    thanks for the shoutout, Jay!

    I think the “dump-and-watch” is the system du jour, not simply a tactical decision by the guy with the puck. They aren’t having any success carrying the puck in, that’s for sure.

    Really liked the latest podcast Jay. Don’t think I have ever heard you so negative, but compared to my negativity, you’re still sunbeams and rainbows!

    I am more grumpy than usual, because I coughed up $130 to follow the Avs on GCL (finally available for UK) and I find myself watching every game (bar one) and getting my hopes up, only to have them dashed.

    Anyway, love the pod and you and Tapeleg have a fun chemistry together.

    Hope the family is well,

    All the best,

    Phil
