With Brutes still in full blown vacation mode, the roles are reversed as James is forced to lead the discussions this week and inform Brutes on what he missed during his holiday. Brutes discusses his trip to Winnipeg to see the Jets and the enjoyable experience of seeing a game at Bell MTS Place. The guys discuss the mention of Alexander Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom on the hit Showtime series Billions, and the value of that scene to market the NHL. James also asks for Brutes' opinion on the Tampa Bay Lightning's season and where they rank in terms of the NHL's best teams of all-time, the greatest Lightning player of all-time, the recent struggles of Frederik Andersen, and if you could change one rule in the NHL, what would you change? The week wraps up with a quiz for Brutes about the leading rookie scorer of all-time from a handful of teams.
