Brad Marchand to be disciplined by player safety, Tuukka Rask to retire & Arizona Coyotes arena fiasco

Jesse and Sara welcome Sean Shapiro, the Athletic sports business reporter as guest co-host with Rob Pizzo on Olympic duty for the CBC.

The roundtable discusses Brad Marchand's punch and stick swinging towards Tristan Jarry in the Bruins loss to the Penguins on Tuesday night. Plus we look at the knee to the head of Adam Lowry courtesy of Marcus Foligno in the Jets win over the Wild.

We stick tap Tuukka Rask who looks like he will have to retire after a short lived return from hip surgery and Jack Eichel who is on the cusp on making his NHL debut after his artificial disk replacement surgery.

The roundtable looks back on the Gary Bettman / Bill Daly state of the franchise presser from the all-star game in Vegas, with thoughts on Rocky Wirtz, the World Cup of Hockey, Carolina getting a stadium series game and Florida getting the all-star game in 2023.

Plus Sean highlights his recent columns with Sara and Jesse including the NHL player agent poll and the ongoing drama with the Arizona Coyotes and their arena issues and we ask twitter, if you were GM of the Montreal Canadiens, what would you do?
