First, Ian, Hailey, and guest cohost Dom Luszczyszyn, talk about the weirdest or saddest things to do when on a roadtrip alone, and then discuss whether the Vancouver Canucks can make the playoffs with the “Bruce Boudreau Effect” in full effect, the Minnesota Wild and Nashville Predators sitting 1-2 in the Central division standings, where things have gone wrong for the New York Islanders so far, if there needs to be a change in checking rules after a few huge, technically clean hits resulted in bad injuries over the last week or so, how Dom and Sean Gentille create their power rankings, and more.

Then, the group answers listener questions including if the Anaheim Ducks are for real, whether Matthew or Brady Tkachuk is the better player right now, and if the Ottawa Senators top line can turn into one of the best in the league, biggest national team snubs, and favorite Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavors.

Plus, to close things out, Ian, Hailey, and Dom run through a series of Multiple Choice Madness questions about which John Tortorella comment from his time at ESPN so far was most bothersome, if the 8 current Eastern Conference playoff teams are locks to make the playoffs, and if the group will give Bobby Orr a follow on Twitter after the NHL legend joined social media over the weekend.
