Barn Burner: Boomer & Pinder with Rhett Warrener

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett break down the Metropolitan Division heading into the 2026-27 season and try to figure out how all eight teams stack up. The Carolina Hurricanes enter as the defending Stanley Cup champions and clear favourites in the division, but after that things get a lot more interesting. The guys go team-by-team through Carolina, Columbus, New Jersey, the Islanders, Rangers, Flyers, Penguins and Capitals, looking at the latest division odds, projected line combinations, major roster changes and the biggest questions facing each club. Which teams actually got better this offseason, who could surprise, who takes a step backwards and how many legitimate playoff teams are there in the Metro? From Carolina trying to run it back to New Jersey needing to finally prove its core can win, Washington looking to stay near the top and some major uncertainty in New York and Pittsburgh, the boys make their picks and predictions for how the Metropolitan Division will shake out this season.Video Link: https://youtu.be/5SDNQlyNZGw#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8📲 Follow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fnbarnburner/X (Twitter): https://x.com/barnburnerfn?lang=en🎧 Listen on:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/barn-burner-boomer-pinder-with-rhett-warrener/id1648562889Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Mc6Qd5U22R2zbMlQ7RxIiProducer: Jack Haverstock

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett dive into the ongoing Quinn Hughes situation in Minnesota as the Wild continue to wait for their superstar defenceman to sign a new contract. Bill Guerin remains confident a deal will eventually get done and communication between the two sides has reportedly been good, but with training camp right around the corner and Hughes still unsigned beyond this season, how high should the panic level be in Minnesota? The guys discuss what Hughes could be waiting for, whether the biggest sticking point is money or term, and the possibility that he eventually wants to line up his future with his brothers Jack and Luke in New Jersey. Hughes has made it clear he likes Minnesota, but the Devils speculation isn't going anywhere — especially when he continues to spend so much time around his brothers. The Wild gave up a massive package to acquire Hughes and can't afford to lose him for nothing, so at what point does this go from normal contract negotiations to a legitimate reason for Wild fans to start panicking?Video Link: https://youtu.be/SgsxhtOXfS4#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #minnesotawildCHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTShttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8📲 Follow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fnbarnburner/X (Twitter): https://x.com/barnburnerfn?lang=en🎧 Listen on:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/barn-burner-boomer-pinder-with-rhett-warrener/id1648562889Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Mc6Qd5U22R2zbMlQ7RxIiProducer: Jack Haverstock

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett preview the Boston Bruins heading into the 2026-27 season and try to figure out exactly what this team is after a surprising 100-point season and a return to the playoffs last year. Boston is still built around David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy and Jeremy Swayman, but the Bruins are also starting to build their next wave with Fraser Minten, James Hagens and the addition of JJ Peterka, who gives them another dangerous offensive weapon alongside Pasta. The guys break down whether Boston actually improved this offseason, if Swayman can follow up his bounce-back year, whether Hagens is ready to make an impact and how much Peterka changes the look of their top six. The Bruins proved a lot of people wrong last season, but in an absolutely loaded Atlantic Division, are they good enough to take another step — or are they still stuck somewhere between rebuilding and legitimately contending?Video Link: https://youtu.be/Rvz0EdfmbVo#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #bostonbruins CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8📲 Follow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fnbarnburner/X (Twitter): https://x.com/barnburnerfn?lang=en🎧 Listen on:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/barn-burner-boomer-pinder-with-rhett-warrener/id1648562889Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Mc6Qd5U22R2zbMlQ7RxIiProducer: Jack Haverstock

