It's a quick little podcast but here is an update on the boys and how they're doing at the Tourism Jasper Pond Hockey Tournament!

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your Monday. On today's podcast, the guys looked at the NFL playoffs, the Battle of Alberta, the Metaverse, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a look at the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament that's kicking off this weekend and how everyone is incredibly excited to get on the ice. With that excitement out of the way, Baggedmilk turned the conversation towards yesterday's Bills playoff loss as everyone was wondering how he handled such a crushing defeat. Getting to some good news, the guys then covered Saturday's Battle of Alberta win and spoke at length about how much everyone surrounding the Oilers needed that win. Even with that win, the guys on the podcast wondered if the Oilers still need to add more meat to their lineup to make sure they're not getting pushed around at all. From there, the podcast turned back towards the Metaverse and chatted about whether or not the guys would be interested in participating in events that weren't "real" even though they felt like it. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a story about how Jay managed to get the Oilersnation Instagram account back after two years in the dark.

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your Monday. Today, the guys looked at the Oilers' continuous struggles, provided a Chicago Mix update, and a whole lot more. To kick off the episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a look at Saturday night's loss to the Ottawa Senators and how it was such a deflating loss, especially after carrying a two-goal lead into the third period. No matter how you slice it, everything that could go wrong has gone wrong lately, and with a very tough schedule coming up, the guys are trying to figure out what comes next. Needless to say, the vibes around here are anything but positive right now. Getting away from the Oilers, the guys dove into their Wordle strategies as the daily word game continues to take over the Internet right now. Is everyone playing? Do the guys have strategies? From there, the guys dove into a conversation from last Thursday's podcast about Chicago Mix after Real Life listener, Electronic Jordan, went to Costco and provided the kind of research that was desperately needed. As you'll hear, Electronic Jordan put in the work on this assignment and the results were truly incredible. Back to sports, the boys looked at a very busy NFL weekend as the playoffs kicked off and the bets were flying. Lastly, the guys wrapped up this week's podcast with a look ahead at the Winter Olympics as everyone on the podcast is looking for something to get excited about after a very tough month of Oilers fandom has started to drag them down.

A new episode of The Real Life Podcast is here! Today on the show, the gang kicked things off by getting into a really deep discussion about the dreams they've been having recently, how often they remember their dreams, and what they could mean. It was definitely a weird way to start the pod. After that, Chalmers shared a new TV series that he's been hooked too and then finally, the group dug into the struggling Edmonton Oilers. Jay and Yaremchuk are FED UP with the way the team has been playing. They show little heart, their effort is inconsistent, and the results don't look like they're going to get better. Jay wants changes NOW! They also gave our their Trades Link hardest worker of the week award. To wrap things up, they looked back at 2021 and shared some of the favourite podcast memories that listeners shared over the last few days. They also looked ahead to a great memory that they're looking forward to making in early 2022 with Tourism Jasper! All of that and more in episode 342 of The Real Life Podcast! ENJOY!

Another Thursday has landed on our calendars and the boys are back with a fresh Real Life Podcast to help you get into the Christmas break. Today, the boys talked about what happened on the Christmas break, the Oilers' return, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the podcast got started with a look at the Christmas break and what everyone got up to with a couple of well-deserved days off. From there, the guys looked back at the year 2021 and offered up some of the lessons they learned over the past 12 months and whether there were any positives to be pulled from what was another trying year. The guys also looked ahead at 2022 and offered up some New Years' resolutions for the Edmonton Oilers as work their way into a new calendar year. Sticking with the Oilers, the guys looked at what the team needs and whether or not there's any possibility of a trade happening in the coming weeks that sends a message to the squad that they need to be better. As the conversation progressed, however, it seemed like there isn't much hope among the boys that the current management group has the stones or the resources to pull off the moves that need to get done. Are the boys wrong? Only time will tell, but the Oilers are very quickly erasing all of the goodwill they built from themselves in the early portion of the season and that's a trend that desperately needs to change.

Another Thursday has landed on our calendars and the boys are back with a fresh Real Life Podcast to help you get into the Christmas break. Today, the boys were talking about Festivus grievances, the Jasper pond hockey tournament, betting on random Bowl games, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the podcast got started with a look at Festivus and that meant the boys had a chance to air their grievances and share their feats of strength. Seeing as COVID poked its ugly head into the Christmas season for the second straight year, there's no doubt that Omicron was high up on everyone's list of grievances. Seeing as the NHL may or may not actually be back for the 27th as planned, the lack of sports had some of the guys betting on games they wouldn't otherwise be interested in. The guys also talked about the Jasper pond hockey tournament that kicks off in late January and how the boys are pumped to get back into the tournament after a few years away. From there, the podcast fell off the rails a little bit as the guys discussed everything from stealing ice makers to holiday drinks and everything in between. 

A brand new week has arrived on our calendars and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through what's left of your week before the Christmas break. Today, the guys looked at the NHL schedule postponement, shows to watch with no hockey, and a whole lot more. To kick off the episode of Real Life, the boys got started with an update about the mouse situation at Wanye Manor in 2021 and how things have evolved over the last months since we last checked in. Somehow the mouse talk led to a conversation about the moon landing and how not everyone on the show is quite so certain that things went down the way we were told. Unsurprisingly, talking about moon landing conspiracy theories led the boys down a strange path of talking about TV shows to watch now that there's no hockey for the next week or so. From mountain climbing documentaries to survival shows and everything in between, this was about as random of a 20-minute segment as you'll get on the Real Life Podcast. Getting back to hockey, the guys wanted to talk a little bit about how the Oilers getting back in the win column with a pair of gutsy wins over the Blue Jackets and Kraken. Seeing as some key contributors were placed on COVID protocol over the last week, the boys wanted to close out the Monday episode with some props for the team as they desperately needed to get back in the win column.

