The pod is back after a month to unpack an Isles team that finds itself 3rd in the Metropolitan division and very much looking like a playoff team near the Christmas break. Friend of the pod, music journalist, and Skatesafe legend Ed Hackimer joins the pod as we attempt to interpret who the team's core now is, what are the flawed pieces they'll have to live with until the offseason, and what considerations have to be made when navigating bounce-back performances from Lee and Pageau on their expiring deals.
Be sure to read Hack's music blog Where Did Mary Go? to read his interviews, reviews, and essays on the metal and alternative scenes.
