Puck Soup

Greg and Dave welcome Puck Daddy's Ryan Lambert to the show for a free-wheeling conversation about the Philadelphia Flyers, the Edmonton media, naked Ryan Kesler, "Avengers: Infinity War," why scoring is up, a ridiculous NHL 100 documentary, this season's big surprises, Greg's family and their weird casino games, dog costumes and an intense bit of dinosaur trivia with RL, a dinosaur expert.

The boys welcome WWE superstar Daniel Bryan to the podcast to talk about his "YES!" chant with the Islanders, hockey in Seattle, if a wrestler could win a hockey fight and socioeconomic disparities that leave him feeling guilty for having made money. Also, Greg and Dave go to war over the Chicago Blackhawks in the Winter Classic and the 10-game suspension to Radko Gudas; they talk NHL expansion, and Greg gives Dave a Houston-centric quiz; the Puck Soup Awards for the quarter-point in the NHL season; "Justice League" angst; which Thanksgiving side dishes would you eliminate from Earth; and a wonderful Thanksgiving carol featuring Gary Bettman and Ilya Bryzgalov.

Greg and Dave celebrate a milestone episode with Rubie Edmondson of TheRinger.com, talking about her love of the Chicago Blackhawks, loathing of Jeff Goldblum and answering for all of those millennial-based movie rankings. Plus, a rather spirited debate about the Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2018, Carey Price and the Canadiens, the Coyotes suck, Taylor Swift, the Sports Illustrated subscription service, "Justice League" and knowing too much about movies, Twitter's 280 characters of hell and which NHL fan bases you'd never want to call your own.

It's a (guest) free skate for Greg and Dave, as the boys discuss the blockbuster Matt Duchene trade and its winners and losers; debate the Hall of Fame Class of 2017 and the validity of the Hall's selection process; Dave rants about dumb media questions; Greg explains his policy on food past its expiration date; Twitter's 280 characters; an amazing moment between an Islander and a referee; there are too many British people in "Star Wars" movies; and a full post-THOR RAGNAROK ranking of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, leading to much disagreement between our heroes.

Spawn creator and former Edmonton Oilers part-owner Todd McFarlane talks to us about McFarlane Toys, the incredible third jersey he designed for the Oilers, his battles with Gary Bettman and how he would change the NHL to market it better. Plus, Greg and Dave assess the playoff potential for slow-starting teams in a round of "happy on the bottom or coming from behind?"; a look at the Oilers' struggles; problematic behavior from Connor McDavid, Tyler Seguin and Alex Ovechkin; whatever the hell the Coyotes are doing; how Burger King is a stoner and McDonalds is his stoner buddy trying to get a job at the bank; seeing Aaron Judge at Six Flags; and your favorite NHL duos.

Greg and Dave talk hockey with Lou D'Angeli of Cirque Du Soleil, a.k.a. Sign Guy Dudley from ECW, about his dual fandom of the Penguins and Golden Knights, his surreal journey through the wrestling industry, doing drugs at shows and Vegas life. Plus, the insane notion that Auston Matthews is under-appreciated, the wacky 'pick your own opponent' playoff format, remembering the movie "Parenthood," Greg's adventures in Bristol, the Vegas Golden Knights Twitter feed steps in it and asking the listeners for the first coach fired.

Greg and Dave are in Vegas for the Golden Knights' first home game, and talk about the incredible emotional night at the rink (and also "Sweet Golden Knights"). Plus an interview with poker legend Daniel Negreanu about the tragedy in Vegas, Leafs vs. Knights fandom, why James Woods is a dick and whether or not Phil Kessel is a good card player. They also talk Penguins at the White House and early season NHL surprises.

Greg and Dave welcome Sean Leahy for some Puck Daddy memories and general hockey silliness. Plus discussions about Jaromir Jagr to the Calgary Flames, the Blackhawks' controversial decision on Marian Hossa, "Mike and The Mad Dog" give you the over/unders for the NHL 2017-18 season, some thoughts on Las Vegas, Martin Brodeur as Yoda, the return of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Greg's surreal post-Breitbart announcement on leaving Yahoo and some thoughts on manhood.
