About this episode

The episode discusses the thrilling conclusion of the NHL's first round of playoffs and previews the upcoming second round matchups.

The essence of Stanley Cup theatre was on full display Friday as the Tampa Bay Lightning forced the lone seventh game in the opening round as Andrei Vasilevskiy simply refused to lose in the 1-0 OT win. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Sabres and Vegas Golden Knights both punch their tickets to the second round, taking out Boston and Utah respectively. Vic and Neil discuss the three games and also look ahead to the opening game of Round Two as Philadelphia takes on Carolina.
