In this edition of 32 Thoughts, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman open things by focusing on Alex Ovechkin creeping closer to Wayne Gretzky's goal record. Afterwards, the fellas unpack whether the Montreal Canadiens should "Hurt for Hagens" as they sit dead last in the NHL standings (15:45). Kyle and Elliotte talk about Shea Weber ahead of induction to the HHOF (30:00) and they talk about teams starting to look at possible coaching replacements (36:00). Elliotte scolds Kyle for suggesting it would be challenging for MacKenzie Weegar to crack the Flames lineup (40:00) and Kyle then gives it back for Elliotte's mishap with Dante Fabbro's waiver potential (42:00). The guys talk about the Winnipeg Jets who are off to the best start in NHL history through 15 games (46:50). The Final Thought unpacks the ongoing story now that the NCAA has opened eligibility for CHL players (55:55).
