Toronto Maple Leafs fined $100K, Bobby Orr to 'throw out' first puck at Winter Classic, and Canada's goalie production problem

In a definitely not-prerecorded at all edition of The Athletic Hockey Show, Ian and Sean discuss TML being hit with an $100K fine for traveling early, and Sheldon Keefe's fine for yelling at Wes McCauley. Then, how games are New Year's Eve are scheduled and if it's better to have a matinee game or a night game that day. Next, the announcement of Bobby Orr throwing out the "first puck" at the Winter Classic, and if the outdoor game novelty may be losing it's charm. Next, in "Granger Things", Jesse Granger joins the discussion about whether Canada has a goalie development problem, and thoughts on the unhinged Red Wings-Penguins game. Then, a listener gives Ian and DGB ultimate hockey power with a VM, and to wrap it up, a look back with "This Week in Hockey History". Have a question for Ian and Sean?
