Fusion; An Hockey Podcast

Not much happened this week, so we talk about the worst tweet of all time, Jim Little, and Mika Zibanejad. Then, we do a deep dive into the standings and wild card playoff push before a special trivia segment. Sponsored by Sandborne's Boys Subscribe and share! Twitter: @AlexMeleras @taiseifu

The dust has settled from one of the busiest trade deadlines of all time, so we discuss some of the biggest deals, including Pageau, Trocheck, Simmonds and Marleau, before moving on to the Canadiens' moves and the highly questionable mindset of Marc Bergevin, partially revealed through a recent interview with Mathias Brunet of La Presse.

The Maple Leafs lost to their own AHL team's zamboni driver, and also there were 16 trades this week. The Habs got swept by the Red Wings in their season series, Lehkonen was scratched, and Alzner was called up. We take a look at the TSN Trade Bait Board, and then it's the nameless standings segment. Send us your ideas for the name of the nameless standings segment! Sponsored by Sandborne's BoysSu...

Recap of the Habs skills competition and their 4 consecutive losses. Discussion about the Jason Zucker trade, the Bruce Boudreau firing, Evander Kane's dissatisfaction with the DOPS, Zack Kassian's kicking incident, Darnell Nurse's new contract, the Olympics, the Sedins, Jay Bouwmeester's scary episode, and of course, a check-in on the state of the standings.

The .750 dream is still alive thanks to a Kovalchuk-led 3-goal comeback against the Devils and a monster performance by Nick Suzuki against the Ducks. The Leafs and Kings made a trade, Byfuglien is done with the Jets, the Coyotes might be fined 5 million dollars, Elvis Merzlikins is the best goalie ever, and Alex Ovechkin refuses to stop scoring goals.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Cale Fleury have been assigned to Laval. Some people think Tomas Tatar should be dealt. Many people think Ilya Kovalchuk, Marco Scandella and Nate Thompson will be dealt. Zack Kassian signed a new deal, the Battle of Alberta is on high, the Seattle team has (probably) picked a name, the Coyotes are being investigated, and the Super Bowl is (checks watch) tonight.

Tomas Hertl wore a Justin Bieber mask, the electronic targets didn't work, and Green Day sent NBC into a frenzy. All in all, a pretty normal all-star weekend for the NHL. Sponsored by Sandborne's Boys    Subscribe on Google Play and iTunes!     Twitter:@AlexMeleras@taiseifu

Habs won twice and Cayden Primeau got his first career win! Two coaches got fired, Taylor Hall is definitely going to be traded somewhere, another racist incident involving Akim Aliu has come to the surface, Bettman has a plan to promote diversity and inclusion, Canada made lots of cuts to their junior team, and Taisei struggles to name "mystery goalie number nine".        #OskarStrong           ...

The Habs waived Emoji man but called up a child, broke their losing streak and played Ben Chiarot for half an hour, three games in a row. The Devils fired their coach, are probably going to trade Taylor Hall, and Hockey Canada released their preliminary roster for the World Juniors. Subscribe on Google Play or iTunes!

It was a pretty heavy week in the hockey world. Mike Babcock, Mitch Marner, Bill Peters, Akim Aliu, Michal Jordan, Ron Francis and Dan Carcillo are all in today's lineup, along with the Habs' recent failures, Robert Bortuzzo's recent vicious attacks, and Taylor Hall's potential trade spots. Subscribe on Google Play or iTunes!

We're recording on a Saturday?? Well, the Habs lost twice, the Leafs fired Babcock, Mike Commodore is very pleased about that, the Flames might fire Peters, Garnet Hathaway spat on Erik Gudbranson, the Sens are actually decent, the Sharks might be good again, the Stars are definitely good again, Nathan Beaulieu has thoughts about the Sabres, and Cale Makar doesn't think he's any good. Subscribe on...

Listen to some funky music before hearing us discuss how Bode Wilde is a pro, the Habs had another strong week, the Capitals are approaching a goaltending dilemma, Matt Calvert had a bad time, Kovalchuk won't play hockey for awhile, Mike Babcock might be out of work soon, Sidney Crosby is hurt, and Don Cherry is off your TV. Then listen to the same funky music again.

It snowed, the Habs are in a divisional spot after getting 5 out of 6 points this week, the lines are different, offside exists (for now), Taisei is upset about officiating and Alex is not upset about premature oles.

Taisei turns 18, Gallagher plays his 500th game, Toews has a good idea, Josi gets rich, Tarasenko gets hurt, and 2 Italian spices get traded for each other.

The Habs had an underwhelming week, Erik Gudbranson got traded, Mikko Rantanen's foot was facing the wrong way, everybody hates the points system and nobody knew there was an outdoor game.

This episode: Victor Mete (finally) scored a goal, Suzuki looks comfortable and confident, is Buffalo actually good, is Edmonton actually good, the Hughes brothers might have a family scrapbook, the Minnesota Wild are really, really bad, and we're now on Google Play!

This episode, we talk about Cale Fleury, the good teams, the bad teams, the Penguins' injuries, Zach Redmond, Cole Caufield, and Keith Kinkaid's emojis.

Today, we discuss the Canadiens' first two games, the goaltending struggles around the NHL, and experience a brief digression about ice cream toppings. Apologies for our poor connection at around 37 minutes in, we do our best.

In the first episode, we discuss the start of season, potential Habs roster cuts, and standings prediction
