Every Cup contender's fatal flaw as we hit Thanksgiving

The Athletic Hockey Show

No NHL team is perfect, and with Thanksgiving upon us, Max and Laz identify the fatal flaw that could derail each Stanley Cup contender on their path to June glory. Before that, the guys discuss Blues GM Doug Armstrong replacing Drew Bannister with Jim Montgomery a mere 22 games into his tenure as head coach. Plus, The Athletic’s NHL insider Pierre LeBrun talks other coaches on the hot seat, early trade rumblings, and 4 Nations roster construction. And, Jesse Granger closes things out with thoughts on the very uncertain goaltending situation for the Carolina Hurricanes.
