Author: Locked On Podcast Network August 25, 2026 Duration: 35:37
Edmonton Oilers face mounting Stanley Cup expectations with Mike Babcock at the helm. Can Babcock’s controversial coaching style unlock Connor McDavid’s full potential, or will goaltending woes remain the club’s Achilles’ heel? Seth Toupal and JD Young debate whether Frederik Andersen, Devin Levi, and key roster moves are enough to push Edmonton past Vegas in the Pacific Division and finally claim hockey’s top prize. The hosts also break down the Washington Capitals’ bold moves in what could be Alex Ovechkin’s last real shot at a Cup, dissecting the additions of Jordan Kyrou and Pierre-Luc Dubois. Turning east, they question whether the Philadelphia Flyers’ gritty formula can keep them playoff-bound without a true number one center.
