Later, the pair discuss Rick Tocchet winning the Jack Adams Award, Gabriel Landeskog's announcement that he will not retire, and much more! Then, former Dallas Stars goaltender and Special Assistant to the President, Marty Turco joins the show to tee up Game 1 between the Oilers and Stars and the players to keep an eye out for throughout the series (31:33).
