October 21 The Skate Pod, Ep. 621: Should Sturm Trust the Kids More?
We discuss the Bruins' overtime loss in Dallas, which wrapped up a road trip that saw Boston take seven of eight points. Why did Marco Sturm bench James Hagens, Matt Poitras, Frederic Brunet and Mason Lohrei late? Why isn't he trying something different on the power play? Plus, Marat Khusnutdinov is reportedly closing in on an extension and Nikita Zadorov comments on his benching.
