Mar 31, 2021, 04:00 AM

Daren welcomes in his old partners from Sportsnet's Hockey Central, Nick Kypreos and Doug MacLean. They reminisce about their time working together, and share their opinions on why the show worked, the importance of building chemistry and the connection they made with many hockey fans. They banter about who the top teams in the NHL are, Brian Burke's return to the front office, the challenges that Kevyn Adams is facing in Buffalo & how the Club should handle Jack Eichel. Doug explains just how difficult it is to find premier players, and points out the importance of having bonified centers on your team (he points to McDavid, Matthews & MacKinnon). Nick believes that Eichel isn't in that class of players just yet, but could be in the right situation. Doug & Nick also offer their opinions on the Tim Peel incident, the importance of being cautious around hot mics, the role that referees play in game management and why the NHL had to take action in this case.
