We discuss the weird stuff on Jim's computer, the big coaching change in Ottawa and Padraig Harrington's incredible strategy to get kids into golf. And as Jim points out, Harrington's sage advice can be applied to many other situations with kids.

Is it too early for anyone to be on the hot seat? We get into the issue of holding people accountable in hockey. We also ask the question, should players hold the fans accountable when they boo after missing...

We recorded this on Halloween, so we looked back at some childhood memories; We discussed NHL Gambling and Shane Pinto; Matthew Perry's Passing; the tragic on-ice incident in Britain and the heritage game in Edmonton.
