Surprise! We're back with a mini off-season episode that we're calling an overtime episode. We catch up on the Panthers drunken shenanigans tour, and check in on this year's NHL draft which was the opposite of riveting. Finally, we highlight some of the biggest trades and signings of the week, including one which righted a great cosmic injustice.

This week on Ice is Slippery, we're putting Mason Marchment on trial in a listener-inspired game time. We also think Mitch Marner should look for a low steaks team (and no that's not a typo). Finally, while some people who aren't us think that Roope Hintz should be nominated for a Best Actor Oscar we're pretty sure we're in the running for a BAFTA.

We're wrapping up round one of the playoffs and looking ahead to round two. In true ADHD icon fashion, the Dallas Stars waited until the last possible second before showing up with a presentation that blew everyone out of the water. The NHL scriptwriters have really outdone themselves, and Mikko Rantanen may have won the divorce.

This week on Ice is Slippery, we watched hockey history as Alexander Ovechkin broke Wayne Gretzky's goal scoring record. The Dallas Stars are ADHD icons, but they're starting to reaching the finding out portion of FAFO. Also, we cast NHL players as highly-specific Great British Baking Show contestant archetypes.

In this episode, we unpack our feelings on the Torts firing. Fred is cranky, while Kate is in her usual state of no facts, all vibes. The Flyers are in their hot girl era, the Dallas Stars look great on paper, and there are so many trains.
