Puck It, Let's Talk: The Monthly Update That Got Away...

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/11/06

It’s our first monthly Washington Capitals recap, and shocker we couldn’t stop at just October. We had to sneak in that first November game too because, honestly, we just love to chitty chat too much.We’re diving into the first 12 games of the Caps season, highlighting who’s leading in points and goals, and giving full credit where it’s due to Logan Thompson’s incredible start. (Kristina’s still convinced he won’t make the Olympic roster, and she’s still absolutely wrong.) Plus, we’re a little

2025/10/28

Kristina is still learning how to use the NHL app (progress is… questionable), we’re still struggling to stay on topic (sorry, Barb), and we couldn’t be happier because hockey season is officially back!We’re breaking down the opening games across the league, sharing our first impressions, early hot takes, and a few questionable predictions. Kristina also announces her dream interview with Logan Thompson’s parents because if she ever got to talk to the big man himself, she’d probably just sit

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/10/17

This week on Rock The Roar, we’re diving into final rosters and all the chaos brewing in the Metropolitan Division. It’s officially Kristina’s turn to absolutely butcher players’ names, while Candace begs her to stop calling Brock Faber “Nerd Alert” before legal action becomes a real possibility. Plus, Kristina might be a little too thrilled about her new phrase “NHL Debuties.”Hockey season is finally here! It’s October, the games are on, and we’re ready to roar. Disclaimer: Kristina knows how to

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/10/07

This week on Rock the Roar, Kristina and Candace take a deep dive into the world of Nepo Babies in Hockey, the last names that just keep popping up, the Hughes brother dynasty that’s poised to take over the league, and our tips to keep track of which sibling is which on the ice.We also recap the first half of the Washington Capitals preseason, complete with hot takes, emotional whiplash, and our “dinner” with Clay… where we definitely didn’t overreact. (Okay, maybe just a smidge and Kristina

Puck It, Let's Talk: 32 Teams and 32 Missing Pieces

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/09/28

This week we cover some fresh hockey news before diving into Kristina’s deeply depressing hot take on what she thinks the final Capitals roster will look like (spoiler: it’s bleak, y’all). From there, we spin the wheel of delusion and ask: what does every NHL team actually need to win the Stanley Cup? Spoiler: for some it’s simple, for others… it’s divine intervention. Oh, and a teaser for next week’s episode: instead of responsibly staying home to watch Caps vs Flyers from the couch, we

Puck It, Let’s Talk: Rookie Moves & Captain Chaos

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/09/20

This week we dive headfirst into rookie training camp, where the energy is high, and the competition is fierce. We break down which fresh faces stood out, who’s likely to crack an NHL roster, and which rookies might need to brush up on their cardio.Then we shift gears into the big “C” conversation: NHL captains. Every team’s got one (well, except when they don’t). We debate who actually deserves the letter, which teams need a shake-up in leadership, and Candace absolutely refuses to let Kristina

Puck It, Let's Talk: The Future of Game Day Fits &...

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/09/15

Chaos level: maximum. With no supervision from our production staff (a.k.a. nobody is stopping us), Kristina and Candace dive straight into the wild world of NHL fashion policies. We kick things off by unpacking the latest changes to the game day fit rules, who’s about to elevate the tunnel runway, who’s destined to flop, and who might surprise us all. From there, the conversation somehow spirals into figuring out which player will become the Adam Sandler of the league, and why Jeremy Swayman is

Puck It, Let's Talk: The Good, The Bad, and The Mascots

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/09/06

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

Puck It, Let's Talk: Checking Your Chart - Hockey...

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/08/29

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

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/08/22

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

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/08/18

This week on Rock the Roar, we dive headfirst into Olympic roster dreams (and nightmares). We break down who we hope makes it, who shouldn’t, and why poor Logan Thompson is getting straight-up ghosted by Team Canada. Kristina has some choice words for Canada’s coaching staff—don’t worry, no ill will to Peter DeBoer or Bruce Cassidy… we’re just dying to know what kind of epic prank LT pulled to get himself blacklisted.Oh, and Kristina almost forgets to mention Andrew Cristall (gasp!), but don’t

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/08/10

This week's episode is crowded, not just with hockey headlines, but with all the elephants in the room we've been politely ignoring...until now. We tackle recent news, break down development camp (including which prospects have a grudge against Candace) and yes, Kristina and Candace cannot stop talking about Jeremy Swayman being, well, an absolute freak (in the most endearing, chaotic, goalie-gremlin way possible). It's part hockey talk, part vent session, and entirely too many pachyderms for one

Puck It, Let's Talk: Rookies, Receipts, and Roster Moves

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/08/03

Welcome back to Rock the Roar, where the 2025 NHL Entry Draft is in the books, free agency is a mess, and Candace has officially reached her limit. In this episode, she finally delivers her long-awaited rant about what the Capitals are (or more accurately, aren't) doing and it's part meltdown, part therapy session. Kristina, meanwhile, continues her campaign to make Andrew Cristall the face of the franchise, casually inserting his name into every topic like it's part of her contract. We're

2025/07/26

In this epsiode of Rock the Roar, we're diving headfirst into the latest buzz from around the NHL! From breaking hockey headlines to a breakdown of the Stanley Cup Final (yes, Candace has some thoughts), we're covering it all - with absolutely no filter. We also take a look at the biggest award winners (and a few snubs) from the NHL Awards -- who deserved it, who got robbed, and why you shouldn't take our opinions seriously (seriously...DO NOT SUE US). Whether you're riding high from a Cup win or

Strap in as we unwrap the chocolatey choas of the Hershey Bears' season and why there are so many 6 foot 4 NHL players. Whether you are here for the stats, the goofs, or just to hear us say "without a doubt" 17 times, this epsidoe delivers.

Rock the Roar Podcast ·

2025/07/12

The Washington Capitals franchise turned 50 this year and we're throwing the ultimate birthday bash-minus the cake, plus the chaos. We're talking Caps Fest, some statistics, and Ovechkin chasing greatness and the top goal spot. Oh, and our hot takes? Unapologetic and definitely correct. Lace up and Rock the Roar- this one is for you :)
