In the immediate moments preceding whatever Hawks/Flames was last night, Sam and Slak try to contain their Cubs Fever while all of us wonder when the PK will improve and when anything is going to begin to matter. Get a taste.
In this edition of the podcast that’s taking the nation by storm, we sit down to discuss the week that was both locally and in the league, and discuss how valuable small sample sizes are for everyone to jump to conclusions with.
Audio procurement after the jump.
Predators expert and bowtie aficionado extraordinaire J.R. Lind stops by this week to give everyone a peek at what to expect out of Nashville in the back half of the episode, but not before the Hockey Ghouls get to the bottom of the roster-shakeups league wide from the “Incredibly Good Player Draft” known as the camp-ending waiver wire. All pertinent links for audio acquisition following the jump.
Holy shit, this actually got done two weeks in a row. And what a riveting 40ish minutes this is, wherein the training camp roster battles and Artemi Panerin’s contract issue are discussed. Find new and exciting ways to fill your ear holes with us after the jump.
With apologies to Dennis Miller Live’s theme music, we decided to counter-program last night’s debate with the issues that are really on the mind of the American Electorate.
In yet another attempt to make something out of this format, Sam, FifthFeather and myself discuss matters both of local and league-wide interest as the new campaign begins tomorrow night. Stream below or download direct here.
It’s time once again for another rousing edition of our podcast, Live From The Five Hole. This time Chris Block of The Third Man In joins the fray to elaborate on the comings and goings from Rock Vegas. Ryan Lambert of Puck Daddy, Deadspin, and other even more nefarious reaches of the internet (we assume) also offers insight on not only why the Flames have been so surprisingly good this season, but also some of the scoop on Jack Eichel and his pro prospect status coming out of Boston University.
Stick it in your ears here.
With the season beginning in earnest tomorrow and the Hawks fandom consumed by Carcillo and Leddy mania, it seemed like a good idea to get some outside perspective on the goings on elsewhere in the league. And with that we’re pleased to have had both Sean Gentille of the Sporting News and Steve Lepore of Awful Announcing join us for another edition of Live From The Five Hole. Enjoy.
With there being about 40 hours (give or take, depending on time zones) between the death honk of the Ducks and the Kings taking the ice on West Madison tomorrow afternoon, there’s obviously not nearly enough time to get as in depth into the opponent in print as we’d like here. Fortunately we’ve got you covered.
Like a mangy dog looking for scraps in the alleyway, we’ve finally come around to recording another one of these things. For some reason there was a bit of a clamor for it, even though it seemed like no one listened to them the first go around. In any event, we’re all back for all of your podcasting delights. Or at least Sam and I are in this episode.
We’re also working on a slightly new format, one that’s a little more guest-intensive, because no one wants to listen to either of us yammer on to each other for an hour straight and not be a paid member of Chicago’s bartending service industry. So this episode will feature:
- Chris Block of The Third Man In discussing Rockford politics at length.
- Derek from Fear The Fin on the Sharks’ chances in the West.
- And Chris Gift of St. Louis Game Time (the publication) gracing Sam with 8 minutes of his attention between innings of a Cardinals spring training game.
We’ll work on getting it back up into iTunes and such, but that requires a bit of vetting and we’ve got to start all over again since we’ve moved down the block. But for now, you can download it here.
