    Best Hockey of the Year? Mammoth Beat Dallas, Then Drop 6 on Seattle

    VIP WATCH PARTY TICKETS HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1979643227183?aff=oddtdtcreatorSLC Puck is powered by BigTuskEnergy.comNate Schmidt had a whale of a game in a 6–3 Utah Mammoth win over the Seattle Kraken — 2 goals, 2 assists, and he nearly completed the hatty on the empty net. But here’s the thing: don’t act shocked. Schmitty has been fantastic all season, and this was just the loudest episode yet.In this one, Austin and Sammy hit the highlights from the unexpectedly perfect stretch of this homestand — including that massive regulation win over Dallas — and then dive into why Utah’s blue line has quietly been one of the biggest reasons the Mammoth are thriving right now. We also talk chemistry, culture, and why “trade Nate Schmidt” rumors should be thrown directly into the Great Salt Lake.Plus: • The Next Gen PA kid with the mohawk (future legend) • The homemade Tusky stuffed animal (yes, it’s real… and yes, it’s adorable) • Sammy’s Veggie Magic: Karel Vejmelka met Sam on Dec. 29 and has been on an absolute heater since 👀 • January points tracker: Utah is blowing the “15 points in 15 games” goal out of the water🎳 SLC Puck VIP Bowling Watch Party is this Saturday — limited tickets left at slcpuck.com. Swag bags, pucks, jersey raffle, bowling + big-screen game.

    McBain + Gunther + Carcone = Problem

    VIP WATCH PARTY TICKETS HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1979643227183?aff=oddtdtcreatorSLC Puck is powered by BigTuskEnergy.comThe Utah Mammoth just obliterated the Toronto Maple Leafs 6–1 at the Delta Center, and one line in particular turned the whole night into a controlled burn. Jack McBain centered Michael Carcone and Dylan Gunther, and those three went full bonkers: 4 goals, 8 points, +4, and 20 shots on goal between them (basically half of Utah’s 41 shots as a team… insane).We break down why the line works (it’s not rocket science — it’s sandpaper + sniper + bouncer energy), how Utah kept Toronto’s stars quiet, and what this win means in the wild card race with Dallas up next. Also: yes, we have to talk about it — Liam “Spicy Tuna” O’Brien cut the hair. The vibes are shifting, people.CONNECT WITH SLC PUCK!🤝 Patreon ➡️ www.patreon.com/slcpuck🛍️ Merch ➡️ www.bigtuskenergy.com🤑SLC Picks (DFS)➡️ https://www.slcpuck.com/t/slc-picks📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/slcpuck🎥TikTok ➡️ https://tiktok.com/@slcpuck ✳️ Spotify ➡️ 🐦 Twitter ➡️ https://x.com/slcpuck👍 Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/slcpuck☕️Buy Me A Coffee (Support the show!) https://buymeacoffee.com/slcpuck This is a public episode.
