It's been a wild week in the NHL in the lead-up to the NHL Draft, and the Seattle Kraken played a part in it, trading for Mackie Samoskevich and re-signing prized forward Bobby McMann, who was set to become a free agent. The guys give their reactions to those deals, plus the massive trades made around the league. Also, lots of crow talk, colonoscopy talk, and segments that include Weekly One-Timers and What's Good?SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!
There are ways to get back in shape and ways to not get back in shape…. Whoah! Talk about an NBA blockbuster! The Bucks traded Giannis (finally) to Miami and this deal is a whopper. Giannis and Bobby Portis head to Miami in exchange for Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr and two other players along with draft picks, including the 13th pick in tonight's draft. :30- ICYMI: Jason Boterill The Kraken GM joined the show yesterday to talk about the moves the team made on Sunday and look ahead to the draft on Friday. :45- The Mariners are in Pittsburgh to face the Pirates starting tonight and with the way the Mariners are playing and the injuries, this series is no walk in the park. The Pirates have a top 5 offense… let that sink in. The good news is that we won't have to face Paul Skenes and they don't have any left-handed starting pitchers.

Headlines and the Draftathalon! The first of 3 drafts is tonight- the NBA Draft is tonight and it sure seems like the 1st few picks are up in the air. While we know who the players are, how the chips may fall is a mystery. :30- ABC's of the Mariners - P is for Pittsburgh Pirates: the team is in Pittsburgh starting today and that means Cole Young is returning home. - Q is for Queasy- we haven't gotten an update on Dom Canzone and his hamstring - R is for Rob Refsnyder- how long are the Mariners going to give these guys that were supposed to crush lefties? :45- The NHL Draft is on Friday- could the Kraken be shopping Shane Wright beforehand? There was so much promise and so many expectations surrounding Wright, so what happened? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Florida Panthers made a splash on Sunday by trading for Brady Tkachuk. Host Gavin Spittle starts with Florida trading Mackie Samoskevich to the Seattle Kraken for a first-round pick, and a 2027 second-round pick. Gavin says the Panthers got a great return on the trade and then flipped that pick for Brady Tkachuk. He looks at the projected lines for the Florida Panthers and they are absolutely loaded. On top of both Tkachuk's, Alexander Barkov is coming back. David Pagnotta reported that the Ottawa Senators are trying to make a play for Jason Robertson. Gavin asks if this speeds up Jim Nill's timeline to sign Robertson to a deal.
Lane Lambert, Seattle Kraken Head Coach, joins Dave Softy Mahler and Dick Fain to talk about the team’s trade to acquire forward Mackie Samoskevich in a trade with the Panthers, the team re-signing forward Bobby McCann to a new six-year deal after the trade with Toronto, what they need next, plus the NHL Draft coming up later this week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode couldn't wait till morning... The NHL offseason just delivered its biggest shocker yet.Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek break down the blockbuster trade that sends Brady Tkachuk from the Ottawa Senators to the Florida Panthers. Why did Ottawa make the move? What comes next for Steve Staios and the Senators? And does adding Brady alongside Matthew Tkachuk instantly make Florida the team to beat in the Eastern Conference?The guys discuss the assets Ottawa received, whether more moves are coming, and why this trade may only be the first step in a much larger offseason plan for the Senators.They also examine Seattle's acquisition of Mackie Samoskevich, the Edmonton Oilers signing Jason Dickinson to a long-term extension, and what Mike Babcock's arrival could mean for Edmonton heading into a crucial season.Later, Alex Tuch's free-agent future takes center stage. Which teams make the most sense for one of the top names on the market? Could Utah, Los Angeles, or another Western Conference contender land the veteran winger?Plus, Buy or Sell returns with discussions on NHL rebuilds, Elvis Merzlikins' future in Columbus, Gavin McKenna's rookie point projections, and much more.The show wraps with a look ahead to the Hockey Hall of Fame announcement, including discussions surrounding Carey Price, Patrice Bergeron, Henrik Zetterberg, Curtis Joseph, Rod Brind'Amour, and other notable candidates.
