Summary

Matt Marchese is joined by Florida Hockey Now's George Richards who discusses what it means for the state to host the All-Star game, the Panthers' season so far and if they have the runway and assets to turn it around after the break. Leafs Nation's Gord Stellick joins Matt to share stories about the Random Player of the Day - Link Gaetz (16:33). He also chats about the Maple Leafs, how the loss to the Bruins proves they still need a big deadline swing on the blue line, who they can target and Michael Bunting's saga with officiating crews (24:02). Finally, Vegas analyst Ben Gotz provides insight (48:30) on Mark Stone's successful surgery, what his timetable is and how the Golden Knights will proceed without him. 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.
