Host Gavin Spittle and NHL insider Sean Shapiro talk about the Frozen Four and the potential for Dallas to host the tournament in the future at the American Airlines Center. Gavin and Sean discuss how fans always like to blame the goalie. Sean explains why people assign blame to the goaltender when a puck goes in. They also emphasized that mistakes made by players like Miro Heiskanen or Mikko Rantanen are frequent but not amplified in the same way as a goalie's mistakes. Shapiro suggested the team needs to display more "natural aggressiveness". The absence of key players has forced others to elevate their offensive game, potentially leading them away from the aspects that made them effective middle-six players. Sean says the return of core players will help re-slot the lineup.
