Derek Kramer joins Gene & Tim in The Sports Bar to talk Reggie Gilliam, Connor McGovern, Mitch Trubisky. The DJ Moore Trade. The Bills WR room. Maxx Crosby & Kenneth Walker. The 1st place Buffalo Sabres take down the Lightning. Rasmus Dahlin. Any concerns? Playoffs & Lindy Ruff.
Do we dare? Yes, we do! It is NHL Trade Deadline Day! There were a few moves yesterday and a frenzy is expected before the noon deadline, but will the Kraken participate? The inconsistent play of the Kraken doesn't bode well for a strong playoff run, if they make the playoffs… and a trade for a big name sure could help bolster this offense. Is it a miss if they don't make a move? :30- It's NFL trade rumor season, are the Chicago Bears prepping to trade for Maxx Crosby? The Seahawks have reportedly been in talks to get Crosby, with rumors circulating that John Schneider has made a couple offers for the vet. Would it be smarter for the Seahawks to pass on a possible trade for Maxx Crosby and hang onto their draft capital and go for free agent Trey Hendrickson? :45- There's some serious beef between the National media guys! Florio and Schefter are going after each other on X and the beef is highly entertaining. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Headlines and 12th man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) - Is the beef with the National media guys legit? - Is Schneider in on getting Maxx Crosby? - How big of a deal is the Drake Thomas extension? - What would Gregg expect from Schneider and the Seahawks heading into Tamperfest? :30- Yesterday we talked about JP Crawford and his defensive concerns, but offensively, could he have his best offensive year yet? JP has the best eye on the team and with the introduction of the ABS system this season, he can benefit from the terrible calls he frequently gets and use it to his advantage. :45- Do the Kraken know there's an NHL trade deadline coming up in 4 hours? There's only been silence coming from our local hockey team on the trade front, so we wait… and hope. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We cover the top 8 sports stories of the day in the OCHO 1. 3 days til we tamper! 2. Seahawks reward Drake Thomas 3. NHL Trade Deadline less than 4 hours away… 4. World Baseball Classic 5. Mariners Spring Training 6. Sounders in St Louis 7. UW closes out the regular CBB season 8. GESA State Championships :30- It's time to Check Yes or No one more time before Tamperfest and the frenzy get underway! - Kenneth Walker, Rashid Shaheed, Boye Mafe, Coby Bryant, Josh Jobe and Riq Woolen… who is coming back to the Seahawks? :45- No, Jerry Dipoto didn't just start making the right moves, he's been doing it all along, but the Mariners front office also got out of their own way and it's paying off. A top 5 farm system AND a World Series contender? That's impressive. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
HUGH MILLEN's Free Agency X's and O's We have Hugh break down the contributions of the Seahawks six major free agents and take a look at whether or not the Seahawks should bring them back. :30- MIKE BENTON (Kraken Audio Network) Mike joins us with just about 2 ½ hours to go until the NHL Trade Deadline.

We got right into the action this Wednesday morning as there was lots of South Florida Sports action last night! Tobin and Leroy wave the white flag on the Panthers season as it becomes increasingly likely they will not make the playoffs, but fans think they are just making excuses. The Heat take down the Nets in a convincing fashion, but can they keep this winning streak going! Marlins TV Analyst Tommy Hutton joins the show to talk about his decision to retire after this season, the Marlins positives, prospects, and stories from over the years!
It was a jam-packed and chaotic Wednesday in South Florida sports. The crew reacts to the Florida Panthers' fading playoff hopes, a convincing Miami Heat win over the Brooklyn Nets, and welcomes longtime Miami Marlins TV analyst Tommy Hutton to reflect on his retirement and the future of the franchise. The debate heats up after news that Kyler Murray could be available, sparking a heated argument over whether the Miami Dolphins should chase a veteran QB or build through the draft. Things spiral from there — from smash burger controversy to goalie drama involving Sergei Bobrovsky — before the show veers into farm stories, horse breeding science, and classic Tobin fourth-quarter mind wanderings. All that plus Rats Off A Ship, 15 Minutes of Heat, and the usual South Florida sports mayhem.
Things take a bit of a turn in the third hour when Tobin declares that Smash Burgers are a scam, the gang seems to mirror his opinion except Brittney which of course turns into a quibble about what the best burgers are. We pause the burger talk when news strikes that the Panthers have signed a goalie to a 2 way contract which causes Tobin to absolutely spiral because this be the beginning of the end of Sergei Bobrovsky with the Panthers. Then it is time for our favorite Wednesday game Rats Off A Ship!; Number one picks going back to school, Dolphin trades, and Reese's new competition!
Tim Schneider says the Buffalo Sabres will win the Atlantic division and the Stanley Cup in 2026.
The WBC gets underway today, so we preview the international tournament with a Green Jacket Draft and a look at who we think will win the whole thing, plus which players will have the biggest impact for their respective countries. :30- AL KINISKY (Kraken Audio network color analyst) Just like that, the Kraken are playing good hockey again, so what's changed over the last two games? The NHL trade deadline is just two days away, can we expect the Kraken to be involved in a blockbuster trade? If the Kraken want to go out and get one of the big guys, they're going to have to give up something big… :45- We close out this humpday show with one last thing!

