The first coaching change of the NHL season feels imminent, Murat Ates on the Winnipeg Jets, and a dramatic reading gone wrong

Hailey and Sean talk about this weekend's USA-Canada Rivalry Series game in Seattle and wonder if a coaching change in the NHL will happen before then, in particular discussing D.J. Smith in Ottawa and the bizarre situation with Bruce Boudreau in Vancouver. Then, Murat Ates, Winnipeg Jets beat writer, joins the show to talk about the team no one is talking enough about, the Rick Bowness effect, Mark Scheifele, and getting angry at power rankings. Then to wrap up, a dramatic reading goes awry, and without listening, can you first guess who Sean will impersonate in this episode?
