Episode 348: Quarantine Rewatch, Penguins vs Red Wings 2009

Greg Wyshynski joins the show to discuss the void left in our lives by the NHL’s “pause,” trying to talk about hockey when there’s more important things going on around the world, potential timelines and playoff formats when the league returns, and the biggest looming questions that have been left unanswered for now.

Episode 347: Stay home, listen to a podcast

Patrick Johnston joins the show to discuss the Vancouver Canucks, the flaws with teams that are overly reliant on their goaltending, building rosters with the ambition of making the Stanley Cup instead of just making the playoffs, GMs needing to appease meddling owners, Mike Gillis popping back up on the scene, and the NHL dealing with COVID-19 complications.

Episode 346: Process over Results

Arthur Staple joins the show to discuss the New York Islanders’ up and down season, why the way they play and the way they've built their team leaves them with next to no margin for error, and the behind the scenes of their busy trade deadline.

Episode 345: Live by the sword, Die by the sword

Emily Kaplan joins the show to empty out the trade deadline notebook, and help sort through all of the player movement we saw. We discuss the winners and losers, the prices that were paid, the teams that went for it, and the teams that we wish were more aggressive.

Episode 344: Trade Winners, Losers, and TBDs

Andrew Berkshire joins the show to discuss the players that are available at the trade deadline, the teams that need to make a move, and the best matches between the two.

Episode 343: Trades We'd Like to See

Mark Lazerus joins the show to discuss how the Chicago Blackhawks got stuck in the position they’re currently in, how they can control the trade deadline market if they decide to go that route, and how much of a bad defensive team’s struggles are the fault of the system versus the personnel.

Episode 342: Blackhawks Down

Uffe Bodin and Jonatan Lindquist join the show during Sedin Week in Vancouver to discuss the impact the Sedin twins had on young Swedes, the Canucks, the NHL, and the sport of hockey as it evolved into the skill game it is today. Plus some analysis on the Jason Zucker trade involving the Minnesota Wild and Pittsburgh Penguins.

Episode 341: Two of a Kind

Chris Mason joins the show to discuss the Nashville Predators’ rollercoaster season, how much things have and haven’t changed since the coaching switch, their identity crisis, how much they use their forwards, and how much the craft of goaltending has changed since he was in the league.

Episode 340: Predators or Western Conference Prey

Alex Prewitt joins the show to discuss a grab bag of topics that include the Sabres continued playoff drought and why their fanbase has understandably had enough, how Nathan MacKinnon’s shot took him to the next level, the pros and cons of the player tracking data the league unveiled during All-Star weekend, and Alex Ovechkin’s chase towards Gretzky.

Episode 338: Caller Duane

Kevin Woodley joins the show to discuss goalies, how dependant their performance is on the system in front of them, and the trouble with signing them to long-term deals during a time when the game is changing so much. Plus we talk about Robin Lehner’s next contract, how the Capitals should handle the passing of the torch in their crease, and the Rangers’ three-headed monster in net.

Episode 337: Card Carrying Member of the Goalie Union

Alison Lukan joins the show to discuss the surprisingly feisty Columbus Blue Jackets, the perfect marriage between their defensive system and their goaltending, the organization’s usage of analytics and John Tortorella coming around on it over time, and how they’ll be able to create offense without the luxury of an Artemi Panarin-caliber of playmaker doing it all himself.

Episode 336: Elvis is in the Building
