Jeff and Elliotte kick this edition of 32 Thoughts off by recapping the NHL's GM Meetings from Del Boca Vista, Florida. They touch on how George Parros might involve more Managers from across the league to get additional opinions on rulings, the expansion of video review, and the advent of more video coaches for each NHL team. Jeff and Elliotte then turn their attention to Patrick Roy and the New York Islanders who continue to slide (20:40). They also talk about the Red Wings, who are in the thick of the playoff race, and how important it is for the league that they make the playoffs (28:00). That is followed by an in-depth conversation revolving around the situation between John Tortorella and Sean Couturier in Philadelphia (31:54). They wrap up the A-block of the pod by talking about the surging Nashville Predators (42:26), and Zach Hyman possibly scoring his 50th goal in Toronto this weekend (46:49).
