Summary

Ian Mendes of The Athletic joins Jeff to discuss the cool send off for Craig Anderson in his final game, before getting into the Senators' need to address their goaltending this summer and Ottawa's looming ownership questions. Next up, Sportsnet's Luke Gazdic weighs in on Oilers' playoff mindset, Connor McDavid's "take no prisoners" approach, Stuart Skinner's outstanding rookie season, and Edmonton's chances to make it out of the Western Conference (17:21). Finally, former NHL coach and NHL Network analyst, Bruce Boudreau hops on the show to reminisce about the "nicest" ways he's been let go, which first round matchups will be the most physically demanding, and how fun it will be to see Matthew Tkachuk try to bother the Bruins in their first round series (46:45). 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.
