Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam Mckee begin hump day discussing Auston Matthews sitting out his first game of the season due to an injury, Bobby McMann making his NHL debut and if we'll see more load management for hockey players. The guys are joined by Nashville Predators TV play-by-play voice Willy Daunic (21:31) to get his thoughts on the team's identity, how they've produced their offence on the ice, if Ryan Johansen is their number one centre, why they're hoping Tanner Jeannot will have a better second half, and a story of Willy being drafted to the Toronto Blue Jays. Afterwards, Sportsnet's David Amber jumps on (41:29) to share his idea on how the NHL can combat tanking, Vancouver Canucks' struggles, if a coaching change is imminent for the team, at the midway point, why he's more concerned about both teams in Alberta out of all the Canadian franchises, and who will make a big trade at the deadline, Kyle Dubas or Ken Holland. Finally, Coming In Hot Sens Podcast's Jason York joins the guys (1:06:29) to share the state of the Ottawa Senators at the halfway point of the year, if Pierre Dorion's job on the line despite a pending sale of the franchise, and Alex DeBrincat's future with the Sens. 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.
