Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Brian Lawton of NHL Network as they recap last night’s Game 5 between Florida and New York. They take a behind the scenes look at how the Panthers organization operates on all fronts, before discussing the pressures of being drafted first overall and what's behind Alexis Lafrenière's breakout this season. Then, Matt Marchese joins the conversation to chat about the optimism surrounding Chris Tanev's availability tonight, the media being a important medium for former players who want to get into coaching or management, and potential names for Utah's NHL franchise (32:02). Later, NHL Network's Mike Kelly shares his analytic project on Wayne Gretzky at the Canada Cup, highlighting the dominance of the Smythe Division in the 80’s and Gretzky’s knowledge of goaltending, before diving into the the Stanley Cup Playoffs and what the numbers say about Evan Bouchard (49:56). Former first overall draft pick and Panthers analyst Ed Jovanovski wraps up today's program with his takeaways from last night’s big win for the Panthers, along with why Bill Zito’s squad blooms in the playoffs, Anton Lundell’s development, and how the Panthers can retain their pending free agents (01:20:40).
