We open with the chaos of Buffalo’s wild 8–7 win over Tampa Bay, featuring terrible goaltending, tons of goals, and another massive fight. It leads into a bigger conversation about whether fighting is still essential to hockey and why Tampa chose to start their backup goalie in such an important division matchup. Around the sports world, we react to Bam Adebayo’s 83-point night and whether anyone could ever challenge Wilt Chamberlain’s legendary 100-point record. We also check in on the World Baseball Classic and the start of the Formula One season with George Russell taking the first win of 2026. Back in the NHL, we discuss winners and losers from the trade deadline, build our tiers for teams the rest of the season, and react to news around the league involving players like Nick Schmaltz, Roope Hintz, Brad Marchand, and Sidney Crosby. We also look at betting value for the NHL’s major awards, open the Panic Room on a few struggling players, and close with thoughts on the JJ Peterka deal, NCAA signings, and dynasty sleepers before wrapping up the show.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fantasy-hockey-pucks--4969980/support.Reminder to follow FHP on Instagram for plenty of other content @fantasyhockeypucks, as well on TikTok for clips of the pod @fhp_pod.Thanks for listening and we’ll catch you the next time that we drop the puck.
