Soups on Hockey

Apparently I'm only doing these if the Oilers win? What a schmuck homer I am!! But they somehow did get out of Sunrise with a split and now it's a best of 3 for the Cup, once again with home ice advantage.

Oilers win 4-3 in OT, my thoughts. Riveting stuff I tells ya...

It's the playoffs, and in the playoffs you sometimes have to battle sickness as I did during this show. Not my best work, but you get my thoughts on the Stanley Cup Final rematch and I waste very little time getting into why I don't think this is going to be a very close series this time around.

Obviously I could not start this podcast without talking about the Leafs, and went a TAD overboard with it. 40 minutes or so worth of ranting about how sick of this situation I am. Plus I talk Mark Scheifele and the Jets, and preview the Conference finals matchups.

F**K VEGAS! Not too short of a shift, which has seemingly become the norm! But plenty of Oilers talk, a brief look at the rest of the playoffs, and a very brief look at my buddy Ken Holland to the Kings.

It’s exactly what it says. Obviously hit on the 2 game 7’s over the weekend, both of which were amazing!

The Hockey world is in a state of utter shock that an average team that only ever has results in the regular season continues to be the same team despite nominal/non needle moving changes. In this podcast, I get to the bottom of what possibly could be going on here, and there is no earthly way that fans and media would lack THAT much intelligence...

Wild 21 minutes after a boring as hell 39 minutes. Did we learn anything?

It's all in the title! Start it off with rebuild rankings while also taking a look at all the teams who missed the playoffs, even those who aren't rebuilding. Then we get into the power rankings, followed by my playoff picks as we gear up for the playoffs starting this weekend!

Ovy hits 895! I worry things aren't as they seem, but I hope they are. I just refuse to ignore the elephant in the room like everyone else is.

I have to apologize to Doug Armstrong. I took our vendetta (he doesn’t know I exist) too far and need to give him his due. Plus, more on the Bouchard contract debate.

Soupy bear is back after a week off! Playoff format, game managing, Canadian teams in the playoffs and of course the Oilers all in this edition of the SOH Big Show!

Mostly on what happened at the deadline. Cozens/Norris trade, the Avs, the Stars, Rantanen, tons on the Oilers, and my freshly updated post trade deadline power rankings.

Just me reviewing what all 32 teams could and should do while giving extra time to my favourite shit show, the Edmonton Oilers.

It’s in the title

No more needs to be said!

This one is all about team Canada and the 4 Nations Face-off. Their loss to the US on Saturday, what needs to be done, does Canada need to do something about the way they're developing players, and whether or not they are done. They could be done today, they could be done Thursday, they could be champs by Thursday. Still a lot to be decided.

Thoughts on team Canada through 1 game and getting prepared to play the Americans on Saturday night.

I got cut off from recording so this is the last part to the latest edition of the BS.

Trades EVERYWHERE!!!

Wow. These are going even worse than I envisioned. But here we go again, 7 picks...probably will want to do the opposite of what I suggest.

Biggest trade in the NHL since the Tkachuk/Huberdeau deal in the summer of 2022 happened tonight, my reaction to the deal.

I am so fed up with the horse shit that gets said about the Canucks when they've been showing us all that they are THIS team for the last 5 seasons. Plus...with the goaltending market looking very bare this trade deadline, I wonder out loud about a talented guy whom if the Oilers acquired him, would not be welcomed by the fan base with open arms...but might be better than you think and is just nee...

No clue why I’m still doing these, they are TERRIBLE!!! Maybe if you need to lose some money? Might help you at tax time?

Might be the best in the league at this moment and now they add Klingberg. But this isn’t John Klingberg circa 2020.
