January 12, 2023Zone Time: What if Connor McDavid can't change Oilers' destiny?
Connor McDavid is on pace to be the first player with a 150-point season since Mario Lemieux tallied 161 in 1995-96 but the overall flawed Edmonton Oilers also look destined to miss the playoffs.

Meanwhile, at the midway point of the 2022-23 NHL season, the Boston Bruins lead the list of Stanley Cup contenders with 68 points through 40 games. Remarkably, the Bruins are still icing multiple players from their 2011 championship team.

On this week's episode, Julian and the crew also discuss:
Why the Florida Panthers are the biggest disappointment at the half
The need for a new NHL All-Star format
Best and worst goal songs