Tonight we got more major news in the NHL as Joel Quenneville has resigned as the Head Coach of the Florida Panthers. Frank and Jason broke down that news and talked about the new interim Head Coach in Florida: Andrew Brunette. Of course, talking about the on-ice product doesn't feel very significant right now. The bulk of this episode was spent talking about the fallout from the Chicago Blackhawks investigation. Not only did they talk about the repercussions of the investigation, but they also talked about Kyle Beach and the courageousness he showed by making his identity known. 

With the second week of the season in the books, Frank and Jason took the podcast to go through some of the big storylines from around the league. They hit on the struggling teams (Maple Leafs, Golden Knights, Blackhawks) and the teams that are off to hot starts (Panthers, Penguins, Sharks). Frank also recapped his trip to Seattle for the Kraken's first-ever home game. The Climate Pledge Arena has a lot of very unique features and Frank got a chance to see them all first hand. They also brought in Tyler Yaremchuk for a brand new round of 'Fill In The Blank' where they gave their new picks for the Calder Trophy. 

Frank and Jason are back with a new episode of The DFO Rundown! The two dug into some of the bigger stories from around the NHL now that the 2021-22 season is officially one week old. They talked about some teams that are off to disappointing starts, a coach that could be feeling some pressure, and brought in Tyler Yaremchuk for a new segment called 'Fill in the Blank'!   They wrapped things up by talking about the Vitali Kravtsov situation in New York and what could happen once Evander Kane finishes up his 21-game suspension.

A new episode of The DFO Rundown is here! The season is underway and there are no shortage of storylines from the first few days of action. Frank and Jason started the pod by talking about the Brady Tkachuk deal and did a brand new round of 'Buy or Sell' with Tyler Yaremchuk. They also welcomed Nashville Predators Assistant GM Scott Nichol to the show. He talked about his path to the NHL, his playing career, player development, and his new gig!

The regular season starts tomorrow and it feels good to say that! Frank and Jason wrapped up their season preview series today on the pod by taking an in-depth look at the Western Conference. They ranked the teams in each division and talked about who they think will get to the playoffs in the West. There were a few disagreements but there are also a few teams that they both think will have down seasons. They also went through their projected playoff brackets and shared their Stanley Cup winners for the year!   Before they got into all of that, they also hit on the two big contract extensions that we saw this week. Does the Zibenjad deal mean that the Rangers are officially out on Jack Eichel? Is the Barkov deal better for the team or the player? Frank and Jason both gave their takes!

Frank and Jason are back at the Wood Jerseys studio for a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown (pres. by Fantrax)! With the start of the season just days away, they kicked off their season preview predictions and took an in-depth look at the Eastern Conference. Before they got into that though, they dug into the most recent news surrounding Jack Eichel, Frank shared a very interesting fact about the growing rivalry between the Hurricanes and Canadiens, and they touched on the COVID-19 news coming out of Pittsburgh. They also brought in Tyler Yaremchuk for a new edition of 'Buy or Sell'!

Another Thursday has arrived on our calendars and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode to help you get you through what's left of your week. Today, the boys were talking about the new podcast studio, Brendan Perlini, and a whole lot more.   To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with stories from their school days for some reason, which led down a strange road of grudges about parents giving their stuff away. That led to the boys chatting about the new recording studio and how only half of the cast members were told the podcast was being recorded at Nation HQ today. Somehow, the podcast studio talk caused Chalmers to complain about Connor McDavid's social media feed only featuring ads as opposed to what he's doing on a day-to-day basis. The guys also checked in on the latest round of NFL fan fights which cause Wanye, Jay, and Chalmers to reminisce about their fighting days and how Chalmers was apparently to blame for all of it. Lastly, we wrapped up the podcast with another round of construction tips with Chalmers to help everyone get ready for the coming winter.

Another Monday is here and that means we have a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown (pres. by Fantrax). Today on the pod, we welcomed in our newest teammate: Scott Burnside! He's covered the league for almost 25 years and now he's bringing his talents to Daily Faceoff for the upcoming season!    They kicked off their chat with Scott by talking about the string of tweets that Robin Lehner sent out over the weekend. That eventually turned into a bigger conversation about culture in hockey and how the NHL has handled the recent investigations that they have had to do. From there, they got into the Jack Eichel situation and got Scott's take on that. They wrapped up their chat by playing a little bit of Rapid Fire to get to know Scott better.   Off the top of the episode, they also got into who could be in the mix for the first overall pick at the end of the season. Yes, the season hasn't even started yet and we are talking about who could be tanking. What a time!

The weekend may be over but that doesn't mean the fun has to end as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get through what's left of your Monday. In today's episode, the guys looked at Facebook and Instagram being down, the NHL preseason, Joey Moss' locker room tribute, and a whole lot more. Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a look at Facebook and Instagram being down and how the Internet is freaking out about the platforms being down. As much as we tend not to think about those platforms all that often apart from getting mad at relatives for their Farmville invites, there is nothing quite as entertaining as the reactions that spread around social media when one of the major platforms are is down.  Moving over to the Oilers, the guys got into some preseason talk as the Oilers continue to make cuts and inch their way towards an opening night roster. As the preseason wears on, the lineups are starting to take shape and it seemed like the guys are starting to get a little bit more fired up about the start of a new year.

A new episode of The DFO Rundown is here to bring you into the weekend! This week's episode was loaded with interesting topics as Gregor and Seravalli started things off by digging into the news that the Vancouver Canucks have gotten their two RFA's signed. From there they got into 'Buy or Sell' and a Pacific Division Preview with Tyler Yaremchuk.    In the second half of the podcast, they welcomed Rob Rossi from The Athletic to talk a little Pittsburgh Penguins. The team won't have Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin to start the season and that really makes things interesting as they head into what could be a pivotal year for the organization. Could this be the final year for the likes of Malkin and Letang in Pittsburgh? Rossi gave us some fantastic insight.

