New Papa Frankie Corrado joins Sean and DGB to discuss John Tortorella's controversial decision to bench captain Sean Couturier, in the Flyers regulation win over the Maple Leafs. The guys recap the General Manager meetings and the proposed rule changes to reviewing high sticks and the puck over the glass penalty. The guys praise the play of the Carolina Hurricanes, specifically the play of newcomer Jake Guentzel and the resurgence of Evgeny Kuznetsov.
Sean and Sean share what they've learned in the NHL in the past week: The resurgent Capitals may in fact be a playoff team and how the once set East wildcard is completely up in the air with 15 games left in the season. The two Sean's also mourn the loss of former NHL'ers Chris Simon and Konstantin Kolstov who passed away this week far too soon.
