Technical issues abound in this week’s episode of CHT. Speaking from three different times separated by outbursts directed at uncooperative audio tech, Joey and Penn break down all your Knights-related news, discuss a barrier just broken down in the NHL, and gush over Hampus Lindholm. Also on the docket: another Shark and Duck have made it onto World Cup rosters and the Sharks may need to find another assistant coach. Disclaimer: This episode contains much more salt than the jersey “worn” by Mitch Marner.
