David Amber, Anthony Stewart, and Brian Burke host. The crew discuss the breaking news that the first NHL player, an Ottawa Senator, has tested positive for COVID-19 (2:44). Afterwards, SN’s own Justin Bourne joins to propose a new playoff format for when (if?) the NHL returns from the hiatus, while David presents his own solution to the playoff conundrum, including…a round-robin (17:17)?

In the second hour, two NHL head coaches stop by; Pittsburgh’s Mike Sullivan discusses having a player like Sidney Crosby making his life easier, his involvement with USA Hockey, and Tom Brady leaving his hometown Patriots (47:17). Columbus’ John Tortorella joins next to chat about his coaching job this year with the Blue Jackets, and some of his earliest coaching gigs (1:04:41).
