    SLC Puck+ PILOT: FBI Director Afterparty? Yeah… We’re Doing This

    Alright. We’re doing it. This is the free pilot episode of SLC Puck+ — the members-only expansion of SLC Puck where the takes are sharper, the jokes are looser, and the stuff that’s “maybe don’t say that on KSL” lives permanently. This pilot is going out everywhere (YouTube + Substack + the OG feed) so you can get a taste. After this? SLC Puck+ becomes Patreon-exclusive. What is SLC Puck+? Think of it as the third weekly episode when the hockey week deserves one more swing: * Ad-free * More candid * More “what are we even doing right now?” * Built around recurring segments (so it’s not just more — it’s different) What’s in this pilot? I’m not going to over-explain it — just hit play — but yes, we open with the Olympic afterparty chaos that somehow turned into a full-blown internet spiral. Then we do an Airing of Grievances because some companies deserve to be booed, loudly, in public. If you loved it… Join the SLC Puck+ tier on Patreon so you don’t miss the next one: You’ll be directly supporting the show (and enabling this dangerous new level of microphone freedom). If you hated it… Totally fine. The classic SLC Puck show is still free twice a week. We’re not taking your toys away. Alright. See you in there. — Austin This is a public episode.

    A Rusty Night: Mammoth Stumble vs. Avalanche (4–2)

    GRAB SOME ICE GIVEAWAY: https://www.slcpuck.com/p/giveaway-grab-some-ice SLC Puck is powered by BigTuskEnergy.com The Utah Mammoth opened the stretch drive with a frustrating 4–2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche at the Delta Center, and it had all the “back from a 20-day break” symptoms: sloppy passes, weird timing, and a second period that turned into a full-on goal-fest. Tonight’s big themes: * Dylan Gunther tried to drag Utah back with two goals * Utah’s 5-on-3 in the third didn’t cash in (pain) * New/returning pieces (Logan Cooley + Alex Kerfoot) shake up the lineup and chemistry * And the big question: is this just rust… or a warning sign? We also check the wild card scoreboard (Seattle + LA help Utah by losing), look ahead to Minnesota and Chicago, and talk trade deadline pressure as the Mammoth sprint toward the playoffs.
