  • EP 21 - Flames PPD, Torts at it again + ice cream!

    Start your week off with another busy edition of the podcast as Steve and Craig talk World Juniors, Calgary Flames, Olympics, John Tortorella and the Vancouver Canucks 4-0 under Bruce Boudreau.


    We start where Craig was, at Team Canada's World Junior camp as Connor Bedard became the the first 16-year-old to make the 25-player roster since Connor McDavid.


    With the NHL announcing Monday that the Calgary Flames games will be postponed at least through December 16th, we discuss why and what it means for the Olympics.


    And with another John Tortorella hot take, this time on the Zegras-Milano Michigan pass goal, we discuss and debate how Torts can say what he wants even if he's wrong but we still want examples!
