The Hockey Writers Melissa Boyd, Hannah Garfield, and Mariah Stark discuss Ben Bishop's emotional retirement announcement, how recent COVID-19 outbreaks across the NHL might impact the rest of the season and the players' participation in the Olympics.
To celebrate the holidays, they also share their Christmas wish lists for both the NHL and their respective teams: the Boston Bruins, Minnesota Wild, and Montreal Canadiens.
Our Chicks & Sticks crew are great writers, too: Melissa Boyd - Hannah Garfield - Mariah Holland - Kristy Flannery
