 Will Petersen and Richie Carni kick off today’s show in lieu of Mike and Stoke. They kick off an “Is It Just Me Friday” with a couple of their own about their local supermarkets and a taste of the other half. The guys recap the Nuggets’ big comeback win over the Spurs last night. Did this team just make an even bigger statement last night than they did against Houston? The guys give their biggest takeaways from the Avs’ victory over the Seattle Kraken last night like a motivated (read: angry) Nathan Mackinnon, the deadline additions contributing, and Scott Wedgewood’s goaltending. Will and Richie end the first hour discussing the return of Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Broncos Country’s growing distaste for Sean Payton’s guys.  

In the final hour, Dover and Richie talked about the Nuggets getting a big win over the Spurs last night. How close are the standings in the Western Conference? The fellas gave the their thoughts on on the Avs beating the Kraken last night. How great was Nathan MacKinnon and his 4-point game? Dover explained why it's not good for the Broncos to just run it back with the same roster as last season. 

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' moves at the NHL Trade Deadline, previewed Friday's game against Carolina, line combinations, trade targets, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Jake Walman's struggles and what it will take to get him back on his game. Given that the coaching staff has already moved him on every pairing on the back end, the options for getting him back up and running are extremely limited. As you'll hear, the boys were actually short on ideas for what Knoblauch and co can do with their newly extended d-man.Shifting gears, the guys looked at the last couple of games on the Oilers' schedule and how the results could not have been more different. Starting with Nathan MacKinnon getting tossed for running into Connor Ingram, the boys shared their take on the penalty and whether Nate should have been kicked out. From there, we looked at the loss in Dallas, and how it was an incredibly frustrating night after two of Edmonton's best games of the year kicked off the road trip. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the 2025-26 season well into the stretch drive, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that's the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.00:00 - intro05:00 - delicous debate11:30 - show walman how he can play12:00 - walman was so physical in his first few games14:00 - is walman just straight up hurt16:45 - ON is just no fun anymore18:45 - MacKinnon on Ingram22:00 - did it deserve a 5?24:45 - should refs have to do post games?28:00 - stars game30:00 - McDavid scrap30:30 - podz is on another level right now35:15 - is it time for pickard?***39:30 dach and emberson hurt, bigger impact than people think?**44:00 - Betting talk 51:30 - ask the idiotsSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

0:00 - There's not a whole lot left on the toy shelf if you're the Denver Broncos looking for something in free agency. Are you better off just skipping to the draft? Or maybe getting some kinda trade going?17:54 - Big quarterback news hot off the presses! Kyler Murray signed a one year deal with the Vikings. Is that bad news for JJ McCarthy? Is it just what he needs?31:22 - Nathan MacKinnon is back on the ice for the Avalanche tonight, so it's time to reflect on how dumb the major penalty on Mack was against the Oilers, now that the NHL has officially RESCINDED the major.

Ottawa’s playoff push took a hit with a 3–2 loss to Montreal, as Ivan Demidov scored the winner and goalie Dustin Fowler stood tall for the Canadiens. On a night where Linus Ullmark only allowed 3 goals, the fellas argue it’s fair to question the Senators’ goaltending overall, suggesting even league-average numbers might have them comfortably in a playoff spot. In the West, San Jose sits just one point out of a wildcard with Macklin Celebrini already at 90 points in his second season, though concerns remain about the Sharks’ goaltending and defense, especially when compared to a similarly rebuilding Anaheim team. Tuesday also brought controversy when Nathan MacKinnon received a five-minute major for colliding with Oilers goalie Connor Ingram after a lengthy review; Avalanche coach Jared Bednar blamed Darnell Nurse’s initial contact, and Ray agrees the call was excessive—likely a minor at most. Looking ahead to the GM meetings, Ray hopes the league addresses the ongoing confusion around goalie interference and the frustration of lengthy offside reviews on zone entries that occur long before a goal is scored. Then, In Ask Ray and Dregs Anything, we talk about good goalies on bad teams and what the Leafs offseason may look like... is anyone safe?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Evans and  Mark Schlereth open the second hour with Stink demanding compensation for working a whole extra hour. They react to the latest breaking news in the Ravens-Crosby saga. Mike and Stink break down the controversial Nathan MacKinnon ejection in the Avs’ loss to the Oilers last night. They joke about pop warner football before Mike points out the irony of Broncos fans who were complaining about Sean Payton who are now complaining about the roster. Stink breaks down the film on Adam Trautman and Evan Engram’s blocking in a special Wednesday edition Telestrator Tuesday film breakdown. Mike and Stink wrap up the second hour in 4 Down Territory where the Ravens make a snake move, Geno Smith goes full circle, the give-and-take of a diva receiver, and the Broncos’ LB corps almost got an upgrade.  

