With the 2026-27 NHL season set to begin tomorrow night, the guys deep dive into Jesse’s annual ranking of the top 45 goalies in the league, including the four who’ve separated themselves from the rest to land in the top tier. Plus, the guys have a great, in-depth conversation about Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill’s critique of defensive analytics in hockey, where hockey analytics are heading, and what it truly takes to build a premier front office.
