Episode 0251: NHL Pause; John Gillies; D Scoring; Kraken Swindle; Robby Fabbri; All Star Voting; Winter Classic; Brett Connolly; Jacob Chychrun and More!

With Christmas on the horizon and a new year set to begin soon, we delve deep into what's going on around the league.  The big news which we expected is that the NHL is going to pause until after Christmas at the earliest.  How long will this continue?  The Devils have utilized 6, yes 6 goaltenders this season, and we haven't reached Christmas yet.  The bigger surprise may be that this ties a team record.  Mike takes a deep dive into D scoring in the league and relates it to the Boston defense. Have the Kraken swindled their fans and the hockey community?  We attempt to answer this question.  Robby Fabbri has inked a new deal in Detroit.  Is he a 4 million dollar player?  The All Star Voting has begun and there are no surprises.  Will the Winter Classic be played?  We make our picks anyway.  The Office of Player Safety got it right (Mike admits this) with regards to Brett Connolly's hit on Tanner Kero.  Joe Haggerty writes that Jacob Chychrun will solve the B's biggest issue and we break down a deal posited by a commenter on an Athletic article about Boston's goaltending.  Merry Christmas to all, this is our gift to you!  Enjoy the Show!