Join Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill and Jamie McLennan for Hour 1 on OverDrive! The guys discuss Bam Adebayo's incredible 83-point performance, the greatness of the game and where it sits in the history of the NBA, the Maple Leafs losing streak ongoing against the Canadiens, Auston Matthews' goal drought and the issues on the ice. TSN NBA Analyst Sam Mitchell joins to discuss Adebayo's monster game, the views of his dominance and surpassing Kobe Bryant's 81-points and Nathan MacKinnon's ejection against the Oilers.

TSN Hockey Analyst Martin Biron joined OverDrive to discuss the headlines around the NHL, the Sabres' impressive season and becoming a contender for the playoffs, what has clicked for Buffalo for success, Nathan MacKinnon's ejection and if it was a penalty, Jacob Fowler's role with the Canadiens, Auston Matthews' goal drought and more.

In the 2nd hour, Dover and Cecil reacted to Nathan MacKinnon getting ejected last night. The guys heard from Jared Bednar on why he hated the call on MacKinnon. What are the local college basketball teams doing in their conference tournaments? Cecil names Dolphins WR, Jaylen Waddle as an option that Broncos should for. Was Bam Adebayo's 83-point legit? 

Dover and Cecil opened the show reacting to the Avs losing to the Oilers last night. The fellas rected to Nathan MacKinnon getting ejected for taking out Edmonton's goalie. The guys previewed tonight's Nuggets-Rockets game. Dover mentioned a name that he still wants the Broncos to go out and sign in free agency. Could the Broncos make a trade for an offensive weapon? The guys gave their thoughts on the latest news surrounding Maxx Crosby. 

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne are joined by Sportsnet host David Amber (0:52) to chat about the state of the Eastern Conference, the promising young core with the Montreal Canadiens, if he was surprised by the quiet trade deadline for Montreal, Nathan MacKinnon's collision with Connor Ingram, questions around Alexander Ovechkin's future, and which direction should the Maple Leafs and Canucks take as they both near the bottom of the standings. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee dive deeper into MacKinnon hitting the Oilers' goalie, the connection between Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on offence, and the chance we see Canadian NHL teams losing superstars.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

0:00 - Yesterday, the Avalanche lost to the Oilers at Ball Arena. In the loss, Nathan MacKinnon was assessed a game misconduct for goalie interference and ejected from the game late in the 2nd period. But he didn't intentionally slam into the goalie. He was very clearly shoved into him by Darnell Nurse. I guess the NHL and the Ref saw it differently. Horrible call by the officials, and Jared Bednar thought so as well.17:33 - The Ravens backed out of the Maxx Crosby trade because of a failed physical and sent him back to the Raiders. Then...the Ravens immediately signed Trey Hendrickson. This is fishy...very very fishy...Then, Team Italy beat Team USA in the World Baseball Classic and we're not sure what to do with our hands. Vic's stoked though.36:25 - Bam Adebayo scored 83 points last night, officially passing Kobe Bryant's 81-point game. The only player who's scored more points in a single game is Wilt the Stilt with 100. But here's the thing...Bam's 83 points feels like a sham. Bam's a scam. 

