It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 203 and we say goodbye, yet again, to Marc Andre Fleury aka Flower. Fleury suited up to play one period with the Penguins in the preseason one final time and we've got all of your expert coverage and commentary. The Islanders work out their high profile draft picks, the Rangers beat them in preseason OT, and the Devils march on through the preseason without their young star defenseman. We go over rule changes, the best and worst of the high profile free agents from 2017 through 2021, and get our buttholes tickled. Oops, I meant we got our anuses uh...well I guess that IS what I meant. So blast some Thong Song and also use your earbuds on noise canceling mode to listen to FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 203!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 202 and we are BACK for SEASON SIX despite everything you did to try to stop that. Phillies Karen came over and was like "that's my podcast" and we didn't buckle like some weak willed wuss father. We punched her so hard in the face that her glasses flew off and that's when we realized we actually punched Mike Francesa. They're practically the same person. So we talk about the offseason in the NHL, the new financial rules, the ongoing preseason, and uh, stuff like that. It's preseason and these blurbs are rusty too. But the show is full throttle so tune in for FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 202!
