Kustron hopes none of the listeners placed any Weekly Picks or playoff brackets based on the podcast crew's predictions last week. Kittelberger played like dogsh!t after 5 days laid up on a beach drinking daiquiris. And Schwartz calls out Rubeo for pulling the chute last minute on beer league, leaving the squad with 7 skaters - one of which was drunk, the other shit themselves, literally. ICYMI: Minnesota Duluth won another NCAA title. The New Jersey Devils won the draft lottery confirming Taylor Hall as a lucky charm. Quenneville signed with Florida, Vigneault joins Philly, and LA hires McLellan. Out EAST: No one saw the Blue Jackets sweeping Tampa... or Kucherov getting suspended for a headshot. The Bruins-Maple Leafs series is living up to the hype. And the Capitals-Hurricanes series has been a battle, including Ovi's KO. And the Islanders didn't give the Pens or the podcast crew much to hope for. Out WEST: The Stars and Predators are tied at 2 wins apiece - Stars rookie Heiskanen continues to shine. The Jets-Blues series hasn't seen a home team win yet, wtf?! The Avalanche are giving the Flames everything they can handle, including Cale Makar's first career goal in his NHL debut. And the Golden Knights-Sharks series has been nonstop between the off-ice banter, fights, and none of the Sharks stopping the Stone-Pacioretty-Stastny line. And it'll never grow old watching Jaromir Jagr score sick goals. All before Weekly Picks and Top Shelf Trivia.

Schwartz reports more young clients listening to the pod and getting called out on facebook for misspeaking last week - hater's gonna hate! Kitts provides a Munson update as he helps him understand faceoff positioning. ICYMI: The CWHL is folding but Toronto and Montreal will join the NWHL which the NHL "committed" to supporting. Ryan Poehling scored a hat trick and shootout winner in his NHL debut. Housley and Boughner were let go as bench bosses. And the boys recap the regular season stat leaders around the NHL before discussing and picking their winner for each playoff series. On Instagram, Schwartz poses the question who everyone would want to see in a fight, Robin Lehner drops an f-bomb on a hot mic before making a 7-year-old's day, and a dad breaks the glass with his wedding ring. Louis Domingue continues his post game antics and Elias Pettersson blows us away with a trick move that'll be nearly impossible to replicate. And for all the feels, Craig Cunningham, after losing most of his leg last year due to complications after a heart attack, skated with a prosthetic leg and custom skate contraption. What an inspiration. All before the boys talk about playoff Weekly Picks and play a round of Top Shelf Trivia.

Kus outlandishly suggests the pod is as good as McDavid's between-the-legs goal this week. Rubes admits to mistakenly reporting Kane scored his 1,000th NHL point. Schwartz says one of his 13-year-old power skating students is listening to the pod, scaring Rubeo. And Kittel provides a Munson update before getting into NHL action. ICYMI: Kane & DeBrincat are the 2nd American duo to record 40+ goals in a season. Calgary has five 70-point scorers, the first team since the 2000-2001 Penguins. McDavid and Draisaitl hit 100 points. Greg Pateryn breaks his 130-game goalless streak. Ovechkin hits 50. And of the non-playoff bound teams, the podcast crew picks their favorites to rebound and make the playoffs next year. Justin Williams said there would be no more Storm Surge celebrations, and then there was another?! Valeri Nichuskin is an empty jersey. Paul Byron abides by "the code" and fights MacKenzie Weegar. The NCAA frozen four is almost set. Dubnyk rushes to the bench for a 6th skater when his net is hit off the pegs. Brunner celebrates by hurdling the net. Ryan Reaves roughs up his coaches prior to every game. And the HPC Instagram following and Kitts help a new goalie in need of some tips. All before Weekly Picks and Top Shelf Trivia.

Rubeo sneakily catches Kus and Schwartz's poor acapella skills to intro the show. Kus lets everyone know the boys are now video recording the show and please don't be startled by his grey beard. Kitts, Schwartz, and Rubeo celebrate last week's beer league W after their prior shellacking. And fortunately for Kitts' other team, Munson didn't show up last game but neither did their goalie... and yet they still won?! ICYMI: Patty Kane recorded his 1,000th point, Zdeno Chara scored his 200th goal and re-signed with the Bruins, the Oilers' CEO blames Tobias Rieder for the team's lack of success at a season ticket holder event, the NHL announced their Global Series for next season, the results of a 500+ NHL player poll was released, and Ron Burgundy joined the LA Kings broadcast booth. Considering our recent #hockeytough IG post, should all adult leaguers wear cages/masks? Brady Tkachuk lost a "floss off" with a young fan. And have you seen the polarizing goalie mask of a 14-year-old with Donald Trump painted on it? It's made for a heated comment section on our Instagram. All before the boys make their Weekly Picks [to win a free HPC gift card or HPC XV3 hockey stick] and play a round of Top Shelf Trivia on who's been hot in 2019.

