Hockey might be on break, but that doesn’t mean we’ve run out of chaos. George the skeleton is officially part of the crew (he’s not much of a talker, but his vibes are immaculate). We tiptoe around the terrifying possibility of Toronto finally winning a Stanley Cup. Candace tries not to say it, then immediately says it out loud. The bulk of our nonsense? A deep dive into hockey mascots: the cute, the cuddly, and the ones that haunt our dreams. Come for the hockey banter, stay for the giggles and the questionable mascot hot takes.

The stars have aligned and apparently, most NHL head coaches are Virgos. This week, we get a little cosmic as we break down the astrological signs of NHL coaches, and Kristina gets extra passionate about why she’s not exactly on board with Rod Brind’Amour (spoiler: it’s a Leo thing). The giggles are at an all-time high, partly thanks to our newest “special guest” in the studio, George the Skeleton, who may or may not become a permanent third mic. We also take a step back and go over some hockey basics for listeners who want a crash course before we dive headfirst into the season. It’s hockey, it’s astrology, it’s skeleton sidekicks! What more could you want?

In Episode 7, we dive headfirst into the icy waters of hockey history, complete with Canada’s eternal claim that they “own” the sport. Spoiler: we’re not entirely buying it. We also take a future-gazing detour into what the Washington Capitals might look like when Ovi eventually hands over the “C,” and let’s just say the crystal ball is blurry but fun. Things really heat up, though, when Candace and Kristina square off in a full-on verbal battle royale over who carries more blame when a team implodes: the GMs or the head coaches. (Bring popcorn.)
