Episode 0250: NHL Power Rankings; Gaudreau & Tkachuk; Benning/Green Out; Milestones; Jenny Potter; Vigneault Sacked; Bishop Done; Eichel Updates; Matvei Michkov and More!

Christmas is coming and for some teams that is a good thing as we point out in this week's episode.  There have been no major player moves to this point but we have seen Jim Benning fired.  Joining him are Travis Green and Alain Vigneault.  Bruce Boudreau is in for Vancouver and Mike Yeo for Philly.  We break down the NHL power rankings and identify a couple of surprises on the list.  Johnny Hockey will be a UFA at the end of the season and Matthew Tkachuk an RFA.  Can Calgary afford both?  Can they afford to lose either player?  A few milestones were hit and we talk about them.  Jenny Potter will be inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame and it is much deserved.  Ben Bishop may be calling it a career as he has a degenerative knee injury.  Jack Eichel brings the good cheer to the Golden Knights and the U.S. Olympic teams as he has been seen back on skates and we talk about the young Russian, Matvei Michkov, who at 16 years and 11 months is one year younger than another famous player named Ovechkin when he made his first appearance on the Russian National Team.  The holidays are nearing so sit back and enjoy our gift to you...Episode 250!  Enjoy the Show!