We are playing a little game of Check Yes or No… It's almost time for NFL free agency and we need to take a look at some possible free agent wide receivers for the Seahawks, including bring back Shaheed or bringing in some high-paid vets. :30- EVERETT FITZHUGH (KAN PxP) Everett is flying high after that big Kraken win over the Hurricanes last night. The Kraken put together one of their best efforts of the season- how did they do it? Jamie Oleksiak came through last night… The NHL trade deadline is on Friday, does Everett expect the Kraken to make a move? :45- Let's explore these Maxx Crosby to the Seahawks rumors a little bit more… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We are setting ourselves up for (limited) success today! It's Tag Day! Will the Seahawks franchise tag Kenneth Walker today and should they? :30- What a win! The Kraken came away with a 2-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes last night behind 35 saves from #35. The Jekyll and Hyde story continues, but the Kraken look to keep this side of the streak going tomorrow against St Louis. :45- The Maxx Crosby trade rumors are really heating up as reports say the Raiders could trade the defensive star this week. Could he end up in Seattle and would he make the Seahawks awesomer? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning wrap up Tuesday morning with Team Canada manager Ernie Whitt, discussing expectations for the World Baseball Classic and the impact of experienced coaches.

We start this Monday somber as the Panthers lose to the Islanders last night and Tobs is waving the white flag on the season as things are looking rather bleak. Leroy begs the question on if it is time to move on from Bobrovsky and Tobin doesn't want to hear it. Tobin must of course troll Brittney as F1 season is upon us! It is then time for 15 Min of Heat; as the Heat had an action packed weekend with Tyler Herro and Kevin Durant having choice words for each other Saturday!

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.
JERRY PALM (PalmBrackets.com) The college basketball season is winding down and we finally have some time to focus on it with less than a week left in the regular season, so it's time for our annual chat with Jerry. He's a Purdue Boilermaker, so we have to start with his thoughts on rival Indiana suddenly being a football school. Is CBB feeling very top-heavy this year? Looking at the potential March Madness brackets, is there any seed lower than a 3 that would have a chance to win it all? How impressive is this freshman class? And Remember the days when college basketball players stayed for 3 or 4 years? Sigh… How are the Zags looking heading into March and what will that loss at Portland cost them? Who are some sleepers we should keep our eye on? :30- IAN FURNESS joins the show on the heels of the Kraken's first game back after the Olympic break, a 4-1 loss in Dallas. Last night's game was a dud, but it wasn't surprising to Ian, so he's not worried. Now, if the same thing happens tonight against a bad Blues team, then we might have a problem. The Kraken have been streaky all season long, is Ian worried about that continuing? When this team is cooking; what are the things they're doing well? :45- The Seahawks have the 32nd pick in this year's NFL Draft, but this year seems primed for a John Schneider trade down to add more picks.

