Winning the cup/Getting relegated. Starters and Scratches including Layla Anderson, car parking and The New Jersey Devils setting what must be a record. We interview Jason Paul of Wave Intel about starting something from scratch and balancing a new idea with family life. We also discuss his testicles. Check out his work @waveintel on twitter and the new player versus model. Then onto the news which started with the Board of governors meeting and Gary Bettman highlighting a four point plan of changes coming into the NHL. We look at those and how easy they will be to implement. 48 hours after Bettman announced there would be repercussions for teams who hid the truth two coaches were fired. Jim Montgomery in Dallas for non-hockey reasons and for reasons we still don’t know about and then Pete DeBoer in San Jose for purely hockey reasons and more than likely goaltending reasons. Nathan MacKinnon makes 200 good hockey men weep as he states he would take less money again. We wonder how much that is and how does he stack up compared to the rest of the league. The Hoffmans are both bonkers. Man v 8 Year old and a ton of other guff. Please rate, review and subscribe. Thanks a lot.

Starters and Scratches incl Moonwalking kids giving financial advice and Half and half jerseys. Then onto the news. David Pastrnak is ridiculous. John Hynes is gone and what do the Devils do now and what does Taylor Hall do now? We round up all the information following the Babcock/Peters news. Peters gone. Francis is fighting for his job already in Seattle. More stories from Babcocks former players. Jamie LeBlanc is fired. Marc Crawford is under investigation. Then the on-ice news. The Habs are in trouble and the Hulk is getting pressured. Why Bergevin can not be fired for the sake of the human race. Could they make a move for Taylor Hall and what would it cost? Somehow an NHL team was undermanned this week thanks to cap issues. The Blackhawks are going to be in big trouble next year when 2 big contracts kick in. The Leafs could also be in trouble if anyone gets injured. Cale Makar has already been given the Calder but Quinn Hughes is being short changed and we look at the numbers. Makar was a surprise choice at 4 overall in his draft and he wasn't even predicted top ten. Honka and Puljujarvi are not coming back from Europe anytime soon and Mark Borowiecki is a superhero. We get to the bottom of this story and work out who the real thief was. Man v 8 year old is reaching stupid levels and all the usual guff. Please rate and subscribe. Thanksssssssss
28th Nov 2019 – EP 92. This week Dan and Will wonder about the last decade. Smooth recap. Winning the cup/Getting relegated. Starters/Scratches incl Keith Yandle. Angry men being hilarious and four goal leads. In the 2nd part of our interview with Ken Dyson we talk about being a hockey parent and the Bruins-Habs rivalry. There were only two pieces of news we felt worth discussing this week. The department of player safety is a joke and the 4 game suspension for Bortuzzo is stupid and can cause repercussions. Why the league still needs policeman like Ryan Reaves. Then onto the can of worms that opened after Mike Babcock decided it would be a good idea to make a 19 year old slate his team mates then tell them. This lead onto the Bill Peters situation. We talk about all of it in depth and the massive problem surrounding hockey at every level in regards to hazing, sexual misconduct and abuse of power. This was a heavy one at the end so thanks if you stick through it. Don’t forget to rate review or subscribe.

Garnet Hathaway is an animal and I explain why being punched is better than being spat on. Our interview this week is with Habs fan Ken Dyson. He joins us to discuss living in that market. What it does to the players and the reasons for the Montreal/Toronto rivalry. Then onto the news. The Leafs have a new coach if you didn't know. Are the Sens better than the Leafs. The Flames are in trouble so they should trade their most skilled player. Zac Rinaldo is the saviour. Why is no one talking about how bad the Preds are?

Then onto the news with the Hurricanes being good. Rod the Bod on how he has that bod and gets the players to play for him. Also how he picks up cars and punches rocks.

What will Taylor Hall do and where could he go if he decides to leave. The Blues visit the White House and neither of us can link sports to being a Patriot. Would anyone care if they didn't go.
