This week on Goalie Hugs: Who thought this was a good idea? Dark boards edition. The U.S. women are on record pace through the Olympic tournament: Are they the greatest team the U.S. has ever assembled? Did Miracle (2004) break everyone's brains? How do the men stack up?

Actual Goalie Fights

Goalie Hugs ·

2026/02/05

This week on Goalie Hugs (& Fights): Jeremy Swayman fought Andrei Vasilevskiy and nothing else happened in the 2026 Stadium Series game (let's pretend, anyway). The Nashville Predators will be looking for a new general manager as Barry Trotz announced his intent to retire soonish. Nick Bjugstad is, in fact, not Niclas Bergfors. Artemi Panarin was traded to the Los Angeles Kings. Matvei Michkov is probably just slumping and you're overreacting, not us! Rapid fire: Who's buying and who's selling

It's Technically Winter

Goalie Hugs ·

2026/01/09

This week on Goalie Hugs: Dany's back (and his audio was funky for a bit, sorry for that). The Pittsburgh Penguins: Are they back too? Listener questions! (Is it time for Michael DiPietro in Boston?) It's winter in the northern hemisphere, but is it really classic? Lanci predicted the 2027 Winter Classic location (and it's official now). Analyzing the 2026 Winter Games U.S. and Canadian men's rosters. Is Gavin McKenna still No. 1 after the 2026 IIHF World Juniors? Some Heated Rivalry thoughts.

Perfect Situation

Goalie Hugs ·

2025/12/05

This week on Goalie Hugs: A Thanksgiving mashed mush ranking. Mikko Rantanen and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week. Mike Matheson is good and that's scary. Well, not too good, but, you know. Brenden Dillon reached 1,000 games. Helmets aren't being worn when they should be worn. What would you have to give up for No. 97? A lot of playoff talk because of that statistic (you know the one). Are the Winnipeg Jets the new Nashville Predators? Some Leafs talk for the Leafs fans. And finding

An Extremely Long Pop Quiz

Goalie Hugs ·

2025/11/21

The Columbus Blue Jackets exist. The San Jose Sharks are going topless. Brad Marchand is the latest thief. Oh and we spent a surprising amount of time talking about goal scorers from just one game in the last week out of the many that occurred. Jeff Petry and Justin Faulk hit 1,000 games. Connor Bedard and Macklin Celebrini are trying to one-up each other. The Edmonton Oilers kind of suck again. Plus, we spent some time diving into goaltending stats leaders so far, whether the Minnesota Wild can do

Oh La La!

Goalie Hugs ·

2025/11/14

It's November and you know what that means for the Buffalo Sabres. We also talk about the ethics of stealing, sweaters, Alex Ovechkin's actual total goal totals, Nazem Kadri at 1,000 games, what's up with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Marcus Johansson at 1,000 games and much more-- like the PWHL's Seattle Torrent and Vancouver Goldeneyes' branding, the 2025-26 Takeover Tour plans and where we'd like to see the next round of PWHL expansion.

Goalie Hugs ·

2025/11/06

Jake Wallinger joins the show to talk about the "CinnaBEC," Toronto's multi-sport curse, a look around the NHL, the future (and the now) of the Boston Bruins, Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Jim Montgomery, Jack Eichel's Hart campaign and Pod on Lansdowne. He also suffered through "Off the Cuff" as the first victim of the game show segment's debut on Goalie Hugs. Meanwhile, our Jake's per 60 is rising with a 100% increase in guests named "Jake."

01:06:32

OH SORRY! (feat. Court Lalonde)

Goalie Hugs ·

McUltimatum

Goalie Hugs ·

2025/10/08

Connor McDavid signed a two-year extension that'll keep him in an Edmonton Oilers uniform through the 2027-28 season, unless he wants out before then. Plus, Jackson LaCombe reset the market (kind of), the Boston Bruins are going to retire Zdeno Chára's No. 33 and the Battle of Florida got a little out of hand in their final preseason meeting. All that and more!

The Calgary Flames want to host the 2028 World Cup of Hockey and the PWHL eyes more expansion. Meanwhile, Kirill Kaprizov is going to be a lot richer and the Toronto Maple Leafs did something smart (kind of)

The Gr8 Flakes!

Goalie Hugs ·

2025/09/18

Alex Ovechkin has a new cereal and the Washington Capitals have a cool new alternate jersey. Not to be outdone, the Detroit Red Wings unveiled their centennial threads to commemorate their 100th season and we tried to guess what the New York Rangers have in mind for their centennial look. Also, Ivan Fedotov was traded, some RFAs are still unsigned– until Wyatt Kaiser signed his new deal between this recording and when this episode was actually released– and a bunch of players have PTOs. Finally, the

After not getting around to doing any episodes this summer, the Goalie Hugs crew returns for the 2025-26 NHL season with a bunch of excuses.

Dany returns and everyone forgets that Roger McQueen exists! Well, almost everyone, anyway. Also, the St. Louis Blues and Boston Bruins unveiled rebrands and the Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2025 was announced. We did a mock draft for the first half of the first round of the 2025 NHL Draft too.
