Mike Rupp joins Dan & Shawn to recap the opening weekend of the 2025 NHL Playoffs. He dives into the Kings/Oilers series, what the Senators need to do down 0-2 against the Leafs, why he gives the edge to Colorado over Dallas, and shares his take on the Battle of Florida.

Before Rupp jumps on, the hosts react to early playoff highlights. From Ovechkin’s OT winner to the chaos of Game 1 in LA and Matthew Tkachuk’s return.

They close out the episode with a look at Lou Lamoriello’s future and a debate over which NHL coaching vacancy is the most promising.
