It is nothing short of remarkable to see Jordan Staal, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang still playing at a high level. Staal became the oldest player in NHL history to win the Conn Smythe. Carolina won the Stanley Cup. Carolina won with a journeyman goaltender and don't have a generational star player but are a great team. Paul Skenes is not a big part of the Pirates problems, but he's not helping.

The Stanley Cup Final is four games deep, and we're breaking down everything we've seen from the series so far, including our updated predictions, biggest surprises, and whether momentum has shifted heading into the final stretch. We also dive into the latest Dylan Larkin trade rumors, with reports linking the Red Wings captain to Florida, Minnesota, and Vegas. Which destination makes the most sense, which teams need him the most, and what could Detroit realistically expect in return for a player with four years remaining on his contract? We also discuss the Edmonton Oilers' decision to hire Mike Babcock as their next head coach, whether coaching was truly the team's biggest issue, and what Babcock brings to the table that Kris Knoblauch didn't. Plus, we react to the latest NHL Awards, including the Jack Adams, Norris, Ted Lindsay, and Vezina Trophy winners, before making our own predictions for who will take home the Hart Trophy. In this week's Money Moves segment, we examine the Minnesota Wild's six-year extension for Michael McCarron and what it means for their salary cap situation moving forward, as well as Evgeni Malkin's new one-year deal to remain in Pittsburgh. Would we have made the same decisions if we were running those organizations? Finally, we continue our offseason Team In Review series with the Vancouver Canucks, Chicago Blackhawks, and Calgary Flames, identifying the biggest priorities each franchise must address this summer. We wrap things up with another edition of Flaming Hot Takes, where we each bring two bold NHL predictions and put them to the test. #NHL #Hockey #StanleyCupFinal #StanleyCup #NHLPlayoffs #ConnorMcDavid #NathanMacKinnon #DylanLarkin #DetroitRedWings #EdmontonOilers #VegasGoldenKnights #FloridaPanthers #MinnesotaWild #MikeBabcock #NHLRumors #HockeyPodcast #AfterTheHorn #GuerillaSports #HockeyTalk #NHLNews Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Also, did you see the incentives the Penguins are giving Malkin in this new contract? May 27, 2026, 7:00 Hour
Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson react to the incentives that are reportedly in the new contract that the Penguins are giving to Evgeni Malkin.
A big win for the Buccos last night, beating the Cubs 12-1 at PNC Park. Another sharp start for Braxton Ashcraft, but is there about to be a problem? Is it a good problem to have? The Pirates have Jared Jones coming back to the rotation, but they have a slew of young arms that are on innings limits. 2 Pirates-Fan contributors have suggested Ashcraft being the man to the bullpen upon Jones' return. That seems like it would be a big much, considering Ashcraft has been the best starter on the team – even better than Paul Skenes. Marcell Ozuna continues to struggle, but the Pirates offense overall has been great. Imagine if this guy begins carrying his weight. Calls on the Pirates pitching predicament. HOCKEY TALK! We haven't heard from usual guest Tyler Kennedy in a few weeks, which has sparked concern about our show. It seems like a few team reporters were swerved by the Evgeni Malkin re-signing. Did ownership push Kyle Dubas to bring Geno back?
It's an early edition of "Beyond the Bylines" with Joe Starkey and Tim Benz. The guys talk about Evgeni Malkin's new contract, Braxton Ashcraft's latest start, Ben Roethlisberger's comments about Drew Allar, the National Spelling Bee, ghost hunting, and ice cream cones.

The Stanley Cup Playoffs continue to deliver chaos, storylines and plenty of pressure across the league. On this episode with Brenden Escott and David Pagnotta, we break down the state of the Western Conference as the Vegas Golden Knights push the Colorado Avalanche to the brink and discuss whether Vegas is simply executing at an elite level — or if Colorado is falling short in the biggest moments. We also dive into Mitch Marner's Conn Smythe-worthy postseason and the impact he's having on Vegas' run. We also discuss John Tortorella's future behind the bench and whether his team's performance down the stretch has strengthened his case to remain as head coach moving forward. Out East, the Montreal Canadiens are searching for answers against a relentless Carolina Hurricanes forecheck that has completely dictated the pace of the series. Is there still a path back for the Habs, or are we seeing the gap in experience and execution become too much to overcome? Plus, Evgeni Malkin returns to Pittsburgh on a bonus-heavy extension, the Edmonton Oilers continue their coaching search as speculation builds around the type of candidate they're targeting and we look at the latest developments surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs' search for their next head coach.

Who will be the man heading to the bullpen when Jared Jones comes back? Is there a chance Brandon Lowe has a better season than what Andrew McCutchen did in his MVP campaign?
