 Coaching Chaos and the Thanksgiving Playoff Marker

Listen to “THE DEBATE – Hockey Podcast – Episode 82 – Coaching Chaos and the Thanksgiving Playoff Marker” on Spreaker.

Unfortunately part of todays episode is about life….not hockey….life.. What is right what is wrong. Societies images..Societies failures, its mistakes, its forgiveness or lack of forgiveness. Brad Burud and Blake Friars love hockey. It is an escape from the troubles of the world. The abuse, whether it be physical, sexual or racial….sadly the escape of hockey is being intruded by the evil of society. Yep it is sad.. Plus we talk about the Playoff picture at American Thanksgiving. It is the first playoff bench mark of the year, and Brad and Blake share their thoughts on who is guaranteed a spot in and who is guaranteed a spot out. Then we take a trip around the league and discuss Taylor Hall future, Lehner, Carey Price and the sinking Habs, Ceci comments, Keller crash and Puljujarvi. It is all on this episode. Its emotional and argumentative. We just hope we can talk hockey the rest of the year…and that’s it!

 


NHL Power Ranking – 2019 November 30

The Boston Bruins are on top of the NHL Power Rankings thanks to a 7-0-3 run in their last 10 games.  They are a offensive powerhouse.  The Philadelphia Flyers headline the list of teams on the rise.  The Flyers gathered more points than any other team in the month of November.  Other movers in a positive direction this week are the San Jose Sharks (+5) and the Arizona Coyotes (+2).  The teams headed down are the Tampa Bay Lightning (-9). I have been waiting for last years Lightning to get things going but it looks like that is not going to happen.  The Canucks drop four spots and Montreal heads down two spots.
