On the newest WhyHockey show, Tommy headed to Detroit for Sergei Fedorov’s jersey retirement night and he talks about the experience here plus much more including:

0:00: Tommy’s experience at Sergei Fedorov’s jersey retirement night

13:00: Gary Bettman (and Matt’s sister) binged Heated Rivalry! What a world!

18:30: The Panthers finally get Matthew Tkachuk back. Is it enough to get on the run they need to make a firmer playoff push?

26:45: Why haven’t the Panthers been able to go on a winning streak like many in the East have? Why is that consistency not there?

41:00: There’s a Panthers standard that hasn’t been met in more games this season than usual

47:00: Tommy on the Flyers, brace for impact

1:09:45: Rasmus Andersson to Vegas, and explaining a type of defensemen

Note that since we recorded this the afternoon of the 19th, no goalie fight discussion on this show. Podcaster’s curse.
