Quinn and Paulina discuss Bouchard's big reveal. The Oilers are on a heater and we take a quick snapshot of the playoff picture as it stands right now. Then there's the recent John Tortorella hire for the Vegas Golden Knights — are we worried? We get into the Tortorella lore and how this hire might shake things up for the Pacific division. Plus, the IOC announces they have banned trans women from the Olympics and we have some thoughts.
