Smith, highly regarded NHL executive, served as the President and General Manager of the 1994 Stanley Cup Champion New York Rangers. During his eleven years with the team, they achieved significant success, including three division titles, two Presidents’ Trophies, one Eastern Conference Championship, and a historic Stanley Cup victory—the franchise’s first in 54 years. Known for his expertise in professional sports franchise economics, Smith played a pivotal role in management decisions under four different Rangers owners.. His tenure saw iconic trades and acquisitions, including Hall of Famers Mark Messier and Wayne Gretzky, as well as successful drafts and free-agent signings. Starting as a pro scout, Smith's career highlights include the impactful 1989 draft for the Detroit Red Wings and bold trades that shaped NHL history. He briefly served as GM for the New York Islanders in 2006, later working as a consultant for the Dallas Stars, Pittsburgh Penguins, and the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. A Toronto native, Smith's hockey journey began in junior leagues before a distinguished college career at Western Michigan University. He has received numerous awards and distinctions, including induction into the University's Sports Hall of Fame in 1991. Vic Morren: Born in New York City close to the Old Madison Square Garden, Vic Morren has had hockey in his blood his entire life as a fan, player and television production manager. A graduate of William Paterson University, Morren skated for three seasons with the Pioneers hockey club and became the first statistical analyst to apply his craft to telecasts working New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils games from 1984-87. He co-authored two NHL-based statistics books within that span before moving to ESPN in 1987 and working the final season of the original deal the network had with the NHL. After departing in 1990, Morren worked as a studio producer for SportsChannel America’s NHL coverage and the 1992 Barcelona Olympics before returning to ESPN that fall where he worked all 12 seasons on the second ESPN/NHL deal and the first season of the most recent contract in 2021-22. Morren has also earned a Sports Emmy for his work on Sunday Night Football coverage in 2003. His relationship with Neil Smith dates back 33 years through their mutual friendship with the late ESPN/ABC commentator John Saunders. Morren looks forward to NHL Wraparound and collaborating with Smith with the goal to provide an experience of contemporary viewpoints, historical spin and an overall enriching podcast experience.

As Brad Marchand skated with the Stanley Cup as a member of the Florida Panthers, a former player with some very similar characteristics to Marchand is in the role of trying to move the Anaheim Ducks from outsider to contender.Pat Verbeek enjoyed a 20-year playing career after being drafted by the New Jersey Devils in 1982. He's scored 500 goals, won a Stanley Cup and, as Neil points out, displays the same work ethic as a GM as he did as player. That drive helped the Devils to their first playoff berth in 1988. Now, his immediate task is to build the Ducks into a playoff team, something missing in Anaheim since 2018.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 #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #HumanSideoftheStory #PatVerbeek #SteveYzerman #AnaheimDucks #DetroitRedWings #NewJerseyDevils #HartfordWhalers #NewYorkRangers #DallasStars #BrianGionta #Jean-SebastienGiguere #KenHolland #PatrickKane #KeithTkachuk #PeterBondra #PatrickMarleau #PatrickRoy #WayneGretzky #KyleDavidson #EricTulsky #KyleDubas #JoelQuenneville

Known more as a long-time analyst for the Vancouver Canucks, John Garrett's career as a professional goaltender was a modest one played out over 12 seasons, 6 teams and two leagues. As often happens, however, hockey has an odd way of connecting individuals.

Their earliest years were, frankly, like those of many expansion teams. A team comprised of marginal talent as part of the 1972 Expansion Draft and the first-year record certainly reflected that. While the second season saw only slight improvement in the standings, it was the promise of a first overall pick who went on to win the Calder Trophy that laid the foundation of what was ahead.The third season saw a surprising playoff berth, a stunning opening round win over the veteran team from New York City and an historic comeback against Pittsburgh.Then, reality.While the team continued an upward trajectory, the playoff results got increasingly difficult over the course of the next four springs. Finally, in 1980, it came together. A strong core was bolstered in March by the arrival of a college defenseman fresh from winning Olympic gold and a veteran forward who became the final piece of the puzzle.From there, they made history - some of which may never be seen again in the NHL.Join the hosts as they go back 45 years with Captain Denis Potvin, left wing John Tonelli and defenseman Ken Morrow.This is Doormat to Dynasty.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] - Open voiced by long-time Islanders play-by-play man Jiggs McDonald with Islanders theme underneath from organist Paul Cartier.

