Puck Soup Podcast: Doc Emrick on Pierre McGuire, Stanley Cup Final, glow puck

(WARNING: STRONG ADULT LANGUAGE AND HUMOR. LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.)

PUCK SOUP is the new hockey podcast on the Nerdist network for Puck Daddy editor Greg Wyshynski and Dave Lozo of Vice Sports, Uproxx and The Comeback. This is a hockey podcast, in the sense that the talk about hockey, both on the ice and about fan culture. That’s the “puck.” This is also a podcast about movies, TV, fast food, life lessons and general idiocy. That’s the “soup."

In Episode 9, Mike “Doc” Emrick of NBC Sports talks about the Stanley Cup Final, how to balance chemistry with TV analysts, what we should actually like about Pierre McGuire, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the glow puck and the gender politics of the remote control.

That, plus Greg and Dave on the San Jose Sharks vs. the Pittsburgh Penguins, Logan Couture’s whining about Sidney Crosby, whether neutral fans should cheer for Pittsburgh or San Jose, rants about the World Cup, expansion, the NHL in the Olympics, “Now You See Me 2,” and a horrific story about a cleaning lady that drank Wysh’s Russian vodka and now Lozo wants to marry her.

(PLEASE NOTE: There's a slight echo on Wysh's voice in the first segment, but the rest of the audio is fine.)
