This will be our final episode before a little hiatus from recording to follow. The network has come to an agreement that this is a good time for a break from podcasts to mark the ‘end’ of the inaugural season of The Hockey Podcast Network, and us here at Offside by a Mile.

We end on a high note and brought on Neil Villapiano, @thenvpshow on Twitter, the newest host of the New Jersey Devils podcast for THPN. We had a great chat with Neil about all kinds of things happening in the hockey world now, and over the course of this season.

We chat at length about Taylor Hall and his journey this season and going forward, the New Jersey Devils and their chances in the draft lottery, and the NHL draft in general gets a lot of attention in our conversation.

We talk more about the Avalanche and their chances at success this post season, and how we look in the crease going in.

Of course, there is much more to unpack in this chat as we fly past an hour talking with Neil, in regular OBAM fashion. We hope you enjoy this chat and join us in welcoming Neil to the network!

From all of us here at OBAM, we greatly appreciate each and every one of our listeners and followers. We’ve had a fantastic time with the podcast, and feel we couldn’t have picked a better team to digest and dissect all season. We’ll be back with you in July in full force!
