Podcasts about hockey talk

From the early 2000s to today, the Edmonton Oilers have had their share of players under the microscope. But who faced the most criticism from fans and media: Jesse Puljujärvi or Shawn Horcoff?   We dive into both eras — Horcoff wearing the "C" during tough years, and Puljujärvi's up-and-down tenure as a former 4th overall pick — to figure out who really took more heat in Edmonton.   2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!

The Penguins also rebooted their Hall of Fame, but a notable writer was left off their voter list.

Kenny Pickett was traded, again. It's now his 4th team in as many years. But it's a worse look for Kevin Colbert, whose final draft looks like an absolute disaster. The Steelers also cut DeMarvin Leal, who came from the same draft class, which now means their first 3 picks from 2022 are gone, with only Connor Heyward and Calvin Austin still on the roster. Some calls on the final few drafts of the Kevin Colbert era. Happy 60th, Joe Starkey! The Penguins also rebooted their Hall of Fame, but a notable writer was left off their voter list. More calls on the Steelers.

The Oil Stream returns with a heated debate — who are the biggest villains in Oilers history?   In this episode, Reid and Hernan dig into the all-time discussions of players, coaches, and teams that Oilers fans have loved to hate. From playoff heartbreakers to regular-season thorns in the side, they explore the names that still get a rise out of Edmonton to this day. Was it a rival goaltender who always stood on his head? A superstar who torched the Oilers year after year? Or maybe a former Oiler who came back to haunt them?   The Oil Stream is presented by Boston Pizza!

On this off-season episode of 2 Guys & A Goalie, the crew takes a detour from the usual playbook to dive into a unique angle: the secretive world of football coaches and their paranoia around letting decisions leak to the media. How does that level of control compare to NHL bench bosses, who tend to play things a bit cooler, even when the stakes are just as high? And in a moment of reflection, we tip our caps to a legend, sharing a few thoughts on the recent passing of Hulk Hogan. The Hulkster was larger than life in and out of the ring, and his impact on sports entertainment won't be forgotten.  

The Oil Stream returns with a fiery debate — who's the most criticized Oiler of all time? In this episode, Dusty and Hernan dive deep into Oilers history to spotlight the player who's taken the most heat from fans and media alike. Is it a former high draft pick who didn't pan out? A goalie who couldn't make the big save? Or a veteran whose contract never lived up to expectations? The guys break down the candidates, the context, and why certain players drew so much ire, fair or not.  

On this off-season episode of 2 Guys & A Goalie, the crew dives into a spirited Oilers debate — breaking down the roster, off-season moves, and what the team needs to get over the hump.

Plus, a few laughs along the way, as always.  

Paul Skenes shoving again last night. This time it came against the best team in the American League, the Detroit Tigers. 6 innings of shut out baseball and the bullpen closed it out to win the game, 3-0. Even though it seems like the ending is inevitable with Skenes, should we appreciate every start he makes here? Ozzy Osbourne has passed away. We took some calls on the Buccos. HOCKEY TALK! How much would hockey history change if the first round was Best-of-5 instead of a 7-game series? It would have impacted a couple Penguins Stanley Cup wins. More calls following a Paul Skenes victory.

HOCKEY TALK! Do the rumors of Mario Lemieux and co. rebuying the Penguins still have a pulse?

Oneil Cruz dazzled in the HR Derby last night, including a homer that went 513 feet. Poni is in semi-freak-out mode that people are overreacting to what Cruz did in an exhibition/glorified batting practice. He claimed he enjoyed watching Cruz put on a show even though he didn't want him to do well. Poni attacked Jeff Hathhorn for suggesting the Pirates should sign Cruz long-term after last night. The guys revisited a thought yesterday – what if Cruz has a 30 HR, 50 SB season despite otherwise lackluster numbers? The conversation turned to Bryan Reynolds and the disappointing season he is putting together. Is the idea of Oneil Cruz being the highest-paid Pirates player ever as ridiculous as it sounds? One caller suggested that teams around baseball didn't know Cruz before last night. HOCKEY TALK! Do the rumors of Mario Lemieux and co. rebuying the Penguins still have a pulse?

What should the expectations be for the promising rookie, and where might he slot in the lineup?   Plus, we recap all the highlights and hijinks from the second annual EST Golf Classic — who showed up, who showed out, and who completely fell apart on the back nine.

Happy Anniversary, Paul Skenes! It's been 2 years since the Pirates drafted him and they have gotten worse in the process. How is that possible? Does Skenes deserve any blame? It's enraging to see what the Pirates have done so far with one of the best pitchers in baseball. How are the Pirates worse with Paul Skenes? HOCKEY TALK! Poni can't figure out why his question about Gavin McKenna made people mad. Poni said people in Penn State gear give him bad looks.
