It’s an all news edition of the podcast, the guys started off by taking a look at the latest chapter which is the Vancouver Canucks soap opera. Oliver Ekman-Larsson was made a healthy scratch this week and the team continued struggling their way through the 2022-23 season. Are changes coming? Is there even anything management can even do to turn this around right now? Frank and Jason gave their thoughts.

From there, they hit on the struggling Colorado Avalanche, who lost to the Chicago Blackhawks last night. It’s starting to get late early for the Avs who still find themselves on the outside looking in when it comes to the Western Conference playoff picture. That led to some talk about other teams around the Avs like the Oilers, Flames, Blues, and Predators. They also talked about what the Seattle Kraken could look to do at the deadline. They wrapped up the show with some talk about the Winnipeg Jets, who are coming off a win and have first place in the Central Division firmly in their sights.
