This week in anguish: - Breaking news! Elias Pettersson is a sensational hockey player and a pretty darn cool human being. You heard it here also, folks. - Erik Gudbranson followed the hockey code to a T, and we hated every minute of it. We go on a winding journey through hockey violence with stops at Rick Rypien, Brian Burke, and *blech* Brad Marchand. - We check in with the Belfast Giants, celebrate Patrick Dwyer's attempted pants goal, and make the podcast's most tenuous Canuck connection yet. - We were happy to see the Canucks put their roster moves where their mouth is and waive Sam Gagner. Then Ardella immediately had an attack of conscience and hopes no one's feelings are hurt. Thanks for listening! If you liked the show, tell a friend.

While the Nat's away... Coombs is absent but has a note so Mike slips into the still-warm host chair and by popular demand he and Dan are joined by the master of sports production and Americarnage's first ever repeat-guest, Erik Janssen. More worryingly, they're also joined by Vladimir Putin who outlines his views on the London riots and tackles the NBA round-up. In other news: Breakfast cereals; Dan's neighborhood kicked off but Erik's didn't; pre-season games in the NFL and plenty of new faces; Cam Newton looks useful; Ndamakong Suh gets a call from Shawn Michaels; Jay Cutler is rubbish; Carlos Zambrano has a hard time making up his mind; dog-days in baseball and is the MLB season out-of-control long?; Sidney Crosby is still out of action; Mike Comrie scores; Rick Rypien tragically found dead at his home in the second off-season death this year; the KGB does NBA; new game: sporting dish of the day; a little dose of Nat in the previously-recorded section 'what happened next'.
