It only took a year from start to finish, but the NHL managed to salvage the 2019-20 season and award the Stanley Cup. In episode 156, host Sarah Avampato looks at the Tampa Bay Lightning's win over the Dallas Stars, plus realizes very, very belatedly, that there are two more connections to the Los Angeles Kings in the winning Lightning organization. Plus: did you ever feel like the outcome of this game was in doubt? When's the last time you felt like a Cup-clinching game could have gone either way?

In episode 153, host Sarah Avampato (Line to the Throne) looks at the current state of the Dallas Stars in the Stanley Cup Final. Have they hit a wall?

In episode 152, host Sarah Avampato (Line to the Throne) talks Germany. Not German, we don't know how to speak any German. We talk Eisbären Berlin, to be specific, as the Los Angeles Kings are sending five prospects overseas to practice with the team. Time for Alex Turcotte, Tyler Madden, Akil Thomas, Aidan Dudas, and Jacob Ingham to fire up the Duolingo app to learn some German. We look at the other familiar faces with NHL/AHL experience who are currently playing in Berlin. Plus, news from the Sharks bench, and some big concerns out of Russia.

In episode 149, host Sarah Avampato (Line to the Throne) gives you one last chance to pick your allegiances for the Stanley Cup Final. Will you root for the Stars, knowing John Stevens will lift the Stanley Cup again, but then again, so would Corey Perry? Or will you root for the Lightning, who are light on substantial ex-Kings, but also do not have, well, Corey Perry? Plus, a look at some NHL firsts that we've experienced in this round of the playoffs. And Jason Hernandez (Locked On Ducks) joins to talk about our favorite and least favorite minor league arenas.

In episode 148, host Sarah Avampato (Line to the Throne) looks at the career and accomplishments of former Los Angeles Kings forward Tony Granato, who will be inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. Then things take a turn towards the serious as we look at the hockey history that's lost by having historical games be largely inaccessible to new fans. And a listener pointed out that New York Islanders defenseman and former Kings prospect Thomas Hickey is, in fact, in the bubble, which sends us all on a spiral down that 2007 NHL Draft and Hickey's inability to catch on in LA.
