The Ducks are off to a solid start to the season, and in this episode, I break down the standout performance from their gutsy shootout win over the Florida Panthers.

2025/10/29

The Blackhawks won a huge game against the Ottawa Senators, and Connor Bedard was by far the best player on the ice, potting a hat-trick, adding a helper, and saving a surefire goal in the late 2nd to keep the score at 4-3. Is this the season he emerges as a superstar in the NHL? Frank Nazar and Spencer Knight have cemented themselves as franchise cornerstones, dragging the team to multiple victories so far this season, while Levshunov, Rinzel, Greene, and Dach are all doing their parts to support

The Flyers returned Jett Luchanko to the OHL after 4 games played for a second straight season, and we ask: "Was he given enough opportunities to win a spot?"

2025/10/28

Harrison Brunicke looks solid in the NHL as a rookie and has taken huge strides in his two-way development since being drafted by Pittsburgh, but is he a higher-value pick than Washington's Cole Hutson? We also pitch Igor Chernyshov (SJS) against Ilya Protas (WSH), in a power forward head-to-head, with both guys dominating the net-front, bringing standout tools, and falling way further than they should have on draft day. Finally, we wrap up the show shouting out a trio of small dynamic NCAA wingers:

Emmitt Finnie has come out of nowhere as a slam-dunk piece for the Detroit Red Wings, defying the odds as a recent 7th-round pick, but is he a better value selection than Zach Benson, who is becoming one of Buffalo's most important players? We look at 5 other steals from the 2023 class as well: Oliver Moore, Gavin Brindley, Felix Unger Sörum, Luca Cagnoni, and Aiden Fink. 2022 Draft Hits/Misses (ft.
