Rick Bowness' Coaching Itch + Hughes' Golden Goal Puck with Jason York

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee begin the second hour discussing Jack Hughes' request for the golden goal hockey puck from the Hockey Hall of Fame and the Hall's response, the potential for Leon Draisaitl to avoid surgery and be good-to-go for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Gary Bettman doubling down on his league's seeding format, and Russia's status for the World Cup. Then, Columbus Blue Jackets' head coach Rick Bowness stops by (18:30) to chat about his return to coaching, his Blue Jackets' success, and adjusting to a new team during a hockey season. Afterwards, Sportsnet hockey analyst and co-host of the Coming In Hot Sens Podcast, Jason York, joins the guys (29:03) to talk about why Hughes' puck belongs in the Hall, the Ottawa Senators chasing for a playoff spot, who's attributed to their run, and the difference between the Buffalo Sabres' turnaround since firing GM Kevyn Adams vs. Jackets changing head coaches.
