The hosts also address the recent controversy involving Zach Hyman's 50-goal milestone achievement and the debate on the influence of privilege in reaching NHL success.

Reflections on missed story opportunities and critiques of John Hines' risky overtime goalie pulls, noting the subsequent loss nullifying initial gains. They discuss the rarity and necessity of such moves in NHL history.
