On this week’s episode of Energy Line, Nate and JSB react to Brad Treliving calling the Leafs “vanilla”—and dig into what that really says about Toronto’s identity right now. Then, inspired by Jonathan Quick’s reaction to the Red Wings shooting on his net after the final horn, Nate and JSB break down the unwritten rules of hockey, including:

• The most prominent unwritten rules players still follow
• Whether guys break them on purpose — and why
• The media’s own unwritten rules
• And one very specific guideline about jersey numbers that Nate thinks even applies to rec-league players

Finally, they preview the best games on the schedule this week and what to watch for.

Enjoy, and we’ll see you back here next week for more Energy Line.
