On this episode of on the powerplay we introduce you to our new host Dave Gove. As an LA resident and a Kings fan, Dave will bring a western conference perspective to the show going forward.
Today we are a month away from the NHL trade deadline, we tackle what is going on with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Where is Cody Franson going? Will others follow him out of Toronto? and What will happen with Phil Kessel. We give our predictions.
Next we look at other trade deadline targets, Antoine Vermette, Jaromir Jagr, Andrej Sekara, Jiri Tlusty, Jeff Petry. What will be the price come deadline day? Who are the buyers?
We take a look at recent healthy scratches in Evander Kane, and Cody Hodgson. What are their futures in Winnipeg and Buffalo?
We move on to the news that the NHL suspended referee Tim Peel following a recent interview with Greg Wyshinski of Puck Daddy. What did he say? Why was he suspended? And is he really the worst referee in the NHL?
We also talk about how injuries to Kyle Okposo, Kevin Shattenkirk and Henrik Lundqvist will effect their teams.
Lastly we look at ESPN picking up coverage of the World Cup of Hockey. What does this mean for hockey on the Worldwide Sports Leader? How will they promote the event? Will it be a success?
The answers to all these questions and more as we go…. On the Powerplay.