There are situations and then there are sit-i-ations and in the NFL there seems to be a lot of Sit-i-ations… - Could the Ken Walker situation turn into a sit-i-ation? - Philadelphia Eagles- Sirianni can't guarantee AJ Brown will be back next year…while his comments were taken out of context, there's still some trouble brewing in Philly. - 49ers- uh oh! They have another sit-i-ation… yes, the Brandon Aiyuk situation has been resolved and he's gone, but the tentacles are affecting other areas, including Trent Williams. Could the Niner actually cut him because of cap issues? - Vegas has a lot of sit-i-ations to deal with- does Maxx Crosby really want to be back with the Raiders or are they playing a game of improve your trade value? - The Trey Hendrickson sit-i-ation in Cincinnati has been a sit-i-ation for so long that now it's just a situation and it's time for the Bengals to just let him go. - The Tua si-i-ation might be the ultimate sit-i-ation and it's painfully obvious the Dolphins don't want the QB anymore. Soooo, about that swap for Kyler Murray? :30- AL KINISKY (KAN color analyst) joins the show and we have an actual Kraken hockey game to discuss! We get Al's thoughts on his Canadians taking home the silver after a loss to the US in the gold medal match. How is the health of the Kraken after the Olympic break and what advantages do they have from not having too many players in the games? How will the momentum carry the players moving forward and can the Kraken take advantage of the opportunity they have in Dallas with several players out? Will the next 5 or so games determine if the Kraken make the playoffs? Al gives us his keys to tonight and this return to hockey for the Kraken. :45- We close out the show with one last thing!

Headlines and 12th man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) Gregg got stranded in Boston but wasn't going to let a couple feet of snow stop him from getting to the Combine! He joins us from the road as he roadtrips his way from Boston to Indianapolis. What are the chances the Seahawks bring back Ken Walker? They've had plenty of chances to get a deal done before this point, but by all accounts, they haven't approached Walker or his people about making something happen. If the Seahawks don't bring back Walker, where do they spend that money? Who becomes the priority? :30- EELI TOLVANEN (Seattle Kraken) joins the show fresh off his Olympic bronze medal. His Finnish team beat Sweden for the bronze, so we ask him what makes Finland better than Sweden? How is he feeling coming off the Olympics? Is he tired? With 25 games to go, we talk to Eeli about the playoff push and more. :45- There were so many takeaways from last week in Peoria, so it's time to find out what Chuck learned at Spring Training Part 3. The organization is very excited about Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan, but how will they be used? What we learned is that we don't expect either of them to appear much, barring injury (knock on wood) and if there is an issue, Emerson Hancock would be the 1st man up. Where does the starting pitching depth go from there? Yes, there is a chance they will both make their debuts this year, but we don't expect to see them early.

It's Pajama Party week in Indianapolis as the Combine is underway. Workouts begin on Thursday and we take a look at some key prospects with Ken Walker's future with the Seahawks up in the air. Who should we have our eye on and where could the Seahawks potentially land a running back in the draft? :30- EVERETT FITZHUGH (KAN PxP) Kraken hockey is back tomorrow, how excited is Everett? The playoff push starts tomorrow in Dallas- can the Kraken keep that momentum they had before the Olympic break? How big of an advantage is it for the Kraken to have only sent 4 players to Italy? How big of a boost will hockey get from that USA Gold Medal win? :45- Everett mentioned the Olympic experience, but that most Americans & Canadians are still all about the Stanley Cup.

Team USA and Canada capped off an incredible two week run at the Olympics featuring NHL Players.

Denver Gazette beat reporter Evan Rawal joins Meghan Angley to break down the current state of the Avs, starting with the team's biggest on-ice needs. We dive into what a true playoff 3C should look like, how Colorado can upgrade its depth, and why size does --- or doesn't --- matter when projecting postseason success. We also explore Jared Bednar's project over the Olympic break, examining what areas of the game the coaching staff is likely digging into and how this evaluation period could shape decisions down the stretch. From there, the focus shifts to the trade deadline landscape: how aggressive the Avalanche should be, what types of players fit their system, and how Colorado can best leverage its draft picks, prospects, and roster assets. We discuss potential target profiles, market realities, and how the front office might balance short-term Cup pursuit with long-term flexibility. Finally, we look ahead to Olympic expectations for players like Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Brock Nelson, and more: which countries could surprise on the international stage, and how the tournament could impact the Avalanche heading into the stretch run.
The Colorado Avalanche sit atop the League with a comfortable lead and games in hand. Denver Post Avalanche beat writer Corey Masisak joins Meghan Angley to break down the current state of the Avs, from a league-worst power play to questions about sustainability. Is this team a contender masking flaws with elite talent or are they really that good? They dig into the team with and without Gabriel Landeskog, how closely his absence is tied to the team's identity, and whether that dependence is a red flag or simply reality. Corey also weighs in on trade deadline priorities including the need for a 3C and depth D. Plus: who are some surprise performers for the Avs this season?

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.
