Jack Roslovic on home ice in Columbus, NHL needs a play-in system for the playoffs, Auston Matthews ceiling and the Los Angeles Kings season long luck could be running out

Jack Roslovic of the Columbus Blue Jackets joins Sean to talk about what it's like to play for his hometown team, the rebuild in Columbus his pending restricted free agency and how successful the 2014/15 US National development team has become in the NHL, including fellow former teammates, Auston Matthews, Charlie McAvoy, Troy Terry, Tage Thompson and Matthew Tkachuk .

With a stick tap to Marvel's 'What if....' Craig and Sean take a look at what a play-in scenario would look like if the NHL adopted the NBA's exciting 'tournament style' involving the seven, eight, nine and ten teams in each conference which will decide the final two playoff spots.

The guys discuss the LA Kings surprise season which has taken a blow with Drew Doughty set to miss the rest of the year after undergoing wrist surgery, if Auston Matthews can replace Connor McDavid as the best player on the planet, and what franchise will qualify for a playoff slot first, the Arizona Coyotes or the Buffalo Sabres?

Plus Craig and Sean share their origin story in another edition of the only segment that matters the Tuesday boys comment section, and we praise the work by Costco for their smoothies and hotdogs, and we answer a couple of questions on hockey too!
