In honor of the USA Women's soccer win, we thought we would honor one of our own, USA Women's hockey star Brianna Decker.

Hailing from a town of 1,500 people, Brianna Decker knew that if she wanted go far in her hockey career she would need to leave the comfy confines of Dousman, Wisconsin. The two-time Olympian has always set a high standard for herself, which has led to her becoming a record breaker, history maker in many instances. This includes recording a 32-game scoring streak at Wisconsin (the longest ever for the women's program), taking part in a boycott of the 2017 World Championships for better support from the National Program, winning the first Olympic gold medal for the US in 20 years and establishing herself as a premier passer at the 2019 NHL All-Star game in San Jose. (Ep. 17)

NHL All Star Weekend!We spent the weekend in San Jose stalking Gritty, fangirling over Kendall Coyne and Brianna Decker, and debating conspiracy theories involving Nathan MacKinnon and Sidney Crosby.

On Thursday's episode of Spittin' Chiclets the guys are joined by maybe the most popular person on hockey twitter right now, Kendall Coyne Schofield who took the NHL Skills Competition by storm this past weekend. She joined to talk about all the accomplishments in her career, woman's hockey, paying Brianna Decker and more. The guys were also joined by Dustin Penner to talk about everything under the sun. The guys get some good stories from their playing days with a lot of Edmonton talk. The guys also go around the league and touch on some NHL news, trades, and a few more.

Peter returns from an island paradise as the Her Ice duo dive into the week's past games, shout-out a certain Park Rapids goaltender, and discuss the performances of Kendall Coyne Schofield and Brianna Decker at the NHL All-Star Game.

Michael Fletcher weighs in on Colin Kaepernick's effect on the NFL to this day. Brianna Decker discusses the aftermath from her appearance at this year's NHL All-Star game.

THN's Matt Larkin and Ken Campbell discuss the Jake Muzzin trade, Brianna Decker and Kendall Coyne Schofield's performances at All-Star weekend (8:55). Then, Matt gives out some fantasy insider pickup tips (18:05) and Ken gives his hot take of the week (20:18).

The All-Star Break is complete and the second half of the season is underway! The guys talk about CCM paying Brianna Decker after the NHL refused to pay her for winning the premier passing competition and how the Oilers will survive post Chiarelli. They also go take a look around the league to see how each division is doing and then dig into the Preds to see what they can do down the back half to get into the best position possible as the playoffs loom on the horizon. We'd love to have you follow the show @MusicCityGold on Twitter! The guys can be found at: Kyle - @kylehancock Daniel - @seedandrum Matt - @MattBain31

Thank all that is holy, hockey is back. Sure, the ASG break is fun for SOME of us (I’m looking at you, people in Canada, who had the GOOD All-Star Weekend broadcast) but the rest of us had to suffer through the not-fun bits to see our old faves and new faves including Kendall Coyne and Brianna Decker who Tore. It. Up. Deb & Erika break down the highlights and lowlights of All-Star Weekend and the resource disparity between men and women’s pro hockey, starting from development. We also touch on the new razzle-dazzle technology the NHL launching next year and the possible impact it will have on the league. We close our regular segment with the Muzzin trade and why it is a good thing (In Deb’s opinion). In this episode’s “What the Puck” we talk about the importance of scouting and why having depth in your organization is critical. Finally, we close on an adorable hockey tidbit: Hockey Puppers. Have an opinion, question or thoughts about hockey? Hit us up on twitter @beginnerspuck or drop us an email at beginnerspuck@gmail.com Host Erika Ensign and Deborah Stanish.

Steph, earl, and Rudo are frustrated by all this Avs losing, bored by the all star game, and excited to see Kendall Coyne Schofield and Brianna Decker from the USWNT showcasing their own talents at the event anyway! Plus, Tyson Jost in the AHL, Spencer Martin had a nearly-nice shutout, and join us next week for a trade deadline preview!

