20 Minutes On Ice

Referee Tim Peel got caught making a “make-up call” on a hot mic during an NHL game last week between the Predators and Red Wings. He will no longer referee in the NHL because he has compromised the integrity of the game. Nick & Ryan discuss the league’s punishment and what drove it to this point.

The Canadian government has given approval to decrease the length of the quarantine period for players traded to Canadian teams from the US, from 14 days down to 7. How will this affect trades leading up to the April 12th Trade Deadline?
