The 2023 NHL playoffs begin today! We spent well over an hour discussing each series at length. Mind you, we sprinkled some banter in as well, and had quite the heated debate about the North Stars. M…

We're about 3 weeks away from the 2023 NHL playoffs, which means we're all wondering why they haven't started yet. In the first half, we chat about the current playoff picture (among various random t…

It's an Emergency Podcast! Not really, but Bo Horvat happened to be traded 20 minutes before we started recording, so it's an emergency. We chat about the trade, cover a few league happenings, and co…

The past week was a lot of not good news. We cover a few of the items in question in the first half, along with some general good old fashioned trivia to start. In the second half we revisit our pred…
