  Episode #27

  Episode 27 - Simon Edvinsson's Plane Ride, Steve Yzerman's Undoing, and NHL Guardians Project 2.0?

  Sep 30, 20261h 1mS1

  Robert is in a hockey rink, and you won't be able to guess the moment when his wifi drops. Sean carries the show effortlessly. Simon Edvinsson is practicing in Sweden, and the guys struggle to understand how that is a good thing for Detroit. They also touch on Opening Night in the NHL, some roster crunch news (and new contracts) out of Dallas, and Sean's honest assessment of why Steve Yzerman's tenure in Detroit went so differently than his time in Tampa Bay. Also, the NHL is Doing Something Popular again, and it reminds us quite a bit of Another Thing they did many years ago.

  Episode #25

  Episode 25 - Mitch Brown on Scouting Mythbusting, How Rankings Get Built, and How Players Really Adjust to North American Hockey

  Sep 16, 202632 minS1

  Robert was in Detroit this morning, but now he is in Dallas, where one GM is speaking again. Sean is still in Detroit, and he's also en route to where an interim GM is speaking. Everyone is speaking these days. After some preamble, Sean sits down (4:53) with Mitch Brown, Director of Scouting and Pro Content for Elite Prospects. Mitch explains (among many other things) how scouts build their rankings, what they're watching for and how they prioritize whom they scout, why adjusting to North American ice size is far less of an issue than it's often made out to be, and why he leaves pizza dough out on his counter for hours.

  Bonus Episode - Sean and Robert Are Live from Detroit

  Sep 14, 202645 min

  Sean and Robert are both in Detroit for the prospect tournament, so they decided to sit down for a Monday bonus episode and discuss what they've seen, heard, and eaten after two days of NHL-adjacent hockey. We open by discussing why Scott White's name has been mentioned in relation to the Detroit GM search, and why he also loves what he does in Dallas. From there, we discuss everything from what prospect tournaments mean now vs. what they did in Traverse City, and why a shorter preseason still allows time for some team-bonding trips. Come for the Joe Sakic "news," stay for the Oreos-in-coffee revelation.

  Episode #23

  Episode 23 - Victory+ Postmortem, Further David Carle Analysis, and Yelling at Clouds

  Sep 2, 20261h 3mS1

  Sean and Robert are feeling old today. They yell about the Cloud, or at least about how the Cloud seems to work sometimes. After some producer notes, the show starts (7:10) with a clip and some analysis from Bonus Episode with David Carle, and what the guys' takeaways were from the very good conversation. The back half of the show (30:40) is all about how the Stars and five other NHL teams are moving to Amazon Prime for local broadcasts. The guys discuss what we know about how Victory+ collapsed, who's to blame, and what we still don't know about the ad-supported model following the death of premium RSN revenue.
