The Stanley Cup Defense season starts NOW!  Jacob, TJ, and Alex tell (some of) their Stanley Cup sighting stories from the summer, argue about real estate terminology, touch on the 2024 Prospect Showcase, and pay their respects to Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau.

Free agency has begun!  Jacob, TJ, and Alex discuss the first crop of the Florida Panthers' UFA signings and what holes still need to be filled.  Jacob has a theory about Bill Zito's scouting strategy.  The boys also take a quick look at some notable signings around the league and TJ and Jacob forget the same player's name mere moments apart.

WE DID IT!

The Florida Panthers for the first time EVER are Stanley Cup champions!

Alex, Jacob, and TJ are together at last to discuss the epic, dramatic, heart-stopping, anxiety-producing, mind-melting, unbelievably dramatic spectacle that was game 7. 

Both teams have won three straight, now we play one more, winner takes all.  Jacob, Alex, and TJ discuss the very strange game 6 that got us here.

The Edmonton Oilers beat the Florida Panthers in game 5 and now the Panthers' series lead in the Stanley Cup Final is 3-2.  Is it time to worry?  Jacob, Alex, and TJ have a spirited debated about it!

Put the brooms away, folks, we're playing 5.  Jacob, TJ, and Alex discuss the Oilers' offensive explosion leading to an 8-1 Panthers loss in game 4, but why Panthers fans don't necessarily have to be as worried as that may imply.
