First, Hailey and guest cohost Sean Gentille discuss the continued fallout from the Jenner & Block report and the Chicago Blackhawks sexual assault case, including Brad Aldrich joining USA Hockey as a video coach just five months after leaving the Blackhawks, Donald Fehr’s failure to protect Kyle Beach as NHLPA executive director, Alex DeBrincat’s take on the situation, and much more.
Then, they talk about Sidney Crosby’s rough return to the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup after offseason wrist surgery, with Sean in attendance for only the second time in nearly two years, what’s causing the uptick in COVID-19 cases throughout the league, Sean throws Dom Luszczyszyn under the bus in discussing their NHL power rankings from last week when Dom implied the 6-1-1 Calgary Flames are a boring team.
