Description
Ian and Sean return to discuss Sean's piece on the NHL's most likeable players, and the reaction to his inclusion of Claude Giroux and Sidney Crosby. Also, an unhinged Kings-Kraken game, Pat Maroon channels Jack Edward's comments into a positive, and Alex Ovechkin breaks Wayne Gretzky's road goal record.
Then, in "Granger Things" resident goalie Jesse Granger discusses that whole Matt Murray net thing, and Connor Hellebuyck not getting a whistle when his mask came off. To wrap up, a preseason take comes back to haunt somebody in the mailbag, and it's all wrapped up with "This Week in Hockey History".
