In addition, he touched on the Colorado Avalanche's chances to repeat as Stanley Cup champions, reasons why he's concerned with the Carolina Hurricanes, the cross-river rivalry matchup between the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers, and Jonathan Toews' emotional sendoff in Chicago on Thursday. Rosen and Roarke also talked about the changes in Pittsburgh and Anaheim that were announced Friday morning and the impact they will have.
