Summary

An argument as old as time (maybe not)... Should the NHL adopt an expanded playoffs? Elliotte, once again, makes his best case for why the league would benefit from the move despite the lack of competitive teams near the bottom of the current playoff standings. Jeff and Elliotte also focus on Auston Matthews as he notched 60 goals this season and presents the next legitimate threat to Gretzky's (one day Ovi's) goal scoring record. They also touch on the Minnesota Wild, Jonathan Quick, the Seattle Kraken, and much more.
