Soups on Hockey

Getting you ready for the 2023 entry draft. What to watch for with the draft. Will the league start overvaluing size again? Plus my mock draft, and what the Oilers could do and moves they could make to double their pick total.

What will happen with the Flames? Thoughts on the latest movement in the league. And to cap it off, my first (but perhaps not last) mock draft of 2023! Could Michkov go 2nd?…

Did the league help Vegas win the Cup? I put on my tinfoil hat and make the case for it and why they would want that to happen. Also I take a look at all 32 teams and what their game plan is for the off-season.

Conroy to Calgary, Babcock to Columbus, Treliving to Toronto, Dubas to Pittsburgh, and a quick preview of one of the most uninteresting Stanley Cup Finals in the last 20 years on this edition of Soups on Hockey!

The Oilers post mortem. What all went wrong, what changes need to be made in the off-season, what changes need to be made by the trade deadline, plus thoughts on the Pietrangelo suspension and the Coyotes failed arena deal.

Hey it’s a new podcast! A lot of Bedard, a lot of Leafs, a little Flames, and a lot of the Oilers blowing a GOLDEN opportunity (see what I did there?!)

I’m back…again…for now. Talking Bedard and where would be the best and worst landing spots for the prodigy, and then I get into my playoff picks for each series.

Talking about why this is the first episode I’ve done in a month, talk about my very close friend Colin Budd, Saturday best bets (approximately 24:15 minutes in if you’re hoping to use them), surprising teams in the league to this point, and as always plenty of Oilers talk.

Had to talk about the mess going on in Vancouver, and the Oilers haven’t been far off a similar mess although Monday’s win vs Pittsburgh finally gave some hope that their worst is behind them.

The Edmonton Oilers are legitimate Stanley Cup contenders entering this season. What moves still need to be made? Who are the biggest wildcards? Who might overachieve? Plus 5 hot takes (which aren’t very hot) on what may happen this season.

Playoff and award predictions for the 22-23 NHL season.

Looking at the Metro Division entering the 22-23 season.

Looking at the Atlantic Division entering the 22-23 season.

Looking at the Central Division entering the 22-23 season.

Looking at the Pacific Division entering the 22-23 season.

Creep catcher videos, Yandle, Subban, Chara, the Flames being overrated, and a little Oilers talk to cap it off all on this edition of Soups on Hockey!

A 30-40 minute pod with no notes that turned into damn near 2 hours! Not sure that’s a positive, but it is what it is. NFL, Flames being overrated, the Oilers prospects tourney and why I’m really coming around on one thing the Oilers front office has done.

Won’t lie…Soups on Hockey is going back to its roots of Soups on Sports in this one. NFL week 1 picks, the Yankees collapse, JT Miller signing, and come along for the ride as I for the first time this season look through sports interaction and find which futures bets I like/love heading into the NHL season. All that, plus a billion other rabbit holes I go down on this edition of Soups on “Hockey”…

Not a lot going on as I was recording this show, until AFTER I was done when the news about Ryan Murray came down. So when I sign off, keep listening as I did a bonus addition after the fact. But in the 50 minutes or so leading up to that add, I talk Kelly Kapowski fantasy league, how sports are truly firing up again as summer comes to an end, Leon Draisaitl being the true leader of the Oilers and...

Looking at Phil Kessel signing with Vegas, more on the Oilers and Kane, also on how the Oilers are actually becoming a creative team, and finally with word that the NHL and NHLPA are going to have a World Cup in 2024, I take a look at what the organizers might do and how team Canada might look. Also a few different cameos from porn legend Ron Jeremy!

Talk a little World Juniors, and a lot on the Patrick Kane rumours to the Oilers. Where he fits, how he can fit, what Holland and company would need to ensure if they were to do a deal for him, and what it would cost

Brad Treliving completes his mission to salvage the Flames by signing Nazem Kadri to a 7 year, 7 million per season deal

More than rankings which are very debateable, I take an in-depth look at the Oilers system in this 2.5 hour marathon of a podcast

A move that will certainly be praised by most. But what’s the truth about where the Flames are headed?

It’s a mystery. I guess you’ll just have to play it to find out what all I covered…could be the best show I’ve ever done, could be pure trash!
