Dave, hot take, please. All right. My hot take is look out for the Columbus Blue Jackets. They are a team on a mission right now. Right now, as we record this on Friday morning, they're holding the first wildcard spot in the East. Excuse me. They're 22-17-6. Ethan, what did you say that they were since, was it 10-2-1?

Well, they've got the emotional element going with the whole, you know, they're playing for Johnny Goudreau and, you know, the season dedicated to him. They've got Zach Wierenski playing on another planet right now, possibly a Norris Trophy winner. Here's my question to you guys, though, before we move on. Can you name three non-Wierenski Blue Jackets?

Because this is a team that has so little star power, it's kind of crazy.

My point is they're doing this with so little big names and everything, and they're still playing well, and they're doing it the right way, and it's just a fun, great story. I'm really enjoying it, and I hope that they can continue this season because who doesn't love a sentimental... The best part is that Johnny Hockey's best friend, Sean Monaghan, is having a great year. Oh, yeah.

He's second in the team in scoring, or no, he's third, excuse me, he's behind Marchenko and the ridiculous Zach Rensi, who's actually leading Columbus in scoring, as we said today, from the blue line. This guy's probably going to win the Norris Trophy if he keeps it up.

Yeah, that's true. You always say the number change.

That was the wrong call. If you watch the replay, the long shot, after Kachuk hit Heischer, neither ref put his arm up. Correct. The whole scrum started. Both arms were down. So I call BS a little bit.

My other problem with the league right now is that clean hits are being met like they're, you know, two hands sticks to the mouth. It's ridiculous. Like we're kind of watering down hockey a little bit by having these crazy reactions to big hits. It's very frustrating.
