Darryl Sutter 2.0 and the CFL/XFL fallout

In this weeks episode we discuss the Calgary Flames hiring of Darryl Sutter as head coach after being away from the team for 11 years. We look at how Sutter's coaching style could help turn the Flames around and possibly help move them to be in the playoff picture not on the outside looking in. We also discuss the fallout of the news that the CFL and XFL have held talks and will continue to do so to help potentially come to a partnership of some sort. This news has had CFL purists calling foul on the talks and saying no to a merger and 4 down football...none of which has even been said by either league. Is partnering with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson a bad thing? we don't think so.
In That's Offside we call offside on the lack there of player safety in the NHL as the league has handed down to suspensions on the short side for nasty hits to the head by Washington Capital Tom Wilson and Nashville Predator Dante Fabbro. We also call offside on Alex Ovechkin's defense of Wilson's hit as not a penalty.
In Are you Kidding Me we scratch our heads over Evander Kane and the San Jose Sharks possibly terminating his contract to avoid paying of his debts. Jordan Binnington's 6 year $36 million dollar extension with the St Louis Blues has us saying Are You Kidding me? Along with the Michigan State Spartans new name for their basketball program and Corey Perry of the Montreal Canadiens having more goals than 2 Buffalo Sabre superstars combined.
