David Ayres beating the Maple Leafs is the story of the season so far and Elliotte takes listeners behind the scenes of Hockey Night in Canada as the saga unfolded. Jeff geeks out on the history of emergency backup goalies and the guys discuss the EBUG policy in general. They are also joined by Sarah Ayres, who live tweeted her husband’s appearance from the stands and has been caught up in a whirlwind of memorable moments since. 

But that’s not all — there was a trade deadline this week, too! And the guys parse through the moves that were made, moves hoped for that didn’t happen (Thornton, Parise, Ladd) and what it all means.
