The Chicken Finger Dilemma
Welcome to episode 5 of Important Hockey Information! And Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to all of our Canadian listeners. We talk about some Canadians we're thankful for, our reactions to the newly announced PWHL expansion team jerseys, the Macklin GQ article, and share some early-season gripes and groans. We recap last week's Important Hockey Game of the Week - Stars v Sabres, and preview this week's - Leafs v Mammoths (10/13). Please comment if you think Jana is eating too many chicken tenders. As always, thank you for tuning in for Important Hockey Information!

Trying to Keep the Whimsy Alive (The Tarot Episode)
Clairvoyance is the theme of the show. We chit-chat about some hockey news (and a brief LeBron check-in, of course), but spend most of the ep predicting the future - Will the Sharks make the playoffs? Will Matvei Michkov live up to his promise? What does an upside-down 3 of Wands mean for the vibes of the NHL this season?? Tune in, it's the Tarot Episode!
