Johnathan Huberdeau controversial Hart trophy credentials with Shayna Goldman, breaking down the Calgary Flames-Colorado Avalanche weekend tilt, Tim Peel goes off on Mark Scheifele, Multiple Choice Madness, and more

First, Ian and Hailey talk about the awesome clash of Stanley Cup contenders that took place over the weekend, with the Calgary Flames edging out the Colorado Avalanche 4-3 in overtime, and discuss how great a 7-game series between the two teams would be, and, in light of the Dallas Stars’ Jason Robertson’s back-to-back hat tricks, Ian poses the question: does the NHL need a Breakout Player of the Year award?

Then, The Athletic’s own Shayna Goldman joins the show to discuss Johnathan Huberdeau’s controversial Hart trophy bona fides, if the New York Rangers are truly a Stanley Cup contender or not, and Chris Kreider’s incredible goal-scoring pace, the Minnesota Wild’s rollercoaster season, Mark Scheifele’s potential value if the Winnipeg Jets were to place him on the trade block, and former NHL referee Tim Peel’s Twitter comments about the Jets center, a listener’s theory about most goalies being pretty similar, and if she could take over as GM of one of the currently rebuilding franchises like the New Jersey Devils, Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Red Wings, or Ottawa Senators, who would she chose?

Plus, to close things out, Ian and Hailey break down a couple of Multiple Choice Madness questions, including which NHLers amazing season should people be talking about more, and thoughts on the return of Reverse Retro jerseys next season.
