Rick Bowness, who has coached the most games in NHL history, joins JD to discuss Craig Berube's post-game comments and explains a coaches perspective when dealing with a lack of compete level. Bowness details what a disconnected and lifeless team can do to turn the compete level up a notch, the nuances between being a first and second year coach, if a team can implement 'nastiness' when the leadership core doesn't have that in their game, what a coach yelling on the bench really means, and how to balance the fine line of competition. JD reacts to Bowness' comments and explains his confusion about the Leafs leadership group. The last show of 2025 ends with 'What We Missed!' (26:00)
