Scott and Mark start off the show by discussing the merits (or lack thereof) of the shootout, and discuss better ways to decide a hockey game than a gimmicky skills competition. They then discuss rookie Kirby Dach's performance, and what kind of expectations he's setting for the long term, as well as Alex Nylander's struggles on the top line. Then they answer some listener questions about Matthew Highmore, Ian Mitchell, and the changing hockey culture when it comes to how coaches treat their players. Learn more about your ad choices.
