In this jam-packed episode before we retreat to our metaphorical cottages, the crew talks about the latest morally bankrupt move from the NHL, the 2024 draft, and the opening of free agency. We will be moving to a lighter posting schedule over the summer, once or twice a month, probably. Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform or on YouTube to be notified when an episode drops.

0:00 Benjamin welcomes SJ and Alex for their shifts at the Neutral Zone Hotel.

1:41 The NHL announced at 4:00 PM on the opening day of free agency that it was reinstating disgraced Chicago Blackhawks executives Stan Bowman, Joel Quenneville, and Al MacIsaac. The crew discusses why this is a problem, why many fans are upset,  why the 200 Hockey Men don't understand that it's a problem, and why it's the Oilers who are showing an interest in Bowman.

24:42 The crew presents their winners and losers of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft held at SPHERE.

41:11 The crew talks a bit about the Vegas Golden Knights drafting Trevor Connolly at 19th overall. There a number of red flags around Connolly, including an instagram post of a swastika made out of children's blocks. Another red flag was Vegas' handling of the pick at the draft. 

50:33 The crew wraps up the draft conversation by talking about Celine Dion and a few more picks they liked. 

53:54 The crew presents winners and losers of the first two days of the 2024 free agency period.

0:00 This week, Alex welcomes Benjamin, Trevor, and John for their shifts at the Neutral Zone Hotel.

2:22 The Florida Panthers have won the Stanley Cup. The crew talks about the win, game 7, the series, Connor McDavid winning the playoff MVP award even though his team lost, and what it means in the future for both the Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers. 

22:56 Shortly after the Stanley Cup was awarded, news broke that because the upcoming land sale was cancelled by the Arizona State Land Department earlier in the week, former Arizona Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo was planning to tell the NHL Board of Governors that he was walking away from the right to reactivate the franchise. The crew has a short discussion about how Meruelo made a bad situaion in Arizona much worse in a short time. 

34:46 PWHL free agency has opened. Benjamin offers a quick rundown of the early signings along with his thoughts. 

43:02 The AHL Calder Cup Final is also finished. The Hershey Bears beat the Coachella Valley Firebirds in 6 games. Benjamin and Trevor briefly talk about having seen the Bears this season and the future of the Seattle Kraken.

44:59 The Stanley Cup has been awarded, the NHL draft is days away, so it's trade season in the NHL. The crew recaps a few of the notable trades.

1:01:47 The Hockey Hall of Fame has announced its inductees for this year. The crew discusses where the committee got it right and where it was wrong.

1:13:49 It's time for the Eastern Conference offseason needs lightning round. Hopefully, the crew did better this episode than last episode, when they were wronger than my Rangers prediction.

1:15 The crew talks about whether the Vancouver Canucks can hold out against a top-heavy Edmonton Oilers team or if the Oilers will ultimately score their way out of their defensive problems.

16:42 There's bad blood between the Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins. The crew discusses whether Sam Bennett should have gotten suspended for knocking Brad Marchand out of game 4. (Spoiler Alert: Yes.)

21:17 The Carolina Hurricanes just won't die, but can they pull off the reverse sweep? Also, Jacob Trouba wins the Mark Messier Leadership Award for Leadery Leadership. 

35:38 The Colorado Avalanche aren't looking good in their series against the Dallas Stars. This is in part because Valeri Nichushkin was suspended for a minimum of 6 months for violating the terms of the Player Assistance Program by failing a drug test. 

45:33 It's the first round of the PWHL playoffs. Has Montreal's really short bench killed them in the playoffs? Minnesota is having attendance problems. 

52:04 PWHL New York has parted ways with its coach, Howie Draper. 

54:42 Bauer will become the new hockey equipment and apparel brand for the PWHL.

58:29 There was an announcement by Leafs podcaster Steve Dangle of a new 3-on-3 hockey league called Major League Hockey that may or may not exist. The league appears to be backed by the Saudi public investment fund. Benjamin talks a bit about the fund and its sportswashing efforts. CW: There is a small amount of graphic description of human rights abuses in this segment.

13:34 The Arizona Coyotes are moving to Utah. Sort of. The players, coaches, and front office staff are going and the name, IP, and AHL affiliate are staying in Arizona. Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo has five years to build an arena in Arizona and pay back the purchase price to reinstate the Coyotes.

15:43 Since Meruelo is retaining the Coyotes name, the team in Utah is going to need a name. The crew reads listener suggestions for a name and shares their own ideas.

35:06 The crew talks about what's next for the Utah Placeholders.

42:27 Finally, the crew gives its thoughts on how likely it is that Meruelo can meet the NHL's conditions. 

