First, Ian and guest cohost Julian McKenzie talk about Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk joining a kids street hockey game on his way home from a matinee matchup against the Detroit Red Wings, Julian shares a number of run-ins he’s had with hockey players over the years, Ian shares listeners’ personal anecdotes from Twitter, and the guys discuss Keith Yandle being a healthy scratch for the Philadelphia Flyers over the weekend, ending his NHL-record ironman streak at 989 games.
Then, The Athletic’s own Eric Stephens joins the show to discuss Arizona Coyotes forward Jay Beagle beating up Anaheim Ducks forward Troy Terry in retaliation for his teammate Trevor Zegras scoring another “Michigan” goal, Coyotes commentator Tyson Nash’s comments about young players “skilling it up” and deserving to get “punched in the face” for it, Pat Verbeek’s first trade deadline as Ducks GM, Ryan Getzlaf’s future in SoCal, and more.
Plus, Ian and Julian try to think of the most memorable 50th goal of the season they can remember, and to close things out in Multiple Choice Madness, Ian poses the question: should the NHL try out experimental rules during meaningless games at the end of the regular season?
