Back to EpisodesEpisode 118: 2026 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Preview with Ryan Quigley
Description
My friend Ryan Quigley joins the podcast for the first time to preview the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs! Ryan's a Flyers fan, so we start off by talking about how Philadelphia turned things around this season, their first-round matchup with the Penguins and if they can make a run.
On the Eastern Conference side, we also discuss whether the Hurricanes can finally get over the hump and make the Stanley Cup Final, how the Sabres put together such a stellar season and how the Lightning-Canadiens series might shake out.
On the Western Conference side, Ryan and I break down the Utah Mammoth making the playoffs in their second season of existence; if the Oilers and Connor McDavid can finally get it done; the Stars-Wild matchup; and if the Avalanche truly are the favorite to win it all.
