Podcast appearances and mentions of John Carlson

The Lightning's season opener went about as sideways as a game can go: a 5-1 loss at Madison Square Garden capped by Igor Shesterkin becoming the first goaltender in Rangers history to score a goal, while Tampa Bay finished 0-for-7 on the power play. Rick and Steve dig into why it wasn't as alarming as it looked — Victor Hedman's comfortably accepted a smaller role (and dropped weight going gluten-free to stay fast at 18 seasons in), John Carlson is still adjusting from running Alex Ovechkin's power play in Washington to feeding Nikita Kucherov in Tampa, and hockey's a "flow sport" that's brutally hard to simulate in the preseason. The Lightning still own the NHL's third-best season-opening winning percentage all time, and they get a schedule edge Saturday against a Capitals team playing the second half of a back-to-back.From there, it's a deep look at Jalen Daniels' first career start — the first rookie quarterback to play anywhere in the league this season, despite going undrafted. Rick traces how the Bucs got here (Teddy Bridgewater's disastrous relief outing last year, Jake Browning's poor camp this summer) and argues Daniels doesn't need to be great against a genuinely bad Packers team that can't run or stop the run; the defense and Chase McLaughlin's perfect kicking can carry him. A mailbag question floats Daniels as a potential Marty St. Louis-style undrafted success story, and the guys note the historical case for not rushing rookie quarterbacks, with nine of the ten passers drafted this year still holding a clipboard. The back half previews a jam-packed Tampa Bay weekend — Rays-Yankees ALDS Game 1 at the Trop, the Lightning's home opener, USF hosting Temple for a shot at a first-ever conference title, and Florida traveling to Missouri — plus a quick look at Cleveland's Deshaun Watson turnaround under Todd Monken.Timestamps:0:08 – Lightning season-opener recap: 5-1 loss at the Rangers, a historic goalie goal, 0-for-7 power play3:22 – Victor Hedman's accepted role change, revamped diet, and his 18th season5:39 – Lightning's historic season-opening record; Saturday's schedule edge over Washington6:46 – Power play struggles: John Carlson adjusting from Ovechkin's power play to feeding Kucherov9:00 – Why "flow sports" like hockey are harder to simulate in the preseason11:50 – Sponsor: Breitling Boutique, International Plaza13:16 – How the Bucs got here: Teddy Bridgewater's rough relief stint and Jake Browning's camp struggles16:13 – Jalen Daniels: the first rookie QB to start anywhere in the NFL this year, despite going undrafted18:16 – Context: the last team to start 0-4 and make the playoffs was the 1992 Chargers19:51 – Why Daniels doesn't need to be great — Green Bay's offense and run defense are a mess22:32 – Chase McLaughlin's perfect season and the "just be you" message for Daniels25:36 – Mailbag: Could Daniels become the next Marty St. Louis-style undrafted success story?26:03 – Why most of this year's ten drafted rookie QBs are sitting behind veterans30:37 – What a Daniels win (or two) would really mean once Baker Mayfield returns31:38 – MLB's wild-card format gripe: Rays drawn into a best-of-three with the Yankees34:44 – A loaded Tampa Bay weekend: Rays, Lightning, USF and the Rowdies all home Saturday39:09 – Cleveland's Deshaun Watson turnaround under Tom Monken42:09 – College football weekend: Florida at Missouri, USF hosts Temple for a shot at a first conference title Hosted on Acast.

