Roxy Fever

In a twist worthy of O Henry, Vyas is away writing the bar exam the week we get heavy into legal proceedings. Bit of a heavy show this week as the guys discuss the myriad sexual assault lawsuits unfolding right across hockey, including Hockey Canada, Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz, and former Vancouver Canuck forward Jake Virtanen.

But don't worry, before all that they're joined by Nation Network commander-in-chief David Quadrelli for a light and funny discussion of the Canucks' inaction on their many pressing needs, how the team fared at the draft, Johnny Hockey's exit out of Alberta, and of course, the three stances every goalie must know: standing, hunching, and crouching.

Monster-sized RF thing: Muppet Ice Storm/Avs-Bolts/Torts to Philly/Andrei Kuzmenko's dinner at JOEY/Hockey Canada lawsuit/HHOF inductees/renaming NHL awards

CW: sexual assault. Hockey Canada lawsuit discussion from 56:50 to 1:03:06

We review the conference finals and give our predictions for the SCF, congratulate Ryan Miller on his jersey retirement, and discuss the possibility of Kevin Bieksa signing a one-day contract with the Canucks. PLUS: Is the Canucks' locker room too much like a country club? What does that even mean? Nobody knows, but it's provocative.

We talk a little bit about the new hires on the player development side for the Canucks, say goodbye to the Panthers, Flames, Blues, and Canes and preview the conference finals.

Heads up, we talk about the recent Hockey Canada sexual assault lawsuit and Mitchell Miller hate crime story starting at 1:11:45, so skip ahead to 1:18:30 if you'd like to avoid that.

After diving into some behind-the-scenes stories from episode 100, we talk Boudreau's return, review round 1 of the NHL playoffs, and give our predictions for round 2.

Special thanks to Ramina Shlah, Cody Severtson, David Quadrelli, Chris Faber, Justin Morrisette, Jyrki21, and countless others who wish to remain anonymous.

Vyas is "studying" for "the bar" so Cody joined Jackson to update the listeners on goings-on in Abbotsford with the Canucks AHL affilate. Topic include the Canucks' failure to develop players at the AHL level, Mikey DiPietro's disastrous season, projecting the futures of Danila Klimovich and Jack Rathbone, and the crazy story of Japanese national/erstwhile Abby Canucks top-6 forward Yushiroh Hirano

We speedrun through every move mad at the TDL, take some calls, and solicit a couple of text questions from listeners designed specifiacally to piss Jackson off.

We preview the trade deadline and take some incredibly relevant and up-to-date calls.

It's the episode nobody asked for but that we had to do because hockey is extremely stupid. Longtime friend of the show Tyler Shipley joins us to discuss the war in Ukraine and the responses to it from the media, IIHF, CHL, and the NHL. BUT FIRST: a special message of congratulations from an old friend of the pod.
