The Athletic Hockey Show

First, Ian and Hailey talk about an incident that took place over the weekend in the ECHL between the South Carolina Stingrays’ Jordan Subban and the Jacksonville Icemen’s Jacob Panetta, in which Panetta taunted Subban with an allegedly racial gesture following an on-ice scrum, and discuss the fallout, including Panetta’s explanation and apology video posted on Twitter, how the media can better handle incidents like this going forward, understanding that even if Panetta’s actions weren’t racially motivated, it doesn’t mean there isn’t a larger racism problem in hockey culture, and much more.

Then, shifting gears, they discuss the Philadelphia Flyers free fall, currently mired in their second 10-game winless streak of the season, Flyers defenseman Keith Yandle on the precipice of tying Doug Jarvis’ all-time consecutive games played record of 964 straight games, and whether Phil Kessel, currently at 940 straight games, is destined to break Yandle’s record sooner than later, Brad Marchand’s excellent Twitter escapades, and what exactly the NHL could do to make the All-Star Game more exciting.

Plus, to close things out in Multiple Choice Madness, Ian and Hailey answer whether the NHL or the NFL have the worst overtime rules and if they want to see players using props during the reinstated Breakaway Challenge at this year’s All-Star Game or not.