Another Thursday has landed on the calendar and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show to help you get you through what's left of your week. Today, the boys were talking National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, fans being back at Rogers Place, and a whole lot more. Kicking off this week's podcast, the guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and why it's important to keep the conversation going beyond just this one day. Here at the Nation, the guys talked about how important it is for stories being posted online to take the time to learn about what happened in this county. Changing gears, the guys spoke at length about the preseason that's in full swing and whether or not we should be getting excited about how well the Oilers have done so far. From Zach Hyman finding a home on McDavid's wing to Lamborghini Perlini scoring goals en masse, the Kool-Aid was going down smooth as the guys had a hard time containing their excitement for the new season. Sticking with sports, the guys did another round of NFL bets ahead of the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Bengals and the Jaguars, which kicked off another round of chirps from the guys as they're all trying to muscle their way up the ladder as the podcast's best bettor.

The weekend may be over but that doesn't mean the fun has to end as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get through what's left of your Monday. In today's episode, the guys covered the Oilers' pre-season win over the Flames, climbing the oil derrick, and welcomed John Scott to the podcast to discuss all things hockey and preview the NHL season. To kick off the Monday podcast, the guys got started with a look at the Ryder Cup and specifically how funny it was to see Justin Thomas and Daniel Berger pounding back a couple of beers on day one of the tournament. Speaking of beers, the Oilers are setting up the oil derrick in Ford Hall near the beer gardens which prompted the guys to wonder how long it will take before some drunk dude decides to climb that baby. Getting the show back on the rails, the guys welcomed former NHL tough guy and Dropping the Gloves host, John Scott, to the podcast to talk about everything from sore hips, broken hands, and what it's like to play men's league as a retired NHLer. Looking ahead at the upcoming season, the guys asked John what he expects as the league goes back to its full schedule for the first time since the pandemic started. He also gave the boys a breakdown on what it will be like for the Oilers to have a future Hall of Famer like Duncan Keith in the dressing room. As someone that played with Keith for a couple of years in Chicago, Scott gave his take on how valuable it will be to have a veteran presence like #2 in the room. He also got the boys fired up with his takes on the Oilers that were not overly inspiring but it was definitely fun to hear everyone get fired up about it anyway. 

We have another new member of our team at Daily Faceoff. Former NHL Referee Tim Peel is joining us for the upcoming season and he hopped on the podcast to talk about his career, the incident that happened last season, and more. Tim refereed over 1300 NHL games, 90 playoff games, and even got a chance to officiate the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. He was one of the most experienced officials when his time with the NHL ended. We started the interview by digging into the incident that ended his NHL career and Tim gave his perspective on what happened and how it affected his life.    We also got into the current state of NHL officiating, the mindset of an NHL referee, how the game changes between the regular season and playoffs, and much, much more. Tim was open, honest, and gave some great answers to some tough questions.  

Today on the DFO Rundown, Jason and Frank were joined by their newest teammate Mike McKenna. They got into why he's excited to be joining the team at Daily Faceoff and what he'll be doing this season. Of course, they also talked to him about his professional career. He wore eight different NHL sweaters during his 13-year NHL career and played for over 20 different professional teams. With all that travelling, Mike has an abundance of stories and also gave us some great insight into the world of goaltending. He also shared his unique connection to the world of racing.   We went all the way back to the beginning of his career and Mike talked about being drafted, going to development camps, and how his career could have played out differently. He shared some great stories about the final year of his career as well, which was wild. He also shared why he's interested in getting into the media world!   Before getting to Mike, Jason and Frank also dug into what's happening with Jack Eichel and dug into the big story of unvaccinated players.

Another Thursday has landed on the calendar and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show to help you get you through what's left of your week. Today, they're talking about new projects, podcast censorship, NFL betting, and a whole lot more. To kick things off, the podcast got started with a conversation about Jay's pitch call to ESPN about a potential new deal that the Network is working on for DailyFaceoff.com. From the legal talk to contracts with a massive company like Disney, it was interesting to hear Jay talk a little bit about what it's like for a deal like this to come together. From there, the guys started talking about all of the stuff that got bleeped out of Monday's podcast and the feedback that came in as a result. Did Tyler cut things out that needed to be cut to save the podcast? All unnecessary? Who's to say. Getting to the Oilers, the guys spoke a little bit about training camp, specifically the video that Ryan Rishaug posted that showed Connor McDavid blowing the doors off his teammates in a skating drill. Sticking with McDavid, the guys spent a few minutes talking about how the Oilers will be featured heavily on TNT in the USA this season and how it makes perfect sense to showcase the league's best player in an attempt to grow the game. Lastly, the guys wrapped up this week's podcast with a little bit of betting talk as week 3 of the NFL season kicks off tonight. 

Jason and Frank are back with a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown brought to you by Fantrax. They kicked things off by bringing in Tyler Yaremchuk to recap the NHL's Player Media Tour that took place last week in Chicago. Nathan MacKinnon talked about his diet, Drew Doughty was open about how much he pays attention to projected Olympic rosters, and Steven Stamkos got into his mindset heading into the season. From there they got into more Olympic talk, Jack Eichel and his status heading into the next season, and went in-depth on how things could go down in the Metro Division this season with a new edition of 'Buy or Sell'. To wrap things up, they went through the complete list of players who will be heading to camps on PTO's and who could earn a contract in the next few weeks.

The weekend may be over but that doesn't mean the fun has to end as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get through what's left of your Monday. In today's episode, the guys covered Tyler Yaremchuks's rise to stardom, tennis documentaries, and a whole lot more.   To kick off the Monday podcast, the guys got started by busting Tyler Yaremchuk's balls after he spent a few days in Chicago hobnobbing with some of the NHL's elite last week with Frank Seravalli and the DailyFaceoff crew. From dinners with business daddy to a steak dinner with staff from ESPN to breaking news from Bill Daly, Yaremchuk's first week at full-time with the company was a ridiculous one and it was fun for everyone to hear him tell the story with a huge grin on his face. With Yaremchuk's tires adequately pumped, the podcast got derailed when Chalmers jumped in to talk about tennis documentaries that no one else had seen, but the good news is that it led into a conversation about the fight that broke out at the Cleveland Browns games this past weekend. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a little bit of hockey talk after Kailer Yamamoto finally signed his new deal over the weekend, prompting Wanye to ask whether Yamo is as good as we all hope he needs to be.

Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli are back together for a new episode of The DFO Rundown and this week there was no guest, just straight hockey talk. They kicked things off with a little bit of talk about the NHL's COVID Protocol and some questions that still need to be answered. From there, they got into some of the big-name RFA's that are still sitting unsigned. Will any of Kaprizov, Tkachuk, Hughes, or Pettersson not start the season with their respective clubs? Frank gave us some insight into that. They also brought in Tyler Yaremchuk for a new round of 'Buy or Sell' where they previewed the Central Division. 

We are back with a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli, brought to you by Fantrax. This week on the podcast, they were joined by Cammi Granato. The Hockey Hall of Fame player is now working as a scout in the Seattle Kraken organization. There was a lot to get to with Granato, who is the first female pro scout in the NHL. They kicked things off by talking about a girls hockey tournament that she has gotten going before getting into her new role with the Kraken, her podcast, and more!

The weekend may be over but that doesn't mean the fun has to stop as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get through what's left of your Monday. In today's episode, the guys covered glow golf, the Dansbury Trashers, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Monday podcast, the guys got started with a story about Jay's glow golf experience from this past weekend after a Real Life listener slid into his DMs to see if he'd be interested in entering a team. As you can imagine, golfing in the dark is a completely different animal from a normal round of golf and it was interesting to hear the guys give their takes on what it must be like to play in that environment. From there, the conversation changed gears and dove into the Netflix documentary Untold: Crime and Penalties that covered the Dansbury Trashers, and the boys couldn't contain their excitement about was undoubtedly an insane story. From the way the team was purchased to its unbelievable demise, the story of the Danbury Trashers is something every hockey fan should watch because it is a 90 journey that is endlessly entertaining. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday edition of the podcast with some sports betting talk after the NFL season kicked off, giving everyone a chance to recap their wins and confess to their losses.

We are back with a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown! Today on the pod, we were joined by another former member of the Danbury Trashers: Mike Rupp! He is also a veteran of over 600 NHL games and now works with the NHL Network, but we spent a big part of the interview chatting about his time with the most talked about team in the hockey world right now. Mike shared a bunch of stories that didn't make the cut for the documentary and talked about how he got connected to the Trashers, his first few games there, and some of his favourite moments from his time with the team. He also went on the talk a little bit about the upcoming NHL season.

Another Thursday has landed on the calendar and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show to help you get you through, and this week, they're talking AirPods, Kool-Aid season in Oil Country, and a whole lot more. Kicking off this week's podcast, Baggedmilk and Tyler got the podcast going while the rest of the crew either bailed or had an impossible time trying to join the zoom call, making for a ridiculously disjointed open to the podcast. After finally making his way into the podcast, Jay explained why he's having an impossible time joining the zoom call and how that led him to buy a second pair of AirPods, potentially welching on a deal he made with Baggedmilk to sell him the old headphones if he found them. Are there shenanigans afoot? It looks that way. Getting into Oilers Kool-Aid season, the guys talked about some of the futures bets you can put down on the team right now, and whether or not they'd be willing to put their own money down on bets like McDavid for Hart, Oilers to win, Draisaitl for Hart, and a whole lot more. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a little bit of football talk as the NFL season kicks off tonight, prompting the boys to launch another round of football betting and prop picks.

We continued our offseason interview series today on The DFO Rundown and today, Frank and Jason were joined by Jason Payne of the Cincinnati Cyclones, who is the only black Head Coach in North American Professional Hockey. Jason joined the show to talk about his path to becoming a Head Coach, his playing career, and how he's dealt with racism on his journey to where he is now. Before they got into their chat with Jason, they got into some of the big storylines from around the NHL and brought in Tyler Yaremchuk for a fresh edition of Buy/Sell!

Another Thursday is upon us and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show, and this week, they're talking Donda, Netflix docs, and a whole lot more. The entire Real Life crew was back for the Thursday episode of the podcast, and the boys got started with a conversation about Yaremchuk's vacation and how he missed all of the Oilersnation Open recaps on both Real Life and Oilersnation Radio. Despite trying to talk golf, the guys turned the conversation towards Donda, the Kanye West album that everyone has been waiting for over the past couple of months and offered up a full breakdown on the 27-track banger. Moving over to the NFL, the guys discussed the situation going on with the New England Patriots after Cam Newton got cut in favour of Mac Jones, a surprising move for many football fans but not necessarily for anyone that's followed Bill Belichick for any length of time. Sticking with sports, the guys discussed an upcoming Netflix documentary that will break down the world of golf in a brand new way and it had everyone excited about it. Lastly, the guys wrapped up this week's podcast with a look at the offer sheet shenanigans going on between the Montreal Canadiens and Carolina Hurricanes. Is this type of predatory (read: entertaining) play good for the league?  The entire Real Life crew was back for the Thursday episode of the podcast, and the boys got started with a conversation about Yaremchuk's vacation and how he missed all of the Oilersnation Open recaps on both Real Life and Oilersnation Radio.

A new episode of The DFO Rundown is live and for the first time ever, Jason and Frank were in the same room to record the podcast! Frank is up in Edmonton for the week so we took the chance to record a few episodes of the podcast! The first episode features some talk about Frank's journey up to Edmonton and then the guys welcome in former NHLer Colby Cohen, who is now jumping into the media world to be a broadcaster with the Chicago Blackhawks. Colby, who was a second-round pick back in 2007, talked to us about his playing career, transitioning into a media member, and he even shared some stories about a young Frank Seravalli from the duo's time in minor hockey!   He had a very interesting perspective on working in hockey and what the game has given him. Colby was also very close with Jimmy Hayes and he talked about his relationship with Jimmy and what made him so special.

We are back with another in-person episode of The DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli. Today on the pod, it truly was a family affair as San Jose Sharks forward Noah Gregor joined the show (and yes, he's Jason's nephew).  We started things off by talking about his path to the NHL and the different sports he played growing up. From there, we went on to talk about his NHL debut, the player he was most excited to go up against, and more. Of course, there were some great family stories mixed into the podcast.

