  • Sean Avery Show | These Bad Teams Need A Director of Fun
    Oct 14 2026

    Sean Avery is back breaking down what's happening around the NHL — from struggling teams and coaching decisions to player fashion, hockey culture and the energy inside an NHL locker room.


    Sean introduces his idea of a Director of Fun: someone whose job is to get players energized, loosen up the room and help teams bring more intensity to the ice. He discusses the Philadelphia Flyers' slow start, the Vancouver Canucks' lack of identity and why he believes NHL coaches need to do more to connect with their players.


    Plus, Sean weighs in on the Edmonton Oilers fan reportedly ejected for waving an Alberta flag, the Calgary Flames' winless start, the Los Angeles Kings, Montreal's exciting young team and the latest NHL player fashion trends.


    He also discusses the new PWHL jerseys, Igor Shesterkin's injury and the possibility of Jonathan Quick returning to the New York Rangers. Later, Sean looks at Connor Hellebuyck's contract holdout, breaks down a fight between Mark Stone and Brandon Montour, and defends his signature hockey-stick pointer presentation style.

    Oct 7 2026

    Sean Avery is back with Episode 3 of The Sean Avery Show — and this week, he's talking NHL fashion, Connor Bedard, Dylan Larkin, Trevor Zegras, hockey cards, no-trade clauses and more!


    Sean Avery breaks down Connor Bedard's first season as captain of the Chicago Blackhawks and has some strong opinions about how an NHL captain — especially the captain of an Original Six franchise — should look and carry himself. He also takes aim at Dylan Larkin and the Detroit Red Wings, Trevor Zegras' jersey tuck, NHL equipment rules and the changing culture around hockey players.


    Plus, Sean talks about the San Jose Sharks, Gavin McKenna, Macklin Celebrini, the New York Rangers, Igor Shesterkin, Brock Faber's injury, the explosion of NHL trading cards and why he's buying up his own Sean Avery rookie cards.


    Sean also weighs in on no-trade clauses in the NHL and explains why he believes GMs give players too much leverage when they hand out excessive trade protection.


    This is The Sean Avery Show — an unfiltered look at hockey, NHL culture, players, personalities and the game from a former NHL player.

  • Gavin McKenna, Leafs Leadership & Analytics
    Sep 30 2026

    Sean Avery is back with another episode of The Sean Avery Show — and the NHL season is finally here.


    This week, Sean Avery talks Gavin McKenna, William Nylander, Mike Babcock, the Edmonton Oilers, NHL fitness testing, analytics, scouting and what it takes to succeed in the NHL. Sean breaks down Gavin McKenna's mentality ahead of his first NHL game and explains why he believes the young star is ready for the pressure.


    He also weighs in on William Nylander and the Toronto Maple Leafs, arguing that Nylander should be the team's leader, while discussing Auston Matthews, the Leafs and what Toronto needs from its stars. Sean also dives into the latest Mike Babcock comments, including Babcock's "tree versus a shrub" description of Shakir Mukhamadullin, and explains why he believes Babcock understands how to connect with everyday hockey fans.


    Plus, Sean gives his take on the NHL eliminating fitness testing, shares his thoughts on Macklin Celebrini, reacts to Sidney Crosby's tribute to Marc-Andre Fleury, discusses Justin Verlander's final game, and explains why NHL teams should invest more in scouting and former players instead of relying so heavily on analytics.
