Jeff Marek welcomes Pierre McGuire back to The Sheet for a wide-ranging, story-packed episode diving deep into every corner of the hockey world. The two break down how Matthew Schaefer’s breakout season with the Islanders has him in rare rookie company — drawing comparisons to legends like Brian Leetch and Scott Niedermayer — and how Macklin Celebrini’s mature two-way game is reminding scouts of a young Jonathan Toews. They debate whether Canada could bring Schaefer or Celebrini to Italy for the 2026 Olympics, discuss John Tavares’s understated 500th-goal milestone and Hall of Fame case, and react to Evgeni Malkin’s fine, Matvei Michkov’s collision with Chris Tanev, and the NHL’s inconsistent discipline standards. From Anaheim’s surprising rise under Joel Quenneville to Kiefer Sherwood’s breakout year in Vancouver and classic hockey history tales about Bernie Parent, Rogie Vachon, and Joe Sakic, it’s a masterclass in storytelling and analysis from two of the sport’s most insightful voices.
