“Fresh” off a three hour recording session with the Jacket Cast, Penn and Joey review the past few games for the California hockey teams and preview those coming up. Lindholm signed the morning after we recorded this. Of course he did. The Sharks laid a stinker against Detroit before bouncing back with a strong game against the Ducks. Despite his team losing round one of the Sharks-Ducks grudge match, Joey is not too broken up. Gibson looks fantastic and the Ducks are coming off a huge victory over the Preds. Keep an eye out for photos or something, as both Joey and Penn are going to games in the next couple days!

-Bob Murray had some choice words for a reporter who perpetuated the rumor that Lindholm is being shopped. http://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/nhl-gm-calls-out-insider-for-false-trade-rumor-says-he-s-full-of-sh-t

The Sharks have taken a major step backward while the Ducks and Kings have begun to show signs of life. Penn and Joey make more vague references to exciting things coming up, (half-jokingly) tremble in fear at the rise of the Oilers and Canucks, and pay respect to the big-butted living legend that is Jaromir Jagr. Penn demonstrates that anger is an emotion that he can indeed feel, although it remains a possibility that he is actually an advanced android trying to disguise his true nature through false outbursts of “human” emotion.

Hockey is officially back! With a couple games in the books for each California team, Joey and Penn take a quick look at how their teams have started their 2016-17 campaign. Also discussed: several upcoming changes to the podcast, the dreamy Auston Matthews and Penn's wisdom teeth.

-Long Beach Native Emerson Etem is back in Anaheim: http://www.latimes.com/sports/ducks/la-sp-ducks-emerson-etem-20161013-snap-story.html

The regular season is starting! This week, your hosts take a look at several big news stories surrounding the Oilers, make slightly outdated analyses of the Ducks and Sharks’ training camps, and try to make the Kings feel more included in this California-based podcast. Penn, being the one writing these shownotes, also has the added job-perk of being able to dedicate this episode to the one and only Dan Boyle, who retired this week. Also the Oilers just signed Kris Russel, making the discussion that took place during a segment of this show pretty much obsolete.

Congratulations Team Europe! Your second place finish is a much bigger accomplishment than the nicest Evil Empire’s victory, so you should feel proud. With the World Cup of Hockey in the rearview mirror, Joey and Penn turn their attention to the NHL Preseason. Lindholm and Rakell still haven’t signed, Timo Meier is out for four weeks with mononucleosis, and the Sharks keep winning their preseason games 3-2 in overtime. If you think the Ducks or Sharks have things to complain about, you’re obviously not an Ottawa Senators fan or Clarke MacArthur. Also, Joey went to a game! Check our facebook page for pictures if you’re curious.

The World Cup of Hockey’s group stage is over. There were winners among the losers and losers among the losers. On this episode, Penn and Joey gush over Team North America, deride Team USA, and give a well deserved nod of the head/raising of the eyebrows to Team (Rest of) Europe. Just as the World Cup is ending, NHL hockey is right around the corner: preseason hockey starts this Tuesday and the regular season follows not too long after. Also: Aftonbladet’s journalistic integrity is called into question and a shocking revelation is made about Joey’s hockey fandom.

CLARIFICATION: When Penn refers to Tyler Johnson’s great season, he MAY have been biased by what was an outstanding postseason at the end of a mediocre regular season.

The World Cup of Hockey has started (for real this time.) Penn and Joey make predictions that have already been proven wrong, talk about some of the best Sharks/Ducks related plays of the World Cup, and address a piece of constructive criticism. Also discussed: Sami Salo’s unfortunate injury some years ago, relationship problems between Subban and Price, and the possibility of a 2018 Winter Olympics without any involvement of the NHL.

Joey and Penn dislike John Tortorella. Like, a lot. Football makes an appearance in this hockey podcast, two NHL teams have new captains, the Las Vegas franchise has yet another name possibility, and something admirable –instead of crazy– happened in the KHL. Finally, the World Cup of Hockey is underway! What’s that? It’s just pre-tournament games? What the heck are “pre-tournament games?”

Speaking from three different times separated by outbursts directed at uncooperative audio tech, Joey and Penn break down all your Knights-related news, discuss a barrier just broken down in the NHL, and gush over Hampus Lindholm. Also on the docket: another Shark and Duck have made it onto World Cup rosters and the Sharks may need to find another assistant coach. Disclaimer: This episode contains much more salt than the jersey “worn” by Mitch Marner.

On this episode, Penn and Joey finally have some substantial Ducks/Sharks news to talk about, Penn revels in the fact that the Vesey saga is over, and Joey doesn’t like Penn’s mouthnoises. Because it’s a short episode, the hosts also stuck around and blathered about Joey’s new employment with [COMPANY REDACTED] and other stuff. Feel free to skip it. You won’t hurt our feelings.
