Boomer, Pinder and Rhett react to Joe Sakic's emphatic comments about Cale Makar's future in Colorado after the Avalanche legend made it crystal clear that the franchise has no intention of letting their superstar defenseman go anywhere. Sakic stated that he fully expects Makar to finish his career with the Avalanche and revealed that discussions with his agent have already taken place regarding a long-term extension. The guys discuss what Makar means to the organization, why locking him up is the easiest decision Colorado will ever make, and whether there is any realistic scenario where one of the NHL's best players would ever consider leaving.Video Link: https://youtu.be/7DMdQ8BhcJc#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #coloradoavalanche CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the rumors of Cale Makar's injury and potentially missing the beginning of next season. We speculate what the injury could be and debate how much money Makar will make on his contract extension. Would a new Makar contract put the Avalanche in a tough position to fill out the rest of the roster with good depth? We give former Avalanche Claude Lemieux a heartfelt tribute as he took his own life this week. How safe is Jared Bednar to return as the head coach of the Avalanche next season? Zach shares the history of the most recent coaching hires for the Avalanche, mostly being first-time head coaches. Would they continue this track record if they move on from Bednar? We dive into the Broncos and debate if Que Robinson is ready for a bigger role on the defense. We react to ESPN listing Payton Watson as a top restricted free agent in the NBA this offseason. Could the Nuggets move on from Cam Johnson and/or Christian Braun to make room to retain Watson?
In hour one, Dover and Cecil start the show, reacting to the Avalanche getting swept by Vegas last night. After an amazing regular season, the Avs' season ends embarrassingly in the conference finals. How did they get here? What did their body language say after they went down in that game? Their sense of urgency didn’t come until the final two minutes of the game. Why? Has this window closed, or is it still open so long as you have Makar and MacKinnon? We listen and react to some of the players audio.

At what point are we expecting to see Makar in this series, if at all? We hear from Ben Dinucci on how the Broncos offense will look different with Davis Webb calling plays and how Bo Nix will have more time at the line of scrimmage with a quicker play call. We revisit Mike Klis' comments on Sean Payton still having a hand in play calling and could call 10-12 plays per game. We react to ESPN's Bobby Marks forecasting what Peyton Watson's contract will look like this offseason, and the guys debate if the Nuggets will be willing to take on that contract or what trades the Nuggets will make to take on an expensive contract. Does Watson want to be in Denver long-term?

We hear from Paul Bissonette saying the Avs will not win the series without Makar, and Zach shares history on what a win or loss means for the Avs tonight. Who needs to step up for the Avs the most in Makar's absence? Is there a chance we see MacKenzie Blackwood in Game 3 if tonight doesn't go well for Scott Wedgewood? Today's "Three Count" features the Knicks winning their 9th straight playoff game with Josh Hart exploding offensively, and the Hurricanes getting blown out by the Canadians after the Canes 8-0 start to the playoffs. Our 9News Broncos insider Mike Klis joins the show to discuss how the Broncos will approach preseason football, what the offense will look like with Davis Webb calling plays, and if Sean Payton will still call a handful of plays each game.

Montreal stunned Carolina 6–2 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final, swarming the Hurricanes with four first-period goals and exposing signs of rust after Carolina’s 12-day layoff, as Rod Brind’Amour admitted his team wasn’t ready for the Canadiens’ pace, long stretch passes and relentless transition game. Cole Caufield’s quick response goal after Carolina scored 33 seconds in shifted momentum immediately, as the Canes aggressive play allowed Montreal to repeatedly generate breakaways. Carolina will need a bounce-back in Game 2, especially from Frederik Andersen and a Jacob Slavin, who struggled through a difficult night. Out West, Vegas opened with an upset win over Colorado thanks to a stellar performance from Carter Hart and the massive absence of injured Cale Makar, whose uncertain status now looms over the series. John Tortorella appears energized in his new role with Vegas after recognizing Philadelphia needed a different voice for its rebuild. Discussion then turns to the Maple Leafs’ coaching search, with the suggestion that Toronto should think beyond short-term fixes and consider talented but inexperienced candidates from the AHL and NHL assistant ranks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They didn't sound dejected or worried.Also yesterday, Vic Lombardi violated a cardinal sin of our radio show. Court is in session!32:50 - It seemed like the Avs were playing with "hesitancy" in Game 1. They need to pick up the pace and be more decisive tonight.

