This one is a little bit longer but we promise it is worth it. Jake and Evan discuss our trade board for the impending trade deadline. Then we do deep dives into Thomas Greiss' extremism, Jamie Benn's appreciation for Candace Owens' transphobia, Tom Wilson's shithousery, and other things that make us mad at the NHL. But there are some high notes as well, the PWHPA debuts on nationa...

Sometimes the slimy Russian underbelly rolls over and exposes itself to the light. This week Evan and Jake dive in on the Artemi Panarin experience. They also chat about Claude Julien losing his job, Buffalo losing everything, a couple of returns in women's hockey with the PWHPA getting some much due airtime, and the NWHL's possible comeback from COVID, Jordan Binnington needing his binky,...

They talk about the Hockey Players of Color Movement and other good Black History Month hockey related resources. Also talked about is Mike Babcock as a molder of impressionable youths, Jake willfully eats crow about the Lake Tahoe games, and they then spend...

This week Jake and Evan cover all the drama in Columbus, cover more stories and sources for Black History Month, including Willie O'Ree's jersey retirement getting postponed. We also talk about Alex Galchenyuk's (now outdated) migratory habits, Tuuka's big adventure, Starship Troopers and more.

In Episode 17 we talk about the new ways COVID has found to disrupt the NHL, hopefully talk about Tony DeAngelo for the last time, and further developments in the PLD/Laine trade. We then dive into the NWHL Whubble, some of the players who have stood out, tell you to buy some of their merch, and speak our two cents about the hot, stinky mess that troglodytes tried to make of the glory that has bee...

We talk about the massive PLD for Laine trade, COVID, COVID everywhere, Russian politics, and cursing at reporters.

In this episode we share initial thoughts on the start of the 2021 season, have some fun with a crazy week for a couple NHLers, and finally we talk about how the NHL can become a more diverse and vibrant league

This one is a doozy. We try our best to briefly summarize the news of the week, including USA#1 best hockey country ever, some Seattle news and PLD’s big announcement. We spend some time celebrating the career of Corey Crawford and the life of John Muckler. Then it is the deep dive into 2021. Who are the best teams? Who are the worst teams? Who wins what? A list of non-traditional bests, and final...

We preview the World Junior Semi Finals and predict the finals, and pour one out for P.K. Subban and Lindsey Vonn. Evan then leads us in a discussion about all female official crews for the NWHL tournament taking place at the end of January, before we open wider on integrating women into the game in a more thoughtful and thorough manner.

Evan births his Bleakhawks meme and christens the holiday season with a festive recounting of the many hockey gifts under the hockey tree - Which is made of hockey. We talk about Tampa finding a convenient and not at all suspicious means of getting under the cap, the proliferation of one year contracts, King Henrik’s surprise announcement, and who we think had the best offseason.

Evan and Jake talk about the news of the day, LTIR movement, teams finding ways to get cap compliant, and Jake proposes a trade that was almost immediately made unnecessary. We have longer discussions about the hiring of Kendall Coyne-Schofield, and more opportunities for women in hockey. Finally, we guess as to what kind of season we will get (spoiler alert: Jake was right).

In this episode we wax poetic about the magnificent careers of “Doc” Emrick and Meghan Duggan, dig into the Mitchell Miller saga and the subsequent fallout, and finally spend far too much time griping about the blasphemous Reverse Retro jerseys.
