On today's episode of This is Moose Country, Scott and Brad break down a massive Quebec road swing – wins over Moncton and Blainville, an OT point in Rouyn-Noranda, and a tough one in Val-d'Or – including a wild 7–5 win where the special teams finally caught fire, and third-overall pick Malik L'Italien had a breakout night.

They also chat about the upcoming games in November as well as the heartbreak felt across Canada with the Blue Jays going down in game 7 of the World Series.

Then they're joined by two of the guys leading the charge this season: Forward Liam Kilfoil and defenceman Eddy Doyle.

They dive into:

• What that road trip felt like from inside the room and why the Blainville win was a "we're legit" moment

• The transition to Brad MacKenzie as head coach and how the staff keeps the group loose but dialed in

• Liam's wild broken-nose story

• Eddy's draft year: prospects game, scout meetings, and balancing NHL and NCAA interest

• Liam's invite to Detroit Red Wings development camp — lining up against Larkin, Raymond and Kane, and a sit-down with Steve Yzerman

• The reality of chasing the dream: NCAA commitments, CHL/NCAA rule changes, and different paths to pro hockey

• Eddy's summer grind in Tignish
