Bo Knows… He’s Staying on the Island

The Jeff Marek Show

David Amber joins Jeff to look back on All-Star weekend in Florida, before discussing Bo Horvat’s new contract extension with the Islanders and if the NHL should revert to a 1-8 playoff seeding format. Next up, Islanders reporter Andrew Gross weighs in on Horvat’s freshly minted deal, why this extension made sense for both the team and the player, and how this could open up New York as a destination for free agents again (31:06). Producer Matt Marchese brings us today's "Random Player of the Day" – Blaine Stoughton (49:59)! Later on, Kelly Hrudey chats about Wayne Gretzky’s appreciation for tough players, the Flames' decision to start Jacob Markstrom after the break, and previews Calgary's matchup against the Rangers tonight (58:29). To wrap up, we hear from Elias Pettersson about his future in Vancouver from his appearance on the 32 Thoughts Podcast (01:22:08).
