The Next Ninety One

In this edition of 32 Thoughts, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman open with the red-hot Anaheim Ducks, their seven straight wins, and a new challenge ahead: paying Leo Carlsson. The guys discuss the clear power imbalance between conferences and break down Colorado’s 9-1 demolition of Edmonton, asking when it’s time to truly worry about the Oilers (9:30). They touch on Toronto’s scoring prowess contrasted by their leaky defense and goaltending issues, plus an update on David Kämpf (24:33). Elliotte revisits the Blues’ brutal loss to Seattle and whether Doug Armstrong might go back to his familiar “holiday sale” playbook (40:52). The segment wraps with fallout from the U.S. government shutdown’s impact on NHL travel (46:52) and a Final Thought on the uncertainty around designated 19-year-olds in the AHL (48:55). 

Kyle and Elliotte answer your emails and voicemails in the Thoughtline (57:25).
