It’s the season finale of Biscuits, which features a discussion about Tom Wilson’s new contract, the notion that Jarome Iginla somehow isn’t a first-ballot Hall of Famer, the sudden departure of Trevor Linden from the Canucks, the arbitration hearings for William Karlsson, Mark Stone and Cody Ceci and some reader questions to take us into the offseason. 

Biscuits: A Hockey Podcast

The Last One

The big news from this past week in the NHL was the arbitration hearing of Jacob Trouba and the arbitration hearing of Matt Dumba that never happened. Each player received new contracts and Sean and Dave are here to talk about them in between mentions of baseball and softball. Also: Sean is confused by six teams heading into next season, and Dave is here to offer absolutely no help for clearing things up. 

Arbitration Station

Sean and Dave are here to be your July hockey podcast and this week is full of contract extensions and new deals — Marc-Andre Fleury’s bad one, Connor Hellebuyck’s long one, Adam Henrique’s expensive one, Elias Lindholm’s risky one and Juuse Saros’ smart one. Also: The heroism of Marian Hossa accepting a trade to Arizona, just trade Erik Karlsson already, saying goodbye to Ray Emery and casting an Ocean’s 11 movie with hockey players on the fly. 

Extending the Podcast

Dave and Sean react to breaking news of the Nikita Kucherov extension, the lack of an Erik Karlsson trade, Shea Weber's secret injury, Artemi Panarin's honesty and lots more in a nice episode of Biscuits.

Nik of Time

Sean and Dave are here to talk free agency but mostly about John Tavares surprising everyone and choosing the Leafs and breaking the hearts of the Islanders and their fans who aren’t handling this very well. Also: Drew Doughty’s deal, Ryan O’Reilly’s trade and the Erik Karlsson trade to Tampa that has definitely already happened or won’t happen at all. 

The Tavares Betrayal (and Erik Karlsson)

The prize of the 2018 free-agent class is holding court in Los Angeles, and Sean and Dave are here to tell you exactly where John Tavares will sign and how teams will attempt to woo him. Also: Draft weekend recap, trading elite players that like museums, signing John Carlson to a mega-deal, the booing of Gary Bettman in Dallas and a look at how the Canucks can replace the Sedins in free agency. 

John Tavares Sweepstakes

Sean and Dave were lucky enough to record a new episode before Mike Hoffman’s trade to San Jose and the trade a few minutes later to Florida. Does this mean Erik Karlsson stays in Ottawa? Are the Senators screwed no matter what? What do they do with the pick they owe the Avs? And in non-Senators news, we’ve got Barry Trotz jumping ship, another questionable Canadiens trade, the future of John Tavares and who would play Kyle Dubas in a Leafs promotional video?

Where In The World Is Mike Hoffman?

Alex Ovechkin and his blood-alcohol levels have been the stars since the Washington Capitals won their first Stanley Cup last week, and Sean and Dave are here to talk about how it all went down and what comes next this offseason. There’s also a look ahead to the big storylines heading into free agency, including John Carlson, Ilya Kovalchuk, Erik Karlsson, Milan Lucic and why in the world would Oliver Ekman-Larsson sign up for eight more years in Arizona. Also: The Sedins. 

Capping It Off

The Washington Capitals are one win from a Stanley Cup and despite Sean and Dave picking the Caps to win in a sweep, only one is ready to say this series is over. This episode is a Final extravaganza with a breakdown of Games 3 and 4, the idea of puck luck, officiating when embellishment is rampant, scratching David Perron and leaning on Ryan Reaves, Barry Trotz’s future, the idea that Alex Ovechkin is a “different” player than years past and whether the Caps should want to win the Cup in Las Vegas or at home in front of their fans. Also: Reader mail, runner-up parades and how stinking rich will John Carlson be in a few weeks. 

Final Countdown

It’s 1-1 in what has been an extremely fun, fast-paced Stanley Cup Final, so of course Sean and Dave spend a good portion of the show talking about Tom Wilson being an idiot and referees showing a level of incompetence rarely witnessed in any profession. But there’s also the Braden Holtby save, Evgeny Kuznetsov’s potentially series-changing injury, pregame theatrics and a poorly executed 5-on-3 power play. And Dave does everything he can to read his short story about the valor and wonder of the Sedin twins while Sean makes a big announcement (he has a book coming in October so go pre-order it).

Final Destination

The Stanley Cup Final we all predicted before the season – Capitals vs Golden Knights - is set to begin Monday and Sean and Dave are here to offer irrelevant predictions. Why is it irrelevant? Sean thinks it’s because Vegas has revealed the NHL to be a series of random, unpredictable events while Dave’s opinions on Vegas stopped mattering a long time ago. Also: A look back at what went wrong for the Lightning and right for the Caps in Game 7, a discussion about Jon Cooper’s future, Evander Kane’s contract with the Sharks, Lou Lamoriello’s impact on John Tavares staying with the Islanders, and Henrik/Daniel talk. 

Ovechkin vs. Vegas

The Caps are throttling the Lightning and Sean wants to know if Dave would like to get back on the Washington bandwagon. Kyle Dubas is officially the new Leafs GM and Sean has feelings about it. Also: The crowd in Winnipeg, how to sing-song a goalie properly, trading Lundqvist for Rinne, using replay for high sticking calls and a look back at the Sedins in the 2011 playoffs, the last time a Canadian team reached the Stanley Cup Final. 

Conference Call

Sean and Dave bask in the glow of Dave’s genius, which was confirmed yet again by the Caps beating the Penguins in six games to reach the conference finals. There’s also a look back at the Lightning and Golden Knights advancing, Brad Marchand’s wayward tongue, Fleury and Vegas revisionist history, predictions for Game 7 of Jets-Preds, marveling at the coincidence that Hurricanes legend Rod Brind’Amour was the most qualified person to coach the Hurricanes, Mike Babcock’s totally planned and not at all forced visit to Arizona to see Auston Matthews and, because people were getting upset, we finally get around to talking about the Sedins.  

Capitals Beat the Penguins as Dave Lozo Predicted a Month Ago

Sean and Dave discuss the great second-round series that have featured outstanding action and horrendous officiating but Sean also says goodbye to his Leafs and hello to the (likely) new GM. Also: Ron Francis is Milton from Office Space, mascots at the draft lottery show and an exclusive interview with Canucks legend Henrik Sedin. 

DGB: A Maple Leafs Funeral

The Bruins have let a 3-1 lead slip away and now we have a Game 7 with the Leafs. Who will win? What is Sean’s level of dread? What is Dave’s level of enjoyment at the expense of Sean? Plus: A look ahead to the second round, why this is finally the year the Capitals beat the Penguins, Bill Peters fleeing to Calgary, Chuck Fletcher out in Minnesota, Player Safety videos and an in-depth discussion about the Sedins and their place in hockey lore. 

Leaf Blowers

Biscuits, a podcast on VICE Sports, takes an analytical, irreverent, and humorous look at the world of hockey and the NHL. Listen as hosts Sean McIndoe (of Down Goes Brown fame) and Dave Lozo react to the week's biggest stories and most absurd news.
