Down the 5: A Hockey Podcast

02 | Pacific Division Upside Down, Plus Mascot Trivia

Zach and Chris take on the trade deadline, the anonymous players' poll (turns out, everyone thinks Crosby is good — a shock, we know), and hash out our expectations for the rest of the season. Also, with the Ducks and Kings still in the throes of a dismal season, we *try* to see the light. Like, really, really hard.

04 | The Gang Gets Another Coach Fired, Talks Trade Deadline

After an (accidental) hiatus, we're back to discuss how bad this season has been for Southern California hockey. The curse of coaches being fired right after recording the episode continues, and we discuss what we would do if we were GMs. Also, listen to the end to find out how much weight Chris has been packing on. He's proud of it. Follow us on Twitter! Podcast: @DownThe5Podcast Zach: @ZachRisinger Chris: @bigpancakeguy

03 | Don't Call It a Comeback

The first episode! Your hosts Zach and Chris discuss the 2017-2018 NHL season, make some bold predictions, and talk about which teams we would rebrand if we had the chance. We're excited to be here. Follow us on Twitter! Podcast: @DownThe5Podcast Zach: @ZachRisinger Chris: @bigpancakeguy
