Chapter 2: How have the Panthers improved their team recently?
We usually do this on Fridays off the rails with Doug. $5.95, $5.90. But please, just from all over the country, if you're listening, you can put the numbers up for me, Jakey, at some point, but I don't want just all Leafs. We've done enough Leafs. I can scream about Gavin McKenna again if you want, but Less Leafs, more other teams, other Canadian teams. So Texas, 590, 590.
And we'll get into all of them when we get finished with Doug in the second half of this hour. So there you go.

Chapter 3: What is the latest on Sergei Bobrovsky's potential trade destinations?
A lot of pressure, guys. I know at the end of the day, I know they get paid big bucks too, but this is a ā and Doug couldn't attest to this too. He'd probably be still working if he ā Oh, don't go. I can go there. Come on. What, if he took Kopitar? I'm not mentioning names. I'm just generalizing. If he would have zigged instead of zagged. there could be a chance he could still be working.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of Jason Robertson declining a mega-deal?
He probably told five people to F off along the way, too, that he shouldn't have.
Listen, I'm not going to do the full Doug McClain impression because I don't really have that. I got Babs, but I don't got Doug. But, like, lots of other teams passed on him, too.

Chapter 5: Why is Zach Werenski crucial for the Columbus Blue Jackets?
Not tough beans. I'm more sensitive than that.
That's not true. That's simply false. But, I mean, it is, you know, unfortunate that, This kid is not, it's not like Morgan Riley, who's like, here's my four-sheet teams. I acknowledge it's time to go. He was like, signed for seven years, don't want to be anywhere else. Kind of blew up last year at the deadline.
And then sounds like everyone else found out he might be available, and so there was interest.
Chapter 6: How is the Atlantic Division shaping up for next season?
But now, like, we're hearing that he was actually in packages to go. They were prepared to move on from him. Weird to go back to your team, no? When you know that they tried to trade you? Like, they actively tried to make it happen.
I will not deny that putting my 60-year-old self today back when I was 24, 25, and how it would make me feel. Yeah. Not that they've done something wrong by doing it. I'm just saying it sucks.

Do you have a relationship? I don't think Cech has done anything wrong.
I just think it's a... Is he tight with Shane Doan?
I don't know. I think he's buds with Josh. Arizona ties. Oh, God. I didn't even think of that. I'm ruined. I'm ruined. I didn't even think of that. I got Mac.
All the way from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo. No, we're not finding you at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo. Doug McClain, everybody.
