The always elite Sidney Crosby like a fine wine, Tage Thompson leading Kevin Adams' Buffalo Sabres back to respectability, Connor McDavid putting up Gretzky/Lemieux numbers

Rob, Jesse and Russo praise Sidney Crosby who hasn't let age affect his play as the former 'kid' is 8th in NHL scoring, Carolina Hurricanes goalie Pyotr Kochetkov who has led the Canes to a 10-0-2 record in their past 12 games and Connor McDavid who is putting up Gretzky/Lemieux type numbers.

Mike had a chance to sit down with Tage Thompson and Kevyn Adams from the Buffalo Sabres about the Sabres continued development and Tage's massive start to the season which sees him third in NHL scoring.

Plus we address the aggressive manner in which NHL linesmen Dan Kelly removed Michael Bunting off the ice in Toronto, Cale Makar's honest plea to the refs in the Colorado / Islanders game, John Tortorella benching Kevin Hayes and a lot more on the final roundtable ahead of the Christmas break.
