We’re back at it this week, chatting about a real beauty — longtime Talkin’ Hockey favourite, the mustachioed wonder, Mr. Dave Babych! If you’ve listened to the pod, you know the boys love Babs — we’ll tell you about his time patrolling the blue line from Winnipeg to Hartford, from Vancouver to Philly and beyond!
Then, we head down to the rink to catch some Garage League of Hockey action between the After Noon(an) Delights and Where The Frykas Randy — we’ve got some rinkside interviews with some league luminaries and in the third frame, we give you a break down of the Jet’s week that was and touch base on a couple Central Division rivals.
-
Back at it for another week and we just can’t escape the steely gaze of our number 43, tendy turned commentator Martin Biron! He plyed his trade mostly with the Sabres in Buffalo, but also had stops in Philly and with both New York squads!
Then we talk about your undefeated Winnipeg Jets, who at the time of recording are almost a tenth of the way towards an unbeaten record this year. The fellas tell you who is hot so far this year, and note a couple of players who are off to a slower start.
And then in the third period, it’s a real hodge podge — we talk vertical striped socks, boss eagle mascots and defunct Winnipeg hockey clubs!

After a Thanksgiving induced break, your co-hosts are back from their food comas and ready to talk some hockey!
We’re calling this episode THE MAKAROV in honour of Sergei Makarov — the man who put the M in the KLM line and racked up an astounding 13 (!!!) Gold Medals during an amazing international career. Though he hit the NHL ice late in his career, he still won the rookie of the year award at the age of 31 (and caused a rule change that will forevermore bare his name) and averaged almost a point a game over 5 and half seasons in the big show!
Then we’re joined by longtime friend of the show, Eric Adams, an Oregonian transplanted in Salt Lake City. He’ll tell us all about the excitement that the Utah HC is bringing to the SLC area, if the fans are a knowledgeable bunch and most importantly, which of these former Coyotes do you want on your fantasy squad!
Finally, we close with the segment you’ve been eagerly awaiting — that’s right it’s time for the Garage League update! Once again, your favourite co-hosts are twirlin’ around the ice each week at the Winnipeg Winter Club and we’ll tell ya all about Season 3 of Garage League action thus far!

And. We. Are. Back.
That’s right friends, your favourite hosts are back to talk a little hockey with Season 7, Episode 1 a little episode that we’re called THE HALAK, after great Slovakian tendy Jaroslav Halák! Didn’t he wear #41 you say? Well friend, he sure did — this year we decided that we wanted to give some of our high numbered friends their due, so we’re picking up our episode name game where season 6 left off!
Jaro, or the Halak-Ness Monster as his pals liked to call him played in the show for 18 (!!!) years with 7 different squads, often playing the 1A role in the netminder tandem, winning 2 Jennings Trophies along the way for his troubles.
Then we shift our focus to the now and talk at great length about your Winnipeg Jets — the boys in Blue, White and Red start the season this Wednesday in Edmonton and we give you a season preview and tell you why Brad Lambert isn’t in the opening night lineup, but also why you might see him sooner than later.
And then we go rapid fire in period three as co-host Jared put co-host Tom on the hot seat and gets some predictions for the 2024 – 25 season!
All this and great tune too — glad to be back gettin’ those pucks deep!
-
Your favourite hockey talkin’ hosts are back with the season 6 finale — THE TUUKA! We go in depth about the Bruins lifter, trying to figure out if he won a cup or not — he put up some really great stats during his 15 years, and has a wasp named after him to boot!
Then we talk about the recent flurry of moves — Rutger to the Pens and Yaeger to the Jets! Broberg & Holloway to the Blues! Askarov to the Sharks! Laine to the Habs!
And we wrap with a supersized Pack-A-Day habit segment with 1991 – 92 O‑Pee-Chees and 1991 Score! -
As we’ve hit the higher numbers, there’s been a lot of ‘tendy talk on the program and today the fellas have a real beauty for you — The Dominator! That’s right, one of the greatest goalies of this era, number #39 Dominik Hašek — he was a standout for the Buffalo Sabres and later on, picked up a couple of cups as a member of the Detroit Red Wings. Plus he won 6 Vezina trophies, an Olympic gold medal and collected a whole bunch of other accolades along the way, playing in the show until the age of 43!
