From Tambellini to Tavares

Saturday's episode of Hockey Night on Long Island was one that went off in some very interesting directions that nobody expected. Hosts Alex and Steve, along with special guest Tom Mascioli, discussed everything from John Tavares being traded to Jeff Tambellini scoring his first goal of the season, to the NHL All-Star rosters and everything in between. Additionally, the trio was joined by Adam Sherlip of The Hockey Volunteer to discuss his mission to spread hockey to children around the world and his prior involvement wit the Islanders' Project Hope. Also, the guys went deep into bonus coverage to make their picks for the NFL divisional playoff matchups and discuss the Brendan Shannahan news.
