Listen Later

After a week away, the boys are back with a real beau­ty of an episode — you might say we real­ly nailed this one! That’s right we’re yakking about one of the biggest draft busts of all time, #64 Nail Yakapov! He may have went first over­all in 2012, but he was out of the league 6 years lat­er after bounc­ing from the Oil­ers to the Blues and final­ly to the Avs. He returned to moth­er Rus­sia and have carved him­self out a nice career, still play­ing today…

And speak­ing of Russ­ian play­ers who have done okay for them­selves, we talk exten­sive­ly about the Great 8 — the NHL’s new all time lead­ing goal scor­er, Alex Ovechkin! Ol’ Ovi tied Wayn­er’s long­stand­ing accom­plish­ment with 2 against the Black­hawks, and then scored num­ber 895 in a loss against the Islanders while we recorded.

Final­ly, we’ve got a trio of stat lines of the week, plus we talk about oth­er records that might nev­er be broken.
