From Center Ice:
The Podcast
Episode 47 - Training Camp
From Center Ice Shorty Episode #1 is all about the Blackhawks Training Camp and the news we had up until last week!
Episode 45 - MARIAN HOSSA!
MARIAN HOSSA IS IN THE HALL OF FAME! WE TURNED A YEAR OLD! THERE ARE NEW BABIES! Plus, the NHL is still full of nonsense concerning the return to play.
Episode 43 - HOCKEY IS BACK...ISH! (Feat. Mario Tirabassi)
We are back with another episode finally, and there is news to talk about! The NHL and NHLPA have agreed on a return-to-play format involving 24 teams. This includes our Chicago Blackhawks! Hockey writer (and fantastic Twitter follow), Mario Tirabassi, joins us this week to talk about what hockey returning may look like, the risk factor, and who may make the roster to play against the Edmonton Oilers!
Episode 41 - The Lucky & The Screwed
We're back! We have some signings to chat about and discuss which teams got screwed the most this year, and which ones got lucky with the season being paused and potentially cancelled!
Episode 39 - Quarantine Edition
We are stuck in Quarantine. We are losing our minds. There is no hockey. But, we're trying our best.
Episode 38 - Hockey, No Longer
There is still no hockey. But, there is still us. Yes, maybe we ranted a bit about how people are ridiculously selfish, but there is some hockey news in here too. It's worth the listen.
Episode 37.5 - The Update
We wanted to briefly touch on the news around the sports world. NHL, AHL, ECHL, and all major hockey leagues are suspended until further notice.
Episode 34 - Thank you, Robin! (Trade Deadline Pt.1)
The NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone. We had to split our deadline episodes into two separate ones. Here in part one, we cover the moves that the Blackhawks made (or didn't make).
Episode 33 - Tiny Tendies
This week, From Center Ice kinda turned into a food podcast. Or, a food argument podcast. Or an argument. Honestly, I don't really know what happened this week. We were very passionate about a lot of things. In typical fashion, we flew around the league covering different topics and landing back in Northern Illinois to be thoroughly disappointed in the Blackhawks and pleasantly surprised with IceHogs.
Episode 32 - That’s The Slogo
The battle of Alberta didn't disappoint! We take a journey around the league to look at the different storylines. We touch on the scandalous Super Bowl Halftime Show. Then, we reluctantly make our way back to Illinois to talk about the Chicago Blackhawks and the unfortunate Rockford IceHogs. THINGS ARE NOT GOING WELL.
Episode 31 - This Week Sucked!
This week sucked! The Blackhawks and IceHogs went winless. There was a severe lack of hockey due to the All-Star break. AND it won't stop snowing!!! ARGH! But, alas, we are here to talk about it.
Episode 30 - Where Is Massachusetts?
This week, we cover another coach firing (Gerard Gallant), injuries around the league, and then circle back around to the broken Rockford IceHogs and the fixed Chicago Blackhawks. Why must these teams hurt is so?!
Episode 29 - The Leafs Are Screwed
This week, we travel around the league chatting injuries and the Matthew Tkachuk/Zack Kassian kerfuffle. Then we bring it back and talk about the disjointed IceHogs and whether or not Robin Lehner should take a discount to stay with the Blackhawks.
Episode 28 - Strange Butts
This week started off by going off the rails and ended by going off the rails. In between, we talked about being abandoned by Philip Holm, all of our teams are broken, and Collin Delia being good at goalie-ing again.
Episode 27 - Ice Is Cold
We chat about recent hockey news. But, then we put a nice bow on this golden decade of Blackhawks Hockey. It's been a wild ride and deserves to be remembered. We go over the playoffs, the signings, the trades, and so much more.
Episode 26 - We’re Back!
We accidentally took two weeks off. BUT WE'RE BACK! We talk about our adventure to the East Coast and whatever the heck the Blackhawks are doing. The IceHogs are doing pretty okay though!
Episode 25 - Why Do We Like This Sport?!
We hoped for a peaceful week, but a peaceful week is not what we got. We talk about more coach accusations with Babcock, Bill Peters, and Marc Crawford.
Episode 24 - Excuse Me, What?
Oh this week is a big one. There has been a lot that's happened in the hockey world this past week. We discuss suspensions, Mike Babcock and Mitch Marner, the Sheldon Keefe Era, the Blackhawks, shootouts, Toews needs to be stripped of the C, and then we land softly on the IceHogs.
Episode 23 - Things Are Going Well . . .
We talk Versteeg, Gilbert, the three goalie system, and the off and on wins for the Hogs. We also chat a win streak, some point streaks, and Kirbaliciousness for the Hawks!
Episode 22 - No Dump and Stare!
On this week's episode we discover that the IceHogs can only win at home when Courtney is there. They break their winning streak but begin a new one against the Wolves.
