Around the NHL with Elliotte Friedman: Whitecloud on Knies - Dirty or Clean?

Matt Marchese and Mike Futa review Zach Whitecloud's controversial hit on Matthew Knies before welcoming in 32 Thoughts' Elliotte Friedman.

Then, they get into Jim Montgomery's dismissal in Boston, the Bruins' identity moving forward and Brad Marchand's progress on his extension negotiations. Later, they chat about whether the Hurricanes will look for a trade with Frederik Andersen heading for surgery and where the Leafs fit into the selling side of the goalie market.
