Pat and Charlie discuss Spencer Knight’s 21-save shutout in front of Team USA head coach Mike Sullivan and make the case for his inclusion on Team USA’s 2026 Olympic roster. They also highlight another multi-point performance from Connor Bedard and explain why he deserves a spot on Team Canada — plus where they’d slot him in the lineup.

The guys also debate the NHL’s hand-pass rule, weigh in on Sam Rinzel’s AHL assignment and why it was necessary, and look ahead to Patrick Kane’s pursuit of 500 career goals as he prepares to face Chicago on Saturday night at the United Center.
