Hosted by Kyle Knopp and Matthew Zator, The Hockey Writers Podcast is where your favourite THW contributors discuss the hottest topics around the NHL and hockey world, five days a week (Monday to Friday). In today’s episode, Kyle is joined by Colin Newby (Philadelphia Flyers/Metro Specialist) and Matt Grazel (Flyers, Rangers, Devils) to set the stage for the Eastern Conference Final and touch on the controversal non-offside call last night in Game 1 of the Oilers/Avalanche series. 

Colin, Matt, and Kyle kickoff the episode discussing the Western Conference Final Game 1 and if Colorado's third goal should have been offside or not. That drives the back and forth to how that changed the momentum of the game, and if the Oilers were right to feel like they got the short end of the stick. Finally, the three preview the Eastern Conference Final including the x-factors, goaltending matchup, and home ice advantage before sharing their articles of the day.
