Nick, Mack, and Tyler are back together for episode 13 of The Hockey Collective Show. The guys discuss Ovi's 800th goal, the Chara vs Bieksa drama, Torts scratching Hayes, the proposed 84 game regular season, and many more topics through the league.

Nick, Mack, and Tyler recap a handful of milestones from around the league this past week, and then dive into various rules that we hate, we want changed, or we want to see added.

The guys reflect on all 32 teams around the league, as 87.5% of teams in Playoff spots on American Thanksgiving typically end up making the Playoffs.  

The Metro is hectic, the Atlantic is deep, the Central has some surprises, and the Pacific has been awful. Find out what Nick, Mack, and Tyler think needs to change on each team.

In this week's episode of The Hockey Collective Show, Nick, Mack, and Tyler discuss if the Bolts and Blues are really back, how the Huberdeau/Weegar/Tkachuk trade looks, and how good the Stars have been.