Summer Coolers – Tampa Bay LightningThe Tampa Bay Lightning enter 2026-27 with Jon Cooper beginning his 15th season behind the bench after finally capturing the Jack Adams Award. But Tampa Bay's championship core is getting older, and GM Julien BriseBois made some fascinating decisions this summer. Darren Raddysh and Nick Paul are gone, while veteran John Carlson joins a blue line already featuring Victor Hedman and Ryan McDonagh. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine whether Tampa still has another Stanley Cup run left—or whether age is finally becoming the Lightning's biggest opponent.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] Jon Cooper begins his 15th season with Tampa Bay after receiving the long-awaited Jack Adams Trophy as NHL Coach of the Year.[00:00:20] One of the offseason's biggest surprises is Darren Raddysh being signed and then traded following a breakout season on Tampa's injury-depleted blue line.[00:00:40] Raddysh signs an eight-year, $8.5 million-per-season contract before being sent to Toronto for a 2026 fifth-round pick.[00:00:55] Nick Paul also heads to Toronto after establishing himself as one of the NHL's more dependable middle-six forwards.[00:01:00] Tampa receives goaltender Dennis Hildeby plus 2027 and 2028 draft picks in the Paul deal.[00:01:15] John Carlson joins Tampa as a free agent, but his arrival only increases the age of an already veteran defense.[00:01:30] Victor Hedman is 35, Carlson 36 and Ryan McDonagh 37, creating questions about how long this defensive core can remain effective.[00:01:45] Neil notes that Hedman is reportedly healthy and ready to return after not playing following March 10.[00:02:00] Tampa will miss Raddysh's booming point shot and the career-best offensive season he produced before being dealt.[00:02:20] Neil believes the Lightning need to begin stocking the organization with younger defensemen because Hedman, Carlson and McDonagh cannot remain the foundation forever.[00:02:40] The aging issue extends up front. Nikita Kucherov is 33, Jake Guentzel 31 and Brayden Point 30, while Brandon Hagel is 27.[00:03:00] Andrei Vasilevskiy remains an elite goaltender, but Neil points to his history of hip issues as something Tampa must continue monitoring.[00:03:25] Hildeby provides another option in goal, while Tampa also adds Matt Zuccarello and Ilya Mikheyev.[00:03:50] Jeffrey Viel and Jansen Harkins bring bottom-six depth, with Viel coming off an impressive playoff performance in Anaheim.[00:04:00] Scott Sabourin returns on a one-year deal, giving Tampa additional toughness for matchups against its increasingly physical Florida rival.[00:04:30] Neil likes Viel and Sabourin as players who can provide some of the grit Tampa will need against the Panthers.[00:05:00] Corey Perry returns to Los Angeles, while Oliver Bjorkstrand joins the Rangers, Mitchell Chaffee heads to the Islanders and Declan Carlile signs with Pittsburgh.[00:05:20] Prospects to watch include Sam O'Reilly, Dylan Duke and 2023 second-round pick Ethan Gauthier.[00:05:45] Vic returns to the biggest offseason question: why trade Raddysh when he is six years younger than Carlson and both received $8.5 million annually?[00:06:00] Neil believes the answer is track record. Raddysh produced one outstanding season, while Carlson has demonstrated his value for roughly a decade.[00:06:20] Tampa is committing only two years to Carlson compared with the eight-year commitment attached to Raddysh.[00:06:40] Neil considers Raddysh's contract a major gamble because he has only one season that truly supports an $8.5 million valuation.[00:07:00] BriseBois apparently decided he could not justify that long-term risk, accepted a fifth-round pick and moved on.Tampa Bay still possesses Kucherov, Point, Guentzel, Hedman and Vasilevskiy, so the talent remains formidable. But this is now the NHL's seventh-oldest roster, and several cornerstone players are entering the later stages of their careers. The Lightning remain dangerous—but the urgency to squeeze another championship out of this core is becoming impossible to ignore.

Erik Erlendsson joins the program to discuss the Tampa Bay Lightning. Jesse and Victor ask about pros Nikita Kucherov, Jake Guentzel, Brandon Hagel, Brayden Point, Anthony Cirelli, Ilya Mikheyev, Gage Goncalves, Conor Geekie, Benjamin Rautiainen, John Carlson, Victor Hedman, Charle-Edouard D'Astous, Andrei Vasilevskiy, Jonas Johansson, and Dennis Hildeby. In Cat's instincts, Cat Silverman of InGoal magazine joins to discuss prospect goalies Dennis Hildeby, Mads Søgaard, Harrison Meneghin, and Caleb Heil.

