We talk about the massive PLD for Laine trade, COVID, COVID everywhere, Russian politics, and cursing at reporters. The bulk of the episode is spent talking about the National Women’s Hockey League’s 2021 season, currently being played in Lake Placid, NY under similar conditions to the NHL’s return to play last year. You can stream every NWHL game this season (which only lasts for 12 more days) at twitch.tv/nwhl and catch the semifinals and finals in the US on NBCSN. Many thanks to our sources for this one.
