Episode 320 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a great in-depth interview with top New York Rangers goalie prospect Dylan Garand. In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Garand shares stories and insights from his first three seasons of pro hockey, including the goal setting strategy that was part of being named an AHL All Star least season, and lessons from Rangers greats like Benoit Allaire and Igor Shesterkin.

This week on 2 Guys & A Goalie, the crew dives into the wild rumour that Kirill Kaprizov apparently turned down a $16-million AAV deal. What does it say about his value, and could we ever see an NHL player push for that kind of money?   Plus, with rookie camps underway across the NHL, we swap some of the best stories from past rookie camps — from standout performances to unforgettable moments that gave fans a first look at future stars.   2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!

In this Summer Coolers edition of NHL Wraparound, Neil Smith and Vic Morren spotlight one of the most resilient turnarounds of the 2024–25 season: the St. Louis Blues.After a rough start under Drew Bannister, the Blues handed the reins to Jim Montgomery—and never looked back. A remarkable 35-18-7 run followed, including a 12-game winning streak that pushed them into the playoffs. Though their season ended in heartbreak—blowing a two-goal lead in the final minutes of Game 7 vs. Winnipeg—the Blues showed serious promise.With savvy offseason additions, consistent goaltending, and a rock-solid system, the Blues are building a team that no one wants to play against. Montgomery's influence is already turning heads.

In this Summer Coolers edition of NHL Wraparound, Neil Smith and Vic Morren break down the newly renamed Utah Mammoth—formerly the Utah Hockey Club—who enter their first season with a permanent identity and rising expectations.Despite a rebrand and a new home in Salt Lake City, the pressure remains: make the playoffs for the first time in six years. With a talented forward group, fresh additions on defense, and three NHL-level goaltenders, this team may be young—but they're no longer rebuilding.

In this Summer Coolers episode of NHL Wraparound, Neil Smith and Vic Morren dig into a franchise in transition: the Philadelphia Flyers.Rick Tocchet steps behind the bench, marking the team's third coach in three seasons after Brad Shaw and John Tortorella. Meanwhile, Trevor Zegras arrives in a headline-making trade, bringing high-end skill and a much-needed spark to a Flyers team that's been stuck in neutral offensively—particularly on the power play.The Flyers haven't made the playoffs since the COVID-era bubble (2020), but now—with an infusion of youth, a tough-minded new bench boss, and real promise in net—the orange and black faithful may finally have a reason to believe.

The biggest question in hockey right now: Will Connor McDavid commit his future to the Edmonton Oilers?   In this episode, the guys break down all the possibilities — from how long the next deal could be, to how much it might cost, and what it means for the Oilers' window to win with the best player in the world. Could we see a max-term contract? A shorter bridge-style deal? Or is there even a chance McDavid doesn't re-sign in Edmonton at all?   2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!

Send us a textColorado sophomore goalie Elena Oh's path to the net is anything but traditional.Before lacrosse, she spent 12 years competing in jump rope, and she didn't even start playing goalie until after her freshman year of high school. Just a year and a half later, she found herself committing to Colorado — her only offer — and now she's making a name for herself in the Big 12.Last season, the former Lax Goalie Rat summer intern was named to the Big 12 All-Newcomer Team, earned Goalkeeper of the Week four times in a row, and set a career high in her second appearance with a .667 save percent in her second appearance ever.In this episode, Elena talks about her journey from picking up a stick late to becoming Colorado's starter as a freshman. From a PVC goal in her basement to her first appearance in a game versus the then-reigning national champions, Oh shares how much she simply loves the game and how that love has carried her through the pressures of college lacrosse.For her, it's about playing for fun, playing for her teammates, and remembering the “why” behind it all. She dives into the mental side of goalkeeping too — how she resets after tough moments and keeps perspective in the net.Elena also reflects on representing Team Korea at the U20 World Championships, an experience that deepened her appreciation for different cultures and for the opportunities lacrosse has given her.While the Korean national team wasn't a high finisher, Oh reflected on playing with a language barrier and being a part of the movement to spread the sport. Whether it's competing on an international stage or making her first collegiate appearance against Northwestern, Elena plays with gratitude, joy, and a mindset that keeps her grounded.Great conversation with podcast editor and former intern Elena Oh, SKO BUFFS!Support the show

