Checking From Behind

In this episode, we break down a massive night in the NHL — starting with Connor McDavid making more history, becoming one of the fastest players ever to hit 400 goals and 1,200 points. We also cover the latest injury news, with Thomas Chabot expected to miss 4–8 weeks after undergoing surgery. From there, we dive into a heated conversation about the NHL’s controversial loser point and what the league should do to fix overtime once and for all. Next, we reveal our Dream 2026 NHL Playoff Matchups, including the series we’re dying to see… and the ones we absolutely don’t want. Tampa vs Columbus? Buffalo vs Montreal? Islanders vs Penguins? Edmonton vs Vegas? We break it all down. To wrap things up, we hit the Eastern Conference Wild Card race and the Western Conference Wild Card race, looking at who’s surging, who’s slipping, and which teams control their own destiny.  🔊 New episodes drop every Sunday & Thursday @ 7 PM EST 🔥  🎧 Stay locked in for the hottest takes, bold predictions, and real talk from around the NHL.  🔥 Follow Us on Social Media:  ▶ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@checkfrombehindpod?lang=en  ▶ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/checkfrombehind/  ▶ X (Twitter) | https://x.com/CheckFromBehind  ▶ Twitch | https://www.twitch.tv/checkingfrombehind  📧 Email | checkfrombehindzcp@gmail.com  🎙️ Presented by The Hockey Podcast Network  💰 Sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook – The official sports betting partner of THPN: Spend just $5 you get $200 in bonus bets SIGN UP HERE: https://tinyurl.com/DKSIGNUP25  💥 Powered by DUBBY — Fuel your game at https://www.dubby.gg/ and use code CFBPOD to save 10% on your entire order.  (00:00:00) Introduction  (00:03:41) McDavid Reaches Milestone  (00:11:39) Chabot Expected To Miss 4-8 Weeks (00:15:44) Loser Point Convo (00:32:07) Playoff matchups We Need To See  (00:42:06) Playoff Matchups We Do NOT Want  (00:51:34) East playoff race  (00:58:30) West Wild Card Update  (01:04:15) Outro Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The NHL has a serious accountability problem — and the GMs are fed up. In this episode of Checking From Behind, we break down everything that went down at the NHL GM meetings, where tensions boiled over around goaltender interference and player safety. GMs are frustrated, Bettman is on the defensive, and players are being left unprotected. We then dive into the AJ Greer hit on Connor Zary and ask the question everyone is thinking — does the Department of Player Safety need serious changes? A phone hearing for that hit? Really? Plus, the Colorado Avalanche become the first team to clinch a playoff spot, and Nathan MacKinnon weighs in on whether the NHL should bring back 5v5 overtime in the regular season. Spoiler: he's not a fan. Connor McDavid called the Pacific Division a "pillow fight" — we react and take a full look at both the East and West wild card races heading into the week. And to close things out, we go through some proposed NHL rule changes making the rounds on social media. Are any of them actually good ideas?  🔊 New episodes drop every Sunday & Thursday @ 7 PM EST 🔥  🎧 Stay locked in for the hottest takes, bold predictions, and real talk from around the NHL.  🔥 Follow Us on Social Media:  ▶ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@checkfrombehindpod?lang=en  ▶ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/checkfrombehind/  ▶ X (Twitter) | https://x.com/CheckFromBehind  ▶ Twitch | https://www.twitch.tv/checkingfrombehind  📧 Email | checkfrombehindzcp@gmail.com  🎙️ Presented by The Hockey Podcast Network  💰 Sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook – The official sports betting partner of THPN: Spend just $5 you get $200 in bonus bets SIGN UP HERE: https://tinyurl.com/DKSIGNUP25 💥  Powered by DUBBY — Fuel your game at https://www.dubby.gg/ and use code CFBPOD to save 10% on your entire order.  (00:00:00) Intro  (00:07:18) GM Meetings Got Heated  (00:11:03) DOPS Issues  (00:20:48) Avs Clinch Playoff Spot  (00:24:56) 5v5 OT In Reg Szn??  (00:33:17) Playoff Races  (00:38:17) Pacific Division  (00:52:15) NHL Rule Changes Proposed  (01:04:36) Outro Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are FALLING APART. Auston Matthews tore his MCL on a leg-to-leg hit from Radko Gudas — and not a single Maple Leaf did anything about it.
