The boys break down all the trades from the NHL trade deadline, including the last minute blockbuster deal that saw the Capitals deal Jakub Vrana to the Red Wings. They are also joined by longtime minor-pro and collegiate linesman Jim Tofte. Jim shares some amazing stories about how he got into hockey and officiating, and how he has managed to maintain a 9 to 5 job while being an official for over 25 years. He also talks about how he sparked Jerry D\'Amigo\'s love for the game, what it was like to break up a fight with Rob Ray, and what it was like to experience the movie \'Slapshot\' on a nightly basis. This is one of the most packed episodes the boys have had, so sit back, relax, grab a beer, and enjoy!
