‘Twas the podcast before Christmas, and Free Press sports editor Steve Lyons and columnist Mike McIntyre discuss the gift to hockey fans in the form of a shiny new season that begins next month. The pair also look at whether provincial government and health officials could still play Scrooge to Canadian teams, and how the Jets stack up against their northern neighbours. They also reflect on 2020 as a whole and discuss holiday traditions that will be a bit different this year.
