Last Word on Sports is proud to present their hockey podcast, On the Power Play with Ben and Dave. Join Ben Kerr and Dave Gove each week as they take a look around the Hockey World focusing on the big issues of the NHL and elsewhere.
Ben and Dave look back at the World Cup of Hockey. What teams were surprisingly good? Who was surprisingly bad? Does the success of Team Europe and Team North America quiet the critics of these gimmick teams being included in the tournament? What is wrong with Finland? How many mistakes did Team USA make and who will return on their management team? What happened to Sweden and Russia? What is the future of Czech hockey? Does Ralph Krueger get an NHL coaching job? Is Sidney Crosby back on his perch as the world’s best player? Did anyone really stand a chance of stopping Canada?
The boys also look at the injuries that came out of the tournament. How does the Marian Gaborik injury affect the Los Angeles Kings? Can the Dallas Stars cope without Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn? What happened with Aaron Ekblad‘s concussion, and did Team North America handle it properly? How about Henrik Zetterberg and the Detroit Red Wings?
Lastly the boys examine the Jacob Trouba situation. What is happening in Winnipeg and where does he go? How much money will John Gaudreau get from the Calgary Flames. Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov; Buffalo’s Rasmus Ristolainen; Arizona’s Tobias Rieder; and Anaheim’s Hampus Lindholm are all holding out. We examine each case and try to find out what is going on.
All this and more, as we go on the On The Power Play.
