Ears on the Prize - Episode 3 featuring Jay Baruchel

Today's show is heavily focused on the role of fighting in the NHL and whether it has a lasting place in the sport. Friend of the site, Jay Baruchel is going to way in on the topic, as fighting is close to his heart. His smash hit "Goon" was dedicated to the memory of his father.

Is the NHL trying to get rid of fighting without actually explicitly doing it?

Was Kessel's reaction to John Scott justifiable?

After we tackle fighting, we'll look at the Habs' preseason thus far, and who has a shot to make the team, and then we'll be talking to two Bruins writers to preview the Habs and Bruins rivalry.
