Deep Dive

A ‘necessary evil’ or an overpriced school sports day? Just like marmite, which side of the fence do you sit on when it comes to the All-Star Weekend? Rob McGregor of the One Puck Short Podcast (https://onepuckshort.wordpress.com) is this week’s guest. Talking points covered: What’s New York Islanders’ secret? Even with the addition of Lou Lamoriello and Barry Trotz nobody could have foreseen such a speedy turnaround as they sit top of the Metropolitan Division. What next for Edmonton Oilers? The top dog Bob Nicholson says playoffs are still in sight but they’ll take their time over picking their next GM. But who will it be? Someone young with fresh eyes or an NHL stalwart like Ron Hextall? And another round of man crush of the week includes conversation about a stick, a woman and an outspoken rebel. Note: we recorded this before the Jake Muzzin trade! Presented by Clare Freeman and Jolon Kemp Walker. Produced by ASFB Productions.
