Ian and Sean overcome a late night to discuss Team Canada's win in the women's gold medal game over the U.S., and Marie-Philip Poulin cementing her spot as the most clutch player ever in hockey. Then, with Patrice Bergeron set to return to action on Thursday, between him, Claude Giroux and Evgeni Malkin, who is the most intriguing UFA? Also, as Sidney Crosby scores his 500th goal, how long will he play in the NHL?
Next, in "Granger Things" Jesse Granger walks us through the laundry list of Golden Knights storylines this week, from Jack Eichel's debut on Wednesday night, to Mark Stone on LTIR, a Nolan Patrick update, and is there anything to that Marc-André Fleury rumor?
Then, a discussion on if a beer league goalie could have a .500 save percentage in an NHL game, a question about tracking game winning goals as a stat in the mailbag, and in "This Week in Hockey History", Georges Vezina records the first shutout in NHL history.
