Could this mean a trade is on the horizon? We weigh in on that and the Ottawa team's playoff potential, balancing the scales between the Eastern and Western conference showdowns. Liam and Chris get into it over the cost of Minor Hockey. IS is affordable?  We tackle the affordability of house league hockey and share tips for keeping costs down without sidelining your kids from the game they love.NHL All-Star Ron Dugay joins us in a candid 'Shooting the Shot' series interview, where he reflects on the highs and lows of his NHL career and his continued passion for the game through alumni and charity matches. We also take you on a historic journey back to Jean Beliveau's milestone and  setting the record straight on a common misconception, and muse over the longest suspensions in NHL history.
