Greetings and salutations! In this episode, Ant, Sparky, and Pat discuss recent changes in the coaching landscape of the NHL including the hiring of Coach Q by the Florida Panthers. Then, we get into the match-ups for this season's Stanley Cup playoffs with thoughts on each series. In order, we discuss Lightning/Blue Jackets, Bruins/Maple Leafs, Capitals/Hurricanes, Islanders/Penguins, Flames/Avalanche, Sharks/Golden Knights, Predators/Stars, and Jets/Blues. We also look at possible repercussions for some of the coaches of the potential losing teams (lookin' at you Babcock!), as well as our picks for each round through the Stanley Cup Final. And, we talk about the upcoming draft lottery and who some of the first few picks may be. Lastly, we riff on NBC's coverage of the NHL. Cheers!

***Special tap of of the stick to Bob Cole who is retiring after calling hockey games for Canadian TV for 50 years. His call of the last few seconds of the Carolina Hurricanes' 2006 Stanley Cup winning Game 7 over the Edmonton Oilers is featured as the intermission to our podcast.
