Here's a good rundown of the methodology that guides the list: “If you’re sitting down on a random Thursday night and there’s a plethora of games to choose from, which teams are you prioritizing seeing (all other things being equal, putting rooting allegiances aside)? Talent is obviously king, but style and likelihood of engaging in a back-and-forth, fast-paced affair are just as important. It’s important to remember that sometimes being a very successful hockey team in terms of wins and losses and your place in these rankings can be inversely related.” Sponsoring today’s show is SeatGeek, which is making it easier than ever before to buy and sell sports and concert tickets.

Craig Custance joins the show to help put together the annual Watchability Rankings, where we stack every team in the NHL from 31 all the way down to 1 based on the entertainment value they figure to provide viewers with this season. As has been the case in years past, the following is a good synopsis of how we approached the task, and what it's ultimately trying to capture: “If you’re sitting down on a random Thursday night and there’s a plethora of games to choose from, which teams are you prioritizing seeing (all other things being equal, putting rooting allegiances aside)? Talent is obviously king, but style and likelihood of engaging in a back-and-forth, fast-paced affair are just as important. It's important to remember that sometimes being a very successful hockey team in terms of wins and losses and your place in these rankings can be inversely related.” Sponsoring today’s show is SeatGeek, which is making it easier than ever before to buy and sell sports and concert tickets.

Chris Johnston joins the show on the eve of the NHL trade deadline to discuss how he vets his sources, the process that going into publicly relaying news, and finding a balance between providing opinionated analysis and strictly reporting facts. We also discuss how it made sense for the Rangers to go all-in with the Eric Staal trade, and whether the Ducks will feel the need to keep pace with the moves the Blackhawks have recently made. 0:00 – 1:45 – Intro 01:45 – 8:30 – Working for Sportsnet / Hockey Reporting 8:30 – 14:40 -Reporting Facts vs. Opinion-Based Analysis 14:40 – 19:40 – Rangers Acquire Staal / Trading Picks and going for it 19:40 – 21:45 – Artemi Parnarin / Winning Attracts Good Players 22:45 – 29:00 – Anaheim Ducks 29:00 – 31:20 – Dallas Stars 31:20 – 36;50 – Reimer / Complicated Trades 36:50 – 41:40 – Trades ahead of the deadline / Surprising Trades 41:40 – 42:35 – Outro *Every episode of this podcast is available on iTunes, Soundcloud, and can also be streamed from our website.

Having been blessed with a pair of admittedly less significant, yet still relevant trades to dissect, we take full advantage. In doing so we discuss the bizarrely marginal upgrade by the Sharks given their situation, the Leafs prudent strategy of stockpiling draft picks, and the Canucks lack of foresight. Plus, spinning it forward we look ahead to Monday's deadline with some speculation about popular names that have been bandied about in trade rumours recently. *Every episode of this podcast is available on iTunes, Soundcloud, and can also be streamed from our website.

Feb 19, 2016
A day after PK Subban soaked up all of the blame for a Canadiens loss simply because he tried to do what they pay him for, we ask the following questions: Why are people in various levels of hockey, whether it's fans, analysts, or coaches, still so conservative and risk averse? Why does the best player always get singled out as the one whose play needs to be questioned first when things go wrong for the team? Why is there still such a giant divide between perception and reality when it comes to what the defense position entails in 2016? *Every episode of this podcast is available on iTunes, Soundcloud, and can also be streamed from our website.

Feb 18, 2016
We had Mike Johnson back on the show to discuss the trade deadline from the angles of why teams can't have their cake and eat it too by trading away rental players they expect to re-sign, whether the Hurricanes need to be especially cold and calculating by cutting the cord with Eric Staal, and if the Ducks need to swing for the fences while they still can. We also chat about how extended shooting slumps are perpetuated, and if a goalie's stature can affect the way a shooter approaches attacking him. *Every episode of this podcast is available on iTunes, Soundcloud, and can also be streamed from our website.

