Disaster season previously dissected, Carolyn & Merrin try to find the bright spots of 17-18. Did you know that Jamie Benn is good at hockey? Also, Alain Vigneault, playoff cheering guide, extending Tyler Seguin, Merrin insults everyone, Carolyn needs a shower, and DHH officially sells out! It’s the podcast that will totally bite its brother.

It’s a very special episode! The Stars have lost 8 in a row and everyone wants to know why. Merrin has mimosas and Carolyn goes straight for the bottle. Together, they tackle poor life choices, poor line choices, the spiderman death vortex, and potential coaching replacements. Also no one speaks Finnish, and everyone loves terrible television. Nice!
The Dallas Stars are meh, and to top it off Martin Hanzal is out for the season (and for that matter, so is Ron Francis). Carolyn & Merrin talk goaltender interference, women’s hockey, Girl Scout cookies, and try to figure out how we can ascend to beings of pure light and energy. It’s the podcast that asks: How can we really embrace the trash person inside of all of us?
And here is a link to Cassie Campbell’s epic women’s hockey rant, as mentioned in the podcast.
It’s the trade deadline! The Stars aren’t making anyone proud (but at least they’re not St. Louis). Team Chaos is alive and well, there are no good choices, Carolyn goes to a very dark place, and Merrin hates your baby. How much brisket would it take to land Max Pacioretty?
Also, Merrin mentioned a really good cause on the podcast: If you want to donate to a Donor’s Choose campaign to fill a 2nd grade classroom with books about inclusion, click this link.
And if you’re interested in VanHAC (March 2-4) and you don’t have tickets yet, click this link. Want to come to VanHAC but can’t afford it? Reach out to Carolyn on twitter! We have a few tickets in reserve for just this instance! Hockey (Analytics) are for everyone.
In which the Montreal Canadiens are embarrassing and the Dallas Stars are not. Plus, trade deadline, Olympics, players we love to hate, units of measurement, mustache rides and more. We don’t think you’re ready for this jelly.
Supplemental materials:
Correction: Merrin fact checked herself and Brendan Gallagher was not on the 2009 WJC team for Canada, that was only Colton Teubert and PK Subban.
The Tyler Seguin playlist (it is at least 0.75 Tyler Seguins worth of dudebro)
It’s science hour with Carolyn & Merrin! Yes, the Stars are doing well, but so is everyone else in the Central. Also: top-pair Pateryn, the mayonnaise league, and pomade-adjusted weights. It’s the episode that we have to apologize for! No, really, we’re sorry, y’all.
It a star-studded podcast as Carolyn & Merrin are joined by some of Stars Twitter’s funniest fans and writers. Together, they talk Ken Hitchcock, Hogwarts professor, Klingberg for Norris, the Peter Chiarelli Memorial Award, and the latest trends in fashion.
Big thanks to @damnitjason, @TaylorDBaird, @RobertTiffin and @Holly_Holl for joining!