Then, we wrap up our Four Nations Cup roster discussion with a double shot, covering teams Sweden & Finland!
On the Pack-A-Day habit, we stick with the Pro Set kick and spotlight the 1990 – 91 Series Two edition!
-
Here we are for another episode, this week it’s #38 — The Demitra! Of course we’re talkin’ Pavel Demitra, the late, great Slovakian superstar who plied his trade for the Sens, Blues, Kings, Wild and Canucks, plus was an beast on the international ice, leading the 2010 Olympics in points! Sadly his life was taken too early as part of the horrific Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash.
Then, we continue our Four Nations Cup early preview and look at some of the hard decisions facing ol’ Billy Guerin as he assembles what looks to be a stacked US roster!
Pack-A-Day today are some real beauties — the 1990 – 91 Pro Set Series One!
-
The boys are coming in smooth on this holiday Monday with an episode named after a great all around player — Patrice Bergeron! He amassed almost 1100 points during his career, played exclusively with the Boston Bruins, but perhaps is known best as the top shut down centre man of is generation, garnering 6 Selke trophies.
Then in a nod to ol’ Patrice, we talk about upcoming roster possibilities for the 2025 Team Canada Four Nation’s Cup roster — who’s in, who’s out, who is on the bubble and who should be a lock!
Pack-A-Day habit is the 1990 – 91 O‑Pee-Chee set — we both have some stellar pulls and eat some 30 year old gum.
-
We’re getting into the weird numbers here kids, not gonna lie — our other options today were Mike Eagles and J.J. Daigneault! We think that we made the right pick though going with rugged customer Matthew Barnaby — he caused problems for opposing players during stops in Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Tampa, Colorado, Chicago and Dallas and caused a few problems for himself off the ice!
We spend period two doing a fun little re-draft of the first dozen picks from the 2016 NHL draft — sure Auston still goes #1, but the rest of those first twelve is a bit of a shake up and a fun exercise to be sure. Plus, we predict an old pal to the Jets at #18!
On Pack-A-Day habit, we’ve got one of the nicest sets ever — the 1990 – 91 Upper Decks that honestly changed the hockey card game forever!
-
After a 2 week break, your favourite hockey talkin’ duo is back with season 6, episode 35 — the Moog! Ol’ Andy had a pretty stellar career across 18 season, winning 3 cups and backstopping some great Oilers, Bruins and Stars teams to 372 career victories — he capped it all off with a final season in Montréal, something that co-host Jared had completely forgotten about!
Then, we talk about a summer of (in)activity from your Winnipeg Jets and discuss what the next contract looks like for Cole Perfetti. Plus we tip our caps farewell to Joe Pavelski, and sing sayonora to Evgeny Kuznetsov.
Our pack-a-day habit this week is 1994 – 95 O‑Pee-Chee Première!
-
Say hey, it’s Canada Day and the boys are here for a supersized episode named after a smallish goalie who put up big stats — John Vanbiesbrouck aka The Beezer!
We’ll talk Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, the initial Four Nation Cup player announcements, a brief discussion this year’s Hall Of Fame Class and then we talk about player movement — draft picks, trades and free agency, oh my!
-
The boys are back at it this week to talk all about one of the greatest to ever play between the pipes — number thirty-three, the great Patrick Roy! He backstopped the Habs to 2 cups and then after a controversial trade, backstopped the Avalanche to 2 more! He’s near the top of the heap in pretty much every ‘tendy stat that there is and is a certified legend!
We also talk the flurry of moves this week — Markstrom to the Garden State and PLD goes to Washington — plus, have your Jets hit a Rut(ger) when it comes to signing the Michigan phenom?
Plus, we’ve got a fresh stack of wax packs and tear into some 1994 – 95 Score cards!
-
We’re back at it this week, talking about a prototypical pest, Caps/Nordiques legend Dale Hunter! He holds the record amongst 1000 pt producers with almost 3300 minutes in penalties — he enjoyed his time in the sin bin so much that when they retired his number, the Capitals gave him one of the old penalty boxes from the Capital Centre!
We also talk about a potential flicker of life in Edmonton after an emphatic win in Game 4 of the Cup finals, plus some upcoming off-season rumblings — basically we talk about whether or not the Jets will trade Nikolaj Ehlers once again!
