From Failing Hands

They opened things up by dispelling the notion that Bergevin acted out of desperation during the off-season with the moves he made. They talked about the depth we have across all four lines, what it would mean to lose a key player and why they’re not worried. The questions they took from the listeners centered mainly around their predictions for the new season and what a successful season would mean for them. Don’t forget to download and subscribe!
