Howitzer Hockey

ROUND 3 is here, we are now down to only 4 teams! Dallas, Vegas, Florida, and Carolina will battle it out for a chance to lift the Stanley Cup. A ton of reflection on the Round 2 matchups. Leafs continue to fail in the playoffs; we talk possible fixes and changes that need to be made. Kraken had a nice season when everyone wrote them off at the start of the season. Oilers need more tweaking in areas. Devils had a nice run but clearly weren't ready yet. We discuss the best remaining players left in playoffs. Also, talking about who might be the best GM for the agin Pittsburgh Penguins. And also what is going on in Arizona!

A lot went on in the hockey world this past week. Round 2 hasn't been as exciting as Round 1 matchups but we have a strong feeling it is going to start picking up! Oilers and Knights are not afraid of the rough stuff, Petro is trying to chop Draisaitl's hand off. Kraken are no joke, plus they get McCann back in the lineup. Devils are on the brink of elimination. Leafs trying to do something that has only been done 4 times in NHL history. Chicago Blackhawks win the draft lottery and will most likely pick Bedard. Rangers and head coach Gallant mutually part ways. Bad news for Landeskog and the Avalanche. Bo Jackson is dealing with something no one would want to live with. Tune in for a great episode.

Round 1 is already over and it is hard to believe how fast the playoffs are going by. Another thing that is so hard to believe is that the Toronto Maple Leafs finally won a playoff round, snapping their 19 year drought. Devils win the battle of the Hudson as they bested the Rangers in 7. Hurricanes take down Islanders in 6. WTF happened to the Boston Bruins, the best regular season team ever got eliminated by the Florida Panthers. Oilers beat the LA Kings in the first round again. Vegas had the easiest first round out of any team as they got to play the Winnipeg Jets. Wild had no shot at beating the Stars, no body was scoring for them and Oettinger stood on his head. We go over the 2nd Round matchups, Darryl Sutter getting Fired, Famous people putting in bids for the Ottawa Senators, and much more.

A very exciting first round of the playoffs so far. We have had some shit officiating though and some teams are getting the shit end of the stick when it comes to some of these calls. The Toronto Maple Leafs look like a different team as of late as they look to advance past the 1st round since 2004. Oettinger is starting to play like he did in last years playoffs and that is great for Dallas as they try to advance to the 2nd round. Can the Avalanche get by the Kraken or will the Makar suspension be too much for them to overcome? Devils are coming back from the dead as they stole two games in Madison Square Garden. Oilers have the heavy foot on the gas pedal right now and there is no signs of letting up. Bruins will look to close out the Florida Panthers. And the New York Islanders are not going out without a fight either, as they look to force a Game 7 at home against the depleted Hurricanes.

Finally playoff hockey is here!! Has been a good start for some teams in the league and some shaky starts for others. A lot of adjusting for teams trailing 1-0 in their series. We cover every Game 1 of the playoffs so far. How were the Devils the favourites in the series? Rangers looked great and Devils were unprepared. Leafs put up a huge stinker and need to fill the void of Bunting as he gets suspended for 3 games, more than we thought he would get. Kraken shock the Avalanche in Game 1. We seen a ton of physicality so far and some massive hits, some that have been controversial. Refs have been controlling some games and pick and choosing when to make the calls. If you have a good Power-Play you are likely going to advance because the refs are calling a lot. A lot more we discuss, so enjoy and happy Playoff Hockey!

We go over each round of round 1 in the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs. Who can be key factors to their teams success to win a series. What teams have no chance and are basically getting a participation medal for showing up. And what teams we think are going to be advancing to round 2. We are so exciting for PLAYOFF HOCKEY!!
