Gary Bettman says playoff format won't change, backup goalies aplenty in round 1, and spicy pork and broccoli

Ian and Sean discuss Gary Bettman's comments on the NHL's playoff format from Wednesday night, and if there would be benefits to changing seedings or adding a play-in system. Also, with many starting goalies going down at the end of the regular season, teams are going to their 2nd or 3rd string goalies within the first games of round 1, and Sean shares his thoughts on EBUGs. Jesse Granger returns for "Granger Things" to discuss Louis Domingue's meal before jumping into Tuesday's 3OT game between the Penguins and Rangers, the end of Vegas' season, and some interesting stats from the playoffs so far. Then the guys wrap with a few questions from the mailbag, and a look back with "This Week in Hockey History". Have a question for Ian and Sean?
