteen season in some
capacity in the league.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So it's an honor every time you walk in the building.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, if anybody has been listening to this show, they
know I'm a huge hockey guy. I've been watching it
for forty five years. And it's a tremendous sport. And
you've done other sports. You've done baseball, you said, you've
done some tennis. Hockey's got to be an incredibly difficult
sport to do play by play for simply because of
the speed of the game and you don't have time.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You know, those the line changes happen in real time.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It's not like in football where you try out the
d you try out to these special teams and you
have time to prepare.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And who's on the field.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Now, you got to know who number eighty seven is
without having to you know, look at the back of
his jersey.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, that one's easy. I know that that guy. But yeah,
it is. Really, it's never been faster. The game's never
been faster. I remember doing a game it was New
Jersey against Pittsburgh, and you know, on television, you try
to weave in a few stats while the play is
going on. Because the picture exists, you don't need to
describe every single pass. But at one point, the Doubles
(02:53):
for the last few years have been one of the
fastest teams in the NHL. It was like a tennis match,
back and forth, like chance, chance, chance, on past another chance,
and I really had to switch to radio mode. I
was like, there's no way I can even go off
on any type of a tangent because one blink and
you could miss a great play, one of the best
plays of the season. So I just like locked into
(03:14):
radio mode while I was on television, and I'm finding
them now more and more in today's game because of
the speed and because of the excitement and how quickly
the greatest play of the season can happen, you got
to be on it. So I think that's what makes
hockey on television unique, whereas.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Baseball, and like you said, football, the.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Actual action is pretty it comes in short bursts and
you're weaving in stories. And I have a lot of respect,
as I was saying to you off the air, so
much respect for especially baseball announcers on the radio because
of the storytelling aspect, and he's a completely different skill
set than hockey on the radio. Absolutely, it's a great
point speaking with Steve Mehr's Ballet Sports New TV played
by play broadcaster for the Blue Jackets, teaming up with
(03:53):
Jody Shelley, and you're working with the best in the business.
Jody's been a Blue Jacket for a long long time
and he is I mean, they got they pulled them
up to TNT for the playoffs this season.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
He did a fantastic job. So excited to see how
you guys. So my question, I guess, do you guys
do some practice and dry run and like watch some
old video of games and do play by play for
just to kind of get some chemistry going there.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
We're actually doing a mock game, okay, and it's next week.
It won't air anywhere. I hope it's not the greatest
game of our lives because no one will hear it,
but it's it's a Pittsburgh game, the final home preseason game,
and we'll have our producer in our ear and there
will be some type of infrastructure for what would normally
be a telecast, and I'll be up in the regular
(04:37):
broadcast booth and it's just good to get a wrap.
But I think just shake off the rust. You know,
I haven't done a game since I was doing playoffs
and TNT and that was like late May.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
So yeah, you just like you just want to get
going again.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Hopefully it's just like riding a bike and you just
get used to the flow all over again of a
hockey game. But there are different things like watching players
and are they right handed, are they left handed? Do
they use black tape, white tape? What's their skating stride like?
So I'm trying to get used to all those things
on the Columbus side and then just to tap into
Jody's expertise. He's one of, as you said, one of
(05:09):
the best in the business. He knows the team inside
and out. He's always been one of my favorite resources.
When we come here to Columbus, I immediately go to
him what is the pulse of the Blue Jackets and
he tells me right away.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Usually he was really good.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
At making a prediction for the outcome of the game
and he would always nail it. So he's one of
my favorite people in the business. I just can't wait
to work with him.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well, you're no stranger to Columbus, you went to Bowling Green.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You're a Falcon BGSU and obviously you've been here with
your time with the Penguins and the Islanders, and you're coming.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You talk about the pulse of the team.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
You're coming at an incredibly tragic time, of course, with
the loss of Johnny and Matthew Gudreau and the tragic accident.
And you've been around the team now for a month.
What's the vibe right now with that team are they
Are they going to be able to use this as
some sort of rallying point and you know, kind of
do it for the gadrou Brothers sort of mentality, some
(05:58):
sort of inspiration. What is your overall kind of inclination
been when you've been spent time with the team.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Net word inspiration.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's the one I keep coming back to be inspired,
And that goes for everybody because the way Johnny and
can Joe played hockey was inspirational as an undersized player
and going up against some of the biggest players in
the league and being a superstar and undrafted or late
drafted player, and a lot of people think he could
never translate his college success to the NHL level, and
(06:28):
he did to a great degree.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yeah, it's been overwhelming.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
At times, and I think there's been tremendous leadership in
the organization Don wadell Ian Evison, the head coach, and
some of the things that they've said, and also the
front office as well. That there will be tough times,
There's no question about it. Throughout the season. It's been
overwhelming at times. At the same time, the overwhelming amount
of support from the community and how the community has
leaned on the team and vice versa, that has been
(06:54):
heartwarming and a difficult, difficult time. The fact that almost
instantaneously there was a makeshift memorial outside Nationwide Arena, and
within days I went down there and saw it, and
you see the jerseys and the sticks and the skittles
and hockey pucks, and right away you just get tears
in your eyes. There's no question Johnny and Matthew will
(07:15):
be missed. They will be remembered throughout the season. Already,
we've had several moments of silence when we were at
the Prospect Tournament in Buffalo, and even last night in
the preseason game. That first home game is going to
be extremely heavy with Johnny and Matthew being honored, but
you just hope that the team is inspired by both
of those guys and they just lean on each other.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And the community has been a big part of it.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
And I'm sure by now you're realizing that Blue Jackets
fans are an amazing, amazing bunch. I mean, the fan
base here, I mean, let's be honest. I'm ob season
ticket holder was at a game late in the season
the Jackets, one of the worst teams in the league,
and nationwide arena was sold out. It was packed, and
you had thought it was Game seven of the Stanley Cup,
(07:58):
a meaningless game, and the fans were out in droves
and they support this team. So if nothing else, you've
got an amazing fan base here in Columbus.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I'm sure you're learning that very.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Quickly, Yes, absolutely, and other people outside of Columbus are
learning that that is not a secret anymore. There were
a lot of national hockey media members who have already
made note of that over the last couple of seasons,
and how the building was jam packed even though the
team was struggling. That is not the case in a
lot of other markets in other sports. And I saw
it firsthand last night. Pretty good crowd for the first
(08:31):
preseason game on a weeknight lock going on in Columbus.
But one thing I want to do since we weren't
televising it, I wanted to watch a game from the cannon,
So I put.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That out on social media. I went down.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I was hanging out with the cannon crew, and all
I to do was put basically one tweet out there,
and I had all these people coming up and introducing
themselves and it's just so welcoming, so nice, and we
hung out.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I ended up staying for the second period and a
great view. The cannon's right there.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It's a great view of the ice from the corner,
and you're like, you get to say here some of
the things that are happening, not only in the crowd
but on the ice. And met some wonderful people from
all around the area that love the game. And as
a broadcaster, you just want to go somewhere where hockey matters,
where the team matters, and are part of the fabric
of the community. And I hit the jackpot here in Columbus.
(09:15):
I'm very, very fortunate, and that's not lost on me
at all.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You played by a play announcer for the broadcast on
ballet Sports. Steve Maries joining me, got about a minute left. Steve,
I want to talk a little bit of hockey quick.
Your overall at this point impression of the team. I
mean we've always talked about there being parts and pieces.
They've got a lot of some basics, right. I mean,
you've got they brought in some veterans. You've got James
van Riemsdyke, You've got veterans like Sean Monahan on the squad,
(09:42):
and then you've got and I watched last night, you've
got some young guys like.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Owen Cylinger and Gavin Brindley.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
So your impression now of how this team is going
to shape up without Johnny Gudreau on that top line.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Right, Those veteran players that you mentioned, they are critical.
When you're having a young team and you're trying to rebuild,
you have to have some vetterans.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
A CA can't just be the kids.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
So the veteran players, especially good ones and good character
guys like Sean Monahan and James an riems like extremely
helpful to lead the way for the young guys. Jack
Johnson is also back as a veteran guy who's now
a Stanley Cup champion, a couple of years ago one
with the Colorado Avalanche, and he's back. Of course, he
lives here and a long first stint with the Jackets,
But I like what they're doing and building through the draft.
That's how you get it turned around. It doesn't take
(10:22):
that long.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
We're learning.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
It doesn't take that long when you have those core
pieces like Adam Van Tilly, Cole Sillinger, Ken Johnson. They've
got David Yerrichek on the blue line. Denton Mitaichuck scored
a goal last night and he's extremely impressive. High draft choice.
Not a big defenseman, but has put up a bunch
of points at the junior level. So Denton Mitaichuck another
young player to watch out as far as the defenseman goes.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And the future is so bright.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
So you mix in some of those veteran players, and
also the fact that Dean Evison they will be the
hardest working team. I think in the NHL, they will
not be outworked. Aggressive style, that's what Dean brought to
Minnesota's gonna bring it here. So I love the fact
they got size and they're gonna work hard every single night.
Let's talk a little Jackets hockey.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
We are joined by Steve Meres, the brand new TV
play by play announcer of course Jeff Rimmer retiring last season,
and Steve, Welcome to Columbus man.
Speaker 1 (00:11):

