This week on Ice is Slippery, Kate and Fred talk through the ups and downs of the trade deadline. We welcome a surprise superstar and say goodbye to some old friends. We also break down how the Stars played this week. And the Flyers were also there!

This week on Ice is Slippery, Fred has his first experience as a bloodthirsty hockey fan and goes all in on Matthews memes. Meanwhile, Kate's looking through the couch cushions to find an extra defenseman for the injury-riddled Dallas Stars.

This week on Ice is Slippery, the 4 Nations fever dream came to an end. Torches were passed and we returned to our friends on the Stars and Flyers. Michkov is on fire, Kuzmenko is adorable, and Bichsel has opened the Toblerone trauma tunnel. Also, you'll never guess which Dallas Star is secretly a capybara.

This week on Ice is Slippery, Kate and Fred checked in on the PWHL before diving into the 4 Nations Face Off. We take a look behind the scenes at the icy rivalry between Finland and Sweden as well as the on-ice fireworks between Canada and the US, and try to figure out exactly what the deal even is with Sid and Nate anyway. Also, we took a vote, and no hockey players are allowed to have the aux cord.

Kate listened to Spittin Chiclets so you didn't have to! She shares some highlights from the Jim Nill interview. We also talked about The Athletic's anonymous player poll before casting some of our favorite NHL players as archetypal characters in romantic comedies.

Kate is recovering from dental surgery but she's DOING HER BEST, OKAY? Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin are becoming dads together (but not like, TOGETHER), Lian Bichsel is back, and have you heard Robo is on a heater? Finally, Fred would just like everyone to shut up.

This week on Ice is Slippery, we talk about conflicts in hockey both on and off the ice. The NHL is trying to do a heckin' capitalism on YouTube content creators, Fred's a little burned out on sports, but Kate is more excited about hockey than ever after attending the Stars-Avs game (let's not talk about the final score though).
