13th Mar 2020 - So obviously a weird one this week. We didn't want to do a regular show as we thought it would have been stupid to pretend that the virus outbreak wasn't happening so its a little different this week. There are no segment's and we have more of a free wheeling chat. A cheeky little free skate if you will. We do discuss the virus and the implications for the season including different playoff ideas and why the owners would want something to happen. Also amazingly we find time to argue about Roberto Luongos number being retired in Florida. Why one of us thinks its crazy and why one of us thinks he deserves it. Rudy Gobert is a buffoon. Why Florida might win the cup. Arithmetic and Maths are different? Who knew. Dan tells a story from his past along the lines of his Cliff fall story and his plane shoes story. Man v 8 year old comes to a conclusion. Stay safe folks and wash your hands. Much love.
6th Mar 2020 - This week take a little look at the Coronavirus. Smooth recap. Winning the cup/Getting relegated. Starters and scratches (incl Mechanics, Mitch Marners filth and song choices for Caps players). We talk to Paul Campbell from @Ingoal media about all things in the crease. Ebugs, Bobrovsky, Carter Hart and the weather. Then onto the news. The Blues are boneheaded beyond belief. What other nights they have had. Talking about the Hurricanes pride night turns into a laughing fit over Dragons Den. Colin Campbell is also asking questions that beggar belief. Puck tracking technology is here and Bettman snuck it in like a sneaky snuck. More info is good though right? Johnny Boychuk nearly loses an eye and his face to a nasty skate blade. Are full cages a good way to go. Man v 8 year old and a load of other stuff. We had the giggles in this one for some reason. Please rate review and subscribe. Thanks.
28th Feb 2020 - This week Dan and Will nearly forgot Ovi hit 700. We then wonder about a different shooting percentage. Smooth recap. Winning the cup/Getting relegated. Starters/Scratches (incl Tyson Fury, Bobby Ryan and Nathan Gerbe). We obviously discuss David Ayres and why the Toronto media needs to get in the sea. Trade deadline was a lot of fun. Some teams had some good deals and some teams overpaid as usual. Will isn't happy with Pageau or Kreiders deals. The Sens have how many picks? How will they pay them all? Which team has the best story? Maybe the Pens. Why is Wayne Simmonds still being targeted? Why was Erik Gustafson targeted? Will is surprised. We look at the Islanders and Lightnings caps cos that's always funny. The Canadiens are still in the middle of a rebuild type thing and Dan produces an amazing stat re the Habs development of players. Man v 8 year old and other guff. Please rate review and sub. It helps a lot. Thanks.
21st Feb 2020 – This week Dan and Will don’t have time for a question. Smooth recap. Winning the cup/Relegated. Starters/Scratches. Incl (Target Parties, Shoutout goals and Mel Gibson). Then onto the news looking at the trades including but not limited to Blake Coleman is totally worth a 1st and at the same time is no way worth a 1st. Tyler Toffoli is worth a lot. Alec Martinez is the equivalent of some milk. Will explains why. The Kings are going about their rebuild perfectly so far. Why the Canucks should be in and making these moves. The cult of San Jose causes players to never want to leave. Doug Wilson is the Anti-Melnyk. Marco Scandella going to the Blues should have lead to repercussions in Buffalo. The department of player safety is useless and we don’t care who knows it. Thank god lord Evander Kane said something because players should be furious. He should be annoyed even though he absolutely should have been suspended. Zack Kassian is stupid beyond belief. Man v 8 year old and loads of other guff. Please rate and review. Thanks.
14th Feb 2020-This week Dan and Will discuss being ill and the movie Parasite. Smooth recap. Winning the cup/Getting relegated. Starters/Scratches with the best scratch ever (Manning retribution, pets with human names and a brilliant idiot). The second part of our interview with Gillian Kemmerer. We discuss moving to Russia, the KHL and James Bond. Another great chat. Then onto the news. Best wishes to Jay Bouwmeester. Paul Maurice signs a new deal. Have the Jets made a mistake? Jason Zucker is finally on the move. We fall down an Alex Galchenyuk wormhole and we wonder why the hell did he go third overall? The Coronavirus is impacting hockey equipment and the Weber/Subban blockbuster has ended up just fizzling out. Man v 8 year old and loads of other guff. Please rate review and subscribe it helps a lot.
