The Hockey Show - Episode 435

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, rings out through the land on the 101.5 FM frequency once again this evening as Jenna and I tackle a pile of happenings in the hockey world. The NHL is back and we're seeing some rather uninspiring play from the local squad as the Jets have stolen wins from teams that likely deserved them more, and COVID-19 reared its ugly head to force the cancellation of two games for the Carolina Hurricanes. In other words, it's another week where Jenna and I ask a lot of "why" questions here on The Hockey Show!

Tonight, Teebz and Jenna try to make sense of the 2-1-0 Winnipeg Jets who have been thoroughlu outplayed in all three games, yet hold a winning record. There's a reference to Paul Maurice's current record with the Jets when he's not wearing glasses in there before they break into a discussion on Jakub Voracek ripping into reporter Mike Sielski on a conference call, the Nashville-Carolina game that was postponed due to COVID-19 protocols, Team Canada's women's camp going into a bubble and some of the notable names both at and not at camp, why Team Canada might need to change strategies when it comes to the women's program, the IIHF Men's World Hockey Championship being moved from Belarus due to safety concerns and where it might land, and why the NHL is changing pucks mid-season. It's a busier show as Teebz and Jenna dive into the news at 5:30pm CT, so make sure you tune in on one of 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com!

Where's the best place can you hear tonight's show if you're outside Winnipeg or not near a radio, you ask? The new UMFM website's online streaming player is pretty awesome if you want to listen online. If you're using an Apple device, the player doesn't seem to like Safari yet, so if you want to stream the show I'd recommend Radio Garden to do that as it works nicely with Safari. If you're more of an app person, we recommend you use the TuneIn app found on the App Store. If you do use the TuneIn app, you won't be disappointed. It's a solid app.

If you have questions, you can email all show queries and comments to hockeyshow@umfm.com! Tweet me anytime with questions you may have by hitting me up at @TeebzHBIC on Twitter! I'm here to listen to you, so make your voice heard!

Tonight, Teebz and Jenna try to figure out the Jets, explain why Voracek is so angry with Sielski, decipher how the Nashville-Carolina will be made up, dissect the Team Canada women's bubble, reschedule the Men's World Championship, dive into puck problems in the NHL, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
