Wednesday Nov 02, 2022
DAVE'S BACK. And he's decided to choose violence again for the umpteenth time! The crew looks into how things are going into the season so far with a look into the top and bottom 5 teams over the last month, makes fun of Arizona but also at the same time, looks into how much of a good time it is in Mullet Arena at ASU, gives another take on the current landscape of hockey in Canada right now and much much more! While it's no secret that we're fans of of the LeafDem and the Oilers, We actually dive into how the Canucks (shudder) are doing with their recent stroke of luck. Finally, we check in on the Leafs as they return home from a nightmare of a West Coast road trip,
All that and more violence as we grace the space in between your head top. Let's go.

EP 22 - PRESEASON MOVEMENTS PT. 1
Wednesday Oct 05, 2022
Wednesday Oct 05, 2022
Avry takes the reins on todays episode, ever so slightly channeling the out-of-pocketness that Dave provides as he is a healthy scratch this time around. The preseason vibes are going strong, so the squad talks about how the #LEAFDEM are doing thus far in what is a REAAALLY LONG time before the hockey season begins. Then surprise surprise we gotta mention the wild ride that is John Tortorella coaching once again. How long do you think he's going to last?
What would the preseason be without us feeding into the rumour mill discourse of the NHL? You'll hear some interesting takes on this one, let us know what you think is going to happen before the first game of the season! Last but certainly not least we go around the metaphorical table to discuss which teams we think are going to take a step forward as we kick off the hockey year and who will take a step back.

Wednesday Sep 28, 2022
Wednesday Sep 28, 2022
WE'RE BACK AND IT FINALLY FEELS GOOD TO BE HERE.
The revolution of hockey begins as we finally take back to the airwaves. Changing lives, telling the powerful stories, all in the name of hockey and Blackness. We start with Dave and Avry breaking down their synopsis of BLACK ICE, a Black Canadian hockey documentary that focuses on telling the origins of Black hockey with the Coloured Hockey League, as well as the current generation of Black athletes playing this beautiful game.
And then BOOM, we have an interview with Hockey Night in Canada's DAVID AMBER, Black Hockey Man of Mystery himself. He comes through on the show and lets us know about his time within the annals of sporting media, and of course, lets us know where to get a good lineup while traveling for SN and HNIC. It's a good listen still.
WE BACK FOLKS. AND WE BACK FOR GOOD. #LeafDem #SZNIII

Dave get's called out for his opp behaviour though, and it's about damn time but that's not why we're here. It's crunch time as we gear up to the Stanley Cup Playoffs in just 2 short months.
We also discuss Team Canada's performance in Beijing on the men's and women's side as well. It's bare action in this place. Let's go.
