The start of the NHL regular season is less than four days away, training camp is winding down and we are all over it on the 50th Episode of AFITC. We recap the past three preseason games against the Habs and two against the Sens and discuss who have been standouts, disappointments and bubble boys throughout training camp.

We also backcheck as we follow up on stories covered in Episode 2.3 including Zherdev’s contract, Malkin’s injury status and Brendan Morrow. The Redline Report concludes with a variety of stories elsewhere around the NHL.

On The Bubble features listener email and an interview with Ian Kubitza from Hearts of Fire – The Calgary Flames Hockey Podcast. Rigamarole discusses who needs to get in gear prior to the season opener on October 4th.

We also did an interview with Scott and Jay of the Dallas Stars Podcast regarding Eastern Conference predictions, Eric Lindros and the Maple Leafs among other topics. Tune into to hear that interview on their show starting Monday morning.

Sens Underground - Season 2: Episode 1

Can you believe it's been 3 months?

What can we say...  It's been an incredibly busy off season. If you haven't checked out our site, there have been a lot of changes.

And speaking of changes, just look at our roster with the loss of Havlat and Chara to name but 2.

We hand in our first week essays: "What I did on summer vacation".

We're trying to keep the shows a bit shorter but bear with us, this was our first try...

We give you a pre-season review and our predictions, player of the week and of course your great E-mails.

Check out our new segment "News from around the league", where we quickly run through the week's major NHL news.

In "Behind the Jock", we review the moves the Sens made in the off-season and break down this year's team player by player.

And of course everyone's favourite..."Sucking like Jenna" where we discuss what really sucked in the NHL this week (or in this case a few weeks ago).

Welcome back and Go Underground!

With the preseason well under way, we bring you recaps off the Leafs first three exhibition contests against Buffalo, Ottawa and Montreal as well as the rest of the stories coming out of Leaf training camp. We also share our thoughts on Leafs TV’s coverage of the preseason so far. A few contract signings and a report on Evgeni Malkin’s first NHL action round out the Redline Report. On the Bubble features more listeners email and a discussion regarding some of the atrocious jerseys teams are debuting. Rigamarole takes a look at how the Leafs will carry on without Tie Domi.

Don’t forget to get your emails in quickly to sign up for the AFITC Fantasy Hockey Pool.
