Tappen, Demers Break Down the Night on NHL Tonight

NHL Tonight puts Kathryn Tappen and Jason Demers on the same ice, which usually means you get the kind of straight talk fans wish came with every broadcast. The setup suggests a sharp mix of analysis and perspective, with Demers likely bringing the player’s eye and Tappen steering the conversation like she has seen every kind of dressing-room weather. This is the kind of segment that tends to surface the stuff behind the box score, not just the pretty highlights.
