Ottawa’s Warm Welcome, the Hellebuyck Saga & Stan Bowman!

Matt Marchese and Mike Futa open today’s show with thoughts on Brady Tkachuk’s charged return to Ottawa and the creativity from the fans to welcome him back. Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press joins live from Dallas ahead of the Jets’ clash with the Stars tonight. They break down the latest in the Connor Hellebuyck saga, the destinations and potential trade packages that make sense, and the players fueling Winnipeg’s strong start to the season. After the break, Matt and Mike ask today’s Burning Question (36:58) about the greatest villains in hockey history, before producer Mike Gentile joins to ponder some questions from the Candy Jar (50:43)! Finally, Edmonton Oilers GM Stan Bowman (1:18:11) chats about what makes Connor McDavid such a dynamic player, the impact of the team’s coaching staff, Vasily Podkolzin’s development, Evan Bouchard’s play, and much more!
