Anyone who wants to hear stories about the REAL LIFE in the NHL...

...should listen to the podcast Missin Curfew with ex-NHLers Shane O'Brien, Scottie Upshall and the recently deceased Jimmy Hayes (older brother of Kevin Hayes). It's like Spittin' Chicklets but with less Boston.

If you don't want to listen to every episode (they're long but IMO totally worth it), check out episodes 56 and 57 which are the highlights of the first year of the podcast. There are great stories from lots of NHLers, including Mike Richards and Sean Avery.

Besides being great entertainment, it's gives good insight as to what really happens on teams and IMO explains why things aren't always the way they appear to be to fans.

Other than those two, these hockey podcasts are worth my time:

Hockey Central (Jeff Marek, Justin Bourne, and often Anthony Stewart...Brian Burke was a host until Pitt hired him)
31 Thoughts (Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek)
The Hockey Show (The Athletic rotation of Craig Custance, Pierre LeBrun, Hailey Salvian, and others)
NHL Draft Class (Adam Kimelman and Mike Morreale)
@TheRink (Dan Rosen and Shawn Roarke)
Puck Soup (Greg Wyshynski, Sean (Down Goes Brown) McIndoe, and Ryan Lambert)
Real Kyper (Nick Kypreos)
Ray & Dregs (Ray Ferraro and Darren Dreger)

And I sprinkle in some old Matthew Barnaby and Sean Avery's "No Gruffs Given" (renamed from No f**** Given). I'm going to start The DFO Rundown (Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravelli and Jason Gregor).

Feel free to post other good hockey podcasts and if anyone knows how to find the old episodes of Point Breakaway let me know.

I listened to Spittin' Chicklets once when Richards was on. He would not discuss the situation when he left the Kings so I was a bit disappointed. I've always been curious about that.

I'd should probably listen to the Avery episodes. That dude has a screw loose or he really is into fashion shows for real.

I try to listen to Biz and Whit and the boys when they have someone good on. Great interviews and the stories told on their podcast are amazing. Shane Corson, Chris Nilan and other old timers were just amazing interviews.

Man, I don't have time to listen to all these podcasts. I need a Best of Hockey podcast that pulls out the highlights.

Then listen to the last 2 Missin Curfew...

If you like to hear stories on enforces then, John Scott's Dropping the gloves is pretty good
