Episode 15 of Sound of Hockey unintentionally features a lot of comical mascot talk. For some reason, John, Andy, and Darren just keep coming back to those fuzzy–and sometimes temperamental–creatures, because… well… why not?
John remains on his week-long hockey odyssey and shares his experiences from Edmonton and Winnipeg. Meanwhile, back in Seattle, Andy and Darren break down their visit to Team USA’s WJC Training Camp and explain why the Silvertips and Thunderbirds had the longest first period of all time (or so it felt).
In a thrilling twist, the guys reveal a brand new segment, which you won’t want to miss, before moving back into some of the old classics… Weekly One-Timers, Games On Our Radar, and perhaps even a couple of impromptu segment appearances.
Lots of hearty laughs to be had in this episode.

Awesome episode this week, as Andy, John, and Darren welcome ESPN Draft and Prospect Analyst, Chris Peters, onto Sound of Hockey in preparation for the World Junior Championship.
With Chris, the guys go in depth on prospects coming to Everett for WJC Training Camp, determine who will be impactful in the NHL as early as next year, and dissect the legend of Colton Saucerman. Chris also partakes in a rousing game of Buy, Sell, or Hold, which you won’t want to miss.
Also in this episode, our hosts discuss the recent article from The Athletic that highlights some players likely to be available for the 2021 Expansion Draft. Spoiler, they think P.K. Subban will make a great addition to Seattle’s hockey culture.
Later, they dive into a monster version of Weekly One-Timers that features such topics as a goal being scored off of referee Tim Peel’s… uh… midsection… and Jonathan Drouin accidentally taking a shot at the Senators.
Other segments include Goalie Gear Corner, and Games On Our Radar.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!
Seattle has officially been awarded the 32nd NHL franchise, and John Barr, Andy Eide, and Darren Brown are here to tell you all about it!
In Episode 13, Darren starts the show off with a VERY unique musical tribute to his co-host, John, for all of the incredible work that John put in to make the NHL coming to Seattle a reality (don’t laugh at Darren, he tried really hard). Then the guys recap the events of December 4th and just how special they were, from the announcement itself, to the reaction of the community, to our politicians trash-talking Vancouver.
During NHL Seattle’s party that day, Andy and Darren managed to get some live fan reactions from a few friends of the NHLtoSeattle cause, so those clips are in the show. Nick Cotsonika of NHL.com even drops by to give his two cents on the matter (spoiler, Nick doesn’t think Seattle will win the Cup in its first season).
John also gives his review of seeing The Mighty Ducks for the first time ever. Then the guys dive into current NHL news, such as the hiring of Chuck Fletcher to be the GM of the Flyers, William Nylander finally signing with the Maple Leafs (thank God that’s over), and the big trade between the Blackhawks and Coyotes.
Plus, tons of general hockey talk in Weekly One-Timers, Get Off My Lawn, and Games On Our Radar.

Episode 12 is here, and the guys have lots to talk about after two coach firings, two very full slates of NHL games on the days before and after Thanksgiving, and one Gritty wedding crash. Darren has been on vacation in New York during recording, but refuses to miss a week #ForThePod!
This week, the guys discuss the upcoming December 4th Board of Governors vote to determine whether or not Seattle will be granted an NHL hockey franchise, as well as what they expect to come out of that meeting. They also consider the various factors surrounding when the team will actually start, as lots of rumblings have been happening about a 2021 start as opposed to a 2020 start.
Looking around the NHL, Andy, John, and Darren break down the coaching changes in Edmonton and St. Louis, examine the Sabres’ awesome hot streak, and have their minds boggled at Patrik Laine’s scoring tear. Oh, and they make fun of Brian Burke for hating the Hurricanes’ “surge” celebration.
Plus, Weekly One-Timers, Buy/Sell/Hold, and Games on the Radar.

The title of this week’s episode may spoil this, but… Sound of Hockey welcomes Emily Kaplan to Episode 10!
John, Andy, and Darren have a great chat with ESPN’s National Hockey Reporter and co-host of ESPN On Ice with Wyshynski and Kaplan about her experiences so far in her role.
Plus, plenty of hockey talk with Emily about such topics as the Joel Quenneville firing, Seattle’s hockey culture, and which host should be most excited about his team. Emily even helps the guys do this week’s Buy, Sell, or Hold.
Aside from the interview, there’s lots of Seattle discussion, a breakdown of the Senators talking s*** about their coaches, Weekly One-Timers, Get Off My Lawn, and much more!

On the latest episode of Sound of Hockey, John, Andy, and Darren start by sharing their heartfelt love for Brad Marchand, who recently pulled yet another interesting stunt to get himself in hot water.
On the Seattle front, John confesses that he’s never seen The Mighty Ducks, when sharing about the upcoming SIFF film festival event. This leads to some spoilers of classic hockey films, because Andy just can’t contain himself.
Next, the guys dive into the LA Kings’ firing of coach John Stevens and what it means for that franchise. After spending way too much time on the Kings, they then spend even more time on the Canucks, much to Darren’s dismay, but eventually appease him with Goalie Gear Corner.
In Weekly One-Timers, discussion topics include:
-Jonathan Quick getting injured again
-Slava Voynov applying for reinstatement (ew)
-Yanni Gourde and Pekka Rinne getting contract extensions
The show wraps with another rousing round of Buy, Sell, or Hold.
