Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne welcome in former NHL president, GM and head coach Doug MacLean for the first Off The Rails Friday of 2026 to discuss Sam Bennett's snub off Team Canada's roster, how USA Hockey have constructed their Olympic team, who would replace Bo Horvat if he can't participate, Leafs' playoff chances, why Buffalo Sabres fans should continue to be satisfied with Lindy Ruff leading the bench, concerns with Linus Ullmark's leave of absence affecting the Ottawa Senators, and Brad Marchand escaping a one-game suspension after his hit on Mike Matheson. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee head to the text line to hear some of your comments, questions and much more!
