Summary

Jeff and Elliotte look back on a great night of hockey in Round 2, before getting into the Rangers' decision to keep Chris Kreider during their “rebuild” and how New York advanced to the Eastern Conference Final. The conversation moves to the Carolina Hurricanes, their very interesting off-season and the potential for a buyout of Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Jeff and Elliotte close out with a chat about what the Canucks were able to do in Game 5 against the Oilers, J.T. Miller’s continued success in the playoffs and who should start in goal for Edmonton in Game 6. 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.
