Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Scott Laughlin of SiriusXM NHL Radio Network. They discuss how attendance is impacted by rebuilding teams, how the Flyers' young players will develop under John Tortorella, Rick Tocchet blasting his team so early into the season, Leon Draisaitl making Oilers history, and more! Then, The Athletic's Rob Rossi joins the show to discuss how the Penguins ownership has approached the last 12 months, what Sidney Crosby’s next contract could look like, if ownership would be willing to commit to a rebuild while Crosby is still with the team, and the early returns on Erik Karlsson (29:20). After that, Jeff brings in producer Matt Marchese to discuss the hot start to the season from defenceman Brady Skjei, what we can expect from a healthy Carolina Hurricanes lineup, Andrei Svechnikov’s Rocket Richard potential, and more (50:08)! 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.
