This week, Babcock out Babcock’d Babcock in the most Babcockian way ever. Join us as we send our condolences to the 5’9” line (RIP, we hardly knew ya), Freddie (at least 60 starts is slightly less than last year, right?), and perennial third-line player William Nylander. We don’t actually threaten to fight Babcock, but we’re not gonna lie…. it was close.
We also look at the NHL and NHLPA’s mysterious new Female Hockey Advisory Committee, how the Jets have quietly been building relationships with Indigenous communities, and discuss which hockey players would survive the Hunger Games.