In aflevering 6 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast praten sportjournalist Barry van der Hooft en presentator Juriën Dam je bij over de afgelopen Zeeuwse voetbalweek. Barry vertelt onder meer over de waarschuwing die hij uitdeelde. Dat laatste gebeurde in Goes, waar een toeschouwer zijn duidelijke mening over het Nederlands elftal en Jan Paul van Hecke ventileerde. Op eigen veld won Goes van Scheveningen, waardoor het van de hatelijke nul af is. Ondanks de matige competitiestart oogt de ranglijst zo slecht nog niet voor de ploeg van trainer Giovanni Siereveld. Kloetinge won eerder deze week in de KNVB beker van DVO, en volgens een journalist van De Limburger werken de Bevelanders wel met een enorme ruime begroting. Er wordt gesproken over de topper tegen Blauw Geel’38, de nieuwe fase waarin Kloetinge zit en over het scorend vermogen. Hoek speelde in een allesbehalve saaie wedstrijd met 0-0 gelijk tegen Jong Sparta. De Zeeuwse doelman Rik Suur blonk uit bij de Rotterdammers en hem laten we ook aan het woord. De Spartanen spelen al sinds 2016 op het niveau van de tweede divisie. Toen maakten twee Zeeuwen deel uit van die selectie, en ook twee spelers die later iets minder goed in het nieuws kwamen. Ook gaat het nog over Zeeuwse dames in de Eredivisie, de warming-up die Barry ooit liep in Spakenburg en ook komen ook de namen van Marvin Young, Memphis Depay en Alexander Büttner voorbij.Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 319 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features the return of Swedish goalie coach Majiec Szwoch and a deep dive into his research attempting to measure success when it comes to drafting and developing goalies into the NHL.In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, who last joined us after helping Farjestad win the Swedish Hockey League championship, walks us through his study exploring the drafting and development of goaltenders into the NHL between 2015 and 2025. He explains how he used data from 322 goalies affiliated with NHL organizations to evaluate draft success by comparing invested value with actual return, measured in games played and trade value, while also investigating geographic and organizational trends in selection and development.  The interview includes this week's Parent Segment, appropriately presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, we wrap up Hutch's top-10 ways to ensure this is your best season as a goalie parent with #s 6 through 10.We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, which features Devin Cooley breaking down stance against a rush, as well as a skate-or-slide decisions on a lateral pass.And in our weekly gear segment, we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a closer look at the True L87 7X, a lower price point option with pro features and sweet vintage style. 

