So the trade was finally consummated between the Avalanche, the Senators and the Predators, question is, who won? Calgary is in a fight and not just on the ice. We bash Chiarelli again, it is becoming a habit. As always Penguins chatter, and whatever else tickles our fancy. Thanks for listening!
Episode 172 The first rumblings of Duchene actually being moved have been heard and PK Suban was a part of them. Are the Penguins issues bigger than effort? Who looks like the real deal out of the surprises so far this season? Thanks for listening!
Episode 171 There are some teams bumbling along at the bottom of their divisions, when do they start to panic. Pittsburgh finally made a trade for that 3rd line center. The team however continues to bleed shots. We also discuss the RITAC conference Ryan was lucky enough to attend. Thanks for listening!
Episode 170 So it is a Penguins dominant podcast, the league is pretty quiet at the moment, there are just not enough games played to make judgements on other teams right now. Look at Ovi go! It is great when he is going, how much fun is hockey! Early season surprises, Detroit leading the Atlantic and Colorado leading the Central. You are lying if you said you booked that to start the season. Small samples are fun aren't they! Thanks for listening!
So the season started, that is a good thing unless you are the Pittsburgh Penguins who have bled goals since the drop of the puck in their first game. Around the league you have great stories, McDavid is awesome, Fleury won his first start, and any and all predictions are wrong because of the first week of hockey. Oh, and there is an Australian who is now an official NHL player, congratulations Nathan Walker! It is great to have hockey back! Thanks for listening!
Episode 168 With the current sports-politics environment we are in, the Hockey Hurts podcasts picks a side, something the Penguins failed to do. If you would like to miss the politics and sports clashing you can move forward to 36:24 to head back to the regular hockey conversation, but I would love you to push through it and listen. Penalties and reactions to them are discussed, we look at the long-term result, not the short-term pain. We get to the final divisional preview of the pre-season, the Metro. It is a tough division to pick, especially with the changes in Washington. Thanks for listening!
Episode 167 So we have the Bruins, Jets and Avalanche coming to agreement with some important players on their roster, each very different from the other. This division is a mess and hard to pick, very hard. Both Ryan and Cameron thought they were going to surprise each other with one of their picks, turns out they were both wrong! Thanks for listening!
Episode 166 There have been rumors going around about changing the draft age to 19, it is silly and we say so in this episode of the podcast. The Department of Player Safety cops the wrath of Walshy again, but it is once again the status quo no matter who is in charge. The Atlantic preview sees some flip flopping from Ryan and Cameron as this division is a little bit of a rollercoaster due to injuries and expected improvements and regression both caused by aging. Thanks for listening!
Episode 165 Walshy feels this is the worst division in hockey, great teams are fading and young teams are yet to prove they can handle the role of being the hunted rather than the hunter. Vegas gives Vancouver a break from being last, but is that a good thing? Do the powerhouse teams of the last few years, San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles give up their spots to the upstart Oilers and Flames? As always thanks for listening and enjoy!

The Oilers have the 3 center model all signed up, with Leon Draisaitl having signed his 8-year x $8.5M contract. Are they in a cap crunch because of McDavid and Draisaitl or are there other contracts that will see RNJ moved out of Edmonton? Matt Cullen is back in Minnesota, great for the Wild, holes are starting to get deeper for Pittsburgh. They could get worse with a Hornqvist extension too! Jagr watch might wrap up in Calgary, where will Will Butcher land and what is going on in Detroit with A squared? As always thanks for listening and enjoy!
