Tyler and Jared

On this episode, Jared, Tyler and Brett get into a quiet week in the NHL as well as some other crazy stories around the hockey world.

There was a very scary incident on Thursday night during the Niagra IceDogs and London Knights game. Tucker Tynan, goalie for the IceDogs, was rushed to hospital after a gory scene where his leg was sliced open during a freak accident in front of the net.

We discuss two more firings in the NHL as well. Jim Montgomery and Peter Deboer have been relieved of their duties. Bit of a surprise in Dallas as the team was playing well but this is a Code of Conduct firing. Few details were given so what exactly he did remains a mystery. San Jose has been a tire fire on the other hand and the Deboer firing was less than surprising.

For the first time in years Tim Thomas was in the news. This time was for a good reason that turned very dim. He was recently inducted in to the US Hockey Hall of Fame and during his press conference revealed some terrifying details about his life after hockey.

On this episode, Jared, Tyler and Brett get into the last week in the NHL.

First off, the Flames and new coach Geoff Ward are making adjustments that have started to pay off. The new look lines actually produced on Thursday night and Milan Lucic finally got his first goal as a Flame.

The Sharks had an eventful few days this week as well. First up Evander Kane got tossed for a very harmless looking play, that was reviewed and upheld by the referees. He was also fined by the NHL for this while a couple days later Jumbo Joe got into it with Petr Mrazek and dropped him with a throat punch and received no supplemental discipline.

Naturally we got into more of the coaching mess that is the NHL right now with more Babcock stories and now Marc Crawford is on the hot seat. Another very strange incident also popped up on Friday as Nikita Zaitsev of the Senators has been accused, by his Ex-Wife, of kidnapping his two children while he was back in Russia a few weeks ago.

We also touch on some of the Taylor Hall trade rumours and what we expect to see soon enough.

On this episode, Jared, Tyler and Blair get into an interesting.

The Flames and Leafs have had two very similar Novembers. Both had 6 game losing streaks without the ability to score the first goal of a game. Where the similarities end though is how they are attempting to fix it. The Leafs have fired Mike Babcock while the Flames continue to look for a solution. Firing Peters does not seem to be an option.

The Islanders are currently rocking a 16-game point streak where they have won 15 games. With only 20 total games played this season, they are absolutely on fire and Barry Trotz is looking like a wizard.

The episode ends with a chat about two incredible saves from Marc-Andre Fleury and Tuukka Rask where we debate on which save is better. We also touch on the terrible stadium series jerseys for this years NHL outdoor games.
