Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Sportsnet’s Luke Fox as they break down the Leafs' blowout victory over the Penguins in Kyle Dubas' return to Toronto, if Pittsburgh would consider a rebuild with Sidney Crosby still on the roster, and Alex Ovechkin’s career-low scoring pace. Then, David Amber checks in tee up Rogers Monday Night Hockey as the Habs take on the surging Winnipeg Jets (15:31)! They discuss Josh Anderson’s big weekend, John Hynes deciding to start Filip Gustavsson over Marc-André Fleury in what could be his last game in Pittsburgh, and more! Later, Jesse Granger of The Athletic joins the show to discuss Jack Eichel leading the way in Las Vegas, Mark Stone’s continued importance to the team, and Adin Hill’s injury status (48:45). 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.
