Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Shayna Goldman of The Athletic, as they discuss the new reports from the London, Ontario Police surrounding Team Canada’s 2018 World Junior team. Then, they break down the biggest storylines around the league including the comparison between Brock Faber and Alex Vlasic, Jeff Skinner’s improvement, and much more. Then, Matt Marchese joins Jeff to discuss their takeaways from the Oilers' 14-game win streak, as well as Nikita Kucherov’s Hart Trophy level play this season (34:40). Later, former NHLer Ryan Callahan looks back on his days with the Guelph Storm playing with Drew Doughty and his time playing with Nikita Kucherov during his rookie season, before getting into Tampa’s current core and the art of setting a pick without getting called for interference (51:02). 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.
