In this edition of 32 Thoughts, Jeff and Elliotte pay tribute to Zach Hyman and Sam Reinhart, who both reached the magical hockey mark of 50 goals. Now that Reinhart has reached 50, the fellas ponder how the Florida Panthers fit him in their future plans (15:00 ). Next, Jeff and Elliotte focus on the Edmonton Oilers after Evander Kane didn't play on Sunday night (17:20 ) and the guys also highlight how important Gabe Vilardi has been to the Winnipeg Jets (23:20 ). Elliotte then provides his takeaways from Carolina-Toronto on Sunday (28:00 ), and that is then contrasted with the Columbus Blue Jackets who were officially eliminated from playoff contention this weekend (30:55 ). Elliotte provides an update on Elias Lindholm and the Canucks, and the guys highlight the fan ovation for JT Miller on Saturday night (36:14 ). They give credit to the Nashville Predators who have turned their season around and sit in the first wild card spot in the West (40:19 ) and close out the A block by commenting on the relationship between the CHL and NCAA (43:19 ).  

The guys answer your questions in the Montana’s Thought Line (51:26 ).
