Robert is on the road. Sean is back from the road.

The guys start out (4:55) by reviewing the offer sheets that hit lately and how the threat of offer sheets allows players like Mavrik Bourque to get bigger deals. as well as some questions about some Jason Robertson rumors.

Rachel Flanagan joins the shows (24:49) to discuss her recent week coaching at the Dallas Stars' development camp, her journey through the coaching ranks, what she's learned about her own coaching craft, and the decision to begin coaching in the pro game to begin with. (Not to mention playing hockey in England!)

The show wraps up (1:05:31) with a teaser for August 11 and some discussion about the new 84-game schedule and NHL economics.

In today's bonus episode, Sean and Robert chat with Will Morlock, the Director of Athletic Performance for MSU's men's hockey program.

Morlock discusses his work with players like Thatcher Demko and Porter Martone, how strength work is very different for goalies vs. skaters, and how to prescribe workouts that build strength and protect players.

The conversation also touches on the difference between strength and power, who shaped his own development as a coach, and some of his own World Cup picks as a former soccer goalkeeper.

Robert is in a dark corner of Frisco. Sean is on top of everything else, as usual.

In a compact live show to discuss free agency, the guys open by discussing why the NHL has so many more no-trade clauses than other major sports leagues.

Next, the guys go over the Mavrik Bourque trade, Patrick Kane's potential exodus from Detroit, the Jason Robertson and Thomas Harley fallout (or lack thereof), the huge Bowen Byram extension in Chicago, and most importantly of all: whether Jeffrey Viel is the new Tanner Jeannot.
