About this episode
Greg Wyshynski joins the show to discuss the effects the Ottawa Senators unique playing style has on fan interest, both Conference Finals matchups, and whether there's actually any merit to the idea of an Alex Ovechkin trade this summer. Apologies in advance for the inexplicable jazz music that's playing quietly in the background throughout the show. It wasn't intentionally done, unless you happen to enjoy it, in which case it totally was.
