Who are the hosts and what is the main topic of this episode?

Roy 0:51
Hello, welcome to the Hockey Show. I'm Roy. Rose is in David's seat because David is in Boston. Ethan is in the EP chair. He's giving a wave. A small bit of news just happened just now. David, you have details on a signing.

What is the latest NHL signing news?

David Samson 1:07
I do. Just coming across the news wires as we are doing the hockey show, Kevin Lankanen, perhaps some may call him the goaltending savior in Vancouver this year, has signed a five-year extension worth a pretty reasonable $4.5 million per year. Granted, this is his first, you know, you want to call it breakout year or whatever, but a pretty steady move by Vancouver to get him long-term for that price. I mean, Thatcher Demko, Been a little hurt this year. He came back, then he went back out again. So obviously they want to shore up a little bit of insurance there. I know they got Shelobbs, who was amazing during the playoffs last year. But I don't know, Roy. I'm pretty pleased with this move for Vancouver. I think it's smart on their end.
Roy 1:44
So is Demko and Lackanen going to be sort of a Bob and Spencer Knight type of deal here if Vancouver was better than what they are this year?
David Samson 1:54
Well, I think it's probably a little bit more long-term considering Demko's got, you know, quite a few less miles than Sergey Bobrovsky does. Bob's done. His contract is done after next season. Well, both of them are, Bob and Knight. But, no, I think Vancouver, if Lankanen is... long-term, what he's appeared to be this season and in bits and pieces of the last couple of years on some lesser teams, then their goaltending situation, assuming Demko gets healthy and once he's healthy, he's good to go, their goaltending situation would be pretty solid moving forward for a while.

Why does Rose want to change international hockey competitions?

Roy 2:25
Okay, obviously we're going to get into the four nations in a second, but apparently Rose has some sort of hot take that we actually have to get into. So go ahead.
Rose 2:35
So my hot take is more than four nations, it should be a two nation. Canada versus United States. Just get Finland and Sweden out. They didn't do anything. I'm so sorry. I love Marky.
Ethan Podolsky 2:45
I love this take. I'm going to tell you why. Not because I think Sweden and Finland should be thrown out, but because I think in the years that it's not the Olympics or the World Cup of Hockey, the All-Star break should be a three-game showcase, best two out of three between the United States and Canada. Could you imagine? It's 1-1 right now. Could you imagine the anticipation for a third game three days from now? What that would be like after what we saw in game one? A great game in game two, which we'll get into. Obviously, we don't love the result here, but that was a fantastic hockey game. Super well played on both sides.
Roy 3:21
Yeah, you are absolutely right. And you are absolutely right. I like Ethan's idea of a best of three.
Rose 3:26
That was not Ethan's idea.
Roy 3:28
I know, you were the catalyst. You were the catalyst.
Rose 3:32
with my hot take.

How did the Four Nations final play out?

Roy 3:33
I've kind of been saying this all week, Rosie, but it's okay.
David Samson 3:36
I'm just agreeing with your hot take. There you go. He's kind of been saying this all week. They're fighting over the hot take. Come on, guys. You don't have to fight. You can share the hot take.
Rose 3:45
Sam Bennett versus Brady. Let's go. Right here.
Roy 3:51
Four Nations final was last night. It was a spectacle. It was an epic. And, of course, it went into overtime. It was like a script was written. I was right, saying everybody take Canada as the underdog at plus one and a half. And, obviously, they went into overtime. So if you pick that one, you won money. So you're welcome. But let's start with the national anthems. Okay, O Canada was booed.
