Rocky Wirtz's outburst at Blackhawks' town hall meeting goes viral, NHL All-Star Weekend, and discussing the New York Islanders' season

Ian and Sean discuss the town hall meeting the Chicago Blackhawks held on Wednesday evening, and the comments made by Rocky Wirtz that went viral. Also, with the All-Star Game happening this weekend, it usually comes with a Gary Bettman appearance. Will he address what happened?

Moving onto discussing the weekend itself, the guys discuss the addition of the "Blackjack" game, and if Las Vegas should permanently be the home of the ASG. Sean lays out why he thinks the All-Star Game is unwatchable, and they wonder if maybe a tweak to what day it falls on may help in the future.

To wrap up, in the mailbag, the pair field a call about the Islanders' season, and in "This Week in Hockey History", an odd trend that seems to occur on February 2nd.
