Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Andrew Berkshire, Mary Clarke February 22, 2022 Duration: 51:04
On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL show, Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke say their goodbyes to the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Finland caps off a great Olympic showing by slaying the Russian Olympic Committee dragon and calming their first men’s hockey gold in country history. As for the NHL, Cole Caufield of the Montreal Canadiens has had a resurgence since Martin St. Louis took over as head coach. Though the Canadiens are done and dusted for the season, the team’s improvement in morale is a great stepping stone for the future of this team. Plus, the NHL trade deadline is approaching and the Toronto Maple Leafs made the latest notable trade, shipping Nick Ritchie to the Arizona Coyotes for Ryan Dzingel and Ilya Lyubushkin. What is Kyle Dubas’s next move ahead of a grueling playoff for the Maple Leafs? Finally, Andrew and Mary cap off the show with their pop culture roulette. Mary raves about her first few days with Horizon Forbidden West while Andrew discusses the opening episodes of Last One Laughing, featuring friend of the show Jay Baruchel! Andrew and Mary also shout out the GoFundMe for former Canadien and Flyer Ryan White and his wife, who are going through an unimaginable family situation. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Tune in twice a week for The Cross-Check NHL Show, where hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke bring their distinct perspectives as NHL writers to the forefront. This isn't just a recap of last night's scores; it's a deep, analytical dive into the stories that are actually shaping the league. Every Tuesday, they take the week's most talked-about narratives-whether it's a surprising trade rumor, a team's sudden slump, or a player's breakout performance-and hold them up to the light. They cross-check popular opinion against their own sharp observations from watching the games and, crucially, against what the underlying statistics reveal. You'll hear conversations that move beyond hot takes to find the substance underneath. Then, on Thursdays, the scope widens with insightful interviews. Andrew and Mary are joined by a rotating roster of special guests, from analysts and insiders to former players, who are among the smartest minds in hockey. These discussions provide even greater context and expertise on the evolving landscape of the sport. Produced as part of the Locked On Podcast Network, this podcast is for fans who crave a more thoughtful and nuanced understanding of the NHL, where instinct meets evidence in every episode.
