OTPP: Adidas Jerseys, Lemaire in T.O, and Stoll in New York

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.

Dave and Ben start the show discussing the impact of the NHL’s new deal to go with Adidas Jerseys in 2017-18. What does this mean for jersey designs? How much will things change? Is this going to lead to the NHL getting corporate sponsors on jerseys? Is that really a bad thing?

The boys also look at Jacques Lemaire reuniting with Lou Lamoriello in Toronto. Officially Lemaire is going to be the Special Assignment coach. What does that mean? and are there too many chefs in the Toronto management and coaching group now? How will this all play out.

They also look at Jarret Stoll, and what his signing with the New York Rangers means for next year. Can he put his off-ice issues behind him in the Big Apple?

The boys move on to Anaheim, where the Ducks have given Mike Santorelli a one-year deal. They look at his addition to the team, and what they expect to see out of the Ducks next season. They also look at the Ducks constant search for a winger to play with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, and ask if Carl Hagelin is the answer in that spot?

The boys also discuss Canada’s eight straight Ivan Hlinka gold medals, and the constant problem with this tournament and the U18 world Championships and the fact that neither is a true best on best U18 tournament. They explore some options to change that.

All that and more in this week’s edition of On the Power Play.
