Description

Buffalo's Tage Thompson joins Craig and Sean in the midst of his breakout season for the Sabres as he attempts to reach the 40 goal mark, moving to center ice position, adjusting his play to match his 6 foot 7 frame and what Sabres fans can expect from their ever improving team next season.
Craig and Sean discuss the Vegas Golden Knights inability to nail down a playoff spot with 5 games remaining. We take a look at some of the aggressive decisions management has made including the controversial coaching change, trading away young players and prospects for veterans with hefty price tags, and the decision to go with Robin Lehner over Marc-Andre Fleury which has changed the identity of the team.
Custance and Gentille hit on Dylan Larkin missing the rest of the season for Detroit and how that might not be such a bad thing for the lottery chasing Red Wings, Team USA's coaching staff announcement for the 2022 World Hockey Championships in Finland, the NHL Players Associations investigative findings into the Kyle Beach situation, Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk leading the Calgary Flames and what Michigan State should be looking for in a coach to manage their program moving forward.
