In this weeks episode we look at the wild race for a wild card place in the Western Conference. Which is tougher, the Eastern or Western Conference?
As the league heads towards the trade deadline we take a look at who's going to be buying and who could be big sellers come February 25th.
Our fan this week is Georgie Hunt who is a Penguins fan based in Norwich (Which is 'officially' the city furthest away from an ice rink in the UK!). She also has a very cool story as to how she became a fan of this great league.
Clare took a week off this week so Steven Edwards rejoins Jolon Kemp Walker for your weekly dose of NHL Fans From Afar.
Oh and yes, it happened again.... hours after recording this podcast the Leafs make a signing! Auston Matthews is a Leaf for the next 5 seasons, but fear not this will just give Jolon a chance to calm down and compose himself ahead of next weeks pod!

- Slumps
Remember when Brad Marchand licked Leo Komarov? It was during another Boston Bruins/Toronto Maple Leafs playoff series that ended in heartache for blue and white fans... So this week Jolon and Clare did what they knew they had to do at some point this season - speak with Ross, a Bruins fan, and hear him wax lyrical about how much he loves Brad 'the pest' Marchand wearing his team's colours.
Also, is age just a number? Should you be worried if your team is in a slump right now? And what the hell is happening at Edmonton Oilers?!

- New Year, New Haircut
What happens when your record a podcast whilst an NHL game is live at 7pm UK time? This…
Jolon mostly cries, gets sent out the room because he refused to watch until he gets home later. Whilst Clare and Steve are forced to bite their lip every time they see a goal or penalty as the follow the action during recording.
With Steve sporting a new slimline haircut and Clare a new hair colour, it seems apt to call this episode New Year, New Haircut as even Toronto Maple Leafs’ William Nylander asked his auntie to give him a short back and sides over Christmas. And with new starts, we wipe the slate clean and dream big for year ahead…
We ponder our one wish for our teams for the remainder of the season, and question what the heck was going on with Dallas Stars after ‘that’ incident involving Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin over the holiday period. The Athletic's Sean Shapiro explains what it was like to get the call and be at that 25 minute press conference as Stars management went on an "expletive-laden tirade"...
Plus who are you sad to see left out of the All-Star line up, and why Steven wants the Washington Capitals’ player Tom Wilson to clean up his act or leave the NHL for good…
Presented by Clare Freeman, Jolon Kemp Walker and Steven Edwards. Produced by ASFB Productions.
