Time to recap the Central Division! Things start with the Avalanche and examining how Martin Necas and Jack Drury have fit into Colorado after 3 games, and where the Avs go from here. Moving to Chicago, we discuss the forgotten team in the blockbuster trade, and question if the Hawks are truly doing their rebuild any favours. St. Louis and Utah are milling around the edges of the Wildcard race, but do they have enough to make a push? Is it time for Nashville to write of the season and focus on next year? Are the Wild the dark horse team of the Division or is great goaltending covering up lapses elsewhere in their game. Finally the Jets and Stars look poised to claim the top two spots in the division but for them it's all about playoff success.

Thanks for tuning in, like and subscribe on Youtube! Tune in next week for the final midseason division review as we go over the Atlantic.

The Edmonton Oilers released a statement giving their support for captain and star player Connor McDavid as he deals with a 3-game suspension for cross-checking Connor Garland. Midseason reviews continue with the Metropolitan. Is the Rangers strong start to 2025 a sign they are turning the ship around? and if so can they do it with how tight the Eastern Wildcard race is? The Washington Capitols are one of the darlings of the league, with Logan Thompson continuing to make Hockey Canada's goaltending decisions questionable, and Pierre-luc Dubios fitting in nicely. In Columbus the Blue Jackets are the other darling of the league, with Zach Werenski staking his claim for a Norris trophy and the young stars finding their own in the NHL. The Hurricanes and Devils are where we thought they'd be, though the Devils have slipped recently (PS episode recorded Thursday night). In Long Island, the Islanders are the epitome of mediocrity, briefly touching on their struggles, before shifting to Pennsylvania to talk about the other mediocre teams in the division in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

Halfway through the 2024-25 NHL season, so a great time to look at the state of each division. Turmoil continues to brew in Vancouver as the Pattersson/Miller saga hurdles towards a massive shift in the Canucks locker room. In Seattle, the Kraken have sunk back down to the depths of the division at a time when they should be rising. What's going on in Seattle and is Ron Francis on the hot seat? Jack Eichel is putting together a stellar season, dragging Vegas to the top seed, is he flying under the radar as a Hart Trophy candidate? In Anaheim, the Ducks are starting to see their young talent come together a bit, with play of young net minder Lukas Dostal the highlight, it's only a matter of time before spring hockey returns to Anaheim. The Flames are having a stellar season and do the Oilers have enough to pass the Golden Knights?

After more than 2 weeks off we are back with the first episode of 2025! Time to review the World Juniors where the USA captured their 2nd straight Gold Medal, while Finland and Czechia claimed silver and bronze respectably. Sweden had another flawless round robin only to loose in both the semi's and bronze medal game, while Canada's tournament was an utter disaster. We dive into the issues with the Canadian team, roster construction and coaching decisions (the players did their best we are not blaming them for anything!). Is Latvia becoming a top 8 hockey nation? Some success at the World Men's Championship and knocking off Canada in round robin and giving the Swedes a scare in the quarters. Welcome back everyone we will be returning to weekly episodes now that schedules are back to normal and everyone has returned home.

We discuss the benefit of the trade from Seattle's side and what Kakko could bring with a fresh start, while the Rangers continue to struggle.
