We took some time at the start of this episode to celebrate and remember the incredible Jessi Pierce. If you are interested, you can find her GoFundMe HERE.We encourage you to read Sara’s beautiful tribute HERE. Next, we dive into Bits O’ News including everything happening in the pillow fight division: suspensions, bestie Connor speaking up and speaking out and nobody winning. In brighter news the PWHL gets another spotlight, while a caesar salad fueled goalie continues to impress us. From there we look at the NHL to try and figure out what’s going on with some of the winners and losers. And there’s always a game of FMK to wrap things up.

We get right into Bits O’ News this episode: Injuries have hit the Leafs - but no one is defending their honor and where to start with the Oilers…Connor’s speaking up and bestie Leon is broken as is their goaltending. The PWHL is delivering trades and unbelievably good hockey right now and you’ll be able to watch the Final on Scripps!
