Ice Time host Mike Fink and Episode 2 guest Bill Meltzer put some popular hockey “truisms” to the test. Is a two-goal lead really “the most dangerous lead in hockey”? Does home ice advantage still exist in today’s NHL? Should teams avoid trading with teams within the same divison? Are there some players a team truly can’t win a Stanley Cup with as part of a roster? Changing the pace a bit, what aspects of “Old Time Hockey” are missed nowadays?
