Matt Marchese and Mike Futa kick off this midweek edition of The FAN Hockey Show alongside Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. They dive into Gary Bettman's press conference today to break down the NHL Commissioner's comments on the decentralized draft, Collective Bargaining Agreement, and All-Star game format. Friedge examines the Canadiens' five-goal third period to snatch a win away from the Senators, the Flames' narrow victory in the Big Apple to keep pace in the playoff race, and the Canucks' statement win at home over the Jets. Elliotte wraps up with one rule change he would propose if he was a general manager for the day, along with the latest on Russia's eligibility to compete in the 2026 Olympic Games.
