The Cross-Check NHL Show

On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, Nathan McKinnon had the goal of the playoffs, only for the Colorado Avalanche to lose to the St. Louis Blues in overtime. Will this be a missed opportunity for the Avalanche as the series swings back to St. Louis?

Hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke also discuss the two other playoff series remaining, the first between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames. Connor McDavid is finally being unleashed and Jacob Markstrom hasn’t been able to match it in net. The Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers are also… there.

Plus, the rumor mill is churning as John Tortorella has been heavily linked to the Philadelphia Flyers, but Mary isn’t so sure his Broad Street Bully style of coaching is the right move for this team.

On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, the first series of the second round of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs has completed. The Florida Panthers were swept out of the second round by the Tampa Bay Lightning as their lethal offense came to a complete standstill.

Hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke then discuss the horrific racist acts against Nazem Kadri, who showed up his haters by scoring a hat trick in Game 4 for the Colorado Avalanche. Meanwhile, Jordan Binnington, the St. Louis Blues, and head coach Craig Berube melt down in an embarrassing fashion with their on-ice and off-ice conduct.

Plus, Andrew and Mary discuss the Battle of Alberta with the Edmonton Oilers flipping the script on the Calgary Flames and the just… fine series between the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers. The two finally end the episode talking about the latest Thor: Love and Thunder trailer!

Everyone was hyped up for the first Battle of Alberta series in over 30 years, but no one could have predicted a game as wild as the one we got to open it. What does game one between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames tell us about the series, and how many rounds can Brady Tkachuk cheer this hard for Matthew Tkachuk?

Checking in on the other series in the second round, are the Florida Panthers broken? Can Tampa Bay actually win a third straight Stanley Cup? Are the St. Louis Blues and New York Rangers already in trouble after losing what might be their best chances at controlling their respective series' against the Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes?

Finally, the hosts have to talk about Arizona again, as details for the arena deal with ASU have been reported on, and it doesn't look great for the Coyotes.

The Toronto Maple Leafs did it again. Not only did they lose, but they are now the first team in North American sports history to lose it all in the first round of a do or die game five years straight. Sheldon Keefe is 0-6 with a chance to win a series, and Leafs fans are very sad.

Do the Leafs run it back or do they make changes this summer? Mary Clarke and Andrew Berkshire debate what the best approach is, and whether or not this team is straight up cursed.

After the full post mortem on the Leafs, the hosts get to work previewing and predicting the second round of the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs, starting out West with the Colorado Avalanche vs the St. Louis Blues, and the Battle of Alberta between the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers.

Journeying back East, the hosts break down and predict the series' featuring the Battle of Florida between the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning, and the Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Rangers.

On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, the final days of the first round are upon us. Hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke dissect the awesome first round matchup between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning, with two heavyweights with two incredible narratives duking it out.

Next, the New York Rangers and Florida Panthers have punched back in their series, but the biggest news out of the Eastern Conference is Sidney Crosby’s injury. Will the Pittsburgh Penguins have what it takes to overcome another potential devastating injury to their team’s core?

Plus, the Colorado Avalanche advanced to the second round, sweeping the Nashville Predators. While this result was expected, the true test is yet to come for the Avalanche in the next round.

On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke discuss the interesting developments in the first round of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The New York Rangers, Florida Panthers, and Calgary Flames are all faltering as the favorites in their first round series. Will the offensive firepower of the Panthers and Flames wake up? And will Igor Shesterkin be able to steal games in net like he used to?

Next, the New York Islanders surprisingly fired head coach Barry Trotz after an unfortunate season that, honestly, isn’t to blame on the head coach. Though Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello isn’t the cutting-edge hockey man he used to be, this move is a real stunner and absolutely gifts a team one of the best head coaches in the NHL.

Plus, the Ottawa Senators fired Pierre McGuire after less than a year working as the team’s senior vice-president of player development. McGuire could very well head back to the broadcasting scene after a likely rift with general manager Pierre Dorion caused the split.

And finally, Andrew and Mary go deep into spoiler territory to discuss Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and their thoughts on the newest Marvel film!

After a dominant game one, the Maple Leafs were handed a lesson by the reigning Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning in game two. Can the Leafs still win this series now that the champs are here?

Speaking of championship pedigree, the Avalanche don't have it yet, but they sent a statement in game one that they're ready to be champs by chasing David Rittich before the end of the first period. Can the Preds win a game?

For our middle segment, we talk about the news that Mike Ribeiro has been charged with sexual assault, the second time we have documentation that he's done this. A lot of people have failed over the last few decades to stop his criminal behaviour.

Finally, the Penguins and Rangers went to triple OT in game one, with Penguins having to change to their third string goaltender midway through double overtime! Can the rest of the series match that level of intensity?

On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, the 2022 Stanley Cup playoff field is set as the Dallas Stars are the 16th and final team to qualify, leaving the Vegas Golden Knights out. Hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke discuss the wild final few days of the season plus the reason why the Golden Knights are Public Enemy No. 1 in the NHL.

Next, Andrew and Mary talk about who they’d give the major NHL awards to now that the season is all but finished. Auston Matthews feels like a shoe in for the Hart Trophy with Igor Shesterkin the no-brainer Vezina Trophy winner, but what about the rest of the awards?

Before next Monday’s early show to preview the NHL playoffs, Andrew and Mary give their Stanley Cup champions predictions. In a year featuring absolute juggernauts and chaotic teams, who has the best chance to raise the Stanley Cup by June’s end?

On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke discuss the fading playoff hopes of the Vegas Golden Knights. The Los Angeles Kings have done their job, winning four straight and nearly clinching a postseason spot while the Golden Knights stumbled in a 5-4 shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks.

Next, the Buffalo Sabres have been playing better these last few months. Even with the team well out of a playoff spot, they’ve had some feel-good stories recently, from Tage Thompson’s breakout season to Owen Power finally getting a shot in the lineup.

And finally, Andrew and Mary celebrate the life of Montreal Canadiens great Guy Lafleur, who passed away last week. The Canadiens held an incredibly moving ceremony to honor Lafleur’s life and playing career, showcasing that Montreal really is the best of the best in the NHL in terms of presentation and spectacle.
