Critiquing the Frozen Frenzy, Dumba rips NHL over Pride tape debacle and early season freak outs

Julian McKenzie and Mark Lazerus look back on the NHL's frozen frenzy. What worked? What didn't work and what should change for the next time they have all 32 teams playing in one night. The guys discuss some early season 'freak outs' with Down Goes Brown, including hot starts for the Boston Bruins, Vegas Golden Knights and Detroit Red Wings, and early season struggles in Calgary, Ottawa, Edmonton and Buffalo. Former The Athletic Rangers beat writer Rick Carpiniello, the author of The Franchise: New York Rangers: A Curated History of the Blueshirts joins Mark and Julian to promote his new book on the Rangers. J-Mac and Laz respond to Matt Dumba's harsh critique of the NHL over Pride tape-gate, tickets still available for the Heritage Classic and celebrating the career of Craig Anderson who officially retired as a member of the Senators Tuesday night in Ottawa.
