Injuries pile up, young stars rise, and Winter Classic threads have arrived. Adnan Virk joins The Hockey Show to break down a wild NHL landscape.
A string of strange injuries and the NHL’s youth movement were big topics of discussion on this week’s episode of The Hockey Show.
Just before the show began, co-hosts Roy Bellamy and David Dwork found out about Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck missing four to six weeks after having knee surgery, and that just added to an already growing list of big name players who are missing time.
Jack Hughes was also added to the list after suffering an injury while…out to dinner?
Then there’s the always seemingly growing injured list in South Florida, as the Florida Panthers continue to lose players and yet they continue to find ways to win.
Joining the show this week was Prime Monday Night Hockey host, movie buff and all-around good guy Adnan Virk.
Adnan and the boys got into the Winter Classic uniforms, the ongoing struggles of the league’s Canadian teams, a couple incidents of extracurricular activities between the Rangers and Red Wings, and the Avalanche and Islanders, and, of course, some pop culture/entertainment chatter.
