Rick Tocchet wins as Vancouver turns the page on Boudreau, Gary Bettman says nobody tanks and Mike Murphy celebrates 50 years in Hockey

Rob, Jesse and Russo discuss the fallout from Bruce Boudreau's time in Vancouver, Rick Tocchet's debut behind the Canucks bench and the lessons to be learned on how this entire saga was played out. The guys discuss commissioner Gary Bettman's comments that nobody in the NHL tanks, Vegas joins Philadelphia in minimizing IPAD use on the bench, and Max Pacioretty's horrific injury with his 2nd ruptured achilles tendon in a year, and what Carolina will do to try to replace him.

Mike Murphy from the NHL joins Rob and Mike to celebrate his 50 years in hockey as a player, head coach, assistant coach and an executive in the leagues front office. The guys talk about the inception and evolution of the NHL's situation room, if Murph has any regrets and what's next in retirement.
