Ken Dryden Tribute, Vegas Goaltending & Flyers Identity ft. Rick Tocchet & Jesse Granger | The Sheet

The Sheet with Jeff Marek delivers another can’t-miss NHL deep dive, packed with elite guests and headline storylines from around the league. Jeff opens with a powerful reflection on the Montreal Canadiens’ moving tribute to Ken Dryden at the Bell Centre — calling it one of the most perfect ceremonies in hockey history. Then, Jesse Granger of The Athletic joins the show to break down the Vegas Golden Knights’ strong start, Adin Hill’s injury, Akira Schmid’s rise in goal, and the growing buzz surrounding Carter Hart possibly signing with Vegas. They also react to Jack Eichel’s $13.5 million AAV extension, Bill Foley’s aggressive spending, and how Vegas continues to set the gold standard for NHL franchises. Later, Philadelphia Flyers Head Coach Rick Tocchet joins to discuss Sean Couturier’s resurgence, Trevor Zegras’ maturity, Matvei Michkov’s development, and how he’s rebuilding Flyers identity and culture from the ground up.
