Trevor introduces this week's crew at the Neutral Zone Hotel: Alex, Jess, and SJ
1:53 The crew discuss the first ever NHL preseason games in Australia, played this week between the Kings and Coyotes, in an arena three times the size of Arizona's home building!
15:29 The crew talk about how awesome it was that two NHL teams finally had some female coaches behind the bench for preseason games, and Jess presents the NHL with a timetable for hiring its first non-male head coach. Tick tick tick.
23:09 The crew discusses WHL coach Kevin Constantine allegedly using a racial epithet at a player.
32:47 The crew tries to figure out what constitutes a reasonable contract for Steven Stamkos at this point in his career.
53:31 It's time to Remember Some Guys(tm) by playing a round of Crack-a-Pack. In Crack-a-Pack, Trevor uses nerd dice to choose a pack of hockey cards from his stash. Once he opens the pack, the crew has to talk about whatever players appear on the cards in the pack.
Neutral Zone Hotel is a production of the Neutral Zone Hotel Team.
