The Hockey News/XM Home Ice 204 Podcast: Steven Stamkos, Dan Ellis twitter, Toronto and Ottawa playoff chances

Last week on The Hockey News Radio Show with Adam Proteau and Scott Laughlin on XM Satellite Radio Home Ice Channel 204: Adam and Scott return for another off-season edition of THN Radio from Toronto. In the opening block, Tampa Bay Lightning star Steven Stamkos joins the show and talks about the change in his organization since new owner Jeffrey Vinik and GM Steve Yzerman took over, the team’s new additions, off-season training, and the Dan Ellis/Twitter controversy. In the second segment, THN managing editor Edward Fraser calls in and breaks down the Lightning’s strengths and weaknesses, balancing a team’s salary cap needs for the present with its future requirements, and the process behind THN’s Yearbook predictions. In the last block, Ask Adam deals with the playoff potential of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators, why so many NHLers remain unsigned, and Dan Ellis’ “TwitterGate”.
