In this week's episode, Jesse Montano and Meghan Angley skate coast-to-coast around the NHL as playoff races heat up. Who’s built for a deep run and who’s just faking it? We break down the biggest swings at the deadline - from Toronto’s retooled blue line to Tampa’s bold grab of Gourde and Bjorkstrand and ask the hard question: who’s really ready for a Cup chase? Plus, we dive into Cale Makar's jaw-dropping season, as the Avalanche superstar becomes the first NHL defenseman in over a decade to hit the 30-goal mark. With names like Paul Coffey, Bobby Orr, and now Makar on the list, is he rewriting what we expect from the modern D-man? And speaking of Makars, Cale’s younger brother Taylor Makar just wrapped his NCAA season at Maine and is now suiting up for the Colorado Eagles. We talk about his development, playing style, and what his arrival could mean for the Avalanche pipeline.
