Ryan Dixon and Rory Boylen co-host Tape to Tape, Sportsnet’s weekly NHL podcast and a one-stop shop for news, analysis, opinion, wild trade speculation and interviews covering news and entertainment around the league.

Want on-point analysis? We got it. Want trade scenarios of all kinds? We got it. Want insightful interviews with insiders, entertainers and players? We got that too. With these two putting their spin and giving their takes on the news each week, there’s no where else NHL fans need to go.


On this week’s show, the guys talk with Denver Post hockey writer Mike Chambers about the surprising, unpredictable Colorado Avalanche and the troubling court proceedings involving Semyon Varlamov.

Also on the show: the Montreal Canadiens continue a struggle of epic proportions, to the point where they’re now looking how far down the standings they could fall instead of how close they are to the playoffs. But with Marc Bergevin committing to Michel Therrien this season, what moves should the team be looking to make?

Aleksander Barkov signed a six-year extension worth $5.9 million a season – just what is he bringing to this Florida Panthers team?

Ryan and Rory also talk about the Ottawa Senators, a team struggling with consistency that enter the all-star break with some sharp words from coach Dave Cameron. And finally, Rory shares his thoughts on the upcoming GTHL vote that Don Cherry commented on during Coach’s Corner on Saturday night.
