Episode 197: You Can Hear Everything Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

Week 3 of the '26-27 NHL season is in the books! We spent the first half discussing the goalie mindset, documentaries, football, and falling attendance numbers. Later we talked about national anthems, shots from behind the net, and early GAR predictions.

Episode 196: Early Season Observations Oct 13, 2026

Show notes

It's still way too early to say anything about whether your favorite team is good or bad. That said, we still tried (sort of). In the first half we discussed the Flyers, coaching media tactics, and fantasy letdowns. Later, we talked bad teams, early standouts, and the X-Files.

Episode 195: Expected Goals Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

The first week of the '26-27 NHL season is in the books, and as is tradition it's too early to say anything conclusive. Instead, we chatted about Vince Dunn, broadcasts, concession food, David Lynch, and early vibes. In the second half we talked exclusively about xG.

Episode 194: '26-27 NHL Season Preview! Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

Our team projections are now updated for the '26-27 NHL season, and our season preview article is up on the site! We spent the entire episode discussing the model, the league environment, each division, and every team (I think). If you want hockey discussion, no recurring episode ever has more!

Episode 193: End of the Summer Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

The season starts in six days. We're a little too early for our annual season preview episode, so we thought we'd wrap up the summer properly before we get to that. We discussed recent contracts, fantasy, initial contract analysis, extensions, bowling, and 1.5x listening.

Episode 192: GOALIES Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

The theme of this episode is goalies. Things got really messy. I suppose that makes *a lot* of sense. Between all of that we talked about the perfect replacement level team, unexplained phenomenons, plants, fasting, and Dennis Quaid.

Episode 191: Cale Makar and Projections Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

It's time for us to start talking about hockey again (even if we spent 15 minutes talking about the MN State Fair). We spent the first half discussing our recently released fantasy projections and then moved on to Cale Makar and team construction questions.

Episode 190: Offseason Vibes Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

The Twins are back from the only vacation they take every year, and nothing is going on. It's all vibes. We spent the first half discussing pseudoscientific managerial assessment tools and prospect evaluation questions. Later, we pondered the Leo Carlsson offersheet and native thistles.

Episode 189: Evolving Wilderness Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

We've been doing this for almost five years, and this episode is the most "offseason" episode we've ever recorded. We spent the first half talking about native plants (I'm not kidding), and the second half discussing ophthalmology and preseason hockey. Hell yeah.

Episode 188: July Recap Jul 28, 2026

Show notes

It's been 19 days (it was only supposed to be like 14), but we're back in full offseason mode. We spent the entire episode covering all of the important things that happened in July such as: Legoland, Air Bud, The Bourne Identity, depressing jigsaw puzzles (and I guess some hockey content).
