Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with The Athletic's Michael Russo to break down all things Minnesota Wild! He shares his thoughts on the idea of decentralizing the NHL draft, before focusing in on Marc-Andre Fleury’s potential last game in Montreal and the case for Filip Gustavsson to be the team's starting goaltender. Then, it’s time for Jeff Marek’s 'Random Hockey Fact of the Day' (17:25)! After that, Matt Marchese joins to conversations to discuss why it takes some teams and players longer to get accustomed to the season and the mentality behind having three goaltenders on a roster. Next up, former NHLer and Stanley Cup champion, Mike Rupp stops by to chat about John Tortorella’s approach to the Flyers' rebuild, what to expect as Alex DeBrincat returns to Ottawa, and the Golden Knights' red-hot start to the season (32:51). Later on, Sportsnet’s Sean Reynolds joins the show to discuss Winnipeg's attendance woes, the team choosing to stick with the same core, and if those two points may be related (51:23). 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.
