More then ready for the regular season to begin, Ian Mendes and Sean McIndoe discuss Sean's piece on hope for the NHL's bottom feeder teams. Next, a recap of the annual Board of Governors meeting, including discussions about the rise of the salary cap, possible expansion, and international best on best competition. Then, Jesse Granger is back for "Granger Things", to discuss potential goalie breakout candidates to round out your fantasy hockey team. Also, a preview of the annual DGB season prediction contest before it drops on Friday. Then, to wrap it all up, listeners came through strong with realignment ideas and 200 hockey men commandments, and a look back with "This Week in Hockey History".
