The 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs just keep on getting better and better. Both the Eastern and Western Conference Finals are down to best-of-three’s and there has been a lot of drama in each series.
Both Frank and Jason were out in Edmonton last night as the Oilers came from behind to win Game 4 against the Dallas Stars. There were plenty of positives to pull from the victory for the Oilers and on the other side, the Stars were dealt a massive blow as Chris Tanev didn’t play the third period after blocking a shot. Frank talked about how significant that loss could be.
They also praised Head Coach Kris Knoblauch for his timely adjustments ahead of the game.
Out East, the series is tied 2-2 heading back to MSG for Game 5. The Panthers have undoubtedly been the better team but Igor Shesterkin has evened things out and kept the Rangers in a lot of these games. Jason also praised the strong play of Alexis Lafreniere while also talking about how badly the Rangers need their star forwards to find their games.
They also took a look at the coaching market as the Seattle Kraken officially introduced Dan Bylsma as their second Head Coach in franchise history. That means the San Jose Sharks are the only team with a vacancy behind their bench.
Tyler returned to the show for a new edition of Fill in the Blank presented by Wendys. He asked the guys about a couple of the more interesting names that popped up on Frank’s first Trade Targets board of the offseason.
3:30 - Oilers grab momentum 12:40 - Can the Rangers find their game? 20:00 - Benn’s impact & Hintz’s return 25:50 - Kraken hire Bylsma

From there, they got into the two Conference Finals. They started out in the Eastern Conference where Sergei Bobrovsky pitched a shutout in Game 1 as the Panthers took the series opener. They debated whether or not the Panther's speed and physicality would be too much for the Rangers.
They then went into the Western Conference where the Oilers and Stars are getting set for Game 1 out in Texas.

The Coaching Carousel Continues & Bob Stands Tall at MSG

These Stanley Cup Playoffs just keep on getting more and more dramatic.
The guys sat down in Edmonton to record an in-person edition of the podcast after watching the Oilers beat the Canucks 5-1 in Game 6 of their second-round series and has forced a seventh game.
It feels like the Oilers got their swagger back a little bit with their big victory. Will that confidence carry over? Or is Game 7 a total coin flip? Jason and Frank discussed.
They also hit on the Dallas Stars' dramatic double-OT win over the Colorado Avalanche. Dallas has looked like an absolute wagon these entire playoffs and that was true for most of this series against the Avalanche. Will they have an easy time with whoever comes out of the Pacific? Or will injuries hold them back? Tyler also popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank presented by Wendys where he asked the guys some big offseason questions about the teams who lost in the second round.
Coming off those questions, they continued the conversation by talking about the big decisions that the Hurricanes have to make this summer. Do they need to make sweeping changes or can they run it back with a similar group?
They also did their preview of the Eastern Conference Final. After putting away the Bruins in six games, the Panthers will meet the President's Trophy winning New York Rangers with a trip to the Stanley Cup Final on the line. The guys discussed the key battlegrounds in that series.
They wrapped up the show by talking about the Craig Berube hiring in Toronto. Gregor wondered if he could have a Rick Tocchet like impact with this Maple Leafs group. Frank said this new hire needs to be paired with major roster changes.
Frank also had an update on the Matvei Michkov situation. There are rumblings that the Flyers could be getting him two years earlier than expected.