50:58 The NHL Coaching Carousel is open for business. Joel Quenneville has started making the rounds again trying to launder his reputation enough that he can get another coaching job just as there is an opening in Buffalo.

1:01:32 It's NHL Awards Time! The crew hands out the major awards.

SJ welcomes Trevor and Benjamin to the Neutral Zone Hotel.
2:29  PWHL Takeover Weekend was a smashing success in Detroit and Pittsburgh. Benjamin talks about attending the game in Pittsburgh and also shares some bar stories from the trip. 
  
16:22  The first ever PWHL Trade Deadline has passed. The crew breaks down the two trades that occurred.
  
28:44  Trevor gives us a rundown on what the newly announced PWHL hockey cards could look like when they finally debut.
  
37:10  The recent tragic death of former NHL enforcer Chris Simon leads the crew to tackle the heavy topic of CTE and early death among former NHL players. Content warning on this segment for discussion of suicide, mental health issues, and substance addiction. If you are currently in crisis, call 988 in the United States or Canada for help.
  
56:27  The crew ends with a very quick roundup of a few other news items that surfaced in the NHL this week from GM meetings to Arizona land auctions.

11:33 Canada wins the Rivalry Series in a reverse sweep, and SJ is sad. Me? I'm in denial.

17:40 Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly tried to decapitate Ottawa Senators forward Ridly Greig for the crime of taking a slapshot into an empty net and got his dumb ass suspended five games. Many Leafs fans and media jumped to Rielly's defense, citing The Code. But what exactly is The Code? Benjamin breaks down the history of The Code. Then the crew discusses its place in the game today and its application to the Rielly incident.

38:22 Fanatics is taking over the NHL's jersey manufacturing next season. Will the NHL's jersey quality get noticeably worse? What teams will change their look for next season? The crew has answers. Or guesses, anyway.

It's a big news week. First up, we will note a trigger warning in the final NHL news segment starting at 28:24. There is an update about the SA case against five members of the Canadian World Junior team. There is no discussion of the incident in question, but please skip to the next section if you'd rather not listen. In other news, Sean Monahan and Elias Lindholm were traded. Not for each other. Jesse Puljujärvi signed in Pittsburgh. And the Kings fired head coach Todd McLellan. In this week's PWHL Update, the crew discusses the upcoming neutral site games and a couple of results from last week. And finally, Benjamin has a new game.

0:00 Alex welcomes SJ, Trevor, and Benjamin for their shift to the Neutral Zone Hotel.

2:10 The crew discusses the Candaiens trading Sean Monahan to the Jets for a first round pick.

6:47 The crew discusses the Flames trading Elias Lindholm to Vancouver.

13:33 Jesse Puljujärvi signs in Pittsburgh and Alex has thoughts.

21:53 The crew talks about changes to the Kings coaching staff: Head coach Todd McLellan was fired, assistant coach Jim Hiller was promoted to interim head coach, and they hired fired Senators coach D.J. Smith as an assistant.

28:24 The crew discusses updates on the case against five members of the 2018 Canada World Junior Team. TW: This case deals with sexual assault. There is no discussion of the details of the incident. But if you need to avoid listening, please jump to the next segment.

38:14 It's time for this week's PWHL update. The league announced neutral site games in Detroit and Pittsburgh. Then there's talk of the big collapse in Ottawa that did not involve the Senators. And finally, Toronto wins a game against Minnesota.

46:40 The NHL All-Star Game held the first Pride Cup, featuring members of the Toronto Gay Hockey Association. It was also a celebration of the 8th anniversary of Pride Tape. Teams were coached by PWHPA Director Brian Burke and NHL Director of Social Impact, Growth and Fan Development Andrew Ference coached the teams. Gary Bettman was on hand to give out the Cup. Benjamin talks a little about how the NHL got something right for a change.

49:31 Benjamin has a game, which may or may not be called Open To Suggestions.

0:00 Our first segment tonight involves a discussion of sexual assault. Although it does not go in-depth into the incident in question. there is some discussion of the details and they are mentioned in several places in the segment. If you need to skip that segment, please head straight to the second segment at 32:42.

0:36 Benjamin welcomes Trevor and John to the Neutral Zone Hotel.

1:59 The crew gets straight into discussing the five players from the 2018 Canada World Juniors team charged with sexually assaulting a woman after a gala the summer after the tournament. The discussion includes the latest updates in the case, the poor manner in which the NHL has handled some previous cases, and the opportunity the league, Hockey Canada, and the sport have to handle these incidents better and hold players accountable.

