On this episode, Martin, Luke and Tie pick every East and West 2020 Playoff round winner. This includes how many games it will take to win. We disagreed on some of our choices but we always went with the majority. Let us know what you think by messaging us on IG @talkinghockey. Will there be any surprises this year? If so, who do you think it will be?

We might do an episode reflecting on this after the playoffs are all over if there are any major upsets.

In this episode, we talk with NHL player Sam Gagner, currently on the Detroit Red Wings, about the NHL restart plan and how excite players are to get back to playing. We also cover some questions and concerns that fans and players might be having regarding scheduling, safety, and playing in empty stadiums. Lastly, we discuss how different players and teams use analytics to their benefit and how these advanced stats will continue to be used in the game and how the new generation of players are better because of them. We also hear a really cool story about a bet that Gagner and Nugent-Hopkins made about Barzal and McDavid.

This could range from a team like the New York Rangers, to a team like Pittsburgh or the Leafs. Is this fair? Is this broken? That's exactly what we discuss on this week's episode as well as our general feelings about the draft lottery in other seasons. Three of us - Tie, Eric and Luke - think that it's fine the way it is, with some minor adjustments. Our local Sens fan though, thinks it's the worst system ever. Let's get into it!
