Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Andy Strickland of the Cam and Strick Podcast to discuss the big news out of St. Louis this morning. They discuss the Blues' succession plan for their front office, what Alex Steen brings with his new role, the team's core and their future between the pipes. Then, ESPN NHL rules analyst Dave Jackson joins the program to break down the officiating in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final and break down some of the most controversial whistles (19:40). The former NHL referee weighs in on how certain calls on the ice are determined behind the scenes, the lack of supplemental discipline for Leon Draisaitl following his hit on Aleksander Barkov, and how refs handle injuries on the ice. Later, PWHL Toronto forward Natalie Spooner stops by fresh off of being awarded the PWHL’s first MVP award (51:05). They discuss the overwhelming fan support she felt this season, the growth of international hockey, who the next emerging power is in women’s hockey, and the rehab process from her knee injury. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