32:42 Next up, a much lighter segment. Benjamin and John had a conversation with ESPN's Greg Wyshynski about the changing landscape of sports media from newspapers to blogs to podcasts to AI.

58:35 Finally, in our third segment, the crew talks about the lasting impact of Börje Salming on hockey. Without Salming, arguably we wouldn't have had the great influx of Europeans in the NHL in the 1980s and '90s. The crew talks about how much better the NHL is with European players.

You can find Greg Wyshynski's writing at https://www.espn.com/nhl/ and https://www.patreon.com/pucksoup. You can watch him on ESPN's The Drop on YouTube and hear him on non-hockey and hockey-adjacent bonus podcasts at https://www.patreon.com/pucksoup and Wednesdays on The Jeff Marek Show (https://www.sportsnet.ca/590/jeff-marek-show/).

33:54 It's World Junior Championships preview time! The crew discuss the Punch Up in Piestany, the United States and Canada rosters, some all-time name havers, and which of the teams the we follow that have prospects in the tournament.

48:21 It's time to bash Pierre McGuire some more as the crew discusses just how creepy he is.

49:13 Finally, the crew previews the upcoming NHL Winter Classic Presented by some gambling site, probably. The Winter Classic will be in Seattle this year and SJ will be there.

0:00 Benjamin welcomes Jess, SJ, and John to their shift on staff at the Neutral Zone Hotel. They immediately go off on a tangent about Benjamin's beer advent calendar.

4:08 The Ottawa Senators have fired head coach DJ Smith and assistant coach Davis Payne and replaced them with two people who were waiting in the wings for this moment: former Senators head coach Jacques Martin and former Senators great Daniel Alfredsson. The crew discuss why this happened and talk a little about Jacques Martin's last three head coaching jobs in Ottawa, Florida, and Montreal.

17:17 There were several violent hits and two suspensions in the NHL over the last week. The crew, of course, has thoughts on the hits, the suspensions, and getting ugly hits out of the game. They also have thoughts on Bob Nardella's ten-game suspension as coach of the AHL's Chicago Wolves for using a homophobic slur against an official.

31:30 Next up, the crew talks about some interesting things they found in the NHL standings this week.

47:29 Finally, it's time for another round of Crack-a-Pack. Trevor opens a fresh pack of hockey cards and the crew remember some guys.

This week, Benjamin welcomes SJ, Trevor, and John to the Neutral Zone Hotel for their shift.

3:04 First, the crew has a short discussion about the IIHF's new rule requiring neck protection for events at all levels, including the Olympics, and what that might mean in the NHL.

8:38 The NHL announced that the salary cap will be going up approximately $4.5 million next year. The crew discusses how much that might help the teams with the highest payrolls.

18:37 Next summer's draft will be the last centralized NHL draft, so they're throwing a big draft party at James Dolan's utterly ridiculous Sphere in Las Vegas as a final hurrah.

20:42 Benjamin and Trevor introduce special guest Cole Redhorse Taylor to the Neutral Zone Hotel. Cole talks with the crew about his art, how he got started, how his art reflects and is inspired by his heritage and his people, and how he came to work with the Minnesota Wild to design the goalie mask and another piece that were auctioned off in conjunction with the Wild's Native American Heritage Night.

Trevor welcomes Alex, Benjamin, and John to the Neutral Zone Hotel for their shift.

01:42 First up, the crew talks about Monday night's Panthers-Senators game. If you missed it, an entire line was tossed from the game 12 minutes into the third period.

05:37 The coaching shuffle continues as Dean Evason is fired by the Minnesota Wild and replaced with John Hynes.

14:30 Marc-Andre Fleury becomes the latest player to break the NHL's rule on not visibly supporting causes on the ice.

23:10 Corey Perry's contract is terminated by the Chicago Blackhawks. The crew reflects on the things that the team got right and what still needs some work.

36:23 Patrick Kane signs for a year in Detroit. The crew is not particularly hopeful it will work out well.

42:34 Benjamin gives a quick update on the announcement of the first games of the PWHL season and the status of his season tickets.

47:29 Trevor introduces The Vibes Cup. Which team has the best vibes? Which has the worst? It's time for a vibe check at the first quarter of the season.

First up, Jess welcomes Benjamin, Trevor, and John to the Neutral Zone Hotel.

2:34 We would like to note that we all saw the news about an NHL player who was arrested for an act of domestic violence. There is a brief mention of this fact and a quick note about why we are not talking abour it on this week's episode. We expect to cover the subject in a thoughtful, in depth, manner sometime in the future. If this announcement is something you do not wish to listen to, please skip from 2:34 to the start of the next segment at 3:53.

