The boys are back and the Bruins are buzzing to start the year and talk hockey. We break down Boston’s 3–1 start — from Elias Lindholm’s smooth fit to Mittelstadt’s impact, Zacha’s strong play, both goalies holding it down, and the depth finally showing up. Powerplay? Clicking. PK? Locked in. Vibes? Immaculate.

Mike’s fresh off an Italian adventure and shares some travel chaos (including the art of not talking on planes), plus we get into the hunt for a new car and some quick hits from around the NHL. It’s a little Bruins therapy, a little life talk, and a whole lotta gross.

With our fearless host Mike off exploring the pasta, wine, and history of Italy for the next couple of weeks, Jake and JB are stepping up to keep the ship sailing—and the takes flowing. Just because one of us is living the dream doesn’t mean the hockey world slows down, and there’s a lot to cover this week.

In this episode, the boys dive deep into the latest buzz around the league, starting with some major recent signings that have already started shaping the upcoming season. From surprising contract numbers to teams making bold moves, Jake and JB give their unfiltered reactions and what it all might mean heading into the first puck drop.

Closer to home, they break down what the Boston Bruins' Game 1 roster might look like. Will the lineup bring the grit, speed, and skill fans are hoping for? Or are there still question marks that need answers? Whether you're a die-hard B’s fan or just love solid hockey talk, there’s plenty here for you.

And of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without a few classic stories from the rink—including some pickup hockey moments that were equal parts chaotic, hilarious, and painfully relatable.

Expect laughs, questionable takes, and that signature “gross hockey boys” energy we’ve built this show on.

Thanks as always for tuning in—we appreciate every one of you for riding with us. We’re fired up for the season ahead, and even with Mike overseas, the hockey talk doesn’t stop. Let’s go!

Oh and ya, keep an eye out for some more Gross Hockey Merch...

The preseason is underway and the boys are buzzing. Mike, JB, and Jake are back – and this time we’ve got our buddy "Meis" joining the show, bringing some stats, betting lines, and plenty of hot takes. We kick things off with early thoughts on preseason action before diving into season predictions across the NHL, including which teams could surprise and who might fall off.

We get into the Bruins – what they look like heading into the year, and why there’s definitely “Sum 2 Prove in Boston.” Then we go around the league with breakout player picks, too early Cup Final predictions, and bold calls on teams that haven’t made it recently but could sneak in this year.

The guys also chop it up about players labeled as those who “can’t win” – like Matthews and Marner – and debate whether that narrative is fair, if other sports have similar storylines, or if it’s something unique to hockey.

On top of that, we mix in some laughs:

• The biggest scumbags in sports history (inside and outside hockey)

• The dumbest things we’ve ever done, and the learning moments that came with them

Packed with hockey talk, betting chatter, and plenty of Gross humor, this one sets the stage for the season ahead.
