Brad Marchand reached 1,000 points Thursday night, and he did it in a Florida Panthers uniform. Is Sara Civian prepared for him to go into the Hall of Fame as a Cat? The guys ask her about that, as well as the conflicting feelings of watching Joel Quennville having success with the Anaheim Ducks, the Edmonton Oilers' weird start to the year, and the hockey fashion at the upcoming 2026 Milan Olympics. Before that, the guys discuss this year's Hockey Hall of Fame class, Ryan O'Reilly's intensely critical comments of himself, and the unfortunate passing of legendary New York Rangers beat reporter, Larry Brooks. In wins and fails, David introduces us to Rink Dude, Roy celebrates Artemi Panarin's haircut, and Ethan celebrates Brad Marchand's career milestone that he was in attendance for. Finally, the boys step into the Panthers Den, where things have turned around recently after back-to-back wins for the Cats and wins in four of their last seven. Learn more about your ad choices.