0:00 - Last night's Avs loss stings. Losing to Vegas is never fun, especially at home in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. But the Avs did a lot of things right. There are PLENTY of positive takeaways. They need to tighten up their execution, put more pressure on Carter Hart, and figure out their line combos without Makar. But make no mistake. They WILL respond and win Game 2. 12:32 - Are you panicking about the Avs right now? Hop on a flight on Moser Airlines. He'll be your flight attendant for today.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Will react to Mike Klis's comments on Bo Nix's offseason procedures on his ankle.

0:00 - What a comeback for the Avs! They immediately went down 3-0 in the first period, tied it late in the 3rd period with quick back-to-back goals, forced OT, when won it in OT. My goodness. That game was anything but pretty, but all that matters is the final score. Happy Trails, Minnesota Wild! The Western Conference Final awaits.17:04 - Makar got dinged up in that game, and even though he came back, his arm looked like it was bothering him. Should we be concerned? Coach Bednar was asked about it after the game and gave a short answer.Also, Blackwood got shelled for 3 early goals. So Bedsie swapped him for Wedgewood and it calmed things down. That pretty much solidifies it. It's Wedgewood's from here on out. We're done with the carousel, right?33:56 - Colorado's depth is insane. You got goals from Parker Kelly, Jack Drury, and Brett Kulak?? That's ridiculous! After the game, Coach Bednar praised Kulak for his reliability and versatility.

Is the "meat grinder" in Edmonton about to claim its biggest victims yet? The 2025-26 season hasn't just ended; it has imploded, leaving the Edmonton Oilers at a crossroads that could define the franchise for the next decade. Dusty and Tommy are back to navigate the wreckage of a week that has seen superstars sound the alarm and insiders predict a total organizational overhaul. The Firing Line: Insider Frank Seravalli has dropped a bombshell, stating it is "more likely than not" that Kris Knoblauch and his entire coaching staff are headed for the exit. We discuss whether Knoblauch is the fall guy for a roster that Connor McDavid called "average," or if a fresh voice is the only way to spark a turnaround. Bowman Under Fire: The heat isn't just on the bench. Many are asking if Stan Bowman has "messed up the trajectory" of this team in record time. With the front office also reportedly up for a "reshape and restructure," we debate if Bowman survives the month or if ownership is ready to hit the reset button on management. The Bouchard Robbery: How does a defenseman score 95 points and not even get a Norris nomination? Evan Bouchard has officially been snubbed from the finalist list (Dahlin, Makar, Werenski), and he isn't hiding his frustration, admitting the omission "stings." We dive into the "defensive narrative" that cost Bouchard a historic honour. "Concerned" & "Average": We revisit the chilling exit interviews from McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. With the core getting older and Draisaitl openly worried about the "big steps backwards," we ask: What is the actual plan to keep #97 in Edmonton past the next two seasons? Roster Post-Mortem: From the Darnell Nurse contract dilemma to the search for an elite goaltender, we look at the "addition by subtraction" moves that Seravalli and others believe are coming. Brace yourselves, Oilers fans. The "patient" offseason Stan Bowman promised might have just been replaced by a summer of absolute chaos. Dusty and Tommy have tons to discuss, with the fellas sharing some news and notes they picked up around Oil Country... The Oil Stream is presented by Boston Pizza!
The mood in Edmonton hasn't lightened much since the handshake line. Gager is joined by special guest Reid Wilkins today as the fellas sift through the fallout of a disappointing first-round exit and a bombshell morning of NHL awards news that has Oilers fans—and the locker room—scratching their heads. The Norris Snub: The NHL officially announced the Norris Trophy finalists today, and Evan Bouchard was nowhere to be found. Despite leading all NHL defensemen with a staggering 95 points (60 at even strength), Bouchard was passed over for Dahlin, Makar, and Werenski. The boys debate: Did his defensive "lapses" truly outweigh a historically elite offensive season, or is there a genuine bias against the Oilers' blueliner? Edmonton Post-Mortem: It's been a heavy week of reflection. Reid and Gager recap the "concerned" and "average" comments from the stars and what they signal for the locker room's confidence. The Firing Line: We get into the latest rumblings regarding Kris Knoblauch and Stan Bowman. After taking what Leon Draisaitl called a "big step backwards," is a management or coaching change the only way to salvage the next two years of the McDavid era? Crunching The Numbers: We take a hard look at the roster, cap space, and the lack of assets. Is there a realistic path back to the Cup Final, or is the window closing faster than we thought? Round 2 Pulse: The bracket is moving on without Edmonton. We recap the action from the East and West: Canes in Command: Carolina holds a 2-0 lead as they head to Philly for Game 3 tonight. Avs' Offensive Explosion: Colorado is looking unstoppable after a 9-goal Game 1 and a dominant Game 2. Sabres vs. Habs: Buffalo takes the early advantage in a battle of young Atlantic rivals. 2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!
In the final hour, Dover and Cecil reacted to the Avs scoring 9 goals in Game 1 last night. The fellas heard from Cale Makar on the weird hit he took in the first period. Will Petersen joined the show and explained that there's not a debate with the goalie situation. What did Will think of Makar's performance last night? The guys talked with Kissner on the latest post and video of Bo Nix running.
0:00 - Guess what?? The Rockies don't suck! They're not winning a World Series this year but they're not incredibly horrible! That's a win. You'll take that every time. Aside from a couple bad innings here and there, they've been incrementally better this year. And that's all you can ask for.After that, Avs PLEASE just win one more game. Beat the Blues tonight, then sit Makar, MacKinnon, Landy, Necas, etc until the playoffs. Bubble wrap your big dogs and get ready for Lord Stanley.14:18 - Congrats to Michigan! They won the Natty yesterday and prevented Dan Hurley from cutting down a 3rd net. But something about the new NIL/Portal landscape of college sports in general is a mystery to Vic. Simply put...why do these big donors give a ton of money to the sports porgrams at all these schools? Ultimately, what's the point?34:27 - Oh, by the way...there's an 81-year-old Dodgers fan. Season ticket holder for 50 years. Doesn't own a smartphone. Doesn't know technology. The Dodgers just announced they don't print physical tickets anymore. They're only digital. What's this guy supposed to do? Oh, by the way...the Las Vegas Aces did their best impression of Kawhi Leonard and his Tree Farm, and the WNBA is investigating. Oh, by the way...in 1919, a Yankees outfielder battled an Ostrich in an eating contest and won.

