ESPN’s NHL reporter Emily Kaplan joins Madeline and Charlotte to talk about the biggest and best storylines heading into the 2025-2026 hockey season that kicked off on Tuesday. Did you know that there are a ton of brothers playing in the league? That the players fight to defend each other? That Brad Marchand’s current team hated him before he joined it? That Sidney Crosby took a player to get his hair cut? That the NHL is like a family? That WAGs take their jackets very seriously?

If you’re looking to get into hockey, Emily’s fun stories and facts about the guys on the ice are a great place to start. The season kicked off on Tuesday, so there’s no better time to brush up on the narratives.

Plus: Madeline and Charlotte recap their trip to Buffalo, which included a trip to Niagara Falls, a fiasco at a restaurant where they tried to order wings, and a visit to SGS listener Christina’s amazing tailgate! Thank you to Christina and thank you to Buffalo! The gals will certainly be back.
