Maple Leafs hit a wall, Claude Giroux's last weeks as a Flyer, & there's an outdoor game this week?

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Andrew Berkshire, Mary Clarke February 25, 2022 Duration: 48:13
Despite a fantastic season overall, the Toronto Maple Leafs have finally done what they always do, which is completely shatter the confidence of their fanbase in one fell swoop. Over the course of two days, the Leafs lost games to the last two teams to eliminate them in the playoffs in the Montreal Canadiens and Columbus Blue Jackets, the second of which happened on the second anniversary of the David Ayers game. Could you script it better? The Leafs are always the main character. Andrew and Mary then practice some therapy over the impending trade of Claude Giroux, who has been everything to the Philadelphia Flyers and more. What will be his legacy? Andrew suggests it will be similar to that of Saku Koivu. Finally, the hosts take a look at the upcoming outdoor game in Nashville between the Predators and Tampa Bay Lightning.

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.
