• Why has the Habs rebuild worked so quickly?

  The Montreal Canadiens are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now, currently sitting in the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Max is joined by The Athletic’s own Arpon Basu to talk about the Habs rebuild, Lane Hutson’s game, and how the playoffs could work in a 36-team league.

• Will the Hart Trophy go to a non-forward this year?

  Max Bultman, Shayna Goldman and Peter Baugh debate the chances for a goalie or a defenceman to win the NHL's MVP award, traditionally won by a forward with players like Connor Hellebuyck, Zach Werenski and Quinn Hughes having Hart Trophy calibre seasons for their clubs. They discuss X-factors for teams hunting for a playoff spot, with less than 20 games to go in the season. Plus, we welcome Ryan McDonagh of the Tampa Bay Lightning to discuss his thoughts on the Bolts chances this spring, if it's time that a defender or goalie wins the Hart, and his partnership with the new Body Check Cup.

• Who we want in the playoffs vs. who we’re gonna get

  Laz and guest cohost Jesse Granger break down the wild card races in both conferences, picking which teams they want to make the playoffs and which ones will actually make it. Before that, the guys discuss the drawbacks of a potential 84-game NHL schedule and why the almost universally disliked current playoff format isn’t going anywhere.