Happy Friday! Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli are here with another episode of The DFO Rundown! Today on the pod, they started things off by talking about the situation that's currently brewing between the Arizona Coyotes and the city of Glendale. Frank gave some background info on what's going on there and where the Coyotes could end up going if things continue to go south in the desert. They also talked about the Hall of Fame career of Henrik Lundqvist before getting into "Buy or Sell" with Tyler Yaremchuk, where they covered some big questions for the upcoming season!

The calendar says it's Thursday and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show, and this week, they're talking badass dream jobs, future Wanye voicemail messages, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a conversation about jobs they think are badass after both Baggedmilk and Chalmers saw a fighter jet cruising around the west end. From there, the guys finally got to the Future Wanye voicemail messages after finding out that real Wanye wouldn't be on this week's show, leaving the three boys to try and figure out how the hell the mystery message nailed his impression. Seeing as this was the first time Tyler has played voicemails in a little while, the conversation turned to whether or not the podcast needs more static segments or if it's better to fly by the seat of our pants. Getting away from the structure almost immediately, the guys spent a few minutes recapping what's been going on in the Big Brother house as the season has finally started to get interested. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode with a look at ads being placed on NHL jerseys for the start of the 2022-23 season and whether or not the outrage we're seeing from some folks on social media is justified or not. 

We have wrapped up an INCREDIBLE Stanley Cup Playoff series, and it is time to dive into what has already been a really exciting NHL offseason. With the Seattle Kraken expansion, the NHL Entry Draft, the frozen salary cap, and NHL Free Agency, there is a ton to discuss. Let's chat Seattle Kraken in their FIRST season, NHL diversity and inclusion, and more. We are joined by Chanel Keenan, Intersectionality Consultant for the Seattle Kraken and advocate for diversity and inclusion throughout professional hockey.

Another episode of The DFO Rundown is here and today, Jason and Frank were joined by Oilers Head Coach Dave Tippett, who is about to head into his third season behind the bench in Edmonton. Before getting to Tippett, Frank and Jason talked about the Kirill Kaprizov situation and also, what could be happening with a few free agents that are still available.   With Tippett, they started off with an in-depth talk about his golf game and he shared a funny story about a product that revived his ability to golf. Of course, after that they got into the changes that the Oilers made this summer and which players will need to take big steps forward next season. They also talked about how he got into coaching, how his approach has changed over the years, and how often he thinks about hockey in the offseason.

The weekend may be over but the good news is that the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get your week started and to make some sense of the world around us. In today's episode, the guys looked at pickleball, movie theatres, Donda, and a whole lot more. Kicking off today's podcast, the guys jumped in with a chat about Thursday's interview with Andy Sutton and how the guys thought that that podcast deserved more love. Somehow, talking about Andy Sutton turned the conversation to Pickle Ball after Jay noticed that Glen Anderson was in Red Deer for a major tournament this past weekend. As you may have expected, just hearing the term pickleball was enough for the guys to challenge each other to a game with Jay and Chalmers hoping to even the playing field against Baggedmilk and Tyler. Changing gears, the guys got into what it would take to get them back into a movie theatre as most of the boys haven't gone to watch a movie since the pandemic started. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a look at Donda, the unreleased Kanye West album that the entire world has been waiting for, and whether or not this thing is actually going to come out.  

This week on The DFO Rundown, Frank and Jason were joined by one of the newest members of the San Jose Sharks: Andrew Cogliano. The NHL veteran talked about the early days of his career with the Edmonton Oilers, the free agent process (which he experienced for the first time), and why he decided to stay on the west coast. From there, they also talked about the idea of ‘loving the game' and how his relationship with hockey has changed since he was a fresh-faced rookie almost 15 years ago. They also talked about what's next for ‘Cogs' and what he wants to do after his playing career is done. Gregor also opened up a conversation about officiating in the game and got Cogliano's take on the way things have changed over the years and how he would like to see the games called. To wrap things up, they looked back at his time with the Dallas Stars from how sideways last year went to how much he enjoyed being in the organization.

The boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show, and this week, they're welcoming a former Edmonton Oiler, Andy Sutton, into the mix to talk about his career and what he's up to in retirement.    Kicking things off, the podcast got started with a preview of Andy Sutton's NHL career and how he was such an imposing force on the ice when he played. First up, the guys asked Andy to walk through his come up to the NHL, and if you hadn't heard the story before, it was incredible to hear how his work ethic and mindset basically carried him to hockey's top league. From the way he broke into the league to the way he put his body to the test on a nightly basis, it was fascinating to listen to Sutton tell stories from his career with so much openness and passion. After his career wrapped up, Sutton knew he wanted to stick within the hockey space and that's what drove him to get into the gear game. Driven by his passion for the sport, customer service, and product innovation, Sutton is now making major moves with Verbero hockey as he looks to transform the way we buy and market hockey equipment and apparel. Needless to say, this was a fascinating interview with an extremely interesting individual and you'll definitely want to give it a listen.

In today's episode, the guys covered Jay's trip to Nashville, and a whole lot more. Kicking off today's podcast, the guys got started with a recap of Jay's trip to Nashville and what it means for the Nation Network moving forward. From high-level meetings with a powerful mentor to the food tour he powered through and what it potentially means for citizens that will be joining us on an upcoming Nation Vacation.

It may be August, but there is still plenty of hockey news floating around.

It's been a busy week in the NHL, and it's only going to get busier! After Frank Seravalli exploded hockey Twitter with Seattle Kraken draft news on Wednesday morning, he and Jason Gregor are back with a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown. They dove into the Kraken's expansion draft right off the bat, breaking down a few picks and their overall thoughts. The most focus of the show, however, was the NHL Draft. In today's episode, they were joined by Brad Allen from the hockeyprospect.com. Brad brought a ton of information with him and gave us an excellent perspective on what this draft could become. They also spoke specifically about Chaz Lucius, Cole Sillinger, and the two top-ranked goaltenders - Sebastian Cossa and Jesper Wallstedt.

