On this episode of 100% Hockey, Daren Millard and John Shannon welcome Darren Pang, one of the most respected voices in hockey broadcasting, for a wide-ranging conversation ahead of the upcoming NHL season.

From contenders and pretenders to the question of whether anyone can challenge the reigning champion Florida Panthers, Pang breaks down the league’s biggest storylines. The discussion touches on potential playoff races, Kirill Kaprizov’s future, Kyle Connor’s role in Winnipeg, and the ongoing contract chatter surrounding Connor McDavid.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a Pang appearance without some Chicago talk — he shares his thoughts on the Blackhawks’ outlook this season, giving us a closer look at the team he covers day in and day out.
