Description
Ian Mendes and Mark Lazerus discuss tough times in Buffalo as the Sabres players backed their coach Don Granato after Sabres fans started chanting for Granato to be fired. The Jacques Martin era in Ottawa, version 2.0, failed to get off on the right foot vs Arizona, with their second game coming tonight vs the Colorado Avalanche who were called out for their poor play by defender Devon Toews in the last game vs the Black Hawks. Plus the guys wonder if Chicago could be a fit for free agent Phil Kessel and if injured forward Nolan Patrick will ever play another game in the NHL? Down Goes Brown joins the show to discuss Dylan Larkin's tough, fair comments on the NHL and Player Safety and Eric Duhatschek stopped by to talk about Craig Conroy's plan in Calgary, and 51 year old Jaromir Jagr who laced up the skates for his hometown team in Kladno, which will once again delay his Hall of Fame induction by another three years.
