Last Word on Sports is proud to present their hockey podcast, On the Power Play 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.
The boys are back and looking at the news from around the NHL.
OTPP: Gerard Gallant Out, Vegas Calling, Dougie Hamilton Rumors and More
There has been plenty of news since our last podcast and we break it all down for you.
The expansion team in Las Vegas has a name, the Vegas Golden Knights. Dave and Ben breakdown the announcement and give their thoughts on the name and the logo. They also talk about the unveiling and what went wrong.
They also look at the Florida Panthers decision to fire head coach Gerard Gallant. Why was he let go? Was it deserved? What should the Panthers have done differently? Could Gallant be the first coach of Vegas, or will he wait for another job?
Brian Burke was vocal this week when he denied the swirling Dougie Hamilton rumors. Who was the general manager who got him so upset. Is he serious with his 20 first rounders comment?
The boys also look at Jack Eichel‘s return to the Buffalo Sabres. Can they go on a run and get back into the playoff picture? Is the young phenom going to take the big leap forward that we have seen from Connor McDavid this year?
The NHLPA has rejected the league’s offer to go to the 2018 Olympics in exchange for extending the CBA. Does this mean that there is now no chance we see NHLers in South Korea? What other alternatives are there.
All that and more in this edition of On the Power Play.
