That’s Gross

Mike, JB, and Jake are back from Warrior Ice Arena with fresh thoughts on Bruins training camp and players who stood out. We talk why people outside the organization are so low on this team, and why they could be missing something. Are the Bruins closer to contending than people think? We dive into potential roster surprises, expectations, and the team’s eventual path to a Cup.

We also break down the NHL rumor mill — from Kaprizov, McDavid, to hypothetical blockbuster trades for Crosby or Eichel tied to James Hagens, to which moves could actually make sense. Bruins Be a GM Mode: Would you trade Hagens for a superstar center who can step in now?

And of course, we talk Paul “BizNasty” Bissonnette — not just his rise from glue guy in the locker room to legendary media voice, but the bigger question: how good of a playing career would it take for you NOT to trade it for Biz’s path? With his post-career run, personality, and how much he’s changed the game, it’s a debate that sparks laughs and perspective.

Bruins fans, NHL rumors, and BizNasty debates — this one’s loaded.

In Episode 23 of That’s Gross, Mike, JB, and Jake are joined by Cesar Lucero — better known online as BigCeaz or Cesar Inspires. A passionate Florida Panthers fan and social media personality, Cesar has turned his battle with osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare bone disease, into a platform to entertain, motivate, and inspire thousands.

We talk through his incredible journey as a fan and a person: from getting pulled on stage at Miami’s iconic 11 nightclub by Matthew Tkachuk, to partying with the Stanley Cup champions, to his hilarious back-and-forth with Paul Bissonnette. Cesar shares how hockey has given him some of the best moments of his life, all while spreading his message of living strong and taking things “one shift at a time.”

This episode has it all — laughs, storytelling, and plenty of inspiration — even if it meant reliving some of Boston’s lowest hockey memories through Cesar’s eyes.

In Episode 22, we dive deep into the offseason storylines buzzing around the NHL. We kick things off with the Bruins’ captain’s practice and what it means with the season just around the corner. From there, we tackle expectations for Boston’s upcoming year, potential breakout candidates, and — because it still stings — another look back at the 2023 collapse.

The conversation shifts league-wide as we hit on the Panthers, Oilers, Eichel, and McDavid, and what we expect from the 2025/26 NHL season. To wrap it up, we debate and rank our Top 10 NHL Players — breaking down what really defines the “best” in the game.

It’s a bit of a rollercoaster episode, but that’s what makes it fun. Tune in and enjoy while we count down the days until puck drop.

In Episode 21, we sit down with Randy Langille, the Founder & CEO of Integral Hockey, to talk about one of the game’s biggest problems—stick costs—and how he’s changing the way players think about gear. The interview kicks off at 31:20 and runs to the end of the episode.

Randy shares the story of how he started Integral Hockey, taking his aerospace background and applying it to the hockey world. We dig into why their stick repair technology is so unique, what makes their service stand out, and how they’re aiming to become the most respected stick brand on the market. We also look ahead to where the future of buying sticks is headed and have some great banter about the current state of the game.

Hockey is expensive—gear prices keep climbing—and Integral Hockey is offering a real solution for players and parents everywhere. If you’re curious about saving money, getting more out of your equipment, or just love hearing a great hockey startup story, this one’s worth the listen.

In this week’s episode, we sit down with Tony Sauce, a Massachusetts-born hockey creator who’s taking the YouTube hockey world by storm. Tony grew up playing hockey all the way through college, and now films his men’s league journey as his team battles their way up the divisional ranks — bringing fans along for every gross goal, hilarious chirp, and scrappy battle on the ice.

Tony’s story started behind a controller, creating NHL video game content. But that passion inspired him to lace up the skates again, hit the rink, and capture the real thing for the hockey community. With a mix of raw game footage, locker room laughs, and all the ups and downs of men’s league hockey, his content is as authentic as it gets.

We talk about his playing career, his journey from video games to the rink, his most unforgettable stories, what it’s really like filming men’s league chaos, and where he plans to take his content in the future.

Sit back, crack a cold one, and enjoy the ride.

From Guilford High to juniors in Alaska to Endicott College, Jack Ring takes us on a wild ride through his hockey journey. He spills what the NAHL is really like, shares unreal travel stories, life in the Last Frontier, and the time things got so heated he fought his own coach. His interview starts at 16:37 and ends at 1:33:17. Jake, JB and Mike also swap men’s league tales, recap our weekends, and talk about how the Kraken’s mascot Buoy almost met his end in the worst way possible. Buckle up—this one’s a beauty.

In this laid-back summer episode, JB and Mike get into it all — bad drivers, comment section warfare, people with zero self-awareness, and the beautiful chaos of men’s league hockey. They show some love to Cole Sillinger in his life after Tate McRae, talk politics in hockey, and call out anyone who wants the smoke in NHL 26 (bring it).

Plus, a look at what’s next for Gross Hockey content — where it’s going, how we’re growing it, and why this is just the beginning. We also encourage any listeners to DM us on instagram (thatsgrosshockey) with thoughts, ideas, hot takes, and anything else. 

Perfect for the commute, locker room, or background noise during the slow hours at work.

This week on That’s Gross, the boys kick things off with a laid-back off-ice chat — digging into the Bruins' 10-year Cup anniversary video on YouTube, some old-school NHL rumors, and the debut of the first Gross Hockey merch drop: the PUCK DON’T LIE hat. Coming in mid August. 

Then at 28:04, we’re joined by a beauty of a guest — Nick Turcotte, head of Turcotte Hockey School, a family-run business that’s been developing hockey players for over 50 years. For the next hour and a half, Nick dives deep into everything from how to teach hockey IQ, USA Hockey, the roots of roller hockey, what the school really instills in players, and the mindset it takes to make it. He also shares stories about his brother, Alex Turcotte of the LA Kings, talks about where talent comes from — and why wanting it more than everyone else still matters.

Whether you’re a player, coach, or just love the game — this is one you don’t want to miss.

The boys get through the lack of hockey by discussing our own lives, and re-living memories of the 2011 Bruins. Some good ole hockey offseason chat, as well as what is likely part 1 of The Tuukka Rask Debate. We define what a 'Mutant' is, and much more. Enjoy

Welcome to another offseason hockey discussion between JB, Jake & Mike. Some more personal stories came up; Jake was hit by a car, Mike was almost in a fist fight over a littering dispute, and JB's tales of injury rehab.

We had some fun conversations; Mount Rushmore of beauties in the game, the ole stranded on an island question, craziest games we've been to, and more.

Enjoy the hour or so and engage on Instagram @ThatsGrossHockey to throw us questions/opinions to talk about on the next show.
