Trade dudline or best trade deadline ever?, the Calgary Flames could miss the playoffs, the Ottawa Senators could make the playoffs, Jon Cooper benches the Tampa Bay Lightning stars, and more

Ian and Julian are here for a brand new Monday episode of The Athletic Hockey Show to discuss which current NHLer could host SNL, their favorite trades from the 2023 NHL trade deadline, the Calgary Flames looking like they’re going to miss the playoffs while the Ottawa Senators have arrived as a playoff contender, Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper benching Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, and Braden Point for the third period of a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres Saturday night, Toronto Maple Leafs fans invading Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, and more.

Plus, the guys are willing to bet that the Boston Bruins will not make it to the Stanley Cup Final, and, to close things out, answer some listener questions, hand out the Jack Adams Winner of the Week award, and play a round of Multiple Choice Madness.
