In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the latest projections for the Broncos when it comes to their win total, playoff odds, and more. We breakdown the Broncos playoff matchup if the playoffs were to start today. We react to Dre Greenlaw returning to practice today and Sean Payton's comments on it. What would the return of Greenlaw bring to this already impressive Broncos' defense? Today's "Three Count" features the first ever time the Broncos have won the AFC defensive player of the week award with Jonathon Cooper taking home the award this week, the late Demaryius Thomas being inducted into the Broncos ring of fame at this Sunday's game, and Russell Westbrook signing with the Sacramento Kings today for his 18th season. We react to ESPN's rankings of the top 100 players in the NHL which featured Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Marty Necas and Devon Toews. 

The season is a week old and there's already panic setting in around the NHL. The insiders jump around to a few different markets before welcoming player agent Brian Bartlett to the.

The Panthers are silencing doubters with a hot start despite key injuries to Barkov and Tkachuk. Nathan MacKinnon is near the top of the scoring race, thriving alongside Martin Nečas as Colorado expects important clashes with Dallas throughout the year... and faces looming cap questions with Cale Makar’s next deal. Newly paid stars like Eichel, Kaprizov, and Connor are backing up their contracts with strong starts, and Team USA is shaping up to be a powerhouse for the Olympics. In Montreal, Lane Hutson’s eight-year extension locks in another key piece of the Habs’ young core, while Buffalo languishes again at the bottom, leaving players like Dahlin and Tuch frustrated in a team without identity. Detroit, meanwhile, looks poised for a breakout behind its youthful lineup, and in Toronto, Craig Berube is calling for more consistency from William Nylander, drawing Ray’s comparison to the enigmatic Alex Kovalev.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The conservative legal activists at Alliance Defending Freedom are taking another Colorado case to the Supreme Court this week. Will conversion therapy for minors — which has been illegal in this state since 2019 — be reconsidered as a free speech issue? Then, “gonzo journalist” and longtime Woody Creek resident Hunter S. Thompson's widow is asking the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to reopen the case of his death in 2005, which was ruled a suicide, but why she's requesting the probe remains murky. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi dive into these stories plus new information on Pete's University Park Cafe, the Avs' questionable allegiance, and a listener question about a Denverite on “Survivor.” Paul mentioned Hunter S. Thompson's famous Rolling Stone article “The Battle of Aspen.” After we recorded this episode, Cale Makar answered a reporter's question about the view of him wearing an LA Rams uniform.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.