And on this week’s Pack-A-Day segment, the great 1990 Pro Set series one cards are ripped and we pull some real beauties! -
We’re back with another new episode, uncharted waters as we’ve never gotten to 31 before!
The fellas are talkin’ some Grant Fuhr, perhaps the best goalie of all time?!?! There’s a couple of others who could lay claim, but he was certainly the best of the 80’s — amassing 4 cups and a boatload of other accolades as he backstopped those great Oiler’s squads in ‘tendy tandems with Andy Moog and last week’s feature, Billy Ranford!
We’re talkin’ some Oilers/Panthers Stanley Cup Finals, but we’ve only got game #1 to go on, since they’re slowplayin’ the finals! Plus some 4 Nations Cup chatter and we weight in on the Utah team name finalists.
On Pack-A-Day, we rip into some 1991 – 92 Parkhursts — another sweet looking card!
-
We’re back this week to tell ya about Bill Ranford — two time cup winner for the Boston Bruins and Edmonton Oilers, and and absolute beast in international play! He was a quality stand-up ‘tendy who always looked stellar on a hockey card and kept it clean between the pipes!
We also talk about co-host Tom’s newfound dental adventures as well as updates on the quest for Lord Stanley, who hoisted the first ever Walter cup awarded to the PWHL champions, and who’s set to face off for the Memorial Cup!
Plus on this week’s Pack-A-Day habit, we open up some 1991 – 91 Upper Deck High Series cards, and they’re some real beauties! -
Hey hey, it’s Monday and the boys are here with episode 29, it’s everyone’s favourite pallindrome — the OTTO! That’s right we talk all about this defensive stalwart who was top notch at the face-off dot, Bemidji State all-timer Joel Otto (not co-host Jared, in case you were wondering!)
Then we break down the predicted coaching hire for the Jet’s, Scott Arniel and start to wade through the Athletic’s Jets Off-Season fan poll.
Plus we open up packs of 1992 O‑Pee-Chee Premier cards on Pack-A-Day!
-
We’re back this week talking about offensively gifted defenseman, a great #28, Steve Duchesne! He may have kept his suitcase packed, but he put up a lot of points for a few teams, and seemed like a heckuva nice guy!
We also discuss the playoffs to date, as we wait for the 4th partner to join the final four dance on the eve of the Canucks-Oilers game 7. We do a quick recap of the PWHL and the World Hockey Championships…
Pack-A-Day this week is 1990 Score and we pull some real beauties!
-
Back at it tell you about a fine number 27 — the great Gilles Meloche! This mustachioed tendy patrolled the pipes for the likes of the California Golden Seals, Cleveland Barons and Minnesota North Stars, so you know he felt the sting of more than a few biscuits to the side of the head! He currently sits at 4th all-time in the Goalie loss leaders, where he’s got some pretty good company.
We also get caught up on Round Two playoff action, look at some head coaching vacancies and debut our brand new pack-a-day segment!
-
Back for another week to talk about game we all know and love, we’re here with episode 26 — The Milbury! The boys tell you all about rugged defenseman Mike Milbury, who was a bit of a shoe aficionado, then later a subpar GM with the Isles and a longtime commentator with some questionable hot takes!
We break down a predictable round one of the NHL playoffs — the teams you think would win won, and the won we wanted to win didn’t. But the Leafs lost again, and that’s okay!
And then we start to dissect what will happen with your Winnipeg Jets offseason — will Old Bones stay? Do any of the UFA’s make Winnipeg their home? And does Nik Ehlers take his drycleaning to a new city — we’ve got thoughts as always…
-
After last week’s live Pledge-O-Rama show, your favourite hosts are back and recording the show from comfortable confines. We break down the great career of one Mr. Joseph Nieuwendyk — this hall of famer won cups with 3(!!!) different teams, helped bring the gold back to Canada in the 2002 Olympics and proved to be an excellent two-way centreman.
Then we talk about the playoffs — first trying to dissect exactly what’s gone wrong for your Winnipeg Jets and then talking about some of our other favourite playoff highlights and stories.
No music today — instead we play you some of our favourite calls from the late, great Bob Cole. Truly Mr. Saturday Night, may he rest in peace.
