Trevor Zegras of the Anaheim Ducks is good for the game. Bill Guerin named GM of Team USA, COVID 19 outbreak in the NHL; again and the Arizona Coyotes pay their bills

Craig Custance and Sean Gentille return with a new The Athletic Hockey Show: the Americans. The boys get set to welcome Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras as their special guest this week, but before they do that, they go in-depth on the comments that John Tortorella made on ESPN on Friday night, on if Zegras' creativity and boss pass is great or bad for the game. Ducks forward Trevor Zegras joins Sean and Gentille's arch rival, The Athletic Hockey Show Monday co-host and known Canadian, Hailey Salvian. Zegras, fresh off practice and a bunch of media commitments in Anaheim discusses the 'Michigan' pass to Sonny Milano, a play which has been viewed over 50 million times on social media, John Tortorella's analysis of the goal, the bounce back season for the Pacific leading Ducks, his friendship with Jack Hughes and Trevor gives us his scouting report on the US roster for the World Junior Hockey Championship. Sean and Hailey also dissect the very fluid situation with possibly another COVID-19 outbreak on the brink of taking over the NHL schedule again. Sean and Craig also address Team USA announcing Bill Guerin being named the General Manager of Team USA at the Olympics, and if players will get cold feet and not go to Beijing with COVID-19 ramping up again. Plus we hit on the Coyotes failure to pay their bills, and where they might play next season and Gary Bettman's proclamation that he has no plans to retire. Hosted on Acast.
