Episode 278: The Hangover Cure

Jesse Granger joins the show to discuss the Vegas Golden Knights, and their ups and downs in Year 2 in the NHL.

Topics discussed include how the team is balancing expectations as they get weaned off last year's high (3:00), how George McPhee will approach the trade deadline (17:45), why Nate Schmidt is the picture perfect modern day defenseman (28:10), Marc-Andre Fleury's alarming usage (35:30), why Vegas is thriving as a hockey market (46:30), and the winners and losers of the recent Charlie Coyle trade (55:50).
