About this episode
Here's what Drew Shore, Ryan Kennedy and Michael Traikos discussed:
1:49: How far do you think the Montreal Canadiens can get in this year's playoffs?
4:45: How can Montreal combat heavy play from other teams in the playoffs?
6:13: What is it like for a player going into the Bell Centre in Montreal?
7:06: There is a narrative out there that Toronto is a terrible place to play and all the Maple Leafs do is run their stars out of town. How real is this? Do they need to do some PR?
11:09: Drew, what was the perspective on playing in Toronto?
12:17: Are the Boston Bruins' playoff hopes destined to fail if they can't figure it out on the road?
15:10: Could James Hagens be added to the Bruins roster for the playoffs?
15:40: If Boston played Buffalo in the first round, would the Bruins be favored?
16:50: The Edmonton Oilers are starting to heat up at the right time. How important is it that they win the division?
19:19: The Oilers are playing the nuclear option of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl (with Jack Roslovic) together more – is this sustainable?
20:51: Where are the Philadelphia Flyers going? What are the Flyers' objectives after this season?
24:20: Drew, what do you do if you're the Flyers?
28:10: Ryan, what makes NHL draft prospect goaltender Harrison Boettiger's development unique?
30:40: Will any goalies go in the first round of the draft this year?
33:08: Macklin Celebrini is the third-fastest teenager to 90 points in a season, getting in 62 games. How many points will he finish the season with?
35:23: Which team would you rather have the 2025-26 Colorado Avalanche or the field going into the playoffs?
38:25: Nathan MacKinnon was ejected from yesterday's game for crashing into Oilers goalie Connor Ingram. Was a five-minute major the right call, or should it have only been two minutes?
41:44: Charlie McAvoy needs dental work again after being hit in the face Tuesday night. Does he deserve to win the Masterton Trophy at this point?
42:44: Do we consider Rasmus Dahlin a rat?
