Alright. We’re doing it.This is the free pilot episode of SLC Puck+ — the members-only expansion of SLC Puck where the takes are sharper, the jokes are looser, and the stuff that’s “maybe don’t say that on KSL” lives permanently.This pilot is going out everywhere (YouTube + Substack + the OG feed) so you can get a taste.After this? SLC Puck+ becomes Patreon-exclusive.What is SLC Puck+?Think of it as the third weekly episode when the hockey week deserves one more swing:* Ad-free* More candid* More “what are we even doing right now?”* Built around recurring segments (so it’s not just more — it’s different)What’s in this pilot?I’m not going to over-explain it — just hit play — but yes, we open with the Olympic afterparty chaos that somehow turned into a full-blown internet spiral.Then we do an Airing of Grievances because some companies deserve to be booed, loudly, in public.If you loved it…Join the SLC Puck+ tier on Patreon so you don’t miss the next one:You’ll be directly supporting the show (and enabling this dangerous new level of microphone freedom).If you hated it…Totally fine. The classic SLC Puck show is still free twice a week. We’re not taking your toys away.Alright. See you in there.— Austin This is a public episode.

SLC Puck is powered by BigTuskEnergy.comThe Utah Mammoth head into the Olympic break looking like a team nobody wants to draw in Round 1 — settled, confident, and playing with real swagger after a 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings.And then there’s Nick Schmaltz… who is absolutely on a heater. Hat trick vs Vancouver, then a goal + assist vs Detroit — and now the big question is unavoidable:What is Nick Schmaltz worth?Because if Utah wants to keep Keller’s running mate in town, they might need to back the Brinks truck up to the Delta Center loading dock.In this episode:Why Utah looks legit heading into the break (and why the goal differential matters)The difference in Utah’s game lately: zone entries, structure, and confidenceWho’s headed to the Olympics (Keller, Paterka, Vejmelka, Mäenalanen) and what the break meansThe Schmaltz negotiation: term, AAV, leverage, and the “Keller effect”What Utah should prioritize after the roster freeze lifts — and what “being a tough out” actually looks likeCONNECT WITH SLC PUCK!🛍️ Merch ➡️ www.bigtuskenergy.com📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/slcpuck🎥TikTok ➡️ https://tiktok.com/@slcpuck✳️ Spotify ➡️🐦 Twitter ➡️ https://x.com/slcpuck👍 Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/slcpuck💻KSL UHC Coverage ➡️ https://www.ksl.com/sports/utah-hockey-club☕️Buy Me A Coffee (Support the show!) https://buymeacoffee.com/slcpuck This is a public episode.

SLC Puck is powered by BigTuskEnergy.comThe Utah Mammoth had Carolina dead to rights — up 4–2 with under two minutes left — and somehow walked away with a regulation loss in one of the rarest collapses in NHL history. We break down how it happened (including the 6-on-4 chaos), why Utah’s power play is still stuck in quicksand, and what they have to clean up before the Olympic break.Then we pivot to something way more fun: the Stadium Series vibe in Florida and what Utah’s version of an outdoor game at Rice-Eccles could look like.

Schmitty has been fantastic all season, and this was just the loudest episode yet.In this one, Austin and Sammy hit the highlights from the unexpectedly perfect stretch of this homestand — including that massive regulation win over Dallas — and then dive into why Utah’s blue line has quietly been one of the biggest reasons the Mammoth are thriving right now.

Jack McBain centered Michael Carcone and Dylan Gunther, and those three went full bonkers: 4 goals, 8 points, +4, and 20 shots on goal between them (basically half of Utah’s 41 shots as a team… insane).We break down why the line works (it’s not rocket science — it’s sandpaper + sniper + bouncer energy), how Utah kept Toronto’s stars quiet, and what this win means in the wild card race with Dallas up next.
