A (relatively) quick episode where we talk a bit about Vancouver's floundering (now officially floundered) playoff chances, the Hart Trophy, and the playoffs. No official predictions... yet.

It's the 20th anniversary of the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. Since there were no NHLers in the 2022 Beijing Olympics, we look back on the squad that Gretzky built in '02. We also discuss the continued success of Marie-Philip Poulin and the Canadian Women's team, coming off their fifth gold medal in seven Olympic tournaments.
We also provide the very definition of a layman take on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its ramifications on the hockey world.

The NHL has pulled out of the 2022 Winter Olympics and the World Juniors got cancelled, so we talk about that. We also talk a bit about the frigid Winter Classic, and how the Canucks and Oilers have swapped fortunes.

Content Warning: at roughly the 48:49 mark, we discuss the Blackhawks sexual assault scandal. If you feel that you can, we encourage you to listen to Rick Westhead's interview with Kyle Beach, and read the Jenner & Block report for a better understanding of the severity of this scandal.
Before that, we discuss the Canucks' brutal start to the year, the Oilers' terrific start to the year, Ovechkin's torrid goal pace, and the Eichel trade.

Despite the flat cap, a lot of money was tossed around this summer. We talk about that, and also briefly about how the Kraken had a seemingly underwhelming expansion draft (congrats in advance on winning the 2022 Stanley Cup).
We also discuss the NHL's decidedly predictable decision to put ads on jerseys, and how it is absolutely a sign of worse things to come, no matter what you might be telling yourself.

Patrick Marleau is the all time leader in NHL games played, and Alex Ovechkin has a very real opportunity to break Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record. Before we get into that, we talk a little bit about the floundering Blue Jackets in a quick league update.
