Ryan and Mitchell unpack the blockbuster deal that went down Monday night between the Islanders and Canucks, and that it was an extremely rare case where both team's lose in the deal. We then discuss the All-Star replacement fiasco that now has the All-Star game Kraken-less, and potential destinations for Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko as the rumour mill heats up.

Ryan and Mitchell recap Friday and Saturday night's games, discuss Montreal's weird roster, Steven Stamkos hitting 500 goals, the NHL's constant inability to effectively schedule hockey games, and Matthew Berlin appearing as an EBUG in Edmonton's 7-3 win over Chicago Saturday night.

The Bandwagon Hockey Podcast welcomes back Brock University student Jacob Snow as he returns to talk about the coaching debacle (and pretty much everything else) in Vancouver. We cover the Boudreau firing, the Tocchet hiring, the JT Miller "project", the team's cap structure, potential trades, and what we would have our first transaction be if given control of the Canucks for a day.

To wrap up the show, Mitchell and Ryan go over Monday night's games, including Gaudreau's return to Calgary, yet another stellar Nylander performance against the Islanders, and the ongoing mess in Florida and how one ill-advised contract has sewered the on-ice outlook of that franchise.

Following up on our first episode back where we reviewed the entire Eastern Conference by running through the standings, we do the same for the Western Conference. From top to bottom, we start with the Dallas Stars and end with the Anaheim Ducks. We make a few pitstops and spend some extra time on the teams that we expect to be big players at the NHL trade deadline on March 3rd, namely the Minnesota Wild, St. Louis Blues, Arizona Coyotes and the San Jose Sharks. We also briefly touch on the firing of Canucks firing of head coach Bruce Boudreau as we Vancouver.

Welcome to the Bandwagon Hockey Podcast!

After a month long break from recording, Mitchell and Ryan return under and new name to go over the Eastern conference. We run through the teams in order of the standings and we discuss everything from contract negotiations, trade rumours, individual player performance, the playoff race, and the Bedard watch as we get up to speed on all things East from the last month.
