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.
This week OTPP is happy to introduce a new contributor, LWOS writer Arslan Siddiqui (@therealSiddd) who will be joining us over the next several weeks.
First up is the situation in Montreal between Michel Therrien and P.K. Subban. After a recent loss to the Colorado Avalanche, Therrien threw the former Norris winner under the bus, saying that the Canadiens lost due to Subban making a selfish play. What does this mean for the Habs. Is Therrien finally on his last legs as Habs coach? Could P.K. Subban be traded from Montreal? What exactly is going on for this team that continues to implode?
In Minnesota the Wild’s lack of wins cost Mike Yeo his job. How can new coach John Torchetti turn the team around? What are the real problems in Minnesota? What does Chuck Fletcher have to do to fix the issues.
Steve Yzerman recently announced that Steven Stamkos will not be traded before the NHL Trade Deadline. Is this the right move for the Tampa Bay Lightning? Will the Lightning now go all in and make a trade for more help ahead of the deadline? Can Yzerman get Stamkos signed before he goes to unrestricted free agency? Where is he headed?
The boys examine a crazy situation with the Flint Firebirds in the OHL and try to figure out what happened in the team’s inaugural season in Flint. They also try to figure out what Dave Branch and company will do next.
We also examine the team imposed suspensions of Lance Bouma, Johnny Gaudreau, and Sean Monahan in Calgary; as well as Evander Kane in Buffalo. How do the situations compare and what do we think of what went on?
Lastly a look at Frankie Corrado’s recent comments about the Vancouver Canucks. What did he say and does it have any merit? What is going on with management in Vancouver? Are the Canucks buyers or sellers at the deadline?
All this and more in the latest edition of On the Power Play.
OTPP: Subban and Therrien, Yeo’s Firing, Stamkos, Flint and more
