Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Oilers Core + Terry Koshan (Leafs) - May 4th, 2026 - Hour 2
Q: What's the biggest concern with Chayka being the GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs?
Koshan notes concerns about whether Chayka has enough experience, how his leadership will translate from his four-year GM stint, and whether Sundin's presence can help but also complicate expectations, as the role requires clear, decisive moves and a strong coaching/management alignment.
McDavid Continues To Struggle + Mick Kern (NHL) - April 23rd, 2026 - Hour 2
Q: What do you make of Connor McDavid's first two playoff games with zero points?
The hosts frame it as a combination of Ducks' aggressive pressure and Edmonton's need to adjust, while Mick Kern notes McDavid's recovery from an injury scare and emphasizes that the star will likely rebound as the series progresses.
Oilers/Ducks Game 2 + Derek Van Diest (NHL) - April 22nd, 2026 - Hour 1
Q: What can fans expect in game two in terms of physicality and intensity compared to game one?
Van Diest suggests that animosity often ramps up in games two and three as teams settle into the series, with potential big hits and increased rivalry once teams start to feel each other out.
Oilers/Ducks Game 2 + Derek Van Diest (NHL) - April 22nd, 2026 - Hour 1
Q: How much does Anaheim rely on Goudas being in the lineup, and what does his absence mean for their blue line against Edmonton?
Van Diest notes Goudas is a physical, steady defender whose absence is a big loss for Anaheim; the Ducks will need to adjust with the remaining defensemen and rely on depth and mobility to counter Edmonton's attack.
Oilers/Ducks Game 2 + Derek Van Diest (NHL) - April 22nd, 2026 - Hour 1
Q: Derek, the Ducks managed to do something that a lot of teams really can't or aren't able to do, and that's shut down Conor McDavid or keep him off the scoreboard. Is that something they can take into game two?
Van Diest explains that while Ducks did well to limit McDavid, the Oilers have multiple players who can step up, and Anaheim's success may hinge on maintaining pace and pressuring the Oilers' other lines to keep McDavid from having easy looks without help from teammates.
