(Congratulation Mike and Alanna!). As the NHL season approaches, offer sheets are flying, and a big trade deal announced with Patrik Laine gives hope for Montreal fans as some fresh offense is exactly what they need. Speaking of Montreal, tough guy Arber Xhekaj joins the show with an unreal story about how he got his first contract and what to expect from him this year.
