With the NHL’s regular season beginning last Wednesday, I paneled nine respected NHL media voices for a roundtable discussion on a number of issues:
The panel:
• David Amber, studio host, “Hockey Night in Canada,” Sportsnet (Canada)
• John Buccigross, “SportsCenter” anchor and NHL playcaller and analyst
• Isabelle Khurshudyan, Capitals reporter, Washington Post
• Mike Harrington, Sabres reporter, Buffalo News
• Sean McIndoe, hockey writer, Vice Sports, Sportsnet, and Hockey News
• Tracey Myers, Blackhawks reporter, CSN Chicago
• Aaron Portzline, Blue Jackets reporter, The Columbus Dispatch
• John Shannon, studio analyst, HockeyCentral, Sportsnet (Canada)
• Greg Wyshynski, Yahoo Sports, editor of Puck Daddy blog
Editor’s note: The panel was asked to go as long or as short as they wanted with their answers.