Vancouver Consumer - September 12, 2026 - John Carlson with John Carlson Real Estate

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett preview the Tampa Bay Lightning heading into the 2026-27 season and ask whether this veteran core still has another serious Stanley Cup run left in it. Tampa remains loaded at the top with Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Jake Guentzel, Brandon Hagel and Andrei Vasilevskiy, but after four straight first-round playoff exits, simply being great during the regular season isn't good enough anymore. The guys break down the addition of John Carlson, Victor Hedman's return, some of the changes around the roster and whether Tampa can finally turn another strong regular season into playoff success. The talent is obviously still there, but with this core getting older and the Atlantic looking extremely competitive, how many more chances does this version of the Lightning have to make another run at the Cup?Video Link: https://youtu.be/ZLCrEzx4uy8#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #tampabaylightning CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8

Summer Coolers – Anaheim DucksThe Anaheim Ducks finally broke through in 2025-26, finishing third in the Pacific Division, returning to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2018, and advancing to the second round. But after a summer filled with major departures and a massive $18 million offer sheet for Leo Carlsson that Anaheim was forced to match, Neil Smith and Vic Morren believe the Ducks may have taken a significant step backward. They examine the salary-cap consequences, the loss of several physical veteran defensemen, and why this could become an extremely difficult season for Joel Quenneville and General Manager Pat Verbeek.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] Anaheim comes off its best season in years, finishing third in the Pacific and making the playoffs for the first time since 2018. The Ducks defeat Edmonton in six games before losing to the Vegas Golden Knights in six.[00:00:25] The offense makes a major jump, improving from 30th to 13th in the NHL. The defense, however, surprisingly falls from 22nd to 29th despite Joel Quenneville being behind the bench.[00:00:45] Anaheim's power play improves from 32nd to 23rd, while the penalty kill also takes a slight step forward. Even with those gains, the bigger story becomes everything that happened during the offseason.[00:01:00] The biggest development is Philadelphia's five-year, $18 million-per-season offer sheet to Leo Carlsson. Anaheim quickly matches it, keeping Carlsson but dramatically altering the organization's salary structure.[00:01:30] Neil describes the offer sheet as a “nuclear bomb” dropped into Anaheim's locker room. He believes Pat Verbeek may have left himself vulnerable by allowing Carlsson to reach a point where another organization could make such an aggressive offer.[00:02:00] Carlsson is being paid based largely on what Anaheim believes he can become rather than what he has already accomplished. That creates tremendous expectations for a young center the Ducks view as their future No. 1.[00:02:25] The contract creates another immediate problem because Cutter Gauthier remains unsigned after a 40-goal season. With Carlsson making $18 million, Gauthier now has enormous leverage in his own negotiations.[00:02:50] Anaheim is left with only about $9 million in cap space, making it difficult to maintain the kind of depth that helped the Ducks reach the playoffs a year ago.[00:03:00] The Ducks also lose a significant amount of talent during the offseason. Defenseman Olen Zellweger is traded to Buffalo for Anton Wahlberg and a 2026 second-round pick.[00:03:20] Mason McTavish is traded to St. Louis for two first-round picks, removing another important young forward from Anaheim's developing core.[00:03:35] John Carlson is traded to Carolina before eventually signing in Tampa Bay, while captain Radko Gudas leaves for Florida. Jacob Trouba also departs, further changing the identity of Anaheim's blue line.[00:03:55] Physical forwards Jeffrey Viel and Ross Johnston leave in free agency, along with bottom-six utility forward Jansen Harkins. Neil and Vic emphasize just how much toughness and experience has disappeared from the roster.[00:04:15] Anaheim's replacements include Nick Jensen from Ottawa, Jeff Malott from Los Angeles, Travis Mitchell from the Islanders, and goaltender Laurent Brossoit after he appeared in only one game for San Jose the previous season.[00:04:35] The Ducks also re-sign young defensemen Ian Moore and Pavel Mintyukov, along with forward Tyson Hinds, giving the organization some promising internal pieces despite the departures.[00:04:55] Neil believes the overall roster is simply weaker than the one that made the playoffs last season. Anaheim has lost too many important contributors without adding equivalent talent.[00:05:10] The loss of Trouba and Gudas is particularly important because both defensemen brought intimidation and physical presence. Neil says opposing forwards knew exactly what awaited them when entering Anaheim's defensive zone.[00:05:30] Carlsson's $18 million contract may also have consequences inside the dressing room. Neil explains how enormous salary disparities can affect teammates when one young player suddenly earns dramatically more than established players around him.[00:05:55] The episode concludes with a pessimistic outlook for Anaheim. After seeing clear improvement entering last season, Neil does not see the same momentum this time around and does not believe the current Ducks roster is a playoff team.

