Why the Thanksgiving Playoff Cutoff Doesn’t Apply This Year — with Tyler Toffoli
Description
On this week’s episode of Energy Line with Nate and JSB, we kick things off with the unofficial Thanksgiving benchmark for NHL playoff contenders—and why this season might finally break the rule. Then we dig into Mikko Rantanen’s run of borderline hits and what’s going on with his game.
Next, Sharks forward Tyler Toffoli joins the show to talk about playing alongside the insanely talented Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, living with Michael Misa, his reaction to Anze Kopitar’s retirement, thoughts on life after hockey, and his long-time love for former teammate Jonathan Quick. He also tells us about the massive Thanksgiving he’s hosting for the Sharks—52 people!
Finally, Nate and Julie wrap things up with some thoughts on autograph hounds after a Connor Bedard signing video sparked online debate, plus a look at Jack Hughes’ dinner with pop star Tate McRae.
Enjoy, and we’ll see you back here next week for more Energy Line.
