Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

05-27-26 Hour 2 - Will the Avs keep Jared Bednar/KJ's NFL Notes/Avs Cap Space for the offseason
Q: What are the chances Bednar is retained if the Avalanche miss the playoffs again?
The hosts acknowledge strong loyalty to Bednar but point to a history of quick coaching changes in the NHL after near-misses, suggesting ownership would evaluate based on the window and potential gains from a new voice.
04-29-26 Hour 2 - Conor McGahey joins us/KJ's NFL Notes/How to unlock effecient Jamal Murray
Q: How do you view Tyus Jones' minutes affecting Jamal Murray's playoff impact?
Jones can relieve Murray by taking 7-10 minutes on certain nights, potentially enabling Murray to be fresher for clutch moments late in games.
04-29-26 Hour 2 - Conor McGahey joins us/KJ's NFL Notes/How to unlock effecient Jamal Murray
Q: What did you think about the Ted Lindsey award considerations for McKinnon versus Kucherov?
The panel notes that McKinnon's strong regular season points are compelling, but the debate hinges on whether emerging players like Celebrini or long-time snubs should be favored by voters; Kucherov's late-season surge is also a talking point.
04-29-26 Hour 2 - Conor McGahey joins us/KJ's NFL Notes/How to unlock effecient Jamal Murray
Q: Scott Wedgwood was not a Vezina finalist after leading metrics; what's your take on that snub?
There's a frustration with the snub given Wedgwood's elite goals-against and save percentage, and the argument centers on whether the voters weigh traditional stats more than underlying metrics.
04-16-26 Hour 1 - NBA Play-In Tourney + Rockies Fumble/Dempsey's NBA Baseline/MacKinnon on Necas 100 Points
Q: Has anything surprised you in the play-in games, and can any of the late-entry teams make waves against the top seeds?
Dempsey says probably not, but Charlotte is entertaining and could push in a favorable matchup; overall, the play-in stories are more about the rising young teams and the potential for surprising moments rather than immediate upsets.
