Lewis and Ryan reunite to reflect on the blockbuster Rantanen deal a few games in, before discussing the Kaprizov surgery news and checking in with Kulich, Kasper, W Smith, and Nazar from the rookie segment on Sunday's Megashow. Then the guys discuss some changes to the Philly powerplay and Askarov inching ahead in the SJ goalie race (at least for now), and wrap up with discussion of whether either of Ekman-Larsson's hot streak or Batherson's cold one are their true selves or just illusionary.
