…that is the question on many NHL players’ minds right now, when it comes to deciding whether to take up their spot on the Olympics rosters of their home countries (if selected of course). But what would a potential positive COVID result mean for the fans, for their NHL clubs, for their mental health, and for their bank balance? On this episode of NHL Fans From Afar, Clare & Jolon debate: Are players selfish if they want to go play in the Olympics? With more postponements and players entering COVID protocol across America & Canada, is it time for the NHL to bring back the taxi squad? Vancouver Canucks kick up the arse clearly worked… ! But how? Could they turn it around and still bag a playoff spot? Presented by Clare Freeman and Jolon Kemp Walker. Produced by ASFB Productions. Tweet us @NHLFansFromAfar…

Biting is wrong 1:11:57

1:11:57

If you had to describe what you can and can't do someone in the NHL... I wonder how long it would take to get to saying... "oh yeah, you can't bite an opponent!" Anyway, this week that's exactly what happened and it's on our list of things to talk about. Montreal have fired their longstanding GM and we look at what's next for a team which were only a few games away from lifting the cup last season. Some big names have found themselves on the waiver wire and heading to the AHL including a two time Stanley Cup winning goaltender. Plus as both our hosts teams are currently on winning streaks, there was a bit of Dallas Stars and Maple Leaf chat for good measure too. Your hosts this week are Jolon Kemp Walker and Matt Day.…

Kyle Beach Is A Hero 1:20:26

1:20:26

This episode, we pay huge respect to the player Kyle Beach, who has almost single-handedly challenged an entire institution to do better, and to be better in dealing with instances of sexual abuse reporting. This week a major investigation revealed there HAD been a systemic failure in how the Chicago Blackhawks handled Kyle’s abuse in 2010, and since it was published - many of the Stanley Cup winning management from that time have resigned and been challenged on how on earth they could have let down a young player so badly. During this NHL Fans From Afar, we look back at the past, the present and potential future impact this story is likely to have in the sport of ice hockey. Not just in Chicago - but in the players union, the league and in the business of life. We will add if you are upset or triggered by us talking about sexual abuse, please pause or skip this episode if need be. And of course - like Kyle - we will always encourage you to reach out for help if you’re affected by this subject. The Samaritans are brilliant - reach out to them via phone on 116123 or samaritans.org for support. Presented by Clare Freeman, Jolon Kemp Walker & Craig Jones. Produced by ASFB Productions.…

Could the secret to winning the 2021 Stanley Cup be in having a good rear end? It's nothing new that great goaltending has always been key in keeping an NHL team's silverware hopes alive, but it seems that both New York Islanders and Vegas Golden Knights are keeping up their success with some impressive stats and scoring opportunities from their defensemen... We pick about the painful end of seasons for Colorado Avalanche and Boston Bruins. Plus, are all Canadians pinning their validity of the North Division on the Canadiens?! And two new coaches - one for Columbus Blue Jackets and New York Rangers. Control wise, what should we expect of the upcoming off season? Presented by Clare Freeman and Jolon Kemp Walker.

Bruce Cassidy gets his knickers in a twist after a tumultuous game 5 between Boston Bruins and the New York "Saints", sorry - he meant Islanders... It looks like Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights are going to go the full hog in their series... Could Tampa Bay Lightning shutdown Carolina Hurricanes in game 5 or 6? And say what.... Montreal Canadiens SWEEP Winnipeg Jets and take a 7 game winning streak in the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.... Contains conversions about boa constrictors and continued misery for Toronto Maple Leafs' fans. We're still bitter, sorry. NHL Fans From Afar is presented by Clare Freeman and Jolon Kemp Walker.

Mark Scheifele takes his kids to work…quite literally. He really did take a couple of goats to the rink for practice… In the meantime, the rest of the grown ups are already deep in the mud of round one in the 2021 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. There’s some big match ups too - it’s crazy to think that Washington Capitals OR Boston Bruins won’t progress to round two! New York Islanders are already giving Pittsburgh Penguins a run for their money, and surprise wild card Minnesota Wild beat Las Vegas Golden Knights in game one? More than half of games played so far have finished in overtime… As Clare gets set for her first vaccine the same night that Toronto Maple Leafs enter the playoffs, she admits she’s not sure which she’s dreading more…Plus as Latvia prepares to host Team GB Ice Hockey team and friends from this Friday, Jolon continues to reminisce about his trip to the IIHF World Championships in 2019.

Pointless Parking Ticket 1:07:36

On the menu today: Breaking news - We react to the headlines that Washington Capitals’ Tom Wilson has been fined AGAIN. But will it really make a difference? Jolon compares the $5k fine as “just another parking ticket”… It’s the final dash to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for Nashville Predators vs Dallas Stars and St Louis Blues vs Arizona Coyotes. Plus, why are the Winnipeg Jets tanking? There’s heartbreak for New York Rangers who gift New York Islanders their playoff berth AND the pleasure of a shutout. Connor McDavid is in the playoffs! Hurrah! Edmonton Oilers fans are finally feeling optimistic. We’ve respect for Ryan Miller who hangs up his skates as a goalie playing 18 seasons in the NHL. Carolina Hurricanes contracts on hold until all backroom staff are secure too, or so says their head coach Rod Brind’Amour. Plus a few thoughts on the cancellation of the Women’s World Hockey Championships, as Hilary Knight says the last minute move was yet "another reminder that women's hockey continues to be treated as an afterthought." Presented by Clare Freeman and Jolon Kemp Walker. Produced by ASFB Productions. Pic - Tom Wilson flexing in the penalty box, during ‘that’ game against New York Rangers.…

Some geekery over the individual NHL trophy awards - Clare couldn’t give two hoots about following who’s in the running or not, Jolon tries to convince her why they can be interesting! From the Calder, to the Norris, to the Vezina - the NHL Fans From Afar team look through the list of former winners, where they got their names from and who’s in with a shot this season. And yes, there really is an award for being the most gentlemanly… We recap on where the land lies for Stanley Cup Playoff berths, with continued races in several of the divisions for those 4th spots. Plus, what does the Turner Sports and EPSN deals mean for us watching NHL outside North America? Will the ESPN+ app go global? Or will it mean we have to pay more money for more separate subscriptions in the long term…? Presented by Clare Freeman, Jolon Kemp Walker and Matt Day. Produced by ASFB Productions.…

Who's in and who's out? Playoff predictions are back...and we look closer at the super tight races for fourth place the West and Central divisions. Will Arizona Coyotes tip St Louis Blues? Will Nashville Predators take out a battered and bruised Dallas Stars team? Over in the East, the seedings are all to play for between Washington Capitals, New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins. But who will take the fourth spot - Boston Bruins or New York Rangers? And in the North, could this weekend's three game series between Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames be a key decider in whether the Habs can hold on to fourth in the division a little longer? Also, a new man crush has been forever carved in NHL history, as San Jose Sharks' Patrick Marleau takes the crown for the most number of NHL games played from Gordie Howe. And could there be a drafting nightmare as the OHL cancels its season? Presented by Clare Freeman and Jolon Kemp Walker. Produced by ASFB Productions.
