About this episode
These Stanley Cup Playoffs just keep on getting more and more dramatic. The guys sat down in Edmonton to record an in-person edition of the podcast after watching the Oilers beat the Canucks 5-1 in Game 6 of their second-round series and has forced a seventh game. It feels like the Oilers got their swagger back a little bit with their big victory. Will that confidence carry over? Or is Game 7 a total coin flip? Jason and Frank discussed. They also hit on the Dallas Stars' dramatic double-OT win over the Colorado Avalanche. Dallas has looked like an absolute wagon these entire playoffs and that was true for most of this series against the Avalanche. Will they have an easy time with whoever comes out of the Pacific? Or will injuries hold them back? Tyler also popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank presented by Wendys where he asked the guys some big offseason questions about the teams who lost in the second round. Coming off those questions, they continued the conversation by talking about the big decisions that the Hurricanes have to make this summer. Do they need to make sweeping changes or can they run it back with a similar group? They also did their preview of the Eastern Conference Final. After putting away the Bruins in six games, the Panthers will meet the President's Trophy winning New York Rangers with a trip to the Stanley Cup Final on the line. The guys discussed the key battlegrounds in that series. They wrapped up the show by talking about the Craig Berube hiring in Toronto. Gregor wondered if he could have a Rick Tocchet like impact with this Maple Leafs group. Frank said this new hire needs to be paired with major roster changes. Frank also had an update on the Matvei Michkov situation. There are rumblings that the Flyers could be getting him two years earlier than expected. 4:40 - Oilers force Game 7 11:45 - The Canucks stars 17:55 - Oilers coaching adjustments 20:30 - Demko’s availability 24:30 - Stars take down Avalanche 34:50 - Fill in the Blank 47:10 - Changes in Carolina? 55:35 - Rangers vs Panthers preview 1:04:40 - Berube to the Maple Leafs 1:15:20 - Will the Flyers get Michkov early?
