Biscuits: A Hockey Podcast

It’s the season finale of Biscuits, which features a discussion about Tom Wilson’s new contract, the notion that Jarome Iginla somehow isn’t a first-ballot Hall of Famer, the sudden departure of Trevor Linden from the Canucks, the arbitration hearings for William Karlsson, Mark Stone and Cody Ceci and some reader questions to take us into the offseason. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The big news from this past week in the NHL was the arbitration hearing of Jacob Trouba and the arbitration hearing of Matt Dumba that never happened. Each player received new contracts and Sean and Dave are here to talk about them in between mentions of baseball and softball. Also: Sean is confused by six teams heading into next season, and Dave is here to offer absolutely no help for clearing things up. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sean and Dave are here to be your July hockey podcast and this week is full of contract extensions and new deals — Marc-Andre Fleury’s bad one, Connor Hellebuyck’s long one, Adam Henrique’s expensive one, Elias Lindholm’s risky one and Juuse Saros’ smart one. Also: The heroism of Marian Hossa accepting a trade to Arizona, just trade Erik Karlsson already, saying goodbye to Ray Emery and casting an Ocean’s 11 movie with hockey players on the fly. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dave and Sean react to breaking news of the Nikita Kucherov extension, the lack of an Erik Karlsson trade, Shea Weber's secret injury, Artemi Panarin's honesty and lots more in a nice episode of Biscuits. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sean and Dave are here to talk free agency but mostly about John Tavares surprising everyone and choosing the Leafs and breaking the hearts of the Islanders and their fans who aren’t handling this very well. Also: Drew Doughty’s deal, Ryan O’Reilly’s trade and the Erik Karlsson trade to Tampa that has definitely already happened or won’t happen at all. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The prize of the 2018 free-agent class is holding court in Los Angeles, and Sean and Dave are here to tell you exactly where John Tavares will sign and how teams will attempt to woo him. Also: Draft weekend recap, trading elite players that like museums, signing John Carlson to a mega-deal, the booing of Gary Bettman in Dallas and a look at how the Canucks can replace the Sedins in free agency. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sean and Dave were lucky enough to record a new episode before Mike Hoffman’s trade to San Jose and the trade a few minutes later to Florida. Does this mean Erik Karlsson stays in Ottawa? Are the Senators screwed no matter what? What do they do with the pick they owe the Avs? And in non-Senators news, we’ve got Barry Trotz jumping ship, another questionable Canadiens trade, the future of John Tavares and who would play Kyle Dubas in a Leafs promotional video? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Alex Ovechkin and his blood-alcohol levels have been the stars since the Washington Capitals won their first Stanley Cup last week, and Sean and Dave are here to talk about how it all went down and what comes next this offseason. There’s also a look ahead to the big storylines heading into free agency, including John Carlson, Ilya Kovalchuk, Erik Karlsson, Milan Lucic and why in the world would Oliver Ekman-Larsson sign up for eight more years in Arizona. Also: The Sedins. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Washington Capitals are one win from a Stanley Cup and despite Sean and Dave picking the Caps to win in a sweep, only one is ready to say this series is over. This episode is a Final extravaganza with a breakdown of Games 3 and 4, the idea of puck luck, officiating when embellishment is rampant, scratching David Perron and leaning on Ryan Reaves, Barry Trotz’s future, the idea that Alex Ovechkin is a “different” player than years past and whether the Caps should want to win the Cup in Las Vegas or at home in front of their fans. Also: Reader mail, runner-up parades and how stinking rich will John Carlson be in a few weeks. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It’s 1-1 in what has been an extremely fun, fast-paced Stanley Cup Final, so of course Sean and Dave spend a good portion of the show talking about Tom Wilson being an idiot and referees showing a level of incompetence rarely witnessed in any profession. But there’s also the Braden Holtby save, Evgeny Kuznetsov’s potentially series-changing injury, pregame theatrics and a poorly executed 5-on-3 power play. And Dave does everything he can to read his short story about the valor and wonder of the Sedin twins while Sean makes a big announcement (he has a book coming in October so go pre-order it). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Stanley Cup Final we all predicted before the season – Capitals vs Golden Knights - is set to begin Monday and Sean and Dave are here to offer irrelevant predictions. Why is it irrelevant? Sean thinks it’s because Vegas has revealed the NHL to be a series of random, unpredictable events while Dave’s opinions on Vegas stopped mattering a long time ago. Also: A look back at what went wrong for the Lightning and right for the Caps in Game 7, a discussion about Jon Cooper’s future, Evander Kane’s contract with the Sharks, Lou Lamoriello’s impact on John Tavares staying with the Islanders, and Henrik/Daniel talk. