Around the NHL with Elliotte Friedman: Canucks Crumble + Sens' Scoring Drought

Matt Marchese and Mike Futa kick off Friday on The FAN Hockey Show with a debate about how to hold a hockey stick when on the bench - knob up or blade up? Elliotte Friedman, Sportsnet NHL insider and co-host of 32 Thoughts, joins the conversation to share his take, before diving into last night's NHL action. They start with the Canucks' disappointing effort in a 6-2 loss against the Oilers, the Senators' scoring drought after another shutout, and Brad Marchand's latest antics choking Nick Cousins. Friedge wraps up with thoughts on who will secure the final Wild Card spots in the Eastern Conference, Jonathan Huberdeau's turnaround this season in Calgary, and how Jacob Markström's injury impacts the Devils' rotation in goal.
