Talkin' Hockey - The Hockey Talkin' Show

Back for another Monday, ready to tell you all about a real nice young Russian fella, AK-46 aka Andrei Kostitsyn! His career started off promisingly with Les Habitants, but by the time he left town for Nashville, he was entangled somehow with members of the Montreal underworld.

Then, the boys head down to the rink to try their hands at some play-by-play during a Thursday night Garage League matchup between Where The Frykas Randy and the After Noon(an) Delights!

And then finally we set the parameters for our oft discussed Mount Rushmore... all this and great tunes too eh!

The boys are live on air on this special Remembrance Day episode named for renowned Nova Scotia knuckle chucker, the most popular Moosehead in Halifax history, Mr. Jody Shelley. This number 45 plied his trade for four squads - the Blue Jackets, the Sharks, the Rangers and the Flyers, amassing 1538 minutes in penalties! He's currently the colour commentator with the Blue Jackets broadcasts!

In our second period, we're talkin' your Winnipeg Jets, and touch base on a myriad of topics around the league. And in the third, we give you a Garage League update and touch on some fantasy hockey!

Plus, we've got good tunes as always....

We're back at it this week, chatting about a real beauty - longtime Talkin' Hockey favourite, the mustachioed wonder, Mr. Dave Babych! If you've listened to the pod, you know the boys love Babs - we'll tell you about his time patrolling the blue line from Winnipeg to Hartford, from Vancouver to Philly and beyond!

Then, we head down to the rink to catch some Garage League of Hockey action between the After Noon(an) Delights and Where The Frykas Randy - we've got some rinkside interviews with some league luminaries and in the third frame, we give you a break down of the Jet's week that was and touch base on a couple Central Division rivals.

Back at it for another week and we just can't escape the steely gaze of our number 43, tendy turned commentator Martin Biron! He plyed his trade mostly with the Sabres in Buffalo, but also had stops in Philly and with both New York squads!

Then we talk about your undefeated Winnipeg Jets, who at the time of recording are almost a tenth of the way towards an unbeaten record this year. The fellas tell you who is hot so far this year, and note a couple of players who are off to a slower start.

And then in the third period, it's a real hodge podge - we talk vertical striped socks, boss eagle mascots and defunct Winnipeg hockey clubs!

After a Thanksgiving induced break, your co-hosts are back from their food comas and ready to talk some hockey!

We're calling this episode THE MAKAROV in honour of Sergei Makarov - the man who put the M in the KLM line and racked up an astounding 13 (!!!) Gold Medals during an amazing international career. Though he hit the NHL ice late in his career, he still won the rookie of the year award at the age of 31 (and caused a rule change that will forevermore bare his name) and averaged almost a point a game over 5 and half seasons in the big show!

Then we're joined by longtime friend of the show, Eric Adams, an Oregonian transplanted in Salt Lake City. He'll tell us all about the excitement that the Utah HC is bringing to the SLC area, if the fans are a knowledgeable bunch and most importantly, which of these former Coyotes do you want on your fantasy squad!

Finally, we close with the segment you've been eagerly awaiting - that's right it's time for the Garage League update! Once again, your favourite co-hosts are twirlin' around the ice each week at the Winnipeg Winter Club and we'll tell ya all about Season 3 of Garage League action thus far!

And. We. Are. Back.

That's right friends, your favourite hosts are back to talk a little hockey with Season 7, Episode 1 a little episode that we're called THE HALAK, after great Slovakian tendy Jaroslav Halák! Didn't he wear #41 you say? Well friend, he sure did - this year we decided that we wanted to give some of our high numbered friends their due, so we're picking up our episode name game where season 6 left off!

Jaro, or the Halak-Ness Monster as his pals liked to call him played in the show for 18 (!!!) years with 7 different squads, often playing the 1A role in the netminder tandem, winning 2 Jennings Trophies along the way for his troubles.

Then we shift our focus to the now and talk at great length about your Winnipeg Jets - the boys in Blue, White and Red start the season this Wednesday in Edmonton and we give you a season preview and tell you why Brad Lambert isn't in the opening night lineup, but also why you might see him sooner than later.

And then we go rapid fire in period three as co-host Jared put co-host Tom on the hot seat and gets some predictions for the 2024-25 season!

All this and great tune too - glad to be back gettin' those pucks deep!

Your favourite hockey talkin' hosts are back with the season 6 finale - THE TUUKA! We go in depth about the Bruins lifter, trying to figure out if he won a cup or not - he put up some really great stats during his 15 years, and has a wasp named after him to boot!

Then we talk about the recent flurry of moves - Rutger to the Pens and Yaeger to the Jets! Broberg & Holloway to the Blues! Askarov to the Sharks! Laine to the Habs!

And we wrap with a supersized Pack-A-Day habit segment with 1991-92 O-Pee-Chees and 1991 Score!

As we've hit the higher numbers, there's been a lot of 'tendy talk on the program and today the fellas have a real beauty for you - The Dominator! That's right, one of the greatest goalies of this era, number #39 Dominik Hašek - he was a standout for the Buffalo Sabres and later on, picked up a couple of cups as a member of the Detroit Red Wings. Plus he won 6 Vezina trophies, an Olympic gold medal and collected a whole bunch of other accolades along the way, playing in the show until the age of 43!

Then, we wrap up our Four Nations Cup roster discussion with a double shot, covering teams Sweden & Finland!

On the Pack-A-Day habit, we stick with the Pro Set kick and spotlight the 1990-91 Series Two edition!

Here we are for another episode, this week it's #38 - The Demitra! Of course we're talkin' Pavel Demitra, the late, great Slovakian superstar who plied his trade for the Sens, Blues, Kings, Wild and Canucks, plus was an beast on the international ice, leading the 2010 Olympics in points! Sadly his life was taken too early as part of the horrific Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash.

Then, we continue our Four Nations Cup early preview and look at some of the hard decisions facing ol' Billy Guerin as he assembles what looks to be a stacked US roster!

Pack-A-Day today are some real beauties - the 1990-91 Pro Set Series One!

The boys are coming in smooth on this holiday Monday with an episode named after a great all around player - Patrice Bergeron! He amassed almost 1100 points during his career, played exclusively with the Boston Bruins, but perhaps is known best as the top shut down centre man of is generation, garnering 6 Selke trophies.

Then in a nod to ol' Patrice, we talk about upcoming roster possibilities for the 2025 Team Canada Four Nation's Cup roster - who's in, who's out, who is on the bubble and who should be a lock!

Pack-A-Day habit is the 1990-91 O-Pee-Chee set - we both have some stellar pulls and eat some 30 year old gum.
