On The Powerplay 3 – Kane, Lundqvist, Tanking, Diving and More

Last Word on Sports is proud to present their newest hockey podcast, On the Powerplay with Ben, Shawn and Dave.  Join Ben Kerr, Shawn Wilken and Dave Gove each week as the take a look around the Hockey World focusing on the big issues of the NHL and elsewhere.

This week on On the Powerplay, we review the Evander Kane saga. What exactly happened in Winnipeg? Who is to blame? Did the Jets get full value? How are fans reacting and are they justified in doing so?

We also take a look at the injury to Henrik Lundqvist with him now out a month, how will it effect the Rangers and can they stay in the playoff race?

Kimmo Timonen looks ready for a return to the Flyers lineup. Can he solve the Flyers blue line issues? Would the Flyers consider moving the 39-year-old at the NHL trade deadline if they cant get back into the playoff race.

Running goalies, is it an epidemic? Should the league do something about it, and if so what?

The league is cracking down on diving. Is it working? Are their problems with how the league is going about it?

Tanking has become a hot topic. Does it work? Why can’t Edmonton win with all the high draft picks? Can the Sabres be different? Also if you want to tank, how do you go about it? Will players lose if management tells them to?
