Will the recent news cycle affect Alex Ovechkin's legacy?, Kyle Davidson named Chicago Blackhawks GM, troubling games for the Toronto Maple Leafs

To kick off the show, the guys give an update on the search for the Las Vegas anthem singer. Then, with the current news cycle, will Alex Ovechkin's legacy be affected, and will fans be less interested in his quest to pass Gretzky? Also, the Blackhawks' GM search is over as they officially name Kyle Davidson to the position, how will he handle Kane and Toews' contracts moving forward? And a discussion about which game Maple Leafs fans should be more concerned about, the 10-7 win over Detroit, or the 5-1 to Buffalo, which leads to a Sean rant. 

In Granger Things, Jesse Granger takes a look at overseas betting odds for the upcoming trade deadline, a listener analyzes NHL parity in the mailbag, and in "This Week in Hockey History", the US wins Olympic gold in 1960.
