Episode 40 of Sound of Hockey is here! It’s relatively a bit shorter than most episodes, but it’s still just as sweet with some good chuckles and rants along the way.
With just one game left on the NHL docket, and it being a Stanley Cup Final Game 7, the guys are quite excited about how things have shaken out in these Playoffs. This leads to some good banter about the continuing officiating questions, the punchability of Brad Marchand, and some disdain for Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski’s ongoing “feud.”
This week, we also get a nice Seattle update from Andy and John about some new arenas being built in the area and everybody freaking out over the colors on the future NHL team’s new website. Plus, Cupdates, Get Off My Lawn, Weekly One-Timers, and a solid Tweets of the Week segment.

On the latest Sound of Hockey, the guys have opted to simply keep the ECHL’s Kelly Cup… Oh, wait, that’s the Colorado Eagles, who have actually made the calculated decision to not return the championship trophy.
Lots of Seattle talk in this episode as well, as John breaks down Tod Leiweke’s recent AMA session, and gives a review of a packed NHLtoSeattle watch party and a reaction to Dave Tippett’s official hiring as head coach of the Edmonton Oilers.
In this episode, you’ll also get a nice dose of #Cupdates, from AHL to NHL, multiple “Get Off My Lawns,” and a solid Goalie Gear Corner.
Plus, the regular segments like Weekly One-Timers and Tweets of the Week.

It’s a BIG one this week, folks!
In Episode 38, Sound of Hockey is joined by four-time Stanley Cup hoisting, Vezina winning, Hall of Fame netminder Grant Fuhr! With Grant, the guys discuss his career, how goaltending has evolved since he entered the NHL, and his new documentary, Making Coco: The Grant Fuhr Story, among many other topics.
Oh, and by the way, Darren manages to squeeze in a Goalie Gear Corner segment… featuring Grant Fuhr… one of the best goalies ever… what a world.
Aside from the great interview, there’s plenty of news to discuss this week, with Dave Tippett heading to Edmonton, Memorial Cup wrapping up, and Calder Cup in full swing. Plus, some IIHF World Championships-related chuckles, and a San Jose Sharks post-mortem.
Don’t worry, the guys also break down Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final and still make it through You Don’t See That Every Day, Weekly One-Timers, and Tweets of the Week.

With the Stanley Cup Final on the horizon, and Game of Thrones now controversially over, Sound of Hockey comes through with another solid episode.
This week, the guys give you some non-NHL news (Seattle stuff, Memorial Cup update, IIHF World Championships chatter, AHL Calder Cup conversation), before diving headlong into the Conference Finals.
Naturally, the overlooked handpass that led to a Sharks overtime game-winning goal gets plenty of discussion, as John predictably defends his beloved San Jose squad. Meanwhile, Andy and Darren attack the necessity of expanded video review, and try to come up with ways to solve this newfound problem, without being too knee-jerk reactionary. The guys also discuss the shocking rumblings out of Ottawa that Patrick Roy is being considered for their coaching job.
Finally, the show moves into its segments, with the triumphant return of Goalie Gear Corner, You Don’t See That Every Day, Tweets of the Week, and John gets HILARIOUSLY duped in Weekly One-Timers.

Among the topics this week, John, Andy, and Darren break down Brad Marchand’s continuing antics, Vladimir Putin’s outstanding hockey skills, and Sergei Bobrovsky’s condo.

Episode 35 of Sound of Hockey is a long one because, well, the guys have a LOT to talk about right now.
This episode starts with what will be the final “in-season” Re:Torts of the year, being that the CBJ’s have been eliminated since this one was recorded. The guys also break down Don Cherry’s latest comments about the Carolina Hurricanes and their jerk-ish ways. SPOILER: Don still doesn’t like them.
Next, you’ll get a beefy Seattle update and a review of the WHL draft (plus the chaos that ensued), before a spirited discussion of the latest groundbreaking news in women’s hockey.
When the guys finally dig in to the NHL Playoffs, you’ll hear about some of the intriguing gamesmanship that has been happening in Round 2, before getting your dose of Weekly One-Timers and even an introduction to a couple new segments.
