Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports to discuss the latest on the Coyotes' arena plans including potential new locations, new ownership groups, and the latest from the business side of the situation. Then, Stanley Cup Champion Mike Rupp chats about what piece of equipment he was most particular about during his playing days, how Connor McDavid’s game has evolved this season, and why defenders should be shooting for deflections (16:00). Later on, Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin joins the show to discuss his new role with U.S.A. Hockey as the GM for the Four Nations Tournament next year and the upcoming Olympic games (46:10)! He shares the process of putting together a team with America’s top players, players taking on new roles at a best-on-best tournament, the strength of U.S.A. Hockey, and Marc-Andre Fleury’s career ahead of his start tonight against the Penguins.
