For the sake of Buffalo fans, whose team finally fired coach Ralph Krueger, we take a look into the future of some franchises who we see as potential contenders three years from now. We also dive into an incredible night for Jamie Drysdale and Trevor Zegras who each notched their first career goals in our game of the week. Throw in some hilarious winners and losers and it was a great episode recorded from new locations in Colorado and New Jersey. Enjoy!

It's been ANOTHER disastrous season in Buffalo. Jeff Skinner is being healthy scratched, Eichel is having a down year, Hall isn't putting the puck in the net. The fans, who have been waiting over ten years to see playoff hockey again, are beginning to lose interest and care for the team. Pundits and media sources around the league are even starting to take notice, highlighting how  bad the effort it is on a nightly basis from a team that based on talent should be so much better. So what can the team do? Matt and Adam gives their thoughts, then move on to discuss everything from Binnington's temper tantrum to Patrick Kane's 400th. Enjoy!

The big focus this week were the outdoor games played in Lake Tahoe between the Avalanche and the Golden Knights plus the Bruins and the Flyers. However, the outdoor games weren’t the only spectacle, as stars like Matthews, Mcdavid, Kane, and Crosby all shined in a wonderful week for the NHL. Enjoy!

Mismanagement was the theme of the week as horror stories from big companies in the North and South took over the news. Matt and Adam discuss how Bell Media Company and the Arizona Coyotes found themselves in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Then, we dive into some of the funnier stories from around the NHL, including Rask's stroll to the bench, massive roster turnover, new management for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the upcoming games in Lake Tahoe. (and so much more) Enjoy!

The first star of this week in the NHL is the...bench?! Yup. Between John Tortorella's insistence on continuing to bench his star players and the NHL's new COVID protocols which have removed the glass from behind the teams' benches (but not in the penalty box, for some reason), it was a big week for the ole wooden plank. Special Bonus: Matt learns about red beer and HIPAA. Enjoy!
