This is a bit of a tough episode for John and Darren, who recorded this one without their good friend, Andy Eide, who collapsed at the Kraken game Saturday. As of the posting of this episode, Andy remains in ICU, recovering from a stroke. So, John and Darren give some background on what has been going on on that front, share their favorite memories of their ongoing friendship with Andy, and give thanks for the incredible outpouring of support from the hockey community.

That discussion lasts for about the first 17 minutes of the episode, so if you want to get to the more lighthearted stuff, you can jump ahead to that point in the episode. The guys hope you’ll hang around, though, because there’s some good, emotional conversation in there.

Once they get through that, John and Darren shift their focus to hockey talk, because that’s what Andy would want.

So, they talk about the latest Kraken games against San Jose, Edmonton, and Dallas. Once they walk through those games, they go “Down on the Farm,” where the Coachella Valley Firebirds have clinched a playoff spot in their first season. They then discuss the recent Wisconsin women’s win of the NCAA tournament and the men’s NCAA hockey bracket being released.

Finally, they shift to segments, which this week include Bad Boys, Weekly One-Timers, Tweets of the Week, and Three Stars.