Summer Coolers – Carolina HurricanesThe Carolina Hurricanes enter the new season as defending Stanley Cup champions after one of the most dominant playoff runs in recent memory. Rod Brind'Amour's relentless system finally delivered a championship, Nikolaj Ehlers proved to be a transformative free-agent addition, and Carolina's depth overwhelmed opponents throughout the postseason. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine whether the Hurricanes can repeat, how Brandon Bussi handles becoming the full-time starting goaltender, and whether early-season injuries could slow down the NHL's new standard-bearer.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] Carolina comes off a remarkable championship season after finishing first in the Eastern Conference and second overall in the NHL.[00:00:20] The Hurricanes cruise through the Eastern Conference playoffs, sweeping Ottawa and Philadelphia before defeating Montreal in five games.[00:00:40] Carolina then overcomes a 2-1 series deficit against the Vegas Golden Knights to capture the second Stanley Cup in franchise history.[00:01:00] The championship represents the culmination of eight years under Rod Brind'Amour and his demanding, tenacious style of play.[00:01:25] Neil credits Brind'Amour with consistently getting complete buy-in from his players and maintaining that commitment season after season.[00:01:45] Brind'Amour's physical conditioning and connection with the locker room make him feel like an extension of the playing group rather than a distant head coach.[00:02:10] Neil jokes that Brind'Amour may still be in better shape than many current NHL players, something that became obvious during Carolina's Stanley Cup celebration.[00:02:35] The discussion turns to Nikolaj Ehlers, whose free-agent signing initially raised questions about whether Carolina was adding more of the same rather than changing its postseason formula.[00:03:00] Those doubts disappear as Carolina finishes second in the NHL in offense and Ehlers delivers a strong regular season and playoff performance.[00:03:30] Neil calls Ehlers one of the most important additions to the championship roster and possibly the best free-agent signing of the previous offseason.[00:04:00] Ehlers becomes especially important during the Stanley Cup Final, scoring late goals that effectively clinch the championship for Carolina.[00:04:30] The Hurricanes also benefit from some favorable circumstances, including Colorado being eliminated early and creating a clearer path through the postseason.[00:04:55] Even with that fortune, Neil emphasizes that Carolina still earned the championship through depth, structure, and collective execution.[00:05:20] The offseason is relatively quiet for the defending champions, with Carolina acquiring John Carlson from Anaheim before he ultimately signs with Tampa Bay as an unrestricted free agent.[00:05:50] The largest departure is goaltender Frederik Andersen, who leaves Carolina and signs with the Edmonton Oilers.[00:06:20] Andersen's exit creates a major question in net because Brandon Bussi now moves from a successful supporting role into the unquestioned starting position.[00:06:45] Bussi performs exceptionally well during the regular season before stepping aside as Andersen starts Carolina's first 13 playoff games.[00:07:15] Neil and Vic discuss the psychological difference between serving as a backup and entering a season knowing that the crease belongs entirely to you.[00:07:45] Carolina must also determine whether Pyotr Kochetkov becomes Bussi's primary backup or whether prospect Zachary Sawchenko receives an opportunity.[00:08:15] Neil raises the possibility of a sophomore jinx for Bussi as opponents now have more film, more information, and a better understanding of his tendencies.[00:08:45] Young players often arrive as unknowns, but their second season becomes more difficult once shooters and coaching staffs begin making targeted adjustments.[00:09:15] Neil compares Bussi's situation with other highly regarded second-year players who must prove their rookie success was sustainable.[00:09:45] The former Western Michigan goaltender will now face greater pressure, more intense preparation from opponents, and championship-level expectations.[00:10:15] Carolina also enters the season with an injury concern after Seth Jarvis undergoes shoulder surgery.[00:10:40] Jarvis is expected to return sometime between the end of October and the end of December, depending on his recovery.[00:11:00] Eric Robinson also has offseason surgery but is expected to be available for the beginning of the regular season.[00:11:25] Vic asks whether Jarvis' absence could hurt Carolina early, particularly now that the Hurricanes' style has become a model other NHL teams may try to copy.[00:11:55] Neil calls Jarvis an integral part of the team but does not believe his early absence will significantly damage Carolina's season.[00:12:25] Early-season injuries are easier to manage than injuries occurring in the middle of a playoff race because the player still has time to recover, return, and contribute.[00:12:55] Carolina's depth and established system should allow the team to remain competitive without Jarvis before becoming even stronger when he returns.[00:13:20] The episode concludes with the Hurricanes positioned as legitimate repeat contenders, although Bussi's transition into the No. 1 role will be one of the most important stories of their season.

