Podcast appearances and mentions of Nathan MacKinnon

"Mean prudes." Eva, Kelly, and Rave may feel threatened by Nathan MacKinnon's goal-scoring success but they're not letting it affect their enjoyment of the Caps' [checks notes] TWO consecutive wins last week, the beautiful tear falling down Sidney Crosby's cheek, or William Nylander's indefatigable bitchiness. There are cathedrals everywhere for those with eyes to see, etc. This episode was recorded on February 1, 2026.

We start the show with a big question, Are The Buffalo Sabres Good? Sitting third in the Atlantic Division, can the Sabres snap their playoff drought this year?Sticking in the Atlantic, the Toronto Maple Leafs are struggling sitting five points out of the playoffs. Are Toronto's playoff hopes over?The Detroit Red Wings are a team that has surprised with their record so far and with an abundance of cap space could we see the Wings make a big splash before the Olympic Break or at the deadline to vault this team to another level in an Eastern Conference that remains relatively open for the taking?The Boston Bruins continue to hover around the final Eatern Conference playoff spot. Bruins' backup Joonas Korpisalo has been sensational since the beginning of 2026 with a 4-0-0 record, sub two GAA, and a SV% over .940. With Jeremy Swayman heading to the Olympics, could we see more starts by Korpisalo and a tandem forming similar to when the Bruins had Swayman and Linus Ullmark? The Pittsburgh Penguins are giving Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang their storybook farewell. Considered at the beginning of the season as a team that could turn the chapter on their veterans and rebuild, the Penguins currently sit second in the Metro Division and are riding a four-game winning streak.A big question for Penguins' GM Kyle Dubas will be what to do with Malkin? The veteran forward is a free agent after this year but has shown he still has gas left in the tank. With Crosby under contract still for next season, could we see Malkin resign and ride off into the sunset with his long-time teammate or will Dubas look to turn over this team to some of his younger prospects climbing the organizational ranks?Malkin and the Penguins' situation brings up the topic of development and is it better for younger players to grow with other young players and go through those growing pains together or is it better to have a group of seasoned veterans in the room to ease rookies into the league and pass down their wisdom?The Anaheim Ducks have had a rollercoaster season but sit third in the Pacific and are on a seven-game win streak. This mix of veterans and youngsters could be the blueprint for other teams going into a rebuilding stage or trying to breakout from their rebuilds to get back to contention. Evan Bouchard had a monster game Saturday posting six points, including his first ever hat trick in a 6-5 overtime win over the Washington Capitals. How rare was Bouchard's night for NHL defenders?Nikita Kucherov now sits third in NHL scoring and with Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid stealing a lot of the spotlight, it's hard to overlook the Russian winger's impact for the Tampa Bay Lightning who have had a slew of injuries this season yet still sit second in the Atlantic Division. Does Kucherov not get the attention he deserves on a national scale?Pat joins the show for another edition of Buy or Sell: Carter Hart and Adin Hill will be the goalie tandem for Vegas come playoffsVegas to win the PacificA big trade will occur before the Olympic BreakLastly, the guys discuss all the new faces that could be in the playoffs this season and if this parity is good for the NHL or if the parity devalues the Stanley Cup?0:00 - Intro3:15 - Are The Sabres Good?6:40 - Are Toronto's Playoff Hopes Over?11:15 - Red Wings in the Market12:05 - Boston Bruins15:00 - Pittsburgh Penguins15:20 - What Does Dubas Do With Evgeni Malkin?17:15 - Development21:40 - Anaheim Ducks28:00 - Bouchard Hatty35:30 - Nikita Kucherov38:40 - Buy or Sell50:55 - New Teams in the PlayoffsYou can get involved with all the NHL futures action over on bet365 by using the promo code NATION at bet365.comConnect with us on ⬇️TwitterInstagramWebsiteDaily Faceoff Merch Hosted on Acast.

