Senators Hire Jacques Martin + Bill Guerin Joins the Show

Jeff kicks off the show with the big news surrounding the Ottawa Senators hiring Jacques Martin. Sportsnet's own Kelly Hrudey joins Jeff to discuss what went wrong in Calgary last night against the Wild, how Dan Vladař and Dustin Wolf performed, the impact coaching changes can have on a locker room, and more. Then, Ian Mendes of The Athletic joins the show to discuss the Senators adding Jacques Martin behind the bench, D.J. Smith’s job security, who could be the next coach in Ottawa, and Michael Andlauer’s vision for Ottawa (32:29). Then, Minnesota Wild General Manager, Bill Guerin, joins the show (50:07)! He discusses his team's 5-game win-streak since the coaching change, why he thought that John Hynes was the right man for the job, the timing of the change, and what he's noticed from rookie blue-liner Brock Faber. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
