Brenden Escott opens the April 17 show with Sportsnet’s Luke Gazdic joining for some playoff discussion.
The regular season wrapped with absolute chaos—nowhere more so than the Pacific Division, where playoff scenarios shifted by the hour right up to the final buzzer. In this episode, we break down one of the wildest finishes in recent memory and what it all means heading into the postseason.
We dive into the teams that caught fire at just the right time, forcing their way into the playoff picture, and debate whether that late-season momentum is real—or a mirage once the intensity ramps up. On the other side, we unpack the crushing collapse of the Detroit Red Wings and what a finish like that means for an organization trying to take the next step.
From there, the focus shifts to the Edmonton Oilers, who locked up second in the Pacific. Has their identity evolved down the stretch? Is there a newfound commitment to defending, and how much credit goes to the stability in goal from Connor Ingram? We also explore the impact of Paul Coffey’s presence behind the bench and whether it’s had a tangible effect on this group.
To close things out, we preview the most intriguing playoff matchups—including a Battle of Pennsylvania—and put it all on the line with bold predictions. Who’s built for a deep run, and which team will be the last one standing when the Stanley Cup is handed out?
It’s all here as we gear up for what promises to be an unforgettable playoff ride. Don’t forget to follow Brenden on X (@BrendenEscott) and subscribe to the show wherever you get your streaming audio.
