Matt Marchese and Mike Futa open today’s show alongside Luke Gazdic, former NHLer and Sportsnet analyst. They chat about the sustainability of the Senators’ hot start, the challenge of shifting to a new captain within the room, the debut of Luke in the Box on Monday Night Hockey, and the latest on Connor Hellebuyck and Dylan Larkin. Next, Matt and Mike set the stage for tonight’s loaded night of hockey (43"35) with 16 games on tap! Later, behavioral scientist Dr. Alicia Naser (51:15) joins the guys to discuss the importance of having a short memory as a player, the mentality of playing until the final whistle, the internal battle when recovering from an injury, and much more! Finally, NBC Philly analyst and former Flyer, Scott Hartnell (1:21:21) stops to break down Philadelphia’s winless start to the season, identifies some positives from the first seven games, and looks into the team’s path back into contention.
