Podcast appearances and mentions of John Tortorella

Spring Cleaning – Vegas Golden KnightsThe Vegas Golden Knights captured the Pacific Division title and returned to the Stanley Cup Final, but the biggest story of their offseason wasn't their playoff run—it was the stunning decision to part ways with head coach John Tortorella just 48 hours after losing to the Carolina Hurricanes. Neil Smith and Vic Morren break down one of the NHL's most fascinating organizations, examining Vegas' win-now philosophy, looming salary-cap challenges, lack of draft capital, and what comes next for Kelly McCrimmon and George McPhee.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Golden Knights finish first in the Pacific Division with 95 points before defeating Utah and Anaheim, sweeping Colorado, and advancing to the Stanley Cup Final, where they fall to the Carolina Hurricanes in six games. Just two days later, Vegas shocks the hockey world by moving on from head coach John Tortorella.[00:00:35] Neil reacts to the surprising coaching change. Although the organization publicly praises Tortorella's work, the announcement does not suggest the separation was mutual, leaving many questions about what happened behind the scenes.[00:01:00] Unlike most Spring Cleaning episodes, Neil and Vic shift away from evaluating expectations and immediately focus on the uncertainty surrounding the franchise because the coaching situation overshadows everything else.[00:01:30] Vegas underachieves during the regular season despite boasting a star-studded lineup featuring Jack Eichel, Mitch Marner, Pavel Dorofeyev, and captain Mark Stone. Bruce Cassidy is replaced late in the year before Tortorella guides the team to a 7-0-1 finish and a deep playoff run.[00:02:15] While the Golden Knights fail to reach the 100-point mark many expected, their run to the Stanley Cup Final ultimately fulfills the organization's championship expectations.[00:02:45] The discussion turns to Kelly McCrimmon and George McPhee. Rather than analyzing player statistics, Neil focuses on the difficult roster decisions awaiting one of the NHL's most aggressive front offices.[00:03:15] Vegas has mortgaged much of its future in pursuit of championships. The organization owns no first-round selections until 2028 and only 14 total draft picks over the next three drafts.[00:03:45] The Golden Knights are projected to become the NHL's oldest team when free agency begins, carrying an average roster age of 31.2 years.[00:04:10] Vegas enters the 2026 NHL Draft with only four selections and no first-round pick after acquiring Noah Hanifin. The club also forfeits its second-round selection following an organizational media violation during the playoffs and no longer owns its fourth-round pick after acquiring Anthony Mantha.[00:04:50] Salary-cap flexibility is limited, with approximately $4.6 million in projected space. However, the Golden Knights could gain nearly $9 million more if Alex Pietrangelo remains on long-term injured reserve.[00:05:20] Neil explains the long-term risk of Vegas' aggressive "win-now" strategy. Every contender eventually pays the price for trading away future assets, just as the Rangers did several years after winning the Stanley Cup in 1994.[00:05:50] Even with Jack Eichel, Mitch Marner, and young sniper Pavel Dorofeyev leading the offense, Neil stresses that three elite players alone cannot sustain a championship-caliber roster without continually replenishing talent.[00:06:20] Vegas' unrestricted free agents include Riley Smith, Cole Smith, Colton Sissons, Brandon Saad, Rasmus Andersson, Ben Hutton, Jeremy Lauzon, and Dylan Coghlan. Neil believes Andersson deserves another opportunity after an underwhelming but steady postseason.[00:07:10] Riley Smith and Jeremy Lauzon are also viewed as valuable pieces worth retaining if possible, while Vegas continues evaluating its veteran depth.[00:07:35] Restricted free agent Pavel Dorofeyev becomes the organization's top priority. Reports suggest he could receive a significant offer sheet, potentially forcing Vegas into one of the offseason's biggest contract negotiations.[00:08:10] Neil does not believe the Golden Knights will allow another team to steal Dorofeyev. Based on Vegas' history, he expects McCrimmon to match almost any offer necessary to keep one of the organization's young offensive stars.[00:08:45] Vic raises the possibility of accepting four first-round picks if Dorofeyev receives an offer sheet exceeding the highest compensation threshold. Neil rejects the idea, believing Vegas will continue operating aggressively rather than beginning a rebuild.[00:09:30] With the salary cap increasing significantly over the next two seasons, Neil expects Vegas to navigate the current financial squeeze before continuing its familiar strategy of chasing championships every year.[00:10:00] The search for a new head coach becomes the organization's biggest immediate priority. Henderson AHL coach Ryan Craig has been mentioned, but Neil questions whether Vegas would suddenly change philosophies after consistently hiring experienced NHL coaches.[00:10:40] Neil believes Kelly McCrimmon and George McPhee will once again pursue a proven veteran capable of managing expectations, pushing an experienced roster, and keeping the Golden Knights among the NHL's elite. Winning immediately—not developing for the future—remains the Vegas Golden Knights' identity.

