Inside the Nation: Goalies, Third line, and a Capitals player

Nov 5, 2018, 17:03 ESTUpdated: Nov 5, 2018, 17:06 EST
Another Monday is upon us and that means we have another episode of Inside the Nation. Dustin comes in rocking an Edmonton Capitals hoodie or bunny hug (depending on where you’re tuning in from across this great country of ours) so you know this November 5th episode is going to be good.
This week starts with a little lineup positioning talk. Will they change? Won’t they? Is it worth changing? Dusty has a couple of thoughts about it. He hints at some time for younger players in the AHL.
The enigma Ryan Strome is discussed while Dusty’s hands disappear from view. Who does he blame for the struggles on that third line? He suggests one of them “fakes an injury for a week”.
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
“Where does Evgeny Kuznetsov rank in the top players in the NHL?”
What to know what he says? I guess you’re just going to have to find out.
Watch the full video below!