In this Summer Coolers edition of NHL Wraparound, hosts Neil Smith and Vic Morren review the offseason, roster structure, and playoff hopes of the Columbus Blue Jackets—a team that came painfully close to breaking their five-year postseason drought in 2024–25.The Blue Jackets finished with 89 points, just two shy of the final wild card spot, and were eliminated by a regulation win tiebreaker after going winless against the St. Louis Blues in the season series. Despite the heartbreak, the Jackets were one of the NHL's surprise teams, boasting an offense that tied for 7th in the league (3.26 GPG) and scoring six or more goals in 16 games.This episode examines Columbus's offseason decisions, including the high-profile Charlie Coyle–Miles Wood trade with Colorado, the questionable seven-year, $8.5M deal for Ivan Provorov, and the tragic loss of Johnny Gaudreau, which emotionally galvanized the team early in the season.Can this team stay healthy and consistent for all 82 games? And does head coach Ken Evison have another motivational gear without the emotional backdrop of last year?IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Columbus recap: Falling short of the wild card[00:38] Offensive strides and surprising firepower[01:00] Coyle & Wood in, Brindley & picks out in trade with Colorado[01:45] Reviewing free agent signings: Hudson Fasching and re-signings[02:30] The shock of the Provorov deal: 7 years, $8.5M AAV[03:30] Tragic loss of Johnny Gaudreau and impact on locker room[04:00] Goalie update: Jet Greaves promoted behind Elvis Merzlikins[05:00] Deadline departures: Tarasov, Kuraly, JVR, Danforth, Harris[06:00] What might have been: injuries to Monahan and Jenner[06:30] Playoff odds: Can they push over the line this time?[07:00] Shoutout: Matthew Olivier's breakout year and fan favorite statusKEY TAKEAWAYS:Columbus made strides offensively last season but lacked late-season consistency, finishing the final stretch 4–11–1 before winning six straight.The Provorov contract surprised many: a long-term, high-AAV commitment for a player with declining impact.Injuries to Boone Jenner and Sean Monahan derailed what was shaping up to be a playoff-bound season.Players like Kent Johnson, Marchenko, Fantilli, and Sillinger will need to continue developing for the team to reach the next level.Matthew Olivier and Miles Wood are expected to form one of the toughest fourth lines in the NHL, offering a physical edge.In a crowded Metro Division, the Blue Jackets' playoff hopes are real—but so are the risks of another near miss.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 #ColumbusBlueJackets #CharlieCoyle #MilesWood #GavinBrindley #HudsonFasching #IvanProvorov #DanteFabbro #OwenSillinger #DmitriVoronkov #DaemonHunt #JohnnyGaudreau #MatthewGaudreau #DeanEvason #SeanMonahan #KirillMarchenko #YegorChinakov #AdamFantilli #KentJohnson #BooneJenner #ZachWerenski #DaniilTarasov #ElvisMerzlikins #JetGreaves #SeanKuraly #JordanHarris #PatrikLaine #JustinDanforth #JamesvanRiemsdyk #MathieuOlivier

In this Summer Coolers edition of NHL Wraparound, hosts Neil Smith and Vic Morren assess the state of the Buffalo Sabres, a team that once again finds itself outside the playoff picture—with 14 consecutive seasons without a postseason appearance.Despite fielding the 10th-ranked offense in the NHL last year (3.23 goals per game), the Sabres were undone by a porous defense, surrendering 3.50 goals against per game—tied for 29th in the league. That imbalance ultimately left them short once again, and this offseason's moves raise more questions than answers.Buffalo made a surprising decision to trade J.J. Peterka—one of their most promising offensive talents—to Utah for Josh Doan and defenseman Michael Kesselring, signaling a possible shift in identity. The hosts debate whether the team has improved at all, or if they've simply shuffled the deck with hopes of becoming "harder to play against."IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] The Sabres: Still on the outside looking in[00:30] Trading Peterka: A puzzling move for physicality over skill[01:00] Offseason additions: Doan, Kesselring, Timmins, Bevo, Jones, Danforth[01:30] Goalie update: Devon Levi returns, Luukkonen still in the mix[02:00] Key RFA re-signings: Byram, McLeod, Quinn, Johnson[02:45] Where does the turnaround come from?[03:15] Prospect watch: Anton Wahlberg & Konsta Helenius[04:00] Defensive outlook: Dahlin, Power, Byram, and new faces[04:45] Can the goaltending support this blue line?[05:15] Final verdict: More grit—but not more wins?KEY TAKEAWAYS:Buffalo's defense-heavy offseason suggests a pivot toward physicality—but the loss of J.J. Peterka removes a key offensive weapon.The defense core has potential, with Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power, and Bowen Byram leading the way, but it's still unproven as a cohesive unit.Goaltending needs to be elite if this team wants to overcome its offensive step back—can Devon Levi and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen deliver?While the Sabres appear deeper on the blue line, it's unclear if they've made enough improvement to leapfrog teams like Montreal, Detroit, Columbus, or Ottawa in the East.With Lindy Ruff back behind the bench, expectations are higher—but so is the pressure.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 #BuffaloSabres #JJPeterka #JoshDoan #MichaelKesselring #ConorTimmins #IsaacBelliveau #ConnorClifton #JustinDanforth #ZacJones #JackQuinn #RyanJohnson #TysonKozak #RyanMcLeod #BowenByram #DevonLevi #LindyRuff #RasmusDahlin #OwenPower #Ukko-PekkaLuukkonen