voice of the Jackets on the Ballet Sports Network.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So how long you've been in town? Just a month

Speaker 3 (00:50):
So still have a few boxes that we're trying to
get rid of and still complete the unpacking process. But
you know, when training camp gets going, it's workout for

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, Taylors, Radio, Penguins, TV, NHL network, bounced around Pittsburgh,

league in the world, and that's a dream. I just
wanted to get in for free once. That's all I
ever want to do is get in for free one time.
And I'm still here as my nineteen season in some

I haven't done a game since I was doing playoffs

Speaker 1 (04:45):
So yeah, you just like you just want to get

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Hopefully it's just like riding a bike and you just

and then you've got and I watched last night, you've
got some young guys like.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Owen Cylinger and Gavin Brindley.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
So your impression now of how this team is going
to shape up without Johnny Gudreau on that top line.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Right, Those veteran players that you mentioned, they are critical.
When you're having a young team and you're trying to rebuild,
you have to have some vetterans.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
A CA can't just be the kids.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
So the veteran players, especially good ones and good character
guys like Sean Monahan and James an riems like extremely
helpful to lead the way for the young guys. Jack
Johnson is also back as a veteran guy who's now
a Stanley Cup champion, a couple of years ago one
with the Colorado Avalanche, and he's back. Of course, he
lives here and a long first stint with the Jackets,
But I like what they're doing and building through the draft.
That's how you get it turned around. It doesn't take
(10:22):
that long.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
We're learning.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
It doesn't take that long when you have those core
pieces like Adam Van Tilly, Cole Sillinger, Ken Johnson. They've
got David Yerrichek on the blue line. Denton Mitaichuck scored
a goal last night and he's extremely impressive. High draft choice.
Not a big defenseman, but has put up a bunch
of points at the junior level. So Denton Mitaichuck another
young player to watch out as far as the defenseman goes.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And the future is so bright.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
So you mix in some of those veteran players, and
also the fact that Dean Evison they will be the
hardest working team. I think in the NHL, they will
not be outworked. Aggressive style, that's what Dean brought to
Minnesota's gonna bring it here. So I love the fact
they got size and they're gonna work hard every single night.
