Episode 356 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Washington Capitals practice goalie -- and one-time EBUG -- Parker Milner.  In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Milner walks us through his path from Pittsburgh minor hockey to two-time NCAA champion at Boston College and the top goalie in the ECHL before retiring and, after a couple years away from the game, becoming the Capitals practice goalie for the past three seasons. Milner, 35, shares tips and insights into his life in the line of fire, whether it's Alex Ovechkin one-timers, being a target during lengthy skill sessions, or the game-improvements of his own with goalie coach Scott Murray. We also get into his road stint on the bench as the EBUG this season and his thoughts on the NHL rules that will prevent him from continuing as the practice goalie now that every team has to have one. In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we share 10 tips to make the the position more affordable, and explain why cost doesn't have to be as scary as most say.  We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Casey DeSmith of the Dallas Stars with some great advice on alignment on the post to manage net drives and pass options.  And in our weekly gear segment, we head to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, for a look at the new CCM Tacks pads and gloves, the second price point with a long list of pro level features!

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. The early 2027 mock drafts have Drew Mestemaker going to the Steelers – Steve expects people to know about him in the upcoming college football season. Steve got into the portal movement a little bit and what can be at stake for Mestemaker if he turns Oklahoma State back into a relevant program. Steve likes the tools for Max Iheanachor, but pointed out that he has plenty to clean up. Steve really likes the Germie Bernard pick. Steve didn't give a ton of praise on Drew Allar, but he's always been one of the guys that votes to always take a QB. He admitted he would have waited another round or so on Allar because he never took that next step in college. Steve thinks the Steelers got really good value on Gennings Dunker at 96th overall. How impactful will Kaden Wetjen be on the Steelers roster? Steve loved the Eli Heidenreich selection as their final pick. Did Steve know anything about Gabe Rubio? As much as Steve likes Heidenreich, he hopes people temper the Christian McCaffrey comparisons. Steve said he would roll with the young guys at QB in Pittsburgh and not worry about Aaron Rodgers KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob gave his thoughts on the end of the Penguins season and noted that it was ‘weird' that Sidney Crosby was quick in & out after the game last night. Pomp believes Evgeni Malkin will be back next season. Will Kris Letang be back to complete the Big 3? The guys asked Bob about a few others that may or may not be back. Would Geno actually go to the Caps if the Penguins don't re-sign him? Bob pondered Alex Ovechkin coming to Pittsburgh. How will Aaron Rodgers react to the UFA tender laid down by the Steelers? Donny Football Debrief – Viewership down 14% from 2025 to 2026 with the NFL Draft.
