Summary

Off the top, Jeff Marek is joined by Leafs Nation's own Gord Stellick to discuss the Bruins’ win over the Maple Leafs, their mutual admiration for the Hughes family, and the Seattle Kraken clinching their first playoff berth in franchise history. Afterwards, The Athletic's Peter Baugh weighs in on Colorado's consistency with Jared Bednar at the helm, the importance for Colorado to be top dogs in the Central, and J.T. Compher strong play this season (33:06). In the 2nd hour, Penguins play-by-play voice Josh Getzoff hops on to talk about Pittsburgh’s late Wild Card push and Tristan Jarry’s injury struggles this season, before singing his praises for Jason Zucker’s productivity and “moxie” (50:06). Finally, Jonathan Davis of NHL Network Radio stops by to chat about the Golden Knight's playoff expectations with Jack Eichel healthy, the Kings’ odds in a playoff series against Edmonton, and the Predators' resiliency behind the stellar play of Juuse Saros (01:20:50).
