A Surprise Friday Avalanche + Matthews Tries A New Stick

David Leo and Cristian Ceniti start things off sending positive energy to the Buffalo Bills ahead of their AFC Championship game. Then, the duo dives into the shocking Friday night trade in the NHL that saw Mikko Rantanen sent to the Carolina Hurricanes along with Taylor Hall, and Martin Necas going back to Colorado (10:27). The guys discuss the swap from both team's perspectives, reactions by those involved, and what impact this has on the Vancouver Canucks market at the deadline (22:55). David and Cristian then chat all things Leafs (46:43), including Auston Matthews unique stick exchange, Ryan Reaves first fight of the year, and their outlook prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off. Producer Alex Mandarino joins in the last segment for some quick hits (1:09:44), including Logan Thompson's no-call to Team Canada, Jacob Markstrom's injury, and Utah Hockey Club's naming confusion.