RYON HEALY (Mariners TV) How important is Dom Canzone to this team right now? Why can't this team hit lefties? Seriously! How much longer do you keep trying with this lineup? Cal isn't getting the results since coming off the IL, but is Ryon seeing a difference in approach since his return? :30- JASON BOTERILL (Seattle Kraken GM) INTERVIEW ATTACHED Was re-signing Bobby McMann their number one priority? What about the trade for Mackie Samoskevich? How does he see all these pieces coming together and are they looking to make any more moves? Could they be trading away any more draft picks ahead of Friday's draft? :45- We wrap up a busy Monday show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
EVERETT FITZHUGH (Kraken Audio Network PxP) The Kraken added Mackie Samoskevich in a trade with the Panthers yesterday, so what are we getting in the young forward? The trade wasn't the only move made by the Kraken yesterday- they also signed Bobby McMann to a 6-year deal; what are the realistic expectations for McMann moving forward? Does Everett expect more moves to be made? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - M is for Minnesota- hey Byron Buxton, wanna come here and play? - N is for Naylor- the defense at 1st base looks sloppy… - O is for Odd- why is Cal Raleigh still struggling? :45- Boye Mafe left the Seahawks in free agency, while Derick Hall re-signed with the Hawks for much less. Did the Seahawks keep the right guy? Rob rang sure thinks so! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- Perfect weather, a Mariners win and an exciting US Open finish- all the makings for a perfect Father's Day. Wyndham Clark held on to win the US Open and even though he led from wire to wire, it wasn't a walk in the park for the two-time champ. :30- Mariners Morning After Logan Gilbert delivered on Father's Day, giving up just 1 run on 3 hits in 6+ innings of work. Dom Canzone was the big story of the game- he gave the M's 2 of their 3 runs, but also pulled a hammy and now everyone waits to find out how much time he will miss. :45- The Kraken made some moves yesterday! Bobby McMann is back! The Kraken signed him to a 6-year deal worth $34.5 million, but that's not all, they also made a trade with Florida for Mackie Samoskevich. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Seahawks One Series with WALTER JONES (Seahawks/KING 5) We have to check in with the best to ever do it and get his thoughts on Charles Cross and the tall task the young offensive lineman has in front of him. Considering what the Rams have added this offseason, did Cross' job get more difficult and is he up for the challenge? How much better were Walt and Hutch in their second year together and how much better will Zabel and Cross be together this year? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - A is for Anderson- enough with the 6-man rotation, let's go to a 7-man rotation… Kade Anderson is too good! - B is for Bad Luck- that's what Julio is hitting into right now. - C is for Chapmans- Matt Chapman is available in a trade according to the Giants… Aroldis seems to be available as well… :45- It's Trade Season! MLB, NBA and NHL could all be making moves! There is a way the Mariners could make a trade for Matt Chapman work without increasing the payroll… We are expecting a very active offseason for the Kraken, so when will it start? Where will Giannis be playing next season? There are a lot of candidates, but apparently nothing Is blowing the Bucks away. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Headlines and some continued Mariners talk. We saw some ugly baseball on this road trip, but how much blame can be placed on the team dealing with injuries and can they right the ship this week? Seattle will be hosting it's first World Cup match at noon today and team USA surprised a lot of people with their 4-1 win over Paraguay. :30- On Friday, Bryan Walters joined the show for the one series and gave us his thoughts on Rashid Shaheed. What will he have to do to be worth the $17 million the Seahawks are paying him? :45- The Carolina Hurricanes won their 2nd Stanley Cup last night and they're a team built by Ron Francis, just like the Kraken. Can the Kraken complete the process and find the success the Hurricanes have? