This entire offseason has been nothing but exciting, I’m excited to see how yager turns out
Can't wait for this season to start!!!!
I will say I’m excited Steve Mears is staying on for the radio side and for Josh Getzoff’s partner I could see Colby Armstrong or even Mike Rupp, I know he does a lot of work on the NHL Network, but he’s been on pre and post game telecasts for the Penguins in the past and is a frequent guest on Madden’s show, especially during hockey season.
Absolutely I think there is heat on Mike Sullivan this year. Last year could have been better with some of the personnel decisions made, but he was given a poor roster courtesy of Hextall. However, Kyle Dubas has made so many changes and I think has given the team better depth than last season, especially with acquiring Erik Karlsson.
So I def think the pressure is on because Dubas has given you more depth and options than last year. One thing different than last year, I do think Sullivan and Dubas are on the same page, unlike the previous regime where there was clear issues with Hextall and Sullivan regarding roster decisions.
Only thing I'm bummed about is I was hoping Phil Bourque was coming to TV with Getzoff, but at least he's keeping his radio spot. I actually love listening to Bourque, he doesn't sugarcoat things, he doesn't act like a homer at all.
Hey Hunter is Hailey your sister? Lol
We are 22 days from Josh Yohe’s first “good morning hockey fans” tweet of the year!!!!
