Then, Avalanche beat writer Aarif Deen (33:48) joins the guys to discuss how the team climbed back from down 0-3 to win Game 5, concern levels for Cale Makar's arm injury, Brett Kulak's impact on the roster, and Nathan MacKinnon's clutch game-tying goal.

Oilers' Options After Firing Kris Knoblauch

Sportsnet — Thu, 14 May 2026 21:00:41 GMT

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee kick off by reacting to some big news out in Western Canada: the Oilers parting ways with head coach Kris Knoblauch, and the Canucks announcing the Sedin twins as co-presidents and Ryan Johnson as GM.

Later, Oilers Now's Bob Stauffer (28:45) stops by to discuss what led to the Oilers' decision on Knoblauch, who — aside from Bruce Cassidy — the team is considering to be the next head coach, and the Connor McDavid aspect of the coaching change. Finally, Nick, Justin and Sam discuss the potential of a Morgan Rielly-Darnell Nurse swap.

Why Leafs firing Craig Berube shows GM John Chayka's decisive approach

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 14 May 2026 15:03:48 GMT

The Toronto Maple Leafs shake up their future as GM John Chayka makes the bold call to fire Craig Berube. Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti examine the “organizational shift,” the impact on stars like Auston Matthews, and what the next coaching search means for the team going forward.

Mike and Dave look at Berube’s mismanagement of top prospect Easton Cowan, the Maple Leafs’ need to get younger and faster, and whether Matthews’ usage under Berube stifled his elite production. The hosts analyze Chayka’s press conference for clues on roster vision, debate the significance of Matthews’ future, and weigh the importance of NHL experience in hiring the next head coach.

Bleedin' Blue & White Podcast: It's Been Awhile...

Thu, 14 May 2026 13:00:00 GMT

After a two-month hiatus, the Bleedin Blue & White Podcast returns with Corey, Nick, Jack, and Pete back behind the microphones for a long-overdue Leafs therapy session. With Jack returning fresh off graduating college and the full crew assembled once again, the gang dives into everything that’s happened since they last hit record.

The episode revisits the rollercoaster ride of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the fallout from a season that left fans with more questions than answers. Along the way, the guys mix in the usual banter, hot takes, and side tangents that make every episode feel like a conversation among friends watching hockey together.

As the discussion shifts around the NHL playoff picture, predictions start flying, alliances get tested, and loyalties become questionable. Nick stirs the pot with a Vegas pick, Pete weighs in with Carolina, Corey attempts to end the Canadian drought by jumping on Montreal, and the crew debates who really has a shot at making a run.

Equal parts hockey analysis, sarcasm, and group chat energy, this episode captures the familiar feeling of Leafs fans trying to make sense of another season while somehow already looking ahead to the next one.

The Leafs may be in limbo, but one thing hasn’t changed: hope, frustration, and irrational optimism are always in season. Go Leafs Go... with an enthusiasm level of about a four.
