Blues Fire Craig Berube + Gazdic Talks Battle of the Connors
Jeff kicks things off with Hailey Salvian of The Athletic, who discusses the Calgary Flames' mentality at the quarter-mark of the season, when Craig Conroy should make a move for Chris Tanev, and which teams could make a run at him. Then, they discuss the “Fire D.J.” chants in Ottawa last night, what is on the horizon for the Senators, and Brady Tkachuk losing his cool last night after a flying pokecheck thwarted his penalty shot. Then, The Athletic's Jeremy Rutherford joins the show to discuss the St. Louis Blues' decision to fire head coach Craig Berube and the team's play so far this season (30:55). Sportsnet’s Luke Gazdic wraps things up with a chat about the first encounter between the Connor’s (McDavid and Bedard), how Nick Foligno has been able to help Bedard, and what's changed in Edmonton amidst the Oilers' 8-game win streak (49:58).
