Double D-Fense Hockey Podcast

We're back, and we've got A LOT to catch up on! After some recent travels, we're swapping stories, recapping our adventures, and getting right back into the hockey madness. Christine made it to TWO Rangers games at Madison Square Garden (because once is never enough!), while we're both catching up on everything we've missed around the league. We also have some unfortunate news to discuss: Igor Shesterkin's season-ending injury and what it means for the Rangers moving forward. Plus, we're checking in on the latest NHL storylines, teams making noise, and all the drama, surprises, and questionable decisions keeping us entertained. Travel stories, hockey talk, and a little Double D-Fense attitude. You know the drill! 🏒💁‍♀️ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

THE RANGERS HAVE A GOALIE WHO SCORES GOALS. WE REPEAT: THE GOALIE SCORED A GOAL. The hockey season is officially underway, and Double D-Fense has A LOT to say. We’re kicking things off with the New York Rangers, who apparently decided their home opener needed a little history. We’re breaking down that AMAZING win, Igor Shesterkin’s historic goalie goal (yes, THAT happened), and whether the Rangers are giving us actual reasons to be optimistic… or if we’re once again setting ourselves up for emotional damage. 💙❤️ Then we’re taking a lap around the NHL to talk about everything that’s caught our attention during Week 1 — the surprises, the drama, the teams looking scary good, and the teams already making us ask, “Uhhh… you good?” And because we believe women can, in fact, talk about more than one hockey league at a time… 👩‍🦰🏒 PWHL UPDATE! We’re checking in on the women’s game as the PWHL gets ready for another huge season, with plenty to be excited about heading into the new year. So grab your jersey, pour yourself something strong, and D-FENSE with us as we talk Rangers, NHL chaos, PWHL news, and all the hockey opinions you didn't ask for but definitely need. 😏 Double D-Fense: because hockey is better when you have two opinions, zero chill, and absolutely no interest in keeping them to ourselves. #DoubleDFense #NHL #NYR #NYRangers #Rangers #PWHL #WomensHockey #HockeyPodcast #HockeyTok #LetsGoRangers Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hockey is officially back—and naturally, things are already getting weird. 🏒 On this episode of Double D-Fense, we’re breaking down the NHL preseason and asking the question every fan is thinking: is it actually worth it? With players risking injury before a single regular-season point is on the line, we look at some of the biggest preseason injuries and debate whether those exhibition games are necessary—or just an expensive way to get hurt. We’re also talking suspensions and discipline from around the league, plus some of the wildest new NHL rules for the 2026–27 season. Basically: hockey is back, nobody knows all the rules yet, and we have questions. 😂 Plus: our takes, our complaints, and whatever NHL chaos happens to find us this week.

Women’s sports is booming — but where is the digital home for the fans? In this episode of Double D-Fense, we sit down with Dana from shescoressports.app, a new app designed specifically for women’s sports fans. Dana tells us what inspired her to create SheScores, what she believes is missing from the current sports landscape, and why she thinks women’s sports deserves its own dedicated digital ecosystem. We talk about everything from following scores and discovering new sports to building community, connecting fans, and the incredible growth of women’s sports. We also dive into the future of women’s hockey, the rise of the PWHL, and how technology could change the way fans discover and engage with the athletes and teams they love. Plus, Dana shares her vision for where SheScores could go next — and what she hopes to build for the next generation of women’s sports fans.
