Then, the guys dive into the men's team news including a recent 5-1 exhibition victory against Simon Fraser where Jamie Armstrong picked up his first for the Eagles. Also, the four discuss USA's miraculous gold-medal performance at the World Junior Tournament, where seven BC players helped the US over the hump, giving the USA their sixth gold medal. Finally, the group engages in some trade talk, discussing Cutter Gauthier's recent move to the Anaheim Ducks and what impact it will have on the NHL landscape going forward.
