In this episode, we kick things off with the excitement building around the start of Men’s Olympic Hockey. We break down our full 2026 Olympic Hockey preview, including roster thoughts, matchup expectations, and our predictions for who takes home the gold. From there, we shift to the NHL standings heading into the break, looking at where every team sits and whether we could see any major movement once play resumes. We also revisit our preseason award picks and compare them to our updated choices based on how the season has unfolded. Next, we dive into the Columbus Blue Jackets’ surprising surge, a stretch of games that has completely changed the outlook of their season. And to wrap things up, we close with our bold predictions for the rest of the 2026 NHL regular season.
