Darren Pang checks in and talks about the front office shakeup in Montreal (12:00) and explains the challenges that come with trying to re-build that franchise. Pang is asked whether or not Ovechkin will break Gretzky's goal record and his answer is quite surprising and very specific (11:00). What's Pang's take on some of the slew-footing that's been happening around the League and Brendan Lemieux's biting incident... well, he doesn't hold back and shares a few reasons why there's been an uptick in slew-footing (18:00). Pang looks at the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers and shares his opinion on each team, plus he discusses some of the reasons why Zach Hyman has been so good this year (21:00). Should we be impressed with the Maple Leafs or wait until the playoffs? Pang has some thoughts on why what the Leafs are doing right now should be appropriately recognized and will impact their playoff run (23:30). He finishes the conversation talking about Vladimir Tarasenko (36:00) and sharing some memories of being named a Calder Trophy finalist, and shows off a few of his NHL mementos that he's saved throughout the years (28:00).
