In this lightly edited, re-recorded episode, the gang are all over the place and it's magical. We talk of Tukka Rask and Tuukka Catsk, Geoff's 14-week-old kitten who alternately loves and wants to kill him. We skip the Game of the Week but do talk about how to call emergency services, Kirk Luedeke, perennial losers in the NFL, floating goats, and why the movie "Big Trouble" didn't work despite having a good cast, decent base material, and a competent director. We have a prop bet and Bear Necessi...
This week we have a special guess filling in for Geoff and Anthony. Lots of discussion on our Game of the Week, the problems with the power play, and player issues. We have a couple of shoutouts to fans near the end. All in all, it's a good time.
This week we throw our format out the window and start discussing the young goaltenders, Malcolm and Zane, with a dose of worry about Tuukka. Next up, we talk about David Pastrnaks suspension. Was it warranted? Was it just too much? Is this how it's going to be now? (Warning, there is some anger and copious amounts of cursing.) As always, we end with Bear Necessities because one thing's for sure, the Bruins don't want us to have healthy livers.

How are the younger players affecting the veteran players? What will happen when Vatrano returns? We have lots of questions and many answers.
