Canadian Puxedo: Recent Episodes
Canadian Puxedo
Canadian Puxedo is a weekly hockey podcast about the NHL’s Canadian teams. Join Matt Wright, Charles Pickett, and some of the countries best comedians and sportswriters for a light hearted look at the Scotia North Division. Oh, baby!
Matt and Charles recap the Cup Finals and the drunkest press conference in the history of sports. The Oilers make a bizarre trade for Duncan Keith and OH MY GOD THE SENATORS HIRED PIERRE MAGUIRE?!?
Congratulations to our Habs listeners, the Montreal Canadiens are in the STANLEY CUP FINALS (?!?) and we're still here! Matt and Charles talk about how the Habs beat Vegas and if they can beat Tampa. Also talking Pacioretty vs Suzuki, Vasilevsky vs Price, and Matt wonders the name of the tonsil disease children often get.
The Habs are moving onto the semi finals! The Jets are going home! Matt ate a THC gummy that he thought was a CBD gummy! Comedian and Jets fan Tim Gray joins Matt and Charles for our weirdest episode yet.
Are Pierre-Luc Dubois's deck building escapades are to blame for his poor performance? What is to blame for our poor performance? Why did Tim make a quesadilla while he was recording this?
Matt and Charles are back and they are SAD! After a quick recap of game 1 of the Habs/Jets and some talk about the Scheifele suspension, the boys give credit to the Habs, hell to the Leafs, and have a long discussion on if the Leafs should blow up the core.
The Jets swept the Oilers (Goodbye Oil), the Leafs are up 3-1, and we are back. Did the Oilers get goalied? Who's to blame in Edmonton? Why is Dominic Ducharme trying to help the Maple Leafs? And who is going to win between the Leafs and the Habs?
The playoffs are here and we're making predictions! Can the Jets slow down McDavid and the Oilers? Can the Habs upset the Leafs? Can we learn how to manage our stress? Of course we can't! Nick Nemeroff (Conan, JFL, Juno nominee) joins Puxedo to talk about the Habs chances.
For our 10th episode, Canadian legend Jonathan Torrens joins the pod to talk about the Oilers, Swedish product endorsements, and gives some beautiful pandemic life advice. Also, Matt and Charles discuss McDavid hitting 100, Matthews hitting 40, and wave goodbye to the Oilers, Canucks, and Flames.
The Canucks and the Flames are dead. Cole Caulfield is alive. The Sens are ruining things. Comedian Tim Gray joins the pod to discuss his Winnipeg Jets, John K. Samson, and whether or not Dustin Byfuglein lives in the Jets scoreboard.
Comedian and Canucks fan Rob Bebenek joins to answer an important question: is it better to lose in the finals or not make the playoffs at all? Meanwhile, the Flames, Habs, and Sens fight for the last playoff spot, the Leafs and Jets fight each other, and (hot take) Connor McDavid is good.
The Canucks are back and so are the boys. Brittany Lyseng (Just For Laughs) joins the pod to talk shit about her Calgary Flames. Matt and Charles discuss the Canucks heartbreaking/heartwarming victory over the Leafs, do a deep dive on Jake Allen vs Carey Price, and Ken Holland is unwilling to use young players. Matt is still mad about Taylor Hall. Charles is mad at Matt for being mad at him about Taylor Hall.
Matt and Charles recap the trade deadline and all the funny business around it. Is Nick Foligno worth a first? Will Sam Bennett benefit from a change of scenery? Why is Taylor Hall worth less than Mattias Janmark? Also: Marc Bergevin wants every D except Victor Mete, the Sens are selling, and the Oilers are standing pat.
We're one week from the trade deadline and John Cullen joins the boys to review all the biggest deals from each general manager. Subban for Weber! The second Kessel trade! How Pierre Dorion accidentally built the Avalanche blueline! And more!
We're past the halfway point of the season and we're giving out Canadian division awards - both real and made up. Comedian Graham Kay (Crave, Colbert, Just For Laughs) joins the pod to talk all things Ottawa: the future is bright, the present is ugly, and the goalies pads are blue. Matt and Charles debate if the Canucks should sell, whether or not Alex Galchenyuk is for real, and if Darryl Sutter needs a TikTok account.
The Oilers are on fire: but should they pay Tyson Barrie? What's up with the Canadiens OT record? Is Jack Campbell the guy for the Leafs? Also, the Flames are hanging by a thread. The Canucks are hanging by a thread held by Thatcher Demko. Also: we talk the Sedin twins vs the Olsen Twins, Charles can't do math, and Matt needs to talk about Alexander Daigle again.
On episode 2 of Canadian Puxedo, the Jets are hot, the Leafs are cold, and no one should fight Milan Lucic. Also, Matt and Charles debate the importance of streaks.
Matt Wright and Charles Pickett take a look back at the first half of the season for the NHL's Canadian teams.
