Rob Pizzo from CBC Sports is joined by Jesse Granger from the Athletic NHL, with Sara Civian on assignment this week. The boys discuss the Edmonton Oilers interest in Evander Kane, the job Ken Holland has done constructing that team, Bobby Clarke's harsh criticism of Ron Hextall taking Nolan Patrick ahead of Cale Makar in 2017 and Jack Eichel's first practice with the Vegas Golden Knights.
Julian McKenzie, associate editor for the Athletic NHL joins Rob and Jesse and adds his two cents on John Klingberg's contract demands in Dallas, Marc Bergevin joining the Los Angeles Kings front office and he provides an update on the Montreal Canadiens General Manager search.
The guys also discuss if Canadian teams are putting themselves in jeopardy to qualify for a playoff spot by postponing games until capacity limits are lifted in Canada and they praise the powerful Hockey Diversity ad which came out last week as we continue to fight racism in hockey.
Finally, Jesse profiles his in-depth column on Robin Lehner helping others who suffer from mental health, and Rob and Jesse talk about rapper Kodak Black's antics last night at the Canucks/Panthers game which broke hockey twitter on Tuesday evening.
