With Nick away, it takes three people to replace him.

The Calgary Flames, and the NHL as a whole, had a bad week after news of coaches behaving badly happened repeatedly. Thankfully, this news is coming to light. What does it mean for the future of the league? Ryan Pike of Flames Nation and The Sporting News joins us to discuss the week that was for the Flames: the resignation of Bill Peters, the fallout and the future with Geoff Ward.

Matthew Dillner, producer of the Dale Jr. Download and lifelong New York Islanders fan, joins us to discuss the New York Islanders' fantastic season. With Matthew Barzal leading the way and Thomas Greiss and Semyon Varlamov sharing the net, who are the unsung heroes leading this team?

Alex Metzger, co-host of the MnM Podcast, joins us as well to see what teams are destined for a playoff position swap with the season at the one third mark. Can the Lightning turn it around? Are the Leafs destined for failure? Can the Flames recover from this terrible stretch?
