As we continue without any live Hockey on the horizon, we at the Two Man Forecheck continue to find the stories that can be talked about. This week we open with a frank discussion on the NHL Restart and the Return to Play committee that has been created. We also revisit the Calder Candidates this season and debate who should and should not receive consideration. Oskar Lindblom was diagnosed with bone cancer back in December, but he is almost done with his treatments and could see a return to the ice soon. We wish him all the best and hope for a speedy return. The Blackhawks have fired their president, John McDonough, for no other reason than it appears the owner is trying to send a message, but what message is he really sending? Ray Bourque has gone on record as saying that Torey Krug is one of the best defensemen in the NHL, so we discussed it. NHL.com has put out a super 16 list of defensemen, and we break down the list and decide that some of the players are in the wrong spots. We talk about another potential expansion city for the NWHL, a point raised to us by Douglas Bildhauer on Facebook. And finally, the hockey gods have smiled on Boston as Jaro Halak has signed a one year extension to play for the Black and Gold. Lots of content to digest and comment on so give us a listen, send us your feedback and...Enjoy the Show!
