This week's Thursday show kicks off with a discussion about Phil Kessel skating one shift Tuesday night before leaving for the birth of his child. Was this way to keep his ironman streak alive underhanded? Sean vehemently defends Kessel's honor. Next, Michael Bunting currently leads rookies in scoring, but does being on a line with Matthews and Marner hurt his Calder chances? Then the guys discuss if New Jersey would actually terminate P.K. Subban's contract to allow him to sign with a Cup contender, Wayne Gretzky will be an analyst for the broadcast for the outdoor game between Toronto and Buffalo, and Sean's goalie quiz.
In the listener mailbag, the guys discuss if Duncan Keith is a first-ballot HOFer and if Jaromir Jagr is overlooked as a GOAT, and they wrap up with a little "This Week in Hockey History".
