Who are the hosts and special guests on this episode of The Hockey Show?

Roy 1:21
Welcome to the Hockey Show. My name is Roy Bellamy. David Dwork is to my left. He works for the Hockey News. Ethan is in the chair over there in the shipping container. Joining us is Jon Zaslow as a guest co-host of ESPN Radio and Zaslow Show 2.0. And also joining us, Adnan Virk from Prime Monday Night Hockey. He's going to join us here for the first segment. So, Adnan, where were you last week and where are you going this week?

What is the current vibe around the Maple Leafs in Toronto?

Adnan Virk 1:48
Roy, great to see you and friends. Dave, Zaz, Ethan, good to be back here. My monthly appearance here on the hockey show was just back home in Toronto for the Leafs and the Flames. And I got to tell you guys, everyone's feeling a little tight up there in Toronto. Everyone's getting a little nervous. Hopefully won't win the last six games. Talking to Craig Berube at Morning Skate. You know, just got to get the puck in there, get going a little bit. And they looked great. Austin Matthews, who has had a precipitous decline, as you guys know, from 69 goals a season to go to 24 entering Monday's play. I know he missed 15 games, but still hasn't been the same guy. If you look back at Bossy, Gretzky, Lemieux, Stamkos, anybody who scores 60-plus,
Adnan Virk 2:22
They don't have that kind of a drop. So it's been concerning. What happens? Matthew scores two. Leafs score three in the power play. I love Ryan Huska, along with Paul Maurice, one of my favorite coaches to talk to. But God, the Flames don't have much offensive talent. Love Nas as well, as we continue right now in Ramadan, one of my few Muslim brothers in the league. Nas, by the way, was great against the Rangers the next day. Goal and assist. A good win for the Flames. I just don't think the Flames have enough talent, honestly, offensively to compete. And Wolf, who's been such a great story, guys, as you know, he's in the Calder mix, unfortunately got blitzed. It wasn't really his fault, just the Leafs looked really good.
Adnan Virk 2:51
What I want to throw to you guys, though, especially since you mentioned Dave's bona fides with the hockey news, I got to interview Lanny McDonald and Daryl Sittler at the intermission. Now, think about Sittler, 10-point game. And I said to him, you know, when you think back at that moment, that game, what do you think about it? He goes, honestly, I'm shocked no one's broken it. I said, what? You think someone's going to have a 10-point game? He said, just at some point. Gretzky, Lemieux, Ovechkin, somebody would have done it. So I want to throw out to you guys, first off, do you think anyone will ever break Sittler's 10-point record? Then I got a hockey news thing for Dave in a second. Sittler first. What do you got? No. Ten points in a game? No. I hope not.

Will anyone break Sittler's 10-point record in the NHL?

Adnan Virk 3:22
As a goalie, I sure hope not. Good God. By the way, the closest to it, this is crazy. Yager had a seven-point game. Sam Gagne had an eight-point game back in 2012. Shout out to his father, Dave Gagne. Loved him on the North Stars.
David Samson 3:33
Great Panthers like it.
Adnan Virk 3:34
Dave Gagne has some good years for the Panthers. Dave, on the topic of the hockey news, I'm talking to Lanny McDonald. And of course, I'm just staring at the stash. And I said, Lanny, I got to tell you, I said, I read your book, by the way, back when I was like nine years old in 87. I saw the cover of Lanny. And I said, that mustache, you got to tell me about the stash.
