In this episode, Boomer and Tommy talk about the Tampa Bay Lightning & their 2026-27 preseason campaign. They discuss Captain Victor Hedman, how he's lost weight, how he looks faster & stronger, and what type of season he'd need to have to satisfy fans...

Boomer and Tommy also talk about which young forward will make the roster out of training camp...will it be Sam O'Reilly? Conor Geekie? Jansen Harkins? Dylan Duke? Benjamin Rautiainen? Jakob Pelletier?

Finally, the conclusion of the episode is a drawing from the ThunderBucket. This week's prompt was this: If you could go back & listen to the mic'd up audio of one moment in Lightning history, which moment would you choose?
