Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with the Athletic’s Mark Lazerus to recap last night’s celebrations in Chicago for Chris Chelios’ jersey retirement alongside Patrick Kane’s return. They discuss if the Blackhawks made the right decision by letting Kane move on and if there could ever be a reunion between the two parties, before reflecting on Chris Chelios’ career. Then, Jeff is joined by Colby Armstrong to tee up tonight’s edition of Rogers Monday Night Hockey (16:10). They kick things off discussing Matt Rempe’s big first week in the NHL, his interview with Peter Mansbridge, their own experiences with Jean Beliveau, and if Sidney Crosby can will the Penguins into a playoff spot. Later on, Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now stops by to discuss the Red Wings' win-streak, Kane’s impact in Detroit, if MoTown could go on a deep playoff run, and much more (50:55)! 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.
