Episode description

Jeff and Elliotte revisit three controversial calls from this week in the NHL. First, Tyler Bertuzzi's no-goal due to goalie-interference from William Nylander (1:45). Should NHL referees release explanation videos for game-changing calls? Jeff and Elliotte get into a heated debate about how slashing penalties are called thanks to the Dylan Samberg and John Tavares incident (9:11) and the fellas talk about the boarding penalty that saw Tyler Myers ejected from the game after a questionable video review (21:22). Next, they touch on Brendan Gallagher's 5 game suspension for elbowing Adam Pelech, and how important appeals have become this season (29:05). The guys get into David Jiricek's public frustrations in Columbus surrounding his playing time and demotion to the AHL (34:47), discuss how St. Louis has crawled their way back into the playoff race (44:19), and focus on the slumping LA Kings (47:20). On the trade front, are the New York Rangers  in the market for two centres after previously only needing one (55:03) and could Chris Tanev be traded to the Ottawa Senators (59:27)? 

The guys answer your questions in the Montana’s Thought Line (1:01:58).
