Happy New Year! Enjoy our last episode of 2021 as Steve and Craig discuss and debate hockey's hottest topics.

Our main discussion part of this edition is the cancelation of the World Junior Hockey Championship. How did we get here? Was it the right decision? Why no bubble? Why not relocate? Will it be rescheduled? Steve and Craig try and answer those questions as we talk about the major disappointment with the tournament being canceled.

With the NHL back from the holiday break we also talk about the game back on the ice and how teams are looking heading into the new year. One concern for Steve is the Edmonton Oilers trying to figure it out and what happens if they don't.

It's also time for another January 1st NHL tradition as we talk about taking the game outside with the 2022 Winter Classic set to be played in Minnesota between the Wild and St. Louis Blues.

And we close things out on this edition remembering and thanking the legend that is John Madden!
