Jeff and Elliotte circle around the NHL to touch on a number of headlines since we last spoke a week ago. They talk about Antti Raanta situation with Carolina (8:46), the Stefan Noesen hit on Juraj Slafkovsky that pulled him out of the game (13:26),  and the continued goalie issues with New Jersey (18:07). Jeff and Elliotte dig into the Matt Murley-Elias Pettersson rumour about how he would want to go to Chicago and play with Connor Bedard (30:11). The guys also talk about Ethan Bear officially signing with the Washington Capitals (40:20) and Elliotte mentions some upcoming free agents that could be signed in the new year (42:53).

The guys answer your questions in the Montana’s Thought Line (47:31) and Sarah Nurse of the PWHL joins Jeff and Elliotte ahead of the league's opener next week (1:09:51).
