If ever there was a case to be made about one season having nothing to do with the next, it came over the last two nights. We'll look at four teams from each conference which missed the post-season a year ago and are right in contention while two others who will likely miss again had notable wins.With 60% of the league schedule having been played, we'll give the projections heading into the weekend, the latest personnel notes and, did you hear Mitch Marner is playing in Toronto Friday?X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #NHLWraparound.com #ShortShifts #NYCentric #CelebritySeries #HallofFameEdition #StanleyCupdate #SummerCoolers #Smith'sPix #NeilSmith #VicMorren #PatrickHoffman #NHL #SummerCoolers #AnaheimDucks # #BostonBruins #BuffaloSabres #CalgaryFlames #CarolinaHurricanes #ChicagoBlackhawks #ColoradoAvalanche #ColumbusBlueJackets #DallasStars #DetroitRedWings #EdmontonOilers #FloridaPanthers #LosAngelesKings #MinnesotaWild #MontrealCanadiens #NashvillePredators #NewJerseyDevils #NewYorkIslanders #NewYorkRangers #OttawaSenators #PhiladelphiaFlyers #PittsburghPenguins #StLouisBlues #SanJoseSharks #SeattleKraken #TampaBayLightning #TorontoMapleLeafs #UtahMammoth #VancouverCanucks #VegasGoldenKnights #WashingtonCapitals #WinnipegJets #JohnGibson #KirillKaprizov #LindyRuff #PeytonKrebs #MitchMarner #MasonMcTavish #TristanJarry #StuartSkinner #AnthonyMantha #SidneyCrosby #LeonDraisaitl #DanMuse #RickBowness #JetGreaves #CharlieCoyle #ZachWerenski #LukasDostal #TroyTerry #LeoCarlsson #JoelQuenneville #GarneyHathaway #NickSchmaltz #DylanGuenther #ClaytonKeller #TravisSanheim #StevenStamkos #RomanJosi #OliverMoore #AlexanderNikishin #NickLardis #FrederickAndersen #AdamFoote #PatrikAllvin #BrockBoeser #EvanderKane #FilipHronek #SpencerCarbury #Pierre-LucDubois #LukeHughes #DougieHamilton #ColtonWhite #DavidPerron #KrisLetang #ErikKarlsson #RyanGraves #JonathanHuberdeau #MartinPospisil #OliverEkman-Larsson #BrandonCarlo #AnthonyStolarz #TorontoMarlies #FrankNazar #FilipChytil #DrewO'Connor #JacksonLacombe #SethJones #JonasBrodin #WilliamNylander #JoshDoan #AlexSteeves #MickeyRedmond #FosterHewittAward

Two significant returns headlined the NHL Monday with one taking a back seat to the first goalie fight the league has seen in almost six years.While a fair amount of attention will be going to the Atlantic Division, plenty of items will be sprayed around the rest of the league. That includes a "Figures" segment noting three games which highlight the unpredictability of the league and why the single season empty net goals against record is likely to gall.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #NHLWraparound.com #ShortShifts #NYCentric #CelebritySeries #HallofFameEdition #StanleyCupdate #SummerCoolers #Smith'sPix #NeilSmith #VicMorren #PatrickHoffman #NHL #SummerCoolers #AnaheimDucks # #BostonBruins #BuffaloSabres #CalgaryFlames #CarolinaHurricanes #ChicagoBlackhawks #ColoradoAvalanche #ColumbusBlueJackets #DallasStars #DetroitRedWings #EdmontonOilers #FloridaPanthers #LosAngelesKings #MinnesotaWild #MontrealCanadiens #NashvillePredators #NewJerseyDevils #NewYorkIslanders #NewYorkRangers #OttawaSenators #PhiladelphiaFlyers #PittsburghPenguins #StLouisBlues #SanJoseSharks #SeattleKraken #TampaBayLightning #TorontoMapleLeafs #UtahMammoth #VancouverCanucks #VegasGoldenKnights #WashingtonCapitals #WinnipegJets #MadisonSquareGarden #JonathanToews #UnitedCenter #MauriceRichard #MontrealForum #MatthewTkachuk #EvanRodrigues #MackieSamoskevich #VincentDesharnais #AlexNedeljkovic #SergeiBobrovsky #CamTalbot #MikeSmith #PatrickRoy #MikeVernon #ChrisOsgood #EthanBear #BrandonBussi #TageThompson #ColeCaufield #EricFurlatt #LaneHutson #NickSuzuki #MikkoRantanen #JasonRobertson #BillGuerin #PatrikAllvin #AdamFoote #QuinnHughes #KieferSherwood #ThatcherDemko #ColeClayton #ChrisDrury #TravisKonecny #SimonNemec #LukeHughes #CodyGlass #EricRobinson #RasmusDahlin #NikoMikkola #SethJones #DmitryKulikov #JoshNorris #DarcyKuemper #JohhnyBrodzinski #DrewDoughty #ValNichushkin #ZachWhitecloud #RasmusAndersson #JustinSordif #KirbyDach #AlexandreTexier #AnthonyStolarz #TorontoMarlies #LaneLambert #RasmusAndersson #PaulMaurice #SidneyCrosby #ConnorMcDavid

