  • 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 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Final division preview in the bag and with that we are set for the upcoming NHL season.
    The Pacific Division earns the final honors and on the side, you'll also hear my final trophy and standings predictions without forgetting the moment you guys have been waiting for - my official 2024 cup jinx edition. "Expect the unexpected."
    Lots of hours were spent crafting these four season preview episodes so I truly hope that they brought you some value and worked as miniature catapults for the upcoming NHL campaign. Lots of guys still on PTOs and just this week already we've seen the first major injuries so, a lot can still happen until the puck officially drops for the first time but I'll make sure to keep you up to date on the most notable headlines that significantly change NHL's resting heart rate.
    And just as an extra reminder for you guys who actually happen to read the descriptions, next week indeed we will have another guest on the show so, make sure you put on a notification for next Monday 'cause these guest appearances are not unfortunately everyday phenomenons so you definetly don't want to miss this one either.
    See you again next Monday - Have a blessed week buddy!
    Rest in peace Chris Snow.

  • 3/4 Done.
    NHL Global Series in the books in the land down under and NHL training camps are underway with full throttle which can only mean that we are just few short days away from the opening night of the NHL 2023-2024 regular season.
    We've already covered the Atlantic and Central Divisions in prior weeks which means that today we'll have the Metropolitan Division on the plate to finish off the Eastern Conference before diving into the last remaining division the Pacific, which will be on the cards next week. Metro's power sctructure felt quite a shift during last year's regular season which has completely changed the outlook of the division itself where former veteran powerhouses Pittsburgh and Washington have become the underdogs facing a tough hill to climb when aiming to return back to postseason hockey after 1-year hiatus.
    Few teams were handed a platter full of tough love and I also got to give my honest opinion on the Mike Babcock situation so, listener disgression is adviced and if there's any Isles fans out there, let me know what's your take on your team's current outlook 'cause I've lost my patient with the leadership of your team and you are about to hear that in today's episode.
    1 more to go!

  • Welcome back!
    NHL preseason has officially begun and we are halfway done with our season previews.
    This week our focus is going to be one the Central Division which features multiple teams that are currently trying to find their true identity which makes this division extremely intriguing to follow this upcoming season. Lots of starpower on display mixed in with multitude of exciting young names so, once again we have a lot to unpack (1h 20min is a proof of that) so, grab a drink and make sure no-one is going to interrupt you within the next 80 minutes.

  • It's that time of the year again - SEASON PREVIEWS ARE HERE!
    First division under the microscope and it's nonother than the animalistic Atlantic Division.
    In today's episode, we will conclude each team's last NHL campaign, go over their off-season action, check the outlook for the upcoming season and of course, I'll also give my final verdicts before announcing my final standings predictions (which are coming within the last season preview episode). Yearly scoring leader and breakout player predictions inbound as well, without forgetting my yearly hot takes for each team.
    3 more divisions to go and I'm going to go all in this year with the season previews so, I would really appreciate it if you left a rating for the podcast and pressed the follow button (on Spotify & Social Media channels - scroll down) 'cause you are about to get the necessary details regarding each NHL team within these four season preview episodes.
    Much love - Enjoy!

  • Summer break is over and rightfully so 'cause we got some topics to discuss.
    Episode will be dedicated to two gentlemen Rodion Amirov and Rick Jeanerret who sadly passed away during my break and I want to send my condolences to both of their families.
    NHL 2023-2024 season is rapidly closing down on us which also means that my season previews are just around the corner and in today's episode I will reveal you the plan for the next 4 weeks. On top of that, at the end of this week's episode I'll give you a small teaser of what about to come in the coming weeks so, make sure you stick until the end to find out which topics will be on display once we start to go through each NHL organization.
    This week we will also go through the most recent signings (prospects, free agents and extensions), the two trades that happened during the break, major retirements and as a cherry on top, I will share my honest thoughts on AM34's newest retirement fund announcement.
    So a lot has been packaged to this 1h comeback episode - strap up!

  • Time to check out the ridiculous 2024 NHL Calder class.
    This week's spotlight will be on the young phenoms that will battle for Calder Trophy this upcoming year and how we are actually going to do that, is by going over the most likely candidates to host the trophy in their parents' basement and by finally ranking them according to their Calder odds (provided my yours truly).
    You should expect to see few surprise picks here and there, but for the most part the usual suspects man the top spots on our this week's list and if you happen to disagree, my DMs are always open for civilized discussion.
    Goodbye Bergy, we will miss you and like always, the show is opened by the most recent NHL headlines, so get ready for hour's worth of prospect hype!

  • Welcome bud!
    NHL off-season is in full stride and due to lack of hectic action, we have to fill the void by other means and this week it means that we will paddle our way through my pre-season predictions which have gone under the radar up until this point. Lots of bullseyes and strikes coming right up as we go over my scoring leader, breakout player and hot take predictions and alongside them, deal with the most recent signing and retirement news + of course address the Alex DeBrincat trade which materialized right as I was dowloading the 80th episode for you to enjoy.
    So grab some popcorn and get ready for few laughs thanks to my outrageous visions that date back to October 2022.
