Last Word on Sports is proud to present their hockey podcast, On the Powerplay 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 are back in what is a shorter off-season edition of On The Powerplay.
While its fun for the boys to talk about hockey every week, sometimes the hockey world is hit with issues that are a little more serious off-the-ice than the games on the ice. Unfortunately this is one of those weeks. There is currently an investigation of Chicago Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane. The boys get into the latest news from that investigation, discuss what we know about the allegations, and what it could potentially mean for his NHL career going forward. They also discuss on how this is already being felt in Patrick Kane’s pocket book, as the allegations alone are the reason he is no longer the spokesperson for EA Sports NHL 16.
The boys also discuss the Los Angeles Kings and their termination of the contract of Mike Richards. The NHLPA has filed a grievance of the termination. We look into what this all means. Speaking of the Kings they also look at the latest from the legal situation of defenceman Slava Voynov, as well as the recovery from the injury he suffered in training.
All that and more in this week’s edition of On The Power Play.
