Just when you were getting used to us, we go and throw a curveball at you. Introducing our official part-time/swing/fill-in guy Sam Phelps. He'll be covering for Nick, while Nick is travelling.

But, enough about Nick. In fact, forget him altogether. Nick who? Never heard of him.

Justin and SAM chatted this week about the Zammoth, the Yzer-plan, the Summer of Brad and much more. Sam was also put to the test with the NHL's version of the Masters!

All that and so much more of this edition of the Bottom Shelf Podcast!!

Welcome back for more tortur-I MEAN...Thanks for checking out another episode of the Bottom Shelf Podcast with Nick and Justin!

This week on the show; Justin's oldest daughter called an NHL team "The Angry Potato Chips (any guesses who she meant?), the boys chat about how much longer Red Wings fans can trust the Yzer-plan, and Nick tries to guess who is the NHL's equivalent of a Cy Young winner.

The boys are finally back after an unintended hiatus. Life happens, right?

What are they back to discuss? Probably too much. This may have kind of sort of resulted in the longest episode yet!

On the pod today: The Lost Episode, greasy 4th liners, Kucherov is unreal, Caufield is a gem, Matthews is in pain, Jack Hughes wants the golden goal puck, the Pacific Division is a steaming pile of ass and SO. MUCH. MORE.

Buckle up! Here we go with a whole lotta POD.
