They are joined by Tampa Bay's head coach, Jon Cooper (4:40), who shares how backups Jonas Johansson and Matt Tomkins have fared in Vasilevskiy's absence, tougher competition around the Atlantic division, how he deals with wear and tear after several years of deep playoff runs and how he's evolved his coaching style over the years. Later, Jay Woodcroft quickly makes his way onto the hot seat, Connor Bedard's high usage to start the season and where Patrick Kane and Jesse Puljujärvi may end up. Finally, they answer your questions on the text line!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.
