Ovechkin Chasing History w/ Stephen Whyno + A Seattle Sound Off

Matt Marchese and Mike Futa open The FAN Hockey Show with Washington Capitals writer Stephen Whyno to discuss Alex Ovechkin's historic goal-scoring consistency after potting his twentieth, head coach Spencer Carbery's candidacy for the Jack Adams Award with his effectiveness at the helm, Pierre-Luc Dubois' resurgence, and the wealth of prospects in the Capitals' pipeline. Then, the duo chat the value of a Stanley Cup chase for the Edmonton Oilers, and Tony DeAngelo's possible interest in an NHL return (31:24). Next, Kate Shefte (49:48) of The Seattle Times joins the show to break down the Seattle Kraken’s season, including their underwhelming performance throughout the first half of the year, realistic expectations for Matty Beniers, retooling the team at the trade deadline, and the spark that Jessica Campbell provides the group from the bench.
