Episode 49: An Unquenchable Bloodlust

After having had a few days to process the career milestone that Alex Ovechkin reached over the weekend, we spin it forward by looking at his career as a goal scorer in the macro sense. By the time he's done how high up the all-time list will he have climbed, and will he have a legitimate case for being considered the best to ever do it when adjusting for different eras?

We also discuss the curious decision by the Vancouver Canucks to publicly announce that they're looking to trade Chris Higgins, the interesting 48 hours the Florida Panthers just had, and why retaliatory hits need to stop being a thing.

Plus, as promised last week we adopt the Boston Bruins.
