Around the NHL with Elliotte Friedman: Canucks Drama Intensifies + Winter Classic Recap

Matt Marchese and Mike Futa are joined by Elliotte Friedman from 32 Thoughts the Podcast to discuss the Winter Classic, including how the game itself was a letdown, the Chicago Blackhawks being blown out at home, the St. Louis Blues turnaround, whether Jim Montgomery has changed the culture, the Vancouver Canucks injury bug, and the possibility of Elias Pettersson or JT Miller being traded. Next, the three discuss whether the Montreal Canadiens can make the playoffs, Gabriel Landeskog's likely return date, and how that will influence the Colorado Avalanche. Finally, they discuss Auston Matthews' injuries and whether he can compete in the 4 Nations tournament.
