The St. Louis Blues win!!!!

Well, it took all seven games to decide, but in the end, the St. Louis Blues are your 2019 Stanley Cup champs! What an incredible series this turned out to be. We hope that you all enjoyed it as much as we here at “All Pucked Up” did.

On today’s show, we discuss both teams… dissecting the good and the bad that we saw during the cup series, and what direction we now see these teams headed in the offseason.

We also take a quick look around the league, and offer our opinions on what moves several other teams may make as free agency begins. If we’re correct, it’s going to be another busy offseason.

To close the show, we share with you our future plans for the show, and talk about what to expect come next season.

Welcome back!

Well, folks… the Stanley Cup Finals are here, and after 3 games, the Boston Bruins are leading the series 2 games to 1 over the St. Louis Blues. How are you all enjoying the series so far?

On today’s show, we discuss what we’ve seen up to this point, and what players are making their presence known.  We also talk about some of the bad calls these refs are making.

During the second half, we take a look at some of the recent developments around the NHL.  The offseason is just around the corner, and we could be seeing a lot of big names about to enter the market. We’ll let you know who may be on the move, and where they might be headed.

Well, folks… time is just zipping by, and with that, we’ve finally reached that moment that we’ve all been waiting for all season long:

The Stanley Cup Finals.

Now, be honest: If we told you at the beginning of the season that we’d be looking at a matchup between the Blues and Bruins to determine who would hoist the cup… would you have believed us?

Nah. We wouldn’t have believed it either. LOL

Both teams have really kicked things into high gear, however, and it looks like we might have a great series ahead of us. On today’s show, Chris and Scott talk about what to expect, as well as give us their predictions for Stanley Cup champs!

We also take a look at the finalists for this years NHL awards. From the Vezina to the Hart, the Masterton to the King Clancy, we discuss the nominees, and tell you who we think should take home the hardware.

Enjoy the extended weekend, everyone… and while you’re out celebrating with friends and family, don’t forget to reflect back on the real reason for the holiday: to remember those who have paid with their lives, so that we Americans can continue to enjoy our freedom.

Welcome back, everyone!

One today’s show, we take a look back at the Boston Bruins victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Bruins, who will be making their first appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals since 2011, will be playing the winner of the Sharks / Blues series. We’ll take a look at the latest from that series as well, and also let you know who we think would be the better matchup for these hard-hitting Bruins.

During the second round, we discuss the “no call” hand pass which lead to the Sharks OT victory in game 3 of their series against the Blues. This seems to be just another example of why the rules in the NHL need to be reviewed… and most likely changed. Chris and Scott have a LOT to say about what needs to be done to correct things in the offseason.

Welcome back, everyone!

Well, we’re almost through the second round… and still, the surprises just keep on coming!

The ‘Canes are headed to the conference finals after sweeping the Isles. We now know that they’ll be playing the Bruins in a series that promises to be just as entertaining as anything we’ve seen up til now. In the West, both series are knotted up at three games a piece, with the deciding games to be played within the next 48 hours.

So what kind of predictions do our guys have this week? We break it all down in the opening round.

In the second round, we take an in-depth look at what these unexpected series results might mean for the NHL. Carolina, Dallas, St. Louis, Colorado…. nobody expected these teams to still be playing right now. Given the fact that many of these remaining teams lack “big name” star players, are fans still tuning in to watch these games? Or have they too packed it in for the season?

Hey, everyone!

Well, by now, your bracket has almost certainly been BUSTED.

Don’t feel bad. You definitely aren’t alone. We all bombed out early as well. None of the so-called “experts” out there predicted this post-season fiasco either. (That’s why websites offer 2nd chance brackets, right? LOL)

Today, we take a closer look at the second round of the playoffs, and try to shed some light on what exactly is happening.  With all the top seeds out of the running, which teams have jumped to the front of the pack.

We’ll tell you who we have our eye on…. and it might just shock you.

Welcome back, everyone!

Well, this might be just about the craziest post-season that anyone here at “All Pucked Up” can remember. Both #1 seeds (in the East and West) eliminated, as well as several upsets…. and this is still just the first round!

Buckle up! We’re about to try and make sense of it all!

Welcome back!

So let’s be honest. How many people out there really thought that after just one week into the 2019 NHL playoffs, we’d be looking at the Tampa Bay Lightning…. the best team BY FAR during the regular season… on the verge of being swept by the 8th seed Columbus Blue Jackets?

And how about those Islanders?!! Anybody wanna tell us that they had New York going up three games to none to start this series off?

The playoffs, as we so often say, are the start of a whole new season, and just as we are seeing now…. ANYTHING can happen.

On today’s show, we discuss all the current matchups, and tell you what we are noticing in each one. We also talk about the possible next round.

Welcome back, everyone!

Well, it’s the start of the 2019 NHL Playoffs… and we’re just as excited as could be!

On today’s show, we’ll be taking a look at all eight matchups, telling you what to watch for, and who we like to win each one. We’ll also be breaking down our own playoff brackets, and talking about which teams we may see in the finals… and which ones will be watching from home.

Welcome back!

Well, it’s getting down to the wire, folks… and on today’s show, we take one last look at the ever-changing playoff picture.

With Toronto seemingly on the “slide”, do they stand any sort of chance when they face the Boston Bruins in the first round? And can the Columbus Blue Jackets, a team that is suddenly surging, claw their way back into the playoffs… or will they fall just short in the last week of the regular season.

In the West, we look at the Colorado Avalanche…

After a nearly two-month long skid, how did this team suddenly become relevant again… at a time when most were ready to count them out?

And how about those Calgary Flames?

They just clinched the top seed in the West, and are boasting one of the most complete lineups in the NHL. So what could possibly take them down? We discuss the one thing that may prove to be their “Achilles heel”.
