NHL’s WAG culture, why Brad Marchand’s team used to hate him, and Sidney Crosby’s hair advice with ESPN’s Emily Kaplan (plus our Buffalo trip and Bills game recap!)

ESPN’s NHL reporter Emily Kaplan joins Madeline and Charlotte to talk about the biggest and best storylines heading into the 2025-2026 hockey season that kicked off on Tuesday. Did you know that there are a ton of brothers playing in the league? That the players fight to defend each other? That Brad Marchand’s current team hated him before he joined it? That Sidney Crosby took a player to get his hair cut? That the NHL is like a family? That WAGs take their jackets very seriously?

If you’re looking to get into hockey, Emily’s fun stories and facts about the guys on the ice are a great place to start. The season kicked off on Tuesday, so there’s no better time to brush up on the narratives. 

Plus: Madeline and Charlotte recap their trip to Buffalo, which included a trip to Niagara Falls, a fiasco at a restaurant where they tried to order wings, and a visit to SGS listener Christina’s amazing tailgate! Thank you to Christina and thank you to Buffalo! The gals will certainly be back.
