David is on vacation with his family, and we kick off the show with him and Ethan playing a good old-fashioned game of Jewish Geography before discussing Matthew Tkachuk gracing the cover of NHL 26. This week's wins and fails include Barbie releasing a hockey player doll, former Florida Panther David Booth tearing it up in Australia, the Seattle Kraken mascot narrowly avoiding a bear attack, and Leon Draisaitl ripping heaters at his wedding. Plus, that Taylor Swift lady is dropping ANOTHER album. Then, Dom Luszczyszyn of The Athletic joins the show to break down what goes into his analytic modeling of the NHL, which teams spend their money most efficiently, how improved the Carolina Hurricanes will be this year, and drops an incredible line about just how good the Florida Panthers are.