While the franchise hasn't been in the playoffs since 2016, one of their greatest moments took place 29 years ago.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 #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #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 #SpencerCarbery #AnthonyBeauvillier #ConnorMcMichael #LarsEller #TaylorRaddysh #JalenChatfield #AlexanderNikishin #JordanStaal #LoganThompson #JakobChychrun #JohnCarlson #JaccobSlavin #LoganStankoven #MattRoy #SethJarvis #FrederikAndersen #AndreiSvechnikov #SeanWalker #DylanStrome #KyleConnor #AdamLowry #JakeOettinger #PeterDeBoer #MiroHeiskanen #ConnorHellebuyck #WyattJohnston #MarkScheifele #ThomasHarley #TylerSeguin #GabeVilardi #NinoNiederreiter #AlexPetrovic #EsaLindell #NikolaiEhlers #LianBichsel #VladNamestnikov #AlexIafallo #JamieBenn #AnthonyStorlarz #CraigBerube #PaulMaurice #WilliamNylander #JohnTavares #MatthewKnies #MitchMarner #MaxPacioretty #JimHiller #KenHolland #LucRobitaille #RobBlake #AnzeKopitar #DrewDoughty #AdrianKempe #MikeyAnderson #SteveYzerman #JonCasey #WayneGretzky #EweKrupp #JohnVanbiesbrouck #UMassAmherstMinutemenHockey

Hockey is life. It's been in the blood of both hosts from a very early age, has been a core component of both of their professional careers and it's the foundation of their NHL Wraparound venture. As in life, relationships which have been built and re-connections which have been made is something neither takes for granted as their current project continues to evolve.Hockey has been a gift which keeps on giving.

It's been a dozen years since the winner of the Presidents' Trophy has gone on to win the Stanley Cup. Unless the Winnipeg Jets can pull off three straight victories over the Dallas Stars - including one on the road where they have yet to win this post-season - they will join a long list of teams whose regular season success has fallen in the playoffs.We'll preview a pair of Wednesday games as Edmonton looks to be the first team to reach the conference finals while Toronto and Florida face off in a pivotal Game 5.In This Day in Stanley Cup History, we go back 32 years when the Pittsburgh Penguins run to a third consecutive Stanley Cup was derailed.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 #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #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 #MiroHeiskanen #PeterDeBoer #JakeOettinger #GabeVilardi #MikaelGranlund #ThomasHarley #BrandonTanev #NealPionk #ConnorHellebuyck #NikolajEhlers #HaydenFleury #RoopeHintz #MikkoRantanen #WyattJohnston #MattDuchene #TylerSeguin #JimNill #CodiCeci #ConnorMcDavid #LeonDraisaitl #AnthonyStolarz #JosephWoll #AustonMatthews #MitchMarner #MattiasEkholm #CoreyPerry #AdamHenrique #EvanderKane #TomFitzgerald #DylanHolloway #PhilipBroberg #EvanBouchard #JJPeterka #GabeVilardi #MarcoRossi #MatthewKnies #DavidVolek #MarioLemieux #DariusKasparaitis #RayFerraro #RonFrancis #RickTocchet #RichPilon #KevinStevens #ScottWalker #DonMaloney #JohnLeClair #SergeSavard #LegionofDoom #EricLindros #MikaelRenberg
There's never a shortage of close calls, controversy and players skating the line - occasionally going over it - in the chase for the Stanley Cup.We're at the halfway of the point in round two. With emotion and intensity continuing to rise, Neil and Vic welcome back a voice of reason, someone to bring down the heat: former NHL referee and current rules analyst for ESPN, Dave Jackson.Later in the show, we do the deeper dive into all four conference semi-final series and in "The Human Side of the Story," after more than four decades with different roles in hockey, relationships still manage to come full circle for both hosts. IN THIS EPISODE:[01:00] - "Three Things You Need to Pay Attention To" provides a quick recap of the Monday games while it appears the hunt for a new general manager is over for the Los Angeles Kings.[06:40] - Dave Jackson joins the show and adds his take on Sunday's open-ice hit the Maple Leafs Oliver Ekman-Larsson delivered to the Panthers Evan Rodriguez.[08:58] - Would Max Domi's late Game 4 hit on Aleksander Barkov or Nick Roy's cross check against Trent Frederic in Game 2 of the Edmonton-Vegas have warranted just fines had these infractions taken place during the regular season?[11:36] - Neil thorizes and Dave offers his thoughts on why goaltenders appear to be getting hurt more now than ever.[16:36] - Thoughts on why the review of the Alex Petrovic goal in Dallas Sunday appeared to take an unusually long time.[19:09] - If someone had told you it took 61 games this post-season to have fighting penalties doled out, would you have believed them? [24:28] - Is it real or imagined that more scrums take place earlier in series and dissipate as that series gets deeper and closer to conclusion?[26:05] - While a referee is neutral, Dave still can share thoughts what he's seen from various teams during the post-season.[28:27] - To be a fly on the wall...or the ice. Dave let's us in on some of the banter that takes place between players and officials...and coaches.[30:46] - As society has changed, Dave tells us how that has affected the tolerance of what can and can't be said on the ice.[34:43] - Before leaving, Dave sends the reminder that, while officials aren't perfect, they are driven to be their best the same way the players so...as fans it's easy to forget that.[40:07] - Deeper dive into the Capitals-Hurricanes fourth game.[45:16] - The Oilers learned from Game 3 not to let up off the gas as they built a similar first period lead in Game 4 with the Golden Knights.[48:43] - The Maple Leafs look to reverse the fortunes of Games 3 and 4 against the Panthers Wednesday.[53:16] - If the Winnipeg Jets are to see the West Final, they will have to figure out how to win a road game. They have one, maybe two, chances to do so as they try to even their second round series with Dallas Tuesday.[56:50] - The Human Side of the Story: Relationships and re-connections are even more valuable now to both Neil and Vic even after over four decades of involvement with hockey.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 #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #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...

