The guys are back for a Monday edition of the podcast. Jason and Frank started the show with a little bit of chatter about the crazy weather we’ve been getting across both Canada and the USA. They also talked a little bit about the NFL weekend courtesy of our friends at Betano.

From there, they talked about a pair of struggling teams in the Pacific Division. While the Oilers and Kraken have been red-hot, the Kings and Golden Knights have both continued to struggle along. They guys debated which one of those two teams should be more concerned with their recent play.

They then went out East and talked about the tumultuous weekend by the Toronto Maple Leafs. They had a couple of ugly losses over the last few days, which has led to Sheldon Keefe throwing his lines to a blender. They also have some decisions to make when it comes to their goaltending, which Jason and Frank talked about.

On Friday, we got news that the Chicago Blackhawks had signed Nick Foligno to a two-year deal worth a total of $9 million. The Hawks need to get to the cap floor and Foligno is reaping the benefits of that. The guys talked about that and a little about the Hawks rebuild before welcoming in Tyler for this week’s edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about Terry Ryan’s return to pro hockey, the Jack Adams race, and the All-Star jerseys. 

They wrapped up the show by talking about some mid-season awards races from around the league. Gregor also asked Frank about Steven Stamkos’ future in Tampa Bay.
