The NHL is at a crossroads. Head injury information is more well-known than ever, yet late and dangerous hits persist in the game. Conversely, even when a clean hit is thrown it seems a fight must take place, and sometimes a star player like Nathan MacKinnon misses time because he felt compelled to answer the bell. Tom Callahan (@CallahanOnAir) and Mike Haynes (@busterthedog33) try to sort out some difficult questions, and Mike gives us insight into one of the greatest pests of all time, Claude Lemieux. 

Having one old goalie in Tom Callahan, and the dad of a current goalie in Mike Haynes, the guys feel compelled to leave the beaten path this episode and talk about one of the quirkiest positions in all sports. From the psychological difference between a shootout or an overtime loss to just what compels someone to don the pads in the first place, it's a fun conversation to switch things up.

They just couldn't help but take one more look back at the NHL Trade Deadline. Tom Callahan (@CallahanOnAir) and Mike Haynes (@busterthedog33) uncover more than a few insights looking back at the deals made... and even those not made.

The NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone, and veteran NHL voices Mike Haynes (@busterthedog33) and Tom Callahan (@CallahanOnAir) give you the breakdown of winners, losers and everything in between. If you missed the show live Monday night, this is the complete replay as a podcast.

The NHL Trade Deadline might be March 21 but that's not stopping teams like Florida, Colorado, Calgary and more from getting a jump on the competition. Tom Callahan (@CallahanOnAir) takes a look at the moves that have already been made and gives you his top five trade targets at all positions.

This year's Western Conference NHL Wild Card race could be the best we've seen in a long time, thanks to tremendous parity and teams that fail to separate themselves from the pack on a regular basis.

The Chicago Blackhawks GM search has resulted in the interim tag being removed from Kyle Davidson. Now what? The Hawks face a long road back to prosperity, and it starts with Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews.

There are plenty of familiar names atop the NHL scoring race this season, but some surprises as well. Chris Kreider and Jonathan Huberdeau are having career years, but can they keep it up long enough to upset behemoths like Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Alexander Ovechkin?

It's a busy week in hockey as Jack Eichel returns in Vegas, Evander Kane goes back to San Jose, and the Calgary Flames grab Tyler Toffoli in an early trade with the Montreal Canadiens. Tom Callahan (@CallahanOnAir) and Mike Haynes (@busterthedog33) break it down for you.

This week's show is taped early because of that football game. Both the Montreal Canadiens and Edmonton Oilers fired their coaches while the St. Louis Blues extended theirs. Tuukka Rask retires, Brad Marchand suspended, Vegas might not need to make a trade after all and more. Join Tom Callahan (@CallahanOnAir) and Mike Haynes (@busterthedog33) on the podcast version of this week's Talking Puck TV show.
