About this episode
The episode discusses the Las Vegas Knights' coaching change and its implications for the NHL playoffs.
In a surprising turn of events, the Las Vegas Knights have fired Bruce Cassidy and brought in John Tortorella in hopes of energizing the team. Questions around the league are being raised about the Toronto Maple Leafs' strategy, particularly why they are not opting for a tank mode similar to the Florida Panthers to safeguard their first-round pick. Additionally, as the playoffs approach, which of the three potential first-round matchups would the Montreal Canadiens prefer: Buffalo, Tampa Bay, or Carolina? The answer to this question could significantly impact the teams' future in the postseason.
