After a difficult couple of days, Jeff is back in the studio and Elliotte is back from Winnipeg. The guys discuss the spectacle that is Jets hockey in Winnipeg and what Patrik Laine’s next contract could look like, plus the growing controversy around goalie equipment and more.

Also, Ryan O’Reilly stops by the studio to talk off-season training, offer sheets and being a St. Louis Blue.

This episode is dedicated to Ed Marek, Jeff’s father, who passed away Oct. 23. “Ed was a great hockey fan, taught me all about it as a kid and drove me to countless chilly rinks. After 86 years he decided it was time to share the view. And it was time to be with mom again.”

Rest In Peace, Ed.
