This week on Ice is Slippery, the Colorado Avalanche have written a compelling hockey narrative with the return of Gabe Landeskog and Kate has concerns for her beloved Dallas Stars. Fred? He's just nodding and smiling. We're also sending some non-playoff teams to summer camp for a little enrichment. Why do the Boston Bruins need music therapy camp? Listen to find out!         

This week on Ice is Slippery, we watched hockey history as Alexander Ovechkin broke Wayne Gretzky's goal scoring record. The Dallas Stars are ADHD icons, but they're starting to reaching the finding out portion of FAFO. Also, we cast NHL players as highly-specific Great British Baking Show contestant archetypes. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, Kate and Fred talk about trade news around the NHL (particularly changes that affected the Stars and the Flyers). We also talked about this week's funniest/pettiest NHL moment, and remembered why Vegas is so villainous.   Note: This week we also recorded an episode with Over the Glass hockey podcast! They're LGBTQ+ Sharks fans talking all things hockey, fan culture, and good vibes. Find them here (https://overtheglasshockey.wordpress.com/) and be on the lookout for our episode, coming out soon! 

Kate is recovering from dental surgery but she's DOING HER BEST, OKAY? Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin are becoming dads together (but not like, TOGETHER), Lian Bichsel is back, and have you heard Robo is on a heater? Finally, Fred would just like everyone to shut up.

This week on Ice is Slippery, we talk about conflicts in hockey both on and off the ice. The NHL is trying to do a heckin' capitalism on YouTube content creators, Fred's a little burned out on sports, but Kate is more excited about hockey than ever after attending the Stars-Avs game (let's not talk about the final score though). 

This week on Ice is Slippery, Kate is feeling pretty positive about the Stars as long as we ignore the first 12 minutes of the Rangers game! In other news, the Flyers crushed the Ducks in Philly, and now Cutter Gauthier is just somebody that we used to know. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, Kate has overcome her fear of Sharks as long as they come from San Jose and Joe Pavelski should consider a post-hockey career as a hair model. We also discuss hockey player archetypes and identify a major missing piece for the Dallas Stars. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, we catch up on some news and games from the shortened holiday week and make New Year's resolutions on behalf of some NHL teams and players. Kate would also like people to please stop breaking Mason Marchment's face. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, we make some important scientific discoveries and desperately look for something special about the Dallas Stars special teams. We're also happy our ex Scott Wedgewood is living his best life, but we wish we hadn't been foolish enough to let him go. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, it's a Lian Bichsel lovefest! We talk about the Dallas Stars defenseman's NHL debut, take a spin on the Colorado Avalanche goalie carousel, and feel vindicated in our admiration of Scott Laughton. We also add the San Jose Sharks to our holiday playlist and give some rare praise to the NHL marketing team.

This week on Ice is Slippery, Fred is still a half a hockey fan and Kate is beginning to wonder if the Dallas Stars are 100% of a hockey team. We talk about NHL news including the rosters for the 4 Nations Face-Off, go on Wedgewatch, and try to figure out whether the antonym for "relentless" is "relentful".

This week on Ice is Slippery, Fred is on the stop trying to murder people train and Kate is Mason Marchment's attorney and he is innocent. The Stars may have Kate back on her downward spiral, but the Flyers have no quit in them. Finally, we're writing new rules for the NHL where refs will have to answer for their crimes and goalie fights will be codified.

In this episode, we unpack our feelings on the Torts firing. Fred is cranky, while Kate is in her usual state of no facts, all vibes. The Flyers are in their hot girl era, the Dallas Stars look great on paper, and there are so many trains.

This week on Ice is Slippery Fred knows more than he thinks he does, but doesn't actually know what any of it means. Kate talks about why sometimes it's better to be a bad team than a good team (or at least more fun), and we speculate what our favorite hockey players might bring to Friendsgiving. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, everyone's hitting their milestones, Fred knows even less about hockey than usual, and Kate admits she may have been a little hard on the Dallas Stars last week. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, we give our opinions on the new PWHL jerseys before checking in on news around the NHL. During our weekly discussion on the Flyers and the Stars, Kate has a slight existential crisis about the current status of the boys in victory green. Finally, we figure out which NHL players should start a band and what roles they should play. Hint: there will be a bongo specialist. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, we give ourselves a fright by recounting Halloween highlights from around the NHL and checking in on our favorite jump scares on skates, the Philadelphia Flyers. We also add some international flair as we cover the Dallas Stars on their trip to Finland to play the Florida Panthers in the NHL Global Series.  

