Paul Maurice resigns as Winnipeg Jets head coach, NHL Olympic participation on thin ice, Multiple Choice Madness, and more

First, Ian and Hailey are joined by The Athletic’s own Murat Ates to talk about Paul Maurice’s surprising resignation as head coach of the Winnipeg Jets and discuss whether this kind of amicable split could become a template for other coaches around the league, what’s next for the Jets with Dave Lowry behind the bench, Mark Scheifele’s defensive lapses, whether an all-Canadian division could make a return or not, and Murat shares a great Paul Maurice anecdote.

Then, Ian and Hailey discuss the NHL’s increasingly unlikely participation in the Olympics as more games get postponed amidst a resurgence of positive COVID-19 tests around the league, if the NHL will make exceptions for players like Alex Ovechkin and Steven Stamkos who still might want to play in Beijing, if now’s the time to let World Junior players take over, how the women’s national teams could be impacted by all of this, and more.

Plus, they close things out with a couple of end-of-year questions in Multiple Choice Madness, including what was hockey’s biggest non-COVID-19 story in 2021 and who earned Villain of the Year honors.