Much like we did last week when we asked '20 Questions' about the Western Conference, we similarly move around the East in an attempt to gain more clarity about what the landscape looks like at this moment in time. "Will the Capitals rest their players during the stretch run?", "should the Hurricanes be full-blown sellers at the deadline?", "what's been the main difference for the Penguins under Mike Sullivan?", and "why does Michel Therrien have undying love for David Desharnais?" are examples of things we get around to answering. *Every episode of this podcast is available on iTunes, Soundcloud, and can also be streamed from our website.

Feb 16, 2016
We had Eric Young join the show to make his belated case for why he should've been part of the All Star Weekend festivities in his hometown of Nashville, being a Predators fan over the years, and their outlook this season. We also discuss Rick Westhead's story about former NHLers like Mike Peluso and Dan Lacouture, and how the various concussions they suffered are having a frightening long-term impact on their lives. Being a veteran of an industry which has similar concussion issues, he provides a unique perspective on how he's handled an exceedingly high number of head injuries himself, and whether the wrestling world has improved its protocol over the years. His particular stance may not necessarily be a popular one or something you agree with, but it's important to hear both sides and get everything out on the table if we wish to further the conversation in a meaningful way moving forward.

We go around the league answering a series of self-imposed questions such as "what's wrong with the Wild?", "can the Blues finally exorcise some of their past playoff demons?", and "what are a couple of under the radar moves at the trade deadline that could make a big difference?"

Jamie McLennan makes his triumphant return to the show to discuss his preliminary Vezina trophy ballot, Petr Mrazek's ascension to being one of the league's best goaltenders, and how guys like Corey Crawford and Marc-Andre Fleury are in a lose-lose situation. He also shares a personal Miikka Kiprusoff story about having to deal with stopping Steven Stamkos' shots, what kind of preparation he puts into the games he's doing colour commentary for, and whether he's ever almost slipped up on national TV.

Feb 10, 2016
We discuss the NHL's laundry list of unconscionable missteps this year, which has most recently been capped off by a horribly executed in-season adjustment to the GameCentre Live viewing experience. We also sink our teeth into the 9-player trade between the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs, and break down the Dustin Byfuglien extension with the Jets.

Feb 9, 2016
Chris Johnston joins the show to discuss the bizarre situation that resulted in Dennis Wideman's 20-game suspension, and how it raises bigger questions about the faulty concussion protocol the league currently has in place. We also look into Sidney Crosby's resurgence since a slow start to the year, whether Connor McDavid could (and should) make a comeback to win the Calder Trophy, and if the loser point will cause a gridlock on trade deadline day.

Jan 27, 2016
It may've taken us a handful of weeks and countless false alarms, but we've finally gotten around to adopting the New York Islanders. In doing so we discuss the lofty expectations we had for them after last season, how they stack up against the Metro Division's best, John Tavares and Kyle Okposo not playing together as much as they used to, and whether those black 3rd jerseys are good or not.

Jeff Marek and Todd Warriner both hop on the podcast to record not only the first ever in-studio episode in the show's history, but also the first one featuring three people too.

Jan 22, 2016
We discuss the latest developments in the Jonathan Drouin trade saga with the Lightning, and how it impacts things for both parties moving forward. We also look at the difference in approach between the Anaheim Ducks and Montreal Canadiens in the face of a shooting percentage swoon. While one has actively changed their style of play on the fly to try and counteract it, the other has been sitting on its hands waiting for things to magically change on a dime. Most importantly: when will Colin Campbell learn not to send incriminating emails? Every episode of this podcast is available on iTunes, Soundcloud, and can also be streamed from our website.

Jan 21, 2016
Frank Seravalli joins the show to help unpack a thoroughly entertaining Flyers season, but for wildly different reasons than the ones we've become accustomed to in years past. We discuss how they've gone in a completely different direction building their team, whether we can finally buy in to Steve Mason, how fun Shayne Gostisbehere is to watch, and whether they'll be able to help themselves once they finally have money to spend again.

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.

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.

Jan 13, 2016
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.

Jan 8, 2016
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.

Jan 8, 2016
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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

Dec 24, 2015
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.

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.

Dec 22, 2015
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.

Dec 18, 2015
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.

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.

Dec 16, 2015
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).

Dec 15, 2015
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.

Dec 12, 2015
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.

Dec 11, 2015
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.

Dec 9, 2015
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?
