The NHL is on Olympic break — and the Detroit Red Wings are sitting third in the Atlantic Division. But what does that actually mean? According to Max Bultman's latest mailbag, the Eastern Conference cut line may land closer to 99 points this year — not the 91–92 we've seen recently. That makes the simple “.500 hockey gets you in” narrative a little too comfortable. In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we break down: Why 96 points might not be enough • Why Columbus is the real threat right now • The importance of staying in the divisional seed vs falling to wild card • Ideal playoff matchups (Montreal? Buffalo?) • Nightmare scenarios (Tampa or Carolina) • Whether Yzerman actually adds at the deadline this year • John Gibson's extension debate • And why MLB is suddenly broadcasting the Detroit Red Wings after the FanDuel Sports bankruptcy The league is frozen. The trade market is paused. But the playoff math is very real. Detroit controls its destiny — for now. #LGRW #DetroitRedWings #NHLPlayoffs #AtlanticDivision #MaxBultman   JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let's have fun!   Sponsored by Draft Kings!   Find us on your favorite Podcast App by clicking here: https://link.chtbl.com/redwingsrant   Episode sponsored by Draft Kings.

Buzz City is alive. The Charlotte Hornets have ripped off their first nine-game winning streak since 1999 and now sit just one win away from tying the franchise record set in 1997-98. In just three weeks, they've gone from the bottom of the Eastern Conference to the 10th seed at 25-28 — completely flipping their season. So what changed?

Charlotte owns the #3 Net Rating in the NBA over this stretch, with a top-5 Defensive Rating and a dominant +13 point differential. Moussa Diabaté has turned into a double-double force, controlling the glass with monster rebounding performances. Is this sustainable?

What a week.The Pistons traded Jaden Ivey to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Kevin Huerter, Dario Saric, and a 2026 first round pick swap. They were blown out in embarrassing fashion by the short-handed Wizards. Then they turned around and took the Knicks behind the woodshed on the second night of a back-to-back! Wes and Blake break it all down, diving into the main takeaways from that trade deadline and the game against New York. They discuss if we are all looking at the deadline backwards, every other Eastern Conference team needs to catch Detroit, not the other way around, after all. They react to Kevin Huerter's addition and early performances, and they take a look at Ausar Thompson's Defensive Player of the Years odds as well.We've got you covered for all this and more in this week's episode!You can watch the entire episode on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Wes Davenport on Twitter ⁠⁠@TheRealWesD3⁠⁠Follow Blake Silverman on Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@BlakeSilverman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Detroit Bad Boys on Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@DetroitBadBoys⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to hear your voice on the Pindown?

It's Super Bowl week on Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank, and Season 7, Episode 22 is proudly dedicated to Emmitt B. Smith—no debate required. Dan Fox and Frank Knight are joined once again by Allan “Action” Jackson for a wide-ranging Super Bowl edition that blends big-game analysis with winter sports nostalgia, league chaos, and classic basement-studio banter.The episode opens with the timing collision of the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics, sparking a spirited discussion about favorite (and least favorite) Olympic events—from hockey and bobsledding to ski jumping, curling, and the legendary “Agony of Defeat.” The crew reflects on old-school ABC Sports memories, Milan hosting duties, Team USA rooting interests, and why Olympic hockey still captures something pro leagues can't.From there, the conversation turns to the NBA and NHL, where trade deadlines and retooling decisions leave plenty of fans frustrated. The Sixers' salary-dump moves draw criticism, the Eastern Conference logjam gets dissected, and the NBA All-Star Game takes its usual beating. On the ice, the Rangers' decision to move on from Artemi Panarin sparks debate, while the Avalanche, Hurricanes, and Lightning are sized up as true Stanley Cup threats.The middle of the show explodes into a passionate Hall of Fame debate, with Bill Belichick's continued exclusion drawing unanimous outrage. The crew argues that the story of the NFL simply cannot be told without him, criticizes the voting process and media agendas, and revisits long-running cases for players like Eli Manning, Darren Woodson, Jim Plunkett, and others caught in Hall of Fame purgatory.The back half of the episode is all Super Bowl. Dan, Frank, Alan, and Rich break down the matchup from every angle—quarterbacks, defenses, coaching staffs, turnovers, injuries, and pressure points. Seattle's defense, New England's experience, Sam Darnold's volatility, Drake May's upside, and Mike Vrabel's influence all factor into sharply divided predictions. Final scores are locked in, the under/over gets debated, and playoff pick records are loudly defended as only this group can do.The show closes with Super Bowl party logistics, family shout-outs, good-natured trash talk, and a reminder of what grounds the podcast beyond sports.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

Thanalysis is also presented by Potawatomi Casino Hotel and McDonald's. 

Ailish Forfar and Jesse Fuchs kick off the Thursday show by welcoming Associated Press writer Tim Reynolds from Cortina (1:23).

Next, the Athletic's Shayna Goldman stops by (26:50) to run through some hockey headlines on the final night ahead of the NHL's Olympic break, including Team Canada swapping Seth Jarvis in for the injured Brayden Point, darkhorse medal threats in Milan, and Leon Draisaitl's postgame rant after the Oilers' third straight loss.

After a depressing season last year, things for the Rangers have only gotten worse, as the Rangers are currently dead last in the Eastern Conference.

