Matt Marchese returns alongside Mike Futa to break down the latest news from the NHL. They share thoughts on the Golden Knights' hiring John Tortorella and the Maple Leafs' GM search following MLSE President and CEO Keith Pelley's press conference, and project how different the Eastern Conference playoff picture might look next season. Shane O'Brien (27:24), former NHLer and co-host of Missin' Curfew, joins the boys to discuss what it was like playing for Rick Bowness and John Tortorella during his time in the league, along with Toronto's "data-driven" approach in their front office. Later, former NHL head coach Pete DeBoer (49:55) stops by to share some stories and experiences from behind the bench, before discussing the challenge of balancing data and the eye-test. Finally, Flyers radio analyst Todd Fedoruk (01:21:32) explains what's behind Philly's success post-Olympic break and sets the stage for the final eight games of the team's playoff push.
