    01:13:15|
    Today on The Sheet, Jeff Marek is joined by Brian Burke to wrap up the NHL regular season and look ahead to what promises to be a thrilling playoff run. They begin with a historic milestone as Macklin Celebrini hits 115 points, setting a new single-season record for the San Jose Sharks, surpassing Joe Thornton. Marek and Burke break down what Celebrini’s season means for the Sharks’ future before shifting their focus to the playoffs — highlighting the most exciting matchups, the storylines to watch, and which series could steal the spotlight in round one. They also dig into the Toronto Maple Leafs’ search for a new president and general manager, discussing how the organization may reshape its leadership heading into a critical offseason.Later in the show, David Pagnotta joins Jeff to report on the Leafs exploring a potential front-office role for Mats Sundin, as well as the fallout from locker clean-out day — including Auston Matthews’ comments about the future and William Nylander’s quick 92-second availability. Pagnotta details who Toronto has interviewed so far and which candidates the organization appears to be leaning toward. The conversation then shifts around the league with reaction to the New Jersey Devils hiring Sunny Mehta as GM, what the next phase of their build could look like, and the Vancouver Canucks’ decision to move on from Patrick Allvin.#TheSheet #NHL #StanleyCupPlayoffs #MacklinCelebrini #SanJoseSharks #LeafsForever #TorontoMapleLeafs #MatsSundin #AustonMatthews #WilliamNylander #BrianBurke #DavidPagnotta #NJDevils #VancouverCanucks #HockeyLeave a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/TheSheetEmail us: thesheet@thenationnetwork.comSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Fan Duel: https://www.fanduel.com/👍🏼 Ninja: https://www.sharkninja.ca/ninja-crispi-pro-6-in-1-countertop-glass-air-fryer-rose-quartz/AS101CRS.html?utm_source=Meta&utm_medium=Paid+Social&utm_campaign=H1NinjaCrispi&utm_content=NinjaEN&dwvar_AS101CRS_color=cdb9b8Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!If you liked this, check out:🚨 OTT - Coming in Hot Sens | https://www.youtube.com/c/thewallyandmethotshow🚨 TOR - LeafsNation | https://www.youtube.com/@theleafsnation401🚨 EDM - OilersNation | https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom🚨 VAN - CanucksArmy | https://www.youtube.com/@Canucks_Army🚨 CGY - FlamesNation | https://www.youtube.com/@FNBarnBurner🚨 Daily Faceoff Fantasy & Betting | www.youtube.com/@DFOFantasyandBetting____________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with us on ⬇️Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/daily_faceoff💻 Website: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com🐦 Follow on twitter: https://x.com/DailyFaceoff💻 Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dailyfaceoffDaily Faceoff Merch:https://nationgear.ca/collections/daily-faceoffReach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!

  • Cole Caufield Notches 50 Goals ft. Marco D'Amico

    52:03|
    Jeff Marek is joined by Marco D'Amico on today’s episode of The Sheet to break down a historic night for Cole Caufield. Caufield reaches the 50-goal mark, becoming the first player for the Montreal Canadiens to score 50 in a season since Stephane Richer did it back in the 1989-90 season, a milestone that further cements Caufield as one of the league’s premier young goal scorers.

From Caufield’s historic accomplishment to the Canadiens’ playoff hopes, the guys also examine what lies ahead for Montreal and how a potential first-round matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning could shape up if the Canadiens secure a postseason berth.#TheSheet #JeffMarek #MarcoDAmico #MontrealCanadiens #GoHabsGo #ColeCaufield #NickSuzuki #JurajSlafkovsky #LaneHutson #NHL #StanleyCupPlayoffs #TampaBayLightning #Hockey #DailyFaceoffLeave a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/TheSheetEmail us: thesheet@thenationnetwork.comSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Fan Duel: https://www.fanduel.com/👍🏼 Ninja: https://www.sharkninja.ca/ninja-crispi-pro-6-in-1-countertop-glass-air-fryer-rose-quartz/AS101CRS.html?utm_source=Meta&utm_medium=Paid+Social&utm_campaign=H1NinjaCrispi&utm_content=NinjaEN&dwvar_AS101CRS_color=cdb9b8Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!If you liked this, check out:🚨 OTT - Coming in Hot Sens | https://www.youtube.com/c/thewallyandmethotshow🚨 TOR - LeafsNation | https://www.youtube.com/@theleafsnation401🚨 EDM - OilersNation | https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom🚨 VAN - CanucksArmy | https://www.youtube.com/@Canucks_Army🚨 CGY - FlamesNation | https://www.youtube.com/@FNBarnBurner🚨 Daily Faceoff Fantasy & Betting | www.youtube.com/@DFOFantasyandBetting____________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with us on ⬇️Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/daily_faceoff💻 Website: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com🐦 Follow on twitter: https://x.com/DailyFaceoff💻 Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dailyfaceoffDaily Faceoff Merch:https://nationgear.ca/collections/daily-faceoffReach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!
