@hatetheleaguepod #HTL - #Devils + Kassian + Backstrom + Astros

In Period 1 of this week’s #HateTheLeague pod, @antxvx, @baltimorespatrickmartin and @metalcapsfan kick things off with some #MLB talk touching on the #Orioles and the sign stealing mayhem with the #Astros, then we get into the recent firing of New Jersey GM Shero and where the team goes from here which devolves into a (rather spirited) classic labor vs management discussion as viewed through the prism of professional hockey.

In Period 2, the #WheelOfJustice keeps on spinnin’ as we discuss some recent incidents including the #Oilers Kassian getting suspended for his actions vs the #Flames Tkachuk and the return of the #BattleOfAlberta which leads to a general debate about violence in hockey + altercations between the #Rangers #Avalanche and #NYR #Blues, we say “Greetings and salutations!” to our new found listeners in Canada, then some #Leafs talk detailing injury issues on the blue line + goalie upgrade at the #NHLTradeDeadline? + possible dissension in the locker room, and how Toronto might fare in the playoffs…

We begin the 3rd Period with a rundown of match-ups if the playoffs started today, then some #Capitals talk detailing their historic comeback win vs the #Sharks, Oshie making the #NHLAllStar roster, Samsonov standing tall between the pipes, the new Backstrom contract + what this means for Holtby’s chances of coming back to DC next season + the upcoming UFA goalie market, some yip-yap re: the #WJC win by the Canadians vs Russia, Kovalchuk making his mark with the #Habs, the #Bruins Marchand flubs it in the shootout vs the #Flyers, some promo for our various musical exploits + more! Cheers!