"Baskin & Phelps" wonder if the Cavs are now favorites in the East with the moves they've made before yesterday's trade deadline.

The first hour of "Baskin & Phelps" for Friday, February 6, 2026.

We're live tonight talking football and hoops with a packed show. We'll start with Washington's newest assistant coach on the defensive line and run game coordination, what the hire says about the direction of the defense, and how it fits into the overall coaching staff.From there we turn our attention to Super Bowl Sunday, previewing the matchup between New England and Seattle, the biggest storylines heading into the game, the key matchups to watch, and what could ultimately decide the championship.And of course we have to get into the blockbuster move by the Wizards involving Anthony Davis, what it means for the franchise moving forward, and how it could shake up the Eastern Conference.Plenty of football, plenty of basketball, and a lot to react to. Jump in, drop your takes in the chat, and let's talk.

Brad Evans and Pat Boyle chat with Ian Begley on why the Knicks could win the Eastern Conference, the potential risks, and why Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges are one of the league's top duos. They also break down the toughest remaining schedule and the biggest threats to the No. 1 seed.

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and fill-in producer Cristian Ceniti open the Thursday show by reviewing Nick's recent article on the Toronto Maple Leafs' direction as the Olympic break gets underway. They discuss Bobby McMann's value, the Leafs' standing in the Eastern Conference, Anthony Stolarz's market, and what to expect from Auston Matthews and William Nylander at the Olympics. Then, they discuss the potential consequences of the team missing the playoffs. Later, former NHL GM Gord Stellick stops by (31:44) to react to the news that Team Canada will swap Seth Jarvis in for Brayden Point, which direction the Leafs should go at the deadline, which players they should be comfortable shipping out ahead of March 6, and his Olympic predictions.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Jets get Frank Reich and a billboard in times square that compares them to Gavin Newsome. It's enough of the cheap shots! Big Mac is not thrilled by the return that Artemi Panarin brought back to the Rangers after being dealt to the Kings. Plus, NBA trade deadline is making it harder for the Knicks to compete in the Eastern Conference. Being the representative for the New England Patriots is embarrassing to all of New Jersey. Plus, who cares about Darren Mougey's real feelings? Carton thinks the key to an NBA Finals for the New York Knicks is Draymond Green. Plus, the real question is who DOESN'T know about "The W"?

Big Mac is not thrilled by the return that Artemi Panarin brought back to the Rangers after being dealt to the Kings. Plus, NBA trade deadline is making it harder for the Knicks to compete in the Eastern Conference.

The NBA trade deadline delivered fewer blockbusters and more balance-sheet manoeuvres - but the consequences are massive. We break down every meaningful move and what it actually means on the court.Cleveland emerges as the clear winner, upgrading fit, saving roughly $100M in luxury tax, and improving its Eastern Conference title odds. Indiana lands one of the league's most underrated centres in Ivica Zubac and sets itself up for another deep playoff run. The Clippers tear down mid-season without owning their pick, Golden State doubles down on a failed two-timeline gamble, and multiple franchises choose tax avoidance over contention.We cover the Zubac deal fallout, Harden's impact, Porziņģis to Golden State, Boston's margin moves, Chicago's guard overload, Memphis hitting reset, Utah betting big on Jaren Jackson Jr., Washington absorbing stars to hit the floor, and why some teams were right to do nothing at all.No hype. No rumours. Just what actually happened, and who it helps. 

With the NBA trade deadline just hours away, the league is holding its breath after a revealing quote from Giannis Antetokounmpo: “I want to be here, but I want to win.” Evan and Tiki react to what that really signals about Giannis' future in Milwaukee and whether the Knicks were ever truly in the mix. The guys are joined by Ian Begley to break down why Giannis may ultimately stay put, how his situation slowed the entire trade market, and what realistic moves the New York Knicks could still make before the buzzer. They also examine how recent moves by Cleveland and Boston reshape the Eastern Conference, why asset limitations matter for New York, and whether the real Giannis sweepstakes are more likely to spill into the offseason. It is a deadline-eve deep dive into superstar leverage, front office patience, and what Knicks fans should actually be rooting for when the clock hits 3:00 PM.

James Harden & The NBA's Deadline Deals SHAKE UP Gil's Arena as Gilbert Arenas & the Gil's Arena Crew react to James Harden being dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Darius Garland and debate how Harden teaming up with Donovan Mitchell on the Cavs changes the dynamic of the NBA's Eastern Conference. They also discuss how another trade for the Beard impacts his legacy before breaking down another blockbuster in the NBA Trade Deadling as Jaren Jackson Jr was dealt to the Utah Jazz for a treaure chest of 1st Round Picks and discuss what this move means for Ja Morant as the team shipped off his best teammate and commited to building around Zach Edey. Next, they react to Kawhi Leonard getting added to the NBA All Star Roster by Adam Silver and give their final takes on the league's midseason classic before reacting to smaller deals occuring across the NBA including the Boston Celtics making a deal for Nikola Vucevic to bolster their surprise contending season. Finally, they react to Cooper Flagg dropping a career high 49 points on Kon Knueppel to prove he's the best rookie in the NBA and discuss Jason Kidd standing on business over his decision to play Flagg at the Point Guard position early in his career.