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Caps are throttling the Lightning and Sean wants to know if Dave would like to get back on the Washington bandwagon. Kyle Dubas is officially the new Leafs GM and Sean has feelings about it. Also: The crowd in Winnipeg, how to sing-song a goalie properly, trading Lundqvist for Rinne, using replay for high sticking calls and a look back at the Sedins in the 2011 playoffs, the last time a Canadian team reached the Stanley Cup Final. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sean and Dave bask in the glow of Dave’s genius, which was confirmed yet again by the Caps beating the Penguins in six games to reach the conference finals. There’s also a look back at the Lightning and Golden Knights advancing, Brad Marchand’s wayward tongue, Fleury and Vegas revisionist history, predictions for Game 7 of Jets-Preds, marveling at the coincidence that Hurricanes legend Rod Brind’Amour was the most qualified person to coach the Hurricanes, Mike Babcock’s totally planned and not at all forced visit to Arizona to see Auston Matthews and, because people were getting upset, we finally get around to talking about the Sedins. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sean and Dave discuss the great second-round series that have featured outstanding action and horrendous officiating but Sean also says goodbye to his Leafs and hello to the (likely) new GM. Also: Ron Francis is Milton from Office Space, mascots at the draft lottery show and an exclusive interview with Canucks legend Henrik Sedin. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Bruins have let a 3-1 lead slip away and now we have a Game 7 with the Leafs. Who will win? What is Sean’s level of dread? What is Dave’s level of enjoyment at the expense of Sean? Plus: A look ahead to the second round, why this is finally the year the Capitals beat the Penguins, Bill Peters fleeing to Calgary, Chuck Fletcher out in Minnesota, Player Safety videos and an in-depth discussion about the Sedins and their place in hockey lore. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sean and Dave hit all the first-round series and the big storylines. Suspensions. Non-suspensions. The choking Caps. The unstoppable Knights and Sharks. The weird Game 3 between Boston and Toronto. The goalie swaps in Jersey and Washington. Brian Elliott’s battling. And there’s also a look back on media darling Ken Hitchcock, media enemy Eugene Melnyk and the boys finally get around to discussing the Sedins. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sean and Dave once again discuss a controversial review before looking at all the first-round series and making their predictions. There's also a discussion about the one guy that was fired over the weekend, all the guys that weren't fired, the Sedins are mentioned, there's an examination of Ryan O'Reilly's loss of love and Dave accepts Sean's generous offer to fill out his Hart ballot (even if Sean ignores the advice). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This MVP-free episode features discussion about yet another goaltender interference call, Erik Karlsson taking a souvenir from his last home game in Ottawa (maybe ever), a look at the coaches and GMs that could be fired after the season and who wins the race for the last playoff spot in the West (we forgot to talk about the Sedins). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sean and Dave look at the races for the final playoff spot in each conference and accidentally get into the MVP debate for a few minutes (they are very sorry about this). Also: Georges Laraque's false report about Taylor Hall, Garth Snow's continued employment and whether the non-playoff teams from Canada could combine rosters and create a Stanley Cup contender. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The NHL's GMs are talking interference, so Sean and Dave do too and they are sorry about that. There's also talk about changing other rules, the underpaid Hurricanes GM opening, the playoff format and, yes, the Hart Trophy debate. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Alex Ovechkin has 600 goals, but is he a winner like Trevor Lewis? Can he break the record of Wayne Gretzky, who is also a winner? Sean and Dave tackle those important questions along with the changes in Carolina, the front-office "drama" in Toronto, the playoff format, the playoff race in the West and the possibility that they can be less negative during the podcast. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sean and Dave debate hockey's two hottest topics — what constitutes goaltender interference and who should win MVP? Also: the red-hot Panthers, the white Leafs uniforms, NBC cutting away from a game for local news and a capper of Sean ranting about how much he loves having his typos pointed out to him on Twitter. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The trade deadline is right around the corner. Sean and Dave talk about all the big targets that could be moved and what teams will and won't do anything interesting. Erik Karlsson? John Tavares? Rick Nash? Are they going anywhere? Plus: what could America and Canada trade that doesn't involve hockey players? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sean and Dave have nothing but the lukewarmest of takes about the Phaneuf-Gaborik trade, Jim Benning's extension, the cheating Canadian women barely beating the heroic American women in South Korea, and there's also the question of the day: which giant sign is more embarrassing — the Oilers' 1984-85 beat team banner or the Islanders' Snow Must Go billboard? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Goaltender interference continues to be as confusing as ever but Sean and Dave are here to make sense of it. We also get into the trade deadline, suspensions and whether Marc-Andre Fleury is a Hall of Famer or the new Chris Osgood. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
