Bruce Dowbiggin and Evan Dowbiggin,
authors of the new book Deal With It tell us about the book and
some of the great NHL trades that they cover in it. Also we get
some insights in to the process of trades in the NHL and also some
history on the Alan Eagleson saga from the early 90s.
We are at the quarter point in the
season so we have a look at how our predictions are shaping up.
Sidney Crosby hit the 600 goal milestone and we discuss how high
he'll get on the all time list. Joe Thornton's number was retired
by San Jose this week and we get into a discussion about his
legacy.
The Leafs beat the Oilers in OT
so Dale and I discuss, including Ryan Reaves, suspension-earning
hit on Darnell Nurse. It got him 5 games and we have opinions on
that. We also dig into the fancy stats to project whose starts are
mirages and whose are the real deal.
The NHL reveal the sweaters for
the 4 Nations Faceoff and we give our thoughts. Dale's a big
nickname guy and we discuss the best ones in the NHL today and also
the best in history.
We are delighted to be joined
by Paul Stewart, Tampa Bay Buccaneers historian and Lightning Fan.
We disucss his hockey journey and get his take on Stamkos and
the Lightning start to the season. He then puts Dale and I
through our trivia paces in a special Guess the 5th.