Show number 102 brings with it the upcoming anniversary of the Two Man Forecheck.  Two years in and we are still having fun! With that, we welcome everyone to our weekly discussion which we open with our memory from 2 years of recording.  This plunges us deeper into a conversation about the coaching, specifically goaltending, of the Flyers.  Mike waxes poetic about the captaincy of Blake Wheeler for the Winnipeg Jets. The Edmonton Oilers have relieved Peter Chiarelli of his G.M. duties and not too soon we feel.  He has not identified any direction for the team, and they seem to be adrift in a sea of mediocrity.  Yes, they made the playoffs two years ago, but haven’t really made any inroads toward staying a playoff contender. Josh Gorges played 13 seasons in the NHL, most with the Canadiens.  He also played 4 seasons with the Buffalo Sabres but Jason Botteril did not offer him a contract at the end of last season.  As he didn’t catch on anywhere else, he officially announced his retirement on January 14th.  We at the Two Man Forecheck wish him well in all his future endeavors and will miss a defensive defenseman that played with heart, grit and determination, never taking a night or a shift off.  Thank you, Josh. Kendall Coyne and Brianna Decker were involved with NHL All Star weekend festivities, but only Coyne was officially competing during the skills competition.  Brianna was paid the $25,000 but was not officially part of the passing skill. Overall talk about the All-Star Weekend didn’t last too long, but some of the individuals were mentioned, John Carlson in particular as it was his first all-star selection (hard to believe).  We also came up with some events to add, tell us what you think should be added to the all-star weekend. We finally move on to our comparison of Eastern and Western Conference teams we created (big Thank you to Capfriendly) from the bottom three teams from each conference.  The teams had to comply with current cap restraints and be comprised of players from Detroit, Philly and Ottawa (East) as well as Chicago, St. Louis and L.A. (West).  Chris broke the cap rule by not getting to the cap floor with his Eastern Conference team.  Most of the players were the same on both squads, but some differences appeared, and some issues came to light such as the lack of left-wing players that were worthy of our choices in the East. Our Twitter poll from last week revolved around the most surprising team from the first half of the season.  The results were to be expected, with the Islanders garnering the most votes, but Buffalo should have been given serious consideration in our opinion, although they have hit a rough patch. We have two Twitter Polls this week, one related to our teams, which can be found at @theoffwing, and a second poll regarding women playing in the NHL at what position, to be found at @pucksage. We hope you enjoy this show and vote in our polls.  Thank you for two years of listening, we hope you stay with us and…Enjoy the show!

Peter Chiarelli got fired this week and Mike is happy! Lots of talk about how it had to happen and Mike tells how it actually did happen. Also, Mike has a detailed proposal on how to fix the Oilers.

Brianna drops in to discuss her path to the top of Women's hockey! Decker left the boys amazed at her story. Simply put, awesome!

Remember when we weren't sure if Brianna Decker would play pro hockey this season? Yeah...well we were wrong. This week we went absolutely bonkers because Packaglino got engaged, Brenda Andress announced her retirment as CWHL commish, they quickly announced an interim replacement, and we try to make sense of the news of the women's hockey teams in China. And we plan a wedding.

Joined this week by special guest Olympic Gold Medalist Brianna Decker!

We're talking Women's Olympic Ice Hockey this week! First up, Jill is beyond excited to talk with one of the "other Olympians." That's right, the Games wouldn't be possible without officials, and women's hockey linesman Jessica Leclerc has proven she has what it takes to be an Olympic official. We've got her story, plus Jill's conversation with U.S. Women's Ice Hockey forward Brianna Decker. Then there's exciting news about North Korea and South Korea marching together, tough news for biathlete and Olympic great Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, and trivia!

Dousman native Brianna Decker swings by (19:30) to talk about the U.S. Women's Hockey Team's battle with USA Hockey for equal treatment, followed by a gold-medal performance at the World Championships in Michigan. JP and JR also discuss the #Bucks with the postseason right ahead (5:30) and what the team will look to do to go from a top-six Eastern Conference team to a top-three team. Finally, what are the major takeaways after one week of #Brewers baseball (33:15)? #usahockey

Nicole Haase, a Milwaukeean who covers women's hockey extensively at USCHO.com and elsewhere, stops by to talk about the circumstances surrounding the U.S. Women's Hockey Team and its labor standoff with USA Hockey (28:30). The team, which includes Lake Country natives Brianna Decker and Alex Rigsby, successfully reached an agreement with USA Hockey on March 28, avoiding a boycott of the IIHF World Championships in Michigan, beginning this week. Also, JP reports back from Madison Square Garden after the Wisconsin Badgers crushing defeat at the hands of Florida in the NCAA Tournament (3:00), and in the March Madness spirit, he re-seeds the WIAA boys basketball postseason (32 teams) as if it contained just one division, and the guys choose their One State Champion To Rule Them All (9:25).
