The Athletic Hockey Show1 Marras 2021

Jenner & Block-Chicago Blackhawks fallout, Sidney Crosby’s rough return, are the Calgary Flames boring?, Detroit Red Wings deep dive with Max Bultman, listener questions in the Hailbag, and more

First, Hailey and guest cohost Sean Gentille discuss the continued fallout from the Jenner & Block report and the Chicago Blackhawks sexual assault case, including Brad Aldrich joining USA Hockey as a video coach just five months after leaving the Blackhawks, Donald Fehr’s failure to protect Kyle Beach as NHLPA executive director, Alex DeBrincat’s take on the situation, and much more.

Then, they talk about Sidney Crosby’s rough return to the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup after offseason wrist surgery, with Sean in attendance for only the second time in nearly two years, what’s causing the uptick in COVID-19 cases throughout the league, Sean throws Dom Luszczyszyn under the bus in discussing their NHL power rankings from last week when Dom implied the 6-1-1 Calgary Flames are a boring team.

Next, The Athletic’s Max Bultman joins the show to talk about the perhaps unexpectedly nice start to the season for the Detroit Red Wings, Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond establishing themselves early on as legitimate high-end NHL prospects, Dylan Larkin playing some of the best hockey of his career right now, how Tyler Bertuzzi’s decision to remain unvaccinated will impact him and the team longterm, if Wings legend Henrik Zetterberg is a Hall of Famer or not, and much more.

Plus, to close things out, Hailey and Sean open up the Hailbag and answer questions about Ian’s whereabouts, why NHL teams fudge the official heights and weights of their players, and more.
