Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Playoff Mentality with Dr. Alicia Naser + Stars-Wild Primer
Q: And I've always wondered, like when you're dealing with athletes in any sport, does the conversation change between regular season and the playoffs?
Acknowledge that the stakes are higher and athletes may need a different emphasis on pressure management, but the core concepts—habits, routines, and emotional regulation—remain, just applied with greater intensity during playoffs.
Canada's World Championship Outlook + Oilers-Ducks Game 3 Preview
Q: How should the Oilers adjust to the Ducks' front-end pressure and net-front presence?
Remenda emphasizes staying disciplined in the middle, using box-out and tie-up techniques to give the goalie a clear view, while avoiding over-reliance on shot-blocking and instead focusing on preventing second-chance opportunities.
Canada's World Championship Outlook + Oilers-Ducks Game 3 Preview
Q: What do you expect tonight in a game that's been high-scoring and open defensively?
Remenda suggests Edmonton won't be able to fully lock down the Ducks yet and expects the Oilers to continue weathering pressure while Connor McDavid remains the focal point of their attack, with more support from Leon Draisaitl when healthy.
Around the NHL with Elliotte Friedman: The Playoff Whistle + A Whole Chicken?!
Q: What zoo are you at today, sir?
Friedman acknowledges the ongoing banter about being at a zoo, then pivots to discuss the chatter around the playoff series and the broader NHL events of the night.
Around the NHL with Elliotte Friedman: Sunny Days in New Jersey + Allvin Out in Vancouver
Q: What is your take on the overall direction of the Devils with Sunny Mehta as the decision-maker—do you think this signals a broader strategy or a transitional phase?
Mehta's appointment as the key decision-maker suggests a strategic, long-term approach rather than a rushed title change, with the emphasis on guiding the rebuild and aligning front-office decisions with the organization's goals.
