One week away from the big 100!

In our final 2-digit episode, we’ll be covering the few trades that have gone down so far across the Atlantic Ocean, teams that have been getting ready to introduce Macklin Celebrini to their fans but also, the two legend appearances that warmed out hearts within the past 2-weeks.

Quick introduction to NHL’s newest sensation Matt Rempe will kick off our episode and by the end, you’ll know exactly which team has earned the honorary label “west’s Columbus Blue Jackets” for their yearly "sh*t buffet."

Trade deadline approaching, which means - it’s time to check out the marketplace.

Plenty of teams still in the mix when it comes to postseason raffle but that’ll start to change in the next upcoming weeks as the NHL’s annual player auction begins across the Atlantic Ocean.

Few teams with clearly visible shortcomings on the roster front will be highlighted in today’s episode and if you were looking to hear about Columbus’ recent GM firing, you came to the right place buddy ‘cause I’ll be starting the episode off with a recap of Jarmo’s tenure behind the Blue Jackets’ big desk.

So grab a notebook and start getting ready for another intense couple of weeks where names and draft picks will start to fly around the NHL bubble.

All-Star Break in the rear-view mirror which indicates that it's time to head towards the final stretch of the NHL regular season.

First spring season trades, coaching drama, Tate McRae's All-Star appearance and Gary Bettman's latest DD-sized announcement have highlighted the recent NHL headlines so, it's time to check the pulse on the NHL and see what it might have in store for us for the remaining 30 games of the 2023-2024 campaign.

Special segment "What's Up with Uncle Lou" will also make its return in today's show so, grab a warm drink and get ready for tales with our favourite grumpy uncle Lou.

Enjoy!

All-Star Break almost reached, which means we've passed the midway-point of the 2023-2024 NHL season.

Thus, it's time to take a quick glance back in time and check how the dominos have fallen and what we could possibly expect from each team as we get closer to the annual NHL trade deadline.

All 32 teams under the spotlight and unfortunately I couldn't quite crunch it down to 32 minutes as planned but I guess the more the merrier, am I right.

Should we be concerned about the Finnish junior development?

That's the big question of our today's episode and once you've listened to the show, let me know your thoughts in my DMs. ⬇

After falling short in the 2024 WJC I decided that it was finally a suitable time to bring up this question and due to it, I'll be giving my honest opinions and personal views on the subject at hand, while also going over few aspects that might be affecting this in the grand scheme of things.

Free flowing episode up ahead so, no pen and paper needed for this one.

Enjoy!

Like I never left.

This band is back on tour and filled with excitement like a toddler on a sandbox.

A lot has happened since the last time we chatted so, expect to see an action packed return episode once the intro music starts playing. (headliners: WJC, NHL)

Thank you for your patience and understanding, new year up ahead so let's make it the best one so far.

C'mon!

Man cold beaten ✔ & finally back on the NHL horse.

This week's agenda will be tied up to the NHL player front and I'll be covering the entire spectrum when it comes to overall individual performances from the early NHL season.

As you could imagine, some guys need more praise than others, while the final 10 minutes is purely reserved for the names that are in need of serious posture changes before they drag their teams under the surface with them.

Big announcement is also waiting for you hardcore fans in the end as well so, stick till the end to find out what the future holds for the show before the calendar flips over to year 2024.

Have a blessed and joyful holiday season bud. - JT

Boys, boys, BOYS!

The New season is in fully swing and some fan bases are already on the brink of completely breaking down so, it's time for our regular check up featuring teams such as San Jose, Edmonton, Calgary and even Toronto.

Today we will once again focus on the biggest headlines from the past couple of weeks and if you listen carefully, you might here me talk about for example the John Klinberg experiment, Jonathan Huberdeau's ambition to overthrow Andreas Athanasiou from the Minus-King throne as well as the shitshow called the Great Whites of San Jose. We will also touch upon some major injury news + few retirement announcements so, a plate full of different topics is heading your way in a short while.

New week, new topic and this week NHL's rebuilding franchises will be on the crosshair.

We are going to take a stroll to the current bottom feeder teams of the NHL and see how their possible rebuilding and retooling processes are coming along.

As a Habs fan, I can only get so much enjoyment out of my team through an 82 game schedule without any postseason action so purely because of it, I wanted to show my love for the other fans as well that belong to the same support group as I do, who's participants (fans) have seen better days (at least hopefully) since they started to follow the best sport in the entire world.

And the aim here is to keep things light and shiny so, expect to hear some prospect talk as well as speculation regarding each organization's best future outcome.

(07:05) Canadiens
