The Hometown Remix Jerseys Are Cursed
Show notes
After the NHL-wide reveal yesterday, three teams debuted their new Hometown Remix in-game... and all three lost. We discuss how these new uniforms looked in their first uses and whether the whole line of jerseys might just be bad luck. Plus, the Chicago Blackhawks are embracing internal data, some countries are still rejecting Russia's return to international hockey and the San Jose Sharks don't look like they are having fun at all.
