Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert start with reaction to the Ottawa Senators firing DJ Smith, bringing back Jacques Martin and most interesting just might be the promotion of Daniel Alfredsson who is now an assistant coach. With that, Jeff Marek (2:27), who also dishes on Kyle Dubas’ struggles in Pittsburgh and watching his team give up against the Maple Leafs. Later, a trip to Ottawa where Brent Wallace joins us (25:42) to explain why this change was so obvious and needed and why it doesn’t mean DJ is a bad coach. Then, why Jacques Martin is the right guy at the right time. Finally, the roster, not being tough enough to pay against and why this will not be fixed this season.
