Should the NHL change the schedule structure? Plus, Bob Kelly retires & your Philadelphia Flyers questions!

On today's episode, Rachel & Russ note the Philadelphia Flyers announcement that team legend Bob Kelly is retiring from his fan & community relations role. We discuss his impact on the fan base. Then we look at the proposed 84 game schedule structure and what it would mean for the league, player wear & tear, ticket sales, and more. Also, what should they do about the scheduled All Star Game next year, and should the GM’s look at changing coaches' challenges?

Plus this week’s mailbag where we answer your questions on Tyson Foerster, Sam Ersson vs Ivan Fedotov, the draft, where we are in the rebuild, and more.
