Jeff and Elliotte open the podcast by giving Sidney Crosby his flowers for an outstanding effort to beat out an icing call on Thursday night. For another week in a row, some big hits and questionable calls earn the spotlight on the podcast as Jeff and Elliotte try to diagnose what the NHL should do (11:34). They get into the discourse around DJ Smith in Ottawa and Tim Stutzle's comments on his former coach (23:37) and Elliotte talks about Andrei Kuzmenko getting scratched again by Rick Tocchet (29:12). The guys also dive into the latest details surrounding William Nylander's pending contract extension with Toronto (33:09) and talk about the state of the NHL's All-Star Game (43:20). Jeff and Elliotte wrap the podcast by revisiting the discussion on the Wednesday Night Hockey panel (1:14:41).

The guys answer your questions in the Montana’s Thought Line (51:41).
