Court Lalonde joins the show to talk about initial overreactions (from Leafs fans), holisitic views on hockey (breaking down the Kirill Marchenko-Matthew Knies trade, praise for Fraser Minten and some analytics chat), jersey aesthetics (Boston, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Vancouver and some expectations for the Hometown Remix series), David Pastrňák's captaincy and much, much more!

Everyone's favorite game show segment, "Off the Cuff" returns to recap some news from the last couple of weeks! Also, Chris Kreider is a free agent (well, he was when we recorded this anyway), there's been another potential expansion update and we preview the Central Division for the 2026-27 season.

Houston, We Have An Atlantic Division Preview

2026/08/26

The NHL isn't in a formal expansion process, but they're also not ruling out expanding. Also, we spent a couple hours previewing the Atlantic Division for the 2026-27 season. We promise next week's episode will be a little shorter– we just had a lot to catch up on for the first episode since our summer break.

He Signed For HOW Much?

2026/07/31

Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, Jet Greaves and Jason Robertson all signed extensions since our last episode and it feels like we're entering a new era for salary cap enthusiasts. Plus, how would you split the number of games for a three-goalie rotation and more.

Sound Observations

2026/07/20

King Clancy trivia gives way to some musical chairs action in Buffalo, Boston, New Jersey and Detroit. Also the Anaheim Ducks matched Leo Carlsson's offer sheet and the Utah Mammoth matched Barrett Hayton's offer sheet. There's new (old) features in NHL 27 and Nick and Shawn did a fantasy draft of songs featured in the EA Sports NHL series menus.

Transaction Bonanza (feat. Colby Kephart)

2026/07/03

How the Buffalo Sabres almost acquired Connor Hellebuyck and what kind of a package would extract Hellebuyck from the Winnipeg Jets. Is everyone looking too deep into the Zach Werenski saga? Can we say that? Is it really a "saga" or is he going to get mad at us and release another statement? Plus, we recap a bunch of trades made leading up to, during and since the 2026 NHL Draft, as well as free agency signings from July 1st (and a few from July 2nd) and more!

Raising Canes

The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup champions, Mike Babcock is a huge fan of Mike Babcock, everyone's lost their minds making trades and we somehow still managed to do a mock draft as a result.

"Ocean Man" (vs. The Slow Death of the Universe)

The 2026 Stanley Cup Final is underway and the Carolina Hurricanes tied the series 1-1 with the Vegas Golden Knights shortly after we finished recording this episode. You're welcome, Hurricanes fans! Or sorry about that, Vegas fans. Did Lindy Ruff get snubbed? In a related story, have we been overhyping "best defender" qualities in the entire history of awarding the James Norris Memorial Trophy? The Edmonton Oilers are looking to move Darnell Nurse. How soon will it happen and where is he likely

The Montréal Canadiens had their hands full with the Carolina Hurricanes (we recorded this before Carolina finished Montréal off in Game 5) and the Vegas Golden Knights swept the Colorado Avalanche as the Conference Finals came and went. What does the offseason look like for the Avs? Is Colorado's Stanley Cup window closed? Is Jared Bednar in the hot seat? Vegas still technically needs a head coach too, by the way. We're offering to buy Bruce Cassidy a beer. Evgeni Malkin signed a one-year extension

After surprising everyone, what are the Buffalo Sabres going to do this offseason? The Montréal Victoire won the Walter Cup and the PWHL is adding San José to the expansion list– joining Detroit, Hamilton and Vegas. The Nashville Predators still need a general manager to replace Barry Trotz. Jamie Langenbrunner left the Boston Bruins and so did Jay Leach. Daniel and Henrik Sedin are running the show in Vancouver and they tapped Ryan Johnson to be the new Canucks GM. Vancouver also parted ways with

Can the Carolina Hurricanes go undefeated this postseason? No, obviously. But they did sweep the Philadelphia Flyers. Can Lindy Ruff make the right adjustments and the Buffalo Sabres keep their cool as their series with the Montréal Canadiens continues? What if Evan Gold gets hired by the Vancouver Canucks? Why the Boston Bruins should follow Montréal's model… The Colorado Avalanche took a 3-1 series lead over the Minnesota Wild as we recorded this. The Anaheim Ducks and Vegas Golden Knights are

Is this the year the Edmonton Oilers finally get it done (they're getting hot again, if you haven't been paying attention)? Patrick Roy was fired by the New York Islanders, so who inevitably hires him next? Is Pete DeBoer really the answer for the Isles? Tom Fitzgerald is parting ways with the New Jersey Devils.

This week on Goalie Hugs: The Colorado Avalanche won by a lot then gave up a lot of goals. The Vegas Golden Knights fired Bruce Cassidy and hired John Tortorella (for now). Who's at fault for Vegas' skid? Do the Columbus Blue Jackets make sense as a dark horse for a potential landing spot for Bruce Cassidy? Or should he just go to Toronto, Edmonton, Los Angeles or [insert your team here]? The Toronto Maple Leafs fired Brad Treliving and are now searching for their next general manager. Who
