USA vs. Canada heats up Olympics, All-Star weekend shenanigans, and second half predictions

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Andrew Berkshire, Mary Clarke February 8, 2022 Duration: 52:34
On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke discuss the first few days of the women’s hockey tournament at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The United States and Canada are once again on a crash course towards the gold medal match, but first the two teams will have to face one another in the round robin tournament. Next, the NHL’s All-Star weekend in Las Vegas has come and gone, with the league’s new outdoor events crashing and burning despite an attempt to make them fun. The real highlight of All-Star weekend was Trevor Zegras, whose stunning blindfolded breakaway challenge goal carried the event as the big highlight reel moment. Plus, Andrew and Mary make some second half predictions for the rest of the 2021-22 NHL season, from a busy trade deadline to the status of the Montreal Canadiens.

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.
