    Preseason Chemistry, Hughes Drama & Comment Reactions

    Hockey season is back, and the guys record with a game on in the background. They react to the first two preseason games, including the loss to Calgary's veteran-heavy lineup. They talk about Novotny getting sent down to the CHL and why it makes sense, Bains and Coots showing chemistry, Lekkerimaki's assists, Schenn's hits, and Braeden Cootes' mindset about earning his spot. Hronek and Oleksiak also get a look. They read your comments on the underdog rebuild and who should be the next captain (as long as it's not a goalie), and remind you the season bets contest is still open for a shot at free stuff. Around the league, they cover the Quinn Hughes situation in Minnesota, Connor McDavid's future in Edmonton, a Kraken holdout, another RFA's six-year deal, and Winnipeg trolling their own fans. They also discuss how the PWHL is taking over CBC's Saturday night slot. Plus, Lankinen's workload, power play struggles, and a Canucks fan in a Saddledome farewell jersey.
