Episode 22 is pure, unfiltered vibes. No rundown, no agenda, no adult supervision, just us letting the hockey universe take the wheel.

We bounce from draft chatter to trade season chaos, spiral into classic league-wide overreactions, and (naturally) take a moment to appreciate why Ivar Stenberg is Number 1 draft pick material. It’s part analysis, part nonsense, and fully on-brand for us when we decide “planning is overrated.”

If you like your hockey talk a little unhinged, a little passionate, and powered entirely by vibes… this one’s for you.

The World Juniors have wrapped and we’re breaking down the outcomes, the moments that made us proud, the ones that made us scream, and the players who absolutely raised their stock on the international stage. From gold medal glory to heartbreak hockey, we’ve got thoughts and yes, we’re sharing all of them.

But don’t worry… after being responsible for a bit, we return to our roots.

We finally get back to a silly, goofy topic and ask the important question: what would hockey players be doing if hockey didn’t exist? The answers spiral quickly from motivational cult leaders to aggressive construction site foremen, and several jobs that absolutely require a hard hat and unchecked confidence.

It’s part hockey analysis, part unhinged speculation, and fully the chaos you’ve come to expect. Welcome back to our favorite version of ourselves.

We kick off 2026 by looking back at a little bit of everything that made 2025… well, 2025 from the Minnesota Wild to the Washington Capitals and our beloved Hershey Bears. Some highs, some lows, and plenty of opinions we definitely didn’t keep to ourselves.

Kristina immediately throws the script out the window to share her early World Juniors hot takes, including a Canadian Christopher Walken-esque commentator we can’t stop thinking about and the shocking realization that it is, in fact, possible to find refs worse than the ones in Hershey.

We wrap things up with a scorching hot take that we already know is going to spark some debate so stick around to the end and be sure to send us your two cents. We’re ready to hear it.
