We're back after our broken promise of a normal schedule. Despite our best efforts, we spent a little time discussing the Babcock situation in Columbus then moved on to Ottawa and the Sanderson signing, contract theory, and a recent lack of publicized NHL tardiness?

Episode 83: It's Fantasy Time! Sep 06, 2023

Episode #80: Five Days into NHL Free Agency Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

We're through five days of free agency. So far it's been a lot of things, and we have thoughts. We spent the whole hour covering all of it. Contract projections, Twitter, left-field contracts, and team evaluations. It's nice to be back.

Episode #79: Stanley Cup, Team Construction, and Contracts! Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

The Golden Knights are your 2023 Stanley Cup Champions, which means hockey (in its played form) is now over. We discussed the Cup Final, transitioned to a larger discussion about skater size and team construction, and spent the second half covering a few recent contracts and gaming.

Episode #78: Round 3, Defunct NHL Teams, and League News Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

The Conference Finals are done, and we weren't particularly impressed with them. We discussed the series, learned about now-defunct NHL teams, talked probability theory, and tried to cover everything that's happened in NHL front offices recently.

Episode #77: The Leafs, Coyotes, and Geography May 18, 2023

Show notes

Round 2 is complete, and well, it wasn't necessarily the best round we've watched. That said, there's a lot here. We discussed the second round, the upcoming Conference Finals, the Leafs' potential problems, the Coyotes actual problems, and spent way too long figuring out where the bayou is.

Episode #76: Draft Lottery, Round 2, and Draisaitl May 09, 2023

Show notes

We recorded immediately after the draft lottery, and none of us were exceptionally happy about it. We chat about the aforementioned lottery, the ongoing second round of the playoffs, cleaning agents, and Leon Draisaitl... with quite a bit of rambling throughout.
