Maple Leafs take a PR hit, do we appreciate Crosby enough, and should the Hart Trophy be changed?

Maple Leafs take a PR hit, do we appreciate Crosby enough, and should the Hart Trophy be changed?

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Andrew Berkshire, Mary Clarke April 12, 2022 Duration: 47:34
Mary Clarke is away on vacation, so Locked on Canadiens' cohost Laura Saba joins the show to help Andrew Berkshire break down the NHL's events over the weekend. Auston Matthews hit 51 goals in 50 games, so you would assume that would be dominating the conversation when it comes to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but you'd be wrong, because the Maple Leafs kicked a young Canadiens fan out of the game it happened in because Nick Suzuki gave the kid a stick during warmup. After the Leafs embarrassed themselves with what we all hope was a case of bad miscommunication, Leafs fans went one step further by getting extremely upset that prospect Matthew Knies elected to go back to college instead of joining the Leafs on their playoff run. Is that fanbase okay? Sidney Crosby just hit 1400 points in his 1100th game, he has a very strong chance of scraping into the top-10 scorers all time by the end of his current contract. With the new hotness of Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews, are we underselling Sid the Kid these days? Finally, it's the time to talk about the Hart Trophy again, Should the award be changed to make voting easier? Who is the favourite? How should we determine 'Most valuable"?

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.
