Habs, Oilers make head coaching changes and Olympic hockey ramps up with playoff round

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Andrew Berkshire, Mary Clarke February 11, 2022 Duration: 1:00:07
On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke continue to weather their busy schedules amidst a hectic week in hockey! The Montreal Canadiens axed Dominique Ducharme and have brought in Martin St. Louis as their new head coach, hopefully bringing about a new era of change for a stagnant team. The Beijing Olympics continue apace with the women’s tournament in its playoff rounds after Canada bested the United States 4-2 in the round robin. While the Canadian women are on cruise control, the United States women are having a bit more trouble, only barely just getting past Czechia in the quarterfinals after a stellar performance by their goaltender Klara Peslarova. Also, the Edmonton Oilers fired head coach Dave Tippett as the team skids out of playoff contention. Tippett, however, is seemingly the fall guy for general manger Ken Holland, whose mismanagement of the Oilers assets continues to harm Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Finally, Andrew and Mary end Friday’s show with more Star Wars talk with major The Book of Boba Fett spoilers! 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.
