WE GOT A GM!
…And it’s none other than Ron Francis, AKA Ronnie Franchise, who comes to NHL Seattle with actual GM experience, two Stanley Cups, and a Hall of Fame playing career on his resume.
In this episode of Sound of Hockey, aside from tons of reactionary discussion from Andy, John, and Darren about the hiring, Francis himself actually makes a brief cameo, as Andy had a few minutes to chat with him one-on-one following his introductory press conference.
Aside from all the GM talk, of which there is plenty, the guys also discuss an interesting beer league incident that occurred this past week in an effort to determine whether or not Darren was in the wrong. Plus, Darren gives John a big guilt trip, and Andy shares about a major off-season snafu that happened in the AHL.
Segments this week include Get Off My Lawn, Weekly One-Timers, and Tweets of the Week.

Episode 42 of Sound of Hockey is one of the biggest episodes yet. Recorded in Vancouver fresh off of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, John, Andy, and Darren are pretty amped up after attending that great event.
Featured in this episode is USA National Team Development Program head coach John Wroblewski, who the guys talked to just after a record EIGHT of his players had been drafted in the first round.
While talking to Wroblewski, Buffalo Sabres GM Jason Botterill comically interrupts, as does legendary TSN analyst Craig Button. You won’t want to miss this one.
Also in this episode, Weekly One-Timers come a bit earlier than normal for the sake of chronology, but the guys make up for it with a robust breakdown of the Draft, the trades that occurred over the weekend, and LOTS more.

The season is officially over, but Sound of Hockey is far from its own offseason.
With the NHL Draft just around the corner (and all three of your favorite podcast hosts planning to be in attendance), it was the perfect time to have ESPN’s Chris Peters back on the show for another enlightening interview.
With their first official recurring guest, the guys break down the prospect pool and what to look for at the big event in Vancouver. Chris is a never-ending well of prospect-related information, and he demonstrates that in this interview.
Also in this episode, the guys spend plenty of time doing their own prepping for the Draft, as well as breaking down Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final (the ultimate #Cupdate), and sharing who had the most successful victory parade performances in St. Louis.
Segments this week include Explain It To Us, Weekly One-Timers, and Tweets of the Week.