Vancouver Consumer - September 5, 2026 - John Carlson with John Carlson Real Estate

For 17 years, the Unabomber skillfully eluded investigators, leaving behind no fingerprints, DNA, or usable forensic evidence but in the end it was his own words that gave him away.  Dr. Phil Stieg speaks with retired FBI criminal profiler James Fitzgerald, a pioneer of forensic linguistics whose analysis of Ted Kaczynski's writings helped crack one of the most notorious investigations in FBI history. Fitzgerald reveals how investigators constructed a personality profile from the bomber's writings, identified the unusual turn of phrase that became a "linguistic smoking gun," and used patterns in language and behavior to identify this notoriously elusive criminal mind.  Plus, an exclusive glimpse into a family's traumatic moment when they discover their relative is a serial bomber. ### Archival audio courtesy of Videos For Change Productions Excerpt from documentary in progress "Life Or Death" featuring David Kaczynski and Linda Patrik,  Producers Mike Camoin and John Carlson.

Dateline New Haven: Gop Town Chair John Carlson by WNHH Community Radio

Shark depredation is when a shark eats a hooked or landed fish before an angler can bring it in, and in Florida it has become one of the most contested issues on the water. In this episode I sit down with Dr. John Carlson, a research fish biologist with NOAA Fisheries who has spent 25 years studying shark and sawfish populations, to work through the question anglers keep asking me: how can there be too many sharks and a global shark decline at the same time? Press play above to watch, or scroll down to listen to the full conversation.

