Thrilled to be back in BarrDown Studios, things go a bit haywire on this latest episode of the Sound Of Hockey Podcast. Darren, John, and Andy start off well, exuberant about being back in the same room. But the show hits the fan toward the end, when Andy notices that a certain important weekly segbit has been completely skipped. Hilarity ensues.
The guys start this episode by discussing the Kraken’s controversial foray into NFT’s, before meticulously breaking down the games that have passed since the last show.
When they’ve gotten through all the Kraken news, the guys discuss the firestorm of COVID around the NHL and what it means. They then give a WHL Update before some World Junior Championship discussion. They eventually move on to segbits, and that’s where things go sideways.
Segbits this week include (sort of) Get Off My Lawn, Goalie Gear Corner, Three Stars, and eventually Weekly One-Timers.
The Sound Of Hockey Podcast has a LOT to discuss this week, after the Seattle Kraken experienced significant ups and downs over the course of a week, and the hockey world at large had some big-time stories. There’s plenty of Kraken talk in the early going here, as the guys break down the Detroit, Edmonton, and Pittsburgh games before expanding outside of Seattle.
Even before all that, John, Andy, and Darren open the show by discussing a dog doing its business on the center ice logo for the Philadelphia Flyers, which ironically came right around the time of that team firing its head coach. And speaking of coaches being fired, the Vancouver Canucks cleaned house and brought in one of Darren’s favorite coaches ever in Bruce Boudreau.
Other stories that get touched on in this episode are the Jason Spezza suspension for kneeing Neal Pionk, who was coincidentally also suspended for kneeing in the same game. And of course, the guys do not miss the unbelievable Trevor Zegras to Sonny Milano goal or Sergei Federov pulling his goalie in overtime.
Segbits this week include Serious Business, Bad Boys, Weekly One-Timers, Three Stars, and Tweets of the Week.
Don’t look now, but the Seattle Kraken are suddenly cruising, having won four of their last five games, and the Sound Of Hockey Podcast is here to talk about it (because of course it is)!
This episode starts with Darren needing to get something off his chest, so he dives right into a Get Off My Lawn, while Andy and John desperately try to calm him down. Then they get to their Kraken talk, which is plentiful.
After beating Washington and Carolina at home, Seattle has been on the road, where it has beaten the Florida Panthers and Buffalo Sabres, but lost to the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning. There’s lots to unpack from these victories, including an injury and an illness, impressive play by Will Borgen, and improved goaltending.
Once the Kraken talk dies down, the guys tour around the NHL via Serious Business, where they discuss the waiving of Matt Murray and Evander Kane and the firing of Marc Bergevin and… well… pretty much everyone else in Montreal.
Segments this week include Weekly One-Timers, Goalie Gear Corner, and Three Stars.
Things were bad… then they were really bad… then they were good! The Seattle Kraken snapped a miserable six-game losing streak with an impressive win over the Washington Capitals on Sunday, and the Sound Of Hockey Podcast is here to break down the roller coaster ride that has been this past week.
Within the Kraken section that starts the show, the guys really get into what the fan reaction was during the very tough stretch and what it meant to the team, as well as some mascot news. John, Andy, and Darren then look ahead at upcoming matchups for Seattle, before diving into their usual segbits.
You will get plenty of Kraken talk from this one, folks!
The segbits this week include Three Stars, Weekly One-Timers, and Tweets of the Week.
You are warned, this thing gets really off the rails toward the end to the show, as Darren and Andy try to force in a late addition “Down on the Farm.”
Feeling anxious about the Kraken and their losing streak? Then have we got a podcast for you! It’s the Sound Of Hockey Podcast, of course! On this week’s episode, Alison Lukan makes her second appearance on the show to dig into some of the underlying numbers and help Seattle fans make sense of what has been happening during this tailspin.
She shares her thoughts on how the team is performing, what’s happening with goaltending, and why math indicates that pulling the goalie early is the right thing to do (though Darren refuses to accept her very logical explanation).
Also on this show, John, Andy, and Darren give their own Kraken analysis and check in on Matty Beniers, who is tearing up the Big Ten for Michigan.
Segments (segbits?) include Three Stars, Weekly One-Timers, and Tweets of the Week.
The Sound Of Hockey Podcast is back with a new chuckle-inducing episode that the guys think you will really enjoy. As always, it’s heavy on the segbits, as John, Andy, and Darren meander through the world of hockey, both at the NHL level and beyond. Plenty of Seattle Kraken talk to start the show, like what happened on a painful road trip and how much of the recent struggles have been due to goaltending.
But then the guys shift their focus to discuss:The Jack Eichel trade The Bob Murray resignation The quality of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Segments this week include Sound Of Hockey’s Three Stars, Down on the Farm, Goalie Gear Corner, Weekly One-Timers, and Tweets of the Week.
