Michelle detailed the week long saga of what she knew of the trade that eventually brought Ilya Kovalchuk to the Devils. We talked about the Devil's participants in the Olympics and the fear that a star player could receive a season changing injury. We also discussed the upcoming match-up with the Preds on Friday.
Anthony brought us the latest update from the Island and discussed tonight's match with the Preds. He feels that the Preds are ripe to romp over an Isles team that is currently in disarray. As he also writes about the Kings, we got additional insight into their streak (that ended last night) and Jonathan Quick's breakout season.
We also had a brief visit at the beginning of the show with Nick Giglia of Let There Be Light(house) who gave us the latest update update in the long saga of local politics between Isles Owner Charles Wang and the Town of Hempstead.
Finally, during the after show portion of the podcast, we discussed the special Hockey Fight's Cancer fund raising shows that Anthony and George Brew are putting together for March 24 and 25th along with Chris Wassel and others. More details will be coming soon.

Big news on Long Island yesterday as the Town of Hempstead called a Press Conference to announce a vote on a "Zoning Plan".

After the press conference Nick has more as does B D Galloff at Hockey Independent.
In the midst of the Burke family's morning the loss of their son, some narrow minded homophobes are wanting the Wikipedia entry for Brendan Burke deleted.

In non-hockey news, the NFL Network has signed a deal with the new indoor football league, AF1 to air games in the upcoming season. The closest team to Nashville is the Alabama Vipers in Huntsville.