Wayne Gretzky joins Neil Smith and Vic Morren for the very first NHL Wraparound episode. The Great One discusses Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers' remarkable 22-3 turnaround in their last 25 games, Connor Bedard adapting after Brendan Smith's legal jaw-breaking hit, generational players from Bobby Orr through Sidney Crosby to Austin Matthews potentially reaching 800 goals, and Alex Ovechkin's chase of 894. Hear about playing at 147 pounds in Indianapolis, learning from Bobby Clarke to play behind the net because Phil Esposito could stand in the box, why today's players are better than the 80s, Gordie Howe's class when records get broken, Edmonton's four-line success with Paul Coffey coaching defense and Mattias Ekholm's impact, Kenny Holland's patience at 2-9 not trading for a goalie, and transitioning to TNT with Liam McHugh, Anson Carter, Henrik Lundqvist and Paul Bissonnette who studies more than people realize. Plus the only wraparound goal Gretz remembers, steak vs salmon game day meals, playing against Mark Messier in Edmonton, and teaching Coyotes kids to be pros on a $25M payroll.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] - Welcome: First NHL Wraparound guest ever, Wayne Gretzky, The Great One[01:00] - Only wraparound goal Gretz remembers: Vancouver 1997 hat trick third goal[02:00] - Darren Blake traveling secretary: ordered salmon in Vancouver, Gretz wanted steak[03:00] - Steak and potato game day meal entire career, never eaten salmon on game day[04:00] - That night scored three goals, last one wraparound against Cloutier[05:00] - Today's kids: Nathan MacKinnon, Connor McDavid, practice tricks, get excited[06:00] - Gretz not comfortable with skills competition: nothing to gain, everything to lose[07:00] - Connor Bedard jaw injury: Brendan Smith legal hit coming through middle[08:00] - Smith answering the bell: showed teammates toughness, respect for game[09:00] - First day Indianapolis training camp: 147 pounds, Blaine Stoughton "this is our savior"[10:00] - Playing against bigger competition entire career: 6 vs 10-year-olds, 11 vs 12-year-olds[11:00] - 14 playing against 20-year-olds, 16 playing against 20-year-olds, never big[12:00] - Learned to protect myself through years of bigger competition[13:00] - Age 14 junior B coach Dean Pappas: Phil Esposito greatest center[14:00] - Esposito 500 shots one year, middle of box on power play, nobody could move him[15:00] - Coach: go home watch Bobby Clarke, played out of corners more than behind net[16:00] - Started playing behind net and corners because of size, copying Bobby Clarke[17:00] - Couldn't stand in middle of box: would've been on rear end, guys knocked you over[18:00] - Generational player definition: combination of skill, talent, consistency, championships[19:00] - Gordie Howe retired, Bobby Orr retired, Guy Lafleur retired, Mike Bossy retired[20:00] - Along came Mario Lemieux, Mark Messier, Steve Yzerman, game survived[21:00] - Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin: consistent every year, Crosby 37 having best year[22:00] - Both won championships, great for NHL, wonderful in communities[23:00] - Helping people less fortunate, helping kids who want to play hockey[24:00] - Not just on-ice, combination of ice, Stanley Cup, fitting into community[25:00] - Leon Draisaitl, Nathan MacKinnon, Mitch Marner, Austin Matthews, Connor McDavid next[26:00] - Great players, great for league, great in communities[27:00] - Never say we were better in 80s: these kids better than we were 40 years ago[28:00] - Progression: 20 years from now kids will be better than today, how NHL grows[29:00] - Impressed how kids handle themselves, play hard every night, show up competitive[30:00] - Winning Stanley Cup big part: MacKinnon and Makar won, Sidney won, Ovechkin

