The Rink Episode 58: Points and Problems

This week, I’m talking to Ryan Classic about the point system the NHL uses for the standing, and the Ottawa Senators issues with goaltending, such as the proverbial puck in the face.  Plus, I have a cold.  Sorry for the sniffles folks.

The Rink Episode 57: Two for a Tweetcast

Two good guests on this week’s tweetcast, Matt from Columbus (@BZArcher), and James from Denver (@BleedBurgundy).  Enjoy the show.

The Rink Episode 56: Agree to Disagree

Tom Luongo and I have a few things we agree about, and a few we don’t.  From suspensions to goals, to hiring and firing, it’s a very special episode of The Rink. (OK, it isn’t very special, but I like it)

The Rink Episode 55: Joint Production

This episode of the Rink is brought to you by the number 19, and the letter A. As in Avs, as in Avs Hockey Podcast.  Jay Vean sat down with me for a talk about the Avs, and other doings in the league as well.

The Rink Episode 54 Part 2: Home for the Hockey-Days

Tom and I are taking this week off, sort of, from the podcast.  There’s probably something here for you, as I tell you about some other great hockey podcasts, a few blog posts, and just a bit of thanks in general for listening to the show.

We will be back next week all fired up for some serious hockey talk.

The Rink Episode 54 part 1

It’s a two part Rink Podcast this week.  Part one features Eric McErlain talking about the state of the Washington Capitals, and Jason Cohen, author of Zamboni Rodeo, hanging out with me at a hockey game, and talking about one of my favorite topics, minor league hockey.

The Rink Episode 51: Eddie Garcia

I was in Anaheim for the Ducks – Leafs game, which I thought the Leafs would lose. Silly me.  The Ducks didn’t show up, but Eddie Garcia from the Puck Podcast did show up. We played a little hockey, and talked for a while about the LA Kings, hockey jerseys, and the California hockey experience.

The Rink Episode 50: Around the Rinks

It’s a bit of a milestone for The Rink. Episode 50 finds Tom and I talking about our favorite teams, Tom’s night out, and plenty of other stuff, including the Bruins solving problems, and the NHLPA having a hard time solving theirs.

The Rink Episode 49: A New Hope?

This week on The Rink, everything is coming up bananacakes, as both Tom and I are having stellar starts to the season. But the Avs and Sabres aren’t the only things on our minds. Tom and I talk about the bottom end of the spectrum, which includes the Leafs, Red Wings, and Canucks, and we even delve into the dreaded trap. Enjoy.
