The Montreal Canadiens went 27 minutes without a shot on goal in last night’s Game 7, including the entire second period, but they still found a way to score twice to move on to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and send the Tampa Bay Lightning to their fourth consecutive first-round exit. The guys break it all down and discuss the 15-goal Game 1 between the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche, the Carolina Hurricanes blanking the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 1 of their series, and how the Mikko Rantanen trades have aged over time, as well as a lookahead to the Anaheim Ducks-Vegas Golden Knights series. Plus, The Athletic’s own Chris Johnston joins the show to talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs hiring Mats Sundin and John Chayka and the blunt comments from Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl from Edmonton Oilers locker cleanout.