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Quick recapThe Two Grumpy Bastards podcast returned after a break, with Koop and Russ discussing several major topics including the Henry Nowak murder case in Britain, where a Sikh immigrant stabbed a white man to death and was initially treated as a victim rather than a perpetrator by police, highlighting concerns about racial bias and immigration policies. They analyzed California's primary elections, noting that Republican Steve Hilton was leading in the governor's race against Democrat Xavier Becerra, representing a rare opportunity for Republicans in traditionally blue California. The conversation also covered the upcoming midterm elections, with Russ predicting a potential "reverse 2022" where Republicans might gain seats in the Senate and House despite expectations of a "blue wave." The podcast concluded with discussion of local issues including Spencer Pratt's surprising mayoral campaign in Los Angeles and concerns about homelessness and public safety in both California cities and their own communities.SummaryTrans Advocacy Online EngagementRuss and Koop discussed engaging with trans advocates online, specifically on Daily Wire's website where they encountered trolls defending a story about Oregon taking a child from a woman who wouldn't affirm the child's trans identity. Russ mentioned responding to these comments with a nuanced argument about state power abuse rather than using a sledgehammer approach. The conversation ended with Koop adjusting his camera settings.Sports Discussion and Health UpdateKoop discussed his recent illness, describing how severe it was and mentioning that he believes his medication dose was increased or he had a virus. The conversation then shifted to sports, with both participants discussing the Stanley Cup Finals between Vegas and the team Russ's team plays against, as well as the Seattle Kraken's poor performance season. They also discussed NFL teams, particularly the Rams' draft decisions and coaching styles in the NFC West, with specific criticism of Sean McVay's reaction to the draft choice.Discussion on Political and Personal InteractionsRuss and Koop discussed their interactions with Gareth, who had been criticizing Russ's military service. They shared personal anecdotes about Gareth's background and discussed how Gareth and others had responded to political discussions online. Koop also mentioned having a lengthy conversation with someone named Donya about family and personal beliefs, including information about Donya's children identifying as transgender. The conversation then shifted to Koop sharing details about his high school and college bands.Podcast Discussion on Political ViewsKoop and Russ began their podcast discussing their planned topics, including the Henry Nowak issue and California elections. They shared personal anecdotes about childhood TV shows and discussed their tans from recent vacations. Koop expressed his shift in political views, claiming that progressive values have moved from being "wrong" to "full-on evil," and mentioned his intention to discuss a recent horrific event in Britain involving the murder of Henry Nowak by an Indian Sikh.Murder Response and Racial HierarchiesRuss described the murder of Henry Nowak by Vikram Digwa in London, highlighting how police initially dismissed Nowak's claims of being stabbed and instead accepted Digwa's assertion that he was a victim of a racial attack. The incident has sparked protests in Southampton and political reactions, with the Reform Party criticizing immigration policies while Labour and Keir Starmer have defended the response and criticized the public reaction. Russ noted the double standard in how authorities responded to this incident compared to the George Floyd case, suggesting it reflects a new racial hierarchy in Britain where laws may apply differently based on skin color.Discussion on Race and HistoryKoop and Russ discussed a recent case in Texas where a young black man stabbed and killed a white student, with Koop expressing outrage that funds were raised for the perpetrator's defense. They compared this to the Henry Nowak case, where Koop described the violent nature of the attack as deliberate murder. The conversation then shifted to discussing British Prime Minister Starmer and historical British leadership, before transitioning to a discussion about the British Empire's role in ending slavery through naval patrols and its broader positive impact on civilization. Russ emphasized that Western freedoms, including free speech and self-defense rights, originated from British common law and traditions.Islamic Civilization and Western ProgressRuss and Koop discussed the historical advancement of Islamic civilizations from the 8th to 14th centuries before they fell into fundamentalism, which hindered further progress. They attributed the West's advancement to factors such as the Catholic Church's role in promoting science and outlawing cousin marriage, which helped increase genetic diversity. The conversation also touched on the complex geopolitical realities in Iran, highlighting how the overthrow of the Shah led to a more restrictive fundamentalist regime under Ayatollah Khomeini.Iran Treaty and Cultural DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed their frustration with Trump's handling of the Iran treaty and shared their views on strong British protests captured in recent footage. They also talked about cultural differences between Americans and Brits, respect for people living under constant stress, and upcoming movies about World War II. Koop shared his updated genetic ancestry results, revealing he is largely Lithuanian with a mix of