Sean and Robert are forced to do an entire show without shoving all the hard work onto a guest, so they just invoke Stephen Meserve's name about fifty times. They begin with Sandwich Corrections.

We get going (13:50) by discussing Chris Johnston's report about the Hurricanes discussing both Logan Stankoven and Jason Robertson during Mikko Rantanen trade talks with Dallas back in 2025.

The guys then spend the second half of the show (27:15) talking about how Carolina finally won another Cup championship, how the NHL built on the momentum of Four Nations with a better-than-expected postseason and Olympics, and the upcoming PWHL and NHL drafts.

There's also some musing about Mason McTavish and Mikael Granlund (50:38) when it comes to what the Ducks might do, as well as some digging into the evolution of the mobile defenseman/wingpack position in both soccer and hockey.

Robert and Sean have recorded a special treat: A bonus episode featuring NHL Network's Jason Demers!

Demers and the guys discuss some details the former NHL defenseman has noticed about an entertaining Stanley Cup Final, as well as how he moved from being an NHL player to an NHL media member.

Demers also shares some stories from his days playing with Brent Burns and Joe Pavelski, how he went from Dallas to Florida to Arizona, and why he has some concerns about the way the Dylan Larkin saga is unfolding.

Finally, Demers answers some questions from the guys about his international career, winning the Spengler Cup, and his days playing in Russia and Finland, as well as the most cursed Christmas video of all time.

Sean gives instructions on making sandwiches. Robert's internet slightly outpaces peanut butter.

The guys begin (7:30) by talking about Combine Scuttlebutt and quiz each other with their best draft combine questions.

Prashanth Iyer joins the show (29:00) to talk about Dylan Larkin's trade request, Steve Yzerman's seven years in the playoff-less wilderness, and what the Red Wings really need to become a perennial playoff team.

Sean and Robert wrap up (1:16:30) by discussing the polar opposites in desperate coaching candidates: Mike Babcock and Joe Pavelski.
