This week Producer Connor sits in the hot seat as Ann's cohost. The two discuss all the big developments from the last PBR week including Matthew Woods' hot start in the NHL and some oddly interpreted goal rules when the net is off it's moorings.

The last PBR week was a rough one. One point (out of 6) for the Predators cooled off the hopes of continued success. Ann and Shaun break down the decision to send Brady Martin back to the OHL. The gang also discusses Steven Stamkos's comments about identity as well as separate comments about how to fix the power play.
