Hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke say their goodbyes with the final episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show! But before then, there’s hockey news to talk about, as the Minnesota Wild traded Kevin Fiala to the Los Angeles Kings. Fiala’s addition to the Kings bolsters an up-and-coming team, but his departure from the Wild will leave a huge hole.

Next, Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche are Stanley Cup champions, but the star has a bit of a diva problem. MacKinnon’s bullying of his teammates on their health choices isn’t the reason the Avalanche have won the Stanley Cup, but it’s clear their hyper-competitive nature is a big drive for this team.

Plus, Hometown Hockey at Sportsnet is no more. What can be done to fill the void left behind and what can Sportsnet and the NHL do to bring in a new generation of hockey fans?

Finally, Andrew and Mary send off the show with one final pop culture talk ahead of the Stranger Things season 4 finale. Thank you to all the listeners and watchers of The Cross-Check NHL Show for sticking with us through the last 16 months!
