The Latest on the Hockey Canada Investigation

There has been a lot of news around the hockey world this week but no story is bigger than the sexual assault case connected to the 2018 Team Canada World Junior Team. We finally got news this week from the London, Ontario Police and it came with a handful of NHLers taking leaves of absence. Frank and Jason began today’s podcast by talking about what’s going on and where things go from here.

The NHL did their best to bury the story by having Ryan Smith, the Owner of the Utah Jazz, release a statement that he is interested in bringing NHL hockey to Salt Lake City, Utah. Frank shared his disgust with the tactic and then gave some insight into the chances of Smith getting his wish and bringing a team to the state of Utah. Hint: he doesn’t think it will come via expansion.

They then got into some hockey talk. Nathan MacKinnon racked up four goals last night and continued his MVP-calibre season. Is he the clear-cut favourite for the Hart? The guys debated.

They also talked about the Oilers winning streak, Connor McDavid’s season, and the struggling LA Kings before bringing in Tyler for a new edition of Buy or Sell. He asked the guys about the chances of another coaching change and the Bruin's chances of winning the President’s Trophy again.
