The Sheet with Jeff Marek

• On the Sheet: Shayna Goldman on Olympic Ice, Quinn Hughes, and more

  Shayna Goldman joins the show with a sharp breakdown of why Quinn Hughes has become the NHL’s most delicate front-office decision point and why any New Jersey–Vancouver conversation has to start at a true MVP valuation, not a feel-good family storyline. She digs into how the league overcorrected from the classic “200-foot” label to now facing a real Olympic-ice identity crisis with the 197-foot wrinkle in Milan, and what that means for player roles, roster construction, and coaching language. From right-shot depth in New Jersey to Vancouver’s fear of committing long-term without progress, Shayna explains the market mechanics, the risk of rushing a deal, and why every contender should at least be kicking tires when a defenseman of Hughes’ tier even becomes theoretically available. Smart, blunt, and context-rich, her segment cuts through rumor noise and gets into actual leverage and design.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Fan Duel: https://www.fanduel.com/👍🏼Bauer: https://www.bauer.com/👍🏼Uber Eats: https://www.ubereats.com/caReach out to [email protected] to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!If you liked this, check out:🚨 OTT - Coming in Hot Sens | https://www.youtube.com/c/thewallyandmethotshow🚨 TOR - LeafsNation | https://www.youtube.com/@theleafsnation401🚨 EDM - OilersNation | https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom🚨 VAN - CanucksArmy | https://www.youtube.com/@Canucks_Army🚨 CGY - FlamesNation | https://www.youtube.com/@FNBarnBurner🚨 Daily Faceoff Fantasy & Betting | www.youtube.com/@DFOFantasyandBetting____________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with us on ⬇️Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/daily_faceoff💻 Website: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com🐦 Follow on twitter: https://x.com/DailyFaceoff💻 Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dailyfaceoffDaily Faceoff Merch:https://nationgear.ca/collections/daily-faceoff Hosted on Acast.

• On the Sheet: Jeff Paterson on Quinn Hughes and the Canucks Future

  Jeff Paterson joins live from Vancouver with a clear, level read on the Quinn Hughes situation, stripping away rumor momentum and getting to what actually matters for the Canucks. He explains why this feels like the most consequential inflection point the organization has faced in a decade, how the “Fitzy” moment amplified speculation, and why Vancouver simply cannot afford to miss on the return if a deal ever materializes. Jeff outlines the front-office tension between an ownership group resistant to a full teardown and a fan base ready for one, while also highlighting why New Jersey’s right-shot depth shapes both the leverage and timing. With Demko’s form, Pettersson’s uncertainty, and the standings reality colliding all at once, he makes the case that this is no longer just a trade conversation — it’s a direction-of-franchise verdict.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Fan Duel: https://www.fanduel.com/👍🏼Bauer: https://www.bauer.com/👍🏼Uber Eats: https://www.ubereats.com/caReach out to [email protected] to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!If you liked this, check out:🚨 OTT - Coming in Hot Sens | https://www.youtube.com/c/thewallyandmethotshow🚨 TOR - LeafsNation | https://www.youtube.com/@theleafsnation401🚨 EDM - OilersNation | https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom🚨 VAN - CanucksArmy | https://www.youtube.com/@Canucks_Army🚨 CGY - FlamesNation | https://www.youtube.com/@FNBarnBurner🚨 Daily Faceoff Fantasy & Betting | www.youtube.com/@DFOFantasyandBetting____________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with us on ⬇️Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/daily_faceoff💻 Website: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com🐦 Follow on twitter: https://x.com/DailyFaceoff💻 Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dailyfaceoffDaily Faceoff Merch:https://nationgear.ca/collections/daily-faceoff Hosted on Acast.

• Quinn Hughes Problem, Outdoor Rinks, and More ft. Shayna Goldman & Jeff Paterson

  The Quinn Hughes temperature is officially boiling. On today’s edition of The Sheet, Jeff Marek breaks down how a single casual “Fitzy” reference ignited the biggest league-wide conversation of the week, and why the New Jersey–Vancouver axis suddenly feels less like speculation and more like strategic inevitability. Shana Goldman joins to explain the true market cost of moving an MVP-caliber defenseman, how right-shot depth in New Jersey complicates any negotiation, and why Vancouver must get this decision absolutely perfect if they ever expect to stabilize their franchise identity. From the death of the classic “200-foot” label to the looming 197-foot Olympic rink wrinkle, Milan’s ice drama becomes a real roster-building variable, not just a headline. Jeff Patterson checks in live from Vancouver to outline front-office tension, fan appetite for a full teardown, and why this moment feels like the clearest organizational fork in the road they’ve had in a decade. Smart, blunt, detailed, and loaded with context — this episode gets past rumor noise and into what actually matters.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Fan Duel: https://www.fanduel.com/👍🏼Bauer: https://www.bauer.com/👍🏼Uber Eats: https://www.ubereats.com/caReach out to [email protected] to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!If you liked this, check out:🚨 OTT - Coming in Hot Sens | https://www.youtube.com/c/thewallyandmethotshow🚨 TOR - LeafsNation | https://www.youtube.com/@theleafsnation401🚨 EDM - OilersNation | https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom🚨 VAN - CanucksArmy | https://www.youtube.com/@Canucks_Army🚨 CGY - FlamesNation | https://www.youtube.com/@FNBarnBurner🚨 Daily Faceoff Fantasy & Betting | www.youtube.com/@DFOFantasyandBetting____________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with us on ⬇️Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/daily_faceoff💻 Website: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com🐦 Follow on twitter: https://x.com/DailyFaceoff💻 Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dailyfaceoffDaily Faceoff Merch:https://nationgear.ca/collections/daily-faceoff Hosted on Acast.

