On this episode of the PFH Podcast, the Carolina Hurricanes have finally claimed the Stanley Cup! After years of knocking on the door, the Canes have defeated the Vegas Golden Knights in 6 games, winning their first Cup in the analytics era. We start the podcast talking about all angles of the Finals that were and the outlook for both teams in the near future. After that, we pivot into coverage of all of the updates around the Dylan Larkin trade request, adding more context and a bit more calmness to contrast the fiery reactions from Episode 34. Ladies and gentlemen: we are officially in the offseason. Thanks for listening!

At long last, the much-anticipated (i.e. delayed) season-in-review episode has arrived! Not wanting to settle for boring player grades or tiermakers, the team at PFH Labs cooked up a new recipe: a Red Wings-only draft! Jambi, the Mexinadian, and Diddums each take turns drafting a one-line team composed entirely of players who finished their season with the 2025-26 Detroit Red Wings. We all went the distance on this one, so strap in and enjoy! Please note this was recorded before the Larkin news. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the first-ever emergency episode of the PFH Podcast. Sadly, it is for a worst-case scenario: Dylan Larkin, the Captain of the Detroit Red Wings, has requested a trade per reports. In this show, we talk about this news with the future of the team in mind, but also take some time to put ourselves in the shoes of Dylan Larkin and understand why he might have made this decision. We also spend some time at the end going over potential trade partners who have tempting assets if Larkin is, in fact, traded per that request. I hope this isn't as hard to listen to as it was to record. In any case, thank you for listening.

PFH Podcast - Episode 33 - Cup Finals Eve (After Dark)

On this edition of the PFH podcast, Jack riffs an "After Dark" episode while we eagerly await Game 1 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals. In light of the somber news of Claude Lemieux's passing, it starts with a memoriam of his life and his impact on the game, both as one of its greatest heels and greatest advocates. Then, some closing thoughts on the Griffins season and the performance of Michael Brandsegg-Nygard from the AHL playoffs to the IIHF World Championships, before finally turning our focus on the conference championship series that were and the Stanley Cup Finals series that shall be. Thank you for listening!

On this week's episode of the PFH podcast, we do a brief recap of the Grand Rapids Griffins playoff series against the Manitoba Moose before diving into the biggest storyline of that series: Michal Postava as the starter, and Sebastian Cossa as the backup.
