We’ve got a shorter episode today, but we jump right into the chaos around the NHL. We start with Game 7 between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens — a wild finish where Montreal advanced despite recording only nine shots on goal. One of the strangest elimination wins you’ll ever see. Next, we break down the Toronto Maple Leafs hiring John Chayka as their new general manager and what this move means for a franchise that continues to spiral. From front‑office decisions to on‑ice results, the Leafs look like they’re heading straight down the drain. We wrap things up with a full look at Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, touching on every series so far and how each matchup is shaping up. 🔊 New episodes drop every Sunday & Thursday @ 7 PM EST 🔥 🎧 Stay locked in for the hottest takes, bold predictions, and real talk from around the NHL. 🔥 Follow Us on Social Media: ▶ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@checkfrombehindpod?lang=en ▶ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/checkfrombehind/ ▶ X (Twitter) | https://x.com/CheckFromBehind ▶ Twitch | https://www.twitch.tv/checkingfrombehind 📧 Email | checkfrombehindzcp@gmail.com 🎙️ Presented by The Hockey Podcast Network 💰 Sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook – The official sports betting partner of THPN: Spend just $5 you get $200 in bonus bets SIGN UP HERE: https://tinyurl.com/DKSIGNUP25 💥 Powered by DUBBY — Fuel your game at https://www.dubby.gg/ and use code CFBPOD to save 10% on your entire order. 00:00 Introduction 01:46 Mtl/Tbl Game 7 11:00 Leafs Talk 21:25 2nd RD Underway 37:30 Outro
Draft lottery drama leaves Calgary Flames fans frustrated as the team secures the sixth overall pick, fueling skepticism about lottery luck and the NHL’s drawn-out TV spectacle. Is this latest setback a missed opportunity for a true rebuild, or can GM Craig Conroy’s “best player available” approach still deliver a franchise-altering talent? We examine the Flames’ shifting draft strategy, the potential pool of top prospects, including names like Matvei Gridin, Zayne Parekh, and Cole Reschny, and what Theo Stockselius’ signing means for Calgary’s future at center. Plus, relive the iconic 1986 playoff win over the Edmonton Oilers and discover why Flames origin stories still resonate four decades later. Can Calgary overcome its draft lottery curse and build a contender with smart picks and a deepening prospect pipeline?

Brought to you by: Dugout Mugs www.dugoutmugs.com and Pera Travelers Travel Agency @PeraTravelers @DugoutMugsOfficial @Athletics @braves @SFGiants @BravesCountry @bestathleticshighlights @YOMIURI_GIANTS The Sinkerball King: Why Tim Hudson is the Ultimate #15 Pitcher ⚾ Was Tim Hudson the most consistent pitcher of the 21st century? While other aces relied on pure velocity, Hudson used a devastating sinker and elite command to dismantle lineups for nearly two decades. Wearing the Number 15, he became a foundational piece of the Oakland Athletics "Moneyball" era, a mainstay for the Atlanta Braves, and finally, a World Series Champion with the San Francisco Giants. In this video, we break down the career of "Huddy," a man who finished his career with more wins than many Hall of Famers. From his dominant years in the East Bay to his veteran leadership in the Bay Area, we’re making the case for why Tim Hudson is the gold standard for the #15 jersey on the mound. Why Tim Hudson is a Tier-1 Legend: The Oakland "Big Three": We revisit his time with Mark Mulder and Barry Zito, where Hudson served as the staff ace, posting a .702 winning percentage with the A's. 222 Career Wins: A look at his place on the all-time wins list, ranking as one of the most successful right-handers of his generation. The 2014 World Series: We analyze his final act in San Francisco, where he provided the veteran stability needed to help the Giants secure their third title in five years. 4-Time All-Star: From the American League to the National League, Hudson remained an elite threat, earning All-Star nods with three different franchises. The Art of the Sinker: A deep dive into his pitching style and how he maintained a high ground-ball rate to navigate the steroid era with elite efficiency. Join the Baseball History Squad! We are on a mission to rank the greatest players for every iconic jersey number. From the ground-ball masters of the #15 to the power hitters of the #44, we bring you the deep-dives and stats that true fans crave.

Does Tim Hudson’s 222 wins make him a Hall of Famer? Which rotation was he most iconic in: Oakland or Atlanta? Who is your favorite #15: Tim Hudson, Thurman Munson, or Jim Edmonds?

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to discuss how the draft lottery turned out, where the Panthers had the 8th best lottery odds, and dropped down a spot where the Toronto Maple Leafs won the draft lottery to get the number one overall pick, and the San Jose Sharks getting the second pick, where they jumped the Cats. We discuss the times where the Panthers have dropped in their lottery position and the times where they have jumped up both happening three times since 2000. Sometimes it's worked out for the Panthers where they dropped a spot and they drafted a reliable player, and were able to get all the way to one, and got a franchise player. Bill Zito has something that he hasn't had since his first draft in 2020, picks by volume. We discuss how the Cats front office has a great opportunity to wheel, but also allow the draft board to come to them as they are in need of restocking the farm.