0:00 - Last night, Nathan MacKinnon getting a 5-minute major and game misconduct (which comes with an automatic ejection) for goalie interference was the tip of the iceberg. The Avs ended up on the wrong side of the whistle all night long. Now we're not alleging anything. BUT, Brett has a stat that suggests the lead official might have it out for the Avs.Oh, and it's not just us who thought Mack's penalty was egregious and unwarranted. The TNT crew agreed, including Tukka Rask. Y'know, the Boston Bruins goalie for like 15 years who has a Stanley Cup ring. 11:29 - Oh, by the way...the Broncos STILL haven't done anything in free agency. Is Brett allowed to panic yet? Oh, by the way...the Hartford Yard Goats are introducing a hotdog + donut monstrosity in honor of Taylor Swift Night at the ballpark. Oh, by the way...did you know yelling 90s songs at the top of your lungs is a good free throw distraction technique?25:40 - Bedsie was fired up last night about MacKinnon's penalty and ejection. Has his mind changed at all after a good night's sleep? Let's also pick his brain about the game as a whole, and get an injury update on guys like Landy and LOC. 

It's a different look on today's edition of The Oil Stream as Matt Iwanyk and Hernan Salas step in for Dusty and Tommy! The guys break down last night's Oilers win, diving into the biggest pros and cons from the game and asking the big question — are the Oilers starting to trend in the right direction?   They discuss the Nathan MacKinnon incident from last night and whether the five-minute major and game misconduct was the right call. Plus, the boys look ahead to the Oilers' next test as they continue their road trip with a matchup against the Dallas Stars.   What should we think of Connor Ingram's injury? What about Ty Emberson and Colton Dach's departure from the contest? How might the Oilers adjust to face the Stars in Dallas?   The Oil Stream is presented by Boston Pizza!

We recap NHL trade deadline day and highlight early fits like Nazem Kadri's return to Colorado (bigger minutes, playing wing with Nathan MacKinnon) and Scott Laughton's fast start with the LA Kings. We dig into Detroit's major move: acquiring Justin Faulk from St. Louis for Justin Holl, Dmitri Buchelnikov, and unprotected 2026 first- and third-round picks, discussing Faulk's first game usage, expected role, and how he stabilizes the Red Wings' defense for a playoff push. We also react to the surprising John Carlson trade from Washington to Anaheim, including the conditional pick terms and concerns about how Carlson learned the news. Finally, we discuss the Maple Leafs moving Bobby McMann to Seattle for a 2027 second and 2026 fourth, and debate Craig Berube's impact on Auston Matthews and the team's direction. ⏰⏰Chapters⏰⏰ 00:00 Trade Deadline Intro 01:19 Early Fits and Returns 01:59 Kadri Back in Colorado 04:01 Lawton Hits the Ground 05:35 Red Wings Land Faulk 06:36 Faulk Usage and Pairings 09:21 Playoff Impact and Value 13:23 Wings Schedule Outlook 16:03 More Deadline Moves 17:46 Carlson to Anaheim Shock 18:45 Carlson Trade Fallout 19:49 Playoff Bubble Reality 20:57 Extension Talks Breakdown 22:07 Anaheim Fit And Future 23:36 DraftKings Ad Break 25:00 Leafs Kraken McMann Deal 28:22 Leafs Rebuild And Blue Line 29:23 Berube Matthews Crisis 32:45 Front Office Pressure Cooker 35:55 Wrap Up And Final Word Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nazem Kadri is back, the Colorado Avalanche are rolling, and the vibes around this team have completely shifted. Jesse Montano and Meghan Angley break down a huge week for the Avs after four massive wins, a statement trade deadline, and an emotional reunion with Nazem Kadri in Colorado.   The show dives into what Kadri's return means both on the ice and inside the locker room, why the Avalanche suddenly look like one of the deepest teams in hockey again, and how Chris MacFarland's deadline work continues to reshape this roster in a major way. Jesse and Meghan also discuss Colorado's back-to-back wins over Dallas and Minnesota, the importance of center depth, the Avs' goaltending stability, and why this team may be even more dangerous than people realize.   Plus, Connor McGahey, the voice of the Colorado Avalanche, joins the show to share his perspective on the trade deadline chaos, the reaction inside the room to Kadri's return, the fit of new additions like Nick Waugh and Brett Kulak, and why this Avalanche team might be one of the deepest he's ever seen.   The episode also takes a close look at the Avs' still-inconsistent power play, how Kadri may help unlock a more dangerous man advantage, and why Colorado's flexibility down the middle could become a defining factor heading into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.   Presented by Furniture Row, RefiJet, and Johnson Auto Plaza.   If you enjoyed the episode, make sure to like, comment, and subscribe for more Colorado Avalanche coverage, NHL trade deadline analysis, postgame breakdowns, interviews, and playoff talk from Guerilla Sports.   Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 2:58 Opening thoughts on the Avs' huge week 5:07 Central Division playoff race and first-round bloodbath talk 8:43 What Kadri's return means to the team and fan base 16:28 Connor McGahey joins the show 17:52 Reaction inside the room to Kadri coming back 19:27 Deadline expectations vs. what the Avs actually did 22:32 Is this one of the deepest Avalanche teams ever? 25:03 Nick Waugh's fit with Colorado 27:26 Locker room chemistry, character, and Kadri's impact 30:09 Why the Avs' goaltending situation feels different now 35:50 Brett Kulak and Colorado benefiting from Edmonton's moves 40:30 How the Kadri trade came together behind the scenes 43:26 Power play talk and why Kadri could help 56:10 Nazem Kadri postgame comments 1:03:34 Avalanche power play concerns continue 1:12:19 Final thoughts and what's next   #ColoradoAvalanche #Avs #NazemKadri #NHL #ConnorMcGahey #AvsNation #TradeDeadline #StanleyCup #NathanMacKinnon #CaleMakar #GuerillaSports #HockeyPodcast

