•
Canada punches its ticket to the gold medal game with a 3–2 win over Finland at the 2026 Milan Games, and Jeff Marek and Greg Wyshynski waste zero time diving into the flashpoint moments, the officiating chatter, and the fine line between drawing a call and embellishment. They break down Finland sitting on the lead, Jordan Binnington’s biggest stops, Nathan MacKinnon’s late heroics, and what Canada’s third period puck management says about this group heading into the final. Plus, Tyler Yaremchuk joins with thoughts on the lineup, the Sidney Crosby availability storyline, and how a potential USA matchup changes everything, then the show turns to USA vs Slovakia and the pressure of embracing favorite status.

Then, Michael Russo joins the show to dive into the latest surrounding Quinn Hughes, his contract situation and his future with the Minnesota Wild. What could a Quinn Hughes extension look like?