The boys are finally recovered from celebrating St. Patty's & Kittelberger shares a frustrating beer league story about Munson, a newbie just getting his bearings on defense. ICYMI: Bergeron recorded his 800th point, Carter his 700th, and Tavares his 700th and first 40-goal season. Carey Price surpassed Jacques Plante for most wins as a Habs netminder. And little known fact, it's been 16k days since the Flyers last won the cup. What's going on with the Leaf's defense and goaltending? And the boys make predictions of who's in and out for the fast-approaching playoffs. Kitts shared his pent up aggression and opinion of a player breaking his stick and continuing to play without one instead of immediately getting a new twig or changing. And are more and more people shotgunning beers from their skates?! How did Seguin miss an empty net breakaway? Did you see Giroux almost score a goal after scooping the puck off the ice? Or Marchand's rendition of McGregor's strut after his OT winner? How about the lunatic coach swinging sticks at unsuspecting players during a brawl? And Schwartz captures two Pittsburgh high school hockey teams hug it out after a double OT playoff game. All before Weekly Picks and Top Shelf Trivia.

Kittelberger went to the Pens v. Caps game last night witnessing Malkin record his 1,000th point while Ovi hit 1,200. Schwartz & Rubeo attend the Let's Play Hockey Expo in St. Paul, MN over the weekend and rave about the hockey scene and city. ICYMI: NHL legend Ted Lindsay passed away at 93, Ryan Kesler hit 1,000 games while Matt Cullen hit 1,500. The Golden Knights are 6-1 since acquiring Stone - is he the missing piece to a cup? Jon Cooper praises Mitch Marner as the smartest player the league has ever seen - really Jon?! Crosby's name is thrown around in Selke talks because he has nothing else left to win. NHL GM's met in FL last week to discuss rule changes. On the social media front, Jason Pominville denied himself a backdoor open net goal. A horrific leg sweep in a French pro league left a player unconscious. A strong uppercut in a Swedish league launched a player's helmet at least 10 feet in the air. The Minnesota state tournament had a number of highlights between intros and OT winners. And did you see the beer leaguer who shotgunned his Tim Horton's coffee in the drive thru?! All before the boys place their Weekly Picks and play a round of Top Shelf Trivia.

John Tavares isn't met with a warm welcome by Islanders' fans & Sean Avery comes to his defense. Marc Crawford replaces Guy Boucher behind the Senators' bench. Should the NHL extend 3-on-3 and eliminate the shootout, per Tortorella's suggestion? The Flyers officially set an NHL record. 34-year-old Brad Richardson is having a career year. Ovi passes Gretzky & Bossy. Is it no longer "classless" to score between your legs? Iginla & Doan's numbers are retired. Holyfield joins the Hurricanes post-game celebration. Carey Price consoles a young fan. Beer league goalie crosses the line. A young girl hockey player told her mom to "shut up" from the penalty box. Marchand acts particularly devilish. And Toffoli experiences some instant stick karma. All before the boys place their Weekly Picks and play some Top Shelf Trivia.

Rubes & Kitts get the boys up to speed on their beer league playoffs, including multiple blown scoring chances by Rubes in the championship game. The boys then jump deep into trade deadline talk including the big winners and losers of the day. ICYMI, undrafted Chris Kunitz played his 1,000th NHL game, Ryan Millers passed John Vanbiesbrouck for most wins by a US goalie, Joe Thornton scores a hat trick after 8+ years from his last, Ovi hits 40 to tie Dionne and Lemieux with 2nd most seasons with 40+ [look out Gretzky!], Laine recently came out of his scoring slump but how much $$ will it have cost him, while Kucherov and Lightning don't show any signs of slowing down. What's the best beer league name you've heard? Have you seen our #hockeytough posts on IG? How about Barzal & Beauvillier's warmup routine? Did McDavid deserve 2 games? And if you haven't heard the 4-year-old mic'd up for his mite practice, do it! All before the boys place their Weekly Picks decisions and play Top Shelf Trivia.

