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.

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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Four Nations Face/Off
Q: Do you care what happens in this tournament?
Yes, slightly longer answer, ask me in a week, but generally I do care since it's been almost a decade since we had any form of best on best hockey.
Pacific Madness
Q: What did you think of the recent NHL All-Star Weekend?
While enjoyable, the hosts deemed it not remarkable, falling short of their expectations.
Pacific Madness
Q: Do you think the players implicated will return to the NHL?
Both hosts express skepticism about the likelihood of return, citing legal complexities; they analyze Bettman's careful wording.
Pacific Madness
Q: What are the latest developments in the Hockey Canada investigation?
There are no new details as the London police emphasize they cannot discuss past investigations that led to no charges, which adds frustration for those seeking clarity.
