About this episode

The episode discusses the need to re-evaluate the Player Safety discipline process in light of recent incidents and highlights key moments in the NHL.

There is a growing consensus that it's time to re-evaluate the Player Safety discipline process after the unacceptable 5-game suspension given to Gudas for his dirty knee-on-knee hit on Matthews last week. This incident highlights the Leafs' season, showcasing their embarrassing responses to their captain's injury from such a blatant hit. As we approach the final stretch of the season, the Habs must focus on cleaning up their game during critical moments to avoid slipping into a wild card position before the playoffs. In other news, Kopitar has made history by becoming the Kings' all-time leading points leader, surpassing Dionne.
