The Edmonton Oilers are in a spiral, the Pittsburgh Penguins are rolling, and Cale Makar's epic 3-on-3 goal

The Athletic Hockey Show

In their first show of 2022, Ian Mendes and Sean McIndoe discuss the Oilers hitting a boiling point. What happens next, a coach firing or a trade for a goaltender? For Connor McDavid, is this the biggest waste of generational NHL talent ever? Then, with the Penguins surging, does Tristan Jarry get votes for comeback story of the season, and does he have a shot at the Vezina? Also, Cale Makar enters the goal of the year conversation with his 3-on-3 OT goal vs Chicago.

Then, with the mailbag overflowing from over the break, Ian and Sean tackle questions about a coach's challenge in a recent game, the World Cup of Hockey, and a listener comes up with a famous celebrity in a Panther's jersey to de-throne Sean's Walter Cronkite pull.

To wrap up, in "This Week in Hockey History", Eddie Shore's epic journey to make it to a game in a blizzard, Wayne Gretzky returns for his 1000th game after missing the first half of the season, and more.
