Pete is joined by guests Nick Alberga of Sportsnet and Chris Meaney of FTN Network to take fan questions and go around the NHL talking fantasy and betting storylines for Week 9. The guys discuss the coaching change bump for the Canucks under Bruce Boudreau, how the Flyers are less likely to turn things around after firing Alain Vigneault and what to do with Philadelphia’s top players Sean Couturier and Claude Giroux in fantasy. The guys also identify some of the breakout players of the season, including Sonny Milano, Ryan Hartman, Evan Rodrigues, Valeri Nichushkin and more. Other topics covered in the show include Ben Bishop nearing a return in Dallas’ already crowded goalie mix, Thatcher Demko vs. Jake Oettinger for rest of season, Darcy Kuemper’s return, Logan O’Connor, Jacob Trouba, in-house replacements for injured Jake Guentzel, Mackenzie Blackwood, the contract-year debate of Tomas Hertl vs. Ondrej Palat and what to watch for this weekend.
