Team Canada’s Natalie Spooner calls in, the future of the Arizona Coyotes with Katie Strang, Jack Eichel and the “unamused face” emoji tweet, Multiple Choice Madness, and more

First, Ian and Hailey talk about Jack Eichel’s “unamused face” emoji tweet from late last week, which set off yet another whirlwind of speculation about a potential trade out of Buffalo.

Then, Team Canada’s Natalie Spooner calls in to discuss the first week of IIHF Women's World Championships in Calgary, how the last two years have felt like “the longest offseason of training ever”, Thursday’s rivalry game against Team USA, the importance of the PWHPA, and much more.

Next, The Athletic’s own Katie Strang joins the show to give an update on the future of the Arizona Coyotes after the City of Glendale informed the franchise it will opt out of its joint lease agreement for Gila River Arena following the 2021-22 season, how unique this situation is in professional sports, the financial health of the Coyotes organization, what would have to happen for hockey to truly thrive in the desert, and much more.

Plus, to close things out, Ian and Hailey play a round of Multiple Choice Madness about where the Coyotes will be playing five years, if the Flames should be allowed to call Nikita Zadorov “Big Z”, the best goalie to never win a Stanley Cup, and which team improved their Stanley Cup odds the most this offseason.
