As the saying goes, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, and in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, Max and Jesse make their picks for the luckiest teams in the NHL this season. Plus, The Athletic’s own Sean McIndoe joins the show to discuss Auston Matthews sustaining a season-ending injury following a Radko Gudas-induced knee-on-knee hit last week, Gudas’ subsequent five game suspension, and if the Maple Leafs should launch a full-scale rebuild this coming offseason. And, to close things out, the guys deep dive into Jesse’s NHL goalie tandem power rankings 2.0.

Jacob Fowler stole the show in Montreal vs the Senators last night. Hailey Salvian and Dom Luszczyszyn discuss the Habs decision to start him over Sam Montembeault and if the youngster will be the number one goalie heading into the playoffs. They discuss the Washington Capitals, who seem to have derailed since the trade deadline, pending UFA Nick Schmaltz re-signing with Utah, and the NHL modifying the disciplinary sanction originally imposed on the Ottawa Senators’ franchise for its role in connection with the July 2021 trade of Evgenii Dadonov, and they revisit their pre-season award predictions.

On a post-NHL trade deadline Monday, Laz and Jesse break down some of the under-the-radar acquisitions that could really pay off during the playoffs. Before that, the guys talk about one of the wildest games of the season, last night’s 8-7 barnburner between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Buffalo Sabres, including a potential suspension looming for Brandon Hagel. Plus, the five first-round playoff series we want to see, and, with Connor Bedard likely to become the next captain of the Chicago Blackhawks, the guys discuss the pros and cons of a player taking on that role at a young age.
