We're brothers who played hockey in global showcases, elite prep schools, and top level juniors, before flaming out into the beer leaguers who sit before you. Now we're podcast hosts bringing you the best news, analysis, & interviews in the hockey world. From Jack Eichel to PK Subban to Jeremy Swayman to Chris Chelios, Empty Netters is the place where the biggest names in the sport come to talk hockey, play games, and snap it around tape to tape. Welcome to your favorite NHL player's favorite podcast. We've got the effortless chemistry (and pure hatred) that only years on the ice can build. Do you think Datsyuk has the best hands in the history of the league? Do you think Sidney Crosby is somehow underrated? Do you think every goalie should have to wear the Hasek helmet? Same. Let's hang. We drop new pod episodes every Tuesday and Thursday, along with plenty of other YouTube content. Hit us up any time. Until then, skate hard.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-13T06:20:41.318762+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/empty-netters-podcast-5731394"},"episode":{"title":"NHL Playoff Preview: Eastern and Western Conference w/ Alec Martinez","slug":"nhl-playoff-preview-eastern-and-western-conference-w-alec-martinez","published_at":"2026-04-18T00:55:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/empty-netters-podcast-5731394/nhl-playoff-preview-eastern-and-western-conference-w-alec-martinez","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/empty-netters-podcast-5731394","url":"https://pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/mgln.ai/e/1319/clrtpod.com/m/traffic.megaphone.fm/AFM2985119754.mp3","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/mgln.ai/e/1319/clrtpod.com/m/traffic.megaphone.fm/AFM2985119754.mp3","summary":"The boys are joined by Alec Martinez to break down the matchups in the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals, Dan wears a fun hat, while Chris tells us how he broke his hand in beer league.
