Joel Quenneville joins the show, Tyler Bertuzzi forgoes COVID-19 vaccination, Ukranian league player Andri Denyskin’s horrendous on-ice actions, Multiple Choice Madness, and much more

First, Ian and Hailey talk about Dom Lusczyszyn’s preseason rankings and discuss where the Seattle Kraken could end up in the Pacific division, the disgusting incident involving Ukranian league player Andri Denyskin making a racial gesture towards Jalen Smereck, Tyler Bertuzzi’s interesting first press conference since deciding to forgo a COVID-19 vaccination, and more.

Then, Florida Panthers head coach Joel Quenneville joins the show to talk about what a typical day at the rink looks like for him, Aaron Ekblad’s return to the lineup after his season abruptly ended due to injury last year, the similarities between Aleksander Barkov and Jonathan Toews, realistic expectations for Spencer Knight in goal, what last season’s playoff series against the Tampa Bay Lightning meant for Florida hockey, and a potential rivalry between the two teams, and much more.

Plus, to close things out, Ian and Hailey run through a series of Multiple Choice Madness questions, including which team’s fan base should be worried about a bottom-ten finish this season, whether there should be shootouts at the end of every preseason game or not, and if replica jerseys should include advertising patches.
