    Detroit Slipping & Leafs Under Fire + The Playoff Race Tightens

    With the NHL season entering its final stretch, the playoff race is tightening across both conferences, and several teams suddenly find themselves in serious trouble. The guys start with the Detroit Red Wings, who are now facing a massive challenge after injuries to Dylan Larkin and Andrew Copp. Can Detroit survive this stretch and finally end their playoff drought? They also break down the race in the East involving the Penguins, Islanders, Blue Jackets, and Senators, and which teams are most at risk of falling out of the playoff picture. Plus, the guys discuss the Seattle Kraken slipping after the trade deadline, whether their quiet deadline will come back to haunt them, and the growing pressure on teams fighting to stay in the race. The conversation also turns to the Toronto Maple Leafs, where a controversial knee-on-knee hit on Auston Matthews sparked a bigger discussion about the team’s culture and lack of response on the ice. Other topics include: The Nick Schmaltz extension in UtahSurprising players around the NHL this seasonWhich teams are most likely to fall out of the playoff racePotential first round playoff matchups to watch With the postseason approaching fast, every point is starting to matter.

    Which deadline trade talks could pick back up this summer? | DFO Rundown Insider Edition

    Which deadline trade talks could pick back up this summer? On this episode of the DFO Rundown Insider Edition, the guys look at some of the names that generated buzz at the trade deadline but ultimately stayed put. Could those conversations pick back up once the offseason begins? Players like Matthew Knies, Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou and Rasmus Ristolainen were tied to plenty of speculation, and teams that missed out in March may circle back when the market opens again. They also discuss clubs that could still be looking to fill key holes in their rosters, including the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens. Neither team made a big move in March, but both could be big players in June and July. Meet our insiders: Irfaan Gaffar of Daily Faceoff, Canucks Army, & Rink Wide Vancouver is joined by David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, SiriusXM NHL, and NHL Network. They look around the NHL, reacting to the week's news and digging into the contracts, trades, and moves that are still on the horizon. 0:00 - Intro 0:59 - Biggest deadline takeaway 3:05 - Montreal Canadiens 6:59 - Ottawa Senators 9:24 - Edmonton Oilers 12:01 - St. Louis & Philadelphia not selling players with term 15:30 - Toronto Maple Leafs 22:40 - Vancouver Canucks 30:08 - Pagnotta's quick hitters 33:06 - bet365 weekly picks 33:39 - Outro Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!
