First, Ian, Hailey, and guest cohost Max Bultman discuss the Detroit Red Wings giving up eleven goals in an ugly 11-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday night, the Calgary Flames downing the Edmonton Oilers 9-5 on Saturday in the latest edition of the Battle of Alberta, Johnny Gaudreau making a case for the Hart trophy, playing great hockey on both sides of the puck on a very good Flames team, Moritz Seider’s incredible rookie season in a potential Calder trophy-winning campaign on the Red Wings blue line, and whether LA Kings head coach Todd McLellan deserves more consideration for the Jack Adams trophy this season or not.Then, in light of the annual NHL general manager meetings starting up this week, the group gives their thoughts on a possible extension of the salary cap into the playoffs, ostensibly to prevent teams from abusing the longterm injured reserve system, creating a way for teams to trade dead cap space, and centralization of the no-trade clause system to avoid embarrassing situations like the one involving Evgenii Dadonov, the Vegas Golden Knights, and the Ottawa Senators at this year’s trade deadline.Plus, Ian and Hailey close things out with a single Multiple Choice Madness question regarding the Toronto Maple Leafs and the possibility of another painful first round playoff exit.And, right now, you can get a 6 month subscription to The Athletic for just $1 a month when you visit http://theathletic.com/hockeyshow Hosted on Acast.
