The East is decided, the Oilers are broken, and Andrew fixes the NHL All-Star Game

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Andrew Berkshire, Mary Clarke January 18, 2022 Duration: 56:04
On today's episode of the Cross-Check NHL Show, the show is on youtube now! Mary and Andrew take a look at how set the Eastern Conference is compared to the West, and figure out if there's any way a challenger can appear to upset one of the elite eight of the East. The Oilers are an absolute mess, and Connor McDavid appears to be sinking rather than swimming in a situation that looks more dire by the day. Are the Oilers going to dig themselves out of this? What went wrong? Is there a plausible path forward to fix it? Finally, Andrew and Mary talk about the recently named All-Star lineups, and debate the biggest snubs this year. Andrew proposes a relatively easy fix for the All-Star Game itself to make it far more entertaining than it currently is, include more of the best players, and keep all teams represented!

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.
