The RMNB Podcast is back after a three-week hiatus and we’re here to talk about all the important issues facing our new world like Why did Nintendo make so few NES Classics?
Wednesday night, literally 120 minutes before the Caps had their most emphatic victory of the season, former Capital Andrew Gordon and myself chatted about all the latest Caps gossip. But we also jumped head first into some other interesting topics like how angry do NHL coaches get behind the scenes (AKA do they really throw chairs?), how much money do NHL players actually make after taxes/agent fees/escrow, and what it takes to achieve maximum line chemistry.
And if you don’t care about any of that, we talk about President-elect Donald Trump. Hoooo boy.
Podcast
The RMNB Podcast is on iTunes. A positive rating would mean the world to us.
A few takeaways:
- I really, really want the $59.99 NES Classic — the tinier, more technologically advanced version of the original NES console — and spent the first 5 minutes of the podcast trying to order one. Amazon, Target, GameStop, Best Buy are all sold out of their inventory while everyday at 5pm, Walmart puts up a limited supply of the consoles up for purchase. Here’s, in screenshot form, what happened.

- Canada’s Immigration Website goes down for hours after US election
- Andrew Gordon played for Team Canada at the Deutschland Cup and talks about his experience. Canada finished second to Slovakia.
- My wife is having a baby and I try to explain what it’s like to feel real human emotions.
- This must be noted: If Gordo was an NHL GM, he would field an entire roster of Jay Beagles.
- Will the NHL actually walk away from the Olympics? Gordo talks about why the NHL’s current offer of letting the players go if the NHLPA extends the current CBA is a bad deal for the players.
- We take some reader questions.
- Can you tell I have a 101 degree fever while recording this?
