The NHL was on its annual holiday break this past weekend, but both the Flyers and the Oilers (yes, even the Oilers!) are in a solid playoff position as of the stoppage. Meanwhile, the beginning of the World Junior Championships has Rachel excited as no fewer than nine Flyers prospects are playing in the tournament for various nations. It’s the last Hockey Feels episode for 2016! Happy holidays! And Happy New Year!

The Flyers winning streak finally came to an end at a staggering ten games this past week, but it was an impressive feat. However, thanks to the Columbus Blue Jackets’ own nine-game winning streak, and to the fact that the Metropolitan Division is the best division in hockey, the Flyers are still only fifth(!) in their division. The Oilers are still in the top three in the Pacific, which in the middle of December is quite astonishing given recent history. Coming soon: the holiday break! And the World Juniors!

The Flyers are red hot. Winners of eight straight games going into recording, Rachel’s favourite team made Steven’s Oilers one of their victims this past week, winning 6-5 in a tense and entertaining affair. But thanks to the rest of the Metropolitan Division, particularly the incandescent Columbus Blue Jackets(!), the Flyers are still only good enough to be tied for fourth in the division. The Oilers, meanwhile, have treaded water as of late, but are still just a point out of first in the Pacific, and Connor McDavid is running roughshod through the league. All this and more on today’s Hockey Feels!

What a week for the Flyers! Five straight wins, and an NHL 1st Star of the Week award for goalie Steve Mason. The Oilers, while slightly less impressive in style, still managed to take five of six points from their last three games. including a rare win over Anaheim on the weekend. But this is all setting the table for this season’s first Oilers-Flyers matchup later this week…

As of now, teams like the Oilers, Flyers, Devils, Jets, and Blue Jackets are hovering near respectability. Can they stay there for the rest of the season?

It was a rough week for the Hockey Feels crew, where the results of the 2016 US election knocked most of the joy out of life for both Rachel and Steven, and their enthusiasm for hockey and other diversions also suffered. Good thing, too, as both the Oilers and Flyers had less than inspiring weeks on the ice. However, the crew presses on to talk about Eric Lindros, sports and politics, and other sundry hockey news items.

The Flyers lost in Montreal on Saturday night, but also won back-to-back games earlier in the week.

The first regular season meeting between Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews did not live up to the (massive) hype, with neither player registering a point in a 3-2 OT win for the Maple Leafs on November 1. The Flyers have had troubles keeping the puck out of their own net while displaying a knack for putting that puck in other teams’ nets.

You know it’s incredibly early in the NHL season when the Oilers are in first place, but with five wins in their first six games, Steven is still cautiously optimistic about the start for his favourite team. Over in Flyers territory, Rachel is happy to see how rookies Travis Konecny and Ivan Provorov continue to perform. All this and more in an exciting week in the NHL!

The first few days of the NHL season are in the books, and there is plenty of optimism in Oil Country after a couple dominant offensive wins over Calgary (and one offensively dominant loss at the hands of the Sabres…). Also, the Flyers are burning the midnight oil out on the west coast, making it difficult for hometown fans to follow their exploits, including those of the Flyers’ newest hockey boys in Travis Konecny and Ivan Provorov. Hockey is back, everyone!

Listen as Rachel and Steven agree to disagree on their picks of where some teams will finish in the standings, while finding common ground on how well (or poor) other teams fare.

It already seems like ages ago, but last Thursday, Team Canada won the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. Steven and Rachel were blown away by this utterly predictable development, and so devoted some time and energy into discussing the result of this new-ish international tourney. But focus now is on NHL training camps and spotty coverage of preseason games, and the hopes and dreams of Travis Konecny making the Flyers opening day roster. Next week: our NHL preview edition!

Rachel and Steven discuss the World Cup, Rachel's visit to Toronto to watch a couple games and experience the atmosphere, and they lament the beautiful creature that was Team North America. Also, NHL training camps have opened, and optimism is high in both the Oilers' and Flyers' camps. The preseason begins tonight!

The first round robin games at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey are in the books, and there have been some big surprises. Team Europe, that gang of Old World orphans, shocked the heavily favoured USA, while Canada was especially dominant against the Czech Republic. However, those plucky upstarts on Team North America have already won over the coldest of hearts, blitzing Finland, and making Rachel and Steven very happy on this week’s Hockey Feels.

After a few episodes over the course of the summer, Rachel and Steven are back every week now, starting this week with their preview of the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, and how their beloved Team North America will fare.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are Stanley Cup Champions! With Rachel unavailable, Steven gives his thoughts on Pittsburgh's rise to the top of the NHL this season, how Crosby proved he was still the best player on the planet and deserved Conn Smythe Trophy recipient (despite not scoring a goal in the Final), and how Martin Jones basically willed his San Jose Sharks teammates along when they were clearly spent by the end of these playoffs. We'll be back later with a wrap-up episode, but for now, enjoy this short interlude!

