Programming Fit For a King … and Blue, and Ranger, and Oiler

In commemoration of the 20 year anniversary of “The Trade“, the NHL Network has designated the remainder of this week as Gretzky Week.¬† While one might argue that it is not as terrifying as Shark Week, we would bet a number of netminders from the ’80s would beg to differ.