This week, Kate and Fred talk about the Frozen Frenzy. The what? Exactly. Next we check in on the Stars where the power play is an emotional roller coaster, but the throuple line always seems to pull through when we need them. Meanwhile, the Flyers give us some good news for once. And finally, find out who's invited to the party that we're definitely not throwing. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, Kate and Fred talk about what's going right with the Dallas Stars and what's going less right with the Philadelphia Flyers. We also debate the science behind so-called magical amulets (spoiler alert: there isn't any) and track down other bizarre products for NHL players to potentially endorse. 

Hockey is officially back! We revisit pomp and circumstance from around the NHL - from league promos to team promos, from opening ceremonies to opening games. We take an early look at the Stars and the Flyers, and we even have time for a thought exercise on fast food sandwiches.

The NHL is in a weird liminal space between preseason and actual season, so we spend our inaugural episode breaking down FACEOFF: Inside the NHL on Amazon Prime. Tune in to hear our thoughts on William Nylander's playoff chest hair, Jeremy Swayman's unexpected turn as Guitar Guy at the Party, and why we're reluctantly charmed by Matthew Tkachuk.

Ice is Slippery is an unserious hockey podcast brought to you by one and a half hockey fans. In this teaser you'll meet Kate (the hockey fan) and her husband Fred (the other one) and get a quick taste of what you can expect from future episodes.

This week on Ice is Slippery, Kate knows a lot of words and Fred has an old lady vocabulary. Kate celebrates our lord and savior Thomas Harley, while Fred is pretty sure that Seth Jarvis is fixing his blood pressure. Also, is it just us, or do NHL refs have main character syndrome? 

On this very special episode of Ice is Slippery, Fred and Kate give you an up close look at the Stars and Avalanche game. Kate's also still recovering from her up close look at a hockey butt. It's absolute chaos in the best way. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, Kate and Fred talk through the ups and downs of the trade deadline. We welcome a surprise superstar and say goodbye to some old friends. We also break down how the Stars played this week. And the Flyers were also there!

This week on Ice is Slippery, Fred has his first experience as a bloodthirsty hockey fan and goes all in on Matthews memes. Meanwhile, Kate's looking through the couch cushions to find an extra defenseman for the injury-riddled Dallas Stars. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, the 4 Nations fever dream came to an end. Torches were passed and we returned to our friends on the Stars and Flyers. Michkov is on fire, Kuzmenko is adorable, and Bichsel has opened the Toblerone trauma tunnel. Also, you'll never guess which Dallas Star is secretly a capybara. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, Kate and Fred checked in on the PWHL before diving into the 4 Nations Face Off. We take a look behind the scenes at the icy rivalry between Finland and Sweden as well as the on-ice fireworks between Canada and the US, and try to figure out exactly what the deal even is with Sid and Nate anyway. Also, we took a vote, and no hockey players are allowed to have the aux cord. 

Kate listened to Spittin Chiclets so you didn't have to! She shares some highlights from the Jim Nill interview. We also talked about The Athletic's anonymous player poll before casting some of our favorite NHL players as archetypal characters in romantic comedies. 

Kate and Fred return with another bonus episode of Ice is Slippery to talk in-depth about episode 5 of Heated Rivalry. The hottest show on TV showed us what it's like to be emotionally sexy, and Kate scored a hat trick in crying. Meanwhile, Fred's just excited about the return of Scott Hunter. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, Fred is full of caffeine and hot takes while Kate is filled with a deep sense of dread over the state of the central division. That doesn't stop her from making a passionate argument in defense of Jamie Benn. 

On this week's episode, Kate's a clutch player (or maybe that's Cates?), Lian Bichsel is either a ham sandwich or a Canada Goose, and Fred just wants to look at some birds.

We're full of hot takes this week on the podcast, whether we're taking on William Nylander's YouTube channel or the new Victory Plus studio. Meanwhile, the Dallas Stars appear to be having fun on and off the ice this year and it's all Kate ever dreamed it could be.

