  • Best St. Louis Hockey Podcast

    Hockey Sense was always “must listen” radio when it was over the airwaves. Nothing has changed now that it’s a podcast. Strick always brings on great guests & shares insights & info about hockey around STL & the NHL.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 114 feat. Steve Ott
Q: What are you seeing from Justin Carbonneau? His first year pro, what's the biggest thing that you're paying attention to when coaching a player like him who can obviously shoot and score?
Ott emphasizes Carbonneau's play without the puck, including tracking, stopping, starting, and reloading. He says Carbonneau leads the team in five-on-five chances created, has a powerful shot, and is continuing to develop his details away from the puck.
Episode 114 feat. Steve Ott
Q: What's it like as a coach down there? You get a player of his caliber, he comes down and you know, you're not being able to keep them, right? I mean, it's such a different animal, Otter. You know, being in the American, like you're so focused on developing these kids to get to the NHL, right? But you're so competitive at the same time. I know you want to win every game. So how do you balance the whole winning versus, you know, development?
Ott says the team balances both goals by giving young players extra opportunities while teaching through the example of NHL players. He describes Springfield's success in terms of individual growth and the ability to compete in close games, not just its record.
Episode 113 feat. Darren Dreger
Q: Can we just safely assume he's not staying in Minnesota?
Dreger says he would not assume Quinn Hughes is leaving, but notes Minnesota should seek clarity and questions why Hughes would not have signed already if he intended to stay.
Episode 113 feat. Darren Dreger
Q: Who's are you holding the finger at? Is this all on Larkin? Does a team get any blame here?
Dreger says blame is shared among Detroit's ownership and management and Larkin. He argues the trade request should have been handled earlier, while also faulting Larkin for leaving after attending camp and playing preseason.
Episode 112 feat. Brian Burke
Q: What's going to take for us to call Connor McDavid the greatest player of all time?
Burke says McDavid is playing at a level as high as Gretzky did, but has not achieved the same accomplishments yet. He considers it too early to take Gretzky's place as the greatest.
