Does Something Need to Give in Columbus?

Jeff and Elliotte dive into the benching of Patrik Laine by Pascal Vincent and the Columbus Blue Jackets. Elliotte talks about the issues he has with the decision, and they debate whether Columbus is putting Laine in the best position to succeed. They also talk about the potential impact this is having on star prospect Adam Fantilli (15:07). Jeff and Elliotte move on to the thriving Philadelphia Flyers, and Elliotte highlights how important Philadelphia is to the NHL (21:00). Elliotte also provides some World Cup of Hockey (30:07) and 2024 NHL All Star Game (33:00) updates. The guys then dive into the Edmonton Oilers' hunt for a goaltender (40:10) and wrap the pod by discussing the success of the NHL's Global Series in Stockholm (1:04:44). 

The guys answer your questions and Jeff has a mind blowing story in the Montana’s Thought Line (58:12).
