Pierre explains why Anaheim was always going to match Philadelphia’s offer, how escalating salaries could divide the league into haves and have-nots, and why the NHL should consider its own version of the NBA’s “Larry Bird exception.” The conversation also explores Alex Ovechkin’s decision to continue playing, his decades-long rivalry with Sidney Crosby, and why Washington believes it still has another Stanley Cup run ahead. Pierre also shares what NHL players endure during offseason training and explains why Jay’s work ethic helped make him a champion. Plus, Larry and Jay discuss the Pirates’ momentum entering the second half, pitchers being denied opportunities to chase history, the disappearance of traditional doubleheaders, the British Open and a controversial decision involving the names engraved on the Stanley Cup.
