Demko’s Imminent Return & Bruins Disconnect + Matthews Injury Update

Matt Marchese and Mike Futa kick off The FAN Hockey Show, joined by Elliotte Friedman, to discuss Craig Berube's update on Auston Matthews, whether this is cause for concern for Leafs fans, and when he will return. Next, the boys discuss how Alex Ovechkin's knee injury will shorten his season and whether he can maintain his goal-scoring streak despite his setback (29:07). Later, Matt and Mike discuss the Boston Bruins' disconnect and whether Bruins fans should panic. Next, the boys talk about last night's games before being joined by the Vancouver Canucks Announcer Brendan Batchelor (49:50) to talk about the state of the Canucks, Thatcher Demko's likely return to the lineup, and how the team will respond to the unexpected announcement of JT Miller's leave of absence. Finally, the boys are joined by Anson Carter (1:17:49) from The NHL on TNT to analyze the state of the Bruins, whether they can recover from their struggles, and whether they require a culture change.
