Jeff and Elliotte remember Canada’s hockey dad, Walter Gretzky, who passed away late Thursday night at the age of 82. They also touch on Calgary’s coaching change with Darryl Sutter taking charge (12:00), Trent Frederic’s sneaky toughness (29:30), the hiring of Sean Burke in Montreal (21:00), Jarmo Kekalainen’s confidence in John Tortorella (36:00), the Leafs’ sweep of the Oilers (37:10) and much more. Then, Minnesota captain Jared Spurgeon joins the podcast (44:00) to talk about the addition of Kirill Kaprizov, the team’s hot run this season, getting the ‘C’, signing a new contract in the off-season, the Wild’s retro jersey and his junior days in Spokane.
