The Players Are Running the NHL | Hot Garbage Sports Podcast Ep. 2


Over 300 NHL players can block a trade, and the stars are using that power to pick their next team. Brady Tkachuk picked Florida and scored back-to-back natural hat tricks. Connor Hellebuyck held out, and the Jets kept winning. Nathan MacKinnon and Roope Hintz didn't wait for a referee.


Episode 2 of the Hot Garbage Sports Podcast. No-trade clauses, fighting coming back, Connor McDavid's best start, Connor Bedard's early return, the Hellebuyck standoff, and my Week 2 Tier Sheet re-ranking all 32 teams. So who actually runs your team, the GM or the guy with the clause?

Who’s Real and Who’s Fake in the NHL | Hot Garbage Sports Podcast Ep. 112 oct. 202601:23:57

Who’s Real and Who’s Fake in the NHL | Hot Garbage Sports Podcast Ep. 1

The New York Rangers are winning, and they just lost Igor Shesterkin for the season. The Winnipeg Jets have a winning record and have been outscored. Two weeks in, the NHL standings are lying to you.

In the first episode of the Hot Garbage Sports Podcast, Hockey Canada High Performance coach Ryan D breaks down who’s for real and who’s faking it. That means shot differential, special teams, and the coach’s read the standings can’t show you. We cover the Rangers’ crease without Shesterkin, the Connor Hellebuyck standoff, Vegas vs. Edmonton in the West, the injuries that change seasons, Ovechkin’s final lap, and an updated Tier Sheet for all 32 teams. Plus your comments, your questions about me, and fan shoutouts.

Is your team’s record telling the truth?
