Sportculation

Welcome to Up The Boards! A show about hockey and all of it's stupidity and fun brought by hockey fans. Host by Yusuf Rashid and Tyler Richmond, Up The Boards is the hockey specific baby brother to SportCulation.

With our friend Peter joining us, we discuss the Vancouver dumpster fire, the Ottawa Senators curse, How the divisions are looking more than a quarter of the way done, the projected olympic teams for USA, Sweden, Canada, and Russia, and finally - whether or not we like the Nashville Stadium series jerseys.

It's the most wonderful time of the year - Hockey season. Tyler and Yusuf sit down and start debating over who finishes well in each division, who could land up a lottery team, and why we don't like the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Audio warning: Yusuf is a little quiet and Tyler isn't a little quiet.

Oh Arizona, what is wrong with you as an organization. First you go bankrupt, then there was the cheating the scouting combine, then the Mitchell Miller fiasco, THEN the owner cheaping out on food and signing bonuses. What the hell, man? We discuss the news that the Coyotes will be evicted from their home arena at the end of next season and try to figure out why they're leaving and what happens after. Do they carry on as the Coyotes? Do they re-brand to become the Nordiques? Do they just take the Arizona Coyotes and push them somewhere else???

With the 2020+1 Tokyo Olympics happening very soon, we wanted to sit down and talk about the importance of the Olympics. By that, I mean we tried to figure out what significance the Olympics have to the world and whether or not they matter. Afterwards, we discussed whether or not Tokyo should be running and how the Olympics are a long-term investment that can be difficult to recoup from.
