December 11: Mikko Rantanen becomes the first player in the league to collect 50 points.

Also December 11, third period: Fans bang on the glass outside the Oilers penalty box.  The glass breaks and things get pretty awkward between Marc Moser and Peter McNab.  Whoops.

Nathan MacKinnon was pretty unhappy on the bench late in the game in Calgary on January 9th. James and Jay discuss this in the show.

Nathan MacKinnon continues to look strong and super fast.  Fittingly, he was named the National Hockey League’s second star for the month of November.

Tyler Bertuzzi brought back some old memories and feelings on December 2 in Detroit and was suspended two games because of his actions.

Shout out to Dan Emge.  He was trying to help us remember when we talked about Peter McNab and his Boston Bruins teammates going into the stands to exchange pleasantries with some Ranger fans at Madison Square Garden in 1979.  We still can’t remember which episode that was for us, but here’s some video from YouTube to help us celebrate anyway.  This. Is. NUTS.

James and Jay were looking through some of James’ pucks which he has collected through the years during his travels to different rinks.  This was one puck that got its message across to us and you’ll hear its message throughout the show.  It is, after all, pretty decent advice.

And then literally seconds after the tribute at Pepsi Center Matt Duchene goes and scores this beautiful goal.

The Avalanche’s first line really hockeyed during the month of October.  Captain Gabriel Landeskog was named the NHL’s first star for the week ending on October 21.  Mikko Rantanen was named the NHL’s third star for the week ending on October 28 and was then named the NHL’s first star for the month of October.
