In this weeks episode we look at the wild race for a wild card place in the Western Conference. Which is tougher, the Eastern or Western Conference? 

As the league heads towards the trade deadline we take a look at who's going to be buying and who could be big sellers come February 25th.

Our fan this week is Georgie Hunt who is a Penguins fan based in Norwich (Which is 'officially' the city furthest away from an ice rink in the UK!). She also has a very cool story as to how she became a fan of this great league. 

Clare took a week off this week so Steven Edwards rejoins Jolon Kemp Walker for your weekly dose of NHL Fans From Afar. 

Oh and yes, it happened again.... hours after recording this podcast the Leafs make a signing! Auston Matthews is a Leaf for the next 5 seasons, but fear not this will just give Jolon a chance to calm down and compose himself ahead of next weeks pod!  

Presented by Jolon Kemp Walker & Steven Edwards. Produced by ASFB Productions.
