    Show has not been the same since they moved to 2 hours. Segments are often rushed , or missed completely. When they try to get 2 insiders on the show , the 5 of them are talking over each other.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Corrado on the Maple Leafs' GM search, the candidates for the position and the Stanley Cup Playoffs
Q: Frankie, are you a proponent of bringing in past legends and alumni of the team? And if so, what kind of value would they even bring to the table?
I think it's valuable if the person is the best fit and has a genuine passion for the job, even if they're an alumnus, but it shouldn't be a prerequisite—priority should go to the best candidate who can articulate a clear plan and push back when needed.
OverDrive - April 22, 2026 - Hour 2 - Frank Corrado
Q: Frankie, are you a proponent of bringing in past legends and alumni of the team, and if so, what kind of value would they even bring to the table?
Corrado suggests it's not a prerequisite to hire an alumnus, but the best person for the job who has a genuine passion and ability to communicate with ownership and the board is ideal, whether or not they are an alumnus.
OverDrive - April 21, 2026 - Hour 2 - Mike Johnson
Q: What numbers stand out in the playoffs for Johnny's analysis?
Johnny highlights five-on-five goal scoring and high-danger chances, noting Philadelphia's defense and Pittsburgh's offense as a key matchup, with underlying pace and structure being decisive.
OverDrive - April 20, 2026 - Hour 1 - Josh Lewenberg
Q: If you could pick one thing you think Darko will do differently tonight, what do you think that will be?
Lewenberg suggests there are many adjustments needed, with a focus on involving Brandon Ingram more in the flow of the offense without overdoing it, and ensuring the offense remains balanced and natural rather than force-fed shots.
Maroon on the Lightning's team mindset, the series against the Canadiens and Hagel's performance
Q: Patty, what is the code for intensity and continuing scrums; does this escalation ever end?
The guests suggest that the intensity is part of the series' identity, with players willing to engage in physical battles to spark their teams, while acknowledging that referees and league discipline will eventually influence the pace if it continues unchecked.
