We have lots of Bits o’ News what with everyone deciding its time to change your coach or your front office a week before the season ends. But we can’t forget the awesome HALO conference, Hagens coming to Boston and…a Zammoth?

We have to discuss the epic PWHL Takeover Tour at Madison Square Garden and the league’s playoff picture is coming into shape.

We took some time at the start of this episode to celebrate and remember the incredible Jessi Pierce. If you are interested, you can find her GoFundMe HERE.We encourage you to read Sara’s beautiful tribute HERE.

Next, we dive into Bits O’ News including everything happening in the pillow fight division: suspensions, bestie Connor speaking up and speaking out and nobody winning. In brighter news the PWHL gets another spotlight, while a caesar salad fueled goalie continues to impress us.

From there we look at the NHL to try and figure out what’s going on with some of the winners and losers. And there’s always a game of FMK to wrap things up.
