2 For Diving

Who's your favorite player? Scratch that - who's your favorite player who makes less than $5 million per year? The guys take a look at some not-household names you should be watching.

Nick and Mike lay bare all their Flyers' biases and talk about the greatest NHL team to wear orange and play in Philadelphia in the history of sports.

Are the Hurricanes finally for real? Or will the goaltending levee eventually break? Danny, Nick, and Mike discuss the Carolina Hurricanes' strength of depth up front and on the backend, and try to determine if it's enough to launch them into the upper echelon of NHL teams vying for the Stanley Cup.

The first episode during the 2019-2020 regular season kicks off with the group talking about the scorching hot start of James Neal and the Edmonton Oilers. Tune-in as we discuss whether or not this start is a flash in a pan, or a whole new Oilers team primed for the playoffs.

We make some bold (and not so bold) predictions for this upcoming season and we explain why:

Mike thinks Alex Debrincat is going to win the Rocket Richard

Danny thinks a team not from Ottawa will be the worst this season

and Nick thinks the Flyers are playoff-bound (it's mostly just because he's a Flyers fan).

After a long time away...we're back - and just in time to talk about a Wild team without a GM. Saddle up and Mike, Danny, and Nick shake off the cobwebs and dive into such daring topics as:

-Paul Fenton (obviously)

-Bad contracts (predictably)

-Team outlooks (cautiously)

Also source credit goes to Mike Russo of the Athletic for his article on the Paul Fenton saga (linked below), Capfriendly for their wonderful work, and hockeydb.com for all basic player/team stats.

About $233 million was spent between July 1st and July 3 in NHL free agency, but was any of it spent well?

Strap in as Mike defends the Bobrovsky deal, Nick makes us talk about Tyler Myers, Danny avoids the Kadri trade, and we all laugh at the Aho offer sheet.

The guys finally meet in person to have a few drinks and talk about the 31 players drafted in the first round and how the picks impact their respective teams. Using our experience and expertise, we tell you everything about these players that you could find out yourself by doing a quick Google search.

Strap in for TWO. FREAKING. HOURS. of this unedited podcast where:

-Nick tells you everyone's height and weight.

-Mike regurgitates each players basic junior league stats.

-And Danny adds a special surprise Easter Egg for listeners at the very end.

Mike can't stop saying "Phoenix Coyotes," Danny learns how to pronounce "Teppo Numminen," and we welcome our new contributor Nick Kramer (who valiantly fights a cold) as we assess just what exactly this Coyotes team is going to be. Are the playoffs in their immediate future? Do they have the cap space to make an offseason splash? Will someone ever score 20 goals on this team? Find out on this episode!

Danny learns how to pronounce Boeser, I realize my PK Subban trade idea is bad, and we take a closer look at the current state of the Vancouver Canucks.
