Summary

Jeff Kicks off the show with his ‘Random Hockey Fact of the Day’. Next, he welcomes Greg Wyshynski to discuss his pre-season Stanley Cup predictions, how Leon Draisaitl elevates his game in the playoffs, his demands from the Oilers during the offseason, and how comparable he is to Nathan MacKinnon. Later, they discuss the old faces in new places, what it was like to see the Predators hit the ice without Mattias Ekholm, and the Connor Bedard era in Chicago. Then, they dissect how Bedard looked on the defensive side of the puck, how he has conducted himself with the media, and how Pittsburgh, the oldest team in the league, looked against Bedard and the Blackhawks last night. To wrap up, the pair weigh in on what the next few seasons will look like for Kyle Dubas, and the most interesting teams heading into the season. 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.

0:00.0	Time now for Jeff Merrick's random hockey fact of the day. Okay, in advance so Greg Wasinski here from the Espen coming up in a couple of moments.
0:17.6	Jeff Sanderson is the target of our random hockey fact of the day.
0:22.0	Jeff Sanderson, who many of you younger folks will
0:26.8	refer to maybe as Jake Sanderson's dad, which I'm sure he's happy to be known as, but Jeff Sanderson himself had a really impressive
0:35.2	NHL career around 20 years, 1920 years he played in the NHL.
0:40.8	From the Northwest Territories, drafted by the Hartford the Hartford Weather second round of the 1990 draft.

0:55.0	He did another random fact coming up.

1:07.5	700 points, 355 goals for Jeff Sanderson. But what I want to mention here on the random
1:13.9	hockey fact of the day is his hockey sticks. Jeff Sanderson use three different
1:22.0	sticks every game.
1:24.0	He had a first period stick, which was the normal stick length.
1:28.0	He had a second period stick, which was a half inch shorter, and then a third period stick, which was yet another half
1:37.2	inch shorter than the second period stick. The reason he wanted to force himself to dig in and bend his knees deeper as the game went on and not be a straight leg skater by the time he got tired and played in the third period.
1:54.0	Jeff Sanderson's three sticks a game,
1:57.0	each one shorter than the last.
1:59.8	Today's Random Hockey fact of the day.
2:03.0	Greg Wasinski is a board, but let's throw the Greg Wasinski music,
2:08.0	which I just found a title for a couple of seconds ago.
2:11.0	Okay, here we go. All right wish. Yeah. You know what the name of this song is?
