On this episode of the "House of Hockey" Podcast, Rae and her guest co-hosts Andy Zilch and Alma Laura, dive deep into the latest NHL news, PWHL news and share candid opinions on the hottest topics in the hockey world.

First, we celebrate the Florida Panthers' monumental win at home and Connor McDavid's well-deserved Conn Smythe Trophy, the first since Jean-Sebastien Giguere in 2003 with the Mighty Ducks. We'll share our favorite moments from the electrifying Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.

We also give a shout-out to St. Louis pride, with Jayson Tatum and Matthew Tkachuk both clinching national championships who are also friends and grew up together.

Next, we explore the resurgence of former Buffalo Sabres players, including Jack Eichel's Stanley Cup success last year and the impressive seasons enjoyed by Brandon Montour, Sam Reinhart, and Kyle Okposo, now all Stanley Cup Champions.

In a more lighthearted segment, we discuss the viral sensation of the Edmonton Oilers Flasher Girl and share our thoughts on this unexpected moment.

The offseason is heating up with some wild trades, and we break down the most surprising and impactful moves so far. Linus Ullmark's trade to Ottawa, Barclay Goodrow's unexpected departure from the Rangers to the Sharks, and Jacob Markstrom's move from the Flames to the Devils are all on the agenda.

We also react to the LA Kings' new logo and its reception among fans and the hockey community.

Lastly, we address the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the Arizona Coyotes, with the state canceling the land auction and leaving the team's future in limbo.
