The Athletic Hockey Show

The New York Rangers are never far from the headlines in the hockey world, but that was especially true last Friday when GM Chris Drury penned an open letter announcing the team’s second “retool” in eight years, followed by the news that leading scorer Artemi Panarin will not continue to star on Broadway next season. On today’s show, The Athletic’s own Vince Mercogliano joins the guys to discuss the Rangers retool and potential trade destinations for the likes of Panarin, Vincent Trocheck, and Braden Schneider. Plus, The Athletic’s Jesse Granger helps break down the Vegas Golden Knights’ acquisition of Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames, Brandon Bussi’s impressive play for the Carolina Hurricanes, and the latest Vezina odds. And, to close things out, Max and Laz discuss Jonathan Toews’ return to the United Center Monday night when his Winnipeg Jets take on the Blackhawks in Chicago.

Sean and Sean offer up their replacements for Brayden Point, if the star forward from the Tampa Bay Lightning won't be healthy enough in time to play for Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics. They guys welcome Aaron Portzline to discuss the struggling Blue Jackets and the impact new coach Rick Bowness will have on this perennial underachieving team, and Sean and Sean discuss how Mitch Marner has fit in with the Vegas Golden Knights and if the Boston Bruins are a legitimate playoff team.

Olympic hockey is set to begin in 25 days, but construction on the arenas in Italy has not been completed and problems with the ice surface persist, despite improvements. To that end, The Athletic’s NHL insider Chris Johnston joins the show and gives his firsthand report about the situation on the ground from Milan. Plus, The Athletic’s Arpon Basu helps the guys break down the suddenly red hot Atlantic Division, and to close things out, Max and Laz discuss the false narrative surrounding Linus Ullmark’s leave from the Ottawa Senators after GM Steve Staios released a statement about it last week.
