32 Thoughts: The Podcast1 Dec 2025

Gear We Go Again

In this episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman begins with dedications to Kevin Dineen and Carla MacLeod following their cancer diagnoses. Kyle unpacks Matthews and McDavid’s surprising equipment switches (5:00). They break down Auston Matthews snapping his goal drought in a 7–2 win over the Penguins (10:00) and debate who should claim the final two spots on Canada’s Olympic roster (23:27). The guys revisit the growing Ducks–Blackhawks rivalry (25:59), the questionable calls involving Bedard and Quinn Hughes, and why younger NHL stars need more leeway from officials (28:41). They hit on Mike Matheson’s new five-year deal in Montreal and the shrinking defence UFA class (34:13), Edmonton’s stance on upgrading from Stuart Skinner (43:03), Doug Armstrong’s aggressive work in St. Louis (47:22), and an incredible play from Kyle Palmieri (49:18). Plus, thoughts on Dan Vladar’s strong run in Philadelphia (56:18), Vancouver’s roster questions (57:12). The final thought focuses on how this year’s condensed schedule is grinding players down (1:02:06).