The closeness of the NHL standings shows no sign of changing as the logjam in both conferences continues into the third week of the month.With the Olympic break approaching, GM's are evaluating rosters with upwards of 30 teams having some post-season aspirations. In fact, a major deal was consummated Sunday evening.But in New York, a second letter to fans in eight years as "re-tool" is the catchword in the Big Apple. However, unlike 2018, Chris Drury's memo comes off as damage control - with the damage already having been done.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #NHLWraparound.com #ShortShifts #NYCentric #CelebritySeries #HallofFameEdition #StanleyCupdate #SummerCoolers #Smith'sPix #NeilSmith #VicMorren #PatrickHoffman #NHL #SummerCoolers #AnaheimDucks # #BostonBruins #BuffaloSabres #CalgaryFlames #CarolinaHurricanes #ChicagoBlackhawks #ColoradoAvalanche #ColumbusBlueJackets #DallasStars #DetroitRedWings #EdmontonOilers #FloridaPanthers #LosAngelesKings #MinnesotaWild #MontrealCanadiens #NashvillePredators #NewJerseyDevils #NewYorkIslanders #NewYorkRangers #OttawaSenators #PhiladelphiaFlyers #PittsburghPenguins #StLouisBlues #SanJoseSharks #SeattleKraken #TampaBayLightning #TorontoMapleLeafs #UtahMammoth #VancouverCanucks #VegasGoldenKnights #WashingtonCapitals #WinnipegJets #HockeyDayinCanada #OliverEkman-Larsson #BobbyMcMann #MaxDomi #AustonMatthews #ConnorHellebuyck #JurajSlafkovsky #AlexandreCarrier #ColeCaufield #TSN #CraigButton #LeeviMerilainen #JamesReimer #AlexDebrincat #MontrealMaroons #ScottyBowman #AlexOvechkin #WayneGretzky #IlyaSorokin #ZachHyman #BraydenPoint #RyanNugent-Hopkins #LeonDraisaitl #NikolajEhlers #AndreiSvechnikov #SergeiBobrovsky #JacobMarkstrom #DaniilTarasov #AleksanderBarkov #SethJones #PaulMaurice #JoelHofer #JordanKyrou #RyanO'Reilly #MarkStone #MarcoSturm #JeremySwayman #JoonasKorpisalo #DavidPastrnak #MorganGeekie #DonSweeney #NateSchmidt #JacksonLaCombe #BeckettSennecke #KevinFiala #MikaelGranlund #LeoCarlsson #ChrisDrury #JeffGorton #JohnDavidson #ArtemiPanarin #K'AndreMiller #OskarSundqvist #CoonorMcDavid #JimMontgomery #MattBoldy #JustinSordif #RodrigoAbols #RasmusRistolainen #MiroHeiskanen #HenriJokiharju #WillSmith #RasmusAndersson #JackEichel #AlexPietrangelo #ZachWhitecloud #AbramWiebe #JeffreyViel #PatVerbeek #SammyHelenius #PhilGoyette #EarlIngarfield #JonthanToews #RickBowness #GlenGulutzan

From Eastern Conference Finalists in 2022 and 2024 to NHL bottom-feeder. The New York Rangers fall from the NHL's elite has been stunning with much of the blame being heaped on GM Chris Drury.Vincent Mercogliano covers the Rangers for The Athletic and joins Neil and Vic to do a deep dive into the current state of the franchise, how they got to this point and where they go in a 100th anniversary season that has been anything but memorable.In Three Things You Need to Pay Attention To, it took more than half of the season but we finally have a head coaching change. Also, the Lightning remain on fire while guess who's back in a playoff spot?IN THIS EPISODE:[01:43] – Three Things You Need to Pay Attention To[13:10] – Vince Mercogliano joins the show and delivers a very extensive breakdown of how things have fallen apart at MSG.

