Habs, Oilers make head coaching changes and Olympic hockey ramps up with playoff round

On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke continue to weather their busy schedules amidst a hectic week in hockey! The Montreal Canadiens axed Dominique Ducharme and have brought in Martin St. Louis as their new head coach, hopefully bringing about a new era of change for a stagnant team.The Beijing Olympics continue apace with the women’s tournament in its playoff rounds after Canada bested the United States 4-2 in the round robin. While the Canadian women are on cruise control, the United States women are having a bit more trouble, only barely just getting past Czechia in the quarterfinals after a stellar performance by their goaltender Klara Peslarova.Also, the Edmonton Oilers fired head coach Dave Tippett as the team skids out of playoff contention. Tippett, however, is seemingly the fall guy for general manger Ken Holland, whose mismanagement of the Oilers assets continues to harm Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.Finally, Andrew and Mary end Friday’s show with more Star Wars talk with major The Book of Boba Fett spoilers!Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
