Ep 18Episode 51: The Alex Ovechkin Of The 2nd Unit
Arik Parnass makes his return to the show to discuss the recent Hockey Analytics Conference held in Ottawa (which he attended in person), and how the tracking companies cropping up these days will eventually change the way we analyze the game. We also chat about his recent work breaking down power plays around the league. What makes the best ones ticks, and what are the best future indicators we can look for in the data?

Ep 17Episode 50: Ranking All 30 Local Broadcast Teams
Much like we did when we ranked all 30 teams based on their "watchability" earlier in the season, we put together a subjective list of the best and worst local broadcasts out there. Points were given for creativity, enthusiasm, and the ability to provide us as viewers with interesting nuggets of information which we otherwise wouldn't be privy to. We ultimately didn't dock points for being a homer, unless constantly wearing rose-coloured glasses interferes with your ability to point out obvious faults with the team you're covering. We count them down, from worst to first. Every episode of this podcast is available on iTunes, Soundcloud, and can also be streamed from our website.

Ep 16Episode 49: An Unquenchable Bloodlust
After having had a few days to process the career milestone that Alex Ovechkin reached over the weekend, we spin it forward by looking at his career as a goal scorer in the macro sense. By the time he's done how high up the all-time list will he have climbed, and will he have a legitimate case for being considered the best to ever do it when adjusting for different eras? We also discuss the curious decision by the Vancouver Canucks to publicly announce that they're looking to trade Chris Higgins, the interesting 48 hours the Florida Panthers just had, and why retaliatory hits need to stop being a thing. Plus, as promised last week we adopt the Boston Bruins. Every episode of this podcast is available on iTunes, Soundcloud, and can also be streamed from our website.

Ep 15Episode 48: The Right to a Fair Trial
We discuss the leap of faith the Blue Jackets are taking with Seth Jones, whether the Predators got the best deal they possibly could've, how we're cheering for Vinny Lecavalier to end the season on a personal tear and why the Flyers have the best fanbase on the internet. There's also a brief 'Making A Murderer' discussion towards the end of the show, though don't worry if you haven't gotten into the show yet because there aren't necessarily any spoilers involved.

Ep 14Episode 47: A Good Ol' Fashioned Trade
Chris Johnston joins the show to help break down the surprising movement we see across the NHL this week. We discuss: Was another trade out there that the Predators passed up to pull the trigger on this one? How likely Seth Jones is to become the player the Blue Jackets now need him to be? Why did the Los Angeles Kings feel the need to make a desperation play on Vinny Lecavalier, and what happens should he go back on his word about retiring? Are we ready to live in a world where the Flyers are making prudent moves with the future in mind?

Ep 13Episode 46: Mr.600
James Mirtle joins the show to weigh in on the job Mike Babcock has done with the Maple Leafs thus far, and whether it's more surprising that he's never won a Jack Adams Trophy in his career or that he's in the discussion this year. We also chat about Mirtle's story that got the ball rolling on Stamkos potentially leaving Tampa Bay, how fun the World Juniors were to watch, and what it was like to see Jarome Iginla in person as he was coming up with the Kamloops Blazers.

Ep 12Episode 45: Get Out While You Still Can
We discuss the recent Jonathan Drouin trade request, and where the Tampa Bay Lightning go from here with him. We also use that as a gateway for going over other trade rumours such as the best potential landing spots for Dustin Byfuglien, and whether the Nashville Predators should get out from under the Shea Weber contract while they still can.

Ep 11Episode 44: Ageless Wonder Cats
We adopt the Florida Panthers, whose stars are either incredibly young or are defying age by remaining productive will into in their mid-30s and 40s. They're on a nice run right now that has them sitting atop the Atlantic Division, but will they be able to keep it up as the year goes along?

Ep 10Episode 43: Singing The Blues
Craig Custance, who was a Friend Of The Podcast well before it was cool to be one, makes his triumphant return to the show. We adopt the St.Louis Blues, who are approaching a fascinating crossroads with regards to balancing making a run this season while keeping an eye on the future financially. We also discuss the compelling case Cory Schneider is making to be be Team USA's number one goal at the World Cup, whether Braden Holtby could conceivably sneak into the Hart Trophy debate, and the general glut of high-end talent between the pipes at the NHL level these days.

