Frank Seravalli’s backdrop was a beautiful blue sky with an abundance of palm trees as he was in Florida for the upcoming Board of Governors meeting. He speculated on some of the potential talking points some of the most important people in the sport will face, including the salary cap, the future of Gary Bettman and some ideas on the ice.
From there, the boys hit the booming Washington Capitals, struggling Florida Panthers, and Darryl Sutter’s recent comments after a loss to Toronto.
Our guest on the show today was Brent Thompson, head coach of the Bridgeport Islanders. Oh, he’s also the father of the NHL’s greatest player, Tage Thompson. We spoke to Brent about where he was when Tage scored five goals against the Columbus Blue Jackets and got his perspective on his son’s rapid rise to NHL stardom. He is also preparing to coach his other son Tyce for the first time later this week and has spoken about the experience.
