CHT Episode 13: Instantly Obsolete

The regular season is starting! This week, your hosts take a look at several big news stories surrounding the Oilers, make slightly outdated analyses of the Ducks and Sharks’ training camps, and try to make the Kings feel more included in this California-based podcast. Penn, being the one writing these shownotes, also has the added job-perk of being able to dedicate this episode to the one and only Dan Boyle, who retired this week. Also the Oilers just signed Kris Russel, making the discussion that took place during a segment of this show pretty much obsolete.
