The Cross-Check NHL Show

Hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke say their goodbyes with the final episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show! But before then, there’s hockey news to talk about, as the Minnesota Wild traded Kevin Fiala to the Los Angeles Kings. Fiala’s addition to the Kings bolsters an up-and-coming team, but his departure from the Wild will leave a huge hole.Next, Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche are Stanley Cup champions, but the star has a bit of a diva problem. MacKinnon’s bullying of his teammates on their health choices isn’t the reason the Avalanche have won the Stanley Cup, but it’s clear their hyper-competitive nature is a big drive for this team.Plus, Hometown Hockey at Sportsnet is no more. What can be done to fill the void left behind and what can Sportsnet and the NHL do to bring in a new generation of hockey fans?Finally, Andrew and Mary send off the show with one final pop culture talk ahead of the Stranger Things season 4 finale.

Andrew Berkshire and Laura attempt to break that down, looking backwards through Canadiens history to find comparables, then looking forward to what he can do for the franchise.Finally, the PWHPA (Professional Women's Hockey Players Association) have unanimously voted down the idea of working with the PHF (Professional Hockey Association, formerly the NWHL or National Women's Hockey League).

Mary Clarke is away on vacation, so Locked on Canadiens' cohost Laura Saba joins the show to help Andrew Berkshire break down the NHL's events over the weekend.Auston Matthews hit 51 goals in 50 games, so you would assume that would be dominating the conversation when it comes to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but you'd be wrong, because the Maple Leafs kicked a young Canadiens fan out of the game it happened in because Nick Suzuki gave the kid a stick during warmup.After the Leafs embarrassed themselves with what we all hope was a case of bad miscommunication, Leafs fans went one step further by getting extremely upset that prospect Matthew Knies elected to go back to college instead of joining the Leafs on their playoff run. Is that fanbase okay?Sidney Crosby just hit 1400 points in his 1100th game, he has a very strong chance of scraping into the top-10 scorers all time by the end of his current contract. With the new hotness of Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews, are we underselling Sid the Kid these days?Finally, it's the time to talk about the Hart Trophy again, Should the award be changed to make voting easier? Who is the favourite? How should we determine 'Most valuable"?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!HelloFreshGo to HelloFresh.com/lockedon16 and use code lockedon16 for up to 16 free meals AND 3 free gifts.Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