The Stanley Cup Final (not Finals) hasn't quite gone as hoped for for Rachel and her temporary favourite team, the San Jose Sharks. Overpowered and outplayed, the Sharks are now down to the Pittsburgh Penguins three games to one, and they'll have to stop Pittsburgh from winning their first ever Cup on home ice on Thursday night in order to survive. Other topics discussed in this episode: Awesomecon in Washington DC, musicals, and Finnish radio calls!

The Stanley Cup Final is set! It's the Pittsburgh Penguins, winners of three Stanley Cups, their most recent in 2009, versus the San Jose Sharks in their first ever Finals appearance. Rachel and Steven both wear their hearts on their teal sleeves during this episode in cheering for the Sharks and their ragtag band of beards, although both realize that the Penguins are a formidable opponent indeed. Also, the World Cup of Hockey rosters were finalized, and what's not to love about the Team North America roster? Gostisbehere, Nugent-Hopkins, and Auston Matthews all made the team, which has already won over both Hockey Feels hosts. Bring on September! But first - bring on the Stanley Cup Final!

Both the Blues and Sharks are looking to eviscerate past playoff failures, while past champions Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh duke it out in the East. We also talk about Ovechkin's choice to play for Russia in the World Championships, the coaching vacancies still present in Anaheim and Calgary, and the retirement of former New York Riveters goalie Jenny Scrivens.

Another exciting week this week in the NHL, with the Lightning punching their ticket to the Conference Finals, the Sharks, Blues, and Penguins each needing one more win to do the same, and the coaching carousel finding homes for Bruce Boudreau and Guy Boucher in Minnesota and Ottawa, respectively. Perhaps the most exciting news of the week, on a personal note, is that both Connor McDavid and Shayne Gostisbehere were announced as finalists for the Calder Trophy, to be handed out in late June in Las Vegas.

NHL Draft Lottery! The second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs! The Blues and the Sharks achieving playoff success! All sorts of topics for Rachel and Steven to dive into this week, and so they did, discussing Toronto's impending #1 overall draft pick, and how they think the playoffs are going.

And exciting week in the Stanley Cup Playoffs as the Flyers dramatically extended their post season lives a couple times before bowing out in six to the Capitals. Also, the victorious San Jose Sharks finally bested the LA Kings in a series for the ages, and Dallas, Tampa Bay, and Pittsburgh all moved on to the next round. Playoff talk all around on this week's Hockey Feels!

It was a bad night in Philadelphia, which started with a touching tribute to late Flyers owner Ed Snider, but gradually devolved into a 6-1 blowout loss for the Flyers at the hands of the Washington Capitals, with some awful penalties and even more egregious acts from some of the fans in attendance. Rachel was at the game and gives her take on the evening, and she and Steven run down what they think of the NHL playoffs thus far.

It's crunch time for Rachel's Flyers as they struggle to hold on to their playoff spot, fending off the advances of the Red Wings, Bruins, and maybe even in the Islanders in this final week of the season. Meanwhile, Steven's Oilers limp towards the finish line both for this season, and for their tenure in Rexall Place, the only NHL home the team has ever known. Lots of talk this week! Join us!

After a week off thanks to Steven being in the desert, lost in Mountain Standard Time, the podcast returns with chatter about the Flyers playoff drive, the state of hockey in Arizona, and a rundown of the NCAA and IIHF Women's hockey events going on this week. And tons of Flyers love from Rachel as her team strives for that last playoff spot in the East!

It was a championship weekend in women's hockey as the Boston Pride captured the inaugural NWHL title, sweeping the final over the Buffalo Beauts to win the Isobel Cup. North of the border in the CWHL, the Calgary Inferno won their first ever Clarkson Cup over the heavily favoured Les Canadiennes. Both games were played under a shadow of possible expansion in the NWHL, or a merger between the two leagues... Also, lots of NHL outdoor games were announced this past week, and David Bastl from Bastl's Bytes drops by to talk about them.

It's the first annual Hockey Feels NHL Trade Deadline Special! And, oh, what trades were made! Okay, it was actually one of the quietest deadline days on record, with most of the big stuff happening on the weekend before, but there was plenty of transactions for Rachel and Steven to sink their teeth into, including the Flyers standing pat, and the Oilers tweaking the bottom portions of their roster.

All Ghost Bear, all the time on this week's edition of Hockey Feels, as Rachel is over the moon about the hotshot rookie defenceman Shayne Gostisbehere. And why not? A 15-game point streak (an NHL record for a rookie defenceman) and solid Calder Trophy talk for the saviour of the Flyers blueline is enough to get anyone excited. Steven and Rachel also talk about various news items of the week, including those items that they forgot about last week!

