This is the mother of all episodes because it's our first non-interview episode since Mary's return from maternity leave!  And because it's our longest episode yet because we had lots to catch up on.  In addition to talking about our own hockey shenanigans, we talk about women's hockey, including the Team USA/Canada training camp in Pittsburgh & those SPICY exhibition games, our poor Whale, and the PWHPA.  In NHL action, we talk about what has surprised us so far this season and give a high-level overview of the Caps and Pens so far and reminisce over Don Cherry's firing.  Last but definitely not least, we discuss the racism and abuse issues that plague hockey.