We're back! Kate's still a hockey fan and Fred is still doing his best. In this episode, we touch on some preseason highlights and check in on the current state of the Flyers and Stars. We also watched the second season of Faceoff on Amazon Prime and share our thoughts. 

We're back at it with another off-season overtime episode. Kate's still talking about hockey, Fred's manifesting a kaiju, so it's business as usual. We talk about some of the biggest trades and signings to go down leading up to and during free agency. We also give our initial impressions on upcycled Dallas head coach Glen Gulutzan.

Surprise! We're back with a mini off-season episode that we're calling an overtime episode. We catch up on the Panthers drunken shenanigans tour, and check in on this year's NHL draft which was the opposite of riveting. Finally, we highlight some of the biggest trades and signings of the week, including one which righted a great cosmic injustice. 

On this week's episode we wrap up our coverage of the Stanley Cup finals and follow the Florida Panthers on their drunken shenanigans tour. We also talk about the trades and signings in Dallas and look back at some of our favorite moments from the NHL season.

This week on Ice is Slippery, Matthew Tkachuk's dropping names, the Edmonton Oilers have morphed into the Dallas Stars, and Kate and Fred are having olfactory flashbacks. We also help out some other NHL teams by assigning them girl pop anthems of their own. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, we check in on the Stanley Cup playoffs but not before we bid adieu to Pete DeBoer. By the way, Frank (also known as Fred) is not allowed to make any head coach hiring decisions.

This week on Ice is Slippery, we bid farewell to Kate's beloved Dallas Stars and shared some thoughts about Noted Western Conference Loser Peter DeBoer. We also revealed why an army of Etsy witches is powerless in the face of the hockey narrative.

This week on Ice is Slippery, we're putting Mason Marchment on trial in a listener-inspired game time. We also think Mitch Marner should look for a low steaks team (and no that's not a typo). Finally, while some people who aren't us think that Roope Hintz should be nominated for a Best Actor Oscar we're pretty sure we're in the running for a BAFTA.

We're back with another bonus episode! This time we're doing an in-depth breakdown on episode 4 of Heated Rivalry (a show that seems to get better with each episode). We also touch base on the show's massive cultural impact. Mild book spoilers pop up throughout the episode, so proceed with caution. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, a lot of people have raccoon energy and there's a new set of BFFs in town. We also catch you up on round two of the playoffs, and remind you that Mason Marchment has opinions. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, Fred's not good at math, Kate's not a medical expert, and Mitch Marner probably doesn't know how a garbage disposal works. We also see how round two of the playoffs are going so far, and advise eliminated teams on creative self-care practices.

We're wrapping up round one of the playoffs and looking ahead to round two. In true ADHD icon fashion, the Dallas Stars waited until the last possible second before showing up with a presentation that blew everyone out of the water. The NHL scriptwriters have really outdone themselves, and Mikko Rantanen may have won the divorce. 

It's playoff season! Kate and Fred are doing a deep dive into round one of the playoffs with check-ins on all the match ups. We talk about bench brawls, harmonica anthems, time-traveling Tyler Seguin, whatever Tom Wilson's deal is, and much more. Also, the San Jose Sharks may not be in the playoffs, but their feel-good vibes continue to bring us joy in these trying times.

This week on Ice is Slippery, we're inventing a whole new branch of hockey law. Kate gives her firsthand account of game one between the Stars and the Avalanche, and we break down our predictions for which NHL teams will survive the first round of playoffs. 

In this bonus episode of Ice is Slippery, Kate and Fred take a deep dive into the first three episodes of Heated Rivalry. Kate is a hockey fan and has read the books! Fred is still only half a hockey fan and hasn't read a book since college! We're still pretty unserious, but surprisingly more thoughtful than usual.

This week on Ice is Slippery, Kate and Fred grapple with the fact that college was a long time ago before we check on the walking wounded in our extensive NHL Injury Report. Kate also did math, which is how you know she takes this podcasting thing very seriously. 

This week on Ice is Slippery, the refs have main character energy, Fred has a new understanding of beige, and Kate is doling out banger parenting tips. We also learned about each other (and ourselves) through a diabolical round of Would You Rather: Hockey Edition.
