UTP Morning Hockey: They're Back


Welcome back! Today's game features Lokomotiv Yaroslavl and SKA Saint Petersburg. Two teams near the top of the Western Conference, should be a hell of a game. 

Watch the game with us here. I believe this game may also be available on ESPN3.

Don't Even Think About Calling This A Defense

Hey! What a complete and total shock!  A guy who’s nothing but a bonehead out on the ice said bonehead things on an uncensored talk radio show!  Geez, what is it with you people and attacking Cam Janssen?  Yes, he said some truly awkward things that the New Jersey Devils probably didn’t want attached to one of their players.  And yeah, it was uncomfortable to watch and listen to some of his jokes but you guys are really missing the genius moment in this interview.  I swear I’m not being sarcastic in any way with this last statement. Pinkie promise.

A Little Rant About Respect

There seems to be this crazy insane trend going around lately that is really disrespectful, and no I’m not talking about Daniel Tosh’s comments the other night or the fact that ESPN is forcing sports fans to gaze at Brad Richards in the buff.  No, I’m talking about something way more personal to the sport of hockey.  

I’ve always been taught to live with respect and that there are certain things that are bigger than me and my grasp of the world.  And I know I’m not the only one that’s been taught to live like this.  Every time you watch a player (or fan) refuse to let their sweater touch the ground, the rituals that go into folding them up, the painstaking steps players take to avoid the team logo on the locker room floor, and every other quirk/ritual the players have when it comes to their team, their gear, and the cache that comes with all of the above, you witness that respect and have the understanding that the history.  The players get how much bigger the history of hockey is than them.  Players might be a part of it, they may help shape the fate of the team, but at the end of the day, they are just a small part of that history.

EPISODE 90: HOCKEY ARE #@$%ING DEAD

Your move, St. Louis Blues.

 

 

This week we don our black veils, not in honor of the new Stanley Cup champion L.A. Kings, but because the crushing melancholy of the off-season has officially crept upon us. Just kidding, this week we discuss what possible impact the original sunbelt franchise winning a Cup might have on hockey in California. Also, we discuss tinfoil hat-wearing fans, certain writers who love nothing more than to rain on hockey's parade, L.A. punk rock, AND America. No guest this week so it's just Peter and I rambling on.

Music Featured This Week:

(The Intro was) Coup D'etat by The Circle Jerks

New Dark Ages by Bad Religion

Devil's Dance Floor by Flogging Molly

Rise Above by Black Flag

I'm Not A Punk by Descendents
