January 1: Wishful Thinking?
Hosts Sarah Avampato (Locked On Kings) and Tom Gazzola (TSN 1260) check in on the alleged January 1 start date for the NHL. Is that even still realistic?

And we end with some optimism in the form of the buzz around the Seattle Kraken.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
