Summary

Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman open this episode with dedications to Kevin Dineen and Carla MacLeod before diving into surprising equipment changes from Matthews and McDavid. They discuss Matthews breaking his scoring drought, the Ducks–Blackhawks rivalry, and whether young stars like Bedard and Quinn Hughes are getting fair treatment from officials. The guys touch on Mike Matheson’s new deal, Edmonton’s goaltending outlook, Doug Armstrong’s busy phones in St. Louis, and standout performances from players like Kyle Palmieri and Dan Vladar. They close with a look at how the NHL’s condensed schedule is taking a toll on players across the league.
