Everybody Ropes Everybody Rides

In this episode of 32 Thoughts, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman look at the Oilers showing signs of something sustainable with strong underlying numbers, while the Pacific Division remains wide open. They discuss looming offseason questions around figures like Adam Foote, Auston Matthews, and Brady Tkachuk (10:30), along with the tightening playoff race in the Eastern Conference (13:30) and the growing consensus around Nikita Kucherov as the Hart Trophy favorite (17:09). Elliotte also shares why he’s keeping a close eye on Detroit (20:31), touches on Bruins prospect James Hagens signing an ATO (27:30), and reflects on a recent trip to Buffalo where Lindy Ruff is thriving in his return behind the bench (34:00). The guys also revisit goalie interference discussions following Elliotte's call with the league (51:00), and the Final Thought focuses on newly revealed PWHL player salary details (1:01:50)

Kyle and Elliotte answer listener questions in the Thoughtline (1:07:57).
