The Hockey Show - Episode 349

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, returns to the airwaves being broadcast by UMFM to talk a little puck! As you may be aware, there's this little thing called the Stanley Cup Playoffs that are running, and the final series is underway with the Bruins and Blues deadlocked at 1-1 after the Blues pulled off a little OT magic last night. The AHL Calder Cup Final is set as well as the Chicago Wolves will travel to Charlotte, North Carolina to face the Checkers on Saturday night in Game One of the series! The ECHL's Kelly Cup Final is also happening, and it features a Canadian team as the Newfoundland Growlers currently lead the Toledo Walleye 2-1 in the series with Game Four scheduled in Toledo, Ohio tomorrow! Beans and I will get into this and more on the show tonight!

There's not a lot to say about the Stanley Cup Final yet, but the Blues changed their style to be more physical last night and it paid off with a win. We'll talk about this shift in style and why Boston can likely match the Blues' physicality. There was a new hire in Canada West as the Lethbridge Pronghorns women's team has a new coach at the helm, and further north we saw the Oilers finally name their head coach. There's some instability and some potential expansion plans in the KHL to discuss. Finland dominates the world once more, and it's likely not going to stop any time soon. And we'll talk about Seattle looking at Boise and Palm Springs as AHL franchise locations! It's another busy night on The Hockey Show, so make sure you join us at 5:30pm CT!

Speaking of joining us, 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, but we highly recommend you use the TuneIn app found on the App Store or perhaps another browser. If you do use the TuneIn app, you won't be disappointed. It's a solid app.

Having lost faith in Facebook, I spend far less time on that site for good reasons. In saying that, you can still email all show questions and comments to hockeyshow@umfm.com! Tweet me anytime with questions you may have by hitting me up at @TeebzHBIC on Twitter! We're here to listen to you, so make your voice heard!

Tonight, Teebz and Beans talk new style, new coaches, new teams, old problems, a new powerhouse, and much more only on The Hockey Show found exclusively on 101.5 UMFM, on the UMFM app, on the UMFM.com web stream!