We started the show talking about Jackson Lacombe getting the call to Team USA for the Milan Olympics for the injured Seth Jones, was this the right call or should they have picked Lane Hutson or Adam Fox?On the USA topic, we discuss the best American players in NHL history and what the definition really means when it comes to American-born versus a player like Brett Hull who was Canadian-born but played for the States. This conversation comes up as Patrick Kane is inching closer to Mike Madano for the American-born scoring lead, but he still wouldn't pass Brett Hull for most NHL points by a deemed American skater. Is Patrick Kane the best American player and how do you compare forwards to defenders with players like Chris Chelios and Quinn Hughes potentially making cases? The difference in eras for the game of hockey, not only in points, but style of play and the hardships and expectations from players is always brought up when comparing players. How do you compare players from different eras given the advancement in training, nutrition, and more! The Buffalo Sabres had a statement win over division rivals, the Montreal Canadiens. After the Josh Doan signing should Jarmo continue his push to create a team poised for a future of playoff runs, starting with this season?Pat joins the show for Fill in the Blank:If a Canadian defender goes down ____ is the replacement____ is a team that is not doing themselves any favours by winning TOO MUCH____ takes home the Art RossThe Rocket race is becoming a run away for Nathan MacKinnon as the only guy on pace for 50 goals. With 50-goal scorers becoming a rarity in the league, is this bad for the game?The Nashville Predators sit one point out of the last wildcard spot in the West. Steven Stamkos had a hat-trick last night and is on pace for just under 40 goals. If the Predators sell Stamkos should be a sought after piece for a contender.We wrap up the show with some more Olympic injury news and rumours from Sweden, Canada, and the USA.You can get involved with all the NHL futures action over on bet365 by using the promo code NATION at bet365.comConnect with us on ⬇️TwitterInstagramWebsiteDaily Faceoff Merch Hosted on Acast.

Maybe let's include a short story about Steve the Maple Leafs fan: Steve had worn the same blue Maple Leafs Jersey every playoff game since 2017. It was faded now, the collar frayed from years of nervous tugging, the logo cracked like old pavement. He was thirty-seven, born in Scarbs, raised on stories of '67, and still believed—stubbornly, stupidly—that this was the year.Auston Matthews was the reason he still believed. Steve had watched 34 become the best pure goal-scorer on the planet. He'd screamed himself hoarse when Auston buried that Michigan against Ottawa, cried actual tears (alone, in the dark) when he potted 60 in '22. Matthews was Toronto's messiah, the one who would finally deliver the city from four decades of exquisite torture. As long as 34 was on the ice, there was still math that could work out.Then came the 2025 playoffs. Steve watched in horror as the Toronto Maple Leafs blew a 3-1 series lead - but they didn't just blow it - they got annihilated on home ice twice in games 5 and 7. During that Game 7 the camera caught their Captain Auston defeated on the bench: shoulders slumped, mouth slightly open, eyes hollow. Not angry. Not sad. Just… done.Steve turned the TV off before the handshake line. He didn't need to see it.He didn't watch highlights. Didn't read the autopsy threads on Reddit. Didn't even open the group chat that had been alive since junior high. He just sat in his House, jersey still on, staring at the blank screen.. Steve told himself he was only flipping channels the next season. But then he saw this wonderful hockey team and stayed.Nathan MacKinnon was a hurricane in human form. Cale Makar moved like he'd been taught gravity as an optional setting. And the Avalanche played like they were personally offended by losing. Fast. Mean. Joyful. They didn't clutch, they didn't collapse, they just… won. MacKinnon took the puck coast to coast, split the defense like scissors through paper, and roofed it. The bench exploded. Makar jumped the boards to hug him like a little brother. The crowd in Ball Arena sounded like a jet engine. Steve felt something shift in his chest. Not betrayal, exactly. More like waking up in a room you didn't realize you'd been locked inside for twenty years. He started watching more. Quietly at first. Then he bought the red hat. Then the Makar jersey arrived (he told himself it was “just comfortable”). By the Holiday Break he was yelling at the TV again, but this time the yells ended in goals. He was screaming into a pillow so the neighbours wouldn't call the police. Alone. Steve stared at the screen for a long moment. He didn't feel smug. He didn't feel superior. He just felt… tired. Tired of waiting for someone to save him. Tired of loving a team that kept asking him to hurt. He pulled the old blue hoodie out of the closet one last time. Smoothed the cracked logo with his thumb. Then he folded it carefully, placed it in the bottom drawer, and closed it.The next morning he wore red. He still loved Auston Matthews. Probably always would. But love, Steve had finally learned, doesn't mean you have to keep bleeding for it. Sometimes you just skate away. And for the first time in his life, the ice felt like freedom instead of punishment... Go Avs Go he secretly whispered before heading into work the next day - This story is entirely accurate and Steve is currently living his life as an secret Avs fan.

