Tage Thompson's big night, if high-scoring NHL games are here to stay, and struggling contenders in Colorado and Florida

Ian Mendes and Sean McIndoe discuss Tage Thompson's big game against the Blue Jackets Wednesday night, if the high-scoring games are here to stay, and theories why they have stuck around. Also, fans react poorly to Ian and Hailey Salvian's attendance story, and Sean calls out one fanbase in particular in return.

Then in "Granger Things", Jesse Granger discusses the swing in odds for Thompson's Rocket Richard chances, the Golden Knights suffering from their own Vegas Flu, and contenders currently on the outside looking in on the playoffs. To wrap up, "boot hockey" is definitely a thing, a DGB Intern comes through, and a look back with "This Week in Hockey History".
