SHOW NOTES

* 368.

1:00 Craig Kimbrel Curiosity.

* Why?

6:48: Sox Scuffle.

* They've only won 5 of the last 14, which we presume is the worst possible frame the media could come up with.

* Playoff ready?

18:45: Fucking Crosstown, Not In The Mood.

* Root for the team trying to win (but not their manager).

29:45: MAF A Go.

Jonathan Toews is back.
Marc-Andre Fleury's in net.
Seth Jones is here.
Jake McCabe-Connor Murphy is your shutdown pair.
Tyler Johnson's your 3C.
Kirby Dach is healthy.
Patrick Kane is still good.

Who knows if it'll work out, but it'll certainly be worth watching.