They discuss the recent winning stretch before looking to the test ahead, which kicks off with another measuring stick match against Colorado on Monday. Then, they chat about Dougie Hamilton's availability and whether the Leafs should be sending offers for the Devils' distressed asset. Later, the guys weigh in on Matias Maccelli overtaking John Tavares' spot on the top power play unit and Anthony Stolarz's looming return before welcoming in former NHLer and Avs analyst John-Michael Liles (30:50) to help tee up Toronto's matchup against Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and the Avalanche.

The superstars in the NHL don't get talked about enough, there's a lot of “and buts” around the NHL with Nathan MacKinnon is great this year but he hasn't won a Hart, Connor McDavid is great, but he's never won the Cup. The NBA doesn't have the same issue; how can the NHL change this?Marek got to meet Red Berenson and talk about Glenn Hall, Michael Hage, TJ Hughes, and Brandon Naurato. Quinn Hutson leads the AHL in goals as a rookie.The Nashville Predators are bucking some trends as they've moved up the standings to just trail the second wildcard spot.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp!The Buffalo Sabres have a four-game winning streak, a new GM, and now sit five points out of a playoff spot with a game in hand. Rupper thinks a playoff push would be detrimental in Buffalo, while Gregor believes they have some good pieces and are better than their record suggests. Do they go the San Jose route and rebuild, or the Nashville route and re-tool with veterans? Can Jarmo Kekäläinen change the culture in Buffalo and get the Sabres back into the playoffs soon?Sitting third in points behind Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon, has Macklin Celebrini punched his ticket to Team Canada? He currently has San Jose in a playoff spot, and the guys believe he would be the Hart Trophy winner if the Sharks make the postseason this year. Can the second-year forward beat out the likes of McDavid and MacKinnon for the award?John Klingberg is enjoying a career resurgence with the Sharks this season. His mobility looks closer to his prime years, and his offensive game is starting to shine alongside San Jose's young core. A physical and mental reset has allowed Klingberg to flash the star form he once showed in Dallas.Connor McDavid's hot streak is in full steam ahead. The Oilers captain has 14 points in his last five games, and any rumblings that McDavid had fallen off have quickly faded. Once again, he's proving he's arguably the best player in the world.Rupper recounts his time in Pittsburgh, where Sidney Crosby was constantly striving to improve—even after winning the Stanley Cup. Taking more faceoffs, improving defensively, shooting more, and doing anything possible to become a more complete, big-moment player.Nathan MacKinnon continues his shooting barrage as he leads the league in shots on goal. McDavid has seen an uptick in shooting during his hot streak, and Celebrini is climbing the list as well. The guys examine some of the league's top volume shooters and a few surprise leaders in shooting percentage, including one of the biggest up-and-comers in the scoring race, Morgan Geekie.Edmonton's offense is starting to roll as they head into the Christmas break, with no more road games against Eastern Conference teams remaining. With Tristan Jarry injured, is there renewed concern in the Oilers' crease, and what will they do if he's out long-term?Pat joins the show for Fill in the Blank:The percent chance Alex Tuch stays in Buffalo is ___The Minnesota Wild are missing ___ to truly become a top contenderThe team to win the regular season in the East will be ___Olympic roster predictions are in from Rupper and Gregor, starting with Rupp's Team USA selections. Cole Caufield is out, while Brock Nelson makes the roster up front. Despite his season in Anaheim, Cutter Gauthier was never in consideration for Rupp. There are no changes on defense, and while Seth Jones was strongly considered, Rupp couldn't find a spot for him.With Connor Bedard injured, Gregor slots Brandon Hagel in as his replacement. Would Bo Horvat be on the roster if he weren't injured? Evan Bouchard's improved defensive play earns him a spot, while Thomas Harley drops off as he continues to struggle after returning from injury in Dallas. Jordan Binnington remains on Gregor's roster based on merit and his Four Nations performance—but could his poor NHL play push him off the team by February?Want to hear more from Jason and the entire DFO team?

