Nathan MacKinnon shot some pucks in the OT session of the Canada / Sweden opening game of the 4 Nations Tournament, and some fans are not happy about that. Mostly Edmonton Oiler fans. We discuss why that's misguided.

We also discuss the viewership numbers for the game and how the league has to be happy about the early numbers.

Finally we give out three more "midseason" grades to Jonathan Drouin, Sammy G and Ivan Ivan!
