The Cross-Check NHL Show

Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke commend the Montreal Canadiens for making the Stanley Cup Final competitive with a Game 4 win thanks to Josh Anderson’s two goal night. Next, are hockey curses actually real? Tampa Bay’s mayor got her wish for the Tampa Bay Lightning to lose Game 4, but can they regroup to win it all in Game 5 at home or did they just get jinxed?

Andrew and Mary also discuss Gary Bettman’s interview with Ron MacLean of Sportsnet and express their disappointment that the NHL commissioner wasn’t asked about the ongoing sexual abuse scandal in Chicago.

Finally, Andrew and Mary end the episode talking the new OLED Nintendo Switch and Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s PS5 enhancements.

On today's episode, Mary Clarke and Andrew Berkshire discuss the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final, where the Tampa Bay Lightning have taken a 2-0 lead going to Montreal. Did the Canadiens throw away a golden opportunity to tie the series up in Game 2 or is Tampa already too much for them?

Plus, Sportsnet's Justin Bourne joins the show to break down the Canadiens chances in the rest of the series, what Montreal can do better, and also look ahead to general manager Marc Bergevin's future with the organization.

Finally, Mary and Andrew end the episode with a spoiler-filled discussion on Loki and the weirdness of the MCU at large.

Mary Clarke is back from vacation to rejoin Andrew Berkshire, and the Chicago Blackhawks ruin the mood with revelations of not only sexual assault by a former video coach, but the lack of an investigation and report to the police, and a reference that enabled the abused on top of it all.

The hosts then try to bring the energy back into the room as they preview the Stanley Cup Final between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning are rightfully the heavy favorites in the series, but the Canadiens are giant slayers. Can they do it all over again against their biggest challenge yet?

Finally, Andrew and Mary bid adieu to the Vegas Golden Knights and New York Islanders, two teams in essentially the same position after back-to-back conference final losses, but with highly differing philosophies.

On today's episode of the Cross-Check NHL Show, co-host Mary Clarke is still on vacation, so Locked On Canadiens host Laura Saba joins Andrew Berkshire to break down the biggest stories in hockey.

Speaking of big stories, the Montreal Canadiens have gone from the 18th-best regular season record to the Stanley Cup favourites? What? How? Laura and Andrew break down the keys to their shocking Game Five win against the Vegas Golden Knights, including the trifecta of their young guns in Nick Suzuki, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, and Cole Caufield all having big games, and the absolute force that Corey Perry has been on and off the ice.

After looking at the Montreal side of the equation, the hosts welcome Jesse Granger from The Athletic to explain how Vegas found themselves in this situation, the goaltending carousel that we've seen in the playoffs, why the Golden Knights' forwards have been so silent offensively, and whether Max Pacioretty can be the answer.

We also ask Jesse why Mark Stone has been so neutralized, and whether DeBoer might be in trouble due to his lack of adjustments.

Today on the Cross-Check NHL Show, Mary Clarke is on vacation, so Laura Saba from Locked On Canadiens joins the show to help out Andrew Berkshire with the hosting duties.

Despite both Andrew and Laura being extremely tired of talking about the officials, after game four between the Montreal Canadiens and Vegas Golden Knights, the topic can't be avoided. Is the NHL even interested in fixing the issues plaguing this series? The hosts dive into that, and why the series is being officiated like it is, and no, it's not about a conspiracy against Montreal.

The hosts then break down each of the semi-final series as they stand, with similarities rearing their heads between the two series, with Montreal and the New York Islanders running parallel as underdogs. Can the less talented, tight defensive teams actually outduel the Golden Knights and Tampa Bay Lightning?

On today’s episode, Mary Clarke and Andrew Berkshire lament the state of NHL officiating after Game 2 between the Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Islanders suffer from botched calls. What can be done for the future of NHL officiating, or does the league want games to be played this way?

Plus, Shayna Goldman of The Athletic and the Too Many Men podcast join the show to break down new head coach of the New York Rangers, Gerard Gallant. Will Gallant bring offensive stability to the Rangers, what do New York’s expansion draft plans for Seattle look like, and will Kaapo Kakko and Alexis Lafreniere bounce back from so-so seasons?

Finally, Mary and Andrew finish the podcast with their Pop Culture Roulette, avoiding Loki spoilers while breaking down a lackluster E3.

This week Mary Clarke and Andrew Berkshire bid adieu to the Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche, two of the Stanley Cup Final favorites heading into the second round, after each were eliminated in six games. What's next for each team?

Looking forward, the hosts preview the series in progress between the New York Islanders and Tampa Bay Lightning, with the Mat Barzal and the Isles already stealing home ice with a shocking Game 1 victory over Nikita Kucherov and the heavily favored Bolts. Heading West and North, can the Montreal Canadiens pull off the upset once again? Are the Vegas Golden Knights too deep and too talented to be foiled by the plucky Habs? The hosts break it all down.

Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke break down the end of the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, with the Colorado Avalanche now on the ropes to the Vegas Golden Knights. Next, who can stop the Tampa Bay Lightning after they have advanced passed the Carolina Hurricanes? Also, Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy had harsh words to say about the officiating in the New York Islanders series.

Plus, Montreal Canadiens insider for Sportsnet Eric Engels joins the show to talk about the Habs' improbable run to the third round, where things all changed for this team, and if general manager Marc Bergevin deserves an extended stay after getting the team this far.

And finally, Andrew and Mary end on video game talk with E3 around the corner and wish one of the hosts a happy birthday!

On this episode of the Cross-Check NHL show, Mary Clarke and Andrew Berkshire dive into the controversial start to the second round series between the Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets, where Mark Scheifele lost his mind after Jake Evans iced the game with an empty net goal and charged him from nearly the full length of the ice. Will the NHL's department of player safety fail the league again in these Stanley Cup Playoffs?

Also, did you know the NHL Entry Draft lottery was on Wednesday? What does winning the first overall pick mean for the Buffalo Sabres?

Finally, Steve "Dangle" Glynn joins the podcast to talk about the fifth-straight first round failure from Toronto Maple Leafs, their eighth straight loss with a chance to advance, and the furious shift in public opinion about star winger Mitch Marner.
