Summary

Jeff and Producer Matt look back on the first night of the playoffs, including the Oilers blowing a late third period lead against the Kings! Avalanche play-by-play voice Conor McGahey weighs in on what he saw on opening night of the second season, why there shouldn’t be any concerns about Colorado’s goaltending, and the great second half for Nathan MacKinnon (15:17). Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review Journal chats about expectations for Game 1 between Vegas and Winnipeg, before looking ahead to Mark Stone’s return and Laurent Brossoit's playoff start (32:40). Play-by-play voice Chris Cuthbert wraps things up discussing the ramifications of a potential first round loss for Tampa, where Toronto's current roster differs from year's past, and if he’s seen enough from Joseph Woll to step in if Ilya Samsonov falters (50:09). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