Ep 9Episode 42: The Midseason Awards
With the NHL in the midst of its Christmas break, we decided to use this newfound free time to go through our awards ballot (roughly) midway through the 2015-16 schedule. Can 'The Stars Guys' combine for one vote in the Hart Trophy race? Can anyone even make a legitimate case for stealing the awards that Erik Karlsson and Patrice Bergeron respectively won last year? And if you're a coach, do you even want to win the Jack Adams at this point? Every episode of this podcast is available on iTunes, Soundcloud, and can also be streamed from our website.

Ep 8Episode 41: The Sochi Model
Jeff Marek stops by to show off his hosting chops and preview the upcoming World Junior Championship tournament. We look into Canada's goaltending pipeline, the young squad they're sending this year, and the novel idea of bringing the best players you have at your disposal. We also discuss who their biggest competition will be this year, and some notable names to keep an eye out for. For people that aren't overly interested in the tournament itself, there's a healthy dose of NHL-centric talk towards the end of the show.

Ep 7Episode 40: When The Stars Align
Friend of The Podcast Mike Johnson joins the show to gush about the Dallas Stars after having just called one of their games for the first time this season. We also discuss whether the perceived 'East Coast bias' is a real thing, where Drew Doughty stacks up in the Norris discussion, and the psychology of what's going through a player's head when there's a coaching change.

Ep 6Episode 39: The Blue Jackets Gets Yosted
We set our sights on the situation unfolding in Columbus in which John Tortorella has, to the surprise of absolutely no one, healthy scratched his best player in a misguided attempt to try and prove a point. We also discuss whether there's been any tangible difference in their level of play since the Blue Jackets made the coaching change, and wonder much of the blame Jarmo Kekäläinen should be taking for not only the hire itself but the seemingly inevitable cap hell they're about to find themselves in.

Ep 5Episode 38: We Haven't Had The Fun Coached Out Of Us
Jen Lute Costella joins the show to discuss the tracking project she presented at the RIT Hockey Analytics Conference earlier in the season, and the main takeaways she gleaned from it about how different player types work together. We also look into how Artemi Panarin and his creativity have been a breath of fresh air for the league, and how the Chicago Blackhawks stack up against some of the other Central Division powerhouses.

Ep 4Episode 37: The Kings Are Reclaiming Their Throne
We adopt the Los Angeles Kings, who are not only quickly distancing themselves from everyone else in the Pacific division but doing so by controlling 5-on-5 play at a historic rate. We also discuss the recent trade between the Blackhawks and Penguins, how no GM is immune from making bad decisions, and whether the Jets should aim to keep Dustin Byfuglien or Andrew Ladd (or potentially both).

Ep 3Episode 36: It's Time To Bolt
Jonathan Willis takes some time from his frenetic writing schedule to discuss Taylor Hall's ascension towards becoming one of the league's most dominant wingers, and what Edmonton's most optimal forward deployment will look like once they're fully healthy up front. We also look into how the blame for the struggles in Pittsburgh this season should be divvied up, and the precarious position the Lightning they find themselves in with Steven Stamkos' impending free agency.

Ep 2Episode 35: The Analytics Don't Say Anything
In this episode of the podcast we eventually get around to adopting both the Coyotes and Capitals as promised. But before we get there, we take some time to discuss Alex Semin's departure from the NHL and how his brief stint in Montreal is hardly an indictment against analytics. There's a meaty conversation about roster construction, taking calculated risks, and how easy it should be to incorporate underlying metrics into your analysis in there too.

Ep 1Episode 34: Spitting Hot Fire
Kent Wilson stops by to discuss how and why the Calgary Flames have fallen back down to earth this season after last year's playoff run. Beyond just their expected rudimentary possession struggles, we take a deeper look at a few other other factors doing them in including goaltending, and a highly questionable transition game out of their own zone.

Episode 33: The NHL's Expansion Plan
We look at the NHL's reignited plans for expansion from as many angles as possible based on the information we currently have. How will the draft itself differ from the one held all the way back in 2000, which types of rules can be put into place to even the playing field for the new organizations, and will the looming possibility of this actually coming to pass influence how teams approach this coming summer?
