    176 Trade Deadline Recap & Experience a PWHL Game w/ Guest Co-Host Alma Laura

    On this episode of the "House of Hockey" Podcast, Rae and her guest co-host Alma Laura, dive deep into the latest NHL news, PWHL news and share candid opinions on the hottest topics in the hockey world. Alma is a previous guest of the podcast, friend and fan of the LA Kings and Timo Meier. 

    They dive deep into the whirlwind of emotions and surprises that unfolded during the NHL Trade Deadline frenzy as the spotlight is on the Vegas Golden Knights who acquired Tomas Hertl, Noah Hanifin, and Anthony Mantha. 

    The Carolina Hurricanes receive some heavy hitters as Jake Guentzel leaves the Pittsburgh Penguins and Evgeny Kuznetsov of the Washington Capitals joins the ranks. Both Cup champions, their impact is bound to shake things up and their dynasty in Pittsburgh may be coming to an end. And what about the Winnipeg Jets snagging Tyler Toffoli, Colin Miller, and Sean Monahan? The Panthers aren't left out either, with Vladimir Tarasenko and Kyle Okposo making moves.

    But is a trade deadline deal worth a first-round pick? The ladies weigh the pros and cons. Plus,they ponder over Lou Lamoriello's four-year silence on deadline day deals for the New York Islanders.

    They also explore some of the weird happenings around the trade deadline. From games scheduled on deadline day to the awkward situation former Avs player Bo Byram faced. 

    Shifting gears, to women's hockey, from the PWHL to Rae's firsthand experience at the NY vs. Boston game where she finally got a puck from a player during warm ups. And in a delightful twist, Kendall Coyne-Schofield lends her voice to a character in Disney & Pixar's *Inside Out 2*, playing a female hockey player.

    We wrap up with a roundup of social media highlights, including the exciting collaboration between the Anaheim Ducks and Vans Shoes.

    Finally, it's time for our favorite segment – Hunk of the Week!

    174 Fight Week, Fan Faux Pas and Funny Speciality Jerseys with Guest Co-Host Joe Cangelosi

    174 Fight Week, Fan Faux Pas and Funny Speciality Jerseys with Guest Co-Host Joe Cangelosi

    On this episode of the "House of Hockey" Podcast, Rae and her guest co-host Joe Cangelosi, dive deep into the latest NHL news, PWHL news and share candid opinions on the hottest topics in the hockey world. Joe is a two-time guest of the podcast and a former pro hockey player most recently playing for the Carolina Thunderbirds.

    We dive right into the NHL frenzy, starting with the Florida Panthers vs. Carolina Hurricanes showdown that seemed to involve everyone throwing punches. And speaking of fights, who could forget Brandon Tanev of the Seattle Kraken taking on Connor Garland of the Vancouver Canucks? And let's not overlook the confrontation between Bobrovsky and Tkachuk, adding more fuel to the fire in the NHL rivalry department. 

    But the drama doesn't stop there. We discuss the rollercoaster week for the NY Rangers' Matthew Rempe, from his eventful first game on the outdoor rink to controversial hits and game-winning goals. Plus, Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs reaches a milestone with 50 goals this season in his home state of Arizona, while the Arizona Coyotes face controversy with Adam Ruzicka's contract termination after a troubling social media post.

    In AHL, we celebrate the Rochester Americans' unique initiative of putting nicknames on jerseys for a good cause, and goaltender Jaxson Stauber's impressive night for the Rockford Icehogs.

    The PWHL takes center stage with the historic Battle on Bay Street at Scotiabank Arena, where Montreal faced off against Toronto in front of the largest pro women's hockey crowd ever expected and the newest sponsor of the league.

    We also delve into the lighter side of hockey fandom with a social media viral video call-out involving a disgruntled Toronto Leafs fan and a tossed hat.

    173 Stadium Series Success & Playoff Predictions for Metropolitan Division with Guest Allan Kreda Hockey Journalist

    173 Stadium Series Success & Playoff Predictions for Metropolitan Division with Guest Allan Kreda Hockey Journalist

    On this episode of the "House of Hockey" Podcast, Rae Rae is joined by hockey journalist Allan Kreda, diving deep into the latest NHL news, PWHL news and sharing candid opinions on the hottest topics in the hockey world. Breezy is on the podcast’s IR.

    Allan Kreda is a long time writer who’s covered the three major NHL teams in the greater New York area, New York Rangers, New York Islanders and the New Jersey Devils. He’s spent almost two decades with the Associated Press. He’s covered money and banking, the National Hockey League and the sports media business. 

    First up, let's talk about the thrill of back-to-back games in the Stadium Series. It's a bold move, but what are the thoughts swirling around the league? Does the excitement of consecutive games add to the spectacle, or does it dilute the impact? And what about the decision to allow other games to be played simultaneously? How does that affect the overall experience for fans and players alike?

    But it's not all smooth skating in the Stadium Series. Merchandise availability, particularly concerning the NJ Devils is notable and Allan shares his perspective on what the NHL does well with these outdoor hockey festivals. Shifting gears to the on-ice action…Allan shares the general response from players and fans about outdoor games like the Stadium Series. 

    Turning our attention to the New York hockey scene, how's the Coach Patrick Roy era treating the New York Islanders? And we review the current states of the Rangers, Devils, and Flyers. What's the pulse of each team, and what can we expect from them moving forward?

    In a heartwarming twist, the Rangers and Islanders recently shared the Stadium Series stage with local heroes: firefighters and policemen. Donning jerseys representing their respective departments, these players honored the brave men and women who serve their communities. Meanwhile, the Flyers and Devils brought some pop culture flair, dressing as Rocky and Tony Soprano, respectively. It's moments like these that remind us why hockey is more than just a game—it's a platform for unity and celebration.

    Looking ahead, Allan shares some fascinating anecdotes about rubbing elbows with hockey legends like Adam Graves and Rodrigue Gabriel Gilbert. Plus, he's co-authoring a memoir with Ken Morrow, a true hockey icon with multiple Stanley Cups and a spot on the 1980 USA Olympic Miracle on Ice team. With stories like these, it's clear that the spirit of hockey lives on both on and off the ice.
