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 wrap up the NHL trade deadline and look towards the playoffs. First, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times joins the show to talk about the Blackhawks’ additions – including Andrew Ladd – around the deadline and how aggressive they need to be while the core remains intact and the window remains open.

After that, Alan May, a Washington Capitals analyst for CSN Washington, calls in to chat about the Capitals, who didn’t make any big trades, but look poised to go on a long Stanley Cup playoff run.

Ryan and Rory also chat about the first Connor McDavid-Jack Eichel showdown, take a deeper look at the Capitals and wonder if this is finally the year Alex Ovechkin and crew break through. Do you think it is? Listen and let us know!
