The Hockey Show - Episode 414

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, returns tonight with one of our favorite guests who will do a deeper dive into a team that might have surprised a few people considering how they've played in these NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. There's a lot to be said for a few teams - the Canucks and the Stars come to mind immediately - but perhaps the one team who is accomplishing more without a bonafide NHL superstar are the New York Islanders. And that means we need to check in with our favorite Islanders source!

While his kids are universally loved when they make appearances on the show, they don't make an appearance tonight as we go back to John in Washington, DC who has been a New York Islanders fan since he could pronounce "Bossy". We talk to John about the game yesterday as the Isles and Flyers prepare for Game Three tonight, how Barry Trotz has really shaped this team into a contender, how the Islanders are playing incredible 5-on-5 hockey, and the efforts by the Pelech-Pulock defensive pairing before tackling the insanity of the Logan Couture sucker-punch, Jonathan Marchessault's Instagram follies, and Allan Walsh's itchy Twitter finger that left his player under the wheels of the bus he drove through Las Vegas. It's a fun show with a lot of laughs as we get the skinny on the Islanders from longtime friend of the show, John in DC! Hear it all tonight on 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, and on UMFM.com at 5:30pm!

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, 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.

Tonight, Teebz and John talk about the Islanders' success in the playoffs, Trotz's influence on the team, Pelech's and Pulock's contributions to the team, Logan Couture's glass jaw, Jonathan Marchessault's fragile ego, Allan Walsh stapling Marc-Andre Fleury to the Vegas bench, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
