In this edition of 32 Thoughts, Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman begin with Jaromir Jagr's jersey retirement night in Pittsburgh. They cover everything from his speech, warmups, the ceremony, and Jagr’s (still active) illustrious career. Then, the fellas circle back to the NHL's Stadium Series in New Jersey as they highlight a hugely successful weekend for the league and outdoor games in general. (14:19). Elliotte touches on the Islanders being awarded the 2026 NHL All-Star Game (22:00) and the NHL potentially borrowing an idea from how the NBA hands out their awards (23:30), which turns into a conversation about whether Auston Matthews will win himself the Hart Trophy this year (26:39). Jeff and Elliotte then delve into the "Tanefin" (Tanev + Hanifin) sweepstakes out of Calgary (28:48) and Elliotte gets into just how much of a juggernaut the Florida Panthers have turned into (35:42). The guys continue with their weekly check-in with Sean Walker's future in Philadelphia (39:47) and Elliotte also mentions that the Oilers want to add, but not in net (42:45). Jeff and Elliotte close out the opening segment with a Andrew Brunette story out of Nashville (45:17).
The guys answer your questions in the Montana’s Thought Line (55:23) and sit down with Winnipeg Jets Kyle Connor and Connor Hellebuyck (1:14:13).
