The Bandwagon Hockey Podcast

On a very boring deadline day, Vegas made it one for the ages in one fell swoop at the buzzer, acquiring Tomas Hertl from the San Jose Sharks. We dissect that, as all as Vegas’s two other big moves, all the little moves, and every move in between from deadline week

5 days away from the trade deadline as we break down the massive Elias Pettersson extension with the Canucks, the trade talks with Carolina that accelerated it, the Chris Tanev trade and the subsequent Ilya Lyubushkin trade, as well as Noah Hanifin rumours and who we think should be in on the 27 year old LHD.

On this brisk Sunday morning, Mitch and Ryan chop up what has been a streaky NHL as of late. Touching on the Senators recent run of encouraging play, the Bruins overtime streak, the Leafs W7 streak, the Rangers W10 streak, Arizona and Montreal’s demise, and we touch on where we think Jake Guentzal will end up

In our return as just two hockey talking boys, we quickly touch on our thoughts from All Star Weekend and then promptly get into the mayhem that took place in Kanata, Ontario on Hockey Night in Canada. We discuss how Toronto and Ottawa have been on different trajectories in recent weeks, how that has come about, and obviously we give our thoughts on the Ridly Greig-Morgan Rielly kerfuffle at the end of the game and what it means for the Leafs in the following days (or weeks?). 

***The show wraps with breaking news as Reilly is offered an in-person hearing for his actions***

After a 2 month hiatus, the Bandwagon is back and joined by familiar faces Jacob Snow, Mason Boruch, and Neville Madill. We do a roundtable discussing where each of our guest’s favourite teams are at coming out of the all star break, as well as what they foresee heading into trade season (and in some cases, reviewing what we have already seen). We wrap up the pod discussing our midseason Stanley Cup picks, the weight of top teams between the Western and Eastern conferences, before finally our guests turn it back on the hosts and ask our thoughts of the Ottawa Senators heading into trade season.

The standings are weird this year! A lot of teams are below fake .500, many more than usual at this point in the season. We look at the fraudulent teams and then do a franchise trajectory comparison between the Rangers and Kings since their Stanley Cup matchup in 2014. We then take a look at the Coyotes recent schedule quirk where they’ve faced, and beaten, the last 4 Stanley cup champions and face a fifth on Monday vs Washington. The Coyotes then high-jack the pod as we do an Arizona deep dive in the back half of the show.

Breaking news as we kick off the episode as the Oilers relieve Head Coach Jay Woodcroft of his duties and immediately replace him with Connor McDavid’s Erie Otter’s head coach Kevin Knoblauch. Because of this news and our impromptue start, we did not prep. So I’m a messy 40th episode, we zip around the league and talk William Nylander and his next contract, the Calgary Flames future outlook, the Hall of Fame cases for Corey Perry and Joe Pavelski, and the loser point ruining the league.

In the aftermath of a week out of hell for the Ottawa Senators, Mitch and Ryan break down the punishment and the immediate dismissal of GM Pierre Dorion and reflect on his time in Ottawa. We also look at the coaching situation after a tumultuous week on the ice and how the punishment affects the roster going forward. To wrap up the show and keep the episode from being strictly Sens, we take a look at some notable trends early in the season such as just how terrible the Sharks are, just how good Vancouver is, and that there might be an opening in the Hart race this season.

After a tumultuous weekend, to say the least, for the Ottawa Senators, we should soon find out the punishment for the wacky Evgenii Dadonov trade situation from two seasons ago that had previously been labeled as settled… sike. Mitch and Ryan do their worst to try to figure out the timeline of the trade and why Ottawa is even under consideration to be punished. Anywho, the San Jose Sharks are bad bad, many games were played Saturday night, the NHL needs to expand playoffs, the NHL Frenzy from last Tuesday was cool, the Heritage Classic is tonight, and the NHL needs to do another scenic game à la Lake Tahoe circa 2021.
