Summary

Jeff welcomes Greg Wyshynski to the show as they recap the most interesting points that came out of Doug Armstrong’s press conference following the firing of Craig Berube. Then, they discuss some of the notable active defenders around the NHL and debate which should be inducted into the Hockey Hall Of Fame after their careers. Next, they chat about Greg’s story on Connor Ingram and his whirlwind of a journey that has led him to being a potential Vezina candidate this year. Finally, Jeff and Greg weigh in on the idea of teams conducting practices during the evenings as opposed to morning skates, and how teams around the NHL view the idea. 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.
