Stick 'Em Up is a brisk, conversational NHL show with a comic edge and a real appetite for the league’s messy middle. The show is not just reacting to scores. It is watching the machinery behind them: general managers getting fired, deadline choices aging badly, playoff odds tightening, protected picks creating weird incentives, and coaches losing the room one strange practice clip at a time. A typical discussion can begin with Patrick Alveen in Vancouver, shift into Quinn Hughes and JT Miller, then become a broader argument about whether the Canucks ever had a coherent plan. Seattle gets treated the same way. Ron Francis stepping aside opens the door to a larger read on expansion expectations, Shane Wright, Matty Beneers, and why buying at the deadline can make a front office look stranded. The show likes the standings because the standings create pressure. Buffalo finally clinching, the Rangers getting eliminated, the Kings fighting for a wild-card spot, or Ottawa trying to hold on all become fuel for practical hockey talk. It can be blunt. It can also be unexpectedly generous, especially when the conversation turns toward appreciating greatness instead of flattening every player comparison into insult. That mix matters. Stick 'Em Up can joke about fan behavior, mock a bad management call, and still pause to respect careers like Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Tyler Myers, or Yaramir Yager. The format feels like two regular voices arguing toward clarity rather than performing a fixed take. Details get checked. Numbers get revised. A confident claim may get softened, then rebuilt with better context. The result is a show for hockey fans who enjoy the chaos but still care about why it is happening. It is especially strong on NHL roster logic, playoff positioning, front-office accountability, injuries, suspensions, and the emotional weirdness of following teams that keep making the same mistakes.
Made for: For NHL fans who track standings, trades, injuries, coaching drama, and fan discourse closely enough to enjoy a fast argument without a long setup. It fits listeners who want comedy and blunt opinion alongside actual roster and playoff analysis.
What sets it apart: Stick 'Em Up stands out by letting the take develop in public: a headline gets challenged, corrected, compared, and pushed until the hockey logic is clearer. The comedy stays close to the analysis instead of replacing it.
