Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now is joined by Will James of Philly Hockey Now for a deep dive into the first-round NHL playoff matchup between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers. Dan lays out why he believes the Penguins are legitimate contenders — not just an overachieving supporting cast — with Crosby and Malkin anchoring the group. Will gives the Flyers their due, pointing to their second-half surge and underdog mentality. Together they break down regulation wins (or the lack thereof for Philly), special teams, goaltending with Stu Skinner vs. Vladislav Vladar, the Crosby vs. Trevor Zegras matchup, playoff experience, Kyle Dubas's off-season moves, and more. Listener questions round out the show.