7th Feb 2020 - This week Dan and Will have a quick look at the Leafs trade and if the return was good for the Kings. Smooth Recap. Winning the Cup/Relegated. Starters/Scratches. Then onto our interview with Gillian Kemmerer. Journalist, Writer, podcaster, professional traveller, go getter, and everything else in between. She is the premier journalist for all of your KHL news. We discussed the use of technology, her start on wall street, growing the women's game, being a distraction at morning skates and a ton of other things. Then onto the news. Protests can be put on hold as Gritty is found not guilty. We question what the hell is wrong with the Sabres and why Jack Eichel is probably going to want to leave soon. How many points does Jeff Skinner have? We recap the 2 battles of Alberta and Will, of course has to wee on everyones chips by moaning about the goalie fight. He hates fun. Would you sign Dustin Byfuglien if you could and how much would you pay him? A spirited end of show discussion on whether Chara belonged in the NHL decade second team. Man v 8 year old and a load of other bits. Please rate review and subscribe. It helps a lot. Thanks.
24th Jan 2020 - This week Dan and Will wonder about loser points and why ties are great. Smooth Recap. Winning the Cup/Relegated. Starters and Scratches incl Canadian snow, Wes McCauley and the KHL. We discuss why the Blue Jackets are great and Dan laughs in the face of analytics. Then onto the news. Its possible Gritty could be charged with a felony but that will only make him more accepted into Philly sports fandom. Dan explains why this is. Dan can speak a little bit of Cantonese and shows off to Will. Connor McDavid has gone to see a witch doctor and without any medical help his knee is completely fine now. Would you target it if you were in the playoffs against the Oilers? We discuss The Atheltic player poll and why they are kind of pointless to do. Sasha Barkov is still underrated? Carey Price is still the best goalie? We look at Price and if he is living on reputation. The NHL decade series is nearly over. We discuss some of the awards so far and pick what we think the NHL will choose as its team of the decade. Then our own team of the decade with our personal favourites. Man v 8 year old and the usual guff. Please rate, review and subscribe. Thanks.
17th Jan 2010 - This week before the hockey chat Dan and Will discuss The Witcher and Don't f**k with cats. Smooth recap. Winning the cup/relegated. Starting/Scratched including the Minnesota Wild, Jagr and Diego the tortoise. We have an interview with a deaf NHL fan. Frank who runs the @pluspuck account on twitter. Its short but interesting. Then onto the news. Firings first. Shero is out. I mean lets be honest what did he really do apart from accept a surprise package from a Mr P Chiarelli. The Devils haven't moved on really at all. Then more surprisingly Gerrard Gallant is out in Vegas and a clown has taken his place. DeBoer is in. Vegas are only three points out of first but they should be cruising right? The Battle of Alberta is back. Tkachuk is either a masterful troll or a dangerous player about to go overboard. Kassian goes mental and you cant blame but you also should a bit. Jake Virtanens elbow on Matthieu Perrault is fine and we end up in a discussion about the department of player safety and a lawless NHL. Man v 8 year old and a ton of other guff. Please rate and review the show. Thank you.
9th Jan 2020 – Happy new year everyone. This week Dan and Will discuss the world juniors. Smooth recap. Wining the cup getting relegated and starters/scratches feat Tampa Bay, Don’t f**k with cats and Churches near a Nandos. Then onto the news. We pat ourselves on the back a little bit regarding the Preds. We are very surprised at the John Hynes hiring but can we poo poo after what happened to the Blues last year? Torts has been fined again but Dan thinks Torts could turn the tables somewhat. Should the Sens protect Thomas Chabot or play him to death. Evidence suggests one of the is happening. The Habs draft poorly in the first round but as Will points out not all teams draft that well. Even the Habs assistants are jacked. Will enjoyed the winter classic as you would expect. The Wild are so infuriating even as a non-fan and their winter classic might kill off that spectacle altogether. Man v 8 Year old and the usual stuff. Please rate and review. Thanks a lot.
Thank you all who have listened this year. We took a big step trying to navigate conducting interviews across an ocean with both working full time and having families and wives who work odd shifts but we did it. Thank you so much to the people who said yes to talking to us. You had no reason to but we appreciate it eternally.
Here is our year end show. Some of our favourite bits from 2019. Parts of our chats with @fosterwrites @waytogoPaul @nhlhistorygirl @dysonsphere @Waveintel @MarkUKLeaf @ineffectivemath
Also the end of the Teflon Don, the best swear words hockey players can use, the Hurricanes and Wills hatred of their celebration, the prediction of the Blues winning the cup in February and one of us thinking they should just blow it up, we gave valentines day cards to teams with a musical flavour and we lose it over the bull semen explosion story.
