On the Wednesday round table, Rob Pizzo from CBC Sports, along with Sara Civian and Jesse Granger from the Athletic look back on the 2020/21 class for the Hockey Hall of Fame, and if the standard that has to be met to be a hall of fame'er has been watered down.

Lisa Dillman from the Athletic Los Angeles joins the show to discuss the overachieving Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks who have shocked the hockey world with the start to their season, including a rejuvenated Ryan Getzlaf and Jonathan Quick.

Plus, the round table discusses Trevor Zegras overtime stick flip celebration and his subsequent misconduct, if PK Subban is a serial slew footer, the struggling Vancouver Canucks who continue to preach patience and the Ottawa Senators who have been ravaged by COVID-19 and how the outbreak on their team, could affect the NHL's involvement in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