It was truly a wild weekend around the NHL with some big trades and expansion lists being released! Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli have a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown and they dug right into what they think the Seattle Kraken will do this week. They both did their own mock expansion draft and shared the results with each other live on the podcast!   The guys picked all 30 players that they think could end up with the NHL's 32nd franchise and only agreed on 11 in total. The debates were very good and on top of that, Frank had a lot of inside information and shared what he's hearing from around the league. There will be side deals and Frank shared a few that he thinks might happen.

We are now just under a week away from the NHL's expansion draft and teams are starting to make moves to put themselves in a good spot before they lose a player to the Seattle Kraken. It's really just the tip of the iceberg and there are no doubt more big moves to come, so we decided to bring NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman onto the podcast to give us the latest on what he's hearing from around the league.   Before getting to Friedman, Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli talked about the big news from the past week including the Minnesota Wild buying out Ryan Suter and Zach Parise. They also touched on the goaltending market and talked about the likelihood of some big-name American-born free agents signing in Canada.   With Friedman, they started by talking about the idea of tampering and how teams are potentially bending the rules a little ahead of free agency. They also got into which teams are facing the most pressure to improve themselves in the next week and which teams that are currently flying under the radar that could make a big splash. They also did a special edition of 'Buy or Sell' with Tyler Yaremchuk.

Welcome into a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown from The Wood Jerseys Studio! Frank and Jason started this week's podcast off by talking about some players who could potentially be traded ahead of next week's expansion draft. They also got into a pretty passionate debate about the NHL/CHL agreement that needs to be renegotiated this offseason.   Before getting to their guest of the week, Frank gave his take on Nikita Kucherov's new t-shirts that he's been rocking during the Lightning Stanley Cup celebrations.   They went on to welcome Detroit Red Wings beat reporter Kevin Allen to the pod. Kevin broke down how GM Steve Yzerman will handle the upcoming offseason. The Red Wings are certainly still rebuilding, but the focus now is on making the team better and Yzerman has a lot of cap space to make that happen. They could very well be one of the most active teams in the league over the next month and Kevin explained what moves they could be making.

This is the audio from the live show broadcasted on July 9, 2021. In this episode, Ryan talks about the end of the Stanley Cup Final and the beginning of what is sure to be a frenetic NHL off-season.

They talked about a potential Zach Parise buyout, Kirill Kaprizov's new deal, and more big items that GM Bill Guerin needs to handle this summer.   They also had a new edition of Buy or Sell with Tyler Yaremchuk where the guys were grilled on Andrei Vasilevsky, potential buyouts, the Colorado Avalanche, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Montreal Canadiens!

Welcome to another episode of The DFO Rundown with Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor! In today's episode, Frank and Jason are joined by Seattle Kraken reporter Ryan Clark from The Athletic. They dove into everything around the Kraken's expansion draft, so if you too are doing a mock draft a day, this is an episode you won't want to miss. They spoke about several different scenarios, including who Tampa Bay will lose, how Duncan Keith affects everything, and the possibility of Seattle taking pending UFA's. Before the interview begins, Frank and Jason address the tragic death of Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks. The show continued to recap Montreal's series saving win and how the NHL could change its playoff cap rule. 

Another new episode of The DFO Rundown is here to kick off your long weekend! This week Frank and Jason weren't joined by a guest and instead, went around the NHL to talk about the latest breaking stories and trade rumours. Of course, you have to start with the Stanley Cup Final, where the Habs find themselves heading home down 2-0. Gregor is definitely more down on the Canadiens than Frank, who argued that they still have a shot in this series.   From there, we had a new edition of 'Frankly Speaking' where Frank gave some strong thoughts on the Chicago Blackhawks. From there, they talked about the Duncan Keith trade rumours and then dug into some other big names that could be on the trade market. They also brought in Tyler Yaremchuk for a round of 'Buy or Sell' pres. by Jock MKT.

A new episode of The DFO Rundown is here! To start this week's episode, Jason brings in a travelling Frank Seravalli, who is on the road covering the Stanley Cup Final. Frank is starting to buy into the Canadiens hype heading into their series against Tampa Bay while Jason still believes it will be the Lightning who comes out on top. They also touched on the Jack Eichel situation and Frank dropped one team that has been increased their interest in the Sabres star forward.   They then welcomed in Katie Strang from The Athletic, who has been covering the allegations of sexual abuse against the Chicago Blackhawks. The NHL has been quiet on the topic, something that may change soon, but Katie shone some light on what really should be the biggest story in hockey and one of the biggest stories in sports.

Happy Friday! We are back with another episode of The DFO Rundown! There was some big news this week as Frank is joining Daily Faceoff full time! The podcast started with Frank and Jason talking about the big news before getting into the hockey talk. Fresh off the Habs game six victory, they touched on who's the better matchup for the Canadiens in the Cup Final. They were also joined by Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin, who recently won the Lady Byng Award!    With Jaccob, they talked about how much winning the Lady Byng award means, looked back at the season he had with the Canes, the impact of Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour, and the popular storm surge celebrations!    Also on the pod, they brought in producer Tyler Yaremchuk for a new round of Buy/Sell where they touched on the Conn Smythe award, some pending free agents (Nuge, Hall, Landeskog), Rick Tocchet, and some trade targets in Arizona!

The storylines coming out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs are neverending. From officiating to goaltending to COVID protocols, the last few days have given us plenty to talk about. Jason and Frank talked about all of that today on The DFO Rundown. On top of that, to really break down the goaltending position, they welcomed Kevin Woodley from In Goal Magazine to the Wood Jerseys Studio.   With Woodley, they talked about the Golden Knight's decision to go with Robin Lehner for game four against Montreal and if Marc-Andre Fleury will bounce back before the playoffs are over. They also dug into the way that NHL teams are changing how they handle young goaltenders before touching on the upcoming expansion draft and talked about who the Kraken could look to take. 

