  • Dilution

    Thank you for speaking truth to dilution and the fact today’s league is so much stronger than the 70’s and Gretzky’s era. The other factor is the continuing increase in Canadian minor hockey registration.

  • Biased Reporting

    Thought I was listening to Locked on Oilers the way these two were glazing the Oilers. No mention of how the Panthers are playing so well. Had the audacity to criticize Bob after 30 minutes of praising Skinner. Lame show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can Gavin McKenna be the next Nikita Kucherov?
Q: What made that a hot debate as you were reporting out this story?
The hesitancy among scouts regarding Matthew Schaefer's potential due to less consensus on defensemen evaluations and questions about his offensive upside.
Which NHL rebuild is closest to a Stanley Cup?
Q: Do you think a team built around an elite winger group and multiple solid to good 2Cs can win a cup?
It's hard to find a true one C in free agency, so the only path forward is maybe by trade or luck in the draft.
Which NHL rebuild is closest to a Stanley Cup?
Q: Cliff D. wanted to know about the Blackhawks going with Artem Levshinov over Ivan Demidov in 2024, asking what defenseman would be a logical pick for them at number three?
They probably would have had to trade back, I guess, is the answer to the question.
How to fix the Buffalo Sabres
Q: Does Lindy Ruff get to coach another playoff game for the Buffalo Sabres this season?
If he doesn't coach a playoff game this season, he likely won't in the future, as this is the final season of his contract.
How to fix the Buffalo Sabres
Q: Is this team even any better than they were at the end of last season's disastrous year?
Yes, the roster makes more sense compared to last year and they have new players that fit needs, but there are still big question marks to address.
