Formatting quickly took a hit in this episode, and we just ended up talking through our feelings. Pour a cold one (unless you're driving while listening, then don't do that) and kick back with us as we pick up the pieces and focus on this weekend.

The Phantoms drop 2 of 3 over the weekend, but the vibes aren’t completely dead yet. We break down the games, dive into a robust Q&A, and welcome special guest Jack Hextall to the show. Plenty of hockey talk, a few laughs, and maybe even some optimism.

[Sam Olmstead @Dump_ChasePod]

The Youngstown Phantoms take 2 of 3 on the weekend and officially punch their ticket to the dance. We break down the games and welcome special guest Evan Jardine to talk about the weekend, Dad's Weekend, and gearing up for the stretch run.

[Sam Olmstead @Dump_ChasePod]

The Phantoms hit the road and leave Waterloo with a two-game sweep and zero hospitality points awarded. We break down the weekend wins and welcome guest goaltender Tobias Trejbal, fresh off making shooters reconsider their career decisions.

[Sam Olmstead @Dump_ChasePod]

Three games. Three losses. Zero sugarcoating. We break down a brutal weekend, what went wrong, and how the team responds—plus special guest Carter Murphy joins the show to add some insight, perspective, and a little hope after a rough stretch.

[Sam Olmstead @Dump_ChasePod]

The Phantoms split the weekend—one up, one down—and we break it all down with plenty of opinions that probably shouldn’t be trusted. Plus, special guest Jesse Orlowsky jumps on to talk hockey, life, and whatever else gets accidentally brought up.

[Sam Olmstead @Dump_ChasePod]

Four games in five days, legs are tired, and somehow the Phantoms are still standing. We recap the chaos, dive into a Phan Q&A that gets a little out of hand, and welcome special guest (and co-GM) @CoachKosecki1 to make sense of it all.

Two games, two wins — the Phantoms sweep Des Moines. We recap the weekend, answer phan questions, and welcome Omaha Lancers broadcaster @StorminJNorman6 to the show.

We had to make a decision this week. Cover the Phantoms weekend in Fargo, or talk to two of our favorite Covelli Centre family members. So in this episode, we welcome John & Brie Tomko to the show for an extended sit down!

[Sam Olmstead @Dump_ChasePod]

The Phantoms are riding a 3 game winning streak after dismantling Sioux Falls at Covelli this past weekend. In this episode, we've got recaps, holiday cheer-ish, Q&A galore, and we welcome Phantoms forward Cooper Simpson to the show!