Frank and Jason are back with another episode of The DFO Rundown! They kicked off the podcast by talking about the number of coaching changes going on around the league and Frank gave us the latest on who could be heading where. It was fitting that after that, they welcomed Columbus Blue Jackets Head Coach Brad Larsen to the Wood Jerseys Studio! Larsen talked about finally getting a chance to be an NHL bench boss after years of working the AHL and with the Blue Jackets as an Assistant Coach. They wrapped up the interview with Brad with some Rapid Fire Questions and then to end the episode, Tyler Yaremchuk grilled Frank and Jason in a new edition of 'Buy/Sell'.

The final four is underway in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and there are plenty of storylines in both of the series. Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor talked about game one between the Lightning and Islanders before welcoming in former Golden Knight Deryk Engelland to help preview the Vegas/Montreal series!   Before Deryk joined the pod, Jason and Frank took a look at some of the big-name free agents that will be hitting the market this summer. They also touched on a few trade targets before welcoming in the former NHL defenseman! With Engelland, they talked about his unique journey to the NHL and how he managed to carve out an impressive NHL career. They also talked about what he's doing now and how he's staying involved in hockey!

Another episode of The DFO Rundown is here! Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor kicked off this week's episode by talking about the Colorado Avalanche once again being eliminated in the second round. The two kicked around the idea of big changes coming to Colorado and talked about why they couldn't get back into their series against Vegas. After that, they were joined by former NHLer and Stanley Cup Champion Brian Engblom, who now works as an analyst on Tampa Bay Lightning broadcasts. Brian talked about his Cup rings, the Lightning heading into round three, and more before playing a quick round of rapid fire!

A new episode of The DFO Rundown is here! With Jason Gregor out of the lineup for today's pod, Frank Seravalli brought in Craig Button to fill in! The duo kicked things off by talking about the Montreal Canadiens surprising dominance of the Winnipeg Jets and how Head Coach Dominic Ducharme has had an impact. From there, they went on to talk about the Vegas Golden Knights coming back to even things up with the Avalanche before getting into the other two series from a thrilling second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs!   Button gave some great insight into how the remaining teams in the playoffs are being coached and who needs to make the most adjustments to take their team to the next level. Of course, the next round is going to feature two matchups between teams that haven't played each other yet this season. Craig ranked the four divisions and talked about who could be favourites in round three.   They transitioned from there and talked a little bit about the NHL Draft. Owen Power is coming off a fantastic performance at the World Hockey Championships. Was that enough for him to be locked in as the #1 overall pick? Craig shared his take and gave us his player comparables for the young defenseman. They also talked about what the Draft looks like after that.

The NHL is churning out news and big stories seemingly non-stop right now so for today's episode of The DFO Rundown, we brought in some extra insider help! Sportsnet's Chris Johnston joined Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli to talk about the summer ahead for the Maple Leafs and what kind of changes could be coming. They also touched on the Mark Scheifele suspension and played a little Buy/Sell with some big names on the trade market!   Things are bad in Toronto and while the people in charge made it sound like some big changes might not happen, Chris thinks there's a chance that things could get wild. Who are those names? You'll have to listen in to find out.   During Buy/Sell they touched on Cale Makar, the Leafs, the Oilers, Flames, Sabres, and Seth Joens! They wrapped up with a little bit more talk about the Blue Jackets and a fresh round of Rapid Fire!

Happy Monday hockey fans! Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli are back with a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown! Today, the guys got set for tonight's big game seven between the Leafs and Habs. They also got into the game seven that we saw on Friday night between Vegas and Minnesota, and the game one stomping that followed it on Sunday. They were also joined by former NHLer and current analyst Brian Boucher who talked about the magic of Nathan MacKinnon and other big stories from around the Stanley Cup Playoffs.   Is this more of a choke job by the Maple Leafs or is this just the result of the Habs finding another level? How many games will Ryan Reaves get? Can the Canes overcome their game one loss against Tampa? Frank and Jason answered all of those questions before bringing in Boucher for some more analysis.

It's Friday and on the morning of what could be the only Game 7 in the first round of the Stanley Cup, Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor are back for another episode of The DFO Rundown! The two talked about the teams that have advanced already and were joined by Hurricanes broadcaster Tripp Tracy, who talked about the Canes OT win, the culture changed that happened over the last five years, and their matchup against the Lightning.

The first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs just continue getting more entertaining and more unpredictable. The Winnipeg Jets are in the drivers seat in their series against the Oilers, the Nashville Predators have climbed right back into their series against Carolina, and two of the last three Stanley Cup Champions have already been eliminated. Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli recapped it all today on a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown. The episode also featured an appearance from NHL Agent Allan Walsh, which starts just before the 18-minute mark. Walsh talked about his career and how he went from working murder trials in Los Angeles to being one of the top agents in the NHL. We also talked about a few of his clients and put him through a round of Rapid Fire!

Episode 30 of The DFO Rundown is here! It was a busy week for our guy Frank Seravalli, who kicked off the podcast by giving us an update on his future and where he'd like to go now that his time at TSN has come to an end. From there, they went around the NHL and dug into each of the first-round series.   The Panthers may have saved their season on Thursday night but they also might have a bit of a goaltending controversy on their hands. Speaking of goaltending controversies, there might be one brewing in Vegas and it won't just impact their playoff run. It will also make their choice at the expansion draft an interesting one. They wrapped up the playoff talk by looking at which deadline acquisition has had the biggest impact on their new club.   They moved on to talk about some of the teams out of the playoffs and which organizations could make big changes, and which ones could give their current groups another chance. Vancouver and Calgary were the focus here.   They wrapped up the episode with a little 'Buy/Sell, which focused on the playoffs, a few individual players, Nazem Kadri, and a trio of Canadian teams!

