Summary

Jeff and Greg talk about famous New Jersey Devils fans, if Patrik Elias belongs in the Hockey Hall of Fame, and Pittsburgh not being able to clinch a playoff spot. Next, they discuss Jeff Carter’s diminished play, if they can imagine Sidney Crosby playing anywhere other than Pittsburgh, and what it could be like without Crosby and Alex Ovechkin in the playoffs (15:59). Finishing up, Jeff and Greg weigh in on the Flames’ season, why no teams can withstand what they lost, and why history is not on the side of the Bruins for winning the Cup (26:00). 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.
