Stories and Stars
It’s a Game Day edition of Beginner’s Puck! Deb and Erika touch on the narratives coming out of this year’s Stanley Cup Final: the good, the bad, the catfish..but especially #Smashville and those fresh faced hockey boys Jake Guentzel and Freddy Gaudreau.
We also chat about the NHL Livestock Auction. Whoops! The NHL COMBINE (easy mixup); important dates heading into the post-season and the Philadelphia Flyer’s new assistant coach. And in a new “What the Puck?” we explain Three Stars.
Finally, Erika shares a fave hockey tidbit: The fist bump line. Okay, so it veers a little bit into a discussion on male intimacy and the culture of toxic masculinity but hockey is weird, okay?
We’re getting down to the wire, kids. Do you think tonight’s game will decide it all? Hit us up on Twitter and let us know what you think!