The playoffs are underway and they are not disappointing! Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor got right into things by talking about the crazy number of overtime games to start things off and the red-hot rivalry between the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning.    Off the ice, there is plenty of drama as well. Frank got into what's going on with Kuznetsov, Samsonov, and the Capitals. Is there a real chance that Kuznetsov will be traded? Frank had the answer. The big-name that will be in the rumour mill of course is Jack Eichel, but, the surgery he wants to have a hot-button issue. Could that make him untradeable? The guys debated it. They wrapped up the opening segment by talking about the Vancouver Canucks offseason and what needs to happen.   To further get into the Stanley Cup Playoffs spirit, the guys welcomed Dave Bolland into the Wood Jerseys studio! The two-time Stanley Cup Champion talked about winning it all with the Hawks, the crazy parties that come with it, and gave us his take on this year's postseason. Of course, we couldn't let him leave without running him through a quick round of 'Rapid Fire'.

Happy Friday! Of course, the final day of the work week also means there is a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown available for your listening pleasure. This week, Jason and Frank were joined by former NHL tough guy & current podcaster & engineer John Scott. The trio talked a little about life in the NHL, life after hockey, and previewed the Stanley Cup Playoffs!   Before the chat with John, Frank went off on a rant about the lack of respect that the Presidents Trophy gets. They also got into the Vegas Golden Knights salary cap situation, which four seeds could through the first round, and they each gave their predictions for the East and West divisions before getting into a new edition of Buy/Sell!   They welcomed John Scott into the WoodJersey.com Studio around the 26-minute mark and talked to the legendary enforcer about life after hockey, his fighting career, his relationship with Derek Boogard, and his favourite playoff matchups.

With all 16 playoff spots essentially locked up, we figured today was a good time to do our Ultimate Playoff Roundtable (pres. by Manscaped)! Frank and Jason were joined by Ray Ferraro and Jeff O'Neil to get set for the playoffs.   Before bringing in the big guests, they got into the recent coaching news surrounding John Tortorella and Ron Brind' Amour. Frank talked about how the new deal between Rod and the Canes has likely been done for a while, but Brind'Amour is making sure everyone around him gets paid first.   With O'Dog and Ferraro, they started by looking at the Central Division where the Hurricanes are looking like the favourites but the Lightning and Panthers are right behind them. They also touched on the likely first-round matchups in the Canadian Division. Can the Habs pull of an upset? It might come down to goaltending. Will McDavid continue his dominance in the postseason? That will likely decide the Oilers' fate.

Happy Friday! The boys are back with a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown & you will not want to miss this one. Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli start the podcast by going through everything that happened this week around the hockey world, almost all of it revolved around the New York Rangers. Then, they welcomed in Chicago Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman!   Bowman was incredibly honest about his team's rebuild and how they'll utilize their cap space to become a contender once again. He also went into his relationship with Patrick Kane and how much the two of them have been through together. He also touched on his own career before playing a little 'Rapid Fire'.

We are back with another episode of The DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor & Frank Seravalli! This week on the pod, they talked about the lack of playoff races in the NHL before chatting with Gerard Gallant, who will be going to Latvia for the World Hockey Championships to coach Team Canada.   Off the top, the guys started by going around the league and looking at the surprising lack of playoff races as we head down the stretch. Frank also touched on the Dallas Stars and their internal debate about whether or not to have their building at 100% capacity if they make the playoffs. From there, they hit on some potential playoff matchups and which teams aren't at 100% as they head into the postseason.   Then at the 18:00 minute mark, they welcomed in Gerard Gallant. They started by talking about the process behind becoming the Head Coach of Team Canada for the World Hockey Championship. From there, they hit on some NHL coaching jobs that he was close on and what could be next for him in his career. They ended by talking about the current state of the NHL and a fun edition of Rapid Fire.

Episode 24 of The DFO Rundown is here! Our boy Frank Seravalli is under the weather today so we had to make a quick call to Jamie McLennan from TSN to join Jason Gregor today on the podcast! To kick off today's episode, the guys talked about the insane amount of games that Noodles has watched this season (hint: it's a lot). On that topic, they went around the league and looked at how some of the big trade deadline acquisitions are performing with their new teams. Of course, you can't have Noodles on and not talk a little bit about goaltending. Gregor got him to touch on the likes on Philip Grubauer, Mike Smith, and Freddy Andersen. We also got Noodles to take part in this week's edition of Buy/Sell that saw us touch on Ryan Miller, Spencer Knight, Kirill Kaprizov (again), the Flyers, and Connor McDavid's pursuit of 100.

Another episode of The DFO Rundown with Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor is here! This week's episode features a great chat with former NHLer and current Bruins analyst Bob Beers, who talked about the Bruins recent play, his own career in the NHL, and having one of the best names in hockey history! Before the chat with Bob, Frank and Jason got into Sidney Crosby once again hitting up a point per game, some potential changes to the length of the season, playoff matchups, and more!   How long can Crosby keep up an elite level? That was the first question we tackled this week on the pod. That led into a conversation about Patrick Marleau's games played record and how impressive it really is. There is also some talk that the NHL might expand the regular season to 84 games and that led the guys to a debate about if the league should consider changing up the playoff seeding system. They wrapped up the opening segment by looking at 'Kirill the Thrill' and the surging Minnesota Wild.

Another Friday is here and that means we have a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown! This week on the podcast, Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli kicked things off by going around the NHL and talking about the current cross-checking issue, the juggernaut East Division, and the impact of home-ice advantage will be. They were also joined by Columbus Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen.   It's been a tough season for the Columbus Blue Jackets and last night goaltender Elvis MErzlikins spoke out about just how bad things have gotten. We started there with the NHL's first-ever European GM who talked about his teams struggles and the mental toll it has taken on the entire group. From there, they touched on Head Coach John Tortorella.

It's a new week and that means a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown is here. To start things off, Jason welcomed Frank back to the pod after his brief vacation and you can tell just by looking at him, that he got some sun. From there, they got into the Canucks win over the Maple Leafs in their return to action, the new-look Boston Bruins, and Patrick Marleau getting set to break the NHL's all-time games played record.   They then welcomed former Humboldt Broncos Assistant Coach Chris Beaudry to the podcast. Chris discussed his journey over the last couple of years, his mental health battles, how he copes, and how he's staying connected to hockey. He was very open with us and talked about some of his darkest, most difficult moments and how he's found a better place.
