VGK announced the hiring of two new assistant coaches. Dominique Ducharme, the former Montreal Canadiens head coach joins Bruce Cassidy's staff as does Joel Ward, who was an assistant with the AHL Silver Knights. Ducharme was fired a season removed from guiding the Habs to the Stanley Cup Final, where his team lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning. He was fired in February 2022 after his team had several key injuries, COVID issues, and a new front office. It is not certain what the duties will be for Ducharme and Ward, but VGK now has three current or former NHL head coaches begin the bench (Ducharme, Stevens and Cassidy.) Ward has been with Henderson since the franchise moved to Las Vegas in 2020. They replace Ryan Craig, who was promoted to new head coach of AHL Henderson and Mishka Donskov, who left the organization for undetermined reasons. We also talk about the VGK team members on the ESPY's Red Carpet - Nic Hague, Adin Hill and Jonathan Marchessault. We talked about Bruce Cassidy's radio on WEEI in Boston. And, Chris introduces a Dumpster Dive of the bottom four teams in the Pacific Division.
