Episode 158 – Here we go again

<p>When the host goes AWOL, the podcast EBUG gets called on. </p>

<p>Marty (eventually), John and Aaron are joined by surprise guest host Anthony Russell (BOTW) to bring you this week’s show because apparently we needed someone else to keep the wheels on.</p>

<p>With the 2026/27 season finally here, we dive into the first pre-season action and give our early thoughts on what we’ve seen so far.</p>

<p>We also get stuck into:</p>

<p>Manchester Storm’s BIG homecoming crowd<br />

The latest rule changes<br />

NHL expansion</p>

<p>Philadelphia’s new arena<br />

The latest jersey releases<br />

AI and its growing place in hockey<br />

And, of course, our all-important predictions for the season ahead</p>

<p>Plus, plenty of the usual Door 14 chat, opinions, and questionable takes along the way.</p>
