In this episode, we open with the Toronto Maple Leafs winning the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery and what that means for the future of Auston Matthews in Toronto. Could this be the moment the Leafs finally consider moving their franchise player? From there, we shift into the league-wide award races as the Calder, Norris, and Hart Trophy finalists are officially announced, breaking down who deserves to win and why each race is so tight this season. We also take a look at major front-office news, including Jim Rutherford stepping down as the Canucks’ President of Hockey Operations and how that decision impacts Vancouver’s long-term direction. With the NHL salary cap set to rise for the 2026–27 season, we discuss which teams benefit the most and how the cap jump could reshape the offseason. Finally, we dive into the chaos of the second round of the NHL Playoffs. The Hurricanes sweep the Flyers, the Sabres and Canadiens are locked into a series that feels destined for seven games, the Wild refuse to go away against the Avalanche, and the Golden Knights expose the Ducks in a statement performance.  🔊 New episodes drop every Sunday & Thursday @ 7 PM EST 🔥  🎧 Stay locked in for the hottest takes, bold predictions, and real talk from around the NHL.  🔥 Follow Us on Social Media:  ▶ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@checkfrombehindpod?lang=en  ▶ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/checkfrombehind/  ▶ X (Twitter) | https://x.com/CheckFromBehind  ▶ Twitch | https://www.twitch.tv/checkingfrombehind  📧 Email | [email protected] 🎙️ Presented by The Hockey Podcast Network  💰 Sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook – The official sports betting partner of THPN: Spend just $5 you get $200 in bonus bets SIGN UP HERE: https://tinyurl.com/DKSIGNUP25  💥 Powered by DUBBY — Fuel your game at https://www.dubby.gg/ and use code CFBPOD to save 10% on your entire order.  00:00:00 Introduction  00:01:00 Leafs Win Draft Lottery  00:18:40 Calder Finalists  00:24:27 Norris Trophy  00:32:06 Hart Trophy Finalists  00:38:39 Jim Rutherford Stepping Down  00:45:41 NHL Salary Cap Rising  00:52:24 2nd Round Talk  01:23:45 Outro Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We’ve got a shorter episode today, but we jump right into the chaos around the NHL.

The NHL playoff picture is taking shape, and in this episode we break down the six teams that officially clinched a postseason berth over the weekend. Some were expected from the start of the season — others shocked the league. We open in the Eastern Conference, where the Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, and Ottawa Senators all locked in their playoff spots.

Then we shift to the Western Conference, where three more teams punched their ticket: the Vegas Golden Knights, Edmonton Oilers, and the Utah Mammoth. We break down how each team got here and what their potential first‑round matchups could look like. To wrap things up, we discuss the Detroit Red Wings being officially eliminated from playoff contention — and how they now hold the NHL’s longest active playoff drought at 10 seasons. 🔊 New episodes drop every Sunday & Thursday @ 7 PM EST 🔥  🎧 Stay locked in for the hottest takes, bold predictions, and real talk from around the NHL. 🔥  Follow Us on Social Media:  ▶ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@checkfrombehindpod?lang=en  ▶ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/checkfrombehind/  ▶ X (Twitter) | https://x.com/CheckFromBehind  ▶ Twitch | https://www.twitch.tv/checkingfrombehind  📧 Email | [email protected]  🎙️ Presented by The Hockey Podcast Network  💰 Sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook – The official sports betting partner of THPN: Spend just $5 you get $200 in bonus bets SIGN UP HERE: https://tinyurl.com/DKSIGNUP25  💥 Powered by DUBBY — Fuel your game at https://www.dubby.gg/ and use code CFBPOD to save 10% on your entire order.  (00:00:00) Welcome to CFB Pod  (00:04:33) Penguins Clinch Playoff Berth  (00:14:57) Senators Clinch Playoff Berth  (00:21:07) Boston Bruins Clinch Playoff Berth  (00:34:52) Golden Knights Clinch Playoff Berth  (00:38:50) Oilers Clinch Playoff Berth  (00:47:28) Mammoth Clinch Playoff Berth  (00:52:39) Red Wings Miss Playoffs Again (01:06:18) Outro Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Buffalo Sabres have officially clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2011, and we open the episode breaking down what this moment means for the franchise, the fanbase, and the Eastern Conference picture. From there, we dive into the chaotic Eastern Conference wild card race and evaluate which teams are surging — and which ones are collapsing — with just two weeks left in the NHL regular season. We also react to Keith Tkachuk’s controversial comments that lit up the hockey world and discuss how players, fans, and teams are responding. Then we shift to the Western Conference, where the LA Kings just played their record‑breaking 31st game that needed extra time. We look at what that says about their style, their playoff readiness, and their identity. We also check in on the San Jose Sharks’ rebuild and whether their long‑term plan is finally taking shape. To wrap things up, we talk about the red‑hot Edmonton Oilers reclaiming control of the Pacific Division and what their late‑season surge means for the playoff bracket.  🔊 New episodes drop every Sunday & Thursday @ 7 PM EST 🔥  🎧 Stay locked in for the hottest takes, bold predictions, and real talk from around the NHL.  🔥 Follow Us on Social Media:  ▶ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@checkfrombehindpod?lang=en  ▶ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/checkfrombehind/  ▶ X (Twitter) | https://x.com/CheckFromBehind  ▶ Twitch | https://www.twitch.tv/checkingfrombehind  📧 Email | [email protected]  🎙️ Presented by The Hockey Podcast Network  💰 Sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook – The official sports betting partner of THPN: Spend just $5 you get $200 in bonus bets SIGN UP HERE: https://tinyurl.com/DKSIGNUP25  💥 Powered by DUBBY — Fuel your game at https://www.dubby.gg/ and use code CFBPOD to save 10% on your entire order.   (00:00:00) Welcome to CFB Pod  (00:00:34) Sabres Clinch Playoff Spot 0 (0:22:22) East Playoff Update  (00:29:51) Flyers Are Hot  (00:41:54) Keith Tkachuk's Comments  O(00:46:09) West Playoff Update  (01:08:05) Outro Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The NHL has a serious accountability problem — and the GMs are fed up. In this episode of Checking From Behind, we break down everything that went down at the NHL GM meetings, where tensions boiled over around goaltender interference and player safety. GMs are frustrated, Bettman is on the defensive, and players are being left unprotected. We then dive into the AJ Greer hit on Connor Zary and ask the question everyone is thinking — does the Department of Player Safety need serious changes? A phone hearing for that hit? Really? Plus, the Colorado Avalanche become the first team to clinch a playoff spot, and Nathan MacKinnon weighs in on whether the NHL should bring back 5v5 overtime in the regular season. Spoiler: he's not a fan. Connor McDavid called the Pacific Division a "pillow fight" — we react and take a full look at both the East and West wild card races heading into the week. And to close things out, we go through some proposed NHL rule changes making the rounds on social media. Are any of them actually good ideas?  🔊 New episodes drop every Sunday & Thursday @ 7 PM EST 🔥  🎧 Stay locked in for the hottest takes, bold predictions, and real talk from around the NHL.  🔥 Follow Us on Social Media:  ▶ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@checkfrombehindpod?lang=en  ▶ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/checkfrombehind/  ▶ X (Twitter) | https://x.com/CheckFromBehind  ▶ Twitch | https://www.twitch.tv/checkingfrombehind  📧 Email | [email protected]  🎙️ Presented by The Hockey Podcast Network  💰 Sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook – The official sports betting partner of THPN: Spend just $5 you get $200 in bonus bets SIGN UP HERE: https://tinyurl.com/DKSIGNUP25 💥  Powered by DUBBY — Fuel your game at https://www.dubby.gg/ and use code CFBPOD to save 10% on your entire order.  (00:00:00) Intro  (00:07:18) GM Meetings Got Heated  (00:11:03) DOPS Issues  (00:20:48) Avs Clinch Playoff Spot  (00:24:56) 5v5 OT In Reg Szn??  (00:33:17) Playoff Races  (00:38:17) Pacific Division  (00:52:15) NHL Rule Changes Proposed  (01:04:36) Outro Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are FALLING APART. Auston Matthews tore his MCL on a leg-to-leg hit from Radko Gudas — and not a single Maple Leaf did anything about it. We break down the Gudas hit, the pathetic team response, and whether it is finally time to fire Brad Treliving and Craig Berube before this franchise wastes another year.
