Summary

Matt Marchese kicks off the show with Liam McHugh, host of the NHL on TNT, to help make sense of the Edmonton Oilers' season which continues to get worse after a 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks. The pair also chat about Connor Bedard’s 4-point night against the Lightning, Liam's time working with Rick Tocchet, the Kings' hot start to the year, and more. Later on, The Athletic's Jeremy Rutherford joins the show to break down Robert Thomas’ improved shot this season, the Blues' struggles to score goals, and Jordan Binnington’s future in St. Louis (31:03). Producer David Ciss sends us into the weekend with his recap of some of the biggest storylines from this week including what the Oilers should do next, the benefits of a three-goalie system, and much more (49:57)! 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.
