Mitts & Twigs Episode 7!
It occurred to me while finishing this episode that recognition and accolades are a lot like revenge; they're best served cold.
There is also something to be said about if you focus on them alone even if you achieve them you'll end up feeling empty, BUT we'll save that conversation for another show.

This episode was originally recorded on November 7th, 2021. Ty and I discuss Kyle Beach, the Chicago NHL team and our feelings about hockey's culture.
If you don't already please follow Rick Westhead (@rwesthead) on Twitter who continues to keep the story alive, despite of the NHL's attempts to bury it.
I mentioned them on the pod but I highly recommend following and listening to the Broadscast podcast (@BroadscastPod on Twitter), in particular to their episode 59: The Heroism of Kyle Beach.
Lastly please check out respectgroupinc.com to find out more about how we can aim for a better future.
Today's JAM packed episode is coming to you a little later than intended but that's because their are exciting changes coming! We discuss that as well as noteworthy news events and as the title says POWER RANKINGS. Today's episode was recorded on November 7th. For those of you actually reading this here's a little fun fact; Despite the slow turn-around time from recording to publishing, this week's episode is the LEAST edited episode so far! Make sense of that! I swear, I'm firing the producer as soon as we get money...
This week we welcome Dave back to talk headlines, early season surprises, burning questions and predictions!
If you listen carefully you'll also understand the title better!
This week Ty and I celebrate the start of the NHL season by talking headlines and diving into our predictions for division winners, and it's all carefully seasoned with a sprinkle of Maple Leaf slander.
Hockey season is finally upon us, and that means the Puckheads Fantasy Hockey Draft Special!
This episode we talk a bit about Robin Lehner, how the NHL can and should do better by the players and then we dive into our home league dynasty hockey draft (year 2!)!
We recorded this on our draft day, pre and post draft. I think it's fair to say we've set a new bar for trash talk and animosity on our podcast.
Let us know what you hated/liked/thought on Twitter @HeadsPuck
Hey there sports fans!
Strap yourself in because today's episode was a doozy! Tyler and I shared our waaaaay too early Canadian Olympic Rosters, I gave a couple shout outs and we even found the time to answer a few burning questions that Tyler had on his mind.
Hate our rosters? Did we leave off your favorite player? Let us know at @HeadsPuck on twitter. Every tweet you don't send is 5 minutes of focus I have to give my real job! (just kidding, I'm definitely never on my phone while working...)
We're talking contracts!
A quick turn around for an episode this week thanks in large part to the Hurricanes. The fellas were dying to talk about the offer sheet heard round the (western?) world so I thought I'd get their takes on the Couturier and Svechnikov contracts while I had them.
Ty and I were joined by Bryan, the king of fantasy trades, today. As always, we'd love your feedback of any kind and you can find us at @HeadsPuck on twitter.
Episode Two (or 1?) has DROPPED!
We've just started and I've already screwed up the numbering! How many episodes before I get an intern for this stuff? Anyway...
In this episode we discuss Hank's Hall pass, Glendale ghosting the Yotes and whether Buffalo needs to worry about yet another top pick going rogue. Plus we try our hand at a silly segment, Pass or Clap (don't @ me, hockey puns are depleted).
Speaking of @ing us, you can find us on Twitter @HeadsPuck (PuckHeadsPodcast). If you've got any feedback, good, bad or in-between let us know there and give us a follow (feel free to mute us after).
Born out of warm up and test recordings, our Episode Zero was a quick discussion of Minnesota's current cap situation and future.
With me today is Tyler, the man who will be my co-host for many of these shows.
So if you don't like him and you don't like me, buckle up!
