With our fearless host Mike off exploring the pasta, wine, and history of Italy for the next couple of weeks, Jake and JB are stepping up to keep the ship sailing—and the takes flowing. Just because one of us is living the dream doesn’t mean the hockey world slows down, and there’s a lot to cover this week.

In this episode, the boys dive deep into the latest buzz around the league, starting with some major recent signings that have already started shaping the upcoming season. From surprising contract numbers to teams making bold moves, Jake and JB give their unfiltered reactions and what it all might mean heading into the first puck drop.

Closer to home, they break down what the Boston Bruins' Game 1 roster might look like. Will the lineup bring the grit, speed, and skill fans are hoping for? Or are there still question marks that need answers? Whether you're a die-hard B’s fan or just love solid hockey talk, there’s plenty here for you.

And of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without a few classic stories from the rink—including some pickup hockey moments that were equal parts chaotic, hilarious, and painfully relatable.

Expect laughs, questionable takes, and that signature “gross hockey boys” energy we’ve built this show on.

Thanks as always for tuning in—we appreciate every one of you for riding with us. We’re fired up for the season ahead, and even with Mike overseas, the hockey talk doesn’t stop. Let’s go!

Oh and ya, keep an eye out for some more Gross Hockey Merch...
