(WARNING: STRONG ADULT LANGUAGE AND HUMOR. LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.)

PUCK SOUP is the new hockey podcast on the Nerdist network for Puck Daddy editor Greg Wyshynski and Dave Lozo of Vice Sports, Uproxx and The Comeback. This is a hockey podcast, in the sense that the talk about hockey, both on the ice and about fan culture. That’s the “puck.” This is also a podcast about movies, TV, fast food, life lessons and general idiocy. That’s the “soup."

In episode seven, Greg and Dave talk hockey with actor Tom Cavanagh ("THE FLASH," "ED") about Olympic hockey, the Montreal Canadiens, his sad tale about getting rejected for a starring role in “Mystery, Alaska,” comic book fans vs. hockey fans and why Zack Snyder made a huge mistake in not taking Grant Gustin as his “Justice League” version of THE FLASH.

Plus, Stanley Cup Playoffs talk, an examination of Joe Thornton’s playoff beard, dissecting the problems with NBC’s NHL coverage, the Top 6 Greatest Playoff Disappointments of All-Time, Puck Soup listener mail and a silly movie name game.
