Off the Rush

It's all just a bit of history repeating! The Leafs blow it again and Allan comes in hot off the top and rips them a new one! The Dave's and Allan give you their 2nd round predictions and recap the action from round 1. The plot lines during round 1 were full of twists and turns that left everyone guessing. Here is hoping round 2 of the playoffs can keep the drama and action coming. Enjoy!

We are halfway through Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and everything seems to be going according to plan. The teams we thought would do well are looking great and the teams we gave little to no chance are sputtering. Goalies are dropping like flies, the Canes, the Pens, and Preds are all down to their 3rd stringers. Will any of these goalies step up and grab the brass ring? The official beer league hockey team of the podcast, the Black Vipers, are no more! The team has rebranded and will now be known as the Trash Pandas. Special thanks to Men's League Sweaters for their awesome jersey designs! Please throw us a 5 star rating and leave us a review. Enjoy!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! The first round of the NHL playoffs are here and we have a full bench this week to preview all of the action. Ken, Allan, Hoskin and McPhail give you a complete breakdown of who they think will win each series and in how many games. Will this episode age like a fine wine? Will we all look like idiots? Time will tell. We also bring you our beer recommendations for the upcoming week. Enjoy!

The NHL and the Montreal Canadiens say goodbye to a legend, Guy Lafleur was a one of a kind scorer and a true artist of the game. Allan and Dave look back on Guy's magnificent career and his legacy in Montreal. The guys also discuss the Minnesota Wild and their Stanley Cup chances, as well as the Canucks fading playoff hopes. As always we give you our beer selections heading into the weekend. Enjoy!

Ken and the Dave's are here to break down the week that was in the NHL. The Canucks keep losing players to injury, but keep winning games. In a season where you should expect the unexpected, it looks like it will come down to the wire on whether the playoffs are in the cards this year. Carey Price is back from his year long absence and we are excited to see him play! Auston Matthews may have scored 50 goals in less than 50 games, but that doesn't get him into the illustrious 50/50 Club. We pay tribute to Mike Bossy the legendary New York Islanders sniper, who the hockey world lost this week. Finally as always we give you our beer recommendations for the upcoming weekend. Cheers!

It was a jam packed week of drama and action for the NHL and the Dave's are here this week to break it all down for you. Longtime Anaheim Duck Ryan Getzlaf hangs them up, is he Hall of Fame bound? Jay Beagle attacks Troy Terry for being a better hockey player than him. Should he have been suspended? Auston Matthews is the best goal scorer of his generation and he may be on his way to a Hart Trophy. Roman Josi is having the best season a defenseman has had in years and seemingly no one outside of Nashville has noticed. Brendan Gallagher called Tim Stutzle a diver, was this a case of the pot calling the kettle black? We discuss this all and more, as well as our beer selections for the week. Enjoy the show!

The Canucks continue to befuddle and confuse everyone as they cough up easy points against Buffalo and Detroit at home, only to go on the road and knock off the Avs and Stars. Who are these guys? Do they even know? Alan and the Daves also discuss Nick Backstrom hitting 1000 points, the Florida Panthers continued success, and we wrap the show up with a tribute to the Foo Fighters legendary drummer Taylor Hawkins. Enjoy!

It's our 50th show and it's the Trade Deadline! What a happy accident! This is a jam packed show as we have a full bench and cover all of the high profile trades and signings across the NHL this week. What teams were winners? What teams were losers? Who is now poised for a run thanks to their GM? We attempt to answer these questions and more. Enjoy!

It's another two man show this week as Allan and Ken are on solo hockey odysseys. The Dave's are back and they take a look at the Toronto Maple Leafs and their struggles. Terrible goal-tending, defense, diving, and a lack of hustle has all led to the Leaf's downward spiral. It's starting to feel like a weekly segment, but we also heap praise on JT Miller as he continues to be the straw that stirs the drink in Vancouver. The Dave's also give their beer recommendations heading into the weekend. Enjoy!

It's a two man show this week as the Dave's discuss the Putin/Ukraine War and the impact it's had on the hockey landscape. The guys also break down the Canucks Jekyll and Hyde start to their New York area road trip, chat about the Leafs goal-tending issues, the Tampa Bay Lightning's recent success, and the trials and tribulations of their own hockey team. As always we give you our beer recommendations heading into the weekend. Enjoy!
