In this week’s episode, we’ll warm your hearts with the tale of Teddy Blueger’s mom, Jana, who not only made a memorable journey from Latvia for a family reunion but also took home a staggering 50/50 jackpot of $105,853 at her first NHL game!
We'll discuss the heart-stopping moments on the ice, from Michael McCarron’s unfortunate injury at the hands of Lian Bischel's skate to the fierce protective instincts shown by the San Jose Sharks in defense of rising star Macklin Celebrini. Connor Hellebuyck made history as the fastest U.S. born goaltender to achieve 20 wins in just 26 starts, shattering records held for nearly a century.
It’s not all smooth skating, as we bid farewell to veteran Kevin Shattenkirk, who has officially hung up his skates after an inspiring 15-season career. We’ll also dive into some intriguing trades, including the recent moves of Oliver Wahlstrom and Kaapo Kakko that are shaking up the league’s balance.
On the lighter side, we’ll talk about the unorthodox exploits of Ottawa’s EBUG Zach Dietz, who sprinted through the snow to make it to the rink in time. Plus, we’ll touch on cultural hockey moments, such as Charles Barkley’s support of local teams and a peculiar yearly tradition in Iceland known as Jolabokaflod.
