Patrick Roy Is Back in the NHL

Jeff and Elliotte open the podcast talking about the New York Islanders hiring Patrick Roy as their new head coach and dive into which player this hire helps most within the Islanders roster (13:39). The guys talk about Corey Perry deciding to sign with the Edmonton Oilers (18:17), and the Vancouver Canucks extending President of Hockey Ops Jim Rutherford (22:14). Jeff also asks Elliotte how "all-in" the Canucks are for this season (26:48). They also get into Shane Pinto's return to play with Ottawa and what an extension might look like for him (28:22). Jeff and Elliotte then discuss Ryan Reaves using the media to angle for more playing time, and Ilya Samsonov possibly commanding the Leafs' net (32:58). Jeff wraps the podcast with some of his usual hockey history hijinks (55:40).

The guys answer your questions in the Montana’s Thought Line (45:12).
