Alex Ovechkin was drunk for a solid 96 straight hours after winning his first Stanley Cup, and god bless him for it! Dave, Geeta & Ryan join you this week to wrap up the Stanley Cup Final. The Washington Capitals win their first Cup in franchise history in five games against the Vegas Golden Knights. But all people want to discuss is Alex Ovechkin drinking every single beer in the greater Maryland region. They look back at the playoffs, what it took for the Capitals to win the holy grail of hockey. And as well, discuss what the Tampa Bay Lightning need to do to do what Washington just did. Do they blow up the core? Or stick with it? They also talk about John Tavares' pending unrestricted free agency. There are rumours of a Vancouver visit for Trevor, Jimbo and the gang to wine and dine him. Will the Real Johnny Hockey come to the west coast? Or are they more realistic landing spots out east? They talk about Brandon Sutter's future with the Vancouver Canucks. With a lot of California teams calling about the franchise centreman, could he be moved if the price is right? Also, Milan Lucic seems to be wanting out of Edmonton. Will the Eriksson/Lucic switch finally happen?

Eight hours after Team Canada defeated the Swedes 3-0 to win the gold medal, the gang gathers, sleep deprived and hung over from earlier in the morning.  We chat about our night watching the game at a bar on Granville open late (but not serving alcohol) and the great atmosphere it was despite the 4am start. It's also part 2 of our interview with Jim Robson and John Ashbridge. In this episode, Jim talks about the old Chicago Stadium and the 1982 Canucks team, the New Westminster Bruins and the old Queen's Park arena, one of the most colourful characters in Canucks history, Gary Smith and so much more! Enjoy! 

The long time voice of the Vancouver Canucks, Jim Robson and Vancouver Canucks and Giants public address announcer John Ashbridge join the podcast this week.  They sit down with Geeta, Sheila, Dave and Ryan to talk all about hockey in Vancouver over the years. From the old Western Hockey League Vancouver Canucks, to the failed expansion draft bid in 1967 and the protests that followed from Vancouver hockey fans, Jim Robson tells it all without missing a beat. Stories of streakers at the Pacific Coliseum during Hockey Night in Canada to Andre The Giant at the Penthouse looking to beat up Jim, the first half of this interview is fantastic! Jim also talks about a memorable night when the Philadelphia Flyers hopped the glass at the Coliseum and took on some fans, as well as talks about the troubles they faced calling the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals from deep inside the balcony in Madison Square Garden surrounded by New York fans in blue shirts! Part 2 of the interview comes next week! Enjoy!

Live on tape from the Pacific Coliseum, the band is back together! Sheila, Dave and Ryan reform the three man podcast booth for the first time in over a month and shoot the breeze about hockey on the eve of the Olympic Break in the NHL. The show starts off with a ringing endorsement from Vancouver Canucks and Vancouver Giants public address announcer John Ashbridge commemorating the twentieth episode of Pucks on net. Topics covered this week include: The Olympic opening ceremonies, Marty St. Louis and Zedeno Chara’s tall man problems he’s currently facing in Sochi. We talk about the upcoming men’s hockey tournament and what we’re looking forward to in the next few weeks. We touch on the Canucks’ troubles, Cory Perry and Ryan Getzlaf’s facetiming Dustin Penner and hockey equipment etiquette all while surrounded by a herd of beer league hockey players that had taken over the Coliseum hours before the Vancouver Giants. Vs, Edmonton Oil Kings  game that evening. Fun and loose episode this week! Enjoy!

Dave and Ryan are live on tape on location from the Pacific Coliseum in scenic East Van.  Home to the WHL's Vancouver Giants and the old home of the Vancouver Canucks, we set up shop like a lemonade stand in the stands and chat with whoever comes by. John Ashbridge, Giants and Canucks’ PA announcer joins us first. He chats with us about the Pavel Bure's #10 being retired, his friendship with Gino Odjick and the unusual way Boston Bruins' power forward Milan Lucic joined the Vancouver Giants'. Later, we're joined by Vancouver Giants d-man and Calgary Flames prospect Brett Kulak. He sits down for a loose conversation about wearing #69 on Don Hay's hockey team, the NHL draft combine and what his first taste of pro hockey was like, last season playing a handful of games with the AHL's Abbotsford Heat. Finally, hip-hop artist and friend of the show Dan, aka Cuddle Puppy, joined us. We chat about high school hockey in Yellowknife, his hop influences and of course, Mike Modano! Cuddle Puppy performed the Giants rap song heard through out the podcast. One of the biggest shows we've ever produced and easily the most fun. Enjoy everybody! 

This week's episode begins with the warm familiar voice of Vancouver Canucks and Vancouver Giants public address announcer John Ashbridge with a public service announcement and warning regarding the Pucks on net podcast.  Sheila finally returns to the podcast after a brief hiatus and joins Ryan and Dave to discuss what's going on in the world of hockey.And the answer, frankly, is not much. A bit of a slow weekend this week, that was until the big Thomas Vanek and Matt Moulson trade happened a few hours after recording this episode, but none the less, we chat about the likeable Calgary Flames and the many things not to like about the Buffalo Sabres. Afterwards, we chat about one of the worst teams in NHL history, the 1992/93 expansion Ottawa Senators. They won a measly 10 games that year. They assembled a lunch buck journeyman team and purposely lost in order to draft high the following year. The gang also chats about bad halloween costumes, HBO's Girls and Ryan's recent trip to Moose Jaw.All this and more on a very special episode of Pucks on net. Enjoy!
