Former NHL head coach Bruce Boudreau kicked off today's guest lineup with a candid breakdown of the biggest stories on the ice. Starting in Edmonton, Boudreau weighed in on the Oilers' finally having reliable goaltending—asking if this is what it feels like for other clubs—and debated whether their current style of play is sustainable long-term. The conversation then shifted to the struggles in Toronto and whether the Maple Leafs can right the ship. Finally, following Dusty's broadcast of the Senators game earlier this week, Boudreau shared his reaction to Jakob Chychrun's massive hit on Nick Cousins and recounted the biggest hit he has ever witnessed in person.
