Sean and Sean offer up their replacements for Brayden Point, if the star forward from the Tampa Bay Lightning won't be healthy enough in time to play for Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics. They guys welcome Aaron Portzline to discuss the struggling Blue Jackets and the impact new coach Rick Bowness will have on this perennial underachieving team, and Sean and Sean discuss how Mitch Marner has fit in with the Vegas Golden Knights and if the Boston Bruins are a legitimate playoff team.
Hosts: Sean Gentille and Sean McIndoe
With: Aaron Portzline
Executive Producer: Chris Flannery
