About this episode
In this total eclipse of a podcast, Jeff and Elliotte kick things off by shining a light on Yegor Sharangovich breaking the record for most goals in a season by a Belarusian player. That makes way for a conversation about the Penguins gaining ground in the playoff race (5:00). Jeff and Elliotte also delve into Jake Guentzel's future in Carolina (12:15) and discuss Detroit sneaking into a WC spot for the time being and Patrick Kane contributing to the scoresheet (20:41). Speaking of sunlight and the eclipse, Jeff and Elliotte make time to mention Joonas Korpisalo getting blinded by sunlight mid-game in Washington (23:55). Next, Jeff and Elliotte discuss the Oilers' need for Evander Kane to find his game if they want to go on a long playoff run (34:52), and Elliotte also mentions that Artemi Panarin deserves love for MVP (38:24). The guys then find the irony in Brady Tkachuk taking issue with Nico Hischier's empty net goal (39:42). Afterward, the guys talk about how the St. Louis Blues have been swept by the San Jose Sharks this season (47:00) and debate which team they'd want to face in the Pacific division playoffs (50:50). They wrap the first segment by discussing the future of MLSE (1:01:07). The guys answer your questions in the Montana’s Thought Line (1:09:09).
