Holy Puck Podcast: Hockey News, Views and Abuse

AS A MAN OF HIS WORD Cam lost his bet: The Pens took it all this season and he got that Phil Kessel tatty on his leg, just like he said he would.

Coming to you direct from a tattoo shop somewhere in Melbourne, Australia while Cam is tattooed the whole time we discuss the year in review. We run though the NHL season 2015-16 season that was. The highs and lows, stupid "we're right, you're wrong" banter, the good news of the year and big winners/losers from the latest free agency period.

What an episode, what a tattoo, what a podcast! Holy Puck: your number 1 source of hockey news, views and abuse!

WHAT'S BETTER THAN THE CUP FINAL? Ah... could that be the Free Agency period! You bet your ass it is! Man we love the free agency period here at Holy Puck and you should too!

Yandle's monster deal in Florida has set the tone for what's going to be a very spicy trade & free agency period. So grab your sandals, hit the beach and let's avoid state income taxes!

We cover all the major announcements thus far, where we speculate on where the big players will land give our thoughts on what has transpired so far in the weeks leading to (potentially) the best period of the year.

THE PENS WON IT ALL! And we're not SUPER upset, we just wish that the cup had gone elsewhere. This episode we discuss all of the major storylines that emerged out of the last game of the season.

We pick apart the league's decision on Sid for the Conn Smyth and we banter about a bunch of other rubbish.

Coming soon: A gofundme for Cam's rubbish tatty and our full season 90 minute episode. MAD!

TIMES ARE TOUGH FOR THE SHARKS! WOW things didn't go the way we all hoped and dreamed they would, but really (back here in reality) we all know the Pens were looking the goods after we last spoke in Episode 22.

Will the Sharks ice girls keep smiling or will the HBK sandwich become a Pittsburgh staple if (and let's be honest here, when) the Pens raise the cup at the conclusion of this season?

Either way, there's a chance someone in the Bay Area will start a fire! We're back baby, Holy Puck: Episode 23.

THE CUP FINAL IS HERE! And well, it's not gone well for Jumbo Joe, Big Pav, Burnsy and their band of merry legends. Sid's bunch have stepped up big with the likes of Nikky Bonino, Sheary and of course our boy Phil THE KESSEL RUN Kessel just generally killing it and pouring on the goals with absolute ease - very. very upsetting.

What's next? We give a not so detailed run through of the first two games that saw the Pens go two up in the series, discuss the storylines we see unfolding, what we expect to see as the series heads back to California and where we're at with Cam's rubbish Kessel tatty. MAD!

THE STORIES ARE EMERGING! This episode we cover off the all time stories that are unfolding in front of our very eyes on the ice. In fact, all of the remaining four squads have a fan-friendly, “get around the boys” anecdote brewing, so by this point, it’s not a question of will a Cinderella story take place, it’s which one?

We review each of the teams and more importantly, the storylines that we'd most like to see come to life in the coming days: be it ex-Cap Troy Brouwer killing it for the Blues, Matt Murray stealing the starter spot, the HBK (lol) line or even big Stevie Y sticking it to the man!

In more important content news: this episode CAM DECLARES HE'LL GET A PHIL KESSEL TATTY, we preach our love for all things hot-dog related and recount our recent beer fueled night at the Melbourne Ice game!

WELL, IT SURE IS TOUGH TO BE A CAPS FAN. Yup, it's been a tough second round of a lot of teams and we deconstruct their various issues and pain points moving into the golf... off season.

With the Isles looking much, much better and the Pens soaring the East is looking great, while the west is a solid race to the finish line. We cover off where we see the trade market opening up and where we see some of the pieces falling come October.

With many, many rubbish teams (lol, the CAPS) now eliminated it's time to turn our focus to the conference finals and review/lampoon the upcoming battles, who will be embarrassed, who will come out on top and who the Bruins need to trade for next season to be slightly less crap.

PLAYOFF HOCKEY IS HERE! And WOW the first round was a rollercoaster!

This episode is full of our usual antics, but mostly where we blew it on our respective brackets, who we've got next and where we think the cup will land.

With the rounds heating up we're going to put out smaller eps to cover your playoff hockey needs cause, who wouldn't wanna listen to us drone on about why the Caps suck and were robbed by Sid's boys? WHO!?!?

PLAYOFF HOCKEY IS HERE! And WOWWEE nobody saw the Ducks stinking it up so much and the Preds killing it! The Caps are looking the business and the Pens finally look dangerous.

We here at Holy Puck love a little playoff action and there's been nothing short of biff in the Lightning / Wings series. We cover off where we see these series landing and who we've got in our brackets.

We also cover off this weeks AIHL games, some upcoming games, why Andrew Shaw is a bum (but he'll be traded next year so LOL) and why Philly fans SUCK.

WHO WILL STEAL THE FINAL EASTERN PLAYOFF SPOT? What a giant week it's been in generally sucking all year and doing barely enough to make it in to the post-season. Yup, that's right Bruins (and lets be honest Red Wings) fans, we're talking directly to you and your under performing teams.

We also cover off the USA Women's team crushing the world champs for the third consecutive year, Cam repents being rude to a certain NCAA player and we generally burn the Russians for being poor at managing their medical staff.

The import quality of the AIHL is looking as excellent as Jumbo Joe's beard and other musings on another quality EP of the Holy Puck Podcast!

Also, the Pens are looking pretty odds on to win the cup and this upsets everyone.
