Talkin' Hockey - The Hockey Talkin' Show

Back at it tell you about a fine number 27 - the great Gilles Meloche! This mustachioed tendy patrolled the pipes for the likes of the California Golden Seals, Cleveland Barons and Minnesota North Stars, so you know he felt the sting of more than a few biscuits to the side of the head! He currently sits at 4th all-time in the Goalie loss leaders, where he's got some pretty good company.

We also get caught up on Round Two playoff action, look at some head coaching vacancies and debut our brand new pack-a-day segment!

Back for another week to talk about game we all know and love, we're here with episode 26 - The Milbury! The boys tell you all about rugged defenseman Mike Milbury, who was a bit of a shoe aficionado, then later a subpar GM with the Isles and a longtime commentator with some questionable hot takes!

We break down a predictable round one of the NHL playoffs - the teams you think would win won, and the won we wanted to win didn't. But the Leafs lost again, and that's okay!

And then we start to dissect what will happen with your Winnipeg Jets offseason - will Old Bones stay? Do any of the UFA's make Winnipeg their home? And does Nik Ehlers take his drycleaning to a new city - we've got thoughts as always...

After last week's live Pledge-O-Rama show, your favourite hosts are back and recording the show from comfortable confines. We break down the great career of one Mr. Joseph Nieuwendyk - this hall of famer won cups with 3(!!!) different teams, helped bring the gold back to Canada in the 2002 Olympics and proved to be an excellent two-way centreman.

Then we talk about the playoffs - first trying to dissect exactly what's gone wrong for your Winnipeg Jets and then talking about some of our other favourite playoff highlights and stories.

No music today - instead we play you some of our favourite calls from the late, great Bob Cole. Truly Mr. Saturday Night, may he rest in peace.

Hello out there, we're live on the air!

That's right, the fellas are in the booth this week for Pledge-O-Rama 2024, raising some funds for this great campus & community radio station that we air on each week!

We'll play some hockey card wars with some vintage junk wax, and we have the first edition of Talkin' Trivia with some very special guests!

If ya like the show, be sure to throw some dough our way - head to the UMFM website to make your donation today!

The boys are back and all over the map with Season 6, Episode 24 The Federko, in honour of the pride of Foam Lake, SK - Mr. Bernie Federko! He played 1000 games on the nose, dished out a whole lotta apples, still leads the Blues in most major categories and was inducted into the Hall of Fame for his efforts!

Plus we talk about Salt Lake City's new hockey team and what a long, strange trip it's been to get them there and talk about all the playoff implications of a manic Monday in the NHL - 7 of the 8 games have some meaning to someone!

The fellas are fired up for this sweet episode that we're calling The Nystrom - in honour of Bobby Nystrom, the blond bomber from Hinton, AB by way of Stockholm! All you need to see is that flowing mane and that big ol' duster and you'll know why Knuckles got the call today!

We also talk about Eastern conference playoff races and a couple of veteran squads that are finely rounding into form at the right time, plus NHL Ironmen and we give you a little Pledge-O-Rama preview - get those donations ready!

Oh yeah, great tunes too, but you already knew that!

Recorded on Good Friday as the lads find themselves with a little time on their hands, this one's been christened in honour (!?!?) of Claude Lemieux - one of the greatest agitators to ever play the game, and agitator's a word that my grandma would've used to say a-hole. He won 3 cups and the only friends he made along the way were probably his teammates...

Then we talk about the Jets who are struggling to say the least - at the time of recording, they've lost 5 straight and need to right the plane soon, lest they slip into one of those wildcard spots.

And finally we talk about all of the fans masquerading as empty seats around the league - it's clearly not just a problem north of the border.

Plus great tunes from the latest rocketing up the UMFM charts!

We're back talkin' about a bonafide hockey legend - international superstar Peter Forsberg! The man known as Foppa, or Peter The Great, was an absolute force in international play and still holds the record for World Junior points - both career and in an individual tourney. Sadly his NHL career was hampered by injuries, but he was still part of two cup winning teams in Colorado, and was a key part of one of the league's biggest trades ever!

Then we talk Jets - the boys had been hittin' the snooze on their east coast swing and have dropped three in a row. Time for some home cooking and hopefully a return to form before they hit the home stretch.

And finally, fantasy playoffs are upon us - does Tommy's squad squeak in or does his season long 'tendy woes do him in - so much math!

This week's tunes are a trio of absolute bangers - welcome to our listeners new and old!

After a week away, the boys are back with Episode 20 - something we're calling the Suter after Flames (and US Hockey) legend Gary Lee Suter - though his nephew Ryan wears the big two-oh as well! We find out that this Stanley Cup and Calder Trophy winner had a bit of nasty edge when dipping his toe in international waters, much to Tommy's shock and dismay, but he repped the stars and stripes whenever called upon and is truly an American great!

We talk about our Jets who are rollin' towards the playoffs with their new additions firing on all cylinders, and we recap the Garage League of Hockey finale - big shouts to this year's champs The Spare Parts!

Call 1-800-Hockey-Talk if you have any leads, or would like to return, the Jagr bobbleheads - no questions asked!

The boys are back at it, with Season 6, Episode 19 - the Naslund! We tell you about Canucks legend, Swedish superstar Markus Naslund - one of the core members of the West Coast Express and a product of the mighty MoDo hockey machine.

Then, with the trade deadline fast approaching, we go coast to coast and tell you which Canadian teams are buying, selling, holding or folding.

And the Garage League playoffs kicked off over the weekend and we tell you who took a good first step towards hoisting the cup!
