Wayne Gretzky called to tell Tyson Nash he'd just been traded to the Coyotes, and Nash hung up on him. Years later, Gretzky was the coach who had to send him down. Mammoth TV analyst and NashCast host Tyson Nash joins Jay Stevens the night before opening night: the Kamloops dynasty, being told to become the most hated player in the NHL, how NashCast was born after a round of golf, and his call on the Mammoth this season.