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett preview the Tampa Bay Lightning heading into the 2026-27 season and ask whether this veteran core still has another serious Stanley Cup run left in it. Tampa remains loaded at the top with Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Jake Guentzel, Brandon Hagel and Andrei Vasilevskiy, but after four straight first-round playoff exits, simply being great during the regular season isn’t good enough anymore. The guys break down the addition of John Carlson, Victor Hedman’s return, some of the changes around the roster and whether Tampa can finally turn another strong regular season into playoff success. The talent is obviously still there, but with this core getting older and the Atlantic looking extremely competitive, how many more chances does this version of the Lightning have to make another run at the Cup?Video Link: https://youtu.be/ZLCrEzx4uy8#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #tampabaylightning CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8📲 Follow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fnbarnburner/X (Twitter): https://x.com/barnburnerfn?lang=en🎧 Listen on:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/barn-burner-boomer-pinder-with-rhett-warrener/id1648562889Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Mc6Qd5U22R2zbMlQ7RxIiProducer: Jack Haverstock

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett preview the Buffalo Sabres heading into the 2026-27 season and ask whether last year was just the beginning for one of the NHL’s most exciting young teams. Buffalo finally snapped its 14-season playoff drought and came within one overtime goal in Game 7 of reaching the Eastern Conference Final, completely changing the expectations around this group. Now the question is whether they can take another step despite losing Alex Tuch and Bowen Byram during the offseason. The guys break down Tage Thompson and Rasmus Dahlin leading the way, the continued development of young players like Zach Benson, Josh Doan, Noah Ostlund and Konsta Helenius, and whether Buffalo has enough in net to make another legitimate playoff run. The Sabres finally proved they can win — now can they prove last season wasn’t a fluke and establish themselves as a real contender in the Atlantic?Video Link: https://youtu.be/oEIba8c742I#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #tampabaylightning CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8📲 Follow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fnbarnburner/X (Twitter): https://x.com/barnburnerfn?lang=en🎧 Listen on:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/barn-burner-boomer-pinder-with-rhett-warrener/id1648562889Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Mc6Qd5U22R2zbMlQ7RxIiProducer: Jack Haverstock

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett preview the Florida Panthers heading into the new season and try to figure out just how dangerous this team could be after a disappointing down year. Despite taking a step back last season, Florida enters the year projected to be one of the best teams in the Atlantic Division, and they made some major additions to help get themselves back into Stanley Cup contention. The guys break down the Panthers adding Brady Tkachuk and Jacob Markstrom, what those moves could mean for an already talented roster, and whether Florida is ready to bounce right back to the top of the Eastern Conference. Was last season simply an off year for the Panthers, or are we about to see Florida become one of the NHL’s biggest problems again?Video Link: https://youtu.be/JHmZ2j29fLk#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #floridapanthers CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8📲 Follow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fnbarnburner/X (Twitter): https://x.com/barnburnerfn?lang=en🎧 Listen on:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/barn-burner-boomer-pinder-with-rhett-warrener/id1648562889Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Mc6Qd5U22R2zbMlQ7RxIiProducer: Jack Haverstock

For the third time this week, Pinder, Rhett and Boomer find themselves right back in another Jonathan Huberdeau conversation — and this time Rhett has a pretty strong opinion on what the Calgary Flames should do next. After everything that has happened during Huberdeau’s disappointing tenure in Calgary, Rhett believes he should never play another game for the Flames, while Pinder is taking a much more patient approach and wants to see what Huberdeau looks like once he’s fully recovered from hip surgery. The guys debate whether there’s still any path for Huberdeau to turn things around in Calgary, how much his health has impacted his game, and whether the Flames eventually need to find a way to move on. It’s been an incredibly difficult few years for Huberdeau since arriving in Calgary, but is this really the end of the road — or does he deserve one more opportunity to prove there’s still something left?Video Link: https://youtu.be/-bpoUQCqdb0#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #calgaryflames CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8📲 Follow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fnbarnburner/X (Twitter): https://x.com/barnburnerfn?lang=en🎧 Listen on:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/barn-burner-boomer-pinder-with-rhett-warrener/id1648562889Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Mc6Qd5U22R2zbMlQ7RxIiProducer: Jack Haverstock
