This episode is very late and very full of tangents, but hopefully they're the funny kind? Anyways, we got caught up in the holiday rush and recorded this before the holidays but didn't get around to posting it. But it's of course, still worth a listen! Do endearing stories about Flower ever get old?  Hear about Leah's hockey nemesis and about Mary's long-awaited return to the ice.  As always, we talk Caps and Pens nonsense. In women's hockey, we wrap up the first two games in the USA/Canada Rivalry Series, provide an NWHL update, and do a deep dive into what would have to happen procedurally for the NHL to take on a greater role in women's hockey (hint hint....individually lobbying members of the NHL executive committee???)  Finally, we continue our discussion on the racism & abuse allegations.