*This episode was recorded prior to the NHL completing its investigation on Mike Babcock*On this episode of Pucks & Brews, Mike and Liam discuss and recap the 2026 Stanley Cup Final, talk about the three trades that have transpired since, John Tortorella not returning to coach the Vegas Golden Knights, the Maple Leafs hiring Jon Hiller as their head coach, the Mike Babcock situation, the upcoming NHL Draft, and more.

The Leafs made a surprise hire by naming Jim Hiller as head coach, a move that aligns with GM Chayka’s analytical approach but raises questions if past relationships with key players factored into the decision. In Vegas, the Golden Knights continued their aggressive organizational approach by moving on from John Tortorella and promoting longtime successor Ryan Craig, while GM Kelly McCrimmon defended the franchise’s win-at-all-costs reputation by pointing to three Stanley Cup Final appearances in just nine seasons. Around the league, trade speculation continues to swirl around Connor Hellebuyck despite Winnipeg not actively shopping the star goaltender. Other potential trade candidates remain a hot topic as well, with Matthew Knies viewed as a highly valuable but unlikely Leafs trade chip, Buffalo facing difficult decisions on Bowen Byram’s future, and Vincent Trocheck once again generating speculation after changing agents and continuing to seek a fresh start away from New York.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett react to the news that John Tortorella will not be returning as head coach of the Vegas Golden Knights next season. After taking over late in the year and leading Vegas all the way to the Stanley Cup Final, many assumed there was a chance Tortorella could stick around, but that won't be the case. The guys look back at the job Torts did in Vegas, how he managed to spark the team during a difficult stretch, and whether his short stint behind the bench changed the way people view him as an NHL coach. The conversation then shifts to the Edmonton Oilers, who remain in search of their next head coach. Could Tortorella actually make sense in Edmonton? Would his demanding style work with a veteran group led by Connor McDavid, or would it be a complete disaster? The boys debate whether Torts deserves another opportunity and if the Oilers should seriously consider him as a candidate. Let us know: should John Tortorella be on Edmonton's coaching shortlist?Video Link: https://youtu.be/QkXaiEqM4Ng#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #edmontonoilers CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8

Former NHL Head Coach Peter Laviolette joined OverDrive to discuss the role superstar players play on a team, John Tortorella's success as Golden Knights head coach, the Hurricanes needing a bounce back in game 2, his interview process and his role for a roster, the Maple Leafs' direction and more!

Carolina finds itself in a near must-win situation in Game 2, as headed to Vegas down 0-2 seems like too big of a hill to climb for any team.D espite neither side being thrilled with its Game 1 performance, Vegas showed why their confidence is at an all-time high, recovering from an early 2-0 deficit and continuing a stretch in which they haven’t lost in two weeks. John Tortorella earned praise for his in-game adjustments, while the Hurricanes’ top line remained largely ineffective. Both Ray and Dregs expect stronger outings from the goaltenders and are leaning toward a Carolina bounce-back, though they agree the margin between the teams remains razor thin. Off the ice, Peter Laviolette and Patrick Roy have advanced in Toronto’s coaching search, though the Leafs’ direction remains unclear compared to Edmonton’s more defined approach; Roy’s recent success developing top prospect Peter Schaefer could be a factor with Toronto holding the first overall pick. Meanwhile, the Oilers continue to wait on the coaching market, raising questions about whether Edmonton is willing to hold out for Bruce Cassidy, or if a backup candidate is already in place. In Nashville, the Predators landed a major front-office hire by prying Chris MacFarland away from Colorado with a lucrative deal, giving him the opportunity to build a team backed by ownership willing to spend to improve the team.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Vancouver Canucks officially turned the page by hiring Manny Malhotra as head coach, signalling a commitment to a rebuild centred around accumulating young talent and draft picks rather than chasing short-term success. In Montreal, the Canadiens’ season ended at the hands of Carolina, with an emotional Brendan Gallagher acknowledging that he may have played his final game as a Canadien. The hockey world also lost Claude Lemieux, whose family donated his brain to CTE research; Ray reflected on Lemieux as one of the toughest opponents he ever faced — incredibly strong, relentlessly competitive and built for big moments. Looking ahead to the Stanley Cup Final, Carolina appears to be the strongest version of itself in years thanks to key additions like K’Andre Miller and Nikolaj Ehlers, strong goaltending from Frederik Andersen, and the emergence of Taylor Hall as a leader alongside Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake. On the other side, the Golden Knights have become a rare success story after hiring John Tortorella with just eight games remaining in the regular season, a gamble that has paid off as Vegas has improved with each playoff round.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
