First, Hailey bids farewell to The Athletic Hockey Show for the duration of the Olympics, as she’ll be covering the games on a daily show for the CBC, and then she and Ian discuss Claude Julien being replaced by Jeremy Colliton as head coach of Team Canada after Julien took a fall during the team’s training camp and fractured his ribs, leaving him unable to make the flight to Beijing.
Then, Team Canada’s GM for the Beijing Olympics, Shane Doan, joins the show from Davos, Switzerland to discuss how the team’s training camp there is going so far, the value of having Stanley Cup champion and Olympic veteran Eric Staal on the roster, why he’s such a big fan of Owen Power, lessons learned from the 2018 games, and much more.
Plus, thoughts on Evander Kane scoring a goal in his Edmonton Oilers debut over the weekend, the truly terrible year the Montreal Canadiens are having, and a quick round of Multiple Choice Madness about which Trevor Zegras highlight from this season has been the most impressive so far.
