À propos de cet audio

 Hocky Booth is your all-access pass to the rink, the locker room, and the minds of the people who live and breathe the fastest game on ice. If you’re tired of shallow highlights and box-score chatter, this is the show where hockey actually gets broken down, explained, and argued over by people who care as much as you do.Each episode of Hocky Booth steps inside the game from a fresh angle. One day it’s a deep dive on why a certain team’s power play suddenly looks unstoppable. Another day it’s a brutally honest look at a struggling star, a goalie crisis, or a coach on the hot seat. From early-season overreactions to playoff chess matches, we cut through clichés and dig into the systems, matchups, and storylines that really decide games.You’ll hear breakdowns of the biggest moments from around the hockey world: NHL headliners, playoff races, blockbuster trades, draft drama, international tournaments, and the prospects you’ll be talking about two years from now. Advanced stats and video-style analysis are always on the table, but explained in plain language so you don’t need to be a pro scout to follow along.Hocky Booth isn’t just about numbers, though. It’s about culture, characters, and conversations. We talk rivalries, locker-room narratives, coaching mind games, and the kind of behind-the-scenes dynamics that never show up on a scores app. Expect passionate rants, bold predictions, cold takes that age badly, and the occasional “we were actually right about this” victory lap.This is also a show built for fan voices. Mailbag episodes, hot takes from the community, and reaction shows after chaos-filled nights on the ice turn Hocky Booth into a place where fans feel like they’re part of the broadcast. Whether you’re screaming at your TV during a five-on-three or obsessively refreshing trade rumors, you’ll find your people here.If you’re new to the sport, Hocky Booth gives you the context and vocabulary to actually understand what you’re seeing on the ice: why neutral-zone structure matters, what a good breakout looks like, how forechecking schemes differ, and why some lines click instantly while others never find it. If you’re a lifer, you’ll appreciate the nuance, details, and willingness to challenge lazy narratives.Despite the playful spelling, the hockey is serious. Hocky Booth is for the fans who stay up for West Coast road trips, live and die with every overtime, and have strong opinions about third-pair defensemen. Lace up, grab your virtual seat in the booth, and hit subscribe.Welcome to Hocky Booth—where every shift, every storyline, and every bad bounce gets the attention it deserves.

  • Overtime on Ice: Upsets, Injuries and Olympic Anxiety

    Overtime on Ice: Upsets, Injuries and Olympic Anxiety
    Dec 10 2025
    The Hockey Booth is back, and this week’s episode is a full-ice sprint through a league in chaos, crunch time, and controversy. The guys open out West, where the Buffalo Sabres shock the Oilers with a 4–3 overtime stunner in Edmonton after Connor McDavid forces extra time with two seconds left. From a missed icing that has Lindy Ruff fuming, to another confusing glove-pass ruling, they dig into how vague NHL officiating is directly changing results in the standings. From there, it’s more late-game heartbreak as Anaheim steals two points from Pittsburgh on a shorthanded goal with 0.1 seconds left and a shootout dagger, all while the Penguins stumble without Evgeni Malkin. In the Pacific, the Kings are rolling through their moms’ trip with textbook road wins, suffocating third-period defense, and a perfect record when leading after two. The crew contrasts that with an ugly flashpoint in Minnesota–Seattle, breaking down Vince Dunn’s massive hit on Mats Zuccarello and what it reveals about the league’s ongoing struggle to balance legal physicality and genuine player safety. That naturally leads into a wider look at the “roster carousel” across the NHL: Buffalo’s growing injury list, the Rangers’ life without Adam Fox, Boston’s brutal Charlie McAvoy story and David Pastrňák’s return, Chicago’s development decisions with Sam Rinzel and Artyom Levshunov, and fresh debuts and depth moves in Philadelphia. Then it’s time to zoom out to the league-wide picture. Colorado’s historic start, Dallas’ high-octane push in the Central, and Detroit’s surge atop the Atlantic all get the spotlight—along with the Grand Rapids Griffins’ record AHL opening and Sebastian Cossa’s rise. The hosts spend real time on San Jose’s teenage phenom Macklin Celebrini, whose involvement in half of the Sharks’ goals and ridiculous micro-stats have him legitimately in the Hart Trophy conversation at just 19. From there, the show shifts to the global stage and the looming 2026 Olympics in Milan. The NHL’s hard line on ice safety, arena construction deadlines, and a smaller, more physical rink surface are all shaping how GMs think about their rosters. Team USA’s injury-riddled depth chart, Jason Robertson’s polarizing case, and the youth vs. experience debate on the blue line go under the microscope, as do Canada’s size-heavy defense plans, goaltending questions, and the roles of stars like Bedard and Celebrini. Sweden, Finland, and others are also feeling the strain of injuries and thin NHL depth. To close, the hosts step off the ice and into the culture of the sport: the anonymous NHL players’ poll and its “most punchable face” drama, a warning about how lazy AI-driven stat checking can mislead fans and writers, and the power of nostalgia—from Hershey’s vintage jerseys to a likely Nordiques throwback night in Montreal. They wrap with Bruce Boudreau’s praise of Alex Ovechkin’s pursuit of 1,000 goals and Vegas’ ruthless front-office overhaul to ask one big question: is organizational culture the true engine of playoff success, or just an intriguing footnote to raw talent? It’s a packed, fast-moving episode that blends game breakdowns, injuries, history, analytics, and Olympic intrigue—perfect for anyone trying to make sense of a season where every shift seems to matter.

