As the NHL marches toward its return to play, Ryan and Rory welcome Mark Spector to the show. The veteran Edmonton-based reporter has covered a lot of work stoppages during his career, so he has a lot to say about the league and NHLPA walking hand-in-hand into a new era of unprecedented labour peace. He also explains what life is going to be like covering an NHL training camp next week and breaks down the biggest questions heading into the Oilers’ preliminary-round series versus the Chicago Blackhawks. The boys also get fired up about the prospect of six games per day and all the viewing possibilities. Circumstances also seem to be perfect for some wild upsets, prompting a conversation around Ryan’s piece on the the worst teams in history to make the Stanley Cup Final.