3:52 Luke Prokop, the first openly gay player signed to an NHL contract, was called up from the ECHL to the Milwaukee Admirals, making him the first openly gay player to play a game in the AHL. The crew discusses this and talks about Luke's story and why it is important.

21:04 The crew discusses the recent NHL Global Series games in Sweden. Oddly, none of us tuned in to watch the Leafs play the Senators at 8AM.

34:19 The NHL is proposing a Fake World Cup of Hockey in 2025. The tournament would feature games in North America between Team Canada and Team United States, games in Europe between Team Finland and Team Sweden, and a final round somewhere. The crew, unsurprisingly, has thoughts.

40:58 The government of Quebec is going to pay up to $7 million to bring the Los Angeles Kings to Quebec City for a couple of preseason games. The Canadiens said they would have done it for free. Benjamin is not happy and he's going to tell you why.

49:13 PWHL training camps are opening and the crew is excited. Too bad about those jerseys.

59:16 Speaking of the Kings, our friend Nick recently traveled to Arizona to see the Kings play the Coyotes at Mullet Arena. Jess and Benjamin welcome him to the Neutral Zone Hotel's guest lounge to talk about it.

If you or someone you know is affected by domestic violence, you can reach out to:
Canada: https://endingviolencecanada.org/getting-help/
USA: https://www.thehotline.org/ or 1-800-799-SAFE

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 9-1-1.

37:01 John leads a discussion on some statistical records set by all-time bad NHL teams and the crew decided whether or not this year's Sharks can break those records.

48:31 Alex has four surprising teams this season: one from each division.

Next up, it's suspension news. The crew discuss two suspensions announced in the last week.
16:13 Ottawa's Shane Pinto was suspended 41 games for a breach of the NHL's gambling rules.
28:07 Boston's Charlie McAvoy was suspended for a head shot on Florida's Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

33:52 In the second half of the show, the crew turns first to the plight of the Calgary Flames, owners of the second-worst record in the league for October.

49:48 The PWHL made a trademark filing for six possible team names... and they're bad. Really bad.

1:46 First, John and SJ update the crew on their feelings about their teams' start to the season. Spoiler alert: it's not good.

Taping day was a big news day and the crew talk through a few of the stories:
5:41 First up, it was Craig Anderson Day in Ottawa.
8:30 Then, it's yet another update in the NHL Pride Tape saga as the league rescinds its idiotic ban following Travis Dermott's use of it in a game on Saturday night.

25:32 In the second segment, John leads a discussion on the theme night schedules of the various NHL teams.

38:27 In the third segment, the crew discusses the upcoming Heritage Classic game between the Oilers and Canucks:
39:57 A look at this year's uniforms
45:59 A (very) brief look at the venue
48:37 A discussion of the injury to Connor McDavid that may keep him out of the game
51:51 Rasmus Andersson is going to miss the Heritage Classic, and maybe he should have thought of that before boarding Patrik Laine in the last two seconds of a blowout loss.

58:10 Finally, the reason for the random interjections throughout this episode is revealed to be three members of the crew watching ESPN's Frozen Frenzy feed on another device during recording.

1:46 First, John and SJ update the crew on their feelings about their teams' start to the season. Spoiler alert: it's not good.

Taping day was a big news day and the crew talk through a few of the stories:
5:41 First up, it was Craig Anderson Day in Ottawa.
8:30 Then, it's yet another update in the NHL Pride Tape saga as the league rescinds its idiotic ban following Travis Dermott's use of it in a game on Saturday night.

25:32 In the second segment, John leads a discussion on the theme night schedules of the various NHL teams.

38:27 In the third segment, the crew discusses the upcoming Heritage Classic game between the Oilers and Canucks:
39:57 A look at this year's uniforms
45:59 A (very) brief look at the venue
48:37 A discussion of the injury to Connor McDavid that may keep him out of the game
51:51 Rasmus Andersson is going to miss the Heritage Classic, and maybe he should have thought of that before boarding Patrik Laine in the last two seconds of a blowout loss.

58:10 Finally, the reason for the random interjections throughout this episode is revealed to be three members of the crew watching ESPN's Frozen Frenzy feed on another device during recording.

1:40 The crew discusses the biggest story on opening day of the NHL season: The NHL's ban on specialty jerseys, Pride Tape, and any other on ice support for "special initiatives," instituted because seven players opted out of wearing special warmup jerseys on Pride nights last year.

47:53 Next up is our first ever movie review. SJ has watched Slap Shot for the first time, and has thoughts.

1:04:19 Finally, the members of the crew talk about one surprising thing, positive or negative, about their teams on the first night of the season.
