Summary

Jeff and Elliotte kick off the show recapping Roberto Luongo’s induction to the Canucks Ring of Honour last night and his most memorable quotes, before getting into his presence on Twitter and the trade to the Maple Leafs that never happened. Next, they discuss Steven Stamkos having his first 4-goal game last night in Edmonton, what the numbers and the eye test both say about Alexander Ovechkin’s goal drought, and the craziness of the Blue Jackets-Leafs game last night. To wrap up this week, Jeff and Elliotte forecast who will start for the Leafs on Saturday night and react to Patrik Laine’s latest injury amidst a nightmarish 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.
