Coleton is having an absolute field day with this one as we finally have the Tampa Bay Lightning vs The Colorado Avalanche. Both of these teams have been so strong for so long and they have been on collision course for what seems like years now. We break down the conference final matchups and recap what the storylines were from both sides. We of course give our predictions for who is taking home Lord Stanley's Cup and Mike ALSO gives his prediction for NEXT years Stanley Cup final! Bold... but we love to see it. How many ice cold beverages can you drink in 60 minutes of hockey? We have a number but you go first... Who do you got for the cup? Lets get it fella!(s) We love you and have missed you guys big time! Lets get the good times rolling

The boys dive into the 4 second round series. Who will take home the Battle of Alberta? And will they be healthy enough to keep their run going? Will Florida finally get past Tampa in the Battle of the Sunshine State or are we staring down the barrel of an unprecedented three-peat? Can anyone in the West slow down Colorado? Can Carolina insane home streak going? There's all to play for in this second round and we are so here for it! Listen in to Episode 83 for the full scoop on the 8 teams left in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs!

LETS GO! The battle over Lord Stanleys Cup is here and we're ready for another sick opening round of playoffs. You know the drill for our annual playoff predictions episodes! We go over every matchup and tell you who we like, hate, aren't so sure about, and break every one of those matchups down for you. Who's gonna go all the way and take the cup!? We're not sure... but whoever it is, we're excited to watch them grind it out. Beauty day for some beers and some hockey. It's been awhile since we had a episode where we buzz this hard. Bee's are in the building. Lets get after it everyone. Cheers!

What is UP guys! We're back! The playoff race has heated up considerably, and a couple key contenders are facing down the barrel of an early summer golf trip. Can Vegas pull it together in time? Can LA hold on? Are the Arizona Coyotes still a flaming pile of trash? These are the type of hard hitting question the boys tackle this week. With the playoffs around the corner, of course we're starting to see the injuries pile up. Which key injuries do the boys think will make the difference come playoff time, and which teams have the best plug-and-play replacements? Teams signing NCAA talent seem to be doing something right in this regard. As you might be able to tell, we were on a heater this week. Plenty to talk about, and next time you hear from us it'll be playoff prediction time so fasten your seatbelts because the business end of the NHL season is here!

The boys are back! Our first post-trade deadline episode has lots of talk about the one thing no fan wants to hear about: injuries. As soon as rosters locked, it seems like we've seen a slew of bad injuries to competitive teams (Colorado we're looking at you). Can these teams handle the losses and has the playoff picture changed as a result? We also had to talk the annual GM meetings taking place this week. As per usual, big Gary B is making a fool of himself, but at least maybe we'll see some movement on the LTIR regulations... Who knows? As per usual, the boys get off topic so listen in for that and much more on Episode 80 of The Pond!

Well, it's trade deadline week! The boys recorded shortly after the 3pm trade deadline on Monday and ran through all the big moves from the past few days. We have a bunch of contenders adding pieces, draft picks flying left right and centre, and Kevin Weekes reporting trades from the Moon! Listen in to find out who we think won deadline day, where cup contenders stand in comparison to pre-deadline, and what we think of how high the pending UFA market was set this year! All that and more on episode 79 of The Pond!

Whoah! The boys are back again talking all things hockey! With the trade deadline fast approaching, we spend some time talking LTIR moves, trade possibilities, and the shifting market of buyers and sellers. We also had to talk player awards, with some crazy goalie performances this year and Auston Matthews on pace for a million goals we're in for a fun race to the finish for Hart, Vezina, Art Ross, Selke and Rocket Richard trophies! Finally, it wouldn't be The Pond if we could go more than a month without dogging the refs, but man this week was tough. We dive into the details of the NHL refs' latest gaffes and discuss what the league can do to fix an ongoing issue that only seems to be getting worse. All that plus all the stuff I forgot to put here on Episode 78 of The Pond!

Welcome BACK to the Pond! We're getting into the back half of the NHL season and you know what that means... The trade deadline is coming up! The boys take a dive into TSNs trade bait board and discuss potential moves and which teams we think will be active at the deadline. Find out which big names we think are on the move! In other news, Igor Shesterkin is single-handedly putting the Rangers on his back night in and night out. Is he a lock for the Hart? How easy or difficult is it for goalies to win MVP? Finally we finish off the eppy with a new little game called This or That. This week the question is: which team are you taking in a battle for the final playoff spot in the West; LA Kings or Anaheim Ducks? We hop you enjoy Episode 77 of The Pond!

Back in business baby! A little late on the upload as per usual but we're back which means another fantastic episode in the books. This epi is a little bit of everything, ( most weeks usually are but we feel that should be a point of emphasis) including the stadium series venue chatter. We talk everyone's favorite poster hockey child Sidney Crosby with 500 goals. Sid the Kid a beauty through and through eh. Cheers to the kid. Anyways, we talk the DOPS and how they've been letting us down recently... harsh but true. All that fun stuff and more on episode 76 of The Pond. Lets get this cheddar biscuit lads. Cheers!

We're back with another week of The Pond! Our first episode since the All-Star break starts with a dive into the ASG Skills Competition. Find out what worked, what didn't, and who got screwed betting on the breakaway challenge. We also have our fifth coaching change among Canadian teams this season with Dave Tippet getting the boot in Edmonton. Will the Oilers be able to turn their season around? Are coach firings a cop-out for management? In other huge news, Jack Eichel will be joining the Vegas line-up for the first time. What's the long-term fallout from the cap shenanigans we assume Vegas will use, plus what if any moves do we think they could make before the deadline? For all that and much more that I definitely forgot about after recording, listen in to Episode 75 of The Pond!
