A brand new season for the boys at FaceOff Hockey has begun. And what better way to kick it off than with an NHL return! Jan. 13 will start the 56 game sprint for Lord Stanley. Yes, it’s actually official this time. What teams will be the best suited for a short season and what teams can’t afford any hiccups? We start the discussion.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have made some noise signing Jan Rutta and Erik Cernak, but at the same time, something fishy might be going on with Nikita Kucherov and LTIR. Conor Sheary signs in Washington, Duclair signs in Florida, and there’s still a handful of quality players available.
The Toronto Maple Leafs and the meaning of what “depth” actually means were brought up. Gio went off on a rant and the boys had little to say about it, but agreed. Esteemed guest, Tomas Rickus makes his 2nd appearance and he drafts, with the boys, their all-time starting lineups in both the NBA and NHL.
A jam-packed episode with these topics and more this week as we inch closer to puck drop and the studio!
