The Balinskis In Your Court

USA.  Canada.  Sweden.  Finland.  Long ago, the Four Nations lived in harmony.  Then everything changed when the tournament rosters were announced.  Jacob, Alex, and TJ are back to discuss the highs, lows, and surprises of the freshly released Four Nations Face-Off rosters.  Alex gives his take on Spencer Knight's recent performances.

Jacob and TJ discuss a few recent losses (and why they shouldn't concern you), the Eastern Conference playoff picture (no, seriously), and what is happening to the Boston Bruins.

Jacob, Alex, and TJ recap a wildly successful Finland trip, the Panthers' defense, and Sam Reinhart's incredible start to the season.

The captain is back!  Jacob, Alex, and TJ discuss the New York road trip, Aleksander Barkov's triumphant return, and some fun facts about Finnish NHL players.

They lost 5-1 but it's October...

Jacob, Alex, and TJ discuss the polar performances of Spencer Knight, the Panthers' ownership of the Boston Bruins, the fruitful reunion of Sam Reinhart and Anton Lundell, and the very touching tribute to the lives of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau

The season has begun, the banner has been raised, and Carter Verhaeghe signed an 8-year extension.  Jacob, TJ, and Alex discuss a very eventful night surrounding the Panthers' 6-4 win over the Boston Bruins to open up their Stanley Cup reign.

Jacob and TJ are back to predict the Atlantic Division standings for the 2024-25 season and discuss who else around the league might still be playing hockey in late April (spoiler: Ottawa won't be there)

The Stanley Cup Defense season starts NOW!  Jacob, TJ, and Alex tell (some of) their Stanley Cup sighting stories from the summer, argue about real estate terminology, touch on the 2024 Prospect Showcase, and pay their respects to Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau.

Free agency has begun!  Jacob, TJ, and Alex discuss the first crop of the Florida Panthers' UFA signings and what holes still need to be filled.  Jacob has a theory about Bill Zito's scouting strategy.  The boys also take a quick look at some notable signings around the league and TJ and Jacob forget the same player's name mere moments apart.
