Stick Talk Hockey

In Episode 144 of Stick Talk Hockey, we start the show the way we always do, breaking down the biggest stories from around the hockey world. We dive into the coaching carousel with Bruce Cassidy out and John Tortorella stepping in, discuss Brad Treliving finally being relieved of his duties in Toronto, and talk about the Radko Gudas and Max Domi situation after Gudas’ hit ended Auston Matthews’ season. But this episode is different. After the news and hockey talk, we make an announcement that’s not easy to make. After four years, nearly 150 episodes, countless debates, drafts, rankings, and ridiculous segments, Episode 144 will be the last episode of Stick Talk Hockey. We spend the rest of the episode looking back on the show. Our favourite episodes, favourite moments, and how it grew into something we never really expected when we first hit record. Most importantly, we take the time to thank everyone who listened, supported the show, came on as guests, and helped make Stick Talk Hockey what it became. This one is a thank you, a goodbye, and a look back at four unbelievable years. This podcast was hosted by Tiko Raspy and YoursTrilly, recorded by Jonesy Amos, and edited by Tiko Raspy.

This week we take a trip down memory lane, talking about some of our favourite Stanley Cup winners and some of the all-time “shoulda, coulda, woulda” Cup runs that fell just short.

We wrap things up with our weekly wildcard update and take a moment to pay our respects to Jessi Pierce & her family.

We kick things off with a heated debate over Radko Gudas’ season-ending knee-on-knee hit on Auston Matthews, and whether the suspension that followed was actually long enough. From there, we react to a couple of the biggest clips making the rounds this week, including Nathan MacKinnon running Connor Ingram and Connor Bedard calling game in style. Then we get into some bigger-picture discussion. First, tiko unveils a conspiracy theory about who might really be to blame for Canada’s recent international struggles. Finally, we wrap things up with a deep dive into goaltending, asking the big question: is sexy goaltending dead, and will it ever come back?

The dust hasn’t settled. This week, we dig into the political antics and fallout surrounding Team USA’s Olympic win, and how the off-ice narrative may have reshaped the story of these Games. What should have been a pure hockey moment has turned into something bigger, and we unpack what that means for the team's legacy. From there, we shift gears to the upcoming NHL Trade Deadline, playing a round of over/unders on what we think will (and won’t) happen.

It’s a tough one. We’re reacting to the Olympic Gold Medal game where Canada falls to the USA in devastating overtime fashion, despite outplaying them for much of the night. We break down what went right, what went wrong, and how a game that felt within reach slipped away at the worst possible moment. Make no mistake, this is still Canada’s game. But on this night, it was America’s moment. We unpack the heartbreak, the turning points, and what this result means moving forward.