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Richie cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss the Nuggets and their lack of defensive prowess with their first time head coach, David Adelman. Is it worth the risk of playing Jamal Murray tonight in Indiana or wait until he is fully healthy to make sure, he doesn't join Gordon and Braun as starters missing extended time? Zach and Richie debate if Sunday's performance from Evan Engram was something we will continue to see or if it was a "flash in the pan"? We react to the historic run the Avalanche are on with only one regulation loss in their first 26 games. What kind of pace is Nathan MacKinnon on as far as points and goals go this season? What version of the Nuggets will we see in Indiana tonight? Will they be able to take care of business vs a lesser than opponent? 

Dover and Cecil began the show explaining why they want the Broncos to dominate the Raiders on Sunday. The fellas talked about the Avs getting another win last night with Nathan MacKinnon scoring 2 more goals. Do the Broncos have another gear that they can kick into? The guys broke down the money issue that CU is currently having. 

00:00 High Five.14:40 Nathan MacKinnon and Nikola Jokic's MVP chances.34:15 Danilo Gallinari retires.

The Sharks have surprised the league by sitting in a wildcard spot 27 games in, powered by 20-year-olds Macklin Celebrini—now second in league scoring behind Nathan MacKinnon—and Will Smith, though Ray still sees Anaheim as slightly ahead with better defence, size, and young depth. Team Canada faces a looming Olympic question: with a month until selections, can Connor Bedard realistically be left off the roster, and shouldn’t he at least be one of the two extras over another depth checker? Meanwhile, new concerns surface about Milan’s Olympic rink reportedly being four feet smaller than NHL size, and Ray wonders how much it would affect play. Trivia of the week: Crosby has scored on 167 different goalies, Ovechkin on 186—so how many did Ray beat in his career? We may need to crowd-sourse the answer. Winnipeg continues to spiral without Connor Hellebuyck, getting torched 5–1 by Buffalo as poor secondary scoring may be forcing players to cheat offensively and worsening their defensive issues. In Toronto, the Leafs may be exploring trades despite limited assets, with Troy Stecher making the most of a fresh opportunity amid blueline injuries. And in Carolina, the Hurricanes’ three-goalie system rolls on, with Brandon Bussi now 7–1 while facing just 27 total shots in his last two outings thanks to the Canes’ suffocating puck control.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of the Blackhawks Breakaway Podcast, Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis break down Chicago's three-game losing streak and explain why Sunday's 1–0 loss to the first-place Colorado Avalanche was still a step in the right direction. They also discuss Connor Bedard's matchup against Nathan MacKinnon's line with a member of Team Canada's management group for the 2026 Olympics in attendance and weigh in on the questionable officiating we've seen lately. Pat and Charlie react to NHL Insider Frank Seravalli's latest reporting on Bedard's contract negotiations and share their thoughts on the early projections. They also dive into the viral video of Bedard being swarmed by autograph-chasing resellers and defend Bedard in the process. The guys wrap up the episode by offering three Blackhawks-themed things they're thankful for.
