Will Cale Makar and the Colorado Avalanche Avoid the NHL Cover Curse this Season?

On today's Western Conference Tuesday edition of Locked on NHL, Seth Toupal and Nick Morgan react to Cale Makar being announced as the cover athlete for NHL 24. Seth reveals some startling history about teams' lack of success during the season in which one of their players is on the cover, with only 2 of 27 teams advancing past the 1st round. Seth and Nick also announce some other worthy candidates for the cover. Both Seth and Nick then discuss new rules banning fighting in the QMJHL and whether or not similar rules will eventually reach the NHL.
