What happened in Game 3 between the Carolina Hurricanes and Philadelphia Flyers?

Elliotte Friedman 0:00
You know, the next round, by the way, in Buffalo, there would be the combine if Montreal wins Grand Prix.
Unknown 0:09
Oh, that's right.
Elliotte Friedman 0:11
You're going to be staying in a hotel in Windsor for those games in Montreal.
Unknown 0:16
In Montreal. That's right.
Elliotte Friedman 0:22
That's right. We've got you in the suburb. Oh, yes. Which suburb? The suburb of Windsor. Like Nova Scotia or Ontario? Oh, it's Ontario.
Kyle Bukauskas 0:35
Welcome to 32 Thoughts, the podcast presented by your Canadian Toyota dealers and the 2026 Tacoma. Get yours before red tag days are over.

What is John Chayka's upcoming meeting with Leafs Head Coach about?

Kyle Bukauskas 0:44
Another Stanley Cup playoff edition for you. Dom, Elliot, and Kyle, the gang is all here. Thoughtline is back this episode. You'll hear... At the end of the podcast, a conversation with Elliot, Josh Doan of the Sabres, and his father, Shane. But first, before we get to all of that, Preach, one game on the calendar on Thursday night. And I was kind of thinking about that one cutaway clip from Family Guy when Peter goes skydiving.
Unknown 1:13
First time?

What updates are there on the Vancouver Canucks' front office search?

Unknown 1:14
Yeah, you? Yeah. No, no, not my first time.
Kyle Bukauskas 1:18
I wonder if that's a conversation to be had between the Senators and the Flyers right now.

What is the latest news regarding Nashville's front office search?

Kyle Bukauskas 1:24
Seven straight wins to open the Stanley Cup playoffs for the Carolina Hurricanes. And I don't think any of us during the regular season were looking at the Metro Division as as a juggernaut per se, but it had been clear almost wire to wire that the Hurricanes stood above the rest through 82 games. That hasn't changed through the playoffs. You cannot pick your opponents, but the Hurricanes have taken care of their own business on the verge of a second consecutive sweep to begin their playoff run.
Elliotte Friedman 1:57
It's kind of wild how, in theory, Carolina could be through to the Stanley Cup semifinals on Saturday and Montreal and Buffalo might only be two games in.

How do Kyle and Elliotte handle listener questions in the Thoughtline?

Elliotte Friedman 2:12
Yes, their eventual opponent, one of them. Just bananas. By the way, there's another juggernaut this round, Kyle. Oh, yeah? Yeah, I want to read you a text I got that I woke up to on Thursday morning. It said, Stroma's legit, might take your job. He should quit now and transition to the panel. Did that come from Kevin? No, it did not, but it certainly could have. It came from a retired player who's now in a management position. I woke up to that text on Thursday morning here in Buffalo. No, Ryan signed off after the game. He did a great job. Fantastic. No surprise. Anybody who knows him, no surprise that he was as good as he was. That shorthanded goal, Chatfield, what a backbreaker, Kyle. What a backbreaker.
Kyle Bukauskas 3:23
That was where the game was in the balance and was no longer after that moment in my mind.
Elliotte Friedman 3:28
I agree.

What were the highlights from the Sabres vs. Canadiens game?

Elliotte Friedman 3:29
1-1 game. The Flyers' penalty kill, one of the worst all year. I think it's something like 3-for-30 in the playoffs. The true Achilles heel of the team. And to give up that goal at that time was just a killer. That was shorthanded. Yes, absolute killer, absolute killer. And you mentioned Ottawa, you know, first time. No, not my first time. It's almost the exact same series. I never think this is about lack of effort. I thought Ottawa competed hard.

What insights were shared during the interview with Shane and Josh Doan?

Elliotte Friedman 4:04
I thought Philadelphia was competing hard. Just in every game, especially with Anderson continuing to be an absolute wall back there, Carolina just always finds a way to be a little bit better. Who makes the big play at the big time? Chatfield. It's been like that for Carolina all the way through. They bend, but they don't break. They continue doing what they do, and this was another example of it on Thursday night in game number three. It's a Herculean task for Philadelphia. You know, one of the things I wonder about the Flyers is this whole league right now is going to have cap room. And I look at Philly, and I see a lot of guys who really improved this year. Drysdale really improved this year. Zegras really improved this year.
Elliotte Friedman 5:07
The Mishkov thing, that's a story for another day. We'll deal with that when and if their season ends, and we'll talk about that. But one of the things the league did this week, Kyle, was they officially announced with the Players Association the payroll range for next year. And we know that the salary cap is going to be $104 million.
