We're Sean "Down Goes Brown" McIndoe and Ryan Lambert and this is a hockey podcast, in the sense that we talk about hockey, both on the ice and about fan culture. That's the "puck." This is also a podcast about movies, TV, fast food, life lessons and general idiocy. That's the "soup." Unless you ordered the minestrone.

  • Puck Soup is a brilliant hockey podcast. Ryan Lambert and Sean McIndoe give entertaining and insightful comments on the whole hockey world. I listen to them every week and like to fall asleep listening to reruns. Miss Greg not being on the show anymore but I enjoy the raw hockey talk. Go Sabres.

  • Detailed but meandering

    Appreciate the in depth analysis, but the show could benefit by having a time limit to an hour. Conversations typically ramble and generally feel not thought out

  • Even as a hockey nerd, the negativity bias is brutal

    Sean is fine, but Ryan greatly suffers from feeling like the smartest guy in the room while being a keyboard warrior type. I love hockey, I love advanced analytics, and I love all discourse about how players are actually performing around the league. That said, Ryan spends 95% of his time scoffing and discussing how everyone, save a small handful of players, stinks at hockey. This show is snarky and smarmy and at the end of the day just not very entertaining anymore.

  • I'm relatively new to hockey fandom and Puck Soup has become my go to for all hockey podcast content. The Athletic is ok, this is better.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nikita, You Will Never Know
Q: Do you have any thoughts on the Russia being allowed back into international hockey? Question mark, maybe TBD?
Wyshynski says allowing Russia back would threaten the NHL's plans for international competition because several countries have said they will not play against Russian teams. He argues that Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine has not materially changed the circumstances behind those refusals.
Nikita, You Will Never Know
Q: Kucherov is, I guess, asking for a trade is probably the right verb as opposed to demanding one, although that's maybe slicing it a little thin. He says that he will continue to play, but he will not re-sign with the Lightning. It's not about the money, he says. It is about respect and how they have been slow rolling him on contract talks. Greg, explain this to me. What's going to happen here?
Wyshynski discusses the dispute with Tampa Bay, the possible motivations behind the trade request, the limited market for a player seeking a major extension, and several possible outcomes. He thinks the Lightning are most likely to keep Kucherov for the season and let him reach free agency.
Off Suspension, But on the Beach?
Q: You got any teams that have surprised you, good, bad, indifferent, so far this year?
Wyshynski cites the Flyers' improving results and the Rangers' strong start, while saying he expected the Sharks to perform better and was surprised by how good the Bruins have been.
Off Suspension, But on the Beach?
Q: Let's say the Jets don't trade him. Do they just sit on him for some indeterminate point in the future where it's like, okay, now we're allowed to trade him?
Wyshynski says Winnipeg is likely waiting for a team to become desperate enough to raise its offer, especially one that believes it is a goalie away from contention.
Endless Summer?
Q: Do you think Brad Marshand is a lock to make this team?
The hosts agree that barring a drastic drop in performance, Brad Marchand is likely to secure a spot due to his past performance and leadership qualities.
