Crash the Net Podcast - Season 1 Episode 13

Since it is the All Star break in the NHL we decided to take a look back at our early season predictions to see how we're doing. Some of the results are actually a little surprising. We only had one injury to cover, and its a very ironic one indeed. After that we get into the three Red Wing's games this week including their big match-up against the Predators. We then looked at the Penguin's last three games also. We wrapped the show up with some listener email.
