  The boys discuss the look, sound and aesthetics of the NHL's season relaunch, from fake crowd noise to goofy NHL dad jokes to what we like and don't like about it. Plus, a series-by-series breakdown, expanding the playoffs, Draft Lottery Part 2, Matt Dumba's speech and the NHL's admirable but awkward racial activism, life in the bubble and the best and worst Nintendo characters. Sponsored by Mack Weldon!

We're Sean "Down Goes Brown" McIndoe of The Athletic and Ryan Lambert of EP Rinkside and this is a hockey podcast, in the sense that we talk about hockey, both on the ice and about fan culture. That’s the “puck.” This is also a podcast about movies, TV, fast food, life lessons and general idiocy. That’s the “soup.” Unless you ordered the minestrone.
