Description

Rob Pizzo from CBC Sports and Sara Civian, Jesse Granger and Julian McKenzie from the Athletic NHL discuss the NHL and Player Association's announcement that they have exercised the out clause for participating in the 2022 Winter Olympics. The roundtable tackles how the NHL will make up the postponed games, if we will see a World Cup in place of the Olympics, and what players we feel for, who may have lost their last chance to participate in an Olympic games. We also take a look at Paul Maurice's refreshing comments after he resigned as the head coach of the Winnipeg Jets.
Plus, we ask how you really feel about the NHL pulling out of the Olympics in our twitter segment as we wrap the show for the Christmas break.
