Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne catch up with MSG analyst Steve Valiquette (6:15), back for his regular appearance. The three discuss what's behind the Rangers' recent spiral, Thatcher Demko's mechanical change after his injury, Jakub Dobeš's near-flawless start in Montreal, the Capitals' 'Junior Hockey' culture and much more. Later, Nick and Justin regroup with Sam McKee to discuss parity in the Eastern Conference, the Blue Jackets' underrated progress and the World Junior gold-medal game ending in 3-on-3 OT.
