Captain Blye and the Rabbi: Episode 19

Welcome back hockey fans. It's absolutely amazing outside, with yesterday being one of the nicest St. Patrick's Day in recent memory (take this comment however you'd like). It almost seemed a waste to stay indoors and cooped up but that's where the Rabbi and I were last night to give you, our listeners, your weekly dose of awesome. In this week's show, Ethan and I lead with the seemingly unending topic of headshots (and reckless play in general). Last week, we were disappointed with the hit that Matt Cooke put on Marc Savard. Well guess who is is? Donald S. Cherry himself. Maybe there's hope for the old guard yet. We wax on Cherry's reaction to the Cooke hit as well as some discussion on dangerous plays in the league these days. In period two, we discuss the playoff situation in the East. While the individual teams are closed to settled, there still are some pressing questions: "Can the Rangers make the big dance?" "How far will Ottawa fall in the standings?" And "Who are you, and what have you done with Montreal Canadiens?" Finally period three takes a similar look at the Western Conference. Spots one through seven seem locked in. The question is who will get the final post-season birth: Calgary or Detroit?

As always, enjoy the show!
