Summary

Matt Marchese kicks off the show with Hailey Salvian of the Athletic to help break down the Flames' solid play as of late and if it changes their trade deadline mentality, as well as the Maple Leafs' losing streak and how much Sheldon Keefe is to blame. Next, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun stops by to discuss the Golden Knights' injury concerns, Jack Eichel's return timeline after undergoing lower-body surgery, and the mentality of the team's front office (33:45). Later on, former NHL defenceman Jason Demers shares if he ever was part of an “anti-forward" dinner, before getting into the Coyotes' first half, his time playing under Rick Tocchet, and a new shooting style that is taking over the NHL (50:00). Finally, Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now joins the show to discuss if the Bruins should look into moving a goaltender, why David Pastrňák should be in the Hart Trophy conversation, how Brad Marchand is handling the pressure of wearing the ‘C’, and more (01:21:34)!
