Episode Notes

As the saying goes, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, and in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, Max and Jesse make their picks for the luckiest teams in the NHL this season. Plus, The Athletic’s own Sean McIndoe joins the show to discuss Auston Matthews sustaining a season-ending injury following a Radko Gudas-induced knee-on-knee hit last week, Gudas’ subsequent five game suspension, and if the Maple Leafs should launch a full-scale rebuild this coming offseason. And, to close things out, the guys deep dive into Jesse’s NHL goalie tandem power rankings 2.0.


Hosts: Max Bultman and Jesse Granger
