About this episode
We had Mike Johnson back on the show to discuss the trade deadline from the angles of why teams can't have their cake and eat it too by trading away rental players they expect to re-sign, whether the Hurricanes need to be especially cold and calculating by cutting the cord with Eric Staal, and if the Ducks need to swing for the fences while they still can. We also chat about how extended shooting slumps are perpetuated, and if a goalie's stature can affect the way a shooter approaches attacking him. *Every episode of this podcast is available on iTunes, Soundcloud, and can also be streamed from our website.
