We are back! We say that a lot. We know, but with the season starting it is time to refocus. To jump back in we overview some big talking points through the offseason so far. All in preparation for the beginning of the new year. We missed you. And hope you enjoy

This week became a discussion about the importance of goaltending and where Cup Contenders stand in terms of their goalie tandems. We are past the days of one goaltender leading the charge. Each team now needs a quality starting netminder and a quality backup or 1B goaltender that can take a 20+ game load off of the starter to provide quality depth for a long playoff run. Where do the contenders stand with their goaltending? Find out! 

This week is the first of, undoubtedly, many weeks of trade deadline preparation. Keep tuning in for more updates as we move forward. 

Official reviews, removal of the shootout?, Increasing Salary cap and more. As well as, a preview of the next episode of War Room where we preview the Trade Deadline.
