  • Great!

    With any sport I’m interested in, my attention to them comes and goes. That’s just the way it is for me, at this point in life. The same applies to hockey.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Week 1 new NHL season: Puck Podcast October 5, 2026
Q: What does Alex Wiederspiel think the Kirill Marchenko trade could do for Toronto?
He says Marchenko can help Toronto possess the puck and drive play, reducing pressure on Auston Matthews, though he does not think the move solves the team's larger problems.
Week 1 new NHL season: Puck Podcast October 5, 2026
Q: Why did Alex Wiederspiel choose the New Jersey Devils hosting the Philadelphia Flyers as his game of the week?
He wanted to assess an important early Metropolitan Division matchup, since he expects a playoff spot to be up for grabs and believes only one of the Devils and Flyers will make the playoffs.
Makar first $20 million player: Puck Podcast August 29, 2025
Q: Do you think Quinn Hughes will be affected by Makar's contract, and could we see similar moves for his extension?
They suggest Hughes could be influenced by the precedent, potentially prompting teams to consider longer deals for him as a way to secure top talent while managing cap space, though it remains uncertain.
Yzerman out in Detroit: Puck Podcast July 19, 2026
Q: What is the official description of what happened with Steve Yzerman according to Brian Fisher?
Brian Fisher says there is no official reason given publicly; he leans toward a mutual decision between Yzerman and ownership, especially in light of the Larkin situation and ownership's likely preference to avoid a step back.
Kings fire head coach: Puck Podcast March 1, 2026
Q: What are your thoughts on the Kings' decision to replace Jim Hiller with DJ Smith?
The hosts view it as a bold shift aimed at energizing the team and addressing underperformance, with attention paid to whether a more expressive, enthusiastic leadership style can re-ignite a playoff push.
