There are also concerns that the team is not drawing many fans to the building, despite having some success and a superstar in <strong>John Tavares<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Another team with attendance issues is the <strong>Ottawa Senators<\/strong>. Will they get a new downtown building? Or could they be on the move to Quebec City.<\/p>\n<h3>Craig Anderson<\/h3>\n<p>On a different note the boys look at what is going on with <strong>Craig Anderson,\u00a0<\/strong>his abscence from the team to be with his wife Nicholle, and the acquisition of <strong>Mike Condon<\/strong> to give him a bit of a break.<\/p>\n<p>The boys also look at the <strong>Los Angeles Kings<\/strong>. Can they make the playoffs this season? Do they need to make a big trade for a goalie. Or is this the year to look at reloading for 2017-18.<\/p>\n<p>Another team suffering injuries is the <strong>Buffalo Sabres<\/strong>. Can they get through this and still make the playoffs?<\/p>\n<p>All this and more as we go on the power play.<\/p>\n<h2>OTPP: Barclays Center Ice and Attendance Issues; and More<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/media\/player\/ie9qd-645039?from=yiiadmin&#038;skin=1&#038;download=0&#038;share=1&#038;fonts=Helvetica&#038;auto=1\" height=\"100\" width=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Chill Puck is proud to bring you On The Power Play.\u00a0 Ensure your drinks are always cold with the Chill Puck.\u00a0 Type in the code \u201clastword\u201d at <a href=\"http:\/\/chillpuck.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chillpuck.com<\/a> to get free shipping.