For the second time in Hockey Feels history, Rachel and Steven are recording from a Doctor Who convention. This time, it's the noisy lobby at Gallifrey One in Los Angeles, wherein James Bond films are briefly discussed before your two hosts speak glowingly about their two favourite rookies - Connor McDavid and Shayne Gostisbehere. One thing they completely forget to mention? The Dion Phaneuf trade that rocked the hockey world last week. Hey, it's vacation...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... That's how Steven felt in regards to Connor McDavid's return to the Oilers lineup, which started amazingly, but came crashing to Earth with a pair of horrific losses over the weekend. Thankfully, writer Melissa Geschwind lightens the mood by dropping by to talk about Martin Brodeur, whose #30 will be retired by the Devils on February 9.

After much hubbub and ado, John Scott's appearance at the NHL All-Star Game in Nashville actually proved to be not only a success story for the NHL, but one of the truly wonderful human moments in sports in recent memory. Listen to Rachel give her report from Nashville where she saw the festivities unfold, and to Steven have his cold stone heart melted by the hockey feels of this past weekend.

Rachel is both snowed under and under the weather, having been prevented attending the NWHL All-Star Game in Buffalo by New York City travel bans and flu-like symptoms. However, there was plenty to talk about this week, including just announced details regarding the NHL's new streaming service, NHL.tv. Next week: it's the NHL All-Star Weekend!

On this week's show, Rachel and Steven discuss the John Scott situation as it looks like the player fans voted in to be captain of the Pacific Division All-Star Team won't be playing in the game at all after all thanks to a trade and a demotion. But wait, there's more! How do you pick a team to cheer for if you're new to a sport? This, and Rachel's Recommendations!

A flurry of trades (actual trades!) highlighted this week in the NHL, and Rachel and Steven were keen to talk about them - especially as Flyers' GM Ron Hextall pulled off some salary dump larceny! Also, Connor McDavid has a return date to the Oilers lineup, and the NHL All-Star game rosters have taken shape!

It wasn't a good start to the year for the US and Canadian junior hockey programs as both teams bowed out before the gold medal game at the recent IIHF U20 Championships in Helsinki. But is that a bad thing? And what did Rachel and Steven think of the NHL Winter Classic this year? Listen in!

A great week for the Oilers and their perfect 5-0-0 homestand has buoyed Steven this week, while Rachel's Flyers suffered a couple losses to offset an impressive win over the Blues. But talk of change in Pittsburgh, a new sponsorship deal with the NWHL, and the troubling story of parental abuse suffered by former NHLer Patrick O'Sullivan dominates this week's episode!

Rachel and Steven are back in their proper places this week, with the Doctor Who-related globetrotting behind them (for now). And good thing too as there are two notable topics that feature during this week's episode - the change in format to the upcoming NHL All-Star Game, as well as all the wacky (and, occasionally, smart) ideas people are coming up with in order to increase scoring in the NHL.

A very special episode of Hockey Feels! Steven and Rachel record in person at Long Island Who, a Doctor Who convention and, in keeping with the theme of the world's longest running science fiction programme, your intrepid hosts take time to compare NHL players of past and present to all the Doctors - with amusing results! Also, talk of injuries, advanced stats, and bobbleheads flesh out this week's charming episode. Enjoy!

An awful week for both Steven and Rachel's teams this past week. The Oilers and Flyers met each other in NHL action on November 3, and while the Oilers escaped with a 4-2 win, they lost superstar Connor McDavid for the foreseeable future with a broken clavicle. Also, the Flyers endured a six-game losing streak before finally snapping it with a win over the weekend. Despite these setbacks, Steven and Rachel talk about defining moments of their hockey fandom in order to cheer themselves up.

An extra special episode of Hockey Feels this week! Steven is on vacation in the UK for the next couple weeks, so he and Rachel invited Patrick Smyth, host of The View From The Bridge, a podcast about the Belfast Giants of the EIHL! The topics range from the history of hockey in Great Britain to where the game is going in the future. A great chat about hockey across the pond that we hope you enjoy.

It took a while, but John Tortorella is back in the NHL, taking over the rudder of the struggling Columbus Blue Jackets. Other teams not doing so well - the Ducks and the Penguins - occupy the discussion this week, but there is plenty to talk about regarding Rachel's Flyers and Steven's Oilers, as well, on another jam packed edition of Hockey Feels!

Not a bad week for both the Flyers and Oilers this week, with backup goalie Michal Neuvirth leading Philly to back-to-back shutouts, and Connor McDavid and all his fellow #1 overall draft picks devouring Calgary on Hockey Night in Canada. Rachel and Steven also take time to discuss what teams are surprising them so far this season (both good and bad), and speculate on the NHL's future expansion plans.

The first weekend of the 2015-16 NHL season is in the books, and it has been a slow start for both Steven's Oilers and Rachel's Flyers, with neither team winning any of their opening games. But there were still thrills and spills to marvel about, and as a special bonus, Steven touches base with David Bastl of TSN 1050 Radio in Toronto to talk about how the Maple Leafs and the media are adjusting to lowered expectations for the rebuilding club.