Spring Cleaning – Washington CapitalsThe Washington Capitals entered the 2025-26 season expecting some regression after nearly winning the Presidents' Trophy the year before. That concern proved justified as declining production, injuries, weaker special teams, and uncertainty surrounding Alex Ovechkin's future left Washington outside the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine why the Capitals could not recreate the magic of their previous season and the major fork in the road facing General Manager Chris Patrick this summer.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Capitals are eliminated from playoff contention on April 13 after entering the season with expectations of taking a step backward from their Eastern Conference-leading 2024-25 campaign.[00:00:25] Neil and Vic revisit Washington's late-season decline from the previous year. The Capitals were 32 games above .500 on March 23, 2025, but finished the regular season 4-7-1 as the pursuit of Alex Ovechkin's scoring record became the team's central focus.[00:00:55] Washington still won the Eastern Conference and defeated Montreal in five games, but looked noticeably slower than Carolina during its second-round playoff elimination.[00:01:15] Eight Capitals players produced career seasons in 2024-25, making it difficult to expect the same level of performance one year later.[00:01:35] Neil believes the attention surrounding Ovechkin's record chase disrupted the team's rhythm. Once the record was secured, Washington never fully regained the form it displayed earlier in the season.[00:02:00] A quiet offseason provides little reinforcement, and the Capitals pace toward only 90 points through their first 72 games before finishing the season with an 8-2-0 run.[00:02:20] Several important players experience major declines in production. Dylan Strome falls from 82 points to 58, while Aliaksei Protas drops from 66 points to 52.[00:02:45] Connor McMichael also regresses, falling from 26 goals and 57 points to 14 goals and 46 points. Neil and Vic discuss how only a few additional goals could have changed several close games and kept Washington in the playoff race.[00:03:00] Pierre-Luc Dubois becomes one of the team's most significant losses. After playing all 82 games and producing career highs with 46 assists and 66 points the previous season, Dubois is limited to only 29 games.[00:03:30] Tom Wilson, Jakob Chychrun, and Logan Thompson remain dependable, while Ryan Leonard takes an encouraging step with 20 goals and 45 points.[00:03:50] Justin Sourdif contributes 15 goals and 35 points after arriving from Florida, while Aliaksei Protas' younger brother, Ilya Protas, positions himself for a full-time role next season.[00:04:10] Washington's special teams also regress. The power play falls from 14th to 25th, while the penalty kill drops from fourth to 15th.[00:04:35] Neil explains that even moderate declines become costly in a league where so many games are decided by one goal.[00:04:55] The Capitals also remain one of the NHL's older teams, and the unified effort that produced so many career seasons in 2024-25 does not carry over.[00:05:10] Alex Ovechkin's future becomes the defining offseason question. He has not yet decided whether he will return for another season or retire.[00:05:30] General Manager Chris Patrick enters the 2026 NHL Draft with five selections, including two first-round picks.[00:05:50] Washington owns its original first-round selection and Anaheim's pick acquired in the John Carlson trade.[00:06:05] The Capitals do not own a second-round pick after the Justin Sourdif trade, a third-round pick following the Jakob Chychrun deal, or a sixth-round selection after acquiring David Kämpf.[00:06:25] Washington projects to have approximately $4.4 million in cap space, leaving Patrick with limited flexibility before additional offseason moves.[00:06:45] Unrestricted free agents include Ovechkin, Brandon Duhaime, David Kämpf, Trevor van Riemsdyk, and Timothy Liljegren.[00:07:00] Restricted free agents Connor McMichael and Hendrix Lapierre also require new contracts as management evaluates which younger players belong in the next version of the team.[00:07:20] Neil believes ownership and management must first learn Ovechkin's intentions before deciding whether to retool or begin a more significant rebuild.[00:07:40] If Ovechkin returns, Washington is unlikely to dismantle the roster around him. The organization may instead attempt one more playoff push during the final chapter of his career.[00:08:00] If Ovechkin retires, the Capitals could accept several difficult seasons in order to acquire higher draft picks and inject more youth into the lineup.[00:08:20] Vic argues that Washington still possesses enough useful pieces to avoid tearing the roster down completely. A retool may be more appropriate than a total rebuild.[00:08:40] Neil compares the possible approach with Pittsburgh's successful strategy of adding several complementary veterans around Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang.[00:09:00] The episode concludes with Washington standing at a clear organizational crossroads. Every major offseason decision—from free agency to roster construction—will depend on whether Ovechkin chooses to return for one more season.

The Anaheim Ducks took a major step forward during the 2025-26 season, ending an eight-year playoff drought by finishing third in the Pacific Division and advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Neil Smith and Vic Morren look back at the moves that fueled Anaheim's turnaround, including the hiring of Joel Quenneville, the emergence of one of the NHL's brightest young cores, and Pat Verbeek's aggressive roster construction. They also examine the Ducks' statistical profile, why the numbers don't tell the full story, and the important contract decisions that will shape Anaheim's future as they continue their climb toward Stanley Cup contention.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Ducks complete a remarkable turnaround by finishing third in the Pacific Division, qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 2018, defeating Edmonton in six games before falling to Vegas in the second round. Neil and Vic revisit their preseason expectations after Anaheim added Chris Kreider, Mikael Granlund, Ryan Poehling, retained Lukas Dostal, and traded longtime goaltender John Gibson to Detroit.[00:01:00] Neil discusses why Pat Verbeek's decision to hire Joel Quenneville proved to be one of the organization's most important moves. The conversation also looks at the growth of Anaheim's young defense, veteran leadership from Jacob Trouba and Radko Gudas, and the addition of John Carlson at the trade deadline.[00:02:00] Anaheim's season was anything but consistent. After an 11-3-1 start, the Ducks endured an 0-8-1 slide before responding with multiple lengthy winning streaks. Neil explains why those ups and downs are typical of one of the NHL's youngest rosters.[00:03:00] Vic examines why Anaheim's statistics paint a very different picture than their playoff appearance. Despite improving their goal differential by 27 goals and scoring 52 more goals than the previous season, the Ducks still posted a negative goal differential and remained near the bottom of the league in special teams, goals against, and save percentage.[00:04:00] The discussion shifts to Anaheim's offensive breakout. Cutter Gauthier explodes for 41 goals, Leo Carlsson scores 29, Beckett Seneca finishes with 23 goals as a Rookie of the Year finalist, and Jackson LaCombe establishes himself as one of the NHL's rising young defensemen with a tremendous regular season and playoff performance.[00:06:00] Attention turns to Pat Verbeek's offseason priorities. Anaheim enters the summer with six draft picks but no first-round selection following the John Carlson trade, along with approximately $10.7 million in salary cap space and a long list of unrestricted and restricted free agents to address.[00:07:00] Neil and Vic discuss which veterans should return, including Jacob Trouba, captain Radko Gudas, Jeffrey Viel, and the backup goaltending situation involving Petr Mrázek and Ville Husso. They also examine the significant extensions awaiting Cutter Gauthier, Leo Carlsson, Pavel Mintyukov, Olen Zellweger, and the rest of Anaheim's young core.[00:08:00] The episode concludes with Neil sharing a conversation with Los Angeles Kings General Manager Ken Holland, who believes the Ducks possess one of the NHL's brightest futures. With an elite young core already in place and only minor roster adjustments needed, Anaheim appears poised to become one of the Western Conference's rising powers and potentially the premier team in Southern California for years to come.

