The Department of Player Safety sucks, rebuilding teams, and the World Cup returns

The Department of Player Safety sucks, rebuilding teams, and the World Cup returns

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Andrew Berkshire, Mary Clarke April 1, 2022 Duration: 58:29
Social media is lighting up over Taylor Hall's sucker punch of Ilya Lyubushkin, and with the NHL only handing out a $5000 fine, everyone is even more angry. Between officiating and player safety, frustration with the league's vague inaction might be at an all time high. Which of the already eliminated teams has the brightest immediate future; the Montreal Canadiens, Philadelphia Flyers, or Arizona Coyotes? Andrew also has some hot takes about the Coyotes and how the league handles them. Finally, Mary Clarke and Andrew Berkshire talk about the NHL bringing back the World Cup of Hockey, and what it means that they'll no longer be doing Team North America and Team Some of Europe.

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.