0:00 - Brett Kane tweeted about Dan Hurley getting up in that ref's face and said it should've been a technical. It's ridiculous it wasn't called, and he doesn't understand people defending Hurley.

The New York Rangers have officially been eliminated from the playoffs. What could their summer hold and what went wrong?
How do you pay tribute to a city on its 900th birthday? It's a daunting task that faced poet and author Michael Pedersen soon after he was named Scotland's 'Makar' - or poet laureate - nearly two years ago.
The Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars delivered another playoff-style battle. Meghan Angley is joined by more members of the Guerilla Sports team - Mark Robinson and Avery Coates - to break down the Avalanche's latest matchup with Dallas, including postgame insight from Cale Makar, Scott Wedgewood, and Jared Bednar. Makar's power-play goal marked his fourth 20-goal season, continuing a historic run among NHL defensemen. Despite controlling possession and outshooting Dallas, the Avs were stung by a quick-strike response from Jason Robertson highlighting the razor-thin margin for error against this Stars team. We dig into: What worked, what didn't, the evolving goalie debate between Wedgewood and Blackwood, and key player trends. Plus, with the Stars closing the gap in the standings, we zoom out to the bigger picture: Can Colorado solve Dallas, and more importantly, can they beat Jake Oettinger when it matters most? We wrap with a quick preview of the upcoming matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks and what to watch for as the Avalanche enter the final stretch of the season.
The Penguins will play the Colorado Avalanche tonight. Toews and Makar have combined for 21 goals. Nathan McKinnon is +57. Bob would go back to Stuart Skinner. The Avs do a good job of taking advantage of rebound opportunities.
Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani: Should the ABS Challenge System be used in the World Baseball Classic? f. We hear from fans on the Pirates and the World Baseball Classic. The Penguins will play the Colorado Avalanche tonight. Toews and Makar have combined for 21 goals. Bob would go back to Stuart Skinner. The Avs do a good job of taking advantage of rebound opportunities.
It's a massive matchup preview on today's edition of The Oil Stream! The boys tee up tonight's big game as the Edmonton Oilers head to the Mile High City to take on the Colorado Avalanche. With star power all over the ice, it's McDavid vs MacKinnon and Draisaitl vs Makar in what should be one of the best matchups of the night. How will the Oilers respond after getting smoked the last time these two teams met? Can they tighten things up defensively and keep the goals against down? The fellas also dove into the big questions heading into puck drop — who gets the start in net, what do the lineups look like, and what do the Oilers need to do to pick up a huge win on the road? The Oil Stream is presented by Boston Pizza!
Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: TK didn't think Toews and Makar played great for the Canadiens in the Gold Medal Game. How close was Sidney Crosby to playing? Bob wants to do what it takes for Crosby and Malkin to go back to the postseason. Tyler Kennedy thinks the Penguins should give Avery Hayes a chance on the top line.
