Is Lindy Ruff on the Hot Seat?

Jeff and Elliotte discuss why, despite the New Jersey Devils' struggles, it wouldn't make sense for them to make a coaching change right now. They dive into a penalty filled affair between Vegas and Tampa on Thursday night and they throw out some of their favourite Hart Trophy candidates (27:25). Elliotte expands on some questions about the future of Frederik Andersen in Carolina (37:55) and also talks about Nolan Patrick's future in hockey (40:57). The guys discuss John Gruden (the hockey one) possibly becoming the Head Coach of the Ottawa Senators (45:55) and touch on Devon Toews going after his own players through the media (48:21). Jeff and Elliotte wrap the podcast by vouching for Jaromir Jagr to be eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame now, rather than in another three years after he suited up for Kladno again (1:19:47).The guys answer your questions in the Montana’s Thought Line (56:31).Email the podcast at 32thoughts@sportsnet.ca or call the Montana's Thought Line at 1-833-311-3232 and leave us a voicemail.This podcast was produced and mixed by Dominic Sramaty and hosted by Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman.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.
