Are Bryan and Bacon satisfied with the recent surge of production by Steven Stamkos after a slow start? Mathieu Joseph learns a tough early-career lesson from Milan Lucic.

Then, Bryan and Bacon remember the tenure of Joel Quenneville as Chicago Blackhawks Head Coach, along with comments from his former players.
