Episode 45: Get Out While You Still Can Jan 06, 2016

Show notes

We discuss the recent Jonathan Drouin trade request, and where the Tampa Bay Lightning go from here with him.

We also use that as a gateway for going over other trade rumours such as the best potential landing spots for Dustin Byfuglien, and whether the Nashville Predators should get out from under the Shea Weber contract while they still can.

Episode 44: Ageless Wonder Cats Dec 31, 2015

Show notes

We adopt the Florida Panthers, whose stars are either incredibly young or are defying age by remaining productive will into in their mid-30s and 40s. They're on a nice run right now that has them sitting atop the Atlantic Division, but will they be able to keep it up as the year goes along?

Episode 43: Singing The Blues Dec 30, 2015

Show notes

Craig Custance, who was a Friend Of The Podcast well before it was cool to be one, makes his triumphant return to the show. We adopt the St.Louis Blues, who are approaching a fascinating crossroads with regards to balancing making a run this season while keeping an eye on the future financially.

We also discuss the compelling case Cory Schneider is making to be be Team USA's number one goal at the World Cup, whether Braden Holtby could conceivably sneak into the Hart Trophy debate, and the general glut of high-end talent between the pipes at the NHL level these days.

Episode 42: The Midseason Awards Dec 24, 2015

Show notes

With the NHL in the midst of its Christmas break, we decided to use this newfound free time to go through our awards ballot (roughly) midway through the 2015-16 schedule.

Can 'The Stars Guys' combine for one vote in the Hart Trophy race? Can anyone even make a legitimate case for stealing the awards that Erik Karlsson and Patrice Bergeron respectively won last year? And if you're a coach, do you even want to win the Jack Adams at this point?

Episode 41: The Sochi Model Dec 23, 2015

Show notes

Jeff Marek stops by to show off his hosting chops and preview the upcoming World Junior Championship tournament. We look into Canada's goaltending pipeline, the young squad they're sending this year, and the novel idea of bringing the best players you have at your disposal.

We also discuss who their biggest competition will be this year, and some notable names to keep an eye out for. For people that aren't overly interested in the tournament itself, there's a healthy dose of NHL-centric talk towards the end of the show.

Episode 40: When The Stars Align Dec 22, 2015

Show notes

Friend of The Podcast Mike Johnson joins the show to gush about the Dallas Stars after having just called one of their games for the first time this season.

We also discuss whether the perceived 'East Coast bias' is a real thing, where Drew Doughty stacks up in the Norris discussion, and the psychology of what's going through a player's head when there's a coaching change.

Episode 39: The Blue Jackets Gets Yosted Dec 18, 2015

Show notes

We set our sights on the situation unfolding in Columbus in which John Tortorella has, to the surprise of absolutely no one, healthy scratched his best player in a misguided attempt to try and prove a point.

We also discuss whether there's been any tangible difference in their level of play since the Blue Jackets made the coaching change, and wonder much of the blame Jarmo Kekäläinen should be taking for not only the hire itself but the seemingly inevitable cap hell they're about to find themselves in.

Show notes

Jen Lute Costella joins the show to discuss the tracking project she presented at the RIT Hockey Analytics Conference earlier in the season, and the main takeaways she gleaned from it about how different player types work together.

We also look into how Artemi Panarin and his creativity have been a breath of fresh air for the league, and how the Chicago Blackhawks stack up against some of the other Central Division powerhouses.

Episode 37: The Kings Are Reclaiming Their Throne Dec 16, 2015

Show notes

We adopt the Los Angeles Kings, who are not only quickly distancing themselves from everyone else in the Pacific division but doing so by controlling 5-on-5 play at a historic rate.

We also discuss the recent trade between the Blackhawks and Penguins, how no GM is immune from making bad decisions, and whether the Jets should aim to keep Dustin Byfuglien or Andrew Ladd (or potentially both).

Episode 36: It's Time To Bolt Dec 15, 2015

Show notes

Jonathan Willis takes some time from his frenetic writing schedule to discuss Taylor Hall's ascension towards becoming one of the league's most dominant wingers, and what Edmonton's most optimal forward deployment will look like once they're fully healthy up front.

We also look into how the blame for the struggles in Pittsburgh this season should be divvied up, and the precarious position the Lightning they find themselves in with Steven Stamkos' impending free agency.