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss Russell Wilson "defending" himself on a podcast when talking about the back and forth between him and Sean Payton. Zach and Phil dive into the Broncos plans as NFL free agency beings in less than a week. Will the Broncos re-vamp the offensive line? Could Ben Powers be a cut or trade candidate as he heads into the last year of his contract? We react to the Nuggets winning a tight one against a bad team in the Jazz. Zach voices his frustrations with how Jokic reacts to aggressive defenses and tries to foul-bait. What do the guys make of David Adelman's adjustments and trying out a double big lineup with Val and Jokic? Zach shares the impressive stats Nathan MacKinnon is putting up this season and how he is likely on his way to another MVP trophy. 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on the Rockies and debate what would be a successful season for the team. We pivot to the Broncos and react to Russell Wilson addressing his tweet in which he fired back at Sean Payton after Payton took a shot at Wilson. What did the guys make of Russ defending himself? Will the Broncos re-vamp the offensive line? Could Alex Palczewski step into Ben Powers' role is Powers is cut or traded? We react to the Nuggets winning a tight one against a bad team in the Jazz. Is it fair to be concerned with the Nuggets defensive effort after barley winning a game in which Jamal Murray shot at a superhuman rate and the team shot at a 50/40/90 rate? Zach shares the impressive stats Nathan MacKinnon is putting up this season and how he is likely on his way to another MVP trophy. Will Nate become the first Avs player ever and join Jokic as the only Denver athlete to win multiple MVP's? We react to Mike Evans' comments on Gabe Landeskog underachieving and debate if Mike is fair to criticize Landy. 

In the 3rd hour, Dover and Cecil reacted to the Nuggets barely beating the Jazz last night with a 45-point night from Jamal Murray. Are teams making Nikola Jokic frustrated by going at him while he's on defense? The fellas talked about how Nathan MacKinnon is finally looking like himself for the first-time since the Olympics break. On Bo's Board, the fellas discussed if the Broncos should trade for an AFC WR. 

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and James Merilatt take a deep dive into the Nuggets as they went 0-2 this weekend losing to the Thunder and Timberwolves. How fair is it to blame the Nuggets shortcomings on their injuries? Why have the Nuggets struggled in clutch time so much this season compared to years past? Does Jokic deserve some criticism? Are the Nuggets lacking a toughness with their current group of players? How much will the Nuggets have to overcome to win a championship this season? We react to ESPN's tiers for college football coaches on the hot seat. Is Deion Sanders on the list and should he be on hot seat in Boulder? We wrap up the show recapping the day in Denver sports with the Nuggets signing Tyus Jones to a contract and Nathan MacKinnon talking about his Olympic hockey experience. 

Jesse Montano and Meghan Angley unpack where things stand with the Colorado Avalanche with just days to go until the trade deadline.