Schwartz's weekend bday celebration solidified one thing: Rubeo & Schwartz have fat kid tendencies. Kustron, a college lax head coach, shares his awful Saturday before Kitts finally rallies the troops to talk hockey. Jumbo Joe Thornton tied Selanne for points and passed Gordie Howe for most career assists - what a legend?! Pastrnak required thumb surgery after falling leaving a "team sponsorship dinner." But Kitts and the boys ponder what really happened. Malkin almost decapitated Raffl. Matthews scores his 100th. Kessel records his 800th point. Kucherov maintains his staggering production - will he score 120+ points? Are big clean hits permissible in today's NHL without a fight? The Flyers acquire G Cam Talbot from EDM before EDM reacquires F Sam Gagner. Cory Schneider records his first W since 12/27/18. Stamkos almost broke Cogaliano's ankles and Marner makes a young fan's Valentine's Day. And can you believe the movie Happy Gilmore is 23 years old - what's your favorite quote? And the boys talk hockey nicknames and trade deadline deals before playing Weekly Picks and Top Shelf Trivia.

What's the ideal time for a beer league game? Rubeo wants to know with his and Kittelberger's 11:10 PM playoff game on the horizon. Schwartz witnesses batshit crazy hockey parents firsthand, all after Kus intros the show with the "blockbuster" trade of Nate Thompson to Montreal. Kitts follows with a roundup of the NHL standings, including Anaheim Ducks' 2 wins in 54 days resulting in the firing of Randy Carlyle (are they considering Gordon Bombay as his replacement?!). Crosby passes Lemieux in games played as a Penguin although his other stats are nearly as impressive as #66. Luongo moves into 2nd all times in games played as a netminder only trailing Martin Brodeur. Lindholm continues to produce and explains his mockery of the Hurricanes' viking clap. Elias Pettersson continues to light the lamp at a remarkable pace although no one has as many 5-on-5 goals since the beginning on 2016-17 season as Auston Matthews. And did you see Crosby's questionable play on Tyler Johnson? Or the Swiss league penalty shot where the eventual scorer skated back towards the red line briefly to retrieve a lost puck? Or McDavid's lighting fast hands in warmups? What sorcery?! All before placing Weekly Picks predictions and playing Top Shelf Trivia.

Kittelberger & Rubeo discuss their beer league team's come-from-behind victory to qualify for the playoffs before the boys jump into NHL action like the early trade deadline frenzy, Matthews 5-year contract extension, Malkin and Stamkos pillow-fight, Ovi passing Fedorov, the Flyers winning 8 straight but somehow still on the outside looking in on a playoff spot, Laine's goal scoring or lack thereof, and Kane ripping it up. Before talking about the craziness of youth hockey, Lindholm mocking his old squad, and a goalie's girlfriend who defaced his beloved pads for cheating. That and more before Weekly Picks and Top Shelf Trivia.

Schwartz & Rubeo share stories of their hockey weekend in Sun Valley before the crew dives into NHL action. ICYMI: Crosby led the Metropolitan division to All-Star game victory. Ovi, Kucherov, & Lehner lead the league statistically at the All-Star break. Toews & Kessel hit 20 goals to extend their season streaks to 12 & 11 respectively. Hoffman is continuing to torch goalies wearing #68. Beyond 99, what numbers are off limits? Lundqvist moves to 6th all-time in wins. The Predators will face off against the Stars in next year's Winter Classic. Rod "the bod" Brind-Amour calls out his team. Berglund comments on walking away from his contract. Chiarelli is relieved of his duties but not without one last questionable move. John Scott recovers after falling through the ice on Lake Cedar. Plus much more before Weekly Picks and Top Shelf Trivia.

After getting 10 stitches earlier in the game, Kus calls Conor Garland's game-winner the ultimate example of hockey karma. But is it better than Steve Sullivan & his heckler in Colorado? ICYMI: Cogliano was traded to Dallas, Josh Gorges and Rick Nash announce their retirement, Bobrovsky is told to stay home, ESPN outlines the struggles of hockey players finding pants that fit their butts, Snoop Dogg does play-by-play at the Kings game, & wait till you see the prop bets the NHL has coming thanks to their new tracking technology. And is a slapshot on a breakaway legit or a dick move? Did Matt Strome rush off the ice after his OT GW to poop? Yandle swings an ax and MacKinnon throws a hissy fit. All that and more before Weekly Picks and Top Shelf Trivia.