In a post-season about three weeks old, comebacks, drama and odd bounces have been in abundance. Add to it the scene in Edmonton Saturday evening when the Golden Knights may have saved their season on a buzzer beater.In Raleigh, the Hurricanes shook off a sluggish first half of the game to move ahead of the Capitals.

Two very different games Friday with overtime drama in Florida settled by a one who manages to stick in the craw of the Maple Leafs almost every spring. Meanwhile, the Jets were dominant from start to finish in evening their series with Dallas as Connor Hellebuyck picked up his first post-season whitewash in four years.Vic and Neil also hit on Saturday action as second round games shift to Carolina and Edmonton.This Day in Stanley Cup History focuses on the good and the bad for the Boston Bruins.

Both needing a win after dropping their second round series openers, the Capitals prevailed while the Golden Knights fell short amidst controversy.That word also rings true in Anaheim where Joel Quenneville has been named the Ducks head coach after almost four years from his last game behind an NHL bench.This Day in Stanley Cup history looks back at the game which turned the 1974 Stanley Cup Final.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 #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #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 #JackRoslevic #MarkJankowski #AliaksaiProtas #ConnorMcMichael #SeanWalker #ShayneGostisbehere #AnthonyBeauvillier #TomWilson #JohnCarlson #AlexOvechkin #TaylorHall #TrevorvanRiemsdyk #LoganThompson #JordanStaal #SebastianAho #LoganStankoven #AlexPietrangelo #PavelDorofeyev #AdamHenrique #ConnorBrown #JakeWalman #CalvinPickard #IvanBarbashev #VictorOlofsson #MarkStone #BraydenMcNab #TannerPearson #DarrellNurse #VasilyPodkolzin #WilliamKarlsson #ZachHyman #RyanNugent-Hopkins #BrettHowden #AidenHill #ConnorMcDavid #LeonDraisaitl #TomasHertl #NickRoy #JackEichel #CoreyPerry #GordDwyer #BruceCassidy #AnthonyStolarz #JosephWoll #MattMurray #CraigBerube #JoshMorrissey #MikkoRantanen #LoganStanley #MiroHeiskanen #ConnorHellebuyck #JordanBinnington #JakeOettinger #MikkoRantanen #MarkMessier #RobBlake #RayBourque #JoelQuenneville #PatVerbeek #AlMacIssac #GaryBettman #KyleBeach #ScottBowman #StanBowman #BobbyClarke #BobbyOrr #MooseDupont #CowboyFlett #DaveSchultz #GillesGilbert
Should the Conn Smythe Trophy be handed to Mikko Rantanen after just eight post-season games? Maybe so after the Moose collected his second consecutive hat trick to help the Stars get the jump on Winnipeg in the opening game of their second round series.Over to eastern Canada where the Toronto Maple Leafs are giving actual hope to their championship-starved fans for the first time in over three decades as they win a second straight one-goal game over the defending champion Panthers.Finally, isn't Stanley Cup hockey supposed to be more defensive as the spring evolves?

There is an expectation which comes with watching professional athletes that - both men and women - are often looked at to perform with robotic efficiency. As we all know, it doesn't exactly work that way.In the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Winnipeg goaltender Connor Hellebuyck fought the St. Louis Blues, fought the puck and fought himself for two weeks. A mental thing.In other instances, a decision in an eyeblink on the ice or one coming from behind the bench can flip the fortunes of a team.The common denominator: It's all human.Neil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #ConnorHellebuyck #ScottArniel #WinnipegJets #JordanBinnington #St.LouisBlues #FourNationsFaceoff #QuintonByfield #LosAngelesKings #EvanBouchard #EdmontonOilers #PavelBuchnevich #ColePerfetti #JimHiller #StephaneMatteau #EsaTikkanen #MartinBrodeur #NewYorkRangers #BrianBoucher #EdOlczyk #EricComrie
There's a quick sense of urgency in Washington and Vegas as the Hurricanes and Oilers carried play for much of the night in a pair of conference semi-final openers.The question in Toronto is whether Anthony Stolarz returns to the net after having to leave Game 1 with the Panthers while the Jets and Stars get their series underway in Winnipeg.This Day in Stanley Cup History brings it home.

It was a fast start and a shaky finish but the Maple Leafs managed to draw first blood against the defending champs in the opening game of conference semi-final action.
