In this Hockey Day in Canada edition of 32 Thoughts LIVE from Moncton NB, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman react to Mitch Marner facing the Maple Leafs for the first time since signing in Vegas, while also highlighting jersey retirement nights for Zdeno Chára in Boston and Sergei Fedorov in Detroit (17:00). The guys dig into a surprising coaching change in Columbus (26:22). Things shift to our live show where the fellas open with Rasmus Andersson emerging as the hottest name on the trade market (30:19), and bleak times in New York where the Rangers’ goaltending can no longer mask deeper issues (37:18). They discuss Vancouver opening the door to offers on everyone, Elias Pettersson’s difficult stretch, and Filip Hronek as the Canucks’ most valuable trade chip (44:24). Plus, the episode features interviews with Moncton Wildcats captain and Utah Mammoth fourth-overall pick Caleb Desnoyers (47:37), Wildcats head coach Gardiner MacDougall (1:03:19), and Kevin Bieksa (1:27:43).

Kyle and Elliotte answer crowd questions in the Thoughtline (1:55:14).

Today we highlight New Brunswick's Mike Trask. Trask’s songwriting deconstructs traditional genre conventions to reshape the familiar into something extraordinary. Check out his music here.
