In the wake of Florida Panthers forward AJ Greer’s three-game suspension for boarding Calgary Flames forwards Connor Zary, Max and Laz discuss whether the punishment fit the crime, how the NHL could do more to curb these kinds of dangerous hits, and the major obstacle preventing those changes. Plus, The Athletic’s own Aaron Portzline joins the show to discuss the surging Columbus Blue Jackets, who despite a 1-0 loss the New York Islanders on Sunday night, remain one of the league’s hottest teams. And, to close things out, the guys talk about the teams with a lot at stake down the stretch towards the playoffs.
