EMMITT. FINNIE. Tune in as we start by discussing the Detroit Red Wings returning to the ice in a win over the Chicago Blackhawks, led by a line of Emmitt Finnie, Nate Danielson, and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard. Also, analysis on performances from Compher, Berggren, Mitchell, & others, before discussing Emmitt Finnie's actualy NHL roster odds - could he be the one to join Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond on the top line? Would Steve Yzerman and Todd McLellan take him over Danielson, Carter Mazur, or other Red Wings hopefuls (or maybe even J.T. Compher)? (5:45)
Next, our Pacific Division Preview, including analysis & predictions on a chaotic Western Conference division: McDavid & the Edmonton Oilers, Kopitar & the Los Angeles Kings, Marner & the Vegas Golden Knights, Beniers & the Seattle Kraken, Hughes & the Vancouver Canucks, Kadri & the Calgary Flames, McTavish & the Anaheim Ducks, and Celebrini & the San Jose Sharks. (42:15)
All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:13:40) - enjoy!