Add in the underwhelming career of the first overall pick in the 2020 Entry Draft.[31:06] – Perhaps one of the biggest rubs with GM Drury has been his treatment of players. This coming from a former player, captain of the Rangers and a Stanley Cup Champion in Colorado.[34:10] – The future of Artemi Panarin.[37:13] – The positives Vince sees in the immediate amidst the mess of the 2025-26 season.[39:44] – Updates on Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin[40:21] – More on Fox. Injury aside, the reported pursuit of Quinn Hughes in New York and the not getting a call for the Olympics has been a double whammy.[43:36] - Putting a wrap on the discussion with Vincent Mercogliano.[45:35] - Coaching updates on a milestone for Jon Cooper and a health scare for a former NHL coach working in the KHL.[51:36] - 2026 NHL Draft to be held in Buffalo.[55:00] - The ongoing drama at the main rink at the Milan-Cortina Olympic site.[58:00] - Personnel items.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #NHLWraparound.com #ShortShifts #NYCentric #CelebritySeries #HallofFameEdition #StanleyCupdate #SummerCoolers #Smith'sPix #NeilSmith #VicMorren #PatrickHoffman #NHL #SummerCoolers #AnaheimDucks # #BostonBruins #BuffaloSabres #CalgaryFlames #CarolinaHurricanes #ChicagoBlackhawks #ColoradoAvalanche #ColumbusBlueJackets #DallasStars #DetroitRedWings #EdmontonOilers #FloridaPanthers #LosAngelesKings #MinnesotaWild #MontrealCanadiens #NashvillePredators #NewJerseyDevils #NewYorkIslanders #NewYorkRangers #OttawaSenators #PhiladelphiaFlyers #PittsburghPenguins #StLouisBlues #SanJoseSharks #SeattleKraken #TampaBayLightning #TorontoMapleLeafs #UtahMammoth #VancouverCanucks #VegasGoldenKnights #WashingtonCapitals #WinnipegJets #VincentMercogliano #TheAthletic #DeanEvason #SteveMcCarthy #RickBowness #DougMacLean #ScottHowson #JarmoKekalainen #DonWaddell #JohnnyGaudreau #JimMontgomery #DrewBannister #LukeRichardson #NHLonTNT #KenHolland #BooneJenner #BraydenPoint #CamYork ##ChrisJohnson #TSN #ConnorBedard #SamBennett #WyattJohnston #MarkScheifele #JulienBrisebois #WilliamNylander #MitchMarner...

When a team loses, it's one thing. When it gets blown out, it's another. When that blowout comes in the form of surrendering 10 goals in front of a national TV audience, you're in pretty hot soup and that's exactly what the New York Rangers are in following one of their most embarrassing losses in recent memory.Vic and Neil break it down and also look at the reversal of fortune in Toronto, the first steps taken by Winnipeg in an attempt to get back into the Western Conference playoff picture and some unrest in New Jersey as the slumping Devils sit a veteran defenseman.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #NHLWraparound.com #ShortShifts #NYCentric #CelebritySeries #HallofFameEdition #StanleyCupdate #SummerCoolers #Smith'sPix #NeilSmith #VicMorren #PatrickHoffman #NHL #SummerCoolers #AnaheimDucks # #BostonBruins #BuffaloSabres #CalgaryFlames #CarolinaHurricanes #ChicagoBlackhawks #ColoradoAvalanche #ColumbusBlueJackets #DallasStars #DetroitRedWings #EdmontonOilers #FloridaPanthers #LosAngelesKings #MinnesotaWild #MontrealCanadiens #NashvillePredators #NewJerseyDevils #NewYorkIslanders #NewYorkRangers #OttawaSenators #PhiladelphiaFlyers #PittsburghPenguins #StLouisBlues #SanJoseSharks #SeattleKraken #TampaBayLightning #TorontoMapleLeafs #UtahMammoth #VancouverCanucks #VegasGoldenKnights #WashingtonCapitals #WinnipegJets #ChrisDrury #BillGuerin #MikeSullivan #JonathanQuick #SpencerMartin #MikaZibanejad #JTMiller #AlexisLafreniere #AdamFox #IgorShesterkin #WillCuylle #MaratKhustnutdinov #PavelZacha #DavidPastrnak #AndyHebenton #DeanPrentice #JoonasKorpisalo #WilliamNylander #JakeMcCabe #CraigBerube #BradTreliving #SteveSullivan #MarcSavard #EricComrie #VladislavNamestnikov #ConnorHellebuyck #KevinCheveldayoff #ScottArniel #MikeYeo #JohnathanKovasevic #DougieHamilton #SheldonKeefe #TomFitzgerald #JacobMarkstrom #JackHughes #AlexOvechkin #ConnorMcDavid #NathanMacKinnon #TrentMinor #DrewCommesso #ConnorBedard #JaccobSlavin #KaidenGuhle #BryanRust #ColinMiller #StefanNoesen #ZackMcEwen #AlexKerfoot #CarterHart #ThatcherDemko #QuinnHughes #AdamFoote #JamesReimer #LinusUllmark #LeeviMerilainen #SteveYzerman #CamTalbot #GrantFuhr #PhilipBroberg #MarkStone #BraydenSchenn #PatriceBergeron #LukeSchenn #JonathanAspirot #DonSweeney #MarcoSturm #NikitaZadorov #SergeiFedorov #JacobTrouba

A tick past the midway point of the season and there have been some truly remarkable trends in the NHL in 2025-26.How else to explain, the flip-flop in teams' play from game-to-game, elite teams struggling while former also-rans flex muscle? And then there's the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have gifted late standings points to division and conference rivals at a rate which - if not reversed quickly - will keep them out of the playoffs again.Is it parity or parody?
