In Part 1 of arguably one of the most anticipated crossover events in hockey podcasting history, Craig Custance joins the show to discuss covering the World Championships (1:23), the winners and losers of the Golden Knights playoff run (8:24), and whether their surprising success will have any longer term ramifications on the rest of the league (18:10). We also get into Capitals-Lightning (31:42), and look ahead to the most interesting teams to keep an eye on this summer (42:58).
