Oilers, Miller, Blackhawks, and more ft. Greg Wyshynski & Tyler Johnson | The Sheet with Jeff Marek

Jeff Marek and Greg Wyshynski deliver a packed episode of The Sheet, starting with the wild week around the New York Rangers and the viral J.T. Miller clip that had the hockey world talking. They dig into the Rangers’ captaincy dynamics, the fallout from Sean Avery’s breakdown, and whether this roster shakeup traces back to Chris Drury’s decisions. The guys also get into the Columbus Blue Jackets becoming a national talking point after Bill Simmons called them “the most irrelevant team in sports,” before comparing Blue Jackets history, the cannon, and whether casual fans underrate the franchise. From there, they break down the ongoing Edmonton Oilers crisis — Ryan Leonard beating Evan Bouchard wide, Stuart Skinner freezing on a backhand, and why the entire team feels stuck waiting for McDavid and Draisaitl to bail them out. They move into the goaltending future of the Western Conference, touching on Dustin Wolf, Spencer Knight, Askarov, Dostal and the next era of elite NHL netminders.

At 1:30 ET, Tyler Johnson joins the show to talk about Bedard’s growth in Chicago, how Jeff Blashill has changed the Hawks’ structure, and what it’s like watching young players handle losing. Johnson also breaks down Nikita Kucherov’s real personality behind the scenes, the truth behind his elite hockey IQ, how the ADR neck surgery changed his life, and why Jack Eichel paved the way for other players to avoid fusion. He reflects on his biggest goals with Tampa Bay, the infamous sweep against Columbus, Tampa’s need to evolve defensively, and shares insight on Steven Stamkos’ transition to Nashville. A full episode loaded with stories, deep-cut analysis, and candid conversations from two of the best minds in hockey.
