Jarome Iginla to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Torts on Connor McDavid, Aaron Portzline talks Columbus Blue Jackets, Multiple Choice Madness, and more

81 min • 15 november 2021

First, Ian and Hailey talk about Hailey’s first trip back to Ottawa after leaving to cover the Calgary Flames, Ian taking Hailey for a cup of less-than-Starbucks coffee, Hailey’s great piece on Jarome Iginla’s Hall of Fame career, in 20 stories not often told, The Athletic’s 2021 Hockey Hall of Fame committee selections, John Tortorella’s comments about Connor McDavid, and more.


Then, The Athletic’s own Aaron Portzline joins the show from Nationwide Arena to discuss the Columbus Blue Jackets’ surprising start to the season, how the Seth Jones trade feels around the organization now, Cole Sillinger’s stabilizing presence on the team, how the post-John Tortorella era has been so far, Patrik Laine’s resurgence, Rick Nash’s upcoming jersey retirement, and more.


Plus, to close things out, Ian and Hailey run through a series of Multiple Choice Madness questions including who’s the best modern day player to never win a Stanley Cup, if the Arizona Coyotes are going to be the worst team ever in the salary cap era, and which is the most interesting team in the Pacific division.
