About this episode

The episode discusses the Carolina Hurricanes' playoff success, NHL offseason storylines, and features an interview with David Pagnotta.

The Carolina Hurricanes are now one win away from the Stanley Cup Final after taking both games in Montreal and grabbing a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Canadiens. Tyler and the crew break down what’s gone wrong for the Habs, whether there’s still any hope left in the series, and why Carolina continues to look like the most complete team remaining in the playoffs. We also play Fill In The Blank with some of the NHL’s biggest offseason storylines, including the future of Jason Robertson in Dallas, Connor Hellebuyck in Winnipeg, and whether Jared Bednar could actually be on the hot seat in Colorado. Then it’s time for an offseason preview focused on the New York Islanders. What should priority number one be this summer, and what would a dream offseason look like for the Isles as they try to get back into contention? David Pagnotta joins for the Insider Notebook to discuss what could be a franchise-changing offseason for the Avalanche, what direction the Pittsburgh Penguins could take with Evgeni Malkin, and other major NHL storylines developing around the league. 👍🏼 Powered by bet365 | Hockey fans - Check out bet-three-six-five’s 3-Goal Early Payout.
