#81: Breakup Day Fallout & The Case Against Tkachuk

Joe is back from his cruise and immediately gets roasted by the Podcast Ombudsman Report as Joe learns he has been mispronouncing the name of the show for 80 straight episodes. From there, Eric and Joe dig into Breakup Day: a heartfelt sendoff for Jonathan Quick, serious frustration with J.T. Miller's "I put too much pressure on myself" comments, cautious optimism about Mika Zibanejad's turnaround, and encouraging signs from Adam Fox. They debate whether it's better for the Rangers if Minnesota wins or loses in Round 1 (the Trocheck trade market vs. the draft pick), weigh in on Vince Mercogliano's piece about Chris Drury's lack of transparency, and close with mailbag questions on McDavid, Alex Tuch, Dolan vs. Steinbrenner, and why Brady Tkachuk struggling in Ottawa actually proves Joe's point about him.
