    The NHL's Preseason "Top 10 Goalies Right Now" List- Off Angle Episode #20
    Oct 30 2024
    In our first episode back in a couple weeks, we discuss Connor Hellebuyck and the Winnipeg Jets' hot start to the season, and why he and the team are so good to kick the season off. Then we comment on the NHL preseason's "Top 10 Goalies Right Now List", and whether we agree with all of the goalies on it. Thankfully, it's not as bad as we thought. Finally, we talk about playing pucks that are rung around the glass, and the pros and cons of doing so. We don't think it's the best idea. Thank you all for listening and the continued feedback-- we really appreciate it!!

    In this episode, we discuss the new contract offered by the Boston Bruins to Jeremy Swayman, and speculate on why he turned it down, and how much he actually may want.

Finally, we talk about Hellebuyck's tough preseason performance, and Austin reflects on a game in which he was involved in multiple fights, while giving up multiple goals.
