It’s been a hard week for Sound Of Hockey. Our good friend, Andy Eide, one third of the Sound Of Hockey Podcast, passed away Friday after suffering a stroke on March 18. In this episode, Darren and John pay tribute to their friend.
Andy would want the show to go on, and he would want the guys to talk about the Kraken and their upcoming playoff run, so that’s what happens next.
On this show, SOH also has interviews with Alex Wennberg and Seattle Thunderbirds coach Matt O’Dette.
If you can get through the sad parts at the beginning, it’s a pretty great episode.

With the Kraken now officially in the playoffs for the first time, John and Darren got together to record what they thought would be a half episode, but they got carried away and ended up recording a full episode. So, it’s kind of a “.5” episode, but there’s a lot of content here.
This one starts with plenty of Kraken talk and what the playoff berth means for Seattle. It then goes Down on the Farm, to the WHL, and eventually to Weekly One-Timers.
The guys then spend the remainder of the show answer questions from the Mailbag.

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.
