Deb and Erika discuss the dismal performances of our home teams; the New Kid (Connor McDavid) v. The Old Kid (Sidney Crosby); and the Pittsburgh Penguins controversial decision to call up defenseman Tom Sestito for their game against the Winnipeg Jets.

In “What the Puck?”, they define and break down what is a defenseman and the role he plays on the team.

How do you feel about the changing role of the defenseman? Do you think there’s still a place for fighting in modern hockey?

Let us know what you think!
