Crazy stat - 


There’s no shortage of hockey analysis out there, but sometimes you just want to hear from people who watch the game the way you do. That’s the spirit of the ScuttlePuck NHL Hockey Podcast, hosted by NHL hockey fans Mike Bonn and Dale Hoard. They happily embrace their role as irreverent Hockey Outsiders, offering less-than-expert opinions that come straight from the stands. While the National Hockey League is their primary beat, their conversations roam wherever the puck does-from IIHF tournaments and the Canadian Hockey League to NCAA matchups and minor league stories. If it’s a good hockey tale, they’ll dig into it. Each episode feels like hanging out with friends who aren’t afraid to question a front-office decision, celebrate an underdog, or get sidetracked by a bizarre play. This podcast is built on a genuine fan’s perspective, free from insider jargon, making complex league news feel like a chat over a drink. You’ll hear their takes on weekly events, deep dives into larger trends, and the kind of sideline stories that often get missed by the mainstream sports shows. Tune in for a consistently unfiltered and entertaining look at the world of hockey.