• On the Sheet: Andy Strickland on Blues’ Identity Crisis, Injuries & Western Pressures

  Jeff Marek welcomes Andy Strickland to break down where exactly the St. Louis Blues go from here after a bruising week of injuries, schedule congestion, and a roster that hasn’t rediscovered the identity it flashed late last season. Strickland outlines how the condensed calendar has directly contributed to wear-and-tear absences — including the loss of key fourth-line tone-setters like Nathan Walker — and why St. Louis suddenly lacks the physical edge it once relied on. He also explains why the Blues’ situation feels closer to organizational shock than routine adversity, given they returned virtually the entire roster from the year they pushed Winnipeg to seven. With major clubs accelerating deadline timelines due to LTIR rules and the Olympic break pause, Strickland details where St. Louis fits in a Western arms race and why competitive restoration may require harder internal choices than expected.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Fan Duel: https://www.fanduel.com/👍🏼Bauer: https://www.bauer.com/👍🏼Uber Eats: https://www.ubereats.com/ca👍🏼Prime Video: https://primevideo-row.pxf.io/c/5560083/3303015/20020Reach out to [email protected] to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!If you liked this, check out:🚨 OTT - Coming in Hot Sens | https://www.youtube.com/c/thewallyandmethotshow🚨 TOR - LeafsNation | https://www.youtube.com/@theleafsnation401🚨 EDM - OilersNation | https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom🚨 VAN - CanucksArmy | https://www.youtube.com/@Canucks_Army🚨 CGY - FlamesNation | https://www.youtube.com/@FNBarnBurner🚨 Daily Faceoff Fantasy & Betting | www.youtube.com/@DFOFantasyandBetting____________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with us on ⬇️Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/daily_faceoff💻 Website: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com🐦 Follow on twitter: https://x.com/DailyFaceoff💻 Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dailyfaceoffDaily Faceoff Merch:https://nationgear.ca/collections/daily-faceoff Hosted on Acast.

• On the Sheet: Caleb Malhotra

  Jeff Marek sits down with rising 2026 draft prospect Caleb Malhotra of the Brantford Bulldogs for a rare look into one of junior hockey’s most intriguing development stories. Malhotra explains how growing up with Manny Malhotra as his father shaped his habits, discipline, and understanding of the pro ecosystem, from locker-room exposure in Vancouver to video sessions and daily structure. He details the mental grind of last season’s injuries, watching peers jump to the CHL while he stayed committed, and why blocking out rankings noise is now part of his process. Caleb also reflects on sharing a room with future NHLers, learning under coach Jay McKee — a former NHL warrior with a path back to the big leagues — and how Brantford’s “all-in” roster construction fuels Memorial Cup expectations. For a player widely considered a top-five riser in the 2026 class, Malhotra’s maturity and readiness echo exactly what second-generation pedigree looks like when the fundamentals are taught, not forced.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Fan Duel: https://www.fanduel.com/👍🏼Bauer: https://www.bauer.com/👍🏼Uber Eats: https://www.ubereats.com/ca👍🏼Prime Video: https://primevideo-row.pxf.io/c/5560083/3303015/20020Reach out to [email protected] to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!If you liked this, check out:🚨 OTT - Coming in Hot Sens | https://www.youtube.com/c/thewallyandmethotshow🚨 TOR - LeafsNation | https://www.youtube.com/@theleafsnation401🚨 EDM - OilersNation | https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom🚨 VAN - CanucksArmy | https://www.youtube.com/@Canucks_Army🚨 CGY - FlamesNation | https://www.youtube.com/@FNBarnBurner🚨 Daily Faceoff Fantasy & Betting | www.youtube.com/@DFOFantasyandBetting____________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with us on ⬇️Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/daily_faceoff💻 Website: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com🐦 Follow on twitter: https://x.com/DailyFaceoff💻 Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dailyfaceoffDaily Faceoff Merch:https://nationgear.ca/collections/daily-faceoff Hosted on Acast.