German, Viking, Scottish, Russian, and other backgrounds.LA Mayor Election DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed political races, focusing primarily on the LA mayor's election where Spencer Pratt was leading with 29.9% of the vote against Karen Bass's 35.0%, with 38% of votes still outstanding. They debated whether Pratt could win against Bass in a runoff, comparing him to Tim Walz rather than Kamala Harris. The conversation also touched on the California governor's race but did not reach concrete conclusions about those results.California Gubernatorial Election AnalysisRuss and Koop discussed the California gubernatorial election, where Steve Hilton, a British transplant, is leading with 27.6% of the vote against Xavier Becerra. They analyzed the jungle primary system and its impact on Republican candidates, noting that no Republican has been competitive in California gubernatorial races for almost 20 years. The conversation touched on various candidates' performances and ended with a discussion about the disappointing 2022 midterm results for Republicans, which did not produce the anticipated "red wave."Midterm Elections Analysis DiscussionRuss and Koop discussed the recent midterm elections, noting that despite Republicans taking back the house by a narrow margin, poor candidate selection by Democrats in key races prevented them from achieving greater gains. They agreed that a predicted "blue wave" in 2024 is unlikely due to extreme candidates on both sides driving voters toward the middle. Russ predicted Republicans would gain 2-3 House seats and potentially one Senate seat in 2026, reversing the 2022 results.Fetterman's Political Future DiscussionRuss and Koop discussed John Fetterman's political future, with Russ predicting Fetterman would lose his primary election rather than switch parties, which could potentially open up a Republican seat in Pennsylvania in 2028. They also shared a humorous Babylon Bee video satire about progressive policies, noting that the best satire contains elements of truth.Koop and Russ Discussion MeetingKoop and Russ discussed various topics including farming intelligence, the upcoming World Cup, and local political issues. They shared perspectives on Seattle's decline and criticized current political leaders. The conversation concluded with plans to update merchandise designs, particularly for hats, on their website TwoGrumpyBastardsMerchandise.com.Thank you for listening and subscribing and liking the hell out of us!Politics.

Episode 354 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features San Jose Sharks first round draft pick Joshua Ravensbergen. In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Ravensbergen talks about his path and lessons from not being drafted into the WHL to being a first round pick in the NHL, and about wrapping up his time with the Prince George Cougars by winning the WHL goalie of the year award, and now heading to Michigan State to play NCAA hockey next season.

As you may know, the Sound Of Hockey recently started putting podcast episodes on YouTube. That led to a little screw up on this episode, in which the guys talked for 13 minutes before realizing they weren't recording, then had to start over, which puts things in a funny state to start this show. But...The guys are also in a negative mood after the NHL Draft Lottery, which leads to lots of talk about the future of the Seattle Kraken. Plus, a massive listener MAILBAG. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

RUNDOWN Mitch and Scott bounce from absurd internet rabbit holes to surprisingly emotional territory, riffing on viral "energize your butthole" content before landing on AI-generated nostalgia videos that hit harder than expected. The segment blends humor with genuine reflection, as they react to how eerily real—and moving—these digital reunions of past and present selves have become. Mitch pushes back on the growing pile-on against Mariners manager Dan Wilson, arguing the outrage is wildly disproportionate to his actual impact. While acknowledging questionable in-game decisions, the real issue is clear: Seattle's top hitters aren't producing—and fans would rather scapegoat the manager than blame the stars they love. The Mariners show real offensive signs in a series win over Texas, highlighted by better at-bats, key contributions from role players, and a confidence-boosting early homer from Rob Refsnyder. The crew also dives into Julio Rodríguez's slow-burn start, Luke Raley's hot streak, and the critical importance of Andrés Muñoz stabilizing the bullpen as Seattle tries to grind out close games. Danny and Mitch break down the backlash from CBS's shaky Masters broadcast and the rare cross-network shots taken by NBC's Kevin Kisner. The conversation pivots into a deeper, more uncomfortable space—media ethics—using the Diana Russini–Mike Vrabel situation to expose the blurry lines between access, relationships, and credibility in modern sports journalism.
