Well, the thing we all knew was going to happen but then convinced ourselves might not actually happen finally happened … and we’re sad. We say goodbye to Jake and ponder who will fill the hole left in our (and Mo’s) hearts.

We also discuss the mysterious world of load management, Auston v. the media’s dumb narratives, #NHLSoapOperaChallenge, and give an update on the PWHPA’s Dream Gap Tour.

Plus, we take a look at some hockey HR complaints in the making with “Ask a Manager: NHL Edition.”
