Captain Blye and the Rabbi: Episode 20

Welcome back hockey fans. As the season begins to wind down, the Rabbi and I take a look at some issues that affect the greater game. This week, we tackle "The Code." Using the Cooke hit and subsequent fight with Shawn Thornton, Ethan and I call into question the concept of players being able to police themselves. I haven't believed they've be able to for quite some time and Ethan seems to agree with me.

In the second and third periods, we take a look back at where it went wrong for the dregs of the NHL. First the East and then the West, we talk about why these teams ended up in the basement and what (if anything) they can do to get out of it.

Enjoy!
