We're a podcast so big you get a day off to listen to it repeatedly. Don't you love that? This week, Lance and Joe talk about the return of the Goathead and what a wonderful thing it is to see for a few reasons.

Oh, right -- Tage Thompson signed a seven-year, $50 million deal, too. Did we bury the lede here? Sure, but there's plenty to be said about the Sabres locking up a vital player from last season up long-term after one really big season.

UPL is back in the fold as well, and dang it, it's been a while since there was a bunch of goaltending talk. Is this a make it or break it deal for Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen?

Thanks as always for listening and supporting us on your favorite platform of choice. Help spread the word by raving to your friends endlessly about how great the pod is until they stop answering your texts. Then keep doing it some more.
