Podcasting from the comfort of their own homes due to outrageous gas prices keeping Connie and Finny from driving to their “makeshift studio”, the duo talks about all the lastest happenings around the league including a number of signings and hirings around the league before recapping the Cup Finals. Both girls share their takes, then play audio clips from Steph and Elly of NPI Hockey (http://npi-hockey.blogspot.com) — a Detroit fan and a Pittsburgh fan, respectively.

As usual, questions and comments can be directed to imnotapuckbunny[at]gmail.com

Former Deseronto Storm forward Brad Meyers joins Connie and Finny in their makeshift studio to talk Stanley Cup Playoffs! The girls give some league-wide updates about the World Championships, a couple signings [Jeremy Roenick w/ SJ, Chris Simon w/ a Russian team], and the latest news from the Kings and Ducks. After that, they do a quick wrap-up of the Eastern and Western Conference Finals with Pittsburgh and Detroit emerging as the conference champions, respectively. Considering the teams to be well-matched, the trio had a difficult time predicting a clear-cut winner for the upcoming Stanley Cup Final, but they talked about the strengths and weaknesses for each squad before picking their favorites.

Following all the pro-talk, the girls pick Brad’s brain about everything from playing junior hockey in Canada to which NHLer(s) get his squee! They ask him about his experiences playing hockey in California and Canada as well as attempt to get an player’s take on things.

Any further questions for Brad are welcomed, as he will return later in the summer to take part in another INAPB episode! Any questions for the girls are also encouraged. You can direct all questions/comments to imnotapuckbunny@gmail.com.

Welcome to round 3!  The fangirls get together with Sherry of Scarlett Ice (http://scarlettice.blogspot.com), Steph of NPI (http://npi-hockey.blogspot.com), and Cat of Untypical Girls (http://untypicalgirls.wordpress.com) for a random and humorous conversation about the East and West Conference Finals.  Connie gives league wide updates while Finny simultaneously worked on updating the Squee Cup stats.  In the league wide updates, Connie reviews the nominees for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, a few signings, and a few firings.

Next week, we expect to have a very special guest join us in our INAPB HQ.  Brad Meyers, formerly of the Desoronto Storm, will be hanging out to talk about his experiences playing hockey and how he plans to make it to the Show.  As a Southern California native, Brad is a self-professed Kings fan, and will be available to answer questions from listeners.  If you have a question, email us at imnotapuckbunny@gmail.com.

At the moment Finny is sick and isn’t sounding like herself, so Connie takes the reigns and welcomes Teka from http://www.talkhockeytome.com/.  Steph from http://npi-hockey.blogspot.com/ was not able to join the girls due to technical difficulties but were able to get some recordings from her that ended up in the episode.  So she makes a showing and the girls are grateful they were able to get her on the show somehow!

McP makes a short appearance as well in the form of an email since she was having technical difficulties as well.  She dishes on her WHL team, the Tri City Americans, and lets the girls know she still loves her Sharks.

Connie and Teka discuss the news around the NHL and take a quick peek into the goings on in the IIHF World Championships, then Teka fills the listener in on what’s going on with the AHL playoffs, which includes her Hershey Bears being taken out of the race to the Calder Cup.  The girls then return to the NHL playoffs and review the 2nd round and preview the 3rd round match ups.  The shoutouts are given after the discussions, which are their usual short and sweet selves.

Please direct any questions or comments to imnotapuckbunny[at]gmail[dot]com.

Connie and Finny are joined this week by Nadine of flyerfemme.blogspot.com and Christina and Kerri of somelikeitblue.blogspot.com. We first go over the league-wide updates and then we review the games from the 2nd round. We finish by getting a true New York perspective of what exactly is on Jaromir Jagr’s face and how Sean Avery’s spleen is doing.

Connie and Finny went McP-less this week but brought in Steph from http://npi-hockey.blogspot.com and Cat from http://untypicalgirls.wordpress.com to talk about the first round of playoffs and to preview round two. Before they kick off the wrap-ups for the Conference Quarterfinals, Connie updates everyone on non-playoff news including the nominees for the Vezina, the Norris, and the Calder trophy. After dishing about the quarterfinals, the girls delve into the previews for the second round which features the teams of both of our guests!

The fangirls forgot to mention it on the podcast, but they’d like to invite the bloggers representing eliminated teams to email us at imnotapuckbunny@gmail.com a “Dear Team” letter/Yearbook Entry (3-5 sentences). If your team has already been eliminated, please feel free to email us anyway so we can read it on the podcast next week!

Connie and Finny tackle the Playoff conference quarterfinals as all series were underway league-wide. After a brief update on the happenings for non-playoff teams, the girls dive into the Eastern and Western Conference Quarterfinals with the help of our special guests, Elise from http://18568reasonswhy.blogspot.com (reppin’ Minne) and Christina (Lucky13) from http://somelikeitblue.blogspot.com (reppin’ NYR). After talking about each of the Eastern series with a spotlight on the NJ/NYR, the fangirls laugh at Sean Avery (as per usual) for his antics in front of Marty Brodeur while Christina attempted to defend him. A discussion about the Western Conference series follows with emphasis on the MIN/COL and ANA/DAL series. The girls wind down with a brief roundhouse discussion on the refereeing in the playoffs as well as the scheduling of NHL games in the States.

Lastly, there’s a quick update on the Squee Cup standings for the HLOGgers (plus guests).

**NOTE: Finny indicated that during Game 1, Anaheim fans were not allowed to watch warm-ups at the glass, but forgot to mention that the management reversed the decision to allow fans to support the team during warm-ups for Game 2.

With the regular season behind them, the Cup Craze is ready to sweep through INAPB HQ.  Connie and Finny were joined by fellow HLOGgers Cat (from Untypical Girls) and Acid Queen (from Sweet Tea, BBQ, and Body Checks) to talk about each of the first round match ups and make their picks.  In addition, a humorous twist on the traditional playoff brackets gets the fangirls talking about the players that earn their SQUEE!  It’s a fun-filled hour that features a wee bit of verbal sparring between Dallas fan Cat and Anaheim loyalist Finny.

May the best team win it all.

They skim over the end of the regular season for the Ducks and Kings, touch on the NHL draft picks, and the Kings end of the season awards. In this week’s edition of Mailbag, the girls address an email from listener Megan regarding how they gained their hockey knowledge and whether or not they picked it up quickly.
