10 Years Later: Matthews vs. Laine Debate Seems Wild
Season 2, Episode 17
Show notes
On Monday night, it was Gavin McKenna vs. Ivar Stenberg, a battle of the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the 2026 NHL Draft. That also occurred 10 years to the day after the debate that raged on at the time between No. 1 Auston Matthews and No. 2 Patrik Laine, when what appeared to be the second coming of the Finnish Flash scored three goals to lead a come-from-behind Winnipeg win. How times have changed? A decade later, Laine is out of the league. Frank Seravalli and John Buccigross also discuss the Rangers' hot start at the Garden and any potential concern for Mathew Barzal's lingering injury on the Island.
