The new, large NHL contracts makes you appreciate Sidney Crosby only signing for $8.7 million. Lou in Staten Island, a Canadians fan, doesn't want to see Montreal give up pieces if they traded for Crosby. If Aaron Rodgers continues to play well and wants to come back, we all would consider it.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Eli Holstein is still the starter for Pitt against Boston College. Holstein has a "normal" leash.

Tyler describes the cultural differences playing in different NHL cities. The Penguins are not going to beat teams with a superior offense, but it's going to come down to toughness. Ryan Graves is one of the bad contracts that Kyle Dubas signed.
