Bag of Pucks

In this week's episode, we form our starting lineup of players going into salary arbitration this summer. Not every player is a household name but we  look at some interesting cases and players that just might go into arbitration instead of settling beforehand.  Disclaimer: We kind of recorded at the same time as the Binnington signing so feel free to skip that section of the episode :) Follow us...

The boys (attempt to) recap a very busy Canada Day and NHL free agent frenzy. Forgive us for missing your team's most important signing or your favourite player moving to another team but we couldn't cover over a hundred signing in the hour we had to record :(  Plus, our thoughts on a few offseason trades (mainly Leafs trades for Geoffrey).  Follow us on Twitter here: https://www.twitter.com/BOP_p...

The rare and mythical offer sheet. No one has seen one in over 12 years but could this be the year where we finally see it again?

In this short and sweet episode, the boys argue over the need for video review/instant replay and question the hand pass rule. Also, we discover if Geoffrey is actually a Bruins bandwagoner or not... P.S. Sorry for the echoing in the recording. We were having a bit of trouble of the mic but we'll have it fixed for next time!

The guys are combining two of Alson's favourite things; Truculence and NHL Drafting.  In a special episode before they take a one week break, they draft like they've never drafted before.

In this episode of  the Bag of Pucks Podcast, the guys talk luck. They place way too much weighting on PDO and other fancy stats, while Alson learns how bad his idea of stats are.

How does Geoffrey know so little about slot machines? ...

In this episode the guys try to spit some hot takes.
