James’ favorite hockey things since the last show:

Jagr Bobblehead Giveaway Postponed: 25,000 Jaromir Jagr bobbleheads are nowhere to be found. Going to be interesting to see where the story goes from here.

5 on 5 Goalie Madness: They know how to party in Bellingham, Washington. This sounds awesome. Here’s the link to a Reddit post as well.

Jay’s favorite hockey things since the last show:

Where are you going, Bo?: Bo Byram’s debut on Buffalo’s PP1 almost needed the Benny Hill theme music over the top of it. If you’re on X make sure to read the comments as well. Some great stuff in there.

Patrick Roy is a man of the people: Patrick Roy makes sure to take care of the fan behind the Islanders bench who is wearing a vintage Patrick Roy Avalanche t-shirt. Good hockey stuff.

“Chill, fellas.” – Big Z, probably: Mikko Rantanen and Cale Makar punish a Canucks player while trying to dislodge a puck that’s actually 150 feet away. Welcome to the league, kid.
