Mark Madden joins me for “Madden Madden” a day late after the Memorial Day holiday.

We debate that failed trade of Phil Kessel to the Wild. Mark and I have differing views on that front. I’m not opposed to a deal involving Kessel. But I’m down on the structure of the swap that would’ve sent the winger out to Minnesota. Mark seems to have been much more in favor of it.


LISTEN: Debating the failed Phil Kessel trade, Pirates, Joey Porter

Also, while discussing hockey, we take a look at Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final and the notion of expanding the NHL replay system.

Joey Porter is the latest current or former Steeler to pop off about Ben Roethlisberger. Mark doesn’t like what he has to say.

Regarding the Pirates, we discuss Mitch Keller’s debut against the Reds, and the woes of the pitching staff of late.

Also, we recap Mark’s trip to Las Vegas for the Starrcast Wrestling event.
