On the NHL podcast with Matt:
#1 San Jose Sharks Logan Couture says that he believes the Sharks will make the playoffs for the first time since 2015. Couture said there is belief in the room and confidence that the Sharks have the players that it takes to make the post season.
#2 Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask said that he has no intention to play anywhere else except in Boston. Rask 33 has an eight year $56 million deal with the Bruins. Rask 28-8-6 last season, lead the NHL with 2.12 goals against, and a .929 goal save percentage.
#3 Matt talk about the Philadelphia Flyers’ Shayne Gostisbehere who says he’s taking a clean slate into his seventh NHL season after having a good heart to heart talk with head coach Alain Vigneault. Gostisbehere has a tough time with injuries last season and told Vigneault that he feels healthy and and he’s feeling good right now.
#4 The Tampa Bay Lighting’s goaltender Andrei Vasilsevskiy said that he has a new face mask that has glowing eyes. Vasilsevskiy’s masks have always been original, artful and innovative but it will feature those scary glow in the dark eyes.
#5 The NHL has sold the naming right to all four West, South, North, and East divisions emblems which will feature sponsors, Honda, Nova Scotia Bank, Mass Mutual, and Discover. There is little doubt for the need of extra revenue because of no fans and no concessions and marketing the NHL agreed to use their naming rights to work with corporate sponsors.
