Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Capitals insider Tarik El-Bashir, as they break down the big news out of Washington surrounding Nicklas Bäckström taking an indefinitely leave of absence from hockey. The pair also weigh in on the team's cap situation and whether they will commit to a rebuild, if Elias Lindholm could be a potential fit in Washington, and more! Then, Jason York, co-host of the Coming in Hot podcast, joins the show to break down everything going on in Ottawa including the teams plans for bringing in a new GM (18:50). Soon after, Matt Marchese stops by to discuss some notable players on the Penguins who wore neck guards at practise, the WHL making the protective gear mandatory league-wide, and the NHL having no Canadian’s in the top-10 in scoring a month into the season (34:39)! Then, Sharks beat writer Curtis Pashelka joins the show to analyze the Sharks' winless October, the upside of a potential #1 pick next summer, Macklin Celebrini's potential, Tomas Hertl’s decision to re-sign San Jose (48:40). 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.
