The Hockey Minute

Brandon and Ryan sit down with Eric Libby from the 1-3-1 Podcast for an amazing conversation about what's in store for the Chicago Blackhawks. Do Kane and Towes still have what it takes to win? What’s going on in the front office, and who are the young guns coming up? We also breakdown the current state of the playoffs, Big Daddy Vasi style.

Brandon and Ryan are bringing you a jam packed episode talking about all the playoff matchups (or what’s left of them), news about the Jake Allen trade, the newest addition to the Panthers front office, Capitals new coach, and discussion about Boston’s blue line. Most importantly, welcome back Oskar Lindblom!

Brandon and Ryan sit down with the incredibly knowledgable Frank Walker to discuss what went wrong for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Is Seth Jones really all that and a bag of chips? And do they have the offensive depth to make a run? We get in depth discussing the missing pieces, fan expectations, and what we can reasonably expect from CBJ next year.

Anyone else think Kekalainen, Jarmo Kekalainen could be the next James Bond? No? Just me? Gotta lay off the martinis..

Brandon and Ryan have Nick and Nick on from the Tip of the Ice-Burgh Podcast to do a complete post mortem on the Pittsburgh Penguins. Are the Pens still in 'win now mode', is a lack of 1st rounders hurting their long term chances, and how much gas do Sid and Geno have in the tank? 

Also - this episode was recorded JUST before the blockbuster Kapanen trade, and yes, we know the Penguins no longer have their first draft pick - don't @ us.

These guys are fantastic - give them a listen:  @IceBurghPodcast