YouTube Trev is locking arms with former NHL netminder Joaquin Gage for a full hour of unadulterated, raw hockey talk to sift through the volcanic ash of yesterday's open market madness.   On Today's Show: Canada Day Post-Mortem: Before the boys open up the hockey notebooks, they look back at a beautiful July 1st holiday. Trev and Gager recap how they spent their Canada Days around town, and swap a few quick stories from the backyard barbecues. The Stan Bowman Roster Overhaul: The Oilers didn't just participate in Free Agent Frenzy—they completely controlled the news cycle. The fellas dedicate a massive chunk of today's broadcast to analyzing an unbelievable string of transactions. We break down the historic departure of Darnell Nurse to San Jose, the blue line additions of Shakir Mukhamadullin, Zack Sharp, and Ryan Shea, and internal extensions for Kasperi Kapanen and Max Jones. The New Look Crease: As a former netminder, Gager gets right into the tape of Edmonton's brand-new goaltending structure. Stan Bowman executed a complete paradigm shift by trading for Devon Levi from Buffalo and signing freshly minted Stanley Cup champion Frederik Andersen to a one-year deal. The boys evaluate how this new look impacts the returning Tristan Jarry and what the vision is for the net going forward. Grading the Blueprint: It's report card time. Trev and Gager stack up all the additions, calculate the massive cap space saved by moving Nurse's contract without retaining a single dollar, and issue their definitive, official grades for Stan Bowman's first major free-agency floor plan. League-Wide Fallout: Once local business is settled, the guys pull out the macro-lens to trace the heavy cash spent across the rest of the league.

Mike, Manny and Dan return to talk the Cup Final, Vladar's rumored extension, why are the Flyers linked to Nurse? John Carlson, the state of the defense with and without the additions, more!

We went deep into the Dylan Larkin discussion in Episode 129 of The Liberty Yell. We broke down what a realistic trade could be for the almost 30-year-old center, whether it makes sense for the Flyers right now, and how he would fit in with the team. We compared Larkin head-to-head with other (younger) center options the Flyers could potentially look at via trade in Matty Beniers, Mason McTavish, and Shane Wright.    We touched a tad on the John Carlson rumors and what we would be willing to pay for the 36-year-old's services, bridging a gap with younger defenseman on the team like David Jiricek and Oliver Bonk. Is it fair to expect Carlson to come in here and fix an extremely broken PP? Are they one guy away? We also discussed the possibility of the defensive core getting shaken up a little here (Seeler, Risto, or maybe even York?).    We reached all of your live comments and questions (shoutout Jerry) throughout the episode -- thanks to everyone who took their time to interact with us, it means the world.      Is Larkin worth the potential cost? Will he even accept a trade here? Will Detroit even trade him? We got into all of that and a lot more.    Subscribe, drop a rating, and follow us on X @TheLibertyYell for all of the Flyers talk you could possibly want EVERY SINGLE DAY.
