Shanahan Shocker

It was a late night and the Leafs make a major move! Jeff and Elliotte discuss Brendan Shanahan's press conference as the Toronto Maple Leafs will not be bringing back Kyle Dubas as their GM (00:01). They also recap the 4OT thriller between Florida-Carolina (25:00), the performance from Sergei Bobrovsky and the play of Brandon Montour. They also go into some news from around the league — Clayton Keller and the Coyotes (37:30), Spencer Carbery (44:00), Viktor Arvidsson and the LA Kings (45:30), the salary cap (46:30), Ottawa sale (47:50), what Nashville might be doing with their coaching staff (56:20), and updates on searches in Pittsburgh (50:40), Calgary (52:30), Columbus (54:30), Anaheim (55:00), and Washington (55:40).

Plus, the guys chat with Paul Stastny (58:20) about how he approaches the postseason, officiating in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, his relationship with referees, the art of the faceoff, what makes a great organization, going to his father for advice and becoming a hockey day, and what he took away from his time in Winnipeg.
