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. They talk to Brian about the impact of a rising cap and NCAA / CHL eligibility changing.

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.

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to Zach's poll asking if Bo Nis already a "franchise quarterback". Would the guys feel comfortable making Bo Nix a top 5 paid quarterback in the NFL? How many teams would trade their QB for Nix? The guys debate if JK Dobbins is on the best contract in Denver sports right now. Who are the other candidates? What could Cale Makar and JK Dobbins' contracts look like a year from now? We pivot to the Avalanche and preview their home opener tonight as they host Utah.

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.

The Unthinkable: Pittsburgh Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby Has Requested A Trade 09/13/25Sell the team to whomever you want, we don't care. Put whoever you want in goal on September 27th when the Pens play meaningless hockey against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Yeah, even Marc-André Fleury. For the record, we've done the Farewell-to-Flower thing at PPG Paints Arena THREE times already. cough-cough .. money-grab .. cough-cough…None of that matters anymore, because…Sidney Crosby, via his longtime agent, Pat Brisson has for all intents and purposes made it known that he would like to be traded; essentially he's requested to play NHL hockey for a team other than the Penguins.

Join Michael DiStefano, Jeff O'Neill and Jamie McLennan for Hour 1 on OverDrive! The guys discuss the Eagles' opening victory against the Cowboys, Jalen Carter spitting on Dak Prescott and if he receives supplemental discipline, the Chiefs' outlook for the season and Travis Kelce's role on the team, Cale Makar's possible value on his contract, Connor McDavid's future with the Oilers.

In this Summer Coolers episode of NHL Wraparound, hosts Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine the Colorado Avalanche, a franchise that continues to contend—but still hasn't returned to the Stanley Cup Final since hoisting the trophy in 2022.The Avalanche finished the 2024–25 season with 102 points and their eighth straight playoff appearance, but fell in Game 7 to the Dallas Stars in the second round. The hosts dive into what's holding the Avs back from reclaiming the Cup, despite the presence of two of the league's most electrifying stars: Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar.They also break down a relatively quiet offseason highlighted by the signing of Brent Burns, the addition of Victor Olofsson, and the trade that brought in Gavin Brindley while shipping out Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood. The Avalanche also re-signed key contributors like Brock Nelson, Parker Kelly, and Josh Manson, while losing depth pieces like Jonathan Drouin and Ryan Lindgren.As the Avs prepare for another run, the big questions remain: Is this still a Cup-caliber team? Or have they become more sizzle than substance?IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Avalanche recap: Consistency without deep playoff success[00:36] Game 7 vs. Dallas: A haunting finish to a promising year[01:00] Star power vs. depth: Are MacKinnon & Makar enough?[02:00] Offseason review: Brent Burns signs, Coyle/Wood traded[03:00] Gavin Brindley's upside and forward depth[04:00] UFA/RFA re-signings: Nelson, Manson, Vejdemo, Kelly[05:00] Defensive pairings: Makar, Toews, Manson, Burns[06:00] Goaltending: Blackwood and Wedgewood tandem[07:00] Full-strength roster? Landeskog returns to open season[08:00] A stacked Central Division: Dallas, Winnipeg, Colorado[09:00] Why playoff format hurts deep divisionsKEY TAKEAWAYS:Colorado's core remains elite, with MacKinnon, Makar, Rantanen, and Landeskog leading the way, but playoff progress has stalled.The addition of Brent Burns offers leadership and power-play presence, but the team needs more from its second-tier stars.Gabriel Landeskog's full-season return could be a game-changer, giving Colorado much-needed leadership and physicality.Goaltending remains a question: Blackwood and Wedgewood must prove they can deliver postseason-caliber performances.The Central Division is brutal—with Dallas and Winnipeg also strong, one top-tier team will inevitably exit early due to the current playoff format.RESOURCE LINKS:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgBj1LV0-DMfBhcRPSJZLjAX (Twitter): https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nhlwraparoundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555451139787#NHL #Hockey #Podcast #ColoradoAvalanche #JaredBednar #NathanMacKinnon #CaleMakar #BrentBurns #VictorOlofsson #GavinBrindley #CharlieCoyle #MilesWood #BrockNelson #ParkerKelly #JoshManson #JoelKiviranta #JonathanDrouin #RyanLindgren #JimmyVesey #IvanIvan #DevonToews #SamGirard #SamMalinski #MackenzieBlackwood #ScottWedgewood #ValNichushkin #JackDrury #RossColton #MartinNecas #ArtturiLehkonen #GabrielLandeskog
