CHT Episode 26: Midseason Review

The halfway point in the season has passed and the Pacific is the closest it’s been in a long time. Jacob, Joey, and Penn discuss disappointments, pleasant surprises, and where they think their teams will end up come May and June. Random observations: Kase, Ritchie, and Vermette have combined to form a KILLER “third” line for the Ducks, the Kings continue to persevere, keeping their playoff hopes alive even in the absence of Jonathan “Ow, My Groin” Quick, and... Oh, yeah Boedker had a hat trick. That happened.
