  • Great podcast.
    Touched all bases.
    And yes, let’s hope they bust their humps for these last two preseason games. They do need that positive momentum. Much thanks to you, Mr McCagg and of course Mr Lu.
    Fun cast.

  • Great work!
    100 pts I say, 0-6 is ok cuz the coach has the players attention and hopefully they are focusing on details that will help when it counts. Agree the defense isn’t as good but I think AG BG Hudon will score and help the offense be better. Also PP1 gonna win a few games too.

  • Lernout is not a disappointment in my books. He is not waiver eligible so sent down but will be a solid 5/6 guy soon. 8.5 million is good but not much available, Nic leddy would be my number one choice but price would be high.

  • Another great podcast. Great hearing John Lu. Still believe that 8.5 mil in cap room will play a huge part in what this team becomes overall this year.

    • Thank you, and John is also a subscriber. That’s what friends do. A great caring human being besides being a hell of a smart hockey guy.

  • I don’t know if they was mentioned anywhere but is there a specific day of the week that the podcast is released?
    Keep up good work!

    • No actually there isn’t Dom. It is about the availability of the guests and revolves around the news of the moment, and also the shelf life of it too. A lot of factors so no, it’s pretty arbitrary.

  • I think that you are putting too much emphasis on Markov. Last year, he had to pinch 95% of the time because he couldn’t skate backward anymore. Anyway not at NHL pace. The offensive part of his game will be replace by the other guys being better than Emelin and Beaulieu especially by Meete
    I agree with Grant that the defensive will be better this year and the offensive too will be better with Drouin.
    So I predicts 106 point for the CH
