Description

Daren is joined by Rick Tocchet (1:30). Tocchet explains how he's preparing for his new role with Turner Sports, talks about his long-time relationship with Wayne Gretzky and why he will be more than happy to disagree with him on television. He shares a story about a secret he had to keep while rooming with Gretzky (8:50) and talks about the "team" atmosphere that they are trying to build on the Turner set. Daren asks him about Tampa Bay's quest for a 3rd straight Stanley Cup, the questions surrounding the Maple Leafs and the Golden Knights having to rely on Robin Lehner as their No.1 goalie (14:00). Rick played with a lot of GREAT players, including Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky and Eric Lindros and he explains what it was like playing with premier players and is asked how Connor McDavid stacks up with those guys (12:00). What's the over/under on Paul Bissonnette slipping up and using foul language on the Turner set? Rick explains how Biz is going to handle the new gig and why the Turner producers have set the entire panel up for success (26:36). Daren wraps up the episode with some BOLD PREDICTIONS for the 2021-22 season and we'll tell you right now, one of his predictions is as outlandish as can be... it's bordering on insane (35:55).