The Colorado Avalanche are heading into the NHL trade deadline with big questions after a frustrating loss. On this episode of Off Ice, Jesse Montano and Meghan Angley break down everything surrounding the Avs right now — from the game itself to the bigger picture decisions facing the front office.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into Calvin Booth's podcast interview regarding his time as the general manager of the Nuggets. We hear his thoughts on how having Jokic on the team makes it more difficult to do his job because then everything around Jokic has to be perfect. Is the rift between Michael Malone and Booth been overblown? Have the Nuggets not valued executives as much as they should have? Did Calvin Booth show a huge lack of awareness from all his comments throughout this interview? Will we see Miachel Malone come out and tell his side of story with the dynamic between himself and Booth? We react to the Avalanche beating the Mammoth handily last night, 4-2. With the success we saw from Marty Necas on the power play, could we see a shake up with the Avs' power play line? How will Nathan MacKinnon fit back in after sitting out last night? 

The Avalanche beat Utah last night without Nathan MacKinnon and the Nuggets put together one of their most impressive wins of the season, beating the Celtics 104-to-83, giving up the fewest points since 2021. Can the Nuggets play defense like this throughout the playoffs? The Broncos are set to hire Colorado defensive coordinator Robert Livingston as its defensive passing-game coordinator. Is this a bigger deal for the Broncos to get Livingston or the Buffs losing their defensive coordinator? Plus, Kevin O'Connor of Yahoo Sports did an interview with former Nuggets GM Calvin Booth and Booth discussed the factors that cost him his job with Denver. Eric and Troy react to what Booth said.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss Dover's house getting egged and the guy's stories of pulling pranks on houses as teenagers. Zach and Phil react to Robert Livingston leaving the Buffs to join the Broncos coaching staff. Why would Livingston be willing to take a demotion in role and likely take less in pay? Is Livingston getting off "a sinking ship" by leaving Deion Sanders and Colorado? What will we be looking for tonight from the Nuggets as they take on the red-hot Celtics? Will we see the best from Jokic and Murray? We preview the Avalanche and Mammoth game tonight. Will the American players on the Avs poke any fun towards Nathan MacKinnon and the other Canadian players? Will we see all the players who played in the Olympics, play tonight for the Avalanche? 

Ben Maller talks about Team USA defeating Team Canada to earn the gold medal in Men's Hockey, who benefits from the "golden goal" more Jack Hughes or the NHL, Nathan MacKinnon implying that the better team lost to the lesser team, and much more surrounding the Winter Olympics!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Nathan MacKinnon implies Canada was 'better team' despite losing Olympic gold medal to Team USA. MacKinnon missed a key opportunity, while Team USA capitalized on theirs to win gold in Milan. Also liberals upset as the USA hockey team uses Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" as their theme song, Gwen Stefani's religious comments stirs up the left and Mexican forces seized rocket launchers capable of shooting down aircraft during the operation Sunday that killed cartel boss Ruben "Nemesio" Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho". Also with a blizzard bearing down on New York City, socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani has offered citizens a chance to make a few extra bucks removing snow, but there is a catch, and it's a doozy: As racist as the Left tells us this is, workers must bring valid ID.

We dive into the Winter Olympics gold medal match from yesterday and the Avalanche players involved in the game.

0:00 - I'm sorry, Podcast listeners. These goal/Merica montages don't sound the same without Free Bird in the background. Stupid copyright rules. I guess you'll have to envision the freedom in your head for the full experience.Anyway, USA beat Canada yesterday in hockey to wrap up the Olympics on a high note. Now look...a silver medal is nothing to sneeze at! That's an amazing accomplishment. But Team Canada looked incredibly crushed and depressed as they received their medals.

It won't be an easy stroll into the playoffs. Quite the opposite.Also, now that the winter games are over, will you miss them? How much Olympics did you watch in the past few weeks? Did you enjoy this year's games overall?32:59 - In honor of Nathan MacKinnon's consolation prize plushie (Tina the Stote) that he received with his silver medal, let's go down the rabbit hole of every official Olympics mascot in history in today's Fact Checker.
