Ahead this week on the bicentennial edition of AFITC, we resume our focus on the NHL after the delightful two week distraction of the Olympic Games. Three Leaf games this past week, we’ll guide you through those results before breaking down the trades consummated by Brian Burke at the deadline. An injury update on Mikhail Grabovski follows in the Revolving Door.

Quick Hits concludes the Redline Report with news on some contract signings, suspensions and other notable trades from around the league. Those were hard to find! In On The Bubble, Listener Contributions come your way from Twitter and Email. It’s a week off for the Gong Banger this week as we make room for Michael Landsberg, the Host of Off the Record on TSN and the Host of Whistler Olympic Daytime on CTV.

Rigamarole wraps the show with a look at NHL participation in future Olympic Games and why hockey fans shouldn’t worry about missing the chance to see the best players in Sochi, Russia in 2014. How the hell did we last for two hundred shows without driving each other insane? Who knows, this could be the day. This is Episode 5.25 of AFITC.
