Darren admires Conroy's ability to find a diamond in the rough and it's helping the Flames' solidly middle-of-the-road start to the season. Meanwhile further north, the Oilers just can't get going (even with McDavid's miracle-working medical team). But just how long can they let that go on before it's too late.

In Cellys and Scorn the guys question the new PWHL team names, Stu criticizes fans that think booing the refs is in their best interest, and Darren shouts out CapWages as the Capfriendly alternative we needed, even if it isn't the one we deserve.

It's been a really long offseason for our guys (although not quite as long for the Flames, and even less so for the Oilers) so there is a lot for them to talk about. Draft picks galore for the Flames, roster changes, contract shenanigans, questionable back office changes, and very high hopes... for one of the teams anyway.

Of course the long-awaited (for somebody surely) Cellys and Scorn involving Utah's new hockey team (that you may or may not be able to see, depending on where you're sitting in their arena) and an appreciation for the hockey community coming together in times of sadness.

This episode is dedicated to Johnny Gaudreau, Matthew Gaudreau, and Stephen Jones.

Darren hit the nail on the head with his prediction for the Oilers results in October, but neither of the guys were anywhere close for the Flames. Time to find out if they've learned their lesson for November. Plus Cellys and Scorn lead to the guys dreaming of everybody's favorite Canadian owning an NHL franchise.

The guys discuss how wrong they are (so far) this year with the Oilers weak start and the Flames surprising win to start the season, a first in a very long time. Plus plenty of jersey talk, complaining about board ads, and some special tributes round out the Cellys and Scorn.

The guys discuss how the Oilers usually start strong and the Flames... struggle to start. Plus for Cellys and Scorn, the guys dip their toe into the Hockey Canada madness.

The Flames lose yet another one of their biggest players, but are they really as bad off as that sounds? Only time will tell... but that doesn't stop the guys from endlessly theorizing.

Johnny walked... to NJ? Nope. Philly? Na-ah. Columbus... Really? The guys breakdown both AB teams offseason so far.

The Avs have finally lived up to BOA Podcast hype and won the cup. But the guys spend their time telling the Flames and Oilers GMs how to handle the offseason.
