Sens Nation is back in playoff mode

The Detroit Red Wings capped off their season in the most fitting way possible: painfully. This podcast covers the Lightning and Panthers vs. Red Wings game recaps, & analysis of just why Todd McLellan's squad squandered their season in devastating fashion. (00:00) - Intro & Mickey Redmond's Broken Remotes Laughing through the pain as Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond perfectly illustrated all of our reactions to Hockeytown's meltdown. (05:40) - Red Wings vs. Panthers and Lightning Game Recaps A Larkin-less Red Wings team is thoroughly embarrassed by a depleted Panthers squad. Even Patrick Kane's 1400th point and Alex DeBrincat's 41 goals aren't enough for a silver lining. (12:45) - A Pathetic End for Detroit & Todd McLellan's Reaction Moritz Seider has a Norris Trophy-worthy season. John Gibson had an outstanding stretch. Dylan Larkin scored a career high in goals and Lucas Raymond produced even through injury. So how did Detroit finish the season in the most pathetic manner possible? (27:15) - Will Yzerman Keep McLellan On? Will Todd McLellan stay on as head coach this offseason, or will Steve Yzerman believe he's burned his connection to the room? What players have to go and what moves need to be made by the Red Wings front office to turn things around? (37:35) Offseason Trade Targets & Season Stats That Sting Elias Pettersson, Mason McTavish, Alexis Lafreniere, Kent Johnson - swing-for-the-fences names Steve Yzerman has to consider. Plus why the forward group is a bigger priority than the blue line. (50:40) NHL News & Playoff Matchups Set - Predictions Auston Matthews being non-committal in Toronto, the Leafs' AI trade proposal saga, and Rick Bowness getting an extension. The Eastern Conference bracket is locked in and a 7 vs. 8 first-round matchup exists because the NHL refuses to re-seed. Ottawa crossing over into the Metro. Sabres-Bruins, Lightning-Canadiens, Hurricanes-Senators, Penguins-Flyers - picks and upset calls for every series. Stars-Wild hinges on Roope Hintz & Miro Heiskanen's health, Golden Knights-Mammoth, and whether LA can give Anze Kopitar one last run. (1:12:20) Overtime: Patron Questions McLellan's influence on roster decisions, Zach Werenski pipe dreams, the Patrick Kane top-six debate, Carter Mazer's 2026 role, and what we actually want to hear from Yzerman's end-of-season presser. --- This episode is brought to you by Hims.

Mediocrity breeds contempt as Rick Bowness and Todd McLellan both vented their frustrations through the media when their teams were eliminated from playoff contention this week. Turning to the East playoff matchups, Tampa’s experience may give them a slight edge over Montreal in a feisty, likely tight series, Carolina’s goaltending remains a big question against Ottawa in what should be low-scoring, Pittsburgh/Philly renews a heated rivalry with plenty of unpredictability, and Buffalo’s speed and scoring could outlast Boston’s tighter style. In the West, playoff positioning is still shifting with L.A. seen as Edmonton’s ideal matchup as they await Leon Draisaitl’s return. Anaheim and Colorado also await outcomes in tonight's games. Dallas/Minnesota looks like a true coin flip but could be impacted by Stars' injuries, and Vegas faces a dangerous but inexperienced Utah despite the former riding a surge under new coach John Tortorella. NHL award chatter sees crowded Hart and Norris races, Peter Schaefer leading the Calder, Andrei Vasilevskiy and Ilya Sorokin atop Vezina consideration, and multiple strong Jack Adams candidates in a wide-open field.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Eastern Conference playoff race is heating up nightly, with even a light schedule delivering major implications—Boston grabbed two crucial points over Buffalo, solidifying their wildcard positioning and even threatening to move up on the Habs. Columbus has surged into contention under Rick Bowness, fuelled by standout goaltending from Jet Greaves and a Norris-caliber season from Zach Werenski, while Detroit finds itself slipping with a negative goal differential and lingering issues down the middle despite Dylan Larkin’s return. Ottawa, meanwhile, continues to roll despite a depleted blue line, with rookie Carter Yakemchuk scoring in his debut and drawing comparisons to a young Barrett Jackman, further cementing the feeling that the Sens can’t lose right now. In the Rocket Richard race, Nathan MacKinnon (46) and Cole Caufield (44) are both tracking toward 50 goals—a mark Montreal hasn’t seen since Vincent Damphousse—while Dallas stars Wyatt Johnston and Jason Robertson sit quietly among the league’s top scorers.

 Dan and Shawn are joined by Columbus Blue Jackets General Manager Don Waddell (23:30) to talk about hiring Rick Bowness,  the Blue Jackets rise under the coach, why he acquired forward Conor Garland before the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline, and some thoughts on the items being discussed at the NHL General Managers' meetings. In addition, the guys breakdown the playoff races in both conferences, detail the impact of Leon Draisaitl's lower-body injury that will keep him out of the Edmonton Oilers lineup for the remainder of the regular season, discuss some of the storylines coming out of the NHL General Managers' meetings and go over Matthew Schaefer's successful first game in Toronto in front of a large gathering of friends and family.
