The Buds kick off the first show of 2019 by breaking down a disappointing 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild in the otherwise awesome Next Generation game. Then, Ryan talks Rob off the ledge over Freddy Andersen being on IR and emphasizes the long term plan for Freddy. Next, we discuss the Mitch Marner all-star 'snub' and wonder if it's really that big of a deal. Finally, we share our expectations for the rest of the 2019 season, name this week's Bums & Beauties, and give our Totally Unqualified Takes.
