In the second hour of tonight’s show, Matt Pauley goes over the details of Sonny Gray’s 3year, $75 million deal, which calls for only $10 million in his first year. Lou Korac of NHL.com and The Hockey News also joins the show to discuss the ups and downs of this Blues season, their playoff hopes, and how they need to improve their powerplay to compete with the tough teams of this league. Matt also touches on the disconcerting news surrounding Bally Sports and how they may lose the rights to broadcasting local sports.
