This week Riot & Laura rank the players Halloween costumes on effort, creativity, style and how well they filled out the pants. We also discuss why Swedes don’t know how to candy, nothing is scarier than Don Cherry answering question, Tkachuk’s goal of the year and we forgot to answer the “ok Boomer” question because it took too long for Riot to explain Vine’s to Laura.

This week Kate and Kyra talk about the Heritage classic and how it was apparently not advertised at all, Sidney Crosby taking a puck to the face, which players we’d most like to have propose to us, which players we’d want to listen to do a podcast and about what, and many more of your asks!

This week Laura joins Mike from @itsahockeynight podcast live in Pittsburgh…but on Skype to discuss: how we (with an assist from Jack Johnson) helped to end the Pens 5 game win streak, do the Devils celebrate a win by dressing up as the cast of Top Gun? Which players could transition to other sports? The only think that can stop the Stars curse is a Hocus Pocus level spell – what do Sequin, Benn & Radulov throw into the cauldron? And finally Laura has devised the perfect way to land all the problematic NHLers in jail – you’re welcome.

Laura is joined by friend of the pod Martha (Aderam) and we celebrate women's hockey MsUnderestimated style - who is women's hockey royalty, who's the Becky with the good hair, free lobster rolls - yes please!! Also our suggestions for how to make a women's hockey league better than the NHL.

Happy Thanksgiving Westimated listeners! This week we’re tackling what crawled into Drew Doughty’s jock and died, James Neal’s Big Troll Energy, all the dick jokes you can make with a bottle of ketchup, Jamie Benn’s mercurial intelligence, dog Christmas presents, who we’d swap bodies with for 24 hours, which goalies we want to fight, and what you can find in John Tavares’ backpack.

This week Riot and Laura talk: Tavares wants you to know Freddie is a unit – also he’s captain, but seriously have you seen those shoulders? Geno needs to unclench and he’ll be fine, Dylan Larkin’s ass broke the internet and he did it without implants, what’s on Jamie Benn’s bucket list and finally how many Christmas presents does Seguin buy his dogs?

In this bonus episode Kate, Kyra, Laura and Riot talk about all the Auston Matthews scandals - from Pablo to boys will be boys to does he get to be Captain Underpants. Listener, get ready for some serious feels!!

This week on WESTimated join Kate and Kyra as they talk new RFA contracts, the Saddledome's serious upstairs downstairs quality difference, players' bucket lists, who looks like an alien, what qualities make a good captain, Sid getting choked up, and Gritty being an adolescent.

This week Riot & Laura talk: Jack Eichel really couldn’t live without the phone app … on his phone, John Tavares learns Toronto slang, which players never empty the dishwasher, what to do when your fav is traded to the Sens & obviously Tuukka Rask is an alien.

This week Laura joins Kate for a supersized Westimated episode featuring but not limited to: Sid’s taste in dramas, Brady Tkachuk’s current size, Auston Matthews’ unisex bag, Tyson Barrie playing pub games, players of colour not being interchangeable, Tyler Seguin’s car, that Rossi article about Geno being a big squishy man, and of course Mitch Marner being shocked people talk shit about his dad.
