Summary

Jeff and Greg discuss the thought of having to “like” your favourite team in order to still root for them. Next, the guys give their thoughts on what change they would propose at the GM meetings and if there is a conversation to be had about eliminating the offside rule (05:10). To finish up, they look at the lack of experimenting of late in the AHL, Jeff’s yearning for a rule that ends a powerplay if the opposing team scores shorthanded, and debate the idea of teams picking their playoff opponents (28:13) 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.
