THE BOYS ARE BACK!

Unfortunately, this episode had to start with our thoughts on the Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau tragedy and how the hockey world moves forward. Cole Caufield changes his number to 13 to remember his hero.

While away, Laine got traded to Montreal and we were itching to discuss this topic. With him in the mix, we discuss the fit and how it may affect some lines. This week rookie camp kicks off which means main camp is around the corner and we look into some storylines heading into the preseason.

ODR (Outside Da Rink): Canada beats USA, John falsely predicts a Canada win over Mexico, and the NFL is back!

***We had some microphone issues so we apologize for the wonkiness of the audio at some points***

On today's show, Mathew and Papa open things up by talking about their last week, which obviously involves real estate. After always talking about the pros of managing properties, Papa gets into what the grind has been for him in the last few days as virtually all his AC units have been falling apart in this heat wave.

Once they finally start talking Habs puck, today was all about Mathew and Papa ranking their top 10 prospects respectfully. They ranked based on where they see all the prospects land once they peak. After all that, a little note on Patrik Laine.

Don't you dare think that Papa forgot about ODR this week where he updates on the Olympics as well as talks about the National Bank Open Tennis that is now officially on in Canada.

Reminder that we will be off until September 10th as Papa is crossing the pond and quite frankly, August tends to be the least busy month of the year.
