In this episode of 32 Thoughts with Kyle Bukauskas (the hair) and Elliotte Friedman (the hot air), we kick things off with the Patrik Laine knee incident from Saturday night that left the Finn injured. They discuss whether Cedric Pare warranted further discipline. Afterwards, Elliotte gets into how important Matthew Knies is to the future of the Toronto Maple Leafs (25:50). Then, the fellas set up the Board of Governors meetings that go down Tuesday in New York (27:48). Kyle and Elliotte then unpack Drew Doughty's recovery timeline following successful surgery on his ankle (30:50).  Afterwards, the guys get into the fallout of the Penguins not making it to Detroit Saturday for their preseason game (49:37). The final thought focuses on Lindy Ruff showing off some personality and his Buffalo Sabres impressing in Munich, Germany (51:51). 

Kyle and Elliotte answer your questions in the Thought Line (56:25).

The fellas sit down with LA Kings Centre Quinton Byfield for an exclusive one-on-one interview (71:05).
