The guys discuss Toronto’s five-game skid, Vancouver landing David Kämpf, Montreal’s search for a centre, and the heated moments involving Mark Scheifele and the Rangers–Red Wings finish. The episode closes with Hockey Canada’s Milan considerations and a Final Thought on the Stars’ Hall of Fame Weekend.
