Keith Jones from NBC Sports joins Scott to discuss the accelerated NHL Playoffs, that have kept him busy as he sets up shop at NBC headquarters  in Connecticut.
Jonesy discusses the game one win for the Islanders over Philadelphia, Tampa looking back to get in their series with Boston and what moves the Flyers and Lightning need to make to get back into their respective series.
We head West for an early morning chat with Mike McKenna, the analyst for the Vegas Golden Knights.  Mike discusses the condensed schedule in these playoffs, and how challenging it is for goaltenders.  Mike looks back on game two between Dallas and Colorado, and the somewhat shocking result that sees the Stars up 2 games to none over the favorite from Denver.
Mike also discusses the dominant performance that Vegas gave in game one vs the Vancouver Canucks, and if Vancouver has a chance  in this series with the Stanley Cup Favorite from Nevada.
