As the California teams are all out on road trips, your hosts ask themselves the important questions: Why are the Blue Jackets good? Who’s going to win the Pacific division? How do you pronounce Borowiecki? Does Joey have voodoo powers that affect Corey Perry’s skill level? Are the Kings a playoff team even with Jonathan Quick? Are the Senators the Sharks’ Eastern Conference rivals? These questions and more are discussed on this week’s episode. Does anybody even read these? I’m starting to think nobody does. I think I could make this a private diary space and no one would know.