  • Bruins Bruised, Oilers Unleashed: A Wild Week in the NHL

    Bruins Bruised, Oilers Unleashed: A Wild Week in the NHL
    Dec 6 2025
    This episode dives into a packed slate of NHL storylines, blending on-ice results, injury news, and big-picture roster questions from around the league. We start in Boston, where the Bruins managed an impressive win over the St. Louis Blues despite being hit hard by injuries to superstar winger David Pastrnak and top defenseman Charlie McAvoy. With two cornerstone players sidelined, we break down how the Bruins are adjusting on the fly and why rookie forward Alex Steeves has suddenly become a key figure on the top line, turning opportunity into production in real time. Out East, the New York Rangers continue to roll. We look at how their blue line is driving offense, the impact of their defensemen jumping into the rush, and what the emergence of young forward Noah Laba’s physical, hard-nosed game means for the team’s identity going forward. From there, we shift to the Western Conference, where the Edmonton Oilers put up a wild 9–4 statement win over the Seattle Kraken, fueled by a Connor McDavid hat trick and a relentless attack. Even in victory, however, the Oilers remain under the microscope as questions swirl around their goaltending stability and long-term defensive structure. The episode also tracks the shifting momentum in the Pacific Division. The Vancouver Canucks have stumbled into a four-game losing streak capped by a disappointing defeat to the new Utah Mammoth, raising concerns about depth, consistency, and confidence. In contrast, the Calgary Flames find a bright spot as goalie Dustin Wolf bounces back with a strong performance after the team’s recent “reset,” showing why he remains a crucial part of their future plans. We close by zooming out to the league’s broader rumor mill, where the Bruins, New Jersey Devils, and Philadelphia Flyers are all heavily involved in trade speculation. Veteran stars like Ryan O’Reilly and Steven Stamkos headline the conversation as contenders and retooling teams alike weigh short-term pushes against long-term cap and prospect considerations. From breakout rookies to aging stars potentially on the move, this episode connects the nightly box scores to the evolving story of an NHL season in flux.

    NHL Rinkside Report: November 28-29, 2025
    Nov 29 2025
    Hockey Booth dives into one of the wildest slates of the season as an absolutely loaded holiday weekend delivers drama in every corner of the hockey world.The episode opens with Friday, November 28th’s chaos: a rare clash of historic winning streaks in Minnesota, where the Wild edge the Avalanche 3–2 in a shootout. The hosts break down Jesper Wallstedt’s ridiculous 39-save night, his unbeaten 7-0-2 run, and how his early surge stacks up against Igor Shesterkin’s Vezina-level breakout. From the decisive shootout stop on Cale Makar to Gabriel Landeskog’s late tying goal, they unpack what this game says about both contenders.Out West, it’s “California chaos” as the Ducks storm back to stun the Kings 5–4 in a shootout in the first Freeway Faceoff of the year. You’ll hear how Anaheim’s young core — Leo Carlsson, Pavel Mintyukov, Olen Zellweger, Mason McTavish — turned a rivalry game into a statement about their future, and why LA’s inability to close is becoming a real red flag for a team with playoff ambitions.In Washington, the focus shifts to one of the league’s hottest defensemen. The Capitals rally from 2–0 down to beat the Maple Leafs 4–2, powered by Jacob Chychrun’s fifth straight game with a goal and a 10-game point streak that has him tracking toward a 30-goal, 75-point season. The crew puts his numbers in historical context and examines his dominant pairing at 5-on-5 — then wades into the officiating firestorm after a hot-mic moment from referee Kelly Sutherland reignites the league’s zero-tolerance stance on “even-up” calls.From there, it’s a full tour around the league. In Montreal, a convincing win over the slumping Golden Knights sets the stage for the Canadiens’ big move of the day: a five-year, $30 million extension for Mike Matheson. The hosts explain why the bonus-heavy structure makes this deal a calculated risk rather than a cap anchor, and how it helps define the Habs’ emerging blue-line core.Chicago and Detroit’s spirals get a hard look, from the Blackhawks’ systemic second-period meltdowns and broken power play to the Red Wings’ transition-defense issues and “catch-up hockey is losing hockey” reality check. The Sharks’ win over the Canucks becomes a mini-clinic in simplifying the power play, with Will Smith, Macklin Celebrini, William Eklund, and goalie Yaroslav Askarov all earning praise for driving a much-needed identity shift.Injury news looms large: Jack Roslovic’s absence pushes the already reeling Oilers closer to a forced move in goal, Charlie McAvoy’s facial surgery leaves a gaping hole in Boston’s lineup, and depth losses in Anaheim and Seattle complicate the run-up to the holiday roster freeze. The show also pauses on a deeply human moment: Clayton Keller playing for Utah just days after the death of his father, and what that says about leadership, grief, and perspective.Looking ahead, the hosts dig into early projections for Team USA at the 2026 Winter Olympics. With management openly prioritizing checking, versatility, and defensive reliability, they explore why players like Brock Nelson and Vincent Trocheck may be locks — and why pure offensive stars such as Cole Caufield, Logan Cooley, Jason Robertson, or even Adam Fox could find themselves on the bubble if they don’t meet a strict two-way standard.The episode closes with quick hits from the AHL and NCAA, including standout performances from Pheonix Copley and Boston College’s rising talent, before returning to the central question hanging over both the Olympics and the NHL at large: in the modern game, when the stakes are highest, does elite offense still trump safe, structured defense — or has the balance finally tipped the other way?
